I Don't Own Pokemon


Nothing really happened that was interesting enough to really talk about, during the last week. Some basic training and that was it, so that's all the time I'm going to spend on it, and instead talk about what I was doing currently. At the moment I had just left the registration building getting the name of my opponent name, who was named Slueni, which was a bit weird name wise, and that's from someone who uses a Japanese number as a name, well username, well name, but I didn't have a choice in that.

Anyway, besides that, I would be battling on the rock zone at about noon tomorrow, but right now, I was currently outside by the road as I watched as a familiar face run down the road with a Jenny riding along side him. I forgot that their was a torch bearer for this, and I also forgot that Ash and his group was the ones that were running it. From memory I'm pretty sure he begged into the position and the leader of the committee did it because of some reason that I couldn't remember.

Though I did remember that the man in question was an old man and was compared to Santa, at least I think it was the comparison, it made more sense than Satan. My memory is really getting a little spotty when it comes to the show. It's been almost a full year since I've arrived here, and it's been almost six since I've seen a couple episodes from the first series. So I think it's fair that it's a little bit has slipped from my memory.

Those thoughts were removed from my mind as I focused on the flame Ash was carrying in the torch, it felt almost familiar. Wasn't something about that fire involve a moltres or something similar, it would make sense, as while I have yet to meet a legendary on the attack, I've had enough experience at this point to recognize the power behind it. Which was really weird now that I'm thinking about it, I've meet enough legendary to recognize the feeling of one's power.

Still, after a moment I tore my eyes away from the flame and instead turned away from Ash as he started up the last couple meters. It would just be handed off to some other person, the actual lighting of the main fire wouldn't happen until tonight so I wasn't going to worry about missing anything. Speaking of tonight, it turns out that I along with all the others here would have to come down to the main stadium for the opening ceremony.


It was the next day and needless to say, I just stood around for about twenty minutes in a crowed of a little more than two hundred, from what I knew, it was also being streamed live which was interesting to know as I looked around and noted a few of the cameras, most of which were seen by me mostly because they were positioned as a long shot pane of all the trainers. Besides all that, nothing much happened, yeah, no, a lot bloody happened.

About nine in the morning was when it happened, about four hours after I had woken up from my three hour nap. I had already had my team feed and all ready for the battle I had today, most of them were in their respected pokeballs, with the exception of Luxray and Mismagius when I heard a knock on my door. Leaving my two members from were we were talking, I walked up to the door and opened it to get a big surprise.

"Son!" I stared blankly back at the two people in my door frame, for a solid second before blinking and remembering that shock wasn't going to be helping me, so I gave a forced, but not noticeably so, smile and motioned in for my 'parents' to enter my room, something that killed me a little inside, as it was dubbed my room, and now the personal space it granted me, was destroyed by the oncoming conversation. Still I kept smiling and said.

"Mom, Dad. What are you doing here?" It was phrased as a question but I've had more than enough experience to make it sound like a demand without dropping the cheery tone and fake smile, as I noted Luxray and Mismagius tense a little when I said that. Oh yeah, those two were the most adamant about the witch hunt thing, when I first told them what these two did to 'me', I just gave them faint shakes of the head, making sure they would behave, as my 'mother' told me as they walked around the main room.

"What do you mean what are we doing here? We are here to support our Son of course! We are so proud of you! Getting enough badges in one year is a very hard thing to do after all!" How did they even know about that? I've never gave updates to anyone, let alone these two. Did Professor Juniper have my badge collect on record or something? Still I gave them a nod, as I said.

"Well I appreciate it, though I am curious about why you're doing this now, when I have my first battle in about three hours" John, the name of my 'dad', stepped forwards and placed a hand on my shoulder, something I very nearly zones out at, as every instinct was telling me to remove his hand, and possible a finger or two as well. Though he just smiled and said.

"Well we only got in last night, and it wouldn't do to talk with you after your first match" I just nodded, while subtly looking over to Mismagius for a little help, as neither of the two seemed to have noticed my two team members that were out. She just after a second nodded before a smile lit up on her face, as she floated forwards grabbing onto John's short hair and pulled.

I really needed that as a small smile tugged at my mouth as I watched my Ghost pull the man away from me as my 'mother' yelped out as she stepped backwards and bumped into Luxray who had sneaked up behind her. Though those two clearly had to much fun in their pranks, as Luxray, my adorable an harmless Son made a small growling sound, which I've never even knew he could make as the lady jumped forwards in fright. After another second I decided it had gone on long enough as I stepped forwards.

"Stop you two, Mismagius tugging is rude, and Son she didn't mean it" I made damn sure that those two knew from the sound of my voice I was much closer to gratitude than any actually real annoyance. As I got two matching grins in reply, glancing back over at the two who were catching their breath, I noted 'Dad' was looking at my Son in amazement for a moment before something seemed to occur to him, as he looked over towards me and said.

"It's incredible that the shinx egg you got has turned into this, it's amazing really!...Wait, did you say Son?" Huh, I haven't made it a point to ever really not say that in front of people, well habits are what get people in trouble, well the bad ones at least, though the good ones aren't always the best either. Still, I looked over at the man and said, something maybe a little to sharp for the mood the two were in.

"Well yeah, he's my son. You two can have a Pokemon as a Son, why can't I? At least for me it makes sense, even if their isn't any actual biological relation" They both seemed to flinch at that, as I held my roll of the eyes, honestly they act like it's a taboo or something. Deborah, my mother, looked down for a moment before saying to me something I wasn't really sure I expected.

"Yeah, about that, your Father and I are so terribly sorry you had to find out about that, especially in the way you did, I can't image the amount of stress that must have gone along with it" I just looked at her for a second, tilted my head to the side and continued to look at her for another second, before finally after both of them seemed very nervous, I said.

"I don't understand why you're apologizing. I actually don't, you two screwed up bad, I mean you two broke laws doing what you did, but that doesn't mean I've suddenly gone into a downward spiral of depression, honestly if anything it's pretty bloody fun messing with people about it actually. You two still messed up big time, and I mean big time, but I'm the one that's got to deal with it, you two don't get to apologize, this isn't a situation for 'I'm sorry' but what you can do is stop acting like I'm going to break like glass"

It was true, those two, while I didn't know either of them that well, it was clear they were walking on self made ice, acting like one wrong word would set me off into a anger filled rant. But why would I? They screwed up, but their wasn't anything anyone could do about it, so by that logic apologizing just isn't something to waste time on. Though I certainly wasn't exactly keen on the hugs I received for my answer, honestly I thought I was being rude, but apparently not as which ever one was to my right said.

"Oh! I'm so glad you don't blame us" I just waited an appropriate amount of time, like two seconds, before pushing them off of me, before my Son and Ghost got any ideas. The three of us looked at each other for a moment before my 'mom' looked over the room and saw an wall clock, she stared at it for a moment, before looking at me and saying.

"Well, we should go find a seat and get ready for your match, though once your battles over, we are going to talk about your hair, it's grown out everywhere!" I just rolled my eyes as she turned her back and with her husband walked out of the room. Honestly, even in another universe, with my mother now being a completely different woman, they still talks about my hair being to long.

Whatever, I looked at the door as it closed as my two friends moved up towards me. I waited a second before sighing to myself, I really just wanted to get through this Conference before maybe spending a few days at my 'home' before leaving and exploring Unova for a bit before heading out to Johto, for either the League or just to explore around the region as I've had a lot of fun just walking around here in Kanto. Well, I might be getting a little a head of myself right now, I still have to get through this at the moment, so I looked over at my two Pokemon and said.

"I'm fine, just a little surprised, mostly. Come on, we have a League to win, no time to dwell on those two" I got a nod from both of them as I looked over towards the clock on the wall. The walk to the rock field was about thirty minutes, and judging from the fact that I had about an hour and a half left, well I should be heading towards there in about thirty minutes to make sure I have enough time.


So the family showed up, I was really interested in how I would have Kyu react. I was kind of tempted to make it a big emotional scene, with stuff like shouting and other bit of dialogue I thought about adding. But I'm not like that, it's very rare for me to yell for almost any reason, and Kyu has had months at this point to come to terms with everything, and by that point he would have just accepted it and moved on. And if he still was angry at someone, if anyone it would be me not the parents, after all those two are just figments of the world I made, he knows that, it'd be like blaming the waiter for the food you ordered not being cooked. Anyway, the battles start next chapter, so, See ya.
