Opening Notes: On one website (FF .Net) I have a new user name or whatever the hell you call it but this is still done by the same writer!!!! This is still done by the original guy!
Attention! Attention! I have a very good reason for this late update!
I did not update this Friday for three reasons. One of them is three paragraphs below this paragraph, and the other is because......I-CON! All this weekend I was at I-Con. Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. You have not lived until you've been to I-Con. (You can skip this paragraph if you want. I am just going to rant about I-Con.) Anyway, the first thing I did upon arriving at I-con was........get a Yoshi ride! Thats right! There was a Yoshi cosplayer and he was giving free Yoshi rides! Anyway, I was cosplaying a random Jonin the first day and a random Akatsuki member the second and third day. I bought a real Shuriken (Courtesy of Michelle) and I bought a real Kunai. I also bought metal-plated fingerless gloves (Just like Kakashi's) I went to a gaming room in the Marriot, Where I owned people in SSBB and DDR. I met a billion awesome cosplayers, my friend proposed to his GF on stage in front of everyone, and a lot of other stuff happened. I also met this awesome girl at I-Con named Kristen. She was like the most awesome girl ever. (Except you Michelle) Plus she was hot! She had my favorite physical attractions, which is blond hair and blue or green eyes. (I prefer green, and thats what hers was!) The second day the cosplayed sexy Jutsu Naruto (VERY sexy) and the third day she did a female Deidara. (STILL sexy) But I am saddened too.....because I never found a Zack Fair, from Crisis Core. I found a Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Vincent, Sephiroth, and like everyone else from FFVII.......just no Zack. Seriously. I am not ashamed to admit the fact that I am a guy and if I found a Zack I would have glomped him. Anyway, I got glomped by a lot of people just because I had an Akatsuki robe. It was great. I found a dude dressed in a penguin suit. I called him a prinny. He threatened to kick my ass. He said that if someone else called him a "Fuckin prinny ONE MORE TIME..." anyway, I called him a prinny, and he was like "MOTHER FUCKER!" But, the most awesome guy ever was......PROTOMAN! THERE WAS A PROTOMAN THERE, AND HE WAS FUCKING AMAZING! HE WAS.......I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN IT! YOU JUST HAD TO MEET HIM! IT WAS INSANE! But whatever. I am too lazy to rant anymore. Maybe at the end of the chapter.
Okay, now the second reason why this is late, is because it was school vacation. I was simply too lazy to do much of anything during vacation, so...yeah...School was out for like twelve days. I ways to lazy to do much of anything during vacation.
I would like to thank everybody that reviewed, I didn't get any bad reviews yet, so I'd say I'm doing pretty damn good. So, thanx for all the good reviews, but remember, reviews can be used to say anything you want to say. You can congratulate me like you've been, or if you have questions, concerns, comments, etc. etc. feel free to type that in there as well. I need you readers to give me some negative feedback. I have been getting reviews about how the story is great and people like my characters and the like, but I haven't really had to change much in order to get you guys to like me. So...where are the critics? Come on, I have almost no bad reviews, and I am just a starting writer! This is only my third fanfiction, where are all the reviews telling me about how my grammar sucks, how the story is terrible, how I don't update fast enough, how I make it hard to understand! Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that almost all my reviews are good, but what the hell!? As far as I know, my writing is novice-like. I don't believe I am as good as you people are saying that I am. Please, someone give me some damn negative feedback! (I still want positive feedback too!) But I DON'T want you to make up negative feedback. I want you to say what is wrong with the story that is ACTULLY WRONG WITH THE STORY! Again, don't get me wrong, but I do not like negative feedback, its just that I feel like you guys are pitying me or something. Don't hold back with your reviews, I can take it!
Second of all, I've decided...FUCK FRIDAY! I'm going to have a weekly release, just like I said, but not on Fridays. I'm going to have the weekly release be on SUNDAY. This way I have Saturday to work on it, and part of Sunday too.
Okay, now a few of you realized that Vernon is a bit to good at, well...everything. Now, before you assume anything, I would like to say that Vernon has had to actually EARN IT! You will see what I mean. Vernon gets a lot of character development this chapter, so you will see exactly why he is as good at things as he is. And, just for the record, I HAVE hidden those exact weapons all at a time, just to see if I successfully could. Just to prove my point, I walked into a bank, right in front of security. Nobody noticed a damn thing. In fact, it is REALLY easy. And also, just for the record, Vernon's weapons weren't really "Hidden" Per Se, it's just that nobody ever noticed them because he tends to keep them out of direct line of sight. You will see why he carries them during this chapter.
As for Josky, I suppose I MAY be able to add him in.....actually....I may just have a way to fit him in this chapter...I just thought of it as I wrote this, and it wouldn't change the story too much...read to find out! But in all seriousness, I can fit him in this chapter, but I'm sorry, I will have to make some changes to his character.
Now, as I've stated before, Vernon is based HEAVILY off of me. As I have described Vernon to you is exactly how I am. Anyway, I have lived a VERY hard life. I need to be good at everything. You can ask any of my friends, I am good at every single thing I try. Now, I am not conceited or showing off or any of that, it's just that I have experienced so many things that I am suited for just about anything and everything. The skills I have gained allow me to be as good as I am at everything. (Michelle, I would greatly appreciate it if you left a review telling them this. You and all my friends know it's all true) Now, I know I have already said this, but I am NOT being conceited. I do NOT think I am better than you. I am NOT a showoff. I AM good at just about everything. I wish that I could say it was just a gift, but I'd be lying, I've had to earn my skill, and it was VERY hard. I am also a VERY proficient hacker. I can literally get a list of myspace user names and passwords in less than five minutes. (Yes, even you, whomever is reading this) but don't worry, I respect privacy. I wouldn't actually do it....or would I? .......Nah...too lazy...
Sorry to destroy the pride of some of you guys, but I really AM pretty close to that size. I am 6 and 1/2 inches, but I am still a virgin.....unfortunately.....but just imagine when I'm not! I bet you guys didn't know this, but...when a guy loses their virginity...they grow an extra 1 inch to 2 and 1/2 inches! So when I finally lose it, I will be between 7 and 1/2 inches and 9 inches!
One of the reviews said "Why haven't you uploaded on ?" ....I'm sorry whoever reviewed this, but ? Is not a valid website. If you would kindly...I don't know....put IN a website, I would be most grateful. (you must put a space in between the website and the ".com" part in order for the link to appear)
Vernon gets a lot of character development this chapter, but just for the record, I am only doing the background just so you can understand why Vernon is the way he is.
ON WITH THE STORY!
~Story Start~
Last night, Vernon slept better than he had in a long while. He doesn't sleep every day of the week for a few reasons, one of them being he just has too much damn energy, but last night Cathrine had managed to wear him out fully and completely. He was awake now, however. Just laying there, reliving the memories.
'I never imagined that she would have so much stamina in bed.' he thought to himself.
'I mean, really, after that one time, she demanded another two tamings...not that I'm complaining. It was a crazy night after all.' he smiled at the memory.
Vernon didn't want to wake Cathrine, he was content to just lie there, but he knew that he had to leave soon, he DID want to make it to the new town, after all.
'Ah what the hell...I don't wanna get delayed another day, I'll wake her up now...'
Vernon looked over towards Cathrine, only to see her sleeping peacefully. She was such a beautiful Pokégirl. He didn't want to disturb her sleep, but unfortunately for him, he had to.
He reached over and lightly shook her shoulders, trying to wake her. Cathrine just rolled over, facing away from Vernon.
"Just five more minutes..." She grumbled out.
Vernon got up off the bed, and Cathrine smirked, thinking she was going to get a bit more sleep, but she became aware of the fact that she was not going to when she became freezing cold. Vernon had gotten off the bed and walked to the end of it before pulling the blankets off of Cathrine. Of course, Vernon had forgotten that neither of them had put any clothes on. Cathrine looked up at Vernon and was going to level a mean glare at him, but she couldn't. Once she looked up at Vernon, she could only stare. There Vernon was, right in front of her, in all his naked glory. Of course, Vernon was staring at her too. Apparently, neither one had had enough even though she had been Tamed three times the night before. Vernon eventually managed to tear his eyes away before throwing the blanket on top of Cathrine, in order to help with his temptation. Cathrine hadn't thought that Vernon would throw the blanket on top of her, and it landed on her head, hiding him from his vision.
During the ensuing confusion, Vernon had managed to throw on all of his clothes that were scattered around the room. Cathrine finally managed to get the blanket off the top of her head, only to see the disappointing site of a fully-clothed Vernon. Cathrine was wondering how the hell he managed to open his drawers and get fully clothed in like 30 seconds, but it didn't really matter all that much. Vernon picked up Cathrines clothes and handed them to her before walking out of the room, going rather fast the whole way.
Once Vernon was outside the room, all he could think was 'PHEW! Good thing I made it out when I did, I don't know if I would have been able to resist her for one more second......I hope she doesn't......uh oh.'
Vernon had just remembered that all Growlies love attention, they were basically attention whores. (*Cough*Cough* Michelle *Cough*Cough* XD I'm just joking!) He had just done one thing that Growlies generally hate the most. He had ignored her. 'Oh god...I hope she lets me explain...'
Over on the other side of the door, Cathrine was slightly depressed, but it was getting worse as she kept thinking about what just happened. Why would he just leave like that, what did she do? Was he having regrets? Did she not satisfy him? Did he not want her any more? These were the thoughts that were swimming around her head.
Cathrine slowly got up from the bed, and put all of her cloths on. She was now almost fully depressed. She had really thought that this was the one. The Tamer that would actually keep her. Vernon was the first person to show her genuine love and affection, not just want and desire...okay, there was want and desire, but it was heavily outweighed by the emotions she wanted to feel. But now...there was nothing.
She let out a choked sob as she finished putting her clothes on and headed towards the door.
Over on the other side, Vernon was wondering what was taking her so long, when he heard Cathrine sob on the other side of the door.
All he could think was '.......shit.' Vernon had made Cathrine cry. That was one of the last things he wanted to do. Cathrine opened the door and continued walking. Vernon saw that she had tears streaming down her face, even though she tried to hide it. Vernon reached out and grabbed her wrist. He spun her around and embracer her in a tight hug. She wasn't hugging him back though.
"I'm sorry.....I'm so sorry Cathrine.....I did something terrible.....I ignored you. I never meant to hurt you, I really care for you. I can guess what your thinking and I have an answer to your thoughts.". He pulled back a little bit and wiped away her tears with his thumb. "I'm not going anywhere without you. I'm sorry for not making this clearer before, but I am NEVER going to leave you or let you go....unless you wanted to leave me......God I hope that never happens. Cathrine, I know how you feel, I've been abandoned too...multiple times. I really am sorry for not telling you this. I'll try to make it up to you.......somehow. I had to leave the room because if I hadn't, there would be another Taming session going on right now. Not that that is a BAD thing, but I want to leave early......I'm so sorry, I really am..."
Cathrine decided it was her turn to say something. "Vernon....when you left the room in such a hurry....when you ignored me...I felt simply terrible. No, worse than terrible. It felt like my entire world was shattered. Like everything that happened between you and me was a lie. Like you were regretting all of it."
"Cathrine, nothing that happened between me and you was a lie. The emotions were all real. This is the truth: I am not going to leave you. I will never lie to you unless I need to for some reason that is very important, but it is highly unlikely. Everything we do is real, and I certainly regret NONE of it. Why would I regret being with a Pokégirl as beautiful as yourself? I don't even think it's possible for me to leave you."
Vernon reluctantly let go of Cathrine. Cathrine had nothing to say now. She was speechless.
Vernon had a huge smile plastered to his face once he realized that he was able to cheer up Cathrine. "Whelp" he said "let's get going! .....oh, wait a minute. I forgot some equipment. I need to go to the town for a little bit. Do you want to come, or do-"
Before Vernon could even get out the rest of the sentence Cathrine latched onto one of his arms.
"Well, I'll take that as a yes."
~In the Town~
Cathrine and Vernon had made it to the town relatively quickly. Vernon kept saying they needed to go faster to keep on schedule. On the way there, Vernon told Cathrine that he had to go to any one of the department stores. He had forgot a few items that he needed that he knew the stores would have. Cathrine hadn't said anything yet, but she noticed that as soon as she and Vernon had entered the town, he was tense. He entire body seemed to be clenched tight , and he was always looking around, as if expecting an attack. He wouldn't even walk in a straight line for more than two minutes, he would side step a little bit every once in a while. He absolutely refused to let somebody go behind him too. Cathrine would have to ask him about it later.
They finally arrived at the desired store, and entered. The inside seemed to hold more people than there were outside, and it was slightly cramped. Cathrine noticed that this only seemed to make Vernon even more tense, and he was walking faster, and looking around more too. He grabbed all the items he needed off the shelves and practically ran up to the cash register. Once all the items were paid for he didn't even wait for the cashier to bag the items. He grabbed a bag and started packing in the items as he was leaving the store. Once they were out of the store Cathrine heard Vernon release the breath he had been holding in. Afterwards he seemed to relax a little bit, but he wasn't truly okay until they actually left the town. Cathrine decided he would ask him about his odd behavior later. Right now she was too curious.
"So, Vernon, what did you even buy?"
Vernon, now at ease since leaving the town, opened up the bag and pulled out one thing within the bag.
"This" he said, lifting a small metal object, "is a portable stove. It is a very handy little thing. As you can see, it is rather small. Only six inches high, with a width and length of five inches. The top half is the part that actually heats the food, it's where the fire comes out. The bottom half is just a container, it holds propane. Despite its small size, it gets just as hot as a regular stove, and the propane can last for twelve straight hours of use." (Just for the record, these ARE real in real life...I have one) Vernon put the stove back before shuffling around a bit and pulling out another item. "This one is pretty much self explanatory." Vernon had pulled out a new knife. A hunting knife, but it was long, nine inches, not including the handle. With the handle it was thirteen inches. The sheath that it was in had a strap attached to it.
"Actually...I should put this on now"
Vernon bent down before attaching the knife to the inside of his leg. It ran pretty far up the side of his leg, but the knife was just short enough to give him free range of movement without it hitting into anything.
"It's okay for me to wear this in plain site, even in, say, a police station, because they understand that tamers need to be ready for anything and everything at any given opportunity."
Vernon opened the bag and shuffled around a little more, before pulling out the last item, a heavy duty flashlight. He flipped the power switch on once and shined the beam towards the ground, just to make sure that it worked.
The duo had arrived back at the house and entered before Vernon had put his newly acquired items inside. Vernon and Cathrine had packed up their respective stuff and got ready to head out. All Cathrine had, besides her cloths, was food. Cathrine was carrying about three days worth of food, so in addition to all of her cloths, her backpack didn't weigh to much, which made her guilty when she looked over at Vernon. She had a common Hiking backpack, the ones that were just like an over-sized version of a school backpack. Vernon had a complete camping backpack. (I go camping every year. Let me tell you.....that backpack it a pain in the ASS! The backpack alone weighs like 8 pounds!) Strapped to the top of the backpack was a tent, big enough for four people of course. Inside the backpack was three days worth of food for himself, his own cloths, his laptop, his PSP, five Pokéballs, five Potions, five antidotes, the portable stove, Some cooking utensils, a pot, and some matches. On the two side pouches of the backpack, he had a compass and knife in one, and in the other he had a flashlight and a lighter.
"Um...would you like me to carry any of that, Vernon? I mean, you ARE my master, and it basically makes it my job to help you any way that I can. Plus I feel guilty, I have like 10 pounds of stuff, and then I look over at you and see that you have....I don't know...30?"
Vernon just smiled at Cathrine as he said "First of all...stop saying I'm your master...okay, you don't have to, because apparently it turns you on, but still. I am NOT your master. We are equals. At least in my eyes, other people aren't going to think so, though...I thought I already explained it to you? Anyway, to answer your question, I don't want you to carry any of my stuff. I hate to admit it, but you are physically stronger than me, even though I have blood gifts. If I carry the heavier stuff, it will only help me in the long run."
Cathrine couldn't argue with that logic.
"Vernon, how far are we going anyway?"
"Well, we are going to start at section I, and work our way up to section VIII, and thankfully we are currently in section II so we don't need to go that far. It's about a 15 hour walk there, so figure eight hours of walking, eight hours for sleep and eight hours for what ever the hell we want to do and it will take us two days. Three if we run into any problems. Once every hour we will take 15 minute breaks, so the walk is actually going to be nine to ten hours."
Cathrine groaned at the thought of ten hours of walking.
"When are we leaving anyway?"
"Now!" Vernon yelled enthusiastically.
~In the Wilderness~
Cathrine and Vernon had headed towards the town a ways until they finally reached an intersection in the road. There was a sign saying that the middle path led to the town, and the left path led to section I. Of course they took the left path.
The pair had been walking for about half an hour, and Cathrine was bored of the constant silence. She decided that now was as good a time as any to ask Vernon about his odd behavior in the town, but she didn't want to just say it outright, he may take offense to it. Instead, she concocted a new plan.
"Vernon, it just occurred to me that neither of us really knows much about each other. I think we should just ask each other random questions, just so we can understand each other more."
Vernon mulled it over for a bit before finally consenting.
"Okay, I'll go first then." Vernon told Cathrine.
Vernon was thinking over questions that he could ask Cathrine. He couldn't come up with any at all.
"Well...we already told each other our likes and dislikes, we pretty much understand each others personality even though we've had a relationship for a short while...I honestly can't think of anything to ask you. Alright we'll just come back to me later, you ask some questions."
Unlike Vernon, Cathrine had a million questions, and she wasted no time asking, but she was going to save the more personal ones for later.
"First of all...why did you choose me as your Pokégirl? Before we were put on the table we were all taken out of our Pokéballs and told that tamers were going to look at us and see our worth as a potential Pokégirl, but you didn't do that, so how did you choose?"
"Well, I just had a feeling when I looked at your Pokéball, and so thats the one I chose. Plain and simple as that."
Cathrine seemed content with the answer, because she didn't ask for any type of explanation.
"Okay then, next question. Why would you go through all the trouble you went through, just for me? You spent a good deal of money on me just for clothes, you obviously care about me more than most if not all Tamer care about their Pokégirls, you taught me how to fight, and you treat me like a real person."
What Cathrine had just said made his day that much better. Thats exactly how he wanted his Pokégirls treated, and now he knows that he has been doing it right.
"Well, first of all, I didn't go through any trouble for you. I did everything I did for you because I WANTED to, not because I was obligated or I felt that I had to. For your next question, yes I DID spend a lot of money, but that was because you deserve it. It's true that Pokégirls go through what you went through all the time, but you had it done to a much worse degree, and your still here. Your still fighting, still standing...besides the fact that you deserve the clothes, I also got them because I WANTED to. I want my Pokégirls to be treated completely fairly, and I wouldn't be treating you fairly if I didn't buy you clothes. I think that pretty much answers that."
Cathrine knew she was one of the most fortunate Pokégirls in the world. There are only a handful of Pokégirls that are lucky enough to get a Tamer as caring, compassionate and loving as Vernon is.
Cathrine looked over at Vernon as they continued walking. She was weighing the pros and cons of weather or not she should ask Vernon about his odd behavior before. After a few moments she decided that it couldn't be TOO important, so she just went with it.
"Vernon...if you don't mind me asking...why were you so uneasy when we were in the town, and even more uneasy when we were in the store?"
Vernon tensed up at the moment she asked, and, after relaxing slightly, all he did was grab the bridge of his nose and look down, shaking his head as he continued to walk. He seemed to be having a bit of trouble, but Cathrine had no clue what the problem was.
Eventually, Vernon seemed to relax all the way. He spoke slowly and deliberately, picking and choosing his words very carefully.
"The town is......not the............safest..............place in the world.........................for me, anyway. The people that live there....or the majority anyway.....have taken notice of some of my......'unique' qualities. In heavily populated areas, I tend to try to get in, get what I need, and get out. No problems. I try to not be seen.....by anybody. I am only accepted by the people in my school, because they were still young when the adults noticed.......unfortunately, I was young too. I have been rejected and beaten by everybody because of a certain...incident....that had occurred..."
Cathrine was guilty at asking such a simple question that turned out to be so personal. At least now she didn't need to ask why he lived on the outskirts of the town...or, use to live there, anyway.
Neither person wanted to break the silence. Vernon was lost in his past and Cathrine was somewhat afraid to ask anything else. She knew what a bad past was and she definitely didn't want to be reminded of it, so if Vernon had a bad past, she didn't want to remind him of it either.
Both just continued to walk down the road. The road never strayed in any direction and there was nothing to see at all. They had not said a word in a long while, and the sheer boringness of it all was getting to Cathrine, so eventually she had to break the silence once she realized something.
"Vernon...why have we not encountered any Pokégirls so far? We have been walking for quite some time...and we haven't heard or seen anything since we left. I know that's its still morning but Pokégirls are generally up by now..."
Vernon had an uneasy look as he agreed with her.
"Your right Cathrine. I have noticed the same thing. It's almost as if the area is completely devoid of life. I wonder whats going on?"
Neither party said anything else for quite some time. They were both on high alert, listening for any sound, looking for anything that may be anywhere, and occasionally sniffing the area for unfamiliar scents.
They continued walking, and walking, and walking...and still, nothing happened. No Pokégirls...no tamers...no nothing. The nothingness of it all was getting to them. They were slowly being eaten alive by paranoia. Surely they should have encountered at least three Pokégirls by now, right?
"Cathrine...we have been walking for seven hours...and nothing. I think we should set up camp here. We must stay together at all times though. I have a bad feeling."
Vernon and Cathrine found an empty clearing and unloaded their respective bags of anything they needed in order to set up camp. Vernon set up the tent and put their bags inside it. He then took all of his Pokéballs and put them on his Pokébelt. He didn't want to be caught in the middle of the forest without an Pokéballs.
"Cathrine, I want to save the stove for emergencies only, so we need to go find some firewood together, because I am NOT leaving you here alone."
Cathrine just nodded her head. They set off together in search of firewood.
Vernon and Cathrine headed away from their camp in search of firewood. The search was boring, really boring, but not as boring as the seven hours of walking at least.
If someone looked over at Cathrine, they wouldn't be able to tell that anything was wrong, but Cathrine's mind was actually going a mile a minute. She was still trying to figure out what could have happened to Vernon to make him the way that he is. She decided that she should ask him, just once more.
"Vernon?"
Vernon looked over at Cathrine, midway from reaching a log. He had a quizzical look on his face, which was telling her to continued speaking.
"I was wondering...if you wouldn't mind....explaining some things to me."
All Vernon had to say was "sure" and he walked a few feet and sat down on a log. He patted a spot next to him, indicating that he wanted her to do the same.
She sat down, and noticed that Vernon was staring at her. He was obviously ready to answer anything that she was going to ask him.
"Vernon...I was wondering if you would...explain to me why it is that the town doesn't like you. You were very vague before, so I was just wondering if you would elaborate please?"
Cathrine noticed that Vernon was visibly tense again. All of his muscles seemed tightened, and his hands kept clenching and unclenching. Some parts of him started to shake.
"...It's...all because of how I was born."
Cathrine had nothing to say. She didn't know what to say. She was afraid that anything she might say would be detrimental.
"I was born...with a mental unbalance. The equilibrium in my brain does not exist. I was born special. I don't know what this unbalance is called, I have no idea how it happens, and I don't care. I only know what it does. Humans are animals, plain and simple. I don't mean that to be mean, I literally mean that humans ARE animals. We just tend not to consider ourselves animals because we have a high IQ. As with all animals...humans have instincts. Every animal has instincts. My unbalance makes it near impossible to cover up my instincts. Because I my special circumstances, if I have an instinct to do something, I do it. That's all there is to it. When I was young, when I still lived with my parents, it was okay. I was young, and most young animals instincts are non-existent. Instinct develops as time goes on. Once I hit eleven though, thats when all the problems started."
Cathrine noticed that sometimes, Vernon would speak very quietly, her only reason that she could even hear him was her enhanced hearing. At certain times, he would also seem to choke on his words, and not know how to word it.
"As soon as I hit eleven, my instincts started developing. I...couldn't control myself. I would growl when I was angry...I would have to take my rage out on something every once in a while...I would even behave like an animal. If somebody went to take something that was mine, I forgot that I was human and had hands I could use. Instead, I would bite them. Just these few things alone made a few people hate me. Whenever I would eat meat, people would look on in disgust as I would eat it raw. That's the way I like my meat. Slightly warm, and dripping with blood........just like a fresh kill. I would hunt for food every once in a while...I would stake claims on my property...As you saw, the town is very small, there are less than 1,000 people, so word spreads fast. By the time I was thirteen, I was known as 'The Animal' by almost every person in the town. People didn't like me, but they didn't necessarily hate me either. But then, I got my first girlfriend. She was a wonderful person, and beautiful too...but I digress, she was able to look past what the others could not. She knew I had a problem, but she also knew that it wasn't my fault. So what if I acted just like a dog? So what if I I couldn't control my instincts? She thought it was sort of cute. She didn't care...at first. But soon she thought that I was just pretending, just to get attention. She told me that I should stop, and when I told her that I wasn't pretending...she left me. Just like that."
Cathrine looked over at Vernon and saw tears running down his face. He was trembling even more, but still, he continued with his story.
"At first, I thought that I could go on, I didn't need her, right? It was just one person. Oh, how wrong I was. Soon, my instincts started to take over again. It was telling me to rightfully claim what was mine, and to never let anyone near her, except myself, of course. I didn't know what I was going to do when I got there, but I started heading towards her house. Once I DID get there though, I knew what I was going to do. I was going to kill. I saw her and another boy on the doorstep, so I hid behind the bushes in front of her house, just waiting and watching. I was trying to reason with myself that it was just a friend. He was just walking her home, that had to be it. They hugged, and I was pissed. I was growling, not even realizing it. I was able to hold myself back though, only barely. After their brief hug ended, which felt like an eternity to me, he leaned in for a kiss. I had to stop that from happening. I jumped out of the bushes and charged at the boy, yelling to get his attention. He looked towards me and that was the last thing he saw for a loooong time. The doctor said that I smashed his face against the wall so hard that he'd been knocked into a coma. And it definitely didn't help that after he was unconscious I started to claw at his face.....and any exposed skin that I could claw at. After that......my parents disowned me they said that I had acted like a monster long enough.....Of course I was also in some legal troubles. I had a choice of jail, or being sent away. I asked if there were any other options, and I was kicked out of town.....and they left me to fend for myself. All they gave me was the house that we were in and one years supply of food. The only reason I had all the things I had in my house was because I received a large inheritance when I parents passed away...which turned out to be one week after they disowned me. They wouldn't tell me how they died. They wouldn't even let me go to the funeral, because I'm not allowed in the town. And now here I am...just an outcast."
By the time Vernon finished his story, Cathrine was on the verge of crying too. This Tamer is only seventeen years old (I forget if I ever gave him an age before, but if I said anything different...it's seventeen. Vernon is seventeen years old) And he's been through more than some people have been through in their entire life.
"In fact, the only reason I was able to go to the taming school is because it is technically just outside the town limits. The only reason I am allowed in the actual town is because I waited until I was sixteen before I ever went into town again. Nobody recognized me, thankfully. But every once in a while I see people staring at me...analyzing my face, because they believe they've seen it before...and I don't want anybody to remember..."
Cathrine just sat there and did nothing. She didn't know what to do, what to say, if she should do anything at all. She decided to wait until Vernon did something first...but she was surprised when she heard laughing right next to her. She looked over at Vernon, and saw that it was indeed him laughing. It started out small at first, but it gradually grew until he was hysterically laughing.
Cathrine had no clue what the hell Vernon was doing. He just a a heart-to-heart with her about his past, crying while he did so, and now he was laughing. What the hell is going on!?
Vernon had almost managed to compose himself, but he couldn't and he started laughing hysterically, even more than before. He, after a while, finally managed to compose himself and looked over at Cathrine.
"It's actually..................sort of..................funny.............."
And he got up, grabbed his pile of logs, and walked away. He knew Cathrine would catch up.
~Back at camp~
Cathrine and Vernon had arrived back at the camp without incident. Vernon was getting hungry, so he decided that he would start the fire and cook some Ramen. Who doesn't like Ramen? Anyway, Vernon started the fire and opened the packages of Ramen before putting them in the pot of water. He was about to put the pot on the fire, when he heard a voice behind him.
"Hey, you!"
Vernon turned around, startled. How had that man gotten so close without Cathrine OR Vernon detecting him? Vernon was trying to get a good look at the man, but he couldn't. The sun was coming from the direction the man was in, so all he saw was a black silhouette of a man. A big man. A REALLY big man. All Vernon could tell about this guy was that he was he big, he had a deep voice with a sort of gruffness to it, and that he was a Tamer, if the Pokégirl next to him was any indication. He could only tell it was a Pokégirl because it had an oddly shaped appendage atop it's head that a human would definitely not have.
Vernon took a little consolation in the fact that he wasn't THAT close, it just sounded like it because his voice was so loud. Vernon just stood where he was, waiting for this strange man to come closer.
It didn't take long for the man to reach Vernon, and when he did, the new guy didn't do anything. He stopped a few feet in front of Vernon, and just looked at him, up and down. Analyzing everything about him. After a moment or two, he turned to Cathrine and did the same thing. He must have decided that neither of them were a threat, because Vernon was able to tell that he relaxed slightly.
While the man was looking at Vernon, Vernon analyzed him too. All Vernon was able to learn were a few things. First, the man was HUGE, towering waaay over Vernon. The man was somewhere between 6' 8" and 6' 11" Vernon wasn't sure. Other than that, He had black, messy hair, snake fangs on his chin, (Snake fangs are those weird two-pronged piercing thingys) a black shirt with a big red "X" on it, loose black pants, and a pretty big X-shaped scar on the side of his neck.
He looked over at his Pokégirl. He would never admit it to Cathrine, because he didn't want her to get jealous, but she was beautiful. He was able to tell without his Pokédex that this Pokégirl was an Abslut. No other Pokégirl looked even remotely similar. But still, he couldn't even describe her, because she was so beautiful. Of course, Cathrine was more beautiful, but she was a VERY close second.
(If you want to see what she looks like, here you go, here's a link. http:// pokegirl. org/photo gallery. php?photo_id =34 Just like all the other photos, you must remove all the spaces. If anything is capitalized, remove the capitalization. There are five spaces in all)
He spoke again, for the second time. "What are you all doing out here? Didn't you get the warning?"
Vernon cocked his head to the side, and asked "What warning?"
The man looked at him like strangely. Vernon was Unable to tell what the emotion was exactly.
"A warning had been issued to all of the Tamers in the area. There has been a Widow Pokégirl spotted in the area. We are unsure of it's location as of right now, and we are hoping nothing happens. Apparently the only reason we received the report is because the Tamer that found it said it was sleeping, otherwise he'd be dead. Are you telling me you didn't get this warning sent to your Pokédex?"
(For those of you who don't know, the Widow is a Pokégirl that causes massive destruction wherever it goes. It is spider-like in its general shape, and it takes anywhere from 5-20 MASTER tamers with a FULL harem of Pokégirls to subdue one, let alone KILL it.)
Vernon took his Pokédex out of his pocket, and flipped it open. The Pokédex made some beeping noises as he scrolled through the various menus, before flipping it shut again.
"Nope, sorry, didn't get it. But Cathrine and I recently moved into this area, maybe we were out of the range the message was sent to when the message was sent. What I want to know is what it is YOU are doing out here, if there is such a dangerous Pokégirl on the loose."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I am Kistugen Estono, I work for this section and it is my job to find any Tamers, such as yourself, and escort them out of the danger area. This is one of my Pokégirls," he said as he gestured towards the Pokégirl on his right. She didn't react at all when she was introduced. "Her name is Lucrecia. So who do I have the pleasure of addressing?"
Vernon looked at the man like he was an idiot. Vernon stared at the man before saying "You don't know who I am? I'll tell you who I am...I am Vernon Pride, and I am the reflection of perfection, I'm needed in every collection, to good to be great, to great to be amazing, to amazing to be perfect.....no, wait a minute.....I'm perfect!"
Vernon ended with two thumbs up pointed at himself. The man recently identified as Kistugen covered his Mouth with his hand in a vain attempt to stop himself from laughing...it didn't work. The man was hysterically laughing in all of five seconds. Vernon looked back at Cathrine to see her rolling on the ground with laughter too. Pretty soon, Vernon joined in himself, knowing how stupid it sounded. Once everybody had some-what composed themselves, Vernon said to Kistugen "I'm sorry, but I have waiting for like, a YEAR to use that rhyme. Anyway, seriously this time, I am Vernon Pride, nice to meet you."
Vernon held out his hand for Kistugen. He looked at it oddly, and seemed to analyze it before deciding to shake it.
In addition to everything that Vernon knew about this man, he now knew that he was very cautious about basically everything so far.
"Now, working for the government and all, you MUST have some form of ID, correct?" Vernon pointed out.
Kistugen looked annoyed as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his Pokédex. The small machine made a few beeps and whirring noises and finally, he held it out for Vernon to see. Vernon read his profile.
Name: Kistugen Estono
Age: Prefers to Keep Hidden
Height: 6' 9"
Weight: Prefers to Keep Hidden
Birthday: Prefers to Keep Hidden
Career: Has many various jobs. Main ones include; Tamer, watcher, breeder, officially licensed government-
Vernon couldn't read the rest, Kistugen had covered the rest with his hand.
Vernon didn't want any trouble. He saw that he was a government official of some type, and that was good enough...for now.
Kistugen looked over at Cathrine one more time, and walked in front of her. Vernon was keeping a close eye on this guy. He didn't know him and he definitely didn't trust him yet.
Kistugen stopped in front of Cathrine. Before she could react, he reached out and grabbed her hand. He laid a gentle kiss on the back of her hand, before looking up and smiled at her, and asking "And who do we have here?"
Vernon smacked Kistugen's hand away and jumped in front of Cathrine.
"Back off pal, she's with me."
Kistugen was rather annoyed at what Vernon did, But he didn't show it on his face. No one ever dared touch him due to his sheer size.
Kistugen pulled away a little bit and raised his hands up in a defensive manner, before telling Vernon that he just wanted to know her name.
"Her name is Cathrine."
Kistugen got an even bigger smile as he said "Cathrine...such a beautiful name for such a beautiful Pokégirl."
Kistugen's own Pokégirl scowled and crossed her arms, before looking away from her master.
Cathrine, who had said nothing this entire time, finally spoke up from behind Vernon.
"It's nice to meet you, Kistugen."
"Ah" The scarred-man said "She finally speaks! Such an angelic voice too..."
Vernon started to audibly growl at Kistugen. Kistugen watched as Cathrine tapped Vernon on the shoulder. She whispered something in his ear, and he immediately stopped growling.
Vernon shook his head rapidly, trying to clear himself of his anger.
"Okay, you've come here, you've done your job, so thank you, but we are not headed back the way we just came. We were headed towards section I and thats where we are going to continue heading."
Kistugen shook his head at Vernon, and stated "No, you must have miss heard me. My job is also to ESCORT any tamers out of the area, no exceptions. I'm going to have to travel with you until we leave the forest or you reach a safe area in here."
"No! No, no, no, no, no, you can NOT come with us!"
The man seemed to take pleasure in saying "Than I will have to report you. Either I go with you, or your Tamer's license will be revoked, and your Pokégirl will be...re-assigned..."
Kistugen had a lusty glint in his eye as he looked at Cathrine.
Vernon was about to yell at the towering man, but Kistugen cut him off.
"Why are you going to section I anyway?"
Vernon didn't really want to speak to the man, he already hated him enough, but he didn't want a shouting match, so he just answered "I am hoping to capture one or two Pokégirls along the way there, and then we will take on the gym leader."
Kistugen looked absolutely evil as he said "Take on the gym leader? All the way in section I? We wait so long? You look like a lot of fun...fights are usually scheduled in my gym, but I'll make an exception, let's have the battle right now!"

Now, I'm sorry this chapter was so short, (Only 6,848 actual chapter words...) but the next chapter will be much longer.
As I said in the beginning, this is late because of I-Con, Vacation, and the fact that I am releasing on Sundays. Please, forgive me of my lateness. I said no exceptions, but.....I-Con is an exception! It's THAT awesome!
Also, I know your going to hate me for this, but I have another announcement. I WILL update Sundays, like I said that I would, but...not EVERY Sunday. I will update every other Sunday. I have a reason for this! I don't like short chapters, and if I am forced to update once per week, the chapter will only be between 4,000 and 6,000 words. I absolutely HATE that! I update every other week, the chapters will be between 8,000 and 12,000 words. In my opinion, that is STILL too short, but I don't want to update any slower than that, so that is the trade-off. I hope you will all continue reading this, despite my rather slow updates. Again, I am very sorry, but if you want the best writing that I can write, then updates are going to have to be this slow...
Okay, now, I know this is completely random, but do I use enough description? Am I descriptive enough? Do you want me to be more descriptive? I'm talking about detail, here. Do you want me to use more? Less? The same? Please, leave a review.
Okay, well, that's all for now. Please continue reading and make sure that you review this chapter! Feel free to make any comments! No matter how long or short! Thank you all! Goodbye!
