Chapter 5: A Decision To Be Made
Giving a statement made Treeko feel exhausted. There were so many details that he needed to remember, starting from what he saw during the case to how they found the Salandit and took the Pokémon on. Treeko hoped he did a well enough job and that it was helpful. Meanwhile, Little Pip looked unfazed by the whole process. Every now and again, he would eavesdrop on the officer taking his account at the other desk. He noted that Little Pip was quite detailed, very blunt, and not without his share of evidence. It was as if he gave statements like these on many occasions, which was weird considering he was a child. What kind of life would someone lead, human or Pokémon, to be so skilled at detailing the events in a crime? Come to think of it, Pip did confess that he remembered being called two different names. Maybe the little guy was a spy? Agent Little Pip, using the latest Pokétech to take down enemies of the evil syndicates… Nah, like that would ever be the case. That was too unrealistic to be true. He's at best a prodigy, but still a child.
Treeko saw Little Pip waving goodbye to the officer as he headed his way. He soon patted the young penguin on the head ruffling his feathers in the process, an action that annoyed him so much.
"So, you're all done giving your statement?"
"Mmm, all finished!" Little Pip exclaimed happily in a high pitchy voice.
Treeko's head tilted to the side, looking a bit bewildered.
"Is something wrong?" He looked up at the gecko curiously.
"Ah, well," he brought his hand to the back of his neck rubbing it, "this is the first time you've sounded so…"
"So?"
"Well… childish I guess?"
"Huh?"
Conan/Shinichi had paused at that comment. What did he mean by that? He was child, wasn't he? Despite the weirdness of remembering a high schooler name he believed to called by, he was currently turned into some baby hatchling penguin. He decided to press him for clarification.
"What do you mean exactly?"
Treeko-nii-san raised his head, eyes rolled up as if looking for an answer on the ceiling. He then hummed before finally responding, "Well, from the first time we met up to now, you've always seemed more mature. I mean, you even talk like an adult at times. Like when you asked me questions on the way to town, you were able to respond well. But then, I would remember you're a child when you asked a question that was sillier and very obvious to a majority of Pokéchildren, to some even at birth. But just now, your answer matched the way you appeared. A child who answers so innocent and genuine."
Conan/Shinichi thought back to all the times he had conversations with Treeko-nii-san. It turns out, he was right, the way he replied to the question felt so natural. He didn't even think twice about the way he answered. Was he use to answering someone like this in the past? Was this maybe another remnant of his former self slipping through? An adult wouldn't answer that way, neither would a high school student, as far as he remembers at least, which wasn't much. But it still didn't make sense to him. Something just wasn't adding up.
Someone tapping him on the shoulder caused him to jump a little. Behind him was the officer that had told the two about where to go in the building, officer Ralts.
"Um, I'm sorry to startle you. I noticed you were both finished giving your statements. So I came over to take you to Chief Oricorio's office. She did say she wanted to see you both after you finished."
The duo simply nodded and Ralts motioned for them to follow. Looks like those former life thoughts would have to be put on hold till another time. He really wondered just how much there was to organize. Could someone give him a notebook please?
As they walked, each of them thought back to the the proposal by Chief Oricorio. Shinichi/Conan thought about what he wanted to do while Treeko was debating whether it was a good idea or not. On one hand, to be under the Chief as a mentor would be good, he'd be safe since she was a Chief and would be able to protect him from harm. He would also have a higher chance of finding his family on the possibility that he actually is a deluded chick. On the other hand, the Chief likes to get ahead of herself and who knows just how far she could push her agenda. Even if she didn't go as hard as he imagined, was the Police world the right environment for a child to learn in, especially one as young as Little Pip? What a dilemma. He looks down at the little guy by his side who seemed to be deep in thought too, he didn't know what to do.
The three finally arrived at the office. Ralts knocked on the door and they heard the chief calling them to enter. The little Pokémon that looked like he was wearing a seaglass green helmet waved goodbye and left them to enter. The inside of her office was simple and matched the rest of the interior of the station. White smooth stone floors with the shiny rocks embedded into them and nice white walls. Her desk was a fiery ash colored table with papers stacked high atop it. To the side of the desk, a little jar held several colored feathers which were either used as decoration or as writing quills. The office itself was quite plain, a lot of shelves lined up the left and right walls, most held papers or books. The only exception was on the wall behind her desk, there was a painting of what looked like the chief and three other similar looking birds. One looked like a yellow cheerleader, another looked like a pink Hawaiian hula dancer, and the last looked like a lavender Kimono fan dancer. These must be her sisters she mentioned in passing earlier. On the center of the wall, just above the painting, was a wooden carving of what looked like the station's symbol. It looked like a long rhombus shape with two smaller rhombuses off the left and right, positioned landscape. {The Specific Z Crystal Shape for reference}. There were four separating lines that connected to each paralleled angle creating quadrants. On the large rhombus, there were four silhouettes in each separated quadrant. The top right a foldable fan design, to the left was a what looked like the tail of the Chief's wing looking more like the tail end of a dancing dress, the bottom left held a puffy ball that looked like a cheerleader pom-pom, and to the right of that was what looked like a grass skirt, something that looked like what a Hula Dancer from Hawaii would wear. Shinichi/Conan thought about Hawaii. He would enjoy watching the dancers whenever he was there to relax from other activities. Other activities he joyed there included going to the gun range, controlling flight simulators, scuba diving in the ocean, or just following a tour guide to absorb more knowledge about the island. Wait… he's been to Hawaii? Also, why had he been learning those kinds of skills. If he was young, would he even be allowed to learn that stuff? Great, more thoughts to organize.
Overall, it was a simple office. The chief was sitting behind her desk, just barely seen behind all the papers that were currently in front of her. She seemed to be distracted with whatever the contents on the document were until Treeko lightly cleared his treat and she finally looked up. She motioned them to come forward to the desk. One detail the two noticed was the lack of chairs, Treeko wondered how would she handled business if they couldn't sit.
"I take it you were expecting to sit on chairs right?" She seemed to know what they were thinking as they nodded.
"Well, I don't keep chairs in here since we have other places to hold longer meetings. Also, I usually keep things short enough so there is no need to sit."
"Really?" They both asked.
"Well… that's not entirely true. There use to be chairs but some things happened that I'd rather not discuss." She shuddered at whatever the thought was, the boys looked at one another and agreed not to ask.
She stood up, moved the papers out of the way, and placed both wing onto the desk, "Okay, let's get down to business."
Treeko gulped, he knew what was coming. She turned to the blue penguin, eyes focused only on him.
"Young Piplup, have you been thinking about my offer?"
"You mean about wanting to take me under your wing to be mentored?"
"Yes, I meant every word."
Conan/Shinichi was quiet, looking down a little before answering, "I was and I th…"
"Hold it, Chief!" Treeko yelled quite frantic.
The two were startled as he continued to speak, "Chief, he's just a child. He can't read, he doesn't have a clue how to attack, he's not even sure about his own name, basically knowing next to nothing about life. I know he impressed us all that night, but I think you're over-estimating him a little. He's too young, he needs some life experience and to enjoy himself before he can head out and be your protégé."
She smiled, "Treeko, I know and agree with everything you've said."
The gecko was now confused, "Huh? Then wha…"
"He needs training, What Pokémon can't defend themselves or others as well as battle as a team along side others?" He was still lost, but she continued, "I talked with my sisters and they also brought up similar concerns to you Treeko. They helped me to see I was leaping ahead of the planned choreography."
"Huh?"
"What I mean is, while I do want to nurture his raw talent, you're right, he is young. He needs experience, because whether or not you're able to solve a case, if you understand nothing about the world and its inhabitants, what good can you be? The case from last night was simple, but what if there was some other influences with Pokémon moves or abilities? Would this little one be able to still track the culprit down and notice the signs of tampering? Would he be able to tell if a Pokémon used a move and narrow it down to the right suspects? Also, what would happen if he encountered a situation such as the one in the cave? You Treeko and the young Houndour may have been there, but if he were alone, would he have been able to defend himself? Does he know the proper use of items, berries, or herbs that are able to revive your stamina or cure your status effects? The answer to all those questions ended up being a firm no."
Shinichi/Conan was intently listening as they talked like he wasn't even there. But he wasn't bothered because the Chief brought up many good points. There was so much he didn't know or understand. He felt like he wasn't the type to believe in luck, but him surviving the case said otherwise. The world was foreign, and he needed to discard a lot of what he knew now. His knowledge wasn't going to help him the same way as back home. It was time to accept the facts. Here he was, far from home, far away from everything he thought he knew. He was lost, he needed help, and was forced to accept whatever he could get.
The Chief noticed the little Piplup looking down at his feet, "So, you do understand your position."
He raised his head looking almost defeated but also accepting of her words. He remained quiet and simply nodded.
"Well, as I said, I contacted my sisters and we spoke through telepathy. This can be done with the assistance of our psychic type partners. So, after speaking, we all came to a decision about you young Piplup."
"And that is?"
"You'll be under all our wings."
Treeko looked up, not expecting this answer, "What do you mean about that, Chief?"
"My sisters and I decided to help train you, of course you'd need to go to school Piplup, but other than that, each of my sisters are willing to contribute to nurturing that potential of yours."
Shinichi/Conan's eyes grew wide with surprise. Chief Oricorio and her sisters were willing to train him in things he didn't know. Just how much did she see in him that even her sisters were willing to step in and help? But then he rewound the conversation in his mind, clinging to the one word she spoke.
"Wait… School?" He had voiced his thoughts unintentionally.
The fiery red bird looked amused, out of all the things she said, he was hung up on school. She chuckled a little, "Yes, school. Even though you're training under all of us, you still need your education. It will help you learn how to read, write, as well as understand basics of survival and battling. School will help with this and more, but we'll also teach you things to help refine those lessons as we guide you."
The thought of going to school filled him with both interest and dread. What made him feel interested was the fact of learning something he didn't know, while what made him feel dread was the other subjects. Would he have to learn first grade knowledge for the third time? It was troublesome when he knew complex math like algebra, pre-calculus, and geometry, but having to repeat basic times tables and write them over and over again was something he didn't want to put up with again. But if this world had different things to teach, especially now there were whole other species to consider and him being one himself, it could be better and not mind-numbingly boring as before. Wait, did he just think this was the third time? Never mind, he needed to press for more information.
"So… where exactly would I go to school?"
"Here on the island, we have the Pokéschool. All the children living on the surrounding islands commute here to learn."
"I see."
"Now then," she turned to green gecko who had been silent for awhile, "Treeko, we need to discuss your role in this now."
"My role?"
"I observed earlier how well you and Piplup get along. I made it no secret to say that you two are like brother around each other." Treeko blushed, a bit embarressed by what the Chief had said.
She then looked at the young boy, "I can also see you're getting comfortable with Treeko as well."
Conan/Shinichi blushed a little too, he glanced at the also embarrassed Treeko. "Well, Treeko-nii-san was the one who helped me all this time." He replied quietly.
The bird had not missed what he said and neither did the gecko show as smilingly at his statement. "Well, since you two get along so well, can I make a request of you as well Treeko?"
"A request?"
"I would like to place him under your care. You will be his official caretaker until we find his family."
"Ch… Chief I…" He stuttered.
"There's more."
"More, what more Chief?"
"Because he will under your care, I would like to extend this offer to you as well. You and he will both be under our wings."
"What?! Why?"
She pointed wing like a pointer finger waving it back and forth as she spoke, "Don't think I haven't noticed your presence around cases. Whether through the officer reports or me personally being around, nine times out of ten, I'm not surprised to find you around." She smiled cunningly. "I believe you want to learn too, but have been so afraid to approach us, am I wrong?"
"Yes chief, I mean no chief! You're not wrong… but…"
"It's a lot think about, I know. But I believe that there is potential in you as there is in him. To be honest, I have been wanting to approach you for awhile, but we always seem to be out of sync, your rhythm not matching with mine. We both miss the beat and pass by each other."
Treeko was stunned, all this time, the Chief wanted to approach him? He would always assume that he was going to be dismissed off the scene and simply kept his distance all this time.
The red bird looked directly at Treeko and then shifted to Little Pip, "So, what do you say? Will you accept our mentorship?"
"Chief, out of every job I've seen, I've always been drawn to the Police work. The way you all go above and beyond to help the community in the little every day problems to the biggest of cases requiring you all to put yourselves out there on the line, I just admired it so much. I, just don't know what to say."
Chief Oricorio looked at Treeko who was only trembling, probably with excitement. "So, is this a yes?"
This will affect both Little Pip and I. Should I accept the chief's order?
| Yes No |

| Yes •No |
━━ • NO OPTION • ━━
He was overwhelmed by her words, but he shook his head sighing, "No, Chief, as much as I would love to be mentored under you all but I just don't know."
"I see. What about you Piplup, what do you say about this?"
Conan/Shinichi looks up to Treeko-nii-san, he could tell his body was trembling with excitement from her offer, but his face looked concerned for his wellbeing. The gecko was just thinking about him, wanting him to be able to go about life at his own pace. But he could see it, he really wanted this but was making choice about both of their futures. This opportunity couldn't be taken away, it would not only help him, but let Treeko-nii-san fulfill his dream.
"Chief-san, I want to do it, but only if he can come learn with me too."
"Pip, what are you doing?"
"I can tell, you want this more than ever. But you're thinking about me, aren't you?"
"Yes, but…"
"But nothing, you shouldn't take this for granted. If you don't take this, you'll never be able to get anywhere or fulfill your dreams. You'll be stuck at the start, zero. Nothing would ever get anywhere if you don't depart from there." He looked serious, words so profound from the young one who seemed years older.
"You're young, what about your safety?"
"Weren't you listening to the chief? She and her sisters are willing to train us. We can learn to handle what the world throws our way. Come on Treeko-nii-san, don't waste this opportunity." He pleaded with the gecko.

"It's all so much to consider," Treeko looked up at the chief both with hope and conflict in his eyes, "You… you really see something in me like Little Pip here?"
"Even before the little boy came onto the scene, I've been wanting to approach you. Though this little Piplup's presence just made opportunity timely. It finally brought us together." It was all she said.
He was overwhelmed, "Then… yes, Chief, It'd be an honor to be mentored under you all."
"Well, then, how about you young one, what do you say to this?"
Conan/Shinichi looks up to Treeko-nii-san, he could see that this really meant a lot to him. He didn't know the exact reason why the green gecko wanted to work in the force, but he could tell that this was a step closer to his dream come true. As for him, it made him smile a little.
"I still never got my conformation from you, Piplup." He was attentive now, quickly glancing back at the happy gecko and then turning to face the Chief.
"Oh, right."
"Since Treeko agrees, what do you say?"
He thought about this earlier, when she first brought it up. He weighed all the benefits and drawbacks to accepting this. But looking back at the happy gecko who really wanted this, he thought, 'Since Treeko-nii-san will be with me, why not?'
"Chief," he looked up at her confidently, "I want to learn along side Treeko-nii-san. I want to help him with his dream too." For some reason, he sounded so childish and sure, but he didn't care. He felt like he wanted to help the one who helped him since the first meeting. Where was this blind trust and confidence coming from, he didn't know. But, he felt that things were looking up and he was ready for what was to come.

"I promise boys, we won't let you down." Both boys firmly nodded as they smiled so confidently.
Then like a spark, the chief remembered something, "Ah Treeko, I forgot to mention, since you both will be under our wings, we'll handle the costs for you housing and food. If you want, we can even get you a hut near the island so it's easier for you to commute. You two are our responsibility now, so we'll help you out with anything while under us. That should ease your concerns, am I correct?"
"Yes, but are y…" Treeko was interrupted by the Chief.
"I'm sure, my sisters and I all agreed to this before hand. They had also been eyeing you as well Treeko, especially when we gather and I happened to drop your name once in awhile about you hovering around our cases."
Treeko looked away, deciding to keep quiet. But just then, there was a knock at the door interrupting their meeting. Ralts had door and spoke, "Chief, they're here and they need your assistance."
The chief looked at Ralts and responded quite tiredly, "Again? Alright, I'll see to them in a bit. Escort them to meeting room A if it's unoccupied and let them know I'll be with them shortly."
Ralts saluted and left, Chief Oricorio muttered a few words that both Treeko and Conan/Shinichi were able catch. These words were, "Why is it him again?" And "This isn't even my area of expertise. That flashy illusional thief." And "I still don't even think this phantom exists." The rest offer words were too muddled to understand.
She deeply sighed before refocusing herself onto the duo, "We'll talk more about this later. Don't worry about the paperwork for Piplup's enrollment, it will all be setting by the next time we meet." Treeko nodded hesitantly.
"For now, just take him back to your place. I'll have someone deliver an extra bed of grass for him if you need it. Also I'll have Ralts give you the option to teleport home if needed. I must go now." She sighed tiredly, looking slightly annoyed about the situation. Whoever this thief was, they were apparently giving the Chief a hard time.
Without being able to get another word in, they were escorted out of the office and Chief Oricorio went down the hall to another room where Ralts was waiting outside. Once she enters, he, Little Pip, and Officer Ralts were left all alone. Ralts looked at the two as he observed Piplup looking thoughtful while Treeko looked troubled.
"Hey you two…" The duo looked at the officer curiously.
"Would you like me to teleport you home as the Chief instructed?"
Treeko shook his head, "No, that's okay, there's still daylight and I was hoping to walk anyway. It will give me a chance to show Little Pip around town and a bit of the island."
"But isn't your house on the opposite side of the island, close to the Pokéschool?" Treeko simply nodded while Little Pip wasn't paying attention, still thinking about whatever it was he was thinking about.
"I see," Ralts hummed, "I didn't hear everything in your conversation with the Chief, but it seems as if you both have a lot to think about and discuss." Treeko nodded once, until he heard a rumbling noise from someone. It turned out to come from Little Pip who was now blushing because he was embarrassed about feeling hungry.
Ralts heard it and remembered something, using a move, two small papers floated into Treeko's hand. Treeko was confused for a second, not sure what these were about.
"Here, I won these the other day at a lottery roll. They're two vouchers to a free meal at Oranguru's place. I was saving them for a special occasion, but I think you two may enjoy them more."
"What, I can't…" Ralts interrupted Treeko while pushing his hand away. "Please, I insist. Besides, he's always has an open ear if you ever want to just talk things or just complain about anything."
Treeko looked at the tickets in hand and just said, "Thank you."
"It's no problem. Get yourselves a good meal before getting home now. Okay?" Ralts turned and left, heading toward the room where the Chief headed into.
Before Conan/Shinichi's stomach interrupted Treeko-nii-san's and Officer Ralts-san's conversation, he had been been silent the whole time thinking about the conversation in the office. In the end, we're going to be under the Chief's wing and Treeko-nii-san was going to be an official temporary guardian while he was here. What would that mean exactly. The gecko was definitely caught off guard, obviously the responsibility wasn't something he was expecting or prepared for. Also, according to the Chief, he suspected that he didn't have enough finances to support the two of then, at least until she decided to step in. Would him being in the nii-san's life be alright? Treeko still seemed to be hesitant about the arrangements for him to stay at his house, why? Too many questions were all swimming in circles in his mind. He really waned that notebook to write everything down. It would help him better focus and get a grasp on the situation at hand.
Treeko had been staring at Little Pip for awhile. He had such. Thoughtful look upon his face again, it made him seem older than he appeared. Just what exactly was he thinking about? No, he could probably guess. Little Pip must have been thinking of school and the temporary guardian status that he was to have in the boy's life. Treeko looked back at the tickets Ralts had given to him to Oranguru's place, which doubled as a restaurant and berry juice bar. He was getting hungry, they had been at the station most of the morning and now a little part of the noon time. He could eat, and it would give him an opportunity to feed Little Pip too.
Treeko then firmly places his pam on Little Pip's shoulder. The penguin blinks a few times before looking up to him wide eyed and curious. "Yes, Treeko-nii-san?"
Treeko smiled a bit, he no longer looked like a miniature adult, he was back to that childlike innocent face. "Well Little Pip, we've been standing here a bit too long. How about let's go out and I show you around town before heading off to eat?"
"Oh?"
"If you're going to be staying here awhile, may as well know the ins and outs of town."
"Okay!" Little Pip chipped in a high pitchy voice. Treeko chose not to comment on how childish he sounded as they proceeded to walk out of the station.
To Be Continu...Wait... What?
*? ? ? P.O.V.*
Walking the streets of this resort like island town was amazing. The fresh island breeze, the beautiful beaches, and the many stalls selling all kinds of food really brought the vacation like feel. He would have loved to relax, but he was here on a mission.
"I wonder how the police are doing with my notice?" he snickered to himself.
As he walked by the station, he noticed two Pokémon coming out, a green gecko-like Pokémon which he knew was a Treeko. He had seen on several occasions around the island. The Treeko was being accompanied by an unfamiliar face, a tiny blue penguin, really small compared to other Pokémon he'd seen. Probably a runt. But something caught his eye, the little one was wearing accessories, a big red bowtie and some oversized black framed glasses. He was curious, so he decided to pass them by as they were heading in the opposite direction.
"So Little Pip, ready to see the sights?" The Treeko asked.
'Little Pip, huh? Cute name, guess the penguin is a child.'
The little blue penguin looked around the city in awe, like it was the first time seeing the town.
The little penguin was too distracted to respond as he admired the town. Guess it was "Little Pip's" first time seeing it all. How cute!
Treeko looked at Little Pip as he gazed at the sight, but he waved his hand in front of his face, "Um… Hello? Piplup, you there?"
The Pokémon he now knew was Piplup snapped out of his starry eyed daze, "Ah, sorry Treeko-nii-san, I don't know what came over me."
That voice, why did it sound so familiar? Also, honorifics?
Treeko patted the small Piplup on the head smiling, "It's okay to be excited by this vacation town, it's a pretty sight."
"Unn!" Piplup sounded in agreement.
"Ready for me to show you around?"
"Haii!" Piplup's tone changed to a more high pitchy excited childish voice.
"Right, let's go!"
The voice of the Piplup bothered him. Why did his body twitch so unpleasantly when he first spoke? It wasn't a fearful twitch as those, he shudders, the finny things. No, this feeling was familiar. He couldn't help but look back at the duo as they continued down the opposite direction. For some reason, the little Piplup turned back too and their eyes met. They stared at each other for a good long while until Treeko had noticed Little Pip wasn't following him anymore and called out. Immediately the little one ran back to the Treeko trying to catch up.
In that moment, when they looked at each other, a memory from his past entered his mind and filled up a little. On a rooftop overlooking a city, he saw the silhouette of a little boy who he could not make out the facial feature, though he can see the large black glasses that rested upon his face. He wore a blue suit with a giant red bowtie on his neck, his messy hair as black as coffee beans with distinct feature of a cowlick hung below obscuring his eyes and glasses all the more. He was lighting firework and soon the helicopters came, police ready to take action. He shook his head, that little Pokémon triggered a memory of that time. He could only wonder as he watched the duo faded from view.
He was as a loss, 'Could it be? How? Was it possible? Was there a version of him here? Or is it really…'
The only word from his many thoughts escaped his lips, "Meitantei?"

Weren't expecting that were you? Can you guess who that was? Most likely you can. XD So, let's go over some things, just in case:
Looks like that Conan personality is slipping through a bit, the childish responses to questions and all that. He got use to answering some questions in his sweet Conan ways, that he won't think too hard about it, unless someone brings it up like Treeko. He's got lots to organize now. You'll get your notebook soon Pip.
The symbol I used the shape of the Z crystal, think of a Lycanium Z or Sulgalium Z for reference, not my best use of imagination for a symbol, but I tried. The badges that everyone has for the station are more shaped like type Z crytals E.G. Firium Z. Badges will differ for each section. Explorer and Rescuer badges will have a similar design with the puffy winged badges of past games and use the Z crystal shape upright instead of on its side.
As for the Chief, a discussion with her sisters has brought her feet to the ground and back to level-headed thinking. Each Oricorio sister has their own Psychic partner that can help them communicate easily. Well, except the Pa'u Style Oricorio since she's already half. But we won't see them yet.
If you picked the No option first, you probably saw Treeko is not exactly the most confident, but he is the type to put other priorities over his own. He wants things, but hasn't gone for the goal. If you picked the Yes option first, Treeko was in the moment, doing something he would not normally do. Basically he was overwhelmed by the given choice and the thought of there being a potential in him to be successful in his dream work. Hopefully it flowed well regardless of the No then Yes, or just the Yes choice.
Now off the record, I wrote this a little differently before rewriting it to what you just read now. I'm still wondering even now if I should keep this final P.O.V. or kept it for a future chapter. What do you think? Final note, I am nearly caught up with all the pre-written chapters, so it will be a much longer wait for the next new chapter. (Wow these note are getting longer and longer.)
Oh and Thank-Q to all who are following and favored the story! Your support is appreciated, and I hope you enjoy what is to come!
So Thank-Q for reading, see you whenever it's the next chapter...!
