I DON'T OWN ANYTHING

Touya's pov

" We need to talk, " Bianca said, " about what ?" I asked, " though there are many things you need to explain, but first of all... about the crimes you committed, let's talk about -" " that can wait, " she replied in monotonous tone, "and if I said no then ?" She stared at me for about two minutes and then put her hand inside her pocket and sent her pokemon.

" So, you want to fight ?" I asked, " team plasma doesn't believe in hurting pokemons, " she replied, ' huh ?' it clicked me a little late about what she meant, " emboar, fire blast, " emboar charged behind me, towards professor juniper. But before it could reach her carracosta used protect to dodge the attack, " th- thank you..." professor juniper mumbled, I turned to bianca, "what was that for !" I yelled, " are you out of your mind !" she looked at me then at carracosta, " I was just trying to clear the hurdle, " she replied.

' What ? ' " carracosta, use hydro pump, " he attacked, " dodge, emboar, use flamethrower, " " carracosta, protect, " " arm thrust, " she ordered, " heh, don't you think it is a wrong move ?" she brought out a small remote and pressed the single button on it.

Suddenly emboar was covered in a green light and he screamed in agony and looked up, and when he looked at us he had that look, the look which said that he didn't want to just defeat carracosta but to kill him. He charged forward to attack, " carracosta, use hydro pump, " I thought that it will hit emboar but instead he dodged and landed directly in front of carracosta, ' oh no !' carracosta took direct hit but thankfully didn't got knocked out, " carra- huh?" before I could give him orders, emboar has already hit him with hammer arm.

' When did she gave orders ?' I looked at bianca, she was just standing there without any emotions, suddenly emboar stopped and struggled to hit him. I saw munna's eyes glowing, ' thank you, munna !' I got time to recall carracosta and my other pokemons, 'I can't fight her right now, ' I turned to her, " what is it that you want to talk about ?" I looked behind, " but I will listen only if you promise not to hurt professor juniper, " she called back her emboar and turned around, " then send her away, " she replied .

I turned to professor juniper and told her to return back to nimbasa city, she looked at bianca and got up to leave. Bianca turned back to look at me, " have you... started your search for light stone ?" she asked, " why should I tell you ?" " I am trying to make sure that you are going to battle our king, " she continued, " he already acquired necessary equipments, " she smirked, " only one is remaining, " she looked to the north and then pointed there, " she is there, right ?" she turned to me, " your sister, " my eyes widened.

" What do you mean ?" I asked, " what are you all planning to do ?" " you know that very well, why your sister, right ?" ' of course I do,' touko is a catalyst and if N has already acquired dark stone, 'then he only need' I gasped " what...?" my anger just grew further, " there is only one way to stop all of these, " she said, " what is it ?" I asked, she smiled and replied, " kill me " "huh ?"

" If you want N and team plasma to delay their operations, then kill me, because I am here to stall your time, I won't let you go back to the city to save your sister , so until and unless you defeat me and then kill me I won't let you go, " I stared her for a while, " I know there is a dagger in your bag, " she said, ' I know' there is a dagger for safety purposes or to cut tall grass if necessary.

" You don't have much time to, you know," she said, I grabbed pokeball of dewott but I was unable to pull it out, ' what happened touya ?' I thought, ' she is a criminal, not your friend, ' "you are wasting your time by not bringing out your pokemon, when I will get signal from the city then I will leave alive and your sister will be in our captivity, choose what you want, " ' she is either way going to end up in jail, ' I again tried to but my mind was going in the past again and again.

The time we three first met : " Hey, you are from city, right ? what is your name ?" two little kids of my age, living in that small nuvema town. The first to approach was bianca.

Whenever we all met in summers : "Touya, I heard you have a sister ! can I also play with her ? " she asked, " if it won't bother you can I also play with her ?" cheren added. Last year when we were preparing for this journey : "Next year we will surely be on a journey ! " she exclaimed like a kid, " touya, touko will come for sure ,right ?" she asked, there was that sparkle in her eyes which she can't hide whenever she is excited.

I looked in her eyes and asked, " this is not what you want, right ?" she tilt her head, " the sparkle in your eyes, that was there in your eyes... have gone, " I replied ' it isn't possible to protect them forever...' I remembered cheren's words, " whatever you want to say, I am doing my duty to lord ghetsis and lord N, " she said, "once the time is up, you won't be able to protect her, so, choose, " I looked down, suddenly I felt like I was not prepared, the timer felt like it was slowly passing by and so was my hatered.

' I don't want this ' I thought to myself, 'I want to punish her not to kill her, ' I looked back at her, ' she hurt touko, she committed many crimes... but, I am no one to decide her punishment, ' this is what my mind was thinking. " You are weak, " she said, " you know that what heinous crimes I have committed, you know what I did with your sister, but still you are choosing to let me live" I didn't had any answers, only silence.

About fifteen to twenty minutes passed by but still I didn't called out dewott or brought out the dagger to attack her, ' would touko like this ? would cheren like this ?' my thoughts shifted to those two, touko won't at all like it if I killed one of our friends to save her, so do cheren and if it was me then even I would feel the same. After about thirty minutes, bianca's walkie talkie rung, I wasn't able to hear anything she said but the thing that she said before leaving, "you failed terribly as a brother..." and left. I was just standing there, feeling numb, both physically and emotionally.
