Here's the next chapter, a lot of breaks, but it's fine.

Enjoy!


CHAPTER 48:

It was early morning in Kalos as the sunrise was just heading over the horizon. In the apartment, Yugo was sleeping away on the bed, with Emma and Ghezirha sleeping on top of him. He wasn't getting squashed, but he was buried and finally…

He woke up from some weight pressing against his lungs. Looking up, he squirmed from under Emma and got out of the bed. He looked around and saw that Reeka still wasn't back. Rolling his eyes, he went into the main room to still see nothing… oh wait, Fafner was laying on the couch. Yugo went over and shook Fafner, "Hey, hey."

Fafner mumbled something. However, Yugo didn't have time and just shook the crap out of him as the Typhlosion yelled, "Huh, whu, huh?!"

Yugo asked, "I thought you were supposed to watch Reeka?"

"Reeka? She knocked me out before I could do anything."

"Oh great, she's now 'missing' and when she comes back it's going to be hell for me and her."

He went to the door and walked out as he assumed she just went out to make it look like something. Skipping time, Yugo made it to the Pokécenter and, inside, he checked in, got his uniform and began the day with whatever job he got stuck with.

First trip was a simply checkup, second was heavy water burns on an Incineroar, which he was helping Vena with. As they worked, Yugo asked her, "So, how's attempting to… *smirks* date Franco going?"

She blushed hard as she said, "I... thought you were going to get him?"

"Yeah, but I forgot and relaxed from the hell of what happened."

"Oh."

She changed the conversation and asked, "H-how's your life?"

"Eh, needs work."

(In Dahara)

Inside the manor of Wafu, it was breakfast time as everyone sat around the table and had their meal. Joining in last was Korrina and Roland, but two seats were still left just for them. Once they took them and began to eat, Wafu then asked, announcing, "Now then, I'm well sure that you're wondering who everyone else is. No proper introductions were given and since you have joined, I shall begin."

He stood and had his arm go to each one, "You've already met Alphonse, Jan, and Florian. These are the main fighters of the group alongside King *points to the Charizard*, then you have the twins *points to the twins* Anna and Kanna, and then the large group, the Quintet, Sakuya, Himiko, Oda, and Meiji. And before you ask, there is only four right now. The fifth one, Nadeshiko, is not here."

Korrina asked, "Oh… where is she?"

"She was sent on a small mission to go and find someone, no worries."

"So, um… what exactly will we do?"

"Well, seeing as you got in by some unexpected means…"

He glared to Clement who tried hard not to show a grin. "…and not by the usual method, I'll have you placed in a less… violent situation."

"Um… thanks for doing that."

"Welcome… now I do want something for you to understand however."

She got nervous, "Yes?"

Wafu explained, "Do to you being new and having some special matters, etcetera, etcetera, you will be supervised for a while by Jan and Alphonse."

She looked over as the two tall Pokémon looked to her. Roland told her, 'Don't worry, they might look scary, but they're not that bad.'

"Now then, let's finish and then we can begin the day's work."

(At Italy's cabin)

Frank was in a piss mood. The depressed kind, not the pissed off kind. He's had to deal with Rocket's new moving in, Giovanni and Midori fighting, Kanto's destruction halting a lot of transactions, and his latest scam of rigging an election… well, first to join it and then rig it.

He called up Lysander since he had to know something on the national politics. After a couple of rings, he did pick up and ask, "What is it Italy?"

Frank asked, "Um… what do you know on politics?"

"I know to avoid them, why?"

"I need you to help me rig the Kalos election…"

"Yeeeaaaah, I'm pretty sure we already have issues way worse than that."

"I know, I know, but I'm looking at it as a long run thing."

"Mhm, and let's say I go with this… as soon as you step in, you're entire history file with be dug up and you will be destroyed forever. There's no point in gambling a chance to rule the nation if you are covered in every kind of scum that exists."

Frank hated to agree, but he was right. He nodded, "Alright, I guess that is a good point."

"Besides, there's a somewhat more serious issue we have."

"And that would be?"

"Despite getting rid of the Scarlet Dagger and pushing Team Honoris in their places, we've found something a little more troubling."

"Like?"

"Well… it seems we found ourselves having some dagger members in our presence. We got rid of them, but at the same time, it poses the question on are there more in other Teams?"

Frank remained silent, then nodded, "Ok… I guess we can play like that. Tell everyone, sift them out… get them arrested."

"Don't you mean executed?"

"Nah, rather have the police go after them so it makes it easier on us."

"Mmm… also, Giovanni and I have been discussing the latest relations with the, so called, Iron Syndicate."

"And?"

"We would like it if you terminated that relationship."

Frank asked, "Why so?"

"Doing anything with that Wafu character is like a child playing with a match… watch the house burn down."

"Yeah, well, I got no house that's burning down… yet. Besides… why should I get rid of Wafu on the whole deal?"

"The Iron Syndicate was helping the Scarlet Dagger as much as Honoris. Of course nobody expected Plasma to rebuild itself… but the point I want to make is…"

Frank raised a hand. He sighed, "All you want… is for me… to tell Wafu to leave… and to mark the group off. Is that it?"

Lysander nodded, "Yes."

No answer was given. Italy nodded, "I'll think about it."

(Back to Yugo, time skip)

At lunch time, Vena and Yugo were on their break, trying to enjoy something to get the memory off of an attached Charizard twin. In their closet break space, they were eating their lunch, and of course Yugo popped in the question, "So how long until she comes here?"

Vena answered, "I'm not sure, but she'll show up around… um… past lunch?"

"Yeah, I doubt it."

They finished up and left the closet, and just as they did so, a nurse came to them and asked Vena, "Vena, did you by any chance get a shrink?"

Vena asked, "An Oranguru?"

She nodded, "She's standing at the desk asking for you."

"Ok, I'll be there."

The nurse walked on as Vena grabbed Yugo's hand, "Come on."

And she pulled him that way to the lobby, and there was an Oranguru standing at the desk. Vena came in and cheered, "Hello!"

The Oranguru turned and smiled, "Ah Vena, haven't seen you since the last session."

Vena gave a sweatdrop as Yugo asked, "Last session?"

"Before I explain, let me introduce myself. I am Haunani, the Pokémon version of a psychiatrist and mental health expert."

"Do you charge?"

"Most times, no. Unless it is something very challenging and severe, I do it for no charge."

"Cool, I'm broke as fuck right now, so you're perfect."

She gave an unimpressed smile, "I see."

"So… what did you mean by…"

"Oh she never told? She was one of my patients."

Vena blushed red as Yugo asked, "So you actually knew…"

Vena shrugged with a sheepish smile, "I… uh… kinda ran out of ideas. This worked for me… maybe it'll work as well."

Haunani, however, asked, "Now, where is this Emma of yours?"

Yugo said, screwing up again, "Oh, well… uh, she's not here right now… after work I can get her."

She sighed, irritated by the situation, "Well then, when does the shift end?"

Vena answered, "Around 6."

"Then by then, I'll be here and hopefully your friend as well."

She turned around and left the center, leaving Yugo and Vena alone as then a doctor came over and told them, "There's a Growlithe who's got a broken leg, report there this instant!"

(At 5:55PM)

Yugo said to hell with it and ran off to the apartment to get Emma, and in doing so…

He was locked out. He banged on the door, "Judas!"

Nobody answered. He banged on the door again as he yelled, "Open up! This is my room!"

The knob turned as a head peaked out, being Ghezirha's. Yugo asked, "Why didn't anyone hear me?"

She answered, "They left and went to the tent."

"Ok… so who's here?"

"Uh, me and Emma."

"And nobody heard?"

"Umm…"

Then a voice was heard, "Who is it Ghezirha?"

"Yugo."

After a minute, Emma's head popped up as she asked, "Um… is it a bad time?"

Yugo asked, "What do you…"

He peaked in and Emma with nothing on as he then assumed, "Where you two doing something?"

Both nodded their heads as they gained small blushes. "Fine, I'm not mad, but I need Emma because we got the character to fix her head."

She asked, "Um… should I…"

"Get dressed… let's go."

The door closed in Yugo's face and a minute later, Emma stepped out wearing her leaf clothes and thus the two went along to the center.

Once there, Haunani asked immediately for a room, which Vena gave her one of the checkup rooms. Inside the room, Emma sat on the table as Haunani climbed on up and stood next to her. She asked Yugo, "Ok, so before I begin, what is her condition?"

Yugo shrugged, "Trauma?"

"Of?"

"Rape."

"Well with the way she looks, no wonder."

He added, "As a Snivy."

"Oh… that's different. Well then, I'll simply take a look. Close your eyes my dear."

Emma closed her eyes as she started to get anxious. The Oranguru put her hands around her head and closed her eyes as well, "Now… let's see what we have."

Nothing for a minute, but then she started to see further into Emma's head. Her expression became more of frustration than anything else. Then she jumped as she let go. She blinked in confusion as Emma was still. Haunani asked Yugo, "What did she have again?"

He answered, "Uh, didn't Vena tell you?"

Vena had a sweatdrop, "I only told her that she had a… mental problem?"

She squeaked the last couple of words as Yugo grabbed his hair, "Please tell me you can deal with a psychopath."

Haunani sweated herself, "Um, not exactly to that degree."

"But you solved Vena…"

"She wasn't literally a psychopath."

"Figures, I got this Yandere creep inside Emma's head…"

"A what?"

She got very leery and worried as Yugo explained, "This other personality… is kinda the reeeal murderer that's… also obsessive on me… could you… kinda fix it?"

"If I knew of this, I might've actually refused. I can try…"

Emma's eyes snapped open as she whipped out a sword and swung it, missing the guru, but hitting Vena, slicing a mark on her face. Yugo jumped and grabbed her by the neck, which Emma then had vines grab him and choke him slowly. She moved his face next to hers, "I'm… back…"

He was freaking out…

Emma's eyes flickered and closed as she collapsed onto the table. Haunani was looking sort of stressed as she took a deep breath, "This may take a more extensive route than what I planned."

Yugo asked, "And… you can fix it?"

"Say it again and I won't."

"Sorry."

"But yes, I can. You're worried and I don't blame you. However, just like Vena here, it doesn't work perfectly. The triggering effect will activate whenever something similar to the original event happens. All I can say is don't try anything risky. And you know exactly what I mean."

She said it stricter as Yugo got what she meant. "Anyway, because of how severe this is, I will have to have her here for a while."

"Alright. Thanks though."

'And I'll charge you for this.'

'I might take it back.'

He left the room, carrying Vena along since she passed out from the outburst, and after bringing her to the front, he left the center, alone, off to the apartment. Once he got there, it turned the knob and found it was unlocked this time, lucky for him. He walked in and found it surprisingly quiet. He looked around and then asked, "Ghezirha?"

A moment soon and her head poked out from the bedroom as she smiled, "Hi Yugo!"

"Nobody else is here?"

"No, how's Emma?"

"She's getting her head fixed. By tomorrow, she'll be good."

"Ok."

"Where's Reeka?"

"I don't know, you haven't seen her either?"

"No, and for the first time, I'm actually worried. She's either really trying to scare me… or she did what I think she just did."

"What's that?"

(On the Kalos Route)

"Running off… what a greeeeat idea."

Reeka sarcastically said as she was walking down the route away from the city. She was fed up with being the last girl on the list and how Yugo spent more time with Emma and Ghezirha than her. She was his first Pokémon, she was the first one to mate with him, and all he does is give the other two more attention… or at least in her mind.

Right now, she was starting to regret as the cold was getting to her, she was hungry, she basically gave up on the team and said to hell with it. And if she went back, Yugo would most likely scream at her for doing that.

She stopped and sat down, trying to take a break before she couldn't walk and froze to death. Her head was going insane on this whole thing and all she had now was two options and neither one she liked. But as things turned bleak, a voice appeared, "Hello there."

Reeka looked around, then stood up, forming a bone rush. "Now, now, I'm not going to harm you."

Two men appeared as the one talking, a Greninja wearing a coat, continued, "I was sent to talk to either you or your trainer."

Reeka put away the bone, "Alright, and what do you want from me?"

"Nothing much… just…"

She gave a half grin, "A little option or independence you might like."

Reeka raised a brow, "What do you mean?"

"Well, my superior says he wanted to see if you were willing to join his group."

"What, some criminal bullshit?"

"No, something a little better… a syndicate. If not, we'll continue on to see your trainer."

She began to walk away from Reeka as the Lucario quickly halted, "Wait."

The coated amphibian stopped as she asked, "Yes?"

"If I join… does that mean… I don't have to… be attached to anyone?"

She looked and nodded, "Of course. Everything will be explained."

Reeka started getting into it, "And if I join whatever the hell this group of yours is, can I choose whatever I want?"

"In positions? Definitely… unless he says otherwise."

"Who's he?"

She giggled, "You'll find out. But do we agree?"

She raised her hand out as Reeka smiled, mentally giving Yugo the middle finger, as she shook hands. The Greninja also said, "Names Nadeshiko by the way."

Reeka nodded, "Reeka."

And they went the way that the group originally came from, ending the night with new worries with treachery and alliances.
