About me...

 

Hello everyone. I'm new here, but, i didn't made any introductions... ( THAT'S BAD, OH MY GOD, WHY DIDN'T YOU MADE A POST "HI" ! YOU ARE TOO MYSTERIOUS RIGHT NOW. DO IT NOW. COME ON. ).

I play pokémmo since 2 days, wasn't sure if i stay on it or not... Sorry, i didn't made my introduction, my name is Jeremy, i'm a frenchie, i'm 22 years old. I'm not very good at english, but hey, everything isn't perfect. I like pokémon since its on gameboy, from gen 1 to 3 only, didn't tried ds versions, and won't ever do it, i don't really like the nintendo ds, even if i have one.

 

The reasons that push me to create a story was because i like writing, simple as that, and pokémon in general can have both good/bad sides, it is what it pushes me more to do one.

 

--------------------

 

Before you read, the main theme on this story is gonna be [Adventure].

But you can also find some [Action] with some [Fantasy]and don't forget that some parts are just gonna be some [Slice of Life].

Thank you, have a nice time !

Raprelle

 

Chapter 1 : It was all good... But everything went wrong.

 

 

 

Monday, 12th september. 4:43 P.M.

 

<< Mom ? Did you find my shoes ?

- Yes, they are under the table.

- Oh... Right. Thank you.

- Where will you go this time ?

- I will go out with Denis, why ?

- Don't make me worry like last time, take your Pokénav with you please.

- Alright, alright... Last time batteries were dead, that's why.

- Do not come back too late.

- I will, chill out mom, we are going to see some battles at the Gym of Petalburg, no worries.

- Take care.

- Cya ! >>

 

Hello, i'm Raprelle, i'm 16 years old. Yeah, you probably knew that... I'm not a nice person. PROBABLY ALRIGHT ?! ... Okay. I live in Hoenn, in Littleroot town. Its very small and boring here, so we, i mean, some friends and me, are going to see some trainers at the Gym. My mom said that i can't have a pokémon now, but... How a 12 years old kid can have one and not me ?! ... Dennis was one of my best friend, sadly. He is stubborn as a mule, not very tall, and he is a little bit older than me, he is 17. I can't pretend i'm the nicest... Wait, i think i already said that.

 

This monday, we are going to see Norman, the champion of Petalburg, fighting his own child. That's gonna be very impressive to see that, yesterday, that same guy was waiting for his dad but, he wasn't there, his dad probably didn't think he was that powerful to challenge him. Dennis said that he was one of the best beginner of all time, but i didn't found out that true.

When leaving my house, Dennis was waiting for me. He had a pokéball on his hand.

 

<< Don't tell me its yours... 

- Right in the target Raprelle, its mine, said Dennis, my dad went from Mauville, the pension had an egg, and he gave it to me. Its a Poochyena, i call him Spike. Its like having a dog without really having one !

- Show it !

- Alright, here it is ! >>

 

I was very jealous. My parents never had... Uh, my mom, never had that chance, to have a pokémon, and she said, the day i wanted one, that... It was too dangerous. My dad... He leaved my mom when he knew he had a child with her. He wasn't so sure to raise me. From there, my mom just told me that. Now... Did she hide the truth... That can be a possibility.

 

Back to Dennis, his pokémon was very fluffy and beautiful. That gray robe was sure to be amazing, he pet him like it was a dog, and his poochyena was happy. I always wanted a pokémon, but never knew which one. There is almost 400, its hard to know every single one... But, its not the first time we saw trainers with pokémon, when i was young, at school, parents who were trainers, were waiting their kids with their pokémon, i saw many beautiful creature, even a Aggron... Its just... I don't know. My family wasn't very part of this universe, we were living without any pokémon at our house...

 

<< I'm gonna fight some trainers tonight Raprelle, do you want to watch that ?

- Nah... I'm gonna find myself a pokémon, with or without the agreement of my mother.

- Wow, really ?!

- Yes. I need to see professor Birch, i know he can help me get a pokéball to catch one.

- Alright Raprelle, then i'll see you around, tell me by pokénav if you got one, okay ?

- I will, don't worry Dennis. >>

 

It was enough. My mother... I don't want to hurt her feelings... And i don't want to betray her trust in me but... Their is a time, where a Pidgey needs to be a Pidgeotto. And i will be that Pidgeotto. I need to be that one. I can't stay her, in my house, doing just nothing but to see everyone having fun with pokémons. This is my destiny, and i will be... Trainer Raprelle !

 

On my road to grow, i don't want anyone to see me, and say that to my mother. But before that, i was going to see professor Birch...

 

<< Raprelle, how are you today ? And what can i do for you ?

​- Hello doc... You know exactly my mood... I still want a pokémon...

- Sadly, i don't have any at the moment... But, didn't your mother told you not to have one ? said Professor Birch while thinking about it.

- Yes, she told me but... I can't lie, but i can't stay a Pidgey all my life, i need to be a Pidgeotto now, i want one to take care of. You know that feeling professor ?

- I know... Its like a Scyther... It want to grow but it needs help... Alright Raprelle, i will help you. But, i will maybe...

- Don't say anything to my mother, please. I'm begging you...

- I won't say anything, promise. But i will give you one of my favorite and first ball i got... There, that should help you, its a Net Ball, its for capturing bug-type and water-type, it will help you.

- But... Do you really think i need a bug-type / water-type as my first pokémon ?

- Think about it as you are a Scyther yourself, keep it as the moment when you will have your first pokémon in your entire life. You don't have to capture your first pokémon with it, you can take some normal pokéball too, i will give you three, that should be enough to begin with.

- Thanks alot professor Birch...

- Don't mention it, but... In return, i want something.

- I will do anything for you.

- Don't do it alone.

- Alright...

- That's all i can say, said professor Birch, good luck Raprelle.

- Thanks, have a nice day professor ! >>

 

Professor Birch was... Well, he did replaced the dad i never had, but... He perfectly knows my feeling, to be alone without any pokémon with me. That's why he was very nice with beginners, like Dennis or like me, too. Some say, that boy who is challenging his father, was here too, Birch told me once, he pick up one of his pokémons, and as soon as he got it, he was so confident, that he did leave the town for 5 months. That's crazy ! That pokémon just change his own life, how cool is that ?! ... And i want that feeling. To have something with me and never be alone.

 

I took the forest at south of Littleroot, and as soon as i goes, many pokémons were hiding in the woods. I was there for them, to catch one that chose me... But, it wasn't that simple, they weren't very friendly, and one of them even wanted to run, i was trying to find the good one, the one that won't run away, the one that will follow me, wherever i go, but... There was a problem.

 

<< Go away you blue thing, i don't want you, i said, you are too big for that pokéball, you understand ?!

- Herrrraaa...

- Don't whine, that isn't helping.

- Heracross !

- Yeah, i heard it the first time, don't make me mad... I need to find a amazing one, with many colors and stuff... Not a blue thing tall and with a big face... >>

 

That was an Heracross but... I wanted more than him. I did continue my road to south, and as soon as i hear the water, i didn't watch where i was walking, and i fall in the water. The sad news ? I can't swim. Yup. That's it.

 

<< Heeeeeeelp ! >>

 

​That was my last word, before i was completely in the water. I was loosing consciousness slowly and slowly... And then, my eyes were closing, slowly... And blackness. Nothing. The complete unknown.

 

One week later.

 

I don't... I still... I don't know. Really. A week later, i found my self, laying on a beach... There was a huge forest, more huge than the last time i was.

I... I can't hide that i cried. I had the worst time of my life, and i was still think it was Monday or Tuesday. It was horrible. My pokénav was still working, thanks to the water proof of it. I wasn't even sure where to look, i was very weak. Some minutes later, i found the strength to stand up, and look around. I looked behind my self and...

 

<< W-W-Wow... Wait. I know that blue color...

- Heracrooooooossss !

- Woah, its still you ? ... Wait you don't have the same mark at your arm... Oh, sorry, its still the same. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT I DON-... Wait, i said while checking my Pokénav, we are the 19th september ? I was here unconscious during a week ... ? ... I... Heracross, right ?

- He-Herraaaaa.

- You did stay here for me ?

- Heracross !

- Wow i mean... I treated you like a blue thing without any ... and now... You don't even run away, or even hiding yourself... You know what ? You're my pokémon, i choose you... Uh, how can i throw that pokéball if i'm close to you...

- Heracross... Said him while holding me with his big arms.

- I... Uh... Wow. You are very friendly, i give you that... Wait, my pokénav might say who you are... Uh... Oh no, its not saying it, damn it.

- Herracrooooooooossss !

- ... A surname right ? What do you say about... Powerfulmachineofwar ?

- Hera.

- Okay, i was joking, don't turn around ! ... You're very expressive... What do you say about... Xanros ?

- Heracross !

- There you are again facing me... Okay, i will name you Xanros, do you like that name ?

- HERACROSS.

- Wow don't shout out like that ! What's going on ?! >>

 

I didn't understand at first what he was saying like that, he wasn't very normal, he did push me on the ground and hide myself with some bushes. I wasn't sure about what's going on but i saw him, running away from the little beach, and i saw a boat, with the name "Team Rocket" ... What was all about ? They were stalking using a boat ? ...

 

Once they were gone, Xanros returned and take me on his back, and he was running to the north. The forests weren't very noisy, and it was very deep...

 

One hour later...

 

Xan was still running, i was kinda bored and wanted to go to my house... After all, maybe they find out i was dead or something ? ... Suddenly, some noises like cars and city was heard.

 

<< A city ? What exactly are we ? And where are we an-

- Heracross ! >>

 

Xanros was holding his paw on my mouth, maybe to make me silent, and i did understand why, thought the bushes, i saw something very serious.

It was all team rocket, the entire city, cars, bikes, and nobody were holding any pokémons, except their grunts. What happened when i was... Sleeping, or whatever i was... It looks like the team rocket were doing their plans without having anyone to stop them.

 

<< I get your point... I mean... Let's battle them !

- Heracross, said Xanros while holding me.

- What again ?

- Hera...

- Don't you feeling battleling them ? Come on ! You're tall and you are powerful enough to cut a tree, what's going on ?

- ...

- Why are you sad ? Of course we are going to beat them all, don't you think ?

- Heracross.

- Xan... ros ? Where are you going ? I'm nothing without you, wait for me ! >>

 

He was walking away, he didn't feel he was able to fight. I was. But the actual thing is... I wasn't feeling i was the trainer. I was feeling i was his pokémon.

 

<< I don't even know how to know your level and your power... What a trainer i am...

- Heracross !

- Where are you doing ? HEY ! It's the pokéball professor Birch gave me, that pokéball ! And you even got that netball too !

- Hera-Hera.

- Wait, why are you p-... WHAT THE ! >>

 

I saw a patrol of some grunts of the team rocket, and Heracross just... Throw the pokéball at me. And i gotta say, being in a pokéball... IT'S A CAGE. The entire world seen from it was big enough to make me worried about Xanros... What was he thinking ? I'm not a pokémon, even if... I feel i'm his pokémon more and more... While having so much questions, i heard the patrol.

 

<< Hey, i saw a girl, Pat'... With that stupid Heracross.

- Maybe she just run away, you know the boss, he want everyone defenseless... Remember that kiddo that wanted to stop us ? He couldn't even did it... So a strange girl, we are going to get her, no matter what.

- You're right ! We're going for it ! Said a third guy. >>

 

I saw the point of my heracross... He was protecting me from them. I'm just wandering... How could he know that ? Was he some kind of exceptional nature or something ?

Xanros just run with me still in the pokéball, and he throw it on the ground.

 

<< Rapreeeeeelllleeee ! ... I'm joking, i'm not a pokémon at all... But, Xanros, are you that intelligent... Can't believe you actually saved me from theses pests of team rocket. If you want to know what i think, i think we should battl-... Alright, i heard your opinion, don't show me that pokéball again ... Let's get going, maybe Littleroot is safe... I hope so. >>

 

While walking away with Xanros, i knew, even if my mother is still in that little village, that nobody will care to see me with a pokémon...

 

<< You know what ? You should walk in front of me, mister Trainer...

- Hera !

- Come on, do it ! You're taller than me anyway... I don't even know how to raise you...

- C-C-Cross !

- W-... What are you doing bowing from me ? I'm not a q... Queen. I mean, i'm the trainer, not a queen but hey... DON'T YOU DARE SHOWING ME THAT POKÉBALL AGAIN ALRIGHT ?! I already said it, i'm not a pokémon, you should be in it ! You'll see what i mean ! >>

 

We were battling about who is right and who isn't right... Like some kids. We were even throwing pokéballs at each other, until something happened.

 

<< Chhht, you listening ? I heard a strange noise...

- Hera... Said Xanros approaching me.

It's like... Some pokémons are running faster and faster... Oh my... Xanros, we better run. NOW.

- Hera ! >>

 

Xanros pick me up on his back, and he was running the fast he could, until we saw the real deal chasing us.

It was a bunch of doduos were running to our direction, they wanted to eat Xanros, without a doubt.

My heracross were so panicked that... WIth his wings, he wanted to fly.

 

<< What are you doing ?! Go into the net ball, maybe it will protect you m-AAAAAAAAH ! >>

 

He was about to fly, when a cliff showed up, he had no choice but to jump, i wasn't even sure about how we will touch the ground, but... That will hurt a lot. His wings didn't really worked the way he wanted, and when we did hit ground, it was the worst thing happening in a single second. I did hit the ground very hard, even if Xanros tried to save me, i broke my left leg, and i was lying on the ground.

 

<< S-S-Stupid Xanros, why did... Ouch... I think i can't walk right now.

- H-Heracross...

- Hey don't complain, you have pokécenters with free heals ! ... I'm in a really bad shape. Why did you think you could fly ?!

- Hera...

- ... Alright, that's nothing... Can you help me standing up for a moment ? >>

 

It wasn't his fault... I would have done the same, if i'm honest... He wasn't feeling so good too, sadly. He had a hard time, struggling, to standing up too... So, i was feeling, i'm gonna ask him for help, but help him, trying to be THE trainer, and him, he was doing my job from the time we met, protecting me, showing me the real danger, and helping me. I couldn't be "Raprelle, the trainer that have a pokémon that trains her" after all... I was gonna be a real trainer now... I was crying by the pain of my leg, but i succeed to stand-up.

 

<< Com-Come on Xanros, i won't let you down, i said while barely standing up, you can just do all the work for yourself, take my hand !

- H-Hera...

- N-No ! >>

 

He was too heavy, that he pulled me on him. I was hugging him without my will, and i was... I wasn't gonna move. I was feeling good hugging him, my head was on his chest, and i could feel his arms hugging me. He loved me. I loved him. We were just... Relaxing a little bit ?... Yeah, i could say that. After all... What's wrong for being HIS pokémon ? ... Nah, nothing's wrong. It's fine to me and for him anyway...

After that sweet moment with... Him. Of course, now, he isn't no longer a pokémon at my eyes, he is now my partner. Who would he be else... I don't have any reasons for that... Alright, let's close that "misunderstood thing", it'll be better. I'll continue. After that moment... I decided to stand up, even if my leg was busted. I took my courage, and, it took me some minutes before enduring the pain of it. Xanros helped me a little bit, he could even walk, i saw him even worse than me, but he managed to walk, run, and even trying to fly again ! I really wanted a pokédex, just to see his profile, and trying to understand what could he do, and what he can endure in battle, that was one of the thing a trainer should know.
 
I walked with his help, in the same direction as we took before some dudos was purchasing us, and after some hours, the night began to fall, and we could see far from us, Littleroot, with many difficulties to see it in the darkness... Many Golbats flying above us... That was scary, specially for Xanros, he was hiding behind me, even if he is the double of my size... After that, we arrived to Littleroot, seems that nobody was outside... That was really quiet.
 
<< Let's go to the professor's lab, maybe he can explained what we saw before... You know, the city and the whole situation.
- Heracross !
- I know right, even me, i found him... Wait, what am i saying... Did i just answer your roar for a moment ?
- Hera !
- Okay... Don't make many noises, maybe his lab is in Team Rocket's possessions too, maybe let me go in first, and then you go after my signal ?
- Herrrrrrracross !
- Wait in the forest, okay ? I won't be so long, i promise Xanros. >>
 
I didn't wanted to take a risk with Xan, he is powerful, but he isn't discreet, that's not his quality, for sure. When i did enter in the lab, something really bad was going on...
 
<< Professor ? Where are you ? It's me, Raprelle.
- R-r-r-raprelle ? Is that you ?
- Ohhh, professor Birch, you're still here ! I was worried...
- Ev-Every-Everyone though you were dead, Raprelle... Wh-Where have you been ?
- That's a long story, i wanna know, is the team rocket really powerful now ? I saw a city earlier and, that was full of grunts, and bandits, normal people couldn't wear any pokéball, what is going on ? Do you know anything ?
- They will comeback...
- Who ? Team rocket ?
- They always do...
- Tell me ! Is the team rocket really going to rule the world now ?!
- They did, and now... Hope is gone Raprelle, hope is GONE.
- WHY, TELL ME FOR GOD'S SAKE !
- THEY DID A COMEBACK RAPRELLE, IT'S TOO LATE TO SAY WHY AND WHO !
- ... I just wanted to... Know. No need to be that aggressive...
- You should hide yourself. Nobody knows you now, your mother didn't say she had a daughter. You are unknown, they can't put your name on their list. Run, Raprelle, run away, far, now. Kanto is done, Hoenn is done, and Johto... Even if their is people that tries to stop them in Johto, they always win, hide yourself in a cave or something, that's your best bet.
- You say that like it was always lost, if their is people that are still fighting, even in Johto, we can't give up right now !
- They had May.
- May ? Wait, one of the best trainers in Hoenn ?
- Yes. She is my daughter, they were trying to make her lose by saying that, if she don't give up, i wouldn't be alive. Even Brice ... He couldn't do anything... Elites four and the champion lost, too...
- BRICE ?! YOU SERIOUS ?!
- Yes, Raprelle. ALL IS LOST.
- The best trainer in Hoenn... Even the champion and elites four...
- They will comeback here, you better run, now. I'm sorry Raprelle for being a little bit harsh with you right now, but i don't want to see you, lost everything, like i did.
- Do you have any pokédex left ?
- I have mine, they didn't took it, if you want it, you can, i don't have anything left anyway...
- I will take it and protect it, don't worry professor Birch, and... I'm sorry, for your daughter...
- That's okay. But it's too late, i hear them coming... Run as you can Raprelle, quickly, you can try to escape them, you must ! >>
 
Hearing his last words, i was trying to run, sadly, they went in before, i was done, and Xanros... I hope he'll find a way to help me...
 
<< What we got here, a new trainer ? Said one of them.
- You'll never control the world, Team Rocket, even if... If i must die for it !
- What a speech, can't we just get Birch and her, and get out of here ? >>
 
They were 3, the right one was tall, the second was small, and the third one had his entire face covered. I was done, i knew it, but if we get out of the lab, maybe Xanros can saw me... That what i was thinking, i just played the fake "Oh you won't get me" and taking as much as times as possible.
 
<< Jope, go ahead and take Birch, i'll take the girl, then we go. Adam, search the place, you know the boss. Always search any places, even if we already did.
- Okay partner, i'll do, said "Adam" the tall guy one.
- Now you, be nice with us, or the boss ain't gonna let you roam free in Hoenn, you don't even have a pokémon, that's sweet too...
- What exactly are you gonna do ? I said, worried.
- Don't worry, we are just gonna write your name, take a picture, and you'll be on one of our lists, then we will know who you are, and if you miss the call, then you're done, and you'll go to the prison, and you ain't gonna receive 20 000 pokédollars... Okay ? Said the man with a hood.
- What a piece of crap you are, obeying your boss like you were his dog, that's sad...
- What did you just said ?
- Yeah, you heard me, i ain't gonna give up, just because you are trying to be his good little dog. >>
 
I was standing up, in front of him, i... I was really scared. But just because i was scared, doesn't mean i couldn't do anything, Birch was speechless, he was too scared to do anything, but i wasn't gonna let them do what they want, just because they were Team Rocket, that's not my personality. That hooded man, he was scary, but even for that, that did gives me more reasons to stand up to him.
 
<< You're gonna get the prison, lady. Don't ever say things like that again.
- I can say whatever i want, punk.
- That's enough, you'll get the prison.
- NOOOOOOOOOOO ! Said Birch while being taken by one of the guys.
- Even the prison isn't scary, you're not threatening me, stupid jerk. I'm not gonna give up against your stupid attitude...
- Tie her up guys, i don't wanna see that girl said that... We're nice people, said the hooded guy, and we wanted you to be nice with us, but now... You did get me REALLY ANGRY.
- Go ahead ! Try if you want, i'm gonna kick your face if you try ! >>
 
I wasn't even sure how to deal with them, but... I was buying some times, i wanted to make Xanros worry about me, so he can come and save us... But... I didn't kick them. They did with a pokémon, sadly. They did tied me, and i wasn't gonna lie here, i was... AMAZINGLY SCARED RIGHT NOW. The same name was on my head, Xanros... We did what i told him, waiting for my signal... And he isn't gonna disobey, that's... He really trust me.
After capturing me, we did exit the lab, and surprise...
 
<< HERACROSSSSSSS ! >>
 
Xanros did jumped from the rooftop of the lab, and he did hit the ground from his two feets, shacking the ground. He was... He was a hell of a pokémon, i couldn't just watch something else, i was watching only him, he was really strong.
 
<< What the... Who's that pokémon ?! Said the taller.
- Get that heracross down, he can't ruin our plan right now ! Said the hooded one. >>
 
After shacking the ground, he beat the smaller even if he was a trainer by throwing him in the forest, and the two others are throwing pokéballs to fight him. Xanros... I was really counting on you.
 
<< Have you just seen his level... 64... Said Adam.
- We... We can't do anything against him, my pokémons are weaks... We need to give up, we can't deal with that. Retreat, Adam, retreat !
- I'll take Birch and run, we don't need the girl after all !
- You're lucky, whatever your name is, that heracross just saved you, we will track you down, don't even worry about it ! Said the hood guy, running away. >>
 
That "Adam" was tall and strong, he took Birch with him like it was a package or something, they did run away the fast they can... and i was laying on the ground, still.. Amazed... About my hero... About Xanros... How could he be so strong ? How could he be that level ?
 
<< X-X-Xan... Xan-Xanros... How... I...
- Heracross !
- You're a beast. I'm useless... I don't even deserve you. You... You deserve May or even Brice, i'm... I'm too weak for you, i said while beginning to cry. I don't even understand, how you can listen to me, how you can treat me like the best person in the world, even if i'm rude with you. I wasn't even trying to love you first, then i learned, slowly and slowly... And now, now... That i can see you, and everything about you, i just... I can't help my self... You need someone who is better than me. I'm sorry for everything Xan', b-but...
- Hera ?
- That pokéball... Wait. Are you gonna "say" that you don't agree with me ?
- Hera !
- So you accept me as your trainer, after all ? How can you understand what i say, it's... It's like you are reading me as a book.
- Heraaaaaa ! >>
 
He took me into his arms. How... How could he really understand everything i was saying ? Could he feel what i was trying to say ? ... Xanros is... He is one of the best friend i have ever had. Even if he could know that i'm a stupid and worst trainer in the whole Hoenn, i'm sure he will still stay with me. He was the one who find me, and he was the one who saved me. I was gonna stay with him. I was now motivated enough to understand what he wants best.
 
<< You know what Xanros ? Let's beat their asses. Come on, untie me. We aren't gonna let them rule the world. We are go-... What are you looking ? ... Where are you going Xan' ? Please, come help me ! ... What is he thinking for while going in my house... WAIT. My mother ? ...
- Let me go, you brutal blue thing ! Said my mom.
- XANROS ! LET HER DOWN !
- R-Raprelle ?
- Mom, i'm over here, in front of the lab...
- Raprelle ! ... Oh my god, i can't... I'm...
- Don't worry mom, i know what you're gonna say, and... I'm sorry, i had an accident, last week, and... Xanros, my pokémon, saved me.
- I just can't believe you're alive... I was... Did... How... And because of that blue thing ?
- Hey, don't say things like that to my pokémon, his name is Xanros !
- Okay Raprelle but... I have some questions... First is, what are you laying on the ground tied up ?
- Well, first answer, we met Team Rocket.
- Alright then... And second, why did you disobey when i did said, you didn't have my permission to have a pokémon ?
- Mom... I'm sorry... I wanted one so much and... 
- Listen... The damage is done... I'm not angry about it as much as i'm happy you're still alive, saying my mom untying me, but... Sometimes you can't just decide and do whatever you want, before knowing if the persons are concerned about it or not... Understand ?
- Again, i'm sorry mom, i said while hugging her after she did free me. I'm glad that you understand...
- ... What is his name again ?
- Xanros !
- Heraaaaaaaaaaaacrossss !
- Looks like he is responding to his name, wow !
- You didn't even saw when he tries to fly, or even when he picks me up on his back, or even...
- ... You really like him, don't you ?
- Of course, i love him ! He is my best friend, maybe even more than that, he is my pokémon !
- Alright...
- ... You don't seems to be really happy about that ?
- I just... Maybe i was wrong, trying to make you avoid the world of pokémons...
- You wanted to protect me, don't worry, i did understood that when Xanros did... Oups.
- Did ? He did hurt you or else ?
- Well, it's more complicated, i said while picking up the pokéball of Xanros, he pointed that thing against me, and i did enter in it one time.
- He did captured you in pokéball ?! ... Hahahaha, my poor Raprelle...
- He was protecting me in it, i didn't understood why but... That's the same thing, you did protect me from that world like being in a pokéball. But, that wasn't in the worst way... You wanted the best of me, and... It's okay.
- Mmh, you could say that Raprelle... Okay, i'll let you with him. But you're gonna sleep at our house, it's late.
- I don't know, i want to save professor Birch, and save his researchs about pokémons and...
- Huh, your Xanros his pointing his pokéball at you, is it normal ?
- ... Yes. He doesn't agree with my idea...
- Oh, haha. Then, good boy !
- Hey ! I wanted to save Birch ! He is in d- >>
 
I think you know what just happen... He did throw the pokéball at me. I could still hear the sounds from outside... But something was different, the pokédex was saying something...
 
<< Raprelle, human pokémon, a human that nobody known as a trainer, she isn't easy to capture unless a Heracross is doing it with a normal pokéball. She lives in cities.
- What the hell ! I'm in the pokédex now ?! ... That is stupid. I can't attack or any-... Wow, i'm level 3 ? Really ? That isn't true... My nature is Adamant, and apparently, i know the attack Growl and Jump Kick ? I'm a fighting type or wh- >>
 
A few seconds after that, Xanros let go me out of the pokéball.
 
<< Raprelle ! ... I said without wanted to say it... Wait, i didn't wanted to say that.
- Heracross !
- Great... Wait, we are in my house, in my room ? Did my mom agreed keeping me in that pokéball like that ?
- Hera !
- I can't believe it... Seems she agrees with that idea... Alright, let's just take some rest, tomorrow we have a rescue to do !
- Herrrayess !
- Herayes ? What did you just said ?
- Yessss !
- W-WHAT ?! WHAT IS GOING ON ? SAID THAT AGAIN ?!
- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !
- Wooooooow ! Not too loud !
- Why ?
- ... Are you really messing with me right now ?
- You're dreaming, lazy girl.
- Oh... Okay... But... You're not real, then...
- You are a pokémon, Raprelle.
- Seeing you speaking even in a dream is disturbing...
- Act like you are a pokémon...
- I don't know what you're really trying to say behind that, but, you know better than me, that i'm not a pokémon.
- You are.
- Nope, i'm not...
- The pokédex, the pokéball, the level...
- The pokédex is wrong, i'm not a pokémon at all, alright ?
- Wake up ! >>
 
When my dream was done, i did wake up in the pokéball. I was still in it... And i don't know why. Did my mom agrees keeping me like that ? ... Oh well, i had a good night after all... Its cozy in here.
After some minutes, Xanros did throw the pokéball on the ground, and i was free again.
 
Tuesday, 20th september. 8:19 AM.
 
<< Raprelle ! ... I... I didn't wanted to say that... I'm still dreaming ?
- Herrraa !
- ... Nah, i'm not dreaming, then it's strange... Did you had a good night heracross ?
- Hera !
- Okay, everything is normal again, fine... Let's go take a breakfast and save M.Birch !
- Herraaa !
- I heard ya, boy ! >>
 
We were going to the kitchen, when my mom was cooking something nice, it was some hot chocolate. I wanted to show the pokédex to my mom, about what happen with me and the pokéball.
 
<< Hello you two, here, take a nice hot chocolate, have you slept well in that pokéball Raprelle ? Hahaha.
- HA. HA. HA... Surprisingly, i slept very well. It was cozy in here...
- Really ?
- Yup. Wow, it's been a week since i didn't eat anything that great !
- How did you feed yourself when you weren't here ?
- I... Huh... Xanros did fed me some... Fishes, i had the taste... When i did wake up on the beach. I was about to drown and i guess, he saved and took care of me.
- So you don't eat the fishes i cook, but you eat his fishes !
- I didn't feeling good and i wasn't wake, mom !
- Okay... But i don't wanna know how he did fed you.
- I don't wanna know too, to be honest... Can i show you something ?
- Sure, what is it ?
- That's Birch's pokédex, and... Something strange did happen last night, he did recognize me as a pokémon...
- Meh, that's nothing Raprelle, maybe it's a toy or... Said my mom while holding it, oh... No, it's a real... Maybe because you went in that pokéball and Xanros did that on you ?
- Maybe...
- Okay, it's nothing wrong, maybe P.Birch know something about it, you'll see that later i guess. Eat, you must be really hungry !
- I will ! >>
 
We were eating, Xanros did eat a little bit but... I don't think he likes human food, so i did let him went outside, doing his meal, while taking a shower. Once i was done, i did exit the house, saying good bye to my mom, since i don't know if we will be safe or not, saving M.Birch. Xanros did wait me outside, and we were going up north, to Odale Town.
 
<< Come on Xan, let's go. We need to save him !
- Herrrrra !
- ... Wait, there is something wrong... The grass, it's not normal... It's too quiet... And why... Why this Poochyena is looking at me ?
- Hera ?
- WOW, WHAT THE ! >>
 
Something, was very wrong. Something that wasn't normal at all. I made that same road, like a thousand times, and, a pokémon was looking at me, and trying to attack me. I knew this would have happen, now. I wasn't sure about it. Now, now... I am. But i'm ready.
 
<< You know what to do Xan ?
- Heraaaaaaaaa !
- Exactly. Raprelllllle ! >>
 
The road will be tougher that i was expected. I wasn't counting on Xanros too much, i needed to be able to defend my self. I'm no longer who i was yesterday. Now, i'll be...

... A pokémon.

<< Come on Xan', we don't have time to beat them all, come help me a little bit ! >>
 
Fighting... It wasn't that easy, after all. Xanros had a playground, he was so powerful, that... I wasn't as good as him in every way. After beating my first pokémon in a wild battle, we needed to push forward, and Xan helped me dealing with pokémons, that wasn't as hard after that.
We managed to get to Odale Town in less time as possible, and there wasn't anybody outside... We went into an house, and someone was here.
 
<< W-Who are you ? Said an old man.
- Don't worry, we aren't ennemies, we're to help people.
- Oh... Okay. That is your heracross ?
- Yes, his name is Xanros but... We wanted to know, if you saw a hooded guy and a tall man, from Team Rocket ?
- Of course, they went a east from there, they were running.
- Thanks a lot, sir.
- Why are you asking ? You want to fight them ?
- We are going to, yup.
- You are crazy, girl...
- I'm not worried, Xanros will break them all ! ... Again Xan ? Don't you agree ? You want to listen that old man ?
- Hera !
- Alright... And why are you saying we are crazy, sir ?
- You can't deal the problem with pokémons, you need some people as well...
- Uh, i'm not quite sure, i understand what you want, here... ?
- You probably don't know that but, pokémons and humans were the same, and it was... It was a peaceful time, because everyone were equals. People who loved pokémons, would take care of them, and who want to just spend some time with them, they spend time with them. What i mean, is... Team Rocket isn't a pokémon problem at first, we, people, need to find a new strength from us, and not always pokémons. You know what i'm saying ?
- Probably... So we need people right ?
- Yes.
- Okay... I'll think about it...
- Take care of yourself and of your Xanros, good luck on your journey.
- Thanks ! We won't give up ! Let's get going Xanros ! >>
 
Equal ... ? Wait, people actually value pokémons as much as humans ? We treated them like animals, and put them in pokéballs, and before that... What happen to become that actual situation ? ... Maybe he was right... Maybe we need to revolt, all together, not just bringing pokémons, maybe all people of Hoenn should revolt against Team Rocket... I don't even know what i'm feeling a pokémon... That's... That's something i'll work on when i will have time for that. Maybe Professor Birch have answers for that, he knows so much things...
 
<< Come on Xanros, we need to get them !
- Herrrraaaaaaa !
- Yeah, come on, roar with me ! >>
 
We were running, i saw some people in their house, trying to see us, making roars in the little city, i wanted to show them hope, so they can think they can do something. Maybe everyone needed a new leader ? Maybe everyone needed to see someone standing up against Team Rocket ?
Running to Petalburg, we took again, a few minutes to get there. I had maybe gain some levels with all of theses fights against pokémons, but... That wasn't something i cared of, Birch was my main goal at the moment.
 
<< X-Xan, don't make too much noise, i heard some fights...
- Hera...
- Look, theses guys... Who are they...
- Cross! Cross!
- Maybe they are nice people... They are fighting Team Rocket, i don't even know them but... Come on, we need to help them !
- Hera ! >>
 
Some pirates were fighting Team Rocket grunts with their pokémons, we were running to them, trying to help.
 
<< Poochyena, use Charge ! Said one of the blue pirates.
- Who's that kid for ?
- We aren't ennemies, we are here to help you against them ! I said.
- Great, nice to see a new team Aqua member ! >>
 
Team Aqua ? Who are they ? ... Alright, maybe i didn't had the time to chat, Xanros and me, were running to the Pirate's Poochyena, joining their fight, the Team Rocket had a Weezing and a Golbat. The pirate was confused.
 
<< What are you doing kid ? You fight theses things ? Said one of them with a black coat.
- There, i said while throwing to him the pokédex, that should tell you why.
- ... You can't beh serious, what the meaning of that kid, you're a pokémon ? That's joke ? Said the pirate who have a Poochyena.
- It's not, trust me. Come on Xan, let's beat the big one first, that Weezing !
- Heraaaaaaaaaaaaa !
- Can't yer believe she's fighting some pokémons... Poochyena, charge ! >>
 
In the fight, and after the weezing get down, that golbat did feint too. The two grunts from Team Rocket were running away, saving their skins... We were good after all ! ... The pirates did approach us after the fight.
 
<< Thanks for the help, kid. Said the pirate with a coat. But what are you doing fighting ? It's your heracross ?
- Yes, it's Xanros, and that's because i'm a pokémon, i had something weird with a pokéball, last day, i need to retrieve professor Birch.
- That's strange but, alright. I'm the leader of Team Aqua, we... Let me tell you the truth, we are lovers to the sea but... Before that situation, that green kid who beat us...
- Brice ? I said.
- Something like that, showed us that, we don't need the best power to achieve what we want, so... We were trying to be helpful in Hoenn and... Since the region needed some help with boats, we were helping them, from some months to the last week but... Team Rocket, at least, that what they called themself, from Kanto, were trying to steal every pokémons in Hoenn, many tries to stop them, even Brice, and when, we, Team Aqua, because i speak for our small community, saw that he was down, we were scared, and after trying to hide our-selves in cities, many of team aqua members were caught, we don't have the strength to beat them, to resist their attack and they don't give up... If you weren't here, we were done, the whole team Aqua would have been down.
- Wow... I didn't know you, Team Aqua, just know that Brice show the path to some random teams in Hoenn by his words and his strength... But, i'm still happy to see, that some people are trying to resist them.
- Legendaries were caught too, Brice had every pokémon of Hoenn in his possession, and now, it's the whole Team Rocket who have them, even Kyogre...
- Oh... Now you're talking to that subject... I did remember Team Aqua, who wanted to control Kyogre... The tv spoke a lot of you.
- Yes, Kyogre and Groudon did a little fight between us but... That green dragon stopped them just by showing himself... We need that dragon again, something to stop the whole Team Rocket... But i don't know if we can, since they have that dragon...
- Don't worry sir, me and Xanros, we won't give up, we are going to stand up against them, showing some hope to everyone.
- At least, even if, it isn't in our nature, you can count on us, kid. What's your name ?
- Raprelle.
- Alright... Raprelle... I'm Arthur, nice to meet you.
- CHIEF ! CHIIIIIIIEF ! Said one of the two pirates.
- Yes ?
- Someone from Odale Town... I was... I was about to help my pokémon, and someone said, he just heard a huge roar, something very powerful, in the north... It's coming in our way.
- WHAT ?! It can't be... That dragon... K-... Uh, Raprelle ? Come with me.
- Why ? Is that dragon really dangerous ?
- Yes. Maybe they knew they lost a fight in Hoenn, they wanted to take out the winners. Come on, follow me, under the water, we have a hideout.
- Okay, come with me Xanros, i said while holding his paw.
- Hera ?
- Your pokémon, did he really trust you ?
- Yes, he could do anything for me.
- That's important, not every pokémons can dive in the water... Said Arthur, fallback guys, right now ! >>
 
After coming in the north of Petalburg, we jumped in the water, and we found their hideout, that a mechanical door, activated by a switch from Arthur's coat.
In it, it was much bigger than expected, and Arthur gave me towel.
 
<< Take it, don't take cold, that would be bad, we are safe here, said Arthur. Listen kid, you can use that hideout if need to, i always let on of my guys around in Petalburg, since Norman don't see anything wrong with that, he can help you too.
- Okay... Thanks a lot Arthur.
- Don't worry about it kid, how you and your pokémon going ? Are you low on HP ? We have a machine over there, that will heal you and your pokémon, but you need to be in a pokéball and he need to be in one too.
- Then... We will need help for that... And getting out of them too.
- Pat, come here.
- Yes chief ?
- Help Raprelle and his pokémon, Luke ?
- Sir ?
- Watch with the scope, we need to know if it's clear when we will get out.
- Okay sir !
- From now, let's rest a little bit, said Arthur. >>
 
After entering in a room, there was a machine for healing pokéballs.
 
<< You're Raprelle, right ?
- Yes and i guess you are Pat ?
- Yerp.
- So how do we proceed ?
- Do ya need any pokéball ? I saw you got only one.
- Yes, for Xanros... He would like a net ball, i can feel it.
- Okay, we have one, you need to do it still.
- I'll do it but... It's his first time.
- Take your time, if you want to be alone, you can, no worries.
- I will... Thanks Pat.
- I'll be back in a minute...
- Xanros...
- Hera ?
- We need to speak about it, you know, the pokéball... We need to know, which one of us, is the trainer, and the other one, is the pokémon so...
- Hera ! Said Xanros while holding the pokéball.
- I know, buddy... I know... I'm... I'm more your pokémon, than you're mine so... I guess... Even if i speak, you should be the trainer, and i will be the pokémon... But, we won't say anything to everybody... I said while sitting, you know, it's actually a strange thing, think about what the old man says... Pokémons were equal to humans... Maybe we are trying to recreate the same link... You're more than a pokémon for me, anyway... I mean, you're the trainer but, you're not just that, you're more...
- Heracross !
- I know you don't agree with me, but, think about it, i said while standing up, holding his paws, looking at his eyes, we can't... We can't always avoid the situation, if you need to be or i need to be the trainer... Do you feel what i'm trying to say ? If anything is going bad... Who will hold the pokéball in the end ? I'm too weak, and if i pass out, you need to be the one who will help me... Do you understand ? ... You're my guardian, if you want to say that in your language...
- H-Hera...
- I know, it's tough to hold the life and the trust of someone... But, you need to know too that... I love you, and i can't think about living outside without you. I can't pretend being strong always so... You'll have... You'll have to hold my life and my trust by holding my pokéball if anything were going bad... Okay Xanros ? Can i trust you on that ?
- Heracross.
- I will take that like a yes, i guess... Now that, we have this question with an answer, come on. Capture me.
- Hera...
- Don't be afraid, you've done it before, don't think about a disagreement, think about... About you need to save me, alright ?
- Heracross ! >>
 
I was really thinking he was understanding what i was saying. We were like a synergy now, but he was the one who was holding cards. I wasn't holding him, he was holding me. I just can't believe... I can't believe i did put my life on his hands... I don't know what he is thinking, i don't know what he'll do, and i don't really know about all of that, i just know, that he can understand what i'm saying, and that's all... I'm wishing he could talk like the way i talk... Maybe that old man we saw at Odale town was right, maybe... Maybe pokémons and humans are the same, maybe they could spoke as us, before the generations made them like today. I have to do the same with Xanros now, there isn't pokémon or human between me and him, after all.
 
After a few minutes, i heard Pat saying stuff...
 
<< Where is ya trainer, heracross ?
- Herrrra !
- What yer showing meh... Oh, okay, she is in that one... But what about ya ?
- Hera...
- Guess what... That's nothin', you'll recover later, you don't really seem to need some rest, teh.
- Cross !
- Your trainer is a pokémon too, ya know, that's strange...
- Pat ?
- Yesh Artuhur ?
- Did you drink again ?
- Nope!
- Right... Where is Raprelle ?
- I'm healing her, right now.
- Okay, i will wait then. >>
 
The healing machine was... IT WAS HEAVEN ! I felt like being 200% charged, i was ready to take out ANYTHING. I was burning to battle, ready to fight anything that i will see, i was boosted at a high level, i could achieve anything... But Arthur, was he really waiting for me ? Did he needed anything to ask ? ... A few minutes later, Xanros did let me free of the pokéball.
 
<< Raprelle ! ... I swear, i didn't wanted to do that again... I said.
- Oh Raprelle, there you are, said Arthur, i... Pardon me but... I heard what you were saying, to your heracross... I... It wasn't my fault, i needed something and i heard that... You are strange... What kind of bond did you actually made with your pokémon ?
- Something weird but... That's our way to do, the first time i met him... I didn't had the courage to capture him... Instead, and for saving me, he did capture me before i did, and i'm thinking... Maybe that's why i'm a pokémon now, maybe because of that... So now, I've decided that, if i'm ill, if i'm hurt, or if i need anything, he is the one that could save me anytime.
- That's a really strange feel you have with him... Nobody saw something like that... I'm probably the first surprised, but you... You're someone special.
- My objective is to rescue professor Birch... Maybe he have answers for that... Do you know him ?
- Yes, he is the best professor in the whole region, Birch is the one who know anything about pokémons... After Professor Oak, of course.
- That's why i want to save him, because anyone could need him, even me, i want to know, why i'm a pokémon.
- I agree... I have something to ask you... Because me, Arthur, leader of Team Aqua, can't do it... I need to retrieve Max, the leader of Team Magma... He was my enemy but... If you say that, we need to fight that Team Rocket, then, Max probably have some men to help that situation. I'm sure about it. We, Team Aqua, are no longer as many as we were, we need to get back our members, but that prison... I heard they used our old hideouts... Raprelle, you need to free some people from Team Rocket, but as you are alone, it will be both very dangerous and easy for you, if you are a pokémon now, i saw that pokédex and i must say... you're a fighting type, be careful of birds and some bugs... And i hope your Xanros will help you get Birch before Max, so we can know about your strange thing, before contacting the leader of Team Magma.
- Okay Arthur... I always did judge you badly, some months before, and i'm sorry, you have change from your past of criminal.
- Everybody change, one day or another, don't worry about it kid, that's nothing, i could had understand it anyway... People did gave us a 2nd chance, and we are really happy about it... Now we need to help the same people that helped us... Alright kid, you know what to do now. Take care.
- I will, thanks for everything.
- Oh, before you leave, there, take that bag. It have some stuff for survival, it had rope for climbing, o² bottle for diving, water, food, a pocket pokédex, a tent, and if you want my pokénav number, you can have it. It is on this paper.
- Thanks again, Arthur.
- Cap'n, they're gone, we can leave the hid-
- No worries Pat, Raprelle will leave, we will stay here and support her quest. If you need any pokémon with you Raprelle, just ask, we don't have many but, you'll need them more than us.
- Keep them with you, in case of a new attack, it'll be much easier.
- Understood. Good luck kid.
- Good luck Arthur, don't get caught.
- We won't. >>
 
I'm surprised they helped me a lot like that, kinda disturbing from ex-criminals... But, at least, that's better than nothing, they wanted the old situation, back again. He had hope for Max, the leader of Team Magma, but i don't have hope for them, sadly, maybe it's too late... After exiting their hideout, i needed to see Norman, the gym leader, maybe he saw something, maybe he can even tell me, how powerful the Team Rocket is... We did run to his gym, and we saw him, training his body.
 
<< Hello... I said.
- Gym is closed, sorry.
- I don't want to fight, don't worry, i'm here to speak about Team Rocket...
- What do you want to know from them ?
- Uh, well first... I wanted to know, how your son did lose against us...
- Brice... Team Rocket had powerful pokémon from their boss, Giovanni. They did a fight in Rustboro city, the whole population of Hoenn could see that though the tv, and, he lost... My son was amazingly powerful, but even for that, i don't really know how he did lose, maybe they did something else.
- Okay... I wanted you, to know, that me and my heracross are going to Rustboro, is it safe ?
- Devon is down, and their boss live in it, it's too dangerous, you won't stand a chance if you want to get in that city... And what are you doing anyway ?
- I'll fight them.
- YOU ARE CRAZY !
- Hey, i'm not the one who is crazy, the whole population of Hoenn is enough to get down Team Rocket, with or without pokémons, you and everyone, are crazy not to think about it, it's not about pokémon, it's about our region, we don't need them to deal our problems !
- That's a theory, but how are you gonna fight without pokémon then ?
- Together, everyone, i'm here to bring hope, not stupids jokes.
- They can fly, they can surf, they can cut, they can do anything they want, they are Team Rocket for foop's sake, not peasants.
- I'll do it alone then, thanks a lot, i'm very sad to hear that from a Gym Leader who was powerful before...
- Fine. Go do your revolution alone, kid. >>
 
We did exit his gym and... I guess we can't count on him, even if he could bring people of this town to a better hope than us, at least, we didn't gave up like he did. His son maybe lose about something else, not just the battle, he was the best trainer after all... Alright.
Rustboro won't be our next city after that, we will need to go somewhere else... Petalburg woods, i didn't knew that place, but, from the map of my pokénav, it seems something interesting... Maybe we can surprise a grunt in it and disguise ourselves and pass Rustboro.
 
We were running, the woods are large enough to feel a bit safe, since no flying pokémon is able to see outside of it... It's our best bet.
 
An hour later.
 
Heracross wasn't a pokémon from theses woods, but since they didn't suspect him when we were at south of LIttleroot, it will be okay.
 
<< Xan, i heard some noises. Come here ! I said while hiding in a bush.
- Come on Adam, we don't have time to pick flowers, we need to get that girl down, at Littleroot...
- But... But they are beautiful...
- I SAID COME ON.
- Alright alright... Heartless monster !
- Don't ever say that, i'm very nice and beautiful in my heart...
- Speak for yourself, Leko.
- Have you seen Jope recently ?
- No... But i guess he'll be back soon, no doubt about it...
- Alright, hurry up, i hope she is still at Littleroot... She was stupid enough to stand up against us... >>
 
I was about to say something and battle them but... Rustboro is just a mile away, couldn't take the risk... I hope my mom will be safe... When they did leave the woods, we didn't had any thoughts about how to pass that city... But, i had one.
 
<< Xanros, i will never say that again but... We will need to be on our crazy hour right now.
- Hera ?
- Do you have any idea about... What "rush" mean ?
- Hera... ?
- Don't worry, it's not hard, all you need is to run and follow me. I know, we risk our lives, we risk a lot from that, but... Do you have any choices... The pokéball ? Have you been thinking about a new plan ?
- Cross !
- Hey, i don't understand what you're saying me !
- HERACROSS !
- Chhht... We don't know if their is some grunts, roaming in the woods...
- ...
- Try to explain your plan if you still have one... ?
- ...
- I guess we will go with my option, stay ready, i'm gonna scout a little bit the woods, before we try to sneak and run into the city. Wait for my signal... But don't worry, this time i'm not gonna let you down. >>
 
Approaching the trees, watching anything was moving, there was nobody. Everything was clear... I did the signal for Xanros, and we were ready to leave the woods in the north, until... I saw it's still a road and not the city.
 
<< I though it was the city... My pokénav is wrong... But i saw it, after the bridge, so... I guess we still don't have a choice. Let's get going Xan. >>
 
There wasn't any time left to think about it, we were at the entrance of it. Then we ran.
 
<< Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun Xanros !
- Herrrracross !
- What the... said a grunt, IT'S A TRAINER ! EVERYBODY STOP THEM RIGHT NOW !
- Come on Xan', we need to get in that cave, at east, that will help us getting in Verdanturf, it's our only option ! >>
 
We managed to leave the town, still running, but many grunts were chasing us. Rusturf Tunnel was right ahead, as soon as we did get there, Xanros was strange.
 
<< After that tunnel, we will be safe ! Come on Xan !
- Heracross.
- Why are you doing ? Keep running with me ! 
- HERACROSS ! >>
 
He wasn't running with me anymore, he did punch the tight tunnel, and many rocks were falling from the tunnel, blocking the whole tunnel. I was separated from Xanros. He wanted to save me.
 
<< Xaaaaaaaaaan ! Are you okay ?! ... Damn... I knew it... Why did i have ever said that was his role to save me in case of something like that... And how did he understood what was going on on the same time, we could hide ourselves after the tunnel, since people on the other town don't know us... They will capture him... X-Xanros, i hope you know what you're doing... >>
 
From now on, i was alone... I wasn't sure i wanted to cry, or i wanted to shout, but... I didn't had the strength to do that. I wanted to take some rest, before going on the next town, and i hope Xanros will be fine... At least, for finding him.
Walking though the tunnel was scary... I didn't had any light, i was touching the walls and let me guide... I heard some noises... Bat, and probably... Little thing on the ground ? ... As soon as i saw light in the tunnel, i was running though it, hoping that's the good way.
After leaving the tunnel, it wasn't the right way, there was no exit, but i was outside, so, deploying my bag and see what i could drink, and take a breath just some minutes...
 

Chapter 2 : The new path.

 

 

30 minutes later...
 
I was still laying on the ground, when i heard some noises though the tunnel, someone was coming, and i didn't had anything to hide my self, i waited. I was scared...
 
<< Hello ? Is there anybody there ? I heard some noises, i was on my way to see my father, come out, i'm not a Team Rock-... Hello you ?
- H-H-Hello, i said.
- I'm Steven, Steven Stone, who are you ? Are you fine ?
- I'm Raprelle... Uh, i'm not feeling great but, don't worry about it.
- Oh, alright. You should see a doctor, it's better than nothing, you know. I saw the tunnel and seems it is blocked... Do you have any thoughts about what's going on ?
- I... It's me. Me and my pokémon, were chased by Team Rocket, and, we got separated, he saved me from them, by hitting the walls with his own strength...
- Nevermind then, i'll take a boat, i hope my father is still doing well...
- Can you help me, M.Stone ?
- Don't be so formal, call me Steven. I'm not a trainer anymore, sadly...
- I'm... I'm doing my best, trying to fight them Steven and... I need some help to do it. Do you want to join me ?
- I'm afraid i can't, they are watching me more than normal trainer, i was a lot powerful for them, that's why. But why are you doing, trying to stop them ?
- That's because, i want everything back to normal again, but, i'm alone now, i was alone before even with my pokémon but now i feel very vulnerable... 
- Wow, you got a pokédex too ? Didn't they noticed you as a trainer ?
- They did, we ran from the woods, though the city, and into the tunnel.
- Can i borrow it a second please ? It's... You know, i'm missing pokémons so much... Just watching it will help me, doing better with my moral... I think you understand that, you're a trainer too...
- I'm not really, i said while standing up, i'm a pokémon.
- What ?
- Watch the pokédex, number 387. It's me.
- How... How did you do that ?
- My pokémon is my trainer, that's why. It happens when i wasn't paying attention, i went into a pokéball a few times now. So, now, are you ready to help me against Team Rocket ?
- But, you're alone, and only level 11, you can't really do anything against us, that's impossible.
- I have Team Aqua on my side, and they want me to contact Team Magma too, and professor Birch, i need him... That's all i need, see Max from Team Magma, and Professor Birch for that my strange thing.
- Okay, i understand... Then, maybe i will help you, but as you know, they are watching me almost everytime, i can't deal with that, but i know somebody who can help you.
- Tell me, please.
- Lanette. I know, that's a name you probably know, she is known in Hoenn as the programmer of the computer, the storage pokémon system. And maybe i have something that should help you, maybe you can use the computer to travel into a pokéball, from a computer to another, i have her number in my pokénav, if you want to try. As you are a pokémon, that should work, no doubt about it.
- So you want me, to get in a pokéball, then travelling into the computer to another computer from someone else's ?
- Yes.
- That's crazy. But i like it.
- At Johto, there are people who still defending their region against Team Rocket, if you can bring Johto's pokémons to here, to help use, we can settle down something and stand, all together, to fight them. What do you think ?
- That's...
- Wow, don't cry for that, Raprelle, said Steven while approching me, holding my shoulders, if it's something that should do, that you can do, then do it. In my position, i can't do anything, the call every morning... Wait, are you on a list or not ?
- No, i'm unknown, but... I wanted to make that revolt, i tried to speak to the gym leader from Petalburg, but he is too afraid to do anything.
- Brice and May are captive at the prison, north from there, in a hideout. If you can bring me a flying type pokémon, i can still teach him how to fly, with that CS.
- But how could i fly without being seen ?
- Well, that's the funny part : it will hold you in a pokéball, and throw you to the hideout, then you need to be able to defend yourself with a some pokémons.
- That's a plan... But how am i going to help Brice or May ?
- Get some pokémons, they will know what to do. After that, you can try to free Birch or Max, it was your goal... Or maybe... Maybe we can think about freeing Birch, hiding Norman, and finding Max, then we head to the prison, Brice and May won't give up if their each family is safe.
- I have so much to do...
- I know Raprelle, but you did bring some hope in my heart, i shall thank you for that.
- Can you do something for me, then ?
- Of course, what is it ?
- Find my heracross, Xanros, and know where is he... It's my... It's my trainer, my best friend... He is really powerful, so you'll not have a lot of difficulties, trying to find him...
- Okay, i will do that, don't worry about Raprelle. I need to get going...
- Steven ?
- Yes ? Said Steven while going back to the tunnel.
- Thanks a lot, i said while hugging him. And uh... Can you help me though the tunnel ?
- Of course, hahaha, don't worry about that. >>
 
He had some very good ideas... And his theory about the computer could work, if Johto is still fighting, i can try to catch some pokémons, and doing the same to get to Hoenn, but i need someone who will help me, and that wasn't gonna be easy, i needed team Magma, maybe they have a computer who is able to store pokémons... I know what to do now.

You though i was dead uh ? ... Nah, just had a new life style...
 
-----------
 
<< There we go, we can leave here, said Steven.
- Thanks again, i better get going. >>
 
As soon as i was in the city, something wasn't... Good. As i saw Steven going away, i felt alone, once again. I didn't wanted to stay very longer outside, i did enter in a random house.
 
<< Anybody there... ? I said.
- Hello, yes, please enter.
- I need some help, finding my way.
- Oh, maybe Wally can help you. Wally ?
- Yes dad ?
- Come here, someone need some help finding something in the region.
- I'm coming...
- Wally was a great trainer once but, he is no longer motivated to continue his dream, so... Go on easy with him, okay ?
- I will sir, i won't stay longer.
- Thank you... There he is.
- Hello... So, how can i help you with ?
- I would like to know, how to get in that mountain.
- Oh... It's a volcano by the way. You need to pass though Mauville, then go up on north, you'll need some courage because, nature have taken a little bit of her rights...
- I heard you were a good trainer, did you knew Brice ? Even May ?
- B-Brice ? That's how you people at Littleroot name him ?
- Wait, what's his real name then ?
- Brendan, everybody call him like that, you ain't from cities, are you ?
- No... I mean, we... We didn't had the chance to catch his real name... We called him Brice...
- Alright, that's nothing. Brendan, and... May ? Yeah... That's her name... They are held prisoners at here, the old hideout of Team Magma.
- Okay.
- Wait, why are you asking that ?
- I was... I was curious, n-nothing else.
- Are you hiding something ? What's your name after all ?
- R-Raprelle.
- ... I think i heard that name, somewhere...
- Alright, i know everything, thanks a lot sir, have a good day, i'm going ! ...
- Wait a minute, i know you !
- Yup, i'm outside ! Bye ! >>
 
I knew Wally. He was sometimes roaming around with Norman, which is Brendan's father, and i saw him a few times. I was... I was a little bit younger than when i met him, it was three years ago before that moment, i think... He was my crush. I'm sorry to say that, i would like to tell that story but... Yeah. I guess... I told him once, that i loved him, but... It was two years ago. Now, i don't like him anymore... I... That's my privacy and i'm telling that like it was normal or something... Wally wasn't nice with me, when i told him about my feels, he was ignoring me, pretending to be strong with his stupids pokémons, talking only to his personal "AGENDA" which, i really hated for so long, and, it did hurt me a lot, i wanted to get my revenge on that kid but now... I don't want to deal with him, even talk to him, but i had to, just to confirm what Steven and Arthur's story about what happened... I know, i wouldn't really tell what i had a few years ago but, after he did ignore me, i had that revenge, even now, i would really like to kick his sorry ass... Oups, pardon me, his behind. But, that's not something i should do, since everyone is scared about the future, and i'm probably the key of everything... Maybe because of that revenge, because i saw many trainers having so much fun with pokémons, having so much battles, and being happy... Maybe when my friend, Dennis, had his Poochyena, i was so mad against everyone, that... I did transform my self as a pokémon to take revenge against them. That's a theory... Alright. I'll continue now. But you should understand my point...
 
After i did leave Wally's house, the rage still trying to sleep inside me, i didn't wanted to saw his face again, but he was running more faster than me, and finally, i saw his face.
 
<< Raprelle, that was years ago, wh-why are you still aggressive against me ? Please ? I'm happy to see you, you know.
- You've been very... You did hurt me... I still can't forgive you for that.
- Understand me, i wasn't aware that you loved me that much...
- How, how can you say to a girl, that she was too pathetic to express her feels to a "great trainer" ? You know what ? You're an as-
- That was past, now i know i have done mistakes, please, forgive me.
- I can't. Go away. It's too late for that.
- Okay... But... Just something else and i won't bother you anymore... Why did you wanted to know, where Brendan and May were ?
- Because i will save this world.
- Oka-WHAT ?
- Don't you dare trying to say anything to Team Rocket, or... You'll see the volcano like you were in it. >>
 
I knew, i would like to apologize, my heart was asking for it... But, i wanted to hate him, for what he did. I didn't have much time to chat, plus i had Mauville to pass though, maybe it's actually safer without Xanros... Sadly, i felt so much protected with him, but less safer than now. I didn't spend so much time in Mauville, i wanted to see the gym but, grunts were patrolling in the city, so, i didn't wanted them to know what i did, last time i saw a grunt... I headed north to Mt.Chimney. There wasn't much people on the way, only normal, no grunts at all... The way was very quiet... Very quiet... But i was walking, quickly. I hope i will make it soon...
 
An hour later.
 
<< Hello... Can i take it ?
- The cable car ? Of course you can. Go ahead. It's free.
- Thanks... >>
 
The route wasn't too dangerous, finally... Taking the car alone... Maybe it's strange... Nobody roaming around here, no random pokémons attacking me... What was really happening ?
Once up there, i knew why... The volcano... It was erupting. I was in the station, and i saw nobody. The cable car did go down, maybe someone wanted to take it... ? But for sure, i wouldn't have time to take it back, the lava was overflowed the volcano, and... I was in a BAD situation here !
 
<< If i don't run now, getting down the volcano, i will be burned alive... 
- Hey you ! Come here, now !
- Who are you ? I said.
- Don't worry about it, even if i'm a grunt.
- Oh-Oh... Okay.
- We need to save our asses now, come on, follow me ! Forget about the cable car, it works only when you want to get up and not down !
- Thanks, i'm coming ! >>
 
... What a nice situation to meet a grunt here... I was following him, i didn't had the chance to catch his name, though... He was running down the volcano, quickly, and i was doing the same, after what, he saw some kind of a puddle, and did cross it by jumping over it, it wasn't that big, but he was skilled, no doubt about it... I tried, but sadly, i wasn't lucky enough, i landed in... I was wet from feets to my head, damn it. After that, he did took a path into the volcano, maybe that was the hideout ? ... I did the same, and finding, it wasn't the hideout, just a cave.
 
<< We will be safe here, it happens sometimes, the volcano is a viscous thing... Are you hurt ?
- No, but i'm wet.
- Okay, hold on, Caninou go ! ... There, Caninou, make a little fire ! ... it will help ya. What's your name ?
- I'm... >>
 
My name to a grunt ?! ... I wasn't that stupid.
 
<< I'm Xenaros. >>
 
RAPRELLE, WE LOST THE SIGNAL, WHY. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THAT NAME, MY GOD.
 
<< That's original, never saw ya on Hoenn... I'm James.
- Nice to meet you James, and thank you for saving me.
- That's nothing, i was with Jessie and a Miaouss, some friends... We are travelling once again...
- Oh, okay.
- We will be stuck here for a moment so... Tell me a little bit about you ? Or maybe you want me to talk about me, i don't know.
- Well... I'm from Johto.
- Oh, interesting, i'm from Kanto, when i knew Team Rocket was controlling Hoenn, i was actually surprised to see the bunch of people who don't have any pokémons now. I'm actually.. Not longer a "grunt", as everyone just called us, i'm travelling with my Caninou.
- Okay...
- You seems to be timid... Don't you ?
- No, no no... I m-mean... I'm not...
- Are you afraid from Team Rocket ?
- NO NO NO PLEASE ! DON'T HURT ME !
- Wow... That was question, i'm... I'm sorry Xenaros !
- ...
- I understand... Did some grunts hurt you before ?
- Yes, they... They wanted to take me to the prison because i wasn't okay with what they were saying.
- I see... Look, you don't have to be afraid of me, i'm not violent with people, i don't like that, you know... When i was young... I didn't get any chance to be my self, you know, kids... They were bullying me and now... I don't wanna hurt anybody, and i don't find it right about Team Rocket controlling some regions but... I'm part of it, i can't do anything more.
- You seems to be someone nice, i said, why are you part of that ?
- Younger, couple of years ago, i wanted to make my self someone proud of the Team Rocket, making my self some money but... With my friends, we ended being more than some simple grunts, many things happened... Purchasing a goal was difficult, we were trying to get a rare pikachu from a lil' boy. As soon as we understood that was too hard, we did forget about it, that was too long... From that, i wanted to find someone. But, i never saw the light of a bright love. I need a rose again...
- Love ?
- Yes... Love is something i'm searching... I saw it once, but it wasn't as red as this rose... It wasn't pure... It was too hard for me, the girl was trying to make me too perfect and... My caninos... Why would i abandon this little dog for that girl...
- Oh...
- Yes, Xenaros, love is hard to find, but i don't lose hope, Jessie saw me more than one time, crying, when i wasn't satisfied with something... She is nice with me, but... I don't think we are made to love each other more than friends.
- Don't be rude against yourself, you are a nice guy.
- You think so ?
- I think so.
- Well... I know it's not a lie but... My self, i don't find what i want to find always, answers, money, love... Even for that, i don't give up on what i do but... Again, the reality is hard... Said James while beginning to cry, i won't everrrrrr find love again !
- It's okay, i said while tapping a little bit his back, uh... Maybe you have qualities, you know... Uh...
- What... Qualities did you find ? We... We don't know really each other...
- You're nice and... You're uh... Poetic, yup, and maybe... A little bit cool too...
- That's... You're a nice person Xenaros, snif, i don't always find my self cool and poetic...
- Maybe that Jessie is someone you should talk... More seriously.
- She is someone i can count on at least.
- Yes then... Talk to her, maybe she can help you with that... And that Miaouss...
- He won't be very helpful.
- Use him to make approaching girls from you, they can find him cute.
- Him ? No way, he wouldn't agree.
- Why ? It's a pokémon, no ?
- No, it is... Miaouss.
- I don't understand.
- He is, a talking cat.
- ... What ?
- He is despair with love too, he did learn a language for someone he loved for, but didn't get any good news after that.
- ... A talking... Cat...
- Jessie and Miaouss must be roaming at Mauville again, but i wanted to find some beautiful flowers for a girl... Like you.
- Uhhhhh, hum... I don't... 
- You reject me ?
- No nonono, i mean, i'm not interested in love... For now.
- I understand...
- James, what i was trying to explain is, you don't have to push yourself every day to find what you are searching for.
- What do you mean by that ?
- What i mean is, you are forcing your true nature to find something that is too early for you, you don't find yourself capable to assume your love for somebody, maybe you should try to be more confident in yourself before that, don't you think ?
- I... How can you know that ?
- I had my own experience...
- With love ?
- Yes... I was ready to love someone, but... He wasn't realizing my love for him, and treat me like shit.
- Hey, that's a swear !
- HE WAS THE WORST TRAINER, I WAS LOVING HIM FROM ALL MY HEART, AND HE DID IGNORE ME, INSULT ME, AND EVEN PUSH ME ON THE VERY EDGE OF MY ANGER !
- Xenaros ! Calm down !
- I... I'm hurt from the inside for so long, i'm... I'm sorry James.
- That's okay, you were really angry for a second...
- To do short, don't expect too much when you love someone, expect if that person you love, is making his, or her best, to love you.
- You seems really sure about that, wow...
- As i said... I had... I had my experience on that.
- Well, thank you for the advice.
- No problem, i will take some rest before going outside.
- Lava will probably go down for hours, maybe days, and it will steam... We will exit this cave just by going down, right here.
- Alright, let's get outside then, i said. >>
 
James was... He was nice, but, that lack of... He needed someone to push him up, like training him to be someone who can make a hard choice within a second. He needed to be more strong. Of course, i wasn't really gonna try to help him, he was Team Rocket, but... I had a goal before, more important than helping socials problems. Once we were going down the cave, the exit was leading on a lil' meadow, near Lavridge town.
 
<< Now our roads split here. What are you gonna do Xenaros ?
- I have something really important to do...
- Okay. I will listen to your advice... About love and stuff... I'm... Just... Thanks.
- Don't worry about it, i have something to ask you, where is nearest prison ?
- Just east from there... Why are you asking that ?
- I want to avoid it, that's all.
- Alright. Can i have your pokénav number ? I... Would like to call you, sometimes, said James.
- Sure, there it is.
- Thanks, have a nice day then, see you later, young lady.
- Cya James, pleased to meet you. >>
 
He was a little bit naive, i wanted to find that prison before going in a computer, then at Johto... But hey, i'm someone who like his life bein' risky.
 
<< Come on Rap', you are a pokémon, you can't be afraid of Team Rocket... You must do it for the whole region, for Kanto and Hoenn... Even a little bit Johto too... Alright, here i come. >>
 
I saw a metallic entrance, it was protected. Once near it, i saw a grunt patrolling, and i did jump on him, and with less noises possible, i did knock him out, and took his clothes. When i was dressed up like them, i was sure to enter in it, i was approaching at the entrance.
 
<< Hello, i need to enter, i have something to do.
- Who is it, and what do you need to do ?
- It's urgent.
- Doesn't makes everything possible.
- I have a... I said while grabbing the grunt knocked out, i have a prisoner.
- Oh, okay, enter then. >>
 
Once i saw his face, i knocked him out too. I was in the base, and i needed to find May and Brendan, they were the ones who knew how to use the computer, much more than anybody in Hoenn. I did continue and i wasn't suspected, that was much more easy than i was expected... The path was going down, there was some lava lakes, and i saw a random entrance in the wall... I did walk though it, and i saw something... Strange.
 
<< So, mister Birch, as you know, everybody isn't gonna suspect our deal now, alright ? Said the hooded guy. >>
 
It was one of the three guys who did capture me... Well, they tried.
 
<< So, now, i would like to know... When are you going to finish this weapon ?
- It takes more times, i'm sorry, said Birch while being threatened by the hooded guy.
- Okay... You'll have 24 hours before i will do something... BAD.
- Don't ! I will make it ! Sorry ! Don't hurt my daughter !
- Good. See you later... >>
 
A new weapon ? What kind ? ... I wasn't sure enough, i did take the same path, to avoid this hooded guy, and pretend i didn't saw, or didn't hear anything.
After going down some stairs, i think i was arrived on the prisons, when i did pass a door, i saw many cages, and i saw May.
 
<< No ! N-N-N-o ! Don't you dare coming taking me somewhere else please !
- Don't panic, i'm not a Team Rocket, i'm a trainer like you.
- You... You shouldn't be there, you know...
- I know, but i'm... I'm a little bit crazy now. I'm going to free you.
- Free me ? For what ? They will find me again, you can't do anything for me, get out of here, before having troubles !
- Don't worry about that, i know troubles. I need you, to use a computer.
- A computer ? Well, there is mine, right here, if you can take it.
- That should be easy... There we go. Then ?
- Then... What do you want to do with it ?
- Stocking.
- Stocking ? A pokémon ? You have one ?
- No, i don't have one, i'm one.
- You're one ?
- Listen, i don't have time to explain, i have a pokéball, and i need you, to catch me, and bring me in the computer, and... Call someone in Johto who can do it, take my pokénav if you need to.
- Wait wait wait... You are telling me that you are a... Pokémon ?
- I don't have time, come on May.
- And how do you know my name ? Who are you ?
- If i give you my name, they can know it, and n-... Actually, i don't care. My name is Raprelle. I'm going to save your sorry little behind and the whole region just because i'm a pokémon and not a trainer.
- That's confusing actually... The pokéball isn't gonna work...
- Try it, but take it, don't make it drop too far from the cage, you'll see.
- Okay. >>
 
She was grabbing the pokéball, and throwing it at me, and i did enter in it. I heard many "WOAW" and "AMAZING" that i didn't count them... I was waiting now to get to Johto... I felt the time really long... Long... LONG... Like there must be hours since i did talk to her... And then, blank. The light was very powerful, and someone was freeing me from the pokéball...
 
<< Raprellllllle !
- Wow ! That's the Hoenn pokémon they send us ? Said a guy.
- I'm sorry, i can't control my roar when i exit the pokéball... Where am i ?
- ... Alright, that's as weird as May says. >>
 
A young man with a gold cap was holding my pokéball. He was a trainer, no doubt about it, and he was looking at me.
 
<< Listen, Raprelle, i never saw any human becomin' a pokémon but... May explain that you wanted to see us, at Johto, and... Why ? Don't you know the actual war that is going on ?
- That's because of that, i'm here, i need some pokémons for Hoenn, saving the population, i have a plan for that.
- Only level 17...
- Sorry if i'm weak, but...
- Don't worry, we can train you, and i have a bunch of CT if you want... That's strange to ask that to a human-pokémon... You're weird.
- I was trying to nice but now you get me on my nerves, little boy. I'm here to save my region, to save the whole population from the Team Rocket, i don't have time to chat with you if you're thinking i should be treated like a pokémon. So, if you want to help me, find, if you don't want, then leave me and bring me back my pokéball, okay ?
- Of course i want to help you, but how would you want to help your people if you aren't as strong as the pokémons you will bring back at Hoenn ? I want to train you and make you more powerful, that's all.
- ... Then, we don't lose our precious time. Professor Birch, our professor, is forced to work on a new weapon.
- Alright, so, if you don't want to lose some times, then...
- The pokéball ?
- You'll go in it, and i'm gonna find a place to train you much faster, trust me. >>
 
That kid was... Serious... Really serious. I wasn't gonna try to tell him he was wrong, actually, i want to be powerful, as Xanros is, to help everyone in Hoenn... But we just have 24 hours to do it, and i'm hoping, that everything is gonna be fine... I miss Xanros...
 
20 hours later.
 
<< Come on Professor Birch... Only 4 hours...
- I know, sir, i know, i'm sorry, i need something, a little thing like this...
- Oh, a microprocessor chip, i will be back...
- No one is gonna exit this room now, i said.
- How did you get here young lady ? I already saw you... Some days ago.
- Shits are going down, settle down or you'll going down too.
- I'm not afraid, and you are gonna be a nice girl and cooperate with me.
- Bring your pokémons or i'm gonna make you cry every words you'll say.
- As i was impressed... COME ON, WEEZING !
- Bring it on ! I said. >>

<< Raprelle 1, your stupid pokémon, 0 ! I said loudly.
- H-H-How... WHO ARE YOU EXACTLY ?!
- The one who will free this world, now, go away before i'm going mad again !
- R-R-Raprelle... Said Birch. >>

What happened in 20 hours ? ... Let me tell ya. Gold, the kid i saw at Johto, he was very smart. Let's get back, some hours, before i kicked the sorry behind of the hooded guy...

19 hours before.

<< Come on Raprelle, beat them !
- I-I will... I'm already at my limit...
- Okay, that's enough, we get back at the center, said Gold.
- W-Why are you training me ?
- You said you needed help at Hoenn, right ?
- Y-Yes... Fu...
- Then, me, the best trainer in Johto, will help you.
- You are the best trainer of this region ?
- You can say even Kanto but... My rival... Red... He is as powerful as me... So it doesn't really count... And he isn't there at all... Okay.
- Why not bringing pokémons from Johto to Hoenn ?
- As you said, Team Rocket have every pokémons of Hoenn in their possessions, expect useless wild one, if you get back at Hoenn with pokémons, you'll be too suspicious, and you said we have 24 hours before P.Birch finish his weapon for them, so... You want to help them in this short of time, you need to work hard, you need to be able to take out almost every pokémons they have.
- That's.... That's smart...
- Of course it is, i did fight them in the past, and i'm not worried. You can take them out if you are well trained, and don't worry about that, i will help you, even if you are very different from a trainer.
- I can't... I can't thank you enough...
- Don't mention it. I will do my best to take care of you for the next hours, don't worry about it.
- Let's continue the training then.
- Even with 10% of your HP ?
- Yes ! Come on, bring it on !
- Haha, i will... You remind me of a bug pokémon i used to know... A Scyther... A little bit fragile but extremely strong... Oh, but i'm thinking about it, i don't know if you can evolve, since you are a pokémon ?
- That's... Wow. Actually, i didn't think about that...
- Maybe an item can help you evolve, since levels don't do everything... Take care of the levels too, maybe it's later...
- I guess...
- Okay, come on, let's get back to work ! >>

And... That's how i did became that powerful, with his knowledge, i knew some attacks, like Brick Breaker, Bulk Up, or even Double-Team, after all that training, i'm feeling as much as powerful as Xanros, even if his level is still higher than mine. After that "past" thingy, back to where we were, Birch was surprised to see me, saving him...

<< Raprelle... How did you made it that far ? And how can you fight pokémons ?
- Professor, don't worry about it. I'm here to save you. I will answer your questions after we escaped that prison, May helped me to get to Johto, she said she had to put me on the storage system of Lanette, and Lanette helped me reaching Johto but... Okay, let's exit this place faster than we can.
- Raprelle, wait a second, you did used the storage system ? Did you ever enter in a pokéball ?
- Yes, why ?
- YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT ?!
- ... Uh... Why ?
- You'll lost a part of yourself if you ever evolve one day...
- Wait... Really ?
- Yes.
- ... Damn.
- Don't ever try to evolve, and take care of your levels, i already saw people like you before...
- Back when we were equals to pokémons, right ?
- That's right, we could train ourselves to fight, now it's only pokémons...
- ... You can't be serious.
- I am.
- ... >>

I did understood something that day... I was really about to fall out on the ground, crying a lot, but... I did. I did understood about Xanros, about many things... What he said that day, did made my whole mind on the pokémons, completely wrong.

I'm going to explain, let's create that part the "what the foop" part. So, Xanros, as he could understand what i was saying, i'm thinking about his evolutions.... As i know, he can't evolve more now, but... He can't speak, and he is a bug thing... What my theory is gonna explain is, maybe he was human before "training" while being a pokémon, and slowly evolve himself... Then, generations after generations, the heracross i did gave the name of Xanros, is far from there. He did lose himself slowly and slowly, and after being well trained, he get a form. That same form, was evolve so much, that he did another generation with a female, and the baby was at the same form as they were, so if the baby is training himself when he will be older, he will evolved again, pushing the form into another limit, and doing the same thing as his parents. The parents couldn't evolve more, since. Then, Xanros, is probably someone, borned from an egg at a form very far from there. That explains everything, i was creating my own generation of pokémon right now, if i evolve, i will change my self into something else, and if i ever had a baby, that baby will have the form i had when i did evolve. That's what Birch was saying when it was dangerous, that did helped me thinking about that situation.

To do more shortly than the whole text, pokémons and humans were the same, but pokémons were humans once.

<< I'm... I'm understanding everything now...
- You ... ? Said Birch.
- Pokémons were humans once...
- What are you saying ?
- What i'm saying is, the "why" humans don't fight pokémons is simply because they don't want to be pokémons themselves. And now... I pushed my self too far from a normal human to be normal again... If i ever evolve one day, i will be something else...
- We need to speak about that later, with Professor Oak, your situation is very strange, maybe you are right, maybe you aren't, but... I need to find P.Oak, bring you with me at Kanto, and speak about that from the beginning to understand everything. Don't worry, we will find a solution at your problem, if you can fight against theses pokémons, then fight, bring hope into many people as you can, for me, i will work slowly into a plan to stop them, the number of your pokénav is the same ?
- It is.
- Okay, then Raprelle, know that, i'm with you at the end, said Birch while shaking my hand, call me if you have any problems.
- I will...
- Now, let's not talk too much and sneak out this base, okay ?
- Stay behind me, professor. >>

Sneaking out was more easy, grunts were still patrolling, but there was a path that we could use to go down into a cave, that can make an exit faster than entering the prison. Once outside, P.Birch said he will get back to a old hideout he used to go, and i needed to save May and make a plan to retrieve Max. That's... I don't have many choices. About that evolving thing... I guess... If i can be more powerful, i will think about it... Even if professor Birch said it was really dangerous. I need to think about it seriously.

<< Raprelle, let's talk later, save my daughter if you can, and her equipement, and... Maybe we will talk, everyone about your thing, if you manage to save Brice too.
- It's Brendan...
- Uh ? They call him like that ?
- Yes, i thought it was Brice too but... Nah.
- Alright. I'm counting on you Raprelle, but... Take care, okay ?
- I will, don't worry doc. >>

I was back at the entrance of the prison, guards were patrolling again, and i needed to sneak in it... Once i did knock out again theses guards, it was more easy to get to May, there wasn't a lot of guards... I did found out her room.

<< May ? It's me, Ra-... May ? Where are you ?
- Surprise ! She's not there, you thought you could sneak into our prison like that, and free whoever you want ?! Said a guy behind me.
- ... Who are you ?
- They call me Adam, but i call my self... Brutal.
- So you're one of theses guys that wanted to capture me, back at Littleroot... I said while facing him.
- Of course, with Jope and Leko.
- What are you gonna do then ? Fight me ?
- Sadly, that's not what i wanted to talk about, right now...
- Then what ? You trapped me in this room by placing yourself at the entrance, what do you want from me ?
- I want you to shut up, and enter May's c-GUH !
- ... What ?
- Hehehe, hello again Raprelle ! Said May holding a pan. It's a nice weapon after all, he won't stand up in a hour, for sure.
- Thanks a lot May.
- Don't mention it, you helped me, couple of hours ago. So, what did you do at Johto ?
- I met someone who's name is Gold, and he did help me getting me powerful.
- Waow, level 46, that's amazing ! Did you bring some pokémons with you ?
- No, but i guess, i said while picking up Adam's pokéballs, you can use them ?
- Let's see... He got a Ratata, a Torchic, which is nice, and a great Weezing... Uhhh... I don't even know why grunts are using a Weezing... Always the same type...
- Okay, get to your dad's house, i need to take care of something... Personal.
- Anything i can help you for or you really want to take care of that something alone ?
- Don't worry about it, it won't be long.
- Okay but... Don't push yourself too hard Raprelle, you look really tired...
- I know, but i m-m-m... Must... I must save Hoenn... Aaaaand...
- Raprelle ! Damn, she is fainting like that !
- I m-must save... Hoenn... Bring b-... Back hope...
- Wow wow wow, slowly Raprelle ! Said May taking me, don't fall like that ! I need you !
- I'm... I'm tired...
- Don't worry, i have something to help you, there...
- Gloup.
- So, how do you feel now ?
- ... What did you do ? I'm feeling better !
- An elixir, your power points weren't so high. Or PP, if you want to know the name.
- Oh, my moves were very... ?
- Probably, that's why you did felt tired.
- But i didn't slept from a day now, how i can't feel tired like the way i were before ?
- When you are in a pokéball, your time, not the time outside of it, isn't the same, 1 hour in your pokéball, equal 10 hours outside of it. Don't worry, that just the feel, it's not like you can spend 50 hours while you wait 5 hours in the pokémon, but... Your time is more slow in it, your body is only affected.
- That's why then...
- If you did train yourself, and during your training, you did enter the pokéball to get in the healing machine, then you didn't really spent 20 hours, but maybe 7 or 8... Understood ?
- Oh okay, that makes sense.
- Okay Raprelle, i follow you, i have my equipment with me. >>

Taking the same path when i was with P.Birch, we did leave the prison, and finally being outside.

<< DAD !
- May ! How are you ? Said Birch while hugging his daughter.
- I'm fine, don't worry dad, thanks to Raprelle.
- Raprelle, i can't thank you enough for what you've done for us.
- Don't... I said while yawning, don't worry about it.
- She is still tired even if her PP were restored, said May, we are going back at Littleroot, Raprelle, if you want to travel in a pokéball, you can. Take this too, that is a awakening.
- What will that do ?
- Awake yourself up, hah, what is that question ? ... Okay, let's leave this place ! >>

May did throw the pokéball at me, and we were travelling back to Littleroot... I took the awakening but, it did worked for some minutes, but i was still tired after all... Once i heard we were at Littleroot, couple of hours later, i knew i could have a goooooood night...

<< Raprelle ! ... Oh, we arrived.
- What was that Raprelle ? Said May, hahaha.
- It's not my fault, it's my roar, sadly.
- Oh, right, my dad isn't here, he did leave for Kanto as soon as he could, he want to speak to Oak about you.
- Okay, then it must be urgent... No ?
- Probably, i don't really know... Arthur is outside the lab, waiting for you.
- Arthur ? Really ?
- Yup, he wanted to speak with you, in private.
- It must be important... See you later May.
- Oh Raprelle, before you leave, said May holding my left hand, ... Thanks... Thanks a lot for saving me.
- Don't even worry about it May. Cya. >>

Once outside, Arthur was waiting for me, like May told me.

<< Hey kid.
- Hey.
- I wanted to know if you were okay because, it must be some days i didn't heard any of you, except today, Birch told me you saved him and his daughter... Did you find Max ?
- No... I didn't.
- Okay, that's nothing...
- You don't really seems okay Arthur ?
- Pat has been captured, and my other guy too, i'm alone now, it's hard to do everything and... I heard about your Heracross, nearby.
- X-X-Xa... Xan... Xanros ?! How ?! WHERE ?! WHERE IS HE ?!
- They did capture him, sadly. But, they couldn't get him in a pokéball, as i heard.
- I'm going right now. I'm gonna save him.
- RAPRELLE ! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING ?!
- I'm gonna save him... I can't let them do anything nasty to my boy, sorry Arthur.
- W-Wait for me ! ... I will go with you !
- If you want to, then it's okay, but... I'm going to be really mad now...
- Please, calm down Raprelle, it's dangerous in that city...
- I don't care.
- D-Don't do anything stupid, Raprelle ! You are the only hope of Hoenn now ! Don't risk yourself ! Please !
- Listen Arthur, i said while looking at his eyes, i'm saving him, and we kick this team out of here, with, or without you... OKAY ?! THEN NOW, LEAVE ME ALONE ! I'M GONNA SAVE HIM !
- J-J... Just... Please... Take care of yourself...
- I will. >>

Xan... Hold on... I'm coming for you... We will be together once again... I will save you, and we will save the world... That's exactly what i did told my self when i did leave Littleroot, but... My mom wanted to have a little talk with me.

<< Raprelle ! Where are you going ? How are you ? And what's all that about ?
- M-Mom...
- So ?
- I'm going to save my pokémon.
- your Xanros ?
- Yes.
- But it's risky out there, please... Sleep here, and we will see that tomorrow.
- AND WHAT IF THEY MAKE ANYTHING DURING MY SLEEP ?!
- CALM DOWN RAPRELLE ! I'm your Mom, not your friend !
- ... I'm sorry, i... It's been just a day I've been separated from him, i can't... I can't live without him, i want... I want everything back to normal...
- Chhhht... Don't cry, it's gonna be okay... But you can't do everything alone, every time... Count on your friends, you did help May, Birch, and you have Arthur with you, as i saw ?
- Yes.
- Then let Arthur come with you, and make things while being calm and not violent, okay ?
- Thanks for saying that, ma'am, she isn't reasonable, said Arthur, sorry to interrupt you, i'll wait somewhere else.
- ... I will Mom, thanks... Thanks for that advice...
- Alright, and if you ever need me, i'm still here... I never told you but, there is something i would have said...
- Like... Like what ?
- Your dad didn't leave you without anything when you were born... He wanted to speak about you when you would have a pokémon... He told me, to say, that... He was a pokémon before, like you.
- WHAT ?!
- Calm down, please... And the thing is... You were born from... An egg.
- WHAT THE HELL ?! ARE YOU SERIOUS ?! IT'S A JOKE ?!
- RAPRELLE ! PLEASE ! IT's... It's not like pokémons, please, it's hard to say that, okay ? ... You were born like a pokémon, Birch were taking care of you before you did exit that egg... I know it's hard to know that, so... Please...
- And you knew that i would become a pokémon anyway, why you didn't tell me anything about it ?
- Professor Birch told me, that you will became a normal human anyway, but... It seems that it didn't turn the way he was thinking at that moment... I was trying to protect you, from being one, but... You did became one all by yourself... He told me you can lost a part of yourself if you ever evolve... Raprelle, please, stop fighting... You... I can't see you becoming a monster !
- My dad was one, how he did turned out ?
- His skin... His face... His body too, he seems so human, but in his inside, after we knew i was gonna have a baby... He left me... In his inside, he wasn't the same anymore, he changed so fast... Raprelle, take care, don't go in the same way as your dad... Fight with Xanros, but don't evolve too much, or you will lose yourself...
- It's too late anyway, i want to save Hoenn, i can't give up now, it's something i couldn't live with... Mom, we will find a solution later, and i will try to do my best to stay myself... Okay ?
- Take care, Raprelle...
- I will Mom. I love you.
- Me too... Be careful on the road.
- Don't worry about it. >>
 
Once i was leaving the town, Arthur was with me, holding 7 pokémons.
 
<< Kid ? You should borrow one of them.
- You heard again my conversation ?
- Hey, i don't want you, to put yourself in danger and making the situation even worse, choose one of them.
- Don't even worry about that Arthur, keep them. I know how i will deal my fights.
- And what if you evolve kid ? What will you DO ?
- I will figure it out. Come on, i want to save my pokémon.
- Alright, but don't complain if you ever have anything nasty from that "thing"... >>
 
I didn't need theses pokémons, i was gonna find a way my self. I won't let me going down, or becoming a beast... Even if it's scares me.
On our road for Rustboro, the "capital of Team Rocket", someone wanted to speak with us...
 
<< Hey... Raprelle, right ?
- Norman ? I said.
- I was thinking... Uh... I'm sorry for what i said last time we met and... I saw you did bring May and Birch and... I want to help you, i want to save my son...
- That will do 36,5$ sir !
- ARTHUR ! ... That's okay sir, i understand, join us, you can borrow one or two pokémons from Arthur.
- Thank you, i wish i had mine but... They took everything, even my hope... But now that i saw how far you goes to beat them, i'm pumped !
- Nice, let's go then ! I said. >>
 
And now we were 3, Norman did borrow a Vigoroth, and a Mightyena. Once again, when we wanted to leave the town, someone wanted to join us...
 
<< Where are you 3 going ? Said Steven Stone.
- S-Steven ? Said Norman.
- Hello Steven, we are going to Rustboro, i'm going to free my Heracross, you're in with us ?
- Sadly, i can't help you, i don't have any pokémons...
- Choose one of mine ! Said Arthur, come on kid ! We are going mad now !
- ... Do you have any metal pokémon ?
- I have Metang i did steal from St-... Oh crap.
- ... No problem, that's nothing Arthur, i'll take it then, hehe.
- Hehe... Sorry kiddo from my past, ya know...
- Don't worry Arthur, i'm okay with that now. >>
 
4... Damn, we were a team right now... Well, and before entering the woods...
 
<< WAIT FOR MEEEEE !! Said Wally.
- Not that bastard... I said.
- He could help us, said Norman.
- He is really that powerful ?
- Yes, you don't know him when he did grow up.
- Fuh... Thanks for waiting for me, i saw you thought the house of my parents... I want to help you !
- Take one of theses 4.
- I'll take the Pelipper and the Altaria then !
- Okay, i will keep theses two then.
- Team, we are going in the most dangerous city of Hoenn, be ready, i said.
- Yes chief ! Said Arthur.
- And what if we... Lose ? Said Wally.
- DON'T EVER SAY THAT WORD, WE ARE GOING IN THIS CITY, TO WIN !
- Calm down Raprelle, wow... Said Norman.
- I don't want to see anyone cry just because it's scary out there, okay ? Let's go. >>
 
We were going to Rustboro, then... We arrived. Once at the entrance, everybody were deploying their pokémons, and we needed to fight our way to the Devon building, and now where is Xanros.
 
<< Mightyena & Vigoroth, go !
- Metang, let's do it together !
- I don't know ya names, go ! ... Oh crap, a ratata, and a seedot, i'm done guys ! Said Arthur.
- Use patience on that seedot Arthur, it's gonna be fine, i'm gonna boost ya ! Said Steven, Metang, use barrier !
- Altaria & Pelipper, go ! ... Let's makes it together, guys.
- Then i should say... Raprelle, go ! ... But i'm already there...
- Rap', if you need some space to rush thought the Devon Building, count on me ! Said Norman.
- We can split up then, me and Norman, we are going to the Devon building, Steven and Arthur, cover our backs, Wally, attack thoses who are too powerful from the skies.
- Understood chief, we are gonna cover you as much as we can, said Arthur.
- Pelipper, use protect ! Altaria, use dragon rage !
- Nice to hear that, come on Norman, we need to go now. >>
 
As our plan was almost perfect, we saw many grunts purchasing us, but stopped by Arthur, Wally and Steven, as we enter in the building, Norman left Vigoroth at the entrance.
 
<< Just in case we don't make it, he will gain some times, come on Raprelle, keep going, nobody is there and it's perfect !
- That's the problem, it's very quiet !
- Maybe they didn't expect us to attack right now... >>
 
After a few stairs, we finally ended up to the main desk, Giovanni's desk.
 
<< Who are you ? Said Giovanni.
- We're here to stop you, Giovanni, nothing is gonna stop us now ! Said Norman.
- Where is Xanros ?!
- Xanros ? That heracross we couldn't contain in a pokéball ? He is in the underground of this building... But what are you gonna do anyway ? There is almost 52 grunts who are coming here, plus, Rayquaza...
- Raprelle, come on, get to the underground, i will keep Giovanni here ! He got a powerful Seviper and i know it !
- I will, thanks Norman, see you soon ! >>
 
And going down of the building, once the underground... I was... I was almost crazy. I saw Xanros in a cage, but there was a problem.
 
<< If it's not Raprelle...
- Wait, don't say you are...
- That's right, said the hooded guy putting down his hood, i'm Brendan.
- HOW THE... YOU'RE THE...
- Everybody wins where money is talking, right ? I'm not here to chat anyway, i'm here to stop you.
- ... As-
- Chhhht, don't worry, everything is gonna be okay if you give up, are you really gonna fight me ?
- I'm not gonna fight you, i said.
- Then why are you fixing me like that ?
- He is gonna fight you.
- W-Who ?
- HERACROSS ! >>
 
Xanros was crazy too, to see me again, he felt i was in danger, and he exploded the whole cage with an amazing force. Once he did drag away the attention of Brendan, i did strike with a low-kick, and he was on the ground.
 
<< Don't ever say me to give up when we don't have a brain, kid, i said while putting a foot on him.
- Heracross !
- That's right, you know what's the best for him ?
- Hera !
- W-W-Wait, you aren't serious ?!
- Come on Xanros, you have my full authorization to do it.
- HERA ! >>
 
... Hehehe, i laugh even today, dammmmmn... Xanros did understood, he did throw a pokéball on Brendan, and the pokéball did capture him. That was... Fabulous.
 
<< You're the best Xanros...
- Hera ! Said Xan while holding in his arms.
- I know buddy, i know... I said while holding him in my arms too. How do you feel ? Are you okay ?
- Heracross...
- Yeah, i could say that... We are gonna escape that city and broke the whole Team Rocket, i wasn't alone to help you, boy.
- Hera !
- Yup, Norman, Arthur, even that f-... Wally... And even Steven, the great trainer ! ... Can you believe it ?
- Cross !
- Come on boy, we have something to do now, they need our help...
- Hera !
- ... Wait, you don't agree with me on that ?
- Hera ! Hera !
- What are you trying to... Why are you giving me the pokéball ?
- Heracross ! Hera !
- ... You can't be serious right now...
- Hera ! Hera ! Heracross !
- Alright... Then if you think you can, then... Okay. >>
 
I did throw the pokéball at Xanros for the first time. That was the first time i felt like a trainer, the first time... He was in it, and i was proud of it, but i felt weird... It wasn't... I didn't wanted him to be in it, but... He did. As i took the pokéball with Brendan in it, we goes up and... At the window in the first floor, and i was feeling like crazy. I broke the window, and i did jump from it, and my roar was beast.

 I did forget about that, but i'm not taking credits for the battle background, i took it from an artist on dA, same goes for the rocket back sprite & the Heracross which is actually a picture. I just did edit / effects / texts, nothing else  :D, cya next time !

Link to comment

Yay, moar story ! ... Yeah i know, you hate that long page now.... But guess what ? ... Nah you'll know it if you read to the end of this one ! Hehe.
 
--------
 
Xanros was... I don't know, i didn't felt being ready to be a trainer... I mean, he did the attacks i said he needed to do but... He wasn't the... Wild... Boy... I knew. Thoses grunts didn't understood how powerful he was, he did beat their asses in no time, that was amazing too see but...  I didn't wanted to do that way. We did dig our way, back to Littleroot, beating almost every grunts we did found, and once we were back at that little city of ours, we needed to hide in Arthur's hideout for a moment, to discuss about our next plan.
 
<< Fu... Fu... I don't know we make it, but, damn, that was fun as hell ! Said Wally.
- I'm not feeling good... I said, i need a moment with Xanros... I will be back.
- Alright Raprelle, if you need anything, just ask, we are just gonna rest for a moment, said Arthur, c'mon Norman...
- Oh, before i forget, here, Norman, there is your son in this pokéball.
- Why did you do that ?
- He did something nasty, you should speak with him.
- I will speak with him when everybody will be ready, i guess we can use what he'll say then, it doesn't need to be private, but... I'll have a chat with him anyway, said Norman.
- I'll be back then, i said. >>
 
Once in the healing room, i did free Xanros. I needed to talk with him...
 
<< Heracross !
- Howdy... Xan... Listen, i don't wanna hide the truth here but...
- Hera ?
- Nah, you did great back there boy, that's not the problem, but... I don't... I don't wanna see you in that pokéball again, i want you to be free.
- ... Hera-cross ?
- I guess you understand what i mean, we don't need a trainer, both you and me, we are pokémons, we can understand each other just by looking in the eyes, so... I was thinking we shouldn't have a bond like a trainer/pokémon one, a classical one i mean, we should have a bond like pokémon to pokémon, right boy ?
- Hera !
- No no no, don't show the pokéball again and giving it to me, i don't feel to be your trainer, boy... I'm more your best friend than your trainer, it's... It's what you need to understand, you can catch me, as well, i don't mind, but i can't catch you, i don't feel to do that, because, you are stronger than me, you can handle a desperate situation into your paws, you have that power, the one who can change the destiny of Hoenn, sadly, i don't have it, i mean, without you, we couldn't do it, imagine that... If you weren't here, i would have been dead from days, drown, if you weren't been here to save me against Team Rocket in that forest, back where you did catch me, i wouldn't be able do help people, if you weren't be here... I wouldn't be here too, even if i wouldn't be in the water, drown or sad stuff like that, i would have cry in my room, because i couldn't find the pokémon who wanted me... It's something you need to understand, i'm not the hero here, i'm just... I'm just sorry.
- Heracross.
- Listen... Maybe we just need to do, like we did before i did catch you, alright ? Maybe that's for the best.
- Raprelle, i did listen, again... But know that i'm sorry, alright ? We... Hum, we were listening to be honest, that hideout isn't that big you know... Said Arthur.
- It's sad of how you did come in this situation, you were actually happy a few minutes ago, said Norman.
- I just feel i'm happy to be a pokémon, but not a trainer, that's all...
- Your Heracross love you for who you are, not what you are, Raprelle... Said Steven.
- I guess so...
- Think about him like a friend, and he will do the same, don't worry about it too much, even if he can understand a part of what he is trying to say, you have to carry on. You need to know that, if you want your bond with him to be like you said, a couple of minutes ago, alright ?
- I will Steven but... It's hard, i mean, you guys doesn't mind to be trainers, and making pokémons obey, but, i mind, i'm... I'm sad to think he is almost a puppet when i'm the trainer...
- You're special, kid, i give you that... But hey, life isn't that easy, even on a boat !
- Can i talk to you a minute Raprelle ? Said Steven. >>
 
I did leave Xanros free, in the healing room, and we did chat in another room, more secured, and watched if nobody was hearing.
 
<< Explain me, with a little bit of accuracy your problem, Rap.
- Alright... i'll try to do simple... It's hard to say things like that...
- I know, i'm here to feel you a little bit better... Go ahead, i will keep that as a secret.
- The problem i have to deal with is... I doesn't feel pokémons like the way i did feel them before i went in the water, and being saved by Xanros. I feel them to be the friends we, humans, needs everyday, and we are using them, making them battle, and... I don't feel that right, they deserves better than that.
- I understand your point Raprelle but... They don't complain, they likes that...
- And what if i don't like to see them fighting because i told them too ? I'm a pokémon myself, i exactly know that feel, i love to fight, but if someone is telling me what to do, then i don't feel good, and i'm doing bad. That's why i don't like to see Xanros, obeying what i say, like he was a puppet, it's not right, he was every time, doing what he felt right, but in that huge battle, he did what i wanted to do, like a queen or something, and he wasn't free about it.
- Alright... I understand then.
- Do you really understand ?
- Some people are like you, doing this way with pokémons... Humanity were doing the same way before, maybe you know that...
- Pokémon and human were equal ? That what you want to say ?
- Yup... That part of our history. If you feel that way then... Fight with him, at his sides and not behind him, like everyone is doing.
- That... That's where is other reason i was a trainer for a moment... My mom and P.Birch, told me... If i evolve, i would lost a part of my self...
- Raprelle, you should know something about it, evolving is in the way we want to.
- What do you mean ? I need to evolve in the way i want ?
- No, what i mean, if you think every time that evolving is bad and will hurt you, you will finally being hurt on day or another if you ever evolve, don't think about it, let the nature do the things it needs to.
- So... I just need to not care about it then ?
- Yes.
- Like it was a normal thing ?
- Of course.
- And what if it goes bad ?
- Then the nature wouldn't be that way without a reason, be yourself, don't torture your mind to much about that, if you are a pokémon, that's for a reason, and if you evolve, that's for the same reason...
- Thank you.
- No problem Raprelle, if it makes you feel better to hear that, then... Be happy... Said Steven while leaving.
- Wai-Wait ! I wanted to say you something...
- What is it ?
- You're like the big brother i have ever wanted to have.
- Oh... That's cute then, he said while panting my head. Come on, the others are waiting. We need to talk with Brendan too. >>
 
That was actually the first time, i said something directly from my heart... I wasn't sure at first but... That's a feel you can't forget, like something written on your body, like a scar... That's something you can't almost forget in your entire life... Almost... Because if one day that scar doesn't exit anymore, then... You found things like this, being a normal thing.
 
<< So, where is Brendan exactly ? I said.
- Norman is talking with him at the moment, kid.
- Oh, okay...
- Raprelle ! You're here, i was outside for a moment, said Wally, can i talk to you for a minute ?
- Uh... Sure Wally...
- Go easy with him Rap, said Steven while whispering at my ear.
- I will. >>
 
Steven did... I mean... He did help me being less angry against him, about what i said before, that he was the big brother i have ever wanted to have... My wound on my heart weren't that open from before, and... I think i was ready to take a new start with Wally, as a new friend, only.
 
<< Raprelle, i think i did understood what you said last day.
- Uh... What i said ?
- The words i said to you, years ago... Like you were pathetic and all... And... I wasn't aware about theses words to be that powerful against you so... I really want to apologize, and make a new start, i know i was stupid but... That's the past and things i've done before... I'm not proud of them ! So... Will you accept my apologizes ?
- Yes, i will accept them but... Don't expect me to love you like i did before, now you're just a simple friend, nothing else. I love someone else anyway...
- Okay, thanks a lot Raprelle !
- Don't mention it... Oh, i got a call on my pokénav, talk to ya later.
- See you around ! >>
 
Daaaamn, is it a feel train right here or what ? Steven, then Wally and now... J-James ?!
 
<< Hey... Xenaros, right ?
- Oh, hello James.
- How are you doing ?
- I'm fine and you ?
- I'm... I'm great.
- You don't seem great...
- I... Jessie and i aren't friends anymore...
- What ?
- I talk to her, like you said, and... Things got messy... At first, it worked, we want to try out a new type of relationship, like boyfriend/girlfriend but... It ended up bad. I wasn't ready at all to do my best for her, and she had enough of me, she was tired to see me like i wasn't capable of anything, i was doing everything wrong, that was so b-
- James...
- Look... You were right, i'm not confident my self, i need training, i need someone who can help me getting Jessie back as a friend, if possible... Without her, how am i gonna continue to do stuff ? She is my best friend and even my co-worker !
- You should apologize yourself about discussing your problems and maybe trying to be more... Think about a Nidoking ! ... I said while thinking about Birch's words about me, think about it seriously, about how it act and how it strikes, it's a goal you need to be the same, like you can strike strongly, and have an assurance of what you're doing, alright ?
- Like making tough choices, being more strong and fat ?
- Forget about fat and you're good.
- Well.. I will try.
- If you ever need to talk to me, don't forget i'm here for you.
- Thanks a lot, i will do that... Senpai.
- Hey ! I'm more younger than you, don't say that !
- Sorry. See you later Xen-
- Oh i wanted to say before, i'm... My name ain't Xenaros.
- ... What ?
- It's Raprelle. I was scared last time about you... Now i feel i can trust you.
- Well.. Thanks but... You shouldn't have lied for that... It's nothing, i understand your point anyway. I would have done the same... See you later !
- Cya... >>
 
All aboard the feel train, because now it's Arthur's turn !
 
<< Hey... Kid...
- Yup Arthur ?
- So... How are YOU doing ?
- I'm doing better now...
- I mean, about your feels, with your pokémon...
- Oh, well... We will do as we did before it happen. That's the best solution.
- Right... You know, i never had a child before, and not a wife, but... I'm almost 32 years old now... I had some girlfriends, and stuff... Not serious one, ya know...
- You prefer your team over than that, right ?
- Yer... That's the best option but... i'm feeling that one day or another, i ain't gonna continue being the leader.
- Really ?
- I think about having kiddos, a wife, and a good house... Ya know, it's because of ya i want that now.
- Seriously...
- Yup... I mean, you've done mistakes, but you made greats things too, and that's what i like in kids, they can be amazing sometimes...
- Huh, that's a reason, i guess...
- So... What's your plan now ?
- Uh... From when i'm the chief now ?
- Hey, you were always been the chief, you were the one who wanted everybody to watch because wanted to bring hope !
- ... Right... Next plan is... Going in Mauville, that's the second big city, and if we free it, then... We will have a good start... Maybe i shall go alone...
- Alone ? Don't imagine things like that girlie, that is dangerous out there !
- Arthur, tell everybody to get ready tomorrow... Okay ? I'm gonna sleep, and we will figure out a way to do it.
- Okay chief, if you think we can do it without a plan... Have a good night kid.
- Good night Arthur, i will bring Xanros with me. >>
 
I wasn't ready to do a raid again... I had something else in the mind... I did drag Xanros in my room, by taking his paw with my hand, and my mother were happy to see me once again with my heracross... I wasn't that happy anyway... Once in the bed, he was sleeping on the ground, and... I was ready for what i had in my mind.
 
7 Hours in night time... 4 A.M.
 
​... And there we go. I was gonna strike at night, alone, scouting the city without taking any risk... It's dangerous, i know, everybody know that, but i can't help my self, and do something without us, i need to be free sometimes of what i want to do or not, it's my life after all. I wasn't feeling good without Xanros... After all, i had... I had something in my heart for him, he had a place and... I don't want to feel weird or not feeling good because of him, i want to have our relationship, before i did capture him... It was something i wanted back... In the woods, i was going to Mauville, without telling anyone, without being noticed... I took an hour, just to get to Rustboro, and sneaking to the tunnel... Once in it, it was already 6 A.M, and there was no going back... I did dig my way in the tunnel, Team Rocket destroyed the rocks that was blocking it, but i didn't have my flashlight to see in it, so... I took more times than i was noticing, and once outside, it was already day, and the sun was rising... It was 7.31 A.M.
 
I was sure that at the second the sun would touch my room, Xanros would wake up, and if he doesn't find me, then he will cry or something like that, and everybody will know that i'm no-longer here for no reasons, and i would need to explain my self about what i wanted to do, so i ran a lot to get at Mauville city in some minutes... And i saw something bad. I did hide my self behind the gym.
 
<< Everything is ready for 12 P.M ?
- Yes cap'n, but we couldn't find Brendan, we needed him to protect the weapon.
- Birch didn't finish it but, our engineers did great, now we can use it, as they said...
- But, what will it do cap'n ?
- It will put people who been touched by the weapon, in a pokéball, as long as we reload it, it should be fine.
- Oh, okay... Did we test it yet ?
- Yes, it works.
- Alright captain, then why do we wait to use it ?
- It works because of the sun, solar panel right here, need some energy, we will store the energy that the sun is giving us, and using it to fire with that weapon.
- It's almost as big as a house...
- Those rebels ain't gonna see comin', that's the most important thing.
- That's a good idea cap'n !
- Let's protect it by now, and we will use it as soon as we can. >>
 
As i was thinking about the big difficulty that we will got if we strike without being prepared, someone did interrupt me.
 
<< You, follow us, now, said a Meowth.
- Wut ?
- Chhht, just do as we says, alright ? Said a lady with pink hair.
- Heyyy, Raprelle, it's me James.
- What's going on ?
- We need to talk but... In private you know, can you do what we want you to do ?
- What do you mean ?
- Like we make something totally fake, just for the show, so we can take you with us in somewhere safe to talk about what we want, okay ?
- Alright James...
- Okay, we are comedians like 100%, don't worry. Jessie, begin please !
- OH, A SPY, OH MY GOD, CAN I BE SURPRISED ?
- What's going on grunt ?
- OH CAPTAIN, WE CATCH A SPY, SEE, OH MY GOD, Said "Jessie" while taking me.
- OH NO, YOU DID CATCH ME, I... I GIVE UP, IT'S TOO MUCH.
- WE NEED TO STOP HER, OH, TAKE THAT ROPE, WOW. IT'S VERY SECURED.
- DAMN IT, I CAN'T MOVE NOW, OH I'M DONE, NO PLEASE NO.
- OH WE GOT HER, WHAOW, Said the Meowth.
- GIOVANNI IS GONNA BE HAPPY, YAY, Said James, WE NEED TO ASK HER SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SPAGHTT-
- James you stupid piece of... Said Jessie while facepalming herself.
- ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS DOING ! YES !
- Alright, take care of the spy then, don't forget about making a report of the situation... Said the captain.
- YES CAP'N ! Said all threes.
- I'M GONNA WHINE, DAMN IT I'M A BAD SPY.
- OH YOU TALK TOO MUCH, THERE, said James while gagging me.
- OHMF, NFO, C'N T'FLK, i said while exaggerating.
- NICE, LET'S GET TO OUR HIDEOUT NOW.
- You're are all three clowns... But anyway, see you later.
- SEE YOU LATER CAP'N, Said James. >>
 
While they were moving like crabs, we did exit Mauville and going in their hideout, once in it, they were laughing a lot, and i was a little bit too.
 
<< I hope that wasn't too much... Said James, his face was priceless, like a moron !
- Ya know, he is so stupid that he haven't noticed that we weren't supposed to be there, said Jessie.
- Now that's done, how are you... What's your name ? Said the meowth.
- Rmp'l.
- Sorry, there... That was a good show, we are comedians 100% like i said ! Said James while ungagging me.
- I saw that, damn, that was... Pfff, it did blows my mind... Seriously, i hope that wasn't too obvious... It's Raprelle by the way.
- Let's talk seriously now... Do you know why we did drag you there Raprelle ? Said James.
- Because you need me, right ? ...
- Yup, we need you because that big weapon is gonna block the way at Mauville and our car can't pass it like that ! Said Jessie.
- No, she is joking, let me tell ya by my self... You never saw a pokémon talking right ? Said Meowth.
- No... Didn't saw any... Why ?
- Right, the real reason is because...
- We hate what Team Rocket have done in Hoenn right now ! Said Jessie & James at the same time.
- Wow... Really ?
- Yes, really. We can't see that kid with that pikachu from days because he wasn't trying to go there because it was too dangerous... Ya know, he is stupid and stuff... Said Meowth, we could use your help, since James did explain us that you were someone we can trust, and plus a civil... We have some... Bombs... We can't put them, if anyone saw us, but you can, and place them on this stupid weapon.
- Actually, i'm more a chief of the rebels, Norman, Wally, Steven Stone, and even Arthur, Team aqua leader, we did fight our way at Rustboro, and we wanted to take Mauville, raiding the city, and blocking Team Rocket from it, then making a base and bringing more people with us. Unless you're in ?
- What do you think James ? Said Jessie.
- Raprelle is someone you can count on, then... Yes, we can help you, as long as your friends doesn't attack us and let us capture that kid's pikachu.
- Fine, you have that deal...

- We need to wait a hour... You know, not to be suspected for anything... Said Jessie. We gotta wait here.

- Why not talking about each other ? How can you speak Meowth, for an example ? I said.

- Uh... I did learn the language for one of the most beautiful creature in this world and... It didn't turn out good... Ever since, i had crushs on some pokémons again but, it wasn't that good anyway...

- Talk about you Raprelle, you never did, said James.

- Me ? But... I'm not that interesting... You know...

- I don't care to be honest, you can go ahead Raprelle, said Jessie.

- Well... Before i begin, i'm sorry James, if i... Did lied to you...

- That's nothing, you were protecting yourself, i understand...

- Well, then... I'll tell the day i had my first pokémon... >>

 

And... You know a part of my story, you know now, you, reader, why i did talk about the past of all of that... Now, i'm thinking, and... I don't know how it will go... About the raid, and about Hoenn's future.

 

<< Oh my... So, that's the day you had ? And the next day too... That's how we met each other, back on the volcano... Damn, Raprelle, poor girl... Said James, you didn't had a easy life theses days...

- I never had a easy life, i wish i could but... An easy life could be boring, so i won't ever trade my last days with anybody, they are mine, and... Even the worst and the best... They were the best days i had.

- See, you're not a non-interesting person, you're someone amazing, told me Jessie.

- ... You... You're honest ?

- Yes ! 16 years old, taking care of the future of Hoenn, didn't had any experience with pokémons before, and being born from an egg... You are someone special ! Said Meowth.

- Yes... I guess so... Thank you for theses words... It's been a few hours now... Can we exit the hideout ?

- ... Oh damn, yes, 4 hours you did explain only some days... How did you remember them that clearly ?

- This is the reason, it's my dairy, i got it since i was 10...

- That's cuuuuuuuuute ! Said Jessie while looking at it. >>

 

 

 

Chapter 3 : The future is scary

 

 

 

 

We did exit the hideout... That was so calm... It was 11:35 A.M... I'm still surprised my friends didn't search me... I was a little bit upset about it... I mean, we wanted to raid but... Why there wasn't any of my friends in the city yet ? ... Since it will be too late and the weapon will be ready, i need to do it, as soon as i can, James, Jessie and Meowth would be there if anything would be dangerous... I guess.

 

<< The captain said it will be ready at 12 P.M, i need to go for it !

- We will watch out for them, count on us Raprelle, said James.

- Thanks, where are the bombs ?

- There ! Said Meowth.

- Nice, i'll go make a boom then... >>

 

... It anything goes bad, dear diary... Good bye... Good bye Xanros... Good bye Steven Stone, Arthur, Professor Birch, May, Norman... Mom... And even that shitbird Wally... Good bye the world... I hope i'll do it fine...

 

I was running, wearing the bombs... They were just like glue i could stick on what i want to explode... Should be easy... I was still running, seeing the weapon being charge in a minute, i couldn't help my self but to save this world... That i loved. To hell my life, let's live the rebels !

 

<< The spy ? But what does that mean ?

- In your face captain stupid, i said while sticking bombs, you better run now !

- WHAT ?! BOMBS ?! NO NO NO ! GRUNTS, GET HER ! WE CAN'T LET HER EXPLODE OUR WEAPON !

- In your dream, approach me and i will explode it ! ... Don't ever try me !

- Chief !

- COME ON, GRAB HER ! STOP HER RIGHT NOW !

- If you do, boom, i said while leaving the weapon, don't test me, go away right now ! ...

- Slowly girl, don't ever do that, you don't know what it means... Slowly...

- Late, i said. >>

 

And now... It's gone, their weapon is gone, but... I was gone too, running the fast i could ever do... I said James, Jessie and Meowth, claping their hands and smiling, i was too, running like a crazy to the north... Once i saw the desert, i knew i would be safe, they couldn't search in it. After in it, i was still running, but something bad did happen, a hole on the ground, hidden by the sand...

 

<< DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN ! WHAT'S THIS HOOOOOLE ! I'M FALLING ! >>

 

Long enough to be very scary... Once i did reach the ground, blackness. I did hurt my self very badly. I lost consciousness.

 

--------------

 

Yup, that was a story told to the new friends of Raprelle, by herself, and now... Will the future will be that scary ? ... Only her diary will say that ! See you next time :)

Hey... let's continue that story !
 
------------
 
6 hours later.
 
H-Hello ? ... I was still alive... But... I was in the worst shape i had ever been... I couldn't move an inch, i was stuck, and after being fully awake, my pokénav was ringing. With the little amount of strength i got, i did respond to the call.
 
<< H-... Hello ?
- Raprelle ?! Where are you ?! It's been like 7 hours we are searching for you in whole Hoenn... Well, "we"... Wally, Norman, Steven... I can't exit my hideout, said Arthur, how are you ? Where are you ?
- I'm... Don't... Don't even... Don't worry about it.
- No... I'm worried actually, you would have said something at least... Norman saw at Mauville a strange thing exploded, this morning by some townies... Did you ? It's in the same city we were ready to strike ?
- It was me... Yes... I did.
- I told you not to go alone Raprelle ! ... And you didn't say if you are okay or not, where are you ?
- I... I told you... I told you not to worry about me... Do the raid... Stop them now at Mauville, get the others annnnnnd...
- Wait wait wait, you want us to strike without you ? Your heracross was going mad this morning, the whole city heard him, crying, he is searching you in Hoenn too, he was so sad that he did break many stuff out there, Raprelle, we need you, you can't go around like that !
- X-Xan...
- Come on, say where you are...
- I... I can't, i'm lost somewhere... I did run from Team Rocket after i did explode their weapon... They... UGH... Damn it... They did purchase me to the desert... Then... Blackness and AW ! ... I'm hurt badly Arthur... Please, save Mauville, we... We will figure it out where i am, alright ? Plan... P-Plan don't change, come on. Do.. Do it for me.
- Kid... We will but... If you're in a bad shape, just... Why would you want us to take the city THEN save you ? It's illogical, we should save you first right now ! Your Xanros, we don't know where he is, maybe he ran crazy in cities, beating people up, maybe he did something else, come on Raprelle, we come to save you, with or without your will.
- Fi-Fine. Search... Search the desert, i ran into a pit and... AHWHHH !
- You're not doing good kid, hold on, we are coming right up, i told the others and we will save you.
- Thanks... Thanks for not being angry about... About this morning.
- I understand you wanted to probably spy the way we wanted to go together or maybe you wanted to play the hero but, we will talk about that together this time, we talked about Brendan this morning a little, he wanted to have a chat with you, since you're the leader.
- I will...
- Hold on tight, we will try to see your Xanros on our way, i will see if i can have some medical supplies too... Are you really in a bad shape ?
- I... I can't move my legs and... My left arm hurt a lot... I'm in a pitch blackness, i can't see a damn thing, but i think... I'm hurt in the whole body, i did break something too and...
- Alright alright, then i will have a first aid kit or something, hold on kid, see you soon !
- Cya... >>
 
My pokénav could make a light... But i saw some blood... I was hurt very badly, and i was on the sand, as i saw... But at top of the cave, there wasn't any light, maybe the pit did fill itself ... ? ... Me and my fucking logic... Why did i wanted to scout alone ? Why did i explode that weapon without any help ? Why... Why am i that stupid... Now, i'm paralyzed in this cave, alone, in the darkness, full of sand, hurt from head to feet... Why am i still trying to do everything only by myself... While i was thinking, my pokénav was ringing again...
 
<< Raprelle ?! It's Steven, Arthur told us, i'm the closer one from the desert, i'm coming, do you have any idea where you did fall in the pit ?
- St-Steven... I did enter the desert from the south... If it can help you finding me...
- Alright alright... Your Xanros is fine, he is with me, don't worry about it, my experience with pokémons is large enough that he could understand my position with him
- Heracross !
- Sadly, he want you so badly... We are coming, hold on Raprelle, with have some stuff to rescue you, Lanette did help me on the way.
- Are you... Are you flying right now ?
- Uh... Your heracross can fly... Right ? You didn't know that ?
- X... Xanros...
- No ? ...
- No, i... I didn't know that... He could barely fly, a few days ago...
- ... Damn, he is so damn pumped to see you again then... Alright Raprelle, hold on, i will recall if i can't find the pit. Just... Don't move, and don't do anything else !
- I... I will. >>
 
Xanros... He did make me thing the same as the Meowth i saw, from Jessie & James... He did learn the language only for someone special... Xanros... Xanros did learn to fly only for me... I was speechless, i didn't tried to move, didn't tried to say anything, i was... I was thinking and laying... Crying... Having a headache... How can i be that terrible ? How... Why did i really tried something that stupid... My friends, i didn't counted on them to do something like that, i was trying to do that alone but in the end, i could do it with my friends, even with Xanros, that would be hard but... They knew how to do it too... I'm stupid. I'm the worst... In the entire world.
 
<< ... Maybe i should light up the "room" just to know where i am exactly... The hell ? It's... I can't see from there but it seems to be a sketch of a pokémon... Where did i fall out exactly ... ? ... I hope... I hope Xanros see me soon...
- Raprelle ? Did you close the call yet or not ?
- N... No, i thought you did ... ?
- Right, we are at the desert right now, do you have any ideas of the last thing you saw before falling ... ?
- Many sands... It's hard... Maybe... A rock, big enough... It's size is probably the same as Xanros... Probably.
- I know one, come on Xanros, follow me !
- Heracross !
- He is really amazing... Your heracross could do anything for you...
- I... I know... He love me more than anybody... And i love him too.
- Now we are at the rock... Can you make some noises or something ?
- My... My head hurt a lot but i'll try to say something very loudly, try to hear it... HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPP !
- Got it ! We heard you ! Say something again !
- XANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS !
- GOT IT ! We found the pit... Damn, that's deep... You did fall a lot ?
- ... Yes.
- Okay, we are going down, i'm closing the call.
- Okay Steven...
- Heracross !
- I... I hear you boy... Come...
- Raprelle ?! We are coming !
- There you go... I'm here !
- Saw ya, it's pitch black in here !
- I don't have any light...
- I do, here... Oh my god...
- W-What ?
- You did hurt yourself a lot...
- R-reall... Oh no... Oh my...
- You're covered by blood and... Damn... Okay, we need to fix you.
- HERACROSS !
- Calm down boy... I said, i'm... I'm fine... And...
- Don't say many things, keep your strength to stay awake... There is something pokémon can use to be nice again with a little bit of time... Do you want to test it ?
- What is it ?
- It's a full restore but... I don't know it will fix you that easy... I'm gonna put some bandage on your legs and your arms, your wounds are still open and you are losing some blood...
- ... Da... Damn it... Steven, look i'm AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW !
- Sorry, it was something to avoid that your wounds are infected, i could have say something but... Keep speaking.
- I'm so sOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRYYYYYYY !
- That was the arms this time, my bad. Keep up.
- I... I was stupid enough to scout the city and take a h-huge risk... Fu... I was scared that... if we got together... That anything random could ruin our... Our attack.
- Take a deep breath, that will hurt now.
- UGHH ! ...
- Alright, your legs are done, now the arms...
- Did... Did you understand what i... What i said ?
- Yes... I mean, that's logical, you wanted our attack to be the safest as possible but, it didn't tuned out to be the way you wanted, right ?
- Y-Yes, exactly.
- Okay... and i'm done with your arms... I guess the rest isn't very bad, will take a good care if we find a doctor... I'm not a doctor myself so... Take that full restore anyway, it will help you a bit.
- I'm... i'm feeling better but... I still can't move my legs and my left arm, i'm feeling them, but... I can't.
- Then don't, keep your strength.
- Hera ! Said Xanros while taking me into his arms.
- B-Boy... Slowly... I know you were worried, but... You need to know i'm sorry, i was stupid again...
- Heracross !
- Maybe he want to hold you in his paws and taking care of you while you recover... ?
- I... I guess so, he can do it anyway... I saw something strange in here...
- I never so this kind of picture to be honest... Do you ?
- No, didn't saw anything like that..
- it's like someone did draw that pokémon on the wall to say something... It's... It's an ursaring, i guess... Tall, and a bear... No doubt.
- That's still... Weird.
- Yup, but... We need to find you a doctor, that will wait.
- And what if their is something important ?
- Don't waste your time while disco-... WOW, THAT'S... THAT'S A ROOTPITEN ! A RARE ROCK !
- ... See, there is something interesting in here...
- Alright, alright... But don't complain if you hurt yourself more, i will take a little rock of that Rootpiten, that will help me in my research... 
- There is something right here, like a entrance...
- Wait... Oh, you're right there is a strange entrance... Don't look at me like that...
- I was right, hehe... I said.
- Hera !
- Even boy agrees with me... Adventure is always interesting Steven, know that !
- I'll give you a point for that but only this time...
- ... It's like a pyramid right now...
- Maybe there was a pharaoh or something in the past, a old ruin of his tomb... Who knows ? At this point, nobody did go there to find that, we would have known...
- ... There is actually a tomb, right here !
- Really ?! Amazing ! ... Maybe it's an old civilization ? With pokémons ? Amazing...
- Yeah... Maybe... Come on Xan, take me closer to that tomb !
- Hera !
- We are gonna see what's in here... Okay Steven ?
- You open it or i do ?
- ... Do i looki like i can ?
- I'll do it then... PFFFT ! IT'S HEAVY !
- Xan, put me down for a second, help him...
- Heracross ! Said Xanros while doing the best he could after putting me down, HERACROSSSSSS !
- FUUUU ! ... Damn it, maybe it was celled from centuries... R-Raprelle ? ... There is a... A pokéball... And a corpse... Like a pharaoh.
- Boy, take me up, i wanna see that now.
- Hera !
- ... That pokéball... It looks like gold...
- Do you mind if i try to open it ? We don't know if there is any pokémon...
- Xanros, i want you to... Or... You know what ? Do what you feel's best Xanros.
- Hera ! Said Xanros while putting me on a rock and being ready to protect me.
- At 3, i will free it, 1... 2... 3 ! ... Hey, it's not opening ?
- Let me try...
- There, take it.
- 1... 2... 3... I'm freeing it ! >>
 
A huge pokémon were free from the pokéball, it was...
 
<< It's... It's an Tyranitar... Said Steven... Hold on, i'm... I'm not sure he is hostile...
- Xanros... Be careful, try... Try to speak or i don't know with him... We don't want any... Any battle.
- You don't seems to be good Raprelle... We really need to get out of here now...
- TYRANITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR !
- WOW ! DAMN ! Said Steven, RAPRELLE ? A... Can you control it or not ?! You did free him !
- I... I don't have any control on him...
- HERACROSS ! Said Xanros while facing him.
- It's not good, he seems really angry, try to catch him again, we will figure it out why he is here and...
- TYANITAR !
- HE IS GONNA BLOW THE CAVE !
- X-Xanros...
- Heracross ! Said Xanros again, while holding Tyranitar.
- St-Steven, Xan is gonna try... Try to gain some times... We need to go...
- Can you walk ?!
- No, i can't... Sorry.
- Hold on ! Said Steven while taking me, there, hold tight to me, we need to leave this place as fast as we can, do you have any ideas where we did enter this room ?
- R-Right here.
- Alright, just hold on, we are gonna leave this place, and meet a doctor... I knew that was a bad idea...
- You... You did forget your rock, Steven...
- Because you think my rock is more important than you ? Are you crazy ?! ... Try to call Xanros, we won't make it without him !
- X-Xan... Boy... Come with us, leave Tyranit-... Xanros ? What are you... Are you holding him in his pokéball ?
- Heracross !
- ... It's full... I can't believe it, said Steven, how did he make it ?!
- I told you... It's... It's a trainer, not a pokémon, he shoud never be in a pokéball... Never.
- Right, are you still alright or... Do you want to continue exploring this cave ?
- I'll be fine Steven, i'm just... Tired... Thanks again for asking... You can put me here, Xanros will take me again...
- Leave him a rest, i can hold you if you want, he... He did saved us.
- Okay... Can i try to walk ?
- You really look bad, do you think this is a good idea ? ... You need a doctor Raprelle, don't be stupid... Come on.
- N-... No.
- Why not ? Do you really think you can keep up like that ? You lost a bunch of blood before, remember ? You can't regenerate yourself like that, even the best items can't heal the humans... We are still more fragile than pokémons...
- I SAID NO. WE KEEP UP, OKAY ?!
- Wow... Hey, i could let you there alone if you want, why are you angry like that for no reasons ?!
- Because... I'm sorry. I just... I'm just thinking this place can provide something good, to help us in our journey against Team Rocket... I... I just want everything back... At normal.
- You know this can't won't be normal again, you did become a pokémon, and many memories will keep up in our heads, this isn't gonna be the same...
- What do i have to do then ?
- Nothing... Stop trying you can change everything like that... You can't save the entire world just by defeating a group of nasty people... Said Steven.
- But i want to, i want to save the entire world, why would you think i can't ?
- Because you are still young and you don't know how to deal with things for the best... Raprelle, what i want to explain is... Just save Hoenn at the moment, with us, together, and you'll understand how hard it is to do that.
- Okay... Then i trust you... Where is Xanros ?
- I dunno, i saw him with us some minutes ago... Xanros ?!
- Chhht... I think i did listen some noises... At our left.
- Okay, let's go >>
 
Steven wasn't someone bad... He was trying to make me think about the reality... I was dreaming, probably, when i said i wanted to save the entire world... When we were moving to the noises, we saw Xanros... Sad.
 
<< B-Boy ? What's going on ? ... Steven, i will stand up, i need to... I said while leaving his arms, Boy ! Are you okay ?! Xan ! ...
- Easy Raprelle, easy, don't walk too much or you'll fAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL ! ... Said Steven while holding me, see, you did fall !
- I don't... I don't wanna see him like that... Xanros, talk to me ! I said while holding his back with the help of Steven.
- Hera...
- I'm gonna see what's going on, stay like that Raprelle... 
- Xaaaaaaaaaaan... Talk to me ! I don't... Why are you saaad boy...
- I think i know why... There is a draw on the wall... It's not beautiful...
- What... What is it ?
- I think it's a human... Killing a pokémon... Not like just fight him and let him faint, he... He hold a sword and kill the pokémon in the chest...
- Wh... WHAT ?! ... Why...
- Xanros, chhht... That will be okay, we aren't like that anymore... Said Steven while putting his hand on Xanros's shoulder.
- Booooooooy... Don't feel sad, please... You know how much i love you, you don't have to... You don't have to worry about it...
- Maybe it's when humans & pokémons did met for the first time, back from centuries... Then we did make a peace, and we did learn to live together... And now we still live together but we want the best for them...
- Steven... Can you help me facing him and hugging him ?
- I will, hold my hand... Slowly... T-There...
- My boy... Xanros... Don't feel sad, i will be too if you do... I said while holding him in my arms.
- Maybe that Tyranitar in one of the pokémon that lived in this world, a while back... But how a pokéball could exit... I don't even know about it... The technology, i mean.
- That's surprising it was in a tomb... How long did he spent days while being in that pokéball ... Damn. How about we free him and try to make him understand we don't want to hurt him or anything bad ?
- Don't, he is one of the most insolent pokémon you can ever see... He is too dangerous for that, we need the help of a experienced trainer... Keep him in that pokéball, we will found something...
- We have to move on, come on boy... Everything is gonna be okay...
- Hera ! Said Xanros while taking me.
- Let's check over there, it seems another room.
- Maybe we will found something... Amazing... Again... I said.
- There is a big problem Raprelle, look over here.
- ... What ?
- You don't see it ? There is some Rockets over there.
- What are they doing here...
- Maybe they were watching out for you, it's not good, my metang isn't feeling great, i... Did battle, a little bit, before finding you.
- Xanros can do it... Right boy ?
- Hera...
- He doesn't seems to be up to... He is tired, we did search a lot, couple of hours ago...
- Then, i will do it !
- You can't even stand, how are you going to do- RAPRELLE, WHAT DID I SAID ?! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO ?!
- I said, i will do it, i said while standing up and trembling.
But... Raprelle, that's crazy, you lost a lot of blood, you obviously need a doctor, and your wounds are all open wide, you take a freakin' huge risk just to protect us, just... Why are you that stubborn ?!
- I... I said i will do it, and i... I will do it... Don't worry about it Steven !
- I... I won't let you do that Raprelle, no way ! Said Steven while putting himself in front of me, i won't let you pass, i don't want to see you dying just because we can lose a fight, we can still find a way to do it, don't put your life in danger, please.
- I've been in the past, worst... In a worst shape than that, it... It wasn't the same but, i just... I can't give up !
- You are shivering, you are cold, you have 5 even 6 injuries, open wounds, at both arms and legs, even on your back... Xanros, please, stop her, don't let her do that ! Come on !
- Boy... Leave me do it... T-Trust me !
- Heracross...
- Come on Xanros, don't let her do that, come with me !
- H-Hera...
- Xan, trust me, i beg of you, i can do it.
- Hera...
- Then if he doesn't want to do it, then i will do it alone, pass me the pokéball Xanros !
- Don't... Don't even think about it Steven, trust me, i can still stop you, e-e-even in the worst shape i can be !
- You are even fainting, just, stop arguing, let me bring you to a doctor, come on.
- D-D-Don'... t... Do that.
- Thanks Xanros, come on Raprelle, i know you'll probably hate me for that, but i'm thinking about you right now ! >>
 
I wasn't able to do anything... He did throw the pokéball on me, and... To be honest, i wanted to fight, to get back some vitality in the battle but... I was really stubborn for nothing. Once in the pokéball, i did calm myself... He was fully right and... I did hate him, even if i was feeling being so useless to them... I didn't wanted to let them do everything, because... It's my fault we are here, and i didn't wanted to make them repair what i have done. I heard they did sneak out slowly the cave, and when i heard something like "Light !" i was sure we were safe... A few minutes later, i was free from the pokéball again.
 
<< Rap-prelle... I'm not feeling good...
- We are at the doctor Raprelle, don't worry, he will fix you up, but you'll need to rest.
- Why... Why can't we go to the pokémon center...
- It's not the same injuries you need to heal right now...
- What's the difference then ?
- Well, pokémon center just heal you, you'll feel really good, but your wounds are still there, and even if you don't feel the pain they make on your body, you'll feel them when you'll move.
- Oh... Okay.
- The doctor will just replace the bandages, since i didn't had the best i could have at the moment... Are you feeling any better anyway ?
- A little bit...
- We will need some items too... Some status problems and full restores, since you'll have to battle and Xanros can need them too.
- Wh.. Where is Xanros ?
- Outside, we is guarding the entrance...
- Raprelle, said the doctor.
- Alright, do you need me to be with you or not ?
- Y-Yes, i don't wanna be alone...
- Alright... Yes sir, it's us.
- Hello then... Oh i see why you needed me.
- H-Hello, i said.
- Okay, enter please. >>
 
I was... Ashamed. Back at the cave... I had huge regrets...
 
<< Is it bad, doctor ? Said Steven.
- No, but it will take some times to heal back... It's open in 3 of the few injuries i saw... Nothing is hurt too badly, even the back is okay... How did it happen ?
- I...
- Take some rest Raprelle, i will tell... She did fall in a huge pit, at the desert.
- Oh, that explains...
- How much time do you think she needs to recover ?
- A few days, today she need to rest for sure, tomorrow she can walk a little bit, but not too long... Probably in three days, even more...
- Well, doctor, to be honest she is a... Pokémon so... I was...
- A pokémon ? Are you sure ?
- Yes and... Do you think she can go in pokécenters to help her recovering faster ?
- That's a... Interesting... Question... I mean, you can try but... Don't run then, if you want to walk young girl, take the pokécenter before, then don't go too fast.
- Okay, thank you sir.
- I'll leave you with her for a minute, i need to see my assistant.
- S-Steven...
- Don't worry Raprelle, said Steven while putting his hand on my head, we will figure it out, i won't leave you there, it's not safe.
- Steven i'm... I'm sorry, back in the cave, i was... I didn't wanted to feel useless... I wanted to help you and Xanros.
- Don't worry, i understood why you were trying so badly to do something... But you were the one we needed to rescue, so... Next time, just relax, we will handle everything.
- I did learn my lesson, promise... I won't let my self do that again...
- Good. Once he is back, i'll pay, and we will go to the pokécenter, healing you, my metang and Xanros if he want.
- There here, Team Rockets, the girl and the guy we wanted ! Said the doctor.
- What the... Said Steven.
- There you are ! You won't running away now !
- It... It was a trap Steven ! XANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS !
- HERACROSS !
- C... Come on Boy, help us !
- Hera ! Said Xanros while punching on of the two rockets in the face.
- Damn ! He battle humans too ? Said Steven.
- You don't know him in his full anger... He... Hehe. Come on boy ! You're... You're doing good !
- Herac-cross...
- He isn't feeling so good, i better get my pokémon... Metang, go !
- Damn my buddy is down... Golbat go !
- Metang, use take down !
- Golbat, try to avoid it you can ! ... Oh no... MY GOLBAT !
- Take down is one of the best attack Metang know, that was easy enough, now go away Rockets ! ... Come on Raprelle, let's get out of here, can you walk ?
- Put me in the... In the pokéball, Steven.
- Alright, i will then, and what about Xanros ?
- Let him handle your exit, he will find the strength back slowly... I know him better than anyone...
- Okay, we will go to pokécenter, let's go ! >>
 
Xanros had his own limit, he wasn't the amazing powerful monster every-time, he needed some rest, but he can recover slowly by himself, he isn't in a need of any healing item or pokécenter... Once in the pokéball, i heard Steven running away and Xanros were following him, then Steven talked to Xanros a little bit...
 
<< Xanros, we need to split up, take Raprelle with you and get to the center alone, you'll be safe.
- Hera !
- Raprelle, if you can hear me, meet me at the Team Aqua hideout, we will need to discuss with the team, about Mauville... See you later. 
- Heracross ! >>
 
When Steven was gone, i did wait a least an hour before feeling amazingly great again... And a few minutes after that, Xanros did free me.
 
<< RAPRELLEE ! ... Damn, i'm feeling amazing ! Thanks Xanros.
- Hera !
- Yeah boy... I know you need to rest, i will take care of the battles if we need to, don't worry ! I'm feeling great... Wow, my wounds are still bad...
- Hera ! Hera !
- Yup ? ... Oh, nice, you did get one of theses... Things... A full restore, right ?
- Hera !
- Great, there, you earned it boy !
- H... HERACROSS !
- HEY ! Why are you roaring like that ? You don't want it ?
- Heracross !
- Alright, seems you don't want it... I will keep it then... Or maybe you wanted to keep it for me ?
- Hera ! Said Xanros while nodding.
- Hehe, you take care of your pokémon after all... Let's go the hideout, we will... Talk all together about that. It will be great but i'm afraid they will shout on me, from what i did...
- Heracross !
- I know you would defend me but... It's something hard to understand... I did something bad and... That's all, right... Let's go... Can you fly again ?
- Hera !
- Woaw, your wings are more beautiful than i did imagined ! ... I said while going on his back, let's fly Xan ! >>
 
Flying was more... SCARY, THAN I DID EVER IMAGINE. I was really scared, i did hold tight Xanros, i didn't wanted to fall... It's was the most scariest thing i have ever done in my entire life...
 
<< XAAAAAAAN ! ARE WE ARRIVED YET ?!
- HERACROSS !
- DAMN YOU, I'M... I'M SCARED BOY !
- HERACROSS !
- LET'S GO DOWN FOR A MOMENT !
- HERACROSS !
- CAN YOU HEAR ME ?!
- HERACROSS !
- I'M DOOMED !
- HERACROSS ! >>
 
... But he couldn't hear me, the speed we had was surprising... A few minutes later, i saw the lake we needed to get, and the hideout was right here. Xanros went down in a second.
 
<< D-D-Damn you... It's very scary... Didn't you hear me up there ?
- Hera ?
- Yeah, i was really scared boy ! That's... I won't do it again, i'm sorry... Or maybe in a pokéball, that would be less scary but... If i know it, i would be still scared... Seems no one is here, let's get in the hideout ! >>
 
Once going down, they were no return, it was full all in. But, there was more people than last time... Wally, Steven, Arthur, Norman, Brendan, P.Birch, P.Oak, May, even some gym leaders that did follow Norman's choice, like Flannery, Roxanne, Wattson and Winona.
 
<< Welcome back Raprelle, look at who is here now ! Said Wally.
- There is a lot of people, wow... >>
 
I was scared, a lot of new people was looking at me, then suddenly, everybody were looking at me.
 
<< uh... Hello, i said.
- RAPRELLE ! Said everybody.
- D-Damn, that's powerful now...
- Look at our group now ! All because of you ! Said Norman. I would like you to meet Flannery, gym leader from Lavaridge...
- Hello Raprelle ! I heard a lot about you ! You are the fire of my hope !
- Hey...
- Now Roxanne, Rustboro's gym leader.
- Hey girl, nice to meet ya, stay sharp !
- Hello...
- And here is Wattson, the gym leader of Mauville...
- Ah, young one ! Great ! Hello, pleased to meet you !
- Nice to meet you too...
- Winona, leader from Fortree.
- May the wind be with you, always...
- Uh yeah, let's wind that one day... I guess...
- Plus, here is Professor Oak, he made the travel only for you.
- I'm glad to meet one of the most amazing person in this region, nice to meet you Raprelle.
- Hello professor.
- And... Oh, i did forget, my son, Brendan, you did meet him... Right ?
- Raprelle... I'm sorry for... For what i did, back at Rustboro... I would like to apologize.
- That's nothing... You did that for money, right ?
- Yes... I needed some money for my pokémons and they promise me not to hurt my dad if i work with them... Since now, my dad is safe, i'm glad to fight with everybody.
- Great... Well, drink something, make yourself at home.
- Raprelle, by the way, said Steven, can i have a little chat with you ?
- Yes, of course Steven, i'll be back everybody...
- Right, we won't be heard here... Back at the cave...
- Yeah... ?
- Listen, i think we will need to return in there... Not only for rocks but because we saw some stuff with Xanros when you were dizzy... You are alright now, yes ?
- Yes, i'm alright, i still have the injuries but i'm okay.
- Okay, then that's cool... So how do you feel about the group now ?
- That's impressive... a little bit, even, and i don't feel being the leader again... I mean, i was alone, i needed help to help Hoenn and now that i can see how many people we are now, it's amazing but at the same time... I don't like being in the spots, it's not me.
- Oh okay i understand what you're meaning... That's nothing Rap', keep being yourself and everything will be cool.
- I guess i will need to speak with P.Oak about my poké thing... I don't feel right not to fight theses rockets...
- Keep calm and everything will be fine, fight if you feel able to, but... Don't force too much, your wounds aren't healed yet.
- I will... Can you, when you leave the room, say to professor Oak to come and professor Brich too ? About me.
- Of course chief, i will... See you later, Rap.
- Cya... >>
 
In the same time, Xanros did come, and i saw both professors coming too.
 
<< Steven told us to come... So, it's about you, right ? Said Birch.
- Yes...
- After what professor Brich said on you, you are a pokémon ?
- Check my pokédex, i said while giving it.
- Hmmm... That's interesting... And that's your pokémon then ? That Heracross ?
- Hera !
- That's my boy but... I'm more his pokémon than his trainer, he is my trainer if you want to know.
- Okay... So he want to protect you like you were his pokémon then ?
- That's right, i did speak with him a lot and... Hey Xanros !
- He is giving his paw, that's cute... So you did speak with him ? Can you feel he can understand what you're saying or not ?
- More or less, i can understand his feels on his roar from different situation and he can feel what i'm saying... That's weird but he can.
- Can you show me something, like putting him to sit or else ?
- Xanros, sit...
- Hera, said Xanros while sitting.
- Xan, take me on you and hug me from behind.
- Heraaaa ! Said Xanros being happy and putting him against his chest and putting his arms on me.
- Xanros, now, capture me and free me after you did !
- Hera ! Said Xanros while standing up in front of me, and throwing the pokéball on me, and freeing me just after that.
- Raprelle ! ... Yup, everything is normal, i said.
- That's impressive... So he can understand you in every word you say... And he seems very happy to have you... Said Birch.
- I saw the same link when a pluse and a minus are together... It's like you are a bug type for him, like you were his pluse when he is the minus, that's the same thing... That's really amazing to see, it's not everyday we saw someone controlling his pokémon in every way.
- I'm not controlling him in every way, sometimes, he doesn't agree with me, and he try to make me understand that's something dangerous, or something stupid. He show me the pokéball when he doesn't want me to do something, to protect me.
- Oh, wow... Then that's why you are a pokémon then, said Oak.
- What ?
- That's because he is making you a pokémon, not because you wanted to be one. He is the reason...
- Really ? So after thinking i have done something wrong... Now the wrong is Xanros ?
- Exactly, he is doing that because he loves you.
- And the fact i was born from an egg, and my dad were a pokémon... Wrong too ?
- Completely wrong. The only reason you are a pokémon now, and you will be a pokémon forever, is because of Xanros, he did make you one because of his powerful will. Even if Xanros is gone, you'll stay as a pokémon for your entire life.
- Only because of his love...
- Heracross ! Said Xanros while hugging me.
- See, that's why, he loves you so much that it's more powerful than anything, you can't blame him, it's not his fault, but... That's because of him.
- I... I love him too, i said.
- That's understandable, it's still great to see something like that... Said Oak.
- Well, Raprelle, you got your answer i guess, said Birch. Thank you professor Oak.
- No problem, my friend, it's a pleasure for me to explain some theories, and i hope it won't be the last, the pokémon's world is still strange for everybody...
- I have a last question, what if i evolve ? I'm already level 46 and... I don't know if i will...
- You just have to let yourself do what the nature want you to become, Xanros can't control your evolution too, it's up to you. Don't be afraid about it too much, you only lose a part of yourself if you were a pokémon from the beginning... You dad was one, right ?
- Yes...
- He did lost himself ?
- Well, my mom told me, he wasn't the same when i was born.
- Then he probably was a pokémon from the beginning of his life, he must have a pokémon parent, it's uncommon but, i still see that... It's rare though...
- So my grand mother or my grand father in my father's side is a pokémon ?
- Should be a humanoid, like a Machoke or a Gardevoire, but yes. You have a grand father or a grand mother who were a pokémon, but a real one, not human at all. It was maybe humanoid... I hope.
- That's impressive... I said.
- I will have to get back at Kanto, said Oak, Birch, it was again, a real pleasure to meet young kids who are growing up in the world, and i hope, again, that more fantastic thing will happen.
- Me too, me too Oak, i will try to see when the boat will arrive... Raprelle, see you around, i will come back.
- Good bye young girl, have a nice journey.
- Good bye professor Oak and... Thank you... A lot.
- My pleasure... >>
 
... I won't lose a part of my self... I WON'T LOSE A PART OF MY SELF... RAPRELLE RETURNS ! GET READY TEAM ROCKET FOR MY REVENGE ! ... Yeah, i was that pumped, after being so afraid of evolving, now... I wanted to beat anything, anyone, everywhere, when i did get back at the main room with Xanros on my back... And i needed to speak out for everyone.
 
<< H-Hum... I said, everyone, can i have your ears ? ... Okay. Tomorrow, we are gonna strike in Mauville AND Lavaridge, we will split out as 3 groups, and on each groupe, we will proceed like that : since we are 10, 1 will scout on each group the city and say if there is anything wrong or not, 3 will go for it once the scout is done inspecting, and 1 will cover an emergency exit if anything goes really wrong. That's okay for everyone ?
- 10 but... We are 11 trainers, no ? Don't you come with us ? Said Brendan.
- That's the thing, i won't be a trainer tomorrow, i'm... I'm not feeling very good, but i'll support if needed, i'll act as a pokémon, remember that... Xanros will come with me, and if any of scouts find something wrong, we will be ready to help the group. Any other questions ?
- I have one, we will only have 8 pokémons... Said Arthur.
Then i'll be someone's pokémon, and Xanros will do the same, however, Xanros can't go in a pokéball, so if anyone is up to... For me, i can, there is no problem.
- Well cap'n, said Arthur, we have a Mightyena, a Vigoroth, an Altaria, a Metang, a Ratata, a Seedot, a Pelipper, and finally a Swampert.
- Alright... Then everyone choose the pokémons they want, but don't take an Altaria if you don't know how to battle with it... One by one, i will say a name, and you'll say which one of theses pokémons you choose, you can count me as a Fighting type, and Xanros as a Fighting & bug type, and Xanros need someone who is able to know his level... Since he is very powerful... Okay, the first one i'm gonna call is Wally.
- I'll take the Pelipper, since the flying leader know a lot more than me on birds...
- Okay, Roxanne.
- Seedot, that's a nice type.
- Flannery.
- I dunno... I don't... What type are you did you said ?
- Fighting.
- Then... Come with me, i'll be with you.
- Okay, now Norman.
- Vigoroth.
- Steven ?
- Metang, of course.
- Winona.
- Altaria ! Let's dragon rage some of them !
- Brendan ?
- Swampert, no doubt.
- Wattson ?
- Your Xanros, i might be able to control him, i have a lot of expriences...
- Arthur ?
- Meh, do yer i have a choice now ? Ratata...
- May you'll have the Mightyena.
- Nice !
- About the team... We will put in team #1 ... Wally, Steven, Roxanne, Flannery and Arthur... And the rest, you are team #2. Does anyone have a question ?
- Yes me ! ... Do you mind if i talk you in private ?
- S-Sure May... Does anyone have a question before i close our meeting ?
- Nah, yer can go.
- Okay, have a good day, don't sleep too late... Come with me May... >>
 
Everything was set up and ready for the strike, we will bring some hope tomorrow. We have to, we will free Hoenn in no time !
 
<< So... What's going on May ?
- I won't be able to fight tomorrow, i need to get back to Kanto with my father... We need some security...
- Oh... Okay, don't worry about it.
- There, take Mightyena. I'm sorry i can't help...
- That's nothing... May, know that we are enough already to take over Hoenn if we play our cards right. Don't worry about it, i understand why you're leaving Hoenn.
- Thank you Raprelle... There, take my pokénav number, i will call you when i'm at Kanto.
- Okay May.
- Thanks for what you've done for Hoenn... I'm sure one day... You'll be the best trainer of the region.
- But i'm not, i'm a pokémon May.
- Then the best pokémon, hehe.
- I will try... But i don't really care about that, as long as Hoenn is doing fine again, i'm sure everything good will come after that...
- Hehehe, okay. See you later Raprelle, i need to leave.
- See you next time May. >>
 
I had to make a call... James, and Jessie... I hope they are ready to help us tomorrow, they will be our backup.
 
<< Hey James... It's me, Raprelle... I wanted to check on you.
- Oh, hello my secret friend ! ... See how it was with Jessie ?
- It was all good, yup ?
- Yes ! I heard you last time we talk, i didn't fooped up ! Everything went fine again.
- Nice, that's great then !
- I can't thank you enough for that... How are you ?
- I'm doing alright, i have my wounds on my body but i'm not feeling that bad...
- What ? Wait... When you were running away right ?
- Yes, i didn't saw a pit on the desert, and i spent almost 7 hours, stuck in it...
- Daaaaaaamn, poor Raprelle... I'm sorry to hear that.
- Don't worry, i'm fine now... But i'm not calling only for that, i... I will need you tomorrow, with Jessie, we are ready to strike in 2 cities but, i would like you to stay ready if we need backup, can you do that for me ?
- Of course, where will you strike ?
- At Mauville and Lavaridge.
- Okay, take care at Lavaridge, the volcano is still awake... And Mauville is full of grunts from last time, so... Go in it with caution and strike well.
- Thanks for the infos then, i'll see you tomorrow James !
- Cya, take care. >>
 
Now we will be 12 trainers if it's really tough... My plan was almost perfect, the only thing that would be totally random is... Me. Will i be fine tomorrow... ?

Link to comment

Early morning... When are we anyway ?
 
<< ... Steven ?
- Yes Raprelle ? What are you writing ?
- I'm doing my diary, can you say the date please ?
- Oh, we are... 17th September, from my pokénav.
- Thanks >>
 
Monday 17th September, 7:31 AM.
 
Everyone was ready to make the fight at both cities, Team 1 was ready, Team 2 was already gone, they were going for Lavaridge, it's more far than Mauville... Flannery came with me outside, she needed to learn my attacks, my weakness, and my greatest strength.
 
<< Okay... Raprelle, it's your name right ?
- Yes.
- What attack do you know ?
- Low kick, Brick Break, Bulk up and Double team.
- Wow... But how are you gonna make physicals attacks with your actual shape ? That's crazy.
- I don't know but, i didn't test it yet, maybe it will be fine...
- You better find a magical attack, in case it's not good, i can teach you a TM, if you want... Do you mind to ?
- I don't mind, what is it ?
- Well... Flamethrower.
- WHAT ?! I will spit fire or something ?!
- No no no ! Don't worry, you can do it all by your hands, you can create that power all by yourself without spitting any fire, i saw some pokémons doing it.
- Fire... I don't know if i can learn theses attacks... Is the pokédex seems okay for that ?
- He don't refuse, which means... You can learn fire attacks... Didn't you tried every elements before doing only fighting type ?
- No... I didn't know i could learn different element... Can we try before going to Mauville with the others ?
- Yup, it won't take long, i have some TM on me, even HM, as you wish.
- Even HM ? What type ?
- Surf, Cut, Rock Smash, and Dive, do you want to try Surf ?
- Well, that seems fun ! Try it !
- Okay, wait a second... Damn, the pokédex doesn't refuse surf too, you can do some water type as well !
- Call the others, see if you can try every elements, i need to know that ! I said while being happy.
- Okay, wait here ! Try Surf, here, take the HM, see if you can find a way.
- Thanks, i will ! ... >>
 
TM were like CDs, so... In case i didn't know what to do with it, something was written... "HM or Hidden Machine, is able to teach a pokémon a move ; Surf - ... Wait, what is that language ? I can't understand... Maybe i just need to put in the pokédex and i will "know" it like that... That's what happened. I took the pokédex that Flannery left before going telling the others, and i did insert it. Once it was done, i felt like i knew this move from a long time...
 
<< Woooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooo !
- Raprelle ! I'm back with the others ! ... Woo damn, you know how to Surf then !
- Loooooook at meeeee ! ... Weeeeeeee !
- I mean, that's still crazy how you surf with your feet but... You're going fast...
- I caaaaaaan't stooooooop my seeeeeeeeellllf !
- He... Hehehe.
- Kid ! What are you doing on the lake of the hideout ?!
- I'm testing moves Arthur !
- Cht, let her have some fun, old pirate... said Steven.
- AAAAAW ! ... D-Damn, that was amazing... I don't even know how i did it but that's so cool ! I said.
- So, we did get almost every type, ghost, psy, water, fire, grass, electricity, flying, normal, ice, poison, ground, dragon, steel, rock, bug and dark, what do you want to try first ? Said Flannery.
- Now that i know i can use water, let's try fire ?
- You'll need something to hit... Metang ! Go ! ... Use substitute ! Said Steven. Hit him with any new attack you wanna try out.
- There Raprelle, said Flannery while inserting Flamethrower, try it out ! >>
 
In the end, we spent an hour... I can use fire but... Not with my hands, but with my mouth... That's weird and the burn taste is... I don't even know that taste, it's horrible ! ... Grass was weird, i can only use it if there is any plant... So i'll pass on that... Psy i was able to do it, it was like being a superhero or something, i could read minds ! ... But i didn't keep it, i don't plan on reading the minds of people... Not my type at all... Ghost was... It was outside of me, like i could float in the air, leaving my corpse and stuff... It felt even weirder than grass, so i didn't took it... Electricity was with my hands, and it was cool, i'm keeping that type in mind... Normal was normal, nothing weird... Flying was, like... I needed to brass the air to make a attack, it was exhausting and i didn't took it too... Ground was easy enough, with my feet i could make little earthquake, i'll see that later, dragon i was unable to do it, my head didn't fit the type i guess... I'm joking ! Not every dragons are counting on a big head, but i couldn't do any dragon attack... Steel, i was unable too, unless like grass, i could have any metal thing... Rock, same... Bug i could do some cut thing, and even making a silver wind, but i couldn't absorb or vamp stuff, that's okay i guess... Dark, it was like being my own shadow, like walking in the other me, it was too weird, i needed to bite pokémon, and that Metang was steel-type, i didn't tried, but i could...
 
In the end, Flannery tell me something.
 
<< Well, Raprelle, what attack do you think you'll keep then ?
- Probably Thunderbolt, Brick Breaker, and i don't know for the rest... What do you think i should take for the next 2 attacks ?
- Let's take Surf and Fly.
- Fly ? You're joking right ?!
- Yes. Hehehe ! Don't worry, let's take Bite ? Could be useful against ghosts !
- Okay... It will be weird to do it but if it's useful, than i'll sacrifice my self.
- Now you'll be able to battle without taking too much risks with your wounds, said Steven.
- I can do Thunderbolt, Surf and Bite, i can't do Brick Breaker at the moment, it's risky...
- Okay, let's go ladies, everybody wait us ! Said Arthur. >>
 
We crossed the woods, with the help of Metang, cutting any trees with his paw, and once we saw Mauville... I took my pokénav, and i called Team 2 to strike at Lavaridge, and we were going to attack too.
 
<< Alright peeps, we need to be at least 2 at the left flank... Okay, then Flannery, take this Mightyena, we will be 2 pokémons but you'll need to keep watching me and Might', don't worry about me too much thought.
- Okay chief ! I will.
- May won't come today, sadly, Wally is going with Team 2 to help them, we will stay together as long as we can keep a great defense. How many grunts there is...
- At least 34, cap'n, it will be really hard.
- I'll call my backup then, i have 2 trainers ready to help us.
- Great, good to hear that.
- Arthur, you'll go north flank, Roxanne, south one, i will go at left with Flannery, and Steven cover right. Anybody have a question ?
- No ma'am, yer will be some great fight !
- Let's kick theses rockets from that city... For good. >>
 
Each one had a position, and everyone did their best to get at their position without trouble, and every grunts were running for the trainers they saw, north, south, east and west, the fight was everywhere, but not in a single battle, in multiple...
 
<< Mightyena ! Go ! 
- Alright Flannery, i'll try to assist your Mightyena, and i'll do my side too.
- Okay Raprelle, if you feel dizzy, just ask ! I have your hp on the screen of my pokédex too !
- I will... Let's make some fight ! ...
- YOU ! You don't get away this time !
- Stop talking, come fight me, stupid dog !
- Poochyena ! Go ! >>
 
Those grunts... They weren't that good... It was much simple than we expected... I did use my electricity a lot, and some water as well... In the middle of the fight, Flannery were doing her best, but her Mightyena fainted.
 
<< Come back Mightyena ! ... Raprelle, we can't keep up like this ! I know you're doing great, but the pokémon you gave me haven't the same power as you, how are you doing ?
- I'm doing my best, they are trying to attack at 5v1, i'm struggling here !
- Your PPs aren't high too... And your HP too... It's too risky, we can't continue the fight, we will need to give up !
- Catch !
- ... Your pokénav ?
- Call my contact, James, say we need him at Mauville, he will understand, just tell him we are at east of Mauville, come on, don't lose a second ! >>
 
They were many, it was hard to attack every single pokémon they had, each grunt had about 3 to 6 pokémons... It was a hard time, i saw Flannery going a little bit away to call, i just hope i'll see James soon enough before we are defeated...
 
<< Raprelle ! I called him !
- Yeah and... DAMN ! ... AW !
- You're not doing so good, your HP are low !
- J-Just give me a full restore... Come on Flannery ! I'm counting on you now !
- There, catch it !
- T-Thanks... Fufu... Damn here they go attacking the same way...
- Raprelle, can we make a retreat ?
- W-We can't, fu... Alright i'm feeling a little bit better... We need to keep up, see if you can find a way to help me, they are too many !
- Uh... Use Surf !
- S-Surf ? How am i going to create water ?
- Just... Pretend to surf ! It can work ! ... I think...
- I'll try... Uh ! It was close for that one ! They are trying so badly to bite me and stop me but... Okay... I'm doing surf... I'm doing surf... I'm DOOOOOOOOOIIIINNNNG SURF !
- You did it Raprelle ! >>
 
Some water were under my feet... And i don't even know how i did create water ? ... Like doing electricity without really doing it... It's weird, magic is really weird. I won't say it was a huge success but... After the battle against the grunts, something happened.
 
<< Raprelle... We did it !
- Chhht, Flannery, listen. There is something wrong.
- Wha...
- Come here, i said while taking her hand, are you watching the same think i'm actually watching ?
- It's like a big... A big gun... Why ? They are trying to fire it against us ?
- I don't know, it's like a raygun... I saw one but i did explode it with some bombs, thanks to James, but... We can't keep the fight... Can you retrieve the others and comeback here with them ?
- I will Rap, i will be back.
- How to deal with that... Without bombs... >>
 
It was almost the same gun i did destroy yesterday... How did they repaired it ? It was fully destroyed... Maybe they did build another ? It wasn't something we were up to fight... If it's the same, they can catch us in no time, we're done, unless we had a plan.
 
<< We're all here Raprelle, said Flannery, so, why are we here now ?
- ... We're missing somebody... Where is Roxanne ?
- Kid, i think they got her.
- Damn it, we can't lose her, Steven, did you saw if they got her or not ?
- I'm sorry, i couldn't see the situation, it was hard on my side...
- At least, there is no grunts now, we can expect they will shoot with their gun... It catches people who been touched by it, by placing them in a pokéball, we need to avoid it and destroy it, after that, we need to get Roxanne back.
- So you prefer destroying that thing over saving Roxanne ? And what if we can't save her ? What if she is held captive somewhere else ? What if we lose her for-
- Don't worry Steven... If we deal with it fast, we can save her... Easy... Each time for each thing.
- But we can lose her ! Think about it was you !
- ... You know what... Okay, we will make something different, there, take this up.
- That's... What is it exactly ?
- It is my word, now, wait for James, my friend, and his friend Jessie, to destroy this weapon, i'm going to save Roxanne, okay ?
- Alone ?
- It's not gonna be hard if it's like the battle we did with Flannery, don't worry, that's why i prefer you, Flannery, and Arthur, taking care of the weapon, you'll have more chance, and even more when my friend is here, okay ?
- That's okay i guess... Take care, Raprelle, said Steven.
- I will, you know me.
- That's why i want you to take care, you're already in a bad shape... Don't make it worst.
- I know how to deal with them without risking my life too much... >>
 
He was right... But he wasn't right on the way i wanted to do, if i was with someone else, it was more risk, and i couldn't sneak out to find out where they did drag her, and at the same time, i couldn't tell them to go saving her, if i had to deal with that weapon... You can call me any words you want, but... I don't know how i would deal with it anyway... James could help them, and it's better they know each other without me, less pressure and stuff... Time to focus on saving Roxanne for now.
 
Taking the south road, i saw the bicycle path, and unless thinking i had one or else, i took it, i didn't had any other choice, once on the first bridge, i saw someone near the Mauville's central...
 
<< Come on dude, we don't have time, we will deal with these rebels by threatening their friend !
- Good idea... 
- Let me go ! Stupids ! Idiots !
- Shut your mouth ! >>
 
While jumping on the water, i went as fast as possible, in my haste, i heard a familiar voice...
 
<< Leave it some for Meowth !
- W-wut ?
- It's me ! James et Jessie are dealing with the weapon, your group told us where you went, since you wanted to sneak out, i wanted to help you !
- Well... Great, come on, they did drag her in the central ! >>
 
At least, i had a little backup, we did speed up in the entrance, and we saw them.
 
<< Let me g-go ! ... RAPRELLE !
- Who are you calling that n-... Oh, more people ?!
- Let her go, stupid rockets ! I said.
- You don't stand a chance against me, Meowth ! Give up !
- We will have to deal with them then... Salamence ! Go !
- W-W-WHAT ! Said Meowth, i don't wanna hide that i'm scared... But i am now, Raprelle, their Salamence must be at least lv 40 !
- Not regulars grunts, i see...
- Yup, we aren't grunts at all, you are... TEAM MAGMA !
- Team Magma ? ... I heard about you ! Said Meowth.
- Blaziken ! Go ! ... Stay out of my fight, brother ! They are mine !
- No way, i saw them first, ya can't steal them from me !
- Then i take the cat !
- No ! I wanted to beat him !
- You take the girl, i take the cat, i said it first !
- Stupid brother, alright...
- Well, i said while whispering Meowth, i have an idea...
- What are you gonna do ?
- Make them battle each other... Like making the guy who want to battle you, fighting me...
- Smart, but they must be both really powerful, i'm only lv 32, you know...
- And you still ain't a persian ?
- A NAKED CAT ?! NO WAY ! I'm still me ! The Meowth in his beauty ! I ain't gonna become that rat !
- Haha, understood... Let's go then...
- You did finish your chat or what ? Can we fight now ? Where is your pokémons, young lady ?
- I'm a pokémon, stupid crap.
- W-what ?
- Yup, you heard me, i'm not a trainer at all, Meowth isn't a trainer too, we are both pokémons !
- Can i take the girl then ? Said the right one.
- No, she's mine, you take the cat.
- Why are you always have the best things ?! Like a salamence too !
- Because i'm the best ! That's all ! Now can we fight or what ?!
- Yeh... I guess... Blaziken, use double-kick !
- Meowth, stay behind me, i said while whispering him.
- N-NO ! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ATTACKING MY TARGET ?! AND IT'S NOT EVEN EFFECTIVE YOU MORON !
- HEY, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BRO !
- YEAH, LIKE I WAS GOING TO TRUST YOU FOR THAT, YOU ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO CHALLENGE ME IN EVERY WAY ! Like last time, capturing that girl right here !
- Hey, i have a name, and at least, he was more gentle than you ! Said Roxanne while winking at me.
- She did understand what we were doing Meowth, that's good.
- That's the spirit !
- I DID CAPTURE HER BECAUSE OF THE CHIEF ALRIGHT ?! AND I WAS GENTLE WITH HER ! SHE TOLD US JUST A MINUTE !
- ALWAYS TRYING TO CHALLENGE THE BEST, YOU PIECE OF SEA !
- DON'T EVEN SAY THINGS LIKE THAT OR I'M GONNA ATTACK YOU !
- I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT, STAYING WITH A STUPID STARTER LIKE BLAZIKEN !
- THAT'S ENOUGH, DON'T INSULT MY POKEMON ! Blaziken, use Double-kick on that stupid Salamence !
- Salamence, use Dragon-claw !
- I guess that's our time to save Roxanne and sneak out of here, no ? Said Meowth.
- We better hurry up... I said. >>
 
While giving my hand at Roxanne, we did get out of here, almost fine... Well, that double-kick i receive wasn't effective at all, but it was a physical attack, i didn't feel it during the battle, but after it felt more powerful.
 
<< Are you okay Raprelle ?
- Yes, i think... That double-kick sure did get me good...
- Oh before i forget, thanks for saving me...
- That's nothing ! Said Meowth.
- No problem Roxanne, we're here for each other.
- Secretly i wanted to... I wanted to see how you can battle... Raprelle...
- Ehh... Like any pokémons i mean... Except i'm a human, sure...
- Hey ! Me too i can battle ! Me too ! >>
 
We were going back to Mauville, and surprise, the weapon was destroyed !
 
<< They did it, i said, the weapon has been destroyed.
- Told ya Jessie & James rocks everytime !
- Yeah... But my team is powerful too... Don't underestimate my mates !
- A weapon ? They did create one ? Said Roxanne.
- Yup, they wanted to capture every rebels in a pokéball...
- Oh, i see.
- Heyyyyyy ! You're back with Roxanne, Raprelle ! Said Arthur.
- I told you i could do it ! ... But, without Meowth, that would be impossible, those guys weren't Team Rocket, they were brothers from Team Magma...
- What ? Magma ? You're serious ?! And Max ?!!
- Calm down Arthur... We didn't saw Max, but... They were at the central so i guess... Try to see by yourself if you can find him, since they know you.
- You bet i'm gonna go for it ! See you later guys ! ...
- Fu... That was tough to get that city, after all... I said.
- We did it even if it was hard, said Steven, your friends did help us for that weapon, with bombs or glu stuff... Strange, but effective, they are chlling out a little bit.
- Where is Flannery ? Said Roxanne.
- She needed to go for Lavaridge... For her gym... And wanted to know, if the other team did it.
- Oh, alright.
- I bet they did... I said.
- I'm going to see James & Jessie, see you around ! Said Meowth.
- W-Wait Meowth !
- What ?
- Don't... Don't go.
- Why Raprelle ?
- Can i told you a secret Meowth ? Come with me... See you later, Steven & Roxanne, it's... Personal.
- Sure, we will stick around a little bit, resting...
- Okay... Listen Meowth, their is something you need to know, James... James has been trying to see Jessie for.. Hum... A little more than friendship.
- For ass ?
- W- ! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ! NO ! ... He wants to hang out with her !
- She wants the...
- WOULD YOU STOP SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT ?! You're a perv Meowth, seriously !
- Hey, i didn't understood how to use these words, what's wrong with breeding ?!
- ... You're desperate...
- But why ? Why did i said wrong ?
- You don't say stuff like that in our language, it's not correct, alright ?
- Not correct ?! But you, humans, makes us like prostitute when you try to breed ! What's wrong with you ?!
- ... That's not... That's a good point but... I mean...
- Aren't we, pokémons, like humans ?
- Y-yes but...
- Aren't you a pokémon but a human too ? Can't you feel i'm right ?
- I...
- What ? Cat got your tongue ? Because i guess so !
- ... I stayed without any words and sit down.
- See, i'm right, you don't want me to speak to the humans like that, but humans treat us like animals, that's the real wrong here !
- I... I didn't saw that like that but... What... What if the people treat me like that too...
- W-wait, you're sad ?
- It's hard you know, to make the best for people we care about, but slowly see them... They only watch our pokémon side and not the person we are...
- That's uh... True but uh...
- That's what you feel, right ?
- D-don't... I'm... Yes.
- Don't care about that too much, because i'm not treating you like that, i know what you must feel like, Meowth.
- I...
- Alright kitty-cat, let's go see James & Jessie, and... Don't worry about your pokémon side too much, feel yourself a living one without a category, that will be better.
- Maybe ! ... Maybe... >>
 
While sneaking out to the building they were, we wanted to spy a little bit... A LITTLE BIT, DON'T JUDGE ME PLEASE ! ... What should i care about what you think of me now... I'm a stupid wrong pokéhuman, and a weird girl... Hehe.
 
<< ... So that's what you wanted to talk about James...
- Yes, i'm... I'm happy you care about that...
- You should have talk with me from a long time, you know... There is nothing wrong !
- Really ? So you feel the same right ?
- Of course, why ?
- Great ! ... That's what i wanted to hear.
- That's normal that i love... Too... No ?
- Yeah... Yeah ! ... Yes...
- Why are you suddenly not happy at all ?
- I dunno, i'm scared that we will change if someone know that...
- Chhht, you care about people too much...
- That's my nature, you know me better than anyone now that you know what i said...
- HA ! I KNEW IT ! YOU LOVE EACH OTHER ! Said Meowth.
- What ? You did spy us you stupid cat ?! COME HERE !
- HAHAHA ! YOU AIN'T GONNA CATCH ME ! I KNOW YOU LOVE EACH OTHER !
- Wait, you didn't heard the whole thing then ? That's what you think of us ? Said James.
- YEAH ! W-why ?
- I just said i love to watch the flowers in the morning ! Jessie feel the same ! Nothing wrong ?! Why did you imagine i could love her like that after all these years ?! You stupid !
- Don't worry James, Meowth always had a nice thought about us...
- Bu... But...
- GNA GNA GNA ! So... I was wrong then.
- You're not totally wrong... Said Jessie.
- Wh-what ? Said James while have some red flushing on his face.
- Come here James... Let... Let just... Said Jessie while trying to kiss him.
- OH MAH GOD ! I KNEW IT ! I KNEEEEEEEEW IT ! Said Meowth excited.
- I... I... Said James while trying to kiss her too.
- BEUUUUARK ! THAT KISS MAN ! Said Meowth.
- I love you James.
- I... Uh... I love you too Jessie.
- BAM ! THE CAT IN THE BARK ! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
- Leave us alone Meowth !
- YEEEEE THEY LOVE EACH OTHER ! ...
- YOU FREAKIN' PIECE OF CAT ! HE DID STOLE MY VEST ! Said Jessie.
- COME HERE YOU STUPID CAT !
- CAN'T CATCH MEEEE !
- Pfft... Haha... I was whispering at myself, maybe i should let them alone... That's great for him... >>
 
In the end, James did it with the help of Meowth, even if it was hard for him... But i'm happy for that, and i surely don't need to stay here... I did leave without be seen, and i was back in Mauville...
 
<< Hey Raprelle... Said Steven.
- Howdy.
- You seems happy for no reason, what's up ?
- I... Nah, that's nothing.
- You hide something ? Come on, tell me !
- All i can say is... Love has been born in somebody.
- Love ? Who ?
- Don't think about it Steven, it's a secret i will keep.
- Okay then... About your diary i...
- You ?
- Can i read it ?
- HEY ! That's something personal you know !
- Just a little bit !
- HEEEEEEEEEY ! GIVE IT BACK RIGHT NOW !
I wasn't able to do anything... He did throw the pokéball on me, and... To be honest, i wanted to fight, to get back some vitality in the battle but... I was really stubborn for nothing. Once in the pokéball, i did calm myself... He was fully right and... I did hate him, even if i was feeling being so useless to them... I didn't wanted to let them do everything, because... It's my fault we are here, and i didn't wanted to make them repair what i have done... That's back at the cave... Right ? Said Steven while reading a random thing in my diary.
- J-Just give it back, please ?
- That's why you didn't wanted to give up, you were feeling guilty... And... I was... Ashamed. Back at the cave... I had huge regrets... R-Raprelle...
- JUST GIVE IT BACK ! PLEASE !
- B-But... 
- COME On ! ... Gi... I want it back right now.
- Nobody is perfect...
- ...
- Look, i wasn't angry or anything, back at the cave, you probably did felt me rude or something, but i wanted the best of you, and the best was saving you and healing you, and even that, you wanted to kill yourself just to save us...
- Again with the same speech... I said while beginning to be upset.
- You just need to control yourself Raprelle sometimes, you can't just deal with everything with battles and fights !
- AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ?! FOR FUCK SAKE, CAN'T YOU JUST STOP TALK ABOUT THAT AND GIVE MY DIARY BACK ?!
- B-But Raprelle ! I...
- WHAT ?! WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT ME LIKE THAT ?! CAN'T YOU TRY TO LEAVE ME ALONE ?!
- That's because i love you.
- ... S-S-St... St-Ste-Steven ?
- I always wanted to say my feels but every-time... I didn't had the courage to say that. Even if you don't feel the same way, even if you feel me as your brother, on my side, i love you.
- I... I... I...
- Maybe i should care less for you, maybe you are right...
- I'M SORRY ! I said while running away. >>
 
And my heart goes again... Broken in a millions of pieces... My inside was a washing machine when he said that... I was confused, really confused, i wanted someone i could trust for anything, even my own life... Yeah, you know exactly the type... The type bug, innocent, and powerful... I wanted Xanros... Why ? I don't know... He was the only one that i wanted to see, and, let flow my mind, drowning into his eyes, laying into the ground only thinking about him... I did run away for Lavaridge. I couldn't get my hands at my eyes, i was... I was really sorry for Steven... I was like a 8 years old that have done the worst thing ever... I was about to shout... But, after thinking a bit about it, i... Maybe it was better that i stay a little bit alone. I went in the pit, but this time, with caution, i wanted to clear my mind... I will do my apologies to Steven when i won't feel that terrible...
 
<< Maybe learning some history would be... Great... I guess... For what i did, at least...
- AGGROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON !
- Wh-What was... OH MY !
- AGGRON !
- I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY ! CHILL OUT ! ... I'm done !
- AGGRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONNN !
- CALM D-... He is level 86... What the... It's better if i run away !
- AAAAGGGRRRON ! Said the Aggron while trying to punch me.
- D-DAMN ! ... You aren't very friendly ain't you ? ... I need something to escape right now, or i'm doomed.
- AGGRON !
- L-Listen to... Listen to my heart ! I said while putting my hand on his chest. I'm not here to fight you, i'm not even here to disturb you, please, don't hurt me...
- Aggron !
- He's gonna kill me but... Whatever. Think i deserve to die, then do it...
- AGG !
- AWWWWW..ww... ? What ?
- Aggron.
- What are you... Did you really listen to me ? ...
- Aggron.
- W-Wait... You're not that wild... And that powerful level... STEVEN !
- Aggron !
- I see... That's why you didn't kill me, that's because i have a little bit of Steven's scent...
- Aggro-Aggron !
- How did you end up here, without your amazing trainer ? ... I need to bring you back to him... Here, i have my pokéball, i can share it and make you return to him, that's what you want right ?
- AGGRRRRON !
- CALM ! CALM DOWN ! ... Alright, then that's it, don't worry about that, i'm gonna do it... But i won't give it to your trainer... I will help him finding you... I'm sure that will be okay, i don't want him to... I don't want to chat with him anymore like he did...
- Aggron !
- Okay okay... There you go, i wish you the best with him... Okay ? ... Hug him for me, make him happy again... He will need it... Can you do that for me ?
- Aggron...
- I was sure i can count on you, there ! >>
 
Steven was better than me on every way... Why should i bother him with his pokémon ? ... I don't deserve to give it to him, i want him to found him, and not know that was me... Once at the entrance of the pit, i did climb a bit, and leaving the desert. I went back at Mauville, and i saw Steven, sitting on a rock, thinking about something... I did throw the pokéball at his feet, and i ran away... I went back to the pit, and i was back at what i wanted to see, the history... Probably. I heard him while running away...
 
<< What's that pokéball... Anyone is here ? ... What's in it...
- AGGROOOOOOOOON !
- WHOAAAAA ! AGGRON !
- AGGROOON ! Said the pokémon while taking his trainer into his arms.
- I'm so happy to see you again ! ... Your level, your attacks, everything... You're the same... But who did... Who did find you ? ...
- Guess you're gonna find it by yourself, i said while whispering. Alright, enough, i need to see more in the pit... >>
 
Back into what i wanted to go, i did return in the same room i did find the tomb, reading the sketches on the walls... It was full of past, pokemon & human living together, battling each other, and many... And while i was searching, i found something strange.
 
<< There is a lot of proofs... A lot saying humans & pokemons living together was a myth... But that's right here, people did really live like them... Uh ? What... What's that thing ? ... It's a strange artefact... Like a... Like a diamond or... Wh-... What's happening ? Why... Why am i so bright ? ... >>
 
Aaah... The moment when it happen... I wasn't ready for that, not so soon... But it did happened. Feeling a strange energy, my actual body was bright. I was evolving... I was happy, scared, faithful, hopeful, desperate, sad, but most of all... I was feeling being a better me. I was kinda watching my hands, and until i saw the last piece of my old me... I was amazed... And scared. My wounds weren't open anymore, i could feel a new... Two new things, getting thought my blood... I had my hands different from each other, i was feeling my legs in the same way too... I was punch in the face too when i saw my blood... My new me was...
 
<< That's the way it's gonna be now... I get it... Then... I'll be ready. I'll be ready to show my self to my friends... I don't even know how they will react... But, in any ways, i'm still thinking and acting the way i was before... The only difference is my body. Hold-on Xanros, i will be back in the best way you'll ever see me... I promise. >>

I guess that wasn't so much a big change... I'm more... Magical ? Probably ? ... My blood did change a lot, that's a consequence...

 

 

-----------------

 

The ending ? ... What ? It's too long ?! PFFFFFFT. There, take theses glasses and read slowly. That will help !

 

See you next time ! Art was shitty enough when i was making it to make me laugh, but i guess that's an "OKAY" art now... I guess.

  • 4 weeks later...

Is it a bird ? Is it Rayquaza ?! ... No, it's a plane.

 

Gonna continue that story... Probably ?

 

---------------

 

<< D-Damn... What i just became now... I'm more than a normal human...

- Heracross !

- X-X-Xa... Xan ?!

- Heraaaaaaa !

- I'm comin' boy ! Wait for me ! >>

 

Seeing Xanros brings me some fire into my heart, i was more confident with my new form... I guessed it was just something i would go around... Until THIS PRECISE MOMENT OF MY WHOLE LIFE.

 

<< How are you boy... I said while hugging him.

- I'm fine.

- W-W-W... WHAT ?!

- I'm fine ! What's wrong ?

- I... I... I can... I can under-...-stand you ?

- What do you mean, understand me ?

- Did you... Did you learn my language ?

- Raprelle ? What's wrong ? You always did understand me ?

- Wait... It's a dream right...

- You're not dreaming ! Said Xanros while pinching me.

- Aw ! ... But... But how can i fully understand you ?

- Oh, so you no longer understand me, by my roars... I'm right ?

- Ex-... Exactly. I understand you like you are talking my tongue !

- That's probably your new part of yourself...

- Does that mean, by evolving, i did bring my self the ability to understand pokémons ?

- I saw a human before, doing that... It was really impressive... But he couldn't speak to his people anymore, so he ran away, scared by his own new "him" ... Raprelle, please, promise me you'll never do the same mistake again... Even if you lose your other part of yourself.

- I hope so... But don't worry Xanros, i will never run away from you, you are... You are my best friend and my trainer... How could i do something like that...

- Speaking of that, there is Steven, coming this way.

- Oh no... I can't face him... I'm... I'm scared, i did something really bad and... Hide me, please, Xanros !

- That should do it, said Xanros while showing the pokéball.

- Thanks a lot... I owe you one. >>

 

As i was scared with my "new part", i was also scared of Steven, our conversation, i still have it in my head, i... I can't apologize to him, not because i'm evil or whatever you think but... Because just doing some apologizes won't be enough, both for him and for me, i can't say sorry and forget about everything like that, it's not my self, it's not even human, i needed to make him something great, as i did with bringing his pokémon back, i needed to help him feel better and forget about me and my stupidity. That's how i did think that day...

 

<< Hey Xanros... Did you saw Raprelle ?

- Nope ! At all !

- Right... Still "Heracrossing" your way to speak... Okay, if you saw her, tell her... Thanks...

- No problem !

- See you later... >>

 

Thanks ? To what ? The pokémon or my stupidity ? I was confused, i wanted to reply to him, but at the same time, i didn't wanted to hurt his feelings anymore, he don't deserve it.

Once Steven was gone, Xanros did let me go.

 

<< Raprelctra ! ... Guess that's my new roar...

- Shall i call you, by your name or your new nickname ?

- Nah, keep calling me the same way as before... So he wanted to say thanks...

- Why ?

- Because i did bring him one of his pokémons, it was lost here, and, i did help it going to Steven, you know... I really want him to feel better.

- You can try being his guardian angel, maybe...

- I don't really have the shape... Plus, we need to free Hoenn, again... One city or two, isn't enough...

- But you shouldn't forget about Steven like that...

- I know... I know... But i don't want him to...

- Stop searching for excuses, you will talk to him, it's your trainer that talking to you now !

- Hey Xan that's not... OKAY OKAY ! DON'T SHOW ME THAT THING ! ... I will.

- Promise ?

- Damn... The things i need to do for ya... Promise, alright...

- Try to do a gift and talk to him right after that.

- I... I know something that could make him happy... The stone i did touch... Oh ! There it is.

- What is it ?

- I don't even know, i did touch it and bam, Raprelctra was born from there.

- That's a good idea then.

- Alright "TRAINER XANROS" .... PFfft, i said while sticking my tongue out, let's go see him.

- Don't "PFFFFT" at me little human !

- I pfft whenever i want, big blue thing !

- Come here right now !

- You'll never catch me without a masterball !

- ... So that's where you were, said Steven. >>

 

All my blood were frozen in a minute. From "good ol' moment with Xanros" i did fall to "Terrifying moment".

I was so scared. I couldn't say anything, i couldn't move, i couldn't... I was dead ? ... I don't even know how i was, it was the most scary thing i did ever faced.

 

<< Listen Raprelle, i don't...

- I'm sorry ! ... I was horrible when we did speak about your feels, i regret everything i said about that conversation ! Please... I... I don't want to hurt you anymore, you can not forgive me about it, i will understand, i know i did something really really bad, and the way it was... There, take my present, if you chose not to forgive me and forget about me, then you made the right choice, i can't stand that situation anymore !

- ... Before you make a long roar all about nothing, i know that was you, who did bring my pokémon back, and... Thanks for the stone too, it's a moon stone by the way... I let you rethink about our conversation, but i'm sure you were trying to apologize by theses gifts... Thanks Raprelle. I'll go in the city, cya.

- W-WAIIIIT ! BUT !

- Raprelle, stay here, said Xanros, i think something went wrong.

- BUT I SAID I WAS SORRY ! I SAID ABOUT OUR...

- I'm afraid you lost... You lost your other part of yourself.

- BUT WHY ?! OAK SAID I WON'T EVER LOST ANYTHING ! WHY CAN'T HE UNDERSTANDS ME ?!

- Because, you never learn to understand me, you are speaking my tongue...

- Do... Do you mean i can't ever speak human to the humans again ?! DOES THAT MEAN I CAN'T EVER TOLD HIM WHAT I SAID ?!

- I'm sorry Raprelle, i'm really sorry...

- X-Xaaaan...

- Listen, we... We will find a way to make you speak your language again...

- Xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...

- I know... I know you must feel really terrible now, you must really really feel sad, angry, and lost but...

- XAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN ! I said while crying and holding him into my arms.

- I will take care of you, no matter what Raprelle.

- XAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN !

- I know... It really hits you hard... Isn't it ?

- Xaaan...

- Don't worry... I'm here for you, the pokémons are here too, you will lost your world, but you will learn my world... You will meet new people...

- I'm... I'm so scared... I don't feel like living again !

- Chhhhht... Don't say stuff like that. I know... You promised me to stay with me, remember ? Then hear this... I will never let you down.

- I...

- I'm really sorry for you Raprelle.

- I need to rest... It's... It's really much for me... How... How professor Oak was this wrong ? ... He said... He said i couldn't lose my other part because of how i was born and now... Now how could that go wrong...

- Sit down if you want... Take your time...

- The others are going to be thinking i'm joking or something... I said while sitting down.

- You can always mimic things.

- I can still try to write stuff but... I don't even remember how to write my language...

- Try now if you want, said Xanros while showing some sands, there, try.

- I  A M  M U T E... I can't even write that !

- Well you did write it in zarbies and stuff... Don't worry, we will find a way.

- At least, i can still understand them... That's how you did felt when i was speaking to you ?

- More or less, the same way, yes...

- You must felt lonely...

- No, because you were here to understand what i was trying to say... Raprelle, know that, you were thinking you were bad or anything, but every time, you did act like a real trainer.

- R-Really ? But... I don't feel like being a trainer, i don't feel like saying orders and stuff... It's not my way with pokémons... You know, everything are going so bad, from the day i met you... Being a pokémon and all of that "new world"... I never think it would have going so far...

- Yet you still hang on.

- I never felt i could meet some new people that fast...

- But you still carry on.

- I never felt i could fight the Team Rocket and fight pokémons too...

- And you still hold on.

- How can you understand me that much Xanros ?

- Because you still believe in me.

- I never felt able to say that before but... I love you Xanros...

- And i love you too, precious thing. >>

 

I was... I was lost. But Xanros was able to calm me down, to help me though this, and... He knows the pain i was gonna have to speak with humans again... I didn't knew if it was something permanent or not... Even for that, i couldn't give up. Something was burning inside me... I was both scared and... Happy... Happy to know that, i will discover another side of my world, the world of Xanros, speaking with creatures who had an amazing story with humans... The only thing i'm worried about is my mom... Will she think i'm like my "dad" if i can call him, now ? ... How everyone will react to my new state ? Steven did believe i was just saying that because i didn't cared about him... But i do, i really do... I will have a hard time to explain that to everyone, but with Xanros's help, i don't think it's gonna be hard.

 

<< Time to see the others...

- Are you ready to try to explain them by "poké-words" your new and old part ?

- I'm ready. I was never as ready as now for anything. It had to be done.

- Remember that you can't write and speak in your language...

- I know someone who can understand me, professor Birch. I'm sure he will figure it out...

- Good. Let's go then, i'm with you. >>

 

Walking out of the cave, we were heading to Littleroot town, and many people were watching me, as i was walking, determined. Some people even tried to speak with me, but i didn't said anything, i just did make them more curious, as they followed me.

 

<< Raprelle, why are you not saying anything ? Said Roxanne.

- Kid, what's wrong ? Said Arthur.

- She is pissed ? What happened ?

- I don't know Norman but, when that kid is like that, something bad did happen.

- Raprelle, i tried to talk with you in the cave, some times ago, why are you acting like that ? Said Steven.

- Norman says she is pissed about a situation... Said Arthur.

- Pissed ? About what ?

- Heeeeeey ! Where are you all going ?

- Oh, hey May... Oh hello Brendan too... Kid is pissed about something bad, said Arthur, we are following her to know why.

- You are heading to Littleroot Raprelle ? What's wrong ? Said May.

- Leave her alone, maybe something with her mom... Said Brendan.

- There ya go telling stuff that isn't true Brendan ! Said Arthur, come on now Raprelle, tell us what's wrong...

- She is just pointing into Littleroot... Birch probably ? Said Norman.

- Don't ya dare somethin' about science is wrong !

- Calm down Arthur, let just follow her, okay ? Told May to Arthur.

- BUT I'M WORRIED ! It's not her to do that alright ?!

- Maybe it is her new way, look about her new clothes and style... Said Steven.

- I know i know, but maybe it was just pure physical not mental !

- There we are at Littleroot town, said Brendan. And now ?

- She is heading to the lab ! Said Arthur, TOLD YA IT WAS SCIENCE !

- Birch ? Really ? Said Norman.

- Hello Raprelle, i know why you're here, come in...

- Professor, what's wrong with her ? Said Arthur.

- She did evolved, and she lost a part of herself.

- WHAT ?! Said everyone.

- I need to speak with her a moment, Xanros, you can come as well. Sorry everyone, just wait here until i'm done. >>

 

I knew he was gonna do the best reply to them... I knew i could trust him, he was the only person who knew with Oak about my situation, Xanros too knew ; but he couldn't know more about me and that thing.

 

<< I know Raprelle what you must feel, about what Professor Oak said, he said you couldn't lost a part of yourself, but... He can be wrong, or maybe you did have something new, so, here, talk in this. It's the only device i have and it's a huge machine, enter in it.

- H-Hello ?

- Yes, i can hear you. Just speak to the micro in the center. How are you Raprelle ?

- I'm... I'm doing fine.

- Okay.

- There is something new to my new state, i said to the micro.

- What is it ?

- I can understand pokémons fully now.

- I was betting about that just a moment... You did lost your ability to speak with us but you won the ability to speak with them... That's what P.Oak maybe wanted to say...

- Will i ever speak our language ?

- I'm afraid, it is something that nobody were able to have in their life, your dad, did lost the ability to talk with anyone, couldn't speak either to pokémon or human.

- So, i won't ever be able to talk our language again...

- Don't be afraid about that, this machine is useful if you want to say something, but it is the only in the whole Hoenn... And it takes a huge energy to work, and the bad news is... It can only last 15 minutes per day.

- That small of time ?!

- Yes, that's just a prototype, i didn't tried to make it fully functional because, i never met someone like you. Now, i know i can try on fixing it or even make a device you can wear to speak in it and translate but, it will take time.

- I'm counting on you professor, then.

- I will do my best, count on me. The time is running and it is almost 10 minutes, do you want to say anything before it's too late ?

- I want Steven to come in.

- Okay then... He will enter, i'm running to him.

- Thanks...

- You want to say to him about your conversation, right ? Said Xanros.

- Yes Xan, that's exactly what i have in mind, but i won't say the same. I feel more confident.

- Raprelle, it's me, Steven, i'm in...

- Steven, i don't have many time left so, i want you to know that...

- I'm sorry about... In the cave, you know... I did act like an idiot.

- I only have 2 minutes so... I want you to forgive about our conversation, some times ago, i didn't wanted to hurt you or anything, i'm sorry. I know you are going to say "it's nothing" but for me, i said things like it was your fault and it wasn't appropriate.

- That's okay, at least... Everything is smooth, don't worry about that...

- And, i want you to know that, i care about you.

- Uh, sorry, i didn't catch up what you said... The machine is bugging.

- I care about you Steven.

- Hold on a minute... Damn, it's out. I'm sorry.

- ...

- Talking about luck... Said Xanros.

- WHY ME, WHYYYYYYYYYYY !

- At least you tried, that's nothing.

- It's hard Xanros to make the best of anything situation but here, once again, i couldn't said to him what i feel about my friendship with him...

- Alright, sorry Raprelle, can't make it work again, guess... But know that i'm truly sorry about what happened to you. >>

 

Once again, my life change, everyone is making their best for the situation, but once i was outside, i saw the faces of everyone, looking at me, like i was someone different.

 

<< They are all looking at me like a monster... What's wrong... I said while looking at Xanros.

- Maybe it's something amazing... Or i don't know.

- Yet they can't understand us... In a way, that's... That's funny. Like i can say, they are all idiots, i'm fine !

- Raprelle, come on now... You're going to make me laugh.

- So she really can't speak to us... Only to pokémons... Said Norman.

- Kid, we are with you, even if you lost that thing ! Said Arthur.

- Everyone are gonna help each other, specialiy you Raprelle, don't worry about that, said Brendan.

- For one time, i'm happy to see them all together... Even Brendan... God knows how i hated him... I said.

- But you still appreciate his help...

- I know... Even for Wally...

- Ra-Raprelle ! I'm going to do my best ! You don't have to speak for us, we are going to beat that Team Rocket ! Said Wally.

- Told ya, even Wally...

- People change because of you, you made that happen.

- I was with you Xanros, you did help me making everything happen. Don't forget that.

- Like a great hero you are Raprelle...

- I know right... Maybe we should... Fly ? Like beginning the fight ? They will follow us i guess.

- You're right, let's show them what us, pokémons, are made of, but first, i want to show you something.

- Something ? Is that a surprise ?

- Better than that, climb on my back, we are going to see that, hehe.

- They are flying, are we following them Arthur ? Said Norman.

- Hey, i'm not the chief here !

- But you said you were since Raprelle can't speak ! ... >>

 

Once again, humanity surprise me, and it's with great hope and great power, that we are gonna make Hoenn free. Raprelctra at your command, Xanros !

 

--------------------

 

 That story is strange... Brrrr... What ? I'm strange ? WANNA FIGHT ?! COME HERE YOU SQUICKY READER ! WE ARE GONNA SEE THAT OUTSIDE ! ... I'm kidding, i know i'm strange.  :unsure:

 

See you next time !  :)
