"I never knew all of the things about me..."
"Well...just don't think about it too much..."
"You want me to forget about the past?"
"Well, yes. If it's that bad for you, then just forget it all."
Alex and Tracey have been sitting in the park bench for a while now. What he learned a few days ago was in his mind for a while now. Though he had nothing to mostly do in his life, his time has been wasted on these thoughts.
"I probably gave them Hell when I was young."
"No..." Tracey thinks for a second, "...well...maybe you did. But that doesn't mean anything."
"Whatever, I'll just do what you said earlier." Alex's phone vibrates. He answers, doesn't respond, and says, "Gotta go. See you later."
"Okay, I'll see you later."
Alex and Luke were standing in the kitchen: a medium-sized room with a low light on, in front of Luxray.
"Alex," started Luke, "it's time."
"Okay," said Alex. He's standing there after he talks.
"Not that yet. The other thing."
"Oh," Alex goes up the stairs, into Glaceon's room.
"What the hell are you doing in here?" said Glaceon.
"It's time," said Alex.
"Thank God!" exclaimed Glaceon. Alex ripped the jacket, with extreme force, letting Glaceon free to move.
"Forgot how it feels to move again."
"Yeah..." said Alex, "c'mon, Ray is feeling better."
"Already?"
"Yeah, let's go."
"He's finally out?"
"Yes...and I don't know why I'm here."
"Time to see how good he is now."
"Ah. Seems the perfect time to see how moving around changed when I was 'locked up.'"
"Whatever, let's just go." They all leave outside.
"Where are you going?" asked Absol, sitting under a tree in front of the house.
"To 'train'," said Glaceon, "wanna come?"
"You're out of the jacket."
"Yeah, I know," he responded, "wanna come?"
"Sure."
It was still sun-up, approximately noon. The trip took about 10 minutes from the house, didn't seem long or short.
"Fighting in front of the yard…," started Luke, "…wasn't the best idea. Someone almost called the cops on us. So we have moved here to, uh, 'spar,'" Luxray looks around the land: all sandy and the blue horizon…water…they were in the beach. He looked to the left and sees a dark cave…nothing can be seen inside.
"Don't go in the cave," said Luke, "that is Beach Cave. It is something known as, a 'Mystery Dungeon.'" He pauses and says, "Let's not get into it. Alright, Ray, stand over there." He pointed a few yards away from him. "All of you stand behind." The others stepped a few feet away from Luke.
"Now, this is the third lesson.
"One thing with one being outside is to fight, not for the hell of it…but for the safety and justice of others."
"You sure?" asks Luxray, "Me and safety don't mix very well…"
Luke thinks about it for a minute and says, "Well, it will when someone, or something, is in peril. Well after the 'fight' we were in, your moves were 'simple.' Now, it's time to excel those moves now." Luke seems to be in fighting position: folding his arms.
"Fighting you?" asks Luxray.
"Hell no," said Luke, unfolding his arms, "fighting him." He pointed at Alex.
"Wait, me?" asked Alex.
"Yes you. Get over here." Alex walked over beside to Luke. He pointed over to Luxray's direction and Alex looks. Luke walks away to the crowd looking at them both.
"You can't be serious," yelled Luxray, "he's just a kid!"
"It doesn't matter if he's a kid or not," started Luke, "besides, he's 'special' unlike the other humans that were rumored to have no powers."
"Okay…" said Luxray. He gets ready to fight a kid that he favors not to do.
"I'll try not to bring it up, okay?" said Alex.
"How can I trust you?" Alex takes out the silver gun and throws it at the crowd; they evade the gun with surprise.
"You have a gun!?" exclaimed Absol.
"Yeah," responded Alex, "I don't want to get into detail right now." Absol stares at the gun for a while, thinking why he has one. She lowers down, seeing that it is loaded. Did it have any ammo in it? Is it empty or not? And again, why did he have it?
"By the way," started Luke, "I don't ever recall teaching him how to fight. Have we?" He turned to Glaceon who shook his head.
"Okay," Luxray gets ready to fight. "And when do we start?"
"In a second," said Luke. He turns to Absol, "You seem surprised about that gun."
"And you're not!?" exclaims Absol, "He's in possession of a firearm! He could be in jail for this, and for being that young? Why?"
"I don't know, Abbie—"
"Don't call me that!"
"Okay, well I don't know— Begin!"
Alex rushes up with extreme speed, nothing to be seen from where he started to where he ended. He punched Luxray the second Luke yelled 'Begin!' Luxray didn't notice until he gets hit. Everything happened too fast. Holy shit, thought Luxray. Alex moved back to his starting place, and has his hand, the one not in a cast, in a holding-sphere position. His hand starts to glow something green, a small sphere was made.
He was still in sphere position, and Luxray made a run for it. Not as fast as Alex, but fast. Electricity runs through his body, more electric energy the longer he runs. Alex's green sphere was complete: not as big as one would've thought. Luxray gets too close for him to release sphere, so he saves his sphere, dissolving in his arm. He jumps to the side to avoid his Volt Tackle, but still gets hit in his leg.
He recovers the fall, but gets slightly paralyzed. Luxray suffers recoil damage to just barely hit Alex's leg. Shit, I should've not done that thought Luxray. He lets low for a while to slightly recover, the same with Alex.
Alex rose slowly, moving his paralyzed leg for a minute and starts running toward Luxray.
Luxray struggled to run away, running faster and having his pain taken away. Alex stopped and aimed at Luxray, still running, with his arm. His hand was in form of a sphere, the aura sphere about to be released. He moved his arm a little in front of his direction and releases his sphere; only nothing comes out, more like a forceful green gas. He could tell it wasn't a malfunction, because the sand in front of him was eroded; now there was a hole in the sand.
He decided to make another sphere again. Luxray finds this as the right time. He runs faster than usual, wind is visible behind him. He runs toward Alex charging his sphere. He didn't have enough time to guard; he gets hit and flies backwards. He recovers his fall when he comes back to land. His sphere probably dissolved when he got hit with the Quick Attack. He tries to bring it back, while Luxray tries to strike with Quick Attack again. His sphere is complete, but doesn't release it; he waits when he comes close. The second before Luxray strikes, he dodges with Extreme Speed, saving his sphere. He runs toward Luxray, and releases his 'shotgun.' Luxray doesn't fly away, but does get hit.
"Damn it!" yelled Luxray, "That fucking hurt!"
"That's perfect then," said Alex, "You're fighting a somewhat handicapped guy. You should be good at this." He tries to get aura with his arm with the cast. His cast covers his lower part of the arm, from the shoulder, so he can move around his arm. The aura he collects is not as great as his other arm, but there's aura. He jumps away, and releases his aura. A large green ray comes out of his cast, as if it was cannon. Luxray barely dodges the cannon; a hole in the sand, all dark in the crater.
"Holy shit," said Luxray. "Fuck this." He looks up; a group of ominous clouds fill the arena. Bright lightning, a possibility of those bolts being blue, strikes down toward Alex. He's yelling at the shock, everyone there almost saw his skeleton.
"Is that his…?" asked Absol.
"Probably," answered Glaceon.
After a while, the lightning stops striking on Alex. He falls down, burnt but alive. He can barely get up, struggles to stay up. He struggles to walk toward Luxray. Luxray thinks he went too far (he probably did), until Alex uses Extreme Speed. He seems to have slightly jumped; he keeps punching Luxray continuously, in midair, and then kicks him, launching him far. Alex, after landing, still struggled to stand. "Tag," he says. Glaceon comes over beside Alex. Alex leaves from the field, charred up and almost knocked out.
"God damn," said Luke, "what the hell happened to you?" Alex just stares at Luke, and grabs his gun. Absol stares at him.
"I don't want to talk right now," Alex says. She stops staring at him.
"Okay," started Glaceon, "let's get this over with." Luxray uses Thunder again, Glaceon using Quick Attack to dodge all bolts. He strikes Luxray, no damage to Glaceon, but to Luxray. Luxray's fangs gets electric and tries to bite Glaceon. Glaceon jumps on the first attempt, dodges on the second attempt, but gets bitten in the third. He can barely move…"…but I don't need movement," says Glaceon. He looks at Luxray, opens his mouth, his eyes glowing, and a purple beam came out.
Luxray gets easily hit, and gets frozen. The Ice Beam was strong against Luxray, but not super effective.
What happened next happened very quickly. He soared through the ice, making Luxray unfrozen, and U-turns back to Luxray hitting him. Luxray counter's the attack with a Crunch to the land and Glaceon strikes upward with Quick Attack. When he comes back down, he uses Blizzard to freeze him again, and Quick Attack to break the ice. The second the ice breaks, a thunderbolt was struck upon Glaceon. He was sent flying upward; Luxray then used Quick Attack to jump up, use Bite on Glaceon, and throw him down on land.
"Enough," yelled Luke, "that's enough for now. I don't want you to kill yourselves. Let's go back home."
Back at the house…
"Alright," started Luke, "your moves are getting better."
"Thanks," Luxray responded, "I think…"
"Next lesson, I'm taking you to a 'Mystery Dungeon.'"
"Yeah," said Alex, suddenly all healed up, free from any casts, "At least you're lucky to go to one of these 'Dungeons.'"
"H-how are you…all healed up?" asked Luxray.
"Max Potion," said Alex, taking one out, "use it to recover your energy, but not statuses."
"How did you manage to get these?"
"'Got a few from a friend. That's all you need to know." Alex walked away from the living room. "I'm goin' out. See you later."
"Whatever," responded Glaceon, watching TV.
"What does he do when he gets out?" asked Luxray.
"I don't know. Why should I care?" said Luke, "I'm not in his life or anything. I could care less."
"Okay…" said Luxray, "Well I'm heading out. See ya later."
"Later," said Glaceon. Luxray leaves the house and turns west, for only one reason: the bar.
