Erin

  —

  We actually ended up staying with Maxx for two days, letting mom hunt down enough food for a week. A very tight week, and I would be buying them some dense food when we got to Vermilion just for backup, but it would be enough. I mean, more than enough to get there, but at this point I wanted some backup meat no matter what, we were already out here, and it was a bad idea to separate from her for hours… Thanks to a certain someone who was at the top of my 'painfully disembowel' list…

  Maxx had been quite the surprise, because other than the Rangers, Maxx was moms first human friend! She actually used that word! Friend!

  He hadn't been surprised, though. Apparently mom had a reputation online, even before saving him. Vicious maneater, sure, but that was when those men came into her home. She was in ours now, and she wasn't a rampaging monster. The hundreds of peaceful sightings of her made that relatively clear… Although, she certainly scared people when she sprinted across the Route 17 bridge, especially when she was carrying a Tauros by its head… I didn't blame them, honestly…

  Rosie was a huge fan of mom, all the Kangaskhan were. How did I know that? I mean, Rosie could have just told me, sure. She didn't need to, though.

  The herds came to see mom.

  She had apparently told them she wouldn't be around for a while while we were up north, so they hadn't been surprised by her absence, but she was popular with them. I mean, some of it was her taking out the poachers, sure, but I think the biggest part was that she was a huge, hugely overprotective, overbearing mother, and Kangaskhan as a species were overbearing, overprotective mothers.

  They were also very trusting of us, of course, so while they had all said hello to us when they showed up, they had quickly unloaded their kids into the compound and gone back to talking with mom, ignoring Alex and Leaf like the children they were- like 'we' were, I guess… I hadn't minded, though, and neither had anyone else. There were more than a hundred baby Kangaskhan in the compound for over an hour! It was quite possibly the most adorable thing I had ever seen!

  Other than Hazard and Cerberus, everyone had been happy to play with the babies, and Maxx had gotten a lot of photos. This was apparently not super rare for them to do, but they usually left Rosie or some other adults, and never all the herds at once! He might have set a record for most Kangaskhan babies in a picture without an adult in history, actually.

  We also got to meet moms other human friends when she forced us to get in the Ride Basket that evening after the Kangaskhan left.

  —

  The Ranger station in the plains was exactly the same as every other ranger station I had seen, except for one, teeny, tiny, minuscule difference.

  This Ranger station had a statue of mom!

  Life-sized!

  When she finally put the basket down, I barely had time to pull myself out before there were three Rangers throwing themselves at mom's face! I knew she had friends, but what?! I mean, they were for sure playing it up a little, but still! I was not expecting the two men and a woman to just be so casual around her, even after the Ranger station up near Cerulean!

  She's eaten forty three people! That we know of! Actually, quite a bit more now, with the poachers!

  "Leto! Finally got tired of eating little snacks up north, huh?" This had to be the Head Ranger, a huge, bald man with a very frequently broken nose. He looked like he would drink me- past, alcoholic adult me- under the table while horrendously insulting me the entire time, then carry me home to be sure I got there safely. He had that kind of 'I'll ruin your life, but only if you give me a reason to' face. He looked badass!

  "Oooh, maybe we can find you some more poachers! Two Pidgey with one Rock Throw!" That blonde lady was vicious with her smile, and I liked her already. A lot, plus I wanted a hat like hers! It was like Maxx's, but dark purple!

  "So you finally upgraded from that rotting skin, huh?" A black-haired guy so generic that I was sure I had finally encountered a NPC! My eyes seemed to want to slide right off of him! The Ranger 'uniform' was just their bright green vests, but this guy seemed to make even that look unremarkable and dull.

  We finally scrambled out, only to find the Rangers giving me huge smiles. The huge, bald man spoke up, voice full of humor.

  "Erin! Good to finally meet you! Leto has a lot to say about your… insanity? Yeah, I think that's what she called it! Your insanity!" Mom nodded at him and I glared at her even as the lady spoke up.

  "Be nice to her… No, really, be nice to her! She feels like Leto! She kind of looks like her, too! Look at the little glare!" My glare fell upon the woman who said that, but she didn't even flinch! Instead, she cooed at me!

  Cooed!

  At ME!

  ME!!!

  "Aww, she's so adorable and vicious! Look at her, like a tiny little tyrant, herself!" Alex and Leaf burst into laughter even as I began to growl. The NPC spoke up again, somehow able to talk in a game that didn't have voice acting!

  "Wait Jess, it gets even better! Now she sounds like her! Wow, you were not joking, were you, Leto?" I knew my eyes were blazing right now, and it only grew worse as my sister opened her mouth!

  "That's actually the newest nickname we gave her! She's 'The Savage Trainer', and she's the 'Tiny Tyrant'! It's so perfect, too!" My glare shifted to her, but of course, Alex couldn't remain quiet.

  "She even hunts like Leto! She'll get this grin, stare off into the darkness, then stalk into it! She kills most of them up close, too!" She was laughing at me even as I glared at the ground.

  Okay, it was funny… I admit that.

  Now shut up!

  "Damn, really, hunting?! I'm almost surprised, but not very." I looked up to glare at the Head Ranger for that comment, but they were ignoring me, now, just talking to Leaf and Alex!

  Me!

  Fine, then! I can get attention!

  Easily!

  "I've killed over thirty people. I could crank that number up?" I didn't say I would kill them, and I wouldn't, but they didn't need to know that.

  That got them to shut up real fast, though. They turned to mom and gave her incredulous, dumbfounded looks, and she nodded with an extra-vicious grin. Their stunned eyes turned back towards me and I grinned, flipped them off with both hands, bent my wrists back, and triggered both of my blades, causing all of them to jump a little.

  Of course, Stabby decided that was his cue to release himself and flick me, because he had apparently agreed to keep 'obscenities' out of my mouth… and he went above and beyond in his work, obviously. Punishing rude gestures was just a little bonus for mom!

  "Stabby! It's the perfect way to scare people with my blades, you know that! Let me flip people off!" He just grinned, shook his head, and landed on Leto's head, because of course she liked him… I mean, we were very similar, which honestly said bad things about both of us…

  "Arceus! What the fuck?! What do you mean, over thirty?!" I laughed at the look on the lady's face. My grin was, of course, vicious. I might have bounced my eyebrows a few times, too… Just a little.

  "Each and every one was Team Rocket, in uniform. I know you knew about the Pewter incident, but you heard about the crap going on in Saffron?" They nodded in stunned confusion. I loved it.

  "Yeah, that was me. Assassinated and killed roughly thirty or so before and after they wised up. Maimed like, twenty more after they did, it's easier to maim, plus it's a nice distraction for the others, all the screams, ya know, but that doesn't count my team. They got the other sixty or so. Not mom, in case you were wondering. She would not have fit in those tunnels, and Artemis stayed with her." She hadn't been happy not to come, but she had been understanding… barely.

  They were dead silent now, just… Oh, it's the same look as Maxx had! Just pure confusion!

  —

  "You know, maybe Tiny Tyrant is accurate… I mean…" I grinned at the Head Ranger as he tried to grapple with reality.

  "I… don't mind it much, I guess? Maybe the tiny part, but…" It was accurate! I was tiny! I was very slight, too! I mean, I worked out daily, plus training, so I was finally not weak for my size, I was actually damn strong for my size, now… I was just tiny, so I was still weak in the grand scheme of things…

  That's why I had wanted blades so sharp they barely needed force to get through bone…

  "Erin, you are tiny, and you're probably not going to grow that much more!" I glared at Leaf, because she was right! I mean… I don't want to be huge again, at all, but something about being this small and a kid was just… not fun.

  "Be nice, Leaf… Also, I thought you weren't trying to lie, either? Erin's probably going to shrink, actually!" I shifted my glare to Alex, but it was the female Ranger who drew it next.

  "By the way, you know you're famous, right? Well, infamous." She smiled at my glare.

  "Well, I just had to look it up, we only heard the police were under investigation, but you were recorded when you exited the tunnels and called out the Diglett… Also in the police department calling the Diglett out… There's also a video of you charging off into the woods while flipping off the people that stared at the blood-soaked fourteen year old. They're… actually calling you the Tiny Tyrant, too. You're kind of distinctive, so they knew who you were, and who your mom is, and you're kind of tiny…" She trailed off as I growled, unconsciously releasing my aura as I grew mad.

  Then Leaf slapped the back of my head and I reigned it in.

  "Sorry about my sister, she's… vicious, but we're working on house-training her." I glared a little at her, but the looks on the Rangers faces were very gratifying.

  The amusement in Alex's voice was not.

  "Wow, Erin, you are infamous! 'The Tiny Tyrant Tears the Throats of Terrorists!', 'The Savage Trainer: Hero, Killer, or Yes?', 'Blood-soaked Tiny Tyrant seen dashing off into the woods, possibly in search of more blood!', 'The Savage Trainer exposes corruption and infiltration in Kanto's largest police department!' 'The Savage Trainer and the Champion: A young protegee for the famous Dragon Master?'" She began to laugh, but only for a second!

  Excuse me?!

  Protegee?!

  ME?!

  To LANCE?!

  DRAGON MASTER?!

  I didn't scream out a word. I didn't roar or Roar. I didn't groan, I didn't mutter, I didn't even talk in a normal tone of voice. I didn't mean to do what I did, truly.

  I was just a squeaky fourteen year old.

  With a lot of aura.

  I Screeched.

  —

  "Thanks, Indeedee…" She gave me a light glare, along with one slap, minus the pain, before she moved onto my last victim. Alex, of course, because she left her for last. She had warmed up to Alex completely by this point, so I think she was just doing it to mess with her, honestly.

  "Sorry… I did not mean to do that… Kind of funny, yes, but it would have been hilarious if it didn't hit me, too…" I ignored the glares I was receiving.

  "Kind of glad I didn't throw a tantru-" My eyes widened in absolute horror. Oh no… Tell me that wasn't a thing! It better not be!

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  Leafs eyes grew wide even as she began to smile.

  "Oooh, I wonder if you would tantrum like a Tyrantrum! Or a Tyrunt, but even with your size, which is tiny, you're a Tyrantrum. At least they have more control over themselves?" I only had a few seconds to glare at her before Alex spoke up, finally healed.

  "Didn't she kind of do that the other night, at that one guy?" No, I did not! Also, good job not using names!

  "That was justified rage! Even mom was mad! Both of them!" I glared at both of them. "I am not going to throw a tantrum!" I felt like I was close, though.

  "I mean, I'm sorry, but my rage right now is justifiable, too! Lance isn't a Dragon Master, Dragonite is! Lance isn't the Champion, Dragonite is! I am nobody's protegee! If I had to choose someone's protegee to be, it would not be Kanto's number one Human Mascot! Professor Oak still has steel in his gaze! He can intimidate me whenever he feels like it! Has, multiple times! Just to laugh at me! I'll be his protegee! Mom, human mom Patricia, made Lance flinch! She flicked his ear for cursing! Protegee?! Me?!" I might have been working myself back up.

  Leaf held a hand up in front of my face as I growled towards the ground.

  "Erin, cool it, we know all that… I think they didn't, though." I followed her eyes to the confused Rangers.

  Huh, I had just used a weak Pokemon Move in front of them… Also blasted the 'Champion'... Ehh, screw it.

  "I mean, it's better they know, right? Lance is a good guy, so I'm fine with him having the title of Champion. Dragonite would hate to do all that paperwork anyways… Maybe that's why he's such a scrub and never named his Pokemon, he just doesn't have the time to do it. That, or he spends too much brain power thinking of new cape designs to buy…"

  Alex was smirking, though.

  "You know, Erin…" My glare was withering, but both of these girls were used to them now!

  "You might want to lean into that angle? Make any retaliation from Team Rocket less likely?" I was shaking my head already.

  "I don't knowingly lie, Alex. I'll be his protegee the second he teaches me something to do with dragons I've never heard of or wouldn't have figured out on my own, or when he can intimidate me like Professor Oak. Considering that will be never, I'm fine."

  I turned to the still-stunned Rangers, desperate to change the subject.

  "So, question for you all… Why the hell does mom have a statue out here?" All three kind of jerked and blinked a bit, but the lady spoke up, still giving me a look.

  "She's got some awards, and Leto's cool? I mean, that's it? She offered to put it up after we joked about it, and we said go ahead. It's kind of awesome, plus, who else has had a Queen do stonework for them?" I smiled at that. Yeah, it was kind of cool…

  "Well, there's Maxx?" That got all of them to start laughing. The Head Ranger managed to squeak out some words.

  "You should have seen him when Leto brought him in! Or when I made him take one last ride out to the herd in her mouth!" Holy shit, no! That's so funny! This guy is hilarious!

  Leaf was mad, though.

  "That was mean! Well, mom wouldn't have eaten him, sure, but I know she would have tormented him at least a little… She always does…" She trailed off with a look of worry. Yeah, she does enjoy tormenting people. Kinda like… me… Yeah… Thanks, aura-tinted mind!

  Alex was confused, though, the poor girl…

  "Wait, Leaf, why do you know how bad it is? I thought you had the Ride Basket?" I burst into laughter as Rotom took that moment to fly out and blast Leaf.

  "Well, this was before my time, and there's no video, but Leto's timeouts are in her mouth, and her punishments are speed! Also while in her mouth! Here's Leafs timeout! Raihan's Rotom made a great photo collage, but unfortunately didn't catch the hour long punishment!" I watched Alex burst into laughter, and I also watched the instant she realized she was punishable as well. She had slept next to those jaws a lot…

  The Rangers were laughing hard, and the Head Ranger called out towards the base. A few seconds later another Rotom was floating over. I knew I had paid a lot for Rotom, but apparently I had paid a ton for Rotom and gotten a discount, considering this new one was less than half the size or thickness!

  I mean, it did have a lot of shit in there, including that flimsy hologram projector… which had been cool as fuck to learn about, to be fair… I hadn't seen it near another Rotom yet, so I guess I had forgotten how small Raihan's was…

  "Sparky, could you send them the photos of Maxx? Also, show them?" It didn't verbally respond, but a very basic chat interface popped up… The same one Rotom had originally had.

  "Any reason you don't buy them a better app? I think Rotom's was cheap. A lot of the money I had, but I was pretty broke after buying the phone." They gave me a strange look as Rotom, my Rotom, started to shake…

  "Those voice programs are government property, though? It's too easy to impersonate a human. You can't buy those, or we would have. Sparky here is part of the team." Their looks of confusion were genuine, and I began to glare at Rotom, who started sparking.

  "Not a minute into our first meeting and you scammed me?" I was more impressed than anything, honestly.

  "It's fine, Erin. I turned that money into more money! Then I lost it because Number Fifteen was apparently having a bad day…" My scowl grew murderous.

  "You gambled with my money? Money that you basically conned out of me? You stole from-" Fuck. I'm a hypocrite… A HUGE one… Rotom still fucked up, but… damn it!

  I sighed and took a long, deep breath.

  "I… I don't know why I'm surprised, I guess? Give the program to Sparky, Rotom. I don't care if it's government, or which government, I'll get Lance to okay it. Or you can, rather… Oh yeah, you want a name, bud?" I enjoyed the look of shock on their face before it practically erupted in sparks, scowling at me.

  "You ask me if I want a name so casually? Not trying to make it a big ceremony or something? Not after I got revenge for you? Not after I saved your life?! Now?!" I grinned at it. The biggest shit-eating grin I could manage.

  "Yeah? It's okay, if you don't want a name, you don't have to have one. I was waiting for you to choose one, considering you can speak, but I guess you like being Rotom…" It shocked me, and this one actually stung a little, but I just laughed.

  "Hah, that was great! Seriously though, do you?" It nodded at me, still glaring.

  "Okay, male, female, ambiguous, or no preference?" It thought for a second, eyes closed.

  "Male, I'm already used to the voice, I guess? He/him, too." I smiled, because I had been thinking about this for a while.

  "How about a type of weapon? Something that stabs? Like Dirk?" It sparked even harder for a moment.

  "Maybe? That's more a you name, not me. You have to have something better than that, though?" I mean… I kinda liked that…

  "How about… Casper? There was a… story from my… hometown about Casper the Friendly Ghost. He was a young boy that… I honestly don't remember how he died? He liked to prank people, though…" It sparked even harder for a second, then sagged.

  "Nah, that doesn't sound very me…" I kinda agreed… fuck…

  "How about… So, only I will get the references, us, really, but there were two fictional characters from my old place that shared a name. One was a young, hyper-intelligent genius boy. Like, the smartest kid in the world, would have taken it over or saved it or something except for his bumbling sister… The second character also had a bumbling sister, but he was… like me, I guess? Well, no, he was a murderer who craved murder, but his father trained him to only go after other murderers… I'm a killer, I don't crave murder… just Team Rocket killing… Crap, am I him? Except I don't have stunted emotions…" Rotom was giving me a very weird look.

  Everyone was, actually, even Stabby… I felt my face grow hot.

  "Yeah, sooo… How's Dexter sound?" It sparked again, then went silent for a few seconds.

  "It's… acceptable? I like the name, a lot, actually, but the more you talked the less I was prepared to like it… Still a nice name, though? Maybe just stop talking so much, unless that will literally kill you?" He smirked at me.

  "Wow… I feel so proud to have named my creepy little ghostly groupie after a genius murderer… I think I made a mistake, actually!" Dexter smiled at me.

  "You know, I have access to a few programs I haven't run before…" I burst into laughter. I knew exactly what programs he was talking about. They looked like fun, if I'd been a little electric ghost.

  I turned back to the Rangers with a wide smile. They were smiling at the exchange, but before I could even open my mouth, Sparky spoke.

  "Yes! Awesome! Thanks, uhh, Dexter! This is so cool! A little complicated to operate, actually very, very complicated… Why are you all flinching? Why is Dexter flinching, too?" I chuckled even through the wincing.

  "You might not be hearing yourself, Sparky. Listen and you'll see." It went silent for a moment, then shook a little.

  "Oh, I just read the instructions… Sorry?" The dozens of voices it cycled through were unholy sounding.

  "Don't worry about it! Human babies cry for much longer than an hour, and you sound almost as annoying as them!" I got some weird looks from Alex and Leaf at that and I grew genuinely confused.

  "What? They do, though? Babies are annoying!" Leaf was glaring at me.

  "Erin, babies aren't annoying! They are cute! They can't help it!" I noticed the female Ranger smirking at Leaf and grinned. She knew.

  "Leaf, when's the last time you interacted with a baby?" She frowned, because I knew the answer to that question, roughly.

  "When I was like, eight?" I chuckled at her. It was a pained chuckle.

  "Leaf, human babies are deliberately annoying. They screech and whine because that's the only thing they have that will change their environment, their diaper, feed them, everything. They are loud, and the sound is designed to annoy you. It makes you want to soothe the infant so it will shut up! Yes, there's love, but love runs thin after the second month with three hours of sleep a night, if you're lucky." I greatly enjoyed the look on Leaf and Alex's face at that.

  The female Ranger spoke up, humor in her voice.

  "You forgot the part when they start crawling, and they try to kill themselves in creative ways!" I giggled at that, and the Head Ranger had a fond look in his eyes. Ah, he had kids too, for sure. I recognize that look.

  Leaf was giving me an odd look, though.

  "How'd you know all that, though?" I frowned a little. Not that I minded sharing, it's just, how?

  "A, uhh… friend? I guess? I helped with her baby more than a few times. She was actually visiting… others when her water broke, and I ended up having to be there for the delivery in the car… I caught the baby…" My voice trailed off a little bit, because that had been horrible! Wonder of life, sure, but not in the back of my aunt's car as her friend pushed a baby out into my hands! I had been fifteen! Grossness aside, I was terrified that one or the other was going to die! I was not built to handle that, not at fifteen!

  The female ranger spoke up with sympathy… but also a bit of an amused edge.

  "Yeah, it's not pleasant, at all… Don't worry, though, you'll be fine if you decide to have kids!" Her smirk was vicious, but I really didn't want to follow that train of thought.

  She kinda fucked me over, though, by saying it out loud!

  Because how was I even supposed to date? I mean, sure, I'm fourteen now. I had… kind of accepted that more or less, mentally as well. Even if I still resented the fuck out of it… I was a kid again! I still did not find people in my age bracket attractive! They all looked like kids, because they were! Around twenty they started looking fine again… I had the feeling that, if I survived that long, I would be very single until I was at least eighteen… Honestly, even if I did eventually adjust to the same-age attractiveness thing, a very big if… Kids were fuckin' dumb! What kind of long, deep, meaningful conversations can a fifteen year old have? I mean, I was a kid again, and… almost certainly dumber, but still!

  Yeah… I was going to be single for a long, long time… I hadn't been searching for it, of course, but now she mentioned it… Honestly, though? Probably a good thing that I won't be dating for years… It would give me time to change myself. I hadn't exactly ever been a good partner, more like a shitty one-

  ""Be nice!"" 'Sorry… I'll try…'

  I think the female ranger picked up on my distress, because she quickly changed the subject… But not before Leaf and Alex noticed.

  Fuck!

  "So, what are you doing here, Leto? Or was it just saying hello?" Mom actually waved at her and I laughed.

  "I knew she knew you Rangers, but I really didn't expect mom to have friends! Well, human friends!" Mom gave me a mock glare.

  The female Ranger, Jess, was enthusiastic, however.

  "Yeah, Leto is great! Most carnivorous Pokemon we have to monitor hate us for telling them what to do, and they'll try and go around our regulations any chance they get. Leto? If it's Tauros, she can just hunt, doesn't matter how many. Ponyta? We just get her to tell us how many she takes, we trust her word. Not like a Queen needs to lie to us mere peasants, right Your Majesty?" Mom chuffed out a huge chuckle.

  The Head ranger smirked at me.

  "Leto also has awards, of course, so… Yeah? Trust me, kid, if you go to another region next, it doesn't matter who they are, the Rangers there will love Leto. In fact, we're going to miss her! We haven't seen any signs of poachers since Sparky recorded the second… devouring and posted it online." Excuse me?

  "You posted videos of her eating poachers?!" What the fuck?!

  He just smiled at me.

  "Not to the general PokeNet, no. There's a separate, disconnected network. It's mostly harmless stuff on there, but criminals like to use it, because it's much harder for government Porygons to monitor. We posted it on there with the title 'Huge Jackpot at the Kangaskhan Herds!'... It's very popular, actually." Okay, so they had a dark net here… How should I feel about this?

  Dexter zapped me with a grin.

  "Don't worry, Erin! It was already being… looked at, monitored!" My glare lessened. Fine. I did trust Looker, with my life, in fact…

  Not his fault Giovanni had someone, or someones, in his organization…

  "Fine, but next time you do that without my permission? I won't kill you, but I will make you wish for death at least once, while remaining completely inside the bounds of the law. This is your one warning." I slammed my aura into them, not hard, but hard enough, and I kept it there, pushing down just the smallest bit. I was mad.

  They all flinched, but the Head Ranger glared at me through his flinch, so I smiled and pushed just a bit harder on him, even as mom viciously grinned at them.

  "Problem with that? She's not your Pokemon, or family. I deliberately don't look myself or her up on the PokeNet, so I don't want my human mom calling me one day wondering why there's a video of her eating humans, even if they're poachers. Do what you should have done the first time. Just ask! You have Roto- Dexter's number! Call me! I wouldn't have cared if you had asked! Yes, it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. You might also infuriate the wrong person."

  He continued the glare for a moment, but as intimidating as his glare was, he was nothing compared to mom, either one these days, honestly, not to mention that Clefable, Charizard, Maddy, Wukong, take your pick.

  Eventually he gave me a tight nod of his head and I released the pressure on them with a wide smile.

  "Seriously, I wouldn't have cared in the least! Screw poachers! Don't act like a child and assume, though." The female Ranger burst into laughter, even as my smile turned back into a glare. She waved her hands at me, still laughing.

  "Sorry, it's just, you're right! How?! The Tiny Tyrant just schooled us! What the hell is up with today? Also, Pokemon Move? Aura?" She was still laughing, but I wasn't.

  "I don't have to answer any questions… But yes, and yes. No, I can't teach it. No… unfortunately, I do not have super strength…" Still kind of bitter about that…

  I mean, mind stuff is badass! Talking to Pokemon, even if I have to focus to respond and translate? Badass! Immune to fae forever? Badass! Immune or very resistant to any mental attack? Badass! Aura-tinted mind that makes me act a lot like Leto, the giant, literal maneater? Not as badass… Well, very badass in one sense, but highly inconvenient, too!

  The Head Ranger laughed, still eyeing me a bit warily.

  "That's probably a good thing. A super-powered Tiny Tyrant sounds like a bad idea!" I scowled as the laughter of everyone was once again directed at me. And the coo's from the lady!

  I'm supposed to be a badass killer with Hidden Blades up my sleeves, with a Tyrant of a mother, trainer of powerful, dangerous Pokemon, dominator of two Dragon Mas- one Dragon Master and one Human Mascot! A badass! Terrifying! Scary!

  Not adorable! Not the Tiny Tyrant! Not the kind of person who gets cooed at like a fucking baby Pokemon!

  Me!

  Cooed at!

  AGAIN!!!
