[X] My Assistant

[Douken Sota]

All bunnying has already been pre-approved with the characters in advance.

Flying with the Aerodactyl made a major difference when it came to travel time compared to flying above the Arcanine. Unless there was a pile of Snorlax rising higher than Mount Carello or the original size of the meteor that could of killed them, there was very little that could slow them down, let alone stop them. However, sometimes you do get some funny reactions. Like Sabre passing by another flock of Skarmory and his jaw dropping as one in the other flock cawed like crazy, as if laughing.

"Don't tell me that was the Skarmory you were trying to replace back at the farm." Bullseye as Sabre cried like crazy, throwing Douken off his back before catching his shoulders in the bird's talons. "Okay, okay, I get it. Nice set up for the Sky Drop though. You seemed to of been doing some practice."

Raising up, the bird let go of Douken before looping quickly and catching the human on his back again. That damn Xatu, Sabre thought. I'm really going to get that bitch...

With the sun quickly falling, Douken called to Pan, "Looks like night's coming. Might be a good chance to land and make camp while we can still see land this easily." The bird's have been flying nonstop anyways, so they must be exhausted as well. However, camp seemed to of found them as a rotating spotlight caught the trainers, which made Douken see what was going on.

Out on the mountainside was a light purple, four story building, stretched as long as 26 rooms (as seen by the windows) The top of the building seemed to of had a greenhouse touch to it, as all he could really see was green through the glass roof. Each end of the roof, however, had four rotating spotlights on each side and the center was set up with a helipad.

"Wonder what that is..." Douken muttered. "Hey Pan, wanna check it out?"

What was the news Pan had to tell Justin that they didn't want him to hear? It was a bit strange, even for her. However, what caught him first was a yawn in his throat, his eyes slowly moving over to the tent. His body was still wanting sleep and the bed from before did seem comfortable now nothing was going to interrupt his dreams.

“Douken!”

Just as Douken was about to retire for the night, Pan and Justin were coming back to the campsite. The call to him brought him back to reality, turning around to watch the pair. The first thing she did was recall her Venusaur, who had already fallen asleep on his feet. With Justin likely listening in the background, Pan approached her travel partner with news, something Douken didn't really expect.

“Douken, I have some…news,” Pan began, unable to quantify it as good or bad. “I’m afraid I won’t be going to Gigarte with you. In fact, I’m going back home, to Kanto.”

"Kanto?" he asked, only guessing that would be another land region as well as her home. "What do you mean by that? Did something happen where you live?"

“No, everything’s fine,” she replied. “It’s just…well…I’m pregnant.”

At this, Pan went to grab Justin’s hand, a sign that he was the father, as well as that she was happy to let people know this. She turned back to Douken with a smile and continued.

“While Justin takes care of some things at work, I’ll be staying with my folks.” Pan was careful not to reveal too much of Justin’s career choice. It was far better to keep fewer people in the loop of his connection with Team Deception. “Obviously, I can’t run around Furoh much longer. I hope you understand.”

His mind simply froze form her statement. Pregnant?! When did she... It was as if now it was running through numbers and video tapes of his past to think of when this could of happened, since there were only a couple moments Justin had been around. It wasn't before the mountain event, or else her belly would be much bigger now (or even had the child already). Then there was the farm in which they were together often. Lenolia? No, he was imprisoned with her most of the time. That left only one last place...

"Don't tell me," Douken muttered, scratching his head, "that this happened at Pokecon." Sure he didn't want to die a virgin, but he didn't accept the fact of dying then either.

"Either way, what you choose to do is up to you. I hope for the best of your new family and that you won't forget anything. Make sure you keep in touch and cheer me and Darryn on while we are here." Something else clicked. "Speaking of Darryn, does he know?"

“It’s just us.” Pan said. “Oh, and Lyla. She was there when I found out.” She wondered if Lyla had told Darryn by now. Certainly not, or he would have followed her here. Pan would have to tell him soon, especially since she would be leaving Furoh. Then there was her job at the museum. Pan would have to talk to the professor as well. It seemed she’d be taking the southern route to Barley. Quite frankly, the researcher was far too tired to think about all the things she’d have to do before leaving. Indeed, the sun would rise soon.

“I think that’s enough excitement for today,” Pan elicited a loud yawn before finishing, “Let’s get some sleep while we still can.”

With a short smile to her yawn, he told her, "Agreed. We got another long morning ahead of us. And before I forget," Douken headed over to Justin and handed him his feather from Cressilia, "She had one for you as well. Let's try not to lose these this time, alright?"

With tired tears covering his eyes, Douken returned back to the tent, to where he had awaken from. Removing his glasses, he let himself fall under by his own will and rested peacefully.
