"What a massive headache."
Alder felt like his head was about to explode. Last night, the council members attacked him with words in the meeting room. Their constant shouting made him feel incredibly frustrated.
The meeting was one long argument from the beginning to the end. He had a blank expression on his face the entire time. Alder felt increasingly powerless as time passed.
He really did not want the position of Champion anymore. He even felt a strong desire to just quit and leave everything behind.
But Alder still had a sense of duty. Right now, there was no one else in the Unova region. If he did not hold things together, who would do it? He could only hope that a successor would appear soon in the Unova League.
Thinking about this, Alder could not help but sigh again. If only N had not joined Team Rocket. N would have been the perfect candidate for the Unova Champion.
But one could only say it was fate.
"Do not overthink it, Senior Alder. We came here today to relax, right?" Wallace said this to comfort Alder while he admired the scenery.
He and Steven had specifically chosen a place with beautiful views for a vacation. He had not expected Alder to suddenly want to come along too.
vistas para vacacionar. No esperaba que Alder de repente quisiera acompañarlos.
Listening to Alder talk about the meeting during the whole trip made Wallace feel very sympathetic toward the older man.
Luckily, he had Steven in the Hoenn region. Otherwise, he would probably be in the same state as Alder is now.
"The Team Rocket situation is not something one or two regions can solve. That inherently evil Damian... to defeat him..."
Wallace was observing things very clearly now. He had realized that it was impossible to defeat Team Rocket with the strength of just one region.
It was simply impossible!
Even in Kanto, which was known as the strongest region, Wallace felt it could not be done.
"My, my... what a small world. Wallace, you are speaking ill of me behind my back again."
Suddenly, the eerie voice of a young man drifted over. It gave Wallace a fright.
"Damian?!"
"Damian, why are you here?"
"Elesa?!"
Wallace followed the sound and saw Damian dressed in all black. Wallace's eyes went wide with shock.
He thought this was terrible. How could he run into this man everywhere he went?
Steven also frowned as he looked at Damian. Alder, on the other hand, was staring in shock at Elesa standing behind Damian. Even though her clothes and style were very different from his memory, he saw it was indeed the Nimbasa Gym Leader, Elesa, after observing her closely.
Why was Elesa with Damian?
Alder had heard a report from Officer Jenny. Lately, Elesa had temporarily closed her gym. The rumor was that she had gone out to relax and go on vacation.
Alder had not really thought much of it. After all, everyone needs time to relax.
Even though Elesa's vacation seemed to be lasting a long time, Alder had not investigated it further because Officer Jenny could still contact her.
But Alder never expected that Elesa was actually with Damian.
"Champion Alder..." Elesa met his gaze silently.
"Do not stare at Elesa like that, Champion Alder. She is my captive," Damian said. He smirked.
Alder's mouth twitched. He wondered why Damian was admitting to kidnapping Elesa so openly.
That was a crime.
"Do not worry, do not worry. Do not look at me like I am some kind of jerk. I will send Elesa back to Nimbasa City in a few days. Do not worry, she will definitely be healthy."
Damian tilted his head slightly. Noticing the way Alder and Wallace were observing him, he clicked his tongue.
Hearing this, Alder felt a bit relieved. To be honest, even if he knew Elesa was being forced to stay by Damian, he had no way to rescue her.
"Damian, why exactly are you here?" Steven asked. He sounded suspicious.
"I am just traveling to see the local customs and people of Unova. I just did not expect to run into my three teachers."
Damian smiled brightly.
Wallace and Steven both felt their hearts sink. Teachers?
That nickname immediately brought back memories of their time in Hoenn.
Wallace appeared as if he was about to collapse, while Steven's expression turned very strange.
Damian smiled sunnily. Wallace quietly stepped backward. He tried to hide behind his best friend, Steven.
But very soon, Wallace realized something was wrong. He could not move!
Wallace observed that it was indeed that Shadow Mewtwo.
He felt trapped. He had been caught!
"Oh? Wallace, where do you think you are going?"
Damian looked at Wallace. He smirked. Luckily, he had sharp eyes. He had not expected this teacher to react so quickly.
"You scoundrel! I am telling you, I will absolutely not give in today!"
Wallace started yelling at Damian. Shadow Mewtwo's psychic powers were already holding him in place.
Alder was completely confused. He did not understand why things had suddenly turned out like this.
"Steven, what is this?"
Alder looked at Steven, whose expression was very complicated. He wanted to find an answer. After all, Wallace's extreme reaction was really unusual.
"Umm... how should I put this? Privately, Damian actually has a small hobby. He likes to film movies with people," Steven whispered to Alder after hesitating.
Filming movies? Alder was shocked. He wondered if it was a decent kind of movie.
"Do not be so excited, Wallace. You have already filmed many times." Damian was still smiling. He even used a respectful title for Wallace again.
It was a sign of respect for a teacher sacrificing himself for art.
"Doing it a few more times will not hurt."
"Damian! Do not push me too far!" Wallace was furious.
He wondered why Damian said "so many times." It was only twice!
It was true that he no longer hated wearing women's clothes. He had even secretly tried them on by himself in private. However, wearing them himself was different from being forced by Damian. Being photographed was different. Those were two separate things.
"Oh?" Damian's smile slowly became dangerous. "It seems Wallace does not want to cooperate."
"Hmph!" Wallace snorted coldly.
This was not the Hoenn region. Damian had nothing he could use to threaten him here. As long as he did not cooperate, what could Damian do to him?
"Mewtwo." Damian thought for a moment and called out to Shadow Mewtwo.
Shadow Mewtwo immediately understood what Damian meant. It raised its hand and pointed it at Wallace. A purple flame of psychic energy flickered in its eyes.
A Poké Ball on Wallace's belt was suddenly forced to fly out.
"Damian! What are you doing?!"
Wallace's expression changed instantly.
With a movement of Shadow Mewtwo's finger, the Poké Ball opened. A white light hit the ground, and a beautiful Milotic appeared.
But before Milotic could even understand the situation, a massive force of gravity slammed down on its body. The pressure pinned Milotic flat against the ground. She was unable to move at all.
"Milotic!" Wallace cried out in shock.
"If I remember correctly, Wallace, your Milotic is female, right? She is very beautiful."
The corners of Damian's mouth slowly curled up. He began spinning a Poké Ball on his fingertip.
That was right; Wallace's main Milotic was female. This was the same as in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire versions.
"Damian, what on earth do you want?" Wallace's heart tightened.
"Coincidentally, I also have a snake-like Pokémon. And it just happens to be male."
Damian opened the Poké Ball. A massive Gyarados slammed onto the ground with a heavy thud. It landed right in front of Milotic.
Its ruby-red scales shimmered beautifully under the sunlight.
"A shiny Gyarados. It is very beautiful," Alder praised instinctively.
"Indeed. And that size... it has been raised very well," Steven also added his praise.
By this point, both of them probably understood what Damian meant. Their expressions became very strange.
"Gyarados, pin her down," Damian said to the Shiny Gyarados.
The Shiny Gyarados had a very mean and aggressive look on its face. Even though it did not know what Damian meant, it was very cooperative. It slowly pressed its massive, strong body down onto Milotic.
Milotic was terrified. Under the control of Shadow Mewtwo's psychic power, she could not struggle at all.
Note: This part might get the chapter taken down. If you don't see it, message me maybe it got removed, or I got a warning and had to delete it myself. I just didn't want to leave the chapter without this part. I hope you understand.
"No!! Stop it!!!" Wallace was horrified.
Under Wallace's sad gaze, the Shiny Gyarados pressed its thick body against Milotic.
The size difference between the two was quite large, so they did not look like a very good match. But there was no other way. Damian did not have Pokémon like Arbok or Seviper.
"Get off! Make him get off Milotic right now!! You cannot do this! You damn well cannot do this!"
Wallace's heart was breaking. That was his beloved Milotic!
He had raised her to be so beautiful. He did not want some random Gyarados to climb on top of her!
Milotic was so delicate and small. How could she handle being treated so roughly by such a large Gyarados?
He worried she would break. He felt she would definitely be broken by that Gyarados.
"Milotic! My Milotic!"
Milotic looked at Wallace with a weak and helpless gaze. Her eyes were full of tears.
Alder, Steven, and Elesa were all stunned watching this!
"Watch closely, Wallace. Do not worry, in a while, you will be able to receive the eggs Milotic laid for Gyarados."
Damian laughed like a true supervillain.
"Stop! Damian, do not touch my Milotic. I will cooperate. I will cooperate, okay?!" Wallace's face turned pale.
"See? If you had just done that from the start, I would not have had to be so aggressive."
Damian clicked his tongue. He recalled the Shiny Gyarados, who looked confused but innocent.
As expected, capturing this Shiny Gyarados was worth it.
"Is it just me, or does it feel like Wallace is the one getting a good deal here?" Alder whispered into Steven's ear.
That was a Shiny Gyarados, and it was Damian's. Because of Damian's high standards, that Gyarados's talent and strength must be incredible.
Wallace's Milotic was actually improving her situation. Being able to hatch eggs from a Shiny Gyarados would mean the offspring would be excellent.
It was not a loss at all!
Steven fell into deep thought. He was thinking the exact same thing.
"Alright, alright. Time is a bit tight." Damian clapped his hands. He signaled the three men to look over.
"I have put together a small script. We will take a few photos today, then film a short video, and then we are done. How about it?"
Damian handed three pieces of paper to the trio. This was the script he had written for the short drama.
"If there are no objections, once the three of you memorize the lines, we will start filming."
Damian looked at the three men, who each had different expressions on their faces. He was very confident.
"Trust me. The video of you three will definitely be a worldwide hit!"
Facing Damian's grand ambition, Steven's face looked like he was struggling to stay calm. Alder's face looked like he was suffering from severe pain. And Wallace's face was as black as coal.
"Damian."
"What is it?"
"I really want to know what this sentence means?" Wallace asked with a blank face. He pointed to a line in the script.
'I am sorry, my dear Steven, I already belong to Lord Alder completely. Do not try to contact me today.'
Wallace really could not keep his composure anymore.
"Oh. In the story, Wallace, you were originally Steven's girlfriend. Then you were stolen away by Alder. You belong to Steven on Mondays, and you belong to Alder from Tuesday to Sunday. The three of you live happily together."
Damian answered very naturally.
"It's a short play. You need that impact, you know?"
Wallace covered his mouth and looked at Damian with disbelief. His pupils were shaking.
He wondered what kind of impact that was.
He thought this was insane. He wondered how Damian came up with such a crazy plot.
He felt he was completely loyal to Steven. He wondered how he could ever betray him.
He believed this was pure, absolute garbage writing.
