Jack yawns as he turns over still trying to sleep. "Another boring college day. Whoopee." He mumbled halfheartedly.

He slowly sits up and yawns before stopping with his eyes still closed. "Wait. My bed is never this soft. Not even on that memory foam." He said to himself before opening his eyes and saw he was sitting in a forest clearing while the light slowly faded in. "Okay. Is this some big prank guys?!" He yelled as he sits up before falling straight onto his back as he felt his balance lost. "Owie." He groans and rubs his back and rolls over and slowly sits up before stopping and looking at his hand…paw. "Wha…?"

He starts to look to himself and he sees his hand was gone and now a blue paw was there with a silver colored rounded bump on top of his wrist and moving at his thoughts as he followed his arm and saw blue fur and keeps looking all over himself and stops as he felt something moving behind him and looks behind him to see a long bladed tail that seems to follow his thoughts as well and looks back to himself and keeps looking over his chest and sees that black fur covered part of it as it came at a jaw bite shape at his waist as his legs seemed to be all black fur and ending at paws as well.

"The heck…?!" Jack yells and stops as a something heavy looking, but felt light dangled on the side of his view and he reached up with his free paw and felt it connected to the side of his head and reaches around to his face and feels a rounded snout. "Oh crap. Okay…assessment time." Jack said trying to calm himself.

Jack gulps and sits down now and keeps looking at himself. "I can't be a…Riolu? No. It can't be. That's just a game and cartoon…is it?" He asks himself as his thoughts of the multiverse came to mind. "Okay. Calm down Jack. You are a riolu now. What do you do when it feels like you got pulled from something, changed, and dropped into something else?" He asks himself as he holds his paws to his head before perking up. "Surroundings. I had to come with something." He said before trying to sit up…and falls flat on his face.

"Ow. Okay, crawling for now. Need to find stuff on the ground." He said to himself as picks himself up on his paws and legs before crawling around and bumps his snout on something hard. "Wha…hey! My IPhone! Whoo hoo!" He cheers as he jumps up in excitement and falls onto his back again. "Ow. This is getting old." He groans out as rolls over and grabs his phone and tries to turn it on and sees that the screen lit up. "Alright. I doubt the fingerprint would work. Luckily, I know my passcode." He said to himself as he laid on his stomach as he types in the code and it comes to the home screen. "Alright. It's all still there. Better save power for now." He said turning it off completely and looks to see a cord running from the bottom and follows it to his headphones that came with it. "Alright. I can enjoy my music at least…and not the crappy ones that the show had." He grumbled as he wrapped the cords and puts it down on the ground for now. "Okay, second assessment. Food, water, shelter. Pokémon love berries. There should be some." Jack said to himself as he sits up a bit and looks around.

He then sniffs something and keeps sniffing around before looking up. "Ah cool. Is that…?" He asks himself as he tries to the remember the blue round berries. "Whatever. Time to eat." He said running over on all fours haphazardly and trips a few times before stopping at the tree and looks up. "Oh right. I'm a riolu. Let's see."

"Need some help young one?" A female voice asks and Jack looks around and then looks up to see an owl pokemon on a branch. "You put on a good show like a newborn chick. Very funny." She said smiling.

"Can I help you?" Jack asks.

"No, but you might need help if the boss of the forest catches you stealing from his tree." The pokemon says.

Jack blinks. "I see. Then I guess I have to leave then and never come back?"

The pokemon nods. "Yes. But…since you seem like you are lost and new here, I'll give you some for the road." She said before using her wing and slices off two berries. "Here. Take these and get out of here with your human contraption that you probably stole."

"What was that about a human?" A big bear pokemon asks walking up.

Jack eeps. "Ursaring." He squeaked quietly.

"That little guy has a human device. He most likely stole it, but you know what that means." The owl says.

"Yeah, must be some nearby." Ursaring says.

Jack gulps as he tried to think of something fast. "Yeah…there's a camp about thataways." He said calmly as he points towards a random direction.

The ursaring growls quietly as he looks to the pup. "I'll go see about this camp. You deal with the pup." He said walking away towards Jack's pointed direction.

Jack gulps again as he watches him leave before sighing in relief as he went into the forest again. "As if human world bears weren't bad enough." He grumbled before a large leaf was dropped in front of him.

"I would get out of here now. Grab those berries and device and go. He really doesn't like liars." The owl said before taking off and into the direction of the ursaring.

Jack eeps again before taking the leaf and two berries before putting his phone into it and lifts it up before wrapping it around his neck and making a makeshift backpack. "Time to go." He said quickly before running on all fours as he still couldn't run on two like the show showed they could.

As he tried to move fast, he heard the owl pokemon start cracking up at his display.

Jack frowns as he heard the laughing, but didn't say anything as he sees the tree line and comes out into a field with a few dirt trail running through it. As he ran, he heard a roar from the Ursaring before a howl from what he assumed was a huge dog.

Jack yips like a frightened dog, as he was a dog type, and kept running toward the trails and notices a sign and stops in front of it. "Please don't be Mystery Dungeon." He pleaded and looks to see that he was near Jubilife City. "Thank goodness." He said in relief.

"Oh hey, a new pokemon." A preteen voice says.

Jack's eyes widen. "Wait…I'm not captured. Oh no!" He yelled to himself as he turns around to see a young girl with only one pokeball in her hand as she held a Pokedex. "Oh man!" He yelled and she heard, "Ri! Ri!"

"Oh man, this is super rare. Let's get him Poliwag!" The girl calls before throwing her pokeball.

Jack blinks as he stood still as the pokeball opened and a Poliwag materialized in front of him. "Poli!" It yelled as Jack still stared before snickering before laughing and pointing.

"You have to…you have to be kidding! This weakling? I wouldn't even choose these guys if I was a trainer!" Jack laughs.

"What did you say motherfucker?!" The poliwag yells.

Jack stops and looks up at it. "Wow. Didn't know pokemon curse. Then again, it was catered to kids." He said to himself.

"Poliwag, water gun!" The trainer yells.

"Poli…" The poliwag puffs as it blows itself up a bit and Jack blinks.

"Oh crap. Hey now!" He yells as he moves his waist and dodges the water gun as it hits the sign post. "Watch where you firing that thing!"

"Oh it will be a pleasure wailing on you." Poliwag says before firing again.

Jack yips and moves himself to the side before dropping his leaf backpack and tried to move around as it kept firing water guns. "Come on now! I didn't mean it like that!" He tried to reason.

"You called me weak!" The poliwag yells before firing again.

Jack then frowns as he kept hopping around. "Hang on. Why isn't that trainer telling him to do more? Shouldn't this little guy know more…" Jack grins. "Hey asshole! How do you feel about knowing only one move?!" He yells as he keeps hoping and moving closer.

"Why you…!" The poliwag yells before firing again and Jack ducks as he chuckles and slides closer before getting up close as he dodges to the side from another water gun. "Hi." Jack said as the poliwag went wide eye before Jack punches under him and sends him up a bit into the air before reeling his paw back and hits him straight into the spiral on his stomach and then slams his other paw onto his head and sends him to the ground. "How do you like that weakling?" Jack asks smirking.

"Damn…it." Poliwag says before fainting.

"Poli no!" The trainer calls running up and Jack, taking that as his cue to go for the woods as he grabs his leaf bag and heads towards the city.


"And that is how we will take over the city." A grimer says to three other grimers.

"P U!" Jack yells as he holds his nose. "What smells like dead…rattata and died?" Jack asks no one in particular as he walks down the side of the alley.

"Hey! Get out of here! This is our turf." A grimer calls.

Jack shrugs as he kept walking past them. "Passing through. Hate trainers officially now."

"Yeah, death to the humans!" The grimers start chanting.

Jack rolls his eyes as he starts to walk along the alleyway close to the streets. "Stupid slimes. I don't see why people would make them that close to sex objects if they stink like that."

He kept walking along before stopping at the alley exit and sees a park like area filled with some battle areas that were filled and people around the area watching and with their pokemon. "Maybe I can fit in." He said to himself as he looks to his legs and tries to stand as normal as possible before walking out slowly as the view was kept on the battles.

"Okay. This is working out. I can do this. Be a pokemon. Live a life…maybe evolve." Jack said to himself as he thinks about how he would be as a Lucario.

Jack hums softly as he bobs his head before blinking and looking to his leaf bag. "Haven't eaten yet." He said to himself as he looks around before walking to a far wall and sits down against the wall before taking out the blue berry. "If only I remember." He said before biting into it and stops. "This is…wow." He said smiling and starts to bite into it happily as he licks his lips. "No, bad riolu." He said slapping his other paw reaching for the last berry.

"Huh. You don't see that every day do you Snea?" Michael asks scratching a sneasel on his shoulder under the chin.

"Snee." Snea purred as she kept moving her chin more.

Jack keeps licking his lips before looking around a bit for anyone watching and reaches into his bag again and takes out his phone. "Wonder if the songs are still good?" He asks himself as he turns it on and tries to place the earbuds into his dog ears now.

"Now that is unusual." Snea says as Michael nods to whatever she said.

Jack chuckles as he kept bobbing his head along before stopping as he felt a gaze on him. "Wha…?" He asks himself as he looks to the crowd still focusing on the battles. "Who the heck is…?" He stops as he sees a male trainer and a sneasel watching him. "Oh crap." He said quickly packing up and runs out along the wall.

"Sneasel." Michael says and Sneasel smirks before taking off after him.

Jack yips as he runs off while holding onto his leaf bag and looks behind him to see the sneasel after him. "Ah! Leave me alone!" He yells as he looks around.

"Oh, what's wrong. Lose your trainer?" The sneasel asks landing in front of him.

Jack skids to a stop as he looks terrified a bit. "Um…hey! Look at that!" He yells pointing to the right before running to the left without waiting.

"That is the oldest trick in the book." The sneasel says catching his foot midair, stopping him in his tracks.

Jack yips as he fell and his berry and phone fell out. "Ah! Let me you bitch!" He yells as he tries to kick her away with his free foot.

"Do I have to discipline?" Sneasel asks holding him up by his foot.

Jack yips and close his eyes before covering his face with his paws. "Ah! Don't spank me…don't spank me." He said a bit more calmly after trying to think on it.

"Ok Snea, that's enough." Michael says before the Sneasel gives him Jack and he starts looking him over examining him.

Jack gulps as he stayed limp and looking for an opening. "Um…hi?"

"No collar and no sign of grooming…judging by the size and muscles, you are a baby, huh?" Michael asks.

"Who you calling a baby you kiddy?!" Jack yells as she shakes himself in his grip.

"You got spirit. I like that. You get separated from your mother or caretaker?" Michael asks.

Jack frowns and crosses his arms. "How about you go and fuck yourself?!" He yells pointing to him. "And maybe let me down. I'm getting dizzy." He said more calmly as he starts to move his head around.

Michael smiles before setting Jack on his feet and gives him his stuff off the ground.

Jack shakes his head as he tries to get his bearings back. "You know, you're the first person to not attack me. Since the first one was a mafia boss in a forest and the next one was a first time weak trainer." He said trying to walk around.

"What was that about a mafia boss?" Sneasel asks raising an eyebrow.

"Shut up bitch." Jack cursed as he leans on the wall and tries to walk along it as he holds his bag.

"Move it runt." A heavy set teenager says kicking Jack out of the way.

Jack grunts as he lands onto the ground and his bag spilled his berry and phone onto the ground. "Who you calling runt tubby?!" He yells and glares at the teenager as he shakes a paw at him.

The teen glares before kicking Jack again and just to be cruel, stomps on his berry.

Jack growls as he glares up to him and bears his teeth at him. "Why you…!"

"Hey!" A female voice yells and makes Jack stop growling and turn to see a vermilion headed teenager glaring at the fat guy.

Jack blinks and looks between the two. "Huh. I'm actually more afraid of her than him."

"That was uncalled for fatso." Michael says unhappy.

Jack blinks as he was able to stand up and look between them all. "You bitch. Explain." He said pointing to the Sneasel.

"Oh, looks like we are going to battle before we leave after all." Sneasel says smirking.

Jack blinks and tilts his head. "Really? I thought they were going old fashioned fisticuffs." He said giving a few air punches.

"What did you say?" The fat one asks.

"You heard me." Michael says not intimidated like some local kids were.

Jack holds up a paw to speak before stopping and slowly walks backward before slowly picking up his phone and leaf bag before walking away slowly. "Okay. Lucky break." Jack says before the female picks him up.

"You ok?" She asks checking him over.

Jack frowns and looks back at her as he looks at his back. "Hey, if you're going to stare there, you might want to look at the interspecies laws first."

"Why you…Croagunk! Teach him a lesson!" The fat male calls throwing a pokeball.

Jack looks to the Croagunk and blinks as it starts to croak. "Wow. Just as simple as the show. Wonder if he poison jabs the kid in the ass?"

"Oh, you want a battle huh? You mind if I take this? I can't stand self-important asses who like to bully baby pokemon." Michael says to the female.

"I'm not a baby!" Jack yells shaking himself in the female's grip.

The female frowns as she kept a grip on Jack. "Go ahead. I want to see you kick his ass and show him what prison would do."

"Well I don't have a poison type with me right now. So let's go with fire." Michael says seeing everyone making room and grabs a pokeball from his belt. "Here is something exotic for this region. Pyroar, time to battle." Michael says throwing the pokeball.

The fat kid blinks and looks over the cat like pokemon as it is mostly dark brown with light brown legs, tail tip, chest, and face. a long, gold and red mane extending from its forehead to the whole length of its body. "Huh. Easy. Croagunk. Poison jab!" He calls.

"Called it!" Jack cheers as his imagines the scene from the show on the fat kid.

"Pyroar, heat it up a bit will you?" Michael asks before the pokemon roared and the heat radiating from it skyrocketed.

Croagunk croaks out loud and tries to jab at it before stops from the intense heat and croaks in pain.

"Pyroar, flamethrower." Michael casually orders before Pyroar unleashes a torrent of fire from her mouth at the croagunk.

"Gunk!" Croagunk yells as he was covered in the flames and tries to cover himself up.

"Croagunk! Feint attack!" The fat kid yells as Jack raises an eyebrow at that and watches as the Croagunk shakes the flames off and quickly moves behind Pyroar and kicks her in her hindleg before moving to her side and jabs his hand into her side and pushes her a bit away.

"Pyroar, how do we respond to that?" Michael asks. Pyroar, hearing that, roars angrily before opening her mouth and creates an orange ball before releasing it in a wind of flames at the croagunk, overwhelming it.

"Croagunk!" The fat kid yells seeing him engulfed in flames before it settled to show croagunk pass out on the ground.

"That's enough Pyroar." Michael calls walks over to Pyroar then runs a hand through her mane, making her purr.

"Whipped!" Jack calls.

"Someone is enjoying being held." Sneasel says in a sing song voice.

Jack frowns and crosses his arms. "Shut up bitch."

"Sure language from a baby." A very mature female voice says.

Jack blinks and looks around before laying his eyes on the Pyroar eyeing him. "I'm not a baby! How many times do I have to say it?!" He yells as the fat kid runs off after bringing croagunk back to him.

"But you are. Just look at you." Sneasel says snickering.

Jack growls and huffs as he turns his head away.

"What do we have here?" The female asks picking up the tied up phone as she still held onto Jack.

"Hey! Give that back!" Jack yelled reaching for it.

"I think he wants it back." Michael says.

The female looks between Jack and the phone. "A pokemon with this?" She asks as Jack strains to grab his phone.

Michael shrugs as the female holds the phone closer and Jack snatches it and hugs it close. "Who are you anyway?"

"Oh, I am Zoey." The female greets.

"Zoey huh…oh now I remember. You are this region's contest champion right?" Michael asks.

Zoey smiles. "Yeah. Nice to meet a fan…you are a fan right?" She asks raising an eyebrow.

"I…I'm not sure I count. I have watched your region's contests before I came here from Kalos." Michael said a bit nervously.

Jack blinks. "Kalos? Isn't that what I have been reading of the new games…or was that strange region the fanfic guys came up with?"

"Kalos huh? That is far away. No wonder I have never heard of a pokemon like this before." Zoey says looking over Pyroar.

"Ah. It's nice to be appreciated." Pyroar said smiling.

Michael was about to say something when Jack's stomach rumbles.

Jack looks down to his stomach before looking to the smashed berry on the ground. "Aw man. That was my last one." He said slouching before looking to Zoey. "Put me down."

"Seems he is hungry." Michael says.

"Oh what a fucking surprise. What's the first clue? Me licking my lips or my stomach screaming for food?" Jack grumbled.

"Should we get this little guy something?" Zoey asks.

"After you." Michael offers.

Jack groans as he was carried along. "I'm not a baby." He kept grumbling.

Not ten minutes later, Jack had a plate full of berries in front of him. "Eat up. A growing pokemon needs its strength." Nurse Joy says.

Jack raises an eyebrow at her and sighs. "The only woman I can't curse out." He said before grabbing a berry and biting into it. "Not bad." He said before going back to his old habits and takes out his phone and starts to look through it to see if anything was still working as he kept eating. "Wonder if the Wi-Fi works?" He asks with his mouth full.

Nurse Joy blinks confused as the little riolu was actually using a human device with ease. 'Well isn't that strange?' She thinks to herself before walking away.

Jack hums as he goes to the settings and tries to set himself up. "Wa…oh man." He said seeing that it failed to connect. "You have to be kidding."

"So what are you planning? Going to compete in the contests again this year?" Michael asks.

Zoey nods. "Might as well. It's not bad trying to compete over and over again. Besides, I have to hold my title."

"I see. I wonder how your region's gym leaders are?" Michael asks out loud.

Zoey shrugs. "You can try. Who know, you might get into the league."

"So you traveling alone?" Michael asks.

Zoey smiles. "Well that depends, do you mean with Pokemon or without?"

"I brought mostly a new team to train here so yes, but I mean with any other humans." Michael specified.

Zoey shakes her head. "Not really. It's mostly on and off around here."

"Would you consider it?" Michael asks feeding Pyroar some meat.

Zoey smirks. "You mean me and you traveling around together?"

"Well it wouldn't hurt…also, what do with that little guy?" Michael asks.

Zoey looks over to the riolu glaring at his device. "Don't know. Maybe keep him for now and see where it goes?"

"What do you think Pyroar?" Michael asks.

Pyroar grows playfully as she looks to Jack and smirks.

"Will you watch out for him?" Michael asks petting her.

Pyroar nods as she thinks of ways to teach Jack.

"So what do you think?" Michael asks Zoey.

Zoey smiles. "Sure. Could be fun."

"Alright. I guess I should bring out all my pokemon to feed and introduce you." Michael says before tossing up four pokeballs.

Zoey smiles as she watches the four being released and a charmander, jolteon, archen, and a ralts cry out and stretch as they were released. "Wow. Not bad a team and an archen? How did you get that little guy?"

"Well…let's say I did a pokemon lab researching the cloning of ancient pokemon back into existence and leave it at that please." Michael requests.

Zoey holds up a hand. "Okay. I'll stop. So what are you doing here anyway?"

"Truth be told…looking for a new challenge." Michael says as ralts sat on the table facing him and he gives her an oran berry.

Zoey raises an eyebrow as the ralts bites into the large berry. "Usually you can just challenge the league and be done there."

"Well yes, but I wanted a new challenge as I competed in my region's league four times now and to get registered, it got a little repetitive." Michael says.

Zoey blinks and chuckles amused. "Wow. Four times? Did you ever place in first?"

"I got in the top eight the last three times, but sad to say, the battles the last time was repetitive and me and my team lost interested. So I am hoping a new region will get me excited about competing again." Michael says.

Zoey hums. "You know, being champion, it's always too good to be true. How much do you like attention?" She asks scratching the jolteon under her chin.

"That's a good question." Michael says as charmander walked up to Jack.

Jack blinks and looks to the little flame pokemon coming up to him. "At least you are popular enough that I know about you." He muttered as he looks over his phone to think about the long run.

"So you are a baby too huh?" Charmander asks.

Jack groans. "I keep telling that I am not a baby. I'm twenty." He harshly said.

"Twenty days huh?" Pyroar asks before lifting him up by the scruff of his neck and puts him into her paws before she starts licking him.

Jack eeps and tries to wiggle away. "Years! And cut that out!"

"Cleaning him huh?" Sneasel asks watching.

Jack tries to push Pyroar's head away. "Cut that out! I don't need a bath!"

"She won't stop. Best to like the den mother do her thing." Ralts says shyly.

"Fuck that!" Jack yells trying to still get away.

Pyroar didn't let up in fact she seemed to tighten her grip on the struggling Jack.

"He seems cranky. Should he be put to bed?" Sneasel teases and smirks.

"I am considering it." Pyroar says continuing to clean him.

Jack growls. "Would you cut it out now!"

"How is cleaning him going?" Sneasel asks.

Pyroar chuckles. "All done." She said putting him down and he immediately gags and starts wiping himself down with some napkins nearby.

"So what do you think about your new son so far?" Sneasel asks.

"I have so much to teach him." Pyroar said holding a paw to her chin.

"So tell me, how is he compared to a fighting type right now?" Sneasel asks.

Pyroar hums. "Seems he still needs to grow into it, but he does have some potential."

"Well thanks for the vote of confidence mom." Jack calls out as he grabs a berry and starts looking around the place.

"So what pokemon do you currently have?" Michael asks.

Zoey smiles and takes out her pokeballs. "Why don't I let them out? Time for them to eat and rest anyway." She said throwing up all six of her pokeballs and out came glameow, mismagius, gastrodon, lumineon, gallade, and leafeon. "Hey guys. Meet our new friends."

"Still got the winning team huh?" Michael asks as Leafeon looks to Jolteon and Pyroar.

Zoey chuckles. "They are my close friends. It's only right that I let them stick with me through thick and thin."

"Sounds good." Michael says as Jolteon looks at Leafeon curiously.

Jack hums as he kept looking around. "Knife, wires, plug. I can do this. Seen dad do it a lot." He said to himself as he looks closely to a plug. "Japan influence indeed."

"Take a look at our Eeveelutions." Michael says noticing it as Jolteon boops Leafeon's nose with a paw.

Leafeon chuckles and boops her back the same way. "Aw, that's cute. Looks like I'm staying with you." Zoey said smiling.

"Thanks. I was worried I would get lost in this region when I got off the plane." Michael says.

Zoey laughs. "You're lucky you're with me now. I have been around this region at least two times so I'm going to be your guide."

"Thank you again." Michael says as Lumineon was put into a small pool of water.

Zoey waves him off. "It's fine. Can't leave a little lost goldeen out of water."

"I think Magikarp would be more accurate." Michael jokes.

Zoey chuckles. "At least you are finding your way to water. Goldeen works."

"So tell me Zoey, I'm not coming off like an ass just trying to ride your coattails to fame right?" Michael asks.

Zoey smirks and raises an eyebrow. "Well you haven't been asking much about it. Mostly about the region and how to get around. You're a nice enough guy."

"Thanks…you have had experience with those types right?" Michael asks.

Zoey nods. "Tons. Mostly at the contest arenas."

"And the times you have been asked out?" Michael jokes.

Zoey chuckles and grins. "Same amount. Some by girls. Almost a third really."

"Why do you think they that you're a les?" Michael asks causing her to chuckle nervously.

Zoey shrugs. "Hey, you won't know until you try."

"Ral." Ralts says pulling Michael's sleeve.

"What's wrong? You want another one?" Michael asks as Zoey notices the Ralts was blue where it should be green.

"Shiny huh?" Zoey asks.

"Oh yeah. Lulu here is the child of one of my original team. I was a little surprised when she hatched." Michael says giving her another oran berry and pets her head.

Zoey tilts her head. "Lulu huh?"

"Yeah, I thought it suited her." Michael says as she nibbles on the oran berry.

Zoey chuckles. "How old is she?"

"Two months and four days." Michael says as Charmander was testing the water with her clawed foot.

"Don't dip yourself too much. That fire tail is your life." Jack said passing by with ripped out wire and plug on one end that he was looking over.

"You mind splashing Mr. know it all for me?" Charmander asks Lumineon.

Lumineon smirks and flaps his fin and splashes Jack who recoiled. "Hey! Watch the wire!" Jack yelled as he hurried to dry it off. "Try to care and you get splashed in the face. Feels like I'm at a bar."

"Momma Pyroar, I think he needs to be cleaned again." Charmander calls.

Jack yips and runs off. "No way jose!"

"Do you mind helping with your psychic attack?" Pyroar asks Mismagius.

"Mis." She said before her eyes light up and Jack couldn't move.

"Hey! What's going on?!" Jack yelled trying to move.

"Just set him in my forepaws." Pyroar says laying down again.

"No! Not a tongue bath! I don't want a tongue bath!" Jack yells as he kept trying to move.

"Looks like the little one is getting a second one." Michael says chuckling.

Zoey laughs as Jack was dropped into Pyroar's paws and she started to lick him as Jack kept trying to get away. "Just like a kid."

"So what were your plans, head out today or later in the week?" Michael asks.

Zoey hums. "Well what were you planning? Was it passing through or see something?"

"Actually…" Michael blushes as he pulls out a few maps of the region.

Zoey raises an eyebrow. "Lost?"

"Buying maps." Michael says.

Zoey chuckles. "Okay. How about this? What do you want to see in this region first?"

"I hear that east from here is Oreburgh City. That interests me as there is a gym there and they dig for pokemon fossils and clone them there." Michael says.

Zoey smiles. "Alright. Next stop is Oreburgh City."

"So obvious!" Jack calls as he quit trying to get out and just ended up crossing his arms and tries to endure the tongue bath.

Pyroar, seeing this, snuggles him.

Jack rolls his eyes as he looks to wire. "Knife, plug, sheathing." He mutters to himself.

"So when do we leave?" Michael asks.

Zoey sighs. "Well when can you be ready?"

"I'll let you choose." Michael says as their pokemon continue to interact.

Zoey smiles. "Well since it's getting close to sundown, we can head out tomorrow. I'll get us some rooms. Play nice guys." She said getting up and going to the front desk.

"You want to go interact?" Michael asks Lulu.

Lulu nods and takes the last bite of her oran berry. "Ral."

"Go make new friends." Michael says picking her up and sets her down on the floor.

Lulu smiles and walks off as she heads toward Jack who was pouting. "I'm not a baby." He kept muttering.

"He is cute one isn't he Lulu?" Sneasel asks.

Lulu nods as he kept muttering. "Cute." She said tilting her head.

"He's a punk." Charmander says.

"Oh, you're still mad he told you not to do that, aren't you Eruption?" Sneasel asks.

Eruption nods as she frowns.

Sneasel chuckles watching all of this as Pyroar lays her head on Jack's.

Jack growls under his breath as he scrunches up his snout. "Let go of me."

"I'm not done little cub." Pyroar says.

"I'm not a baby!" Jack yells.
