A/N: Shaga is certainly old enough to be her dad… in that case; his name will be Sherwood, which is a badass name.
EDIT: His new name will now be Sherwood Drayden.
Chapter 7
"I'm in jail," I wrote. "I've spent the night. My dad has been trying to get me out since yesterday afternoon. Triumph, Sunny, Night and the puppies are staring at me, with sad looks on their faces. I'm sad too. I was arrested for attempted murder when I was just defending myself. What a cruel world we have. I've been biting my nails down as far as they can go. They've been bleeding. I'm a monster. I feel like one anyway. I don't know when I can return to the herd…," I stopped writing and sighed.
"René." I didn't feel like looking up. "René." I looked up.
"Dad…," I whispered loudly, "have they dropped the charges? Am I bailed out?"
"Yes and yes," he smiled. "They've reviewed it and from their understanding, it was just self-defence. No different than shooting someone."
"That's true…," I sighed. "I said if I saw him again, I'd kill him," I shuddered. "I'm a mons–"
"No, you're not," he sighed and unlocked the cell door. I gathered my notebook and walked out of the cell; my Pokémon were following suit.
"Thank you, Dad," I hugged him tightly. "I don't know what I would do without you. You're the best Dad I could have," I smiled and kissed him, on the cheek.
"You're welcome. You light up my day when you smile, you know that?"
"I figured," I continued to smile.
"So, what's in your notebook?" he asked. "I remember giving you that a long time ago."
"I'll let you read it, though I prefer to keep it to myself."
"All right." I handed it to him and he began to read. "Day 1," he mumbled aloud. We walked out of the station, unbeknownst to him, but I guided him out. I led him to a bench and we sat down. It took him about five minutes and he finished. "Very well. I think you're a great writer. Keep it up." He noticed the spot on my neck. "For Arceus's sake, where'd you get a hickey?" I blushed.
"My new friend gave it to me. It bled for some reason. I'm surprised you think it's a hickey. She umm… bit my neck." I blushed. Was I becoming a lesbian? "She really likes me, see and I really like her," I gulped, hard. "Please don't think less of me, Daddy…"
"Ô, ma Cherie, now why would you think that I would think of you less?"
"Because not everyone likes homosexuals, Daddy…"
"René, I love you not matter what your orientation is. You're my daughter and you're a grown woman. You have the right to make your own choices."
"You're ri–"
"René! I heard what happened!" Macy ran up to me. "I heard on the news that you were arrested!" she sat down on the bench next to me. "Oh! Who's this?"
"This is my daddy," I smiled. "Dad, this is my new friend, or best friend I should say, Macy." The two stood up.
"It's a pleasure," Dad smiled.
"Nice to meet you," Macy smiled and the two shook hands. "René says you have a Munna? Well, I've been wanting to study them for a while now." Dad smiled and got a pokeball from his belt. He enlarged it and a beam appeared, materialising the small, floating pink tapir.
"You can keep it if you want, if that's what you really intend. You see, I've been wanting to become a dragon type trainer. I hope to quit being a PI and become a gym leader someday. I'm not getting my hopes up, though."
"You really want me to have it? I'd love to!" Macy grinned. "Thank you so much!" she hugged him.
"You're welcome," he smiled. Night neighed and looked up at the sky. That gigantic black cloud was back again. "What's going on?"
"Dad, you may not believe this, but I think that's Zekrom's thundercloud. I know they're just found in legend, but I really think they are there. We can't see them because they don't appear to us very often," I commented.
"I agree," Macy nodded. "I think it truly is Zekrom." Dad looked at me and nodded.
"I believe you. I think it's Zekrom too. I saw Zekrom when I was a child. I didn't feel like saying anything because I knew no one would believe me. As René said, they are legendaries but they don't appear very often. I figured that no one would believe me." We continued to look up. A huge bolt of lightning hit Night again. He neighed violently. We ran and hid behind a tree. The ground was wet and we got shocked too. We all passed out, much to no one's knowledge…
