What up guys, chapter 7 is here, i'm sorry if its too short and i'm sorry if i'm far too late for an update but i promise that it will all change in the near future ;-; If you read my bio that means that you'll be looking for current updates. I don't have much time left since i don't have any internet and i don't have much time in school, thank you for being patient.
"You know? The night sky makes people see more clearly then the sun's rays, isn't that right Pikachu?" Ash said in a whisper, not wanting to wake up his exhausted yellow friend.
Far away, but still in the Kanto region, twenty-three year old Ash Ketchum, proclaimed Kanto's champion, and also the strongest champion to date, is relaxing with his most trusted companion Pikachu who he had obtained at the age of ten due to being remotely late.
'Still, best decision I made in my entire life, without my little buddy, hell, I don't know where I'd be right now. Still, I wish there were times where I could just go back in time and fix what stupid me could have done better! Hell I was the son of a god-damn prodigy!' Ash sighed, there was no reason to think about the past, and he smiled softly and petted the head of his tired yellow rodent.
'They've been pushing themselves too hard... That's good. Keeps them in shape and almost unbeatable.' His thoughts were disrupted when the yellow yawned cutely and cooed his little head on his master's soft-yet-rough hands.
"Glad you're awake Pi, I guess the training is really getting to you huh? Sucks to say that it's only going to get tougher, we still need like three or four more years to go."
The rodent scoffed at his master before chuckling and licking his hand, yipping his own name, he jumped unto his master's lap and rested there.
"Pi, Pikachu pi?"
"Yeah it's been a long while since we've been here, I recall catching my first Pokémon here... Thirteen years ago..."
"Pika, pika pika chupi pichu pi."
"Yeah... I remember clearly what happened that day..." The rodent cursed himself, like always, his master would always feel terrible about his past friends, and he didn't miss them, that was pretty obvious, but the adventures, the one-sided romance, the crushes. Who wouldn't feel terrible if one day they just up and left? "Pikapi..."
"I understand Pi, but remember we're no longer kids. The choices we make today, define who we will become later down the road. Don't get me wrong, I still pretty much hate my past friends for the shit that they did but in all honesty, that's water under the bridge."
"Chu pi?"
"No, it's too early for forgiveness, they had the chance to find me but only one of them ever truly wanted to see if I was okay. Reality hurts you know? I always thought that my friends would be there by my side, in a sense, they are. But not the ones that I expected. When worlds cross, something special is born, it's called a bond. You obvious know that because of the way you're looking at me. But what people tend to forget that, even when bonds are formed, they can be severed. No one is truly ready when the bonds between two individual's break, hell. I wasn't ready when you decided to leave me to train the remainder of the Pokémon that truly wanted to become the best." This remark made the rodent jump a bit then fall down in a depressive manner.
"Pi... Pikachu pika! Pichu pi kachu pi!"
"I know you meant it when you said you were sorry, I'm still going to use what you did against you. Maybe you should've thought of, I don't know, 'not leaving your first trainer alone in the world while no one believed in him and left him and the few remaining Pokémon that truly wanted to surpass legends, alone for two whole years while you went and had mates and had children then you came back because you missed what we had.' I already told you that I wasn't going to let you back in and I meant it. If it wasn't for Meganium being way too kind then you would have never been a part of our dysfunctional family."
"Kachu!"
"Sure, whatever makes you float?" A small chuckle escaped the man's mouth and patted the head of his yellow rodent. "All jokes aside, I'm glad that you decided to come back even after all the hard work outs that I made you endure."
A silence filled the entire forest; he knew that he was only joking for the most part of his conversation with his fellow companion. 'Funny how I even understand them. Yet I don't question my sanity when I talk to them like I talk to any other person in this world.' The man chuckled and allowed the wind to tire his body out.
"Pikapi, chupi chuka?" The rodent asked in a teasing manner. This made the young man blush a bit before composing himself.
"It was okay, she was nervous for the most part. Though I was able to loosen her up a bit and actually enjoyed my time with her. All-in-all, it was like a regular date, only it was with a smocking hot, super-star, sexy-ass champion. I'm surprised she only had one boyfriend, then again... The life of a champion really is troublesome."
"Chupi kachu?"
"N-nothing happened." He turned to see his rodent looking at him with a devilish smile. "I-I swear nothing happened. Oh don't give me that look! We were just having a good time. We could have had more time together if her damn fan club didn't come by the window and started insulting me, and wanting to battle to claim her heart."
"Pikachu pika?"
"OH YEAH! Oh my Arceus, you should have seen the look on Sonia's face when I agreed to be Cynthia's date. By the gods she was fuming and it was so hilarious! The face she made was priceless!" The man boasted laughing; disrupting the ethereal silence that once consumed the forest of Viridian. "You know, it's funny. Even though I know I'm twenty-three, and my document's say I'm twenty-three and while everyone else that knows me, know I'm twenty-three. I can't help but feel like I'm at my teens. Specifically, at the age of eighteen. Life is way too short Pi. And here I am talking like an old man again, I swear."
True to word that Ash never felt like he had hit his twenties, he always felt like he had been trapped in his teens. He never really did anything teen like related, mostly because he was always goofing off and training his Pokémon here and there, most of his time, he'd always been travelling with his friends and he never really met anyone else. 'It's almost sad.'
"Pika, pika pika chu?"
"I don't blame them, I don't blame them for hindering my training, if anything I think lil' old Team Rocket could be responsible why I still was such a novice despite me being years more experienced than most trainers. Though i do feel like they were part of the reason why i never truly evolved in the sense of battle, i, even though young, allowed this to happen so I couldn't just blame them for it. I was a kid Pi, what can i say? I was way too naive about the world, i just wanted to go out and prove to my father that i wanted to be the best. I threw caution to the wind and ventured outside the comforting home of mine. In the end, the choice that each and every one of us makes defines us. I've told you many times before."
"Pika, chu pika pi, pi chu pika pika chu?"
"What's with the sudden change of tone?"
"Pika! Pika chu pikapi, chupika pikachu!" He rodent snarled and jumped off his trainer's lap, the rodent proceeded to belittle his own master about the current events that unfolded yet he worries little about what he's supposed to be actually doing.
A long sigh escaped the young master. "I know you are very angry Pi, and i can assume that everyone else is pretty angry at me not taking Paul seriously. But i already made my decision the moment he was sent to prison." This got his Pokémon's ear to perk up. "Believe me that he will be properly punished for what he tried to do. Regardless, i have other things to worry about than to worry about a notorious want to-be throne-stealing-champion trainer like Paul. All my Pokémon have to worry about is being in shape okay? That means you to Pi; sometimes i get the feeling that you think you're human. Come on, go wake up Charizard, we need to be in the Supreme Court at three p.m." With that, the young man dashed away. Leaving a yellow rodent alone. Sighing in defeat, the rodent obliged by his master's command and proceeded to wake up an orange overgrown lizard with wings.
Cynthia was lying in a soft queen size bed she had just arrived from her date with a certain Kanto champion, at the beginning it was quite awkward and both seemed to be nervous, in the few minutes that they got their food, the Kanto champion had gotten to revoke the awkwardness around them and were able to enjoy their time together. She had a wonderful time, better dates than the ones her ex-boyfriend took her out too. Unlike her ex, the Ketchum had grace, he always asked if she was okay with anything and asked what she wanted to do, at the same time, he also made choices for the both to enjoy, he was what most women wanted, a confident, nice man with a great smile.
"Oh, looks like the mail arrived!. Yes! The new release of Volume 72 is being released in a few days! I can't wait to buy it!"
There was no denying it, Cynthia was an Otaku.
She had been drawing to both anime and manga's since she was a child, since she had a decent and wealthy family, along with being an only child, she was spoiled rotten. She had massive collections of manga's and anime, she unlike most people, actually bought the merchandise so they would continue doing their work that she solely loves. She also a quite collection of books, she was a book-worm, she enjoyed reading books just as much as she enjoyed anime and manga, she was an Otaku at its finest. Though there was one thing that she was so ashamed of being, she hid it most out of all her embarrassments.
'Ash had really strong arms, i noticed that they were very chiseled, my Arceus. If only i hadn't been a little more embarrassed and a little bolder i could have felt such chiseled arms and body. Not to mention with his handsome face! OH! ~ I just get warm and fuzzy when i see those strong chiseled arms!'
Yes, Cynthia Shinora, is a closet pervert.
One cannot deny that once they've seen it, lucky for her, only her mother and her only Elite 4 member know about her perverse side, though her mother sees it unfit for a champion, she still loves and accepts her. Bertha sees no problem with their young champion being a pervert, so she doesn't mind her daughter-figure to be perverted, though she wished sometimes that she wasn't a pervert at all.
"Okay, okay Cynthia! You can think about the hot raven later. You have diplomatic issues to solve." With that, she started to work on the things that Champions hated to do most.
Paperwork.
Skimming through most of the boring paperwork she only attended her focus on the actual issues that mattered, land construction, peace treaties and reviewing legislature documents, either trying to pass laws or simply trying to inform the champion in certain aspects. She then perked up when she received a document that requires her attention.
"So the Supreme Court of Kanto wishes for all champions to be present, not surprising, all of us were there when Paul tried to kill his Pokémon and the champion. Though the decision is solely on the Champion himself, he will be punished by the legislator and the judicial for his crimes even if Ash pardon's him, which i highly doubt he will." She sighed loudly. "Why is having diplomatic power so stressful!?"
Finishing with the little paperwork, which was still a lot. She went to take a quick shower before heading out to bed.
'I wonder if he'll take me out again?' Cynthia thought softly as she drifted back to sleep.
Tomorrow was the day. The day where Paul Shinji is executed via syringe or punished for life.
None of those options will determine a happy life in the end.
His hands were sweating bullets, he was very nervous, he was being already sent to the Supreme Court, he was within the compound and in one of the few cells that they have. No matter how'd he see things, no matter how many words his head came up with, he still couldn't see himself being held in prison. No matter how many times he's thought this through.
The result would always be executed via syringe.
He sighed heavily, looks like this was his time. He didn't even do anything worth remembering.
In fact, he actually did far worse; he would definitely go to the distortion world where he'd be tortured for his sins. He was sweating and shaking a little. With an extended sigh, he calmed down his coiling blood and proceeded to walk in a circle so he can think of more inspirational words, if he could at least be held in prison for life, he'd ask his brother to take care of his Pokémon.
His Pokémon. Pokémon. Those words echoed into his mind. Come to think of it, he'd never been fully nice to his Pokémon at all, there was a time where he was caring, that was when he was defeated by Ash and proceeded to walk his kind path, which he was redirected because of how much more weak Ash had become following his own path.
"No matter what, i still can't shake the guilt. Even if it was just a week in prison... I don't know why but i feels like I've taken for granted many things in my life. My brother's ambitions, my Pokémon's feelings, and the friendship that i had with Ash at one point." 'Had I've been so blind to not see it? Or was it my conquest for power that drove me to hate again?'
He recalled when he first gotten his Turtwig, he witness the battle between his brother and Brandon the pyramid king. Where he swore that he'd become the best even if it took him any means to get it. He'd always wanted to become a Frontier Brain rather than an Elite 4, unlike Champions, Frontier Brain's had no restrictions in capturing any Pokémon. So he wanted to get strong by capturing or being able to train with such high level Pokémon.
Too bad that mentality got him where he's at right now.
He looked over the jail cell to see a security officer(not Jenny), he unlocked the cell and dragged him out to the Court itself, he was place on trial and was awaiting everyone else. In a matter of minutes after he was placed in the center of the court. Four of the five current champion had now been present and were awaiting the Kanto Champion had hadn't arrived. No sooner than twelve minutes passed, the Kanto champion arrived, though the actual trial couldn't start because one out of the nine Supreme Court judges hasn't arrived.
... They waited...
And waited...
Still waiting...
And waited...
BOOM!
The door was forcefully opened by a handsome mid-aged man around his mid-twenties, he had a goofy and confident grin in his face with an aura of greatness.
"Alright kids shut the hell up! Penis court is now in session!" He slammed his hammer to quiet down the quiet crowd...? "As none of you are aware of, i am the lead representative of this stupid court! My name is Zack Dorchen, my stupid father's name was Jacob Dorchen, while my awesome grand-pappy's name was Lou Dorchen, may that asshole rest in peace. Now that my fucking family line has been displayed on public I need you all to shut the hell up!" He slammed the hammer again for no reason while no one was talking.
Everyone except for the Supreme Judges and Ash himself, were very surprised by this man's actions, engulfing what he had just said a few moments after.
'This is the main judge?' Everyone looked at the man with a disappointing, or amused look. They witness he charging and hug tackling the Kanto Champion.
"Ash! My fucking brother from a different fucking mother! Where have you fucking been!? You visit your other friends yet you don't come to see me!? It doesn't matter you slimy piece of shit give me a hug! No-homo though."
The champion chuckled to himself.
"We'll catch up later Zack. Right now you have to do your second job."
He smiled at his friend who turned his back on him and smiled. "Your right! Now ladies and gents! Let's start the party!" he said confidently while he sat on his designated seat. "Now, what the hell is going on!?" He asked with a confident smile, which everyone else but Ash, dropped to the floor anime style, Ash simply sweat dropped.
"Didn't you read the report?" Asked an amused Ash.
"Who the fuck reads these days man!? Give me a fucking Poke-Chat(Snap-Chat) video man! I ain't got no time for reading! That's why my fucking hot ass girlfriend reads them for me, and she's off dealing with my trade businesses that i love so much! You have to be dependable like me in these types of relationships!"
"I highly doubt you're the dependable one, i mean, you can't even make breakfast for yourself." Retorted an amused champion.
"Don't dis the skills of a badass! I have you know I can make a badass cereal!" He boasted with laughter and looked at the report for once. "Okay let's move on!" He looked up when he heard mumbling like 'finally!' or 'thank you.' He smiled at that and proceeded to do his second job. "Okay gents, we're here to execute-"
"Or punish." Added a Court Judge who was much forced than willing to add that comment and gave Paul a deep angry glare.
"Or punish this bastard for his actions that he did on that day that i won't specify because i skimmed through most of this report! Now Oprah Winfrey, what do you have to say to yourself? What gave you the absolute right to do what you did that i won't specify!"
Paul didn't know whether to take this guy seriously or not. Nevertheless, he proceeded to speak.
"I had no right. I acted on my enraged feelings, i wasn't thinking straight and at the time, i just wanted to prove which of the two of us was better, in the week that i had been in that prison, though it was a small amount of time, i had learned to not take for granted the friendships and bonds that you share with people and Pokémon alike. It may not mean much coming from me, all of the champions are witnesses of my some what uncaring relationship with my during the past five years, and i know for a fact that they won't have a change of heart. But looking back at the time I've been a stupid child and looking at myself now, i will accept the consequences of my actions because i have nothing to prove that i have changed.
I was blinded by my envision of power, i just wanted to get stronger, i wanted to become better and because it wasn't looking like I'd have that dream accomplished anytime soon, i resorted to take my anger and frustrations out on everyone else who seemed unworthy of my time and skill. I truthfully regret all i did-"
"Such hypocrisy." Retorted a certain blonde woman. "You say you regret it all but all of us know they your just saying these words to save your ass from the death you deserve! You have no right to plead for your own life, you belittled every other trainer who didn't see your way, you crushed their dreams and then they gave up being trainers all-together because they saw the Pokémon world your way! Who the hell do you think you are trying to smoothen your own demise!?" Cynthia was now shedding tears due to her anger and frustration to the purple haired man.
"Order in the damn Court! You are not to speak unless i tell you to, ya' got that! I'll leave you with a damn warning cuz you're fucking hot but shut the hell up Blondie!" He slammed his hammer four times even though he only needed to slam it three times. "Proceed Oprah Winfrey."
"Despite all that's going on, i show no proof that i can change, and i don't want to smooth my own punishment." He stopped for a second and let his tears flow down at a slow pace. "I don't have anything else to say rather than to humbly apologize as a mortal and pathetic man to the Champion of Kanto."
The entire room was silent. No one spoke a word.
Until Zack opened his mouth that is.
"I want to get this over with, you all know what my decision will be, you know exactly what i think but I'm still curious to what you guys think.
The eight supreme court judges looked at him. "Truthfully he does deserve to be punished, but i think the sole decision is up to the Kanto Champion, you know how defensive he gets when the topic of killing someone is." One of the judges proclaimed.
"Do you all agree?" Asked Zack and he received seven different nods.
"Okay gents! We have reached the decision! I'm only trying to speed this up because i have somewhere to be! Now, the decision will be brought to the KC because we know that sexy bastard far too well. Now KC, what is your final decision to this dumb dilemma that i have no reason to be part of and just think you should execute this bastard, tell me. What is your decision?"
Ash stood there, thinking of his answer.
"I-"
The Supreme Court Doors were swung open, and five figures entered.
Next time on Kanto's Champion
Enter, Order of Peace!
