Chapter 2: Have you Patrats
*Flashback Starts (9 years ago)
"Hey Mom, what's a Lucario", I asked.
"Lucario is a pokemon that can sense Pokémon's emotions by using aura", she answered
"What's a Zoroark then" I asked again.
"Well Zoroark are basically the opposite of Lucario, instead of auras, they shape shift", she answered back.
"Ok mom, see you later", I shouted. I ran swiftly out of the house and headed to Route 1. Suddenly, out of nowhere, came a Lucario. Lucario were usually friendly, however, this one looked super mad and powerful. I tried backing off, however, the Lucario seem to have an army with him, a bunch of Patrats. They glared at me, with their creepy eyes. So terrifying. Before I backed up further, the Lucario charge a big, navy blue plasma ball at me. I was unable to move a muscle, however, out of nowhere, another dark plasma ball hit the plasma ball which cancelled each other.
I was amazed at this, turning back, seeing another Lucario. This one looked perfectly normal. However, the evil Lucario summoned his Patrat army to attack the Lucario. However, the Lucario just roared at the opposing Patrat, and they ran away. So, the only pokemon left were the evil Lucario and the normal Lucario.
The evil Lucario attacks with an attack that looks like a poisonous jab, and reveals that it's a Zoroark. The Zoroark then jumps and spin past the Lucario and attacks from the back. It was like a U-Turn. However, the Lucario then ducked but gets some damage and makes the Zoroark bite me to stop. Suddenly, the Lucario falls to the ground, meaning that there must have been something wrong with it. The Zoroark stared at me and said
"Are you ok"
"Orengi, where are you", shouted my mom.
"I ran back home and asked
"What happens if you get bitten by a Zoroark," I asked?
"Legend says that those that are pure of heart, can survive, other turn evil, take effect after an hour", she answered.
*Flashback End
"It's been 9 years, after the Zoroark bit me, what are the effects of this", I wondered?
"Maybe if I focus, I would, whoa"
-Orengi Transforms into a tree
"This is freaking sick, bro, how bout"
-Orengi Transforms into an Ariados.
"Not what I want, but still a spider", I thought
-Ariados climbs up the tree
"Whoa, their abilities too. How about"?
-Orengi Transforms into a Greninja.
"Let's do this"
*Time Past (1 hour)
"This is sick, I should call this, The Transforming Defender"，I said
"WHO'S THERE, PATRAT ARMY, ATTACK!" shouted a voice
-Orengi Transforms into a Heracross with skill link
"You brought this upon yourself, Patrat Army", I screamed. Within some time, the whole Patrat army was down.
"Well Played Heracross, But TAKE THIS" said the King Watchog
"Come on Pokedex" I said

"Well, ok then, this should work", I said
-Orengi Transforms into a Spiritomb
"Your leader can't even hit me, unless he has Crunch", I taunted "What you guys doing, Spiritomb got your tongue, this is fun, well, DARK PULSE", I screamed. The dark pulse was so powerful, that it one shot all the patrats. All that was left, was the King Watchog.
"Best you can do, Spiritomb?" he said while taking a fighting stance.
-Battle begins
"Crunch" screamed King Watchog
"Dark Pulse, I have a 3.5% chance of 2HKO" I screamed. "Wow, not only could I understand Pokemon and transform, I was smart too", I thought to myself.
"Bullet Seed" said King Watchog
"Hypnosis-Dream Eater Combo" I shouted out the top of my lungs. The Hypnosis-Dream Eater Combo was Hypnosis, then dream eater.
-Watchog Faints
"You… Shall… Pay… Foresight…Endeavor…
Suddenly, I felt weaker, like I was about to faint. King Watchog got up and fled, however. "Pain Spilt, splits the pain", I shouted and got my health back.
-Orengi Transforms back to normal
"Hope no one saw this", I muttered. However, I saw a Patrat at the corner. "Oh well, it's just a Patrat, what a sec, an Aura Guardian could probably communicate with it, well no matter, there are very few Aura Guardians around", I thought. I started heading back to Nuvema Town. Suddenly, I saw a Patrat infestation at Nuvema Town and took a fighting stance.
"Go Oshawott, Tepig and Snivy" I whispered.
"Oshawott, use Water Gun, Snivy, use Vine Whip and Tepig use Ember" I whispered. "Since the Patrat were facing forward, and not facing me. Patrats could detect people in front, however, could not detect the opposite direction", I thought. Within a few seconds, the Patrats were on the floor, unable to battle.
-Oshawott, Tepig and Snivy levelled up.
"Quick, let's head to the lab, let's see if Professor Juniper is there", I said. We swiftly dashed straight into the lab and saw Professor Juniper on the stairs and using a Minccino
"Guys, go help Professor Juniper and that Minccino, Pokedex, activate"

"Oshawott, use Water Gun, Snivy, use Vine Whip and Tepig use Ember", I said confidently.
"Minccino, use your Swift!" Professor Juniper shouted. Despite the many Patrats, using teamwork, we still managed to take them down.
"Thanks a bunch for coming in the lab to help, but with all those Patrats, it may take quite a lot of time, even with the help of my Level 21 Minccino and everyone's pokemon.
"I agree, wait, do you have Sing on that Minccino?" I asked.
"You know what, that's true, I do have Sing", she replied.
"That's great, Snivy, use your vines to lift Minccino out the door so that Minccino can use Sing to make the Patrats go to sleep", I commanded. I opened the door wide enough for Minccino and Snivy's vines to fit outside. After Minccino got all the pokemon sleeping, we ran outside and went to the other people house to make the Patrats sleep. Though making the Patrats sleep was a good idea, the people inside would also be asleep. Once we made sure that all the Patrats were asleep, me and Professor Juniper started fighting the Patrats while they were asleep
*Time Skip (3 hours later)
I never thought that there were so many Patrats, however, when there are many pokemon to defeat, there's also pokemon levelling up. Since my pokemon were Level 8. In the span of 3 hours, they should evolve, just when I was about to lose hope, and after beating the 3 final Patrats (each one for each starter), Snivy, Oshawott and Tepig started flashing and glowing at once. Everyone in the town came over to see the commotion, even Professor Juniper. After the starters stop glowing, and became their new forms, I started shouting "Yes, yes, yes, you evolved. I quickly hugged them and scanned them

"This is AWESOME!" I shouted.
"My, my, Orengi, you should challenge the regions gyms and the trails in Alola", Professor Juniper said.
"Can I mom, please", I asked.
"Of course, Orengi, please be careful, but I have not prepared anything yet" Mom replied
"It's ok, I have a robotic backpack that sorts and holds items, can transform into a pc, computer, healing center and jetpack, you need to have this as a reward, especially after you saved Nuvema Town for the Patrat infestation," Professor Juniper commented. "However, I need to deliver something to Professor Oak, could you help Orengi".
After saying my farewells, and thanks, I flew to over to Kanto to help Professor Juniper deliver her item to Professor Oak and start my pokemon journey.
Reasons:
Why the title "Have you Patrats"?
Ans: I know it's sound weird, but it fits the chapter, a Patrat infestation and it's a pun
Why Kanto?
Ans: It's the first generation and the games that most people grew up with
Why be the "Transforming Defender" and not an Aura Guardian?
Ans: Lucario, to me (and quite a lot of people) is a sick and awesome pokemon. It even has been showed in the amine quite a lot of times.
Gen 4: Maylene
Gen 5: Cameron
Gen 6: Korrina
Gen 7/1(because it was in Kanto, but the movie came during the time of Gen 7): Sorrel
Despite, Lucario being so famous, I thought, how about be like N, he can talk to pokemon. Zoroark is also pretty cool, but doesn't get much attention, so I thought, I'm giving it some attention.
Why a Patrat infestation?
Fits the title, and is like the episode in Alola that Ash challenges his first trail and tells Gumshoes to help stop the Rattata Infestation.
I'll also put a Q and A here, so if you have any suggestions or feedback, please put them in the reviews. If they are questions, private message me and if it has something to do with this book, it will be added here. I'll see you in the next chapter.
