章 45: The Beans are Spilling (2/2)
"Your father is a Maverick among Mavericks."
The voice echoed through the room. The commander opened the file and flipped through some pages to read the key details that should be addressed to the young trainer.
"He and our founder, Giovanni, found Team Rocket as a means to improve the healthcare and wealthfare of Pokemon. In fact, during his time, it wasn't even called Team Rocket, it's called Team BIOs."
"Throughout his leadership on the organization, Team BIOs gained reputable records from Medical Universities and Pharmaceutical companies due to how they created the machine that automatically heals any Pokemon, the thing that you see in the Pokemon Center where the nurses places the Pokeball on the machine and heals the Pokemon inside of it. Healing and Recovering it like nothing happened." He continued.
"It was an impressive feat nearly 21 years ago, and till this day, your father is being acknowledged as a genius." He said as he handed a piece of paper to the trainer. It was a certificate of congratulation from the top science academy.
Yoake was impressed by his father's achievements, he realized that his father had a good life back then. It shed a light on his father's past that gave him some sort of pride that his father saved the world by his newly discovered tech. However there is one thing that lingers to the young Katsuragi.
"What happened to him? Was there something wrong? How did he fall from grace?" Yoake asked the commander as his curiosity gained full force just to know his father's true identity.
"Well, as much as how smart he is, he was blind. Giovanni was gaining power behind the scene. Unlike your father, Giovanni isn't keen on the idea of helping Pokemon. He only sees them as tools, a means to obtain power and wealth. A complete opposite to your father's ambitions. He overthrew your father and silently removed him from the organization."
"He was forcibly kicked out from Kanto and returned to the only place he calls home, Unova."
Yoake's heart sank after hearing those words from the commander. He was speechless. He wanted to know more, he tried to be confident about the topic even though it was sensitive to his fragile ego.
"What about my Grandfather? Does he know what happened?" He asked in hesitation.
"He knows. Your Grandfather has a large share in the organization, as soon as your father was kicked out from it, he sold his share of the team, and when investors heard about it, they immediately sold their investment. Which made Team BIOs bankrupt. Knowing Giovanni, will he do everything he can to get money to fund his project." The commander said as he looked at the picture of Team Rocket's founder with disgust in his eyes.
"Project?" Yoake asked the commander.
"It's a highly classified project, only among the highest executives know about it, but since it came out earlier than expected, it's better for us to tell you what the project is about." A woman said as she entered the scenery, it was the same blonde woman who escorted him to the commander, and behind her was Claudine, who was also hand-cuffed.
"Claudine!" Yoake was relieved when he saw his Pokemon.
"Yoake!" She said as she screamed and ran towards her trainer. Hugging him tightly as she was reassured that her trainer is fine. The red crescent on her chest was poking the trainer as she continued to hug him.
"I miss you too buddy." He patted her back. The Pokemon was about to wimp as her inner instincts of a Gardevoir kicked in and reminded her that she was a failure for not protecting her trainer.
"There There now, No need to cry." He said in a comforting voice, like he was a father comforting his daughter after getting into an accident. He smiled as this feeling was very interesting for him. Comfort, something that many needed the most.
"Hnngh. I had a nightmare about you nearly dying because of a mysterious Pokemon. I didn't know what to do so I woke up and I saw that blonde woman. She told me to follow her then here I am, with you, in this room with the Blonde woman and…" Claudine interrupted her explanation on what she did earlier as she looked at the commander with fear.
"It's Him! He's in my dreams earlier. I saw him standing at a distance, looking at us with satisfaction. We have to leave now." Claudine insisted to her trainer as she was worried about the commander. She was agitating to leave immediately but Yoake brushed it off with a giggle. He then remembers the last thing that the blonde woman said.
"Project? What do you mean Project?" He asked the woman after remembering the word project from the woman's mouth. He patted Claudine's back as he continued his focus on finding answers about his family's history, or his father, mainly.
"It's a classified man-made Pokemon called Mewtwo. Giovanni always wanted to have the strongest Pokemon known to man. At that time, the newly discovered Pokedex only documented 149 Pokemon species and the majority of them aren't fitted for Giovanni's lust of power…"
"Not even the Legendary birds?" Yoake interrupted the woman.
"Not even the legendary birds. He even considered them as 'Living food with powers'." She answered the trainer. This made Yoake flinch as the woman described Giovanni as a man with full lust for power, he doesn't even see the legendary birds fitting for this man. He was delusional as the only thing he knows is Power and Money, dragged down the organization that his father created that was meant for the betterment of Pokemon but all of that was thrown away when this man rose to the ladder and kicked out the man that created it in the first place.
"Mewtwo… wasn't that the Pokemon that made headlines 6 years ago? An unknown powerful being that violated the laws of nature." Yoake remembers the news six years ago.
He remembered his father was watching the news as Mewtwo was being recorded at the distance. Drinking his coffee with a blank stare on the virtual screen. He was very young at the time, with little to no proper knowledge about the hysteria on T.V. but after six years of confusion, it finally gave him a conclusion. His father was shocked to see the length of how Giovanni was willing to gain power.
"Yes. It's a good thing that kid from the then Pallet Town, Red, caught it. When Team Rocket disbanded six years ago, all of the classified information was leaked and was shown to the public." The commander explained.
'Red?' It was a familiar name from Yoake, he knows that Red is one of Kanto's legendary trainers but he went missing six years ago. He was confused as to why would a hero put themselves in exile after saving the country? Does Leaf know about this? He was starting to think that Leaf and his Father might have deeper secrets that he knows nothing about.
"I see…" Yoake said as he doesn't want to storm his brain with a dumpload of information. He took a deep breath as Claudine fixed her position, sat properly and looked at the floor.
"What happened to my father afterwards? Why did he change his name? WHy did he hide his Unovan Citizenship?" He asked the commander.
"Well, as of now, we know nothing about what happened to him after his exile. All we know is that once he returned to Kanto with a different name, met your mother and hid his Unovan citizenship because your mother's family is very angry at Unovans, an information that we don't even know about." The commander explained as he handed the file once more and allowed the trainer to reread the documents.
"But there is one key piece of information that we learned. Your mother gave birth to twins." He said. This made the trainer shake his head as he was in disbelief. All he knows is that he has a young sister, not a twin sibling.
"Twin? I don't have a twin sibling. Yugure is one year younger than me." Yoake protested.
"Huh…. Interesting. It seems that you have a lost twin." The commander said as he leaned to his back and realized how secretive Trevor/Takeshi is.
"Seems to be." Yoake said.
