Whole fanfic is now estimated to be 71% done! I've started editing and merging some of the chapters so I can post it in Fanfiction.net... ;)
Anyways, enjoy this next chapter! Lots of intrigue! :P
I couldn?t believe my ears. They were planning to take over the strongest Pok?mon ever and use it against us. Even though I haven?t heard much of this Mewtwo, Marina explained to us on our way back to the hotel.
?It?s a genetically engineered Pok?mon made just for destruction!? Marina exclaimed as we walked down the darkened street. Only street lamps lit the way as we walked.
?Hold on a second. If they?re looking for it, what are the chances of finding one Pok?mon in this whole region?? I said as rubbed my hands together. It was cold that morning. Especially since now I have to look behind my back once in a while.
?I don?t know?but I have this weird feeling that they?ll reach it?? Marina muttered. Nick and Michelle were silent and were trailing behind us. Emily was walking beside me listening intently.
?Maybe we can?t?but someone can?? I thought to myself, hoping desperately for Toshin, Sakaki or Makoto.
?Maybe we can tell your parents, Marina!? Nick exclaimed from behind us.
?Yeah, I?m sure they can do something about it?? Michelle?s voice trailed off as we entered the hotel.
~*~*~*~
Gold and Crystal were both dumbstruck.
?Mom, dad, please believe me!? Marina pleaded.
We were inside Marina?s parent?s room. The room was just like ours only, there were suitcases and baggage with clothes everywhere and crib was near the window where baby Kenta slept.
I just explained to them my whole story?about Pryce, his minions, and everything. Their faces showed terror as I went on.
?It can?t be,? Gold muttered softly as he looked down and placed his hand over his forehead. ?They?they said they defeated him years ago!?
?But he said he wasn?t sure. He said that he might come back, remember?? Crystal reassured Gold as she placed her arm around him in a comforting way.
?Excuse me?but who?s ?he??? I asked them.
Crystal looked at me sternly and sighed. ?Gary?I?m not sure if you?ve met him before but?have you met a man called Toshin??
?Yeah, I have!? I exclaimed as I stood up. I didn?t notice that my voice was louder. ?I met him before!? I was so loud that I woke up baby Kenta. Gold looked up at me with a serious expression.
?Gary, calm down!? Nick said as he held me down. Michelle, Marina and Emily were shocked by my outburst.
?S?sorry?? I stammered as I sat back down.
Crystal smiled. ?It?s okay?we usually have our random outbursts.? She stood up and went to Kenta?s crib. She cradled the crying baby and sang sweetly as we were all silent. I remembered my mother singing me to sleep. The memory of her stroking my hair as she sang was still vivid in my mind. As baby Kenta stopped crying and slept, Crystal placed him back on his crib.
?I?m sorry about that,? I said again.
Crystal simply sighed again. ?Gary, it?s all fine.? She looked at Gold sternly and Gold looked back at her. She then drew her attention to me. ?So, you knew about Toshin??
I nodded, trying to control myself this time. ?Now?Pryce is going to try to find Mewtwo and use it against us?? I said slowly.
Gold and Crystal paused. ?Mewtwo, huh?? Gold muttered.
?I know it?s kinda hard to believe, but you have to believe us, dad!? Marina pleaded.
?Don?t worry, Marina. I believe you guys. This has happened before and it?s happening again.? Gold replied smiling at us. ?For now?it?s best that all of you should stay low.?
Crystal nodded. ?If we can contact Toshin, maybe he can help?? She said to us.
?I know! I?ll try to contact him!? I exclaimed again, standing up.
?Gary!? Michelle and Nick both said at the same time pulling me down this time.
Gold and Crystal looked at me as if I was a deranged kid.
?But how can you contact him?? Crystal asked me.
?I can! His sister gave me this Pok?mon that I can talk to and I know she can contact him!? I said as I took out Abby?s Pok?ball.
?Incredible!? Marina exclaimed examining Abby?s Pok?ball. ?A Kadabra??
I nodded and sent out Abby. She looked around curiously around the room and then to me.
?Just give me time. I know I will find him!? I said to them and then closed me eyes.
?Abby?? I thought. ?Abby, can you hear me??
?I can, young master,? She replied. The familiar young girl?s voice lingered in my mind. ?I know of the events and I shall now contact Toshin as you wish.?
I opened my eyes and I could see Abby?s eyes gleaming. ?She doing it now,? I whispered.
?I didn?t know you could talk to your Pok?mon!? Nick muttered.
?So that?s why you win so much battles!? Michelle added as she quickly sat next to me.
?Amazing! I?ve never seen a trainer understand its Pok?mon before?except for Yellow?? Crystal gasped as she examined Abby.
?Wow, that?s cool!? Gold added as he, too examined Abby.
Then, Abby?s eyes stopped glowing.
?It is done. He is now aware of the events and he said that he will meet you in Pallet town.? Abby said to me all of the sudden.
?Thank you, Abby. Thank you!? I thought as I returned it.
?Well??
?Abby said that Toshin knows everything now. She said that I should meet Toshin in Pallet town.? I replied. ?I have to go there now??
?Wait, isn?t it too dangerous?? Crystal asked me. ?I?m worried about you Gary. You?re the only one your mother has left. If she loses you??
?I know what I?m doing. I?ve risked my life a lot of times and now, I have to talk to him quick!? I said as I began to move out of the room.
I looked back at my friends and they looked shocked. ?Sorry guys?but I have to go to Pallet town now.? Then, I looked at Crystal. She was smiling.
?You have a brave heart, Gary. I just hope you will make it there safely,?
~*~*~*~
I was back in our hotel room. I was standing in front of the glass window gazing at the lighthouse. I looked over at the dark horizon. Now, my fate is to be determined. There is no turning back now. The sea was calm as the waves slowly moved. The stars twinkled up above. The moon was just a single silver crescent in the sky.
My friends were sleeping. They have no intention of following me to Pallet town except for Emily. I think she believes that she will see her father again through me. That?s why she wanted to follow me. She?s sleeping now for sure. However, I didn?t expect someone else to be awake.
?G?Gary?? I heard a familiar whisper behind me.
I turned around to see Michelle in her pajamas. Her bright blue eyes were bright as the faint moonlight shined through the room.
?Huh? I thought you?re sleeping?? I whispered.
?I?m sorry if I disturbed you or something?but I have something to say to you?? She whispered guiltily then approached me.
?What is it??
?G?Gary?I wanted to tell you this a long time ago?but I can?t?I don?t want to?because I?m afraid?? She whispered softly.
?What? What do you want to tell me?? I asked her impatiently.
?Gary, I can?t tell it. It?s so obvious that Emily likes you so much! She always holds your hand and you?re the only one who can make her talk!? She said, her voice getting louder. I was thinking that Emily might wake up Nick or Emily.
?What?? I looked at her with a puzzled look. ?I don?t understand??
?Gary, do you love her?? She said, forcing out an answer from me. She had a look of desperation in her face as she leaned forward at me. ?Do you love Emily??
?No?I mean?she?s a friend and??
?She?s a friend, huh? She kissed you once before. I knew it from Nick!? She gasped as tears began to drop stream down slowly from her eyes. ?You two aren?t just friends!?
?We?re just friends, okay? I don?t love her or anything!? I argued back. ?Why are you telling me this anyway??
?Gary?don?t you get it? I love you too!? She sobbed. ?Emily?she loves you I know it in my gut?but I?I love?you too!?
I was shocked when she said those words. I was just paralyzed at the spot.
?Didn?t you notice? When I hugged you in Viridian forest? Why I changed so much? Why I wanted to become stronger? I just wanted you to know that I?ve changed so that you can love me back!? Tears flowed from her blue eyes. Then she threw her arms around me.
?I?I don?t understand?if you do like me?why didn?t you say so a long time ago?? I stammered as I felt her embrace.
?Because I was scared?I was scared that you wouldn?t love me back?? She sobbed. ?But now?Emily loves you?I know that!? She cried then released me from her embrace. ?She always held your hand. She?s always so close to you. You?re the only one who can talk to her. When you can?t sleep and you sit up, awake, I was worried about you. But then Emily would be awake and you always talk to her!?
?But, Michelle?? I began but I trailed off. ?Look, please stop crying. I just don?t know what to say?I mean we?re friends and all?? I said as I wiped her tears with the long sleeve of my pajama. ?She?s just a friend to me!?
Michelle looked at me sternly as she held my hand. She looked at me straight in the eye. ?Gary?do you love Emily or me?? She cried tearfully.

Chapter 56: Torn in between friendship and love

I'm glad you gus loved the chapter! ^_^
My head throbbed as I searched for a good answer. Either way, I wasn?t sure if I could make a good decision or not. I looked down at her tearful eyes?she just couldn?t wait for the answer.
?Answer me, Gary!? She whispered with a trembling voice. ?Please, answer me??
I remained silent and looked out at the window. It was still night. The dark navy blue sky was full of stars that night. Then I looked back at her.
?Neither?? I replied then smiled. ?You?re guys are my friends. Even if you love me, I can?t love you back. It?s because you?re my friend.? I then took a deep breath then exhaled. ?Even if Emily loves me, I can?t love her, too. It?s because?she?s my friend??
Michelle wiped her tear. ?I?I guess your right?? She stammered and then sighed. She walked back to the bed and sat down on the floor with her back against the bed.
When I was lying on the floor with my pillow and blanket, half asleep, I heard Michelle crying. Perhaps it was a bad decision to tell her that?but then again?I had no choice?
~*~*~*~
The next day, when I woke up, I was alone in the room. I yawned as I stretched my arms then rubbed my eyes. I scanned the room. The bed was still untidy. I took my pillow and blanket and placed it on top of the bed. But then, I noticed a letter on the floor, conveniently placed near the door where I would notice it when I would go out of the room. I picked up the enveloped letter and opened it. I felt something in the envelope. I looked inside and noticed a bright orange piece of metal shaped like a flame.
Maybe the letter would answer some questions I thought as I began deciphering the message. Since the letter was handwritten by a man with scrawny handwriting. After a few minutes, I managed to understand it:
Dear Gary,
I have been told that you were the son of Green, the famous former gym leader of Viridian city. It is an honor to meet his son since I haven?t met him in person in my life. I also have heard that he disappeared years ago without a trace. I am sorry for this incident since I cannot yield any clues.
The reason I wrote this letter is to give you this badge. Your father once saved the world from a great calamity. That is what my father has told me before. It is a great honor to be saved by the same man?s son. Thank you!
Yours truly,
Foster (Cinnabar Island Gym Leader)
PS: Don?t worry about the free badge. I hope it might help you in your training. You might have already heard that these badges can unlock you Pok?mon?s greatest potential.
I folded the message as I stuffed it back on the envelope and looked at the badge. It was another easy win to get another badge?but I?m thinking the last two gym leaders won?t be as easy?
I readied myself as I went to the bathroom to get dressed.
~*~*~*~
I found myself in the breakfast hall immediately. The breakfast hall was more like a huge all you can eat restaurant rather than a simple one. Tables lined across the hall and counters were filled with delicious food?eggs, sausages, fruits, cereals, and more! I tried to look around for my friends but couldn?t find them.
That morning, I had no appetite to eat. The incident last night was still vivid in my mind. My stomach twisted as I remembered that Pryce was still after me. I didn?t hear Nick?s voice from behind as I pondered.
?Gary! Gary, over here!? Nick yelled.
When I finally noticed that he was there, I quickly turned around to meet his smiling face.
?Good morning!? He greeted.
?Morning,? I muttered as I picked up a bowl of cereal and a small carton of milk.
?Huh? Something bothering you?? He asked me as he led me to the table where the rest of my friends were sitting.
Emily was happy eating some of her food while Michelle looked depressed as she played with hers. Marina was sitting across the table with her parents, talking happily and dodging Kenta?s food, which he threw with his spoon.
?Nah,? I replied as I quickly put on a wide smile. ?I?m just nervous going back home.?
?Oh, yeah!? Nick exclaimed as we both sat down. ?Yeah, everyone gets nervous!? But then he noticed his sister. ?Michelle, why are you so sad all of the sudden??
Michelle shrugged then shook her head. She was still looking down at her food. I remembered how sad she was last night but I tried to take that off my mind as I opened my milk carton and poured milk all over my cereal bowl. The cereal was more like flakes of corn or something?I didn?t get a taste of it much since I was preoccupied inside.
?Are you sure you guys don?t want to follow me to Pallet town?? I asked Nick who was finished with his breakfast.
He nodded reassuringly. ?Yeah. Besides, I?ve got to catch up with some badges.? He then nudged me. ?By the way, what was in that letter you got??
?Oh that?? I muttered as I fumbled through my pockets searching for the envelope. ?Here, read it!?
Nick read it quickly and was amazed. ?You got the badge??
?Yep,? I took out my badge, boasting it to Nick.
?Whoa?man, Gary, you?re so lucky!? Nick gasped as he examined the badge.
?Yeah?lucky?? Michelle muttered.
Nick ignored his sister while he was still glorifying my badge. ?You got two more to go, huh??
I nodded. ?Once I go home, I?m going back to Saffron and then I?m going to Viridian!?
~*~*~*~
As we left the breakfast hall, I noticed that Emily was clinging to me again. When Nick and Michelle decided to head on their way back to the room, this was my time to talk to Emily.
?Emily??
She looked at me curiously. ?Yeah??
?Can?can I talk to you about something?? We were sitting together on one of the chairs in the main lobby of the hotel. However, there were fewer people around this time. I saw Marina and her family walk by happily as they went off back to their room.
?What?s it about?? Emily asked sweetly as she smiled.
?Emily?well?I?ve been wondering lately. Don?t get mad at me but?do you?well?like?I mean?l?love me?? I stammered as I tried to put some sense in my words. My voice trembled as I did so.
Emily blushed as she stared back at my nervous eyes. She looked nervous as she tried to find an answer. ??Gary, I do?? She whispered, as she blushed then smiled innocently.
I smiled back but then I was serious once more. ?Emily?this is kinda hard to say but?I can?t love you back??
She gasped as her eyes widened. ?But Gary?? She cried in desperation. ?I?I love you?doesn?t that mean anything to you??
?It does but?Emily?we?re friends. I can?t?I can?t love you back.?
?But why?? I could see tears forming behind her eyes. ?I thought?I thought you cared for me?and, and??
?That?s because we?re friends, Emily!? I said raising my voice. I wasn?t myself for a while. I wasn?t myself last night. I was more than my usual self.
?Gary?? Emily sobbed. ?But?but?? She stood up and ran out the doors, crying uncontrollably.
?Emily!? I yelled as I ran after her. ?Emily, wait!?
I ran as fast as I could but couldn?t find her when I reached the streets. People bumped into me, as I looked left to right. Where could she have been?
?Emily!? I yelled, calling out her name. ?Emily, Emily, EMILY!?
~*~*~*~
I couldn?t find her. She just disappeared?gone?I searched everywhere for her. I searched every alley, corner, beach?I asked people but to no avail. I just gave up. She could have been gone somewhere now?
I didn?t want to go back to that hotel room and face my friends?face Michelle again?I gazed at the ocean as the midday sun, burned my skin. My palms were sweaty as I tried to make a decision?to go beyond and leave everyone without telling or to stay and tell them why Emily left. It was afternoon when I stopped trying to find her.
The wind blew through my hair as I closed my eyes and exhaled. Why did this happen? Why? ?It is true though?I don?t love Emily or Michelle. To me, they were just friends. To them, I was someone more than a friend?I was being forced in between?now, there?s no turning back.
I summoned out Gabby and rode on her back. ?Straight ahead, Gabby! To Pallet town!?
We were all friends. Friends that could understand each other?supporting each other?defending each other?knowing one another. As I glanced back at Cinnabar Island, which was just a dot over at the horizon, I wanted to fall down on the water?Emily lingered in my mind. Her sweet smile and her curious stare?I couldn?t stop myself from thinking to what a fool I was?
I rubbed a tear that was coming out of my eye harshly. But my memories with Emily were so vivid. Those nights were she wanted to be with her father?I was the only substitute in her life. Whenever she held my hand, I guess I was more than a friend to her. Those thoughts of her were things I can?t take off?
I now looked what was in front of me. Pallet town. The houses of the quiet, peaceful town were now visible as Gabby swam across the sapphire blue sea with great speed. Toshin would be there waiting for me?so is my mother?

Jikan yokoku: Chapter 58: Lament of the broken heart
Chapter 57: Ripped apart
My head throbbed as I searched for a good answer. Either way, I wasn?t sure if I could make a good decision or not. I looked down at her tearful eyes?she just couldn?t wait for the answer.
?Answer me, Gary!? She whispered with a trembling voice. ?Please, answer me??
I remained silent and looked out at the window. It was still night. The dark navy blue sky was full of stars that night. Then I looked back at her.
?Neither?? I replied then smiled. ?You?re guys are my friends. Even if you love me, I can?t love you back. It?s because you?re my friend.? I then took a deep breath then exhaled. ?Even if Emily loves me, I can?t love her, too. It?s because?she?s my friend??
Michelle wiped her tear. ?I?I guess your right?? She stammered and then sighed. She walked back to the bed and sat down on the floor with her back against the bed.
When I was lying on the floor with my pillow and blanket, half asleep, I heard Michelle crying. Perhaps it was a bad decision to tell her that?but then again?I had no choice?
~*~*~*~
The next day, when I woke up, I was alone in the room. I yawned as I stretched my arms then rubbed my eyes. I scanned the room. The bed was still untidy. I took my pillow and blanket and placed it on top of the bed. But then, I noticed a letter on the floor, conveniently placed near the door where I would notice it when I would go out of the room. I picked up the enveloped letter and opened it. I felt something in the envelope. I looked inside and noticed a bright orange piece of metal shaped like a flame.
Maybe the letter would answer some questions I thought as I began deciphering the message. Since the letter was handwritten by a man with scrawny handwriting. After a few minutes, I managed to understand it:
Dear Gary,
I have been told that you were the son of Green, the famous former gym leader of Viridian city. It is an honor to meet his son since I haven?t met him in person in my life. I also have heard that he disappeared years ago without a trace. I am sorry for this incident since I cannot yield any clues.
The reason I wrote this letter is to give you this badge. Your father once saved the world from a great calamity. That is what my father has told me before. It is a great honor to be saved by the same man?s son. Thank you!
Yours truly,
Foster (Cinnabar Island Gym Leader)
PS: Don?t worry about the free badge. I hope it might help you in your training. You might have already heard that these badges can unlock you Pok?mon?s greatest potential.
I folded the message as I stuffed it back on the envelope and looked at the badge. It was another easy win to get another badge?but I?m thinking the last two gym leaders won?t be as easy?
I readied myself as I went to the bathroom to get dressed.
~*~*~*~
I found myself in the breakfast hall immediately. The breakfast hall was more like a huge all you can eat restaurant rather than a simple one. Tables lined across the hall and counters were filled with delicious food?eggs, sausages, fruits, cereals, and more! I tried to look around for my friends but couldn?t find them.
That morning, I had no appetite to eat. The incident last night was still vivid in my mind. My stomach twisted as I remembered that Pryce was still after me. I didn?t hear Nick?s voice from behind as I pondered.
?Gary! Gary, over here!? Nick yelled.
When I finally noticed that he was there, I quickly turned around to meet his smiling face.
?Good morning!? He greeted.
?Morning,? I muttered as I picked up a bowl of cereal and a small carton of milk.
?Huh? Something bothering you?? He asked me as he led me to the table where the rest of my friends were sitting.
Emily was happy eating some of her food while Michelle looked depressed as she played with hers. Marina was sitting across the table with her parents, talking happily and dodging Kenta?s food, which he threw with his spoon.
?Nah,? I replied as I quickly put on a wide smile. ?I?m just nervous going back home.?
?Oh, yeah!? Nick exclaimed as we both sat down. ?Yeah, everyone gets nervous!? But then he noticed his sister. ?Michelle, why are you so sad all of the sudden??
Michelle shrugged then shook her head. She was still looking down at her food. I remembered how sad she was last night but I tried to take that off my mind as I opened my milk carton and poured milk all over my cereal bowl. The cereal was more like flakes of corn or something?I didn?t get a taste of it much since I was preoccupied inside.
?Are you sure you guys don?t want to follow me to Pallet town?? I asked Nick who was finished with his breakfast.
He nodded reassuringly. ?Yeah. Besides, I?ve got to catch up with some badges.? He then nudged me. ?By the way, what was in that letter you got??
?Oh that?? I muttered as I fumbled through my pockets searching for the envelope. ?Here, read it!?
Nick read it quickly and was amazed. ?You got the badge??
?Yep,? I took out my badge, boasting it to Nick.
?Whoa?man, Gary, you?re so lucky!? Nick gasped as he examined the badge.
?Yeah?lucky?? Michelle muttered.
Nick ignored his sister while he was still glorifying my badge. ?You got two more to go, huh??
I nodded. ?Once I go home, I?m going back to Saffron and then I?m going to Viridian!?
~*~*~*~
As we left the breakfast hall, I noticed that Emily was clinging to me again. When Nick and Michelle decided to head on their way back to the room, this was my time to talk to Emily.
?Emily??
She looked at me curiously. ?Yeah??
?Can?can I talk to you about something?? We were sitting together on one of the chairs in the main lobby of the hotel. However, there were fewer people around this time. I saw Marina and her family walk by happily as they went off back to their room.
?What?s it about?? Emily asked sweetly as she smiled.
?Emily?well?I?ve been wondering lately. Don?t get mad at me but?do you?well?like?I mean?l?love me?? I stammered as I tried to put some sense in my words. My voice trembled as I did so.
Emily blushed as she stared back at my nervous eyes. She looked nervous as she tried to find an answer. ??Gary, I do?? She whispered, as she blushed then smiled innocently.
I smiled back but then I was serious once more. ?Emily?this is kinda hard to say but?I can?t love you back??
She gasped as her eyes widened. ?But Gary?? She cried in desperation. ?I?I love you?doesn?t that mean anything to you??
?It does but?Emily?we?re friends. I can?t?I can?t love you back.?
?But why?? I could see tears forming behind her eyes. ?I thought?I thought you cared for me?and, and??
?That?s because we?re friends, Emily!? I said raising my voice. I wasn?t myself for a while. I wasn?t myself last night. I was more than my usual self.
?Gary?? Emily sobbed. ?But?but?? She stood up and ran out the doors, crying uncontrollably.
?Emily!? I yelled as I ran after her. ?Emily, wait!?
I ran as fast as I could but couldn?t find her when I reached the streets. People bumped into me, as I looked left to right. Where could she have been?
?Emily!? I yelled, calling out her name. ?Emily, Emily, EMILY!?
~*~*~*~
I couldn?t find her. She just disappeared?gone?I searched everywhere for her. I searched every alley, corner, beach?I asked people but to no avail. I just gave up. She could have been gone somewhere now?
I didn?t want to go back to that hotel room and face my friends?face Michelle again?I gazed at the ocean as the midday sun, burned my skin. My palms were sweaty as I tried to make a decision?to go beyond and leave everyone without telling or to stay and tell them why Emily left. It was afternoon when I stopped trying to find her.
The wind blew through my hair as I closed my eyes and exhaled. Why did this happen? Why? ?It is true though?I don?t love Emily or Michelle. To me, they were just friends. To them, I was someone more than a friend?I was being forced in between?now, there?s no turning back.
I summoned out Gabby and rode on her back. ?Straight ahead, Gabby! To Pallet town!?
We were all friends. Friends that could understand each other?supporting each other?defending each other?knowing one another. As I glanced back at Cinnabar Island, which was just a dot over at the horizon, I wanted to fall down on the water?Emily lingered in my mind. Her sweet smile and her curious stare?I couldn?t stop myself from thinking to what a fool I was?
I rubbed a tear that was coming out of my eye harshly. But my memories with Emily were so vivid. Those nights were she wanted to be with her father?I was the only substitute in her life. Whenever she held my hand, I guess I was more than a friend to her. Those thoughts of her were things I can?t take off?
I now looked what was in front of me. Pallet town. The houses of the quiet, peaceful town were now visible as Gabby swam across the sapphire blue sea with great speed. Toshin would be there waiting for me?so is my mother?

Wow! You sure do impress Oni!
Poor Emily and Gary. Having to decide now.

Cant wait to read more

>.> .... <.< ... >.>
I'm doing this against my parent's will... O-o (not suppose to be on)
?Emily??
?Man, I can?t wait when I introduce you guys to my mom!?
?Emily??
?Do you love me??
?Emily??
?I?m just your friend! I can?t love you back!?
?EMILY!? I yelled as I woke up from my dream. Words echoed in my mind as I found myself in Pallet town?s beach. I gasped as I tried to breathe. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.
When I reached Pallet town, it was already night. I wanted to see my mother immediately but I was too tired. That?s why I just slept on the soft sands of the beach. I shook my head, sending off sand everywhere. Everything was dark?except for a small fire?
?Bad dream?? Toshin asked. His back was turned on me and he was facing the fire.
?To?Toshin?? I rubbed my eyes to be sure. It was him. ?Oh?yeah?sorta??
?Where?s Silver?s daughter. Didn?t you promise Blue and Silver that you?ll take care of her?? He asked me as he turned his head to look at me with one eye.
?Oh, Emily?? I sighed as I gazed at the fire. ??It?s kinda hard to explain. Well?she ran away, I guess??
?Ran away?? Toshin repeated as he faced me.
I remained silent thinking about her and what would happen. She might be stuck somewhere or maybe lost?
The sea breeze blew against my hair as I looked down at Toshin?s shadow, imitating the way the flames jump in the air then vanish. The waves roared again and again along with the wind.
?I see?? Toshin muttered as he looked at the fire again. His long black hair swayed with the wind. ?I know of the events. So far, they haven?t tracked Mewtwo down, yet.?
My heart leapt. There could be time. But then, something occurred in my mind. I remembered that Reiji was here?the one who killed Toshin?s family and his lover.
?Toshin?do you know that?the man who you?re hunting down?Reiji?is here?? I asked him.
?I know that,? He replied immediately after my question. ?That?s why I?m here.? He then looked up at the sky. ?It?s best you sleep now. I?ll tell you the rest of my plans tomorrow.?
I closed my eyes, even though I was still sitting up. I wasn?t feeling any sleepy. I just wanted to see my mother.
~*~*~*~
?So what are your plans?? I asked Toshin the next day. I heard my stomach growl as I asked him.
He threw me a bowl in reply. I caught the bowl but it slipped and landed on the sand of the beach. I picked it up and dusted it.
?My plans is to take down Reiji immediately. He?s the one controlling Pryce.? Toshin said as he threw me a wooden spoon. This time, I caught it with my left hand.
The rice boiled in a small pot on top of the fire. Toshin waited for it to be cooked.
?But how can you get to Reiji when Pryce and all his people are there for him?? I asked as I sat down next to him, staring at the boiling rice.
?Simple, really. When you kids were at that island where they were hiding, he killed all of his subordinates except Karen. Then, he fled with Reiji to Cinnabar.?
?Killed? All of them?? I asked in disbelief.
Toshin nodded. ?Don?t worry. I won?t be handling him alone. I have the others backing me up.?
?But how can you get Pryce out of the way??
?He is already out of the way. I heard Mewtwo was last sighted somewhere north of Saffron city. I asked Sakaki to contact the gym leaders in the surrounding area to tell the citizens that it?s out there loose. That would be my bait.? Toshin smirked as he used his spoon to scoop out steaming rice from the small, metal pot. ?You see Reiji is always too lazy to do his dirty work. Instead, he uses his subordinate cronies to do his dirty work.?
?But how can you track down Reiji when Pryce is away?? I said as he handed me the bowl of rice, some of it half burnt.
?He?s always around these days. Without anyone to protect him, he?d follow Pryce for sure.?
I ate my breakfast as I listened to Toshin?s plans. I nodded as I did.
?By the way, we?re leaving in a few hours. If you don?t do what you want to do now, now is your chance.?
?Huh? What do you??? But then it dawned in me. ?Oh?thanks?? I smiled.
~*~*~*~
I sighed as I stopped in front of my home. It was the same two-story house that I?ve seen for years of my life. The window on the second floor was open and the curtain was flowing out with the wind. The same wooden rocking chair was still there, however, it wasn?t rocking anymore. I walked up the steps and twisted the knob of the screen door.
?Mom?? I called. The wooden door was open. I pushed it and it emitted a creaking sound.
Inside, nothing much changed. It was the same carpet, same table, same sofa, same fireplace, same chairs, and the same vase full of yellow roses from her garden sat on the wooden table. I looked around the room?there was no sign of my mom. The same smell of my home wafted around me. It was the same and familiar smell that I have yearned to be once more in my journeys.
I walked out of the living room and into the kitchen. The kitchen was clean?as if it was newly cleaned. I looked at the tiled counter and the newly washed dishes were lying on the rack. The sweet smell of roses from the garden wafted the kitchen. The curtains from the window flowed with the blowing wind outside where I can see the garden. The wooden table and chairs where I used to eat happily with my mother was unchanged.
As I paused and closed my eyes, I heard the soft humming of my mother. She was humming sweetly, a soft tune that I?ve heard so many times in my life. I followed the soft hum as I walked across the tiled floor and to the backdoor. I pushed open the screen door and stepped outside. Outside is where my mother?s garden lay?her garden full of yellow roses?one of her stories, she used to tell me, my father gave her a single yellow rose when they were young. Now, her garden is full of them?
There she was, trimming her roses with her straw hat to shield her head from the sun?s heat. Her yellow hair flowed down her back as she hummed cheerfully. She sniffed a rose then added it to the bundle that she was holding in one hand. Tall, green bushes filled with yellow roses in the garden surrounded us.
?Mom,? I whispered then she stopped humming.
As I said the word, she quickly turned around. Her face displayed the joy inside her. She dropped her roses and her garden scissors and quickly ran to me. As she ran, her straw hat fell from her head.
?Gary!? She cried as she threw her arms around me.
?Mom, I miss you so much?? I said as I hugged her back tightly.
?Gary, Gary, Gary!? She cried as she continued to hug me. ?Welcome home,?
She kissed my forehead as we both separated. She hugged me again, while she ruffled my hair. ?It?s really you?I can?t believe it?s you, Gary??
?Mom, I missed you so much?? I said again as I hugged her. She was beginning to cry and I noticed that. Finally, as she let go of me, she smiled as she wiped her tears.
?I missed you, too?? She replied happily as she held my hand. ?Your clothes?what happened, Gary??
?I kinda got in a bit of trouble?? I said as I scratched my head while smiling.
?Gary, don?t be reckless!? She said turning serious all of the sudden. ?I don?t want you getting in trouble or getting hurt somewhere else!?
She was still the same mother I had?she cared for me and she was always worried about me.
?Gary?you?re the only one I have in this world. If I lose you?I can?t bear the thought of you gone. You?re the only memory I have left of your father. You?re the one thing that your father left me?? She trailed of as she began to cry again.
?Mom, it?s okay,? I said, as I wanted to tell her that dad is still alive. ?Dad?I know he?s alive. I just know he is!?
She looked up at me and smiled. ?Gary?I wish he was. I just wish he was here right now?? She whispered to me as she held my arm.
?Mom, believe me! I know he?s out there somewhere! Something weird happened a few days after I started training. It?s just weird mom! One time, I healed this Pidgey, then I can see these visions and?? I trailed off then paused. I breathed, as I wanted to say more. ?Then I saw how dad?how dad fought for you and me??
?You?you healed a Pok?mon?? She gasped. ?H?how??
?It?s something weird, mom. It?s like my hands were glowing and suddenly, I healed it!? I said as I felt my mother hold me tightly.
?But?that couldn?t be possible?? She was serious once more. ?Gary?do you realize what that means??
?Yeah! This guy, Toshin told me everything about it. Something forest spirits and stuff.? I looked at my mom and she was shocked.
?Toshin? You?you met him? What does he want from you??
?I just met him a few times and that?s it. And then, I met your old friends! I met all of them!? I said happily.
She finally smiled. ?As long as you?re safe, I?m happy.?
?Mom, I?m just sure dad is alive. I?m just sure of it! Everyone thinks so! Silver, Red, Toshin, Makoto?? I trailed of and remembered my friends.
?Makoto?you?ve met him too??
I nodded in reply to her question. ?Mom?I?ve seen you in one of my visions?he saved you before, didn?t he??
She smiled again and nodded. ?He saved me many times in my life. I?ve never expressed my gratitude to him, though?Gary?are you leaving again??
I nodded again, avoiding her teary eyes. ?Mom?I have to go?I don?t know when I?ll be back.? I said.
I could feel her hug me again. ?You?re so much like your father?I just wish he?s here. He?ll be proud of you??

All of you guys rule! XD Thanks for your continuing support!
Now I present the chapter that reveals 40%...er...(20%) of all the mysteries! XD
As I walked away from my home, I couldn?t stop the tears running down my cheeks. I didn?t want leave my mom. I didn?t know when I?d be back?but soon?maybe?I didn?t look back at my home. The familiar air that was around me in there was gone. Something familiar for years was gone in a few minutes as I found myself back in the beach.
?You?re back,? Toshin muttered. He was there to meet me. His dark eyes gazed at me and noticed my tears. ?That happens,?
I wiped my tears with my hands and didn?t answer him. He snorted when I was finally in front of him.
?Gary, are you ready?? He asked me as he took out an Ultra Ball.
I nodded as I took out Blaze?s Pok?ball. I looked down at the red and white ball. I?ve gone a long way now. I couldn?t possibly fail this time.
?Good,? He muttered as he summoned out his Pidgeot. ?It?s time to go.?
~*~*~*~
I scanned the area just north of Saffron city. There was nothing but fields, trees, rivers?nothing more. I looked at Toshin and he pointed downwards. I nodded and we both zoomed down. My hair was getting messier as we finally came to a stop and then landed softly on the ground.
Trees scattered through the whole field. I noticed the swaying green grass as I returned Blaze. Then as Toshin returned his Pidgeot, I noticed two dark figures next to him.
?Brother,? Sakaki whispered as she went next to him. She was about to throw her arms around him but stopped on her tracks.
Makoto smirked as Toshin looked at them. ?Any signs??
Makoto shook his head in disapproval. ?Nope, couldn?t find anything.?
I walked towards them and looked at their dark cloaks. I didn?t mention a word but I was quickly noticed.
?Ah, Gary?s here, huh?? Makoto exclaimed. ?Where?s Emily? Isn?t she supposed to be with you??
?Ran away,? Toshin answered his question then simply sighed as he turned his attention to the ground.
?Ran away? Gary, Silver said that you should take care of her!?
?I?m sorry?? I muttered. ?It?s just that?well?she was kinda confused and all?? I trailed off and fell silent.
Toshin then glanced to Sakaki. She seems to get his message quickly. Then, she looked at Makoto and Makoto seems to have a confused look in the face.
?Alright, I?ll do it, then!? Makoto blurted out all of the sudden. ?I?ll find her!?
?Huh??
?We just had a conversation?well?I?m going to find her for you.? Makoto muttered as he turned around and then started to walk towards Saffron city.
?He?ll be back,? Sakaki said before I can ask her a question. ?He just needs to find her.?
I looked at Sakaki and noticed that under her cloak, she was wearing a shirt with the left sleeve torn away. I looked at her arm and noticed four tattoos lined up vertically. They were strange black tattoos shaped in a square and a mysterious symbol in the center. They all looked identical.
I knew Sakaki noticed me staring at her arm since she quickly covered her arm with her cloak. I looked away immediately and tried to avoid her eye.
?I?ll be back, too?? I heard Toshin mutter as he quickly summoned out his Pidgeot and flew off without warning.
Soon, Sakaki and I were the only ones standing.
?You?you noticed them, have you?? Sakaki whispered as the wind blew softly.
I looked at her and she was staring at the sky. She had her elbow tucked under her arm.
?Y?yeah?what are they??
?You?re too young to learn their purpose, Gary?but someone gave them to me when I was young?? She whispered softly as she continued to look at the sky.
I looked at the sky, too, looking for anything interesting there. ?Sakaki?did?did you really kill people before??
I looked at her and she gasped.
?I mean?Karen said so when we were back in that island.? I stammered.
Sakaki paused for a while. When I thought she wasn?t going to answer, she immediately talked.
?Yes I have?? She whispered. ?I only took three souls in my life. The first one I ever took was by force.? She then took off her cloak and let it fall on the ground. I looked at her arm and the four tattoos were still there. ?The first time I took a life, it was unfair since I had no choice. I took the life of the boy who gave me these tattoos.?
?But why??
?I had to. If I didn?t, he would?ve killed my life. Either way, I knew I wouldn?t be the same girl as I used to be.? She held her hand, covering her tattoos and then sighed and looked at the ground. ?There was something else, Gary,?
I remained silent as she sat down on the ground. She held her knees as she let out a small sob.
?I loved that boy?I loved him with my whole heart??
?But why did you kill him?? I said as I kneeled down. ?If you loved him, why did you kill him??
?Because I had to!? She sobbed as her grip became tighter. ?I loved him so much?he wanted to die?he had no choice but to die. Either way, lover would kill the loved one.?
?That?s not supposed to happen!? I yelled all of the sudden.
?Gary, I had no choice?? She cried as she wiped her tears with her shirt. ?These tattoos serve as a reminder every time I look at them. Every time I look at them, I remembered how he lovingly placed them on my arm??
I didn?t say another word after that. But then, she was the one to say it first:
?Gary, I know it in you. Don?t waste your time trying to ignore that fact that two girls love you. There would be a day where you?d have to take a life changing decision like what I had?like what Toshin had?like what Makoto had??
?Huh? But?how did you??
?When you released Emily from her possession, I was still there and I was watching you. You made her think of her father?but then you also made her think about you.? She then smiled and then patted my head. She stood up and sighed. ?Michelle on the other hand, was jealous of her brother and jealous of you, too.?
I was shocked as she continued. But then I remembered that she was a psychic.
?Am I right, Gary? Isn?t that the reason why she ran away? You couldn?t accept her or love her back. I know you both are young?but when a girl tell you that she loves you, it?s best not to deny that.?
I nodded slowly as she smiled. ?I?I guess?but??
?If you love one of them, love them secretly and don?t tell anyone. Not from either. I promise I won?t look in your mind.? She was still smiling as she said the words.
Before I could tell her that I don?t love either of them, Toshin returned.
?Called Silver,? He muttered as he noticed Sakaki who wasn?t wearing her cloak. He picked up her cloak and gave it to his sister. ?He told me to go here without him. He?s going on his way,?
Sakaki nodded as she accepted her cloak and wore it.
?You better remember his promise,? He was whispering and to her and yet I could understand him.
Sakaki nodded and then finally hugged her older brother. ?I will?? She released him quickly as I stood up.
?Toshin,?
He looked at me with attentiveness.
?I have been wondering?how old are you guys?? I asked him. ?You people are always hiding your ages.? Toshin let out a low laugh.
I looked at Sakaki and she had an alarmed look at her face. ?Brother?we can?t tell him now??
?Sakaki, he has the right to know. All these days you?ve been hiding it away from him, eh??
Finally, I could at least know how old these people are. Toshin kneeled down to match my height.
?Gary, there are some things that should be left kept secret. Our lives for example,? Toshin began. ?When you learn how to open an Unown gate; when you fully master everything that is needed to know, something weird happens.? He paused then massaged his temples. He exhaled as he prepared to say something important.
I listened carefully to what he said. He was looking down at the ground, avoiding my eye.
?I mastered how to open an Unown gate first. Then, Sakaki followed. Finally, Makoto. But before that, we never knew everything. We were just ordinary people helping our grandfather teach a bunch of kids learn. But that one fateful day?when you saw that vision?when Miharu died?I was different.? He sighed as he sat down.
?I forced myself to study everything. When I saw a glimpse of that Unown gate, I knew I could master it. When I began to master it?I was aware of the consequences. I knew that nothing is free in this world. But before I could, Reiji already did?he already harnessed the power?? He tried to continue but I immediately interrupted him.
?What are the consequences??
Toshin sighed. ?The consequences?of being able to leap through different dimensions and time frames of the world?it?s an eternal curse?immortality and control over his or her own age??
?WHAT?? I stood up immediately. ?What?s that supposed to mean?? I didn?t believe him at first. I didn?t want to. It was all too good to be true.
?Unowns control the whole world and time frame. Unowns?those Pok?mon that control this dimension?and others?they altered our view on the world. We were subjected to their mystic powers when we tried to leap from dimension to dimension?we all gained immortality and control over our ages. We still felt pain no matter what.?
He paused. He must have been waiting a question from me. However, I didn?t have anything to ask.
?When you saw Makoto save your mother, he could never die. He has to feel those pains over and over again. Not until your mother healed him. My sister?she felt the pain of the loss of a loved one. However, she learned opening gates after his death. I myself?the struggle between two different names; I was either Hiroki or Toshin.? He then stood up. ?I hope that answers your question??
I was shocked after he was finished. It did answer everything?everything that I?ve questioned to myself. They couldn?t possibly be immortals. All of them couldn?t be?
?You guys couldn?t be! It?s impossible!?
