Pokemon Revival (Discontinued)

Chapter 11: Pain of Loss

(Riley POV)

So I woke up the next morning after the funeral and went to go check up on Jae. I opened the door to their room and saw Lucario had gotten out of bed but Jae was still asleep. I was going to ask if he wanted to go to school with me again but I decided against it, he went through enough the past two days, he deserved his sleep. It was a school day so mom made me breakfast and I told her see ya after I ate. I went to school the same way I always do and went to the cafeteria where I saw Arin and Hyabusa were waiting there. Arin ran up to me though, he seemed freaked out and excited.

"DUDE! HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS!" The news? He watches the news? But anyways I answered him.

"No, what happened?" I quizzed.

He then got more shocked when I said that, "I couldn't believe it man, there was a hostage situation shown on the news and the man killed a hostage! I thought it was fake but no, others had closed their cameras but this news crew didn't. Then out of nowhere a Riolu jumped in and killed the guy, it was insane!" I had a face of worry on me and he noticed it, "What's wrong? What got you looking scared?" I didn't want to say it but I thought it would be better not to keep secrets, well at least from him.

"Look man, keep this on low okay, the riolu on the film was Jae." I said quietly. His and Hyabusa's eyes widened at that comment.

He then whispered, "What? You serious man, I mean I didn't know any other riolus but I didn't think it was Jae."

"It was, it scared me but apparently Jae knew the woman who got killed. I wanted to bring him here but he is really depressed about losing her so I refrained from it. He is hurting bad now man, just don't bring it up that it was him okay." Arin nodded at me and I saw Hybusa with a face of remorse. I helped him feel better though, "Hey don't worry Hyabusa, Jae is strong, he will get better before you know it." He half smiled at me, glad Jae had a good friend like him.

So classes went on as usual through the day, but at lunch I was eating with Arin and Hyabusa when you know who came by. "Well look at the crybaby, where is your body guar at today?"

I looked over to Caden and gave him a death glare, "What do you want Caden, and Jae is at home, he didn't want to come today." Caden gave me a sinister smile.

"I think I know why he wouldn't want to go, especially after killing a man!" He exclaimed. What how did he know!

"I don't know what you're talking about." I lied nervously.

"Your lying, my friend saw your parents and you there when it happened, it was your Riolu, and you know what?" He then turned to everyone in the lunch room. "HEY EVERYONE GUESS WHAT, RILEY'S RIOLU WAS THE RIOLU FROM THE NEWS, HE IS THE ONE WHO KILLED THAT INNOCENT MAN!" Everyone started talking, some said why would I keep it, some called Jae a freak, some said Jae should have been put down, I wasn't having any of this!

"INNOCENT, HOW DARE YOU CALL THAT MAN INNOCENT, HE KILLED SOMEONE JAE KNEW, YOU CAN YOU CALL THAT INNOCENT!" I screamed. He looked at me again evilly.

"He's innocent because anyone that does pain to you or your friends is a friend of mine, I saw him crying on the film and it was the greatest sight I've ever seen, he is even more of a crybaby than you ever were." Okay I had enough of him, he went to far this time, he can mess with me and do what he wants to me but you don't mess with my friends! I may not like hurting people but you know what?

"Hey Caden, I just realized something." I said plainly.

"Oh and what's that freak lover?" He said while pointing his nose at me. I then quickly socked him right in his stupid face and he held his nose with his hands. I wasn't done yet, as he bent over I took hold of his hair and kneed him in the face as hard as I could. He fell to the ground crying.
