Once more into the breeches, dear friends!
I'm happy.
I probably shouldn't be, but I am.
When I left the cave and returned to Jubilife, the first thing I noticed was a commotion on the North side of town. Two freaks in white coats and with blue hair were harassing Professor Rowan and his lovely assistant Dawn. I didn't hear what they were talking about before I arrived, but I did catch one of them threatening Dawn. That was pretty much all I needed to unleash Royal.
To my surprise, Dawn actually joined the battle with me. Working alongside another trainer in battle is a little confusing, but I wasn't complaining. We both knew what we were doing, and Roy was more than happy to work with her Chimchar. By work with, though, he mostly just kept pecking the poor Wurmple one of them had before using a bubble to knock it into the other's Zubat. After he pulled off that once-in-a-blue-moon technique, he struck a valiant pose, as if it was intentional, to impress Dawn some more.
I'm glad Sarah didn't see this shameless flirting.
The punks ran after we smashed all of their hopes and dreams of victory and I asked who they were. Apparently, they were members of a new group called Team Galactic, who, according to the professor, study the unique energy that a Pokemon gives off when it evolves. It intrigued me, to be honest; after all, remembering what my Shinx used to look like, her evolved form was such a drastic change that occured in an instant. That mystical energy, if it could be harnessed...
But that's what those dickheads were after. I told the two scientists that one of my Pokemon recently evolved, so I could understand what they were going on about. They asked to see it, and I looked to where Royal was: right at Dawn's feet, looking up her skirt like an innocent penguin shouldn't. I knew it was going to end bad, or horribly, but I did it anyway, perhaps out of jealousy that my aquatic companion had seen more than I had.
Wow, writing it like that makes me seem a bit perverted. Anyway, I called Sarah out, who emerged with her new cry. When she materialized, Dawn approached her, saying how beautiful she was. She struck a prideful pose, one that seemed like wordless bragging as she swung her tail from side to side as if to say "Of course I am, silly hooman, I am superior to the round, soft, pink little thing you call a body."
As expected, Sarah didn't take the perverted Piplup's transgression of adultry. She was a clever lass, though, and, rubbing herself against Dawn's pets, she curled around her body and gave Royal a frightening look. I didn't see it myself, but with the way my blue buddy returned to my side to be recalled... well, let's just say that I have never seen a penguin run, and it was hilariously pitiful.
Of course, my Luxio wasn't done yet, and she gave Dawn an electrical shock by touching her claw 'innocently' against the human's thigh. I watched the other trainer jump up and saw her... well, everything give a little bounce. I recalled my smug feline partner and apologized, saying that she didn't know how to control her new powers yet. Dawn understood, and both of them told me to be mindful of Team Galactic and then walked off.
I was watching them leave very intently, I'll leave you to guess why, when someone interrupted my field studies on the human booty. A man who had watched my fight thought that I would make a good face on the Sinnoh TV network. That made me smile; according to my mother, I had a touch of my father's pride, so getting the chance to be on television was something that I would jump in to given the chance. And I did.
I got to the station and they asked me a bunch of questions about Sarah, saying that it's odd for a trainer to have an evolved Pokemon this early on. I told them how I caught her, that I only had to use one ball, and all that fun stuff. They said they'd prepare it and run it by their producers and see if they couldn't put it on the air later this afternoon. I had a building full of TV to watch until then. Granted, there was no Wii, but sacrifices must be made.
Before I sat down for a quick brain-rotting session, someone told me about the room on the second floor that I could make a portrait of my Pokemon. I called out my Piplup and went into that room, where a portly man obsessively greeted me and told me of his profession. He wanted to take a picture of Royal, and I let him. I set him on a pedastal and gave him an earthy backdrop before his young Piplup self was forever immortilized in portrait form. I wish I could describe the joy on his round little face. It was as if an ancient king had just had his statue erected in his honor. This boosted the little puffball's ego by about one-hundred-and-seventy points, and we went back downstairs to watch some TV. I would have made portraits of the others, but they gave me limited decorum to work with, so it was actually a bit pointless to have them all look the same. Besides, I didn't have anything on my save for bits of fluff and a few feathers to dress up Cole or Sarah, nothing that actually captured them, so to speak.
Regardless, I am thinking more on Galactic as I write, which is inbetween commercial breaks. I thought it was interesting how part of me wants to see where this team would go if I joined them. I am scientifically curious about this power as well, and I am sure that I could bring more to the table than those two rude grunts that I fought. Maybe they're not all that stuck up?
On the other hand, they sound an awful like Team Rocket. If my father heard about me joining a group like that, he'd go on another 'extermination' run. After he, Red, and Mr. Oak took down the Rocket main forces, he joined forces with Johto's Champion Krystal to hunt down stragglers. Some say he still didn't get them all, but I haven't heard of any activity from them lately. Still, if Galactic turns out to be more like Rocket than I thought they were, then I'd rather not be hunted down by someone as crazy powerful as those guys. As a matter of fact, I might have to toss that team down a peg myself.
That made me smile. Now, part of me hopes that they are some evil corporation. I want to beat on them a little. I'm sure they're not all as easy as the trainers I fought, but that's why I get stronger, isn't it? I'll sit back and watch for now, but if they get in my way, or go to harm my companions, then we'll see how they like facing the son of one of the Pallet Town Legends.
Who knows, I might get some more air time out of it!
