I Don't Own Pokemon
Looking at the two Champions in front of me, I just blinked to myself, as I practically felt my team tense a little at her question, while Alder sputtered out a choked laugh, though it was a clearly uncertain and nervous one like he didn't really know if she was joking or not. After a moment on consideration, I tilted my head to the side and answered.
"Yeah I am. Any reason why you felt the need to ask?" I could practically feel the confusion from the orange haired man, as Cynthia looked at me for a second before smiling suddenly, which was a bit random in my opinion. Though after a second she explained.
"You just felt like one, especially when you brought out that tray, I just got confused and wanted to know, though I am quite curios about how good a grip you have on the Unovan language" Oh aura, right, that's a thing, and probably what that thing she did with her eyes was that messed up my read on her facial expression, I guess that would make sense, whatever, I'm kind of stuck in this aren't I, oh well.
"You know something about Aura then, neat. As for language, I speak everything fluently, it's not like Unovan is that special to honest" She blinked at that, ad I watched as she took a step forwards, as I got the opinion that maybe I shouldn't have said that, she seemed a bit to interested by me. Though I also noted that Alder was just looking between us with a very clear lost expression on his face, well at least I only have to deal with one Champion at the moment.
"You know about Aura? Is it because you're a Pokemon? In fact what kind of Pokemon. What's your name? Why do you appear to be a trainer?" Deal lord she asks a lot of question. I would have been less confused by them, if she was asking them rapid fire and with some kind of excited tone of voice, but in stead she stayed at a level voice, and in fact almost seemed to be asking herself more than me, besides some of the question that I had to answer, like my name.
"Yes, no, zoroark, Kyu, and because I am a trainer?" That last one seemed to snap her out of her thoughts as she looked over towards me, down at my chest where most of my pokeballs were, before glancing over to my team, seemingly like she only was now just noticing them, but I knew that was wrong, she looked at them when she first ask her question because she also noticed that they tensed up at it as well as I did.
"Oh really? From the looks of it you're a pretty good one as well, that is unless your lying and you just look like your trainer" Why does everyone think that I'm not actually the trainer? I mean really, is it that hard to believe, I don't really think so, but apparently I'm not in the majority.
"I'm the trainer, why does no one believe that at first? Anyway, can you, I don't know, leave? I was in the middle of trying to relax with my team, before you two showed up and started asking questions that should probably be really personal" I don't really want to have to deal with them at the moment, I'm here to bloody relax, not get involved with whatever this is, well, what this is, is probably me, I don't know how to feel about the fact that I'm the one that is of interest here.
"Oh how rude of me. I don't believe I even introduced myself. My name is Cynthia, nice to meet you Kyu. Sorry, for all the questions but you're quite interesting, and I spend most of my time trying to solve mysteries that sometimes I forget that somethings might be a bit personal to someone to not look into it" Well, at least she knows that there is probably a line somewhere, though to be fair, it's not like she's actually gotten close to it for me to be offended for something.
"Yeah, I know who you are, Regional Champion and all that, don't worry I don't really care, it's just that to many people talk about me enough as it is, if this particular tidbit about me got out, I don't even want to think about how much attention that'll bring" Really, I mean the stuff about my war with Team Rocket hasn't even gotten out yet, and I still have to deal with to many people talking about me.
"Wait a moment! That's why you look familiar! You that kid that caught a Legendary! Man, one of my elite four would not stop talking about you" So Alder has joined the conversation, right when I was about to get out of it, great.
"Yeah I did that, anyway, ice cream to eat, conversations to not have, etc, etc. I'm going to head out and eat this before the rest melts" And with that, I barely waited until I got a nod or some other form of acknowledgement from the two before turning and walking away. Though I did pick up Cynthia questioning Alder about what he meant. I'm now glad that I out out when I did.
I found a mostly uninhabited part of the beach with the help of Pidgeot and Charizard, so that's where I and the rest of the team are at the moment, with everyone eating their slightly melted ice cream. Though I have to say watching Zekrom's reaction to the food was interesting, and quite funny, watching their face go from uncertain to surprised to joyful was great.
Still, even with all that going around me, watching my team have a lot of help just running around or swimming with varying degrees of success. I can't help but be somewhat concern about the conversation I had with those two, it would be stupid to think that some of my not as known feats would stay hidden, I know for a fact that the whole thing with Team Rocket is going to be uncovered any day now.
I haven't kept up with the news, because I just didn't really care, but that doesn't change the fact that once Giovanni goes to court my name is going to be splashed up all over the place from my involvement with the groups destruction. Not to mention, Giovanni certainly seems like the type of guy to be spiteful enough to announce to the world that I'm not exactly human, during his case, just as a parting shot.
All in all, I don't think my secrets are going to stay secret for much longer, it's not like I haven't had plenty of time to get ready for it, as those two in particular have been ones that have been building up for either a year or at least a few months at this point. Which is the main reason why I didn't bother lying, and because, while I don't know that much about real world effects of Aura, I feel like lying or bluffing my way out wouldn't work as well as I would want it to.
Plus it's not like this is the first time someone has figured it out, I mean, I literally just thought about a crime lord who has that information, not to mention another Regional Champion also is aware of me. At least I managed to stress to the two of them that I really don't want my status as a Pokemon to be revealed, as while I don't really have much faith in most living things, I do hope that I remember their characters enough to know that they're good enough people to keep their mouths shut.
Well, now that I'm thinking about it, a lot of people know about me don't they, I mean most of the grunts from Rocket were told about me, I had a bloody mark on my head by them. It depends on the region then I guess for right now, well isn't that annoying. Nothing I can really do at the moment, it's one of those things that I can't really effect, it will spread with or without my interference.
"Hey Boss are you ok?" Snapping out of my mild crisis, I looked over towards my Wolf, and noted that he had stopped running around with Luxray and was currently sitting down near to me. Something about him is that while he does have a lot more energy than he use to, like before training got into full swing or before his evolution, he does still have a lazy streak every now and again.
"I'm fine Lycanroc, just thinking a bunch, nothing to concern yourself over, we made our way here for everyone to relax some before heading off to wherever is our next destination" He looked at me for a moment before tilting his head before looking at me with a confused expression on his face, which shifted into annoyance.
"Everyone is suppose to be relaxing, that means you as well Boss, stop overthinking stuff for right now, we aren't the only ones that should relax" I huffed, in false annoyance, before nodding and stood up. He's right, though I might be saying that because I would rather not having to deal with my 'overthinking' mind at the moment. It would be nice to spend time to just not think of everything that has any level of concern that involves me, which is practically everything.
"Yeah your right, damn I like it when I'm the wise one" My Wolf laughed a little at my put out tone of voice, which was good, I don't want him or anyone to feel down because they think I'm not enjoying myself. Reaching down, I slipped off my belt and my sash, and dropped them down by my bag, which was by a few chairs. After a second, I took a small breath and dropped my illusion.
It's been a long while since I actually just dropped it, in fact my neck is a little stiff for some reason, rolling my head to side by side I held back a small yawn that wanted to be let out, Which is interesting because I've actually gotten pretty decent sleep the last couple days, still I just ignored it. Dropping back down where I had been sitting, I looked over and told Lycanroc, when I saw his slightly confused expression.
"I'm relaxing, while the concentration that particular illusion takes up is practically nonexistent, it still feels like a small weight is taken off my shoulders, well metaphorically" He nodded, though I'm pretty sure he didn't really know what that really meant, which was fair, no one besides my evolution line can make illusions like this so even if I do explain it, for others it's mostly guess work.
I'm slipping back into over thinking again, well then, I need something to do, now if only I could come up with something to do. That's when Mismagius floated up from the ground next to me, with a look that I'm sure most would see as a harbinger of doom, I just took it as that she had an idea. Raising an eyebrow at her, she chuckled and answered my unasked question.
"There's a lot of shade around here Captain!" It took a moment for my mind to connect the dots, but when they did, I held in a laugh as I gave a nod, as I sat up a little straight as I watched as the faint shadow that were on the ground, more specifically underneath most of my team, opened up and deposited all of them flailing into the ocean. Lycanroc and I laughed at all the yelps of surprise.
The only ones that were spared was me, Riolu, Lycanroc, and Charizard, which I'm glad my Ghost knew to not dump the water vulnerable Pokemon and the one that couldn't swim well into the ocean as well. I'm also glad that I wasn't dropped into it either, but that was more secondary to my amusement to watching as my team, including Zekrom, slowly waded there way back to the shore, though Pidgeot managed to catch himself before he touched the water so he was fine.
Though, I could feel that my Ghost realized what she had done a little to late, as suddenly everyone of my drenched to the bone Pokemon rushed forwards trying to tackle Mismagius in revenge. Lycanroc and Charizard some how got dragged in as I watched as it all dissolved into a massive game of tag. At some point my almost silent laughter became more audible, as I watched as everyone ran around having fun.
While it might have taken a while to get here, I think it as pretty fun, just roaming around the region for a while with no real plan, it's nice to not worry about some grand destination. Of course, sadly, I'll probably only stick around for another week or two at max before I move onto my goal.
Yeah, not much of a conversation between Kyu and the two Champions, the reason for that is there wasn't much to really talk about. Sure some interesting points of conversation came up, but simple answers are more than enough to complete them, and not to mention Kyu was in the middle of something, and he has dealt with to much stuff for him to be grabbed willingly into whatever mini arc those two probably would be apart of. That doesn't mean that their interactions are over, just that for right now, there wasn't any reason to continue to talk to each other. See ya.
