章 9: Chapter 9
I woke with a start and confusion. I quickly tried looking around to get an understanding as to where I was. Seeing that I was back into my room, I started to calm my fast beating heart. Having calmed down, I once again looked again and saw that my pokemon laid peacefully like usual on the other bed, but was also met with a pair of red eyes looking back at me. I smiled at the pokemon.
"Morning lucario. Were you the one to bring me back here?" I asked the jackal pokemon.
"Roawr." Was the answer I received along with a nod to which I smiled.
"Thank you buddy."
I started to stand up to do my usual routine and noticed that lucario had apparently also changed my clothes to my usual sleepwear consisting of my bike shorts and large hoodie. I turned and smiled gratefully at my friend and partner before heading to the bathroom to get ready for a new day, as well as our departure.
Having bathed and brushed my teeth, I exited the bathroom only clad in a towel and started to prepare my pokemons food as well as my own. Seeing as they had woken up, I gave them their food and told them that we were finally leaving the town.
Having eaten with my pokemon, I started to dress in a pair of tights, baggy ripped jeans, sneakers and a black cropped tank top with a pair of crossed pieces of fabric across the upper part of my stomach. I also pulled my usual coat over me before grabbing my bags and putting them on my shoulder, retrieving my pokemon and leaving with my usual two right next to me.
We exited the room and went to the front desk where nurse Joy was as always.
"Good morning nurse Joy." I greeted the woman.
"Good morning to you as well. What can I help you with today?"
"Im just here to give you the room key."
"Ah, so you have decided to resume your journey?"
"Yeah. We have already spent quite a few days here, so its time." I said with a grateful smile.
"Very well then, I will register you as having left. The money wil automatically be reducted from you trainer account."
"Thank you nurse Joy. Now if you excuse me, I have a final call to make before leaving." Receiving a nod and a smile, I headed to the video phone and typed in the professors number. The phone rung for a moment before the screen showed a picture of professor Oak eating a pack of instant noodles.
"You know, thats a pretty unhealthy breakfast, right professor?" I said with a teasing smile. The only response I got was a sheepish smile before he put down the cup noodles.
"Well what can I say, a man gotta eat." He said with a laugh.
"Now then, I take it you are ready to leave Pewter city?"
"Yeah, I just checked out of our room. I only had this call left before leaving."
"Good good. Now I wanna see the status of your team, so if you would place your pokeballs in the tray that is under the screen so that I can scan them." I nodded and complied.
I put my pokeball onto the tray that was basically a hidden compartement. I locked the compartement again and waited for Oak to speak again.
"My oh my. It seems that you have gotten a new member while away."
"Yeah, he had just been revived when he started to attack the scientists. We were just lucky that I had decided to visit the museum at that time."
"Indeed lucky. Well your team seems to be doing exceptionally well considering you are new to being a trainer."
"Thank you professor." I said as the tray once again came out. I took my pokeballs and fastened them to my belt before we quickly spoke about some mundane stuff and hung up.
I stood from the chair and started to head for the door along with my pokemon. We exited and started to walk on our way towards route 3.
- Timeskip a few hours.
We walked through route 3, seeing many different pokemon as we walked. But there was a pokemon that I had decided to get for my team. We soon entered the small forest surrounding the path towards mt. moon which led to a clearing. In this clearing we saw many pokemon to which I managed to take multiple pictures with my pokedex.
After taking photos, I decided to approach the herd. I walked slowly with my hands visible to show that I wasnt a threat. They were on guard the entire time until I stopped a distance away.
"Hello there. Im Rimuru and I wanted to ask if there is one of you who wants to join my team." I spoke softly but still in a tone so that they could hear me. They started to look around until we started to feel the ground shake.
From the foliage came a giant pokemon. A large, bipedal, purple mammalian Pokémon with distinct reptilian features. It has narrow eyes, large, spiny ears, fur-like tufts on its cheeks, and a short snout filled with pointed teeth. There is a long, venomous horn on its forehead and a ridge of spines down its back. Gray plates cover its chest and belly, and there is a gray, rounded spine on each elbow. Each hand has three claws, while each foot has only a single hoof-like nail. It has a long, powerful tail. It was a Nidoking that came to protect its herd of Nido`s.
I stood still, waiting for the pokemon to come forward. It seemed to observe me and my pokemon, almost as if scrutinizing us, but soon walked forward and stood in-between me and his herd.
"Hello Nidoking." I said and bowed my head. It seemed to accept this gesture as it bowed its own head.
"Like I told your herd, I want to see if any of them want to join my team. Be able to travel the world and become stronger than anyone else." I told the pokemon.
The pokemon seemed to contemplate my words, but without any of us noticing, a small Nidoran that seemed out of place was looking at us with great interest. While the nidoking thought over my words, a sound of crashing trees and footsteps could be heard approaching our position, so I quickly brought out my pokeballs and let my team out to help protect the pokemon here.
"All of you make sure to protect the wild pokemon. I wont be able to give commands to all of you, so make sure to use attacks that you fell would be the most effective." I told them. I received cries in acceptance from them and stood ready to give commands where I could at any moment.
Soon a herd of ryhorns came stampeding towards the group of pokemon in the clearing. They seemed to have a rivalry with the nidos.
"Quick victini, use blue flare to take as many as you can."
"Lucario, agility then close combat."
"Swinub, ancient power."
"Charmander, dragon breath."
"And Cranidos, use focus energy then fire the hottest flamethrower you can."
I ordered my pokemon. Victini created a blue ball of fire and directed it to the ryhorn at the front of the herd. It caused a small explosion that took out over five of them. Lucario stood beside me and was using agility continuously. Swinub used ancient power and threw a bunch of huge rock at the incoming pokemon which caused massive damage. Charmander had charged up a dragon breath which he shot in a horizontal arc, taking out a fair chunk of the opposing force. Cranidos had meanwhile focused all his energy and had fired the flamethrower straight at the stampeding herd. Lucario finally finished using agility and rushed in with high speed and started to beat down on the ryhorn. At the corner of my eyes I could see the nidoking fighting against a rhydon which i presume is the leader of this attack. The herd tried to retaliate with a variety of rock type moves, but my pokemon easily dodged or deflected them.
The fight lasted less than half an hour and we ended up being victorious. I helped heal nidoking and went to my own pokemon and started to praise them. However I didnt expect both swinub and charmander to start glowing. It seemed that they were evolving even though it hadnt been long since I got them on my team, but then again they trained hard every day and fought many wild pokemon. The light shonebrighter and brighter until it finally dispersed showing two new pokemon.
The first was a big pile of brown fur. This was Piloswine, the evolution of swinub. It was 1.6 m tall.
The next was a reptilian pokemon. It had a golden color with a bright red flame on its tail. He was 1.7 m tall. This was the evolved form of charmander, charmeleon.
"Well look at that. The two of you evolved. It seems that I will have to up your training from now on." I said, causing the two to shiver to which I just laughed.
I suddenly felt a tug at my pants only to look down to see a small, quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon. It is pinkish purple with darker patches. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, oversized front teeth, and red eyes. Its back is covered with three lines of large spines. The center line of spines is taller than the other two. It was a small Nidoran♂. I knelt down to him and started to pat his head.
"Hey there little guy. Whats up?"
"Nido nido!" I called while pointing its nose towards my pokemon who were just talking between themselves.
"Hmm? You wanna train with them?" It shook its head and jumped into a position where it stood with its back against me. I got an idea.
"Could it be that you wanted to fight alongside us while traveling?" I asked with a sly grin on my face. This question got the nidoran to quickly nod its head.
"You will have to ask your leader first. I dont want to be an enemy." I told the pokemon who just ran toward the nidoking. I looked over and saw the nidoran jump around, explaining to the pokemon its intentions. The nidoking looked towards me and nodded at me. I nodded back and nidoran returned to me. I pulled out a pokeball and held it out to the pokemon who just bopped its nose to the button before being sucked into the ball.
"Welcome to the family."
