I wakeeeee. Yes! I'm awake in a bed and next to me is the sleeping form of my "trainer".
I quickly check the status of my Sparky, she's still the same and still in stasis. I'm not going to summon her here, I'm not sure how to explain a fish in her bed out of water. Also I have a feeling that she might just up and suffocate on me.
I promise Sparky when I get the chance I'm going to let you out and chuck a potion on you for good measure. I'll even try to find a way to stash some human food for you to enjoy!
“Pssst, over here little man”
I turn to stare at Anna who is on the bed opposite us.
“Ha! I knew you understood me. Smarter then you let on. Now how does a Black zone Pokémon who has supposedly never seen a human before know our language? Hmmmm”
I begin to sweat in my little metaphorical shorts. We stare at each other for a long time. Jess wakes up to us glaring at each other. I turn to Jess and give her the 1 2 puppy dog eyes.
“Anna, you are not bullying my little guy now are you?”
Anna just sighs and looks away
“No, just having a little chat is all. I still think he’s pretty creepy, too intelligent by half.”
Jess just laughs it off
“You are just jelly that I got my own Pokémon before you did. Stop giving him such a tough time. He’s just a liddle baby.”
I nod in acknowledgement and state sagely “Seeeel!”
Anna points accusingly
“Right there! See, he understands you!”
Jess just smiles again doing a complete 360 as she gushes “Isn’t that wonderful, he’s just that smart! Who’s a smart little man!”
She proceeds to smother the hapless teddy bear with cuddles and kisses.
STAHP! I wiggle as hard as I can to get out of her grasp, however she has the grip of a Machop bodybuilder, it’s seriously insane…. What do they feed kids these days?
The girls get dressed and we proceed to my favourite place on the ship. Yep… the dining room.
Not willing to have a repeat of the last time we were here Jess keeps a firm grip on me at all times. Dag nabbit… but look at all that food.
However, before I can get too upset Jess walks up to the buffet table and loads up a plate of food. Ohhh scrambled eggs, I know what those are. Sausages! Yesss yes yessss!!!
We head back to the table and awaiting me on the floor is… mush. Pokémon mush… um… excuse me… HELLOOOO
Jess contentently eats her food at the table above me, ignoring my plight.
Only one thing to do. I pick up the bowl and YEET it with my mouth. The loud clang of the metal hitting the ground and the food going everywhere but into my stomach should be a clear indication that I'm not going to eat that shit.
Jess looks down to see .. a mess…. And me. I’m staring right back at her. I point with my flipper at the table above and her food.
“No, this isn’t Pokémon food. I’m pretty sure it’s bad for you.”
I hit her with my puppy dog eyes… to no effect.
Well… I guess there’s no other option left for me.
I start to wail at the top of my little lungs “SEEL SEEL SEEL SEEL SEEL SEEL SEEL”
I continue on for what seems an eternity.
An annoyed trainer walks up and scruffs me, looks me in the eye and then looks at the bowel on the ground.
Jess shouts at him angrily. “Give him back”
The trainer responds by plopping me on the ground “As long as you shut him up I've got no problem. We are trying to eat with some peace and quiet here.”
With that he stomps off. Jess looks at me with annoyance for the first time in our new relationship. She goes to pick up the bowl and puts it back where it was. It takes her a moment and I suck in a deep breath preparing to escalate my demands with louder cries. That was all I needed to do to tip the scales in my favour.
“FINE, she scoops the food off my plate and into the bowl.”
I’m not really a fan of eating like a dog but… beggars can’t be choosers. I happily munch down on my… or her …. Whatever is not important… serving of breakfast. Content that I don’t have to eat Pokémon slop. Next time if she tries to do that I'm going to sneak some of the food onto her plate and see what she thinks of that crap. Another reason for me to try to gain some telekinetic powers.
I’m pretty sure i’m not a ghost or fairy pokémon however that doesn’t mean i’m not a prankster. You mess with me and you are going to get the horns…. horn?
Anna just ignores our antics and daintily eats her meal. She thinks she’s better than us. Can’t have that now can we. I grab a sausage and flick it at the back of her head.
“What the hell Jess, what was that for?”
Jess has no idea what Anna is talking about. I busily giggle to myself.
Both girls turn to look down at me. I just give them the most innocent smile I can muster. Doesn’t look the best considering I still have food stuffed into my mouth.
“Jess, I've got a great idea. Since your Seel seems so smart, why don’t we ask to use him in a Pokémon battle for training purposes?”
I have a bad feeling about this. There seems to be something that I don’t understand but I'm keen to kick anybodies arse. They are in for a nasty surprise as long as you don’t make me fight a Pokémon way above my level.
“Sure, sounds like a good idea. I’m sure he will give me that win I've been chasing.”
That sounds to me like Jess has never won against her friend. … Oh… this might not be so fun, her Pokémon must be strong… wait… doesn’t Anna not have a starter yet. Something is definitely fishy.
With those thoughts running through my head Jess scoops me up and heads for the training hall where Kabu is waiting with a few trainers and… a bloody film crew? Why is there a camera man here?
“Good I see you brought your new capture. Let's try to see what abilities he has”
Anna interrupts Kabu “Sorry Kabu, but Jess wanted to battle him to see if he’s got what it takes to be a fighter”
Kabu looks at the Seel. “I personally don’t think he’s ready, he’s too young and I doubt he has a great amount of experience fighting. But if you say so, let's start him off with a basic 1v1 battle.
Anna, could you please pick a Pokémon to use from the table. You can only pick numbers….”
Kabu quickly checks his list.
“1, 4 or 6 are all suitable for him to fight against”.
Anna quickly approaches the bench and grabs the number 1 ball, 5 minutes pass with the trainer whilst Jess just stares at me.
“Trainers, ready?”
I am placed upon the battle stage and Jess quickly whispers to me “Good luck, just do your best.”
Kabu frowns as the Seel isn’t released from a Pokéball but merely standing on the field, a look of determination on his little face.
“Begin”
Anna throw her Pokéball out and from the ball comes a little familiar Oddish. The oddish looks around then lays it’s eyes on me. It gives a little giggle and awaits Anna’s commands.
“Oddish set the field.”
I just passively watch and wait to see if Jess has any instructions for me. However she doesn’t know my moves and just shouts what comes to mind. “Go with strategy number 1!”
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
I honestly have no idea what she means by that but it works fine for me. I use focus energy and when the Oddish is instructed to get close to me and use a stun spore I act. I fling a PHYSIC at her Oddish. The little Pokémon promptly gets blasted backwards and then collapses, unable to get up and is recalled into Anna Pokéball.
*DING - exp awarded, other Pokémon is unable to battle*
Everybody watching is stunned. That is until one excited trainer starts jumping up and down. Yesssss I finally won the gamble. Gimme my betting monayyyyy!!.
Kabu just coughs and looks at me for a while. Meanwhile Jess runs onto the platform and scoops me up in a big hug.
“Good job Jess, I'm not too sure what that attack was since it was invisible to my eyes. I think we might have severely underestimated the firepower the little fella packs.”
Anna, I want you to pick a Pokéball from 2, 3 or 5.
Jess, is your Pokémon still good to continue battling? Jess looks towards me and places me back down. “Show her hell!”
Another 5 minutes pass and then Anna indicates she is ready to begin.
“This is a 1v1 battle, trainers ready?” each girl waves “BEGIN”
Anna throws out another Pokémon, it is a Houndour and he seems far more alert then that pushover Oddish was.
“Smokescreen into ember!” “.... errrr, combo number 2!”
Again with the weird instructions. I guess since I don’t understand her then no one else will question my moves either?
I quickly clump some dirt into a pile and then place a rock on the top. All whilst getting hit by little bits of fire. It does little to damage me though. I just wait it out and either the pup is going to run out of MP or he is going to have to do something else.
Anna realises that the ember has little effect and the Seel refuses to move from his little pile of dirt. “Okay Houndour close the distance with a quick attack into a bite”.
Yeah there’s no way I'm going to let that mangy mutt bite me. I don’t want to get rabies. I wait as the dog rushes out from the smoke and I just stare at him and for good measure start to use defence curls and focus energy. Once he is close enough I take aim and smash the rock directly into the silly dog's face with a ROCK BULLET.
I hear a YIP of pain as the rock hits him right between the eyes. As he takes his eyes off of me I quickly use dig into the loose soil beneath me.
The Houndour looks to find me after it shut its eyes in pain but all he can see is a pile of disturbed dirt. He continues to run in circles looking for me whilst Anna shouts to him. “He’s used dig, he’s beneath you!”
“Get him Seel!” I spring out and successfully land a headbutt which critically hits him due to successfully using ambush. I knock him over as he flinches. And quickly end things with a Headbutt as he struggles to stand back up.
*DING - Exp awarded other Pokémon is unable to battle*
If the last battle was a surprise, this time the reporters go completely crazy.
“Are you kidding me… He just used DIG and some sort of rock attack! What a deceptively strong Pokémon!”
Kabu is also speechless and Anna just has a huge frown on her face.
“Well this just feels like some massive Deja Vu. I think that I've MASSIVELY underestimated that little critter. Good job Jess with coming up with a unique fighting style suited to your new Pokémon.”
Jess just looks at me with surprise and joy. She and I both know that she had no strategy at all. It was all meeee!! She picks me back up from the stage and whispers so only I can hear.
“You can have all the human food you want if you just keep on doing what you are doing, clearly you know how best to get strong so i’ll just support you along the way”
