Pokemon Revival Chapter 10 Aftermath

               Have you ever lost someone you love before? It is probably one the worst feelings you will ever experience in your life. I had experienced death in my family before. Long distance relatives dying and grandmothers or grandfathers dying is one thing. But experiencing a close family members death is something else. Being told that they have died is one thing but experiencing their deaths is something else. Believe or not I have experienced that pain before now.

(2 years before change, Jae POV)



               I couldn’t believe it! I actually got a date with her! This was incredible, the girl I liked named Elizabeth actually accepted to go on a date with me! Even better I told her I liked her and she said she liked me too! This was the first time we went out as Boyfriend and Girlfriend.



               I told her I didn’t have a license but she didn’t care, she liked me for who I was. I was getting ready for my date when my mom walked in, “Hey who is my handsome young man!?”



               “Mom I am not young, I am sixteen now.” I insisted to her.



               “I know but I am so proud of you, my boys first date, it’s a great day as a parent!” She explained.



               “Yeah it’s pretty cool, remember now she needs to go back by nine so I need you guys to pick me up by eight okay.” I demanded of her.



               “I know son, we will pick you both up by eight okay.” She promised me. I then nodded at her and continued to get ready. I got everything done, got cleaned up, got nice clothes on, the whole shebang. My mom then drove me to the movie theatre where she was waiting.



               Elizabeth was just a little shorter than me but the same age. She had natural black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a simple blue shirt and jeans and was waiting for me there. She noticed me and greeted me.



               “Hey Jae! Did you get all dressed up for me?” She guessed.



               “Yeah I just didn’t want to disappoint you.” I revealed to her.



               “Well you did a pretty good job to not disappoint me, anyway you remember I have to go back by nine okay, I don’t live to far away so-“ I then cut her off to tell her something.



               “Don’t worry my mom will pick us up right after the movie, you will be on time okay.” She gave me a nod to tell me she understood. We then proceeded into the theatre and got to our seats for the movie. We had pop corn and each of us had a soda for while we watch the movie.



               We had been halfway through the movie when she spoke up, “You know Jae? There was something I always liked about you, well besides your personality that is.”



               That actually surprised me, “Oh, well thanks for the compliment, I think your personality is amazing too, but what was the other thing you like about me?” I asked blushing heavily.



               “It’s your last name, Shidel. I think it is a beautiful name.” She stated.



               “Wait really? I am actually surprised you like it that much, I mean it’s nothing special.” I said humbly.



               She looked at me with a shocked face, “Stop being so humble, there is no reason you should. You are better than you think you are.” That response surprised me.



               “Oh! I am sorry it’s just I just don’t want to brag or anything, I think you are a thousand times better than I am anyway.” I explained.



               “Hey Jae?” She asked.



               I turned to look at her and asked, “Yes what is-“ I got cut off by a kiss from her. It was probably the greatest feeling I had ever experienced in my life, I couldn’t believe it my first kiss. We sat there for a minute and I just enjoyed the moment. After we stopped she looked at me.



               “Well you might not think you are that great, but I think you are one of the greatest guys I have ever met.” That comment filled me with joy, I had known Elizabeth for years, this was amazing. I think our relationship might even go farther.



               So I wrapped my arm around her and she just laid her head on my shoulder. We enjoyed the rest of the movie and just waited outside for my parents to pick us up. It was now 8:30, 15 minutes past when the movie ended, what happened they should have been here by now. Elizabeth looked just as concerned and around 8:40 she spoke up.



               “NO! I have to get home, my parents are going to kill me if I don’t get home on time!” I got worried, what should I do? “WAIT JAE! I only live a bit away, could you please walk with me there?” My parents bailed on me it seemed so I wasn’t going to let her down.



               “Alright, I will walk you home.” She smiled and we started walking. We had walked for about ten minutes when I noticed that there was someone following us, it was nighttime to I knew something was wrong. I grabbed her arm real quick and started walking fast.



               “Someone is following us we need to move now!” I said seriously. We started walking faster and I noticed her getting scared. We were about to pass another set of buildings when someone walked out from the side, oh CRAP!



               The man in front of us spoke, “Well look what we have here a couple of lovebirds out on the town.” Then the man who was behind us came up and started talking.



               “Yeah don’t you two think you should go at home?” He questioned.



               “That’s where we going now.” I said calmly.



               “Well would you like one of us to give you directions?” The man in front asked.



               “That won’t be necessary I know the way, it is where I live after all.” Elizabeth spoke up shakily. They started walking closer backing us into an alley way. This was really bad.



               “Hey why do you look so scared, you can trust us.” The second man said while pulling out a knife. I had to find a way to get us out of this. I noticed a steel rod sitting on the side of a dumpster and I started to reach for it. As the man with the knife got closer I quickly picked it up and smacked him right in the face with it.



               “ELIZABETH RUN!” I said while running toward the other man and slamming him with the rod. Elizabeth started to run but was got grabbed by the first guy I hit.



               “Where do you think you are going you wench!” I saw him grab her and turned around to try to hit him.



*P-TAFF!*



               “What just?” I asked scared. I looked down and saw blood coming down from where my right side is. I fell to the ground with a thud and held my side in agony. I saw Elizabeth scared out of her wits and breathing really fast.



               “Good shot.” Said the man holding Elizabeth.



               “Yeah, DAMN IT! That kid knocked out a tooth.” Screamed the man with a gun. “I am going to make him pay for that!” I looked up and saw he picked up the metal pipe.



               “What you gonna do, kill him?” Asked the other man.



               The man with the pipe smiled and said, “No.” Then he quickly spun around and bashed Elizabeth in the face. She fell down while screaming. Her screams gave me enough strength to push myself up and, oh god….



               He just kept swinging as she was on the ground, she had already been knocked out and he just, just, OH MY GOD! I couldn’t even do anything but sit there and watch, I couldn’t even move. Then a scream from outside the alley rang out and the two went off running. With the last of my strength I crawled over to her body and grasped her hand with my right hand.



               My last words before my consciousness left me was, “I am so sorry.”



               When I awoke I was in the hospital, my family was there but I was furious. I was so mad, if they were there on time they could have saved her! I was screaming at them asking what they could be doing that was so important. In short they were fighting. Parents get into arguments all the time, but it didn’t excuse them, it would never excuse them, if they were there it would have kept her alive.



               Guess what else her parents were mad at me too, I wasn’t going to hear it, I told them that I loved her and if you want the real culprits go yell at my parents. I attended her funeral, no matter if her parents were against it. This put me in a bad depression, I hardly did anything. I had my friends and my brother, they helped me through it but the pain never truly goes away. It was horrible, but my friends understood and consoled me. This also made me more aggressive. I would attack people who even dared talk bad about her. It took awhile but I did forgive my parents, but I still held them responsible for it.



               The pain I felt back then was atrocious, I knew her since elementary, knew her for years. So to lose someone who I had known for years was a horrible feeling.



               And now I have experienced the same pain all over again.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Lucario POV, present)



              I had heard Jae say mom and saw the women in the mans grasp, it was the only one Jae was looking at so it was her. She was in the same lab coats that the people who work in that building wear. She screamed out “Jon and Jae Shidel” so that was Jae’s last name. The police sergeant was calling out for him to let her go and what would he get out of doing this. The man stopped for a minute then let her go. He told her to get on and go to the officers. I smiled, I looked down at Jae and saw the same kind of happiness I felt, looked like he would get his mother back.



              *P-TAFF!* With the gunshot I heard I quickly looked toward and saw Jae’s mother fall to the ground. Oh no.  I couldn’t believe that just happened, what kind of sick person would kill and innocent woman like that. The man then got a smile on his face and spoke up.



              “At least this way I can survive.” He stated proudly. This sick freak, how could he do that to her. I looked at Jae and, OH NO!



              Jae was reaching for his Kukri and I knew exactly what he was about to do, I jumped at him to try to tackle him to the ground but he took off. He then ran through the people's legs and when he started running up the stairs he started screaming.



             -RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!-



             *F-SHIK!* With that the man started having blood run from his lips. He looked down and saw Jae hanging from him with the dagger impaled into his chest. Everyone in the crowd, all the police officers, and I could only guess the family was watching this as well. I turned around to look at them and saw Claire horrified wither covering Carol’s eyes and hugging her, Riley had his hands over his mouth and his eyes wide open, and Martin had a face of horror and rage. When I turned around I noticed Jae’s face. The look in Jae’s eye was nothing I had seen before. His eyes were thin slits with almost all the red showing. His face didn’t look like a Pokémon who was calm and collected, he almost looked, feral.



             *F-SLASH!*  With that Jae had turned the blade around with the edge pointed toward the sky and he pulled upwards to rip the blade up and out of the mans left shoulder. He almost chopped off the arm. I couldn’t even explain how much blood there was. The man started screaming and backing away while Jae just stood there with blood on his blade and in his fur. The man then looked at Jae angrily and pointed his gun and fired.



             *P-TAFF!* Complete miss, Jae was moving and side-stepped a couple of time until he jumped up and rammed the blade through the mans stomach. The man fell with a thud, and Jae quickly jumped into the air while the man tried to cover the new wound with his right hand, which was holding his gun. Then Jae came right back down and impaled the blade through his hand and into his stomach again. His hand got stuck and he couldn’t use his gun.



             Then Jae put both of his paws around the mans neck. The man then gathered enough strength to lift his left arm and punch Jae three times.



*POW!* *POW!* *POW!* *CRUNCH*



              When the man tried to throw a fourth punch Jae bit right into the mans fist and dug his fangs in. Jae got a bloody nose from the punches but he recovered quickly. After biting in the man started screaming again.



              But then I saw it. I saw white electricity building up from Jae’s paws. It got brighter, and brighter, and brighter until-



*CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!*



              With that it was over, Jae sent eight force palms straight into the mans throat. There were cracks in the concrete underneath the mans head. He was dead, the first force palm had broken his neck, what Jae had done was overkill. Jae got up from the man and ripped the Kukri out and put it in his sheath. When Jae turned around there was blood on his muzzle, on his paws, and his torso and some running from his nose where he got punched. Everyone else was still dead still. No one even dared to make a move, not even me. Jae then proceeded to walk down the stairs.



              To the exact spot his mother’s body was.



              He stood there for a moment looking down at her, I think he believed it could have been a dream. He then fell to his knees, held her head in his paws and started wailing.



              -RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!-



              -RRRIIIIRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!-



              He just sat there bawling. He broke, there was nothing left holding back his tears, he had enough, that was the breaking point. I saw the police officers start to advance but I was the first to approach. I quickly ran past all of them in the blink of an eye and was beside Jae. I put my hand on his shoulder and he quickly turned around and stared at me with a face that said, “CAN’T YOU SEE I HAVE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH.” His face stayed that way for a second until he realized it was me. I felt so bad for him, he had already been through enough, he shouldn’t have had to deal with this too.



              I then spoke to him, -Stay with her okay, leave everything else to me.- With that he nodded with tears in his eyes and went back to hugging his mother's head tight.

              About an hour later I had informed the police of a lie that Jae had known that woman from the Pokémon center for a month. The police, Martin and I went and built the scene of the crime. Jae hadn’t moved an inch, he was in the same spot I had told him to stay in. I then noticed Martin walk up to him and stop a foot away.



              “Jae, you broke my rule, I should not even have to tell y-“ Before Martin could even finish speaking Jae unhooked his Kukri’s sheath around him and threw it a few feet away from. He then continued hugging his mother’s head without even a word. That is it, I was about to have a talk with Martin, I quickly went up to him and grabbed his arm and dragged him a few feet away.



              “Lucario what has gotten into you!?” Martin demanded.



              ‘Where the hell do you get off!?’ I questioned.



              “What do you mean Lucario?!” He asked angrily.



              ‘YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE HAS GONE THROUGH!’ I shouted with telepathy.



              “OH YEAH LUCARIO, AND DO YOU SEE WHAT HE DID TO THIS MAN?” I looked to the man with disgust.



              ‘YOU MEAN THIS MONSTER, YEAH I SAW AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE DESERVED IT, THE PEOPLE AT THE PRISON WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM THE DEATH PENALTY ANYWAY!’ I explained mad as hell.



              “WELL ANSWER THIS, WHY THE HELL WOULD JAE CARE ABOUT A RANDOM STRANGER!?” He quizzed me.



               So I came up with an excuse, ‘Well let me tell you this. You do still realize that Jae is only three months old. That women had visited him in the center multiple times and they grew a bond. He knew her for a third of his life, so to him he had known her for pretty much most of his life. You do get that right? You want to try to make him feel worse than he already is, well before that let me remind you that Jae had risked his life to save me and your SON! So how about you be a little understanding and be there for him like he was there for Riley and I.’ That seemed to shut him up. Apparently his mother was working here at this futuristic building because an officer came by and told us they found her work I.D. here. Her name is Cindy Shidel.



               Jae was still with his mother but we had to move her now. But it looks like someone had that already taken care of. They put their hand on Jae’s head and that got him to look up. Claire had put her hand on  his head and started stroking him.



               “Come on Jae, we need to go okay.” She said to him with remorse. He then slowly turned around and hugged her waist. He still had blood on him so some of it got her clothes but that was the least of her concerns. “Let’s go home okay, let them handle this and we will go get you cleaned up.” Jae just nodded still hugging her. She then slowly wrapped her arms around him and lifted him up. She then walked back to Riley and Carol and I proceeded to go back and help fix the scene.  



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Carol’s POV)



               Well mommy and daddy said I had to come to this funeral thing. Apparently it had something to do with the woman from the other night. Mommy said she had passed away and that she was someone close to him. We had gotten in the car and I was wearing this black dress, I don’t like black so why are they making me wear this. I looked at Jae and he was frowning. Mommy said not to bother him, he wasn’t in a mood to play apparently.



               We drove for a while until we were at this place called a grave yard and we got out of the car. Jae just walked over to the area where the tent was. A bunch of my dads coworkers were there at this and had their uniforms on, better than what I was wearing. There was a staircase next to this black box and inside was the woman from the other night. I saw Jae start to tear up and my mom told me to get back. The funeral didn’t last long and they lowered the casket into the dug hole. My mom then handed Jae a flower and Jae threw it on top of the box’s lid. Once it was over we all got into the car and drove back to the house. Jae didn’t do anything but walk upstairs and back into his and Lucario’s room. I didn’t see him for the rest of the night, he didn’t even come down for dinner, was he not hungry? Nighttime came and mom said it was time for bed. I went to my room to lay down and fall asleep.



               I stood awake for a couple of hours, I was just too worried about Jae, he hadn’t eaten and it was really late. I opened my door slowly and walked to Lucario and Jae’s room. Inside I saw Lucario but not Jae, where was he? I went downstairs when I started hearing something from the training room. I took a peek inside and saw Jae standing in the center of the room. There was some blue energy surrounding him and in a moment. What the?

 

               It was a blue hologram, but it was a hologram of the woman in the box from the funeral. The hologram then started speaking.



               “Okay son, show me the trick you learned how to do.” Jae’s muzzle turned to the first smile I had seen on him all day. He then proceeded to do kicks, punches, force palms and all sorts of neat tricks. He then turned to the hologram who was clapping her se through hands. “That was amazing Jae!” He then replied to her in a language I couldn’t understand.



               The hologram continued to speak, “Jae I am so proud of you. You have grown up so well, even if you aren’t human anymore. I am proud you are my son Jae!” Son? What did she mean, how was Jae her son? Jae then ran up to the hologram and the hologram bent down and gave Jae a hug and he returned the favor. They sat there for a moment happily but Jae started to cry. The hologram looked down at Jae.



               “What’s wrong Jae? Why are you crying, I am here aren’t I?” I saw Jae start to get more upset. “I will always be here for you Jae.” With that sentence the hologram shattered and Jae slammed his head in the ground and screamed.



RRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!



RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!



RI-RI-RRIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!



                I just left him there, he was in so much pain, I couldn’t do anything to help him at that moment. That hologram said Jae was her son, and the woman had said Jae and Jon Shidel. I don’t know if it’s true but I will leave it alone for now and I would leave him alone for now. I then took my leave while hearing him scream some more and headed upstairs to my room to go back to bed.
