Hit Points, Physical Attack,
Physical Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed: Those exist in
every Pokémon. Using them masterfully along with the right item, ability,
typing, move set, mechanic, team balance, care and love, and of course brilliant
thinking mid battle will lead the trainer into victory!
The
aftermath of the battle against Giovanni was a disaster. It was unknown how
many were buried under their own house. Twenty people were killed, and around
1000 injured. Only very few of them had minor injuries. Despite no one was
blaming Miakko for the destruction of the city; she couldn't stop thinking
about what Giovanni said. If she had not intervened then the damage would be
done by him is only some Pokémon being stolen. The moment that she decided to
help those people is what caused the fierce battle. She knew that Giovanni was
the one to blame, but sometimes it doesn't matter who is righteous and who is
evil. Her integrity caused destruction. She couldn't help but to blame herself.
Especially that she had the least injuries of any injured victim of the battle
with only her left arm broken. Wait… WHAT?!!!! ONLY HER LEFT ARM WAS BROKEN?!
WHAT DA FUCK!!!!!!
Ryu
treated Miakko and bandaged her left arm. "You should be fine in around a
month from now."
"Ryu…
I don't understand one thing… How I was barely injured after this battle?"
"I
don't understand it as well. I'm glad that Miakko is fine, but she was smashed
into buildings, and was hit by extremely strong special and weird moves. It was
if Giovanni was a Pokémon." said Brazle.
"That
is because Miakko is not a normal person." explained Waiareas.
"What
do you mean by that…?" Brazle was starting to grasp one important thing.
Despite that Miakko was her best friend, she knows barely anything important
about her.
"Miakko,
Moho explained it to you. The three of us came from another world." Ryu
continued with her husband's explanation. "In our world people were much
stronger than the people of this world. It was a world of constant war. People
had no choice but to become stronger. Some of them, included us, had special
abilities. We lost those special powers when we came into this world, but our raw
strength stayed with us."
I see… so
that's explains why she was able to defeat to defeat Pokémon at age of only six
years. I understand that as a god. Brazle however… did not. Her thoughts about
having a best friend she knows nothing about irritated her. She never heard
about different dimensions. Who the hell is Moho?! She forgot the time that Nog
and Matoi mentioned his name. In only a month since their Pokémon journey
began, she realized she knows nothing about the true Miakko.
"Why
did we lose our abilities?" asked Miakko.
"Sadly,
I do not know." answered Waiareas.
Nog and
Matoi joined the conversation. "That's because abilities and mechanics
that exists in only one world cannot exist in another." explained Nog.
"We just sent the Crystal Core to Moho Sama. It just won't be
activated."
"We
were able to use Pokémon in the Blade dimension though…" said Ryu.
"Yes.
But that's because they are living beings. We could probably bring a Blade girl
into this world, but only if we had activated the Crystal Core in that
dimension first."
"So
if we'll return to that dimension and activate those Crystal Cores there first,
we can bring Moho a Blade as he wanted?" asked Miakko.
"Very
likely it would work." answered Nog. "But that is not important for
now. First you have to regain your health back."
"Yeah.
The master care about you! He wouldn't send you to another mission when you
can't fight. I was worried as hell when I saw you fighting that Giovanni
monster." Matoi showed his care.
"Matoi,
Nog, and of course, Ryu and Waiareas, thanks!" she stood up. "We have
to treat the injured."
Brazle
couldn't stop thinking how she becomes more distant and distant from her
friend. Moho Sama? Blades? A mission in another dimension?! What is going on?!
And how come that those weirdoes that have sex outdoors are closer to the
Miakko of now than she is?! Brazle started to think that her friendship with
Miakko was more important to herself than to Miakko.
Waiareas,
Ryu, The insane gay couple, and Miakko searched in the city for injured people.
There wasn't much need to search, as they were everywhere. But then a slight
voice was heard, an almost silent scream of "Help!!!!". They searched
for the poor person and they saw one man buried under the ruins of a bank. The
team helped to push and lift the ruins over the man's body. Miakko of course
didn't help with her broken arm. Everyone refused to let her help and let her
to recover from the battle. But once Miakko saw the man's face, her gaze froze,
and her body started shaking from fear. 'Why is he here…?' she was thinking and
wanted to run away, but her body didn't move; as if her body was ignoring her
brain's orders.
"Wow,
thank you guys! You are great help. I was sure I am going to die!' said Raal.
"How
much time you were buried?" asked Ryu.
"Thankfully
only twenty minutes or something in that range of time. I was scared to death.
Nobody would help me."
"Do
you have any pain?"
"My
back hurts, but that's normal for me. Thankfully you saved me so quick so I
won't have any issues." Then he noticed Miakko. "Miakko! How welcome
to see you! You are probably the one who found me. What a caring girl you
are!"
Ryu and
Waiareas instantly saw that this man is nothing more than a façade.
Miakko
didn't respond. She turned away her gaze from the man. There is nothing she can
say to him. Nog and Matoi knew it was their time to leave for a few moments.
This is an issue that they can't interfere.
"What
is your connection to Miakko?" asked Waiareas, glaring.
"She
is my daughter!" he put his arm on Miakko's shoulder.
"Daughter?!
Look at her! She is shaking since the moment you appeared!" shouted Ryu at
him.
"Well…
to put it technically… you are not wrong. She is the daughter of my ex-fiancé.
But that woman broke up with me just so she could be a mother. If she wouldn't
have done it, Miakko would have been my daughter. As a father, I have the right
to talk to my daughter, when I want to, and where I want to!"
"You
bastard!!!" Waiareas couldn't hold himself back for any longer. "Get
away from her, now!"
"You
don't have the right to tell me that." Raal smiled.
"Someone,
call the police!!!!" shouted one woman from the crowd. "It is going
to turn into bloodshed!"
"I'll
warn you for one last time!!!! Move away, now!"
"No."
Waiareas
grabbed Raal's neck with his palm and pushed him to the ground. "Get away,
now!"
"You
think you have the right? You are just her friend, what greater connection you
can have with her than a father and daughter. Let me tell you this, in case you
are going to make up some bullshit. I'm the closest thing that Miakko has to a
father."
"I
am… I…" Waiareas was thinking if to say those words. No, this is the only
he can say. "I'm her father. Her biological one!"
Miakko
couldn't believe to her ears' hearing. She had some theories it is true, based
on a few clues she had. But even with those words being said from him, they are
very likely just words to scare him away.
"You
actually went and said the worst lie you could think of!" laughed Raal.
"Get
away from him!!!!" said an officer and shot a warning shot.
"Looks
like the police came to arrest you." Raal mocked him.
"No
Raal. You mother fucker are under arrest!" said Aaron and cuffed Raal.
"We'll have to question for long time!"
"Mother
fucker child abuser!!!!" Taiga shot with his rubber bullet at Raal's leg.
"This is okay for this guy, right, senpai?"
Miakko
took a minute to calm down from the mess that was going on here.
"Waiareas… Ryu… thank you for helping me… You even told such a lie that
I'm your daughter just to stall time until the police came in. I feel bad for
your dead daughter."
"Miakko…"
Ryu knew that they can't back off now. "What your father said… it wasn't a
lie. It was the whole truth."
Miakko
didn't say anything for around 30 seconds and then said "Don't make such
jokes!" her tears blown to the air from her cry "My real parents
abandoned me in the forest for eleven years and never came back! You two can't
be them!" she wasn't sure if they were lying or not. Some clues made
sense, and some not. "I hate you! Don't ever come near to me!
Assholes!". This was one of the rare times it Miakko was using curse
words. She ran away while crying.
"Miakko!
Wait!" called Waiareas.
"Waiareas.
Don't. Let her calm down a bit. We planned to tell her this only from a year
from now. But we couldn't hold ourselves back and we told her only a month
after we met her. She had a crazy day; fighting Giovanni, that man who claimed
to be her father, and now we smashed on her our reveal. It is too much for one
day, for anyone."
"I
see… so you are 'them'." said Aaron "I can finally meet you. I'll
keep an eye on her.".
Miakko ran
and ran while crying until she reached the Pokémon center. Many injured victims
of the battle gathered there. She took a blanket and slept while crying until
the morning.
Miakko
found herself in a dark void. 'Is this… a dream?' she was thinking.
"Mama,
what are you doing?" asked one girl at the kitchen.
"Oh.
Papa has tomorrow a birthday. We are going to make him a cake."
"I
want to help too!"
The mom
took and chair, and let her daughter stand up on it. The held her daughter's
hand to guide her so she won't cut herself.
"Is
Papa going to be happy?"
"Of
course! It is because his beloved girl made him this cake!"
Next Dream
Baby!!!
The dad
wore his training shoes and was about to set off to a jogging.
"Papa…
where are you going?"
"Jogging.
We have to take care of our body."
"Can
I come too?"
"Are you going to keep up with my pace?"
"I'll
do my best."
"Good
answer. Wear your shoes, I'll wait for you."
'No… This
isn't a dream…' Miakko said to herself. 'This is… a memory from my past.'
Miakko
woke up in the early morning full with tears. She had to certify one thing. She
called her adoptive mother, Alicia. "Good morning mom."
"Miakko,
what happened to your arm?! Are you alright?! Raal didn't do this to you,
right?!"
"No.
It is fine. Mom, I must ask you one thing. Do you remember the photo I've sent
to you? The one with me and the blue long haired woman and man? Do you know
anything about them? They just said one crazy thing that they are my parents…
crazy, I know…" she giggled but also was worried from the answer.
"Miakko…
this is not a discussion we have do to on the phone. But looks like there is no
choice; at the day I found you there was also a photo of them, with you. There
is no doubt; those two are your mother and father."
"Thanks
mom!" she said and went out. '"Papa", "Mama". I'll
start with those words…' she was thinking.
Fifteen
Minutes later!!!!
Nog and
Matoi walked at the streets, searched for a fine place to have sex. "Hey,
isn't that Miakko?" Matoi saw her sitting on the floor while crying.
'I said to
myself that I'll talk to them… yet somehow I can't… How can I show my face
after saying those words…?'
"Miakko,
what happened?" asked Nog.
"It
is just… my mama and papa…"
"I see.
So you finally know that Waiareas and Ryu are your parents. So is what the
issue?"
"I
can't talk to them after what I cursed them."
"That's
it?" asked Matoi. "It doesn't sound like a big deal."
"Not
a big deal?! A daughter can't talk like that to her parents!"
"Miakko…"
Nog tried to calm her down. "They are your parents. They know your
situation you were in. Just a slip of a tongue won't destroy your bond."
"Yeah!
They clearly love you! We saw that every time we met! You can't stop yourself
from meeting them just because of a curse word. Parents don't have this ego.
They'll accept you in whatever you'll do!"
Miakko
smiled just a bit. "So Nog and Matoi, you too have parents that care about
you. Right?"
"Wait.
What?"
"What?"
Matoi joined him in shock as well.
"You
don't?"
"My
parents left home and never returned when they discovered that I'm homo."
"Yeah!
And my father jumped from a tower into a solid concrete when he found out that
I do sex outdoors!" Matoi joined him.
"Oh…
sorry…"
Those
idiots just realized what they just said.
"Matoi
you dickhead, what have you done! You made her depression even worse!"
"You
started with this first you dry rectum!!!!"
"Shut
up! I'll assault you and not sexually!!!!"
"Who
wants your short dick anyway you stinky gay!!!!"
"Stop
saying curse words that applies to you as well!!!"
"Virgin!"
"So
you are a virgin as well!!!"
Miakko
couldn't help but laughing. "You two are great friends and couple, aren't
you?"
"Who
wants this asshole that makes girls cry as a boyfriend!!!!" shouted Nog
and Matoi at the same time.
"Thank
you two. I'm going!"
Miakko
searched for parents everywhere in the ruined city; calling "Papa!",
calling "Mama!". Eventually she found them treating an old man who
was injured in the battle of yesterday. "Mama?", "Papa?".
Her body was shaking and her tears wouldn't stop pouring. This time however, they
were tears of happiness.
Ryu's and
Waiareas eyes opened widely. "Mi-Miakko? Could you? Are your memories… are
they?" said Ryu slowly. The parents looked at Miakko's eyes for three
seconds, and run toward Miakko. And she did the same. If it was a movie, then
as a god I could capture every single frame of the beautiful scene. I refuse to
shoot this movie with lower frame rate then 120 frames per second! If there were
some lazy team members who have messed up my masterpiece I would have fired
them right on the spot!
They
hugged each other for three long minutes. Miakko wiped dry her tears and said
"Mama… Papa… I'm home."
Writer
notes:
So
yeah, the Furukawa family is finally united as "Furukawa". I initially planned to set this
chapter way later into the story, but since Miakko already got more than enough
clues, I decided to cut the chase and not to make Miakko dumb. It also helps in
another thing- I can focus more on other stories, and less of the premise of
what would have happen when they are united. And another thing I want to mention.
Three days ago I had my real life 30th birthday. My parents made me
an awesome surprise- they created for me two T-shirts. One of Miakko, and one
of Waiareas with the art I drew of them. Now go, give a hug to your parents,
they are hopefully the best thing you have in your life.
