Journal of a desperate man
March 3, Year 5 of my search.
Today I felt the empty arms of loneliness envelop me once more... In a strange way I am no longer alone, for my own solitude is the one company I have... But not all is lost. I have learned a secret today. Many for that matter; secrets that once again bring me hope...
Today, while researching in my library, I found the ancient tomes I wanted. Pages of information and enlightenment for what I so desire. There is a way...
So many events are taking place right now it is hard for me to focus on them all, but my standing grants me eyes and ears almost everywhere. For one there's that half-Anthro man living so far away from here he has practically settled on the south pole. For another, I hear an old associate is back to the biological abominations that put the aforementioned man in that condition. This and many other things link together... But my focus goes to the half-breed. He, much like me, knows many things about Legendary Pokémon, and can provide me with what I need to know.
Part of being a master of the criminal underworld means I have access to knowledge on many projects and matters... For one, I know even as I write this another "Team" rises to fulfill another power-hungry fool's wishes. And the story repeats itself... I am almost convinced they, too, will be foiled quickly by the work of another young man.
Their mistake will be, I am sure... Not just sure... My own powers of foresight let me know: Try to gain too much power and attract the attention of the wrong trainer. That is why I am satisfied simply leading the Pokémon slave trade. I gain millions a day and as a respectable businessman I am (Or so my façade would say. No one would suspect the president of Battlezone Mechanics is also the king of slave traffic) the law fears standing in my path. It also helps that I know what trainers to avoid and how to keep the business in full function as to gain even more millions... Millions... But who to share them with?
My memory goes back to my sweet two angels... My beloved wife... Beautiful, calm... Amazingly, she knew me for the... For the freak I really am. She saw what I truly looked like once, and she still accepted me. She made my life whole, and she always managed to find the good in everything. Even back when we were a pair of children she and I already understood each other so well... I just had to make her mine forever. That day, when she said "Yes"... I do not think I ever felt my heart pound like that. That feeling made me realize I did have a heart...
And out of that love came our sweet daughter. So pure and innocent... Because of events in my childhood I was not able to have the purity of mind to look upon the world with the wonder she did, but her... Even the flutter of a Butterfly amazed her and filled her with awe... She used to play with that Corsola I got her all day, and would fall asleep on top of her Ninetales' silky, warm fur. I am not surprised she inherited a part of who I am, sadly... A part of this... Monstrosity... The other day I walked into her room to see her turned... Lifting a pencil with her mind... I know she was, as I, too, have done it. When she saw me, looking at her, she was so scared. But I comforted her. I told her I was not upset, as I, too, could do it. She told me she had recently discovered she was able to. That day we went to the beach and she played with her Corsola on the sand, stopping to get a tan later... I was not surprised of what happened. She told me she had been able to do it since then. So I decided to teach her how to hide it, as well as how to use it. And she was making huge progress...
But then that day came...
The storm raged fiercely on the ocean, huge waves crashing against the yacht's side... I knew it was a difficult situation but I did not give up. I steered and tried to get us to land. After all, Slateport was not too far away. The wind blew violently and the flashes of lightning blinded me every now and then. And then, that moment that is burned into sun-dried mind... That crash, that scream... Those screams...
And the sight of the two of them, lying in those cold and ominous hospital beds while they were indifferently treated by medical staff, trapped in those white curtains and walls... To them, they were nothing. They were not the two greatest treasures I had ever had... They were just two more sets of numbers on a medical record...
Samantha, Irene... That night, you both left me... And I would give anything to have you back...
Fate has a somewhat cruel way to make one pay for his misdeeds... I took thousands of Pokémon away from their homes and trainers... So fate paid me back... She took what gave my life meaning...
Yet today, I stumbled upon the key I sought for... I have learned of two that could actually bring them back to life... That could end their suffering and my own! One, the master of the Spirit World, who dwells in a dimension opposite to this one, in the shadows of a cave where both worlds meet. The other, the very maker of our world, to whom nothing is impossible. I have learned of where he is- of where he continues his eternal slumber until awakened...
With these two, surely you can come back, my dears! All those nights of study will have paid off... But what remains is seizing them. As true titans they are, I am convinced it will be no easy task. And so, I have decided to gather others in hope of matching their strength. The "Lesser" Legendaries... Those who do not quite stand up to the power of the two I want to catch. If I were to have them all under my command, then I am convinced my possibilities would increase.
My plan will be set in motion tomorrow. I will have my organization, my hunters, go to Hoenn to begin my plan... Hoenn was where I first lost you, my beloved ones... And Hoenn is the first place that will lose its keepers and myths to me.
Then I must find a way to lure my equal out from his cold hideaway to meet me. He knows more...
And once you two are back, my life will, at last, proceed as normal.
