The Truth Revealed, Kyo's Past Remembered
While I was sleeping Shina was watching over me to make sure the redhead she saw catch me when I fell didn't try to capture me. "Shina, what happened to me?" were the the first words I said when I awoke. "You fainted in front of the entire town and every trainer wanted to catch you. Kyo you scared me when you fainted, I thought you had died in front of me." "Calm down Shina, I'm ok now but I want to ask you if anything happened to you while I was being tortured?" "No Kyo, Lee stepped in to protect me from any of the pokemon that tried to approach me." "Oh, I should thank him if I ever get a chance to see him again. Someone's coming Shina we should stop talking now!" After I spoke those words a redheaded girl and what seemed to be her sisters walked through the door. "See I told you that the pokemon that collapsed wasn't one you would like" said the redhead to her sisters. "True baby sister but the other one is simply adorable!" "Stop calling me baby sister!" yelled the redhead as her face turned the color of her hair.
While watching the little display of the sisters and hearing what they said I immediately sat up and put Shina behind me making sure that only her head was in view. "Look" cried one of the older sisters "that one is protecting the other as if it was the last thing on earth that mattered to it." When the sisters saw this they immediately stopped fighting. When one came closer to me and Shina I started to focus the little energy I had into the palm of my paw to create a small aura sphere. With the aura sphere made I held it up as a warning to the women to back away from me and Shina. "Calm down, we aren't going to hurt you" said the redhead as she inched closer to me and Shina. When the redhead got to about five feet from the bed where I lay, I felt the presence of truth to the words she spoke and lowered my arm dissipating the aura sphere I made.
"My name is Misty and I can guarantee you that nobody will attempt to harm either of you." "Where are you two from? Because I know that your species of pokemon doesn't appear around Cerulean city." "Misty you know pokemon can't talk" yelled one of her sisters as Misty inched closer to me and Shina. "I know that but we have a map of the world and they could point at the region they come from." When Misty got to the edge of the bed there was a knock at the door and the sound of someone walking in. When the door had opened I clumsily got up and grabbed Misty in my arms with my aura sphere next to her head and then turned out the lights with the power of aura as the girl's sisters ran out of the room. "Hello, Misty are you there?" cried a voice and an old man and a younger man walked through the doorway. When they saw what was happening in the room they stopped in their tracks.
"Calm down" spoke the old man as the younger man moved to the side and turned the lights on. "Gary be careful it's probably confused and thinks both of them are in danger" "Right gramps" replied the younger man as he attempted to get to the opposite side of the bed. "Easy now, no one's going to hurt you. We just want our friend back unhurt, so can you please let go of her?" said the young man in a soothing voice as he got to the bed. When he got there Shina got up from behind me and touched my arm and while I looked at her she shook her head telling me no. When Shina did this I understood and let go of Misty and put Shina behind me again. "Thank you Professor Oak for the help." When Misty spoke his name I felt as if we had met before and I started to wonder if since becoming a pokemon I was beginning to forget what my human life was like.
While Oak and Misty were talking Gary went up to me and as I contemplated what he was doing he offered me a poffin which I grabbed from his hands and devoured in about three bites. "He seems to be starved half to death gramps" said Gary as he took out another poffin and handed it to me. "Yes, he does seem that way though I wonder where his trainer is since he is wearing a cloak that someone gave to him." "Yeah I wonder that too, but lucario's aren't common around Kanto grandpa, you normally see them in Sinnoh so I'm guessing that this one was stolen from his trainer along with the other one." "Yes I see, that does make sense Gary. But I do think I remember seeing a blackish lucario around Pallet town so we might be able to find his trainer there." "I'm coming too Professor Oak, I feel responsible for this pokemon since he was scared when he grabbed me." "Fine Misty you can come too."
With this being said Shina and I were put into a car and driven to Pallet town. While passing through Viridian city I felt as if I was in constant danger and Shina who felt my fear through the aura hugged me as we entered and left the city. When we got to Pallet town I felt as if I had come home and jumped out of the car and ran with Shina right behind me to the first area that I remembered, this tree was where I first met her. I was new to the town and had passed out because of hunger and she offered me some food. Who is this person I can't seem to remember? Her face has been haunting me since I escaped from the Team Rocket base. While I was lost in thought Shina caught up with me and asked "Kyo what's wrong you seem to be acting odd?" "I seem to remember this whole town but nothing else from my past except for the face of a woman that I can't name." "Kyo maybe the face is of someone important to your deceased trainer." "I understand what you mean but still I think I've been forgetting my past since we met." "Then maybe you were supposed to forget your past Kyo in order to move on to a newer happier life." "Your probably right Shina."
When Gary, Oak and Misty caught up the Professor suddenly gasped and said "I think I know where he belongs" he then grabbed my paw and dragged me to a house where a Mr Mime was sweeping the front porch. "Ms Ketchum guess who I found" yelled the Professor as he walked me up the steps. "Oh Professor Oak what brings you here, Aura is that really you?!" said the women who's face was plaguing my memory as she walked into view. "So you do know this lucario." "Yes I do, he belongs to my husband Kyo." When she spoke my name I suddenly remembered my past and as Shina and the others walked into the house I said "honey I'm back." "Kyo!! Is that really you?" "Yes it's me, I saw Ash and he has really grown since I left him with you as an infant." "But that's impossible you're supposed to be human now you've become like Aura." "Correction I was human." "But what happened to you? Don't tell me you performed another experiment again!" "No, I died shortly after becoming the Sinnoh pokemon league champion." "You died!! How did you die Kyo!" "Kyo you were human before we met how come you didn't tell me this?" "I didn't want to tell you because I had accepted the fact that I had become a pokemon and there might be no way for me to change back into a human Shina." "How did you come to inhabit the body of a pokemon Kyo if you don't mind me asking?" "Well Oak, I had just become the Sinnoh champion when I was attacked by a group of people and after I had defeated their pokemon I turned around after feeling a prick in my neck to see my pokemon dead and that's when I died. "That's it?!" cried Gary as he stared at me in awe. "You just died that easily Ms Ketchum always told stories about you to me saying that you were the hardest person to sneak up on." "True but remember I was only human and I made a mistake it happens to everyone at some point in your life trust me." When I said that everyone was staring at me flabbergasted as I just ruffled my head. "Yep that's the Kyo I married, he always had a knack for finding trouble but he always found someway to fix the problem he made." laughed Ms Ketchum as she started to to walk into the kitchen. "So can you tell me how did you come to inhabit the body of a pokemon Kyo like you were before Gary interrupted?"
"That I'm not going to tell anyone Oak least of all you." Why not me if I may ask?" "Because you will make some new discovery about what I told you and I'll probably be put in a pokemon lab and tested and examined until I die again and then you scientists will perform an autopsy on my body." "Oh, you're probably right about that I guess I wasn't thinking about you again." "Gramps what do you mean again?" asked Gary as he got up from the couch. "Well you see Gary, Kyo and I go a little ways back before I made the pokedex and" "Gary, I used to perform experiments with pokemon and humans a few years before you and Ash were born. The last one I performed was what made me stop my line of work and made me become a pokemon trainer again." "What happened Kyo?" "Well Gary there was an accident at my laboratory and my lucario and salamence were injured in the blast as well as mutated into rare colored pokemon with what some people called unnatural abilities. For example Aura could shoot lightning from his paws when he focused hard enough and he could also move a extreme speeds, though he would be extremely tired after he stopped."
"How did that have anything to do with you Kyo?" "You see Gary when I beat the Sinnoh champion I used only Aura and Fang my salamence because they were my only pokemon I had due to the fact that one of the experiments I performed used a device to make a pokemon and human able to read each others thoughts and have the trainer feel their pain." "The experiment was a success but when the people funding the experiment came they wanted to use Aura and Fang for test subjects along with Kyo. I being the head of the lab said yes and Kyo naturally said no." "Therefore Gary Oak who wanted more funding for his lab was going to sell me and my personal pokemon to the investors as guinea pigs. That is the reason that I left the lab and traveled till I met Ms Ketchum and married her. "You mean your last name isn't Ketchum?!" "Nope, I got rid of my last name and changed my first name in order to hide from the people the investors sent after me. That's why Ms Ketchum always told stories about me being the only person you couldn't sneak up on even when I was sleeping. I was always on guard in case the investors found me. Huh, I guess since it's been fifteen years since that lab accident I eventually lost my ability to immediately sense someone who was trying to sneak up on me."
When I finished my story Ms Ketchum walked back into the room with a plate full of cakes and poffins "snacks anyone?" were the words I had been waiting to here since I got back. After she said this Shina and I immediately grabbed a few poffins and my ex wife stared at me and Shina before asking "Kyo who is that if I may ask?" "Shina is the one true being I love now Ms Ketchum." "What do you mean Kyo! You just found your wife and you're leaving her just because of what you look like! Do you think that makes me happy knowing that if you change forms again you'll fall in love with someone else?" "She has a point Kyo there might be a way to change you back into a human." said Gary and Oak at the same time. "No there isn't anyway to change me back because I'm a dead human therefore if you succeed you will just have a cadaver on your hands instead of a living person, well technically you'll have three cadavers one human and two pokemon." "What does that mean Kyo?" asked Gary "ooh" was all he said as I lifted up the cloak and showed them my black salamence wings.
"Shina it's because I know I can't be changed back into a human that I love you." "Oh, so now it's because your a pokemon that you love me." "ARGH, you don't get it, it's not because of what happened to me that caused this it's because of the fact that I've grown used to this body and even if there was a way to change me back without having me and the others die I still would refuse because of the feeling I have for you has grown larger than the feeling for Ms Ketchum and because" "Because when he married me he never got emotionally attached to me or Ash and that's probably the reason he left to defeat the Sinnoh league, because he somehow knew that his true love was somewhere else in the world and he had to find her. Shina when we got married he never smiled or laughed at anything during the reception. I only managed to get Ash because he asked if I wanted anything for my birthday one time and my response was a child." said my ex wife as she cleaned up the table. After hearing this Shina stared at me with her blue eyes full of tears and leapt at me as I opened my arms and grabbed her in a hug of true love. "That's what happened to you Kyo?!" cried Misty as everyone suddenly remembered she was in the room. "Yep that's the story of how this happened to me" "What are you going to do next Kyo?" "I'm going back to Sinnoh and stopping the group of people that killed me from succeeding at their plans for world domination." "Uh Kyo how are we going to get back to Sinnoh I can't fly." "UMM, I haven't figured that part out yet Shina but I'm working on it." After I said that everyone in the room face palmed themselves. "Yep that's definitely the Kyo I remember."
