“I don’t know you anymore, Tormund. You used to value all the lives of pokemon regardless of their potential.” With that he called back Nobuko to her pokeball. He was shocked by his brother’s desicion to kill the solrock. I’m sorry Tor, I failed to save what little of you was left and only succeeded in demolishing it. The phone call to his parents had gone from bad, to nightmare. “I called back my voltorb. Now release him, Richard!”
Yuki ran to Tor, the battle had done more than strengthen her. It had taught her that the young boy could be trusted and that her parents don’t need to protect her twenty-four seven. She only wished her parents had seen that last tackle. Tormund squatted down and patted Yuki. “You did great Yuki! I’m proud of you.” He then stood up and began throwing a pokeball up and down in the air. “Anakin, I’d keep an eye on your chimchar.” It was clearly a threat and could be heard in his voice.

Richard slowly dragged one of the claws across the officer`s throat, spilling a little bit of blood. Then he shoved him away when the Voltorb was out of sight. Richard signaled for Tormund to come to him along with his Shinx. He had a proud smile on his face, like a father to his son. Honestly the older man was proud of the boy, for reasons he could never really understand. Perhaps it was because he never got to see his son grow up when his wife told him to leave, Shadowbolt was both the best and worst thing in his life. It brought him closer to world domination, but further from his loved ones. It was the price he had to pay for greatness.
"Well done my boy, well done. Shall we continue?" Richard uncrossed his arms and stroked Meowth`s soft fur, she purred and nudged her head against his hand. Gengar hovered around Tor`s head.

Anakin gently caught the police officer and took his weight. Boy was he ever heavy! He had a strange craving to attack the shinx or even smash Richard now that the police officer was safe, but he couldn’t do either of those things with Richard’s Gengar hovering over Richard’s new pet. With one arm he dug in his bag and pulled out a bandage and some ointment from his first aid hit. He carefully tended to the officer’s wound. Then he remembered Professor Sampson’s words. "So, what do you think of him? He seems to like you a lot, when I captured him he threw a rock at my head." It’s time to take a page out of Tsu-Yoi’s book! He scowered the ground looking for anything grey preferably with sharp edges. Then he found one, bight in front of the police officer’s feet. He carefully bent down and picked up the ‘weapon’, then hid it in the palm of his right hand as he stood upright again. His timing had to be perfected if it was going to work.
Tor made his way over to Richard his eyes always on his brother. Then he noticed his brother bending down as if to pick something up, he pretended not to notice the movement, but when Anakin stood up with clenched fists he was forced to ask. “What’s in your hands?” He stopped and Yuki stopped beside him obediently.
NOW! He quickly clapped his hands in front of him allowing him to switch the two items he had in his hands. “Oh.” He opened his right hand and on his palm was an old coble gym badge which their father had given to him for a good luck charm when he was half his brother’s age. “It’s dad’s old good luck charm; he gave it to me when I was half your age. It was actually the only gym badge he ever got. Wanna have a closer look?” He knew his brother’s attention was on the gym badge and while it was he hit the nerve in his brother’s neck. “Get out of here! I’ll take care of Richard, just go!” He yelled it at the heart broken police officer as he hurled the rock he found at Richard’s head. Seconds afterwards he threw Nobuko’s pokeball. “Tor is not your apprentice! Nobuko and I won’t let you take him! Nobuko use Sonicboom on Gengar!” Shockwaves emanated from the Voltorb as she used sonicboom.
Tormund crumpled to the ground when Anakin hit the nerve in his neck. He was knocked out. Yuki quickly ran in front of her unconscious trainer, ready to protect him.

Gengar quickly caught Tormund and picked him up and carried him to Richard, who caught the rock in his hand. He looked the little rock over with a raised eyebrow, then crushed it in his hand. His eyes flickered back up to their little attacker, the sonic-boom totally missed Gengar. Meowth let out a blood curdling hiss, it sent a shiver down Richard`s spine. Rather than continuing to use his golden clawed Gengar, he decided to let Electabuzz take care of the rest of this petty battle. Gengar disappeared into his pokeball, then Richard let Electabuzz out. Electabuzz could practically sense the trouble that was stirring, and he wasnt about to let anything happen to his little girl and master.
"Electabuzz, why dont we just end this quickly? Discharge!" Richard picked Tormund off the ground and held the boy in his arms, waiting for the battle to end. He wasnt expecting it to last any longer than this one power packed move, a move even another electric pokemon couldnt withstand due to the level difference.
Meowth slid down from Richard`s shoulder onto Tormund and licked his face with her rough tongue. She purred and purred for him.
"I never made him do a single thing, that pokemon I gave him was a sign of my hospitality. Your brother made the choice to become my apprentice by his own choosing. And you`ll never really understand that. This is nothing compared to the pain you could face." Richard told him, "You dont know what pain is. Hitting your brother like that could kill him you know, ever think of that? Then that police officer would have to arrest you for man slaughter. Worse than anything i`ve done myself actually."

Tormund slowly awoke from his forced sleep at meowth’s licks. He slowly began to remember where he was but he also felt a splitting headache. He immediately put a hand on his aching forehead. “Thanks, Meowth.” Then he remembered that Yuki had been walking along beside him. “How’s Yuki?” He was worried for her. Even more so seeing as she was his responsibility. Yuki however was still in protect mode where he had once lay.
Nobuko tried her best to get out of the Discharge’s path but she ended up getting hit by it. She fainted on contact. “No Nobuko!” He ran over to her and got in front of Electabuzz and held her close in his protective arms. He dug in his pocket and pulled out her pokeball. He called her back into safety then turned around to glare at Richard. “You still offered him the spot. You knew that you had him wrapped around your finger to when you offered the position to him!” He still stood in front of Electabuzz but he didn’t care. He would get his brother back, no matter what.

Richard chuckled softly to himself when Anakin responded, he had no idea what had went on when the two decided on anything because he wasnt there. How could Anakin have known what his brother wanted at the time, even if it was an act of total foolishness. Still it could not be undone now.
"Sure I offered him the position, but only after He expressed interest in becoming something in my organization. And as long as he is under my apprenticeship he is under my protection as well. He made the choice on his own, however it isnt too late for him to leave. Tormund, now that your amongst the living, I`ll give you the option once again." He explained, glancing down at him and Meowth who still licked him, "Seeing that your brother came back and tired to help you, well would you like to go back with him and be a normal trainer?'

Tormund gave Richard a confused sort of look. He was still out of it a little bit from being knocked out. He shifted a hand from his aching forehead onto Meowth’s head and began patting her. Yuki looked back at Richard when she heard that Tor was awake. She let out a soft heart filled cry to let him know that she was alright. Tor smiled when he heard her. “I want to be your apprentice, Richard.” When Yuki heard that Tor still wanted to travel with Richard as his apprentice she wanted to jump up in the air and do a back flip, instead she ran over to Electabuzz and gave her father a quick hug. <I won my battle by the way, Dad.>
Anakin wasn’t surprised at his brother’s choice as it was Anakin himself who knocked him out. He let out a sigh. “I’ll honour your decision, Tor.” He had lost three things so far today. His brother, his spirit, and a part of his heart.

Richard nodded his head a couple of times before carefully getting Tormund to his feet. Meowth still held onto Tor though. She dug her claws into him so she could climb up onto his shoulder. Her head nudged against his as she continued to purr.
"Once a shadowbolt, always a shadowbolt there is no turning back. So if you betray myself or the team I`ll make your life miserable. But if you dont you have nothing to worry about." Richard told him, then looked to Anakin, "Oh, and if you meet a young man named Allan Faolan, give him my regards would you? Hes the number one rookie trainer at the moment, so hes the one you have to beat in order to be at the top. But if I know him as well as I think I do, he`ll be a pain in the ass to beat."
Electabuzz patted his daughter on the head and had a wide smile on his face. He was incredibly proud to hear that she had won her first battle. < Very good, your mother would be very proud just like me. >

For a moment or two Tor swayed as his torso fought to balance himself. He nodded showing that he understood. For some strange reason Richard felt more like a father to him than a teacher. He had a whole bunch of questions to ask Richard about Shadowbolt but he didn’t want to ask him in front of the ‘pig’. He winced a bit as Meowth dug her claws into him. He then looked over at Electabuzz and Yuki.
She smiled and stood next to her father. <You should have seen my last attack! It was so strong that it knocked the Chimchar into a tree and when he slid to the bottom of the tree he fainted.> She looked up at her father ready to bound after Anakin and his ‘pig’ friend. <Should we send them on their way Dad?>
He was quite grateful for the information. He can’t be too far away. I’ll heal Noboku and Tsu-Yoi, then challenge the gym in Centre Town. I’ll start off with Noboku, and when she faints I’ll use Tsu-Yoi. Yeah that should work! “I will. Tor You need to call home and tell Mom and Dad that you’re safe. They’d tear my head off if I told them.” He then turned around and walked to the police officer. “Next time we meet Tor, I will beat you!” He pulled out his parents’ business card and gave it to the police officer. “Call him and tell him how your Solrock died and that I owe you.” After the officer or ‘pig’ as Tor now calls him had taken the business card Anakin walked off towards Centre Town’s Pokémon center.

Richard shrugged, doubting that Anakin had the skill to defeat Allan but didnt say anything. He turned in the other direction as he crossed his arms. The shadowbolt leader glanced back at the other two, then looked back at Tormund for a moment. Richard flagged Electabuzz to his side before he had a moment to reply to Yuki. Tor probably had a billion questions to ask him, so it would be best to get a few of them answered before he did make his ultimate choice on if he would stay with Shadowbolt or not.
"Come Electabuzz we`re leaving." Richard told his pokemon, then looked to Tormund for a second time, "And you should call home in a moment."
The police officer took the card, nodded his head, then scampered off back to the police station to tell the other officers about what had happened. Richard dug through his pockets and found a very sleek and expensive looking cell phone. He punched in a couple of numbers to block out his caller information, then handed it to Tor.
"Keep it short and sweet if you dont mind."

Tormund took Richard’s cell phone and punched in his Mother’s number. He would have called his father if it weren’t for the fact that he actually wanted to hear after the call. He waited while the phone rang. Then his mom answered. “Hi Mom, its Tor.” He held the phone an arm length from his ear as his mother’s worried shrieks came to his ears. He then put the cell phone back to his ear. “It’s alright mom. I’m safe. I’m traveling with a guy named Richard.” He thought his mother would shriek if he said that Richard was the leader of Shadowbolt. His mother then asked if she could talk to him and he gave the phone to Richard. “She wants to talk to you.” He then walked over to Yuki because knowing his mother she would most likely yell at Richard and it was safest to be as far away from the phone as possible in that sort of situation.

Richard tapped his foot on the ground as he waited for Tormund to rap up his phone call. Meowth leapt onto Electabuzz`s head, and a jolt of static went through her body. All of her fur stood up on end as a little lightning bolt flew out of the end of her tail. Meowth sat down on the larger pokemon`s head and quickly began to lick all of her fur down. When Tor handed him the phone he nearly closed it, but when he mentioned that his mother wanted to speak with him for a moment he placed the phone against his ear. With an eyebrow raised he decided to say something.
"This is Richard Faolan speaking." Richard waited silently for her response. Based off the shouting that he had heard earlier, he thought he recognized her voice.

A small sort of frightened voice came out of the other end. Richard Faolan....“Richard, it’s Ophila Sayo. I want you to take good care of our little boy, alright? You see, Richard, Tor’s your son not my husband’s.”
Tor looked back at Richard. Normally if Tor had followed Anakin and some guy had found them and taken them in to his house she would have yelled her head off. Yuki tried to climb up to Tor’s shoulder like Meowth had but ended up falling down. He chuckled and picked up the Shinx in his arms. He slowly walked back over to where Richard was talking to his mother figuring it was safe enough to do so. Maybe his mother was a member of Shadowbolt and she was giving Richard some advice on breeding pokemon. That would explain why she cared for him a lot more than of Anakin.

Richard`s eyebrow remained raised as Tor`s mother explained who she was and that Tor was actually his son. Of course it was news to him, but he had a few speculations that his old lover hid something from him for awhile, but he didnt understand why.
"Ah it so nice to hear from you again Ophila... Why didnt you tell me sooner? I would have wanted to be a part of my son`s life. I suppose its fate that I found him here. Well I better start getting to know him. Farewell Miss Sayo." Richard closed his phone and put it back in his pocket. He glanced at Tor and crossed his arms once again. The Shadowbolt sighed and flagged Meowth over to him, she leapt off Tor`s shoulder and got onto Richard`s.
"Well, did your mother tell you or did she leave it up to me? To put it lightly your mother has been lying to you and myself. About ten years ago I ran into her, we had a short meeting or two and you were the result I guess. Though, she never cared to tell me until now."

“You’re my dad?!” He could hardly believe it. His whole life he had grown up to believe that his step-father was his real father. However this would explain why Meowth treated him an awful lot like Richard. His shock could be seen on his face. He lifted up Yuki and placed her on his shoulder. He had been so shocked that Richard was his father that he had nearly dropped Yuki. His little Shinx had been as shocked as Tor had been except her jaw had actually dropped. The two had seemed so much different at the beginning of the day, too much to be father and son. He looked at Yuki and laughed maybe his brother had been right years ago when he told him his theory about pokemon being able to tell their trainer’s emotions. If I’m his son then Anakin’s my step brother and I that also means that I have another step brother as well as Anakin. I wonder who he is.
