I Don't Own Pokemon
If you're wondering why I'm uploading so much today it's because I'm going out of town so I won't be able to post these later so I'm doing them all now just spaced out a bit. At least one more should come up after this.
I felt myself sigh as I watched Ash, come down after about an hour of waiting, with the three sisters. Standing up I placed Eevee over my shoulder, so she didn't fall out of my lap while I stood up. Making my way over towards the four of them I spoke up.
"Oh, you're here too Ash? Whatever, can I get my badge now?" It seemed that they finally noticed my presence. While the sisters seemed to be surprised I was still here, Ash on the other hand seemed confused as to why I was here to begin with.
"Huh? Kyu, are you here to challenge the Gym trainers too?" I was about to give my answer when I saw an object get flung at my head. Reaching up, I grabbed it out of the air without to much trouble, looking down at it, my silent guess was answered as I looked down at the Cascade Badge in my hand.
"Like, we don't feel like anymore battling today so, you two can just, like, have the badges" I raised an eyebrow at that. The way she worded it, they acted like I didn't crush the three of them barely an hour ago. They acted like it was their choice to not battle, not that their Pokemon were currently being healed at the Pokemon Center a few blocks away.
Still the eyebrow was the only response I gave them as I moved to place the badge into my case while they were convincing Ash to just take the badge. It was, of course, then that Misty called out to all of us to stop while jumping down from the bleachers above the pool and slapped the my case out of my hands.
I just stared down at my now empty hands for a second, before said hands clenched into fists. The only reason I currently wasn't beating down on a preteen girl was because I didn't want to have Eevee watch that. So I dragged up my naturally excellent self-control and manged to not say some very rude things instead said.
"What, the hell, is wrong with you" I said it as calm as I could but it seemed that my voice pierced into the argument that was taking place. Misty turned to me and flinched from whatever look was on my face as it was already taxing to control my voice muchless my normally controlled facial expressions. After a moment she replied.
"Well, what's wrong with you! Have you no sense of self worth as a trainer to not properly earn your badges?" It was then that her sisters giggled behind her which made her look back at them in confusion but I didn't really care about that bit, no I was currently beating my rage down while calmly and rationally explaining the situation.
"Oh, I have a sense of self worth as a trainer. I mean, even after they tried to make me not fight them, I demanded that they battled me for a badge. You know, that piece of metal that's really really hard to replace, that you just slapped out of my hand, along with the other valuable badge I have in that case.
You know that badge I just had to wait an hour to get even after I won my battle because your sisters were being petty that I beat all three of them and made me wait till their show was done to get it. You know that badge? And that's not even mentioning the case itself which I custom ordered up in Unova and is one of the only items I have on me that reminds me of home. But no you're completely right no sense of self worth"
Ok, so maybe calmly and rationally was asking for a bit much, and I really shouldn't have felt that good for just pouring load after load of guilt onto the girl in front of me, but I really needed to let out some of that stress, I hadn't been able to get any proper sleep in almost three days after all. Still maybe I went a little to far, I'm not sure humans should or actual could be that shade of red.
I just rolled my eyes and bent down and picked up the case, which now that I was looking at it had a crack on it. Bloody brilliant, I just sighed as I placed a hand over my eyes before moving choosing to forget about it. I didn't actually get it from Unova nor did it remind me of home. But it did symbolize my teams hard work.
Still I choose to moved past that and looked around the floor for the two badges that were now missing. Luckily Eevee spotted the Boulder Badge, while I found the Cascade Badge myself. Looking over them for a second I nodded to myself before placing into the case once more and snapped it shut.
I moved past Misty and her sisters completely ignoring her apologies, as I walked out of the gym. Of course, that's when I saw that those two idiot Rockets were wheeling up that giant vacuum to the side of the building and were currently attaching the hose to it. Looking to my very right where Eevee was once again sitting I just pointed at them and said.
"Those two tried to steal some Pokemon awhile back. You remember me talking about how that Officer attack me, right? Well those two are the ones I told her about" She seemed to understand that was serious. She seemed to think they were actually a threat which was cute but I choose not to say anything, after all she really needed some kind of vengeance on those who hurt Pokemon. She never really got any from her old trainer.
"What should we do then, Sir?" I looked at the group for a moment thinking of a plan before something came to me. Turning back to Eevee I explained to her what I was planning.
"I've have Pidgeotto Whirlwind them into a corner or something. Once that happens you along with him are going to play guard duty for a bit. Just make sure they don't go anywhere. They were pretty weak last time, so you two shouldn't have any problems" She gave me a nodded to which I responded to by sending out my Bird and explained the plan to him.
To say the least, they hadn't gotten anymore competent over the last few weeks. Within about twenty minutes they were already being carted off to jail once more while I was having a conversation with Jenny.
"You know, I almost didn't believe you when you said you found the thieves. But boy am I sure glad I did" I was to, it would have been annoying and tedious to have to drag them all the way to the police department which was about half way across the city.
"No problem, I'm more than glad to help out. Those two really shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets free" That was a lie, well not entirely, but the main reason is that it's easier to just send them to jail than have the off chance of running into them every few days.
"Still, we can't really offer anything this time like that Waterstone you got from the Viridian Police. But if you need anything just call and I'll what strings I can pull. Really you don't know how much paperwork and time you've saved me" A favor from a police department huh? That's more than enough reward.
"Like I said it was no problem. Anyway is their anything left I have to do, or can I head out? Sorry to rush but I kinda expected to be half way to Vermilion by now" She just shook her head and with that I was finally free to go. So with one last nod to Jenny I turned and began to make my way out of town.
The path to get to Vermilion City was a long one, and I mean long. About three times the time needed to get there than the total time to get from Pewter to Cerulean. So at the very least it would be two or more weeks of straight walking, after stocking up on items and food I set out.
I'll be honest since coming here and even before that I've never been very good with directions and considering I still had yet to buy a map it was fair to say that it was my fault when after walking for about two weeks battling strangers, training my team, and a lot of walking I some how ended back up at Cerulean.
It was an annoying fact about life but it couldn't be helped, well it could, but I honesty didn't mind the detours. As my Pokemon got even stronger I manged to teach them a few moves also over the period. Luxio managed to figure out Discharge, Pidgeotto learned Wing Attack from evolving but didn't know about it until about two days after.
Misdreavus didn't learn any more moves but she did get much better at using them. But I ran into a snag when it came to Eevee, I knew what move I knew she needed to learn, which was double kick, but for some reason I just didn't like the idea of her using it.
It took about a day after seeing the move before I decided that I was being stupid from a particularly long period of not getting any sleep and had her learn the move over the course of a few days. That didn't mean nothing interesting happened to me either.
It turns out this body does remember memories, their just stored away to a place I can't get to, at least while I'm awake. It seems I dream about this bodies past life, to bad I didn't sleep that often or I might have been able to peice together the proper backstory of mine.
Doesn't mean I didn't learn anything though, turns out my parents are breeders, at least my dad, something that was weird was I had a dad here, I still wasn't really use to that yet. Anyway my dad's a breeder and so that's where I got Luxio's egg from.
Besides that fun tidbit of info and a couple random childhood memories, the only other important information I got was I now remembered Luxio hatching, my parents house phone number, a couple of addresses that I didn't know which went where, and that I had no social life.
The last part was inferred by the fact that every memory I received had me having some kind of book with me or working with my dad, which was still weird, by helping him out with his Pokemon. But all that is besides the point as that didn't change the fact that I was currently holding my head in my hand in frustration.
The reason for that was simple, I had somehow manged to get lost again and went the wrong direction from Cerulean. I went upwards from the city when I should have gone down. And I couldn't even bloody go outside because it was raining on and off all day. Luckily I found a weirdly located Pokemon Center so I wasn't stranded for the night.
Currently I was located in the main lobby sitting at one of the tables, when I heard a voice that sparked a memory. A memory that quickly burned into rage, only for that to not be enough as I heard his annoying voice from over by some couches.
"Eh, I left that weakling Charmander on some rock in the woods, it's probably still there" I looked over at the blue haired kid and I felt something give way in me as I slowly stood up and start my way over their with my hands clenching into fists.
I've gotten way to many request for Charmander, so I hope you all are happy. I should say this now and I'll say it at the start of the next chapter. But this is going to get dark. I mean I'm going to pour on the drama next chapter and this is your warning. It's going to be very important to this story and for Kyu's character, so a little drama won't be to bad. A good story needs some but so far I've kept it mostly lighthearted with some anger problems from Kyu when it comes to Pokemon, and it'll go back to that soon so I recommend you don't drop the story if you don't like the next chapter, but if you do then I wouldn't blame you.
Anyway, See ya
