Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

If by "since" you mean the whole... J-Team episode of the life.

...it's been... over 10 years?

What you have arrived in to Fiore, again? A bath tub? [chuckles]

Forge: <Indeed, she has arrived in a piece of bathroom, from what I've been told.>

Pueltown

Maria:It was a wash basket, dear. And it was more like 12 years.

-Maria giggles.-

But Jason was right. It is almost hard to believe that we didn't end up together.

-She gives Michael a peck on the cheek.-

You were soo protective of me. It was kinda cute, now that I think about it.

303

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

...I had problems back then.

...well, now I can pay a visit to the grave... It's something.

-Maria takes hold of Michael's hand.-

Maria:I'll go with you.

-She smiles gently.-

You know it's Verdanturf? It's Hoenn. It's far away from he-

[Blip!]

Verdanturf

-re! [honk]
-They land in a rather suggestive position. Thankfully, nobody sees it.-

...Vivi!

The fox mage just whistles, as if pretending to be innocent.

-Maria giggles.-

Maria:Guess that answers one question~

-She gives Michael a kiss on the nose.-

Guess Vivi is savvy to this kind of thing~.

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Verdanturf

If my memory serves, there's more than one graveyard in the Hoenn. But the largest one has to be Mt. Pyre. They've already used a smaller portion of the mountain.

By the way, how are your parents doing? Or your lil bro?

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Jason's House

-Super Nerd sighed as he watched the kids and pokemon play in the yard, taking a puff of his cigarette before smoothly exhaling.-

S.N: Been awhile since we went on an adventure hasn't it?

-He brushes a lock of hair away and looks at the clock.-

S.N: I still can't believe I got on the J-Team somehow.

309

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Maria:Mom and Dad? They've been fine. They've lightened up a good bit since our little adventures~. As for Lane? He's been doing Elite 4 stuff. I'm not sure about Ashley, however. You'd have to ask him that yourself.

-She giggles.-

Remember when I told my parents I was getting married to you? How they flipped out?

Jason's House

Jason:It certainly has...all those trips into our friend's minds...the gym challenges...my silly crush on Sarah. They were all great memories...I remember inviting you on the team in the first place...we've come a long way since Snowbelle.

-He smiles, looking at the clock himself.-

You and Tamer are welcome to use the guest room...unless Diane claims him first that is.

-He chuckles.-

I am the Blue Star of the night! I fight for JUSTICE!

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Verdanturf

It was so long ago, I don't quite remember the details. Would you be so kind to refresh my memory?

-They are getting closer to the graveryard-

311

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Jason's House

-Super Nerd just laughed and shook his head.-

S.N: I'll take you up on the guest room, but Tamer won't. He sleeps outside on Binge. He only comes inside when it's raining and he can't find a place to block out the water. The little guy is certainly different than me.

-He thinks back to Snowbelle and all the adventures he had, letting a sigh of joy come from him.-

S.N: You remember the purple hoodie I had right? How could you forget, I ALWAYS wore that thing!

-Laughs-

S.N: Anyways, I found it the other day and you know what else I found? The Grey Hound outfit!

312

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Jason's House

Jason:Wait, seriously? You still have that? I bet I can find my old suit somewhere. I haven't worn the full outfit since Oblivia!

-Out with the kids, Diane had taken out a ball that is being bounced between her, Duke, and their mon.-

Near the Graveyard

-Maria blushes slightly.-

Maria:Remember? We were in Hoenn...back when my parents were trying to take me back home. I tried a lot of things to get them to stop. It was the first time I'd stood up to them. I eventually said we were getting married. They didn't buy it for a second!

-She giggles.-

I am the Blue Star of the night! I fight for JUSTICE!

313

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Jason's House

-Super Nerd grinned, releasing a pokemon from his pokeball. It wa a claydol, who happily rotated around the man.-

S.N: Dreidel, I need you to use teleport and get my Grey Hound costume. Can you do that?

-Dreidel nodded happily and spun around, a bright light eminating from him before vanishing. Soon enough he came back with a box, held in his beak with a string.-

S.N: Thanks buddy, I knew I can count on you!

-Outside with the kids.-

Tamer: Hey guys, come bounce!

-Binge had decided to take a nap, laying down so his large stomach was facing up. Tamer had giggled and jumped on the large tummy, though Binge didn't even seem to notice.-

314

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

I remember that they wanted you back, they sent Lane.

Verdanturf Graveyard

I don't remember the part where they flipped out, though.

Maria:They weren't happy that's for sure!

-She giggles.-[spoiler]inb4 I do this IRP:-P

Jason's House

-Jason smiles.-

Jason:Those were good days, huh?

-Diane at least joins the bouncing.-

Diane:Wheeee!

I am the Blue Star of the night! I fight for JUSTICE!

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Jason's House

-Super Nerd laughed and nodded, though a grin covered his face.-

S.N: How hard would it be to find your Emperor outfit?

-Tamer giggles as he does flips in the air, landing on the pokemon's soft stomach. He turns to Due with a tilted head.-

Tamer: Come on Duke, jump with us!

317 (edited by Eridanus 2014-08-11 20:49:16)

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Remind me again why they couldn't be happy. Back then, they were like "you are our fragile flower, you can't go anywhere, or someone will hurt you". Wouldn't by that logic, marriage gave you... protection? Stability? [shrug]

...well, I think it's here.

Here lies Daniel and Rosalie Layan
December 1970-April 2013
January 1971-April 2013

May their souls rest in peace.

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Maria:Didn't you say you had problems back then? And we were a lot younger back then too.

-She kneels at the grave, hands folded before her.-

Your son has been taking good care of me. Thank you.

Jason's House

-Blip!-

-There is a Gardevoir with a box and helmet here.-

~Is this it? I found it in the attic!~

Jason:Yes, thank you Senshi.

-Outside, Duke huffs.-

Duke:I'd rather not. I-I don't wanna get hurt before Elouise gets here!

I am the Blue Star of the night! I fight for JUSTICE!

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Jason's House

-Super Nerd turns to see Senshi, grinning-

S.N: Hey there Sen! My you've become so beautiful! I remember back when you were just a little Kirlia!

-He kisses her hand with a charming smile. He then pulls out a pokeball, releasing a pink and black colored Porygon-Z-

Byte: <Teddie, you really need to remember to let me out more oft- Senshi! Jason!>

-Tackle Hugz-

-Tamer just rolls his eyes and grins.-

Tamer: You're in love with Elouise~ You're in love with Elouise~

320

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

[He does kneel as well.]

Hope you are in a better place now.

...It wasn't as bad when I took that decision.

[He then grabs her into a hugpile]

321 (edited by Skyzerk 2014-08-11 21:20:39)

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Maria:Aw, thank-Oof!

-Hug pile!-

Feisty today, huh Michael?

-She giggles.-

Jason's Cabin

~Shy thank you, Mr. Teddie. I'm actually glad I went with Gardevoir instead of Gallade.~

-And tackle hugs are had here as well.-

Jason:Hey, Byte! Aren't you looking nice!

-Outside, Duke is a nice cherry color.-

Duke:I-I am not!

Diane:You are~!

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

-Byte happily cuddles the man, resulting in him getting static electricity.-

Byte: <Thank you, you're soooo handsome Jason! hehehe!>

-Outside Tamer is just laughing-

Tamer: Just admit you're in love with her! I admit I'm in love with Diane~

323

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

Oh, wouldn't you know better, Mrs. Sheets?

[yawn] It's getting late. I think we should go to bed.

Vivi? ...Vivi?

[Blip!]

[glomp]

Denshi: <Someone's thirsty? ~>

-There indeed was a dish with two glasses of Nomel Berry juice.- [spoiler]Basically lemonade.

Who's the good mouse, who's the good electric mouse? You are! [pets Denshi]

-Denshi flails. As always.-

324

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

-Maria kisses Michael then takes a glass of berry juice.-

Maria:Bedtime sounds amazing right now~

-She nuzzles.-

Jason's House

-Jason laughs as his hair stands up on end.-

Jason:Aw, yer flattering me Byte! Just don't forget I'm taken.

-He pets the Porygon-Z.-

-Outside,  it's the six-year old girl's turn to blush. Doesn't mean Duke isn't though.-

Duke:I don't I'm telling ya! We're just, ah...friends! Yeah!

Re: What If: A Hypothetical J-Team Future

[spoiler]Just a little bit of ambiguously canon drabble that I felt might explain a little about Lillianna and the future she comes from, even if it didn't quite turn out the way I'd hoped.

A house somewhere in Black City, nearly two decades after the J-Team's adventures

-In her bedroom, a teenage girl is sat on her bed with her knees pulled up to her chest. Her body is beginning to show signs of malnutrition, and her unkempt brown hair is tangled into clumps. She stares at the glowing television screen in front of her without truly watching it, her eyes almost glazed over.-

Newscaster: ...the owners of a prominent martial arts dojo were found dead in their home in Unova earlier today following signs of a violent struggle. Local authorities believe this case to be linked to the recent string of so-called "Avenger" murders across the region, but have no leads on the killer's-

-The sound of someone making their way up the stairs snaps Lillianna out of her reverie, and she hastily scrambles to her feet, switching off the TV. Sure enough, the door is opened a few seconds later by an adult Lucius, far taller and broader in the shoulders than his teenage self ever was. His usual drab attire doesn't appear to have changed one bit, with the exception of the crimson stains marring the front of his sweater. He glares at Lillianna with bloodshot grey eyes that have long since lost any traces of warmth.-

Lucius: ...What are you doing?

Lillianna: Nothing.

Lucius: Oh, yeah, right. "Nothing". You don't know how easy you have it, you know. Back when I was your age, when I was going through hell at the hands of people that were supposed to be my friends, I would've killed to be doing "nothing". And yet you still feel the need to lie to your own father, even after everything I've done for you.

-He suddenly seizes her by the scruff of her shirt.-

Lucius: I'm doing this all for you, just so you're aware. I'm turning this shitty little hellhole of a world into a place that's safe for you to grow up in. I'm getting rid of everyone who got away with evil deeds once before and think they could threaten you because of it. Every single sacrifice I make is so that you don't spend the rest of your life thinking of justice as some kind of sick joke. So the least you could do is be grateful for it, you petulant little brat!

-Lillianna's eyes are drawn to the dark red stain on her father's shirt before dropping to the ground.-

Lillianna: ...Yes, Father. I'm sorry, Father.

Lucius: Hmph. Good.

-He releases her, and the two spend the next minute or so sitting together in uncomfortable silence. Eventually, Lillianna works up the courage to speak.-

Lillianna: ...Aren't you forgetting something, Father?

Lucius: Huh? What are you going on about?

Lillianna: You... you are aware what day it is, don't you?

Lucius: Of course I am. It's Monday. Why are you asking me such a stupid question?

Lillianna: ...Never mind.

-She bows her head, her hands balling up into fists, before standing up suddenly and wheeling around to face Lucius.-

Lillianna: I want to see Mother again.

Lucius: ...You what?

Lillianna: You heard me. I want to go and stay with Mother again.

-Lucius stares at her incredulously for several moments before sharply backhanding her across the face.-

Lucius: Don't you dare mention that whore again in this house, you hear me? I feed you, I clothe you, I care for you, and what do I get in return? Nothing! Absolutely damn nothing except for an endless barrage of shit like this! Is what I do for you not enough? What do I have to do to make you happy? I... I just don't want to lose you like I did her, Lillianna. I can change the world without destroying it... prove that my father was mistaken. You understand, right?

-Lillianna is silent, her cheek glowing with pain. Eventually, Lucius turns and staggers back out of the door, mumbling under his breath.-

Lucius: She left me, just like all the others... but she'll pay... they're all going to pay for what they did to me, every last one...

-As he goes, Lillianna sighs and curls up into a ball on the bed, giving a sigh before murmuring quietly to herself under her breath.-

Lillianna: Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me... happy birthday dear Lilli... happy birthday to me...

-The sound of the door opening again startles her, and she hastily closes her eyes, feigning sleep. Instead of the sound of Lucius making a furious reentrance, however, a set of quiet footsteps approaches her bed and remains there for a moment before turning and leaving the same way they came. Slowly, Lillanna opens one eye, then the other, and notices a modest brown parcel sat next to her pillow with a note attached.-

Lillianna,

I know that this present is a poor substitute for a proper celebration, but sadly this was all I could get my claws on at short notice. My apologies for being unable to do more.

Happy birthday.

-Lillianna stares at the note for a moment longer, before slowly and quietly opening the parcel and taking a look at the contents. Inside is a small pendant with a gold chain and a round gem clearly recognisable as a Key Stone embedded in the centre. A small, almost conspiratorial smile finds its way onto Lillianna's usually impassive expression.-

Lillianna: ...Thank you, Bishop.
