With his masked Meowth propped up on his shoulder he strode out proudly onto the route. His long trench coat like cape flowed behind him, the long claw shaped spikes on his boots clanked against the earth under them. The air smelled like fresh cut grass, a smell that Richard personally hated. There were a lot of things that the Shadowbolt leader hated, but pretended to like.
Richard stopped suddenly and turned on a dime to see where Tormund had gone. He had given his son strict instructions to keep close, incase somebody with a grudge against him tried to snatch the boy to use against him.
"Tormund! Where are you?"

Tor had spent the last couple of months with his mother and step-father on the hatchery as apparently he had been diagnosed with a case of lung cancer, and had recently just gotten back with his father. Richard seemed a bit more uptight though since he had last seen him, he had actually given him strict orders to stay close to him without giving him a reason. He just guessed that part of the reason was that his Mother had kissed Richard when he was dropped off at the hatchery. It still was strange of his father to act so... protective of him even in the short amount of time that he had known him. "Tormund! Where are you?" He quickly ran to catch up with his father, Yuki at his side. “Right here Sir!” shoot.... he had once again gotten used to calling his father figure sir once again. All thanks to his mother wanting him to return home so that his abusive step-father didn’t clue into the fact that Richard was his father, and that his mother had cheated on him some eleven years ago. The thing that made his last homecoming awkward was the fact that she brought his older step-brother home as well, and considering their last meeting was when Anakin had found out that he was Richard’s apprentice.

Richard snapped back around and continued walking, but with a smaller stride so Tormund could keep up more easily. Meowth tilted her head at Tor and squeaked out a little feminine meow. Her master scratched her lovingly on the head as she purred like a little motor boat.
"What did I tell you about keeping close? There are dangerous pokemon out here, and I wont always be around to protect you. If you one day wish to be in the running for my position, you must show me that you can obey orders." Richard replied, realizing that the word orders may have been a little too insensitive. But the Shadowbolt couldn`t fix who he was, Richard sighed, "Don`t make me worry about you, I`m not used to watching out for a boy your age... Did your mother ever talk about me while you were there with your step father?"
His mind quickly flashed back to the moment she kissed him. At first, it was a happy reminder, but then he felt a stroke of anger course through him. How could she do such a thing while her husband was on his deathbed? It was an outrage to him, and he doubted that they could ever have a real relationship. If she had cheated on her husband with Richard, what would stop her from cheating on him if they were to get together?

He hated his step-father so much. The man had abused not only Anakin but himself as well. When he had returned home his Mom had given him a haircut which he ‘desperately needed’ according to her, along with some new clothes which he was wearing at this very moment. He wore a white T-shirt and a teal and yellow necklace around his back. His duffle bag had been changed to a black backpack which his mother had claimed was more ethical for a Pokémon trainer. His pair of shorts were mainly white with Two thick black stripes down the side, one on each side. Over his eyes he wore a set of oval sunglasses like his father and on his wrists he wore a pair of sweatbands. The poketch that his mother had given him for his birthday present was in his bag along with the other items she had gotten for him when she went into town. He then saw his father turn towards him and shorten the length of his steps so he could keep up with him better.
"What did I tell you about keeping close? There are dangerous pokemon out here, and I wont always be around to protect you. If you one day wish to be in the running for my position, you must show me that you can obey orders." He looked down at the ground, ashamed. At least all he had received from his father was a growling, if it was his step-father he’d have been given a decent amount of wallops for that. Even if he knew it wasn’t Tor’s fault he couldn’t keep up. Then his father spoke again after he sighed, "Don`t make me worry about you, I`m not used to watching out for a boy your age... Did your mother ever talk about me while you were there with your step father?"
He searched his memories looking to see if she had said anything about him. He scratched his head. “She didn’t say anything that I can remember as my step-father was always around. Oh and Dad, I’m sorry for making you worry about me before.” Yuki on the other hand tried to climb up the boy’s leg to his shoulder. She was jealous at how easily meowth could get on Richard’s shoulder sometimes and often counteracted it by attempting to get on Tormund’s shoulder.

Richard listened to Tor, and watched what he did in response. The result was much different than the Shadowbolt would have though, if it was his other son Alphonse he would`ve have apologized but showed no sign that he ashamed the slightest bit. His sons were two very different people, though, Tor was still young and learning. A little smile spread across his face, but it was hardly noticable. Richard unhooked his clawed glove from his left hand for a moment then turned to Tormund.
"Don`t worry about it kiddo." Richard told him, then placed his hand on his son`s head. He didn`t seem nearly as scary as he looked now, in fact this was just another factor that proved that even the great Shadowbolt leader himself was an actual human with feelings.
"Do not be ashamed either my son, you hardly did anything wrong. It was just my underdeveloped parenting skills." continued Richard, now putting his glove back on. The claws clanked together with a loud, high pitch scraping sound. "If you wish to see all of the scariest and most powerful pokemon in the world, you must conquer fear itself first. Do not feel shame unless you`ve committed a serious crime, do not feel fear unless you`re about to see your life flash before your eyes. Leave all of those childish emotions behind, only keep the ones that`ll get you through life. Keep happiness close to you Tormund, or you might lose it on the way..."
Richard started walking again, but he didn`t say another word after that for quite some time. He had obviously hit his own sore spot in his little speech.

The young Shadowbolt continued to stare at the ground and smiled a bit when he saw Yuki’s attempts to get up on his shoulder. He bent down and gently lifted her around the middle and placed her on his shoulder. When he was sure she was ready he stood up, his gaze still on the ground. “Don’t worry about it Kiddo.” He looked up when his father spoke to him, his smile still on his face. He then felt his father’s hand on his head. It wasn’t the clawed glove either but his father’s flesh, the very same flesh that his mother had fallen in love with.
"Do not be ashamed either my son, you hardly did anything wrong. It was just my underdeveloped parenting skills." He then felt his father’s hand leave his head and heard a high pitched scraping sound which he saw was from the claws on his father’s gloves. "If you wish to see all of the scariest and most powerful pokemon in the world, you must conquer fear itself first. Do not feel shame unless you`ve committed a serious crime, do not feel fear unless you`re about to see your life flash before your eyes. Leave all of those childish emotions behind, only keep the ones that`ll get you through life. Keep happiness close to you Tormund, or you might lose it on the way..." Richard then began walking again and Tor stuck to his side obediently.
They walked in silence for quite some time, the whole time Tor was trying to work up the courage to tell him what his step-father used to do to him and still does to Anakin. “You’re parenting skills aren’t undeveloped though Dad, my step-father’s is!” He took a deep breath and released it, so that tears didn’t fall from his eyes. His smile was no longer there. “H-he would abuse Anakin and me when Mom wasn’t around. The only thing that stopped him from abusing me when I spent time with them this time was Yuki.” He reached his right arm up to his left shoulder and scratched the little Shinx’s head as a way of saying thanks again.

Richard surprisingly didn`t boil over with rage when Tormund informed him that his step father was abusive to him. The Shadowbolt commander could still hardly believe that he had a second son, and had hardly had any time to get to know the boy. But still it did disturb the man, what sort of abuse did Tormund mean?
"Well next time you return home, an Executive of Shadowbolt will be accompanying you to ensure that he can`t do anything to you. Or perhaps I should just go myself, your step father would probably be afraid of me. I should put an end to his suffering." Richard responded, meaning that he could go and kill Tormund`s step father. He paused though, thinking that might be too violent for the boy. But if he wanted to be a true shadowbolt, he would just have to deal with it.
"So what did he have that attracted your mother? Money, some kind of fortune? She has a seriously bad taste in men... High class criminals and child abusers, perfect. Pff... never mind actually, I dont think I want to know."
Meowth clung to Richard`s shoulder and kept a perfect balance. She purred softly as she slept, not even noticing that they spoke loudly. Richard associated Meowth`s purring with his eldest son, whom the cat pokemon would often sleep with the boy when he was younger. Meowth represented so much in his life, his whole life in the world of pokemon had involved that very same cat. Richard had found Meowth as a teeny tiny kitten, who was being picked on by some wild pidgey, he saved her and they had been together ever since. A loyal bond like no other could even begin to think of.
"I still can not figure out why Meowth hasn`t evolved yet, no scientist can explain it... She tells me all of the time that she wants to become a Persian, so she can walk by my side." Richard commented, changing the subject. But his mind kept swaying to his eldest son, and wondered if he had any other mysterious estranged children out there.

A Houndour was scavenging the terrain when he looked up to see two people. Whether or not they were minding their own business, he didn't care - this was his territory. He gave a short but sharp bark, and as quickly as he had given this order he was accompanied by another Houndour and a Poochyena. The Poochyena was nearly still a baby, but she made up for it with determination. The two Houndour ran to either side of the humans and the Poochyena ran behind them. The circled the humans as if they were stalking their prey. The Houndour that had spotted them, the only male in this pack, opened his mouth and released a rather large flame for his size, aimed directly at the Meowth that was stationed on the taller human's shoulder. He didn't know how strong the Meowth was, but the three of them could beat it with no problem, he was sure. He would never lead his pack into danger, nor a situation that could end up being dangerous. This was not one of those cases, in his opinion. The two females, one a Houndour, the other a Poochyena, still circled the humans so that they couldn't escape. The radius was quite large to give room for attacks, but they could also easily catch them if they tried to run. It was, after all, survival of the fittest, right? There was just something odd about that Poochyena, though. It wasn't like other of its breed. Three wild Pokemon are attacking!

Tormund rubbed his eyes, trying to make it look like he was just trying to get dirt out of his eyes despite the fact that he was wearing sunglasses, when he was actually trying to prevent tears from rolling down his face from remembering his step father’s bashigs. "Well next time you return home, an Executive of Shadowbolt will be accompanying you to ensure that he can`t do anything to you. Or perhaps I should just go myself, your step father would probably be afraid of me. I should put an end to his suffering." He looked up at his mentor who was clearly enraged by what his step father had been doing and smiled. “You should go yourself Dad, I’m pretty sure Mom would love to have you at home even if it does mean that he finds out about Mom cheating on him.”
Tormund hated his step father’s guts and didn’t really care if someone did kill him, his hatred was perfectly logical though; who wouldn’t hate a man who punched them for getting the slightest thing wrong? So he didn’t think that Richard ending the man’s life suffering was a bad thing. He doubted that his mother would object to it either as the two of them seemed to be arguing all the time when they thought that the two boys were asleep. He nerver caught what they were arguing about, he only heard raised voices. During the time he was away from his father, his anger at his step father had grown.
"So what did he have that attracted your mother? Money, some kind of fortune? She has a seriously bad taste in men... High class criminals and child abusers, perfect. Pff... never mind actually, I dont think I want to know." The young boy laughed. His father fif have a right to know how ‘sir’ had attracte his mother but Tor himself didn’t even know. “You shouldn’t be complaining though Dad!” He beamed up at his father.
"I still can not figure out why Meowth hasn`t evolved yet, no scientist can explain it... She tells me all of the time that she wants to become a Persian, so she can walk by my side." The cogs of his brain began to turn yet the only thing he could think of was a mysterious drop in levels. “Maybe her levels have dropped, that’s the only thing I can think of other than her holding a non-evolution stone. Wait a minute how can you understand her?” He was completely confused about how his father could understand the Meowth lucario hybrid. Just then a group of wild Pokémon appeard and began circling the two Shadowbolt members.
“Hey, Dad that poocheyna looks strange, what do you think is wrong with it? Yuki, let’s give Meowth a hand by taking care of her attacker! Tackle!” Yuki attacked the Houndour, hoping that Meowth had her back should she be ambushed by the other two members of the group. Meanwhile Tor swung his bag off his back and grabbed a pokeball out of it, he had every intention to catch that Houndour once he beat it, as it would make a great addition to his team.

Richard eyed the strange Poochyena, knowing that it was a shiny pokemon, which were very rare and therefor he wanted it. Of course a Houndour would be nice on his team as well, but the shiny pokemon was his top priority at the moment.
Since Yuki was taking on the head of the pack, Meowth decided to go after the Poochyena for her master. Meowth dodged the flames, as did Richard, and leapt over the Houndour to the poochyena. She released her razor sharp claws and went at the Poochyena with them, using her scratch attack. Neither of the other two had extra pokemon, so Meowth would have to work over time to take down both of the female pokemon. Richard hadn`t bring any of his other pokemon along.
A Larvitar had been watching them, waiting for his trainer to hurry up so they could train. This seemed like the perfect chance to take down some larger pokemon. Larvitar dashed towards the female houndour and opened its jaws to bite down on the Houndour. The Larvitar`s trainer soon caught up, the rock pokemon belonged to a pretty blond girl who seemed a little bit scattered. Melissa brushed her hair out of her face and grinned at her cranky Larvitar.
"I hope you guys dont mind, Larvitar doesn`t really listen to me much." Melissa laughed, then noticed the Shadowbolt sign on the man`s long coat. Richard looked at the Larvitar, an incredibly rare pokemon that turned into a powerhouse monster. However, he wouldnt steal a pokemon from a girl.
"Not at all." Replied Richard, "We could use an extra hand in this case."

The Poochyena wasn't as quick as the two Houndour, as she was still young. Seeing the Meowth coming towards her was a myth, for she hadn't noticed it. Being scratched by the sharp claws of the cat made her angry, but it also left some pretty nice wounds that would most likely be scars after they healed. Not knowing what else to do at the moment, she howled. She had a distinctive howl, as well as appearance. Her her was a bit screechy, but not the type that would hurt the ears. Instead, it was sort of a feminine voice, rather than a regular Poochyena's howl would sound. She could feel herself becoming stronger as her spirit raised, and her attack would be more effective now. If she had the time to attack, that is.
The male Houndour jumped nearly sideways to dodge the tackle. He had to be fast to keep his 'family' safe. He then quickly dashed over to the Poochyena's defense and directed another Ember attack at the Meowth. He always came to the defense of his pack members, and someday would make a great Houndoom, most likely. He always helped anyone he could that actually needed it, and attacked those whom smelled like trouble.
The female Houndour noticed a little greenish colored Pokemon coming at her, and she exhaled a poisonous, gassy breath, which was known to the humans as Smog. This would possibly poison the Larvitar, and at the same time conceal herself so that her new foe would not be able to see her as well.

(Not really in the mood of replying, so forgive me if its short)
Larvitar made one last attempt to bite the Houndour, but failed to do so. Melissa paused suddenly when she heard some loud wing flaps not too far away, and knew that Larvitar heard them too. The two looked at eachother, then decided to get out of there before something bad happened, even if they were houndour-less.
Richard heard the faint noise too and knew that it probably meant trouble. No little pidgey or spearow could beat their wings like that. The Shadowbolt leader looked to his son and the little shinx, he had to get them out of there.
"Tor, take Yuki and yourself else where. Far from here, Meowth will go with you. No questions, just go." Richard barked.

The female Houndour was hit unexpectedly by the Larvitar, and she was shaken by the attack. She was struggling to stand up again when the male Houndour barked fiercely. <Time to get out of here, now!> he was saying. The two Houndour quickly fled from the scene, for the male Houndour had smelled trouble lurking about. The Poochyena, however, was lying on the ground, unable to stand, much less run. She growled at the sound and smell, but couldn't do much more than that at the moment. She was simply stuck here, abandoned by her pack members, and would most likely be caught or hurt even worse now. She tried to bark to get her friends' attention, but couldn't get her voice to work properly, as she was too tired. The pup laid her head down in defeat, waiting for the worst to happen.
Meowth has gained one level!
