Chapter 15: The Rangers
"Thanks for bringing me to town Dusknoir, I owe you one," I said to him outside in the town's forest.
"This is to fight against your mother, not to help you." He said. "Stay safe, I don't feel like rescuing you twice! I have things to do and people to visit. I want to wage war on your mother!"
"Good luck with that! And I'll try my best to stay out of your way," I said. My left arm grew tired because I was holding Eevee in my arm all that time.
"How are you going to get around now?" asked Duknoir.
"I don't know. I have to buy something to wear something to hide myself from the Wizards for now," I said, patting my back pocket and feeling my wallet. "Hopefully the store owners won't mind if they have to help me get dressed."
"Well good luck on your journey," he said, and he faded from existence like a shadow in the light.
"Eevee," I muttered, shacking my arm violently.
She opened her eyes and yawned. Then she nearly fell rolled right off my arm. I put her down on the ground where she stood awake.
"Good morning," I said, stretching my arm.
"Good morning," she said her fur on end. She must've been surprised when she nearly fell.
"We're in town." I said, rubbing her head. "And we're going to need to get you a new Pokeball."
"Don't you have mine?" she asked.
"No," I said.
"Oh alright." She said. "You should let everyone out of the ball for a while, I'm sure they're dying to stretch their legs. And find out what's going on!"
I pulled the two Pokeballs off my belt and let the two Pokemon out.
"I'm out! Finally! Took you long enough!" shouted Zorua.
"Thank you sir!" said Scyther.
So that's what the two were saying. Zorua was arrogant and Scyther was obedient.
"Give me a hug!" said Scyther running at me with his arm blades wide open. One would've definitely mistaken the scyther for trying to kill me with passion. So much for obedience.
"No wait, Scyther stop!" I said, turning around and running head first into a tree. I fell down and fell on my back.
Zorua and Eevee combusted into laughter as Scyther started to worriedly chant," Are you okay? Sir are you okay? Answer me!"
"I'm fine." I said sitting up.
"What happened to your eyes?" asked Scyther.
"His eyes," Zorua said, I can hear him getting closer.
"Well my eyes are destroyed." I said. "A lot of things happened while you guys were in your ball."
"Yup, a lot of things did happen." Agreed Eevee.
Zorua and Scyther frowned and looked at each other, as if they pondered if either of them knew what was going on.
I went onto explain what happened, after the day me, Aria, and Latias all hung out. How I was stuck back at home, and how I had lost most of my sight.
"So that's why you kept us waiting for so long." He said, as if it all made sense. "And now you're able to talk to us."
"Yeah." I said.
"And you're telling me your mother's some evil boss who wants to take over the world." Asked Scyther.
I nodded.
"Huh," said Zorua. "Yeah, you're going to need my help. You can't depend on these two."
"I can definitely help you sir!" said Scyther. "Gladly I will."
"Thanks you two," I said. "But how in the world are we going to get off this island."
"If only a certain character can fly." Said Zorua.
"Very funny." Said Scyther, irritably.
"Knock it off you two," said Eevee. "We're in a serious situation here."
"I need to get new clothes." I said suddenly deciding.
I could feel their stares on me, defiantly thinking you're supposed to be the most serious one of all.
"I need it to conceal myself. Eevee, can you guide me around and tell me when we get near a clothing store, that sells clothing for the summer Eevee?"
"Sounds easy enough." Said Eevee.
"Zorua, Scyther, you two are going to stay in your ball. But since you've been trapped inside for so long, I figure you want to walk around. At this rate I have no idea when you guys are going to next get out."
"Thanks," said Scyther.
"I deserve better," complained Zorua.
These two are at the far ends of their extremes.
"Once you guys are ready to get back in, just tell me, but don't make it too long, I want to leave before the wizards realize that their science project just ran off. I'm going to go to sleep for now."
I yawned and curled up by a tree.
"I'll warn you if I hear anyone sir," said Scyther.
"That'll be just fine," I mumbled. I blinked and I was in a different place.
Aria sat in front of me. I could feel someone sitting beside me. My eyesight was back, and on the opposite side of the room, besides Aria, sat Eevee. I looked to my left and saw Latias in her human form. There were windows around us and we were sitting in a closed off room. Out the window there were many lights of different colors.
"You awake?" asked Aria, with a small smirk.
"Huh, what do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean, you literally fell asleep the moment you got in here and sat down." she said chuckling.
"But I thought." I started to say. Was I dreaming?
"What's wrong, did you have a nightmare?" asked Latias' voice in my head.
"I thought you were. But you," I said looking at Aria then looking back at Latias.
Latias smiled and gave me a hug. My eyes watered and a tear rolled down my eyes.
"Really are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, just a nightmare." I muttered. I hugged Latias back, I could feel her tender skin. Had I missed her that much?
"What happened in your nightmare?" asked Aria.
"Aria you had betrayed me and sold the two of us off." I said, not letting Latias go.
"Oh right," she said, her voice changing, to something somewhat deeper.
"Yes now I remember," said Latias, her voice changing.
I looked at Aria, her face had changed into my mother's.
Latias pulled free, her face was replaced by my mother's.
"Wha-wha?" I started to say confused.
"Now then continue with the operation." Said Eevee, she turned her head, her face replaced by my mother's.
"No, no, no!" I screamed and someone woke me up shouting, "Wake up, Wake up!"
"Dusknoir," I mumbled my eyesight back to being bad.
"Wake up!" He shouted. He slapped me lightly and the moment I flinched his face became my mother's.
"Stop!" I shouted.
I stood up and hit something headfirst. "Ow…" I moaned.
"Are you okay sir?" asked a familiar voice. "You were mumbling in your sleep something about Latias and your mom."
"You guys are yourselves right?" I asked.
"Of course we are." Said Scyther.
I looked behind him and saw something familiar.
"Who's that behind you?" I asked.
"It's only me honey!" said my mom's voice.
"Stop stop stop stop stop stop," I shouted.
Then she broke into a laughter of a different voice. She exploded into smoke and when it cleared it was only a small figure presumably Zorua.
"Zorua," I muttered with relief.
Zorua started to laugh boisterously.
"How dare you scare him so!" shouted Scyther.
"You two, please be quiet, I'm trying to also catch some sleep." Moaned Eevee, beside me.
"But you saw him, he was even stammering, like stop stop stop stop," but he couldn't finish it without laughing.
"Are you okay, sir?" asked Scyther.
"Yeah I'm fine, just rattled." I said.
"Let me give you a hug," said Scyther trying to hug me.
"No stop se-seriously," I said, still kind of shaken. I let him hug me anyway, I trusted he wouldn't hurt me. "That's really messed up Zorua."
"It's funny though," he said.
I frowned and shrugged.
"Are you guys ready to go, or do you want to stay here longer?" I asked, ignoring Zorua.
"It's probably been at least an hour, we should get going," said Scyther.
"Zorua , what about you?" I asked.
"Yeah let's get going, but wait. Just let me laugh some more." Said Zorua.
I stared at him flatly and searched for their Pokeballs as Zorua laughed.
"Return you two," I said clicking the button of the balls simultaneously. They both returned.
"Eevee ready to go?" I asked.
"Of course," she said standing up and stretching. I put her in my hood and said," remember the plan."
We were at a clothing store by sunrise. Thankfully there was a person already inside and had decided to let us in.
"I'm the manager. Youngman what are you doing at this early hour?" he asked.
"Well I need some clothes." I said. "Some Summer clothes."
"Why don't you wait, till the store opens?" he asked.
"Me and my mother were supposed to be traveling today to the other island but all the clothes my mom bought were too small. I just tried them on last night. She told me to get some first thing in the morning today."
"Isn't this too early." He asked me.
"The earlier the better." I said, softly.
"Alright alright," he said, stepping aside.
"Umm… Sorry, can you help me pick out some clothes. I can't see well, I left my glasses at home. Anything will do, maybe something with a hood, but still kind of easy to wear in the summer."
"Oh, umm… Sure" he said. "How much do you want to pay for the clothes."
"Oh crud. I don't know how much I have in my wallet, however much money my mother put in my wallet. Hold on," I said. I took out my wallet and quickly flipped through it. Eevee's head peered over my shoulder and muttered," You have about 5,000."
"Well if I remember correctly I have 5,000." I said.
"You said, something with a hood right?" he asked, I could see him walk away. I looked around the small store and realized this was probably one of those one of a kind and expensive clothing stores. There were small racks around the room that were bundled with clothing. A lot of clothing. There were a couple mannequins posed around the room that wore different clothing. Most of it seemed to have very bright colors.
"Yeah, something that teens my age usually wear." I said, starting to really miss my eye sight.
"What about this?" he asked. He pulled something from a rack and showed it to me. "If you can't see, it's a hoodie with short sleeves. They seem to still be in fashion, even in the middle of summer. Though I can't sell any of it! Well the thing I like about this hoodie is that the sides of the chest and stomach area are exposed, so it's easier to where in the summer. I thought this would be really successful, but after a few years, only a few customer's bought it."
I took it out of his hands and felt it. The material was thin, but it wasn't see through. Like the manager said, the sides were exposed, so it looked more like a poncho-hoodie. But unlike most hoodies, or ponchos, there were three straps on the side to cover up the exposed area, and to tighten around the person wearing the clothes. Though I couldn't see it, I liked it.
"I like it," I said, with a smile. "How much?"
"You really do?"
"Yeah, it seems very unique and original. I wouldn't mind wearing it." Not that I could see to begin with, but I think even if I could see I would want to wear it.
"I'll sell it for 1000," said the man.
"That's not so expensive, I'll take it!" I said, blindly handing him some money from my wallet.
"You gave me too much. Oh right, you can't see. Hold on, I'll get you some change."
"Wait, we still need to decide on my jeans, and shoes." I said.
"Oh right, well then pay me afterwards." He said, handing me back my money.
"Well as a set I know that you should wear army boots, and just a simple pair of jeans, maybe a black t-shirt under the hoodie?"
He seemed to know where each item mentioned was, like if he had the catalogue embedded in his head.
"How much, and my boot size is 10.5." I said, thinking ahead.
"Thanks, you can take it all for 4000," he said.
"Alright, are you cutting the price for me?" I asked, noticing how cheap all of this was.
"No, well maybe a little."
"You shouldn't do that," I said.
"Well son, I'm going out of business anyway. You probably didn't read but there's a 50% off sale on everything."
"Thank you," I said softly.
"Don't mention it," he said.
I handed him some money from my wallet, he took it and said," Don't get yelled out by your mom."
"Thank you," I repeated myself. He put the clothing in a bag and handed it to me. I reached out and grabbed hold of the handle, and walked out the store. "There are still a few people who aren't rotten." I muttered.
"There is no formula for every person or Pokemon," said Eevee.
I changed the subject.
"How am I going to get off this island?" I asked Eevee."Police?"
"Well I guess so, but well. I wonder if your mom has some control of them on this island." Said Eevee.
"I doubt it, news of my escape shouldn't have gotten out yet." I said. "Will you lead me to the police?"
"Sure, just keep walking forward." Said Eevee.
"You again!" cut in a voice. I gasped in shock. I instinctively turned around and started to run away.
"Wait," called a voice.
"Run run run," said Eevee. "Suspicious old man in a wizard suit, straight behind us."
"Turn?" I asked.
"Turn, umm right!" shouted Eevee.
I turned right instinctively, the running made my vision a strange blur, like if I were looking out the window of a car.
"My right!" she shouted.
"Our rights are the same," I argued.
"Oh right, left 180 left!" she shouted.
I ran straight into something, no someone.
"We meet again." Sad the voice.
I turned around and started to run.
"Left, left!" shouted Eevee.
I ignored her for just a brief second and ran into a pole. I bounced back and fell onto my bum. My face burned with the pole's engraving.
"Are you okay?" asked the Wizard.
"Leave me alone!" I shouted and stood up. I turned left once more and started to run back down the street.
"No wait, I'm not a Wizard! I'm handsome!"
I ignored him and continued down the hill.
"Left," said Eevee. I turned and kept running. "I should probably tell you I have no idea where the police are."
I groaned and asked," Is the guy still behind me?
"No," she said in just a second.
Listening to Eevee's obscure directions I somehow ended up at the police station. I could hear the ocean to my left. It felt like it took us nearly an hour. By the time I got there I had started walking rather than running. I sat on the bench and said," Hold let me catch my breath."
"Run!" shouted Eevee.
"Seriously," I said standing up.
"That's him," said the same person's voice.
"I swear," I said starting to walk away.
"No please wait," said the voice from behind me. "It's me agent Handsome."
"Handsome?" I asked.
"You know the guy you lied to when he asked about the Latias case." Said the man.
"Oh yeah," I said remembering.
"Thank goodness, now please sit down and listen to me." Said the man.
"Right," I said.
I could see him pass right by me and sit on the bench next to me.
"Should I bite him?" asked Eevee.
"No not yet." I muttered.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"So well then," said Handsome. "As you know I'm the secret agent. I've been playing as a spy in the Wizards and I got intel that you were some kind of important science experiment. Do you know what you are?"
I didn't trust him. People aren't really trustable. Just like Aria and my mother backstabbed me. I breathed in calmly and said," Go ahead Eevee." Eevee jumped out of my hood and bit the 'handsome' guy.
"Oww! My shoulder!" he shouted out loud.
I stood up and put my arms towards Handsome. Eevee leapt into them and we ran up the street. "Backup, get him!" I could hear him shout behind me.
"Left!" called Eevee, and ran me into a dark area. "Hide in the dumpster!"
I stopped and lifted the lid to my left. I threw my clothes inside and threw myself in there. It didn't smell pleasant but it was an easy hiding place.
I could hear people run past.
"Smells bad," claimed Eevee.
"Yeah," I agreed. "What's next?" I felt hopeless all over again. My paths were being torn away. It seemed most recently my destiny has been controlled. The last path is to sneak onboard a boat. Each time I lost hope it felt like a limb was torn. Was the light at the end of this cave just a small light that comes from a hole one inch wide? Was I ever going to escape this cave?
"Let's wait around, 'outside', till night!" said Eevee.
"Good idea," I said depressed.
I lifted the lid partially and let Eevee peak outside, "Good to go." I fully opened the lid and jumped out, with the bag in my hand. I slid behind the dumpster and asked Eevee," Do you think we really have a chance at escaping?"
"Of course." She said. "At the end of this trip we can find a gym trainer to train under. You can continue your studies at a nearby library. Every now and then Latias or maybe those people that you met on the mountain can come see you. Maybe you will be able to finally meet her brother .No that's what we 'will' do. I promise it."
I smiled and said," Yeah, which gym leader should we study under."
"Why not the normal-type. She seemed nice enough." She looked up at me. "You should stop crying."
"Huh?" I asked. I hadn't even noticed, I had been looking forward to it. After all of this blows over. I wanted to have some big party with everyone. My heart thumped nervously. Latias? Why do I keep getting so nervous when I think about her? I don't understand. I ignored it for the time being, and wiped the tears off my face on my sleeve.
"Thinking happily is something you shouldn't cry about it," she climbed up to my shoulder and said," That's what you would've said before."
I smiled. I wonder if my life will ever be the same.
"We should get back to the forest and hideout there." Said Eevee. "For now though let's look around and see if we can grab something to eat."
"Stay here," I said. "I'll get us something to-"
She bit my ear.
"Oww." I moaned.
"You and I are a team, no, I should include Scyther." She said.
I stared at her.
"Alright, Zorua too. Now c'mon before I nibble on you some more." She said. I stood up.
We ended up getting some food from a street vendor. We waited till night before we snuck off back to the forest, where I fed Scyther and Zorua their portion of the food.
"Have you decided what we're going to do son?" said Zorua, in my mother's form.
"Stop!" said me, Scyther and Eevee in unison.
"Hehehe," he chuckled to himself. Returning to his normal form
"But seriously what are we going to do sir?" asked Scyther.
"I've got no clue." I admitted. "By now everyone was searching for me. Police and Wizards alike."
"Hijacking a boat seems possible." Said Eevee. "It would have to be one of those big boats. And we will need to get rid of your current clothing. Not now, but later, once we get in the boat throw the clothes overboard, and goodbye ice land."
We all became quiet, we were all worried.
"Well if anything happens I'll release you all," I said calmly.
"Roukou, I told you!" said Eevee, angrily.
"Sir…" Said Scyther.
"Roukou," said Zorua.
"Sir, I'm not calling you sir for just nothing you know." Said Scyther. "I call you sir, because I owe you my life. My life is in your hands. So don't just throw me out like a ragdoll."
"Who else am I going to prank," said Zorua. "If I'm not traveling with you, I'm bored. I would have nowhere else to go! We all need you, so don't just us like were expendable."
We all stared at Zorua, surprised by how kind he actually was.
"Err… I take it back they need you, I got better people to prank." Said Zorua, with a smirk.
I smiled and said," Thanks all of you."
"You better get some rest, sir," said Scyther normally. "I'll watch over you."
"I've got nothing better to do, we'll take shifts," Said Zorua.
"Thanks I muttered," I laid against the nearest tree. I closed my eyes and rested.
"This one is interesting," said a voice.
I opened, staring into a black emptiness.
"Who's there!" I shouted, looking around.
"I am the younger brother, like you. The pattern of time, it's coming to a change. Like many people and like my brother they have looked backward to what is true and what is false. Then they go on blabbering about the details. Fighting, fighting, fighting. Of course I won't say that the past is unimportant, but they are destroying the future, bringing kids into this scuffle. And the pattern continues, onward, and onward. What do you choose?"
"I choose a question, who are you?" I said calmer.
The voice sighed and said," You are interesting, you make a good candidate as the chosen one for my brother. You have the same ideas. Many people do. But yet you have ideals for the future. Strange. However your older brother is teaming up with my older brother. We are the ones who will make the future. Will you lend me your hand? Will you stop being so blind and will you move onward?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You are still at the age, of naivety. You will come to understand. For time repeats, repeats, repeats. However just this once, we have a shot. Will you be able to see to the future, and ignore the quarrels of the past? You are also the one who will guide the truth. You are the key to three locks which door shall you open with me?"
"Who are you?"
"I am Zekrom."
"Time to wake up!" called a voice.
I sat up, and said," Zekrom wait!"
"You have interesting dreams, sir." Said Scyther to my right.
"What?" I said, "Where was I?"
"In a dream," said Zorua, from my right. "You were sleep talking again, saying stuff like, who are you? What are you talking about? Yadda yadda yadda."
I looked around, it was clearly morning, and the dumpster smell that I had been cloaked in was gone.
"Are you going to be okay, sir?" asked Scyther. "I worry for you. I have much trust in Eevee, but I worry for you."
"I'll be…" I looked at Eevee sleeping by my side. "We'll be okay."
Scyther smiled in approval and said," When are we going to get onboard the ship?"
"At night, tonight." I said. "But I'm going to head into town first, get some breakfast."
"Sounds good." Said Eevee waking up.
"Don't worry," I said to Scyther. That's when I noticed. I furrowed my eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I can see the aura again."
"What?" said Eevee surprised.
I smiled and said, "What good fortune."
I could see Zorua walk towards me. "Good now you won't get scared by my pranks." I can see his aura flicker deviously, but yet in a friendly way.
"Let's get going, you two return." I said, I pulled out my Pokeball's and put them back.
I picked up Eevee and put her in my hood.
The street vendor's were at work very early. I never knew that. I had bought a couple pretzels for Eevee and myself. We were sharing it and were nonchalantly walking down the street. When I bumped straight into someone. I fell onto my bum once more.
A hand reached for me and I had to stop myself from slapping it. Before my eyes stood two men, older than me probably.
"Two teenager's you should grab his hand." Warned Eevee.
"Are you okay?" asked the teen, a guy, probably not much older than I was. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. His aura was a good one. The guy next to him, not really. "Sorry about that."
I put up a defensive guard and gave him a quiet," Thanks."
The man that lent me his hand sucked his teeth and said," Shoot, sorry about the pretzels."
"It's okay." I muttered and was about to pass by him when he grabbed my shoulder. I spun around instinctively and was about to glare at him when I held it back and said," What?"
"Let me buy you some. It's wrong for me to just do that, you know? Do it for my sake, okay?" he said. "Stay here, I'll find another vendor."
"We're on a mission, Cell." Said the other teen.
"I know, I know, but the mission doesn't mean treat people rudely," said the guy named Cell.
"I hate that side of you, Cell." Said the teen and then decided. "Make it quick!"
"Wait here for a second." Said Cell, he ran off. He reminded me just a little of my previous self.
"Cell that guy always being so kind," he said the other guy sighing. He tapped his feet impatiently. "If he doesn't learn to be more rude, that guy's going to have a hard time as a ranger! You kid!"
I nearly jumped surprised by his attitude. I returned his attitude and furrowed my brows and said," What?"
"You go some nerve bumping into us." Said the guy.
"You got some nerve bumping into me." I said.
"Who do you think you are?" he asked.
"Who do you think you are?" I repeated, angrily.
"Umm… You shouldn't pick a fight," warned Eevee.
"You're right this guy isn't worth my time." I said, and was about to walk off when he said," I'm the government's special force. You think you can get away with just mouthing off at me?"
I wanted to shout at him, that he was nothing, that I was the secret weapon of the Wizards but I held it back, instead sarcastically saying," Wow so you're the government's dog, wow impressive, what do you do lick the president's boots? Or his face?"
"You piece of trash, I challenge you to a Pokemon battle." Said the man.
"A real man fights, instead of putting his friends into battle. Or what, are you one of those people that call your Pokemon underlings, or tools?" I asked angrily.
"Hey, cool it," said Eevee.
"You're right!" said the boy, walking up to me. He grabbed my collar and said," A real man speaks with his fists."
"A knuckle dragger I see. The type I hate most." I said without a second thought.
"Hey what are you two doing there!" shouted Cell in the distance.
"You're lucky kid." He said, letting go of me.
I would've said he was lucky, but I didn't want to put myself into a fight for real. I bit back a line of insults.
"What were you doing!" asked Cell, to the other guy, when he got here.
"I was going to teach him some manners." Said the guy.
He sighed and gave me the pretzels saying, "sorry this guy is kinda mean at times. Say have I seen you somewhere before?"
"Thank you." I said softly, and turned around.
"Hey he asked you something," said the other guy, his hand on my shoulder.
"I've got my rights," I said angrily. Resisting the urge to smack him with my clothing bag.
"I'm really sorry," said Cell.
"Don't be," said the other guy.
"Hey wait," said Cell.
He ran up to me and said," Are you going somewhere? Do you need help with something?"
"No," I said.
He gestured with his hand to lean in, to whisper something to me. I leaned towards him as he told me to.
"I know you're the wanted Roukou." He said softly. I nearly jumped by he smiled at me. "Yeah, so don't worry about it. But it's my mission. Thought that's what you are, I'm sure you need help. Turn yourself in the government can help you."
I in turn whispered to his ear. "The cops don't seem good."
He in turn whispered into my ear. "The cops around here are corrupted. They're bored and will do anything for some fun." He patted my shoulder and smiled. "What do you think?"
I held out my hands.
"Sheesh we aren't going to cuff you. We're just going to ask you to come with us." Said Cell.
"What what are you doing?" asked the guy.
"Roukou, is now with us. Mission complete." Said Cell, with a smile. But even though he seemed to be saying this, as if it were for the mission, I felt like he was doing this out of kindness. I couldn't help but trust him.
"Is this okay?" asked Eevee.
"Yeah," I said. "His aura isn't bad."
"Roukou," said the other guy, as if he knew me now. "Next time I see I'm gonna cuff you and throw you in jail."
"That's only if I'm less important than you." I taunted.
"Why you." Said the guy.
"Ease off," said Cell to the other guy. "You too though."
I nodded. I just hope my aura reading was good. Well I'll put my trust in this Cell guy. He seems good. Like a brotherly way.
Setsuna Damius note: Scyther is definitely not Gokudera from Reborn lol. (If you don't know who he is, this is a basic summary. He follows around the 10th mafia boss shouting tenth! Tenth! I am your right hand man tenth! Oh yeah his ability is to hide dynamites on his body.) I wish I had something else to have scyther say. Sir, kind of sounds strange. Roukou would object to master. (Wow Roukou is starting to be more of a human being now isn't he?) ("I am," stated Roukou.) ( "Shutup, Roukou Before I send you back to the wizard.")
Oh yeah, note that Pokemon currency is probably based on Yen. In Japan, one yen is worth a cent, so 100 yen is a dollar. 5000, is 50$ and 1000 is 10$.
Darn it, the phone was really handy, now I have no way to finalize my drawings, or for that matter Bring them into photoshop. I know you're probably thinking well the Vita has a camera and don't I own a camera in general? To answer the questions that you're probably asking. My father has the camera, and if I asked him if I could use it to take pictures of fanfiction art, he'd probably be angered. The other camera is unable to be charged. The Vita's camera. That's not what you call a camera, unless it's using some 16-bit filter! (Filter - in photoshop you can add effects to your drawings.)So another words, trying to re-trace my art is likes trying to retrace a 16-bit Mario. So now, all I can do is try to trace the 16 bit garbage. Another question you're probably asking is, I thought you had no way to finish drawings. I got my hands on a laptop (for now), but I have to do everything in one shot, it is my dad's after all.
(The other laptop you ask? I err… Well I was on a skateboard with it, my friend half jokingly kicked it from beneath my feet, dropped it. And broke Yeah (Guilt)).
Or I have to send it on the gmail, back to my computer, delete it off the laptop, then when I want to continue it, vice versa. Not fun. The other question you're probably asking is, why not use a scanner? I have a scanner, two in fact, but the paper size I'm drawing on is way too big. (It's easier drawing like this).Unless you want half a Roukou and half an Eevee, it's not happening.
You know I just realized, I never thought about how Latias would look. I mean all this time past, I just replaced Latias with the actual Latias from the movie. Hmm… Got to work on that. I kinda know what Cell is going to look like. A little like Minato from Naruto, but not really, same kind of facial expression, soft grin, and soft eyes. But much younger, (And in ranger clothing). Or maybe more like Naruto big gleaming grin.
If you guys seriously have nothing to do over the summer and want to learn photoshop. Let me give you some advice, go to that google Search bar (Yeah that one) and type in Control Paint. This guy Mat, Boy he's giving some basic photoshop advice. In fact my dad (He's an elite I can assure you) is telling me to go to there first so I understand the basics. He also will teach you a little about drawing traditionally, but don't expect to learn A LOT he'll teach you some. But the main dish is photoshop. Some of the stuff I've been watching him do, blows my mind, and now I've also got that info in my brain. Now the unfortunate part is you're probably going to want a Wacom tablet, or a stylus tablet. (Not that Apple I-Pad stuff) But a real one. Look at the Asus Ep 121. It's a REAL laptop, a REAL computer, with a REAL POINTY stylus, (Unlike a certain something(s).) You're going to need a pointy stylus because well you want a pencil rather than chalk when you start drawing right? Same thing here. Course I won't say that computer is some top of the market gear. It isn't. You can run an old Photoshop on it decently (CS3 is okay, that's what I'm currently using). It's also going to die FAST, like the battery life (Shakes head) it also gets hot, and it makes a good electric heat blanket in the winter. (What have I just said?) And it's heavy, don't expect yourself to stand there and draw a tree in the park (For all I know). But you get my point, old, but I guess usable. I'm okay with a Wacom (Personally) but you know might be easier. Now if you're REALLY rich like your dad throws money at people, then search up a Cintiq. Now that's some top of the line gear. That's all I got for you at the moment. By the way, does anyone know a tutorial series that teaches painting techniques on photoshop? Mat teaches the basics, but don't expect to be drawing wondrous, beautiful, art that you see on Devian sometimes, he'll teach you the basics but I dunno if he teaches the art trendy stuff.
(WARNING WARNING Spoilers Roukou's Pokemon team spoilers. The noon-spoiler notes end here!)
Anyway! Darn it, I just realized I lost all the next Pokemon again. Don't worry though I just got to remember who in the world I'm going to put in just one slot. And what kind of slot he is going to take. (Definitely He because the team is going to be three girls, and three guys. Unless the character is genderless.) Arrogant, taken, Leader (sort of), taken, not so nice rich person, taken, shy and clumsy taken, loyal peon, taken, who else is left now. Hmm… Well Maybe wild? Or maybe simply calm and collected. Er… I don't know.
Well here's my current team.
Eevee, Zorua, Scyther, Dragonite, Blank, and Delphox.
Well I don't have an ice type. I don't need a legendary either. Who is my favorite ice type? Weavile? Naw… I already have a dark type… In fact! Why not a fighting type. Not medicham, a childhood dislike. How about scrap that. Ooh… I've got an idea! Froslass! There, now I definitely won't lose the character chart! Well I told you guys now!
No wait, a second! Frosslass can only be a girl…. For the love of…
Mamoswine is too bulky, I don't like him.
*Snaps fingers* Got a shaymin! Shaymin is pretty cool as the last Pokemon. Has good stats, and can transform changing the tide of battles in a jiffy.
Alright let's say that I weren't to use a legendary who would I use? The only reason I'm not calling on Rotom, is because… Well I have my reasons hehehe…
Breloom… I like him, but… Ehh… (Just not for this story maybe.) I guess I'll leave it up to Togekiss at that point. I don't know which to choose.
