Just starting off... (Pokèmon Fanfic)

Chapter Eleven

I fall to the ground as the realization of what had just happened hit me entirely. My heart drops as I brought Flare back into his pokèball. The victor walks across the battle field, petting her pokèmon on the way. She comes over to me and holds her hand out. "I have been told you have a pokeball that we are looking for."

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"A special ball. Don't act dumb!" She say.

"I'm not acting dumb," I say.  "I have no clue what you are talking about."

"My father said he was told that you have the ball he is looking for."

"Sorry to tell you I don't."

"Ha... Fat chance.  You're lying."

I throw my bag out onto the ground.  "Check.  As far as I know, I don't have anything special."  She checks the bag in and out and finds nothing of interest.  She throws the bag back at me and walks away, grumbling.

I just sat there, wondering what had just happened and why.  They wanted something that I have, but the only useful items in my bag are the Revives, Full Restores, and the Pokeballs I have.  Nothing made sense to me right now.  I needed to go home and rest.  I'll come back tomorrow, I think.

As I start to walk out the door, she stops me again.  "We know you have it."

"Because of Mewtwo. I know."

She stands there in complete befuddlement.  "How do you know?"

"Mewtwo has messed with my mind, so every plan you make, I hear from your dad," I say.  "Mewtwo places a spiritual piece of me in the room.  Once, I think you guys noticed.  I sat down on the couch and I almost believed I was there.  You checked by laying down on it and your head was through my lap."

"I don't..." She starts.

"Have you recruited Red yet?" I ask.  "Or is your father still afraid to go up there?"

Her befuddlement dissipates and a irritableness arises.  "No, he refused to join even though we said he could get his pokèmon back. Even Blue and Leaf can't get through to him."

"He will not join, and, if forced, he will not do anything for you."

"We are getting off topic," she say.

"Good," I say.  "The other topic's answer will not change."

"I know," she say.  "Dad mentioned you didn't know on the phone."

"Oh yeah," I say.  "Do you know where it is because that would be helpful to know what it is."

"I was not told that much."

"Why would he tell you?" I ask. "He doesn't want to get captured."

I continued to walk off towards Pallet.  They just follow, not knowing what to say or do.  I get home and head upstairs.  They stay outside to think of what had gone on not five minutes ago.  I fill my bag with food, water, full restores, and revives.  I string it over my shoulder and left the house.  Axle and Sean stand there, waiting for me.
