Pokémon: Schatten der Vergangenheit:
Chapter 4: Zwei
Itzal snuggled into the woman's arms, her azure eyes widened in shock. He had finally found his mother, after all these years, she had a Gengar just like Grandpa Fuji said. The woman continued to hold the child unsure of what to do. As if by fate, Ingo and Emmet came around the corner. Ingo was extremely surprised to see the same boy he met a couple of days ago hugging his girlfriend. Emmet was just as surprised but manage to ask,
"Noiro…? Who's that you're holding?" Noiro smiled at the duo,
"Well… It seems my son was causing trouble at the market…" Ingo couldn't believe his ears,
"S-Son…?" Emmet was just as surprised, not only had they met the boy but he was their girlfriend's child. Itzal noticed the two disturbed Subway Masters,
"Hey! You're the guys who fed me!" It was Noiro's turn to be shocked,
"Y-You've met them?" Itzal nodded,
"Yeah, at the Gear Station… You're wearing the same outfit… You work there too, Mama?" Noiro was a little taken back by her new name, but as she thought about it, it could've been the night she got completely wasted in high school. She explained that to her boyfriends who at this point were completely dumbfounded.
"How… This can't…" Ingo stuttered, trying to make a complete phrase. Emmet was too shocked to speak, Itzal however was overjoyed.
"I can't believe it Mama! After all these years after you left Lavender I found you!" Noiro petted his head,
"R-Right… Lavender… Who is your grandfather…?" Itzal thought about it,
"Well… There's Grandpa Fuji, Grandpa Blaine, and Mr. Alex …" Noiro perked at the name Alex,
"Do you know if Mr. Alex is your mother's father?" Itzal shrugged,
"Well… They all raised me together after you gave birth to me in the Pokémon tower and left." Noiro went silent, and the twins glared at the boy. Itzal caught the glares and hid in Noiro's arms,
"Ces hommes sont effrayants ..." Ingo raised an eyebrow, confused at why the boy was speaking French. He couldn't understand it of course, until Noiro said,
"Those men are scary… That's what he said…" Emmet gaped,
"You speak French?" Noiro nodded,
"My father taught me." She looked down to the white haired boy in her arms,
"What is your name?" Itzal smiled,
"Itzal! It means shadow in Basque, you really like that name!" The woman smiled,
"That is a nice name…" Itzal laughed, when his stomach suddenly growled loudly. Itzal's pale face flushed,
"I guess I'm really hungry, huh?" Noiro looked to her co-workers,
"You said he was like this when you met him, right?" The two nodded, she looked back to the boy,
"Where have you been sleeping? Have you eaten anything decent?" Itzal rubbed the back off his head,
"Well… I ate all the food I brought and I've been sleeping in the alleys, but my ghost have kept me warm." Noiro's face saddened,
"You can't be serious…?" Itzal nodded, his stomach whining loudly. Noiro picked the boy up and began her way to the apartment, the twins looked at each other in shock and followed their girlfriend,
Itzal flopped on the couch, bouncing on the cushions. He smiled.
"This is really fluffy!" Noiro smiled,
"It is isn't it~?" Itzal giggled and cuddled into the blankets, snuggling deep into them. Noiro patted his head,
"Is there anything you would like?" Itzal cupped his chin,
"Um… Can we have ramen…?" Noiro nodded,
"Sure~ anything you want." Itzal grinned,
"Thanks, Maman~!" She ruffled his hair and went to make dinner, Itzal sighed as he snuggled into the blankets, forgetting his mission with Mewtwo. Ingo sat in an armchair watching the boy, Emmet also glared at the boy, not wanting to share Noiro with a stranger. After 30 minutes or so, Noiro returned with a bowl of ramen and handed it to Itzal. Itzal took it gratefully and devoured the bowl in a matter of minutes. Noiro watched him with a slight smile on her face, the boy managed to finish 3 bowls and Noiro sat next to him. Ingo and Emmet glared at the boy, who gulped and hid behind the young woman.
"Maman ... Ils me fais peur ..." Noiro looked over to the twins,
"You're making him feel uncomfortable, guys." Ingo scoffed and Emmet crossed his arms. Itzal felt nervous, this wasn't like the last time, now they were filled with animosity toward him. It was because they were in love with his precious mama, and he didn't like it. His papa had died for both of them, why was his mama with other men anyway? The boy snuck off, not wanting to deal with the twins, the adults had no idea he left.
It was Ingo who spotted Itzal missing, he sighed,
"Where's the boy?" Emmet and Noiro looked at him, they had no clue. Ingo growled and went up to find the child, his brother followed.
Meanwhile, Itzal was helping himself to the brothers' fridge. Gulping down various foodstuffs, until a shuffling noise caught his attention. Looking out the window he saw two Eevees snuggling to keep each other warm. His face sadden, wondering who would abandon them, and started climbing out the window to the Pokémon below. The small boy went over to the cardboard box that was housing the two Eevees from the cold. One of the Eevees growled slightly, protecting the shiny one. Itzal smiled,
"It's O.K. I won't hurt you… You guys must be scared, huh?" The first Eevee kept his ears alert, still not trusting the albino child. Itzal shivered and sneezed,
"I know what it's like to be alone… With Papa dead and Mama on her own journey, the Pokémon Tower can be a lonely place. But, the ghost are the best friends anyone could ask for!" The older Eevee relaxed slightly, watching the boy with a slight curiosity now. Itzal rubbed his hands together,
"You know… I'm actually jealous… I wish I had a brother or sister like you have…" The Eevee stared into the child's crimson eyes, as if he was reading them. Itzal shivered harder,
"W-Well… I'd really hate to leave you two alone… Maybe… if you want… you and your brother can come with me? I know it's silly but…" The older Eevee nuzzled against Itzal's stick like leg, purring softly, the shiny followed up as well. Itzal smiled widely,
"Great! It's really nice to have more friends!" The Eevees cried out in joy, jumping and nuzzling Itzal's face. The youth giggled,
"You guys are really fuzzy!" A sudden breeze made the trio shiver, Itzal could tell this wasn't an ordinary breeze. Coming out of the shadows was Mewtwo, a stern look graced his features.
"Itzal… You must stop running off like that! You know we have a mission! A very important one at that!" Itzal sighed,
"Sorry, Mewtwo…" Mewtwo cut him off,
"Enough! Come along… You have a very important mission." Itzal shivered, he didn't like the sound of that.
Yeah, a pretty short chapter, but believe me the next one is very action packed! Noiro belongs to my best internet friend, Tuna and please remember to R&R~
