Pokemon The Wandering Scientist - Chapter 12 Chapter 12

“Listen up, I know you believe that Team Rocket would not replace Alex with someone else, but I’m sure that they would, because it is their signature.” William stood up.

“Also, I know that she is kind of fishy, but we have been with her for a while, and she’s a better constant than a variable right?” William’s hand snuck into his pocket.

By this time, they have already stopped fighting, Gardevoir stood beside William, facing towards William. She knew that Lucario wouldn’t attack her as William was trying to convince her.

Gardevoir thought for a bit, before replying.

(Negative, Team Rocket wouldn’t risk lowering operation efficiency just for-)

William interrupted her, by shoving a pill into her mouth.

From the beginning, he knew that without considering emotional factors, Gardevoir’s decisions was the possible best, or even if there was a better one, he wouldn’t be capable of thinking one up, at least in time.

So his simple solution was to turn Gardevoir back into her green form, even if that meant using her trust of him not harming her.

“Sorry, I only have an emotional solution here.” William apologised.

Gardevoir didn’t say or do anything, she just turned towards Lucario and raised a stance in case of it attacking during this moment.

Lucario held a protect barrier against Gardevoir with two hands, signalling that it won’t attack.

So she turned back towards William, her eyes started to show signs of emotion, as she sighed slightly, and looked at Alex with a bit of pity in her eyes.

This was a sign of the pill kicking in.

William sat on the ground in await of her transformation, while she started to meditate for energy, stopping the necklace from providing energy to her.

When the transformation was complete, the emotional pokemon was back and Lucario went back to its pokeball.

(My apologies, I caused so much trouble for you.) Gardevoir apparently kept her memories of the period.

“No… you didn’t do wrong in your part. It was because I didn’t want to face my conscience.” William sighed.

(It was my inability to take it into concern. I shall commence healing now.) as Gardevoir was informing, she placed her hands in front of her body and released multiple pink coloured energy waves, targeting Alex.

Under the radiation of energy, The bleeding stopped, and little cracking sounds started to transmit out of her head.

The whole scene was a bit terrifying for the faint of heart, something straight out of a horror movie.

After that, Gardevoir extracted all the blood that was out of Alex’s body. Which formed into a massive sphere of blood.

A bright glow of purple light surrounded the blood, likely purifying it or something.

“I never knew you could do that, you’ve been going on medical websites again haven’t you?” William asked, knowing that she wouldn’t gain such knowledge if she only had access to what William has.

(I’ve been planning the trip for a long time.) Gardevoir’s answer was simple.

“Great, you’re our medic now then.” William rolled his eyes, knowing that he wouldn’t be of much use now, he sat aside, watching as Gardevoir went on to treat Alex.

Gardevoir went ahead and held Alex’s head up, the sphere flew towards a location in midair. The sphere was then split into sections, a large part of those went into Alex’s head, somewhere covered by her hair. The remaining was sent into her mouth.

Then, a white energy pulse was sent towards Alex’s head, which didn’t do anything visible to the naked eye.

Now that the second most important thing is done, getting out of the sinking cruiser was at first priority. It wasn’t a big problem at all.

Gardevoir closed her eyes, and not long later, she spoke, “Coordinates acquired. Gateway commencing in 20 seconds.”

She then started to count down.

“Twenty.”

“Nineteen.”

William immediately ordered Gengar, who was literally sitting aside the entire time. “Gengar, break down a few doors, keep the wooden part intact.”

Gengar acted immediately, it was just helpless and didn’t knew what to do, it had good execution abilities.

As the countdown was going on, Gengar blasted the door joints with Shadowballs, knocking off 3 doors.

William dragged them next to Gardevoir as the time went to the final seconds.

By this moment, an immense amount of energy is already being linked, an amount so large that they are literally visible to the human eye. They were spiralling towards a certain point, then struck towards different locations, forming a circular structure like pattern.

“One.”

“Zero.”

As Gardevoir said, a giant teleport portal opened, looking through it, was the ocean at about 10 centimetres right below the lowest point of the portal.

This portal was slightly different from the casual one that Gardevoir used before. The space connection didn’t immediately disappear, it was stable, unlike the usual ones that collapsed immediately.

Also, the teleport gate was frameless itself, meaning that there was no visible frame for it. It wasn’t glowing blue or white or purple, all there was was just the scene behind the portal.

“The Gateway is open for 15 seconds hurry up.” Gardevoir informed everyone.

William kicked the doors into the portal. A splash sound indicated that those went through the portal and arrived at the Ocean.

He then dragged Alex along the floor, and threw her into the portal. Followed by Gardevoir and Gengar that just jumped into the portal.

Next, he peaked into the portal, and noticed that Gardevoir and Gengar were on a floating door, which was next to Alex’s location.

Aiming at the third door, he jumped, the momentum caused him to wobble, and he fell, but at least not into water.

As Gardevoir saw everyone got out, she immediately turned back. Facing the violate energy that consisted of the door, she started using her energy. As her eyes started growing slight blue, the portal started shrinking, and energy was spiralled out of the door. The energy was transformed into healing waves, soothing the pokemons that were affected by the presence of a sudden unstable energy source.

“We’re safe right?” William asked lying down.

(Yes, seeing we’re in the middle of nowhere.) Gardevoir deadpanned.

William rolled his eyes.

“Gardevoir, why were you speaking earlier? Instead of using telepathy like now?” William asked curiously.

(Because even the slightest of energy disruption could cause the energy to get out of control. Like how cell phone’s magnetic field may interrupt or destroy an astro-scale telescope.) Gardevoir explained.

“Huh…” William was staring off into the sky. “If only people could use energy or aura like you.”

“Now that I think of it, why are we humans the main dominance species of the world?”

“Humans are mostly unable to utilise energy, nor are we able to use Aura. What makes us the dominant species?”

(Because of Wisdom?) Gardevoir suggested.

“No.” William shook his head. “You’re one of the perfect examples of this argument. Pokemons too can learn as well.”

(Then would it be of characteristics?) Gardevoir raised a finger.

William sat up, he pointed at Gardevoir, then Gengar.

“If you were mentioning about the noble characteristics that are in the stories, then no. Pokemons have more noble characteristics that humans could learn as well. Even if you were mentioning of the darker sides, still, some pokemons are pretty selfish. We humans and pokemons are the exact in this catagory.”

“For me, it would be, numbers.” William laid back again.

“No one single person can do everything. Even god can’t do that. For example, god can’t figure out how to use a hammer that can break everything to break a stone that is unbreakable.”

“This is rationally impossible, as physics tells us. But it meant that even god has to play by the rules.”

“But each person can do what they excel at most, and let the others help them do what they fail the most.”

“For each extra human, a new life that excels at something is born. With enough numbers, there would always be someone good at that specific thing.”

(There are more pokemons than humans though.) Gardevoir interrupted.

“That’s true, but don’t forget, pokemon is just a biology category. You won’t say that you’re of the same species as Gengar right?” William answered.

“This is exactly the problem, since it would be hard to establish connection, or trust with a species that isn’t familiar to you. And what would be more familiar than your own species?”

“At the very least, you would know how your own species would think. But for a species that you have no info on, you would have no idea.”

“Its like thinking if a ghost pokemon believes if they’re dead or not.”

“This is why humans have the numbers advantage. Humans are of the same species, biologically speaking at the very least.”

(I get your idea, but what’s the whole point of bringing this topic up?) Gardevoir was feeling a bit uneasy by this somewhat sensitive topic.

“Nothing really. Just, curious.”

Curious of whether or not that was the truth. William thought to himself.
