Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Pokémon World
"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites."

"Is everyone ready?" Roy asked, looking at the girls gathered in the hall of the estate.
Early that morning, Roy had instructed them to pack some essentials, as they would be camping outdoors in the Pokémon world to catch Pokémon.
They could buy camping gear there, but some items had to be brought from their own world.
"Ready!" the girls replied in unison.
"Rias, you seem to be in good spirits today. Is it because of last night's 'visit'?" Akeno teased, alluding to Rias nighttime rendezvous with Roy.
"That's not true!" Rias blushed.
Akeno giggled, enjoying Rias flustered reaction.
"Ara ara, how interesting. Perhaps I should pay Roy-kun a visit tonight as well," she mused with a playful smile.
"Absolutely not!" Rias declared, her hands on her hips.
Akeno laughed at her serious expression.
"Alright, Rias, Akeno, are you two ready?" Roy interjected, seeing their playful banter.
"Yes, we're ready!" they replied in unison, glancing at each other.
"Then let's depart."
Roy snapped his fingers with a grin.
A white light enveloped them, and they vanished.
...
Pokémon World.
Roy and the girls materialized in a dense forest.
"Where are we?"
"This is completely different from the Underworld. Is this the human world?"
The girls looked around curiously.
"Haha, this isn't the Underworld or the human world. It's the world of Pokémon," Roy explained briefly. "Now, let's head to town to buy some supplies, then we'll go catch some Pokémon."
The girls readily agreed.
Rias and Akeno, though puzzled by their surroundings, didn't voice their questions.
They followed the path towards the nearest town.
"Koneko-chan, come look! There's a caterpillar!" Alice exclaimed, pulling Koneko towards a bush where she had found a Caterpie with the three little girls from the Butterfly Mansion.
Koneko looked at the Caterpie with disgust. "How repulsive."
The other girls also gathered around to observe the creature.
"That's a big caterpillar!"
"It's so ugly..."
"It's quite plump. I wonder if it's edible."
...
The girls chattered excitedly about the Caterpie.
Roy's lips twitched. Someone actually wanted to *Eat* the Caterpie.
He saw that it was Shizuka who had made the comment.
It seemed Shizuka had become quite passionate about cooking lately, wanting to turn everything into ingredients.
Looking at the terrified Caterpie squirming under the girls' scrutiny, an idea struck Roy.
"Shinobu-san, Kanae-san, would you two like to make it your Familiar?" he asked with a mischievous grin.
"Eek!" Shinobu and Kanae shrieked in unison.
"No! Absolutely not!" they both exclaimed, shaking their heads vigorously.
"Are you sure? Their evolved form is quite beautiful," Roy tempted them.
The two girls shook their heads even more frantically.
"Look over there..." Roy pointed towards a flower patch behind a large tree.
The girls followed his gaze.
Several large butterflies danced among the flowers. They were Butterfree, the evolved form of Caterpie.
Butterfree had a dark purple body and large white wings with black veins.
Unlike real butterflies, they only had four legs, which were a pale turquoise color.
They were beautiful and somewhat adorable.
"Wow! Such beautiful butterflies!"
"They're so cute!"
"I want to catch one!"
...
The girls were captivated by the Butterfree's graceful appearance.
Roy smiled, pleased with their reaction. "They're quite lovely, aren't they?"
"Yes! I've decided to make one my Familiar. What do you think, Nee-san?" Shinobu asked Kanae, clearly smitten with the Butterfree.
"I agree. I love these butterflies too," Kanae replied, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Hehe, if I told you those butterflies evolved from caterpillars, would you still like them?" Roy teased.
"Eh?"
Not just Shinobu and Kanae, but all the girls were surprised.
Such beautiful butterflies evolved from caterpillars? They couldn't believe it, though they didn't doubt Roy's words.
Kanae and Shinobu looked at the squirming Caterpie with mixed emotions.
Did they really have to catch a caterpillar as a Familiar?
"Haha, although it's better to raise a Familiar from a young age, I suppose you can just catch the butterflies," Roy relented, seeing their conflicted expressions.
Shinobu and Kanae sighed in relief.
They had been worried that Roy would force them to take the Caterpie as their Familiars.
"But how do we capture them?" Shinobu asked eagerly.
"It's simple. Just defeat them."
"Defeat them?"
"Those butterflies don't seem very strong."
"Don't underestimate them. Those are Butterfree, Bug and Flying-type Pokémon," Roy explained.
"They have useful support moves like Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, and Poison Powder. If trained well, they can even affect High-Class Devils."
He briefly explained Butterfree's abilities.
Although not particularly powerful, Butterfree were still valuable Pokémon.
Rias, Akeno, and Koneko were surprised. Their Familiars were purely functional and couldn't be used in combat. They hadn't expected such beautiful butterflies to be capable of affecting High-Class Devils.
This piqued their interest in Pokémon.
Shinobu and Kanae, after hearing Roy's explanation, were eager to try their hand at capturing Butterfree.
They both attacked.
The Butterfree weren't very high-leveled, and within moments, nearly ten of them were defeated.
"Now, choose one each to become your Familiar," Roy said with a smile.
Shinobu and Kanae carefully selected the two Butterfree with the greatest potential and formed contracts with them.
Since the Butterfree had been defeated by them, the contract formation was smooth and effortless.
"Roy-onii-chan, I want a Butterfree too!" Alice pleaded, tugging at Roy's clothes and pointing at the defeated Butterfree.
The other girls also seemed interested.
Even Rias and Akeno were tempted.
Such beautiful and capable Familiars were rare in the Underworld.
"Haha, don't worry, Alice. There are many other beautiful and powerful Pokémon here," Roy reassured her, patting her head.
The girls abandoned the idea of capturing a Butterfree for now.
...
They arrived at the town.
It was Pallet Town.
To Roy's surprise, this was the hometown of Ash Ketchum, the protagonist of the Pokémon anime.
But he didn't dwell on it.
He led the girls on a shopping spree, purchasing various supplies.
He had obtained the money by selling some magic items.
The cultural differences between the two worlds were vast, so even a simple magic item could fetch an exorbitant price here.
After a day of shopping, they had acquired almost everything they needed.
Most importantly, they bought Pokédexes.
These devices contained information on almost every Pokémon, including their habitats.
This would allow them to target specific Pokémon.
Roy and his group left Pallet Town, planning to camp in the Viridian Forest that night and search for suitable Pokémon.
They found a flat grassy area beside a small river.
Roy decided to set up camp there.
He sent Saeko, Asia, and a few others to gather ingredients while he and Yuriko, Rika, and the others set up the tents.
By the time they finished setting up camp, Saeko and the others had returned.
Roy noticed that Asia was carrying a Pikachu.
"Asia, where did you get that Pokémon?" he asked curiously.
"I found it while picking fruits over there. It was injured," Asia explained, gently stroking the Pikachu.
"It's so cute! Asia-nee-san, can I pet it?" Alice asked, eager to touch the adorable creature.
Asia handed the Pikachu to Alice.
"Asia-nee-san, what's its name?" Alice asked as she petted the Pikachu.
"Well..."
"Its name is Pikachu," Roy interjected, taking out his Pokédex and scanning the Pikachu. He then handed the Pokédex to Asia.
The other girls gathered around to see.
Pikachu was the most iconic Pokémon.
Its adorable appearance was a favorite among girls.
And it was quite powerful.
In the original story, Ash had overcome many challenges with his Pikachu.
The girls were smitten after reading Pikachu's information.
"Since Asia found it and healed it, she can have it as her Familiar," Roy declared.
The girls had no objections.
Asia formed a contract with the Pikachu without hesitation.
They were quite lucky. Three of them had already found their ideal Familiars on their first day.
Just then, Shizuka, Akeno, and the others returned from their foraging expedition.
"Huff... It's so heavy!" Shizuka exclaimed, setting down a large bag and wiping the sweat from her brow.
"Shizuka, what did you bring back? It can't be that heavy, can it?"
"Hehe, I found some good stuff!" Shizuka replied with a proud grin.
"Look!"
She opened the bag, revealing several eggs the size of washbasins.
"Wow! Shizuka, where did you find these eggs?" Saya asked in surprise.
"Over there, hehe."
"Wait, these eggs..." Roy felt a sense of familiarity. He quickly took out his Pokédex and scanned one of the eggs.
"They're Chansey eggs!"
This meant there was a Chansey nearby. Roy was excited.
"Chansey?" Shizuka tilted her head, confused.
"Yes, Chansey. It's a rare wild Pokémon," Roy explained.
Chansey were incredibly rare. It was said that those who encountered them would be blessed with good fortune.
Chansey laid several eggs a day. These eggs were not only nutritious but also incredibly delicious.
Even those with no appetite couldn't resist them.
Moreover, consuming these eggs could heal injuries.
Many people sought to capture Chansey for their nutritious eggs, but they were rarely seen.
He hadn't expected Shizuka to stumble upon one.
"Shizuka, quickly take me to where you found the eggs. Your Familiar awaits," Roy said eagerly.
"Really?" Shizuka's eyes lit up.
She led Roy to the location where she had found the eggs.
However, there was no sign of Chansey.
It seemed Chansey hadn't returned yet, or perhaps it had left for some reason.
Roy and Shizuka searched the surrounding area.
To their surprise, they found Chansey collapsed in a thicket, covered in blood and with several claw marks on its body.
It seemed to have been attacked by other Pokémon.
The world of Pokémon wasn't as peaceful as depicted in the anime.
After a period of overhunting by humans seeking its eggs, Chansey had become incredibly rare.
Moreover, other Pokémon also preyed on Chansey, which was another reason for their scarcity.
"Shizuka, quickly heal it," Roy instructed.
"Oh, okay!"
Shizuka rushed forward and used her healing magic on Chansey.
Her healing abilities had improved significantly, and they were quite effective in treating external injuries like Chansey's.
Within moments, Chansey regained consciousness.
"Chansey~ Chansey~" Chansey chirped, its voice adorable. It looked at Shizuka with gratitude.
Once Chansey's injuries were fully healed, it started chirping frantically, waving its arms anxiously.
Shizuka, confused, looked at Roy.
"It seems it was being targeted by other Pokémon, and it's worried about its eggs," Roy deduced.
Chansey must have led the attacking Pokémon away to protect its eggs.
"Chansey~ Chansey~ Chansey~" Chansey's cries became even more urgent.
"Let's take it back to camp and return its eggs," Roy suggested.
Perhaps understanding his words, Chansey followed them as they headed back to their campsite.
Shizuka returned the eggs to Chansey.
"Chansey~ Chansey~" Chansey chirped happily, cradling the three eggs.
Its eyes were filled with motherly love.
Could these be more than just ordinary eggs? Roy wondered.
If they were just normal eggs, Chansey wouldn't be so worried.
Unless... these were Chansey's children!
If that was the case, then they had hit the jackpot.
Roy wouldn't mind having more of these rare Pokémon.
After a while, Chansey calmed down.
It bowed to Shizuka, expressing its gratitude for saving its life.
"Quick, Shizuka, ask it if it wants to be your Familiar," Roy urged.
"Ah, right!"
Shizuka asked Chansey, "Chansey, would you like to become my Familiar?"
"Chansey~ Chansey~"
Chansey tilted its head, chirping. Although it didn't understand Shizuka's words, it sensed her intentions.
After a moment of consideration, Chansey nodded.
After all, this human had not only saved its life but also its children's.
It had to agree.
