"To be blunt about it, my mom kind of only cared about having a daughter and would ditch a guy when she had a boy..."
Rocket Grunt Haruto
@greenhairedgrunt.bsky.social
Pokémon OC/Muse is 25, Mun is 35/Multiverse friendly/TABOO WILL BE BLOCKED!/Ships only with chem.
"I don't even know what mine looks like. Just that he likely has green hair."
"I'm so glad he's too young for people to assume he's my dad..."
"Mom knows.... its Proton you have to worry about."
"Uh...I'm sure none of the executives heard that..."
"Talking bout my father too."
"I don't have the full story on mine...but I do know he never even tried talk to me. It's just as much my mom's fault but...all I know is I look like him."
He actually laughed at that. "I should be saying that to you. I owe you a favor, after all."
....Haru, If you,ever....ever....EVER need someone removed, Just know,im here,
"He's been hiding as a kid more but he's doing better. Talking to more people. Has his snark back. Still can't thank you enough for the help with that."
Yeah...you're right! I need to lock the fuck in! Uhh Also,hows Garnet doing now after the power draining bot drained his collar?
"You've made some really cool stuff and flinch at it. You need to realize you got this! You helped me save Garnett."
Whaaaat? Noooo? Uhhh what makes you say that? I-Im unsure if gadgets even worked at all! .... Ah...i see what you mean....
"You're surprised any of your gadgets work after that draining bug worked. ...Leo, you ever consider your issue is self-confidence?"
Im kinda surprised that the smoke bomb actually worked,usually its a dud....
"Yes. You helped me with the collar... You're lucky you didn't hit an executive."
Sorry uhhh...Haru??? was it?? -He really needs to start remembering names...- Uhh sorry again!
Haruto kept coughing as his Pokémon cleared the smoke. "You really....need to be more careful..."
Crap- -He quickly whipped out his invisi watch only for it to short circuited- Shit-
Haruto jumped, trying not to fall back. "Leo! What th-ack! Murkrow!" He quickly through out his bird Pokémon blindly. "Clear this smoke!"
Finally! I did it! My smoke bomb is not a dud anymore,hyah! -He threw one to test it,only for it to wound up at the reader by accident and the smoke bomb sets off- ....crap....
"We're trying to get out... They're all too stupid to even realize I got the collar off him."
"Thats cause the Rocket you are a part of is shit..."
"...Good for you. No one has my back. I'm meant to protect Garnett. ...I want to. But no one is looking out for me. And I'm...I'm fine with that. I want to prove I can do it..."
He nodded to behind himself and a glint in a nearby tree. "I trust my Admins to protect me just in case."
"I'd rather try and make them fear and respect me up front. Not see a kid or...or anything besides the man I..." Damn it, he couldn't even say it. All the messed up things said to him today made it hard...
"Cause I can fuck with the minds of my enemies when I take my mother's electro whip out."
"Why would you want to hide them? Let people know they should take you seriously."
"It is better then a suit.. I can hide my weapons better."
"It's kind of hard when you look like the embodiment of everything I hate dressed like that..."
"I actually tried being nice to you originally... You kinda made me not want to do that."
"Why would I? I'm still trying to keep up with all this multiverse stuff. I'm only aware there is one because of you and Garnett. If I work for you why are you so nasty to me!?"
"Why?"
"Yeah. You mean of those damn kimonos, don't you?!"
"I meant I'd be your boss..."
He made an assumption from that. "There's no universe where I wouldn't stand up to her!"
"And in another universe being your boss."
JAMES: I'll rise so high on the Team Rocket ladder of success, you'll need a telescope to see me!
"You already piss me off enough by willingly looking like one of them! Reeking of that legendary! You don't need to rub salt in the wound!"
He pulls his fan out and uses it to hide his face, the scars from his birthmark becoming red. "Did I strike a nerve, Grunt?"
He couldn't help clutching his dagger for a moment, forcing himself to let it go. That HURT. His own hateful insecurities echoing in his mind. "I'm...don't call me that..."
"So you are that version of my brother's boy toy huh?"
Haruto was left shaking, trying not to curl in on himself. "...You don't know what I lived through..."
He kept walking forward, his hand reaching out. The world around them begins to blur, then pixelate. Haruto could only see the headless corpse in front of him, yet right as he was about to be grabbed... Red was gone. Seemingly vanished into thin air.
Haruto was shaking, still clutching the dagger like it would offer some safety. "STOP IT!"
He hops forward again. Getting closer. "I know your kind, they obsess over their revenge. Thinking that once they've hurt who they need to they can move on, they can be happy. But you know what happens once you win?" Red's body changes again.
