Mental Battles -Pokemon-

Chapter Five- Lucifer

I woke up on my own for once, it felt pretty amazing. Until I remembered the conversation I had with my dad. I sighed, trying to think of a solution. I refuse to die at the age of sixteen, but kill innocent people...? It hurt my head, so I decided to take a shower, hoping it would help at least a little.

As I climbed into the shower, I heard a sound. Almost like something was in the cabinet under the sink. I shrugged it off and cleaned myself the best I could, since I hadn't done so the night before. I didn't really take long after the that, I got straight out and put a towel on. The problem was, I heard the sound again. I bent down and opened the cabinet door.

"Hi."

"What the Mew?" I screamed, stumbling back. A boy! An Arceus forbidden boy, hiding in my bathroom. Who knows what he saw!

The boy laughed and walked up to me. "Better get dressed, sweetheart."

"What-- b-- don't call me sweetheart, you pervert! What were you doing in the bathroom while I took a shower? What were you even doing to begin with?" I screamed, forgetting all about being a calm person.

"Uh, let's just say that I was hiding." He replied nervously. "Now I'll get out so you can put your clothes on. Also, learn to chill, man." He walked out of the bathroom and shut the door, leaving me furious and confused. I got dressed quickly and cleaned up the bathroom, before storming out to the bedroom area.

"What's your name? Why were you hiding? And what do you want from me?" I asked the boy. He laughed and pushed his dark blue bangs to the side, before answering my questions.

"The name's Lucifer. No, I'm not some kind of devil or whatever. I'm hiding from an organisation, they claimed they needed me in case something went wrong with their first 'pawn'. And what do I want from you? Well, now that you mention it, I won't be nearly as safe traveling alone. I want to accompany you on your journey. And, let's just say, I know what you're up against." He replied.

"Okay, Lucifer, was this organisation Team Ore?" I asked, regaining my calm.

"How'd you know? People think they disappeared, but they really just brought the organisation underground."

"Well, since it was Team Ore, I know what you mean by 'I know what you're up against.'" I said, grabbing the brush and brushing my hair so I didn't seem as worried.

"So you are Emilia Blade. Well, that's what everyone claims your last name to be.

"I was adopted, I don't know my original last name." I mumbled.

"After some extensive research, I found your original last name. But if I tell you, it will take away all the suspense, sweetheart!" He teased.

My face grew red in anger at his words. "Tell me my last name, you brat!" I snapped.

"Eh, you'll find out soon enough, girlie. Plus, there's always the chance that I'm wrong. Anyway, if you ever want me to tell you your last name, you better let me accompany you on your journey."

I growled in frustration. Well, having him with me might give me a little safety. I mean, he's aware of what's going on, so we can protect each other. But, he's super annoying, and probably a pervert. Well, it's being constantly annoyed versus risking death more than necessary...

"Fine." I grumble. "But it's only to know my last name. It probably won't matter anyway, my parents are supposedly dead. Oh well."

"Yay!" He exclaimed. "First things first, your foster father has people tailing us and every other test subject. I escaped them, so I'm not a test subject... I'm probably really lucky."

"Test subjects?"

"For their army of drones. From what I saw, there's only a handful of failed test subjects, but a couple hundred successful drones."

"And they use real people against their will?"

"Sadly, yes. It's really twisted, but you're safe with me, sweetheart." He said with a wink.

"Gah, would you stop that!" I shouted, grabbing my bag and Pokeballs. Anyway, we have to get going. Come on." I stormed out of the room, power walking towards the exit of the Pokemon Centre.

"Woah, we're not getting breakfast?" Lucifer asked in disbelief, struggling to put on a grey sweater as he followed after me.

"We'll manage without it." I said, refusing to pay for his breakfast.

Lucifer grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to face him, glaring daggers into me with his piercing blue eyes. "Listen, sweetheart. Me and hunger don't mix. I'm a different person when I'm hungry. It can get pretty violent."

"You're exaggerating." I said simply, escaping his grip and walking to the Northwest exit of Canoa City. I really didn't want to, as that route led to Wren Town. And Wren Town is home of the first gym. I'm going to need to make a choice, especially since I apparently have someone tailing me.

"Ugh, you'll see." Lucifer grumbled, sulking after me. Serves him right.

I've got two, maybe three hours before I get to Wren Town. And I have to make what could potentially be the biggest decision of my life in that time? Legs biggest decision of my life that could end today, depending on what happens.

Yo! What's up? c: I finally finished this chapter; it was super fun to write!

Anyway, since someone already ships Ren x Emilia (they dubbed it Renilia), we need a ship for Lucifer x Emilia!

(But you never know, there might be no romance at all <w<)

If we're talking ship names, I need to think of ____shipping for Ren x Emilia and Lucifer x Emilia.

*Secretly hopes people ship Ren x Lucifer just for laughs and ship names*

xD yeah, bye. (Also, I accept all constructive criticism, because I'm still bad at writing compared to other authors *coughcoughSerena_DanielsPyro_ManiacandPikachick*)

Now bai .3.
