WE DID IT! I AM HAPPY WITH THIS CHAPTER! Well, hello by the way. Before we begin, I want you to know something. In todays chapter you'll get to know the Police Officer of Metro City. The Officer is an OC by myself. If you know my YouTube Channel, especially my german Fanfic "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Walross Edition" you'll also know this character, because he is the MAIN CHARACTER of the Fanfiction-Series! Be ready to meet Günter.
And the chapter is a little longer than the other ones, I know and I hope you like it. Originally what you get today should only be around HALF of the chapter, but it turned out MUCH longer than I thought... well, this means you'll have to wait until next time to meet the third main character of the story... Please Read and Review. Have fun!
Chapter 3: The Officer of Metro Village
Fate's POV:
The next few days I did not do anything important. Most of the time I just lied down, trying to sleep and sometimes I talked to my new friend. I was told many important things about this world. One time I tried to ask Thunder about himself again, but he refused to tell me anything I didn't already know. It was pretty disappointing, but I could not blame him. Whatever has happened to him already has to be very bad and he doesn't even know me at all. I would've liked to change that, but I couldn't as I did not even know myself…
Still we talked a lot and to me it felt like we grew a little closer. I can't really tell how he felt though… Thunder is a very serious person and seems to be lost in thoughts very often. What I am a little worried about is, that he often shows signs of depression, even if I don't know why. But it just had proven my theory about his past being very bad again! After around a week I was able to walk again. Thunder seemed pretty surprised to see this. "That's pretty uncommon. After what Darkrai did to you it would`ve been normal if you'd take at least a month to be able to do that again. If you'd be lucky. But most likely a Pokemon would not be able to walk like that EVER again, after meeting this guy, if they'd even survive…"
The same day he decided it would be time for me to meet the police officer. He would be something like my boss, if I'd want to fight the Slaves of the Dark too. This also caused me leaving Thunder's house for the first time after waking up. The moment I stepped out of the door I was speechless. The city I saw was WAY bigger than anything I could've ever imagined. (A/N: The cities in the world of Pokemon are not big, Metro Village is very likely one of the biggest cities in there and still only has around 500 inhabitants.) Thunder seemed pretty amused about my expression. "I know, it's pretty overwhelming if you see it for the first time. You'll get used to it very soon. But for now: Welcome to Metro Village!" As I asked him to, he agreed to show me around before visiting the police station.
"And finally, this is the place we're supposed to be. The police station! If you can't remember where some place is, feel free to ask me again." "Thank you Thunder. You're really helping me a lot!" The moment he answered back, I believe was the first time I ever saw him smile. "With pleasure! It's my duty to help others! Are you ready to go in?" I just nodded.
From the inside the police station was way more modern than it seemed from the outside. The old building held many technical devices I never saw before. A lot of Pokemon were running around, seeming to be stressed. Most of them carried some papers. A few of them stopped to greet Thunder for a second before going on. They didn't even seem to realize me being here. After a few minutes we reached a big wooden door. There was a sign on it. It said "Officer G." Without hesitation, Thunder stepped inside the room.
As we entered, the Pokemon inside did not even look in our direction. It was talking into a phone and seemed pretty pissed. The Officer used one hand trying to tell us to sit down while yelling at the Pokemon on the other side of the phone. As he went on yelling, I had a few minutes to look around and to identify the species of the Officer. He had a rough, blue skin and a big mouth. His Species is called "Totodile", based on what Thunder told me. The room we were sitting inside of was decorated with many pictures of Pokemon, mostly seeming pretty violent. On the other side there were many medals and awards. Seeing all of them, I knew that my new boss was a good Police Man… but I was scared that he would be too rude as I heard him yelling again.
A few minutes went by before he spoke. "No! That's my last word! Deal with it or you're fired!" He hung up the phone pretty harshly and sighed. As he was finally done, he started talking to us, his eyes still closed. "What do you guys want? I'm pretty busy right now, so just hurry!" I did not really know what to say, but Thunder seemed pretty relaxed. "I know you're stressed, but it`s still rude not to look at somebody you're talking with!" Finally, the Totodile opened his eyes and threw a glance in Thunder's direction. "Oh it's you Thunder. You did not come for a long time. I started to believe you went missing!" "Nope, you don't need to make yourself hopes. I just had to do some important things!" For the first time after entering the building somebody looked at me. The Officer did not seem happy. "I already see what's going on. You caught another one of them, didn't you. Spit it out, what were you ordered to do, Miss?" I was a little scared, because of the way the Totodile looked at me. Thunder explained what was really going on. "No! No, that's not it this time! She is not one of the Slaves!" Even if he seemed to calm down a little, he still looked at me with an scary look. "If that's the case, then why did you bring this girl here?" "I want to help fighting the Slaves of the Dark too!" The Officer`s expression became confused for a moment, before he started laughing. "That's a great joke, really! I needed that laugh after all this work. But I don't really have time for…" He stopped speaking as he looked at me and Thunder, both not laughing at all. "You two are serious, aren't you?" "Yes, we are? Do you have any problems with it?" His amused face disappeared quickly. "Of course I do! Thunder, you know that we can't just let everybody join us! We need strong fighters, not some random girls! You can't join!" I did not expect an answer like that, so I was pretty shocked. But Thunder just seemed calm as before. "With her it's something else! I know your rules and I would not bring her here, if I would not believe she'd be able to help. She's special! Around a week ago I found her, unconscious and hurt badly. For the time until now I helped her healing. And I saw her wounds!" Thunder`s look became a little worried. "She wasn't just attacked by some Rookie like many other Pokemon, she was hurt by the Energy of Nightmares! Darkrai himself tried to kill her!"
The Totodile eyed me again. "Darkrai attacked her… Darkrai himself? Why should he do this?" "That's the other problem… I don't know. I just woke up inside of Thunder's house a few days ago without any memories at all." The Officer looked at me, no sign of believe in his eyes. "So, you two want to tell me that Darkrai, the leader and founder of the Slaves himself, tried to kill this little Vulpix. But he did NOT succeed. But sadly, nobody knows WHY he even attacked you? Because you sadly lost your memories? But luckily you recovered from your near-death experience within ONE single week?" I nervously looked at Thunder, before the Officer went on. "That's cool! Finally something interesting happens! You're in girl!" Now it was my turn to be confused. "What? Did you think I'd not believe you? I tell you girl, if I'd not believe my own man, I could just join the Slaves as well! If Thunder says that it's true, then I believe it! And because I know it's true I DEFINITLY want to know what the heck you did to piss off Darkrai. Too, if I'd just throw you out, you wouldn't have any chance to survive with Darkrai being after you."
I was really happy to be accepted into the police forces. Maybe I was a little TOO excited, even if I don`t really know why to be honest… I was just happy and hugged Thunder by accident. As I realised what I did, I instantly pushed myself away from him. He just looked at me, a little confused and blushed. I believe I did too. The Officer just started to laugh. "Well, since you two get along so well, you'll work together. You'll get the rest of the day to relax. From tomorrow on you'll help Thunder fighting the Slaves. Since you just joined today and have no experience you're a low ranked member. You will assist Thunder; he will be your boss until you've proven yourself worth of a better position." "Okay, I will do that boss!" The Officer just laughed again. "You don't need to call me boss. Just call me Officer Günter like most of the others. But I'd prefer Officer G!" Thunder nudged my side. "Come on, I think we should go and let Günter work on for today!" The moment he stopped talking, the phone on the table started to ring again and Günter bid us a short Farewell as we left…
