I laid there in blissful sleep for long moments till my pokegear decided that waking me up on my school alarm would be a 'nice' idea, which this alarm was set to six in the morning. At which it played Tower raven. I opened a very tired and irritated eye and swiftly pressed the dismiss button without even looking with a middle finger flipping it off in the process. Die! I thought as I dismissed the alarm, and closed my eye a moment later to try to continue sleeping. Thankfully the alarm didn't wake my pokemon, being that I went back to blissful sleep. Though, I did wonder why the hell it was even on.
About four more hours later I began to wake up, I opened somewhat groggy eyes and looked down a little bit, almost checking if I was somehow dreaming even though I couldn't, as I looked Nesia still sleeping, looking actually quite adorable, which brought a tired warm smile from me. I looked up a little bit and looked at Elora coming up with the same thought and continuing the warm smile. I just laid there sleepily smiling warmly slowly closing my eyes again, just enjoying the morning warmth of the bed not wanting to move because of how comfortable I was. "Oh the glorious warmth of the morning being in a incredibly comfortable bedding. Almost nothing like it." Psycho said, contentedness in his tone.
Indeed my friend, ever so true. I thought happily. And I never have to deal with the bullshit of school.
"And thus being the best part."
Yep. I thought, though sadly this was going to end at some point shortly.
A few minutes later Nesia slowly fluttered her eyes open with a smile. Loving the comforting warmth and the incredible softness she's had the pleasure to sleep upon being this bed, then snuggled into the spot she was laying upon. I opened my eyes again and looked down slightly and saw that Nesia finally awoken as she looked up at me with a smile.
"Snivy." Nesia said saying a somewhat groggy good morning.
"Morning." I said quietly my voice sounding rather deeper then my normal voice and a bit graveled continuing my warm smile. I don't give a shit who says a snake can't look cute. I've seen more then enough proof saying otherwise, even now. I thought remembering some of the images of some of the snakes and other reptiles I have seen. Especially the ball python with a tiny birthday hat, that one just looked adorable.
I lifted my head up to look at the night stand to see a alarm clock I never noticed. It read 9:06 am from what I could make out from the blurring of my nearsightedness. Now knowing the time I laid my head back down. My god, I love this bed... I thought happily closing my eyes for a moment.
"Snivy sniv?" Nesia asked wondering if I was going to keep sleeping.
"Maybe...but I know my body won't let me." I said rather quietly, my voice normalizing a little bit as I began opening my eyes back up to look at my little snake pokemon.
"Sni, snivy sniv snivy." Nesia said, saying that we could just lie in the bed and watch more videos.
"...Might as well." I said thoughtfully, seeing not much else to do and liking the idea to a good degree. "Though I really don't wanna move." I admitted with a smile and a light chuckle. At that comment she gave a somewhat groggy smile with a "really?" look at me as I carefully went about grabbing my glasses, then putting them on. She then leaned up and sent out her vines to gently bring up the keyboard and mouse. As she did this I leaned my head up watching, then noticed something with the vine carrying the mouse, which caused me to raise a brow as I furrowed them. The little slender bulb at the end was open, kind of like a four leafed pedal of a flower with little tendrils like you'd see in some species of flowers. This caused me to go wide eyed a bit. That's new.
"Le fook?" Psycho said equally confused and interested as I was.
"This is...rather intriguing." Vlad said genuinely interested by the fact as the two items were placed by my side. I sat up carefully adjusting the keyboard and the mouse for my use. I pressed a random button to bring the computer out of sleep mode and brought up the pandora tab. I went back to youtube, and adjusted the volume a bit so the sound wouldn't wake up the other two sleeping, though keeping it so me and Nesia can still hear fairly well.
"...Soooo....when the fuck was that a thing with grass types? Having the Na'vi hair tendril things?" Psycho asked rather perplexed using Avatar as reference.
I'd love to know myself...I'd like to look this shit up now, but she'll see that being weird as hell seeing me pop up a wiki about Snivys... I thought, very tempted.
"True...let's, continue with what we're going to do." Vlad suggested.
Yeah... I agreed and popped up a video from one of my subscribed youtubers to kill some time.
One twenty something minute video later Keldra finally woke up, then heard a somewhat quiet scream, then sat up curious.
I looked over to her, noticing movement in my peripherals, afterwards giving her a soft smile. "Morning." I said then looked back at the video playing.
It still amazes me how calm I've been about my situation... I thought, a hint of dread to the thought.
"Seriously. Plus not dealing with any trainers on the way here or had to do one battle of any sort. I find that rather odd." Vlad noted thoughtfully.
I do as well, but I'm not going to fucking complain about it. I thought actually glad I didn't have to battle anything. Then a few minutes later Elora finally woke up as did my appetite surprisingly, usually it takes a while for it to even start up in the morning. Elora sat up stretching and turned then looked at me with a smile. "Good morning master Will." She said.
I looked at her then smiled lightly. "Morning Elora." I replied, then I looked about my three pokémon. "Sooo...anyone hungry?" I asked, which they replied with a yes and began getting up and out of bed. "Alrighty then." I remarked as I got out of bed as well, grabbing my coat and wore it kind of like a cloak with the sleeves trailing behind me as I walked to the door since I was starting to get a little cold.
We walked downstairs as I helped Keldra and went down by two steps at a time while holding her. Then letting her walk after I got to the bottom. Nurse Joy saw us walking by and showed a somewhat tired though kind smile. "Hello sir, how may I help you?" She asked.
"Just wondering, but is it possible to get something to munch on for breakfast?" I asked curious with a slight timidness to my tone.
"Sure, what might you like?" She asked then looked down slightly which I noticed she was looking at my shirt with a note of curiosity.
I thought for long moments having a few ideas but largely not knowing. "Do you do something like a menu? ...Or is it just practically making concoctions?" I asked curious.
"Well, we do have a menu you can look through. And if you would like, the cooks could whip up a custom order." She replied keeping her kind tone. I began thinking for a few moments, just then I noticed what I believe a tattoo on her right forearm. It looked like a Seviper with wings curled up a dagger, kind of resembling that one medical cross "I'll take the menu for now. By the way, nice tat." I said with a complement at the end. She gave a somewhat surprised look then looked at the tattoo I was complimenting and gave me a smile.
"Thanks. Not a lot people notice it." Nurse Joy replied.
"Plus, whoever did the tattoo, did a damn good job. Love the detail." I said continuing to complement with a smile. Then I felt a tapping on my leg and looked down to my right. "Hm?" I hummed looking at Nesia and the other girls noticing some irritation on their faces. "Oh yeah. Sorry." I said then knelt down to them letting them have there picks as Nurse Joy gave a somewhat confused look as I knelt down, thankfully most of the food had a picture representing most of the dishes that can be served so the three pokemon had an easier time choosing. After a minute or so of looking and choosing the three picked there food then another minute or so later I had my pick. Which I decided something simple, that being a thing of eggs and toast with a four egg ham and cheese omelet, which I found interesting considering the possible types of food in this world.
Nurse joy jotted down the orders and went to what I presumed to be the cooking area and came back to the desk. "Okay then, your food will be out in about thirty minutes." Nurse Joy said.
"Alrighty then." I replied. I then looked to the three pokemon. "Let's go kill some time." I said with a smile, afterwards I went to my usual entertainment of the computers, with everyone getting comfortable. Then we went about the net.
After a few minutes I had a curious thought. I wonder if I can get on my google docs... I thought then I opened a new tab, making my pokémon give a somewhat confused look. I then got into the docs and was presented with the things I had last time I was on it. I made a rather surprised look with my eyebrows raised. "Holy fuck." I mouthed as I looked at my stories amazed that my stories are accessible.
"Master Will? What is that?" Elora asked rather curious and confused.
"Well...this is a program I used to store my stories I've been writing. Plus to store some of the pictures I find on the net." I explained, Elora perked up at the mention of stories.
"Stories? I love stories!" Elora said happily, as well Nesia and Keldra showing interest.
"There not good stories...well. According to my friend group. Especially from the writer of the group, which would be Ryan." I said, a hint of annoyance to the last part of my answer.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.
"Snivy sni." Nesia encouraged, saying that they might actually be good.
"Though I'm not holding hopes to that." I said, a little somber to the fact. "Though I don't know if any of you can read." At that Keldra raised her hand. "Ral." saying she could.
"I can too." Elora said next with a rather proud smile on her face. Knowing this caused my eyebrows to be raised in surprise. "Okay quick test." I said then brought up one of the names of my stories. "What does this say?" I asked.
"My zombie story." She said flawlessly. After that I had her read a few more things before I was finally convinced. Okay cool, that's a bitch and a half of teaching time and patience dodged right there... I thought thankful. Then I saw Nesia with her head down with a somber look and a slight pout. Thus leaving me with a quizzical brow raised. "I take it you can't then?" I said doing my damndest to keep any mean sounding tone out of my voice. "Snivy sniv sni..." She mentioned that she has a difficult time reading.
"Well, that can be fixed, either quickly or slowly. Either way, you'll be able to read better." I said trying to bring her sprites up as I gave her a small smile. "And if need be, Keldra might help. Speaking of. Hows your reading level Keldra?" I asked looking at Keldra.
"Ral, Ralts." she stated.
"Damn, history text level. That's actually pretty damn impressive." I said amazed of a Ralts having that kind of reading level. She smiled taking my reply as a compliment.
I then looked back at Nesia. "Don't be afraid to to ask for help on something like that." Hopefully she won't be like me when it came to asking help... I thought, knowing my habit of not asking for help. Though, it was largely with things school related.
Nesia looked up at me and gave an appreciative smile. "Sni."
"No prob." I said with a smile. After that, about ten or so minutes later the food came, and we ate. All of us really liking the food.
As we ate, Elora asked a somewhat odd, but understandable question. "Master Will? ...what is your world like?" She asked with an unmistakable innocence.
I made a surprised look as I stopped mid-bite of my food, blinking a few times then somewhat quickly chewed and swallowed. Then I thought how I was going to word this.
I was silent for several long moments. "Bloody hell..." I sighed. "Uuuhhmm.....well...most parts are an absolute clusterfuck. Rather corrupt companies...near constant threat of a nuke screwing everyone and everything over, uuum...odd fandoms...tantrum ridden militaries. Gaming industry's making rapid growth as with a lot of good technologies. All sorts of planetary problems with the trash being rather preventable...and a good size of very avoidable extinctions that can be stopped but aren't for some dumbass reason or another. Let's see...what else...all sorts of brutality to both people and animals. Basically my world's rather fucked up. Though...there are a few good bits but, they're drowned out by the bad things sadly." I explained rather calmly, as all three of them stared at me with shock and surprise. "Plus multiple famines and diseased areas as well. We even have cures for most of them. But, with the money whoring of the companies. That's apparently too much of a hassle. And lastly with me with really no future." I said now with a note of somberness. All three of the pokemon had surprised looks that sported a hint of sadness to the knowledge.
Then a knowledgeable thought came to mind reminding me of Keldra. "And Keldra. Don't try to look in my mind. Trust me, there's crap you shouldn't see. Especially how young you are right now." I asked, knowing she might do so from utter curiosity later on.
"Ralts." She said understanding with a nod.
"She seriously should not see what has gone through this mind. And what has been seen." Psycho said, very apprehensive to the thought.
"Well that's surprising. Usually, you wouldn't give a shit on something like this. Why the sudden change?" Vlad said curious and actually slightly worried.
Do indulge. I thought waiting on an answer as I ate.
"I don't know...maybe it's the innocence that radiates off her? Maybe because she's still practically a child? I don't fucking know!?" Psycho said incredulously.
I mentally sighed, closing my eyes for a moment before opening them and resuming to eat.
"We'll just leave it at, I've seen some disturbing shiet..." I said in a natural sounding Scottish accent.
It was relatively quiet after that. Though, there still was questions that came up from my pokémon, that I didn't mind answering. Then I got asked how my life was like in my world. This question being asked by Nesia.
I did a near silent sigh. "Relatively uneventful...some entertaining bits. ...a few depressing moments. A large chunck of loneliness being a unintentional loaner added in part with being an introvert...and, pretty much no love life whatsoever..." I said with a relatively saddened look, especially for the nonexistent love life part, soon after I finished my food. I just looked down at my plate with my saddened look now not wanting to make any movements. Well...this killed my mood a bit...a lot... I silently sighed. Fucking hell...
Then I felt movement to my right side and felt something I want to say hugging me? I then glanced down to my right to see Nesia doing just that, through my saddened expression a small smile formed. You really are a sweetheart. I thought warmly, then did a small side hug like gesture to her. She looked up and smiled at me, my smile grew a little from that, then Keldra came up on the table we were eating at and came up to me moving around the plates and did was Nesia was doing, trying to help cheer me up. You too. Heh, how the hell did I get pokémon that actually had a caring side to them? I questioned myself as my smile grew to that of a warm smile, as now Elora began doing her version. Looks like there going to be my little helpers in helping my stress, anxiety and minor depression. God my luck, never ceases to amaze me. I thought in a sense of jubilance.
"......Thank you three...I haven't even known you three for very long, but I'm thankful. More then you three can understand right now." I admitted, actually feeling loved outside of family. If this couldn't warm the heart of a man then I don't know what will. Because it sure as hell warming mine. I thought as my eyes began to moisten, threatening to spill tears. This may not be as a hellish experience then I thought it would be. I continued now with a big warming smile spread across my face. We stayed there like that for a good few minutes before they separated from me, leaving me slightly saddened, though that small tinge of sadness didn't stay long.
"Snivy sni?" Nesia asked seeing if I was better now.
"Much, very much." I replied in a lighter mood.
A thought then came to mind, since I was basically forced into being a trainer. "You girls up for some training? I have some combo ideas I want to see if you three can pull off." I asked the three. They smiled and said or made a yes gesture. I then looked at the front desk seeing Joy there. I wonder if she has anything of the sort... I thought as I lifted Keldra off my lap and placed her own on the ground as both Nesia and Elora got off the seat as well with me following off, then we made our way to the Nurse. She looked at me with a smile. "How may I help you sir?" She asked, then another thought that's been nagging at me came up.
"Two things. One, I've been wondering, is that your natural hair color? Or is it hair dye? If dye, it looks amazing." I asked genuinely curious with a smile. My pokemon looked up at me with confused looks. The Nurse blushed a bit. "It's actually my natural hair color, I guess you could call me the shiny version of my family." She said humorously with a light chuckle.
Psycho giggled at the little pun. "I see what she did there."
"I could see that actually." I said with a small chuckle. "Alright, for my second question. Is there any training areas?" I asked rather curious.
She looked at the door behind me as if checking something then looked back at me. "Well...I don't normally let people know, but...you've gotten me to like you enough to let you use the training room here." She said.
"Sweet. Where may it be?" I asked politely. "Just follow me." She said, then she began to move towards the stairs which caused me to give off a confused look. She then went under the stairs and went to the wall, then did the universal rapid knock with two somewhat slow knocks at the end, then the wall began to move silently back several inches back, then slid to the right. Which genuinely surprised me, then I gave an approving nod as my pokemon looked amazed. False sliding wall. That's actually pretty badass since this is a pokemon center. I thought since I've never heard of a pokemon game having something like this in a pokemon center, not even the fan made ones that I've played.
"Sniii!"
"Indeed it is." I agreed, then Joy made her way through, then I followed with my pokemon in tow. It was about a flight's worth of stairs to get into the area, what I saw amazed me actually. God damn this is a big room. LCD score screen, resting area, practice dummies? Useful. I thought very interested of the sight before me, as was my pokemon. "Well, I know where we're going to be for the next several hours." Psycho noted with a cheer to his voice.
Yep. I thought back, then looked at Nurse Joy. "In all aspects of this being a pokemon center, this is pretty badass. Surely this took a bit to make." I commented.
"Very few centers actually have something like this, and yeah, it is pretty awesome when you think about it. The dummies are autonomous so you can program them to fight however you want them too, and make them as difficult as you want to." Joy added which peaked my interest. "Let me guess? Silph co?" I said almost deadpanning looking at the deactivated dummies.
"Good guess." Joy compliment with a smile.
"Danka." I said on impulse. Then realized my mistake, my eyes widening a fair bit. Fuck...
Nurse Joy then looked at me with a thoughtful though confused look.
"What language is that?" She asked now curious.
Oh fuck it. "German." I said simply. She then gave me a quizzical look. "I have never heard of german before." She said, I quickly thought of something to stop her from asking more questions about this, because when ever in a story or movie when you get transported into a different world. It's not wise to just blurt out that you just came from a different world or dimension to random people. I don't want the military and science bureaus on my ass or any classified branch that's like the FBI or MIB or something like that. "Sadly I can't say much in the language." I said truthfully, my voice sounding calm, it's scary how rare I have to lie, and I can sound as if I'm telling nothing but the truth.
"Can you tell me more of the origin of that language? If you don't mind my asking?" She asked rather curious.
Son of a bitch......ah! "Well sadly I don't have enough knowledge to tell of where it originated but I think the place people speak it is maayyyybe somewhere to the north east of Kalos." I said being truthful about my knowledge of the language but adding the lie, which sounded as if I actually knew.
"Hm...I'll have to look that up sometime then." She said mulling over the thought. "Well, I'll leave you to your training. Just come up to the desk if you have any questions or need anything." She said then made her way to the steps and began the climb back up stairs and back to her desk. I looked down at my pokemon. "Well, that was interesting." I noted with a smile. Then I clasped my hands together with a smile. "Alrighty then! Shall ve begin? Vait, I need to gets mine pack." I said the last part in a german accent. "I'll be back." I said talking normally, then went about getting my backpack and some of my other items. Then I looked at the next to the bed and noticed my black slippers. "When the fuck did you two get here?" I asked as if expecting an answer.
"Fuck it, they'll be nice to walk around in since I'm not getting my shoes on." I said then slipped into them and made my way back to the training area after I got everything I wanted. "Back." I announced as I entered the room again, then dropped my pack near a large rectangular table, then grabbed out my propel from last night and drank what was left, which there still was a decent amount.
"Oh, much better." I said placing the empty bottle in a small trash can, then looked at my pokemon, with a side smile. "Alrighty diety. Let's see if we can find out what everyone can do." I announced, which my response from my pokemon was a small cheer, then I looked for the controls of the dummies. Luckily that little endeavor didn't take long. "Let's see vhat ve has here." I said to myself as I looked over the controls. Alright, judging from the areas I got everybody from, they'd be in the teens. So...Nesi: a level fourteen Shinx, Elora a level twelve charmander, and Keldra a level twelve hoot hoot. I thought as I imputed what I wanted up. Now...who goes first? I thought then looked at the three little pokemon, that were looking at me quizzically. "Who wants to go first?"
Nesia and Keldra held up there hands, then looked at each other with a slight scowl.
"Alrighty....." I said mentally juggling my choice between the two.
