Uncontrollable Changes
Chapter 6
Mental Breakdown
After realizing I was in Olivine City I then realized that we have about 2 weeks to spare before the ferry to Vermilion City leaves, which means we have 2 weeks of ABSOLUTLY NOTHING… or so I thought. Violet used her Pokédex to scan our levels (Under Seanne's Recommendation) and having the OCD nature that runs in the family, decided to make the Marriah and Velo the same level and Rita and I.
To make a long and boring story short, Marriah was trained first, she learned Thunder Wave, and that's it. Velo on the other hand… not so well. His first battle ever and he went from lethargic and lazy so OMG WTF ballistic ape-shit and utterly massacred 3 trainers teams, all of which of his own accord, with the help of his newly learned Fire Spin. Marriah Evolved trying to calm the MPD psychopath down.
After a long a brutal Pep-talk from Seanne (which seems to be her job nowadays) and few reassuring gestures from the psychopathic fox himself, Violet spent the rest of the 2 weeks learning to control "Psycho Velo" as I call him. That resulted in Violet needing 5 new pairs of clothes cause her old ones were too singed(sp?). She got control of him finally after me throwing a few Dragon-Danced Rock Slides his way.
So yep, all is right with our little dysfunctional group here. My group is still distant from Seanne's group, but they never struck me as the most social bunch around.
Back to present day:
Violet was buying the tickets needed for boarding the ferry, there was a huge crowd, but we got in line, right now only me and Mach(Seanne's Machop incase you forgot) were out of our Pokéballs. The crowd only seemed to grow as we were allowed to enter. I was following Violet closely, or at least, it was Violet wasn't it? HOLY CRAP IM LOST!
Violet's P.O.V.
"Ugh I thought we'd never get out of that crowd!" I exclaimed happily, leaning on the railing near the back of the ferry.
"Yea, that was an insane crowd wasn't it?" Seanne paused for a moment and looked down at Mach who made a few signs with his hands. I need to remember to ask Seanne of she could teach me Sign Language one of these days. "Vi, Lyles missing!" she suddenly exclaimed
I looked around frantically before shocking realization hit me "LYLE!" I screamed back at the slowly receding dock to see the little guy see me and run toward the dock. The boat had already left, "I'm sorry Lyle," I said quietly watching the small Pokémon break down into tears.
Lyle's P.O.V.
I tried to fight back the tears but the kept on coming, for the first time since my rebirth; I was without my mother.
It finally hit me, she was my mother now, and I was her child. Her baby child who just watched her slowly slip out of his reach. A stabbing pain entered my head all the sudden. The pain got worse and worse as I grabbed my head, fell to my knees, and let out an earsplitting scream.
I found myself standing in complete darkness. I looked around and found a mirror. I quickly ran up to it and found that I was in my human form. This was short lived because a flash of light revealed a baby Larvitar in the mirror looking up to me. He reached up and I reached down, but as soon as I touch the mirror it shattered, destroying the image and creating a twister of broken glass surrounding and cutting deep into my skin.
The glass swirled faster, showing no signs of letting up. It moved up and down gouging deeper and deeper into my skin. I wanted it to stop, I wanted it to end, and most importantly I wanted my Mom. The pain was too intense to shake the thought off and similar thoughts kept on coming. Thoughts that only a baby or young child would think. But that's just what I was… a baby.
Just as I thought that the glass stopped and the mirror was there again this time I was the Larvitar and the human in the picture morphed to match my image
Anonymous Trainer's P.O.V.
I heard a scream nearby coming from the docks. I ran inside quickly with my friend and partner, Jolt the Jolteon, nearby. I heard the screaming stop, but Jolt continued running ahead so I followed him. What I found stunned me to say the least. I ran over to pick up a small Larvitar abandoned at the dock. He looked tormented and was whimpering quietly.
"Cyan! Wait up will you" I heard a voice call from behind me. I turned back to see my childhood friend, Grey, and her faithful Eevee partner, Max, running toward me, the further of the two looking aggravated. That is until she spied the tormented Pokémon in my arms. "Were going to the Pokémon Center" was all she said before she ran off; this time, me following her.
Nurse Joy checked the Pokémon's condition. It wasn't hurt physically but it was under extreme mental stress. I walked to the lobby and set the small Pokémon down. Max and Jolt ran over to the Larvitar to attempt to calm it
Lyle's P.O.V.
Too new Pokémon came up to me, out of instinct I backed up, away from the new possible threat. "You ok kid?" the Jolteon asked. "What happened?" the Eevee asked
I paused and stopped to remember the preceding events, but the events were fuzzy. "I remember a crowd and a lot of pain, but that's it," I said with my hand on my head. "Wait, I remember something else. Loneliness and… and" I stopped and started to whimper
"And what else?" the Jolteon asked
"A-and I remember seeing my mom leave o-on the boat," I broke out in full tears, not wanting to relive the experience.
The girl human seemed to notice my distress and brought me to her lap. "It's ok little one," she whispered calmly. "We'll find your trainer don't you worry." I looked around and knew I was in good hands until I found my mom again.
Violet's P.O.V.
"I'M A TERRIBLE TRAINER!" I screamed for the 50th time that day, Seanne and I had just arrived in Vermilion City and I was still a wreak. "Seanne, use Nate, teleport us back, I need to find Lyle!" I pleaded to the girl with pale blonde hair.
"Then we need to get to the Pokémon Center. Nate's to tired teleport THAT far of a distance, especially after all of those forced battles on the boat." She explained apologetically.
My mood instantly lifted. I grabbed her hand as we High-Tailed it to the Pokémon Center. 'I'm on my way Lyle hang on' I thought as the center came into view.
Lyle's P.O.V. (again)
"Ok Little Guy, lets go find your trainer!" the Male human, who I found out was named Cyan, said enthusiastically.
Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light in front of us. I hid behind Jolt as he and Max took defensive stances. The flash cleared and I saw 2 girls followed by a Machop, a Chikorita, and a Natu lying exhausted on one of the girl's shoulders.
Tears of joy came to my eyes. "Momma!"
Rita's P.O.V.
Of all the things I didn't expect to see when we first teleported, seeing Lyle was one of them. But he was acting odd. Since I've known him some odd 2 months ago, he'd always refer to Violet as either "Violet" or "Vi" and always acted like an interim Big-Brother. But now he was acting different. First of all he was crying, which would be weird as is, but he called Violet "mom" and clung to her like an insecure child.
She set Lyle down and he came over to talk to me. "Hey big-sis!" he exclaimed happily.
I stepped back in both confusion and fear. "Ly-lyle, what happened to you, you're acting different?"
"He had a mental breakdown when he was separated from us," Mach said walking up to us. "Being in the position he was in most likely warped his mind and left him as an insecure child."
"What are you two talking about, I've always acted this way." Lyle said sounding confused. "Do I sound dumber cause I'm still as smart as I was?"
"Y-Yea that's it Lyle, its probably because we haven't seen you in a while." I managed to stammer out. 'I have to get the old Lyle back, the Lyle I fell in love with.' I thought before returning my attention to the humans.
