Chapter Fifty-Five:
The Doctor! Part 2
Afternoon (4:21 P.M.), Doctor Sirius's Lab
Jackie's expression went blank, "Wut?"
Sirius took a deep breath before looking back at Jackie, "You heard me,"
"Ooookay," he slowly nodded, "You're saying that Professor Cherry broke your heart… please, explain,"
The scientist sighed before continuing, "Very well, it all started many years ago. I was a gifted intellectual, and I had always been interested in the field of Pokémon research. So as soon as I got out of high school, I decided to find other Pokémon researchers to work with. Eventually, I joined Okam's very own Professor Cherry in his Pokémon research by becoming his assistant. I soon became enamored by him: his handsome visage, great intellect, wonderful personality… and that luxurious pink hair!" he shivered, "We worked together, making several great discoveries and breakthroughs in our studies on Pokémon, becoming close friends, but then… it happened…"
Jackie blinked in confusion, "What? What happened?"
Sirius's eyes grew cold as he threw his fist to the side, "WHAT DO YOU THINK?!" another vein bulged on his forehead as he ranted, "I CONFESSED MY FEELINGS, I TOLD HIM THAT I LOVED HIM, AND HE REJECTED ME!" he took several deep breaths to steady himself, "We never spoke again after that. So, dejected and heartbroken, I decided to study abroad, eventually settling on a college in Sinnoh, where I took an internship that brought me to a whole new world of knowledge, but, in the end, that didn't exactly turn out very well, and I soon returned home to Okam, where I joined Team Universal after accepting a glorious proposal from Grandmaster Andromeda, bless his soul."
Jackie, having never experienced love before, somewhat insensitively replied, "So? You got rejected, that happens to a lot of people, but there's a still lot of fish in the sea, why didn't you just go and try to find someone else?"
Sirius's eyes narrowed in rage, "Find someone else?! WHY YOU! GRAAH!" he stamped his foot on the ground repeatedly in anger, "Do you have any idea how I felt? Do you know nothing of the pain of heartbreak or the humiliation of rejection?!"
Jackie shook his head earnestly, "Nope, not a thing. I've never had a girlfriend, and I've never ever been in love before."
He blinked in surprise. Wow! I should really get a girlfriend, maybe after I finish my journey. His shoulders drooped. But I don't know any girls around my age in this region. He blinked again. Hey, I could always go for Hazel! She's nice and cute. Rather flat though, of course small size does have its benefits…
Then again, it is rather early, and I haven't seen her in a bit, so I should probably keep my options open, after all, there are still tons of fish left in the sea to meet and get acquainted with. That reminds me, I wonder how Inu Endo is doing? I haven't seen him in a while. I hope he's alright.
He blinked a third time as he remembered something. Hey, wasn't I doing something? It was something really important, but what was it? Hmm?
"HELLO?!"
"Huh?" Jackie blinked as he focused back on Doctor Sirius, "What?"
A third vein bulged on Sirius's forehead as he flew into another bout of rage, "WERE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!"
"No," Jackie shook his head apologetically, "Sorry, I zoned out there for a minute. It happens,"
Sirius groaned and face-palmed so hard that it sounded like he was slapping himself, "Ugh, this is why I prefer men: they can't make kids together,"
Jackie blinked in confusion, "What?"
Sirius grimaced. I'm this close to murdering you with my own f*cking hands. Huh, this must be how Milky Way feels on a daily basis.
"So," Jackie slowly nodded, "You joined Team Universal to further your research and get revenge on Professor Cherry, who you're gay for?"
Sirius's shoulders drooped as he let out a sigh, "Yes, I guess that's pretty much the gist of it,"
"That's it? Huh?" Jackie shrugged, "Honestly, I was expecting a little more,"
Sirius blinked in surprise, "What?"
"I was expecting more," Jackie repeated, "You know, some kind of government conspiracy or something involving aliens, but instead you joined Team Universal out of heartbreak. That's not interesting at all,"
Sirius's eyes widened in rage, "HOW DARE YOU MOCK MY START OF DARKNESS! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Jackie smirked as he drew back, "Fine, but you'll have to fight my Pokémon first!"
Sirius smirked back, "I think I'll leave the fighting to my own Pokémon, but after that's done, I'll gladly take care of you myself,"
Jackie grinned. I can't believe I just did that! Maybe I've been around Hero a little too long; he's starting to rub off on me. He frowned. I honestly don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Sirius glared at him in hatred, "THERE YOU GO AGAIN, ZONING OUT ON ME!"
"Huh?" Jackie blinked in surprise, "Oh, sorry. Like I said, it happens,"
"Grr!" growling, Sirius continued to fume, "Why can't you just pay attention?!"
Jackie shrugged, "I said I was sorry."
"Well 'sorry' doesn't cut it!" Sirius spat.
"Geez," Jackie sighed, "Why are you so sensitive?"
Sirius seethed with fury, taking deep breaths to keep himself from creating a mental explosion out of anger, "I-I F-F*CKING HATE YOU!"
"(HELLO?! Are you guys done yet?!)"
"Huh?" they looked to their Pokémon.
The shiny grumping was lying on her back, unconscious.
Mary was sitting on her fallen enemy's belly, legs crossed as she drank from a cup of tea, "(Wow, Inferna was right; you guys do talk too much.)"
"WHAT?!" Sirius roared in shock, "How is this possible?! How d-did you defeat my Grumpig?!"
Mary shrugged as she continued drinking her tea, "(I did it while you guys were talking. We tried waiting for you to finish as usual, but it took too long and I decided to just finish this while you were still at it.)"
Author's Note:
New chapter, done.
P.S. I have nothing against gay people or any people really. The only people I really have anything against are racists, sexists, pedos, rapists, serial killers, internet trolls, bullies, my evil half half-sister half cousin, bla, bla, bla…
-RGGod, out!
