Oke-day next chapter. Yay-me!! Also Im changing all pokemon talk to normal until Piper is able to gain their trust and understand.
Disclaimer: I don't not own Pokemon, just Piper, Trion, and her Pokemon in a sense. Or the Prince of Egypt lullaby, but I wish I did own them.
Also I'm bad at grammar and stuff like that, so give me a break people. And as for the 1st, 2nd , 3rd person thing, look I'm not good at this so please enough with the flames.
"Okay perhaps running into the forest was a bad idea." Piper said as she leaned against a tree.
"Hmm, I guess now would be a good time as any to eat some lunch." Piper said as she sat down in the crook of a tree and pulled out her lunch. (What am I gunna do about Kenshin. Its obvious he doesn't like me very much, well I wouldn't blame him after what happened to him. I just wish he didn't judge all humans off of his old trainer.) Piper thought to herself while eating.
"I wonder if Kenshin's hungry?" Piper asked herself as she pulled out Kenshin's pokeball.
"Come on out Kenshin!" The Shiny Scyther appeared in a flash of white. "Scyther Scy!" Kenshin snapped at her. Piper shrank back slightly, and replied, "Um, would you like something to eat?" Kenshin just blinked at her. Piper ripped her sandwich in half and held one half out to him, "Here its Peanut Butter and Blackberry-Strawberry Jelly with Twizzlers."
Kenshin looked at the sandwich then back at Piper, "Go on, take it. Its not poisonous or anything." Piper laughed. Kenshin walked forward slowly watching every move Piper made, but she didn't move a muscle until Kenshin had taken the sandwich and swallowed it. Then she withdrew her arm and smiled at him. He smiled slightly, but his smile went right back into a frown after a second. (Good grief.) Piper thought rolling her eyes.
Kenshin walked off and jumped into the tree next to Piper and closed his eyes, (Well at least he's not leaving.)
Piper grinned then leaned against the tree she was sitting at and closed her eyes, and began to sing,
"Hush now my baby. Be still, love, don't cry.
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream.
Sleep and remember my last lullaby…
So I'll be with you when you dream."
Kenshin opened his eyes and looked over at Piper, as she began to sing louder.
"River, oh River, flow gently for me,
such precious cargo you bear.
Do you know somewhere he can be free?
River, deliver, him there." Piper took a quick breath, as tears began to fall. And keep singing but in a quieter, lighter voice. Almost childlike,
"Brother your say now,
and safe may you stay.
For I have a prayer just for you.
Grow, baby brother.
Come back someday.
Come and deliver us, too." Piper finished quietly and began to breath very slowly. Kenshin looked at her more closely and saw that she had fallen asleep, (Put to sleep by her own lullaby. Although I have to admit it was beautiful. Yet, why was she crying? Perhaps…No! All humans are the same. They will never change.) Kenshin glanced at Piper once more before falling asleep.
FF to a few hours later
Piper felt something nudge her side gently, "Huh, wha?" Piper opened her eyes and found herself looking into the eyes of a black creature. "Aaaaahhhhhh!!!" Piper screamed. The black creature winced slightly and stepped back. Piper then saw it was only Kenshin.
"Kenshin? Oh my head. What time is it? Where are we?" Piper questioned. Kenshin just rolled his eyes and gave her a look that clearly said, 'How should I know?' Piper looked at an old pocket watch her grandfather had given to her.
"9:35 p.m. July 15th. Good grief. I've been asleep almost 10 hours now." Piper looked up at the sky and saw the stars twinkling above her and Kenshin. Piper shook her head and gathered her bag and hoisted it onto her shoulder. Then she pointed Kenshin's pokeball at him, but hesitated, Kenshin looked at her questionably. Piper just looked at the ball before clipping it back on her belt and walking off. When Kenshin saw this he first thought she was abandoning him just like his previous trainer, but she turned around and smiled at him.
"Well are you coming or not?" She asked. Kenshin looked at her in surprise for a moment, but regained his composure when Piper began to walk off again. He caught up with her quickly and walked beside her in silence.
"You know Kenshin," Piper started. Kenshin looked at her out of the side of his eye.
"Not all humans are the same. Most are simply misunderstood." Kenshin looked at her unsure of what she was getting to.
"Humans are like Pokemon in a way. Take a Gyarados for example. They are said to be cruel, heartless creatures that will have no remorse to killing a human. But that's not true. The Gyarados are that way because as Magikarp they were mistreated and made fun of. By evolving into a Gyarados, they show people that Magikarp can become amazing creatures. They become what that way to show that they are not to be taken lightly and that you most fear them. But, that's wrong. They evolve into what others fear, so they can show that their not weak and pathetic, but strong and mighty. Some humans are the same way. As children they can be abused and mistreated, and change into people created by there sadness and hate." Piper stopped briefly, but she had Kenshin's full attention now.
"Others could have a sad life, with much sadness and grief. But soon become happy doing the things they enjoy or protecting others, like a Cubone and Marowak. Then there are humans and pokemon who are treated wrong for no reason at all, just because they are different. Like you and me for one." Kenshin's eyes widened at what she said.
"You were abandoned because of your coloring, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Your old trainer was wrong to treat you the way he did. No one, human or pokemon, deserved what you had to go through." Kenshin stared at Piper, his facial expressions clearly showing that he wanted to know how they were similar. Piper smiled, never looking at him. Just watching the path ahead.
"You want to know how were similar. Well you know my name is Piper, but you don't know my full name. Most people know me as Piper Valdez. But that's not my true name. My real name is Piper Masoto, the daughter of Trion Masoto." Kenshin was way passed caring what his facial expressions showed at this point, cause he was starring at Piper as if she had two heads and a Charmeleons' tail.
Everyone in the world knew who Trion Masoto is. He was the leader of Team Aztec, a team twice as powerful as Team Rocket. Trion Masoto was the cold heartless leader who would kill anyone to get what he wanted. The symbol for Team Aztec was an old Aztec medallion, (Just like the one Piper wears.) Kenshin thought. Trion was known for caring only for two things: himself, and his mysterious daughter. The only thing known about his daughter was that her name was Piper, and that she had supposedly died three years ago.
"Yet, everyone treats me like I am my father. When I'm not. Trion could care less about Pokemon, and their feelings. While that is what I strive for. As I grew up I was taunted and teased for being who I was. Humans and Pokemon alike were scared to death of me. They wouldn't get within 5 feet of me. And when they did it was to hit me, or mock me. Pokemon would sometimes come to about three feet of me and snap at my legs, or threaten me with fireballs, ice beams, thundershocks, and many other things. Just to see me suffer when I had done nothing." Piper had already started to cry, but now her tears where flowing non-stop. Kenshin looked at her surprised, he had always heard that Piper Masoto had been just like her father. Yet here she was crying her eyes out, claiming her life was half ruined for being who she was.
"After putting up with it for all those years, I decided to end it all. Almost three years ago I tried to end it. I knocked out my nanny, tied her up, and dragged her outside far from my home. Then I grabbed everything special to me and I put it in a coffin and buried it for good. After I locked myself in my room and covered myself and most of my room in gasoline and I lit a match," Piper stopped momentarily to take a deep breath; all the while Kenshin was staring at her not believing what he was hearing.
"I tossed the match into the corner of the room and closed my eyes waiting for it all to end. I could feel the flames licking my legs every few seconds. Suddenly I heard my balcony doors shatter. And I jumped up, the smoke blocked most of my vision my I could make out the faint outline of a figure. I screamed at them telling them to leave and let me die. The next thing I know I was being picked up in strangely shaped arms. They carried me out the balcony doors and into the night. I had keep my eyes closed until then, but I soon opened my eyes and looked down only to see I was high in the air. I nearly fainted right then, and wrapped my arms around the neck of my savior. After a while I felt them slow down then land, and gently putting me on the ground. I looked up at them expecting to see a human and their pokemon, but I didn't." Piper looked at Kenshin with a slight smile, "Can you guess what I saw that night?" Kenshin thought for a moment, and then shook his head. Piper smile widened slightly, and she looked ahead once more.
"It was a Scyther. But this Scyther was different. He was a white Scyther. His entire body was snow white, including his wings and scythes. I looked up at him in awe. He was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, but I was confused as to why he saved me. So I asked him. He then said, in plain English, 'No one deserves to die that way. I have been watching you for sometime now, Piper Masoto. I have seen the pain and suffering you have been through, even though you have done no wrong. I know of some humans who would be happy to look after you, under a new name. No one would know who you were. Would you be willing to give up what you have now to be with them or will you stay here?'" Piper stopped once again to take a quick breath before she continued.
"I nearly died of bliss then and there. I told him that I would be happy to leave, but only if he let me get my stuff from the coffin. Once I retrieved my stuff he picked me up and took me to my current home with the Valdez's. They were happy to take me in, and just when the Scyther was about to leave I called to him and ran to him and hugged him with the little strength I had left. He laughed and hugged me back. I asked him who he was and if I would ever see him again. He told me that he didn't have a name, and that he would always be watching over me. So I gave him one. I gave him a name that fit him perfectly, even if it was a bit cliché. I named him Savior." Piper laughed lightly, shaking her head. She looked down at the ground in a slight trance. (She must miss him. A white Scyther, why does that seem so familiar?) Kenshin thought to himself.
"I haven't heard from him sense that night, but I know he's out there." Piper looked up at the sky, "Always watching me, protecting me from my father." Piper sighed deeply, and then looked ahead of her.
"Oh Kenshin, look!!" Piper pointed in front of her and Kenshin could see the lights from a city.
"Ha ha! Come on Kenshin Viridian awaits." Piper called as she ran off. Kenshin just shook his head, (She will be the end of me.) Kenshin then looked at her running form a bit confused, (Why did she tell me about her past? If I had been her I would have never told anyone, yet she has only known me for a few hours and has already told me her darkest secret. Why is she so kind to me? Who was that white Scyther, and why does he seem so familiar to me? There are to many unanswered questions here for my liking) Kenshin shook his head and ran after the laughing Piper, many questions running through his mind.
Me: Okay that was a long chapter. Well if you have any questions just ask.
Kenshin: A white Scyther, is that the best you could come up with?
Me: Oh shut-up.
Me and Kenshin: Read and Review please.
