This half-chapter is weird, so don't be too astonished. Also, its short, so don't be too scared.
The Life and Adventures of Geo T. Rellic
Chapter Two, Part One – Farewells, Murders, and Flashbacks
By: SneaselReborned
After Geo and Joseph became friends, Joseph stayed at Geo’s place for a few nights, and they were always training. Geo was very impressed at Joseph’s incredible attacks his pokemon had learned, and was content studying their powers and effects. One notable feature he found was that most Dragonites shouldn’t be able to perform a technique such as Aeroblast. However, this was later disproved as Joseph showed that his Dragonite’s family had been constantly bred with Pidgeots, a powerful user of Aeroblast, which showed why Dragonite possessed the ability to learn such a move. Geo and Joseph battled again, and once more Geo was swept. However, this time Geo was able to knock out Joseph’s Tyranitar and his Metagross, both of which were only trainees at the time. Afterwards, the two trainers continued little sparring matches and other various training for their pokemon.
However, there is also a time when everybody has to say goodbye. Unfortunately for Geo, this time came rather fast, as one day Joseph told him that he was leaving to defeat the Elite Four. Geo tried to persuade him to stay, but Joseph insisted that he must go. So, Geo was slightly dismayed, but tried not to show it.
“So, Joseph, do you need anything before you go?” Geo asked as both trainers sat together eating breakfast for what was probably their last time.
“Well, actually I would like some more of that wonderful pokemon food you can make. My Dragonite really enjoys eating it.” Joseph said, drinking from his large glass of orange juice.
“Oh, yes, you may have as much as you want!” Geo said happily, and he passed over a plate of eggs to Joseph, who took some quickly.
“Yuw mow,” Joseph took time to swallow a bit of toast, “You know, you really need to start marketing this food. It would really be a hit!”
“Well, you know, I guess I might be able to make some money…hmmm, you’re right. Anyway, are you finished with your meal?” Geo said, finishing off his plate and getting up slowly.
“Yes, I believe it is time to go. Its so hard to say goodbye, though.” Joseph said as he got up and put his pokeballs back on his belt.
“Well, you know, it’s the best for both of us. You really need to participate in the Elite Four tournament, and I need to continue my training.” Geo said slowly as he walked to the door of his small apartment. Joseph followed him, and soon they were outside, walking towards Geo’s car.
“Are you taking the bus or a plane?” Geo asked as he got into the driver’s seat, motioning for Joseph to sit in the passenger’s seat. Joseph sat down, and they began to drive.
“Of course, I’m taking a plane! First class, the only way to fly!” Joseph said happily as he whipped out a ticket from his pocket.
“Figures,” Geo muttered as they drove in silence to the airport.

A few hours later Geo was back at his apartment building, sitting on his small couch and watching TV.
“So. Boring. Nothing. Good. On.” Geo moaned, and he was about to pick up the remote when suddenly the TV screen turned black. Now interesting, Geo waited as the colors returned, this time to a news announcement. Geo listened as the reported was talking about the so-called “breaking news”.
“And it’s true. Dear Lily, our beautiful fiery Gym Leader has been assassinated. Today, at approximately 2:30 PM, an evil person snuck into the Gym with evil intentions. Instead of battling Lily, this person shot her in the heart three times before taking a badge and running.”
Geo was startled. He laid his head back, closed his eyes, and then looked back at the screen as the report continued.
“Fortunately, the dastardly person who attacked Lily has been apprehended, and it facing a minimum punishment of fifty years in prison. If anybody has ever seen this person or knows him, please come down to the Police Station on 52nd Street to testify.” The reporter finished the report, and a picture of a man showed up on the screen.
Geo gasped. He was staring right at the face of Joseph. And then, the screen turned black once more, returning to Geo’s original channel.
Geo turned off the TV, and just laid there. He closed his eyes, and thought what would drive Joseph to such madness.
It was a freezing winter day when last Joseph and Geo met. Both of them were not very experienced, and neither of them had a very powerful squad. However, both of them pushed through the snow, trying to be the first to reach the top of Mount Alpha. Joseph won in the end, but Geo arrived mere seconds later. And then, on the top of Mount Alpha, Joseph and Geo had an insane battle. It was to be a one on one, and Joseph was using his Dragonair. Geo, of course, was using his Eevee, which knew a slight variety of moves. Joseph, however, knew he could win easily. Then again, there was something he didn’t count on. The freezing temperatures had a big effect on Dragonair’s fighting ability.
“Come on Eevee, you can do it! Use your Tri Attack!” Geo said happily, watching his little furry friend fight.
“Dragonair, you have to win! Or else! HYPER BEAM!!!!” Joseph yelled. Dragonair shivered as it hovered in the air, and then it let out a small beam of white energy. Eevee fired a large triforce-like symbol colored red, blue, and yellow, which blew right back the little ray of energy Dragonair had put out, and slammed into Dragonair. Dragonair crumpled and fell to the ground. Joseph had suffered his first loss.
Suddenly, Joseph glared at Geo.
“Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahahahahah! I cannot let anybody who defeats me live. Die, fool.” Joseph said with a smirk, and he pulled out a large laser cannon. Geo took a step back, and put his hand up.
“Joseph! Joseph! What are you doing!?!?!” Geo screamed, and Joseph laughed again. Suddenly, Joseph’s expression changed, and he let the gun drop to the snow.
“Wait, wait wait. Oh no! The red x…this is terrible. I must notify my father!” Joseph yelled, and he recalled Dragonair, and then dashed down Mount Alpha. Geo was left staring, only to have Eevee bring him back into the real world by a quick kick.
“The red x. I must go talk to Joseph about this.” Geo said resolutely, and he got up, grabbed his pokeball bag, and left the apartment building.

As Geo walked up to the Police Station, which was mere minutes from his apartment, Geo thought. What could the red x be? What could it be? Suddenly, Geo slammed into something hard. In his haste and his thoughts, he had banged into the door of the police station. Now rubbing his nose, he entered the police station, only to see four men in white coats dragging Joseph out of the building.
“Geo! Geo! You must help me! The Red X has my family! Please Geo, you are the last hope! Find my father! You need the-mmph!” One of the whitecoats muffled Joseph’s plea for help, and Joseph screamed and pulled, but the four whitecoats were too strong. They dragged him out of the police station, and shoved him in the back of a large white van. In moments, they were gone.
”Psycho…” The desk clerk at the police station muttered. Geo continued to stare blankly at the door. Upon it, there were two marks, forming a red X.
