Gality

I woke up once again, before Jubilee. Luckily for her, I was less mad at her after some sleep. I started to pile the logs back by a tree, which is when I heard some snow crunching behind me. I expected to see Jubilee, but instead I saw a creature with long blonde hair and black garments walk towards me. "Who are you, and why are you in the middle of the woods?"

"I could ask you the same thing, but I know why you are here." That voice sounded familar, almost like..

"Cynthia, champion of Sinnoh?"

"Yes, Gality, that's me, though I didn't expect you to know my name. Where did you learn that?"

"I watched a few battles from the old trainers. They weren't exactly public." Just then, Jubilee started to get up. She sat up and looked over at me, somewhat groggy.

"So, Gality, where…!" Jubilee snapped to attention and hopped up onto her feet. "Human!" She fired a Moonblast, which I dived forward and used Protect to block it.

Cynthia

He was so far already far more advanced than I expected. "Jubilee, she didn't even do anything! Why are you opening fire?" Gality explained, trying to talk sense into Jubilee.

"I've heard stories about humans! They're dangerous, Gality!"

"And where did you hear those stories from? Your town? Because my town wasn't the most reliable, I don't know how correct yours was!" Jubilee put her hands out of attack position.

"I guess you may be correct. Fine! But if that human makes one aggressive move..!"

"I will not attack you, Mrs. Jubilee. However, I would like for you two to follow me." I started walking, and Gality eagerly followed, with Jubilee begrudgingly moving soon after. Gality caught up to me pretty quickly.

"Now, I have no problem believing that you could survive the war, but how are you still alive? It has been nearly 200 years since the war!" I shuddered at the thought of that terrible loss of life.

"I may disclose that information at a later date, but for now, I shall let you in our place for the moment. I stopped in front of the rock wall and pushed the rock numbers until the door opened. I walked through, and saw Gality awestruck at the rock contraption. "You know Gality, that contraption is nowhere near the level of your gauntlets that you were wearing last night." We kept walking forward until we got to the battle arena, then I stopped at the south end. "Mrs. Jubilee, will you please move over to the corner?" Jubilee pouted her way into the corner of the room.

"So, Cynthia, what is happening here?"

"Well, you are going to fight my Pokemon, and I will see what you can do!" Gality sighed.

"I'm going to assume that you eavesdropped on my speech last night, and you know that I hate fighting." I nodded. "Am I allowed to use my technology?"

"Yes Gality, I would actually like to see it in action."

"Final question: How many Pokemon am I fighting?"

"Currently, I have you fighting four, but I might have you fight less. You ready?" Gality nodded. "Go Milotic!" I shouted as I threw the Pokeball. The ball bounced back to me, and I caught it and I put it back on my belt. Gality pulled a yellow square out of his pocket, and he clicked the button on top of it. The yellow material shaped around his sword-like forearms and hands, sparking as it crawled. When it had fully coated his arms, he stood in his battle position, at least I presumed. "Mitotic, Ice Beam!" I shouted as the colorful serpent fired the beam, which Gality flipped over. He launched a Psycho Cut, which Milotic dodged by ducking. "Again, Milotic!" Milotic fired another Ice Beam, which Gality used Protect to block, sending the beam into the ceiling. "Milotic, Surf!" I bellowed as a large wave of water rushed towards Gality, which he, once again, Protected through. "Milotic, get closer and use Ice Beam!" Milotic charged forward and shot Ice Beam, but it hit the wall behind where Gality was because he had disappeared. Both Milotic and I looked around to find him, and that is when he appeared in front of me. He used Psycho Cut, which somehow hit Milotic and knocked her out in one hit. Just then, Gality ran over to Milotic and knelt down to make sure she was okay, and she was. "Gality, I appreciate the care for an enemy!"

"I don't make enemies, Cynthia, just find misunderstood people, thought that is not the case here."

Gality

"Okay, Cynthia, we have already seen enough!" Another familiar voice boomed over the loudspeaker.

"Steven Stone!" I remarked as the man himself walked out of a room apparently with one-way glass.

"Yes, Gality, and I have some others you may recognize if you know me!" Steven pointed at the door as two older teenagers walked through the door wearing blue and red, respectively.

"Red and Blue!"

"Yes Gality, that it who we are. That was a very inventive tactic. I have never seen a wild Pokemon keep Teleport!" Blue complimented.

"Now, I have seen footage of you old battles, and I don't remember Blue being the one giving out the most compliments."

"Well, Gality, times have changed. I have been here a while!"

"Now, Gality, it is time that I ask you what that is?" Steven questioned, looking at my electric devices.

"Steven, it is a device that is made of Zapily, which is supposedly made of lightning itself. I have routed it so it changes all of by Psycho Cuts to electric type moves."

"So, how many of those do you have?"

"Well, I have ones for electric, obviously, but I also have ones for fairy, bug and dark."

"Well, Gality" Cynthia interjected. "Do you know why we have brought you here?"

"Well, before you answer that question, can you go heal your Milotic? It is really worrying me!" Steven and Red looked at each other with small smiles.

"Yes, Gality, I will go do that." Cynthia walked over to the Milotic and fed it a potion, and it stood right up. Cynthia retracted the Pokemon into her Pokeball. "Well, Gality, do you know the answer to the question?"

"No, I do not."

"Well, let me tell you!" Blue said. "When we were all defeated by Giratina and possessed Arceus, we all retreated into a cave, which is this one right here!' Blue moved his hand out and motioned at the room that we were in, with metal walls and hanging lights. "We stayed here for nearly 200 years, gathering an army to defeat Giratina and save our world. Say, Gality, do you think there is a problem with this world, and if so, what is the problem?"

"I do think there is a problem, and that problem is the standard Pokemon mentality. Most Pokemon nowadays are very aggressive, and will kill each other on a whim. They will destroy themselves!" The four looked at each other with satisfaction.

"Well, Gality, would you like to join our group and our mission?" Steven inquired, learning towards me a little in order to hear my answer.

'Would it stop the fighting?" The four looked at each other. "Would it stop the senseless slaughter?"

"Yes, yes it would Gality!" Cynthia answered.

"Then I will join you."

"Good! Now, I would like for you to follow me, Red and Blue into that room over there. Cynthia, you watch the Gardevoir." Jubilee gave Steven a look of disgust as I followed the three into a room with four metal chairs and a metal table. I sat down on the side with one chair, and they sat down on the opposing side. "Now Gality, why do you have that Gardevoir follow you, though she clearly doesn't follow your beliefs?"

"Steven, I see potential in her. She could be a great Gardevoir, if she shook her current beliefs. She could be a good person. Plus, I believe that everyone can change, with the proper circumstances."

"Is there any other reasons?"

"Well, yes. I woke up in a jail cell with her on the opposite side. We were captured by a group of Sableye pirates, She kept attempting to hit the Sableye with Psychic because she didn't know what a dark type was. She didn't even know what a Sableye was! The Gallade and Gardevoir communities shield a lot from their inhabitants." Steven looked over at Red and Blue, and they both nodded their heads.

"Okay Gality, we will allow that Gardevoir to stay here. However, you have to be damage control."

"Alright. One tip: If you called her by her name, Jubilee, rather than Gardevoir, it would probably help!" Steven nodded.

"Noted, Gality. We will take you to your quarters in a little bit. In the meantime, welcome to The Remnant!"
