I Don't Own Pokemon
I was still in Violet City at the moment, mostly just looking around some of the more interesting areas, like the Sprout Tower, which didn't have monks in it which was something that I some how didn't expect to see. I blame the fact that I skipped most of the Johto tv series and instead mostly played only the games. It's like that with most of the regions, the only ones that I watched both the show and played the game for is Kanto, Sinnoh, and Unova.
Still none of that really matters much when it comes to me standing in front of the swinging beam that held up the tower, which is something I'm not sure sure as to how it actually works, but apparently it does work and that's good enough I suppose. Though I feel like there is some kind of interesting story behind how this building ended up being built in the way it was.
History isn't really my forte, especially considering that I'm much more use to the history from my old world compared to the lore from this one. So while I am interesting in how the idea of this design for a tower was made I wasn't really all that curious to go out of my way to look into it. So I just looked at the swaying beam for another couple moments before deciding that I've spent enough time just looking at a fancy acting support beam.
So I should get back to the Pokemon center soon, after all, some of my team where out in my rented room chatting while I wanted to look around. While I wouldn't have minded at all to have some of there company, I wanted some time to myself and they all understood, though that doesn't mean I haven't noticed the fact that Mismagius has been following me around since I left, which I didn't mind.
Though I wish all of my Pokemon would stop assuming that if I'm out of the eye sight of at least one of them that I might be attacked at any second. I can defend myself more than well enough, but it gives them all peace of mind and it doesn't bug me all that much. Still, I think I would prefer if my Ghost would at least let me know instead of trying to hide from the person who taught her everything she knows about hiding and not being noticed.
With that in mind, I turned and began to make my way out of the tower and back to the Center, which was about a twenty minute walk in total, so it gave me time to play a bit of a game to myself. I'm surprisingly good at noticing my surrounds, especially since my hair is trying to fall in my face, so as I made my way back to the Center, I counted all the times that I noticed that Mismagius had changed position or changed shadow.
She didn't do it often and usually it happened out of my line of sight, but I still noted it after the fact so I gave myself a half point for the effort, mostly to give me some kind of points as while I am good at prediction and I know Mismagius and all her sneaking techniques, mostly because I taught her most of them, it doesn't change the fact that she is quite fast and hard to keep her location pinned down at all times.
Still, once I reached the Center, I managed to rack up eight and a half points total, which is good I guess, though I don't have a previous set score to try and beat so I'm just guessing that I managed to get a good enough score. Well it doesn't really matter I guess but I should make a note to remember that score for a later point encase I end up bored enough to do this again.
Walking into the building, I looked around, mostly out of habit to see who was in the lobby, which turned out to be a surprising number of people. Looking at the lot of them in front of me, I looked to see what most of them were looking at and noted that it appeared that something was happening on the tv, from the looks of it from where I was standing it appears to be some news alert. Walking up behind most of them, out of just curiosity, I listened in to what was going on that had everyone's attention.
'It appears that the trail that has swept the Kanto region, the Kanto Vs. former Gym leader Giovanni seems to finally have come to a stunning conclusion with dozens of new facts coming to light. Probably the most important information that has been released is something that most citizens around the region has been wondering, what trainer or trainers can be credited for main crippling of the crime organization that has been plaguing this region for so long. The answer, well it's quite shocking to say the least, find out after these short commercials'
I kind of tuned out for that last bit when I realized what was about to happen, it's not like this hasn't been very long in the making, so I just let out a small, annoyed sigh as I looked up at the ceiling for a moment wondering if there is any point in standing here and hearing the rest of the report, as there is the strong possibility that my photo is going to be shown, and everyone in front of me might try and mob me with questions.
After a moment of consideration, I decided to wait it out, if I have to then I can just retreat to my room and have Mismagius help me sneak out of the building via shadows if it turns out that everyone is going to annoy me. As I don't feel like being caught flat footed about what all information is being released, as for all I know they could just name drop me, or they could bring up my involvement in the police and some of my more well known by the public encounters with that group of idiots. It'd be good to know just how much everyone is going to know about all that stuff that happened awhile ago.
'And we're back. Last we were about to talk about the single trainer, that sources say is one of the biggest factor in the down fall of the sinister Team Rocket. For some over view, almost a year ago to this day, a single trainer went head to head with Giovanni, the now confirmed leader of Team Rocket, along with what has been estimated to be about twenty others in a one vs all battle and won. Since then Giovanni has been arrested and as recently as of two months ago has been declared guilty and has been sentenced to over fifty years in prison with little chance of leaving before his time on this planet is up'
Oh, interesting, I wasn't aware that he had finally been declared guilty, which to be honest I think it took to long to begin with to get him in small cell, but I guess he has enough money still to buy some good enough lawyers to buy him sometime before he has to pay his, long over due, dues, for all the messed up and annoying stuff he's done over the years before he decided to focus on me, and I in turn made sure to stop that from continuing.
'But that's not the point of discussion, no, the main focus is on the trainer that defeated him and so many others at the same time, who until just a few days ago when the courts released all the gathered information to the public now that the case has completely settled that the name of this trainer has come to light, along with multiple other of there achievements in taking down this group of criminals'
I guess I was right in assuming that any of the information that I gathered would be seen and processed by the court that I was the one that gained it, so all that information being available to the public means that anything with my name on it means I was much more than likely both not only involved, but more than likely the only person involved besides a group of idiotic grunts.
'Kyu Malo, almost only known simply as Kyu, who I'm sure anyone who has looked into up and coming trainers in recent times knows this name. He, at this moment is in his second year of being a trainer and in that time has accomplished more than most do in there entire life time, and that's even before this news of his involvement in Team Rocket's defeat has come to light, now if you truly wish to know more about this trainer, I highly recommend looking into the event that has been dubbed, I believe, 'The battle for Nacrene'
I think that's the first time I've ever heard my last name said out loud, still that doesn't change my reaction to the rest of those words, I didn't even bother stopping myself from frowning at the mention of that battle. Really that whole thing got blown out of proportion over time, though looking at the TV screen as a couple of the recorded bits of that battle was played, I could kind of understand why it was such a big deal to everyone else, I mean there was a lot of bloody explosions going off at the time, which I guess can make it seem more dangerous than it actually probably was.
'But at the moment, I'm going to bring up what I believe to be the biggest surprise out of all the court reports that we, at the studio, have found. Those that live in Kanto probably know of the assumed police raid on a game corner that was in Celadon City, I say assumed, because it was not in fact a large group of trainers and police that took down and arrested the hundreds of grunts and scientists without a single Pokemon being called out for a battle, no, it was a single trainer, a trainer that I'm sure you've figured out, named Kyu'
Wait, that was still a thing that people talk about, I thought all that died down like months ago, I certainly haven't heard anything about it in that time, though to be fair I was in Unova for most of that time, but still, the last time I heard about that raid, which I feel like I'm getting to much credit for, as I technically didn't really do anything, was from Jonathan when he acted like I was crazy for thinking it was just a neat little side event, which to be fair, it was, though side event might be a bit rude to call it, after all, it's the first time I ran into a Legendary.
'That's right everyone, a single, twelve year old, at the time, took down a full multi level underground base filled with criminals down by himself without, from reports of the police in Celadon, getting into a single battle. What happened is all up to speculation, but that doesn't change the fact that whatever happened, I, along with everyone else, can't underestimate the importance Kyu has had in taking down one of the worst criminal organizations in this worlds history'
Why is it every time I do something that is 'ground breaking' they have to bring up my age, I don't think it really matters as much as they think it does, hell I'm not even sure how old I am at the moment, I'm not all that good at keeping track of the days, much less the month I'm in, for all I know I've already gone past my birthday again. Note to self, I should check up on that later.
'For everyone watching, we will, over the next couple weeks, continue to report more of these feats from this prodigy of a young trainer as still, even to this minute, more and more information is coming in from all around Kanto, and eve some in Unova, where one of the biggest battles of the year had occurred with Kyu in the middle of it all. Until next time, I'll see all you faithful viewers later, see ya'
Biggest battle of the year, huh, never mind, it can't be far enough into the year for it to be past August and for me to have turned fourteen, because otherwise these people are really setting the bar a bit low. Sure it was pretty intense but I can say that because I was the trainer in the bloody battle their talking about. I can't image that everyone watching even close to understands about how bloody annoying and tense that battle actually was.
Thinking of which, I should ask Zekrom at some point about if they want to do something, I don't think they're going to be one for battling, as they seem to much more to enjoy the challenge than the actual act of just battling, so many they might find that they like the performance part of contests, hell knows that I have to get around to doing another one of those sooner rather than later, and it feels weird to have a Pokemon, that's technically on my Team that is just kind of around without doing something like battling or contest.
I don't count Riolu in that group because of the obvious fact that she isn't apart of my team, hell, she doesn't even have a bloody pokeball, at least not one that I have, after all, I'm not stupid enough to not ask about how easily it would be for an particularly stupid person to kidnap Riolu by just throwing a pokeball at her. And from what the Professor said, she's still technically a caught Pokemon, it's just that she is no longer registered to any trainer, so she's kind of in a weird gray zone.
I would have continued to think about those thoughts but that's when I became aware that multiple pairs of eyes had moved over in my direction and I now had a full room of trainers looking at me in awe. It is decidedly uncomfortable to have all those eyes on me, but I just ignored that annoyance and instead just raised an eyebrow at the lot of them before turning around to make my way to my room, while noting the fact that even if no one bugs me, I'm going to probably shadow travel out anyway.
I'll be honest, I decidedly wait to long in between this part of Kyu's history getting out to the public to when said history actually happened, but I had other plot threads to mess around with, and to be honest, I just didn't want to bother with any of the Team Rocket arc plot threads for a while to just let them rest a bit before I decide to bring it up one last time for the events in this chapter. But whatever, I don't really mind, plus it's given me plenty of time to set up other more interesting plot lines to focus on without having to bother thinking about ending that one completely until I wanted to, though like I said, I probably waited a bit long for that. Anyway, See ya.
