What is your favorite regional rodent? Mine is Furret, because they are cute. Why am I saying this here instead of the off topic segment? Well..


I said nothing more for the rest of the day. I did not feel good all of sudden after I heard my trainer talking and I understood his words. But, at the morning, I have decided to talk with the one controlling my body.


Chapter 7 - Two become one part 2 - Truth? Lie? Why?


I woke up at the same time as the guy on my body, I see what he sees and him opening his eyes made me see the light and that awakened me.

"I was actually hoping that I would wake up human, on my bed and this all would just be a dream." The guy said with my voice. "Are you still there?"

I let out a sigh and said. "Yeah, I'm…"

"Do you feel regret?"

"Excuse me?" I asked surprised at the sudden question.

"You got silent after saying you manage to understand that boy. I kept asking questions, but you said nothing. Actually, can we even considere you communicating as saying?"

"I don't know… for both questions…" I told him with little mood. "I never understood anything he ever said until yesterday. All that I knew about his thoughts, I learnt from others."

"Others?"

"Yeah. John's Alakazam, Firi, can understand human language. He is an intelligent guy. He is the one who told us the name John and his brother gave us." I told him.

"Oh! That is interesting." He said surprised. "Wait…" The guy suddenly said and tried to look at my… his… our, I don't know, crotch. "Are you a male or female?"

"What the-!? Of course I'm male! I even have a mark uncomfortably next to my ass to prove!" (*) I stated, taken back by the question and forgetting about the situation we were in.

"Well, John had told me you were female, but his brother called you male." The possessor said surprised at my reaction to the question.

"You are Damien, aren't you?" I asked. It probably was obvious if I were to blame that egg and how it was the last thing that I record happening before we started sharing my body, but I wasn't sure.

"Yes, I am. And you are the Torchic of John's bother."

"You're right about that." I confirmed Damien.

"Of course. I had figured it out after noticing we are on his bedroom and from your reaction seeing him on the floor." Oh!

"You're smart, aren't you?" I said surprised. "You also were the one who figured we were on the same body."

"I take my time to understand situations and analyze them. I don't use to just jump into action, unless it is effective, like kicking you yesterday." Don't mention that. "So in someway, I'm smart."

"I can also see you're a very humble person." I commented, and I think he snorted at it. "So, Mister I Am Very Smart, what can you presume that have happened considering what we currently know."

"Don't call me that. And I would like more time to be certain. But, so far, I believe we are sharing part of our knowledge. Like how I'm currently saying this like a Torchic-"

"I can confirm you're talking like a Pokemon."

"... And how you managed to understand English."

"What is English?" I asked.

"For short, a code." He answered and got quiet for a moment. "Maybe we could try to teach each other about humans and Pokemon, if we don't separate soon of course."

"Heh. Could be fun." I would have shrug if I could.

"But… For now… I want to find John." Damien stated. "We are friends, so I trust him. Maybe I can communicate with him if I try using mimic."

"About him… why are you his friend? Aren't you too normal for him?" I asked curious.

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you two opposites?"

"We aren't opposites."

"Really? Because I have never seen you acting like him." I am starting to think that this guy doesn't know the truth about John. "Before you go talk with him, could you go check Firi first? I want you to ask him a question, so I can actually know something that you probably don't know."

"What are you talking about?"

"The true nature of my trainer's brother."


Damien went outside and found the Alakazam there, focusing in his hobby of eavesdrop on people's secrets while looking like he is actually meditating. He is not the stereotype of wise and purity.

"Be careful to not annoy him, or things could go rough." I instructed Damien.

"What do you mean? He always have been a chill Pokemon next to me. Is that because you are a prankster?" Damien asked whispering.

"He is the one who made me a prankster."

"What!?"

"Just ask him." I said and Damien walked toward the yellow Pokemon.

"Uhh. Hey, Firi…" He said shy. Probably not ready to actually talk with a Pokemon.

"I'm busy kid. Go away." Firi was annoyed already by Damien's presence.

"Your voice sounds much deeper than I first thought it would be." Damien murmured. "I… want to ask you something."

"Ask one thing and then leave asap."

"You're also much rude." He murmured again and looked at Firi. "My question is…"

"Why do I have to ruin the life of my trainer?" I finally told Damien what he should ask

"Why… Why do I have to ruin the life of my trainer?" Damien asked, possibly surprised at the question I've requested.

"Huh…" Firi then opened his eyes and looked at us. "Did you forget about his greed?"

"Greed?"

"Yes. Your trainer is has greed that will make you work forced. Free will would be gone very soon. At least with John, we can be free for real and release our chaotic needs." Oh boy.

"Chaotic needs!?" Damien asked as expected. Fortunately, Firi did not care enough to notice his surprise, just a question.

"I said I would only answer one question!" Firi then slapped our face and went back to his fake meditation.

"John's Pokemon are loyal to him because he let then cause chaos as long no one notices. Firi told me John want me to not hide my chaos, because that would make his brother leave me sooner. John himself, is the best of the persons. But I did not care. The things Firi told me made me respect John no matter what he does and hate his brother. But… I could finally hear what that human actually think and… I don't really know if those were fake words of someone planning to use me, or of someone who I know nothing of. I don't know who said the truth and who lied. But, if John is lying, then why?"

Damien was silent while I was speaking to him. He stayed silent after, maybe it was too much for him to take in. Even more… now that he is starting to doubt of his own best friend.

"HHHHEEEEEEYYYY!" What the- "So, is this the house the Torchic refuges in?" Whoever said the first line added. He then appeared over the wall of the house. It was a Furret.

"Are you-!?" Damien gasped surprised looking at the guy I have never seen before.


(*) - Yes. For some reason, male Torchic have a small dot next to their rear. It is weird and I don't know why.


Chapter seven is finally finished. A little late, but still on time.

On this chapter, I have decided to show the difference on Damien's and Nier's personalities.

Damien, being the smart and objective guy that he is, decided to accept the situation quickly in order to get any control of the situation.

Nier, the rebel, saw himself forced to accept that he is trapped inside the mind of Damien. He is not doing well and is starting to feel guilty as Damien starts to uncover the truth.

I don't know if I showed it well enough on the this chapter. I hope I grow more confident on the future, as well as improving my writing.

Off topic: Can someone make a Photoshop of the Thanos' snap, but with Masuda's face on Thanos, then make the people dying having Pokemon faces? Peter would have Kricketune's face and he would say. "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so *Kricketune's cry*."
