I opened the creaking door to my house, although a house is an overstatement, it's made of thin metal plates that barely protect from cold or heat making it unbearable to live in.
After coming in I see Fern, he is taller than and has green hair ending below his shoulders, he has a rather feminine appearance. Together we are Co-Leader of a small crime group operating in the slums, for most of us crime is the only option, not like I wouldn't choose crime in different circumstances. I quite like it. We take care of illegal alcohol production and theft, anything really to get by. He is playing with his galarian Zigzagoon.
“I’m back, Fern.” I released my Trubbish and sat on the sofa.
“How was it Winter?” He let our pokemons play with each other and sat beside me.
“Not much, minor theft isn't doing it, we have too many people for the two of us to be able to support it, we have to get our apparatus working somehow.”
“Bish, bish!” I looked over and saw Mia, that's the name of my Trubbish, tackling Fern’s Zigzagoon. She’s just so goddamn cute, Arceus really went all out in creating Trubbishes, she always makes me smile.
“How about we bring others into it? They can't do anything else without the devices.”
I shake my head, “It's too dangerous, only Maple has a pokemon to protect herself and she isn't good at being threatening. No, we have to step up our game, there's a tobacco shop in the Riverside District, the owner is also a shopkeep and most likely has keys to the safe. I think theft is the only way we can afford the repairs.”
“We will do it then, let's go to our base and inform the others. Come Zigi.” He said as he recalled his pokemon.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

When we arrived at our base, a place with our equipment and a few chairs, we saw Maple, Luna and Kai having a conversation. Maple is a short girl with brown eyes and long, curly and blond hair. She's also eighteen since last month leaving only me and Kai underaged to my annoyance. Luna is 19 years old, the oldest of us, she is the tallest besides Fern, she has short brown hair and blue eyes. Kai is sixteen and while the other two take care of producing alcohol, he is the one selling it. We will get him a pokemon given the occasion since he has the most dangerous job besides me and Fern.
Fern started presenting our plan to others, “Hey guys, we thought about our situation and decided we need to do something.”
Luna sat straighter, “Finally, I was tired of sitting on my ass all day, what's the plan?"
“We will perform a heist on a shop-”
I interrupted, “A tobacco shop, so it’s battling addiction if you think about it.”
Fern gave me a long look and said, “Thanks Winter. As I was saying, we will do a heist, Me, Winter and Maple will go in, take the stuff and get out. Luna and Kai will wait in a back alley like three streets away, we then split money between you two and you go back to our base.
We will meet there after we make sure we have no tail”
He put his hand on Kai’s head and ruffled his hair, “Be careful kid.” he smiled.
Kai shoved Fern’s hand, “Stop that! And I'm only two years younger than you!”
He chuckled, “We have to get our pokemons ready, in two hours we will go there.”
I released Mia, “Hey cutie, you ready? You will be the most important here.” I picked her up on my lap and started petting her.”
Others released their pokemons as well, Maple has a Mudkip, we actually stole him from some rich, abusive kid otherwise we could never afford such rare pokemon, pokeballs themself require a lot of pokedollars we just can't sacrifice, does not help that a company producing pokeballs has a monopoly on them. But that's just life in Mewport, undesirable people get pushed out of view. I was lucky enough to get an education before my parents died and I had to go here.
