Pokemon Online

Chapter 3

At school, the next day.

"What? A new game for the nervegear? What is it this time?" Ryoutarou, or more commonly known as Klein, asked Kazuto.

"Well, you know the old Pokemon franchise?" Kazuto replied.

"Yeah... Wait, is it what I think it is? A MMO Pokemon game for the Nervegear?"

"You got it."

"YES! This has been my dream ever since they announced the Nervegear! I have wanted to play a Pokemon MMO game since I was like 13, but on the Nervegear would be awesome!"

"Yeah, Asuna, Andrew, and I completed up to the first gym, and If you wanna join us in our group, that would be cool."

"Awesome, I'll buy it later today."

"Hey, we overheard the conversation. We want oin on this game too!" Keiko, or Silica said, with Liz behind her.

"Oh, hey you two! Yeah, you can join us, the game is called Pokemon Online, by the way," Kazuto said casually.

Later, on Pokemon Online.

"Everyone ready? We need to finish this next gym, so that we can go to the Pokemon league!" Asuna said.

They had all been on the game for hours, clearing out the Kanto region. Klein had kinda spoiled the story line of the first generation games, about how Giovanni was the 8th gym leader and leader of Team Rocket all at once... After a few harsh words from the group, and a personal beating by Liz, they all cleared out the next six gyms with ease, and are now about to clean up the 8th gym in Kanto. It is fairly easy with a group of six, after all.

Kirito had only caught two other pokemon, a male Nidoran, and a Magicarp (everyone laughed as he learned that it could only splash), making his team at the 8th gym Charizard, Nidoking, and Gyrados. Asuna evolved her Pikachu and caught a Vulpix, making her team Blastoise, Raichu, and Ninetails.

"Silica! Make your Haunter put his Rhydon to sleep, It is damaging my Pidgeot too much with rock type moves!" Shouted Klein. Since there was six people on their team, Giovanni sent out all six of his Pokemon to take them on, but the battle works like this. You can only attack the Pokemon that are close to you, sort or like triple battles from 5th and 6th gen. So if a Pokemon is 4 away from yours, then you cannot attack it.

"Kirito! His Nidoqueen is all that remains. Finish it!" Asuna exclaimed. Everyone else had Pokemon too far away, or all of them had fainted, so Kirito had to finish it off.

"Charizard, use Flare Blitz!"

"RAAAAAAWR!"

Leader defeated, Giovanni! Popped up in big text in their vision lines.

"We did it!" Everyone shouted.

"Alright, it's getting pretty late, and I need to go to bed, so I'll see you all later. Lets play tommorow, okay? Lisbeth said.

"Yeah, I should get off too, I got some things to do," Klein replied.

Everyone then procceded to sing out. Kirito was happy to see that the log out option was still there. He knew that it was there to stay, but this game did seem kind of suspicious to him, as if it wasn't created simply for the leisure of players...

At Katsumi Shigeru's secret hideout.

"So, the famous Kirito is playing my game, huh? Splendid. I think that I will test it on him. I would like to watch this "Hero" suffer. Heh." Shigeru muttered to himself, making him sound just like the madman that he is.

"Yuuma! How much longer until the code is complete?" Shigeru shouted.

The man named Yuuma replied in a scarily quiet tone, "Well, the human brain is the most complex computer of them all, it might be many more months before we can write a code that can actually alter someon-"

"SCILENCE!" Shigeru boomed. "We need that code to be complete sooner than I expected. People are clearing through the game at an insanely fast pace. I want there to be as many people to be playing the game as possible once that code is done. I want to have a large unit... No. An ARMY at my command. Do you understand me? I need that code completed A.S.A.P., and I also want for the game to be harder. I don't want people to clear the game and be done with it before I can use them. Do you hear me?"

"Y-Yes sir."

"Oh, and also, make the game more appealing to buy. Don't make it too hard that people want to stop playing, just make it escallate to be very difficult in later unlocked regions. We need a bigger ad campaign too, so that more people will buy and play the game. Make sure that no one figures out our real company name or what we intend to do. Do you understand?"

"Of course master. My co-workers and I will get on it right away."

"Good. Oh, and one more thing. Kirito is an extraordinary gamer, he has done the impossible in other games on the VR systems. It makes me very curious what tricks he has up his sleeves. Keep a person or two to analyze his behavior and thoughts at all times, okay? If anyone is going to foil our plan, it will be him, no doubt about it."

"So, you want us to spy on him, is basically what you are trying to tell me. Does that mean in real life, in game, or both?"

"Both. Find out his name and where he lives first. Make sure that he does not notice anything. It is very crucial that he does not find out about anything that we are planning. He is a very dangerous fellow to our plans, and he is not to be underestimated. Got it?"

"Of course sir."

"Good, now get to work."

"Yes sir."

At Kazuto's house.

"Brother, you can't be going on the Nervegear so late at night, Mom and I will worry that you are trapped again..." Sugu said, annoyed at Kazuto for being on until 2 in then morning.

"Oh, come on. That will never, ever happen again. Besides, we don't have school tommorow, so what's the big hassle of getting off early? And, besides, what are you doing up so late anyway?!" Kazuto exclaimed.

Sugu was fast to respond. "Never mind that. Anyway, if your game is so fun that you stay up this late to play it, you wouldn't mind me joining you, right? I mean, it's only 6,000 yen, I can get it no problem."

"Err... We all got to far into it, we don't really want to baby you through the first part of the game, and the maximum number of people can be in a battle together is six. With you, we would have seven people."

"I can catch up, and im sure that there is a way to have ome team of four and another team of three take on trainers at the same time, while in different battles."

"You make a point... Alright, you can join us. (Sugu says "Yay!" After hearing this.) However, we will not baby you through the start, and you have to catch up to us on your own. Think you can handle it?"

"Oh, please. I'm not a baby, I can manage. I will get the game at like 10:00 tommorow. Can you come with me?"

"Yeah, yeah. Just go to bed already."

"Alright, goodnight Kazuto."

"G'night."

The next day, At Kazuto's house.

"Come on Kazuto, get up! I want to go get my copy of Pokemon Online right now!" Sugu complained. It is now 9:45 AM, and Kazuto is having trouble getting up.

An annoyed Kazuto asked, "Come on, it's not even 10:00 yet. Why do we have to go now?"

"Because I want to start as soon as I can so that I can catch up to you guys!"

Kazuto sighed. He did not want to get up at this time, especially since he fell asleep at 2 AM last night. "Ugh, fine. Let's get this overwith.

"Awesome! Get dressed, we can stop for breakfast on the way."

Kazuto and Sugu got ready and headed out to go buy Sugu her game. They got breakfast on the way there, like Sugu said, and are now walking into the game store.

"That will be 6,000 Yen, please." The cash register person saud to Sugu, as she got her copy of the game. "Hey, you look familiar. Didn't you already buy this game?" The cashier said to Kazuto, a suspicious tone in his voice.

"Yeah, I did. This copy is for her though." Kazuto replied, while pointing his thumb at Sugu."We want to play the game together, and the only other game she has for Nervegear is the original ALFheim, which obviously got shut down.

"Oh, I see. Wait, could you two be the famous sibling duo that figured out what the GM was planning for that game?!"

"Yeah, I am Kirito, and she was Leafa."

"Wow, that's amazing! Could I please have your name?"

"The name is Kirigaya. Now, if you would excuse us, we have places to be. Come on, Sugu."

"Coming." Sugu said calmly.

"Alright, goodbye guys!" The cashier said. When they exited the shop, the cashier pulled out a cell phone, and hit a speed dial number. "Yeah, it's me. I found out Kirito's identity. Yep. Kirigaya. Not sure if it is family name or givin name, he did not specify. Yes. Got it. Bye."

While walking home.

"Hey, Sugu," Kazuto whispered at an almost inaudible volume. "Have you noticed that guy following us? He came out of the game store about five seconds after we left, and he has been staying about 5 meters behind us at all times."

"Yeah, it is kinda suspicious. Let's take a turn down a side road and see if he follows us." Sugu replied in a whisper just as quiet.

"Okay, good idea."

The two of them proceeded down the side road. They then noticed that the man did not follow them down the road, and kept walking forward.

Kazuto felt relieved. "Phew. I seriously thought that he was following us."

"Yeah, me too. Let's head home now."

"Alright."

At Kazuto's house.

"So, are you going to play now, Kazuto?" Sugu asked.

"Nah, I think that I'm gonna go see Asuna for a while before I get on. It just doesn't feel as real when I play with her on Nervegear, and I want to see her in real life." Kazuto replied coolly. Authough that was not his intenton, he couldn't tell his beloved Sugu what he was actually planning.

"Well, I know that, dummy. It gives me some time to catch up to you guys anyway, so I'm happy."

"Alright, be back later Sugu."

"See ya."

'Now,' Kazuto thought. 'Time to see who was following me, and what buisness they have doing so.'

Hope you have enjoyed the third chapter! I'm sorry that it took so long to get out, I have been busy doing... Oh, wait. Haha, I procrastinate WAY too much. I will try my best to get chapter four out sooner than this one. Also, I want to make my chapters longer, but I don't know how people do it, making chapters that seem endless. If you have any tips, PLEASE tell me, because I am so clueless on how to actually write this, I just think that the idea is cool. Anyway, In case you forgot, Katsumi Shigeru was the last owner of Nintendo before the "Nintendo incitent of 2015." Don't worry, you will find out soon enough what that is. That's all I got, so I hope that you have a nice day!

Once again, I do not own SAO or Pokemon.
