Kapitel 15: Chapter 15

When we entered the room, it was quite a surprising sight for me. It was quite large and there were several pictures with photos of some people and Pokémon, where mom also appeared, although the pink color was not entirely to my liking. It's incredible that there's a very large flat-screen TV, and three others that were smaller but not too small. Air conditioning, a computer that seems to be from a fairly high range, a bed that looked quite comfortable with a Poké Ball design, several trophies on some shelves, a refrigerator, and it seemed that there was also a microwave.

My room before being reborn wasn't even half as big as this room. I couldn't resist and jumped on the bed after turning back into my Zorua form. It was incredibly soft, much better than sleeping in the burrow.

"Buneary! (I want to do it too!)", shouted my sister excitedly and jumped on the bed as I had done.

But unlike me, instead of just lying down, she started jumping up and down until she ended up hitting her head on the ceiling with a jump.

"Are you okay?" I was a little concerned, but all I could hear was mom's slight laughter, finding what happened quite amusing.

"Buneary (I'm fine)", although she seemed a little annoyed.

Swadloon climbed up and seemed quite interested in the materials the bed covers were made of.

Mom approached the fridge and took out a bag that had some brown cubes before opening it and putting them on the bed.

Mom ate one of the cubes and my sister was quite curious to see what mom ate and put one in her mouth, and the same happened with Swadloon.

"Buneary! (Delicious!)" She didn't stop putting them in her mouth after eating the first one.

Swadloon seemed to love them and couldn't stop eating them, looking like she wanted to cry with happiness.

I was quite curious and also started eating from the bag, and they were indeed delicious. Finally, I could eat something; I've been very hungry and the only thing I've eaten was an ice cream.

"Lopunny (Do you want to see something amazing?)", said mom and my sister got excited to hear it. "Buneary (Yes!)"

She got on the bed with us and picked up a remote control before turning on the TV, and then many things appeared on the screen that looked similar to turning on a Smart TV in my world, and she selected an app called PokeTube before playing one of the many videos that appeared.

I could see my sister's eyes starting to shine as she watched the screen, while Swadloon looked quite unconcerned.

After a few seconds of mom playing some videos, we heard a deafening scream that seemed to come from one of the speakers.

"Welcome to this spectacular battle!!!", a blond man came out wearing sunglasses for some reason, and I had to watch as my sister had to cover her ears due to the loud noise.

"I am your beloved host Prexul! Your greatest and most extraordinary Pokémon presenter! But enough about me! Because I'm completely sure that everyone came to witness the battle of the Gym of the city of Harmonity."

"So without further ado, let me introduce our young challenger! Max!!!" My sister had to cover her ears again even though mom had already lowered the volume quite a bit.

The video focused on a man entering the battle arena with spiky green hair and started waving to the audience "A quite young guy with twenty-four years old and quite a synergy with Plant-type Pokémon who will try to earn his seventh badge!"

Then the video focused on the presenter who seemed much more excited than before.

"On the other side, we have the spectacular Gym Leader of the city of Harmony!!! MELISA!!!!! They focused on a woman who came out wearing a mask that completely covered her face and wearing a full-body sports suit that was gray and black with the same logo that was at the entrance of the gym.

She didn't greet the audience and just went straight to the battle arena pokemon where a referee started explaining the rules.

"The winner will be the first to defeat the three Pokémon of their opponent, or the one who manages to land an attack that can destroy the opponent trainer's shield, only two Pokémon can be used at the same time, lethal moves are prohibited on the opponent trainer, and the battle will begin after the countdown ends. That's all!"

Both Max and Liza bowed before moving to the ends of the battle arena pokemon.

Is attacking trainers allowed? That revelation was quite surprising.

We saw how the referee moved away from the battle arena before a countdown began, in which the whole audience started cheering:

let's go!

After it started, Max took out two Poké Balls from which came out a Tropius and a Torterra.

Liza only took out one Poké Ball and a Zangoose came out.

"Tropius started flying to launch <Leaf Tornado> while Torterra remains in position, What will Zangoose do to deal with Tropius' <Leaf Tornado>?!"

Zangoose remained in position and when the <Leaf Tornado> was about to hit him, he raised his arms before launching an attack in the shape of an X.

"Zangoose dispersed the <Leaf Tornado> move using <X-Scissor>" After the presenter said that, something surprising happened.

Whips appeared under Liza threatening to trap her, but she simply jumped several meters high and started dodging the whips very easily and then used her hands to cut them and at the same time Zangoose used Quick Attack before jumping towards Tropius and when he was close enough he threw a slash with his claws at Tropius' neck which made him end up knocking him down and falling to the ground.

When all that happened, the opponent tried to take out another Poké Ball, but Liza suddenly appeared several meters away from him in an instant and hit him in an instant and when she was completely close to his body, she punched him in the stomach which ended up breaking some kind of barrier that covered Max and he fainted.

Everything in the video fell into deep silence before cheers began to be heard.

"It's a complete victory for the Gym Leader of the city of Harmony!!!"

Is that all?

"Torterra didn't even have time to react before Melisa ended up knocking out her trainer, even I felt the blow and I wasn't even the one who received it! It's a pity that Max didn't even give us the opportunity to witness his Plant-type powers and it was also a complete crushing defeat by Zangoose to Tropius! But this clearly shows Max's complete inexperience in battling alongside his Pokémon! Let's hope he gives a better battle in the next three years!!!"

"The total time of the battle was one minute and thirty-nine seconds! The fastest victory this season! It's a pity, but the show must go on"

"Next challenger, please!"

Mom stopped the video and I could only react with disbelief at seeing the result.

"Lopunny (Zorua, being a Pokémon trainer won't be easy and you must become strong enough so that no one can hurt you and break your illusion in the middle of a battle and that you can be seen in front of many people. Do you still want to become a trainer?)"

It sounds quite difficult, but it's not impossible either, besides, it sounds fun to try at least. It's much better than becoming someone else's Pokémon having my memories as a human, and I always wanted to be a Pokémon trainer when I played video games, but it was something impossible to be in real life. So how am I going to waste the opportunity they gave me to fulfill that childhood dream in my other life?

"Yes, besides, I already have my two starter Pokémon," I transformed into Rimuru and hugged my sister and Swadloon, who were just looking at me with confusion for what I mentioned.

"Buneary (Are we your first Pokémon?)", my sister asked with doubts.

"Yes," I replied flatly.

"Swadloon (Can I keep eating these things if I become your Pokémon?)", she pointed to the bag with the cubes we were eating.

"Yes, it's very easy to please her."

"Buneary (Why can't it be the other way around?)"

"You can't disguise yourself as a human." When she heard me, she seemed to have a realization look and said "Buneary (Okay)" and continued eating the cubes that were still left in the bag.

"I already have my first two Pokémon, so I just have to catch them with a Poké Ball and problem solved."

"Lopunny (You still need Liza's help if you want to obtain the identity of a Pokémon trainer)"

"I have you as a backup, so there won't be any problem," I said with a triumphant smile and mom just sighed and agreed with what I said.

A few minutes after we stayed watching food and Pokémon videos that Buneary and Swadloon were watching on their respective TVs, we heard someone knocking on the door.
