Yeah, since I was told by the only reviewer I might get more reviews if I did it in a book sort of way (for reasons I have yet to understand) that's how it's gonna be. And only reviewer, if you are a liar about this, then, I won't do anything since you're my only reviewer.
The group of six (Drew, May, Brock, Ash, Jessie, and Diana) stand by the bed-side of Dawn who is asleep. All of them have minor cuts on their skin and clothes, but Dawn's worse. Paul was located in the hall, sitting. Out of nowhere, James and Meowth crash through a door on the far end. Paul glances over but ignores them. The two get up and waltz over.
"Hey have you seen-," James starts to say.
Paul suddenly points into the room. Meowth looks up at James and shrug. They open the door and walk in. Paul closes the door and sits on the floor. A familiar face appears next to Paul as a cane hits the floor.
"Why did you tap me on the back of the head," Paul asks rather somberly.
"Because I was going to help you if the battle increased to the final stage," the guy says.
Paul looks and stands up to be face to face with the guy. It's Mundo.
"What did she mean by she had six Pokemon," Paul asks.
Mundo does a chuckle and gets out a poke ball.
"Electivire," Mundo says.
Paul looks down to the ground in an "of course" sort of way.
"Wait, then what do you mean by help me," he asks again.
Mundo chuckles again, ending with sigh.
"By lending you one of mine," he replies.
Paul looks down to the ground, and as the door opens, he looks up, and as he does, Mundo's gone. Diana leans out of the door and motions to come in. Paul does and immediately sees Dawn awake, but they don't say anything, just look away. Brock sighs and breaks the silence.
"Dawn, the doctor said you needed your rest," he says.
"I know, I just don't feel like it," Dawn answers.
Another eerie silence fills the room as the now group of eight don't dare to speak.
"Could you please give us some time alone," she asks.
"Of course," Brock says.
All of them in the room but Dawn and Paul leave. Paul has yet to look at Dawn, merely glancing downward. When everyone leaves and the door is closed, Paul makes a fist, turning around and punching the wall. His knuckle starts to bleed as red stains the white wall. He growls as tears well up in his eyes.
"Paul," Dawn says.
"Shut-up," Paul says, looking back.
A tears falls out of an eye and hits the floor. He clenches his fist as red covers his hand.
"Ever since you came to this town, I've grown to hate you more than the pathetic leader," he begins to speak. "Ever since we saw at each other at the mall, and every time after that, I felt a familiar feeling."
Dawn doesn't say anything, just stares at him, soaking it in.
"You've been craving to know about my past for days now, well get a notebook out, here it comes," he continues.
"It was two years ago, when I was ten. I was just starting out on my journey. I felt like I was kind of the world, finally starting my journey. When I reached Rowan's lab, I got my Turtwig, and I fell in love with it from the start. I trained it for months, winning badges all over Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, that was when I reached Sinnoh again."
FLASH....BA-ACK! (Dun Dun)
Paul was walking down the street, hoping to reach his home in Veilstone City, where his brother had agreed to help him evolve his Grotle which had evolved but a year ago today. As Paul enters Veilstone City with a smile, people greet him as if they've known him since he was a baby, since most have. He finally reaches his house and opens to find his brother Reggie, father and mother waiting to greet them with a big hug, which they do. Sirens suddenly ring through out the town.
"Why now," Reggie asks
"Honey, take Reggie and Paul to the basement, and keep it locked until I give the signal," their dad says
"Right," she agrees
She send them both into a door and closes it, locking all seven locks and leaving the key in just in case. They can hear through the door, they're here. A voice rings out above the rest.
"Where's the money," it says.
"I swear, I've paid my dues for this week," Paul's dad says.
"Not those, see, we're here for more than just the due money, no, you see, we're here for theft," the voice says.
"No, please," Paul's dad begs.
"Where is it," the voice yells.
"Please, take it all, it's all I have at the moment."
A silence fills until a hard bash noises his heard.
"I'll leave you bleeding on the floor, let that be a lesson to your family. Let's go!"
Footsteps start to head out until a voice.
"Sir," a soldier cries out.
A gun shot is heard and a body hits the floor, followed by a bunch more and than another to the floor.
"Let's go, we need to tell the commander," the same soldier says.
Footsteps rush out. When the scared family think its safe, they come out and see their dad dead on the floor as well as the body of the voice.
"Dad," Paul yells.
He rushes up and holds his dad in utter sadness. His mother hugs both of them as they both cry. Reggie walks over to the dead body of the leader.
"Somebody's got to do something about this," he says.
Paul looks up from his dad's body and has a pissed off look.
"And so one shall," he says.
He pushes his mom off and grabs his dad's gun as well as his poke balls.
"Paul, wait," Reggie yells as he sees his brother rushing out of the house.
Paul notices many a soldiers in white rushing back to base, the big white building at the edge of the town by the huge cliff that borders a huge lake. Paul looks over and notices a girl hiding in a ball in a corner.
"Rachel," Paul yells.
He runs over and hugs her.
"Paul, they took everything, then killed my parents for killing the leader," she says.
"You too," Paul asks.
A bunch of kids about Paul's age rush out of their house to be stopped by their moms. Paul sees his mom touch him, but Paul shrugs her off.
"No Mom, it's gotta be me," he says, clutching the gun.
"No, you are coming home now," she orders.
"No!"
He, with his most used strength ever, pulls his mom off him, thus ripping his blue vest. Paul starts running towards the base, pistol (the gun) in hand. He finally reaches the huge cliff leading up to the base and sees damn near all of the squad rushing up the stairs, but no leaders in sight. 'Everyone's fighting back.' That thought runs through his mind as the last soldier trips on the stairs, a blue haired man with a Meowth "doll" on his back.
"Easy James," the doll whispers.
"You try carrying a cat who eats everyday as well as a bunch of supplies," the one named James says.
"Did you just call me fat," the doll asks in normal volume.
"Shh," James says, rushing up the stairs.
After he's reached the top, Paul follows them. Whenever he gets there and the last person's gone inside, he quickly ducks when two guards still remain outside.
"Clear," one of them asks.
"Clear," the other approves.
They run inside and the door closes. All of a sudden, a snowflake hits his nose. Paul looks up and notices white drops falling from the now blackened clouds. Paul nods this off and rushes up to the door. He looks inside and sees all is empty except for a sleeping fat guy at the front. Paul advances one step towards the door as it opens, but a ding happens. The fat guy moves, but doesn't wake up. Paul gets up and tries the other door, which also dings, but the fat guy still doesn't awaken. Paul gets inside and crawls towards one of the doors, the one on the right. He opens it and sees a bunch of soldiers gathering in a huge group. One in particular stands on the stage, dressed in white, covered by two more on the left and right. The one on the stage begins to speak.
"A terrible loss, a terrible loss indeed. But no matter, today, we rise again, we take lead, we decide the fate of Veilstone, and finally, we recapture Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit."
The whole crowd goes crazy for this, like in a rally.
"New leaders of squads, are to be appointed today, that, is up to the squad itself," the man continues on.
"Conroy," one shouts.
"Tuck, it's all yours!"
"Zach, you're up!"
"Hey guys, shut up!"
"Oh please, do continue, in fact, we already have three new leaders of three groups," the man on the stage says.
"Ben baby!"
The voice from before, the one who spoke out at Paul's house speaks up.
"Thanks guys."
"Continue, but, excuse me, I have important matters to attend to."
The man on the stage walks off to the back, whispering to an old, fat guy to his right. That fat guy whispers to a girl next to him in a white skirt, she to a man next to her with split blue hair, and finally him to a girl next to him in a white jumpsuit. They all four nod and walk up to the stage. Paul doesn't waste any more time and gets to a door that he enters. It's a long, thin hallway. Paul doesn't waste any more time and just runs, going as fast as he can until he turns and hits some stairs. He just continues to run, with the added effect of climbing. Behind him, the blue haired one from before (clumsy one) and the Meowth follow Paul. Paul ignores them and hits a door, busting open and pointing his gun. He moves to the right out of the way. He looks, gets wide-eyed, and drops the gun. James and Meowth get up and rush in, but stop.
"We're here to rescue you boss, what?!," both of them say.
They also drop what they had, a mop and a bucket.
Giovanni, the Team Rocket boss, is talking with the man on the stage, as well as a third with silver hair and another, muscular man in white standing behind the guy from the stage.
"Oh really, and you intend to rescue me by becoming janitors," the boss says.
"Hm, if you tried to be stealthy, the busting in kind of ruins it," the silver haired one says.
"Wait, we thought, you were captured," James says.
"It's called faking it. I merely acted captured just so I can strike a deal with Cyrus here, why, well, to trade in losers like you for people who get the job done like Team Galactic, or soldiers who actually don't abandon their boss like J's over here," Giovanni says.
"May I," the big one asks.
"Sure," Cyrus says.
He cracks his knuckles and starts to walk over. Paul, out of nowhere, clutches his fist and jumps onto the table, running a shoulder into the muscular man, sending him crashing out the back window. This sends them both down to the far cliff down. They free fall down. Out of nowhere, James and Meowth join them.
"I blame you," Meowth yells and cries.
Both Meowth and James hug each other as they waterfall tears.
A Voice: Bi!
They suddenly stop in mid-air, all but the big man, who continues falling. Paul goes from looking at James and Meowth to seeing a bunch of trees with a sunny path and rocks and people running.
"What," Paul asks.
He suddenly clutches his fist and screams out to the sky. The bunch of people stare at him like he's a freak.
'I was weak. If I hadn't stopped and just fired, it'd be all over, but no, I got nice. I need to get stronger so I can beat, no kill Cyrus. For me to be strong, my Pokemon do, no weak ones, just the strong,' he thinks.
He calls out his Elekid. He looks at his arm to see his vest is the same. He notices a few Starly flying up ahead.
'I know where to start.'
He gets out a Poke Ball.
FLASH BACK DONE
"And then I saw caught them, but two were weak, and then, I met him, and the rest, you know."
Paul's hand stopped bleeding and he stopped crying. Dawn tries to, but can't hold it in anymore as she starts pouring tears out. She gets out of bed and rushes over, hugging Paul as tight as can be, just crying. He doesn't know how to react and just pats her back. Eventually, she stops, and gets off, looking at him.
"The, hail attack," Dawn said.
"The snow from that night," Paul replied.
They just stared at each other for a bit until Paul spoke up.
"I'm sorry, I've got to go."
He opens the door and everyone looks at him with a look of sadness. Paul looks over at Meowth and James, who simply sigh and does a head motion to out the window behind them. It's still hailing.
"But how is that-," Paul said before getting interrupted.
"There's a theory, that if a Pokemon uses too much of one weather move, it can change the weather permanently," Diana says.
Dawn walks out, her head down and her eyes crying.
Paul suddenly growls and grabs a chair. He throws it out in the window in rage.
"Paul-," Brock tries to say.
"Shut up," Paul reacts.
He then walks down the hall, opening the door to leave. Dawn looks over to everybody, who actually nod yes, even Team Rocket and Drew. Dawn sighs and follows him.
Sorry about the length of it, I just couldn't find the right place to stop. Anyway, I'm watching you only reviewer.
