Chapter Three:
Author's notes: I beg forgiveness from anyone that has been waiting on another chapter. I was in a writing slump for the longest time and all honesty, once I got back into writing, I had a friend teach me about grammar and writing. When I returned to my stories, I was dumbstruck at my grammar and how anyone could have ever liked my content. (Sighes) anyway, later on I may at least for this story go back and fix the grammar. For now though, I am continuing 'A New Community of Pokemon?'
The sun was beating down upon the forest, the trees giving shade and its cooling affects across Kenta, Sophios, and their many new friends of Pokemon. Yuni had placed the antidote in Sophios's PC as promised, and also added some equipment. Sophios eyed the now useless translator in his paw, before looking to Kenta, "Here..."
"W-what is this?" Kenta asked as he eyed the small device in Sophios's blue paw.
"A universal translator, it translates any language, human and Pokemon alike. I'm a Pokemon now and I'm starting to understand them. If you are their leader, it would be beneficial for you to be able to listen and talk to them."
"Awesome!" Kenta grinned as he eagerly snatched the device from Sophios, quickly placing the small bead into his ear. Immediately he looked around, what was only Pokemon names being called mere seconds ago, were now conversations that he could understand. Kenta smiled as he looked to Sophios, "Did I mention this was awesome?"
"Yeah... I remember you saying something about that..." Sophios rolled his eyes as he sighed, getting up and walking away.
"Where are you going?" Kenta asked.
"After you told me how you became into your profession, it got me thinking about mine. You selflessly became someone that returns Pokemon to their family because you yourself had yours stolen from you. I only joined PIRA to look after my sister, which really has been looking after me instead. T-to be honest... I don't care what happens with Giovanni... I mean... I want him stopped, and he shouldn't be allowed to continue, but I'm not going out of my way to stop him." Sophios sighed, turning away and about to leave.
"Hold on... then why were you risking your life to stop Giovanni? Were you just doing your job or something?" Kenta tilted his head in confusion.
"I don't know, a few times the thought crossed my mind that I enjoyed being evil for short periods of time without the consequences of guilt and prison." Sophios stated as he turned back around and faced Kenta, but never actually looking up.
Silence followed for a moment, but before Sophios could speak up or decide to leave, Kenta asked, "You don't really believe that, do you?"
Kenta's words hung like a sign before his face, making Sophios look up and at Kenta. Sophios crossed his arms, clenching his eyes closed, "I just don't know... Yuni and mom are my only family. I only care for Yuni and she doesn't even need me. I suppose I just wanted the job to be near her.., but lately I don't even care about that anymore..."
A loud engine could be heard, snapping Sophios and Kenta to attention. Fear striking them and all the Pokemon at once, but as soon as Kenta noticed the ranger logos on the vehicles, he sighed in relief, followed by him calling out to the Pokemon, "RELAX EVERYONE, THEY ARE FRIENDS."
Within an instance, everything was calm once more. The large cargo trucks came to a halt, followed by a woman.
"Yuni!?" Sophios asked in astonishment as she stepped from the cargo hold.
"Sophi! How ya doing little brother?" Yuni giggled as Sophios turned beat red through his blue fur at the nick name.
"Yuni! Don't call me that! And on top of that, you are only older than me by a couple minutes!"
A grin adorned Yuni's face as she waved a hand idly, "Calm yourself Sophios, I just wanted to come see if you were a mutant or not. Looks like you haven't touched the antidote yet."
"I'm staying a Pokemon for now. I have my mind, and if that isn't enough now, then why would it be enough if I was human?" Sophios calmed down, his face marked with his sudden seriousness.
Noticing her brother's seriousness, Yuni's own features softened, "Mother isn't going to accept you being a Pokemon, ya know?"
"I don't care, she didn't accept me before, so why should I care now?" Sophios lowered his head in disappointment, a frown on his face.
"Yeah..." Yuni's voice lowered to near inaudibility, and Kenta just watched with concern.
A bang could be heard as a man stood in the doorway of one of the cargo trucks, "Hurry it up Yuni, the whirl birds wont wait for ever!"
"Whirl birds..." Sophios sighed as he shook his head, "I wish they would just call them helicopters... or at least keep the damned code names the same..."
Giggles emanated from Yuni as she patted Sophios's shoulder, "Boss says it's to confuse anyone listening in over the com, but I think he just likes being cute. Come on, help me get these Pokemon aboard."
"Okay everyone!" Kenta called out, immediately getting the attention to all the Pokemon, "We are all going to your new home, all aboard the trucks!"
Without question and with complete trust, all the Pokemon hauled up onto the many Trucks, except for many of the rather large Pokemon, like Snorlax and etc. Sadly, the larger ones had to walk slowly along side the truck.
"This isn't going to work..." Sophios frowned as he eyes the large and rather slow Pokemon.
"Hmm..." Kenta crossed his arms as the gears in his head churned, "Ahah!" Kenta gleefully stated with a snap of his fingers.
"What is it?" Sophios asked, halting the driver of the trucks.
"We will catch them in Pokeballs and then release them once we get there." Kenta smiled, but before any protests could be made, Kenta was already off the truck and pulling empty balls from his satchel.
Kenta didn't hesitate to ask the Pokemon first before capturing them, and with complete trust in Kenta, they were caught inside the balls. On the way back to the cargo truck, Kenta had a big accomplished smile on his face. Sophios frowned as he whispered loud enough for only Kenta to hear, "You better be careful... these Pokemon seem to trust you with all their hearts... please bare that in mind..."
"It's not like I'm planning on betraying them..." Kenta frowned, a little saddened that Sophios felt like he had to even say anything.
"I'm just saying... trust is an easy way to be hurt..." Sophios stated before turning and sitting down along with many other Pokemon.
Rubbing his neck, Kenta turned away and hoisted himself up on the top of the Cargo truck. He made sure to keep a look out for any signs of trouble. Many of the flying Pokemon, including several fast paced Pokemon decided on walking. They could be seen on either side of the trucks or far above. Deciding to use them to everyone's benefit, Kenta stood up as he yelled, "Hey Flygon!"
Withing several seconds, a large green Pokemon with what looked like goggles over his eyes flew down low next to the cargo truck. Kenta smiled to the Pokemon as he said, "Tell all the bird Pokemon to look for anything baring a symbol like these." Kenta then pulled a small piece of parchment from the satchel hanging from his side, and with a nod from Flygon, up he went to tell the other flying Pokemon. Even though Kenta felt safer with eyes up in the sky, he still decided to keep an eye out, just in case there was trouble below the large ceiling of leaves of the trees.
Vermillion City:
It had taken a week nonstop in the cargo trucks. With Yuni on board with PIRA, the Pokemon Rangers, and not to mention the local Pokemon gyms and league on board, every town had heard of Kenta and Sophios saving a vast amount of Pokemon from Team Rocket and the whole Kanto region were gang ho for the whole thing. Even without being told to, whenever the Cargo trucks were seen, they would immediately pull to the side and let the trucks through, raving through their car windows and cheering them on.
Sophios and Kenta were a little wary that with the whole region knowing, Team Rocket were bound to know where they were, but decided Giovanni wouldn't try anything with everyone keeping a sharp eye out. The last thing they wanted would be a war between Kanto, Team Rocket, and maybe even Jhoto. Team Rocket were too deeply rooted with both regions to risk the police or army to get involved. Hence the whole problem with PIRA and the Pokemon Rangers. Team Rocket had not dare cross neither one of them. Though, that didn't stop Kenta from commandeering his task force to protect the whole group, at least that was what Sophios called it.
With the group finally in Vermillion, and the group already being loaded onto a single cruise ship, it wouldn't be long before they set sail for an unnamed island that was void of any Pokemon, or people. Plus it was marked as a nature reserve, just for this group of Pokemon. Just so happens that since the group was large enough, and had enough endangered or rare Pokemon within its ranks, it was considered that this become a survival of the species. Only adding to this mission to rescue all these Pokemon. Kenta watched as the final Pokemon went aboard, Yuni and Sophios paused as Kenta took one final look for any trouble.
"I worked with Team Rocket for a long time, I really think Giovanni is keeping a close watch and is waiting till we release the Pokemon onto that island... then he will strike... he might even try overtaking the entire ship in one go. We should be careful..." Sophios stated in a low tone.
"Yeah... well lets go aboard and get some sleep. I think I've taught the Pokemon to keep an eye out, once we are rested, we will take turns along side the Pokemon to keep watch." Kenta stated, never looking to his two new friends, but looking over the scenery as they boarded the ship.
