I Don't Own Pokemon
It had been about thirty minutes, and I had only just managed to get out of the pile of Pokemon to make my call to the police letting them know that Team Rocket tried to steal my Pokemon. I probably should have phrased it better, as I then had to spend about three minutes to explain that everyone involved in the attack was unconscious, and they needed to send a lot of trucks for transport.
It was a little disconcerting, that when I gave my name to the officer I was talking to, that they just made a sound of understanding before saying they would send all they had. But it got the job done, so I wasn't complaining, though, I didn't think I'd ever have the ability to name drop myself to the police and have doors open up for me because of it.
Speaking of abilities, while I didn't have much time to really sort everything out properly, my illusions has changed a little bit. Not much, but their was some noticeable differences, the first one was just a simple color swap, instead of a dim light blue, when my illusions were forming or lowering the 'aura' that was given off was closer to a mix of dark red and purple, which was interesting.
The only others one that I had noticed was that it was a good bit easier to form my illusions around something that wasn't linked to me. Like my clothes, they were much easier to adjust than before, and I even figured out how to separate my illusions, so I didn't have to be touching the illusion to keep it stable. I wasn't sure how I was doing it, but I was, and that's the only answer I could come up with so far.
And to be even more fair, I've only had like four minutes to really test the new body out, and it was actually pretty cool. Did you know that when a Pokemon evolves they get a, kind of, information package downloaded into their mind, so they can use their bodies as fast as possible? Well it turns out that applies to me, which means, I got my bodies instincts back.
Not completely, the mental block was still there so no changing into an entei anytime soon, but it was still nice, almost like I remembered something that I shouldn't have ever lost, which was technically true. But enough about me, those were just things I've noticed since evolving, the main focus I had was on Mew, because I was still curious, so after I made my call I asked.
"So why was Team Rocket chasing you?" They looked at me, before saying, in an overly happy voice for what they said.
"I meet a me-two, but they weren't two of me, so I got curious and visited where me-two said that they makers of them were, it was interesting, at least until someone found, me, then I started playing tag with them!" So Mew has meet Mewtwo, and called him me-two, apparently.
"So from what I know about him, he was looking for answers, so what questions did he ask you?" The, probably, over millennium year old Pokemon giggled before doing a small flip in the air before holding a paw up to there mouth and said.
"It's a secret!" I just sighed to myself before nodding as I watched as Mew floated back up into the air and started chasing Pidgeot around some in the air, seeming to be able to keep up with his insane speed. That was another thing, I needed to talk to him about his evolution at some point.
Just from what I've seen so far, he is an absolute demon when it comes to speed now, I mean before he was about as fast as an average pidgeot, just as a pidgeotto. Now? Well if it's any indication, he was currently in the air cruising at above mach one, that was him just base flying not even pushing himself, without Agility or Tailwind.
I was honestly a little worried about how fast he could move now, as I knew friction would be horrible at that speed. But it just didn't seem to apply to him, which while very interesting in how that applied to multiple laws of physics, wasn't really relevant to what was happening around me.
Looking over to Luxray, who had taken up the position as the guard for Giovanni's unconscious form, as he seemed very worried about what the man had said to me before I punched him, so I let him to alleviate some of his fears. Though, with how hard I punched the man, I wasn't really sure it was necessary, still I wonder-.
That's when I heard the sirens in the distance, glancing over at the direction of the noise for a moment, I noted that we were a good bit off the beaten path. Looking upwards at Pidgeot as he did circles in the air, I called out.
"Hey Pidgeot. Do you mind directing those cars over here?" I got a confirmation in the form of him gliding downwards towards the sound. I hope he finds them, as even with evolution he still wasn't the most observant bird around, but he has gotten better, so I was confident that he wouldn't have to much trouble.
Though, as I stood there in the clearing for a moment, I remembered my line of thought, as I turned to look at the unconscious form under Luxray's watchful gaze. Walking over towards the unconscious man, I gave Luxray a look, getting him know to let off for a second, and when he did I pulled off the overcoat Giovanni was wearing, after all Gym Leader's had to have something on them to confirm their position as a Gym Leader.
Rifling threw the pockets for a moment, ignoring the pokeballs, wallet, and other travail things that I didn't really care about, I found what I was looking for. Pulling out a small case, I opened it up and pulled from it a single Earth Badge from it, I figured as much, grinning I dropped it into my pocket, I mean, I did win a battle against the Viridian Gym Leader, after all.
"Hello? Oh there you are! Kyu right? Would you mind telling me what the hell is happening?!" Looking over my shoulder at the Jenny who had just entered the clearing, with Pidgeot hovering above her in the air, I watched as she walking up to me. Noting that they got here faster than I thought that they would, good for them. Turning to face her I said simply.
"Would you believe me if I said a tree fell on all of them?" She just gave me a look before, looking past my right shoulder, where the still on fire helicopter was burning behind me, along with the dozens of unconscious humans that filled out the clearing also surrounding me. So I just gave a shrugged before saying.
"Would you believe me if I said it was a very big tree?" Needless to say she wasn't very impressed.
It turns out that a tree falling on all the grunts wasn't going to work this time, which was sad, I had gotten quite attached to that little reoccurring joke. But it didn't change the fact that I was accusing a respected Gym leader for being the boss of a massive criminal organization, so I had to do this more legit-ly than I was hoping for, rather than my normal 'beat them up and have others deal with the law' method I've been using.
Which meant a full statement and this would have to go to the League for their determination on the matter. Thankfully, I didn't have to be super involved in that, though I would be brought in for further questioning, probably by an Elite Four member or Lance himself, as they had to revoke Giovanni's title as a Gym leader before charges could be pressed.
Something about public image mixed with something about an old law that gave Gym Leaders a mild power in the enforcement of the law in their cities or towns. So, I had to fill out a bunch of papers to fill a charge of assault and a few other crimes, like Pokemon poaching, organized crime affiliations, and death threats against my person.
I also had to let them know where I would be located in the next three to five weeks, which I just said I was heading to Pallet, and I should be there in about three weeks. It seemed that having a good presence in a police force can speed up the paper work which was nice, though I still had to sit in an cramped office space for about an hour filling out forms, and other types of papers.
Oh yeah I never mentioned I was in a police station now, it was honestly not as exciting as one would think it would be. Nothing seemed to be happening, though I will say a weird amount of people, like four at this point, has walked up to me and said their thanks for what I've done to help.
Which is bloody weird, I'm use to being called a prick or being yelled at for being insensitive or some other travail thing like that, from me just not using my censor. But here I was being compared to a hero, I couldn't say I exactly liked it, I'm fully aware that I'm not the best person around, in fact I'm fully comfortable with calling myself a jerk. So this was just bizarre.
Currently, after signing a bunch more papers, because everything needs to be signed in triplicate, for reasons, and all that, I was standing in front of the police station in Vermilion, waiting on being dismissed. While that was happening, I was looking around for Mew, they kind of just disappeared when the cops showed, and I wouldn't have any idea if they followed me back here or not.
I was hoping that I wouldn't see them anywhere, as while I wouldn't mind the company of the legendary, it would be annoying to work out a system so I didn't get swarmed for being seen in public with a legendary Pokemon just chilling around me. I didn't see the pink little power house anywhere so I assume, they went off and talked to Mewtwo.
Something I still wasn't sure what to think about that, I mean it wasn't that horrifying of a thought, as Mew is clearly in good health so a battle didn't break out. So I think that's a check mark in the, not going to destroy the world, column. Still for someone as serious as Mewtwo, I don't think the personality of Mew would help his decision making process.
Well their wasn't anything I could really do about it if he was planning on destroying the world, sort of an invite to the event, which isn't even a certainty anymore. Good job me, you took cannon and pile drived it. Why does my life have to be stress full? I mean it could be worse but still, this is a wish come true, to be in this world and I still get wrapped up in this crap.
I'm over thinking this again, I really got to stop doing that, today was suppose to be a day for relaxing, for the love god. Whatever, I'm spending the night here and I'm going to have shower and then leave for Pallet, I don't think I'm going to have any of the team work on any high intensity training for a few days.
They need a break as much as I do, my team took a lot more hits than really most of us thought, mostly coasting off of adrenaline at the time. Even I had some bruising on my chest and one of my arms, that even evolving couldn't fix, a downside from evolving when I shouldn't be able to, my body didn't have enough excess energy from the process to heal me up fully.
It got most of the really bad damage, which was why I was force evolved in the first place, but that didn't mean it was prefect, though I do have enough information to write a bloody paper on the process of evolution, at this point, I'm pretty sure I could become a bloody professor, at least in theory, with the amount of ideas that are bouncing around in my head.
That's when the Jenny, that I had been in the most contact with since she showed up in the woods, walked out of the station, as I felt a sense almost akin to deja vu, as I looked down at her hand, which was holding an item in it. It wasn't a Waterstone this time though, no it was something I didn't recognize as an Pokemon item, in fact it almost looked like a...Oh.
"For you're incredible service to our region, I present to you this honorary badge, it isn't as good as the ones trained officers have, but if their isn't a cop on the scene of a crime, you have full legal right to take charge of a situation. This is only given in a strict sense of trust, and will give you a sense of responsibility as it is, if you chose to take this badge, to do you're best to up hold the law"
I...honestly didn't know what to say, that was an honest to god first, I believe, since I've gotten here. Looking down at the badge she was holding out for me to accept or decline, I slowly reached out and grabbed it form her hand, before huffing to myself in amusement as I realized how surreal it was for me to have a similar amount of legal authority as that of a cop, god my life is weird.
"Do I get a title?" When in doubt, joke. She just smiled as I took the item from her hand as I placed in into one of the pockets of the jacket I was 'wearing' before telling me.
"Not really no, you're rank is technically below even the most newest recruit, and these badges are very rare to be handed out in general, so a rank or title was never really assigned, if you want you could be the first to name it" I looked at her for a second before just shaking my head.
"Nah, I'm good with just the badge, I'm absolutely horrible at naming stuff" She gave a nod before turning and walking back into the police station. The second the doors closed behind her, I sighed as I looked up at the sky in confusion. Of course this is when I thought of a question. Did this work outside of Kanto?
I really should have asked that, I mean, I'm only going to be staying in this region for another couple months at most, and while it would be a nice memento nonetheless, it would be unfortunate if this only worked here. Oh well, I'll figure it out later, it's not as if I'm leaving right this second anyhow.
With that I turned on my heel as I began to make my way towards the Pokemon center, after all, I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted to take a nice shower, and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to get a few hours of sleep.
And with that a full loop had been made, going from a new trainer getting a neat and even useful item for stopping a serious but to be honest petty crime, to a very skilled trainer who is being rewarded with a position of power for taking down a massive crime syndicate. This has been a story thread since like chapter four or five, and now over thirty chapters later it's finally coming to a conclusion. Also, this was the first time I've written a three part mini story, at least intended to write one. Like I said it's like it's own little story, set up in the first chapter(chapter 40) then battle/climate in the last chapter, to this chapter which leads to conclusion, with an opening for the next story to pick up. I honestly am kinda of surprised it worked out that well to be honest.
Though I will expand upon what the badge really means, as I only really used context clues, but so far practically everything that Kyu did on his own against team rocket has been a form of vigilantism, he had no legal right to go against a criminal organization, as that is the cops job, that badge he got basically means, he could be consider something similar to a consultant or something else, meaning he can't get in trouble for taking action anymore, when it doesn't involve himself specially, against crime. It hasn't been brought up yet but it is something that the police force has been working to fix, so he didn't get punished for doing good.
Anyway, I've ranted way to long now, so, See ya.
