19: Rocky Encounters

<<Hey guys dont forget to vote and thanks for reading my book this far! This is Rakutsu's POV btw>>

Let's just say that I got a bit tired after chasing those Team Plasma grunts Hyuu and I spotted. I searched about half of the city, which isn't fun nor easy. I swear I burned a lot of calories even after borrowing a bike from a random dude. 

Going to the serious topic though, those Team Plasma grunts have been active these past few weeks; minus our encounters in Castelia, Nimbasa and Driftveil, there were many reports all around Unova. Theft, sudden ambushes and other criminal activities in the news were almost all about Team Plasma and their rise. Gray, Black and the rest of the IP were very busy along with the Unova Task Force. Every grunt they capture, more seems to take his place.

And then I get a call from Faitsu that she just joined another Team Plasma, a group still wearing the ridiculous medieval outfit but instead, formed a rescue center for Pokémon. I was pretty surprised of course that another team operated. Not to mention the police are not doing a good job in stopping Team Plasma. 

"Rakutsu!" I hear Hyuu's familiar annoying whine-shout. 

"Let me guess..." I started to say.

"Are YOU going to betray me too?!" he cut me off. "I can't believe Faitsu just joined that s- stupid organization! She just became friends with the enemy!"

Of course. Hyuu, blinded again by his rage. He was that kind of guy that doesn't accept reason once he's angry. "From the way I heard it, that Team Plasma group she joined isn't about criminal activities anymore. They're actually helping Pokémon and people. And the last time I checked, that's good."

"Oh, so YOU'RE defending Team Plasma now?!" he said through gritted teeth. "EVEN-"

"CAN YOU JUST FRICKING SHUT UP FOR A MINUTE AND LET ME TALK?!" I swear to Arceus, his pathetic attitude gets on my nerves. "YOU'RE OVERREACTING! CAN'T YOU SEE SOME SENSE?!"

"I'm not-"

"KNOW WHAT? I'M SO TIRED OF YOUR CRAP! TEAM PLASMA THIS, TEAM PLASMA THAT, ARCEUS HELP ME, FRICKING MOVE ON MAN!" I said. "I know what happened to you was bad, BUT YOU CAN'T JUST GO ON CHASING THEM FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!"

"They-"

"AND GUESS WHAT ELSE? GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE, HYUU! THESE PEOPLE THAT FAITSU JOINED, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THUGS THAT STOLE YOUR SISTER'S POKEMON! PEOPLE CHANGE AND ITS TIME YOU FRICKING DO THE SAME! ITS TIME TO LET GO AND MOVE ON!!!"

His eyes narrowed to slits. "You don't understand Rakutsu. You don't and you can't. You don't know how I felt that day, pathetic as I watched Team Plasma stole my sister's best friend, I couldn't do anything! That Purrloin was her whole life! I won't stop chasing them until I find it again!"

"You're not just angry at Team Plasma are you?" I said. "You're angry at yourself."

He scowled. "And so what if I am? That doesn't change anything!"

"Forgive yourself man, you can't find peace if you keep living in your hate. I know its hard to forgive Team Plasma too but..." I commented, suddenly pitying Hyuu. "Revenge is a two-headed snake. It bites your victim and it bites you too."

"Yeah well, there won't be peace if Team Plasma is still around!" stubborn as ever, Hyuu replied.

"Team Plasma is evil, Hyuu. They need to be stopped. But you're too obsessed with revenge and anger that its not healthy anymore."

"You're not my mom Rakutsu. But fine, I'll accept that group Faitsu joined, unless they do something bad. I'm gonna destroy them myself," he said, but the same anger lingered there. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some training to do."
