Ryosuke, Hitomi

Ryosuke Hitomi

A HEART SO TRUE, OUR COURAGE WILL PULL US THROUGH

The tale of Ryosuke begins not with himself but his mother. People often make mistakes or have a marriage that may fall apart, however it seemed that was the case for Ms.Hitomi, as he first husband who bore three children with her had left her. The case being “I wanted to be a trainer not a father.” The man had stated as he began to pack his belongings. However, Ryosuke the oldest of the three children managed to catch a glimpse of what was happening. He chased his father outside as his father was going to leave. “Pa! Don’t leave! I’m sorry we caused you to not be a trainer! Mama is cryin’ an awful lot! Don’t leave!” He cried out with tears falling through his glasses. His father merely turned around and grabbed a pokeball and released his Emboar, the flames on this pokemon were different it always had a hint of blue flame to it rather than the typical orange flame to it. “What your mother and I had wasn’t love, but lust, you’ll grow up just fine without me. As will your brother and sister, if you really want to find me again, look for me as I become the greatest trainer.” This speech seemed like a bit much for a child at the age of eight, Ryosuke didn’t know what to think until he started bursting into tears more than before. “Dad!!! Come back!” He called out as he could only see a from the distance the Emboar’s large body. On that night Ryosuke laid on the ground outside and wept until the next morning. He felt just as discarded as his mother.


The next morning Ryosuke woke up with a distained look on his face he only really seemed angry. Was there more he didn’t know to his parent’s marriage? Or was his dad just that much of a coward, he looked at the counter to where there was large Poke’egg. It was probably his father’s. He really wanted nothing to do with it. Ryosuke stared at the egg then back at his breakfast his mother only made it to go back to her room. His two siblings looked concerned as they don’t know where their dad was. “Hey big bro! Where’s dad at?” “Yeah, where is papa at?” Ryosuke looked sad for a moment then he realized he couldn’t be sad around his younger brother and sister it was time for him to get stronger and protect them. “Don’t worry Dad’s gonna be gone for a while but he said I am the man of the house now.” Ryosuke said this with a part of him dying even if it was slightly. He may not be brave but he needed to be brave for the family he was the ‘MAN’ of the house now. He watched as his siblings, smile feeling a bit more protected at this point onward, Ryosuke would showcase false bravery for his family. Only having them be the reason he can fake it so well.


It was now Christmas time, where the family was all together almost a solid five months after the divorce, it was a small Christmas as the family had less money than ever before. Each child had gotten their own toy except for Ryosuke who was simply given the egg his father left. “I don’t want this mom! I’d rather have nothing!” He lashed out, Ryosuke was a hot head who was gratefully for things but the remembrance of his father was not something he wanted. His mother simply brought the egg back towards Ryosuke with hope he would want to take it at some point. “Listen I know your father… is the reason this egg is even here but I think you’ve been so strong lately and you having a pokemon as a friend might be good for you. You’ve worked so hard to cook for your siblings after school when I go to work... I think you need this.” She rubbed the egg and smiled, “besides I knew what I was getting into when I started dating your father.” She chuckled slightly while crying, “so please take this as your gift.” “mom…” Ryosuke muttered as he held the egg, he walked back to the living room where it began to glow. His siblings began to freak out, as a Pokemon emerged from it. “Tepig!” The Tepig jumped out of Ryosuke’s arms and stared at him with gleaming eyes. “Hey…” Ryosuke said awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head. “How are you doing Coal?” He asked the pokemon while giving it a nickname, the pokemon smiled and cheered at the name before nuzzling Ryosuke.


A few years had passed since that Christmas, things were starting to look up for their family, as the children grew older. His mother managed to land on her feet and open a small restaurant in Castella City, the family lives and owns the shop. Every day seemed to be a work day however it was never lonely, even Coal would help when it came to heating up food. It wasn’t until Ryosuke was sixteen that he looked to his siblings for a bit of guidance, the repetition of every day was growing boring and while was great living with his mother still he was his father’s son… he yearned for adventure but refused himself to go unless there was a good reason. Little did he know that the reason for him to leave would soon start... A normal night of business until a few people who seemed to have belonged to a Mafia sort of deal walked in. “Can I help you?” Ryosuke had questioned the men wearing black, it wasn’t until one shorter and fatter one came across. “Absolutely we are looking for a Miss uh Hitomi. The restaurant owner. Hehe, she owes us a bit of due for helping her start up this establishment.” Ryosuke looked confused he figured over the years his mother just had money saved up and they were making ends meet by simply selling their food. “I am right here.” She said as she approached them. “I don’t quite have the money that I owe you all yet, but we can make some-“ His mother was interrupted with a slap from the fat short man. “Ya owe us money and you think that you can-“ “You bastards!” Ryosuke dropped what he was doing and rushed over only to be smacked down by the two grunts. “Oh a tough guy eh? Maybe we should just take him instead. He’d make a great addition to Team Rocket. Kekeke” “Please don’t we will have the money we just need more time… You can take what we have in the register. “ “Fine, fine, but if its not here by the next time we are gonna take that boy of yours. We’ll give you another six months. The grunts dropped Ryosuke back down and left as Ryosuke’s mother went to the next room trying to figure out a plan to keep the restaurant.


“Ma… how much do we need?” He questioned as he wiped away the small amount of blood. “We need roughly 100,000… and I don’t know how we can get that..” “Ma, I know how.” He muttered under his breath. “I’ll become a trainer and all my winnings will go straight to you guys, and when I am done I can come back.” “I don’t want to lose another one to training…” “I know its just… we need the money and that way if they come back for me, I’ll even go to the heart of where team rocket is. In Kanto. So that why they can save money getting me.” Miss Hitomi began to cry, as she hugged her son. “Please come back… I don’t like it but I don’t know what else to do.” “Yeah I’ll definitely be back.” He cried as well while hugging his mother, his siblings managed to eavesdrop, and came hugging him as well. “I’ll come back with plenty of money so we can live comfortably alright?” He smiled and looked at Coal. “You ready buddy?” Ryosuke then had a plan, while he was to be a trainer his goal wasn’t to be the best but to send as much financially to his family as possible.
