~Dennis~

*****April 12, 2008; 11:20p.m. *****

I pick up the phone to report back to headquarters. It takes me about five minutes to get through to my father, who was one of the higher ranking officials in Team Rocket.

I hesitantly ask "Dad?"

"Yes," he replies, "it is me, how is Charles doing?"

I reply, "He caught a Flygon earlier today and he also got his first badge. Do you want me to take his pokemon yet?"

The ruff voice on the other side of the phone replies "No, wait for him to get a full team, and then take his pokemon."

I acknowledge him "Understood father."

With that I hang up the phone and turn off the light to go to sleep.

~Adalene~

I hadn't trusted Dennis for some unknown reason ever since I met him and so I had been spying on him ever since I had met him. It might have been that he seemed to have an evil presence when he was around, or it might have been that he seemed familiar, but now I knew why I didn't trust him. He killed my father and stole my mother from me. Speaking of my father, Charles looked a lot like my father with the exception of his hair and size. My father was about an inch shorter than Charles and had blonde hair.

I wasn't going to lose Charles like I had lost my mother and father. I had to tell him what I had just overheard. The words I had overheard Dennis saying causes me to have a flashback of that miserable day when I lost my parents.

*****March 2, 2004; 8:36 p.m. *****

I was behind a bush outside of camp when I heard some noise on the other side of the bush. Curious I decide to look and see what had made the noise. I quietly creep up to the bush so that I can look outwards. I'm greeted by the unexpected scene of Dennis, who had befriended my father a year ago, was standing behind my father and had a gun pointed at the back of my father's head. My father was kneeling on the ground, and lying next to him was my mother, who was either unconscious or dead. Standing about ten feet away from Dennis was Mirabelle. She had her head turned away from the scene, as if she didn't want to be there.

Unable to comprehend what was happening in the scene before me, I silently watch as my parents spent their last few minutes together, neither being able to communicate with the other in their final moments. I was too scared to move, I could only watch in horror as I lost both of my parents. Dennis says something to my father, then pulls the trigger and a shot rings out. In the loud silence that followed the murder Dennis called my mother to her pokeball, and then put her and the rest of my father's pokemon into a bag.

By the time I finally return from my state of shock over the trauma, Dennis is gone along with my mother and friends, and my dad is ten feet away from me, murdered less than a minute ago in front of his only child. Unknown to me, when Dennis pulled the trigger, my father's last words were not "Goodbye Kiara." or "Why Dennis." Instead they were "I'm sorry Adalene."

*****April 13, 2008; 11:20p.m. *****

When I come back from my flashback, Dennis is asleep and snoring. I leave the safety of the closet I was in. I moved slowly so I would be as quiet as possible with my footsteps. After what seemed like an eternity I finally reached the door and using a stick I had found earlier in the day, open the door, and quietly sneak out.

Once out in the hallway I use the same stick to let the door close quietly so when it closes it doesn't wake Dennis up. After closing the door I quietly walk down to Charles's room where I had left the door propped open with a book.

When I enter Charles's room, the clock reads eight minutes after midnight. I climb onto his bed and gently shake his leg, trying to get him to wake up. At first all I get are a few muffled replies asking for a few more minutes of sleep, but in the end I succeed and manage to wake him up. He asks me with a sleepy tone to his voice, "What is it Adalene?"

I reply "Charles, Dennis isn't who you think he is. He's a murderer and a thief who works for Team Rocket and his father is one of the crime bosses in Team Rocket!"

Not knowing who they were he asks, "Who's Team Rocket?"

I reply "They're a criminal organization that steals pokemon, only Dennis is one of their special agents. They act friendly like he is now but as soon as you get your sixth pokemon he's going to kill you and steal all of your pokemon."

"Must have been some wild dream you had Adalene. But I was always told as a kid that if I have a nightmare to turn on the light and remind myself that it was only a dream and it never happened. Dennis would never do something like that to me, besides I doubt that he would be able to hurt a pokemon, much less kill a human."

I begin to tear up as I say "But this is real! He did it to my parents! He acted the same way he is now to my father. When my father got his sixth pokemon he took him out into the forest, shot him in the back of the head, and then stole all of his pokemon! My mom was one of the pokemon he stole!"

Trying to calm me down he says "Adalene, if what you say is true, wouldn't Mirabelle have told me he was going to hurt me? I'm sure she doesn't want to lose her mate."

By now I was crying quite hard because he wouldn't believe me. "Why would I lie about my parents? Ask Mirabelle! She watched Dennis kill my father!"

Mirabelle, who had woken up but had said nothing, was finally forced to say "Charles...she isn't dreaming. Dennis and I used to be a crime team for Team Rocket. We would befriend our victim and then when they received their sixth pokemon, we would kill the trainer and take the pokemon. I never could watch the last moments however. I've grown to hate what I used to do, and so I that's why I decided to leave him instead of doing what we usually would do. If you don't believe me you can ask Adalene, she was there when her father was killed and her mother was stolen."

I look down; her words bring back that the sorrowful memory of the death of my parents. "She's telling the truth about that, when Dennis killed off my father she was looking away the entire time."

Mirabelle noticing my sadness says "Adalene, your father cared a lot for you. In fact his last words were an apology to you."

Her last comment surprises me "Why would he apologize to me? He didn't have anything to be sorry for."

Mirabelle simply replies "That's for you to figure out; I couldn't tell you what he meant. But I do know that he cared a lot for you."

I simply nod my head and hug Charles, tears still running down my face. "I miss mommy and daddy."

I feel his hand rub my back as he says "You said I looked a lot like your father right?"

I look up at him with tear stained eyes and nod my head as I say "Yeah you do. Why do you ask?"

He smiles and says "How would you like it if I became your adoptive father and Mirabelle became your step mother?"

I was split between two answers, I wanted him to be my adoptive father, but I didn't trust Mirabelle and so I didn't want her to be my step mom. I decide to go with letting them become my new parents; at least until I freed my biological mother from Dennis's grasp, then she would become my mom again. "Yes you can be my adoptive father, but I still want my biological mother but until then Mirabelle can be my step mom."

Charles places his arms around me in a hug, and Mirabelle puts her arms around both Charles and I. Then I realize we still had not made any plans yet for how to get my mom back. "How are we going to get my mother back?"

It's quiet for a moment before Mirabelle suggests "I got an idea, why don't you tell him that you heard he had a Tyranitar, and you wanted to see it. When he releases Kiara, she will see Adalene and hopefully will rebel against Dennis. When that happens, we will pin him down, take all of his pokemon, and then turn him into the police who will set all of the pokemon he had taken free. Adalene gets her mother back, a threat is eliminated, and all the other captured pokemon are set free."

I hug Charles and say "I just want mommy back..."

Charles replies "That's actually a pretty good idea Mirabelle; we need to tell Ansgar though." Then adds "Adalene, we'll get your mom back, I promise."

I sniffle then say "Thank you; you don't know how much that means to me. I'm finally going to get to see my mom after four years. I wonder if she will even recognize me..."

Mirabelle says "I hope she does, the plan is based around her reaction. We need a backup plan incase she doesn't rebel."

Charles thinks for a minute and says "If she doesn't rebel, we can wait until he comes to take you all from me and kill me, then we will surprise him, and capture him. Although it's risky, it's all I can come up with right now."

Mirabelle says in response to him "Risky yes, but we should only resort to that if this plan doesn't work."

Ansgar finally wakes up from his sleep and asks "What's going on?"

I answer him "I found out that Dennis plans to kill Charles and steal all of us, like he did to my parents."

Ansgar looks at me and asks "You're half human?"

I nod and say "My dad was a human, he looked like Charles, and my mom is a Tyranitar who happened to get stolen by Dennis four years ago. Now I'm going to get reunited with her today hopefully, if all goes according to plan that is."

"Also Mirabelle and I have adopted Adalene as our child." Charles adds.

Ansgar asks "What's the plan for getting her mother back and will I need to do anything?"

"The plan is for me to ask to see Dennis's Tyranitar, who is Adalene's mother. When he sends her out, hopefully she will recognize Adalene and will turn against Dennis, and we can turn him into the police. So hopefully we won't need you, just Adalene. But if that plan fails, we have a backup plan, that is more dangerous and we will need you for that one." Charles replies

Ansgar smiles and says "Sounds good to me, I'll help where and whenever you need me to. I will always be there for you, don't you forget that."

Charles nods and says "Thank you Ansgar. For now I think we all need to go back to sleep, after all it is close to midnight right now."

Now realizing that I would have to sleep on the floor I ask Charles "Can we get me a cot? I don't want to sleep on the floor."

Charles nods and picks up the phone and calls down to the check in desk. When a young lady who sounds to be in her early twenties picks up he asks her "Sorry for disturbing you at this late hour but would it be possible to have a cot, some blankets, and a pillow delivered down to room 118?"

The woman on the phone happily says she would be able to and hangs up. A few minutes later, a knock sounds at the door. When Charles goes to answer it a young redheaded female human who was about twenty-two years old is standing in the hallway holding a pillow and is standing to the left of a rollaway cot with a few blankets draped over it. After she pushes the bed into the room she asks him "Do you want me to set it up for you?"

As they are talking, I walk over and stand next to Charles and look up at the woman. Charles doesn't notice me and so he continues talking with her.

Charles answers "No thank you, I think I can figure it out. Besides I've already disturbed you enough tonight."

The woman smiles and says "Okay then, goodnight, also your Larvitar is cute"

Charles looks down and sees me then looks back up and says "Thank you and goodnight."

After shutting the door he undoes the latch that held the rollaway together for easy movement and unfolded it five feet to the left of his bed. After setting it up and putting the blankets on it, he helps me get onto it. After I'm on the bed, he pulls the covers over me and kisses my forehead as he says "Goodnight Adalene."

He tucks the blankets underneath me, not tight enough to make me feel like I can't move at all, but also not so loose that I can easily move around. I reply "Goodnight daddy."

As I close my eyes I hear Charles getting back into bed with Mirabelle and Ansgar. Minutes later I fall into the deep depths sleep, dreaming of my parents like I had those lonely four years we had been separated.

~Charles~

*****April 14, 2008; 10:32 a.m. *****

I wake up and the first thing I notice is that Ansgar is gone but Mirabelle still had not woken up. I kiss her on the cheek and she stirs. I say to her "Good morning beautiful."

She kisses me back and says "Good morning. Where's Ansgar?"

I answer "I don't know, I was just wondering that myself, maybe he went to go get breakfast."

I get out of bed and check on Adalene, who was still asleep. I gently rub her stomach to wake her up. In a tired voice she says "Five more minutes."

I kiss her on her forehead and she reluctantly opens her eyes. "Don't you want to see your mother again?"

With my words she wakes up and jumps to the floor, obviously motivated to see her mother again. "Let's go!" she says enthusiastically

I smile as I walk to the door and open it so we can go to breakfast together. "I don't know about you ladies, but I'm hungry." I say as we walk down the hallway to the room where the hotel was serving complementary breakfast for all of the guests of the hotel. When we get to the breakfast room, Ansgar is already eating a waffle he had made. As I approach he smiles and says "These are surprisingly good."

I nod my head and say "Yeah, I like waffles to. They taste even better with berries on them."

Adalene looks up and me and says "I want to try a waffle!"

I smile and say "Alright, you want one also Mirabelle?"

She nods and says "Yes please."

"So that's three waffles, you want some juice also?" I ask

Mirabelle nods her head as Adalene says "Yes please."

I say "So that's three waffles and three glasses of juice. I'll get them for us, go ahead and sit down with Ansgar."

They go to sit with Ansgar as I go to the waffle maker and make breakfast for my new family. When I finish our breakfast, I sit down with Ansgar and the rest of my family and begin eating. As we eat Dennis walks in and fixes himself a muffin and some bagels. After fixing his breakfast he sits down with my team and me. After he sits down I ask him "I hear you have a Tyranitar from Mirabelle, can I see it?"

He nods and says "Sure you can, but let's eat breakfast first okay? We want to get on the road to Dewford city, it's an island and we can relax there. Don't worry about getting there, I know somebody who can take us there."

I reply "Sounds good."

After eating for half an hour we go outside and Dennis says "You want to see all of my pokemon or just my Tyranitar?"

I reply "Just your Tyranitar for now please."

He grabs a pokeball on his belt, then throws it and says "Tyranitar come on out!"

The ball taps the ground then explodes in a light red light which takes the form of a huge six foot tall lizard. When the light fades away, a dazed six foot tall green lizard with two rows of spikes running down its back is standing before me. The stomach of the large reptile had a blue rhombus on it, and there were several triangular black holes in the hide of the lizard. The Tyranitar looks around then when it spots Adalene runs to her and picks her up as it says "Adalene! I thought I would never see you again!"

Adalene replies "I thought the same thing when we got separated."

Kiara then looks at me and says "Is that you George?"

I frown and say "I'm not your mate George, I'm sorry. He was murdered by Dennis. I found your daughter while I was traveling with Dennis to Rustboro City."

It takes a moment for what I had just said to Adalene's mother to sink in. When she finally registers what I had just said she calmly puts Adalene down and says "Stay here sweetie, mommy needs to have a chat with Dennis." She looks at me than adds "I don't know who you are but could you please watch my daughter?"

I nod and say "I would be happy to watch her."

She looks me in the eyes and whispers "So help me, if you so much as make my daughter cry, I will rip you apart with my own claws, and I will make sure that it is a slow and painful death, understand?"

I slowly nod and say "I wouldn't even think of hurting your daughter ma'am, and please don't kill Dennis, I need him alive so I can turn him into the police and they can free all of the pokemon he has stolen from people such as your mate."

From the way she sounded and looked, it sounded like she wasn't just mad she was pissed, as in hide the children because a violent and gory murder might happen in a few moments mad. She walks over to Dennis, slaps her pokeball out of his hands, and then grabs his shirt with a large paw and lifts him off of the ground. Even though he couldn't understand her, she began yelling at him while she held him a foot off of the ground with one arm. Knowing she was about to show off her vocabulary, I covered the ear holes of Adalene mere seconds before her mother began her rant.

"You sad excuse for a human how do you sleep at night when you know that you have murdered innocent lives that you became friends with just to rob them and their pokemon teams! Where is your sense of humility? How would you feel to become lovers with somebody only to have that special somebody murdered by his friend? I hope you rot in hell you heartless, selfish, ignorant piece of shit! Why can't you be like the other normal humans and actually care about people? May Darkrai corrupt your dreams with his endless nightmares you sick fuck!"

After her rant of yelling, she throws Dennis to me and he lands a few feet away from me. I take my hands off of Adalene's ears and say "Dennis, I know what you did to Adalene's father; I can't let a criminal like you continue to run free around the streets, and that is why we planned this trap." I then turn to Ansgar and ask "Ansgar can you help me carry Dennis to the police station?"

Ansgar grabs an arm and says "I'd be glad to help."

Before grabbing Dennis's other arm, I grab the abandoned pokeball and put it in my pocket. I then grab his other arm and as we lift him to his feet I say "Lets go, you all coming?"

Adalene's mom picks Adalene up and says "Yeah we are, by the way, my name is Kiara. Can I ask you how you can understand pokemon?"

I reply "My name is Lieutenant Charles Taylor, but you can call me Charles. As for your question, I myself do not know, although I think it may have to do with my genetics. Also Kiara, your daughter is very kind and helpful. She was the one who warned me about Dennis and made it possible for us to free you."

Kiara looks down at Adalene and asks "You really are the reason why I'm free?"

She nods as she says "Yeah I am. I didn't trust Dennis for some reason and so last night I snuck into Dennis's room and listened in on a phone conversation he had with his father who is one of the people who is higher up in Team Rocket. That's how I found out that he was a Team Rocket member."

She smiles as she says "You know, you're a hero now. Without your bravery I would still be trapped in that awful pokeball and Charles's life would still be in danger."

Adalene smiles and replies softly "Thank you."

Ansgar eventually says "We're here; this is the Rustboro City Police Headquarters."

The headquarters was a large, important looking building with columns running from the ground to the top of the third story. There was a statue of a female police officer who was giving off a salute as she stood at attention. We carry Dennis to the door and Mirabelle opens it for us. We carry Dennis to the front desk and the Officer who was working at the desk at that time looks up and asks "Can I ask why you and your flygon are carrying that man by his arms?"

I reply "This man is Dennis and he is a member of Team Rocket, his father is a superior in Team Rocket."

She looks Dennis over and says "You're kidding me right? Team Rocket goons always wear their uniform."

I answer her "No I'm not kidding, he befriends his victim. Then when the victim gains his sixth pokemon, Dennis takes them to a remote location and murders the victim and takes his or her pokemon. If you don't believe me you can ask my zangoose Mirabelle. She used to be on his team."

She looks at me like I'm crazy and says "Pokemon can't speak human speech unless they are psychic. Now would you please leave? You're interfering with my work."

Mirabelle, seeing her look says to her in human speech "I can and do speak English, and as for what my trainer Charles is saying, he is telling the truth, Dennis is a member of Team Rocket and his father is a crime boss in Team Rocket. Dennis has probably stolen at least 60 pokemon."

The Officer looks at me and says "Come with me."

She walks down a hallway and we all follow her. As we walk she says to me "You can call me Officer Jenny. We have been looking for somebody who knew something about Team Rocket other than what they did and the name of the organization, what you may have gotten us is that link we have been looking for. That's why we need to get all of our conversation on tape. But for now let me say this, we are gracious for you turning in this criminal."

I reply "It isn't me you should be thanking; my Larvitar Adalene is the one who told me about it."

Officer Jenny turns to Adalene who was still being held by Kiara and says "Thank you so much. Because of you we might be able to bring Team Rocket down for good."

Adalene smiles as she is praised by the officer. A moment later we walk into a room with an expensive looking wooden desk. Officer Jenny handcuffs Dennis to a leg of the desk and then asks me "Is there anything I can get you?"

I shake my head and say "I don't want anything; I just ate breakfast an hour ago."

She smiles and replies "Okay, I'll be back in a minute then."

A few minutes later she walks back into the room with two other officers and a man in a black suit.

The man holds out his hand to me and says "My name is Sergeant Rick Smith, I hear that you managed to capture a member of Team Rocket who has inside knowledge of Team Rocket. Is this true?"

I nod my head and answer "Yes sir it is, his name is Dennis, and his father is a crime boss in Team Rocket."

Sergeant Rick smiles as he says "Thank you; I have a feeling we are going to be questioning him for a long time. If there is anything we can do for you to make you more comfortable just tell us please, but for now I am going to have to ask you to go back to the front desk with all of your pokemon while we interrogate him."

I nod and everybody but the officers and the Sergeant leave the room. When I enter the room where the front desk was, I notice that Dennis's bag had fallen off and was lying on the ground. Curious as to what was in the bag; I open the largest pocket and find an egg. Mirabelle looks at it and her eyes go wide as she says "That's a pokemon egg!"

Wanting to get a closer look at it, I lift it out of the bag and sit down in a chair with the egg on my lap. Suddenly the egg begins to shake violently. A crack appears at the top and I finally realize that the egg is hatching. I ask nobody in particular "Coincidence?"

Minutes later, the egg splits open and instead of a reptile or a bird hatchling in the egg, I'm greeted by a bipedal puppy with red eyes. "Mirabelle, do all pokemon hatch from eggs?"

Mirabelle gasps and answers "Yes all pokemon do, but what you have there is no normal hatchling, that's a Riolu! Charles, while she looks small, she can pack a real punch. But that isn't what makes her special. Riolus choose who they want to be their trainer. Charles, you just became one of the lucky few to be chosen to be a Riolu trainer!"

I reach a hand down to the newborn puppy, and when my hand brushes her head, I feel a presence brush up against my mind. "That was weird."

Mirabelle asks "What was weird?"

I answer "I felt like there was another presence in my mind."

She smiles and says "That is Riolu's mind brushing against yours. Eventually you will grow close to her and your minds will become like one."

I mutter to the Riolu "Well, it looks like we were destined to meet, but where will fate lead us?"
