Chapter 21 – Musical Mayhem
It was the following morning of the next day that I woke up bright and early. I had a busy schedule planned for us. Firstly, I needed to find a move tutor for Numsy. The little camel needed to learn a more powerful ground type move, second on our schedule was purchasing a ticket for the battle subway and thirdly I was planning to take Rena and Victini to go see a musical show at the local theater.
I let out my team to go through our morning routine to...

Chapter 20 – Old Veteran
The following morning the uproar, inside the camp, had calmed down somewhat. Professor Hawes and his wife heard about the little skiff with my newly acquired Darmanitan. Hawes gave me an earful about camp safety procedures, apparently the expedition crew brought along a lot of sensitive equipment, so it wasn’t appreciated that I commenced a Pokémon battle in the middle of the campsite. Lenora displayed some type of resigned indignation scolding me for my se...

Chapter 19 – Skittering Showdown
“Okay Rena just like we discussed; watch out for its acid attacks, if you can dodge that and keep your distance we should be golden.”
I pulled out my Pokédex to see if the gadget had anything more to add.
Shelmet, the Snail Pokémon.
Shelmet can spit a sticky poisonous acid when attacking, and it can defend itself by closing its shell.
It has a strange physiology that responds to electricity. When toge...

Chapter 18 – Everything for Fashion
The inside of the room was filled with paints and silk threads. Obviously spun by all the various bug types that call this gym their home. There wasn’t a single spot in this atelier that was not covered by these two things. Burgh obviously favored Blues and greens the most, but he didn’t hesitate to spruce things up with a dash of pink and yellow.
‘Burgh is probably the most famous of the major Unovan gym leaders second only to Brycen th...

Chapter 17 – Eggcellent Surprise
“So, you are saying this place is around twenty-five hundred years old? Fascinating, and you kept the tower above us away from scrutiny up until this point?”
“It was determined to be the most prudent decision to make. Our creators, the humans who first lived inside this castle, gave us this mission before moving away to escape the desertification.”
“You two have been living here all this while, doesn't it get bori...

Chapter 16 – Tower Secrets
It has been two days since our little adventure inside Relic Castle. The scientists were ecstatic to finally be able to venture inside the ruins, without being victimized by the ghosts inhabiting that place. I have also been spending a good amount of my time inside the ruins mostly hanging out with the Cofagrigus inside the treasure room. This Pokémon is the first ghost-type I could kind of get along with. Me translating what’s written on his plate has en...

Chapter 15 – Treasure Hoax
It has been a week since Lenora captured that Darmanitan. Only four more days to go until my gym battle with Burgh. My team and I have been spending most of our time practicing moves in the desert.
Victini took to the training really well. She is learning moves twice as fast as the rest of my team and even came up with one on her own. By cloaking herself with her own flames and smashing into her target dealing moderate damage. After using that move, Vi...

Chapter 14 – Proving Worth
Both women are stunned by my declaration before Lenora eventually responded to my challenge.
“I am sorry to say this young man, but I am on a work sabbatical. You will have to take the exam just like everybody else to earn that gym badge.”
‘We are already being underestimated from the get-go? Did she just assume I couldn’t ace her ridiculous written test?’
Numsy wasn’t having it though I did promise him a battle against Lenora j...

Chapter 13 – Blast from the Past
“Yes, my name is Aurea Juniper nice to meet you. My father told me about you, the trainer from Hoenn that can’t compete in the Vertress conference but still decided to start his journey in Unova regardless.”
“Yep, that’s me plain old trainer from Hoenn looking to make his mark here in Unova.”
“The next part of our conversation is best kept private, may I?” She motioned her hand to indicate her request for entering the room.<...

Chapter 12 – Show and Tell
“A special someone you say? Now I am intrigued, show me this mysterious stranger of yours Egon.”
I zipped open my bag and tried coaxing Victini out of her safe space.
“It’s okay Professor Juniper is a really nice person you can trust him. When this is over, we can all go out for ice cream. Castelia City is famous for its frozen desserts.”
Slowly Victini emerged out of the backpack. First her pointy ears and then the rest of her bo...

Chapter 11 – Liberating a Friend
The following morning, I was woken up by an overly excited little camel. Numsy kept jumping on the bed excited at the prospect of meeting a new friend.
“Calm down Numsy. I am happy too, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves breakfast first and some shower time for me.”
“Nuuum!”
The mention of food always tempered his excitement enough to get him to focus on what needed to be done at the moment. I prepared our breakfast for th...

Chapter 10 – Familial Trouble
We decided to spend around a week training on route 3. Sunny day is not a move you can use inside city confines without special permission. Rena was pumped, still riding the high of her first major victory. Numsy on the other hand carried this forlorn look his loss against the Panpour still bothering him.
“Numsy it’s okay bud you did well in in the gym match. You know water type moves are one of your few weaknesses.”
“Num num…”

Chapter 9 – Small steps
Katarina and I released our Pokémon at the same time. Numsy came out on my side of the field and on her side a scruffy doglike Pokémon materialized in a flash of light. Naturally I took this opportunity to again make use of my brand new Pokédex.
Lillipup, the puppy Pokémon.
The long hair covering lillpup’s face is an excellent radar which senses conditions in the surrounding area. This Pokémon is far brighter than the average chi...

Chapter 8 – Red-hot Comrade
It is truly a wonderous sight, seeing my little sister receive her first Pokémon. She couldn’t contain her happiness, and she was showering Horsea with affection. Nurse Joy was secretly taking photos of this happy moment. We wordlessly communicated with each other, and I knew that I could count on her to save those pictures for my scrapbook collection.
“Calm down Zinnia we still need to go over the details. Since you are not ten years old yet, Ho...

Chapter 7 – Fishy Friend
“Sshhh you are scaring the water Pokémon away. Wait until I pull in my next catch before you start talking to me.”
Finding no counterargument to his solid reasoning I sat down next to him and stared at the churning waters. His Frillish seemingly content to do the same. Normally I would never get close to any ghost types however, my pressing need overrides any compunction I have for the irksome spectres.
We just sat there and stared at the open...

Chapter 6 – Revelations
The platter was picked clean by the time Fennel came back from whatever she was busy with. Numsy somehow managed to eat himself into a food coma and I was not looking forward to cleaning up the ashes left behind in his wake. He will eventually wake up to a sugar rush and literally burn up the extra calories filling the room with smog. Rena lost her appetite after seeing Numsy go to town, so she was scouring the waiting room taking in her new surroundings.

Chapter 5 – Hello Unova!
Two years have passed since I caught Rena. Today I become eligible to receive my trainer’s license. Officially marking me as an adult in this society and allowing me to participate in the Evergrande conference. Strangely enough even being an adult legally didn’t allow me to buy cigarettes or alcohol not that I was planning to. I have spent months planning out my journey calculating out expenses for food, survival gear and transport costs. If all goes accor...

Me and Phoebe made our way towards the eastern slope of the summit since it was still early in the morning the sun rising would be in clear view after we got away from this nebulous mist. As we were walking, I had her clear up some misunderstandings I had about ghost types.
“What so you are saying drifloon don’t kidnap children?”
“Well… they do but only those who are abused by their caretakers. The accumulated negative energy is very nutr...

Chapter 3 – Weeping Mountain
It has been a year since I’ve started working part time at the gym, Numsy and I were not allowed to partake in battles, but we have learned much from our seniors at the gym. Mr. Moore was impressed by my work ethic, so he promised to sponsor me when I received my trainer’s license at age ten. A sponsorship generally entails some stipend for food expenses and paid lodging when a Pokémon Center was not available or had run out of rooms. Additionally, wh...

Trying to find the source of my sleep deprivation I open up my bedroom window and spot a redhead looking for another pebble to throw.

There was no great struggle before death. I just went to bed tired of a day’s work and after I woke up. I couldn’t recognize my surroundings anymore.
At first, I had no idea what was going on. All I could perceive were spotty images in the form of human silhouettes infants have terrible eyesight.
