Episode 9 - The Elite Force HQ
ANTI-POKEMON: ELITE FORCE
"Ah... this view is so beautiful" I thought to myself as my Rapidash trotted along a dirt path near the edge of a hill.
It was finally daytime I could see all of Rustboro city, it was more of an industrial looking place if you asked me, but the environment around that city seemed unharmed, there was a large forest near it, mountains surrounding it, plus the lake to the north.
It was quite a beautiful sight, excluding the black smoke rising from the city in almost every building there was.
The Rapidash that Jacob and everyone else gave me pretty much knew exactly where it was going. There ahead of us was a pretty nice house, completely hidden by surrounding trees.
Most of the trail around here was just plain dirt, but then suddenly around the house there was a bed of sparkling green grass. It surprised me for I haven't seen any sign of grass on this entire pathway.
The Rapidash stopped once we got up to the front door, he kicked his hind legs roughly, causing me to fall off. I let out a loud yelp as I hit the floor, the Rapidash began to laugh and sprint away as if I was going to kill him for that, "Yeah... 'Kay thanks..." I muttered to myself, rubbing my forehead, spiking up my hair once again.
I dusted myself off and walked up to the house's door slowly, wondering what waited for me inside.
The entire house looked like it was covered in green vines, I didn't know if the owners intended for that to happen. It looked a bit unnecessary to me. The house was painted white and the front door was dark red/brown.
In my opinion this didn't look like a command center for any Pokemon, just looked like a normal human home. I lifted my right arm slowly to tap the doorbell, figuring out that my claws were a bit too big to push a button that small, so I decided to knock.
One, two, three knocks and began to wait with my arm crossed over my chest.
I began to hear some mechanical whirring coming from the interior of the house. I back away a little bit, oblivious to what was happening. I heard a loud "CLICK" and then the doorbell turned into a large scanner than extended itself past the door and to the other side, if I didn't know any better, I would say that the scanner looked like a door block.
Suddenly it started to whir again and move up, a thin and wide red light escaped it and began to scan my body.
"Yo! What's wrong with this?!" I yelled, covering my private area, wondering if it was THAT kind of scanner. Finally the thing stopped, the scanning device shrunk back to what it was before and disappeared behind the doorbell.
"Hey there!" I heard someone young call, I wasn't sure if it was a boy or girl, but by the sound of the voice, it was probably just a very young boy. I stared at the door, wondering if that was where the voice was coming from.
"...Yo!!" the little boy yelled, now I knew it was coming from behind me. I turned around to see a little Raichu staring at me with his legs behind his back, his long and diagonally shaped Raichu tail spinning around like an airplane propeller, he had a white necklace and white bracers. On his head he wore large goggles, but not over his eyes, it was just strapped to his forehead. It kind of made him look like a little pilot, plus it seemed like a doesn't shave his head hair, it spiked out forward over his eyes and bent over a little at the tip.
"Um... hello?" I said, wondering if he thought I was an intruder.
"Yeah, you're Jherek, right?" he asked.
"Yup" I responded. I saw his little eyes sparkle up a little bit as he ran towards me and climbed on top of my left shoulder.
"Great! A new buddy to hang out with, my name's Michael... but my friends call me 'Sparks'" he joyfully said, bouncing around from my left shoulder to my right then back again.
"Sparks, eh? Cute name" I said, smiling friendly.
"It's not cute! It's fearsome!" he yelled with that squeaky voice, "...oh, well I could show you why they call me Sparks" he snickered, an evil look appearing on his face.
"Yeah... that won't be necessary" I said, rubbing the back of my head.
I had to say that his voice really did match his personality, if he were to have one of those really serious and deep voices while acting like that, it wouldn't match at all. In my opinion, say you met a 6 year old boy who could speak English without any errors at all, that's what Sparks sounds like.
"Hold on, let me introduce you to everyone inside!" Sparks said, jumping off my shoulder and pulling me towards the door, "Judith, he's with me" Sparks said, talking directly to the door bell. He tapped it a few times and suddenly it opened again, "Access granted" a mechanical female voice announced. The door opened up automatically afterwards.
"Wow... nice place..." I whispered, staring into the house where Sparks lived. There was a long white hallway that went to the living room where I saw a few other Pokemon. They had a coffee table, what seems to be an Absol fur rug on the floor, and 3 wall lamps surrounding that big flat screen TV on the wall. I was pretty surprised they had all of this human technology, I wondered how they learned to use it.
"Yo guys! Look who I found!" Sparks yelled as he let go of me and started cupping his paws around his mouth, everyone looked this way in curiosity on what he was talking about. What I saw was an Espeon, Kirlia, Eevee, and a Sneasel.
I felt my entire face turn red from embarrassment, "Um, hey guys" I said quietly, waving my left paw to all of them as they all got up to greet me.
I backed up a little, if I was in the hallway it would just mean everyone would be too crowded in there. A few of them came outside, I wasn't sure if all of them were there though so I didn't even bother counting how many people were in here.
"Oh my..! A Zangoose! I haven't seen your type in so-o-o-o-o-o long!" an Espeon said, a female by the sound of her voice. It looked like she has been in battle before, there was a long white strap of cloth completely covering her right arm and a little more on her tail, plus she had a lot of head hair for an Espeon, it completely flowed behind her and in front of her, she had a light pink hair clip on both sides. I rather liked her style, it was pretty cute.
She got extremely close to my face when she said that phrase, making me feel a little weird, plus her tail was completely circling me, pretty much trapping me, "My name is Emma, nice to meet you!" she said, grabbing my paw and curtseying before me with perfect balance on her hind legs, "Hehe... nice to meet you too" I shyly said as Emma back away from me a bit, her tail brushing against my nose as she walked away.
Next came a little Eevee, "Yeah, this guy's name is Timmy" Sparks said, pointing at the Eevee. The little guy walked up to me slowly and shook my paw respectably, his tail rotating around kind of like Sparks'. He looked a bit unsure of what he was doing by that shy but friendly look on his face, "...how's it going?" he greeted me, rubbing the back of his head with his free paw and smiling.
Timmy's voice was almost the same as Sparks', it was pretty weird. I knew I'm not going to be able to tell them apart if I was blindfolded.
Now a little Sneasel walked up to me, smiling the entire time, I knew she wasn't shy like Timmy, "Here is Litira" Sparks said, pointing at her. Litira stood up straight and shook my paw in a friendly way, not like some of those people to shake it really hard and you somehow lose control of yourself, "It's a pleasure to meet you!" she said with this high-pitched and squeaky voice, "Likewise, it's a pleasure to meet you too" I replied. I saw Litira's face blush a bit, "Aw, you seem sweet..." she said, letting out a quiet giggle.
Her red left ear flopped behind her head, it kind of made it look like she had long red hair that flowed from behind, plus that little yellow gem on her forehead shined in my face so I had to squint until she moved over for the next Pokemon to greet me. I liked the gems attached to her, it really did bring out the dark blue of her fur in a majestic way.
Next I saw a Kirlia walk towards me, both of her hands in front of her and her head bowing down the whole time, "Say hello to Apple" Sparks said, putting both of his paws behind his back. "Hey there!" I said, greeting her first and extending my right paw. As she looked up to greet me, I saw her entire face was completely red, I didn't think any white was even left, "It's very nice to meet you" she said with a cute and shy voice, curtseying before me just like Emma, "Don't take that shy voice lightly, Jherek, she's a real bazooka" Sparks explained, a mischievous look on his face.
"What did you say about me?!" Apple yelled, charging towards him like a maniac, "No, no, no! It was a joke!!! Honest!!!" Sparks yelled out in fear. Suddenly Apple stopped, and eventually Sparks did too, "I guess you're right, I AM A REAL BAZOOKA!" Apple yelled vigorously, grabbing the lawnmower that leaned against the house's wall. She pulled a cord and the lawnmower turned on, the blades under it began to rotate as she pulled it up and held it like a flamethrower
"Holy crap muffins!" Sparks yelled, running away in fear with Apple chasing him, equipped with that lawnmower. I nervously laughed at the crazy situation, listening to Sparks' pleas of forgiveness, "So... is this place always so fun in the morning?" I asked Litira, "Hehe... only on Tuesdays..." she responded.
A few moments later...
"O-o-o-o-o-o-okay, last but not least is Kuimon..." Sparks wearily said, a few bumps and bruises all over his head.
He began looking around for the Pokemon he mentioned, "HEY KUIMON!!" he yelled, his loud voice caught everyone off guard and we all ended up collapsing against the grass.
"WHERE ARE YOU?" Sparks yelled once more. There was a short moment of silence for a response, but nothing happened. Everyone began to get up except myself, I kind of liked the feel of the grass against my fur.
All we could hear was the wind blowing the leaves away, "Sorry about Kuimon, he's a real loner, likes to just sit down in random locations and stare at the sky..." Litira said, kneeling down near me and yawning.
"Yeah... it seems like he never wants to do anything with us..." Emma said, licking her paws and wiping her forehead with it.
I looked around myself, it surprised me how the grass had a boundary line around the house, it amused me a bit.
Suddenly I heard the rush of wind, then silence.
"Yo!!"
I heard someone say suddenly, everyone screamed in shock as an Umbreon appeared behind me. I looked back at him and he began to laugh,
"Sorry I'm late, just went to take a walk" he said, helping me off of the ground. Kuimon's voice was more matured than all of the males here, so I was sure he must have been the oldest and most likely the leader of the group.
I noticed that this Umbreon was almost as tall as me, but how was that even possible? I looked down to see that he was standing on two hind legs only,
"Whoa! Where did you learn how to balance like that?!" I yelled, pointing at his feet.
"Ah, I have my ways, I like to think of myself as the only Umbreon in the world who can stand up like this..." he calmly and coolly said, suddenly disappearing with a loud boom of wind following him.
A long dash of black light swished from the opposite way he left and Kuimon reappeared, "...and the fastest" he continued. "Well, that's all of us, this is what makes up the "Elite Force"!" Litira enthusiastically said.
"Yeah, and Kuimon's our leader. This guy is definitely incredible, he actually devoted himself to Lord Anriu just to steal their ancient powers!" Sparks explained, his eyes sparkled at what he thought of as "Incredible"
I had to say, the way he sprinted around me like that reminded me of how I fought with Aiiran Walker, that PEF soldier.
"So... we've all introduced ourselves, how about you tell us your name?" Litira asked me, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. I guessed that Sparks was the mechanics runner here, if Checkpoint 2 sent these people the message that I was coming he must have been the only one who heard it, since he was the only one who probably knew my name.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jherek... and... that's it" I said, bowing down to everyone in respect. "Nice to meet ya... Jherek, is it?" Kuimon said, I turned around and shook his hand since we pretty much never greeted each other properly.
"Hey you seem kind of hungry, want me to get you something to eat?" Litira asked me, her arms behind her back as she waited for my answer, "Actually..." I said, grabbing my stomach, "When was the last time I ate?" I asked myself.
"Please..." I said, Sparks jumping on top of my shoulder as she dragged me into the house and headed for the kitchen.
Sparks giggled a little bit, he was trying really hard not to make it noticeable, but it was pretty obvious, "What's the deal?" I asked him, "I think she likes you... next thing you know there are going to be bodies rolling around a fireplace in this house" he whispered, suddenly jumping off my shoulder, "Heads up!" he yelled as Litira made a hard left turn which nearly made me lose my balance.
Suddenly Sparks jumped back on my shoulder, "You're... kind of sick minded, you know that?" I asked, almost laughing at my own joke, "What's the big deal? I'm a Raichu... I like sex... end of story" he said with a friendly tone, it was good he didn't take it offensive. I was pretty relieved that Litira didn't hear what we were talking about... she probably would go into an embarrassed outbreak.
"...a-a-a-a-and here is the kitchen!" Litira announced, leading me inside. My eyes widened when I saw all of the utensils in here, "Oh... wow..." I whispered, almost drooling at all of the fruit that was hung on the walls. They had a pretty nice kitchen I had to say, 3 sinks, redwood cabinets, white tile on the counters and on the floor... and what really caught my eye was that stainless steal refrigerator, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!" I yelled as I opened the fridge, looking at all of the food these guys had. Sparks and Litira just stared at me and began to giggle.
"So... where did you come from anyways?" Litira asked me, both of her arms behind her back once more, her head faced down and her eyes looked up at me.
"Um..." I started, "Oh, sorry, I'm being kind of nosy, aren't I..." Litira cut me off, I shook my head, "No, no... you're not being nosy... well I've been traveling for a few weeks now, just taking a little break from being cramped up in Miir Cyraa all of the time" I responded, closing the refrigerator.
I noticed the sunlight entering from a little window near one of the sinks which was straight ahead from the exit, the light surrounded Litira in an impressive way making her look somewhat angelic. It kind of caught me off guard, her sparkling eyes stared into mine. It was such a beautiful and cute sight that I almost got an erection... which hasn't happened in quite some time now. I turned away and tried to control myself, "God damn Jherek... not now..." I whispered to myself, sweat rolling down my cheeks, "So... what do you want to eat?" she asked me, walking past me and opening the refrigerator. My eyes widened in shock and my entire face turned red as she almost saw I was trying to keep my erection unnoticeable. Again, I turned away from her.
"Um... you're going to cook?" I asked, trying to think of something else besides mating with Litira, "When was the last time I saw a Pokemon cook?" I thought, "I knew my female Jolteon companion Yurrei never cooked, and I was so very certain that the male Alakazam, Belisivious never cooked, just stayed in his little room all day long" I thought, scratching my forehead, "Haha, seriously, Litira is definitely the greatest cook here!" Sparks said, hopping on top of the counter near Bonbon and almost knocking over a soap container, "Okay then... I'll just have anything, doesn't matter to me" I said, taking a chair and sitting down.
"Yo!" I heard Timmy's voice come from the entrance into the kitchen, "Need anything too, Timmy?" Litira asked, taking some rice out of the refrigerator, "Oh no, I'm just in here to ask Jherek a little something" Timmy said, pulling on my foot and trying to get me to follow him, but he wasn't as strong as Litira to actually pull me to where he wanted to go, "Follow me, please" he said, giving up trying to pull me there and walking out of the door and into a room right to the left.
"Wow..." I said, looking at Timmy's room, it looked like a normal human kid's room, it even had a TV and a bunk bed.
"Please be honest..." Timmy started as he sat on the bottom bunk of his bed and I just kneeled over to be eyelevel with him, "...you're... you're not going to betray us like Anna did... are you?" he asked, looking up at me, I could tell he was trying not to cry, "'Cuz... if you are going to do that... then I don't want to make friends with you... it would just leave another big empty hole in my heart..." he continued, grabbing his chest tightly. It wasn't a very smart question, if I really was an enemy, I surely wouldn't have told him that information.
"Wait a second, what are you talking about?" I asked, eager to know who this Litira was and why he wants to know all about if I'm going to betray him and everyone else or not.
"I had a friend named Anna... actually she was one of my best friends and..." he stammered as he stared at his door when Kuimon walked through, "I told you... you shouldn't tell this story to every Pokemon that we help, now go help Emma put up the tarp around the front door, it's probably going to rain tonight" Kuimon said, still on his two hind legs. I wondered if he did that all the time or just sometimes.
"Uh, um, yes sir!" Timmy said as he jumped off of his bed, saluted Kuimon, and ran out of the door, "Sorry 'bout that, Timmy is just like that ever since he lost his girlfriend, he just wants a new best friend who he can trust will not go away and betray us... I guess" Kuimon told me as he walked over to Timmy's bed and sat down exactly where Timmy sat.
"Can... can you tell me what happened?" I asked, standing up and leaning against the wall.
"You sure about that...? I heard that not very many people like flashbacks..." (Wink, wink, hint, hint)
"Aww, come on, tell me, I'm pretty sure some people would like to hear about something like this" I begged.
Kuimon began to chuckle and rub his forehead, "Okay, I'll tell you..." he said, "You see, we found Timmy when he was very young and at that time, there was another Eevee in our little Elite group. I watched them grow up together and eventually they fell in love, but you see, what we failed to analyze is that... Anna was possessed by an Anriu spirit that takes a few years time to completely take over a body, of course I knew this was the work of Lucifer..." he said.
Now I was beginning to get really curious about this Lucifer character, it seems like everyone knows about the guy except me, but I didn't want to interrupt Kuimon now, so I just let him continue.
"...and once I figured all of this out, it was too late, the spirit began to take control of her... it devoured her soul and made her into an Anriu drone. I was barely even able to defeat her, for I have not had the power of the Anriu at the time. All I could do was hold her down, my power was completely drained and I couldn't perform any attacks, so I had to order Timmy to do the hardest thing he'll ever have to do, and that was... to kill Anna" he said, wiping a tear that drooped out of his left eye.
"...I'll never forget that look on Timmy's face... it was just so sad to see him in this much turmoil. At first he was willing, he was prepared to launch an attack against her... but then I saw his angry face turn to struggling... then that turned to sadness, then he let out a scream began to smack his head several times against the floor in pain, 'I can't do it... it's too hard' he said, of course it took me so very long to convince him on why he should kill her..."
I tried to imagine all of this myself, I put myself in Timmy's position and witnessed Kuimon pinning Anna to the floor and telling me to kill her.
"...he did it eventually... but I know that the experience killed something inside of him, and ever since I've been worrying about him" Kuimon concluded, holding up his head with his right paw. There was a long moment of silence and that was broken by a familiar voice.
"Hey, Jherek! You're meal is ready!" I heard Litira call from the kitchen, her voice startled Kuimon and I, "Well, I guess you're hungry so I'll just let you go now, see you later" he said, disappearing all of a sudden, he was moving so fast that it looked like a black line flying though the door and turning left instantly. The vision of him still being there actually stayed there for a few seconds, it was pretty amazing.
This place seemed nice, yet I felt terribly sorry for Timmy, but I knew I was going to like it here. The only thing that I wish I could've done today was get to meet that Kirlia more properlly, Apple. She seemed extremely shy and I wonder why, maybe that's just the way Kirlia's were, I didn't really know I don't usually hang out with Kirlia's.
So... Kuimon, Litira, Sparks, Apple, and Timmy, I'm going to have fun with these guys, I know it.Chapter End Notes:The Elite Force huh? I hope these guys are as good as they make themselves sound, they seem more like guys who just hang out with each other than people who perform dangerous tasks..
"Ah... this view is so beautiful" I thought to myself as my Rapidash trotted along a dirt path near the edge of a hill.

"Sorry I'm late, just went to take a walk" he said, helping me off of the ground. Kuimon's voice was more matured than all of the males here, so I was sure he must have been the oldest and most likely the leader of the group.
I noticed that this Umbreon was almost as tall as me, but how was that even possible? I looked down to see that he was standing on two hind legs only,
"Whoa! Where did you learn how to balance like that?!" I yelled, pointing at his feet.
"Ah, I have my ways, I like to think of myself as the only Umbreon in the world who can stand up like this..." he calmly and coolly said, suddenly disappearing with a loud boom of wind following him.
A long dash of black light swished from the opposite way he left and Kuimon reappeared, "...and the fastest" he continued. "Well, that's all of us, this is what makes up the "Elite Force"!" Litira enthusiastically said.
"Yeah, and Kuimon's our leader. This guy is definitely incredible, he actually devoted himself to Lord Anriu just to steal their ancient powers!" Sparks explained, his eyes sparkled at what he thought of as "Incredible"
I had to say, the way he sprinted around me like that reminded me of how I fought with Aiiran Walker, that PEF soldier.
"So... we've all introduced ourselves, how about you tell us your name?" Litira asked me, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. I guessed that Sparks was the mechanics runner here, if Checkpoint 2 sent these people the message that I was coming he must have been the only one who heard it, since he was the only one who probably knew my name.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jherek... and... that's it" I said, bowing down to everyone in respect. "Nice to meet ya... Jherek, is it?" Kuimon said, I turned around and shook his hand since we pretty much never greeted each other properly.
"Hey you seem kind of hungry, want me to get you something to eat?" Litira asked me, her arms behind her back as she waited for my answer, "Actually..." I said, grabbing my stomach, "When was the last time I ate?" I asked myself.
"Please..." I said, Sparks jumping on top of my shoulder as she dragged me into the house and headed for the kitchen.
Sparks giggled a little bit, he was trying really hard not to make it noticeable, but it was pretty obvious, "What's the deal?" I asked him, "I think she likes you... next thing you know there are going to be bodies rolling around a fireplace in this house" he whispered, suddenly jumping off my shoulder, "Heads up!" he yelled as Litira made a hard left turn which nearly made me lose my balance.
Suddenly Sparks jumped back on my shoulder, "You're... kind of sick minded, you know that?" I asked, almost laughing at my own joke, "What's the big deal? I'm a Raichu... I like sex... end of story" he said with a friendly tone, it was good he didn't take it offensive. I was pretty relieved that Litira didn't hear what we were talking about... she probably would go into an embarrassed outbreak.
"...a-a-a-a-and here is the kitchen!" Litira announced, leading me inside. My eyes widened when I saw all of the utensils in here, "Oh... wow..." I whispered, almost drooling at all of the fruit that was hung on the walls. They had a pretty nice kitchen I had to say, 3 sinks, redwood cabinets, white tile on the counters and on the floor... and what really caught my eye was that stainless steal refrigerator, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!" I yelled as I opened the fridge, looking at all of the food these guys had. Sparks and Litira just stared at me and began to giggle.
"So... where did you come from anyways?" Litira asked me, both of her arms behind her back once more, her head faced down and her eyes looked up at me.
"Um..." I started, "Oh, sorry, I'm being kind of nosy, aren't I..." Litira cut me off, I shook my head, "No, no... you're not being nosy... well I've been traveling for a few weeks now, just taking a little break from being cramped up in Miir Cyraa all of the time" I responded, closing the refrigerator.
I noticed the sunlight entering from a little window near one of the sinks which was straight ahead from the exit, the light surrounded Litira in an impressive way making her look somewhat angelic. It kind of caught me off guard, her sparkling eyes stared into mine. It was such a beautiful and cute sight that I almost got an erection... which hasn't happened in quite some time now. I turned away and tried to control myself, "God damn Jherek... not now..." I whispered to myself, sweat rolling down my cheeks, "So... what do you want to eat?" she asked me, walking past me and opening the refrigerator. My eyes widened in shock and my entire face turned red as she almost saw I was trying to keep my erection unnoticeable. Again, I turned away from her.
"Um... you're going to cook?" I asked, trying to think of something else besides mating with Litira, "When was the last time I saw a Pokemon cook?" I thought, "I knew my female Jolteon companion Yurrei never cooked, and I was so very certain that the male Alakazam, Belisivious never cooked, just stayed in his little room all day long" I thought, scratching my forehead, "Haha, seriously, Litira is definitely the greatest cook here!" Sparks said, hopping on top of the counter near Bonbon and almost knocking over a soap container, "Okay then... I'll just have anything, doesn't matter to me" I said, taking a chair and sitting down.
"Yo!" I heard Timmy's voice come from the entrance into the kitchen, "Need anything too, Timmy?" Litira asked, taking some rice out of the refrigerator, "Oh no, I'm just in here to ask Jherek a little something" Timmy said, pulling on my foot and trying to get me to follow him, but he wasn't as strong as Litira to actually pull me to where he wanted to go, "Follow me, please" he said, giving up trying to pull me there and walking out of the door and into a room right to the left.
"Wow..." I said, looking at Timmy's room, it looked like a normal human kid's room, it even had a TV and a bunk bed.
"Please be honest..." Timmy started as he sat on the bottom bunk of his bed and I just kneeled over to be eyelevel with him, "...you're... you're not going to betray us like Anna did... are you?" he asked, looking up at me, I could tell he was trying not to cry, "'Cuz... if you are going to do that... then I don't want to make friends with you... it would just leave another big empty hole in my heart..." he continued, grabbing his chest tightly. It wasn't a very smart question, if I really was an enemy, I surely wouldn't have told him that information.
"Wait a second, what are you talking about?" I asked, eager to know who this Litira was and why he wants to know all about if I'm going to betray him and everyone else or not.
"I had a friend named Anna... actually she was one of my best friends and..." he stammered as he stared at his door when Kuimon walked through, "I told you... you shouldn't tell this story to every Pokemon that we help, now go help Emma put up the tarp around the front door, it's probably going to rain tonight" Kuimon said, still on his two hind legs. I wondered if he did that all the time or just sometimes.
"Uh, um, yes sir!" Timmy said as he jumped off of his bed, saluted Kuimon, and ran out of the door, "Sorry 'bout that, Timmy is just like that ever since he lost his girlfriend, he just wants a new best friend who he can trust will not go away and betray us... I guess" Kuimon told me as he walked over to Timmy's bed and sat down exactly where Timmy sat.
"Can... can you tell me what happened?" I asked, standing up and leaning against the wall.
"You sure about that...? I heard that not very many people like flashbacks..." (Wink, wink, hint, hint)
"Aww, come on, tell me, I'm pretty sure some people would like to hear about something like this" I begged.
Kuimon began to chuckle and rub his forehead, "Okay, I'll tell you..." he said, "You see, we found Timmy when he was very young and at that time, there was another Eevee in our little Elite group. I watched them grow up together and eventually they fell in love, but you see, what we failed to analyze is that... Anna was possessed by an Anriu spirit that takes a few years time to completely take over a body, of course I knew this was the work of Lucifer..." he said.
Now I was beginning to get really curious about this Lucifer character, it seems like everyone knows about the guy except me, but I didn't want to interrupt Kuimon now, so I just let him continue.
"...and once I figured all of this out, it was too late, the spirit began to take control of her... it devoured her soul and made her into an Anriu drone. I was barely even able to defeat her, for I have not had the power of the Anriu at the time. All I could do was hold her down, my power was completely drained and I couldn't perform any attacks, so I had to order Timmy to do the hardest thing he'll ever have to do, and that was... to kill Anna" he said, wiping a tear that drooped out of his left eye.
"...I'll never forget that look on Timmy's face... it was just so sad to see him in this much turmoil. At first he was willing, he was prepared to launch an attack against her... but then I saw his angry face turn to struggling... then that turned to sadness, then he let out a scream began to smack his head several times against the floor in pain, 'I can't do it... it's too hard' he said, of course it took me so very long to convince him on why he should kill her..."
I tried to imagine all of this myself, I put myself in Timmy's position and witnessed Kuimon pinning Anna to the floor and telling me to kill her.
"...he did it eventually... but I know that the experience killed something inside of him, and ever since I've been worrying about him" Kuimon concluded, holding up his head with his right paw. There was a long moment of silence and that was broken by a familiar voice.
"Hey, Jherek! You're meal is ready!" I heard Litira call from the kitchen, her voice startled Kuimon and I, "Well, I guess you're hungry so I'll just let you go now, see you later" he said, disappearing all of a sudden, he was moving so fast that it looked like a black line flying though the door and turning left instantly. The vision of him still being there actually stayed there for a few seconds, it was pretty amazing.
This place seemed nice, yet I felt terribly sorry for Timmy, but I knew I was going to like it here. The only thing that I wish I could've done today was get to meet that Kirlia more properlly, Apple. She seemed extremely shy and I wonder why, maybe that's just the way Kirlia's were, I didn't really know I don't usually hang out with Kirlia's.
So... Kuimon, Litira, Sparks, Apple, and Timmy, I'm going to have fun with these guys, I know it.Chapter End Notes:The Elite Force huh? I hope these guys are as good as they make themselves sound, they seem more like guys who just hang out with each other than people who perform dangerous tasks..
