I Don't Own Pokemon
"What the in world happened here!" Looking on as an Officer Jenny and what seemed to be an herdier practically jumped out of her car and began running towards me, or more accurately the blown up building next to me. As I watched as she approached, I waited until she got close enough to hear me without me having to raise my voice more than necessary, before telling her.
"The building blew up" She didn't seem impressed with my, in my personal opinion, very acute description of happened. Though I didn't think it was bad enough to make her do what she did. And by that I mean she pulled out handcuffs and began to make her way towards me. Does she think I did that? Because that's quite rude.
"Who are you! What did you do?" I got to say I'm pretty sure I like it better when the Jennys' already know me and don't try and arrest me. So to make sure that last part didn't happen, I just reached into one of the inside pockets of my jacket, to which Jenny tensed at while the herdier growled at me and lowered their body, did they think I had a gun or something? Well, that's concerning, but I don't care, so I just pulled out my badge, I'm just glad I keep it on my person, or at least not in my bag, before saying.
"If you're going to arrest someone it should be these guys" With that I pointed down at the men at my feet, which now that I'm thinking about it, is probably the reason why she thinks I had something to do with the building being no longer existent. Still, as I handed over the badge, she just gave it a glance over, seemingly not recognizing it for a few moments. During which time I used to regret not looking up the level of authority I have outside of Kanto, before she finally said as a spark of recognition filtered into her eyes.
"Oh! This is a trainer police badge, I haven't seen one of these in a long time, not to mention a Kanto one. Much less on a trainer actually with one! What's your name?" It's probably not a good thing she got suddenly so of track while we stood in the middle of the ruins of a destroyed building, the one she was more than likely about to arrest me on the suspicion of causing said destruction. Well at least I can move the conversation on by myself.
"Kyu, but I feel like that's besides the point at the moment" She seemed to recognize my name but I couldn't feel if it was from someone in her family talking about me, or just my own exploits that let her be aware of me. It didn't really matter though, as after I hinted that maybe this wasn't the best time for small talk, she jumped back into gear and told me.
"You're absolutely right! We got to find the ones that are responsible for such an attack at once!" I wonder if it's just a habit of police to not think that a first responders hasn't already dealt with the problem or if its just every Jenny I come across thinking that I would let someone get away. I mean it would make sense for the first one to be true but so could the other. Still I let her know quickly enough before she could run off.
"I already found them, like I said early you should arrest these guys" Giving a dismissive gesture to the men on the ground to make sure she got my point, I watched as she blinked in surprise before looking at the unconscious group before looking back up at me and asked.
"While I don't not believe you, do you have any proof?" I think that's the first time a police officer has asked me that, which should probably be very concerning. No wait I had to give evidence that Trash was trying to kill my Lizard to a Jenny. I almost forgot about that, anyway moving past those nor overly pleasant memories, I replied to the Officer, saying.
"To start with, they forced their way into a highly sensitive zone, which lead to them causing an overload of power, causing the building to explode and if it wasn't for a Pokemon, that hasn't been found let, the three people that were in the main room where the explosion occurred could have died. You can ask those two over there if what I'm saying is correct and it can also be confirmed by the head researcher Dr. Fennel that these idiots caused the building to blow up"
I totally made it sound much more dangerous and their fault than it probably actually is, but I'm a spiteful prick and they caused both me to be thrown around like a rag-doll and Riolu to have her leg start acting up worse than it has been. Of course, my words are probably going to be refuted, at least some of the more obvious ones that point it to being all the investors fault, but that doesn't mean my words aren't going to be the first impression of this event which means that Jenny will default to thinking about this first instead of the excuses from the investors.
"Well, if that you're saying is true and that it can be backed up, then these four are going to be going away for a long time" I just nodded to her as she looked around for another moment before moving over towards the assistants to get their statements, at least that's what I assume she's doing. If I cared I could probably hear what they were saying from were I was standing but didn't, instead I moved back towards the other Pokemon that was out and was still around, not looking for the musharna.
"You doing better now?" Riolu, who was laying down on my Son's back, looking up at the sky, turned her head to the right to look over in my direction and almost grimaced but instead just nodded after a moment before saying.
"I think I actually prefer it when I don't feel much from you, it's some how more creepy when your feeling stuff like normal people. Especially when it's unneeded, I'm fine after all" Oh? I thought my emotional control was, no wait, control doesn't mean not feeling it, and that means she is feeling all of my current emotions completely. It is probably worrying that the intense amount of anger I'm feeling for her is just an average amount for a normal person. Eh I already knew that.
"Wait? You're saying I'm feeling stuff? I could have sworn you said I wasn't able to do that, could it be that you were wrong?" She just huffed and crossed her arms, which was fair, I mean I should probably be nicer but it's clear that the last thing she wants right now is for people to worry about her, so I'm not going to bother with concerns, she probably wouldn't get anything of use that way anyway.
"Well if someone wasn't bipolar with emotions of all things then I wouldn't have to backtrack" So I'm bipolar now. I just rolled my eyes in an overly obvious way, making sure she could see it, but before I could reply with my own snarky remark, another familiar voice interrupted me, as my Ghost suddenly floated up out of the ground and said.
"I've looked everywhere Captain. I didn't find anyone else" I gave her a nod as my mind shifted away from the current events and instead wondered where that musharna ended up. I don't exactly have the Pokemon's move set memorized but I don't believe that they can learn teleport. So I'm not sure where they could have disappeared to, unless the explosion of energy had a side effect on the Pokemon, the energy did come from them after all.
"Thanks for looking Mismagius" I reached up and gave her a pat on top of her head while I said that, before turning my line of sight over towards the only officer present at this moment, well besides myself, but I'm still not sure I count really. Anyway, I pointed out she was the only one here right now, because she seemed to be calling in for some more people to show up.
I really should get out of here before anymore people show up, I mean, its not like I really have a reason to stick around, I already gave my statement, made sure no one was trapped or had any kind of serious injury, so really I've done all I could do. And that's all the justification I needed to give myself as I turned away from the people and instead looked back to my team and gave them a come on gesture with my head, and started to walk away from the scene.
To be honest I was kind of surprised that no one noticed as I wasn't overly quick in my walking away, but like I just mentioned no one seemed to notice as I and the other Pokemon out with me just continued on. I wasn't really sure exactly where I was heading, just that it was in the correct direction to get back to the city, and really that was all I was going for.
Since, once I get back in the city then I can look around for a bit to find a store to stock back up on supplies like I said I would have to do before I was interrupted by a building exploding. Looking up to the sky, after a moment of thinking to myself about all the things I would have to buy and the price it was going to cost. I noted that it wasn't really that late into the day, really if I hurried I could get everything ready, finish plotting out the path I'll be taking, and maybe even set out to Nacrene before the day is up.
Of course that wasn't going to actually happen, it would be to late to get any real progress on the road without pulling an all nighter and I doubt my team will let me get away with one. They are surprisingly stubborn now a days about how much potential sleep I'm losing. Not to mention if I leave so soon then I won't be able to stop by the Pokemon Center and get Riolu's leg checked up on.
Because, while she says otherwise, I'm fully aware that chronic pain just goes away, and it certainly doesn't when the pain get inflamed, like say when you're being thrown to the ground. As I was thinking about it, I noted I had absently moved my right hand over and gripped my left hand. One of the few things I was really grateful out being forced into a younger body was that this one didn't have as much abuse happen to it.
It was certainly nice to have my left hand back, well that implies I lost it, it's better to say it no longer hurts to use for more than about an hour at a time. I've become use to it now that I've had enough time to adjust, but I've still noticed that I almost exclusively use my right had when I have to, even though my status as ambidextrous is back, well technically back, I haven't tested it much and I only had about two years of being self learned to use my left hand.
Before I got it hurt, though hurt might be down playing it, the bones were broken in three different places and it lead to mild nerve damage, which lead to very chronic pain. Something, as before mentioned, I'm glad I don't have to deal with anymore. And that's when I realized I got lost in my thoughts again, as I focused back on my surrounds, noting that I could see the city coming up pretty quickly.
Bit of a shorter chapter, but it wraps up the blown up building mostly, and because my hand has been acting up. Yeah their was a reason I decided to put that little fact in the last part of the chapter. Kyu made it out to be worse it it really is, because he is looking back at the pain as a memory, while I still have to deal with it. It doesn't really hurt that much, but it is painful if I do stuff with it for long extended periods of time. It's actually been a lot better recently but it sudden flared up bad in the last day or so, so I just cut this chapter a little short. Anyway See ya.
