Bitter~Sweet 2 Ula'ula Mischief

Chapter. 23 The Fight Within

-/ I just don't get it Meowth. Ultra beast activity is starting to go up, crazies are showing up, and reports of rampant pokemon are getting worse, but one thing is still bugging me more than anything else.

That lady had 6 pokeballs, but when we scanned them, one of them was empty. Everything else was accounted for except for that one little detail. \-

Prrrrrrr...  -/ Your right, I should probably leave it to Looker to figure out. He knows how to deal with these kinds of things. Good night all of you.  Sigh, Acerola really tries too hard honestly. 

I just can't bring myself to tell her to stop calling me her uncle. Kids ,and their cute nicknames right Meowth?  Heheh yeeeeah, I probably am going crazy. \-

And now:

You know, normally in a nightmare, you're not in any control, and are completely helpless to the events unfolding inside your head, and right now I certainly feel that way.

Seeing what I used to look like should have been a moment of celebration, and joy, but seeing the memory twisted like this has only brought horror, and revulsion. 

Veins under the skin almost looked like they were crawling like an Ekans. The brown eyes I used to see in the mirror were now blood shot, and manic. The hair while the same spikey shape, and color, were textured the same as leaves without a hint of my real purple hair color near the roots.

That horrible smile that was too wide to be human. This thing might try to look like me, but it doesn't understand how a human body works. It doesn't even have visible ears.

It's a mimicry, but it's one that is learning, so all I can do is not give too much away. It's too bad I can't keep my mouth shut, or should I say, my thoughts quiet.

Thanks for the tip Alex, and yes I can hear your thoughts. I know everything about you that you know...

Your wants, your needs, your dreams, and your n̵̨͉̻̗̖̪͉̲̠̟͇̫̿̃͋̆̔̊͗̆̚͘̚͜͝i̴̝͐̆̈́̔̏̍̽g̶̡̣͍̪̗͈̝͎͎͓͍̦̣͙̐͗̐́̑h̵̘͍̙̯̙͌̆̄̍̆̈́̋̈́̐̊̀̀͝͝ť̴͙̏̒̋m̴͓̭̭̲͖̋̓̈́̔á̴͉͇̹͛̍͋͋̑͘r̶̗̝͆e̶̜̻̟̝̩̺̲̹̰͍̾͐̆̑͑̾̃̑̈̆̕͝͠s̷̞̼̅.̷͍̠̤̣̖̽ I know how you feel, I know how you think. I know these things Alex, because I am you!...

What are you then? My other half like you seemed to shout at me last time? I think I'd remember you being me. The doppelganger pauses for a second as if in deep thought. Thoughts that I cannot hear myself. It smiles

No I don't suppose you can't hear my thoughts can you? You can't comprehend me, and thus can never understand how I think at all.

If I were to simplify it for your Mankey sized brain. I'm what you might call...instinct...

Instinct? I whispered. Heheheh, that's right! I'm the one who was supposed to help you figure out how to move that clumsy body of yours. Everything should have come naturally to you, if only you just let me in.

You've been ignoring a core part of yourself Alex... Even if you were a human, I would still exist... I was going to be there for you...

You would have almost never tripped, you would have known that you could have flown as a Bounsweet. You might have even learned that your smell invigorates those around you.

Instead, I had to take a back seat. Watching from the sidelines as you fumble around, trying to brute force your way through the most basic of things. You took my job away from me. You learned all the basics from muscle memory...

Ok I started to back away slowly until I hit the bed frame, and shrunk down. Not literally of course. 

You made me almost obsolete. I only managed to gain some control once you were put in situations where you were helpless without me. I saved you when you needed me most.
