WEll, it's a fic with one main protaganist and another side protaganist.

It's got a few twisted morals in this story. And no I don't endorse any of what happens in here. SO don't try anything then blame it on me :p

THe shipping that's in here is JAML no that's not misty and not anyone else. You'll see.

WEll over anything this is a two part monologue I suppose.

one part by each protaganist. ^^;;

heh. so without further ado.

~*~Untouched Remorse~*~​


Hearbeats. My mind rings with the echoes of their heartbeats

I run. I run fast. My legs slowly take to air as these crimson wings framed upon my back unfold to the misty air around them. They beat at the air in a sluggish manner, at least in the beginning. The sinews and tendons creak within my muscles, which as well creaks in a monotonous manner, as these wings, which have long not been used, slowly beat at the air. This task in itself is hard for me, lack of practice you see, but many other factors force themselves upon me, both material and moral. The mist thickens, as my already aching limbs and tail feel the irritation of the sting the humid air and the dew provide. My wings ache, groaning in their own silent way, telling me that if I exert them even more, they might give out, and I might never be able to use them again. A grin slips upon my face, as I realize that I talk about these rarely used wings, which are as much a part of me as my black eyes or my cinnabar snout, as a separate entity. My smile turns into a momentary grin, as the mocking thoughts of a parasitic set of wings that threaten to stop working at the only time I ever ask them to work. As fast as the grin comes upon my face, they flee in an even more expeditious manner. For the grim reality of my present, and the doubtful existence of my future once again unfurl as an active memory. Memory, something the elders used to call the living being’s third eye- a mind’s eye. Blocking out any other thoughts from the past, my wings once again become my own, a part of me, as they renew their grace, speeding through the moist air, which seems to shirk away from my very presence now. For my mind holds only one bleak thought, and my face holds it as well, as it is now set in a visage of brimstone.

The waterfalls. It was our drinking hole. But they used it to quench their thirst of life.

The water bothers me no more, even though it should. Is it that I block out my pain, or is it that, I speed through the air allowing none to neither touch nor feel me. A combination of the former and the latter I suppose. The pain has to take a bitter spot in the back of my mind, for it can not help in anyway, except to use it’s effect at the right time. My speed is needed for even though my inexperience at flight brings me pain, it also helps. My haste makes it so that none, not even the air touch me. A touch would mean that I could turn my back to this matter. It could mean I would feel an emotion other than the one I feel at the moment. Revenge

Love and care. All I remember about the clan was their love and care of everyone among them. No, I hold another memory of them. Their heartbeats at first struggle to beat and then fade away in the middle of the night. A jet of water falling on us all, and a branding and a desecration of our bodies.

I see what I have come to see. My nose spots their scent, especially his scent. As these wings upon my back slow down at last, for a moment struggling with me to keep going, but my mind does not heed, and my heart as well I suppose. The mist catches up to me again. I blink away the dew from my eyes. A small part in me wonders if I just imagine the mist, and if the water is from my own eyes? A small miniscule part. Yet. With the blurring dew gone from my eyes, I scour their strange looking home with my eyes. Quite a few of those cylindrical creatures that sprayed my grove with a clear liquid, and then an ember later, our food and prey were gone. Not that it mattered anymore. None to hunt with anymore. None to talk too about what gods created those fiery spheres of the night sky and what god was that which shined upon us during the day. No boasts to be made of who could jump the highest without taking flight. It really didn’t matter anymore. Those despicable men lived in this place, there seemed to be about three claw hands and one number of men around tending to the herd of those cylindrical creatures. And in the corner, in some of form of strange cave, with a hole in the front, I saw the one who was the elder of this clan. That was all I need to see, with this I slowly glided down to a few wing-lengths above their home ground.

Promises. My Promises that need fulfillment are the only thing I can offer to those wing-borne souls of my brethren.

~*~​

I didn’t feel right about this whole issue from the start. The old Team rocket was involved in the stealing of Pokemon for use in experiments and to use them in their battles. I was part of that team rocket. I can’t be part of this team rocket as well now can I? An organization that murders and butchers an entire tribe of Pokemon, just for their skins, and horns and claws Are we just a group of lowly poachers who do not accept the merits of our fellow creatures? . I still remember it vividly, starting with the death of Giovanni DeLorenzo, they called it a plain crash, but I still think it could have been more. No matter what the old bosses faults were, he was on top of all one thing, a great pilot. I remember overhearing him muttering about how in his heart flying was second to team rocket, after another session where he berated my team. And what a team it was too. Jessicca Menendez, the cat, and me. To the very day it died, it never told anyone the damn secret about itself. But the entire team knew. Jessica and me had both heard the anguish-filled screams that tore away from it on every full moon night. Every full moon, when it found an excuse to disappear into the woods. WE never talked about it. But we all knew who did this to her. Whether she was forced to become a cat, or whether she was already one, was the only thing we did not know.

That’s right

I remember about a few months after the death of Giovanni and Jessicca in that plane crash, she came to me. Surprisingly it was not a full moon night. She whispered into my ears, the secrets of the organization that we both were involved in, what had once been doubts slowly changed themselves into realization. She growled away the secrets to understanding the language of Pokemon. Then she leapt onto me and there we lay afterwards, tangled in a tired raggedy mess of my gaunt and knobby legs and her long furry feline legs. There we formed a friendship based on love that I had not seen until now. And then she died as well, as she fell from the top of the new Rocket hideout, accidentally. Of course, I don’t believe that as well. There were many in the board of the new Rocket family that had been essential in her design. And I suppose they found her useless now. A failed project to their eyes. A good person in my eyes.

So with this statement, I end this letter, again citing remorse to you damn Rocket executives, about the death of that innocent clan of magnificent drakes, and in the process cruelly destroying their environment as well.

Maybe it is old age that has brought a tinge of melodrama to my lips, or maybe it is experience that made me wise to the words of poets. Did the hand that make the lamb, make thee? Blake asked this about the Tiger, but also about himself and his species. Nay, I say. It could not have been a kind and loving lord that made us. For what hand that creates innocence could create malice as well? So to you cruel twisters of my destiny. To you, the Rockets of this world, I shall not tarnish the memory of those Fallen drakes, my original boss, my partner, and my love, who in her own way embodied the true spirit of the old Rocket organization. Silent Determination and pride.

Thus I end this letter of my resignation from this fell organization after wasting sixty years of my prime in it. No, not a wasted sixty years! The first twenty were blissful, but the remaining forty were the wasted years. So I bid your acrid smell, goodbye and a good fall to hurt your very foundation. I think it is my melodrama that makes me hear the wings of fury beating down upon this place right now.

So as I finish these few words, I shall use my handgun for the very first time since it was given to me on that second year as a Rocket.

To protect my world from devastation,
Finally united in heaven’s nation,
To denounce the evil of this truth with your love,
To go myself to the stars above,
James,
Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrendered now to my plight
Jameson Andrew Mathias- That’s right!

Tears. Tears of my soul have yet to fall

The mother of us all, nature seems to mock me now, as I linger hovering atop these men, yet to catch their sight, as she relentlessly sends a drizzle upon myself. It stings at my body and the flame upon me, but I shall endure. Something in that odd cavern catches my attention. A loud cacophony of a sound feeds upon my ears, hurting them not but physically but as well in a soulful manner. As I feel an old soul go adrift into the big fire up above. Neither it is borne on wings nor thus it fly. It just goes there. I sense its presence to be that of a man. But I feel tears upon my eyes and a sorrowful heaving at my breast. No, They are but the drizzle of rain on me, and the sting of the water that causes my labored breath. But it is time to fulfill those promises.

A dying breath. A dying breath, I could not even give that to them, so I offer the dying breath of many others, and my own to them. That is my promise

A single breath, and I find it hard to draw upon the soul-heat that drives at me at all times. My ears still ring from that loud sound. Below, they are all rushing about into the house. So it seems I am not the only one the rain stings. So the mother of us all, nature does reward me as well as mock me then. But I fear, my bones creak with the laden weight of water, and remorse.

Another breath, a familiar heat warms my blood and my throat. Yet there is absence of that soul-flame. The sound has drummed down to a simple echo. Below it seems that they are back out of the cavern. It seems our mother does not credit me a boon, but rather teases me, in an unrelenting manner. The drizzle drums into a torrential screaming of hell-water. It burns my essence away, but I shall endure. They scour below, with about nine and ten claws as many people more attending to their herds of those foul creatures. The rain stings at me, and so does my pain ebb at the blockade I have put in place to keep it from taking away the place of my promise. So it is time.

I promise. I promise nothing else now. I expect nothing, but of the order of the skies and flames of heavens above to treat me unfairly yet justly for the crimes I am about to commit. I accept the order of it all. A balance

A last willful breath, and the mouth heats to the sense of desperation, as my tongue burns in an unexpected manner. I accept the unanticipated pain, welcoming it into the threshold I already hold. The soul-flame that is the bane of those below and me creeps in my stomach. It heaves its way through my body, lurching and burning all it seizes. A blackened heart slowly wanes within me as it holds in an ill manner to a last few heartbeats. My throat wrinkles and shrinks inexplicably to this soul-fire. At last it reaches my mouth burning it away, and I let it all out. A flame heaven sent, as it burns away at the water drifting down below, and slowly circles the creatures melting away at their armor like skin, and slowly into their bodies, burning their blood. They light on fire, and in a disconcerting aftermath, there remains nothing but charred ashes below, Humans, and those strange cylindrical beasts all lie burning. The cavern as well is gone. Their clan destroyed. Yet is it not the same with me. My home gone. The creatures that lived amongst my clan are also gone. My clan desecrated and destroyed. And yet here I live holding on to life due to that last soul-fire. No, I realize now in these last few beats of my blackened heart. It was not soul-fire, but more or of a bane-fire. My heart beats end.

I watch my body fall down below, claimed by none, amongst those who fell at my breath and claws. The rain again increasing its claim upon the world, falling on the fires extinguishing it, and I now go to the soul-flame above to take a place with my kin. The place where I saw that man’s soul go strangely. A thing unwanted, but I accept unwillingly. The rain increases and at first falls through my soul-presence, and then again it increases, hell-fire eating at my soul-presence, dousing my wings of fire, pushing me away from the flames of heaven, and I fall corroding away, through my own old body, and I fall again through the earth below that caressed me while I once slept upon it. It now scratches and slashes away at me. The pain comes back manifold. I still fall, and then I feel an impact, liquid. It stings.

Hell-Water

Well teh ending was strange. but meh. go figure.
 
*blinks*

Not sure I followed it all ^^;.

Care to explain? ^^; Great writing, I'm just not sure I get the whole of it. I mean, I get the part about Team Rocket, but how the fire-pokemon-thingamajig relates to it all, I don't know...
 
*claps* All I can say is, beautiful. I didn't follow it all either, as i'm a bit tired, i'm excited about a party today, and ...der. So erm, please elaborate. ^_^;
 
*sighs*

it seems i was either waay too vague, or just didn't make any sense at all.

Well, I suppose this short story would make more sense as like two or three chapter fic. but i'm in no mood for that :p.


I'll just explain it as well as i can in chronological order, which is not at all the order the fic is in.


Year X - Giovanni's and Jessicca Menendez's death.
- few months later. James is clued in completely on were-meowth's secrets and all she knows. (yes she. it's a ranma like thing. a were effect changes a male meowth into a female were-meowth) don't ask. She also tells him about the intent of the new organization. which is just viler than what the old TR's intentions were. kind of a greater of evil deals. NO B it's not a pun of your fic title : -P.

Year x+4: Meowth is killed. (the date's not given in the fic. but believe the author)

year X+44: incident with the fire dragon pokemon clan decimation and the destruction of their environment. while taking away almost anything on the pokemon's body for use later. said pokemon in this fic, escapes somehow. (don't ask me how again.)
James is an unwilling participant in this massacre.
the fire drake rushes off for revenge. and finds the hideout.
James commits suicide.
the fire drake notes Jame's soul going off to his heaven. and then goes off to take revenge on everyone under him.
Fire drake kills everyone and then dies. but when he tries to go to the same heaven, he is denied access, and sent away to his verison of hell. burning water.
HELL-WATER


now onto the matter on how these two ppl are related. in no way aside from both having experienced the same event, and what decisions they draw upon as a result of the event.

I hope that kinda cleared it up. I'm not gonna say who the pokemon is. cuz i figured at least taht was kinda clear. and uhh. the whole soul-fire thing and all is just a little of my own philosophical thinknig taht would go to a somewhat native american/japanese clannish tribe and their thoughts about the gods and the heavens. just added it to a pokemon clannish tribe ^^;;. Yeah. umm yeah. and yeah.
 
Some of it was clear and/or guessable, it's just how the two stories were related that sort of threw me off into confusion. Also a bit hard to follow the part about "The Cat" - way sketchy, there.

But it works out quite well.
 
A year and some months ago I watched Adolescence of Utena for the first time. I left anime club with my brains utterly melting in both confusion, the desire to shake some bloody answers from the creators, and overwhelming awe of the very beauty of the thing.

Then I read your story, and the feeling was magnified times three.

Were-Meowth? Is there a real reason this happened? As in, he fell into a cursed spring in China (a la Ranma 1/2, as you said)? And then did she... and James... OW MY VIRGIN BRAIN!! (I have ISSUES with things like that).

My interest was really piqued when it was James POV, but besides that, I was terribly confused as to who the winged narrator was supposed to be (a Charizard? "Cinnabar snout" is quite a feature), and why it should care to avenge James's soul.

Tis very lovely writing, though, save for a few redundancies and spelling errors. Menendez, eh? I'm always interested in others' guesses on Jessie's surname. And you mention Blake. Rock on.
 
D: as i said, there is no relationship between the two aside from the whole incident.

Pika-Zukin: ya ne, comparing me to Adolescence of Utena. compliment, or insult not really sure. and having seen your comments on some of me other ficlets/prose I'm not really sure. j/k. well she didn't fall in a cursed spring. i just use the ranma thing as an example. as i said. she was experimented on. ya know the whole TR genetic lab kinda thign. and Blake is teh literary prose genius. hell look at my name. it's founded of the first verse of one of his greatest poetry.

Tyger Tyger burning bright
in the forest of the night.

Tyger of da nyte.

a little changed but still.

also the whole meowth-james coupling shall be blamed on the illustrious Damian silverblade and his idea of Altoshipping in TGE2. well not really his idea originally. I'm sure some crazed maniac (said in teh kindest possible manner) thought up altoshipping before D. and yes it is a charizard. i was somewhat horrified that people couldn't guess what the pokemon whas. But i supposed it might have somethign to do with the new pokemon from R/s and how there might be one like that. so yeah.

Were-meowth was actually also based of the whole ABVH series of fiction i've started to read. Go-go lawrence hamilton :-D.

Cinabbar is actually a collor ja ne? it's a pigment made from a sulphur compound if i remember chemistry in high school. Plus, I figured collors such as crimson and red and orange, and he sunset-yellow have been used waay too much. a new approach i suppose. and yes it is a somewhat new feature. but meh. go figure. it's the whole idealogy of if humans can have different physical traits such as skin color and such, why not pokemon as well. It's a sub-species of charizard that doesn't change it's color from it's charmeleon form much. I suppose it all has somethign to do with the immediate phylum of the species. Err don't ask me what that means. I"m somewhat out of it right now as usual. and uhh yeah. :-D

Well the whole Menendez thing was more of a spur of hte moment thing. seeing I couldn't think of any abnormal sounding european surname for Jesse. And i was thinking of senator Mendoza from simpsons. he's the arch-nemesis of McBaine. and uhh I figured why not.

But my crowning achievement in names in this fic ish Jameson Andrew Matthias. WHoo, you would figure a rich guy like James to have a somewhat crazy name like that. Matthias. i just love teh sound of that. and andrew from andrew greeley. and jameson from jonah jameson. Pete Parker's boss in spiderman.

again waay too much detail for a simple answer. go figure.

also it wasn't a james pov per say. more or less him writing a letter i suppose. Heh funny, to see james write a letter especially in his old age. he's like 75 or something in this story. Damn old timer.
 
Tyger, you do realize that Latias (in her human form) actually did kiss Ash in the fifth movie, don't you? And *NOT* to tease Misty...

Altoshipping isn't a minor obscure ship based on empty air ^^;;.
