Jubilee

I looked around at my new location, which was somewhere else in the snowy forest. I saw Gality looking around at the trees and the sun, then he started walking in a direction. I followed him, but said nothing as he was clearly angry at me for starting the scuffle at the restaurant. I walked behind him for three hours and he said nothing. About two hours later, the sun set and he walked around to find another clearing. He did the same thing he did before, like cutting down the tree, splitting it, and taking sticks off the one. This time, however, he rubbed two sticks together to create fire. He motioned for me to sit, which I did, since my feet were tired, and he sat opposite of me. "Why did you do it!?" I turned around in a few directions to see who had said that, but only Gality has around. I can't believe the most threatening thing I have ever heard came from the most soft man I have ever met, I thought.

"Uhh.. becau…" I stuttered. Gality interrupted me.

"Answer the question!" I recoiled a little with that statement.

"The..uhh...waitress brought me the wrong meal?"

"You seem unsure about a striking action. Why?" Gality was truly starting to scare me at this point.

"Uhh…. I don't know?"

"Well, let me tell you why you don't know by telling you a story. When I was a young Gallade, just evolved, I was very overconfident. I walked into the Fighting School thinking that I could take on the world and win. Can you guess what happened? I lost every MATCH! In one of the matches, however, one thing happened that would change me. I lost a match to a slightly shorter Gallade, who hit me with a Psycho Cut after I was already down on the floor of the arena. The teacher had to carry me home, which absolutely disappointed my father. I sat in bed two days, thinking about how I could get my revenge. I even went to the library to study on how to make a pitfall. I set it up the day before I came back to school. The next day, I met the kid an hour before school and challenged him to a fight at my family arena. He accepted and we walked to the arena, apparently not seeing that I flipped over where the pitfall was. He fell in, and I filled in the hole after him. They never did find out what happened to that Gallade." I was staring at him, my mouth agape.

"You..you murdered someone for… no reason?"

"Well, no, I had a reason, well at least back then. However, after I got home from school that day, I went to my bed and sat there. I eventually laid down and stayed there, without sleep for two days. The longer I layed there, the more I thought about how I had murdered someone." Gality picked up the left side of his shirt, revealing a light green slash on the side of his body. "And I have to live with it every day." I continued just staring, not knowing what to do. "That is why I don't kill. Now, why did you really use Moonblast on that waitress?" I sat and thought in silence for a minute or so.

"Because I thought it was right."

"Yes, that is correct. Your fight cost the lives of a Poilwrath, Magikarp, and Lopunny. It caused me to have to face my old friends again, something I never wanted to do."

"Well, I'm sorry…" My speech trailed off. Gality looked up at the sky for a moment.

"Well, let's change the subject. Now that you are a reconizible renegade in most cities because of the security cameras in the restaurant, we need to take a different route than originally planned."

"Wait, how did you know they had security cameras?" I asked, then immediately knew the answer to my own question. "You have a gadget that can track that, don't you?" Gality nodded. "Also, on that note, how did you create that, and what is it?" I pointed to the pink metal on his forearms.

"Oh yeah, I should probably take these off." Gality clicked a button on the back of the pink metal gadget, and the device retracted back into a square, which Gality put back in his pocket. "This thing is made of Magic Essence, which turns psychic attacks that travel through it into a fairy attack. The Essence will shatter if it is hit by a poison or fire move, because both will turn it into dust. This design took me about three months to perfect. Currently, it only works for physical psychic moves, but I think that I could get it to work with special psychic moves."

"Does anything like that exist anywhere else?"

"I don't believe that the technology exists elsewhere." Gality sat on the ground and leaned on the log. "On a positive note, I did find a Technical Machine for Protect leaning against one of the boxes when we were escaping." Gality opened up the Technical Machine and looked at the screen, then he closed his eyes for a minute. He put the Technical Machine down and laid down on the ground.

I saw the Gallade giving the Gardevoir a blanket from a small machine, then do the same for himself. I walked back to the cliffside and imputed the code into the keypad, opening up the door. I walked through the door as it closed behind me. "So, how were the two outside?"

"The Gardevoir seems a tad iffy, since she did start that fight today. However, the Gallade seems very nice. He told the Gardevoir a story of him senselessly killing another Gallade, but that event is the reason he doesn't kill. He also created an invention that turned his Psycho Cut, I am going to assume, into a fairy move."

"Wow, that IS promising! Do you we can recruit them?"

"Well, I think that we could easily recruit the Gallade. He seems to be very stuck to his morals. The only hope I really see to recruit the Gardevoir is to prey on the fact that she is a renegade."

"Well, if that is the case, why try to recruit the Gardevoir?"

"From what I saw on the news, she is incredibly powerful, and is fearless."

"That could be a weakness and a strength."

"Well, you do know how useful that Gallade's inventions would be? Our Pokemon would hit extremely hard!"

"Yes, I do understand that. I will relay this to our esteemed leader. Hopefully these two will be able to help The Remnant, and maybe, just maybe, we can defeat the Renegade!"
