TEAM THUNDER
Episode 4: "More about the truth"
Aqua: So you're saying is that you were once a disciple, then became a son, then became a waiter then became a drunken Pokémon?
Flame: Wrong! What the heck…
Aqua: I'm sorry for not understanding it so well…
Flame: Okay, let me just tell you then.
(Flame told his story…)
When I was born, my parents left me. I was picked up by the master. I thought I was saved.
Well, I was, for a few years. But when his brother died, he became different. He started ordering us around. He asked us to get a stone that almost killed us. It made no sense. He just threw everything he asked us to get.
So, I left. Shock is just too scared to leave.
I roamed the road for a few months until Burn's father found me. I was grateful, but I didn't have to be nice.
I left one day thinking I became someone useless. I found a job here at Pewter City a couple of months later. But the building was attacked a few days ago, leaving it in ruins, as you see it now. And my… loved one died.
(Flame ended his story.
Glare: Is this loved one of yours… a lover perhaps?
Flame: Yes.
Shock: Who attacked this place?
Flame: I don't know. It was just too sudden. But I saw a Houndoom or something, with a Dragonair or something.
Shock: A houndoom? A houndoom attacked Glare and Burn just a few days ago…
Flame: Really?
Shock: Perhaps you were mentioning something about the Valley of Chikara?
Flame: Yes, how did you know?
Shock: How did you know?
Flame: It's been a talk around town… And hey, I asked the question first!
Shock: Master—
Flame: Oh, master ordered you? Hah! You still haven't detached yourself huh?
Shock: I am different from you, I don't question his order nor I see it as useless ones.
Flame: Whatever.
Aqua: Why don't you join us, Flame?
Glare: You are a fighter like Shock right?
Flame: Yes, but I don't want to search for that treasure anyways.
Shock: Ah, yes, who was that Houndoom aiming for?
Flame: Me.
Shock: Can't believe you're the one who is left.
Flame: Ha-ha, very funny. (With a not-laughing look) So, why did a houndoom attack those two fellows?
Shock: Talking about the same thing.
Flame: So, they want it too, huh?
Shock: Looks like it.
Flame: About that blue girl's offer there…
Aqua: I have a name!
Flame: Okay, what is it?
Aqua: Aqua.
Flame: Okay, bout her offer, I might take it.
Shock: What offer?
Flame: Bout joining you or something… Not because of that master… I just want to beat those Pokémons who killed Ceena (the Corsola).
Aqua: You're in-love with a water Pokémon?
Flame: Got a problem?
Aqua: No.
Flame: Good.
Shock: Anyways, I don't care if you join or not, but all I care is what is that treasure and why does someone as great as master wants it?
Flame: I'm saying is this is gonna be dangerous.
(So, Shock, Aqua, Burn, Glare and Flame (the Flareon) headed out Pewter City and headed to Cerulean City.)
(One night when they rest in some forest and Flame, Aqua and Glare were sleeping, Shock and Burn were talking…)
Shock: He seems different…
Burn: Who?
Shock: Flame…
Burn: Doesn't look different to me. He seems to be the cold Flame I know…
Shock: He wasn't cold. And in fact, he loves Master. I just didn't know what happened. He wasn't like that.
Burn: Really?
Shock: Yes. He used to be the smiling guy, the funny man. And now… Maybe something happened that closed his heart.
Burn: The death of his lover can be the cause you know.
Shock: No. He is strong. And besides, you said he was cold when you met him and his lover just died a few days ago, there is something, something that happened to him…
