Sup guys? Yup, I'm back with a new chapter, starring your favorite characters: Rin, Rina, and Blizz.
Blizz, Disclaimer please.
Blizz: (Strapped to the ceiling) *Sigh* GSlayer does not own Pokémon, he only owns us OCs. Can you let me down now?
Me: You broke my phone. So, no. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway, on to reviews.
DWA: I think you'll be Interested to see how I introduce him as a trainer. You know, if you were to add an M between W and A, your penname initials would stand for Death Weapon Miester Academy.
Me: Ugh, I'm running out of animes to watch. Oh well, I guess I'll make due with Fruits Basket and Sgt. Frog.
Rin: Would you shut the hell up and get on with the story!
Rina: Seriously, your rambling is getting annoying.
Me: Hurtful! Arceus you three can be asses. On to the story.
Also, I forgot to mention, Rin has cyan eyes that fade to a bluish grey around the edges of his iris. And here's a description of Rina as well. She wears a white shirt with a red Reshiram pattern on the back and black pants with a blue Zekrom pattern on the right leg. She has platinum blond hair with a grey undertone. She also has crimson red eyes.
Chapter 3: Preparation (Part 2)
Time: September 16, 9:30 AM (POV Rin)
The week up to my birthday had been rather fast and uneventful as I went along, making preparations and modifying my stuff. But, today was my birthday, and I was going to relax and have fun. Mom had invited some of the family, and they would be arriving in a few hours, so I made the most of those few hours I had to myself.
I went about my normal morning routine, then just messed around on Xbox for a little bit. Rina and Blizz arrived around eleven, about an hour ahead of everyone else. Seeing as it was still early, we decided to go out and spar. Like usual, it was me versus both of them. I'm pretty sure, that if Rina was a Pokémon, she and Blizz would make one hell of a tag team.
We sparred for about an hour, then we went inside and relaxed for a bit. After a few minutes, my grandparents arrived. It was both of my dad's parents and mom's mother. Her father had passed away a year after she was born. It was kind of awkward with my grandparents on my father's side, seeing as they didn't speak English. Blizz and my father were really the only Pokémon that I knew that spoke English. My aunt and uncle arrived next along with my cousins. They were on my mother's side, so they were human.
I was actually surprised when my cousins arrived. Mostly because last I heard, they were over in Sinnoh, taking on the league over there. I didn't notice them arrive until the older one snuck up behind me and put me into a loose headlock.
"How's my favorite little cousin?" She asked as I slipped out of her grasp.
"Yes, how are you Rin?" Said the younger one as she came up and stood beside her sister.
"Lacy! Leah! It's great to see you!" I exclaimed as I hugged both of them. "I've been doing great!" I replied as I released them.
"That's good" they said in unison.
"So, how's Sinnoh?" I questioned them.
"It's a little different, not quite as cold" the Leah, the younger one replied.
"Yeah, and the people there are nice for the most part" Lacy continued. "Though I don't think they're too fond about hybrids."
"What makes you say that?" I asked
"Well, we overheard a group of people talking about 'how hybrids are abominations' and such." Leah replied again.
"I guess some people just won't accept the fact that we exist." I sighed.
"Alright, enough of that, it's your birthday! You're supposed to enjoy it!" Rina chipped in.
"Yeah, your right lets-" I was cut off when my mom called to me across the room.
"Rin, honey, could you come here for a moment?" She asked.
"What's up?" I asked once I got over to her.
"Well, yesterday, when I was cleaning up, I found this!" she replied, holding out my old electric guitar. "I was hoping you could play us a song."
"Wow, I haven't seen this thing in a while" I said as I took it and tested the notes. "Hmm, I need to tune it first, but yeah, I'll play a song." Luckily I still had the amp for it.
"Alright, I'll leave you to it then" and with that, she went off to the kitchen.
"Rina! Blizz!" I called
"What's up birthday boy?" Rina asked, with Blizz right behind her.
"You girls wanna go get your stuff?" I said holding up my guitar.
"Ha, that sounds like fun!" Blizz exclaimed. A few years ago, we had decided to start a little band, so Rina and I learned to play guitar while Blizz learned to play the drums. I played the lead guitar while Rina played the bass. But, we didn't really get that far with it.
"Alright, where should we set up?" Rina asked.
"Outside on the patio." I replied
"Cool, we'll be back in a bit" With that, they ran back to their house to get their equipment, while I tuned my guitar.
By the time we finished, it was time for dinner. After we all ate and had cake, I opened my presents. Mom and dad got me trainer supplies while everyone else got me money. My family never got each other actual gifts for birthdays, we all got cards with money. We would go all out on Christmas for gifts though. It was just an unofficial family rule. This year though, mom and dad made an exception, seeing as I would be going out on my journey.
Just then, there was a knock at the door and I got up and answered it.
"Oh, hello Professor Juniper!" I greeted her as I let her in.
"Hello Rin! Happy birthday!" She replied.
"Here, this is my present for you" She handed me a gift. I tore off the rapping and opened the box. Inside was a Pokédex, a Pokégear, a trainer card, and a Pokéball.
"Inside that Pokéball is your starter. Rina, I have one for you too." She said as she pulled another from her pocket and tossed it to Rina. We both opened them to see what our starters were. We were surprised to find that we both got snivys.
"Those two have been best friends since they were hatchlings. It's damn near impossible for one to go five minutes without the other one, so I thought since you guys are going on a journey together, they could be your starters and they wouldn't have to be separated." Juniper explained. Rina and I simply nodded.
"Hello there little ones. What's your names?" I asked them.
"I'm Asuna!" Mine replied. "And I'm Kirito!" Rina's continued.
"Well, Asuna, Kirito, do you guys want to go on a journey with Rina and me?" I asked, smiling.
"That sounds like fun!" Kirito exclaimed.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Asuna continued.
"Haha, alright, we'll be heading out tomorrow, so you'll have time to get to use to us." I laughed.
"Thank you so much Professor. This means a lot to me." I said turning to her.
"No problem." She replied.
"Oh, Rin I'm so happy for you!" Mom cheered, hugging me.
"Thanks mom. Well I said I'd play you a song so I will. Everyone if you'd please, follow me." With that, I lead them out to where Rina and Blizz set up. We took our places and played a few test notes on our instruments, then we started. We actually decided to play a couple songs, I'd sing one, while Rina sang the other. My song was first.
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep?
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
On this bed I lay
Losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Was it all too much
Or just not enough
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I will not die, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
Next was Rina's song. Blizz did the backup vocals for her.
Now I will tell you what I've done for you -
50 thousand tears I've cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won't hear me (going under)
Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies.
(So I don't know what's real)
So I don't know what's real and what's not (don't know what's real and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I...
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away)
I won't be broken again (again)
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under (going under)
I'm going under (drowning in you)
I'm going under
Afterwards, there was a lot of cheering and whistling. Some people heard and they came by to listen as well.
"I think they want an encore. What do you say Rina?" I asked.
"I say, let's give them what they want!" With that we started off again with a different song. (Rina's lines are marked by parenthesis and all of them sing chorus.)
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
(Fallin' off the edge today)
I am just a man
Not superhuman
(I'm not superhuman)
Someone save me from the hate
It's just another war
Just another family torn
(Falling from my faith today)
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live
[Chorus:]
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me (just in time)
I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speakin' my mind today
(My voice will be heard today)
I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
(I'm not superhuman)
My voice will be heard today
It's just another war
Just another family torn
(My voice will be heard today)
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
[Chorus]
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
We're in the fight of our lives
(And we're not ready to die)
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I've got a hero (I've got a hero)
Livin' in me
I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
(I will be ready to die)
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
[Chorus]
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I need a hero
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time
The small crowd burst out cheering again while we all gave a bow and began packing up the equipment. By the time we had finished putting it away, it was 11:30 PM, so we went to bed and awaited tomorrow, when I would finally start my journey.
Time: 10 AM 9/17/12 (POV Rina)
We waited patiently outside Rin's house while he got ready. Well, I waited patiently, Blizz had started pacing and shouted at Rin to hurry up. I couldn't help but smile at the impatient jackal as she shouted at him again.
"Hurry your ass up!" She yelled.
"Hold on for a minute!" He yelled out his window.
A minute later he came out the front door in his human form. It was actually one of his illusions that he used when he was out in public. His human form was a bit different from his other illusions though. Unlike with his other illusions, where if he was touched, the illusion was broken, with this one, it would only break if he was subjugated to large amounts of stress or pain.
In his human form, he had a somewhat narrow face with shoulder length black hair with blue streaks. He wore a black spandex shirt with a dark blue over shirt and faded blue carpenter jeans and black skater shoes. He had a grey messenger bag slung over his shoulder with a few Pokéballs attached to it, Asuna's included. Said snake was sitting on his shoulder smiling.
"Alright, I'm all set." He stated, walking up to us.
"About freaking time!" Blizz exclaimed.
"Aren't people going to get confused when you show them your trainer card?" I asked.
"Actually no. Mom had Professor Juniper put a picture of me in both my forms on it. See?" He said as he pulled it out and showed it to us.
"Alright, enough chatting, let's get going!" He continued as he turned to the road and started walking, Blizz and I walking beside him.
The trip to Floccesy Town was rather uneventful. Just the occasional wild Pokémon, none too interesting. We made it there around five and checked ourselves into the Pokémon center, giving the nurse our snivys to get healed. We'd be staying there for the night then continuing on to the next town in the morning.
Aaand done! Sorry about the long wait for this chapter and the sucky ending! But I was lacking the motivation to write, and I wanted to get this to you guys soon. The next chapter will be much more entertaining, I promise.
Anyway, R&R!
