Jubilee
My alarm clock woke me up at 9:30 a.m. I crawled out of bed, tired as usual, but I could still see that Gality wasn't in the room. Must be working on more technology, I thought. I got up and looked at my new dresser. I picked out the pinkish colored dress, put it on, and looked at myself in the mirror that Gality apparently installed as well. The dress was a darker pink in most areas, with more of a Psychic pink spiral going down the sleeves, and The Remnant logo on the back of both sleeves. I walked out of the door to see Selena standing there. She looked at my choice of clothes, with a mildly interested face. "Jubilee, where did you get that?"
"Gality made it."
"He sure is impressive, isn't he? Isn't he also making technology?"
"Apparently. I don't know where he finds the time, but I am not complaining. What are you doing this morning?"
"I'm going to walk up to the conference room with you." Selena motioned for me to walk. "Let's get moving!" We walked into the elevator and hit the appropriate button.
"Selena, Gality found out about our mission."
"How did he do that?"
"He read my mind last night." Selena chuckled.
"Figures. If the man can combine two moves together into an explosion of psychic energy, mind reading isn't out of his league." The door opened, and we walked through the corridors until we arrived at the conference room.
Red
I watched from the opposite side of the table as the two ladies walked into the conference room and sat down.
"Hello, ladies, how is the morning so far?" Steven asked in his usual gentlemen-like demeanor.
"Well, I haven't done much, and Jubilee over here woke up about twenty minutes ago!" Selena replied. Jubilee stayed quiet on the matter.
"Well, regardless, Mrs. Jubilee, we would like for you to help our youth learn how to aim their special moves." Cynthia declared. This could either go well, I thought. Or this could be the most mistake ever to plague The Remnant. Selena looked happy for Jubilee, however Jubilee looked stone-faced, like usual.
"Alright then, when do I start?" Jubilee questioned.
"Follow me!" Steven exclaimed as Jubilee and Selena followed him out of the room. Cynthia walked over to me.
"Red, do you think that we are doing the right thing here?" I shrugged.
"I agree with Red." Blue agreed.
"Well, let's us hope that this changes the girl. Gality really believes in her. He is a really nice Pokemon, so let's hope that he is right!" Cynthia prayed.
Jubilee
I can't believe that they hired a previous murderer as a teacher of the young! I thought as I walked down the stairs of the arena. "So, Jubilee, today you will tell them how to hit a target dummy. We have about twenty on the east wall, if they do break them. Selena, you watch in case of emergency." Steven explained as he closed the door behind Selena and I. Standing in the middle of the arena was Helen, a Metang, a Horsea, and a Fennekin.
"Hello, young ones!" I said, attempting to be as cheery as possible. "I see you guys have come to learn about aiming of moves?" All of them nodded in unison. "Great! I'm going to be teaching you those skills!" The Metang raised its hand. "What Metang?"
"Will we be able to do what your friend Gality did? Also, my name is Henry."
"Well, first you must be able to fire off one accurate attack. Plus, even I don't know how to do that!" Henry looked slightly disappointed. "Let's get back on track. Our goal is to be able to try to hit that training dummy over there." I pointed at the styrofoam dummy. "Try to aim towards the red circle. Helen, I would like for you to try first." Helen walked over to where I was standing. She stood there and charged Focus Blast and then fired, sending her flying backward about ten feet and the Focus Blast missing by about 20 feet to the left. "Well, it wasn't a bad attempt, however you tried to absolutely obliterate the dummy. Don't try as hard. A smaller blast will work." Helen walked back up to the line and fired again, this time staying standing and almost tagging the dummy on the ear. "Better. Now, I want to to stare at the target. Focus on it." Helen stared down the target, and fired a Focus Blast, which tagged the dummy square in the face, knocking it over. "Well done!" I complimented as I went over to pick up the dummy. "What is your name?" I asked, pointing at the Fennekin.
"My name is Inferno."
"Alright, Inferno, let's see what you have!" Inferno eyed the target, then fired Ember, which hit the dummy in the foot. "Good." I started to go pick up the dummy again when I thought of something. "Why am I walking over there?" The kinds stared at me as I used Telekinesis to put the dummy back into place. The kids looked on in awe as the dummy righted itself. "Henry, it's your turn!" Henry also eyed the target, charged Zen Headbutt, and fired the blast, hitting the dummy in the arm, making it do a spin. "Nice. Now, what is your name?"
"My name is Randall." The Horsea replied.
"Well, Randall, fire away!" Randall eyed the target and used Water Gun, hitting the dummy in the waist. "That was solid all around. Now, true aiming only comes from practice. I have practiced for 20 years, and I could still be better. Now, this is where you will be at some point." I closed my eyes, jumped, spun in the air, and fired a Moonblast, destroying the dummy into twenty pieces.
"Wow!" All the kids gawked in unison.
"Well, that's all for today. Dismissed!" Helen ran over to Selena, and the other three kids ran up to their parents in the spectator area. I walked over to Selena, who was carrying Helen on her shoulders.
"Not too shabby!" Selena laughed. "This class is every two days. Think you can handle it?"
"Yeah. If the kids stay like this, I would do this every day!" I pronounced as I walked back to the room with Selena and Helen.
Steven
I walked through the door to see Gality mounting another piece of paper to the wall. He turned around to see me inspecting his drawings. "What is this stuff, and what do you plan to do?" I asked him as he got out of his chair as started walking around.
"Well, you wanted me to make weapons for an army, right?" I nodded. "The easy part is engineering the input for the machine, but the hardest part is finding the right material. The drawings you see up all over the room are rough outlines for devices that would increase the power of one specific input type. Obviously, I can make the machines fior the fours stones I already have, but I know that all eighteen types have a corresponding material. However, I only know the location of two: The fighling stones are found outside of the port city of Tavabrook, and the dragonstone is found… in my old community."
"The fighting one should be somewhat easier then?"
"Correct. However, I would have to go to make sure that we are gathering the correct substance."
"I see. Well, on a separate note, I see that you and Jubilee are wearing different did you have time to make those?" I asked while analyzing Gality's outfit. The shirt was dark red with a pink cross down the center, and the pants were pure dark red with pink accents at the bottom of the pant leg, and Remnant logos on each of the sleeves and pant legs.
"Easy question. I really didn't."
"Oh. Well, I will let you go back to what you were doing." I walked out of the room, slightly concerned. How hard can that man work? I thought.
Jubilee
I swung the table tennis paddle and missed the ball again. "Shoot!" I exclaimed.
"Well, you can't just win automatically, Jubilee. Do you want to take a break?" I nodded and me and Selena went and sat on two of the chairs in the game room. I looked around to make sure no one else was in the room.
"Selena, do you remember last night when I said that I did some questionable things?"
"Yeah. What about it?" I sighed.
"Well, four days ago, I woke up in the Gardevoir village and was called to the Mayor's office to talk to him. He said that I was going to be exiled because of my aggressive behavior, and then I used Guillotine on him." Selena was drawn aback.
"You know Guillotine?! How?"
"Well, I was angry at my mother one time at the community, so I ran away and crossed the Arctic River. I walked up to the top of the mountain, because I liked to pretend that I could squish the town. However, I saw an illuminated cave on the mountain, and walked in. An old man stood there, and he said he could teach me Guillotine if I killed 75 Vanillish for him. Since I thought it would help me kill faster, I did as instructed, and then learned Telekinesis afterwards to make me a more efficient murderer. Selena, I'm not a good person! I don't know how I even have a friend because everyone I know, I kill!" I felt a tear go down my face, and Selena putting her arms around me.
"It's okay, Jubilee. It's okay. I had to kill 100 Lucario to help Luke and me escape. No one is innocent in this world. What matters is what you choose to be." I lift up my head and put my hand on Selena's shoulder.
"Thanks, Selena. You're a good friend. I think it's time for us to be going to sleep." Selena looked up at the clock displaying ten o'clock at night.
"You're right. Let's get moving!"
I waved goodnight to Selena as I walked into my room to see Gality sitting on his bed with his Pajamas on. I started to switch into mine as he started talking. "So, Jubilee, we need to go to Tavabrook city in two days to retrieve fighling stone to create a device to boost fighting moves. You in?"
"Yes, as long as I can get my lesson for the youth in first!"
"Oh, yeah, Luke told me about that. How was it?"
"I was originally dreading it, but I see myself in the kids. Back when I was young, I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a Psychic!"
"That's nice. How do you feel about using technology?"
"I'm sorry Gality, but I don't want to use your technology. It seems unnatural to me."
"Understandable. So, it seems like you like hanging out with Selena?"
"Yes. She is very nice and understanding, and she fights similar to me."
"Well, I'm happy that you have made some friends. However, I think that it's time for me to settle down." Gality laid down in his bed and tucked the blanket over him. I did the same, and let the darkness of sleep envelop me.
