Kamon: Hyrule Castle
5th March 1589
There were many things I could say to my brother. It seemed that things were going back to the old days when we were younger. I had the sudden urge to communicate with Ash. At times I despised him and at other times I envied him. There were a thousand meaningful phrases I could pick to say to him at the dining room. It was just the two of us. I told my brother, "You eat like a pig."
I had no idea what Ash was eating, but it seemed that he had thrice more than me. I'm sure it's tasty enough for him. Ash has always been a big eater, and always finished my leftovers when I was a kid. That was when we were living together and we had to play happy families.
"Blame Dad!" Gee, is that the best thing the future King of Hoenn can come up with? Blame Father for everything. Even if he gives everyone crap advice, he is still our dad. Underneath it all, he's a good man.
"Do you have idea how hard it is for Dad?" For all this time I thought I hated my dad, but there I was, standing up to my brother and defending my dad.
"Do you have any idea how bad it is to steal pokemon?"Ash hissed back at me. The comeback was good enough: only a fool would expect better. "Sasuke told me everything."
I stole his sneasel, but he deserved it. "Sasuke abused it because he didn't know how to evolve it. When I had Sneasel, he evolved within a week of having him. His claw was broken."
"So you really do care about your pokemon?" Ash was stunned. So atomished he stopped eating and left his mouth open. What an unpleasent sight!
"Now it's your turn," I said. Sure, I may have done some wrong decisions, but at least I didn't sleep with my own cousin.
"Huh?"
"Why don't you confess your sins." I was a lot more calmer this time. "Remember what our mother said? We've got to share our problems."
"Problems and sins aren't exactly the same thing."
"Have you got something to hide then?" How typical of Ash to think he osbsuperior ro me. "Or are you that much of a coward you think you're so great?"
"You have no idea?"
"So you've not been sneaking off with Misty then? Or Melody? Anabel? Bianca Of Alto Mare? King Gary?"
"What do you mean?" Ash stood up from his chair, then slowly slid back down. "I haven't seen any of those people since I left Kanto. I don't even know half those people."
"All that money our family spent for your education and you got no idea who you're having the pleasure with?"
"These claims are ridicolous!" His stuttering caught him out. "Gary is the last person I would sleep with." "I am promised to May, and I go to her in bed as a virgin."
"You can't lie to save your life."
"I mean how did know... I mean why would you accuse me of sleeping with my..."
"You're pathetic and disgusting," I hissed. The slip of the tongue and the silence said it all. My big brother was nothing more than a lech with an empty skull. Ash didn't have to tell me all of his dirty little secrets, but if Dad found out about them, he would lose it. I had the most foul image of Gary lying on top of my brother in my head. I couldn't eat anymore of that food. I had only eaten half of it, but my appetite had died. No doubt that pig will clear the plate on my behalf.
Misty I could understand, he and Ash were very close friends and were planning their wedding before Dad decided to intervene. The other three girls I mentioned were most likely some of his one night stands. Ash is learning all these filthy tricks by Gary. It was probally Gary who taught him how to seduce or charm girls, or maybe it was Brock.
I can't bring myself to look at him.
"So what?" Ash lost his tempter. "That was the the past. Who I was back then is different to who I am now."
"People never change."
"Its none of your business anyway."
"If I'm to defeat you then it has everything to do with me."
"You can never defeat me!" Ash was going mad. He held his pewter mug in the air and roared, "How many times have you tried?"
"I can name people who have defeated you, and I swept their team easily."
"Well then why don't we put that theory to the test?"
"Bring it on, Brother!"
