Okay I know I missed several days that were on my schedule, but I had finals and an ear infection which was giving me a horrible headache. Also I have the new Kingdom Hearts so that's aided in my procrastination too. Now that school is out and I've beaten the game, I should have little to no problems updating. Of course that's if my summer job doesn't mess up my schedule. Also Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is only in Japanese right now and I can't read anything, but what I do know is that it takes place during and after Chain of Memories, but before and at the very beginning of KH2. I'm gonna stop now before I start rambling on about how epic the final boss theme is.
But that's only partially the reason. My brother has been asking me to help him with a game he's making and it has been taking a lot of time off my schedule. That and my real life. Now he's planning on coming back home from Florida.
Chapter 26: Accused of What Now?
Now that I think about it, do I really want to destroy the world? I mean, I want revenge but...I don't want to kill anyone anymore. That's something you don't forget. Especially not when their blood is on your hands, literally. I should go back 'home' and tell my 'mother' the truth. That I'm not really her son and that I'm not staying or helping in the war. Wonder why they are fighting. Probably territorial, but there is no way they own that gigantic tree for themselves like that. It's probably just a temporary base for now. Hope it doesn't get out of hand, then again if I do end up destroying the world it won't matter.
But what do I do after that? If the world is destroyed then Arceus will most likely attack. If I win, what do I do then? I'll be trapped in between the dimensions for the rest of eternity. What if I die when the world is destroyed? If that happens then my so called mission will be in vain. So far being trapped in between the dimensions sounds the worst. I don't want to be left alone in darkness. My mother's death must have had some meaning if Arceus personally did it. If only I could remember her face. That's so sad that I've forgotten my own mother's face. She must be so upset with me right now. Can't blame her though, what I may do in the future will be something that no one will forget. The mere mention of my name will bring fear to everyone's hearts. My face will never be forgotten. A beautiful thought...for the darkened soul. I wonder if anyone will actually start to worship me. Might be nice to be given things to just sit around and do nothing. Then again in the time of a crisis they'll all depend on me to save them. Playing god sounds like fun, but I know it isn't. In fact I'm living proof that it isn't. If I never escaped that day, they could have run experiments on me and worked out every bug in this body and probably even discovered how to do this with every other pokemon and maybe even with humans. A human using a move, picturing that makes me laugh. They would probably have it worse off than me. The government would figure they know something and how to create more super-humans like them. Sure they say they won't do that, but everyone knows that the government would never pass up a chance to have super-soldiers that could have them gain a whole new country. As bad as that would be, it would be nice to meet someone like me. At least then I won't be alone in this world.
There were trees collapsing in the distance. They were falling pretty close to the giant one. Maybe some random pokemon got pissed off and is letting off some anger? A small mist rose from the area along with a few beams, leaving behind a layer of frost on the leaves if the trees. Do I help or do I let this get out of hand and begin involving anyone in the nearby cities? I'd better help out. Wouldn't feel right to just ditch them like that.
"Better get moving." I sighed and began to make my way down to the battleground. A Swellow flew down next to me as I jumped from tree to tree.
"You're not really going to get involved in that are you?" It asked. Wasn't it obvious that I was going to get involved? Those are my people down there fighting. The stray Solarbeams, Icebeams, and Energyballs confirmed it.
"What does it look like? They are destroying the forest! Someone has to stop them." My answer wasn't exactly the truth, but at least it didn't know who's side I was on. I don't know who is an ally or an enemy which could be a problem...for anyone in my way.
"But you're just a kid! Going there is suicide!" It tried to stop me. Not like it would work.
"I don't care!"
"DUCK!" Why of ALL times did I decide to look at it? A second after I turned something hard and REALLY cold hit me in the face. My eyes were sealed shut and I couldn't breathe. Not only that but it was so cold that it felt like my face was on fire. Lucky for me, on my way down my head hit a branch and my eyes and nostrils were unsealed. The moment I hit the ground, I clenched my mouth and felt ice. A stray Ice Beam had hit me, which must have been why the Swellow said 'Duck'. I sat there yelling every curse word known to man when I could have done something smarter, break the ice. After awhile though I did break it off. I've always hated the cold, but now it was actually deadly. Well it always was, but I have no resistance to it now.
"FUCK! AH, SHIT! DAMN! THAT HURT!" I've never experienced something like that before. Cursing like that was called for, I don't care what anyone says. There are times where cursing is called for.
"Oh come on, its not that bad." I hadn't even noticed the Swellow was right there next to me.
"YOU AIN'T THE GRASS TYPE!" When I yelled that, I had forgotten they were just as weak to ice as I am.
"We're weak against it too..." I didn't care though. I shook off any remaining frost and warmed my face off and prepared to start running there.
"Are you still planning on getting involved? Even after being hit in the face like that?"
"Of course I am!"
"Before you go can I ask a question?"
"What?!" An Ice Beam to the face will piss off anyone.
"Why are you talking like the humans?"
"Because of this." I slammed it's face into the dirt, knocking it out. Even though it had only been asked a few times, it was already really annoying.
As I made my way to the battle, it began to grow colder and colder till hail was actually falling. Something was using Hail and whatever it was, was strong. Hail shouldn't stretch out this far. But I wasn't far away, I was right there in the heat of the battle. I didn't know who was on my side and who was against me, but I did know that the Zangoose were my enemy. If any others were, then I'll just have to wait for them to attack first. The sound of raging flames closed in fast from my right. I turned and dropped to the ground under a Fire Blast. The heat actually felt nice for a couple seconds until it started to burn. So I rolled from underneath the Fire Blast and to target whatever fired it at me. A swift kick to the face and the Zangoose was down. If they know fire attacks then this could end in a large forest fire. About ten more took its place. I woulda took them all on myself if they didn't all use Blizzard, forcing me to take cover behind a now frozen tree. They set themselves up for failure with that, the tree was now frozen and easily broken. So I began punching the trunk, causing several large cracks until it stretched around the entire thing. I took a few steps back and then rammed the tree, causing it to slowly lean. An Energyball knocked it over onto a couple of the Zangoose.
"Heh, retards...Who would stand there and let a tree fall on them?" I asked myself out loud. I really need to stop talking to myself.
When I walked around to the right side of the fallen tree, I looked right into the eyes of one of the Zangoose. The terror that filled its eyes made me laugh. Not very often you see a Treecko knock down a tree with little effort. In fact you'd probably never see it happen, ever. I took a step forward, all four of them took a step back. If only they knew that even though I'm much stronger than I should be, my defenses are still just as weak as ever. One of them tried to use something, but an Energyball to the face took him out. The rest of them charged charged at me, claws flaming or frozen. Exploiting my weakness was a smart move...at a distance. Getting close was like committing suicide because of my impossible speed and small size. One of them learned this when I kicked him in the face twice before landing and dealing one last blow as hard as I could. The crack after that last kick was too loud for a broken jaw. When I looked up, I saw its head twisted around backwards. I must still be under the influence of that Sceptile's strength from before. My kicks aren't normally that hard. They're hard, but they can't break a neck.
"Oooh...sorry...my bad." Apologizing won't bring it back to life, nor did I even mean it. But I needed something to keep me from throwing up at the sight of that.
"Wha...What are you?!" One of them asked, clearly amazed and maybe even confused at the little green killing machine right in front of them. A corny way of describing myself, but it's true. Maybe it's the reason I was made by those people. To take over this world in the name of...was it Team Rocket? Must have been them. I don't know any other organizations that preform sick experiments on humans and pokemon. Anyway, to take over this world and kill anyone who opposed them. Which would be myself of course, so their plan will go down before it even started. Like I'd ever listen to someone else's orders. Trying to force it on me will most likely result in pain, their pain. Since I bring so much fear into the hearts of my opponents, maybe I should start working on some evil or maniacal look. A face that they'll surely never forget and will have nightmares of. Nah I think the broken limbs and bruises are enough. Pulling off a look like that would require me to actually be that way.
"What am I? WHAT AM I?! Really what am I cuz I don't know." Looks aren't everything. We've all seen at least ONE person who isn't what they seem. You know what I'm talking about. For all I know I could change into something else when I go to sleep and live a second life during those six through however many hours. Something as small as me shouldn't be capable of the things that I can do.
They decided to run when I started tossing weak Energyballs at their faces. Doubt none of them even hurt. I started to chase them down...well more like follow them since I ran along side one of them without it noticing until I tapped it and said something.
"Where are you going? I thought we were fighting." I must've startled it badly because it tripped over its own legs.
"He's catching up!" To them? I could pass them if I wanted to, but I didn't.
"What do you mean catching up? I'm right next to you. I can also go much faster than this." About a couple seconds after I said that, I began feeling extremely paranoid. In fact I could literally feel the presence of several hundred other beings. I slowed down to a stop, and looked around. My heart started racing. Following them may have been one of the biggest mistakes of my life yet. To my left, amazingly camouflaged in between two trees and a bush, a Nidoking. That wasn't all, I knew it wasn't. In the trees sat several other pokemon, but I didn't even take the time to make out what they were. The Nidoking was the only one that stood out enough for me to see. Everything else was well hidden. Surrounded by an unknown amount of pokemon all with the intent of catching and most likely killing me. Things couldn't get better.
RUN! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! FIND AN ESCAPE ROUTE! GET OUT OF THE FOREST! Listening to my thoughts, I searched for any opening big enough for me to run through. None in sight. Completely surrounded, no escape, alone. Wait Where are my people? I thought this was a freaking war, but so far I haven't seen anyone outside who wasn't already following me...well except that one who tried to kill me that I have a feeling will show up again. I wonder if they all know what I am. They may soon find out if it comes to that, but for now escaping is the best move to make.
"Isn't this a little much for taking me down?" I really didn't expect a response.
We've seen what you can do. After what you did last time, we aren't taking any more chances. Oh great, a psychic. My chances of survival just dropped horribly. What did it mean last time though? Had it been watching when I punched a hole in that Scizor's armor?
"What do you mean last time? Are you talking about what I did to that Scizor? Heh, that was awesome. Steel isn't as hard as it looks. The hole I punched through it's chest was huge for such a strong metal. Nothing's broken either." Gloating makes everyone feel better. It certainly made me feel better about what I did.
"You're sick!" Am I really? In the wilderness, you will be killed and or eaten if you cannot outrun or kill your predator. I think I'm pretty normal compared to the way it is out in the wild. Then again I wasn't naturally born...
"Yeah I am. I'm sooo sick in the head. At least I don't kill just because someone is in my territory. I could care less about how messed up my head is. If you're a fucking psychic then you should know what I went through. Now what do you mean 'last time'?"
"You destroyed a large portion of the forest!"
"No I didn't I got lost and was attacked by a a bunch of pokemon who claimed they knew me."
"You're lying! We all saw you! Our homes are now destroyed because of you!" I don't know which one of them said that, but several of them stepped out of cover.
"Wait before you all attack...." I jumped as hard as I could onto a branch and proceeded upwards a little more before darting forward through the only to be hit back down by something that popped out of nowhere. The moment I hit the ground I rolled to my feet, but was hit by an Ice Beam and frozen from the neck down.
"That was...pretty smart." This ice won't hold me for long, but they probably don't plan on letting me live that long. I've really got to be more observant of my surroundings. Man ice hurts. Fucking weaknesses. Why does ice have to be mine!?
"You're going to pay for what you did." I don't know who said that because I was too busy struggling to get out of the ice.
"I didn't do anything! Now let me go!" They're pissing me off now. Now I may not have destroyed one portion of this forest, but I will if they push me that far. If I could just get one of my hands free or even a small hole in this ice where it would have space to move. As strong as I am, I can't break free? If only I knew how to use Sunny Day...wait the sunlight is shining through! Maybe I could try a Solarbeam. It could work and maybe even blast me out of here...but my moves work from my hands instead of my mouth like most other pokemon. Now how am I supposed to absorb this sunlight?
I looked up the best I could while frozen. The soothing warmth of the solar rays seemed to build up a burning sensation in my gut. Wait if the sun is shining down on me right now...why am I trying to charge up a Solarbeam and give away my escape when I could just wait for the ice to weaken? Also what are people doing with these Ice Beam TMs? Did they just dump a full load of those TMs in a random place out here? Seriously, that's a danger to any and everything in the area. Especially me!
"He's trying to use Solarbeam!" Thanks for telling everyone the obvious. Now they're gonna try and stop me, well not that they haven't already. I could hear them running towards me. Immobilized with one chance at escape, if I'm even a split second late it'll be the end.
"Come on, come on, COME ON!" I started saying as if it would speed up this process. The burning sensation in my gut grew more intense by the second, but every second counted. Wasting even just one was not an option.
Something jumped into my view, roaring, and scared the crap out of me. I shut my eyes and braced for impact...
I have no further comments other than the next part will be really important in the far future. No I am not just throwing things in, but I guess this could be considered that way since it doesn't explain who or what caused the destruction, but it should be obvious. Why? You'll just have to wait till the next chapter.
The title may be changed later.
