《Pokémon : An Unexpected Journey》Stop Lying
Advertisement
The tension in the room was palpable as Green and Austin faced off against each other. Tears welled up in Green's eyes as she accused Austin of lying, while Yellow watched on, her lips quivering with emotion.
Austin sighed and turned his laptop towards Green, revealing files and journal entries from her father. The room fell silent as he clicked on the enter key, and a voice recording began to play.
[ ~ Sigh ~ What am I doing with my life? Helen has left to find our dead daughter. Why can't she understand that Green couldn't be alive after being kidnapped by a damn legendary Pokémon? ~ Sigh ~ Don't worry, pumpkin I will bring you back one day if it's the last thing I do. ]
Green's eyes widened as she heard her father's voice for the first time in years. But even with all the evidence presented in front of her, Green refused to believe it.
Why should she? Her whole life had been spent searching for her parents, and now it seemed like it was all for nothing.
The room was filled with an awkward silence as Green struggled with her emotions. Yellow sensed the blast of anger and sadness emanating from her friend, while Austin fidgeted with his cigarette, his eyes darting around the room.
" This is a lie!" Green shouted, her fists clenched as she was already storming towards the door. "I don't have time for this. I need to find out the truth for myself."
( ~ Clang ~ )
The sound of the door slamming shut echoed throughout the silent room.
" Well, shit hit the fan," Lucario exclaimed, breaking the silence.
Austin sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I guess that's that then."
But Yellow wasn't so quick to give up. "You need to go after her."
Austin raised an eyebrow. "Why? She doesn't want to be found."
"Because she's hurting, you idiot!" Yellow snapped, her voice rising in frustration. "Don't you remember what it's like to lose someone you love?"

Austin winced at her words, his mind drifting back to the day when he lost Raticate.
" It's not our place to speak for her. She can do whatever she wants. She can keep the money but ....."
" But what ?!" Yellow for the first time shouted at Austin shocking everyone even Austin as she grabbed onto Austin's collar.
" Are the mission more important than our friend ?"
" I am sure I made that clear when I left Brock and Misty. If we don't stop Team Rocket, millions will die."
"Stop lying to yourself," Yellow said firmly.
Yellow's grip tightened as she glared at Austin and said," Ash, look me in the eye and say that lie once more. You never cared what Team Rocket's end goal was, you only wanted revenge against them for killing Raticate."
" Yes! That's right so I am not some saint who is doing this for the greater good! What do you want me to do ?!" Austin yelled back as he clenched his jaw.
Yellow's eyes blazed with intensity. "I want you to go after her. Not because it's the right thing to do, but because it's the human thing to do. Because you care about her as a friend, and you don't want to see her suffer."
" .... " Austin stayed quiet as he couldn't refute Yellow's words or rather he didn't want to refute her words.
At the end of the day, he truly empathized with Green's situation.
" So, now what ?" Lucario curiously asked as Austin sighed.
" Let's go get her before she does something she will regret in the future."

Celadon City was bustling with activity as people went about their daily lives. The air was thick with the sounds of chatter, laughter, and the occasional sound of a Pokemon battle. In the northeastern part of the city, stood a four-story building that served as a private teleporting service for the wealthy and elite. It was a sleek and modern structure with a glass façade that glinted in the sunlight.

Green, sprinted towards the building with her Jigglypuff in tow. The small pink Pokemon trailed behind her, struggling to keep up. The building's entrance was a set of glass doors that slid open as Green approached. She stormed in, her eyes scanning the room for the teleportation office. The young woman manning the desk jumped at the sight of Green's ferocious expression.
"What can I do for you, miss?" she asked, her voice quivering.
"New Island, teleport now," Green barked, her impatience palpable.
"Right away, miss. That will be 1000 pokedollars," the woman replied, her hands shaking.
"What did you say?!" Green's voice rose to a dangerous pitch.
"Eep, t-that will be 900 pokedollars," the woman stammered, trying to backtrack.
Green's unblinking glare was enough to make the woman drop the price even further.
"500 pokedollars," Green sighed, placing a wad of cash on the counter. Her Jigglypuff rolled her eyes at her trainer's bargaining habits.
.......
A few minutes later, Austin and Yellow burst into the office. The sudden entrance startled the young woman behind the desk, causing her to drop a pen.
"W-what can I do for you?" she stuttered, looking at Austin's piercing crimson eyes with fear.
"Did a young Burnett come to this place?" Austin demanded, his voice low and menacing.
"Y-yes," the woman replied, feeling a chill run down her spine.
"Where is she now?" Austin's voice grew even colder.
"I am sorry, but I can't disclose that information," the woman said, trying to maintain her composure.
Austin frowned and walked up to the woman's desk. He poked it with a single finger, and the desk cracked under the pressure, causing the woman to gasp in shock.
"Where is she?" Austin growled, his eyes burning with anger.
The sound of the desk cracking echoed through the room, making the woman tremble as she stared at Austin in front of her.
" ~ Gulp ~"

New Island, located between Cinnabar Island and the Orange Archipelago, was a desolate landmass with no signs of human habitation. It was a place where only the bravest of trainers dared to tread. Psychic energy swirled and popped as Green and her Alakazam materialized on the island's barren shores. The Alakazam handed her a small silver spoon, a psychic tool to break and signal for a return trip.
Green's piercing eyes darted around the desolate island in search of any signs of life.
"Jigglypuff, I choose you!" Green exclaimed, releasing the small pink Pokemon from her PokeBall.
Jigglypuff's cheerful face lit up as she floated towards Green. The tiny Pokemon was wearing her usual oversized pink scarf and had a marker in her hand, ready to doodle on any sleeping faces.
"Do your thing, Jiggly," Green said, pointing towards the horizon.
Jigglypuff began to inhale a large amount of air, inflating like a balloon. Green and Jigglypuff rose higher and higher into the air as they searched for any signs of life on the island.
"Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff shouted, pointing toward the base of a nearby volcano.
Green nodded in agreement, and they began to float toward the volcano. As they approached, they noticed a small structure at the base of the volcano, partially hidden behind a thick layer of mist.

Nameless Hypocrite
"Bastard, surrender yourself!" "You think you can escape our encirclement?!" "An omnicidal fiend like you can only atone in death!" Despite his precarious situation, a young man ignored the union's provocations. His violet robe was in tatters, showing the incredible number of attacks he received, yet there was no sign of injury. Noticing the light smile tugging at his lips, the pursuing heroes warily watched him, cautious of a final attack. It was only by working together that they could corner a monster like him. An arrow pierced the air, beelining towards the young man. A malicious gleam revealed itself in his eyes; he unsheathed his sword, a long, curved blade, and deflected the projectile, spiking it into the ground. The archer's eyes widened before being split in two. He died suddenly and indignantly. The group backed away; their former confidence diminished greatly by the invisible counter. It was then that the young man sighed, his voice full of lament and self-pity. "Being a saint truly is difficult, even the world cannot understand my righteous actions." The expressions of the surrounding heroes turned ugly. Such blatant hypocrisy! Yes, the protagonist is a villain. We don't do morals here. New chaps when I write them
