Anyway here it is a week late, and the next one might be too, I don't know yet..Anyway you guys should be prepared this chapter is going to be a long one.
Chapter 10: Meanwhile...
(Part One: Giratina)
"Ivan...Ivan wake up..."
I sat up and grabbed my head.
"Ow my head."
He looked around to see that he was in a familiar dark area. With a familiar Pokemon in front of him.
"Welcome back Ivan..."
I stood and groaned.
"Thanks...I guess..."
I looked up at Giratina with an unsettling feeling.
"I guess this is the time you meant when you said we would meet again, with plenty of time to talk?"
Giratina chuckled.
"Ah, as perceptive as ever I see...Yes, this is the time I spoke about. And before you ask any questions, I will explain my appearance to you. I suggest you get comfortable."
I looked around, then just sat with my legs crossed.
"Well first, I am going to reintroduce myself. I am Giratina. I watch over the Distortion World, and am able to travel to and from it as I please. But as of right now, I am assigned the job of watching over you. You see, Legendary Pokemon are very busy keeping peace in the realms of which they watch over. For example, me and the Distortion World, or Celebi and Ilex Forest. Since we do that, and there is one existing Legendary, we do not have protectors of civil areas. With that fact out there, Arceus decided that we would be assigned to a Pokemon whose life is supposed to filled with struggle, anguish, and hardship. These Pokemon are said to lead good lives after they overcome their troubles. They are the ones who will change the world in some way Are you still following?"
I shook his head 'yes'.
"Good. Now, the legendaries are chosen randomly, sort of like a roulette. You've already encountered another someone who has a legendary watching over them. Although you didn't talk to him, you were aware of their presence. And you will encounter him again. Anyway, every time an egg is made a legendary is chosen to watch over them, keep them safe, and empower them."
Ivan tilted his head in confusion.
"Empower? What do you mean?"
Giratina sighed.
"We've spoken about this before. Give them a little power or make them stronger when they need help. For this, we are to pass on our For example, a few moments ago. I strengthened your body so that you could survive the fall."
I squinted.
"Well, if what you're saying is true, then that means you helped me out during lots of battles I should have lost. Like Rio for instance?"
Giratina shook his head 'yes'.
"Yes, I gave you power at the end, right before you got hit with High Jump Kick."
I stood up.
"What about Sean? I thought something was off about those battles."
"That was actually you. Your own anger that you kept bottled up came out when you got angry, and you took it out on your target."
I scoffed.
"I don't know what you mean. I don't get angry. I've never had any anger to bottle up."
Giratina scowled.
"Don't try to play dumb with me child!"
Ivan flinched.
"I know how you feel when you feel, and why you feel that way! You can't hide your feelings from me. Like how angry you were with your father when he forced you to train instead of making friends."
Ivan's eye's widened.
"Or how angry you were with Wesley for being friends with the person who tortured you for three years. And last but not least, how mad at yourself you were for not properly displaying your emotions. That's why your anger has been getting out of control as of late."
Ivan looked at Giratina teary eyed.
"Alright. You're right, I've been hiding my real emotions. But that doesn't matter now. The way I feel now is completely different! If I hadn't trained with my Dad I wouldn't have met Liz, or be as strong as I am today! I don't care how anyone sees me except Wesley, Liz, and Lyle. My family will see me the same no matter how I act anyway. And with Wesley, I hated him as much as I did Jace and Lyle at first. But then I noticed how he always looked away whenever they would hit me. Or look back after they were done. And then I started liking him."
I turned toward Giratina when I heard him laughing.
"What?"
"You thoughts on Wesley's feelings toward you are very...naive."
I gave him a confused look.
"What? What do you mean?"
"I mean, you don't know your boyfriend like you think you do. You didn't like him first, he was the one who originally had feelings for you, although it took him longer to realize it. You see, when he first saw you, he thought that there was something special about you, and wanted to get closer to you. But then Jace happened. He didn't want to do what he said, but he was too young to have his life ruined by society, so he had to. He couldn't help but look away whenever he saw you hurt. And every time he looked back, he wanted to apologize. But couldn't work up the courage, until that day..."
"He hugged me."
Giratina smiled.
"Yes, he couldn't help it anymore. He wanted to do something to make it up to you so bad, that he became obsessed with thinking of ways to make you happy. He couldn't help but fall in love with you after thinking about you so much, regretting his selfish decision to help himself instead of you, and even getting to know you. You impacted him so much, it actually surprised me."
With a shocked look I fell on my knees.
"I can't believe it. I never knew he felt that way...H-how do you know all this?"
"I see your world as if it were a third person. Through any reflection, whether it be a puddle, or a black phone screen. I can see it. I may be in charge of watching over you, but I also keep track of the lives of those around you. That's why I know so much about your life."
I sat and rested my chin on my paws.
"Okay, so I get how you watch over me, and keep me safe by giving me strength in dire situations, but how do you empower me?"
"Well, a few moments ago when Jace was holding you over that cliff, you had a lot of things on your mind. Yet you couldn't say them fro some reason. So I took over your body and let you speak your mind."
I squinted at him.
"What do you mean "Take over your body?"
"Simple. I inhabit your mind, and influence your body by making you do things you normally wouldn't. Sometimes I make you speak your mind. Others I actually make your body move. Like sometimes if someone wakes you up, I "empower" you and make you kick their ass since that is what you want to do."
My eyes widened.
"What?! Is that why my Dad keeps calling me sleep fighter?"
He laughed.
"Yup. But that's not the point. The point is, I was chosen to watch over you, and I've been doing so since you hatched from an egg. I've watched you grow up, and become who you are today. It'd be easy for anyone to do since you've been writing in that journal since you were three years old."
"You read my journal?"
"Yep. I wanted to know the person I'd be watching forever, so I used my power to grab it when you stopped writing in it. There were actually some interesting entries."
His eyes glowed blue and as he spoke the text appeared.
"October 9th, xxxx: A Zangoose, a familiar looking Absol, and a Charmeleon attacked me today. I tried to fight them off but the Charmeleon overpowered me. I didn't know what problem was but I hope this doesn't happen again...Remember that?"
"December 19th, xxxx: The three who attacked me before are name Jace, Wesley, and Lyle. Jace is the Zangoose, Wesley is the Absol, and Lyle is the Charmeleon. I figured out that Lyle is mute, but I don't know why, and also that Wesley is the same Absol that's been in my classes since fourth grade. No wonder he looked so familiar!"
"January 16th, xxxx: I realized today that the Absol always looks away whenever I get attacked. And always looks back when they're finished. I wonder why that is...These are just a few that happened a few years ago...Let's go back further."
"April 23rd, xxxx: Today we had a new student in class. He's an Absol and looked pretty shy. The teacher put us in the same group since she thinks I'm the nicest person in class, but he didn't really talk much. He just said hi and kept to his work. That's the day you met Wesley isn't it? You told him your name, but he didn't tell you his, which means he's known your name since the day you met."
"November 8th, xxxx: My Dad trains me too hard. He makes me punch trees and rocks, and even makes me run miles and miles uphill! But I guess that isn't so bad. Since we train in the park, people sometimes watch us. But lately an Eevee has been watching me every time we go, and it's kinda weird, but she only smiles when I look at her."
"November 16th, xxxx: Today the Eevee came and talked to me. She said didn't have many friends and asked if I would become one. I told her yes, since I didn't have any friends either... You sure did write a lot. It made me laugh whenever you told someone that it wasn't a diary."
I looked at him, confused.
"What's so important about my journal entries?"
The text faded away.
"Well, these are all the events where you met your closest friends are they not?"
I crossed my arms.
"Well what about Cameron?"
"Heh, be honest with yourself. He's closer friends with Liz than he is with you isn't he? You guys hung out, but he never did converse with you, if only a little. You and him aren't really close."
"Alright we aren't. But what about my closest friends have to do with you being here?"
"They prove my point about your power to change others. Believe it or not Wesley shut everyone out except you, and his brother. He never really clicked with others. He was a little annoyed by your upbeat attitude, but got used to it. You were the only person away from home he actually communicated with in a positive way. And Lyle, his guilt, and Jace crossing over his comfort line, caused him to speak. Like Wesley he didn't want to hurt you, but felt no other choice. And Liz, you simply gave her a friend. Someone she could finally trust. She stuck by you all these years, and now she's just as popular as you are. So you see, you have changed the world in a small way. Whether it be getting an introvert to come out of his shell, getting a mute child to speak, or making friends with someone lonely. You have made an impact."
Sudden;y realization hit me.
"What about our date?"
"Huh?"
"You know, I was on a date with Wesley when I was attacked, and now I'm here? I'm...I'm not dead am I?"
"No, because then I would have failed my job. You're simply in a coma."
My chest started to ache.
"But what about everyone else? I wouldn't want them to be worried about me..."
Suddenly, images appeared in front of them. They were of the people closest to Ivan, and were seen as if he were awake and from his point of view.
"Well, due to the kindness and generosity of the doctor in charge of you, Wesley's been allowed to stay with you overnight at the hospital. He goes home from school, tends to his hygiene, and then stays at the hospital with you. He talks to your unconscious body, and even lays next to you. It's pretty sweet actually...Your family visits you everyday. They leave quickly since your mother and sisters can never hold back their tears. Liz and Lyle don't know since Wesley couldn't bring himself to tell them."
My ears drooped.
"Oh..."
"You know he blames himself for this right?"
"I kind of thought he would. He's just that type of person. Typical. He thinks it was I was dropped off a cliff. I wish I could tell him. And now Jace...he...he...HE RUINED EVERYTHING! We were supposed to spend the rest of time together but he ruined it! Now I'm in a coma and I might not wake up before he leaves!"
I turned toward Giratina when I heard him laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"You, your anger. I've spoken to you about it before haven't I"
"Yeah, you told me something about letting it loose or something."
"Yes, do you know why that is?"
I shook my head no.
"It's because you're strongest when you get angry. When you battle normally, you're pretty strong. But when your opponent does something to piss you off, your basically invincible. Your heart starts beating faster, your blood gets pumping, your adrenaline going. You become feral and want to tear them apart to the best of your abilities. Like you did to Sean. Believe it or not you broke a limb. That's why he wasn't as fast in your last battle. But that's not the point. The point is, your anger draws out my power. It literally makes you angry to the point where no one can stop you until you either calm down or the person who crossed you is either severely hurt or..."
I gulped.
"Or what?"
Giratina's eyes widened as he spoke.
"Dead."
I stumbled backward.
"Dead? You may my anger may drive me to kill someone?"
"Yes, but only of they manage to piss you off. And seeing as you are very difficult to anger, it may prove to be a difficult task."
I grabbed my head.
"Wow...why is your power drawn out by my anger?"
Giratina spread his wings and began to fly away.
"That is something even I do not know. I have nothing else to tell you."
I suddenly perked up.
"Does this mean I'm going to wake up?"
"Well it's only been three weeks...Based off of your injuries I'm guessing it'll be a few more before you do."
His eyes glowed red.
"But you'll be fine, I'm returning you to the regular unconscious plane where you can dream pleasantly..."
I began to be covered in shadows and blacked out.
(Part Two: Final Round)
(Wesley's P.O.V.)
I walked through the hospital hallways solemnly. People moved out of the way when they noticed me coming, and looked at me when I passed by. I avoided their gaze and kept going. I made it to Ivan's room and sat in the chair next to his bed.
"Hey Ivan. Lately these few weeks have been hell. I couldn't eat, sleep or study. My grades were bad before, and then you helped me bring them back up. But I couldn't bring myself to study without thinking of you. The only thing making this worse is that Jace has been trying to get me to hang out with him lately. Hmph, as if. He came to me trying to say he felt bad for me about what happened to you, and then tried to apologize for blackmailing me, and that he wanted to actually wanted to be friends. I didn't want to hear a word he said so I just got up and left. I also could have sworn I heard him grit his teeth and growl as I left. Also, Lyle, Liz, and Kyle have been asking about you lately. I couldn't tell them. They said they tried going to your house but no one answered. I guess you family couldn't tell them either..."
I looked at his sleeping body and felt my chest ache.
"You know, the doctor says you're making a quick recovery. It's been three weeks and you bones have almost fully healed. Hopefully you'll wake up before I leave..."
I rubbed his left ear, which I knew he liked, and my heart jumped when I saw a small smile creep up on his lips. I smiled because I knew he'd be okay.
"You know Ivan, the final round of the tournament is this week. I know if you were awake you'd root for me. I'm going up against a few Pokemon in the semi-finals. I forgot who they are though. Anyway, IWe fight tomorrow, and hopefully you'll wake up to see a gold trophy sitting next to your bed with our names on it."
I got up, kissed his forehead, and left the room.
(The next day)
As I waited for the final exhibition match to be over, I noticed Kyle walking up to me. He sat down.
"Who'd have thought we'd be going at it in the finals. Huh?"
He looked at me, expecting a response.
"We all noticed you've been kinda quiet since Ivan stopped showing up for school. No one knows why, and has even mentioned it. You know, Liz, Lyle, and I...we're getting kinda worried and figured maybe you know something?"
I huffed and he crossed his arms.
"Huh...Well clearly if you do no something you aren't so keen on telling us. So how about this, if I win you tell me why Ivan suddenly disappeared. If you win, we won't ask you about it anymore. How about it?"
I looked at his outstretched hand and took it. Getting up with a huff I shook his hand.
"Fine."
We watched as the battle ended and made our way to the field. The announcer grabbed his microphone and quieted the crowd.
"Alright. Now then, we get to the tournament final match! If Kyle wins, him and his partner Lyle will win the tournament. If Wesley wins, him and his partner Ivan will win! A battle between the two teams who've done the best in both of their tiers, and a battle to finish off the 11th Annual Ivytown High Tournament!"
The crowd roared as we got into our stances. The announcer held up his tails, and used the fingers to count down.
"Three!"
Kyle smirked.
"Good thing you decided to participate in the final rounds. Ivan would totally kick my ass."
I smiled.
"Two!"
I whispered to myself:
"Yeah, mine too..."
"One!"
"Begin!"
Kyle immediately jumped up and formed two Water Shuriken in his hands. He threw them down at me, forcing me to jump backward. He fell down and ran toward me as I used Swords Dance to double my offensive power.
"Ice Punch!"
I jumped over his fist and landed behind him.
"Superpower..."
I picked him up and threw him into a wall across the battlefield. He fell and knelt.
"Whew...that hurt more than it should've..."
He looked at me and got up.
"Role Play!"
I glowed white and a ball of light came out of my chest. He absorbed it and closed his eyes.
"Hm, Super Luck seems like a good ability for me..."
He formed two more Water Shuriken and threw them at me. I dodged the first, but was hit in the arm with the second one. Since I was slowed he threw three more at me. I was hit in the other arm, the left leg, and the chest. He landed and put a hand on his hip.
"I'm definitely glad to battle you instead of Ivan. I figured you would be more of a challenge but I'm barely tired and your ability really helped me out just now! No hard feelings once this is over right?"
He slowly walked up to me while cupping his hands together. While he closed his eyes in concentration I used Swords Dance one more time. Then I got up. He finally found the energy he needed pushed his hands forward.
"Hydro Cannon!"
He shot a large blast of water at me.
"Megahorn!"
I rushed through the blast causing the water to spray out in many different directions while I ran through unharmed. When he finally stopped he knelt to recharge. I jumped up and slammed my horn down on him causing an explosion and smoke to arise around us. When it cleared it revealed Kyle to be knocked out and me standing over him. The crowd roared and the announcer grabbed his mic.
"Wow! What a great way to end this tournament folks! A truly magnificent battle here with the winner being Wesley!"
Everyone cheered my name as I walked up to Kyle. For some odd reason, he was waking up.
"Gee, I didn't know you would rather beat me to a pulp than tell us about our friend..."
I extended a hand a smiled.
"I was actually going to tell you either way. Let's get everyone, I have something to shoe you guys."
He grabbed my hand and I lifted him up.
(A few moments later...)
We had found Lyle and Liz and I led them to the hospital. As we entered I told them to sit in the waiting room while I handle things. I noticed their worried expressions as I signed us in for visiting hours. I led them down the hall to where Ivan's room was. As we walked in Liz gasped. Lyle's jaw dropped, and Kyle simply looked away with pain all over his face. Liz sat next to him and tried to hold back tears.
"What happened?"
I sighed and sat next to her.
"Well, we were on a date. Having fun, talking. Normal date stuff. We were just about to leave when he had to go to the bathroom. Then he didn't come back and I got worried. Our waitress told me she saw him go into the woods with some shady Pokemon and then I ran to look for him. Next thing I know he was being carried by a Lapras who happened to be swimming by and heard him fall in the water. She brought him to shore and gave him to me. I called my brother and he drove us here."
Lyle growled and lifted me up by my shirt collar.
"Why didn't you go with him."
Liz grabbed his shoulder.
"Lyle put him down! There's no way he could've known something like that would happen. It's not his fault!"
He dropped me and stormed to the other side of the room. He sat down and huffed. Kyle put his hand on Lyle's shoulder.
"It's okay. Ivan looks fine now. The only person you should be mad at is the person who did this. But we don't know who..."
I started to rub Ivan's right ear. Liz put a hand on her chin.
"The only way we'll know that is if we wait for Ivan to wake up and then we'll know. After that we could all go and-"
I lifted up a paw.
"Hold on. I think what's best is to just wait and nothing else. Because we all know that Ivan isn't a vengeful person, but depending on who did this to him, he may only hurt them for making us worry and hurt so much. And if anyone's going to do anything, we all know it's going to be him."
Lyle shook his head in agreement.
"You gotta admit, he is right. If Ivan would have any reason to hurt anyone outside of battle, it would be to protect those around him..."
Kyle crossed his arms and smiled.
"Yeah, we don't need to worry, whoever did this will get theirs..."
(Part Three: Awakened)
(Two weeks later)(Ivan's P.O.V.)
I was having some type of dream about running through a field of paper flowers. The all folded up and floated into the sky, leaving nothing but grass and leaves on the ground. I on the ground where the last flower was and watched as my shadow took the shape of Giratina.
"Ivan...you have fully recovered. You must wake up...Wake up...WAKE UP!"
I jumped up with a gasp, and bumped heads with someone. I looked up to see a blur of yellow and white. As my eyes focused I saw that it was a Ninetales in a lab coat, holding a stethoscope.
"Oh my...Ivan, can you hear me?"
I tried to speak but I couldn't utter the words. So I slowly shook my head 'yes'. He grabbed my right hand.
"Squeeze my paw."
I squeezed it lightly but not hard.
"Wow, you just woke up and you can already follow commands."
He grabbed a pen from his coat and wrote something down on his clipboard.
"Most patients can't even do that when they wake up. It just goes to show how strong you are."
He walked next to me and put up some digits.
"Tell me how many digits I'm holding up."
"T-two."
He smiled.
"Oh, you can even slightly talk! At this rate you'll be fine in a week! After all, you'll need time to recover fully and we'll get your family in here so you can get checked out."
He smiled and put his paw in front of me again.
"Now squeeze my paw harder, I know you can."
(One week later)
One week later the doctor, whose name turned out to be Dr. Harper, finished his tests, and wrote more stuff on his clipboard.
"Well, it seems as though you have made a speedy recovery. You can walk just fine, we've already made sure your battling skills have not been affected, and...and you can talk just fine right? Nothing's wrong?"
I shook my head 'yes' and smiled.
"Yes doctor."
He smiled back.
"Good good. Now then, I've already informed your parents of your recovery and they informed me they will be around by lunchtime. They've also told me of a Mr. Simmers who'll apparently be visiting as well. Meanwhile, just relax and wait for everyone to get here."
He smiled as he walked to the door and left the room. I looked out the window, and then a shadow appeared on the floor.
"Oh, hello Giratina."
"Hello Ivan. I assume you're fully recovered?"
"Yup. I feel fine, and the doctor said I'm okay."
The shadow's eyes glowed red.
"NO. I mean emotionally. You aren't going to let Jace get away with this are you. You may be fine, but who knows what he's been up to while you were out. He may even try to kill you again..."
I rolled my eyes.
"Giratina I'm fine. I know how to deal with Jace. He only got the best of me this time because he had the Hitmonlee help him."
"So what you aren't going to do anything?"
"Oh no, that Zangoose is as good as dead. I'm just not upset right now. That's why."
Giratina squinted.
"Wow. I'm impressed. I'm the legendary Giratina, a ghost Pokemon, those that see me are typically frightened. I'm not easily scared. But right now I've gotta say, your calmness right now is intimidating. I'd hate be that kid right about now."
I scoffed.
"I'm flattered..."
The shadow started to disappear.
"Hmph...whatever your family is here."
As soon as he said that Erica burst in the door and glomped me.
"Ooh you're awake! Wesley told us what happened! We were so worried about you!"
Alex huffed while standing near the door.
"Not all of us."
Amy smacked on the back of his head.
"Yes all of us. You were the one wondering when he'd wake up and was all depressed."
He blushed and looked away while she laughed.
"Sh-shut up Amy! What do you know?!"
He stormed away while she laughed. My mom and Dad sat on the bed next to me. My mom put a hand on my shoulder.
"You know your friends wanted to meet up with you after you got better."
"Really?"
My Dad ruffled my head fur.
"Yup. They came by after they found out what happened. They said that when you wake up they want to see you. And Mr. Simmers is downstairs and wants to see you."
Dr. Harper walked in and waved to us.
"Well, all the paperwork is done so you can leave now Ivan. All your parents have to do is sign you out."
We all walked downstairs, and just as we were about to leave my dad patted my shoulder.
"Mr. Simmers is waiting outside for you, he wants to speak with you."
When we got outside I saw a Typhlosion sitting on the bench in front of the hospital entrance. I waved good-bye to everyone and went and sat next to him.
"Hello Ivan."
I squinted.
"Who're you?"
He laughed.
"Seems as though you have forgotten. I am Mason Simmers Co-owner of Tournament 3000. I was present at the Ivytown Annual in which you participated. I took interest in you when I saw how you knocked out a Drapion. I must say, I was impressed."
I blushed.
"Oh yeah you were there. Sorry."
He chuckled.
"It's fine. What matters is I want you to participate in the next tournament."
He pulled a pamphlet out of his pocket and handed it to me.
"It'll be held five years from now, in Kalos. I want you to be there."
I opened the pamphlet.
"What if I'm not good enough?"
He put an arm around my shoulder.
"You will receive proper training. You're an amazing battler now, but after some intense training with professional teachers, you'll be just fine."
My eyes widened when I saw the prices for the school I was supposed to go to and the college I was to be in afterwards.
"I don't think my parents could afford all this."
He patted me on the back.
"Oh it's okay. I am personally going to be paying for all this. You have nothing to worry about. In fact, I'll let you take your friends. Hm? How's that sound?"
I smiled.
"That sounds great!"
I fist pumped.
"Good. When you graduate high school call this number and you'll be on your way. Now let's go."
He pointed at the number on the back of the pamphlet. He gestured for me to get in his car.
"I'll give you a lift to the park. Your friends wanted to meet you there so tell you something apparently."
I got in.
"Thanks."
Once we got there he waved goodbye and drove off. I walked into the park and after a little while I saw my friends sitting at a table underneath a tree. Liz noticed me first and gave me a hug.
"Oh, it's so great to see you again! I missed you so much, you don't know how hard it is to function without your best friend!"
Lyle smacked me on the back.
"Good to see you're doing okay."
Meanwhile Kyle just saluted to me.
"I probably wouldn't have survived a fall that big."
I blushed and rubbed the back of my head.
"Thanks guys..."
After looking around, I noticed someone was missing.
"H-hey. Where's Wesley?"
They looked down with solemn faces. Lyle put a hand on my shoulder.
"That's actually what we wanted to meet here abou-"
I put my hands up.
"Hold it. I'm pretty sure you're going to give me bad news. But I want to start out with something good."
Lyle closed his mouth.
"Go ahead."
"Mr Simmers invited to take part in the next Tournament 3000!"
They all gasped. Lix put her paws on my shoulders.
"Really? That's so great!"
I squealed.
"I know. He said he's gonna pay for me to be properly trained and taught how to use my power. And he said I could bring you all! We can all grow stronger together! Alright, now bring me the bad news."
Liz gulped.
"Wesley's gone. He moved."
My good mood shriveled away instantaneously. I wanted to break down and cry. But I knew there would be no point. A small tear fell, but I wiped it away.
"*sigh* Oh well. It's not like I could've done anything."
Kyle put up a finger.
"That's not it."
Lyle walked forward.
"Ivan there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Since before you went into a coma. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to ruin your time with Wesley."
He started rubbing his hands together.
"It's Jace's fault."
My heart snapped.
"What? How?"
He gulped.
"Well you see, it turns out Jace's dad is Wesley's dad's boss. He asked his dad to give him a promotion so that they would have to move away."
They all cringed. A shadowy aura surrounded me, and lashed out. They couldn't see it of course but I knew it was all my anger and hate being released. Then suddenly all of it was drawn into me and went away. I smiled I sharp toothed smile..
"Oh well. It's too late for me to do anything."
My right eye twitched. Liz looked at my face closer.
(He's dead...)
"Are you sure you're okay?"
My right eye twitched once more.
"Yup. I'm fine."
(Wait til I see him again...)
Lyle exhaled.
"Whew. Good, for a second I thought you'd go on a rampage."
(Oh I am. Just, not yet.)
(A few days later.)
I spent the last few days in my room. After my friends thought I was well enough( as in I wasn't going to hunt down and murder Jace) to be left alone, we all went home. I paced back in forth imagining my revenge. Not plotting, imagining. I imagined me punching him in the gut, or breaking a bone. I looked in the mirror on my dresser and saw my face. My room was dimly lit so all I could see was my eyes and teeth, which were sharp for some reason. My face was also stuck with an evil smile(imagine a Night Blight. If you don't know what it is look it up). I None of my family members bothered me either. Ever Erica came in and saw me they've all avoided me. It make any difference to me, I wanted to be left alone. I did of course emerge to get food, something to drink, and fresh air occasionally. When I did I tried to make myself look as normal as possible. I didn't know why I was like this, but I even scared myself.
"Giratina..."
A large shadow appeared in my room.
"Yes?"
I turned toward it.
"You're the reason I look like this aren't you?"
"Actually I don't know why you look like that. This has never happened before, so I have no idea what's going on."
"Well there's got to be some reason I look like a monster!"
"Don't take that tone with me chil-"
A ball of light suddenly appeared in my room, causing us to stop.
"Calm down Giratina...the child is simply confused."
"Hmph."
The shadow disappeared. And the ball of light formed a Pokemon.
"Hello Ivan. I am Arceus. Like Giratina I watch over those who have been destined to lead outstanding lives. And I've got to say, your life so far has been chaos. But I'm here to guide you."
"You mean you'll help me understand this thing?"
I gestured to my teeth.
"Yes. Right now your body has altered to match the strongest emotion within you. Anger. This because of the news you heard of what Jace had to do with Wesley moving away."
I gave her a confused look.
"But I've gotten angry plenty of times and I've never looked like this before."
"This is because Giratina was angry too."
My eyes widened.
"Really?"
She shook her head 'yes'.
"Believe it or not Giratina cares for you deeply. He doesn't want to see you hurt, which is why he helps you out when you need it. His emotions don't come across clearly however. The only thing that is clear with him, is his anger. Which is why you get stronger when you're angry. He watches your life as if it's a television show. He feels for the protagonist, in this case, you."
"But what about the way my body looks?"
"It happens when your emotions match those of you guardian legendary. For example, if a Pokemon and Zekrom both felt exhilarated at the same time, their body will be altered to match that. Which is why a Lucario will always avoid you if you and Giratina feel angry."
She chuckled to herself.
"Do not worry. Once you or Giratina are not angry anymore, you'll be back to normal. Also, your anger is clouding your thoughts and actions. Calm down a little and collect yourself."
She started to glow.
"Goodbye for now Ivan. Hopefully we'll see each other again."
She reverted back to a ball of light, and disappeared. I smirked and turned to the mirror where I knew Giratina was watching me.
"So you do care. All this time I just thought you thought of watching over me as a job."
I got no reply, but figured I knew what he was thinking. I sat down on my bed and crossed my legs.
"Alright. Now let's calm ourselves down."
