He sat on the bench, looking at his scar. The color was very dark, almost black. He keeps staring at the scar, wondering if he'll have another one from someone else.

Tracey comes to Alex, "Hey Alex."

He doesn't respond, instead asks, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"What?" Tracey asked, confused.

"Why didn't you tell me that Luke was your uncle?"

"That Luke was my…" she thinks about it for a minute, Alex still staring at his scar. She thinks some more, then says, "Oh. Well, I didn't know that you knew about him."

"Well, sorry," said Alex, "I don't know if he's gonna get me or not."

"Since you asked," started Tracey, "isn't he your…parent?"

"Guardian."

"Then how…?"

"I was an abandoned child."

"Sorry to hear that, Alex."

"It's alright."

"Well, can't he not get you for being his guardian?" asked Tracey.

"Hell, I don't know anymore…I just hope he doesn't try to kill me," answered Alex.

"Let's just hope he doesn't try to kill you," said Tracey. She gets close to him

"Yeah, let's just hope that." Alex was still staring at his scar, Tracey getting closer to him. She hugs him, Alex losing his thought, getting distracted by the hug. He gets a little blushed, not caring what else is happening around him. He sees other Pokémon staring at him or passing by, but he doesn't care. He wishes that this moment will never end and makes this moment feel like it will be the last.

"Hey."

"Hey, what's up?"

"Hey, I need you to check up on Tracey."

"Uh…can you tell me why?"

"Apparently my 'child' is going out with Tracey; I don't want this to go on any longer."

"Child? When did you get laid?"

[Pauses] "…Never, nor got married…yet."

"Then how did you…?"

"He's an abandoned human-"

"Human, eh?"

"Yeah…human…"

"That's just sick, man."

"Yeah, I know. That's why I don't want this to go any further."

"Okay…and why did you take care of an abandoned human? Was he a little kid at the time?"

"Yes, and I don't know, I, actually Glaceon and I, we just took care of him."

"That is also sick…"

"Whatever…just check out on Tracey, ok?"

"Yeah, sure."

"See ya, Floyd."

"Ciao."

The next day…at Glaceon's house…

At the house, Glaceon was sitting next to Luxray under a tree. The two were chatting about things.

"What do you know about it?" asked Luxray.

"Nothing, really," answered Glaceon, "All I heard was stuff after he came out."

"Okay…" There's silence later on…Luxray breaks the silence.

"Are you sure you don't know anything about it?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm sure," Glaceon answered.

"Okay, just checking…" Silence came back in the atmosphere. The two looks around the neighborhood, seeing what's going on. He breaks the silence again.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure! Now stop asking…God…" Glaceon stressed out. He didn't seem too happy, to what Luxray sees. Silence came back to them, longer than the previous times silence came to them. Luxray, once again, breaks the silence.

"I know what they were arguing about…" said Luxray.

"You do?" asked Glaceon. He turns to him, getting suspicious.

"Yeah…" said Luxray, getting his attention. He seems to be eager to what he has to say.

"What were they arguing about?" asked Glaceon.

"Apparently, Alex is going out with Luke's cousin," Luxray said.

"Really?" asked Glaceon. Luxray nodded.

"This possibly got into Luke's nerves. Not sure if he's gonna kill him anytime soon."

"Even if he killed him…" Glaceon started. Luxray turned to Glaceon. "…That wouldn't be enough to take out the anger out of him. He might go after us to take out the remainder of the anger." Luxray thought about it for a minute. "Eh, who knows? He might not kill him, but to restrain it and not release it on him."

"But he's going out with his cousin," Luxray argued.

"True-"

"And isn't Alex, like, related to you?"

"No, he was just an abandoned child, no relation to me or him. No relation to anyone we know; he's human, we're not. There's no way that he'll be part of us, even if we go back in time just to check out the family tree."

Luxray paused for a minute, then said, "A little too much there…but okay…"

A few minutes went by and Alex comes from a route. He's been out a lot from some time ago; the rumors that Luxray told may be true and this may be evidence to make it hold truth.

"Hey," said Alex.

"Hey," both Glaceon and Luxray answered back. Alex sat down with them; neither Glaceon nor Luxray stare at him.

"What's goin' on?" asked Alex.

"Nothing much," answered Luxray.

"Okay…" Alex looks around for a minute. Luxray didn't want to spill it out now…not yet.

"You?" asked Luxray.

"Nothing either." Probably not thought Luxray Fuck it.

"Seems like you've been going outside a lot more than you usually are…" said Luxray. Glaceon looks at Luxray, he looking back.

"Yeah…"started Alex, "when did you notice that?"

"Some time ago…"answered Luxray, "what's been goin' on here?"

"Nothing," answered Alex. Silence came back, Alex seeing it for the first time.

"I head stuff's been goin' on with something that has something to do with you…" Luxray said, sort of smiling. Glaceon looks at him again, hoping that he'll shut up.

"You just saying that because of what happened a little while ago?" asked Alex.

"No. I heard that you've been going out with Luke's cousin…" Glaceon looked pissed, probably hoping that he would shut up before he fucks things up.

"Who told you that?" asked Alex.

"No one… I was eavesdropping someone…"

"Was it Luke?"

"No it wasn't Luke."

"Then who was it?" There was silence; he almost took out his gun, "Who was it?"

Luxray gets frightened, "Okay, I think it was Luke! I'm not sure if he was on the phone, but he was talking to someone."

He lets go of the gun, "Dammit, he's telling it to everyone…"

"Who ever said he Luke was telling it to everyone?" asked Luxray.

"You said he might be one the phone right?" asked Alex.

"Yeah, why?" Alex just stared at Luxray, "Oh."

"I'm goin' out," he said, getting up.

"Where you goin'?" asked Glaceon.

"Out," he answered, "And I don't want to talk anymore." He leaves in silence.

"I should go too…" said Luxray.

"To where?" Glaceon asked.

"Why should you want to know?" Luxray asked. He left before Glaceon could say anything.

He's left alone under the tree, alone like when he still had the straitjacket on. He doesn't have the jacket on anymore, he can go anywhere now…but where?

He had a good idea to where he could be going. He leaves from the tree to someone he hasn't seen in at least 2 months.
