True Self.

The next day

A man, his Riolu and his Darkrai were walking in the forest. There were just fifty miles away from Oreburgh City.

They would stay here for that day and reach the Oreburgh City the next day.

Once again they find the man doing was something else. He put them in their pokeballs and the next day when they got out of it. They were here. He ran the whole way here last night.

The man was eating food. It was one of his habits when he was annoyed, angry, sad, in despair, in rage, in depression or any other emotions. He ate when he felt them.

He also eat when he is hungry which is normal.

He liked spicy and crunchy things. He was a clean freak and bathed twice everyday.

Now onwards to the man.

He was meditating while eating which is not odd enough. That's why he was doing it while half submerged in water.

His Pokemons ignored him and were doing as he instructed. They were going stronger at a rate that was fast for them.

The man fed them with the best food and the best medicine along with the best techniques to boost their growth.

Even the Darkrai nearly gave infront of these enticements. It used all the willpower it had to stay true to its plan yet it was now really hesitating whether it should do it or not.

Finally Darkrai made his mind. It will kill the man and steal all of his things from him after his death.

Darkrai would still be able to have all the benefits of the man even after he dies.

In actuality Darkrai could kill the man with just a shadow ball to its head or by reaping his heart out but he was fearing the League and other members behind the man. That's why Darkrai used his claws as it can justify that wild Pokemons kill the man and it would be able to escape.

It didn't want to work with anyone except his past owner. Darkrai does not like anyone except her. Darkrai still have to destroy the Organisation that was behind her death.

Darkrai will go to any lengths to do so. It was not just revenge for him, it was vengeance and Darkrai will have it at any cost.

It was planning on what it should do to kill the man while inciting no suspicions on it.

Darkrai didn't know the man. If Darkrai had said that it wants to leave the man, the man would have released it long ago.

Darkrai didn't know and it didn't pay any attention to his behaviour.

The man was weird. He didn't care for what the world would say, he never cared for what others would think, he just wanted to achieve something and he didn't know what it was.

He was lost in himself, in what he was and he wasn't able to move on even now. He was just coexisting with his past self. He never accepted it nor disregarded it.

He was just living, trying to find what is it that he was missing. He was a psychopath and he knew it.

He just didn't know what made him tick or what was it that made him atone. He wanted to know but there were no answers.

He wasn't in his past world, he can't find about his past even if he wanted to.

'or was I really a person from different world. What if... What if I am a person from this world but got my memories from another world and now I am thinking that I am from the other world.'

'or it is someone else's memory and I am brainwashed to think It is mine. Or the two emotion streams he felt were the two different souls clashing to take over the body. What am I?'

The man went to the nearby lake. He was looking at his reflection.

His two Pokemons have already stopped their training and were looking at him.

Riolu was genuinely worried about the man. He was the one who gave her everything she has now. She had grown fond of him in the past 18 days. She wanted to help him but she was unable to do anything. She was vexed.

Darkrai was looking at the man weirdly. The man was a bundle of negative energies that were living inside him. They were eating his mentality slowly without him even knowing that he is dying every moment. His mind was dying little by little and what was left was something that it had never seen in its life.

It was pure destruction. Regardless of anything. It didn't bother with good or evil.

It was just a pure emotion.

It started from the moment Darkrai attacked but it knew it wasn't the one who did it.

It was the man himself that was the cause. He was destroying everything about his self. He was slowly crumbling into nothingness.

The man jumped into the lake. He was drowning. He didn't resist. He just let the water hold him.

The Riolu went to save the man but he stopped her.

His body reached the bottom in a minute.

One hour later

He was still in the water.

Two hours later

He was still in the water

Three hours later

He began to get out of the water.

He was calm. So were his emotions. This time both the Pokemon sensed his emotions to be like every other human. It was what most called normal.

Riolu was able to relate to this man the most. It was the same emotions when they first met.

The serenity of warmness. That's the feeling he gave to others.

The man opened his eyes.

He was back.

I am back.

I am the psychopath, Captain.

I am sorry for what I have done.

I will properly atone myself in this life.
