Touya and Touko entered the Building of Law with their mother and other family members, some weeping and wiping their eyes with tissues packed inside of bags. The twins remained silent throughout the whole trip to Accumula Town and only spoke if spoken to. For a short time, they felt a solemn excitement for the news of their grandfather's last will and testament, but they expected nothing to be given to them. They quietly took their seats in front of the lawyer's desk; however, the grandchildren had to sit in the back row for the adults to settle some legal matters.
Touko fiddled with her hair with her nerves on the edge. Her pulse pounded for the announcement of the will, but her mind could not shake the image of that poor Quilava lying still on the stretcher board. Touya, however, smiled inwardly to himself with dreams of becoming a Champion one day and finally beating Touko at something they both excelled in.
The time came when the lawyer retrieved the will from his desk and read it aloud. The first few things were distributed equally among the adults, even their mother received a few items and blessings from their Grandfather, but his Pokemon were never even mentioned, until there was a break in the lawyer's speech. The very last thing scribbled on the list proved to be difficult to decipher until he took a magnifying glass and pressed it down against the table. "Your father, Alder—he had terrible penmanship. I can barely make out these words. But, fortunately, we've scanned the document and printed it out—typed." He opened a drawer and pulled out another, typed document and began reading the last part aloud. "Ah, yes, much clearer:
"And my beloved Greil Mercenary Pokemon, all twelve of them, I give to my darling and capable grandchild,"
Touko's and Touya's eyes widened with shock—one of them was about to receive something very dear to their grandfather. However, Touya smirked secretly with the pride of being a Champion-to-be and glanced over to Touko, who seemed quite nervous yet amazed. The lawyer cleared his throat, shattering the tension building up and suffocating the siblings. They waited patiently, but time seemed to tick forever before the lawyer could read the final words printed on the document of fate.
"Little Touko. May they bring all my of love and joy on swift wings."
The adults sharply gasped and chatted among themselves as Touko turned to Touya and spotted the disappointment in his eyes. Her eyes turned wide with excitement, and a smile forced its way across her lips, but she strongly hugged her brother, catching him off guard. This forced him to smile as well and hug his sibling back, despite his disappointment and frustration toward his grandfather. The lawyer cleared his throat again, silencing the room and focusing all attention and eyes upon his face as he rescanned the document's end. "He left a little message at the end:
"To my grandchildren: You are both coming of the adult age. Pokemon are your friends. They will help you to grow and mature into adulthood. They are our invaluable, life-long partners. And Touya, don't feel discouraged. You can become Champion if you work hard enough. Touko, you have a great responsibility on your shoulders. My Mercenary Pokemon will test you in my stead. It would be in your best interest to take the Pokemon League Challenge of Unova and write your own story. I wish you two the best of luck! Have fun!
That is the end of the document." He placed the paper on the desk as the adults chatted among themselves once more, some stealing glances at Touko and her nervous yet excited smile.
