Chapter 35\ F.B.P.M

We were awoken, early the next morning, by someone yelling through the broken passenger window, scairing Phoebe half to death.

-scaired- Phoebe: "Who are you?"

Me: "What's going on?"

Strange man: "Are you Cj?"

Me: "Who wants to know?"

Strange man: "The U.S government."

Me: "Really?"

Me: "Your going to arrest me, after all the shit I've done for you, while you hid in your little bunkers?"

Strange man: "Not quite."

Strange man: "We want to ask for your help."

-confused- Me: "What?"

Strange Man: "The governments changing its plans, the military has taken over, a new bureau was formed."

Strange man: "The Federal Bureau of Pokemon Managment."

Strange man: "We've heard of your heroics, we saw you fight those scythers last night, we know what you did in Tokyo, as well as Danville, Victorville, Lycomming. An entire team of top scientist were hired just to fit the pieces together. Yesterday, we finally caught up with you."

Me:"What about her?"

Strange man: "Oh she's that gardevoir you wanted to marry right?"

Me: "Um we are married."

Strange man: " There's no official documentation of your marriage."

Phoebe: "WHAT?"

Strange man: "Thats right miss, your marriage ain't official."

Phoebe: "Cj?"

Me: "Just because it doesn't exist on paper doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Strange man: "Oh really? She doesn't even have a valid I.D, she's not even a citizen of the United states of america, or anywhere else for that matter."

Strange man: "You can pretend all you want, but as far the government is concerned, she's just your pokemon, not your wife, she's not even human."

Phoebe was upset, deeply upset by what this man was saying, I was somewhere between annoyed and pissed off. She put her head down and cried, while I tried to reason with this asshole.

Me: "But she can talk like a human, she kinda looks like a human, and hell she's trying as hard as she can to act like a human, she's human enough for me."

Strange man:" Doesn't matter, without a valid identity, you two will never be truly married."

Me: "Valid Identity? Her name's Phoebe you dumbass."

Strange man: "Oh really, does she have a birth certificate? Social security number, or any other document that can confirm her existence as a human?"

Phoebe snapped, she through the guy against the wall with her powers, scairing him badly.

Me: "Honey?"

Strange man: "What the hell, this is assault on a federal agent, call her off."

Me: " Assault? You said she wasn't human, non-humans can't commit assault, I didn't tell her to do this."

Strange man: "What, oh dammit."

She got out of the car and turned around to speak to me.

Phoebe: "Cj, we're not really married are we?"

Me: "Honey..."

Phoebe: "Not according to the government atleast."

Me: "No, but who cares what the government thinks?"

Phoebe: "I want it to be official, in every way."

Me: "Fine, but I don't know how you expect to do that."

Phoebe: "Just watch."

She turned around to face the guy, still pinned to the wall.

Phoebe: "Allright jerk, how do I get an I.D.?"

Strange man: "y...yyou...you can't your a pokemon."

Phoebe: "Bullcrap, your lying..."

She spread the guy out against the wall with her powers , stretching his arms and legs out.

Strange man: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me."

Me: "Honey don't kill him."

Phoebe: "Relax honey I'm not going to kill him."

Phoebe: "I'm just going to make him scream until he tells me how to become human."

Me: "I thought you were against torturing for pleasure."

Phoebe: "Honey, I'm not torturing for pleasure I'm torturing for information."

Me: "You can't just read his mind?"

Phoebe: "No, I'm trying to act human remember?"

Phoebe: "Now, once again, how do I get an I.D?"

Strange man: "I, I, can pull a few strings, I can get one for you, just don't kill me."

Phoebe: "And you can get the documents to make our marriage official?"

Strange man: "Yes, just don't kill me please."

Phoebe: "Oh, allright, I suppose I could let you down now."

She turned to me and asked in a slightyl sarcastic manner.

Phoebe: "What do you think Cj?"

Me:"Do what you want with him honey, I don't care."

She let the guy down, he got up, terrified of her."

Strange man: "Don't do that again."

Phoebe: "You'll have them done by tomarrow right?"

Strange man: "Well it might take a little..."

-false anger- Phoebe: "What was that?"

Her hands glowed.

Strange man: "I mean, yes, by tomarrow, of course miss."

Phoebe: "Thats Mrs. (My actual last name) to you."

Strange man: " Yes...sorry Mrs. ( My actual last name) . "

Phoebe: "That's better, now go. I'm tired, you woke me up too early, never do that again."

The guy, still terrified, walked away, got in his car, which I had just noticed, it was an all-black Dodge Charger, typical pursuit car. And sped down the road to who knows where.

She walked back to the car and got in.

Me: "What the hell was that?"

Phoebe: "He got what he deserved."

Me: "You know my full name?"

Phoebe: "Why of course Cj, I've known it all this time."

Me: "Cool."

Phoebe: "It's (C&*^%^%$ &^**^%$% &*^%$^&*&^*&^ - My actual full name-)

Phoebe: "But I just like to call you Cj."

Me: "I guess they could just call you Mrs. Cj."

Phoebe: "Nah... I'm just Mrs. Phoebe ( My actual last name).

Phoebe: "Cause we're married now."

Me: "What was your last name before we got married?"

Phoebe: "I never had one silly, you just called me "gardevoir" until you gave me a nickname."

Phoebe: "I was so glad you decided to name me."

Phoebe: "Almost as glad as I was when you said you loved me for the first time."

Phoebe: "You might not know it Cj, but its a big event for a pokemon to be named."

Me: "Oh really?"

Phoebe: "Mhm, it was the only time in the game the player actually interacted with us, now that I look back. It was the only way we could truly know if he or she really appreciated us."

Phoebe: "Until I finally managed to establish contact with you."

We kissed.

Me: "Which led to us, finally meeting for the first time."

Phoebe: "Cj, you've given me more then I could ever dream of."

Me: "And you've made all my dreams come true."

We kissed again.

Me: "I love you honey."

Phoebe: "I love you too Cj."

Well anyway after that incident and a little reminiscing, we stayed there for awhile, expecting the strange man to come back, we got bored.

Phoebe: "Cj, how long are we going to stay here, I'm bored."

Me: " I am too, but isn't that guy supposed to come back with the documents and stuff?"

Phoebe: "They found us once, they can find us again."

Me: "True."

So we left the rest stop and headed westward.

Me: "You know at some point I got to replace that window."

Phoebe: "Or you could just get a new car."

Me: "No this replace this baby? Never."

Phoebe: "You forgot your truck fast enough."

Me: "Well that was pretty much stock and extremely common, this thing is a one of a kind, masterpiece created by the former owner, who if I remember right, asked us to take care of it in his suicide note."

Phoebe: "Yeah so?"

Me: "We should respect his wish don't you think?"

Phoebe: "Yeah."

Me: "Unfortunately there isn't many skylines in america."

Me: "Fortunately, most of the ones that are, are probably right here in California."

Phoebe: "Or, I could just make that government guy pull a few more strings."

Me: "Honey, I like the way you think."

Phoebe: "I know."

Well we kept heading westward, we eventually came across a large group of skarmorys resting in a field.

Phoebe: "Should we kill them?"

Me: "I don't know, they don't seem to be causing any harm."

Me: "Honey, I think pokemon are as part of this world now as real animals are, people are just going to have to accept that. The scythers were a pain, but these skarmory aren't causing any harm."

Phoebe: "Ok."

A helicopter approached, it was a UH64 blackhawk.

Me: "What the?"

Phoebe: "Whats that?"

The helicopter landed in a field, nearby the highway, scairing off all the skarmory. The screaching of multiple skarmory, combined with the whirring of the helicopter created a very loud and unpleasant noise. A large door on the side slid open, and out stepped the same man we met earlier, along with several armed guards wielding M16s.

Me: "Great, he brought friends."

I lowered the window.

Phoebe: "Did you get the documents yet Robert?"

Strange Man: "How the hell did you know my real name?"

Phoebe: "I'm psychic remember?"

Strange Man: "Um, yes, unfortunately, Um, here you are, birth certificate, Social Security number, everything you need for the government to count you as human, and a citizen of the united states of america."

He handed them to her.

Me: "Honey can I see those for a second?"

Phoebe: "Um sure."

Me: "It says you were born in Nebraska in 1994."

Phoebe: "So what does that mean?"

Me: "According to this your 19 years old."

Me: "Your now the same age as me."

Phoebe: "What no way!"

Strange Man: "Well if we used her real birth date, she wouldn't be old enough to be legally married now would she?"

Me: "Um no, good point."

Strange Man: "And here is your marriage license, and everything else."

Strange Man: "Now are you going to join our organization or not?"

Phoebe: "What do you think Cj?"

Me: "Well, he did keep his word."

Me: "I suppose it couldn't hurt."

Strange Man: "I suppose we could also fix your car as well."

Me: "SOLD!"

Strange Man: "Good, Now both of you, grab your pokemon and come with me."

Me: "What about the car?"

Strange Man: "We'll have it towed back to headquarters."

Me: "Fine, cmon honey lets go."

Phoebe: "Ok."

So we collected our pokemon, left the car, and got on the helicopter, with the guards and the strange man. After about an hour long helicopter ride, the chopper finally landed again, in front of a large warehouse, in the middle of a very large, but abandoned city. Several tanks and humvees were parked out front, and a few guards were on patrol.

Strange man: "Welcome to our HQ, your wife already figured out my name is Robert so, yeah."

Robert: "Please follow me inside."

We followed him, the large doors of the warhouse opened, with the aid of a machine. Revealing a completely empty interior.

Me: "Are you crazy? There's nothing in here!"

Robert: "Wait for it."

He went over to the right wall and pressed a button, the entire floor of the warhouse lowered into the ground like an elevator, taking us to a large underground complex. It looked like something out the men in black movies, there were several people walking around. Many of them were scientist. There were even some pokemon. On the northmost wall there was a gigantic Tv screen, featuring a gigantic map of North America.

Robert: "Here we monitor all the earth's weather via satelites, looking for anomalies in the patterns, which are most likely caused by powerful rogue pokemon. "

Robert: "We can also bring up satelite imagery of anywhere on earth. To positevely identify what pokemon the rogue is and so we can determine how to counter it."

Robert: "This entire operation, is relatively new, and so far, you two are the only "trainers" we have discovered who's strength has been proven."

Phoebe: "Cj I don't like this place, my powers aren't working right."

Robert: "Um is she ok?"

Me: "She's fine she just doesn't do well with metal."

Robert: "Well anyway, whenever an anomaly is found, you two will be dispatched to handle it, understood?"

Me: "Yes understood."

Robert: "Meanwhile, accomadations have been made for the two of you, please follow me."

Phoebe: "I don't want to stay here, I can't use my powers."

Me: "No you just can't read minds."

Phoebe: "Yeah, but still."

Me: "Honey, its probably best you don't know what these guys are thinking most of the time anyway, ok?"

-dissapointed- Phoebe: "Ok..."

10 minutes later.

Robert led us into a very luxurious apartment, still in the underground complex. It was underwater even, you could see fish swim by the windows, it was cool.

Me: "Awesome."

Phoebe: "I don't like it, atleast I can still read minds in here though."

Me: "Whats wrong with it?"

Phoebe: "What if, I don't know, a sharpedo comes through the window and we all drown while it eats us."

Me: "What?"

Robert: "This glass -taps on window- is 10ft thick and completely bullet proof, a blue whale could ram it at full speed and it still wouldn't break."

Robert: "Well thats all I'm allowed to show you, Theres a computer in the corner with Wifi access, and there's a machine in the lab copied from the one you discovered inside the pokemon center in Nagoya. The programs off the computers there were also installed on this one."

Robert: "You two are familiar with the programs right?"

Me: "Yeah."

Robert: "Well then, thats it, dinner's at six, see you two then."

Me: "Ok."

He walked out of the apartment and closed the door behind him.

Phoebe sat on the bed, she looked at me so solemnly.

Me: "Whats wrong?"
Phoebe: "I don't like this place Cj, we shouldn't of come here."

Me: "Oh honey, calm down, atleast we don't have to worry about the nat guard trying to kill us anymore."

Phoebe: "Yeah."

Me: "We're still together."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Me: "We just have to keep fighting a little longer until the situation gets under control ok?"

Phoebe: "Oh Cj, how long will that take?"

Me: "I don't know sweety, I don't know."

We kissed.

Phoebe: "Atleast we don't have to sleep in the car ever again."

Me: "Yeah, we no longer have to worry about not getting anything to eat either."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Me: "Think about it honey, a year or so from now, we could finally have a normal life together, a normal house, normal friends, not having something trying to kill us almost everyday..."

Phoebe: "Kids?"

Me: "- sighs- Honey, we talked about this before."

Me: "And we still don't know if I can get you pregnant."

Phoebe: "What about adoption?"

Me: "Honey, its a nice thought, but still no."

Phoebe: "Why not?"

Me: "You want to know the truth?"

Phoebe: "Yes I want the truth, I want to know why your so opposed to having kids."

Me: "Because, I enjoy being with you, and kids, well they would get in the way of that, and everything else because they cost money, and I doubt your ever going to get a job, and what do I get out of it? Nothing."

Phoebe: "But Cj, we both have a job now."

Me: "We're not getting paid, we just got a cool place to stay and free food, so yeah."

Me: "And this job isn't going to last forever, after all this I'll need to get a real job, you know that."

Me: "Look honey, just look, kids cost money, there is no getting around that, and while I have no doubts you would be a great mother, the more I have to work, the less time I get to spend with you, and there's only so much of my life to spend, and I want to spend as much of it with you as possible. Not having to work to support kids I don't want."

Phoebe: "I'm sorry Cj, I didn't realize."

Me: "What it all comes down to, sweetheart, is I love you so much, I have no love left to spare on kids or anyone else, understood."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "If thats really what you want honey, then I'm ok with it."

Me: "Really?"

Phoebe: "Of course, I love you too Cj."

Phoebe: "And I'd rather spend more time with you than with kids as well."

Me: "I knew you would understand."

Me: "I love you baby."

Phoebe: "I love you too Cj."

A few hours later, we went to dinner, Robert showed us to the cafeteria, it was huge. Me and Phoebe sat across from eachother. There was plenty of food, hamburgers, fried chicken, steak, stuff I haven't seen in a long time. I couldn't decide what I wanted, I haven't had chicken or steak in forever. so I got a few pieces of chicken and a fillet of steak, and a cream soda, Jone's no less, now thats something I really haven't seen in forever.

Phoebe: "What should I get Cj?"

Me: "I don't know honey, whatever looks good to you."

Phoebe: "Ok."

After dinner, or more in the middle of dinner, a loud alarm sounded throught the base, red lights flashed, and everyone rushed out of the cafeteria to the room with the giant tv. We followed them unsure of whats going on. Robert was standing in front of the tv screen with a microphone in hand, while lots of eager scientist as well as a few guards were questioning him.

Robert: "Allright, this our first mission, all of you settle down, this one is in Japan, look at this. "

The tv screen zoomed in on some area in Japan, I couldn't recognize it, the area was all frozen over.

Random scientist: "Is that a..?"

Robert: "Yes, it is."
Robert: "According to the latest satelite imagery, a giant castle made of ice has been constructed in Japan, obviously by a powerful pokemon."

Phoebe: "Japan?"

Phoebe: "Cj? Do you think?"

Me: "No, there's no way they would of survived."

Robert: "Excuse me who survived?"

Me: "The wife of this gengar we killed."

Robert: "The same one from Victorville?"

Me: "Yes he tried to take over Tokyo as well, but we finally killed him."

Me: "Anyway this tower exploded and she was supposedly inside."

Me: "We just figured she was killed in the explosion and inevitable collapse of the building as well as all the other occupants."

Robert: "Hmmmm, is this who you are talking about?"

The tv zoomed in further onto Mismagious.

Phoebe: "Oh no."

Me: "Um, yeah."

Dammit for once just once, could somebody stay dead?

Robert: "Hmm, there also appears to be a Xatu, and an Alakazam with her as well."

Robert: "You two, your first assignment is to destroy all three as well as the pokemon responsible for making the castle."

Xatu looked at the camera, then the tv went to static.

Robert: "What the?"

Phoebe: "He jammed the transmission."

Me: "I guess they discovered we were spying on them."

Robert: "Go outside, a chopper is being arranged to take you to the nearest airport where you two will board a C130 arranged to take you to japan."

Me: "Um, she doesn't like flying."

Phoebe: "Cj, thats only when your the pilot."

Everyone within ear shot laughed at this.

Me: "Oh, ok then."

Phoebe: "Come on, lets go."

Robert: "Good luck you two."

Me: "Wait!"

Phoebe: "What?"

Robert: "Yeah what's wrong?"

Me: "Where is my skyline?"

Robert: "Its parked right outside, now go, get on that chopper."

So we got back on the giant elevator and went back to the surface. We walked outside, there was another blackhawk helicopter, its rotors were just starting to spool up. I noticed that my skyline really was there. I looked at it before I got on the chopper.

Phoebe: "Hey look Cj, they already replaced the window."

Me: "Good."

So after another short helicopter ride, we arrived at an airport, a C130 was idling on the runway.

Me: "That must be our plane."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

We walked towards the plane, its cargo door was lowered, we simply just walked into the back, the cargo door closed and the pilot told us to strap ourselves in, once again, we were headed to Japan, to finish what we started.
