I Don't Own Pokemon
"So I guess you're this N guy that this idiot has been talking about?" I already knew the answer I just figured I would ask to just make it show that I really don't care. But it seemed that the kid, really he was still a teen only probably a few years older than my body's age was, didn't seem to understand I wanted to do nothing with him at the moment as he just nodded and said.
"Yes, I am the king of Team Plasma, I heard that you've stolen a Pokemon that I wished to meet" Stolen? I personally don't think stealing something stolen counts as stealing from the ones that stole it in the first place. Not to mention, stolen? I haven't stolen anything, muchless a Pokemon, I would rather suffer through talking to that idiotic grunt from before for like a week straight before I would do that.
"Ok, I didn't 'steal' Zekrom, I'll totally admit that I took the Dark Orb from you people, which you all stole by the way. No offense but I don't trust anyone with a cult following them to have any kind of connection to a Legendary" I mean, I wouldn't trust anyone with a Pokemon that powerful just in general, sure that wasn't painting myself in the best light, something that N seemed t happy to point out.
"So you don't trust anyone with a great power but yourself? All your doing is being a hypocrite, not to mention you forcing such a noble Pokemon into a pokeball to begin with. You make me sick" Honestly that self-righteousness is what's going to make me sick, so with that I just rolled my eyes and said.
"Hell yeah I trust me a massive amount more than you, you all act like a bloody cult. And don't bring up that pokeball bull again, I heard enough of that stupidity from the guy over there. I've asked Zekrom plenty of times if they would like to be released, they're the one that keeps telling me that they're fine. So shut up about stuff that you clearly know nothing about" He looked like I had smacked him, like no one informed him that someone might not think he's right, or that if he spewed enough words I would fall to his ideals.
"I don't believe you! Why would just a free and powerful Pokemon like Zekrom allow a trainer to catch them!" He is clearly a teen going through puberty I can say that with certainty, his sudden and misplaced anger was kind of a clear sign of that, not to mention the stubbornness and refusing to admit that he might not be right.
"Because it's about respect not some twisted thing you think this is. Zekrom respects that I'm stronger than they are with my team, so they gave me another unwanted title. Hero of Ideals for my trouble and now I'm just kind of stuck with them. Besides, they've only been in their pokeball like twice since they've started to join me while traveling around. The only reason why I use the things is because it's convenient when I enter some of the cities that don't like Pokemon running around the place"
He looked at me for a moment like he wasn't sure what to do with that information before shaking his head, before saying with certainty.
"No! You're lying" Why would I do that? This is why fanatics are a headache to deal with, using facts only makes them slow down some, breaking someones beliefs is a headache and usually needs more sublimity than I normally care to deploy. But with stuff like this, where I don't actually care all that bunch then being blunt works as well.
"Why would I do that? I mean there is literally no reason that I would do that" He seemed to think on it for a minute while I noted that there was some movement in the chopper behind him. I was interrupted from piecing together who it probably was, though I still had a good guess, when N called out.
"Because your afraid of Team Plasma forcing you those Pokemon you've captured" I actually laughed, because that was the most ludicrous thing I've heard in a long while, and to be honest it kind of surprised me. I'm normally a lot more composed but those words were just so incorrect that it was hilarious.
"Dude, you could send your entire group at me and I wouldn't bat an eye. I am one of the strongest trainers in the world at the moment, with a team of incredible Pokemon, hell literally a few weeks ago I fought the Legendary we're talking about and that didn't even phase me. Now in fact said Legendary is even helping me out, so what do you think you could realistically do to make me afraid of you?"
He looked at a loss for words as he opened his mouth as I pushed down another small chuckle before Zekrom landed next to me with most of my team quickly joining them. N actually backed up from me as he looked at each of my team for a moment with a look of disbelief on his face. Rolling my eyes as I've already come to a conclusion on that thing he does with Pokemon where he 'understands them' I've spent enough time around an empath to know one when I see one.
"You seem to be under this line of thinking that all trainers disrespect and hurt Pokemon, but what you need to learn is that your wrong. Don't feel to bad, everyone is at one point or another about something. But what you need to do is admit that everyone isn't out to hurt Pokemon and that said Pokemon, only the worst of scum actually do, and trust me those guys I've already done my share of getting rid of them"
And that's the look of someones view of reality shattering like glass, N actually almost fell down as he took another step backwards. I would have felt bad but I mean, I wasn't kidding when I said the guy was like a cult leader, even if he didn't really know it. He needs a wake up call, and those aren't usually the nicest, so if anything I'm probably doing him a favor. Of course that's when Ghetsis, who I correctly assumed to be the one in the chopper called out.
"Don't believe his lies! You know that people like him are the worst kinds of humans about there! All trainers are scum, don't forget what you wish to accomplish!" Looking over towards the chopper, I looked at the man for a moment while wondering how many charges I could trump up that could pass long enough to get him in jail, I'm a good lair so I think I could manage it, but I'm not all that certain. Also, brilliant, N is now having a midlife crisis in front of me at the age of like fourteen.
"Look if it helps you realize who's telling the truth at the matter then I'm a trainer and I'm not even human" I knew why I was saying it, but I also wondered what were the chances that most of the people in the world come from the villain Teams from the video games, it's just one of those things I guess. Still, as I watched as N's head whip around to look at me I just dropped my illusion and said.
"You've a empath, specifically for Pokemon, probably some weird skill from having some natural skill in Aura. To bad for you I don't exactly feel emotions to all that extreme in amount which is probably what let me slide under your radar for this long, at least so says Riolu but then again I think at this point she just likes to call me a sociopath, no matter how incorrect that statement is" As I finished I looked over towards said Pokemon in question and chose to not acknowledge her huffing in resentment. Pulling my illusion back in place I continued.
"So, can you leave now? You probably need to think about everything I just said, if you want to fight or whatever then can we just get this over with now. I really want to get back to my vacation some time today" I feel like I'm way to flippant about this but really I just couldn't be bothered trying be the nice guy in this situation. The whole thing Plasma thing in the games lead to a good story.
But in actual reality I think the entire thing is kind of stupid, though I think that for most of the plot lines in the games now that they are stuff have I have to deal with on an annoyingly regular bases. Still, back to what was happening around me, I watched as Ghetsis seemed to be really holding back from shouting at N to do whatever he does to get the trust of nearby Pokemon, but held back, probably knowing that I would just shut that down hard.
"I, I need time to think" N finally said something, so I just looked back over to him and nodded. Good I really didn't want to tear up this part of the beach in a battle. Looking back over to Ghetsis who was fuming about probably thinking about who he was going to try and re-convince N that humans are the root of all evil or whatever he thinks would get him back on his side.
"By the way, who are you, because you aren't in that idiotic looking armor like that grunt over there. So your probably someone important to this whole thing. Did you have anything to do with that whole business with the stone being stolen in the first place? Because if so, then you've been the source for at least five headaches" Probably more to be honest but I'm being kind.
"I am the one who raised N, he won't be tricked by your lies" Oh good, so he just outright said it, so I don't have to beat around the bush any, that's actually quite nice.
"You know that most of a kid's ideals are learned from there parents, depending on how they're raised of course. I'm not the best example, but still the point stands. If his view of the world is flawed then it's probably because you made it that way. So sorry if I don't take what your saying as anything but probable lies. Besides, N's the empath, he's probably now gotten a hold of what I'm feeling which means he knows I haven't lied once, so he knows that when I say that you probably brainwashed him to think this way that it's the truth"
Empaths are great for this reason, I've mentioned it with Riolu, but as long as they know your telling the truth they don't think your hiding anything. Anyway, N had just dropped to the ground, as I frowned a little bit as I noted that maybe I should have tried to be a bit nicer or less blunt. I think the effect would be the same, but this probably isn't painting me in a good picture if I ever have to deal with these guys again in the future, well I can't really do anything about that now.
"I can tell that you two probably have a lot to talk about so I'm just going to go" I really should try and do something to deal with Ghetsis, but I doubt that N will take that lying down no matter how much I've damaged his trust in the man. And I really don't want to deal with another organization coming at me for some arbitrary reason. And even if I did haul him off to prison then he would probably get out, because I don't think he's actually done anything wrong yet, then I would have to deal with that.
So now I just got to hope I've just kick started N's whole revaluation arc about who he is and what he is trying to accomplish isn't right. While also hoping that this will hopefully cut the legs out from under Ghetsis when he tries to take control of Team Plasma and make it into some crappy off brand Team Rocket. If I'm right the maybe N will actually turn his group into something productive, wouldn't that be a nice change of pace.
So this was a little anticlimactic, but N isn't a fighter, much less one that would fight Kyu to take his Pokemon by force, he would probably revolt at the idea in fact. So when it came to who was the better speaker of the two, well, Kyu is better at arguing and more than rude enough to not pull any punches. Most of his words in fact were used to make it so that Team Plasma might just straight up disband because he forced N's eyes open. Not all big enemy encounters have to lead to a battle, Kyu is plenty good at talking to do what he did here. Plus a battle would have been even more disappointing to be honest, I mean Ghetsis might pose a change if he had his in game team on hand but even then, Kyu has a team of practically Champion Pokemon nowadays along with Zekrom on his side, it wouldn't be much of a fight. Anyway See ya.
