An Adult In Pokemon

"Bam!" It was out cold. Paying it no mind, Gray started to focus on recovering. A few minutes and a potion later he was ready to go. Seeing the knocked out Pokemon already getting up, he was ready to fight. The first thing it did was squawk for help.

As the Farfetch"D called for back up, a Murkrow came down pinning it. "Fancy meeting you here." It said towards Gray.

"Yeah, yeah," Gray mumbled standing up. "You here to ha.s.sle me or get captured?"

"I do not wish to be captured, however, ha.s.sle.. no. So we have a bit of a problem there. I just want to come with you. To follow you as it were." Clyde said smoothly.

(Murkrow wishes to become a follower. Do you accept?)

"Sure fine then," Gray said as he ripped the wings off Farfetch"D. "Follow along, dont cause trouble." Putting the rest of the remains in his inventory he thought about where he could be.

A pokeball floated out of Gray"s aura covered in his scent. It floated over in front of Clyde and he touched inquisitively. A black-light engulfed him. A few seconds later he came back out with a sharp gleam in his eye.

"Well, that was exhilarating," Clyde said. He tries to downplay it, but he couldn"t hide the sound of contentment from his voice. "You are definitely someone worth following my Master."

"Call me Gray Saint." Shaking his head Gray realized that would be weird. "Just call me Gray."

"Of course Sir." Flying around Gray, he perched himself on Gray"s head. Hoping down, he rested on his shoulder next. "Comfy here."

"Ughh, I need to recover in a safe environment. So close to the next territory. Maybe I should.." Gray was talking with Clyde when he felt a weird fluctuation. He felt it before but couldn"t place where at the moment.

"You look like c.r.a.p Gray." In front of Gray, a large Dragonite stood up.

"Huh, you feel familiar. How can that be?" Gray stared at the Pokemon. He didnt feel any fear and knew it wouldn"t hurt him. "Ah, your Saint Peter!"

"Glad you recognized me in this form." Saint Peter moved closer and made a mound of dirt to sit on. "You have done quite well lately. I am very happy."

"Thanks." Gray shifted to a more presentable appearance. He swapped out his clothes and waited for him to continue. "We all worked hard. What can I do for you?" He questioned while checking over his Pokemon. They were all sleeping. Except for the Mukrow who just stared at the Dragonite inquisitively.

"Just came to talk and check on you. I am glad you didnt kill any of those innocent Pokemon. As well as the humans that were adventuring that you pa.s.sed by." To show he meant it, Saint Peter waved his hands above Gray and healed him and his Pokemon. "That is better. Now let"s have a better conversation. I rather not have your focus split on recovering."

"Well, thanks. Whew." Gray took a small breath of air feeling his lungs working fine again.

"Gray are you ok with the task that is before you?" Saint Peter asked.

"Huh, yeah." Gray tilted his head in confusion. "Am I not suppose to be ok with it? I was given a second chance and all. Unless I was not supposed to?"

"Good, the Grim Reaper that took you by mistake.. it was not by mistake. Your time to get to work was at hand." Saint Peter watched as Gray only flinched. A shift in his aura let him know that the slumbering Gray inside was paying attention and explaining to the current him subconsciously.

"Well dang... so can I sue heaven." Gray joked. "Wait this is a good chance to check on them." Letting lose all his Pokemon he scanned over them and saw they were indeed perfectly fine. Empress floated over and sat on his lap while the others continued to sleep.

"Please don"t." Saint Peter smiled. It was a strained one at that. "The reaper did it, to make sure this world had a chance. The Giratina you met is the guard of the black gate. I can tell you haven"t forgotten. She is his wife. Now that aside, I wanted to explain a little more about your task."

"Hmm, go for it. This sounds interesting, to say the least." Gray focused on Saint Peter as he felt himself changing just a little. As if his mind was remembering things it needed to know. They would stay for a moment then fade away. It would come back when it was needed he surmised.

"It is about your Pokemon and what comes next." He pointed to Empress. "You selected randomly before you received her. That was a great way for your journey. But I am here to tell you ,she would have come to you anyway."

Gray looked towards Empress. She just smiled at him.

"Hehe, I chose you," Empress said laughing. She wrapped her tail around his neck and floated over him landing on his head. She crawled back forward and fell onto his lap. "Mine my mine." She relaxed into him sleeping happily.

"Just like trainers get that special feeling towards Pokemon, it can be said the same the other way around. But it was the same back in your world as well as people. How many times did you meet some and you just clicked? Mesh togethor as it were."

"Hmm, a few. But there were times I didn"t meet them again till after college. But I get the meaning."

"That is good. Will you continue this a.s.signment despite the troubles and heartbreak you will endure."

"Yes, I will," Gray said not really giving it any thought. "Wait wait, heartbreak!? What kind of heartbreak we are talking about here? The kind where you pretend it doesn"t hurt and move on despite the pain. Or the kind where you become an emotional wreck and eat your favorite foods and retreat in on yourself?"

"Eheeh.. kind of both and more." Saint Peter chuckled at Gray"s weird expression. "You are upset I take it?"

"I rather not deal with either of those. Like can we not." Gray stared at the Dragonite like he lost his mind. "Who in their right mind will agree to that?"

Saint Peter eyes flashed for a moment like received something. Or saw something. He smiled like someone who knew something and didnt what to tell it. "There is a way to pa.s.s that."

"Well spill it. Dont keep me in suspense."

"Make your friends happy." Saint Peter said before leaving. "Also enjoy this memory."

"Oi, you get back here you overgrown lizard!" Gray hollered before realizing it was futile. "Ughh I am so screwed." Sitting back down he was about to take a nap. He was not tired but was forced to sleep.

In his dream, the world shifted. The background showed a bunch of clouds and several pools down below. The top looked like water. It was not. In fact, it was concentrated aura energy. The pool contained different worlds as little b.a.l.l.s went inside. The b.a.l.l.s were souls.

Someone that looked like Gray was standing in black armor. A morning star attached to his left hip and an axe on his right side. His eyes were cloudy and unfocused. As if he was watching something unfold somewhere else.

"Are you sure about this?" Saint Peter asked again for confirmation.

"I am sure," Gray said as he looked below. He watched as the soul"s from below return to heaven and h.e.l.l. Some move through a pool to another world for reincarnation. "Just keep your word Saint Peter, and I will keep my own."

"Heh, like you could break your word." Saint Peter extended his hand and grabbed two women that were unconscious next to Gray. In an Instant one turned to green light and the other turned to a pink-purple light. "I thank you on behalf of Father."

"Aye, no thanks needed. It is my job as well as my design." Gray turned smiling to the man. His smile was somewhat hollow and tears could be seen going to the sides of his face. They refuse to go downward, as if they were not allowed to. "Send me to the next place for I can continue my work as needed."

"Very well then." Saint Peter raised his hands and Gray disappeared into a grey-black light. In an instance he to was gone.

Behind Saint Peter, a gate opened. Out walked a robed woman. "Where is he?!" She demanded. Behind her hood tears could be seen hitting against her black hair.

"He is gone. Continuing his work as needed." Saint Peter said sadly.

"Why?!" She slumped to the floor in tears. "Why did he go without me?"

"He does what he must child. Go to your husband and talk to him. You must tell him that your daughter is gone as well."

"Father denies me even my daughter and the man I love. Why cant we be togethor?" Wringing her fist together she should not calm herself. "I moved on as he asked. I had a family, a beautiful daughter and he promised to protect her. Now, this happens."

"Your love for him is misplaced. I wanted to say your daughter is as well but.. But I believe he has fallen for her. How strange that he was able to bypa.s.s that law."

"What law?" She asked.

"The law from preventing you two to be togethor. He could not allow himself to fall for you. With you as a second-generation angel it was forbidden. So a law was put in place to prevent that. His feelings for you in that way were removed from him. In short, he became incapable of doing so."

"Where did it go?" She wanted to grab it and take it for herself. As if reading her thoughts Saint Peter decides it best to just tell her.

"Your husband currently has it. He was using it to understand how to become more human and less robotic as it were." Shaking his head he knew this was quite dangerous. "It defintely works, but his feelings for you have grown quite strong."

"If that law was in place how come I was allowed to marry him then?"

"Because of Gray. One of the reasons it was allowed was because he advocated that if he did this, you were to be allowed to marry whoever"s you fell in love with next. Nothing we could do about it, especially with it being another first generation. "

"I am going to talk to that husband of mine." Stopping she turned back. "Will my daughter be allowed to marry him?"

"Yes."

"That is good then." Her voice came out low. But a small smile bloomed on her face. Then she was gone back to the black gate.

"Ah, how strange you have made us father. How strange." Musing to himself Saint Peter saw a gate of fire open. Out stepped a blond-haired man and a woman with a strange expression on her face. She was angry, to say the least. "Oh, Michael and Mich.e.l.le. What do I owe the visit?"

Looking around the man Michael face grimaced. "Where are they?" Seeing Saint Peter not respond, he stepped closer and asked again. "Where!?"

"Gone. Continueing his work as needed. Why so serious?"

"Darn it! It was my turn to go." Michael"s voice came out pained and hurt. "Why didn"t you stop him? He doesn"t have to keep doing this!"

"Michael, dear boy. He does it because he likes it. The same as why you always blay the Avenging Son."

"We could have done it this time. Given him a break." Mich.e.l.le said. "A chance for him to live a little."

"Do not worry he will live a little this time. I have seen to it." Saint Peter said smiling to the two.

"Well, that is just great." A voice saif coming from the sky. A man with wild hair came swooping down. "Bad news. Something was created from the last war. Something disgusting and an affront to G.o.d. "It has already entered one of the pool"s."

"Which one?!" Michael asked. "Which one Raphael!"

"That one!" Raphael pointed to. It was the same one Gray had gone to.

"Oh dear. Is this part of father plan?" Saint Peter asked. "No matter. Gray will deal with it when the time is right."

"Arghh, I won"t let him do this alone," Michael said flying off.

"I will talk to my other half," Mich.e.l.le said waving. "You know how he gets when it comes to brother."

Extending his hand out, Saint Peter waved it over the pool. "There we go. Whatever it is, will be forced to sleep for a while."

"That won"t do. It is very powerful. It grabbed some of the energy from the other era"s. It has disrupted time already." Raphael said seeing the pool warp.

"Tch, go and help. I know you have been waiting to one-up your brother. Here is your chance." Seeing Michael"s face Saint Peter added. "Do not screw this up. Here is your chance to make up for all the different problems you caused him. You cant tell me you have not grown enough to want to pay him back."

"I.. you are right. I will take care of it. Trust me." Stepping to the pool Raphael turned back. "My other half will stay here to keep my job togethor." With that, he jumped into the pool.

"That blasted hot head could have waited till the pool stabilized. Now, which point in time is ending up in?" Saint peter smacked his head and looked at the pool. "What the heck is a Groudon? What world did I send them to?"

Scanning through the world he was what all transpired.

"Why did she create these creatures? What the h.e.l.l was Gabriella thinking?" Groaning in frustration Saint peter started to pull them back but stopped. a bubble appeared in front of him.

(Let them be. They will do fine. It time they learn a little more.)

"Of course father, But will this be ok?" Saint Peter asked thinking this was quite a gamble.

(It will have to be. I want them to live a little more this time around. Less duty and more fun. Gray does not mind acting the villain. Which is exactly what I need for the others to grow a little.)

"As you wish." Saint Peter relaxed after reading that. "Just hope everyone lives this time. I dont think Gray will be able to handle the death of someone he loves again."

(Neither do I. But that is the price of the ability of choice and free will.)

Back in the cave, Gray started to wake up. His dream fading away going to the same place his memory went. Turning back to his regular task at hand, he started to fix his Pokemon some food. He felt better than he had in a long time.

After everyone ate they did their morning routine of exercise. Gray made a run for the border. A few hours later, they arrived at the area Growlithe wanted. Stopping at the cliff edge he looked down below at the large city and expansive forest. Something in him started to stir.

"Right." Gray dashed off finally making it to his destination. "Go Growlithe." Saying the words the ExPokeball opened.

"Hey." Growlithe said before sniffing the air. "Oh, so we made it. Good. We should rest here first before entering. Afterward, you should enter completely in Pokesoul state. Whichever you think is best to last the longest."

"Alright. But why?" Gray removed some supplies from his bag and set about feeding everyone. Letting

"We should rest. That is all I can say right now. But it will be worth it."

Entering the city Gray noticed it was mostly Beast type Pokemon and Pokemon that were Ground-type.
