"Whaaaaaaa!!!!! Uga Gagagaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!"

"Shit! The baby is crying again!" The grandfather got nervous "Where is the pacifier?!"

"Enough with the pacifier!" The mother got angry. "She is too old for this! We should have got ridded of it long ago!"

"You terrible mother! I can't believe that is how you treat my granddaughter! So she cries a bit more than other babies, so what?! Clair has her problems! You should treat her well!"

"She is not a baby for fuck sake! She is already twenty six years old got dammit! You are the reason she is like that even as an adult!!!!"

"Shut up! Fine I'll talk to her if that's what you want!" "Clair, what happened?"

"There is no ice cream in the fridge!!!!!" Clair was crying.

"Clair… I already told you. We can't buy ice cream every week… We don't have the money nor it is good for your health."

"No! Clair wants ice cream now!"

"Clair… we can't…"

"No!!!!! Agagagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" 

 

Champion Lance was sitting with his friend, Champion Leon for a coffee and cookies at the nearby room. "It is so good to see you, Leon. How is it going lately?"

"Fine. I keep finding strong trainers and battling them. Pokémon battles are so fun!"

"Remind me when was the last time you have lost a battle?"

"Six years ago. But I wasn't using my Charizard during that time. The last he lost a battle was eight years ago."

"Wait a second! It was the first time you've battled ME! You mean I'm your Charizard's last lose?!"

"Indeed."

"You are just making fun of me. Since that time you've me beat ten times already!"

Leon giggled. "By the way, how is Clair? How is she doing these days?"

"She is fin-"

"Lance!!!!!!" The grandfather rushed into the room. "Please help me! There is a trainer who wants to challenge us and Clair is still crying and she doesn't want to accept their challenge!"

"I shouldn't have asked…" Leon apologized.

 

After a few days of sailing the Furukawas reached Goldenrod City at Johto. They saw that the city was rebuilt to its former glory. This place was the one they were re-united as a family.

"Wait…. Aren't those are…?" one citizen said as he noticed the Furukawas.

"No way… the heroes?" another said.

"Those are them. They are the ones who saved me." The old man mayor of the city explained "Furukawa Waiareas, Furukawa Ryu, and their daughter Furukawa Miakko. They were the ones who fought Giovanni. Without them who knows what would have happened to us."

The Furukawas where surprised to see the welcoming approach of the citizens. "Wait… what is this?!" Miakko was shocked. She saw a giant statue of stone showing her and her parents fighting Giovanni. "But… because of me the battle started…"

"Don't make lessen of yourself" the mayor said. "The one who started the battle was Giovanni. It is true that because of the battle people were killed, but many more would have been killed if you weren't around. Giovanni has said that to you only for you to blame yourself. You weren't wrong."

"Thank you." Miakko said.

"You did It, Miakko." Ryu praised her.

"All of us did." Miakko smiled.

"I wanted to thank you all of the past year." The mayor said. "So I decided to build this statue. But then I realized that the statue is more for us, and not you. So I've though for something I could give you in return, and the answer was simple; a Pokémon. Please, take this Eevee."

"Thank you." Miakko said. "Oh… but I have an Espeon already. Wait! I know! Mama, Papa; take it. This is my present to you for all what you've done for me."

"Well… Eevees are too cute for my style. They are not for me. Ryu, take it."

"I'll take care of it." Ryu said.

The three walked long days at the forests, mountains, and roads. They finally reached to their goal- Blackthorn City.

 

The entrance door of the GYM was locked. "Oh, it is locked. Bummer! I wanted to challenge Clair. I heard that she is really strong." Miakko said.

"Wait Miakko, what is this?" Ryu noticed a writing on the door.

'If you want to challenge me, bring me an ice cream.'

"What the hell is this?" Waiareas was confused.

"Could it be this GYM's requirement?" Miakko was wondering.

"It could be. Or it is a puzzle." Ryu said. "Clair is a Dragon type trainer. So you just need to a super effective Ice type Pokemon in order to get inside."

Miakko pushed the intercom button "I have a Lapras. Let me get inside."

"Ugagaaaa. No!!!! I want an Ice Cream!!!!!!"

"Was it a baby?" Waiareas was wondering.

"Oh well… let's buy an ice cream." Miakko said and the three went away.

"Wait a second!!!!!!" Lance saw them. "Aren't you challengers?"

"We are." Ryu answered. "But the GYM's requirement is to bring an ice cream. So we are going to buy some."

"What?!!!! Clair!!!! Wait a moment, I'll get you inside. I just need to take care of something first." he said and went inside the GYM.

"Ough!!!!!"

"Shitty woman!!!!"

"ARGHHHHHHHHHH"

"Stop humiliating the Indigo League!!!!!"

"UGAGAGA Ouchi ouch!!!!"

"You bitch!!!!"

Lance welcomed them. "You can get inside."

 

"Welcome to Blackthorn's GYM. I'm Lance and the GYM leader is my cousin, Clair."

"Lance? That Lance?" Miakko asked. "The champion?"

"Yes I am." The GYM's inside was covered in lava. Inside there was a pool of water. It was a magical place of extreme differences co-exists.

Clair showed her salty and angry face. "Miakko, let's battle. I'm not going to go easy on you. It will be four on three battle."

"Clair! This is not how it works! A GYM leader should never have an advantage on the trainer!" Lance got angry. "I'm sorry. It will be three on three battle."

"Lance! It is not fair!" Clair was about to cry.

"Shut up! It is the time to start!"

"Go! Kingdra!" Clair summoned the sea-horse to the pool.

Miakko summoned her Bisharp. Miakko assumed Clair's first move.

"Dragon Dance!" Clair ordered; exactly as Miakko thought.

"Thunder Wave!" Miakko ordered. This move paralyzes the foe; making its speed to drop, and sometimes being unable to attack.

"Swords Dance!" Miakko ordered.

"Nooooooooo!!!!!! My Kingdra is slower!!!!!!" Clair started crying. "Then I'll go with this! Waterfall!". Bisharp took a bit of damage, but not much.

"Night Slash!" Miakko ordered her Bisharp to use the Dark type move. It didn't make the Kingdra faint, but another one will make the job done.

"I'm out of options… Use Yawn!" The move did nothing. Miakko never heard of that move.

"Another Night Slash!" It made the Kingdra faint, but as soon as it did that, Bisharp fell asleep. This what Yawn does; make the foe sleep at the next move. It can be used very strategically, for example triggering a switch as by that way the victim won't be fallen asleep.

"Go! Exeggutor! Gagagigo…" The one was different than other Exeggutors; it was much taller, and wasn't a Grass/ Psychic type, but a Grass/ Dragon type. It was commonly called as "Alolan Exeggutor". Miakko decided to stay in; both of its STAB are weak against Bisharp. Not to mention that Switching will do nothing anyway- She still has to battle with her sleepy Bisharp if she'll lose a Pokémon. "Brick Break!" Miakko was surprised to see her Bisharp lose against a suprising move that she didn't know the stupid egg tree has.

"Go-"

"Wait!" Clair said. "Now it is the time for a break to eat a cake."

"Clair!!!!!!!!!!! This is no time for that!!!!!!!!!" Lance was about to explode. "Do it later!!!!!!!!!"

"But Lance!!!!!!!"

"No 'But'!!!!!! Or else I'll have to punish you!!!!!"

"Fine… use your next Pokémon…"

Miakko was thinking what the hell Clair's problem is. How is a twenty six years old woman acts like a toddler. Nevertheless, she summoned her next Pokémon; Scyther. "Wing Attack!"

"Such suchy weak weaky move! That won't be enough!"

'What's wrong with her….' Miakko was thinking. "Think again!". Wing Attack damaged the egg tree with a fairly great damage.

'Technician… this is how…' Lance was thinking. 'She knows very well how to use abilities.'

"Dragon Hammer!"

"No Clair! Don't!" Lance called.

Dragon Hammer did a decent damage to Scyther, but made the egg faint. Recoil damage, that's what happened.

"Nooooooo!!! I lost!!!!!!"

"Clair, you still have one more Pokemon! Don't give up!" Miakko encouraged her.

"Oh! Right righty! Go Turtonator!" She summoned her ugly tortoise dragon.

Miakko has never seen this Pokémon, but she assumed it is a fire/ dragon type due to its appearance. It will also make sense theme wise; a water dragon, then a grass dragon, and finally a fire dragon.

"Flamethrower!" Clair ordered. Miakko assumed it will happen and switched to her Chandelure who absorbed the damage with its ability Flash Fire.

'Clair has lost… unless Miakko will make a stupid mistake, there is no way for Clair to win' Lance was thinking. 'Miakko's Chandelure is better in every single stat that matters for this battle…'

"Shadow Ball!" Miakko ordered.

"Dragon Pulse!"

Eventually the battle was over, with Miakko's victory. Miakko waited for Clair to bring her the badge, but she didn't do it. "The badge please?"

"No!" Clair was crying.

"Clair! Give her the badge!" Lance said with a threatening voice.

"No! She bullies me! It is not fair!"

"Nobody bullies you! Sometimes part of the job as a GYM leader is to lose! Give it to her, now!"

"No!"

"Clair!!!!!!!!!!!!!" lance came toward her and slapped her in the face. "Stupid woman!"

"Ouch!"

"Ugly!" "Failure!" "Idiot!" "Act for your age!" "You are fucking adult!" he slapped her even more. "Wait I'm still thinking about the next swearing word!" "I know; Silicone implants!"

"Stop!" Miakko grabbed Lance's arm. "That's enough! If that's what you will do to your cousin than I don't care for the badge!"

"That shitty woman needs to be disciplined!"

"Champion Lance… I've never thought you are such a person. I heard about your battles, and that's who you are?!" Miakko said and left. "I never thought that he is like that…" Miakko was about to cry.

Ryu hugged her daughter. "Unfortunately people are just a façade. Sometimes your idols are completely different people than what they are shown to be in media."

"Excuse me…" Clair's and Lance's grandfather came outside of the GYM and said "I'm sorry for what you've seen now… here is your badge."

"Oh… it is okay." Miakko said.

"Please don't blame Lance. The way Clair is now is my fault. I've been spoiling her for years. Eventually she got out of control and Lance had to take over."

"Which is by violence?" Waiareas glared at him.

The grandfather couldn't look at Waiareas' eyes "Yes… that's the only way he knew of."

"One more question; Clair seemed to be kind of weak, but the reputation of this GYM was as a strong one. What happened?"

"That's because of Lance… this GYM has represented the Indigo League since Lance became an Elite Four member, and of course as a Champion. Lance kept paying money just for his reputation…"

"Ryu, Miakko, we are leaving. We have no business with them."

"Papa, shouldn't we do something?"

"We can do nothing; unless you are going to take care of Clair yourself. Can you do it?"

"I… cannot."

"Exactly. None of us can do it. You can't help everyone you see, Miakko."

 

Lance reflected on what happened and what he has done. He knew he shouldn't have done it. He knocked on the door of Clair's room. "Clair… we need to talk… I'm sorry…"

She wasn't answering.

'Maybe she is asleep… I'll let her to calm down and talk to her later…'

 

Two hours later…

"Lance! You burned the kitchen or something?" Clair's mom said. "What is this smell?!"

"No I did not. I didn't cook for a while since you are such a great chef."

"Wait… it comes from Clair's room!" her mom said.

They opened her door. And saw the most disturbing they ever seen in their life…

"No!!!!!!!!!!!! Clair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lance cried.

Clair's hanged body… she killed herself due to Lance's terrible treatment…

Writer Notes:

We did it guys! We have reached to 35 chapters; The total length of "Homo Sama No Daibouken"! But the story is far from being over. Also about this chapter… I've planned it at the start as a comedy… well… that didn't turn out to be like that as I actually wrote it… oops…                 

                           

Lance's design. By me
