I Don't Own Pokemon


It had been about a week and a half since I left Fuchsia, and since then not much has really happened. Rockruff managed to get Iron Tail and Iron Defense done to a decent degree, so he was working on speed now on charging the attacks, and also just speed in general, as he was running laps around me, with a big rock on his back, that he made himself.

It wasn't that interesting as far as training goes, but a strong body is needed for Rock types as most of their attacks are counted as Physical, for some reason that I couldn't explain. Still besides the rock pup that was running around me, nothing was really happening, just the two of us walking down a road in the forest.

At least that is what was happening until I was rudely interrupted from my thoughts as someone screamed off in the distance. Looking over at the sound, I glanced back at Rockruff who was also looking at the noise in confusion before sighing, and calling out to him as I began to walk my way towards the sound.

"Drop the rock, we're going to see what's happening" He nodded as I pulled Mismagius' ball off my sash before giving it a toss into the air, as she appeared and looked around for a moment I told her.

"We are going to check something out, you're our back up encase something goes wrong, ok?" I wanted her out mostly as a safety precaution, as while Rockruff was getting stronger, didn't mean I thought he was unbeatable, or that the amount of time he's spent in small battles and mock fights covered all the experience he needed. Anyway my ghost just saluted, before saying.

"Yes sir! Captain sir!" I just rolled my eyes as she dropped into my shadow, afterwards I gave a nod to Rockruff as we picked up pace a little to see what was happening. It only took about a minute of walking before entering a clearing, looking around the area, I noted that there was a big sized rock in the middle. That's when I heard it.

"Just give us the Pokemon ya brat!" Why do these people never learn. Whatever, making my way over to the other side of the rock, I was expecting maybe one or two grunts and a kid on the ground. Or something similar, instead, I left a spike of panic as I looked down at the honchkrow. And that's when I heard it.

"Hyper Beam" I barely looked over my shoulder just long enough to see a man in full black, with two Pokemon besides him, with some people behind the them. Before saying.

"Shadow now" Rockruff and I barely fell into the shadow in time as I listened to a massive explosion ring out as I was deposited on the other side of the clearing, getting a view of the now completely destroyed rock, and was able to the all the grunts in total as they began to walk towards me, with Giovanni staying in the back with his Nidoking and Nidoqueen, as they recharged from their attacks.

I glared across the clearing past the grunts as they all made their way forwards with their cannon fodder Pokemon, because that's what these grunts were, they were the back up if I didn't get hit by the Hyper Beam. Giovanni's using them to stall, well I wasn't going to have that. Reaching down to my belt I pulled off three balls.

One of which I used to return Rockruff, he just wasn't ready for something like this. Placing my pup's ball back into his slot, I tossed the other two balls into the air, sending out Luxray and Pidgeotto. As they appeared in front of me and saw the grunts, Pidgeotto took off into the air while Luxray got ready to pounce, at least until I called out.

Pidgeotto you and Mismagius will handle the grunts, clear us a path. Luxray we're attacking the boss, get ready for a big fight" And with that I began walking forwards as my shadow was vacated. Still walking fowards I ingored the grunts issuing attack orders at me, as Pidgeotto started up a Twister which started to knock around all the low level Pokemon on the field.

Before dragging the Twister to the left forcing the grunts and Pokemon towards that direction as well, clearing me a path as we continued to walk towards Giovanni who looked almost uncaring as his grunts were thrown around as rag-dolls we squared off about twenty feet apart, I noted his two Pokemon were ready for a fight, no longer recharging, before the Rocket Boss spoke.

"I should have done this ages ago, long before you could become such a big problem, it's something I'll have to remedy later, the damage you did while not inconsequential, is no real set back in the scheme of things" Even as he said that he didn't order an attack, so I took it as he wanted me to speak, so I did.

"You probably should have, I mean if you did, then you wouldn't be losing right now" He didn't make any outward show that my words effected him but I didn't need it. No matter what he said, the damage I did was a bit more that inconsequential, it's why he was here now, and not just having someone else do this, he needed to make sure I wouldn't be a problem any longer.

"Please as if such a sad little mindless-beast as you could do little more than irritate me, that's why I'm here, to show you why humans are superior to your pathetic species in every way" Really? That's the best he could come up with, I've been told way worst in my life for that to get close to annoying me, still, I just wanted to get this stupid organization destroyed, so instead of replying I just said.

"Luxray, Iron Tail on the nidoqueen" And like that battle started as I watched as Luxray slammed his tail into the nidoqueen sending it backwards before Giovanni called out.

"Nidoking, Mega Punch" The Pokemon pulled his fist backwards and right as he was about to release the punch outwards I called out behind me, as I noted that there wasn't any sound of a Twister anymore.

"Pidgeotto, Wing Attack" My speedy bird, seemed to appear in front of the nidoking and slammed his wing into his head making the attack fail as the nidoking seemed to just hold his ground, as he teetered before not falling over, Judging from the speed of the attack means that he had a few stacks of Agility up, good.

"Now throw her away with Twister. Luxray you follow up with a Quick Attack into Iron Tail" Giovanni barely showed any reaction as my Pokemon rushed and hit both of there opponents, though he seemed to have a right as he called out quickly afterwards, once they were farther away.

"Nidoqueen, Earthquake. Nidoking Ice Beam" He had the same idea as I had, get the Pokemon away from us, so they could use their more powerful attacks without us getting hit by the aftereffects. Still, his Pokemon were more like sentries, they hd the most power while not moving, mine were the opposite.

"Dodge Pidgeotto. Luxray jump onto the Nidoqueen and use Ice Fang" I already knew as Luxray's jaw pierced his teeth into the nidoqueen's hide, that he would win, so I focused my attention on my bird as he moved around the Ice beam in the air before calling out.

"Start barraging it with Air Cutters, and make sure you're out of it's range" He would win, I could already tell, which was worrying me. He should be stronger than this, something was off. That's when I looked back at the eighth gum leader and saw him getting closer than I would like. He was also holding something, really this was going to become a fistfight?

I moved backwards as the stick was jabbed into the air I was just occupying, as a crackling sound of electricity was let off at the tip. Oh fun, reaching forwards I grabbed his arm that was holding the weapon, only scream out in pain as a second one was pressed against my stomach.

I could feel my illusion pulse under the pain, but I forced it to hold, as I brought my fist up and punched him across the jaw. I could feel my body try and move forwards on its own to continue the assault but I wan't moving, and most of it wasn't my decision. But I couldn't tell what powered threw more my anger or something else.

Even wincing in pain, I just clutched at my stomach as I reached down and grabbed one of the sticks as rage swam threw out my mind, he just looked up at me with a look of mild annoyance before telling me, as I stepped closer. The stick in my hand now sparking with electricity as a crackling sound filled the air.

"A pity, it seems I won't be getting rid of you just yet" And just like that, a Pokemon, from the small glance I managed to get in my rage filled mind, was an alazakam, appeared and in the next moment they both vanished. I stared at the patch of grass in front of me for a second as a growl, no it was closer to a snarl, seemed to be steadily leaking from my throat.

Still, I forced myself to calm down using every bit of control I had, it still took a minute, and that was when I noted that I was shaking. Holding my hand up to my stomach, before moving my hand up a little more I released why, of course that's where he had to hit. I forced my hands to stop trembling out of pure effort as I took a few deep breaths before finally I had calmed down enough to think rationally.

Looking over at my Pokemon who were still out, I noted that Giovanni had collected his Pokemon as well it seems. Moving past that I looked more closely at my Pokemon they all were looking at me in concern. Great, I just gave them a smile, which even to me seemed forced, before walking up to them and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, just the electricity is messing with my nerves. This is quite the toy he brought with him" And with that I lifted up the stick and broke it over my knee, with a bit of effort. Looking at my team members I said.

"I'm going to return you all now, Rockruff isn't going to be training anymore today, I want to hurry up and get to Dark city" They just nodded, though only Pidgeotto seemed to have lessened in his concern, or at least made it less obvious, while Mismagius had disappeared into my shadow already, telling me she wanted to stay out as I return my first two Pokemon.

As I stepped out of the clearing, I noted my illusion wasn't holding itself well, temporary my skin or a patch of clothes would pulse a faint light. It was still up though so I didn't care about fixing its stability, as I was more concerned about the anger that was still bubbling up under the surface.

I have never had a problem with my emotional control, I've always had an amazing sense of self-control, not always for anger, I'll admit it, but still. This shouldn't be enough to cause so much rage. So why. I sighed mentally as I reviewed over the contrast that, has happened since I've arrived in this world.

And I felt like an idiot for not realizing it sooner, I wasn't bloody human anymore, my brain was literary hard-wired differently now. I've already discovered a change in personal interests, why wouldn't, no matter how dulled out threw the years, instincts about anger, not still be around somewhere in this body.

Great, so I reattained the Pokemon instinct of rage, but I didn't get something good like being able to do anything else with my illusions besides hair length, and the appearance of my clothes. That wasn't really fair, oh well, since when has life ever really be fair, still annoying, but it's just something I'll have to deal with.


First off, I know it's a bit random for a sudden attack from Team Rocket, though to be fair randomness is kind of needed for a surprise attack to work, and it does have a point which should come up in later chapters. Well at least if I don't forget, or just decided to change my mind later.

Second, I'm about to explain something and it's going to be dark and probably a bit depressing and not really needed for the story so feel free to not read, but if you're curious I'm going to be explaining why Kyu had a small panic attack.

About five years ago I was mugged, basically put I was jumped by about five guys and I got the life beaten out of me. I tried to fight back and was stabbed because of it, I had a knife jammed into the bottom part of my left lung. I'm more than fine now, but it did leave me with some weird mental problem that I don't remember the name of. I mean it was five years ago and I've always didn't like being touched, which was easier to say rather than a complex medical term that I'll just have to explain and then get pity for it, something I hate. But basically, if I get hurt on certain spots like where I was stabbed, my mind forces itself back into the head space I was in while I had been bleeding out on a corner block. It sounds like PTSD but it isn't near as bad or serve, so don't go throwing me pity or anything, it isn't that bad but it does come up every now and again, which leads to something similar that was seen in the chapter.

Anyway, See ya.
