It was the better part of three or so hours of combo making and seeing what my pokemon could do, and with the last two hours, I just let my pokemon do their own thing on the practice field as the song Underground by Excision and Downlink played.
"These are some bullshit grade starters..." I noted quietly as I watched them, with continued amazement.
"And I'm loving every second of it." Psycho said.
"Same." I agreed as they were finishing up. Then one of the dummies was flung my way as I quickly ducted. "JESUS!" I yelled as I basically dropped to the floor avoiding the makeshift projectile. I lept back up looking at the wall behind me, looking at the crater with a Scyther embedded into it as I bugeyed with my right eye twitching. "Holy shit...holy shit...holy shit..." I said with a rasping sigh. I looked out to the training field to see Nesia shocked then brought her head down in fearful shame, not wanting to make eye contact with me. "Okay. Nesia." I hollered to her, keeping any anger out of my tone as she flinched regardless. "Two things. One, I'm not pissed at you. Two, watch where the hell you fling your opponents. Alright?" I continued, still trying to keep any mean tone out. After I said that, I felt something pawing at my leg. I looked down to see Elora with concern on her face. "I'm okay, I'm okay. It didn't smack into me at all. Thankfully." I said which gave me the desired effect of her calming down. I looked back at Nesia as she still held her head low. Oh god damn it. I thought not entirely in irritation, but with a feeling I couldn't remember the name of.
I opened the little door to the practice field and walked up to Nesia after turning the music down a few notches. I came up to Nesia and knelt down as she still refused to look at me. She flinch just before I placed my hand on her head, Then slowly looked up at me with a look of somber shame. "It'd be alright lass. I'm not mad at 'cha, just surprised the hell out of me." I said in my scottish accent with a light chuckled. She hung her head again with a saddened look. I mentally sighed, then did a thing I don't do often. "C'mere." I said quietly, then picked her up in a soft embrace, affectionately scratching her cheek with my index finger giving her a warm smile. Nesia began to smile. There we go. I thought in a happy note as my smile warmed a little more.
"No need to beat yourself up on that. Nothing was broken. Besides the dummy and the wall it was embedded in." I said, with note of humour at the end.
"Snivy sni. Sniv." Nesia said, thanking me and accepting what happened.
She then crawled out of my arms and onto my shoulders, hugging me on the neck for a few moments, as I looked back at her with a smile. I'm never going to get tired of that. I thought rather liking Nesia's affectionate side. Since I've never encountered this kind of affection... Just a little sweetheart you are. I thought kindly, unable to stop smiling from the kindness.
I turned around back to the others. "I think it's time for an end to the training today." I announced, Elora and Keldra couldn't really argue after that. Then I looked at my watch seeing it was almost noon. "Everyone up for some munchies?" I asked as I walked back. I heard a unanimous 'yes' from the other three. "Alrighty then." I said with a smile.
I walked up to the speakers, looking for a change back button, which took me a few moments as the speakers transformed back into the device as it floated in the air for a moment as I grabbed it, placing it in my pocket. Then I walked into the spectating area, leaning over and grabbing my backpack in one motion then picking up Keldra. "Hiho hiho to lunch we go!" I said with a smile. This has been an eventful ish morning. I thought as I walked up the steps as Elora followed close behind bound up the steps. After several long moments of walking up the steps, we made it at the top of them. Though the entryway was closed. Which I furrowed my eyebrows in minor irritation, then looked around the door for a button, switch or a lever. Come on, where are you. You cheeky little bugger. I thought then I saw it, with the span of about five seconds. I then pressed the button to open it from the inside.
I squinted my eyes in pain and pulling my head back a little bit from the burst of natural light. Oh my god my retinas! I thought in Mort Goldman's voice as the light hurt my eyes for a few long moments. Nesia looked at me with a questioning concerned look. "Snivy?"
"I'm good...eyes are just light sensitive...damn you photosensitivity..." I assured.
Even with the bodily improvement...I still have a good chunk of my ailments...kinda bullshit. I thought in minor dejection and irritation. We then walked out, after walking ten paces. I saw Nurse Joy coming up with a smile. "I was about to come down there to say it was lunch time." She said with a light smile.
"We were coming up for just that." I said with a smile.
"Can I get something sweet?" Elora asked, which I looked at her as she looked up with pleading eyes.
"Alright." I replied not minding.
"I do hope she doesn't have a sugar rush..." Vlad said, a little nervous of the burst of energy that could be imagined to happen from the little ball of fur.
You and me both...though it could be amusing. I agreed as we followed Nurse Joy to a table. We made our lunch orders and waited as we made small talk.
"Yeah, nice game. But can be so irritating at times." I said to Elora, telling of my times playing Planetside 2. "Plus, when I started playing that game. There was no tutorial to speak of. Which had a steep learning curve I had to go through." I added, which looked like I confused her with the last last sentence.
"What's a learning curve?" She asked, curious.
"A learning curve is how easy or how hard it is to learn to play a game or use something." I explained from what I thought it generally meant. Which I got a nod of understanding from the little explanation. "Another part is you can shoot really far in that game."
"Snivy sniv!" Nesia said saying it sounds fun.
"It can be. Now if I can get access to my steam account I could get all of my games on the computer in the room we're staying in." I noted, now that the thought crossed my mind I'm curious if it could work. Well, we are running with some sort of quantum entanglement data stream share theory. I thought as I put my mind on the topic.
"It seems the most plausible theory given our circumstance." Vlad said agreeing.
My thoughts exactly.
"THIS IS! A text message." My phone sounded off wit hthe voice of Leonidos of 300, making my pokemon jump causing me to laugh from their startled reactions as they looked around for 'who spoke'.
"Snivy sniv sni snivy??" Nesia asked confused and a little nervous.
"Alright alright, calm down. It was just the pokegear." I said calmly with a chuckle as I assumed it was since it seemed that it would act like a phone, and given it looks pretty much like my LG Sunrise phone.
I pulled the device out of my pocket and looked at the texting page. It was a text from Jordan to my surprise. "So how's it going there?" It read.
"Rather decent actually, got done with a training session with my pokemon. The pokemon center actually has a secret underground training area with high tech training dummies. It's actually pretty badass. And I found out my pokemon are decently leveled...and scary to watch. They are creative with how they fight, I even had Nesia do a couple three on one's and she. Kicked. Ass. I even have it recorded if you want to look at the badassery I saw." I texted back.
"That was Jordan asking how it was going here." I explained to the other three.
"Snivy sni?" Nesia asked if it was the chubby human.
"Yes, that's him." I affirmed. A few minutes later after resuming our conversation of the three asking about me and my world, I got another message. This time only Elora and Keldra jumping from the sound as I chuckled. Elora gave me a not so pleased look as I continued to snicker. Then I looked back at the pokegear.
"Well that sounded eventful. And Ryan said hi." Jordan texted back.
"It was, and hi Ryan. So, yes no maybe on the video?" I texted back.
A minute later. "Uh, sure." I went into the pictures and videos section of the pokegear, it took me a moment to navigate. I found the video and sent it to Jordan, the video actually loading insanely quick for a nearly four hour video. Holy shit. Major upgrade from not even being able to load a several hundred kilobyte image being sent to me.
"That should keep them busy for a while." I said as the food now came by. I had an omelet as did Neisa. Keldra had a cheese sandwich it seemed. And Elora had a oran berry crepe, which looked really good. But I was content on my omelet, being somewhat surprised they had such things like omelets. Though it was like the western omelet from Ihop's which delightfully surprised me.
As we enjoyed our meal, I had a somewhat odd feeling boiling up. Then Psycho spoke up. "I sense a disturbance in the force..." He said cryptically which concerned me since he never says anything like that without a reason.
What Psycho? I asked curious.
"Someone with bad juju. Still a small distance from the center. About three or so blocks." Psycho replied.
Wait. How are you able to tell? I asked, now rather curious.
"...You know, i'd like to know myself." Psycho said not so sure himself.
Lovely...
After a few more minutes we were done with our meals, then my thought of courtesy I had when I went to a restaurant. "Alright, girls. Little thing of courtesy I have for this. Just stack up your plates onto mine so to make it a little easier for whoever has to carry the plates in." I said to the three, surprisingly they took the thought to heart and actually did such.
"Alrighty then, shall we go back to the room and see what's interesting to watch." I asked nonchalantly, not wanting to be in the same little area as the person coming here. They smiled with varied yes's.
"Okay! On forth to entertainment!" I said dramatically with a smile. Then began to walk back to my room then arrived at the stairs as I walked automatically. Then heard Keldra ask for me to help her a bit. I stopped midway, mentally smacking myself for forgetting. I went back down, as Nesia and Elora stopped to wait for me. I went back down the stairs to Keldra who made it up about four steps out of what I guessed to be about half a flight of stairs. But as I got to her and began to lift her up Psycho spoke up.
"Hey Will, remember that bad juju I told you about a little bit ago...well it's about to come in. Well, asshole inbound! And not the fun kind either, the kind of pricktachious asshat mcjackass kind of asshole." He said with a small note of irritation as the doors opened, with a person coming in bundled up in winter clothing with a pair of orange ski goggles. Then I began to feel Keldra shake in my arms. "Let's go please." Keldra said with an urgency. But as I turned I heard a dreadfully squeaky voice I have been well familiar with in my times of playing multiplayer in some of the games I've played.
"I'm surprised you found that piece of crap Ralts. I thought it was dead by now." The ever annoying voice said with smugness and condescendence.
Oh my good fuck why? Why did it have to be a squeaker!? Oh all of the people for me to meet in person it had to be a squeaker...god damn iiiiiiit... I thought in rapidly growing irritation. So I turned to look to see a boy about four feet tall looking no older than thirteen.
"First of all you bloody squeaker. You are all sorts of stupid and asinine with no hope of the thought of value. And two, from what I've seen. She is by no means an average Ralts, hellaciously above such!" I said with an amused chuckle looking at Keldra for a moment with a smile. Then continued looking back at the book with a venomous glare. "As well of being a shiny, which I'm by all means surprised you just tossed away a little sweetheart of potential badassery like her." I said ranting a tad with a note of irritation to the little jackass of a trainer, most likely newer at this then me.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
He looked at me with a surprised look crossed with irritation. "How..how dare you. I- cha-" He said almost feebly.
But as he began to talk I cut him off. "Oh and don't even try challenging me to a battle. One, it's too damn cold, two I'm still recovering from a hellacious walk to here and three. Heheh you're too much of a pissant to make it worth it. Hell, it'd annoy my Nesia to even fight against you." I added with a sardonic humor, which at that moment Nesia came up beside me with her vines out in a threatening fashion with a hissing growl. Which surprised me, which I looked down at her with a relatively surprised look with a raised brow. That growl actually gave me goosebumps. I then looked back at the boy with a sardonic smirk.
"See? She's already getting pissed off by you." I added seeing the boy very surprised. "So vithout furthzr adue. Bye little scheisse!" I said in a rather convincing german accent then turned around and began to walk back up the stairs with a smile on my face while I held a one finger salute for a few moments. Nesia watched me for a moment and looked at the boy and did one more short menacing hiss and began going back up the stairs to me.
"Thank you..." I heard Keldra say, her tone weak but holding up a smile.
I look back down to her giving her a warm smile. "The little prick didn't know what he had. But. I can see that you'll be a wonderful friend, and powerful contrary to what he said. Hell, most Ralts I've seen couldn't throw a Scyther like a ragdoll about the entirety of the room like you can. That, and I can tell he doesn't deserve a little sweetheart like you." I said with a large note of praise and complementing, being honest while slightly ruffling her hair.
She smiled, then hugged me as best she could as I was holding her. These three are never going to cease to make me smile. I thought delightedly. After I made it up the stairs I looked at Elora with a mischievous grin. "If he begins to be a little prick to us again, you have full rein to fuck with his mind with illusions." I said with a undertone of sweetness. She grinned happily to the thought.
After that the day was rather uneventful. About five hours from the encounter with the squeaker, I then had a thought of curiosity as me and my pokémon sat on the bed as we watched one of the movies i've seen through my younger times. This movie being the Incredibles.
I looked at Keldra on my left seeing I'm going to have to move her in order to move to the edge of the bed where my pack is, leaning on the bedside table. "I'm going to have to move you for a sec." I said to her which she looked up at me in question as to why. Then I picked her up like I would a little kid and placed her on the other side of me where Nesia was laying beside me, putting her next to Nesi. She looked up at me curious for a moment and looked at Keldra and back at me for a moment then resumed watching the movie. I then moved my right foot over Elora as to not smack said foot into her as I moved as she was situated between my feet at the moment.
I'm so curious at to all it has... I thought as I brought my legs on said side and leaned over slightly to grab the backpack and pulled it in front of me. I then unzipped the closest zipper to me and peered in. I opened my eyes wide at the sight beheld to me at the contents and how they were held in there. And the actual size to my greatest surprise.
To put it simply, it looked like someone with ocd made the inside with this first pouch full of organized foods and drinks. Which to my pleasure to my thought a few days ago I thought it had a sort of pocket dimension tech woven into it. Though not the scale I would presume being heavily spacious, but still had a hell of a lot of room. But if I were to make an estimate from looking at the current sight of the food and drinks presented to me. I would have provisions for both me and my pokemon for at least six months, four at their max evolved forms if I had the max amount of pokemon. Wait...this could be a different reality to the pokemon realm where I could have any number of them. Though the odds are heavily slim. If so I'd just have at max seven or eight... I contemplated. Playing with the thought.
Then I looked in more and felt around the inner walls to see if this pocket actually had that mini fridge/freezer. Not that side...not there...no-hello. I thought as I found it with raised brows.
Then I felt a zipper there, and then opened. Make it about seven months.
"If we are ever fucked over and get trapped somewhere. We are good for a gooood while for food and drink." Psycho said in a thoughtful tone.
"That we are. By the way Will. That could prove reason for why the three pokémon we have, have some of the moves they have. That or they are special mutations to this reality where in a relatively canon Pokéverse." Vlad said suggesting the theories in a calm though interested thoughtful tone
You know the latter one sounds most plausible considering. I thought as I amazed at the sight of food and drink. After a few seconds of gawking at the sight, I zipped them up. Afterwards I went to the second pouch. Then my expression of surprise grew with a grin.
Hi hi hi. I thought each word with more excitement than the last. Well, I have some defencive capability now. I thought with an element of joyfulness as I saw some of my bladed weaponry. Several large knives from my collection back home. Then I looked in deeper my look of surprised glee growing as I saw a very lovely piece.
Then I looked in deeper my look of surprised glee growing as I saw a very lovely piece [https://em.wattpad.com/9edff951b18cf64e7d015c6412946f63182c437f/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f55573752452d5055756c335672513d3d2d3431363535303538382e313463316265653436373866343464653632383839313830353133382e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Is that a damascus kukri style machete! I thought very excitedly. I pulled up a few inches to see and to my joy, it was. At that moment my inner weapon nut squealed in joy like a little school girl. Oh my sweet jesus! So. Much. Yeeeesss! Wait...oh my god there's two, I could dual wield them!!
And to top it off, there was a black chinese war sword i've seen on the cold steel site that i've been wanting for a good while now [https://em.wattpad.com/e5db9eb6a7a6f08c370e8debc0d8b17ea6702333/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f434965616a393667584f6d4f50513d3d2d3431363535303538382e313463316266316439336136643139643239353038393733393835342e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
And to top it off, there was a black chinese war sword I've seen on the cold steel site that I've been wanting for a good while now.
Psycho began giggling in joy. "Yaaay! Blades! Blades! Blaaades! Eeeehehehheh!" He said with a gleeful giggle.
"Let's hope we don't have to go on a killing spree soon. Last thing we need." Vlad said not up for an unneeded confrontation.
"What about the dumbasses from team rocket and the other jackasses of the other teams if they take our pokemon?" Psycho inquired sounding almost hopeful.
Vlad was silent for a few moments. "Go batshit. Same goes if their being excessively irritative." He answered with an amused tone to the thought.
"Yaaaaay!" Psycho yelled excitedly.
Though with the bladed weapons there was camping gear galore. Several high grade camping stoves, what seems to be a large tent, kind of like a ten person one if I guessed, but I wasn't sure. A bunch of fuel for the stoves, various starters for fires among other things. Even a hatchet for woodcutting, and not a pitiful one either. As I looked a little further, I discovered a battery operated chainsaw, not a very large one mind you. Sweetness. I noted as I looked at the glorious assortment of camping gear.
I looked at a few more things before I zipped it back up, By this time Elora looked at me and wondered what I was doing with the backpack and thus came up next to me and looked at the back I moved up the the next zipper.
"What are you looking for master Will?" Elora asked seeing me sift through the pack.
"I'm looking to see what I have in it." I said offhandedly as I opened the third zipper to see a miniature wardrop inside, which impressed me a bit considering with all sorts of clothing I would pick out within.
I looked at the next zipper up, which actually had a Soul Eater skull attached to it which surprised me as I closed the other zipper. "Anything cool so far?" Elora asked after I zipped up the clothing section.
"So far very surprising." I noted as I opened up the next section sealed by a soul eater skull zipper. I peered into the next section with wide eyes. Oh sweet mother of fuck yes... I said in surprise and joy. I pulled out a very surprising object. A high tech looking black and blue with purple accents laptop with a punisher symbol with a sticker I had on my old laptop that said "Warning: touching my laptop my result in a ass whoopin' of a lifetime!" with a stick figure on top another with a baseball bat while the other is holding a laptop. The spot where a logo would light up image glowing a dark blue with Deadpool's symbol there. Oh my god this is all kinds of badaaaass! I pseudo whispered in my mind.
And it wasn't small either. From eyeballing it, I would of guessed the size to be about nineteen inches wide and fifteen tall (if you put it on it's side), though as big as it was, it didn't feel all that heavy oddly enough. Elora stared at it with wonder. "What is that?" She asked oh so curious.
"This is a more mobile version of the computer I have hooked up to the tv. Which this is called a laptop." I explained without looking away.
"Why is it called a laptop?" Elora asked confused.
"My assumption would be it's a miniature desktop that sits on your lap. Which the desktop is what the computer that I mentioned before is usually called." I explained further hoping the little fox understands.
"Oh okay. So it's a mobile desktop?" Elora said thoughtfully.
"Essentially, yeah." I affirmed as I opened it. It was a normalish laptop keyboard with black keys and a numpad, but I also noticed some macro keys that are used for gaming. Wait... is this a gaming laptop? I thought very curious now. I decided to now power it up for shits and giggles sake. It took a few moments, going through a short computing start up, then showed a red silhouetted Zoroark's head and mane above a set of text that intrigued me that stayed for about three seconds. Zoroes. Be above the normal? Vell then. What is it? This realms version of Windows? I thought humorously, yet skeptically though intrigued as it booted up, and then showed the password text box, but there was a live blue sci-fi digital structure background moving around like it was going through a data space. Which interested me and my inner sci-fi geek. Then I quickly noticed the keyboard having a backlight which was a dark blue color. Sweeeheheheet.
"Cooool!" Elora said in awe. Oh we're not even starting yet. I thought enthused.
Wait...shit. I thought just realizing an immediate problem.
"What?" Vlad asked a little concerned.
I don't know the password... I said in dread and with a little embarrassment.
"......SHIT!" Psycho said loudly in sudden irritation.
Welp. Time for shits and giggles. I thought as I tried thinking of a few passwords I would use. It was a few minutes of thinking and trying occasionally different passwords.
I sat there with my index finger and thumb clasping my chin as I thought. It was a few more moments before I made a somewhat surprised expression as I decided on one more password, It was a relatively recent one I concocted a few months ago.
Let's try you... I thought as I typed it in quickly and pressed enter. I grinned in success as I got in. It took a short moment to load in to show an epic degree space background. Badass. I thought as I looked at the background, then I looked at the shortcuts that were on display. Most of them familiar showing most of what I had on my desktop back home. Granted a few things that I have been meaning to get rid of now gone. Well that little hassle is dealt with. I thought somewhat glad.
Then I looked upon the steam icon. I moused over it with the mouse pad and double clicked it. All of this was amazing to Elora. The log in for steam popped up, which I promptly logged on assuming this will connect to my steam. Low and behold the steam name and password I used worked. Then showing the steam dashboard, showing several games right off the bat. The sight of the images of the games purplexed Elora though. I then looked at the wish list icon on the window on the top right, checking if this actually had my data. Yep, 209 games in the wishlist, this is connected to my steam. Awesome. Now the question is, does this laptop have the storage and the amount of money needed to get the games? I'll look later on.
"What are those?" Elora asked curiously.
I looked at her with a smile. "These my little friend are games. Thousands of games in one easy to acquire platform." I stated with a smirk. I swear if her eyes could be sparkling as she grinned with joy, they'd beat the sparkling vampires of twilight. The only movie that vampires don't fucking burn in hell fire from the sun.... I thought irritatedly.
"Vampires don't fucking sparkle. THEY FUCKING BUUUUURRRRNNN!!! BURN INTO A PILE OF ASHES! ASHES GOD DAMN IT!" Psycho sharing my irritation on the fact.
Exactly. I thought agreeing.
I then went into my games list to see if my games came with this. And to my surprise and more upon it, I had my games and the games some of my friends shared with me.
I grinned ecstatically to the fact. "Sweet! I have all of my games." I said as I scrolled through the list.
Elora just looked at the list of names of games as I scrolled through looking to see if I actually have everyone of them. Then I made a mute look for a moment then rose my eyebrows in surprise to something I didn't check. I wonder how much memory you have... I thought curiously. Since this looking so much like Windows 7, and oddly kind of like Linux Zorin, I thankfully didn't have much trouble getting to the files and got to the memory storage indicator.
I bugeyed to say the least at the amount for a laptop of this size. 100 TERABYTES! JESUS MCFUCK! "Holy sweet fuck almighty..." I rasped as I looked at the amount of memory, then I did a double take on the ram. 300 gigs! Jesus christ what kind of games do these sonsabitches run! I thought utterly flabberghasted.
"Sixty years ahead kind of games I'd guess." Vlad said, surprise obvious in his tone.
"Must. See. Graphical. Badassnesssss...." Psycho demanded.
I couldn't agree with you more. I thought still bugeyed. I then looked at the other girls. "Alrighty, after the movie. We're doing some gaming!" I announced happily.
Nesia, Elora and Keldra all looked at me, with interest then smiled at the idea. I then looked back at the computer and checked how much money I had in my steam, hoping I didn't have my pitiful thirty eight cents. But, to my pleasant surprise, I was ever wrong to doubt. ...I could hug the person that decided to be this nice to me. I thought as I looked at the $4,000 dollars in my account. As a gamer, this actually made me misty eyed seeing that amount. Making me so happy at that moment.
A spending spree is in order. I thought in glee as I looked through my wish list and began getting games that have been there for nearly two years and so forth. I amazed even further at the ludicrous speeds the downloads went through, some taking a max of five minutes, to just a few seconds. My usual download speeds were between two to eight megs on steam.
