On a side Route near Fallabar Town lies a Pokemon gym. It is a home to many kinds of Pokemon resurrected from fossils, and thanks to the recent discovery of a nearby fossil deposit it is also a great place to study, breed and train these fossil Pokemon. It's only been half a year since the grand opening, but a few trainers have managed to find their way to it thanks to a sign pointing the way. Today however seemed to be slow, and that did not sit well with one of the two gym leaders who was in charge today.

In the battle room behind the entrance room, a ginger haired man was laid out on the rocky terrain of the battlefield. His eyes were closed and his limbs were spread out. For all intents and purposes, he looked like weirdo passed out on the floor. From the door at the back, a small blue Tyrunt made its way over to the still form of the man. Her strides were slow and steady so as to not make a sound. Once she was near the man's face, the Tyrunt snickered silently before taking a long lick along the man's face.

"Agh! What the hell?!" The ginger sat up wiping the slobber off of his face. Once he could see properly, he looked over to see the blue Tyrunt doubled over on its side laughing. "Baby Blue, what the hell?" the man asked in a harsh tone. It didn't have any effect on little Baby Blue though, seeing as she was still laughing her ass off. With a sigh and a dirty look, the man went over and picked up his Pokemon off the floor.

He made his way towards the back of the room, going through the door that the small Pokemon had come through previously. The door led to a hallway which held five different doors. He went through the nearest one on the left. Inside was what resembled a playroom. This room was designated as the baby Pokemon room. As the man set down the Pokemon, his phone vibrated. He reached into his pocket to fetch it and his eyebrows raised as he noticed the name on the caller ID.

"Anna, to what do I owe the pleasure," the ginger asked once he flipped the phone open.

"JACK," The female voice exclaimed, making Jack wince and pull the phone away from his ear. "Thank Arceus, have you seen Blue anywhere?" Jack raised a brow and looked down at the Tyrunt playing with one of the balls in the playroom.

"I'm with her now actually. The little shit decided it would be a nice idea to give me a lick on the face." He stuck his tongue out at Baby blue, who had stuck her own tongue out in response.

"You were asleep on the battle floor again, weren't you," Anna asked smugly. Jack had taken to falling asleep on the floor while waiting for challengers on slow days. "Well anyway," Anna continued, "it's a good thing you found her. I was putting the little ones to sleep before I left to get a few things from the markets when she disappeared on me."

Jack raised a brow. "Disappeared how exactly?"

"Well, I'm not too sure," Anna said baffled. "I left to put the baby Tortuga to sleep with Shelldon, and when I came back to the playroom, she wasn't there." Jack looked over at Blue and squinted his eyes at her. Blue ignored him for the most part, continuing to play with her ball.

"Not sure what to tell you," Jack said, taking a look around the playroom. There weren't a lot of places for the younger Pokemon to hide in, aside from the nearby closet. That however would have been too obvious. "But she's been found, so no need to worry."

"Thanks heavens for that," Anna commented. "Would you mind putting her down for a nap?"

"I can manage that," Jack said, turning his back to Blue. "You go on ahead and get what you need from the market. I'll take Baby Blue here and put her down for a nap." Anna gave Jack her thanks and they both hung up. Jack pocketed his cell and turned around only to find an empty room with no Baby Blue. "You little shit," Jack muttered. With a deep sigh, he started his search beginning with the nearby closet. As he assumed, Blue had figured out that it was too obvious a hiding spot. She was a smart cookie, that's for sure.

Jack resumed his search, looking behind certain objects, and under others. His search however turned up nothing. There was no way she could have left the room. Jack would have noticed the door opening and closing. It was then that he got an idea. "Hmm, guess she isn't here," Jack said out loud. "Guess I'll just have to look somewhere else." Jack walked over to the door, then proceeded to open and close it. He turned to look at the room as a whole.

At the opposite wall, a yellow box with a white question mark on it began to shake. Jack watched it for a moment and before too long it flopped onto one of its sides, revealing none other than Blue herself. Blue took a look around before her eyes settled on her trainer and she froze. Jack stared down at her with a serious look before he went over and picked Blue up. "So that's how it's gonna be huh?" He looked down at the box and noticed the bottom part had been eaten through partially. Jack sighed. Great, now he was going to have to take it away from Blue. Shame seeing as she had taken a shine to the box for some odd reason.

He would have to put it up later though. "Now let's put you to bed," he said as he turned to leave the room. Blue struggled in vain as she tried to escape from Jack's hold on her. However, she was too tired to do much of anything. "See there? Too tired to put up a proper fight." Blue settled for grumbling. Jack opened the fifth door at the end of the hall. This contained a much larger room. On one side was a large above ground pool. Currently there was a Kabutops and two Kabuto's swimming around inside it. The Kabutops stopped and waved at Jack when he noticed the gym leader. Jack waved back as he walked over to the other end.

The other side contained a few small nest stalls that the smaller Pokemon tend to share for their naps. Jack put Blue in one of the currently empty ones. Blue had this tendency to lay on her side and kick in her sleep. It made trouble for the other Pokemon trying to sleep, especially because she was such a strong kicker. Jack made sure she laid down properly and watched as her eyes slowly closed. After he had confirmed that she was indeed asleep, Jack looked over at the Caracosta in the far stall at the end of the wall. The Caracosta was currently taking a nap on its back, a baby Tortuga was sleeping soundly on the larger Pokémon's stomach.

Jack smiled fondly at the two of them. Shelldon had done a great job at being a father so far. Unfortunately though, his mate had died during the birth of the baby Tortuga. It wasn't surprising really, she had come down with a fever before the final weeks of her pregnancy. They unfortunately couldn't break it before she gave birth.

Jack shook his head of the memory. It wasn't a fond one for anyone. Shelldon had been pretty much out of it till Tortuga's egg finally hatched. Shelldon made a damn good father if Jack said so himself. With a final quirk of his lips, he turned and left the room waving once more at Kabutops as he passed the pool.

As Jack entered back into the front of the Gym, he caught sight of a dark skinned man walking towards him. "Ah, Richard, finally made it I see," Jack called out.

Richard simply smiled as he walked towards Jack. "What's up, short stack," Richard replied, patting Jack on the head for extra emphasis. He nimbly dodged a fist aiming for his head.

"Stop calling me that," Jack angrily yelled. "I'm only an inch shorter than your wife, ya know."

"Yeah, but she's also a couple inches shorter than I am," Richard replied. Jack knew Richard was only teasing him, but it still pissed the ginger off to no end when people made comments about his height. He stood at a mere 5'8", having stopped growing when he was a freshman in high school.

"I would so fire you if you weren't such a good breeder." Jack and the other Gym leader had met Richard and Anna when they were interviewing for Pokemon breeders for the gym. They were a breeder couple, and came highly recommended for the job. And boy did they show the leaders a thing or two. Richard specialized in Pokemon behavior as well as egg hatching. Anna specialized in Pokemon nutrition and health, and was in charge of the diets for most of the Pokemon in the Gym. They had both been an asset when the Gym was finally up and running.

"Whatever, you'd be lost without me," Richard said while he smiled smugly. Jack simply pouted, knowing he was defeated. Truth was, without either of them, the gym would probably go up in flames. "Oh yeah, Anna told me about Baby Blue."

Jack nodded. "Turns out she hid in the yellow box that she likes." Richard looked confused for a moment.

"How did she even manage to get inside it?"

"She ate the bottom off of it. Her Big Jaws ability isn't just for show you know." Jack hated to admit it, but for a baby Pokemon, Blue was without a doubt highly intelligent. The same couldn't be said about her father, Jaws, though.

"Too true, too true. So, do you want me to put it up somewhere," Richard asked as he walked towards the back rooms.

"Yeah, place it somewhere she can't get to it," Jack replied. "Oh, and I already put her down for her nap, so no need to worry about that." Richard nodded his understanding and walked through the back door. Jack sighed, facing back towards the front and sitting on the ground.

Jack could hear some shuffling sounds above him. It was no doubt Arrow playing around up there. No doubt the big guy was just as bored as Jack was at the moment. Jack looked up and without a doubt, a giant Aerodactyl was flying around the support beams near the ceiling.

It struck Jack as surreal, even now, that when he first started his Journey at 16 that his partner would be an Aerodactyl. He had found the old amber during a school trip back in Kalos. He and three other students went on a trip to the Glittering Caves to find and study fossils. The fossils that were found were then taken back to the lab in Ambrete Town to be resurrected. It was sheer luck that he had found the old amber.

Jack smiled at the memories. It wasn't too long after that trip that he and Arrow started their journey together. Jack reached into his shirt and brought out a small pendant. Placed in the center was a small gemstone with a symbol for DNA in its center. When Jack first got this he was taught bout Mega Evolution, and how Arrow could actually evolve. Granted it lasted for a small period of time, but it was amazing to think about.

Jack stood up, grin plastered on his face and looked back up. "Hey Arrow," Jack called out, garnering the Pokémon's attention. Arrow made his decent to his partner, kicking up some dust as he landed. "What do you say we head out and go flying for a bit?" Arrow looked around the Gym before turning his attention back to Jack. "Oh don't worry about it," Jack said, knowing what Arrow was thinking. "It's been a slow day, and we're both bored out of our minds." Arrow nodded in agreement. Jack sent a message to Richard to let him know what was happening before they left.

Luckily, they made the front door big enough so that Arrow could easily get in and out without any hassling with things like poke balls. Once outside, Arrow knelt down so that Jack could easily hop on his back. Jack laid down on his stomach and wrapped his arms tightly around Arrows neck. Jack gave his okay and like a bullet they took off into the sky. Jack had to hold on for dear life at this point. He knew from past experience what letting go meant for him at this point. Jack opened his eyes as he always did when Arrow finally slowed down enough, and looked down.

He was always amazed at how tiny everything seemed from way up high. Arrow was simply gliding in the air right now, flapping his wings every so often to keep them from descending too low. Jack remembered the first time he rode on Arrows back. He remembered how tiny everything was then too. Jack took in a deep breath of air, relishing in the freshness of it.

With a small smirk, he gripped tighter to Arrow and lightly kicked his foot on Arrows back. Arrow knew what that signal meant, and immediately picked up speed. Jack let out n excited yell as he Arrow did tricks in the air, gaining more and more speed. They did this for hours, Arrow finally tired out by evening. Arrow landed back in front of the gym, taking a moment to catch his breath. Jack hopped down from Arrows back, stretching his back a bit before smiling at his partner.

Arrow gave his trainer a smile of his own before his attention was pulled to the front of the gym. A tall tanned man stood in front of the gym's entrance. His brown hair was in a mow hawk hairstyle, he wore clothes similar to a miners covered in dirt, and a grin was plastered across his face.

"There you are," the man said. "Richard said you were going out earlier, but to think you'd get back this late."

Jack smiled before tackling the taller man. "Tank! I didn't think you'd get back so early."

"Yea, well, today wasn't very fruitful for me," Tank replied, rubbing the back of his head. "What about you? Any luck with the challengers today?"

"None whatsoever," Jack sighed. "I got bored, so I and Arrow went out for a bit of a joyride."

"A joyride that lasted for four hours?"

"Was it really that long?" Before Tank could answer though a voice called out from the entrance.

"There you are, Jack." Both men turned to see a small Asian woman wearing the standard gear that breeders wore. "Just in time too. We were getting ready to lock up the gym for the day."

"Hey Anna," Jack greeted. "So does that mean the Pokemon have been fed and are asleep right now?"

"Well there are always the restless ones, but yes." Anna pointed a finger at Arrow. "All that's left now is this big guy. Seeing as you took most of the day to fly, it shouldn't be too hard putting him to sleep." Arrow made a complaining noise that was instantly interrupted by a loud yawn. "See there?" Anna teased Arrow.

"Go on, big guy," Jack insisted. Arrow gave Jack a dirty look before he was led away by Anna. "I'll see you in the morning Arrow," Jack called out. Arrow responded with the wave of his wing.

"I guess we should head home too," Tank spoke up. "Seeing as it is getting late and all." Jack nodded.

"Guess you're right. Anna and Richard know how to lock up." Tank turned to start walking when he felt a heavy weight jump on his back.

"Come on now, really?" Tank complained. He looked over his shoulder to see Jack's smug grin. "I'm tired from mining fossils all day."

"But you're not too tired to complain," Jack replied with a mischievous grin. "Besides, you're my boyfriend. You should want to do this kind of thing with me."

"Yeah, but not when I'm dead tired," Tank argued. "You forget, I'm also older than you by six years. Things get creaky after a certain age."

"Not in your thirties, Tank." Jack adjusted himself on Tanks back to get a more secure hold. "I'll tell you what though. Carry me home, and I'll make you not one, but two hamburgers."

Tank thought on it for a moment. "Add in some fries and I'll consider it."

"How about a plate full," Jack responded swiftly. "Plus, I'll add some of those spices you like so much."

"You mean, your special secret spice fries," Tank asked, mouth drooling. Jack simply nodded. "Alright, you got yourself a deal," Tank said, now bursting with energy. Tank started sprinting back towards their home in Fallabar Town, Jack holding fast on his back.

From the entrance, Richard and Anna watched as Tank and Jack left down the trail leading back to town. Both wore a smile on their faces.

"Ah, to be young again," Richard said fondly. "He is right though, things do get creaky after a certain age." He stretched his back to further emphasize his point.

"Well let's be glad I haven't asked you to carry me since our wedding," Anna said, giggling. "I'm pretty sure if you did, you'd pull something."

"Hey, I may not be able to carry you, but I am still able to do other things, you know." Richard took Anna's hand in his own and kissed it before they started their own trek home.

"Let's see if we can make it home first," Anna said with a grin. "Then maybe I'll think about it."

"You always were a tease," Richard replied with a smile. "But I gotta say, that's what I love about you."

AN: OK, so this is basically an introductory chapter to the story as some may have guessed. I want to hold at least four chapters with battles in them. So I'm asking you guys for some help here. I want you guys to private message me some OC's, application is simple too.
