"You awake yet?"
The kid was holding a can, not sure what it was. Luxray was getting up, his vision getting clearer, seeing the kid. He gets up slowly, finding it was Alex.
"You hit me with something, didn't you?" Luxray asked.
"Yeah, but I don't think it was necessary for that," Alex answered, "Baseball bat." Luxray tried to strike, but Alex blocked it with his hand, feeling no pain. "Don't, you can worry about that later," Alex says. Luxray eases and looks around.
"Why are we here?" Luxray asked. They are at the park.
"Because you stay inside too long and, believe it or not, I hate this place too," Alex said. He takes a sip of the drink he had and crushes the can. He walked away, throws the can away, and comes back.
"Uh..."Luxray started, "how deep is that scar?"
"What scar?" Alex asked.
"The one in your wrist, er, arm, or something."
"Oh, that scar. Uh..."Alex says. He looks at his scar, checking it out as if it is the first time seeing it, "Uh...deep enough to barely get the other side of the bone."
"Whoa," Luxray said, "and you got it from Glaceon?"
"Yeah," Alex answered, "I asked him 'What would you do if I told anyone else?' and he somewhat scratched me, once actually, deep enough to uh...something. He actually didn't say anything, just that, to me, and only me, which kinda sucked. I couldn't move my arm; went to the hospital, got a cast in my right arm, got mad at people for making fun of me, and that's how I can do this now," Something green and blue is floating in his hand, more like a ball.
"The hell's that?" Luxray asked.
"It's more like an Aura Sphere," Alex answered. "When this first appeared in my hand, I was in more pain. So when my cast was taken off, I got a different cast, in my left arm. I tried to make the aura appear again in my right arm, and it hurt like hell. I got the cast on my right arm again after they took my cast out of left arm. Now the pain is now numb from aura moves." He later released the aura.
"Wow," Luxray commented. The both were looking around to see what's happening around them.
"So, Luxray..." Alex started.
"Ray," Luxray said.
"Ray... Have you ever used your moves on anything?" Alex said.
"Bar fights," Luxray answered.
"Okay...anywhere else?"
"No, just bar fights."
"Okay..." Alex just looks around, "try using it for the good."
"No...I'm not into to those kinda things," Ray said.
"You should be, sooner or later, you're gonna be one of the enemies," Alex said, "You should know that Absol won't like it if you did do that."
"I don't like Absol."
"Por favor, Ray, you can't hide it, we all know, maybe." Alex said, smiling. Ray looked down, thinking of something. "Anyway, Lucario could help with that."
"What makes you say that?" Ray asked. He notices that one of his hands was in his pockets. Alex takes out his hand, taking out something. Ray gets surprised for seeing what Alex was holding.
"I have a limit for moves," Alex says, scratching with the item he's holding: a silver pistol. "I can teach you, but it'll be too risky. Easy to say that my combos and moves involve this Destovei I'm holding right now, filled or empty." He puts the gun back into his pocket.
After a while, Ray spoke out. "So who was Glaceon's, uh..."
"Girlfriend?" Alex finished. "It was Leafeon, people knew her as 'Leaf'. She's nice, kind-hearted, and something else, 'kinda forgot. Seemed perfect for Glaceon, mainly because she was like the 'Yang' of 'Yin Yang.' Things went good for a while, 'til Glaceon got a little protective. It seemed like that Leaf was Glaceon's 'bitch'. Leaf didn't find out that Glaceon was being 'protective' until the end. She doesn't talk to him, but she talks to us; Glaceon never found that out."
"Are you sure?"
Alex took out his phone, checking his contacts. "Yeah, I got her in my contacts…" A picture of Leafeon, and number. "…and I got her in my contacts or friends in other things." He puts the phone back in his pocket. "Half of the time, she asks how Glaceon's doing. Not sure if she wants to go out with Glaceon again. I think she should, cause, you know, the Yin Yang thing." Luxray nodded, still looking around.
"This place sucks. There's nothing to do," Luxray said, breaking the silence.
"I know, that's why I hate this place," Alex responded, "but it's part of the program: getting bored in a peaceful place and start chatting or flirting with the person beside you, if you know them." He sees a fight, a violent one, Luxray sees it too.
"Do we do something, or what?" Luxray asked.
"No, we wait," Alex responded, "unless no one does anything about it." The one in the left seemed to be the bad one, since he started the fight. The one in the right makes a powerful attack, Hyper Beam, after shoving him down. He gets knocked out, and has people smaller than him drag him out of the scene. "One thing you need to learn Lu- RAY, ahem, Ray, never be in the middle of a fight until the time is right or someone else interrupts the fight. Besides, it's too risky using this gun."
"Exactly, how old are you?" Luxray asked.
"Uh...14, about to be 15," Alex answered, "Why do you ask?"
"Aren't you too young to have a gun?"
"Yeah, but I got it illegally, don't ask, so I don't need a license. But I got one anyway."
Luxray looked around again, nothing going on. He sat down, not knowing what to do next. Alex was still standing, beside Luxray. It seemed like Alex owned Luxray. Time was killed too little, time went too slow.
"This not going anywhere, any further. Let's go," Alex said, "We are going back to see Lucario."
"I don't know where it is," Luxray said.
"But I do, I live there; we're roommates. Except for Absol." Luxray let out a chuckle, and then Alex said this, "I'll whack you again if you think that."
"Okay," Luxray said, "So where is it?"
"Few blocks down the road, a little more detail than that. At least I don't have to whack you again for no reason. Besides, you'll need to know where we live, to find out where you live.
He'll probably get to the next lesson today for ending this one too early or tomorrow for 'technical' reasons. C'mon, let's go." Alex walked on, while Luxray was busy getting up. Luxray catches up and asks, "So, when did you learn Spanish?"
"Speaking Spanish... Eh, it runs in the family. Easier to learn than English." They both walked toward the road, Alex later taking out his cell phone. He calls someone and says, "Yo, Luke, it's me, Alex... Returning to the compound... I dunno, whenever you feel like. It just has to be either today or tomorrow...okay...okay...okay, see ya." He hangs up the phone, and puts it back into his pocket. "Catch up, try not to fall back behind."
