Chapter 20

"Kasper". Said a female voice behind us. We were leaving saffron city now going towards vermilion city. Espeon was on my shoulder and all of my Pokémon were out of there pokeballs, as were eddies. We turned to see Torrie running towards us. "Kasper I'm sorry".

"Fuck you". I replied, turning and continuing on towards vermilion city. I had already told all of the Pokémon what had happened and they were all looking at her in disgust.

"Thinks she can just come back and everything will be alright". Charizard scoffed. "The nerve of some people".

"Calm down Chari". Said Bulbasaur, who had started calling her that. He seemed to fit in well with the group, and they all already seemed like good friends. Luckily. "Please stop calling me that". She laughed, though luckily she stopped glaring at Torrie.

"Kasper please listen to me". Torrie pleaded.

I was about to turn and say something when I heard a woman's voice. "Listen, is that a voice I hear"? She said.

"It's speaking to me loud and clear". Came the voice of a man.

"On the wind". She spoke again.

"Past the stars". He said.

"In your ear". They said in unison.

"Bring chaos at a break neck pace".

"Dashing hope, putting fear in its place".

"A rose by any other names just as sweet".

"When everything's worse our work is complete".

"Jessie".

"Jake".

"And Xatu's the name". Said a Pokémon that looked like a bird totem pole.

"Putting the do gooders in their place".

"Where team rocket..."

"In your face". They all yelled in unison.

"Wobbufet". Said a rounded blue thing.

They were in a balloon that was shaped like the, Xatu, I thinks head.

"This is not a good time". I yelled. "I am fed up with you fuckers always appearing, and I am really not in the mood".

"You think we care about that". Said the man, Jake. "Just hand over the Pokémon".

"Careful Jake". Said the woman. "I've met the big one before, and he's trouble".

"Oh it's you Jessie". I said. "In that case, Bulbasaur, use razor leaf".

"You got it". He said. He adjusted his position and green razor sharp leaves shot out of his bulb; they headed straight at the balloon and popped it".

The balloon fell to the ground and the occupants rolled out. "Hey do you mind". Yelled Jessie. "We are trying to steal Pokémon here".

"Oh piss off". I said. "Bulbasaur, what other moves do you know"?

"Ummm". He answered. "Vine whip, magical leaf, and sleep powder".

"Ok then, go with a vine whip". I said.

"Ok". He said. His vines shot out of his bulb and started hitting team rocket.

"Ow, ooh, eee, ahh urgh". They wailed as the vines struck them on different points of their bodies. "Would you stop it"? Yelled Jessie.

"Wobbufet". Said Wobbufet.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait". I said. "Why the fuck is your Pokémon saying its name. I mean I can understand Pokémon and all I can hear is its name".

"I know right". Said Xatu. "It's so fucking annoying. Wait you can understand Pokémon".

"Uh huh". I said. "Now piss off".

"Not until we get those Pokémon we came for". Said Jake. "Go Poliwag. Use bubble beam".

"You don't know much about battling do you". I mocked as the bubbles hit Bulbasaur and did next to no damage. He barely even stepped back from it. "Bulbasaur use vine whip again".

He shot the vines out again and started hitting them. They began to cry out again and turned to run as the vines whipped all over their bodies. "Looks like team rockets running off again". They yelled as they ran.

"Wobbufet". Yelled Wobbufet as he ran after them.

"Boo". Three voices yelled suddenly, and they jumped out of a bush and scaring the shit out of team rocket.

"Waah". They cried out.

"Phahaha". They all laughed. "Banette, use screech and scary face". Yelled the human of the group.

The Pokémon let out an ear splitting screech which, paired with the scary face it pulled, caused team rocket to turn and run as fast as they could. "Now Gastly, use thunderbolt". He yelled, and the little smoke like Pokémon let out a yellow bolt of lightning at team rocket and they were sent flying off.

Now that team rocket were gone I had a chance to have a look at the boy. He was a tall boy, a little shorter than me, with messy brown hair and hazel eyes that glistened in the sun. He was wearing a purple and black ball cap turned slightly to the side of his head. He also had purple jeans and purple trainers with black skulls on them. His top was awesome, it was a black t-shirt with the words "I'm a Pokémon's bitch" on it.

"I think this guy likes purple". I said to Eddie.

"What makes you think that"? He asked.

"I dunno". I replied. "Just a feeling".

This caused Eddie to snigger.

This boy seemed familiar, I didn't know why, maybe I'd seen him on TV or something but the way he acted seemed familiar. "Huh". I said. I could not place it but as he walked closer a Jigglypuff waddled out of the bush and he froze up. "Go away". Said the Banette angrily causing the Jigglypuff to run away.

"No way". I said. "No fucking way. Connor".

"Yeah". Said the boy as he unfroze but immediately tensed up. "How do you know my name".

"I can't fucking believe it". I said. "It's been so long. It's me, Kasper".

"No fucking way". He said, un-tensing and running over to me. I put my hands out and we locked into a hug. "Kasper, I can't believe I'm seeing you again after all these years".

"I know man". I said, pulling away. "So how you been, and nice top".

"Huh". He said, looking down. "Oh shit". He looked worried now so I spoke.

"Don't worry man". I said. "'S all good, the laws being removed. No thanks to her". I said this last bit coldly and pointed at Torrie. "Anyway, how you been".

"Screw how I've been, how've you been". He said. "I aint seen you since, well, your dads funeral".

"I've been fine". I said.

"Well you seem fine". He said. "And god you've changed a lot".

"I'm happy to say that you aint changed much at all". I replied. "I've missed you". As I said this I pulled him into another hug.

"I've missed you to". He replied.

"I see you're still scared of Jigglypuff". I said.

"Uh huh". He admitted, nodding his head. "Ever since that day".

"Um, Kasper". Said Torrie. "Are you gunna..."?

"Are you still here"? I said angrily.

"Wow, chill up man". Said Connor. "What's going on here"?

"She is what's going on here". I said. Another sudden annoying thing happened as Espeon was suddenly pulled from my shoulder. "Espeon". I yelled, turning to see her flying through the air in a large hand that shot out of a rocket launcher, straight towards, you'll never guess, team rocket. "For fucks sake". I yelled, I was about to command Charizard but before I could Torrie shouted.

"Go Kadabra". She yelled, Throwing a pokeball and releasing the psychic Pokémon. "Use confusion". The Pokémon lit purple and so did the hand, causing it to crumble and drop Espeon to the ground. She landed facing team rocket and she began to growl.

"Espeon". I yelled. "Use confusion". She to glowed purple and so did the entire of team rocket. "Now send em flying".

"Good bye". She said to them and then flew them in to the distance, they disappeared in a glint in the sky and as they were going I heard them yell,

"Looks like team rockets blasting off again". They were gone and they didn't seem like they would be back any time soon.

"Torrie". I said. "Thank you. I will stop arguing with you and I don't mind you continuing your travels with us, but we are no longer friends you and I, and not you and my Pokémon if they don't want to. And stop trying to apologize as I will not forgive you for what you did".

"Ok". She said. Looking to the ground and sniffing.

"So where are you going Connor"? I asked.

"Vermillion city". He said. "There's a contest there and I don't want to miss it, after that, I don't know".

"In that case". I said. "You're gunna travel with us, seeing as you've got nothing better to do".

"Well, if you insist". He said. "Hey wait a minute are you the Kasper they've been on about all over the news for the past, like, two months".

"I dunno, I aint watched TV for two months". I said. "But if they are on about the guy who saved the pewter Pokémon centre, emptied Mt. Moon, and cleared out the base in saffron, of Team rocket, then yes I am".

"So you're the one who turned into a Charizard"? He asked, astounded by the revelations. "Wow".

"Yes I am". I said, I then concentrated really hard and turned into a Charizard, well tried to at least, but it didn't work. "For fucks sake". I yelled. "Why can't I do it anymore"?

"I'm guessing it's because you aren't really mad anymore". Said Torrie. "Your anger brought it out".

"It was a rhetorical question". I yelled.

"Dude calm down". Said Connor. "Why are you so angry with her"?

"Eddie will you tell him"? I said as I turned and walked away. "I'm getting pissed off at explaining things lately".

"Alright". He sighed, I think he was getting tired of explaining things as well.

"Jesus Christ". Said Connor as Eddie finished telling him what had happened. "If she had done that to me I don't know what I would have done".

"To be honest". I said. "She's lucky I got Espeon back. If I hadn't I would probably have killed her and everyone else for that matter".

"Really"? Asked Connor. "That's a bit of an exaggeration isn't it".

"No it isn't actually". I said. "My destiny is to save the world or destroy it, and it all depends on me finding love".

"Wait, wait, wait". He said. "I'm really confused now, explain".

"You know what". I said. "We aint seen each other in years so I will just tell you my whole journey as of yet".

"That sounds like a plan". He replied. "And then I'll tell you about mine".

"Ok, where to start". I said. "Well first off, it was around two months ago, I went to Professor Nikolo's lab in pallet town".

"I thought pallet town's professor was professor oak". Stated Connor.

"He died about five years ago". I said. "Professor Nikolo took his place. While I was there I met this really pompous prat who wanted the type advantage over me. I chose good old Charmander so he picked Squirtle. We battled, I won, he got in a mood and was mean to his Pokémon, we got into an argument and then he left. I left shortly afterwards and while walking down route one I tripped. Charmander was on my head at the time and fell off. I caught her and held her like that a bit too long, she realised what I was thinking, if you know what I mean, and we got together, orally".

As I said this, Connor, Eddie and Torrie's eyebrows all raised and I found myself blushing slightly. "That's kinda what happened with me and Banette here". Said Connor.

"Really". I said. "So you, get with Pokémon as well"?

"Yes he does". Said Banette in a masculine voice and I realised.

"Hey are you gay"? I asked Connor.

"No". He said. "I'm, well, I'm bisexual, you don't think I'm a freak do you".

"Of course not". I answered. "I'm Bi as well".

"Really". He said. "This is a weird day. First I run into, like, my best friend, then I find out he too has sex with Pokémon, then I find out he is also bi".

""Since when have you been bi"? Asked Torrie, looking shocked at the outcome of the conversation. "You never told me".

"You never asked". I said back. "And it's not like I tried to hide it. I mean I wasn't all out there about it but it wasn't exactly a secret".

"Shall we get on with the story"? Asked Connor. "I really want to know what happened next".

"Ok". I said. "So after that I headed for viridian city where I ran into... And then we left saffron city, ran into those team rocket guys and you know the rest". I finally finished my tale of my adventure, getting a lot of oohh's and aahh's from Connor.

"Wow". He said as I finished. "After all that my adventure doesn't sound like an adventure".

"Well I still want to hear it". I said. "Especially after I just told you mine".

"Alright". He said. "Where to start. It was my birthday and my brother came into my room and said he had a surprise for me, he then reached in to his pocket and pulled out a pokeball and handed it to me. I pressed the button and Banette appeared in front of me. "He is yours now" my brother told me. The next day I left Petalburg city and went to Rustboro City. On the way I went through Petalburg woods, which is where I met Gastly. He was injured and so I took him to Rustboro and he decided to stay with me after that. Once Gastly was better I took on the gym but lost miserably. It was after my third loss there that I realised that battling wasn't for me. So I started taking on the contests. To be honest I'm not the best coordinator out there and I don't really do them for the winning, I do it for the fun".

"So you don't battle". Said Torrie. "Or enter contests to win them".

"Exactly". He replied. "My real passion is music. I play the Guitar and I am the lead singer of our band. Banette plays the drums and is very good. And Gastly plays the keyboard and does special effects and stuff. Our band is called The Outsiders and we are unique as Pokémon bands usually have a Chatot. I decided that we would come to Kanto for a fresh start and I was hoping that I would run into you as I knew you lived here. We made it to vermillion via a boat and then went to lavender town via routes 11 and 12. We won the lavender town contest and so headed for saffron city. We got their earlier this morning and I heard about what had happened but also learned we had missed the contest so we just decided to head straight for vermillion again as the contest is tomorrow. Then we heard the battle and ran towards it just in time to see those guys attacking you, so we scared them and now here we are".

"Well you were right; it was a pretty uneventful journey so far". I said. "But I'd prefer one like that than the one I've had".

"I guessed". He said, pointing to my face. "That looks painful".

"Naa". I said. "'s nuffin".

"Well ok". He said.

"Hey Kasper". Said Eddie. "Don't you think we should set up camp for the night now".

"Yeah". I said. "That sounds like a plan. What do you think con..." I turned back to Connor but he was gone. "(Here it comes)".

"Where'd he go". Gasped Torrie. "He just disappeared. Where could he have...?"

"Boo". Yelled Connor, appearing out of nowhere and scaring he shit out of Torrie and Eddie. "Phahaha". He wailed as Torrie and Eddie jumped a mile. I began to laugh as well.

"I knew you were gunna do that". I said. "And thanks, I needed a little pick me up".

"No problem". He said as he took off his bag. "Now let's set up camp".

"Let's". I replied, removing my own bag.

Ooohh so Kasper has run into an old friend now, and what about team rocket, where are James and Meowth, will you ever find out. You'll have to keep reading to find out. The character of Connor was an OC submitted to me by Horrorland man, and is of no way my idea. Anyway as always, remember to review. Okiday
