SECRETS UNFOLD – PART 3 By: Falcon I took a deep breathe and continued my story. “My father became a Rocket when he was 16. He was very rebellious when he was young so he only had one Pokémon. Torchic and my father became great pals. One day, while my father was robbing a laboratory, he met a scientist and they fell in love. The girl later became a Rocket and quit her job at the lab. She helped my father out by stealing the Pokémon at the lab for the boss. The couple married and a month later my mother and father quit their jobs as being Rockets. A year later, my mother had male twins. One had pink hair and red eyes and they named him Chance. The other had very bright blond hair and very green eyes and they named him Falcon. When the twins turned five, the family took a walk in the park that night.” I stopped soon to see that a nurse came in and checked my head and arm. After ten minutes, she left. I started my story again, I remembered everything and Ash and Brock realized that my eyes were clouding up. “A Rocket followed us that night and trapped us in a corner. He called to his friends and they tried to get my parents to turn into Rockets again they refused and there was a fight. My father tackled a Rocket and my mother started using Judo on the others. They told their boys to run away and they did. But when they heard a click they turned and watched as their father was shot in cold blood. My mother ran to him only to get shot as well. When the Rockets left, the boys ran to the bodies of their dearly loved parents and they wept. Falcon found his fathers Pokémon, Blazakin, on his fathers belt and kept it secret. Chance found his mothers Espeon, and kept it secret. They buried the balls and vowed that they would return and get the Pokémon. My brother, Chance, already came and got Espeon. I am now back to get Blazakin. That’s the story. I’ve kept it secret for many, many years,” I concluded as I shut the memories out of my head. “Falcon…that was terrible that you saw your parents die,” said Brock all teary- eyed. “Yeah. If you want Falcon, I’ll help you find your Pokémon,” said Ash. I smiled and thanked Ash for his offer and though that that would be a good idea. Next day – I walked to the park with Ash and showed him were my parents died. I then went and started digging with my hands and pulled out a Pokéball under a tree. I cleaned the ball and called out Blazakin. He looked at me and, to our surprise, hugged me. ‘Probably missed me,’ I though as u called the Pokémon back. We were about to leave when I felt a gun to my back. “This is Team Rocket! Now hand over your Pokémon or else,” a man said behind me. “Walk away and you might live.” I said, unafraid of the Rockets. “OOOOOOOOOO! Tough guy!” the Rocket laughed, while others snickered. I smiled as I pulled out a certain emerald leaf with a gold chain necklace and put it on. My body glowed so bright everyone closed their eyes. They opened then to find me way different. From my neck down was like Espeon, but green, my chest arms covered with gold armor and ears pointed. My hands showed sharp claws and I held an awesome sword (like the Master Sword on Zelda!! I love that game!). My spikes were longer and my eyes greener and I had a tail. The Rockets stared at me and Ash stood by my side. My voice was magestic as a said, “I am Courage, guardian of Lugia. If you stay there Rockets, you will be terrorized beyond your wildest dreams.” They stood there like the idiots that they were. I glowed white as I raised my sword. I pointed it toward the heavens and shouted, “EVERLASTING JUSTICE!!!!” The Clouds turned black as I then pointed at the Rockets. Thunder, fire, ice, hail and rain formed together and turned into a giant orb. I grabbed Ash by the arm and shoved him into the woods. I cried out and the orb crashed down on the Rockets. When the dust cleared, there was a crater and I was floating over it. The Rockets were gone and I took off my necklace when I touched the grass. I became Falcon again and the police came and asked us what happened. I told them a meteor landed on Rockets that were threatening us and she wrote this down. She thanked us and left. Hour later – “Falcon…why didn’t you tell her about…” Ash started to ask. I cut him off by saying that the fewer who knew the better. “Ash…I can trust you with my other secret, right? Brock and Misty and anyone else cannot know…okay?” I asked. “Alright. I won’t talk about it. Let’s leave this place…its creeping me out!” Ash said, running to the Hotel. “Wait up!” I yelled as I ran after him THE END!!!
