Chapter XXII: A New Beginning, And A Mysterious New Threat!
XX:XX, the XXth Day of the XXth Month
The night sky goes over to Mossdeep's Space Center Celestial Observatory. An alarm sounds off, and a scientist alerts Professor Cozmo about the meteor's trajectory, reporting that it's suddenly changed direction. He informs him that now it's on a collision course with our planet, and Cozmo tell him to recheck the data, update the course calculations, and confirm the new trajectory. One of the coworkers states that the target is locked on, and confirms the meteoroid's new expected trajectory. She states that according to the numbers, it should make impact... somewhere southwest of Sootopolis, on a small island off of Route 131! Cozmo is still surprised that it changed trajectories midflight, and suspects that it's almost like it's alive. The other scientist goes into shock, and demands what do they do, and Cozmo snaps him out of it, telling him to calm himself. He sees that it's come to this, and the screen fades.
It goes straight to the summit of a tower somewhere, and shows the same white Team Aqua grunt from before and a Whismur. She takes off her Team Aqua grunt clothes, and cloaks herself with her cape. She is relieved, as she feels so free, stating that the uniform got pretty stinky after a while, and all sweaty, too. She turns to Aster, her Whismur, and asks if it's that happy to see her looking like herself again. She calls the Whismur cute like always, but turns and states that there's not much time left for them. She states that it'll only be a matter of weeks... no, DAYS. She says that things have gotten a bit tricky now, since that kid managed to stop one of the super-ancient Pokemon from being revived like it should've been. She says that it's not a really big deal, because she's already thought of a new plan. She says that if she just tweaks a bit with a Key Stone, one with plenty of THAT built up... She then looks up into the sky, and swears that she will protect Aster...
So let me get this straight. You manipulated Team Aqua, so you could awaken Kyogre? BITCH, I had to catch that thing all by myself! They sent a KID into a dangerous room in a dark cave! And Aster? Aster is standing right next to you, what the hell are you looking at the sky for?
I wake up, and head downstairs. I find my parents downstairs, and Dad greets me. He says that it's been some time since he last saw me, but I look... stronger, as that's the impression he gets. He says that he hasn't given up yet, but then remembers that before he forgets, he was thinking of giving something to me. He gives me a pair of tickets, and says that they're tickets to the star show that's being held at the Mossdeep Space Center. He was planning on going with my mom, but he's got to rush back to the gym in Petalburg. He then has an idea, and suggests I invite that little cutie May from next door to come along. Dad, you DO realize your own wife is standing right behind you? Dumbass. Sides, May's gonna be my wifey, not yours, so bye, Dad! He says he has to go, and thanks his wife for looking after the house while he's away. Is that all she's good for? Looking after the house? Whatever happened to you getting busy? Where's my sibling who's mysteriously gone? Explains why my mother's a bitch, sending me away and all that shit... She tells him to have a safe trip, and he leaves. She then walks over to me, and starts talking shit behind his back, saying that he comes home for the first time in ages, and all he talks about is Pokemon. She wonders why he can't ever just let go and relax. I mean, hell, what was he ever good for? He didn't teach me shit at all. He lends WALLY a fucking Pokemon so he can catch his own damn RALTS, and he didn't teach me shit. Only people who looked out for me was May and Professor Birch. Hell, they might as well adopt me, because YOU kicked me out of the damn house too! Plus, sharing a room with May wouldn't be so bad at all, if you know what I mean... ( ´‿ゝ`) Point is, fuck this shit, I'm out. You and Dad can go talk it out and shit, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm gonna be off catching more Pokemon. Later, Mom!
However, the TV magically comes on, and says that tomorrow, the long-awaited star show will finally begin, saying they've got all the latest news and updates. Mom tells me to look at the TV, and the newscaster announces that at last, the Litleonid meteor shower returns to illuminate Hoenn's night sky, and that the star show held at the Mossdeep Space Center will provide the best view of the shooting stars from the center's lofty viewing deck. They hope we all will take the chance to join... The TV then mysteriously turns off, and Mom says it sounds lovely. She remembers going to see the Litleonids with my dad 11 years ago when they last passed by. She suggests I march right over to invite that neighbor girl I'm friends with, and says I can't let that pair of tickets I got from Dad go to waste, so I should take her along. Pretty much my plan all along as soon as you gave me those tickets. You both are helping me one step closer to getting that girl, so that's ONE thing I should thank you for! Bye, Mom!
I leave the house, and find the mysterious girl from the tower right at my doorstep. SERIOUSLY, how the hell do you know where I live?! Now you're about to invite EVERYBODY to my house, including Team Magma and Team Aqua! Oh HELL no! She asks if we are in sync or what, and says that she was JUST thinking about me. Yeah, and I was just thinking about May, but I mean, if you want to get into a threesome, that's totally fine, I was planning on building a harem anyway once I became Champion, so it's cool, no biggie. She says that it's great to meet me, because it's our first real meeting. She introduces herself as Zinnia, and she knows ALL about me. I swear, if you're just like that one stalker... TELL ME YOU'RE NOT A KILLER CLOWN IN DISGUISE, I'LL WHOOP YOUR ASS ACROSS THE REGION AND BACK. She knows I'm the new Pokemon League Champion, and I'm one of those special few who use Mega Evolution to get even closer to their Pokemon. STAY THE FUCK BACK, I'VE GOT A BIGASS FISH IN MY TEAM, AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO UNLEASH HELL AGAIN! Aster whispers to her, and she understands, and says that she'll leave it alone. She says that she's stopping, and looks around Littleroot Town, saying that it sure is a niiiiice place, and everybody living here is just so niiiiice too, like that neighbor of mine. BITCH, you better stay AWAY from her, she's mine, so unless you want to join in, then stay away. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WON'T CUT YOU? She apologizes, and says that she didn't mean to go on like that. She says that we should keep our first meeting short and sweet, and says until next time. She runs off with Aster, I'm just like... What the hell...
I head to May's house, and she is with her mother, but in pain... Did your mother smack you for being a bitch earlier for cockblocking my victory? Show some respect next time, girl! However, it turns out she hurt herself. Did you cut yourself after I beat your ass in that battle? And who even says "wibble" anymore, Mrs. Birch? May tells her it's not that big of a deal, and says that she just knocked her down a bit. Hold up, did Zinnia go ninja kicking your ass? She didn't go to the front door at all, she just ran off with her Whismur. Did she go GTA on your ass and beat you up by crawling through your window? That's why you always keep your windows LOCKED! She cries out in pain, and I enter the house. She's silent, but greets me. She asks if I'm alright, and is relieved when I say I am. She says that it all happened so fast, she couldn't do a thing, but... some strange woman came in her window, upstairs, and then she took her Key Stone from her. Yup, that is why you always keep your window LOCKED. She tried to fight her off with her team, but she was really strong, and May didn't stand a chance. However, she thinks she heard her muttering under her breath as she left, though, something like "Petalburg's next..." She tells me to be careful, and her mother wonders who could have done such a thing to her sweet girl. SHIT, she's gonna go after my boi Wally next! Better do something about that. Time to whoop some bitchass! Maybe by the end, I'll beat her team so hard, I'll make her my bitch when I'm done, because NOBODY fucks with my homies and gets away with it! TO THE TREV-MOBILE!
I head back to my house to heal my Pokemon, but then as soon as I leave, Professor Birch cries out for help again, and I immediately head to Route 101. Sure enough, he's being chased by a Shroomish this time, and sees me. He tells me to help a professor out, and says that he's got some Pokeballs in his bag there. When I look in his bag, I find a Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile! Since I already have Sebastian and Alpha with me, I choose Cyndaquil, and save Professor Birch. He appreciates me helping him out, and says I can keep Cyndaquil, stating it's from the Johto Region, where I'm from anyways. I put Cyndaquil in the box, and Professor Birch hopes to see me later. He somehow gets the feeling that he will, if he sticks around here, and he and Shroomish head back to Littleroot Town.
