Deceitful: A Pokemon Transformation

Chapter 19: Expect the Unexpected

It was noon, and Buniot couldn't stop asking me about humans and what it's like to be one. Some times I'd ask myself if he wants to be a human. Then I'd tell myself... Deja vu.

"Umm... What are all those metal things that move really fast?"

"Cars...?" I answered.

"Yeah! Why do humans have those? Can't they just fly on Pokemon?"

"Not exactly. Some people don't even have Pokemon. People have cars are those who don't exactly have a Dragonite to carry them. Staraptor could barely carry me as a human," I laughed just imagining it.

I slumped back in the chair.

"So... If ya don't mind me asking," Buniot stirred uneasilly, "How was Lewis your friend? I mean... He sounds like a complete jerk after what he did."

I sighed and bit my lip.

"Lewis... Lewis and I... We were friends because we had everything in common, he was my best friend since elementary school and we've been friends for 9 years. We had the same taste in music, video games, sports, tv shows, everything." *Everything except being a complete traitor*

"You didn't really know he was like that though? With those bad guys, Team Plasma?"

"Never even suspected it once until I saw the news report..."

That had me thinking about that. What was it about the news report that made me instantly accuse Lewis? The only evidence was the shiny Gliscor on screen. No other visual stimuli was triggered as I watched it. It was possible Lewis wasn't the only one with a shiny Gliscor. Maybe it was...

My eyes widened. It wasn't just the news report. I've seen evidence of it all along, but never thought anything of it. The weird phone calls from his "internet service provider". The sound of voices always coming from his pocket via his pen and blaming it on his phone. He's never even used that pen for anything. I noticed it all, I just never suspected he was with Team Plasma.

"Actually... I have noticed him. I just..." I sighed, "Nevermind... Umm... You wanted to show me some fighting action right? Wanna go?"

Buniot's expression changed to a surprised grin.

"What? Like... You and me?" he scoffed.

I stood up and stretched my arms out.

"What's the matter? Ya scared?" I taunted.

"What!? No! Just wondering if you're sure about this. Let's go outside..."

I chuckled as he led me outside. In little time we were face to face. I didn't have a lot of battle training, but I had enough experience to hold a Pokemon off for a few minutes.

"You're totally sure you wanna fight?"

"Positive! Don't hold back!"

"Well... I guess start on 3?" Buniot mumbled.

"Sure! Three..." I got into the stance Gallade taught me to obtain complete balance and defense.

"Two..." Buniot was prepared as well, but he didn't seem too sure about this.

"One!"

I lunged at Buniot, attempting a right hook to his body. In a flash of motion, he jumped over my arm and tried to slap me with his right ear as he flipped. I raised my arms in an X and waited for him to recover.

"You're pretty fast Buniot," I chuckled.

"Thanks..." That said, he dashed far away from me, almost as if he was trying to show off his speed.
