Chapter 9: Weak part 5
Finally! we're back! time to finally figure out the aftermath of the battle!
nothing else to say really, just enjoy and keep a tissue handy for the bashing that's to commence!
And on a much happier note, make sure to check out my profile to vote for one of the two stories that I'll be starting after this arc (during the 2-3 day hiatus)
Lucy tumbled through the earth as the purple shockwave passed through her body. Bonnie followed suit, rolling like a rag doll.
Rai and Jessie stared at the black smoke surrounding the explosion. They kept their forms for the time being until they finally knew that whatever is inside that smoke is unconscious, and hopefully not dead.
"Mind clearing the smoke?" Rai asked Jessie.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Jessie stuck her tongue out, giving a playful face.
"I'm not sure if i even know you, where was the Kirlia that I saw moments ago?" Rai smirked.
"A little help here master!" Lucy cried out. The duo turned their direction to the Riolu hopelessly lifting the unconscious Combusken.
They snickered at the Rilou's attempt, and with a wave of Jessie's hand, Bonnie was lifted to the air, encased in a blue aura.
"I'll take it from here Jessie, check on those three while we go back to the pokemon center." Rai said as Bonnie was transferred to Rai's hold.
With a simple nod, Jessie approached the swirling smoke as Rai and the others returned to their inn for the night.
Jessie started to examine her body as she motioned towards them.
She felt her new dress flow in the lone wind, her figure had gotten more...shapelier.
Her still-developing breasts had grown exponentially after her transformation, becoming rounded and plump.
They towered over the topaz horn which was in the middle of them. Its tip was barely visible, reaching a mere two inches for others to see, whilst the rest was consumed by the white beach balls.
Her hips had grown wider, to child-bearing size. She suddenly realised that she now swayed a little every time she moved, as if by instinct.
She reached down to feel her bottom, and boy, they were squishy. They were perfectly rounded, and they jiggled a bit when she intentionally slapped it.
'I look...
'...'
'SEXY!'
Had she snapped out of her stupor, she would have noticed that the smoke finally cleared, leaving the results of Rai's powered aura sphere.
She refocused her attention on the task she was given and observed the casualties.
Glacewind was hanging from a bush, her kimono was torn and bruises along with cuts littered her snow white skin. Her mask had cracked open, revealing her amethyst face. This was the only part of her body that was not harmed, due to her mask protecting her from the brunt of the damage.
Ruby was draped across the stony earth, she looked like she had suffered little damage, but under her fur one would realise that she was almost black all over, due to being the victim of multiple blue asteroids that struck her during their fight. Dried blood form the cuts she received from Jessie's magical leaf matted her pinkish fur, leaving quite a grisly sight.
Tracy was an absolute mess.
Her twirly hair's foundation was completely ruined, leaving her with straight hair which covered her face. Parts of her dress were singed off from the attack, some where in quite...provocative places. Tracy's back faced the floor, a minuscule stream of blood was flowing from it. Her front faced the moonlit sky, too bad her hair was covering her face. Upon closer inspection, Jessie realised that she was alive, albeit barely. Tracy's chest lifted and descended slowly, indicating that she was breathing.
'Thank Arceus that we didn't kill her.'
The only problem now was to find a way prove that Tracy was still alive.
She grabbed Tracy's velvet ribbon, parts of it had been singed off.
She then closed her eyes and focused her powers onto said ribbon, imprinting a small message, along with an image of Tracy in her state.
'I guess that should work.' Jessie thought.
She turned away from the scene, content with her findings.
Immediately she stopped at a sudden voice invading her eardrums.
"This...isn't...over." Arose a weak voice from none other that Tracy.
"Oh, it is, hypocrite." Jessie retorted, using Tracy's speech against her.
"You're weak, like everyone else I've met, it's a shame that you couldn't even handle Rai's 'weak' pokemon."
God that felt so good to Jess.
Without anything else to say, Jessie teleported away, leaving specks of her pink aura on where she once stood.
Rai threw Bonnie over his shoulder as he and Lucy walked through the park, their direction towards the pokemon center.
"It's been quite a chaotic 2 days don't you think?" Rai chuckled.
"It sure has been, master." Lucy replied.
2 days ago, Rai finally allowed himself to be a trainer. 2 days after, he's 'caught' 2 pokemon, beaten an expert co-ordinator, and has evolved his Kirlia. If this much action can happen in 2 days, who knows how much fun he'll have over the course of the year.
"Jessie looked very beautiful when she evolved, don't you think master?"
"Yep, she sure did."
"I wonder if I'll get to look that beautiful when I evolve."
"Whatever you look like, I'll still accept you, no matter what."
Minutes passed by as Rai and Lucy walked to the center with Bonnie on Rai. The moon had risen during their battle and was now showering Sandgem Town with its serene rays. It was a clear night, there were no stars evident in the navy night sky. Everything felt rather peaceful, as if the events that happened a mere hours ago had been a distant memory.
Neither Rai nor Lucy spoke after their conversation. Their thoughts took over as blissful silence crept up on their ears.
'Bonnie...'
'Master...no...Rai...yes.'
'She's still not over her trainer...'
'Rai...He's one of my kind...'
'She still has doubts over me... yet she listened to my every word in the battle...'
'Rai...He's so nice...and so caring...'
'She hasn't really been the most friendly pokemon...'
'And when I hold him...'
'I doubt that this battle changes her thoughts towards me...'
'I feel his warmth...it's so relaxing...'
'I...'
'I...'
'I'm gonna have to do more to make her see me differently!'
'I'm gonna have to do more to make him see me differently!'
Jessie looked at the clock on top of the pink nurse's desk.
8:18PM
It had been roughly 2 hours since the battle, maybe even more. Jessie sat on one of the sofas littered around the entrance, awaiting her trainer's return.
She seemed to notice a potion and a small pile of bandages carefully hidden where two sofas met.
'I wonder if that is Rai's stuff that he used to heal Lucy last night.'
Immediately, she heard the click of the glass door of the pokemon center. Behind it was Rai, Lucy was holding his hand, whilst Bonnie was on his left shoulder, his bag was on his right.
Lucy was still wearing Rai's cloak, which gracefully slid along the floor, bride-style.
Rai reached around his pockets to retrieve a certain pokeball, upon finding it, he tapped it on Bonnie's head and she was sucked inside the red and white prison once more.
Rai approached the pink nurse, who was peacefully dozing off on the desk, a small puddle forming near her mouth.
"Uhh, miss?"
"Hmm!"
"Hello."
"Welcome...pokemon center...*mumble*-pokemon healed?" The nurse asked, still sleeping.
"Yes."
"Put...balls...boo-boo machine..." She mumbled in her sleep.
Sighing, Rai placed Bonnie's pokeball on the healing machine.
"How do I turn it on?"
"Press...Red plus...boo-boo goes bye-bye."
Rai pressed the red cross on the machine. In an instant, Bonnie's pokeball started glowing green. After a few minutes, an all too familiar sound is played, indicating that the machine has completed its operation.
"Umm...thanks..I guess." Rai said as he retrieved Bonnie's ball. "Can we stay for the night?"
The pink nurse slowly reached for something below the desk, before slamming it infront of Rai, who was amazed that she could do such a feat blind.
"Take 10-5..." Her grip eased on the same keys that Rai took yesterday.
"Thanks."
"You're *mumble*-come"
Rai took the keys and motioned towards the same door he slept in yesterday, which Jessie and Lucy following suit.
"Is Tracy alive?"
Jess presented him her singed ribbon whilst smiling. Rai took it from her.
Suddenly an image flashed in his mind, it depicted at motionless Tracy with her pokemon.
A small voice made it's way to his eardrums.
"Don't worry, she's alive...barely." It sounded like Jessie.
After the message Rai immediately regained his senses to see Jessie, still smiling.
"Good work." Rai said as he placed the ribbon on his trouser pocket
Once everyone had gotten inside, Rai released Bonnie from her pokeball.
Bonnie looked around her, confused. She immediately realised that they were in the pokemon center.
Putting two and two together, she assumed that they lost the fight.
She glared at Rai, who frowned immediately at her actions.
"Hey buddy-"
Bonnie stormed out of the room, heading for the back door. Rai and co. followed suit.
Bonnie opened the door to the outside world and began to sprint.
"Hey! What's wrong with you!" Rai exclaimed.
"WE LOST." Bonnie replied.
"We di-"
"I KNEW THAT WE'D LOSE BECAUSE OF YOU!"
"But we-"
"YOU CHALLENGE ONE OF THE TOP CO-ORDINATORS AND YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD WIN?!"
"Bonnie, list-"
"DON'T CALL ME BONNIE! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL ME BONNIE!"
Rai stopped his attempts to communicate to her, and allowed her to continue her temper tantrum.
"YOU'RE JUST A KID, NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE! YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN PROVE A POINT BUT YOU CAN'T! YOU'RE USELESS!"
Rai stared at Bonnie with a blank expression. He felt her stab him again and again with her words as Lucy and Jessie stare in shock.
"Bonnie! Master's trying to say-"
"SHUT UP! YOU MUTT!"
Lucy recoiled back in shock at the term Bonnie called her.
"Let her finish, Lucy." Rai said, emotionless, yet dying inside at the same time.
"YOU'RE WEAK! WEAKER THAN ME! YOU'RE USELESS."
Rai stared her in the eyes.
"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! YOU CAN'T EVEN PROVE YOUR POINT TO MY OWN TRAINER BECAUSE OF HOW BAD OF A TRAINER YOU ARE."
'I thought she never cared whether I proved my point or not...' Rai thought.
"TELL ME, HOW MUCH TRAINING HAVE YOU HAD WITH THAT MUTT OVER THERE?"
"None."
"HOW MUCH TRAINING HAVE YOU HAD WITH ME?"
"A littl-"
"BARELY ANY, AND YOU EXPECT ME TO WIN AGAINST MY OWN TRAINER, WHO'S WON ALL THE RIBBONS IN HOENN?"
"MY TRAINER WHO, DESPITE MY WARNINGS, YOU DECIDED TO CHALLENGE BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO PROVE A STUPID POINT."
"A POINT THAT YOU COULDN'T EVEN PROVE."
"..." The trio stared at Bonnie in silence.
"AND NOW SHE'S PROBABLY GONE, AND MY ONLY CHANCE TO RETURN TO HER IS RUINED BECAUSE OF YOU!"
And with that, Rai's heart was completely ripped apart.
'She...never cared about me.'
Lucy and Jessica glared daggers at Bonnie, ready to rip her to shreds.
They looked at Rai, hoping that he'd share their emotions.
What they saw was a saddening sight.
Rai drooped his head down low, a lone tear streamed down his cheek.
Bonnie snarled at Rai, not giving a single care about his emotions.
Rai slowly approached Bonnie.
Bonnie readied her stance, predicting that he will start attacking.
Rai took his hand into his pocket and removed a certain singed purple ribbon from it.
Bonnie's eyes widened, her pupils shrunk. She thought that he had done the inevitable.
'He...KILLED HER?!'
"YOU...YOU KI-"
"Won the battle."
Bonnie flinched at his words. They seemed impossible to believe.
"YOU DID-"
"Proved my point."
She didn't know what to feel at the sudden revelation. Feelings of shock clashed with her anger.
"Y-YOU-"
"Defeated Tracy, with just Jess."
"TH-THAT CAN'T-"
"Be?"
"I beat them alone with Jess." Rai gave no mercy to his words as he gave punishing blows.
Rai stared at Bonnie again, his bloodshot eyes locked with hers.
He held out her pokeball in front of her.
"You were the one who was knocked out. YOU are weak."
Oh, the satisfaction that Lucy and Jess felt was amazing.
"And you have the gall to say that to me? The weakling who defeated your Tracy?"
Bonnie had her mouth agape, unable to process the things that Rai has said.
She was trembling, realising that she lashed out at him for no reason.
She was now at his mercy, vulnerable at his words.
FINISH HER!
"I guess...
"..."
"..."
"you are just an ugly chicken after all." Was all Bonnie heard before she was returned to her spherical cage.
She felt her heart get ripped to pieces by her 'trainer' as she had done with his.
Darkness consumed her.
She felt like crying, she felt as though... she was alone for the first time in her life.
Sadness and depression consumed her body as she was trapped in the dark abyss of her cage.
Why did his words cut her so deep? why? why is she taking it so seriously?
She's made it clear to him that she just wants to return to her trainer.
But after all that's happened, she still had a small feeling deep down in the recesses of her brain.
Maybe...
Maybe he could treat her better.
Even after all that, all the retorts, the anti-social ness.
He still stayed by her side.
He has every right to say what he has done, after all that she's done to him.
But why is she so shocked at his words? She wants Tracy, not him, right?
right?
...
" I guess... I am just an ugly chicken after all..."
"..."
"Yes...just an ugly chicken...that's all..."
No words...
Just dem feels...
Arc is ending.
Next.
Chapter.
Stay tuned.
Bai.
