Chapter 10
The Blade
"Between Good and Evil, there is only a very slim line separating them, a line that most people refuses to acknowledge it, claiming that it's a whole abyss, I walk on this line", -Mark Hunter-
Breast Valley City is what most people calls 'Neutral Ground', for it was one of the only cities that hasn't take part on the constant conflict related to the pokegirls rights fight, here tamers and pokegirls are free to interact in any way they see fit, without fear of being jailed or judged, either for treating their pokegirls as equals and loved ones, or treating them as sex slaves an trade objects, however, today, the conflict related to the pokegirls rights wasn't the most interesting thing around, it was a tamer, that without knowing it, has become popular among the low ranked beginners
"Have you heard it?, Mr. Hunter has arrived to our city!", A just started tamer said to a group of friends, who were being overheard by a mysterious figure
'Mr. Hunter?, I think I've heard that name before', The black clad figure thought
"Do you mean, he same Mr. Hunter that conquered an entire hive of enraged Buzzbreasts?!", another random Tamer asked excited
'AN ENTIRE HIVE?!', The Black clad figure was shocked, this only meant a great warrior, probably from another dimension
"I guess he has just stopped at the pokecenter, we should go and see if he can give us some tips, or maybe trade us some pokegirls", The first random tamer stated, and then both tamers laughed, for such random thought, although the black clad figure darted toward the pokecenter, he has to confirm who was this Mr. Hunter
Pokecenter, some minutes later...
"I'm telling you, I'm fine!", Mark said, very annoyed, it was ok to be showered with affection and concern from his pokegirls, but not from other people
"Mark, you should be careful!, Delta bonds are dangerous in battles!", Ramza shouted, he needed him alive and strong to kick the butts of his brothers
"He is right, Mark, your pokegirls my be strong, but you are still human", Shadow stated, he didn't want to lose his new big brother
"Why don't you go and get lost and leave me to my own thoughts?", Mark asked unfriendly, he recovered fast enough thanks to the healing milk of Mia, and now he wanted to deal with a new nuisance, alone
'You are still being watched', Inner Mark stated
'I know, and I'm curious about what he wants', Mark replied, while at the other side of the room, the black clad figure was still watching him with strange interest
'This is strange... I haven't seen a presence like this in all my life... is not far beyond from a slightly trained human, in terms of Ki, but there is something else there, another kind of... force', The black clad figure thought, he was used to read other peoples Ki, which allowed him to measure their strength and capabilities, even feel where they are, but this, man, was different
"IGGY, please scan that guy, the one with the white coat", the black clad figure whispered, and the round gem on his right hand slightly shined
"Of course, Zetsumi, just gimme a moment...

"But?", Zetsumi asked, he just couldn't imagine what's wrong that IGGY could be acting like this
"There are more scan readings from his body, either Delta bonds, or...", IGGY said with a wary voice
"A transcendent being?!", Zetsumi asked, he was ready to run away, gods and angels were a big NO in his list of meetings
"No, Zetsumi, it's more like something... different... he is nothing like all the data you have uploaded into my memory, he is... strange", IGGY Replied, and Zetsumi relaxed, strange doesn't means dangerous in his mind
"I see, we'll have to keep a close eye on him, he may be what we have... WAIT A SECOND! WHERE DID HE GO?!", Zetsumi shouted, scaring a few tamers, for Mark just disappeared from his sight
A few minutes later...
Zetsumi was starting to doubt about everything from this tamer, from his information, to the fact that he was human, he had just been doing normal things, like purchasing cloths, obviously for his pokegirls, to ask for a set of special necklaces, and now, on a weapon smith shop, he took out from his backpack, a laptop, to show something to the Romanticide
"A portable PC?, interesting, IGGY, Can you enter it?", Zetsumi asked, he wanted to know everything possible before approaching him in a more directly fashion
"I'm sorry Zetsumi, but I can't, the technology he uses make me unable to enter his system", IGGY replied after some seconds of trying, and this surprised the black clad young man
"Is it that advanced?!", Zetsumi asked in shock
"Errr... it's more like, archaic... so old that it doesn't allow external programs to enter... or work", IGGY explained, while virtually sweat dropping
"Sneaking around someone is quite impolite, why don't you ask directly what you want, instead of playing stalker?", Mark asked, surprising Zetsumi, who didn't felt him moving, which was quite a feat
"Ok... I guess I should apologize and explain myself, right?", Zetsumi asked, trying his luck, for he was still unable to read the KI of this person
"Sure, I still have some time before returning to the pokecenter, so please, start, I'm sure you are not from here", Mark replied, and Zetsumi understood that he was able to see the truth about his origins, or at least part of it
Meanwhile at the Pokecenter...
To say that Shadow was boiling in rage would be an understatement, and even Ramza felt the impending doom on the main hall of the pokecenter, all because a tamer decide to punish his pokegirl in public, for her third lose
"STUPID WHORE!!!, YOU SHOULD BE UBER POWERFUL, NOT UBER WEAK!", The tamer shouted in rage to the little purple skinned girl at his feet, Ramza scanned her out of curiosity, and got scared

The tamer gave another kick to the little girl, Ramza was about to suggest Shadow to stop the guy, but such request wasn't needed
"Hey you!, stop right now!", Shadow shouted, in righteous fury
"Why?, she is my property, I can do to her what I want!", The tamer replied, full of himself
"Then I challenge you to a salvage pokebattle!", Shadow shouted, and the tamer grinned at the offering
"Fine, I, Gary Stroak, accept your puny challenge!", the tamer accepted, reaching for a pokeball
"I have a bad feeling about this...", Ramza muttered, he really wished that Mark didn't entered just now, or there will be a lot of blood spilled
On the streets...
Mark and Zetsumi had a nice chat, both enjoying a smart talk, one that they hadn't had in a while, now they knew something about the other, Mark now knew that Zetsumi was an ex-soldier from another dimension, one were the 'gods' walked among the humans on daily basis, and all of them worked for the A. E. S. I. R. Corp, which in turn controlled the whole world, why Zetsumi was now here, was still a mystery, but Mark had enough to weight his worth, both as an ally and as an enemy. Zetsumi now knew the whole name of the fabled Mr. Hunter, 'PhD. Mark Hunter', and that he was actually a scientist, one specialized on very small beings named virus and bacteria, things unknown on his home world, very fascinating how something so small can kill a full grown human
"It has been nice to talk with you, Mr. Hunter, but now I'm intrigued on your portable technology, and if you wish, I can make some upgrades on it and your pokedex, as a fellow dimensional traveler, I think you want to avoid the watchful eye of the rangers", Zetsumi purposed
"So you can take a look on all my 'special data'?", Mark asked with absolute boredom, and Zetsumi stiffened, he could lie, but decided otherwise, after all, he looked like a better partner than any normal tamer, and he needed someone to trust in this weird world
"Y-yeah... sorry for not asking directly... but you must understand that...", Zetsumi babbled, and Mark simply handled him the laptop, as if fully trusting him
"Suit yourself", Mark stated, and Zetsumi started to work on it...
15 minutes later...
Zetsumi was dumbstruck, it has been ten minutes after he finished the upgrades, after that, he opened Mark's secret files, which had a very laughable security lock, unfortunately, all his smartness was useless against he was reading... which he had no idea what he was looking at, schematics?, codes?, he just had no idea
"Molecular structures... are you finish yet?", Mark answered Zetsumi's question, not that it cleared his doubts
"Y-yeah, now you can use your pokedex without alerting the rangers or authorities", Zetsumi replied, while praising himself for connecting his own pokedex to Mark's laptop, so, he can stay out of sight too, since his PC was somewhat trackable due to it's advanced interface, unlike Mark's one
'A hacker, and a good one, his ignorance isn't fake, so he could be a good addition', Inner Mark suggested, and Mark gave a mental nod, unfortunately, he had no chance to ask for anything
"THERE HE IS, THERE IS THAT STRANGE TAMER!", A tamer shouted, he was the same that Mark beat in the forest
"LET'S STEAL ALL HIS POKEGIRLS!!!", a bunch of weirdos shouted, all of them wearing black jackets with the red letters 'BB', on it, Mark and Zetsumi made the most logical choice, they ran away...
Just outside the pokecenter...
It was a one on one pokebattle, and it was at a standstill, Gary was playing safe by using a metal slimette princess, taking just so little damage, that it was just useless, while Shadow was using Lena, his cactora

"HAHAHA!!!, it's useles!, just give up, and hand over your girls, so I can chose who to fuck!", Gary shouted, and Shadow boiled in rage
"THAT'S ENOUGH!, LENA, SHOWER HIM ON NEEDLES, I DON'T CARE HOW MANY, JUST SHOWER HIM!!!", Shadow shouted, and Lena use the only attack she aw fit for that
"1000 NEEDLES!!!", Lena shouted, activating her most deadly weapon, of course Gary jumped behind his metal slimette, who got obliterated by the brutal attack, giving the victory to Shadow
"THE WINNER IS TAMER SHADOW SLAYER!!!", An Officer Jenny declared, which forced Gary to hand over one of his pokegirls
"Go ahead, chose one", Gary said, but Shadow already made his choice long ago
"I want the Bratini", Shadow stated, and Gary laughed, hard, he threw the pokeball with the shy dragon inside, and made the proper data transfer, and went away voicing how idiot was Shadow for selcting said pokegirl
"Why didn't you used that attack from the beginning?", Ramza asked to Shadow, who looked puzzled
"I didn't know she had such an attack?", Shadow replied, making Ramza face fault
On an alley...
Mark and Zetsumi had been running for some time now, none of them had called out their pokegirls, for resons of their own, also, they hadn't been able to lose the guys that were chasing them, and now, they were in an alley, that had no other exit, seemingly trapped
"Ok, Mr. Hunter, I doubt this has been an accident, so, are we planning on fighting them in a bottleneck place where their numbers won't matter?", Zetsumi asked, for that tactic was not strange to him, he was getting his glaive ready, while Mark was taking out a water bottle
"Something like that, now put that weapon aside, I need a clear shot", Mark stated, and then started a chant, or a mummble, Zetsumi couldn't recognize it at first, but his trained ear caugh some words known to him, but from another dimension, another world, something almost unholy
... Mother Gaia I beseech you...
... Grant me power over my enemies...
... Let your blood flow with power...
... let the Darkness infect my foes...
"Holy Shit!, that's the language of...", Zetsumi muttered, while Mark took a sip of water, and just as the gang entered the alley, he spat the water at them, making them fall to the ground, screaming
"MY EYES!!!"
"I CAN'T SEE!!!"
"WHERE IS EVERYONE!!!"
"HELP!!!"
"Now unsheath your weapon, Blade Soldier, and let's spill some evil blood, The Gaia demand it, and better them than us", Mark said in a zealous voice, while taking out a cutter, and getting ready for some killing
"Yes, one of them...", Zetsumi said, this one will be one powerful ally, in whatever was about to start, he just could feel it, and this man, was a powerful link in the world changing events about to unfold
Magnus: Well, did you like it?, think it can be better?, more twists will be added, and Mark's purpose in this world will be revealed soon enough!
