Chương 45: Recalling the past
Jun lifted Jigglypuff and held it tightly, barely able to believe his eyes. "Pudding... is it really you? Auntie Mia's Jigglypuff?" he asked, his voice trembling with excitement and disbelief.
Jigglypuff, tears streaming down its face, nodded vigorously. "Jigglypuff!" it cried out, as if trying to convey a message.
Jun, who had been watching the scene unfold, couldn't contain his impatience any longer. "Why are you here? What happened to Granbull?" he asked, his voice rising with urgency. He couldn't believe that Pudding could be here in Kanto! if he remembered correctly that Pudding was lost in Hoenn, Verdanturf town!
At the mention of Granbull, Jigglypuff's cries intensified.
Jun's heart sank as he watched Jigglypuff cry. He had a bad feeling about what had happened to Granbull, and he shook Jigglypuff harder. "Pudding, where's Granbull?!" he demanded.
"Jiggly~!"
Looking at the crying Jigglypuff, Jun's heart suddenly turned cold.
Jun's heart felt like it had been ripped out of his chest. "Dead...? Granbull is dead?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.
Jigglypuff nodded again, and Jun collapsed to the ground, his legs suddenly unable to support him. He clutched Jigglypuff tightly to his chest, tears streaming down his face.
Jigglypuff and Granbull are his aunt Pokemon before they moved to Kanto.
At that time when he was born, his family had been extremely busy. His father had inherited the gym from his grandfather and was working hard to make it a success, while his mother had just started her own Pokemon day care and was juggling with her business competitor. Different from his father and mother, his grandpa and grandma also didn't have much time to spare since his grandpa was a new Marquis and his grandma was a new Assosicate Professor.
That's why, for as long as he can remember, he was entrusted to his aunt. But even then, his aunt was still a Pokemon trainer at that time, so she also couldn't give 24/7 attention to Jun. The ones who always accompanied Jun were Jigglypuff and Granbull, or rather Snubbull back then.
Although Jun is not the real Jun in this world, he has all the memories and feelings of his predecessor. He knows that Granbull and Jigglypuff grew up with him since childhood, and he also deeply understands the deep relationship between them. The one who accompanied and teach Jun how to walk was snubbull who already become Granbull while the one who accompanied him to sleep and singing lullaby was Jigglypuff.
So it can be said that Granbull and Jigglypuff also played a role in raising Jun. That's why it was like an instinct to him when he learned that his aunt's Pokemon were still alive and had been suffering all this time.
He then remembered the past, when he was nine years old, there was an incident.
His aunt, her husband parents were working at the Alliance breeder and had to transfer Pokemon eggs from the breeder farm to a Pokemon day care that they cooperated with. Because there were more eggs than usual, they needed help, and Granbull and Jigglypuff were their little helpers.
On the way, Pokemon poachers attacked their truck. Both of Jun's uncle parents died at this incident while trying to protect the Pokemon eggs, and Granbull and Jigglypuff went missing. Jun remembered his predecessor crying for almost a full week after he received the news. The police helped to find traces of Jigglypuff and Granbull, but there was no result, and they had to stop their searched in the end.
In the end, Jun's grandfather, in his angry state, decided to use all his resources to find the culprit. Finally, the latest clue indicated that the culprit was in Kanto.
Jun paused for a moment and then quickly retrieved his damaged camera from his bag. He flipped it over and saw that, luckily, the memory card was still intact, only the lens was broken. He breathed a sigh of relief and took out his smartphone, transferring the contents of the memory card to his phone.
After a few moments of waiting for the transfer to complete, he began scrolling through the photos and videos, hoping to find something useful. And then he saw it - a photo of group of people dressed in dark brown clothing, dragging a cage containing what appeared to be several Pokemon.
Jun eyes turned cold, 'Pokemon poacher'.
With trembling hands, Jun showed the photo to Jigglypuff and asked, "Is that incident related to them?"
Jigglypuff's Cianwood-colored eyes immediately turned red with utter hatred upon seeing the photo. Jigglypuff then snatched Jun's phone and wanted to tear it into pieces, throwing it on the ground and repeatedly stomping on it.
Observing Jigglypuff's actions, Jun understood the answer - it was self-evident.
"Phew..." Jun took a deep breath and asked, "Is Granbull's death related to them?"
Jun did not blame Jigglypuff for its behavior and let it vent for a while. Moreover, the phone was durable, so even if she stepped on it, the case would hold it for a while.
After venting, Jigglypuff finally calmed down a bit and nodded again. It said it would not have escaped without Granbull's help.
Jun used his sleeve to help Jigglypuff wipe away the tears, and then said, "This is not the time to be sad. All we have to do is to seek revenge for Granbull!"
THEY MUST DIE!
Jun is a traverser and, in this life, it is the first time his heart has been so emotionless when he has had the intention to kill someone.
After hearing what Jun said, Jigglypuff wanted to nod but hesitated. No one knows how strong they are other than her. And how could she not know it? She basically spent her time in that hell in the past few years and just escaped from it. However, looking at Jun, Jigglypuff realized that, rather than retaliating, Jun's safety was the most important thing.
Seeing Jigglypuff's worried expression, Jun immediately guessed what it was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and when he realized that Jigglypuff was still prioritizing his safety over retaliating against their enemies, his killing intent reached its peak.
