Brian's Tale - Chapter 3: A Psychic, A Tearful Parting and A Promise
Brian's Tale Chapter 3: A Psychic, A Tearful parting and A Promise Brian was leaning against the tree, all alone. For some reason, Jenna wasn't there. He just stared into the field before he heard a strange sound. Looking towards it, he found a familiar pink-haired girl "Hello, Fate. I haven't seen you in a while" He responded calmly. Usually, he would kind of.... freak out... when he saw something appear out of no where, but right now he was keeping a cool head. "That's because of the fusion." The girl said simiply as she sat next to him "What?" "You were thinking 'why am i so calm', and i explained" "Not even a hello?" "Hello. Now let me continue." "Now, when you were 'fused', or rather how you were fused, was through my psychic powers. When you were fused, you.... absorbed the energy." "Oh." he said "Oh?" She asked as he just nodded "Whatever. So anyway, you now have the pyschic powers of... probably a Ralts right now." "So... i can move things with my mind?" "Yes, and much more. You won't turn into a Gardervoir... or a Gallade.... I think. But you will be a little more easy going. It won't affect your personality." "One question" "Shoot." "Why don't you ever visit to just say hello and not explain every little thing to me?" "I would... but at the moment, i'm very busy. Things are a little hectic with them..." "Them?" "Never the less... I've got to go. Sorry for interrupting your alone time with her." Brian was thing hit with a white bright light as he found himself staring at the hill with the tree from the field. Soon he was tackled by a yellow blur. Jenna started to hug him fiercly. Soon his face was covered by the sloppy wetness of a foreign tounge. Opening his eyes, he found Sarah with her tounge out. "Hello Brian" She said cutely as Jenna started growling. How dare she lick his face! He was HERS! Okay, Okay, calm down. Dog-like pokemon have a tendency to lick there masters as a sign of affection. ...But what if that affection went to far and before she knew it they were frenching (a word Brian taught her, something she didn't get) by the gates of Jubilife! She had to make sure this little harlot didn't steal Brian from her! "Ahem!" Jenna yelled, wriggling her butt on his chest. "Oh, uh, Sorry Jenna." Brian said as he gave her a hug. The three of them played until Brian began to feel himself being pulled from his dream.
Brian recalled the events of his dream as he watched Sarah say goodbye to her parent's. "Don't- Don't- Don't forget us..." Astrid managed to get out through the sobs. "Mother. I'll be fine." The luxio said, giving her mother a lick on the cheek "Daughter, you know how much i disapprove of this... but i want you be happy and i know this'll mature you... so, be safe." "I promise father." She gave the best hug she could (She has four legs, come'on...) And gave him a lick on the cheek. After her tearful partings, she returned to the two, a few tears in her eyes. "O-okay guys. Lets go." Brian knelt down and gave her a hug. "T-Thanks... it's just..." She trailed off as Brian comforted her "It's fine... I miss my family too" he said as he thought back to Melody and Nancy. "Lets... Lets get going, okay?" "Okay."
"Wow..." All three muttered. Right now they were looking at Jubilife in all it's bustling glory. Everyone seemed to be going from Point A to Point B (And on the weekends, Point C). It was all so big. As Ian, he never left the Orphanage besides when he was at the courthouse in the city, and as Brian, he never left Sandgem. "Wow, indeed" a feminine voice said. Looking to his left he saw her. She had long blonde hair that reached in calves and covered her right eye and two strange black things in her hair. She had a strange fuzzy coat on and what he assumed were those baggy pants you see in movies from the 80's except black. "Who-" "Cynthia" Cynthia... Cynthia... He swear he's heard that name before... "You know? The Sinnoh League Champion?" "You... You're..." "Yes, yes, i'm the champion. Don't worry, i get the whole too-nervous-to-talk thing." "My mom talked about you all the time!" "Your mother? Who's your mother?" "Uh... Nancy Scott?" "Nancy! You must be Brian! You look so different! I haven't seen you in what has it been? 5 years?" "Yes i am Brian, but... recently - about a month ago - i lost my memory..." "You have! i'm so sorry Brian." "It's okay Ms.. Cynthia" "I see you still have Jenna... and a new friend..." "Yes. I discovered that some how i can understand Poke'toung" "Really? I almost say that memory loss has had quite a bit of benefits." The two trainers talked about various topics, Brian being told a few pointers and some amusing stories about his mom. After a while, they left for a hotel. After obtaining his key and room, he went to his room and went to bed with the two girls on either side of him.
Crackle The sound of thunder was heard outside of the Scott's residence. "It's okay Jenna, it's just the lightning" A younger, 6 year old Brian told a shaking pichu. She was always scared during storms despite her being a electric type. He began to sing her a lullabye "Take a melody... give it some words and... sweet harmony..." He continued to sing the rest as the tiny pichu closed her eyes. He was about to join her until... he... Help He heard a voice in the back of his mind. The voice was drowned out by the rain and seemed to become from... The forest. Putting on his shoes and grabbing his coat, he crept downstairs as to not wake Nancy, and he stepped outside and began running through the forest. Soon he found a bunch of weird guys in even weirder outfits. They were all camping around the fire. Near the middle was a strange cage with some resting figure. Brian watched all the guys go to sleep and put out the fire. He began to creep up to the cage and look at the figure inside. It was... A Mew! An honest to Arceus Mew! As soon as he reached out to the cage, the Mew's eyes shot open. The Mew closed its eyes half way. "Please... don't hurt me..." She said in a weak force The Mew said psychically. "Don't worry, i'm going to set you free, Mew." "You're... You're not going to capture me?" "Capture you? I already have a best friend." Brian said as he unhinged the locks "You're free now, just... just be safe..." "Thank you, Brian. But remember, i WILL pay you back for this!" She said before disappearing. Brian went back to the house, taking off everything and climbing into bed before remembering the Mew's words - I WILL pay you back for this
Brian woke up with a start, thankfully not waking up the two pokemon. He began to think back to the dream... what did it mean? I'll always look out for you... I never forgot that promise... A voice rang in his head. He began looking around the room frantically. What... What did this mean? Who... Was the Mew? How had she helped him? His questions faded from his mind as he fell asleep. End of Chapter 3
