Call from Another World

Chapter 3

Author: Hey everyone welcome to Chapter 3 of this story. Hope you all have been doing well the past three months.

Got a lengthy (lengthy for my stories anyway) C.F.A.W. chapter here to hopelessly make up for this disappearance, so I hope you're ready. Give me feedback if you want.

Anyway, I don't own Pokémon and of course, please enjoy.


I held my stomach with a tight grip, this feeling...I knew it all too well. It was something I had to deal with everyday.

I was obviously worrying Dalieya to death, she wouldn't stop shaking me. I managed to get one word out of my mouth.

"Hungry…" I told her and I left her with a blank expression on her face and she was silent.

I raised my eyebrow, confused despite the severe level of agony I felt in my belly, but the pain I didn't see coming was Dalieya smacking on my head with a couple of Shadow Claws, which really fucking hurt!

"Ken you idiot! You were only hungry why didn't you just say something you scared the life out of me." She growled at me angrily as my face laid into the ground under me and I was holding my head instead of my stomach now.

"Sorry...I just react to hunger differently from normal people…"

"Note to self...try not to worry Dalieya anymore. Geez…" I thought to myself regretfully, but I didn't think she would overreact to that...then again I have never done it front of others before.

The Mightyena sighed not really wanting to stay mad at me.

"Well...I guess I should calm down. We've only knew each other for a day I suppose." She giggled as if the previous scene never happened.

After picking myself up I looked around for my bag. Once I saw it, I walked over to it weakly and began to search through it.

It was a pretty large bag if I didn't mention it before, but now that I think about it...how did pokemon trainers keep all of that crap in one bag. It's beyond me.

"Yes, awesome."

At least the hungry part of my body took this rather seriously besides most of the other parts of me, I guess I think more with my gut than my head sometimes.

I had nothing much, just some sandwiches I had cooked just in case. They were inside a nifty container I had for storing small food stock.

Mmmm, ham, pepperoni, bacon and cheese...my favorite and best. Seriously, try it...

Dalieya walked over to me with a confused look.

"I guess you don't know what this is, to put it simple. It's food, even if i'm sure these exist here. Here, try one."

People back at home would probably think I went crazy sharing food with someone, I was just being nice since I don't even know when was the last time she ate.

She started to take small bites out of the sandwich I held to her before she ate the rest of it whole, as I did the same with the majority.

Because of my eating issue, however all of that was gone. I was only lucky I had a fast metabolism otherwise I would be much bigger than I am now.

My body had more than just that I guess, because I was actually built rather well, considering I don't get near as much time to work out as I used to have.

"I should've asked earlier, but where are we exactly? Also, where were we even heading to?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about it! This is the Axael region, why is it called that? I honestly have no clue."

"Pretty much like someone took two syllables of a word and switched them around, how original. Not like I can do much better anyway, so go on."

Dalieya nodded.

"Mhm, the region is actually based on innovation as well as constant change, I have only seen some of the places but none of them are the same as the last. We're at the near end of the Verdant Plains, or simply just Route 12. It's a very wide an open space as I am sure you have noticed with trees growing here and there."

"Alright, fair enough. Now where are we headed?"

"Looking over to the northeast, we'll soon be in Occed city. Don't mind the strange name, the city itself is mostly just a plain city. There's fashion stores, restaurants, just about anything you can think of. There's a lot of people running around, though."

Dalieya obviously seemed rather shy around a lot of people, which I found sort of odd but it wasn't a bother to me.

"So that's where we're going now, eh? Doesn't sound too bad." I replied crossing my arms.

"Yes, mostly so I can become your official first pokemon when we reach the pokemon center!"

The hyena gave me a huge smile which could only make me laugh, at least she was eager and motivated. I couldn't help myself from liking her just a bit more.

Zipping up my bag and pulling it over my back once again, the two of us made quick progress toward Occed. It was maybe around twenty to thirty minutes of walking before we made it, finally.


The city was huge, lots of places to explore. Buildings were like an average of 10 feet tall, and Dalieya was not kidding about the hustling of all of the people here. The main problem was trying to find out where to go, and since most of the people were taller than me, I couldn't see anything.

"Well dang. Where do we go from here?" I asked trying to stand on my toes to scope through all of the people while there wasn't even a chance.

"I'm sure you noticed i'm a bit shy around this many other people." She gave a shy giggle. "I can still show you the way to the pokemon center though, no problem."

The Mightyena led the way as I followed right by her side, a couple of unfamiliar faces staring here and there, I continued to act casually as I always did, slipping my hands in my pocket.

While we were walking, we heard a wolf whistle our way. Turning to where it was, the two of us saw two pokemon walking our way.

One being a Torracat, while the other being an Umbreon who gave me a wink as he passed by.

"Nice catch of the day, my dude."

The two walked away as if not saying anything at all, leaving me with an awkward blush on my face since I caught the double meaning in that sentence. Peeking to Dalieya, she looked like she was blushing too, but she didn't seem to be hiding it with that smile of hers.

"Anyway!" I exclaimed to get my mind off of it. "Should we be getting to somewhere?"

About a couple of more minutes of walking and we were finally there at the pokemon center. The building wasn't as tall as most of the others, I would estimate about 3 stories high. The only reason I could tell it apart was that it had that familiar orange roof with the pokeball on it.

We went inside, it was honestly a rather refreshing place, the first time I have felt the great AC in like...a day I guess.

"So...what do we do here?"

"Well, I am not necessarily your pokemon. That means anyone can catch me if they wanted to, wouldn't want that would we? Also, you told me you were seventeen, so you would need to be registered in the training system...or whatever it's called."

Dalieya mulled her head over as I nodded.

"Sounds simple enough, I suppose."

I walked straight up to the main counter with Dalieya following close behind me. Nurse Joy looked different than her other counterparts, her hair was much longer than it would usually be. Heh, regional differences are strange.

Still, she put the 'joy' in her greeting to me, so I couldn't complain.

"Hello! Welcome to the pokemon center! What can I do for you today?"

"Uh, hey." I said with an awkward wave. "Few things, first I would like to be a registered trainer, if that's alright with you."

"Sure, that'll be just fine! I just need to see a little ID and you'll be all taken care of!"

"ID huh? Do I even have any valid info on me at all here?" I nodded to her anyway even though I was planning to pull out a lie just in case.

When I reached into my pocket however, I did not feel my wallet. There was only a single plastic card in there, which I pulled out and it did not look recognizable to me at all.

Though, it actually had my name, the date I was born, as well as other info that I didn't bother to look into at the moment. I simply gave her the card.

She inserted it into some machine, waited a few minutes before giving it back to me. Apparently I didn't see any difference besides the marking in the back of the card.

"Your parents must have a lot of money." Nurse Joy told me, making rather curious because I only had thirty dollars in my wallet, which disappeared so…

I took a closer look at my card, this time looking at all of the details.

Name: Kenny

Age: 17

Birth: 02/10/99

ID: 25935

Registered: January 25, 2017

Money: 3,000,000

"Eh!? Okay, maybe I didn't see that right..."

I looked again, and sure enough my eyes weren't deceiving me...I was rich! I was so freaking rich I felt like I could cry...but wait, then again thinking about how fast I could go through it in a world like this I held my excitement.

Of course Dalieya couldn't have been any more confused about this.

"One more thing, I would like to make this lady over here my pokemon." I referred to the hyena right beside me. "You see, her trainer is...well gone. We partnered up just recently so I was wondering if you could do that."

"Oh...I understand. I'm sorry for your lost. May you give me the trainer's name?"

"It's Sanin."

Dalieya smiled a little, somewhat happy that I remembered his name, at least she accepted what had already happened.

There was a few minutes of work for Nurse Joy to do before she was finished.

"Alright, Kenny. Everything is set and done!" She announced happily. "One last thing, do you have her poke ball still?"

Before I could give the obvious answer, Dalieya went digging into my bag, which I left on the floor when we came in.

She pulled out a pokeball, which was bit dirty, and brought it over to me.

"Where'd did this come from...? She might have had it near the whole time…"

"Great, then everything is alright then! Would you like a room here as well since you may want to see the city?"

I turned toward Dalieya.

"What do you think? Wanna hang in Occed for a while?"

The dark type gave a bark and a nod, wanting to check out more of the place as much as I did.

"Wait, that reminds me! Uh, Joy you don't happen to have a map of the region do you? You could say I don't know my way around too much."

I rubbed my hand behind my neck in awkward embarrassment.

"Sure!" She bent down behind the counter and she came back up with two maps folded rather neatly.

"I'll give you one for the city along with the region map! Courtesy of us! Also." She handed me a key, which I took in my hand.

"Here's the key to your room, you'll be on the third floor, three down to the right."

Nurse joy gave me a smile while I stuck the maps down in my pocket along with my card, hopefully I can get an easy to use digital map somewhere.

"Thanks."

I kept the key in my hand as I picked up my bag and headed upstairs, with my partner following close behind. It didn't take much time to find our room, using the key to get inside.

We looked around, there wasn't too much to say. There was a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. All of the walls and floors were painted a jet black color. While most people would find that plain and bland, I found it kind of cool. Also, black keeps that sunlight. So awesome sleep, here I come!

Couch being like a beige or cream color while the sheets in the bedroom were a dark blue color. While blue is one of my main colors, I have come to hate to see any of it in my room since it's the same color of the walls of my own, it's a minor gripe so I won't complain.

The kitchen and bathroom, was just a kitchen and bathroom. Nothing to say.

I could only guess Dalieya hasn't been a domestic place such as this since who knows when? She was certainly exploring the place, looking over every inch.

"Hhmmm…." I sat my ass on the couch and looked through the map of Occed, so many places were on this map it was ridiculous. It was an up to date map of all of the hottest places to shop, eat food, celebrate certain occasions, or whatever.

It all was a real hassle to look through, but at least detailed.

I asked the Bite pokemon a question when she came into my view at last.

"So where do you think we should go first?"

Showing her the map, she looked over it for a moment before her ears perked up sharply. She pointed me a place on the map.

"Eh? Why the shopping mall?"

"Well, I never went there before." She said shyly.

"So, a powerful, battle hardened hyena pokemon who is more than capable of sending me flying into a ditch by merely ramming into my side, wants to go on a shopping spree. Fair enough."

I closed the map as the canine yipped for joy. Heh. She sure was weird for a Mightyena…

I slipped my bag back over my back, just in case I end up buying too much stuff, which most people told me is impossible to not do with a girl. I guess I would find out for myself.


Sooner than later, we found our way at the shopping mall. Of course it had to be just as populated as outside, if that was possible.

This reminded me of the times I went to the mall with my mom, I was so easily amused by the huge space in an inside place, every attraction, food stand, clothing store, I wanted to see it all.

This mall had even more than just that stuff, there were also a bunch of pokemon themed places to look around, as well as extra for humans gasp like me!

Seriously, the mall just seemed better here, and since this was Dalieya's first time here, she would be able to pretty much see my experiences every time I came here as a child. She totally seemed excited!

"So have you ever been to the mall back at home, Ken?"

"Dozens of times when I was a kid! There were so many places to explore it was like we were still outside, there are many things to do here!"

"What should we do first!?"

Dalieya bent down her hind legs in a play stance with her tail wagging furiously.

I looked toward my clothes, which did seem a little roughed up at the moment.

"Maybe a clothing store."


Using the maps around the mall, we eventually found our way to a trainer clothing store just plainly named "Train your Wear". (I am horrible at names, you'll have to bare with it. As well as the characters constantly poking at it.)

The name itself made me cringe a little.

"What were they thinking?"

Once we walked inside however, everything made me quickly forget of that awful name. There were so many clothes, so many accessories for male and female alike that it was insane. There was even a part of the store for pokemon wear as well.

"Wow, they have a lot of stuff…" I said quietly, my hyena comrade nodding in agreement as a lady approached the two of us.

"Hi there, sir. Welcome to Train your Wear! Here we have the best clothes for the lowest prices."

"Hhmp, i'll be the judge of that then." I spoke crossing my arms. "Anything you recommend?"

The lady looked me over for a minute before going to the far left of the store, signaling us to follow her. She picked out a nice looking trainer jacket. Black and red stripes, definitely would catch my eye.

"Well, I like that. Got a black hoodie to go with that?"

"We have just what you need."

She went further down the rack and picked out a plain, black hoodie. Oh my...it was perfect!

"I love it! Now what's the price of both of them?"

The lady looked over the tags and was quick in giving me a response.

"That just adds up to a measly 500, sir!" She announced proudly as my jaw almost dropped. Such low prices! I might as well not spend anything at all! So apparently their logic still applies here, or lack thereof…

I looked over to Dalieya, who still was by my side. Making me confused.

"You don't want anything? You're just sitting there." I said with a laugh.

"Wait, you mean I get my own things too? Wow! This is great!" She ran off into the store looking for whatever she wanted, she reminded me of a child sometimes, which was kind of cute, I guess.

I picked out a pair of jeans and some boots, and I also saw a red scarf.

"Holy shit, this store has everything…" I almost broke into tears as I held the scarf in my hand. Keep yourself together man…

At any rate, I was done quickly since I already knew what I wanted and at these prices I would have a lot to spare. I was at the counter now, simply waiting for Dalieya, who came not too long after with a pair of shades on and a pink neckerchief in her maw.

"I can understand the shades, but why...pink?"

"What's wrong with pink? I like the color." She muffled.

"Nothing, nevermind. If you like it I have no problem with it."

I should have mentioned that the lady had been staring at me like I was crazy, I suppose I forgot the other people can't understand pokemon. Though she did tell me something.

"I think your Mightyena is adorable wearing pink, actually." She told me, making Dalieya give a bright blushing smile, I guess it's nice to mix things up…

Anyway, I paid for our stuff and we were out of there.


I barely made a dent in my money, though later I will have to come up with a way to gain more.

Also I should mention I also saw a larger bag that would be much better for carrying my stuff, so I bought it, and I got a free hat for some reason, lucky me.

I put most of the stuff in my bag, though my Mightyena partner wanted to wear the pink bandana now, she really seemed to like it.

Getting on my knees, I started to tie it around her neck, soon enough being finished.

"How does it look?"

"I honestly think you look cute with it on."

We both blushed as we caught on to what just came out of my mouth.

"You really think so?" She asked me shyly, I nodded trying to keep my mouth shut from here before something slipped from my new bag.

A tiny sheet of paper was there on it, and there was a phone number on it.

"The fuck is this?"

Dalieya tilted her head at me.

"Why are girls suddenly giving me their number?" I laughed. "People these days, she must be desperate for someone I guess."

"Desperate? Why do you suggest that?"

"Oh come on. I'm not exactly what you would call a worthy companion. No taste."

Dalieya went silent for a moment, suddenly that made me feel a little bad even though I was talking about myself.

"Alright, maybe I shouldn't say that." I spoke trying to break the silence.

"It isn't just that...but…"

"But what?"

"Well, it can wait until later." She returned her face to me with a smile. "Thank you for buying this stuff for me, what should we do next?"

I was a little curious about her sudden moment of silence, but I guessed that I shouldn't have bothered her about it for now and I resumed on making her first mall experience the greatest it could be.


We continued the oncoming hours just having the best of fun. We ate at a lot of food stands, played some games, heck...the canine decided to be a bad girl and run around the mall causing me to chase her and look like an idiot myself, though still rather fun I had to admit.

At the end of it all, we were just laughing, and of course, me being exhausted after a long day. Honestly, I did not think it was possible to have this much fun…

Just as we were starting to head out, someone made an open announcement. Since we were curious of it, we decided to stay and listen.

"Yo everyone! Don't forget to join us at Occed Square tomorrow night for the firework show! You'll be psyched once you get there! Peace dudes and dudettes!"

"A fireworks show?"

I snatched the map out of my pocket.

Whoops, wrong one.

I snatches the right map this time out of my pocket and took a look.

"Fireworks, I think it could be fun! I've only seen them once but they're beautiful."

"Like you-"

Dalieya looked at me. "What was tha-"

I started to fake cough before she could finish her sentence and pulled my map over my blushing face. "Sorry, I think I have a bit of a cold." I lied terribly.

"But yeah, fireworks?" I continued pulling the map down. "Count me in."

The two of us headed back to the pokemon center, we didn't talk much, just staring at the night sky coming upon us. I would peek at Dalieya on the way, the way she walked was actually beautiful, crimson eyes reflecting perfectly against the orange sky.

Sometimes, it would seem like she would be peeking at me too, but my eyes always seemed a second too late in catching her, I couldn't tell. She probably thought I was pretty weird or something.

I decided to break the silence and make some small talk.

"Today was actually really fun, I would have to say I wouldn't have experienced this without you being around. Honestly, thanks, Dalieya."

"I can say the same, too. I can't wait to watch the fireworks with you."

We both smiled to each other. As we finally came inside the pokemon center, nightfall was just settling and Nurse Joy gave a warm greeting to us as we went upstairs.

I yawned and stretched out as we finally got back inside our little hotel room, heh how nice, they left complimentary food on the living room table, now that's room service.

Still feeling total exhaustion in my body, I think I was ready for bed. I told Dalieya I was gonna take a quick shower, so I went and did my thing.

Luckily, I always had a tank top and gym shorts under my normal clothes, sleeping on the go is now a breeze when you don't have your normal night clothes.

After that.

I came out in the living room to where Dalieya much to my amusement was watching some cartoons, and I am pretty sure she's a bit older than me.

"Goodnight, i'm heading to bed." I spoke groggily with a small wave and she gave me one back though with much more energy.

"Good night! I'll be having my bath now too."

I smiled and went to the bedroom, I honestly found it cool how she knew how to take her own baths in a bathtub. Nice..


Later on in the night, I have been far past the point of sleeping, though I have woken up in the middle of the night. I opened my eyes to see the face of Dalieya, whose body was snuggled into the blanket with me. We was slightly snoozing, soft and not enough to bother me.

Though we were face to face and quite close, which I found a little awkward for me but not that I didn't like it. I turned myself the other way as to not be in her space, though the hyena only came closer up behind me, snuggling into me.

When I peeked behind, she had a smile on her face.

"Fine…" I thought, a smile sneaking its way on my face as well as I went back to sleep...
