—-Katarina's Point of view—-

I was sleeping peacefully, having a dream about avoiding my doom and living out a peaceful exile with a cat that looked like Onion when suddenly, I heard the sky say "Mphrady"

'Odd' I thought and continued to pet the strange cat, then the world started to shake and the sky was louder and clearer saying "Vlady Katorina! Ake up!"… 'Wake up?'

And immediately upon realising this, I found myself being lightly shaken by Anne as she kept asking me to finally wake up.

Once Anne noticed that I was up she immediately told me "Lady Katarina, today's breakfast is uniquely important and I ask for your further cooperation"

"Oh don't worry Anne, It's fine I can get dressed myself" for some reason, saying this had caught Anne off gaurd but she immediately regained her monotone expression and told me "That is a command that I must refrain from following through, due to your father's distain for the result"

I was somewhat overwhelmed by all the words so I just said "okay" and let her dress me, It was extra fancy today and I was starting to question what the occasion was.

When I entered the dining hall, I soon found out why 'Doom Flag!'

Katarina's Doom Avoidance Council. Meeting #3

Chairman Katarina had decided to start off the meeting saying "Keith has arrived, which is our new Doom Flag, what do we do?"

"I think we all know what's best" said Fearless Katarina.

Happy Katarina immediately attempted to shut down the idea saying "But we can't! Its too mean"

But Fearless continued saying "Put Keith in a box under a bridge"

The entire Katarina council then expressed distain for the idea with tons of 'No's and after a while Fearless Katarina caved and said "I don't wanna either" and started crying in Fearful arms .

Smart Katarina decided to turn towards Lore Katarina and ask "Could you tell us what you know about this world's Keith"

Lore Katarina cleared her throat and declared "Keith's background seems the same though he seems to own a really powerful Pokémon, I don't know what it is since our brother only referred to it as 'The Rubber Chicken' because it was unusable during the story and he was annoyed, and eventually Keith gives it to the royal Family and at some point he eventually owns a Melmetal after he falls inlove with Maria"

Fearful Katarina, still having Fearless in her arms, asks to no one in particular "Isn't Melmetal a Mythical?"

Competitive Katarina decides to answer Fearful's question saying "Yup a 600 bst monster, the only steel types with a higher bst are Solgaleo and Dialga"

Smart Katarina decides to try and calm everyone down by recommending "Why don't we just smother Keith with love? Since Keith's Backstory seems similar then he must fall in love with Maria in a similar way and so if we stop Keith from being desperate for real love, maybe he won't go to Maria or at the very least Keith won't hate us enough to kill us"

Fearless Katarina then spoke up "And how about we get info on Keith's mysterious Pokémon so we could defend against it incase he does attack"

Happy Katarina decided to chime in, saying "Why don't we also make sure he knows that we accept any romantic relationship even with a commoner like Maria"

Chairman Katarina then declares "Katarina shall drown Keith in love while learning everything about his Pokémon to defend against him just incase. All opposed!"

And none raised their hand then the Chairman said "All in favor" the entire council raised their hand and so Chairman Katarina slammed her gavel and said "I declare this meeting adjourned"

—-Katarina's Point of view—-

Turns out while I was thinking, Luigi had gotten up and tried to introduce me to Keith and was now waiting for me to shake Keith's hand, Luckily my spacing out didn't take too long and so I was able to grab his hand without looking odd (I hope).

For some reason it looked as if mother was glaring at Luigi and Keith, but I didn't think too hard about it.

After a very tense dinner where mother spent most of the time glaring at Luigi, I decided to stop Keith while he was leaving and told him "Keith, let me give you tour"

I decided to start the tour with the outside and showed him my favorite area.

I started with the really sunny part that had a small sign with a hole in it and a box under it "This is where I train and here is the sign box. If the rock in the sign's hole is red then that means I'm training and if it's green then it means I'm are taking a break" I explained and just Keith nodded.

"And this is my special stump I like to practice my sword skills on it." Keith just looked at me with astonishment and said "I've never used a sword before"

"I could teach you if you want, but I warn you I am very tough" and Keith had responded saying "Okay"

I decided to grab Keith's hand to pull him over so he could see my favourite tree. Keith suddenly seemed nervous for some reason and said "Lady Claes" but I stopped him saying "Call me big sister, I've always wanted to be called that"

Keith might not be good with heat since his skin is starting to look reddish and his palms are getting more sweaty but he did say "Ok, big sister" so he's probably fine.

"This is the biggest tree I could find and my favorite for climbing, do you know how to climb a tree?" I asked and Keith just shook his head "Okay I'll show ya"

And so I proceeded to start climbing it, unfortunately I got carried away and accidentally miscalculated a piece of bark's sturdiness and hence it broke off and I promptly fell, luckily Keith had somehow managed to dodge me nonetheless I profusely apologised "I am so sorry Keith I almost killed you with my butt"

Keith tried to reassure me that it was fine and said "It's okay, 'accidents are inevitable in life', that's what my mom always told me"

"So you're fine?" I asked, and Keith nodded.

Seeing this, instinctively started to smile and for some reason Keith's heat intolerance had flared up as his face started to go red.

I was starting to get worried about Keith's heat sensitivity and so I told him "Why don't we go inside since it's pretty hot outside" and Keith nodded.

While inside, Keith and I were found by Anne who turned to and told Keith "Lord Keith, It is time for your daily training"

I was curious of this since Keith had told me, he never held a sword and so decided to ask Anne "What training is Keith doing?"

Anne sighed told Katarina "Keith is undergoing training to control his Pokémon, your father had alerted this to you in the morning"

'So that's what he was talking about' I thought and it looks like I was obvious as Anne said "Lady Katarina, did you by chance not pay attention"

Fearing for a scolding about not focusing, I quickly said "oh look It's time for Onion's daily training aswell bye!" and rushed out of the room and to my favourite area outside.

I did actually do a little sword training and helped practice some moves with Onion and by the time me and Onion got bored, it was now sunset and so I decided to take a walk with her before going inside, after all Onion didn't have her own tour.

Eventually my mini tour for Onion had reached a random area on the estate and so I decided to drop Onion from my arms and lay down with Onion on top of my belly and we looked at the starry night sky.

'Mother is likely annoyed about how long I've out, I should get inside soon' so after a few minutes of admiring the stars and petting Onion, I got up.

While sitting up I noticed Keith, he was looking at some sleeping Pidgeys and Rookidees with a Hoothoot in his arms that he was petting.

I picked up Onion in my arms and decided to try and sneak up on Keith so I wouldn't scare the Hoothoot, unfortunately the Hoothoot noticed me and flew away.

Keith, noticing the Hoothoot's sudden fleeing, turned around and upon seeing me, said "Hello big sister"

"Hey Keith, sorry 'bout the Hoothoot, guess my villianess face scared it off" I said.

Keith started to frown but didn't say anything, 'I guess he was more upset about the Hoothoot than I thought', and so I decided to change the subject.

"Keith, Anne mentioned something about you training your Pokémon, can I see it?"

Keith immediately looked nervous and partially afraid however, I still wanted to see this mysterious Pokémon and so continued to plea with Keith and eventually he relented 'Keith's Pokémon can't be that dangerous even if he needs training, after all who would give up a powerful Pokémon once they control it?'

Keith grabbed his Pokéball and threw it as far as possible, A burst of white with light blue accents had appeared and suddenly I saw it.

The beast I saw was no 'Rubber Chicken' it was an intimidating bird, divine status could be given in a heart beat and I was ready to declare it as I heard its fearsome cry, that was nothing like the games of Pokémon Gold or the remake, HeartGold, the Yellow and White Ho Oh I was seeing nothing like anything I had imagined.

I instantly wanted to touch it or to get a closer view of the Ho Oh and so I put Onion down and ran towards it in a burst of excitement. I couldn't properly understand what Keith was saying and the Ho Oh was getting more and more bright 'probably because I'm getting closer'

Then I soon found out why the Ho Oh was getting brighter as a bolt of electricity charged towards me and made contact.

When I woke up I was greeted by Onion who was on my stomach and Luigi.

Luigi turned to me and said "Katarina are you okay?"

When I nodded and Luigi had left a sigh of relief and continued to speak "I suppose I should've explained Keith's Pokémon better this morning. You see Katarina, Keith has psychic abilities that allows for him to talk to flying type Pokémon, like his Ho Oh, but Keith's Ho Oh is very disobedient and tends to be aggressive to those around it and occasionally this includes Keith if he tries to stop Ho Oh and this resulted in an incident involving his brothers who got severe burns when Ho Oh got mad at them, hence I asked for Keith to never release Ho Oh unless he's inside his special facility however I don't understand why he would do so without permis-"

'Keith most likely got punished because he sent out Ho Oh even though' and fearing for that I immediately cut off Luigi and said "It's my fault! I'm the one who asked for Keith to send Ho Oh out!"

Luigi tried to calm me down by saying "Well Keith still holds responsibility over Ho Oh and so he accepted responsibility and was promptly punished"

However It only made me realise something 'If Keith was attempting to punish himself then where is he?' And so I worrily asked Luigi "Where is Keith?" And Luigi said "Inside his room, he said he wanted time alone"

That was the last straw, I immediately rushed out of the bed with Onion in my arms and started running, even with my body aching from the after effects of the electricity I still ran towards Keith's room 'No, no, no, no. This is just like the original story, Keith's all alone'

Eventually I reached Keith's door however it was locked and so I tried to convince Keith to open the door saying "Keith! It's not your fault, It's mine so please open the door!"

But Keith ignored me and didn't open the door, hence this drastic time called for drastic measures and so I grabbed an axe-like weapon from a display suit of armor and told Onion "start using Tackle on the door when I hit the door"

The I turned towards the door and shouted "Keith! If you are near the door, MOVE!" and after giving Keith a minute to move I started to hacking at the door with Onion chipping in with her Tackles.

With the efforts of me and Onion we eventually destroyed the door and I immediately went into a Dogeza position, with Onion also attempting to do it aswell, told Keith "I'm sorry for forcing you to use Ho Oh! I'll do anything! Just please don't shut me out!"

Keith looked stunned and asked me "Can you answer my question?" Hearing this, I looked up and nodded and so Keith continued and asked with tears starting to form "Katarina, do you think I'm incompetent or an Idiot or a Monster o-or" at this point Keith had started to crying but continued asking "-evil or vile, a demonic child corrupting a heavenly beast or that I don't-"

I decided that I had enough of hearing such nonsense and so interrupted Keith by wrapping him in a hug and told him "Keith Claes, you aren't incompetent nor an idiot, you're not evil nor demonic or a corrupting monster. Keith Claes is my brother, my friend and a fantastic Pokémon trainer and person"

I then moved my head so I could look Keith in the eyes and tell him "'Accidents are inevitable in life', what happened with your brothers and what happened to me was an accident so just get better at fixing them. Okay?" and gave him my best smile possible.

Keith opened his mouth but before he could speak, I got yanked by my collar and was now face to face with a very angry looking mother, I looked over to Keith and Onion and I told Onion "Stay with Keith" before mother had taken me out of the room.

While walking, mother had said nothing and I didn't have the heart to try and negotiate with such an angry face.

Eventually we entered mother's study, I was sat down and mother went into her own seat in front of me and I braced myself for the inevitable scolding I was about to experience.

Mother had opened her mouth and said "Congratulations for surviving the assassination attempt, the nerve of your father and that bastard to do such a thing while I was gone, although your revenge plan with the axe was a bit dramatic, no? and honestly, Katarina did you have to break the door down, that was custom made and now we'll have to get that remade or fixed, we may be wealthy but we don't have to damage valuable property willy-nilly and Keith will need new living quarters aswell, such a headache that illegitimate child is"

I was getting annoyed by mother's insults towards Keith, and I thought 'an "illegitimate child"? Keith's not…' then I remembered 'Oh wait mother must think that Luigi betrayed her and Keith's the result'

And so, realising this I immediately attempted to defend my little brother and told mother "Keith wasn't trying to assasinate me, he was just following my wishes and Ho Oh was out of his control and also I wasn't trying to get revenge, I was trying to apologize to Keith but he locked himself in his room"

Mother however ignored my explanation and just said "Oh Katarina, you're too naive and trusting, you must try and realise that assassination is more common than belive and that your 'brother' is manipulating you to get more opportunities."

I tried, again, to defend Keith however mother had interrupted me and said "and as for your explanation on Keith following your wishes, If Keith really cared for your wellbeing, why did he would he send out Ho Oh while knowing how unstable the Pokémon is? Also how exactly did you get that extra mark on your back, an electric shock didn't do that"

'Mark?' Curious I asked "Mother, could I get a mirror?" and mother showed me to one in her study.

I took off my shirt and looked into the mirror, there was a medium to large bruise on my back that was somewhat reddish probably because it was new, I tried to remember what exactly I did today and when it clicked and so I accidentally shouted "When I fell from the tree, that's why I have that bruise" 'just like my old life's many scars and bruises from all the tree climbing fails, I wasn't a master in a day after all'

Hearing this had slightly shocked mother, then it made her mad "Katarina! Are you tellling me that you were climbing a tree!"

In an attempt to distract mother from my tree climbing, I decided to try and shift the subject back to Keith saying "Hey Mother, did you know Keith was adopted and not a love-child?"

But mother only half took the bait, saying "Katarina! don't try to change the subject by lying!"

After a wicked scolding, I thought about how mother believed Keith was adopted, but it was too late for any plans to go into action.

I went to Keith's room to go grab Onion and asked Keith "oh yah. Keith, would you like to sleep in my room tonight since it'll be cold without a door" Keith just shook his head 'I guess he is fine since his face is starting to redden' and I left.

It was now the next day, I was with Keith as he was playing chess with me, I was distracted because I was planning on how to convince mother that Keith wasn't a love-child.

Keith probably noticed this and so asked me "what's wrong sister?"

I decided that Keith should know about the plan aswell considering it involves him and so told Keith "Mother thinks you're father's biological son and I'm trying to convince her you're not before she does something mean"

Keith got visibly nervous and so I told him "Don't worry I'll handle it" but Keith suddenly got a determined look in his eyes and told me "I wanna help big sister"

But before me and Keith could start brainstorming, Anne went over to me and Keith and told us "Keith, it is time for your Pokémon training"

'Wait a minute, If Keith's training room has measures to keep everyone inside and is locked off then that means no one can go in or out, If I can get mother and Luigi to go into the room then they'll eventually talk about Keith, then the whole misunderstanding can be resolved' and so I asked Anne "Anne, can I go to Keith's training room?"

Anne told me "Lady Katarina, although I realise you'll miss Lord Keith, It's very dangerous to be inside his facility while his Pokémon is out as you realised from last night, they can be dangerous"

But I just told Anne "Don't worry Anne I'll leave once Keith's Pokémon has been released, Promise"

Anne just said "Okay Lady Katarina"

I decided to ask Anne "By the the way, Anne, could you tell mother to go to Keith's training room" Anne just sighed again and nodded before leaving then I turned to Keith and told him "Keith, could you tell father to enter the your training room" and he happily nodded and left while I went to Keith's training room.

Mother had entered the training room alongside Anne and I decided to ask Anne "Thank you Anne, but could you wait outside, It might get personal" and she nodded and went outside.

Mother had immediately started to ask "Why did you summon me here Katarina?" But before I had to answer that question, Luigi had entered the room and funnily enough asked something similar saying "Katarina, why did you summon me here"

I decided that dramatics were needed to make them actually talk hence I told them "Mother doesn't trust father and thinks that he cheated because he doesn't love her, father doesn't know that mother loves him back and that mother thinks that Keith is father's lovechild"

I turned away and added some water to my eyes for the effect of crying before turning back and continuing "Why can't you just talk"

Then I rushed out the room and told Anne to lock the doors, which she did in her surprise and when she realized my parents were still inside, she had asked "Lady Katarina, why did you just command me to trap your parents inside Keith's training facility" and I only told her "They'll eventually talk about Keith and this whole misunderstanding will be solved"

I then turned to Keith and asked him "Hey Keith, wanna learn some swordsmanship from me" Keith nodded in agreement and so we left towards the sword practice area.

I also decided to ask a nearby maid (not Anne) to open Keith's training room after 35 minutes.

—-Geordo's Point of view—-

The news that I had received from my servant was astonishing, during the two days back from her trip, my fiancée managed to fall out of a tree, break down a door and locked her parents inside a room.

Though more concerningly, it seems that Katarina had also nearly been murdered by her brother's Pokémon.

Nonetheless, I should pay a visit to this fiancée of mine since it'll be interesting to hear about these dramatic escapades from its cause.

I can't help but muse over the fact that, this might just be the most amusing news about any noble I've ever heard.

Perhaps I've judged Katarina's character too soon, if she can be this exciting in only two days, maybe this engagement will be more interesting or dare I say fun than I first predicted, though this could be just an irregular occurrence, I suppose only time will tell.
