Chapter Twenty-two: A Dragon Trainer's secret and an Old Friend
Lillian's POV
"Lillian get your elbow out of my face!"
Shouted my best friend Lexie.
"Get your face out of my elbow!"
I shouted while shoving her away.
"That doesn't make any since!!"
Said Lexie.
We were stuck in Kanaii's crowded car with everyone. Lusamine sat there huddled in the corner of the car and was sitting on the other side of me and then Aracel sat in front of me.
Lusmaine was wearing a pair of flared jeans with holes at the knees, a green t-shirt, and black converse tennis shoes.
Dawn was sitting next to Aracel and Cynthia sat on the other side of Aracel and she was very overwhelmed.
Cynthia had become very shy since the incident with Silas or according to Lusamine who ever was controlling silas.
Cynthia sat closely to Aracel and she looked terrified. I sighed and I felt very sorry for her. Lusamine sat there quietly and looked up at me.
"Lillian I'm sorry I left the house against your wishes. I shouldn't have."
She said sadly.
"Hey it's okay I know you wanted to explore and I wish I could've taken you. I'm sorry."
I said.
"Why are you apologizing. I'm the one who ran off."
Said Lusamine.
"I feel bad that you've been locked up your whole life and I know you wanted to explore and someday you can go out on your own but until then you need some one to accompany you. You're still considered a minor until your twenty-one here in Coordeleena."
I said.
She nodded and began to look out the window.
"I'm very sorry about what Silas said to you. He used to not be so cruel. He and I used to be close when we were very little but we got separated when Guzma tried to save me from my father and he wasn't able to save my twin. So we were separated for twelve years until I met with him again in Sinnoh during my father's attack on the Sinnoh region. He was apart of Team Galactic and was even second in command. Lillian you were there. You helped me take out Team Galactic but you didn't meet Silas only I saw him.... He was mad that I had left him but he wasn't cruel! He still seemed to love and care about me but now- I just don't know what happened and I'm worried about him! He's the only one of my siblings who bothered to reach out to me! I'm worried about him! He may be a jerk but he's still my brother and we have to help him!"
Said Aracel.
"I wanted to help him but it just seems hopeless. If he is under the influence of Nihelego's venom then he has to be separated from the venom and he needs a special cure but Nihelgo's venom is very complex and depending on the type of neurotoxins running throughs his body, how long the burp toxins have been there, the amount of venom, and the intensity of the poison concentration Silas will have a certain type of cure or treatment. I had to have the pecha flower in my system because I had a very high amount of toxins in my body, I had a deadly poison in my body, and it's been there for a long time so I had to have a very complex cure. Silas might not need as intense of a treatment as I did depending on the amount of poison and how longs it's been there. If it's a low account and hypnotic type of neurotoxin which is just enough to drive the host into a hypnotic state which would be enough to enough to control a person's actions or emotions. Nihelego is a very emotionless creature and it will feed off of human emotions since Nihelego desires to have human emotions so when the victim is in a hypnotic state Nihelego controls the actions of the host and feeds off their emotions regardless of weather their negative or positive. You can tell when the custom is u set hypnotic neurotoxins by there high range of emotions and Silas is showing us several sides of himself. Yesterday he gave me a bouquet and said he was sorry and that he wouldn't bother me again and then Luke came up to him and then Silas's friendly demeanor changed to a violent and angry one very quickly and his eye color even changed into a bright red. I knew that he has to be under hypnotic Neurotoxins."
Said Lusamine.
"Wow you know a lot about this stuff."
Said Aracel.
"Well I studied about them and not mother knew a lot about them through my father's research."
Said Lusamine while smiling.
Lusamine pulled out a thick leather bound book out of her bag and smiled at Aracel.
"Wicke gave me this. I paid a visit to the Aether foundation to say goodbye to Wicke and the others before I left for Coordeleena and she gave me this book. This contains my father and mother's research and observations on the ultra beasts. It'll be very useful and it even gives a huge list of cures for Nihelego's poison."
Said Lusamine.
She opened the book and turned to the table of contents. She went the page that said hypnotic suggestion venom. She opened and began to read from it.
"Nihilego's Hypnotic neurotoxin is a very complex poison depending on the amount of poison and its intensity. It's believed to be a defense mechanism trigger in Nihelego when being threatened or yelled at by a human being. Nihelego may not have human emotions but it can feel fear and feel threatened. Nihelego will feed off of these human emotions as a defense mechanism. However These neurotoxins are very dangerous when manipulated by humans. Humans have used Nihelego's poison before and manipulated to extreme measures which hurts the host but the cure for this isn't as complex as the venom it's self. Nihlego must be separated from the host and the poison must be extracted from the victim. Extraction can be as simple as medicines made pecha berries and other healing herbs however depending on the length of time the poison been int eh victim's system the more complicated the cure gets which may require a type of berry which cures all poison which can be found in Coordeleena or even grown in farms throughout the region however these berries are very expensive and rare."
Said Lusamine.
"Wow... We need to find out more about what exactly happened to Silas. I have a bad feeling that he's being controlled by someone very dangerous."
Said Aracel.
"We'll help him."
I said.
"Thank you Lillian."
Said Aracel
I nodded and Lusamine looked over and looked out the window.
"Do you ever think about your mother?"
I asked.
Lusamine looked down at her feet and looked back up at me.
"Yes I do... As crazy and protective as she was she was mom and I loved her. I do miss her... I mean it's weird not having mom or dad around anymore. I feel a little lost..."
Said Lusamine sadly and almost in tears.
"It's okay. You'll do fine and I bet Gladion was very happy to have you back home."
I said.
Then I noticed Lillie look over at Lusamine and she grabbed her hand and held onto it tightly.
"Lillie really likes you."
I said.
"I'm glad she does."
Said Lusamine.
I smiled and looked over out the window.
Serena was sitting in front of me next to Lillie. I looked over and smiled at her.
"This is kind of boring."
I said.
"Yeah it sure is."
I said.
I thought back to the case and everything else. I looked over at Cynthia and smiled at her. She looked away from me. Her grey eyes looked dead like there was no life left in them. I pitied her.
I feel like she feels guilty about being mean to us and for doing those things to us in the past. I feel like she's afraid of us. I looked over at Cynthia.
"There's no need to be afraid of us."
I said.
She looked over at me and nodded.
"I'm sorry if I'm being antisocial..."
She said quietly.
"It's okay did something happen to?"
I asked.
She looked down at the ground and sighed.
"I don't want to talk about it."
She said.
"Okay. We don't have to."
I said.
She looked over at me and nodded.
"Do you have a Pokemon?"
I asked.
She shook her head for no and looked away.
"Silas took everything from me. I have nothing. I lost everything. I was arrested and they took my Pokemon once I was released and proven innocent I still couldn't get my Pokemon back because they were released. My family even left me. I have no one and everyone hates me..."
Said Cynthia almost in tears.
I looked over at her and I laced a hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay we don't hate you."
I said.
She nodded and a single tear streamed down her cheek.
"Hey it'll be okay. There's no need to be scared your with us now."
I said.
She nodded and Aracel hugged Cynthia while she cried.
"I'm still very scared."
Said Cynthia.
"I know you are."
Said Aracel.
"It'll be okay."
I said.
Lusamine sat there and placed her hand on Cynthia's shoulder.
"It'll be okay. You have Aracel and Gizma here and they'll take care of you there's no need to be scared."
Said Lusamine giving Cynthia a reassuring smile.
Cynthia nodded at Lusamine.
"Thank you."
Said Cynthia who smiled at Lusamine.
Lusmaine smiled back at Cynthia. I nodded and smiled at Lusamine. I was hoping this day would go by faster so we could get there.
"We'll be there in an hour."
Said Kanaii.
"Good."
I said while stretching.
Calem's POV
"I swear I've been in this car for too long with a bunch of psychopaths!"
Said Paul.
"At least your not sitting next to Conway!"
Shouted Gladion.
"Did you know that female Ariados eat their own children?!"
Said Conway.
"Oh my Arceus!"
Said Gladion who sounded disturbed.
"An we trade please Paul?!"
Begged Gladion.
"You want to sit next to Barry and Gold?!"
Shouted Paul.
"Nah I'm good."
Said Gladion.
"How long do we have in this never ending pit of torture?!"
Shouted Silver.
"One hour!"
Said Guzma who was in our driver.
"Thank Arceus!"
Said Ash.
"what are you vain plinking about your not sitting next to Alec!!!"
Shouted Rj.
"I'm not touching you Rj! I'm not touching you!!!"
Said Alec putting his finger two inches from my face.
"VG make Alec stop!!!"
Shouted Rj.
"Stop acting like children!!!!"
Shouted VG fiddling with his portable tablet.
"There's not service you've got to be kidding me?!"
Shouted VG.
"We're on the road!!!"
Shouted Rj.
I sighed and looked over. This has been one heck of a car ride. I sat there quietly and then my phone rang in my back pocket. I answered and it was my friend Sammie.
"Hey Sammie."
I said.
"Hey Calem so you're going to Hydra's party too huh? I bet you're taking Lillian right?"
Asked Sammie.
"Yeah."
I said.
"Consider yourself lucky to be dating one of the hottest and smartest girls on the planet."
Said Sammie.
"Yeah I am very lucky."
I said while blushing.
"So how about that mystery girl you refuse to tell me about did you ask her out?"
I asked.
"No... I seriously freeze when I think about asking her! She's way out of my league! She's beautiful every time I look into those beautiful bluish hazel eyes and I freeze and turn to mush."
Said Sammie.
"Dude don't I know that feeling."
I said while smiling.
"So who's you're date."
I asked.
"Bianca!"
Said Sammie while sighing.
"Seriously?!"
I said while laughing.
"Yeah...."
Said Sammie.
"So who's this girl you like?!"
I asked.
"Her name is Lexie and she's so beautiful and-"
"Wait did you say Lexie?!"
I asked.
"Yeah why?"
Asked Sammie.
"Because Lexie is living at Paul's for a while with Lillian and she's going to the dance with Barry."
I said
"Why Barry?!"
He shouted.
"She didn't want to go with him she had no choice. Why are you going?"
I asked.
"Because I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and talk to people and not be so shy!"
Said Sammie.
"That will help you."
I said.
"Yeah I hope so. I have to go I'm checking into my hotel right now. I'll talk to you later bye Calem."
Said Sammie hanging up.
"Who was that?"
Asked Silver.
"Just an old friend of mine."
I said.
"Guys where here it's time to get unpacked."
Said Guzma.
"Finally!!!"
Said Gladion leaping out of the car.
"Geez was it that bad Gladion?!"
Asked Garret.
"You didn't have to sit next to Conway for eight hours straight!!!"
Said Gladion.
"True."
Said Garret.
Then I saw Kanaii's car pull into the large driveway in front of the mansion.
"Wow I've seen shopping malls bigger than this place."
Said Gold.
"Yeah no kidding!"
Said Silver.
Lillian's POV
We finally got to the mansion and it was even bigger than I thought it would be.
All the girls got out of the and Lusamine stayed close behind me and Lillie held Lusamine's hand.
Cynthia hid behind Aracel and Aracel sighed and rolled shed eyes.
"Geez Cynth! No one here is going to attack you."
Said Aracel.
"I'm just shy... I have a hard time trusting people..."
Said Cynthia.
"Did something happen to you?!"
She asked.
Tears started to stream down Cynthia's face.
"I really just don't want to talk about it."
Said Cynthia.
"Well if you ever want to talk about it I'm right here okay?"
Asked Aracel.
Cynthia nodded and continued to hide behind Aracel.
We all walked towards the mansion and we were greeted by the butler.
"Hello it's nice to meet you my name is Giles and you must be Lillian Duncan."
Said Giles.
"Yes I am and these are my friends."
I said.
"You have a huge group of people with you miss Lillian. Lady Hydra will be very pleased. She loves people."
Said Giles.
Hydra was extremely social which is why she loves parties.
"Well please follow me to her office but there's someone I would like you to meet. Lillian we hired this young man to protect Master Elijah. This Johnathan Mathers."
I dropped my suitcase on the ground and stood there in shock.
"Hellos Lil, Guzma, and Paul. It's been a while."
"Where in the underworld have you been! You can't just leave your post as the Battle bridge member just like that and then show up out of the blue five years later!!! What the heck is wrong with you?!"
Shouted Guzma.
"Guzma catch me up I'm confused."
Said Plumeria.
"This is Johnathan he's a member of the battle brigade or was then he disappeared and didn't come back for five years!"
Said Guzma.
"You can't just leave and expect us to not be mad at you!"
Shouted Paul.
"We were worried about you!"
I Shouted.
Johnathan stood there shuffling his feet and he stood there staring at the ground.
"I'm sorry... I left to become stronger and I did just that."
Said Johnathan.
"So you run a battle facility!"
Said Ash happily.
"Yeah I do."
Said Johnathan.
"I'm challenging the champion league so can we have a battle?!"
Asked Ash.
"How many symbols do you have?"
Asked Johnathan.
"well none so far..."
Said Ash.
"Ash you have to at least et three symbols before you can challenge me."
Said Johnathan.
"Aw man..."
Said Ash.
"Don't think we're done with this conversation! You're coming back home with us right?!"
I asked.
"Of course I need to get back to my facility."
Said Johnathan.
"Good."
I said.
Then I noticed Cynthia peeking out from behind Aracel.
"Who's he?"
She asked quietly.
"Oh that's Johnathan he runs a battle facility."
Said Aracel.
Johnathan peeked over at her.
"Your Cynthia right?"
He asked.
"Y-yeah."
She said.
"Johnathan do you know her?"
I asked.
"I've never talked to her directly but I' seen her in sprain on several occasions. She's changed. I heard what happened to her! Would it be considered if I killed Silas?!"
Said Johnathan.
"Let's not keep Lady hydra waiting come along."
Said the butler.
I nodded and we all followed the butler into the mansion.
