Chapter 4: getting information and a massacre
After hours of jumping from trees max and Meloatta saw civilization of mistralton city he was glad to finally to be in here.
Meloatta: looks like we are here.
Max: guess we are.
They made there way into mistralton city and he saw a few aircraft flying around but that didn't matter.
He asked around for a place to stay and apparently yet again it's the Pokemon center.
When he entered he was surprised to see similar nurses actually no scathed that they look the exact same.
They explained that they were sisters that are twin and to max's poor brain cells her sister looked the exact same. And it was terrifying.
However when the nurse joy in the chair got a good look at him she recognized him as the one who can heal Pokemon with a touch.
Max was surprised that he was famous around the medical community but he guessed since they haven't seen his abilities before it made sense.
They offered him a room and they agreed to let him stay if he helps around and if course he wouldn't deny it since he guessed that this was his part time job and they agreed that when he decided to leave for another center that they will have a room ready for him.
Anyway this looked fine it was dusk and he wanted to get some shut eye now that he is in a bed.
Meloatta wondered around mistralton city since this place was a new place for her and she meet some flying type Pokemon that were really friendly.
When she saw that it was dusk she decided to go back but a certain group of people with r's saw her thanks to there googles that can see Pokemon that can turn invisible through body temperature.
These were just scouts but they still had a job to do.
they couldn't track where it went but they will make sure she doesn't escape.
Meloatta opened the window and saw max asleep she guessed that now having a bed made him feel like he needed to rest.
She couldn't blame him after all he did all the jumping around.
Guess she could use some shut eye too it was just a quick Power Nap.
Max woke up and he saw meloetta sleeping in a small beanbag he rested his head on the pillow wondering what to do.
Since this place is a different city he could buy a book on cooking with those berries since he didn't want to just grab them and eat.
That with some other supplies.
He glanced towards the window and he saw a familiar group of people in black with a massive r on there chest looking at the Pokemon center.
He got serious and he got out of the room and when downstairs to leave the center to catch them by surprise.
He got into the building they were in but he hid behind some air ducks to easedrop on the but he also got his sword out in case he gets caught.
The grunts talked about minor stuff but what got his attention was that meloetta was an a medium to summon 3 legendary Pokemon that weren't as powerful as the other 2 but they were leagues above meloetta.
These 3 were thundurus,tornadus,landorus.
He will have to research those 3 but from what he heard meloetta's singing was powerful enough to effect these 3 legendaries and during ancient times there was a temple were meloetta and human worshippers would call on them in case she the planet needed to be restored due to disasters.
And they need meloetta and an artifact known as the reveal glass to summon these 3 and for what? You may ask?
Oh you know to rule over the fucking world yeah max wasn't going to let that happen and the fact that these idiots were work for a boss that was power hungry and talk about him like he was the purest man on the planet!?
Yeah they have to go.
He made whips and caught the grunts in one quick move he pulled them towards him and he cut them in two killing them.
The Pokemon soon appeared but he honestly didn't want to kill these creatures when they saw there masters killed they weren't happy.
Max: if I were you I would run away I don't want to kill any of you.
They didn't listen and reluctantly max had to stain his stain his blade of with Pokemon blood.
When he was done there was bodies on the roofs of both Pokemon and human he gave them a chance to leave but they didn't listen.
He checked one of the bodies and grabbed a datapad which held information.
He looked back at the massacre he did and he just walked away he didn't like killing but when it comes to people like team rocket there no better than a cult.
That's all team rocket was to him a cult full of blind followers that don't realize that they are destroying their own world.
If max gets his hands on the boss of these guys he will make sure to put him down permanently.
Max never considered himself a hero he didn't believe that criminals can be redeemed or something like that.
Because if someone actually has a conscious and realized what they did was horrible then he will give them a chance but when it comes to power hungry people who don't care about the damage or other who found pleasure in killing they are no longer human in his eyes.
And not to mention he has a massive amount of hatred towards cultist thanks to his biological parents and team rocket was a cult with more financial backing.
He will make sure that meloetta is save and that they don't summon those 3 Pokemon.
The next day came and Meloatta woke up but she didn't see max but he came back without jacket and in a different pare on him and she felt something off.
Meloatta: max? Where is your jacket?
Max: I put it in the washer I noticed how dirty it was getting along with my clothes. The nurses gave me some extra clothes to wear until it's finished.
If you think that he said all this to wash off the blood you are wrong.
Normally when max or any other exorcist kill a lost soul the blood turns to ash when it dies but with cultist since there humans and the blood doesn't go away so they came hired pure souls and humans who have abilities to effect clones and max's clothes along with everyone else went through a process that made there clothes not only more durable but blood proof.
When living blood gets on the clothes they vanished into ash like the blood of spirits which was black and no it has no dna.
And they made sure that it was still washable.
And he the reason why he wasn't wearing his normal outfit was because he noticed how dirty it was.
He grabbed the remote and turned the tv on but what was on screen was the news of the bloody scene of team rocket and there Pokemon.
This news was spreading like wildfire throughout the unova region and the world and this shook everything to there core of course they don't know who did it but the leader Giovanni who watched the news didn't expect to see the scouts mistralton city massacred like this and he felt a tinge of fear at seeing this.
Meloatta was shocked by the news but she saw that max wasn't phased by the news and that honestly scared her.
The news ended and they went back to there regular programs.
Max just let out a sigh and turned to meloetta with a serious look and she felt a chill but this one was of fear.
Max: meloetta. Do you know thundurus,tornadus and landorus?
Meloatta was confused by the question because she doesn't remember anyone with that name.
Meloatta: no I don't. But they sound familiar. why?
Max just pulled out the datapad he stole and he showed it to meloetta who saw the back of the pad that had an r on it and her fears came true but she would confront him when she finished reading the pad.
She read through it and her thoughts were running around her head she doesn't know these names but they sounded familiar to her but she can't remember.
Meloatta: I don't know these names but I feel like I do.
Max: you can't remember?
Meloatta: no i don't remember ever hearing these names this the first i heard of these names.
Max: okay then does the reveal glass ring a bell?
Meloatta thought about it but she once again came with a blank but like those names that object sounded familiar.
Meloatta: I think I know but I don't remember what it is.
Max crossed his arms in thought.
Could those 3 Pokemon erased her memories? It would make sense on why she doesn't remember it. And the most likely reason was because cause of power hungry idiots.
The revival glass was still a mystery to him but the datapad said that it's used to call upon them but meloetta has to sing for it to work.
While max was thinking about team rocket's plan meloetta though about what she saw on the news and she looked at max with an unsure look.
And he of course noticed this and was really for whatever she was gonna say.
Max: I know what you are thinking meloetta and yeah I killed those guys but the Pokemon I gave them a chance to leave but I guess blind loyalty is a thing even in other worlds.
Meloatta: but you didn't have to do it you could have-
Max: what? Turn them in? Yeah like that would work they will either get bailed out or some corrupted cops will let him out.
Meloatta: you don't know that!
Max: yeah you're right I don't but if these idiots have tools that can track you even when you're invisible and have a net launcher that would mean that they aren't some clowns they work for an organization that gives them financial support and that mean they can buy off the police.
Meloatta: but-
Max: and let's not forget that they want to capture you to use your singing as a medium to summon powerful Pokemon to rule the world not caring about the damage.
Meloatta went quiet and she was looking down on the verge of tears he guess that she barely experienced the harsh reality.
Max feeling like an asshole picked her up and put her in his lap grabbing her hand to comfort her and show that he care about her wellbeing.
Max: I know killing isn't right and trust me I don't like it either but meloetta when you see the things that I've seen power hungry morons psychopaths that kill for the fun of it and all other types of messed up people.
Meloatta looked up at him with watering eyes and he looked at the window at the spot where he killed team rocket.
Max: trust me when I say that I don't like hurting Pokemon or humans but when it comes to people who would do anything for such a stupid reason like getting power or just enjoying causing pain to others those kinds of people are irredeemable and need to be put down.
Meloatta was sobbing softly on his arm she felt somewhat betrayed by this act but it was mostly because she didn't want to acknowledge the harsh reality people were after her so that they could control the world.
And her being used as a key to destruction wasn't a feeling she enjoyed having.
She calmed down and she saw max having a worried look on his face and a part her felt like he went to far but through out her long life she remembered some Pokemon being hurt by other Pokemon and not just by humans.
So she guessed that max was his doing this to protect her and that is what matters.
Meloatta: I don't approve of what you did. But I guess I understand why but don't go around spewing blood you will be hunted by the police force and probably other trainers.
Max: I'll try. But right now I think we are in the clear since no one saw me and it would be smart to lay low until the heat dies down.
Meloatta looked outside the window wondering now that this topic was over what are they planning to do today.
Meloatta: so. Now that we are finished discussing "That" what should we do?
Max thought about and she remembered the gym that was nearby so he guessed that today he would see what is she about.
Max: well we might as well check out that gym leader I don't care much but I've been curious to see one of them.
With that they got up and went to check out the sky gym leader Skyla.
