Shirr and
Katsuya traveled in Kanto for the last few weeks. For Katsuya, being with Shirr
was the happiest period of his life. Shirr, along with her family were the only
people who could have trust. She is the most important person for him, but he
was worried; He knew that Sabrina was stalking them and she could have appeared
at any moment and hurt his friend. No, friend won't be enough to describe her;
she gave him home, people he wanted to cherish. He was in deep love with her,
but due to his past and the treatment he had at his official home, Team Rocket,
and he didn't know what he should do to confess to her. He knew one thing; he
doesn't want to come back to Giovanni. But spending more time with Shirr could
end up with her death. He was struggling, what should he do? Leave her and
protect her, or stay with her and do his best trying to use his strength? The
real issue was that in reality, he can't protect her. Even with his Synchro
Pokémon, Toxicroak, that was imbued at his body he still was defeated by her
when they first met. How can he protect someone who is stronger than him? Not
to mention that out of all the Synchro Pokémon users of Team Rocket he is by
far the weakest.
Shirr
treated Katsuya with a meal. She bought for him a croissant filled with
chocolate. "Sorry…" Katsuya said.
"What's
wrong?" she asked.
"You
always treat me, yet I always eat alone afterwards."
"Katsuya,
it is okay. You have your problems. You just don't to show your face. That's
fine."
"…
Why do you always act like that? You know nothing about me yet you are always
considering and nice. Despite you know me for over a year I haven't shown you
my face…"
"But
I know you. I know you always help me when I need, you calm me down when I'm in
a bad mood, what a person needs more than that?"
"You
know nothing about my past yet I know everything about you; your family, your
history, everything. I could me a murderer you know!"
Shirr held
Katsuya's hand "Katsuya, you are you. I know the you of now. I need no
more than that. We are family at this point, and I won't force you tell me if
you don't want to. When you'd feel you want to tell me, I'll gladly listen.
This is how family is."
"….
Not the family I know of…" he said very quietly to himself. Shirr didn't
hear that.
"Well,
enough of that for now. Katsuya, I challenge you to a battle!"
"Right
now?"
"You
want eat and we'll do it later? The point is, enough with the depression."
"No."
Katsuya took out one of his Pokeballs "Go! Umbreon!"
"Then
I'll go with this one! Go, Walrein!"
They spent
the whole day together with battles against each other. At the evening they
rented a room at Pewter City to spend the night. Katsuya felt Sabrina's
presence and he knew that he must take a decision now, before it is too late.
He waited for Shirr to fall asleep, left his belongings and Pokémon at the
room, and at 10:50 PM he left the room. Sabrina was waiting for him outside.
"Good decision, Katsuya. You finally came back to the place you belong
to." Sabrina said. Katsuya left without saying a word. It was difficult
enough for him, but what choice he had?
"Oh,
Katsuya is back!" One Team Rocket member said.
"Katsuya,
I've heard that you have a girlfriend! Who could believe that you of all people
had one?" another Rocket member mocked him.
"No,
no. It is impossible! He is probably in deep love with her but she doesn't
care!"
"As
if anyone could love Katsuya. He is just the boss' personal puppet!"
"You
are too cruel. He is going to cry! Hahahaha!!!!!!"
"You
guys! Enough with that!" Sabrina put end to this. "The boss is going
to punish Katsuya personally. Don't dare to intervene!"
"We
are sorry Sabrina!!!!!!" they bowed.
"Although…
I agree. Even if she likes him she will hate Katsuya once she sees the truth!
Hahahaha!!!!!!!!" Sabrina laughed.
All of the
Team Rocket members laughed together.
'I know
this already… The only reason that Shirr travels with me is because she doesn't
know the truth!!!!!! Once she'll know she'll run away, as my mother abandoned
me as a baby. No one could truly love me!'
"Where
have you been all this time?!" Giovanni slapped Katsuya. "You haven't
sent me even a single Pokémon for this year and a half!"
"You
told me that my job as Team Rocket member is suspended for now!"
"And
you told me that you will still send me Pokémon. I didn't give the job to other
members because I was depended on you! Because of you we've lost
millions!"
Katsuya
stayed silent.
"It
is because of your girlfriend, right?!"
"Shirr
has nothing to do with this!!!!"
"You
even call her by her first name, she changed you that much!" Giovanni
punched him. "I'll have to punish you." Giovanni used Psychic and
threw Katsuya to the "Training Room", a huge hallway that is used to
train Team Rocket's members and Pokémon.
Giovanni
got a call "What is it?"
Team
Rocket Member said to him "Someone attacks Team Rocket! It is a woman!
With Spiky red hair!"
'Shirr…
What are you doing here?' Katsuya was thinking.
"How
the hell she reached here so quickly?! Well, it is actually perfect for us.
I'll torture her and then kill her." Giovanni said. "Battle as much
as you can. I need her to be weak as possible."
"Boss!
Please!!!!! Don't touch her!"
"You
shut up! This is your punishment for disobeying me."
"I
came here so you won't harm her!"
"And
your girl was stupid enough to care about you. Even your mother threw you away
to the trash as a baby. Well, it is the best for her. She'll realize that you
are a Rocket member and then she'll reject you before her death."
"Giovanni!!!!!!!"
"I
told you to call me 'Boss' you piece of shit!" Giovanni slammed Katsuya
again with Psychic.
Thirty
minutes ago…
Shirr was
sleeping. She felt something heavy sitting on her stomach and licking her face
at the same time. "Umbreon, what's going on?" She noticed that
Katsuya is gone. "When I think about that… he was acting very strange
today…" Umbreon went outside the room "Umbreon, lead me to where
Katsuya is." She ran as fast as she could. It was no issue for her as a
sportswoman. She reached an underground basement. It was locked. "Katsuya
is here…" she didn't think twice and kicked the door and pierced it.
"What
is the sound?" one Rocket Member said.
"It
is the door!" another said. Two Rocket members went to check it.
"Team
Rocket… So that's to organization Katsuya belongs to. I almost forgot the day I
met him…" she said to herself as she saw the outfits "Katsuya is
here, right?!"
"She
is just one girl, I can handle her!" the first member said. "You
are-" he wasn't able to complete the sentence before Shirr kicked his chin
and knocked him out.
"Who
the hell is she?! Be careful guys! She might be as strong as that 'Blaze- Girl'
and her family!"
"What
nonsense you are say-" he wasn't able to complete his sentence as well
before getting knocked out by Shirr's kick that broke his spine.
"As I
said, tell me where Katsuya is!"
"We
need backups!!!!! She won't even let us to summon our Pokémon!!!!"
"Call
Sabrina!"
"She
just went out to buy herself something!"
"At
this hour?! What kind of stores are open at this hour?!"
"You
know better than I do! You go there all the time because you are a single and
lonely!!!!!"
"Fuck!!!!!"
"I'll
inform Giovanni!!!!"
Fifteen
minutes later.
"Giovanni
told me that we should take care of this!!!!!"
"Fucking
shit! She knocked out seventy percent of our entire division by herself without
using Pokémon!" he was knocked out as well.
"What
she finds about Katsuya anyway?!"
"Tell
me where he is. Now! Unless you want to lose some years of your life!"
Shirr glared at him.
"Fucking
hell! I'm not sacrificing my life for this! I'll tell you! Take the elevator to
floor minus 5, there where he is."
"You
should have done this way earlier. You have wasted my time!" she kicked
this Rocket out of rage.
Shirr took
the elevator down to floor minus 5. She misclicked and pushed the button of
minus 4, but she didn't notice that. She went outside the elevator and reached
at a dark room. "Katsuya?!" she called. The room was filled with
tanks of water, but more importantly, there were Pokémon in those tanks. There
were so many, but some of them included Blaziken, Samurott, Raichu, Inteleon,
Skarmory, and many others. She read the description "'Synchro Pokemon
materials'… Are those the sources of Katsuya's powers?" she said to
herself. She then noticed that she is at floor minus 4, not 5. She took the
elevator down and found Katsuya bleeding recumbent at the floor "Katsuya!
What happened to you?" she held him and helped him to stand up.
"Shirr…
why are you here… you know the truth about me now… why do still care?"
"You
think I'd run away from you just because you are Team Rocket member?! You think
I forgot that you attacked me when first met? But that's not the real you! The
real you is the one who lived with me at the same room for a year!"
"I
had enough with this!" Shirr got shot by Shadow Ball and pushed away from
Katsuya "It is the punishment time!" Giovanni said. Energy Ball,
Shadow Ball, Shock Wave, and many other moves; Giovanni shot them one by
another at Shirr.
"Giovanni!!!!!
No, Boss! Please!!!! Stop!!!!"
"Do
you really think you have the right to ask that?" He then used Psychic on
Shirr and locked her in the air. "What do you find him about him anyway?
Do you know even how he looks like? Did he show you his face?"
"He
didn't. But I don't care. When Katsuya will feel it is the right time, then
I'll gladly accept."
"Hahahaha!!!!
That's because you don't know how he looks like! Even his mother abandoned him
because of his ugly face!"
"That's
all you have to say? People who judge other people by their look… I hate them
the most."
"Well…
that's what I've told him anyway. He actually believed that…" Giovanni
said and was about to reveal his cards. "I'm going to get rid of you two
so I'll tell you so you could know this at your afterlife… Katsuya has a scar
at his lips. But does he actually?"
"Giovanni…
what are you trying to say…? I do have that scar…"
"Because
your scar was made by me… twenty one years ago."
"What
are you talking about?! I'm only eighteen years old… how is this
possible?!"
"And
you even believed that… you are such a fool… Hahaha!" Giovanni laughed.
"So let tell me tell you, about the real you!"
"The
real me…?"
"In
short… I told you that your mother abandoned you. Well, she didn't. When I
first started with Team Rocket, I needed a unique soldier for myself. I found
one mother who just gave birth. She had no husband, so I chose her, and you to
kidnap. Sadly I couldn't bring myself to kill her as Team Rocket just started.
If I did so, my plans would have been screwed. So I just needed to do one thing,
make sure she'll never have the chance to see you. I cut your lips, and brain-washed
you to think you are ugly. Already at the age of three you refused to go out
without a mask. The plan was a success. You became the perfect puppet."
"You…
Do you realize what you have done to Katsuya?!!!!!" Shirr screamed.
"Katsuya! It is just as I said, people love you! You were never
wrong!"
"Giovanni!!!!!!!!!
You bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Katsuya shot a Sludge Bomb at
him. Giovanni attacked him with Psyshock.
"Story
time isn't over. When you were five years old I started testing my invention."
"Synchro
Pokémon… right?" Shirr asked.
"Right.
Synchro Pokémon is a method of fusing Pokémon into humans. It basically gives
humans the power of Pokémon, I fused Alazkazam into myself, and for you I gave Toxicroak.
The reason was simple; in a case you have go against me, you'll able to do
nothing with a Pokémon with four times weakness against mine."
"However, a few years afterward you fell into a coma during your training.
I was too violent on you. It took you three years to wake up. And you didn't
realize the time has passed at all. So I said nothing. You were thinking that
you are three years younger than what you actually were."
Katsuya
was about to break apart.
"What
about Katsuya's date of birth?! February 31?! Such a date doesn't exist!"
Shirr asked at rage.
"Oh.
It was simple. I gave him a random fake date of birth when he asked me when his
birthday, just to limit his chances to find his mother. I needed him as my
puppet. I forgot at the time that there is no 31 at February, so I explained to
him later that date was used in the past. It is magic how that idiot believed
that." "Now I'll have to get rid of you, the woman that changed and
ruined my soldier!"
"Katsuya
hasn't changed!" Shirr declared. "I'm sure that he was always the man
I know. You just forced him to be like that!"
"No…
I'm a monster… I kill people and Pokémon. I'm a criminal…" Katsuya wasn't
in a stable state.
"Katsuya!
Listen to me! I know you better than anyone! You are good person! I can prove
that!"
"How
can you prove that?" Giovanni mocked her.
"Katsuya!
You were able to evolve your Eevee to Umbreon! Think about that! The only way
to do that is by care and love!"
"Woman!
You are getting on my nerves!!!!!" Giovanni shot a Psyshock at Katsuya. Shirr
drew to Pokeballs "It is no use for you to summon your Pokémon. This room
is built in such a way that it can cancel Pokballs from working at the push of
a button."
"Then
let's test it!!!!!!!!" Shirr shot the two Pokeballs at Giovanni, one at
his face and one at his stomach.
"What?!!!!!!!!!!"
He received the hits. One of the balls completely destroyed his eye and the
other one broke two his ribs. Shirr used the chance and took Katsuya and ran
away from the place. Giovanni was knocked out heavily injured. He will wake up
ten hours later, and will swear that he has to get rid of those two personally
when he'll fully heal.
Two hours
later…
Katsuya
was calmed down a bit. Shirr prepared him a meal as Katsuya lied down at the
bed. "Shirr!" he said.
"What
is it?"
"I
can't hold it back anymore…" he took off his mask. "Shirr, I love
you."
"Me
too."
"No!
Not like a family. As a woman."
"I
meant the same thing. I love you as a man. And I gotta say, Katsuya, you are
handsome."
"Is
it okay for me to do it?"
No… you
don't mean… They are going to cancel her period?!!!!!
Shirr
kissed him at his lips. "I love you."
Please… no…
Fucking
shit they are doing it! Holy shit what he is doing to her?!!!! So brutal!
… Now she
is on top!!!!!
Two hours
has passed…
For fuck
sake they probably tried every pose possible and they are still in that!
… I'm
about to throw up… I prefer men man X man, not man X woman…. I can't watch it
anymore… let's look at other things in the world…
"Brazle!"
"Hiroki!"
"Brazle!"
"Hiroki!"
You two
just started dating god dammit!!!!!!
Let's find
another place before I'll throw up again…
"Waiareas!"
"Ryu!"
"Waiareas!"
Fuck my
life…….. I give another chance before killing myself…
"Nog!"
"Matoi!"
Yes!!!!!!
That's what I love!!!!!
"Hydro
Pump!!!!!!"
"Tail
Whip!!!!"
The best…
Shirr and
Katsuya were sleeping together and hugging each other. "Katsuya… we have
to find your mother. I'm sure that she is somewhere searching for you."
"I
know. That's why I'm done with masks. Thanks to you. But I have to get
stronger, so I can protect you."
"I'll
train you." And they kissed each other again.
