Chapter 19: Minami's Past
Minami arrives at the Sinnoh Region, and with Alain following her to make sure she is fine. They are now on top of the Spear Pillar, Minami asks, "Hey you, do you know this place?"
"This is the Spear Pillar, the place where Team Galactic tried to control Dialga and Palkia..." Alain says. "Why are we here?"
"This place is special, as it contains the Psychic Gem that I need to find." Minami says coldly, not trying to warming up to Alain. "But we will do nothing here."
"Why?" Alain asks.
"Because it will find us eventually." Minami says. "Of all the Legendary Pokemon, Psychic Type Pokemon consists the most of them. The Psychic Gem will be arriving here after a while with the meteorite."
Minami then takes out a Pokeball and then she sends out Rapidash. She neighs as Minami pets the Pokemon. Alain watches how she is happy with her Pokemon, and then he decides to sit by and takes out his Charizard, also doing the same.
"Hey, you. From what you saw I was doing, you maybe wonder why I hated humans, right?" Minami asks.
Alain says, "That has flashed in my mind for a while, but you never told me."
Minami sits besides her Rapidash and says, "I should have been just like you guys, enjoying the world, learning Pokemon and have fun with them. But Professor Oak has to separate us. Only for the power we are holding..."
Alain notices her face showing anger. "Because of it, I was sent to my uncle Giovanni's place."
"Giovanni? But isn't that..." Alain gasps.
"Yeah, Team Rocket's boss. I was forced to join Team Rocket. I was forced to witness how they steal other people's Pokemon, how they do experiments on them and how they killed others. I believed that all of it isn't true, and there are still good humans who will stop this group. But in the end, due to Jessie, James and a talking Meowth, they manage to expand their territory throughout the eight regions, and the suffering becomes more and more. Until Brother comes and saves me from the hellhole."
"So it must be hard for you to be in the Team Rocket...in truth, I was the same." Alain says.
"Liar. You are willing joining Team Flare, you ruined my brother's chance of becoming the Kalos Champion because you cheated. Not only that, you almost let Brother being a controlled person by that Lysandre."
Alain wants to retort, but he fails as Minami says, "You said that you are doing this for Marin and her Chespie, but it was your fault for dragging them into this. Not only that, your actions causes those traitors to break Brother down. If you didn't cheat, maybe Brother won't be betrayed by Serena, those evil traitors won't kill Mother as well."
Alain lowers his head and he says, "You're right...I was so stupid. I fell for their plans and even hurt the ones I didn't mean to hurt..." Then he shows a determined face and says, "But that is why I am going to correct it, I am going to do whatever I can to this world."
Minami glares at Alain, she says a lot of truth in order to break him down, but why is he still motivated? Just why?
"Is this why Trenor and Insey wanted to spare some humans? Because of their determination?" Minami thinks. But she shakes her head and says, "Suit yourself. Do whatever you like."
She looks at the sky and she says, "Now it is time." Then a meteorite falls from the space and lands in front of them, Minami breaks the meteorite open and finds the Psychic Gem inside it.
"Two gems acquired, now we just need to get the Fairy Gem." Minami says as she hops on her Rapidash.
"I want to ask you another question." Alain says as he is riding his Charizard. "I want to know, Serena is one of your spies, right? But why is she joining your team?"
Minami says, "It is true that I despise her, since she hurt my brother's feelings. But Brother couldn't hate her, he loved her so much to hate her. Even though we agree to let her join in the team, she is still a bomb in the group as who knows she will betray him again."
"But Serena is being controlled by those traitors, that is what Lillie said..." Alain says.
"She is right, Serena was being controlled, but that doesn't changed the fact that she made Ash love and hate her at the same time." Minami says. "Love is confusing. And come to think of it, I am glad that I was alone."
"Alone? What do you mean by that?" Alain asks.
"If you want to know, we split into six groups, each group consists of two people, except for me, I am the lone wolf." Minami says. "But it doesn't matter. I know what I am doing and I won't let anyone stop me."
Alain says, "You need a companion. Or you won't understand what it feels like."
"Shut up, I am not going to be lectured by you." Minami says as they gallop away.
Here is a new chapter, and this chapter is fun for me to write, but I hope you like it. The next one will be back to Ash and Serena.
