Pokemon In The Real World

Chapter 6: Unexpected

"Aw god", it was a long day at school, but what made it worse was that it was a Monday, the most horrible day of the week. Luckily, I didn't have to stay for the rest of the week. I'll be in Vancouver with Monara, shopping for essential supplies and training for a few days, and then try to get a gym badge.

"Are you ready for tomorrow trip?" my mom's voice echoed through the house. "Yeah, I'm ready". I had all my luggage packed, everything I needed like my Trainer's clothes, lots of cash, and spare pokeballs.

I laid in my room with Leaf, she was on my laptop researching battle strategies. I noticed that she was actually paying attention during my English classes, so she knew how to read and write English after a few hours of mind-dulling education. Also, I was able to cheat on my test today from her, so I couldn't complain.

I heard a faint "Ding-Dong" from downstairs, then "Allen, you have a package". I didn't want to move from my bed, but it might be something important. So I forced myself up, and made my way do get my mail. By the time I made it down, my sister was digging through what was a small box.

"Allen, what are these?" my sister asked, holding colored disks with labels. "I've never heard of songs like Detect or Leaf Blade, is this Dubstep or Techno?". I knew what they were, TM's. These could be a key advantage to beat the gym in Vancouver.

"Uh…YEAH, it's music…by Skrillex. Now hand 'em here". As I tried to grab the TM's, my sister pulled the one marked "Giga Drain" away, "Can I listen to this one? It sounds interesting". It would hurt if I let her listen to just one, could it? But I couldn't risk letting Monara scratching my precious TM's, so I grabbed the box and the TM's Monara had, and then ran to my room.

"HEY, CAN I LISTEN TO ONE LATER THEN, LIKE ON THE PLANE?" Monara yelled. I wasn't sure how to answer, so I just unpacked the TM's and placed them across my bed. I counted fifty of them.

"Okay, I got them, now…how do I use them?"

This was my first time seeing one, so…do I put it in a DVD player? It wouldn't hurt to try. I put it in my laptop and a program came up, something like a tutoring program, and the last thing I wanted to do on my spare time is learn. "Leaf, watch this movie thingy while I go get supper".

Today was one of my favorites, chili dogs with cheese. I grabbed three and brought them upstairs to enjoy in solitude with Leaf. I passed one to Leaf while she watched TM after TM on my laptop, she seemed serious about this training.

I looked over at the clock, which read 10:23 PM, where the hell did the last 4 hours of my life go? It was close to my bed time since I had to go to the airport early the next morning, "Leaf, it's time for bed".

She looked at me, shut off the laptop, and said "Oh really?" in a sexy tone, then jumped on the bed. "Come at me, big boy".

Later

We were at the airport, waiting for our flight. Monara was listening to music on her Ipod , I was messing with my laptop playing Skyrim, and Leaf was looking around the station. "So humans come here to travel long distances by air…by a machine called Plane?".

It was normal human logic to know what a plane was, but she was new to this world. "Yeah, it's a place where people can travel all over the world and so…so…", I was interrupted by two people who were walking up to us. One was a woman and the other was a man, both wearing large overcoats and bold, red "R"'s on the right side. "Excuse me sir and madam, we're looking for recruits to join us in our goal to free the world of evil".

I felt like my chest froze, it was a chance to join the infamous Team Rocket. Will I be shunned or accepted if I join? Is it evil or right? "If I join, do I get anything good out of it?".

One looked to the other and the woman said "It pays well…". Then the man looked at us and continued the sentence, "…and it's for the greater good…", and a pokemon came up from behind them, "Meowth, that's right".

If I join now, can there be a drawback? What the hell ,I'll join anyway. "I'll join you guys".

"Hear that Jessie? We got a new member".

The woman addressed as Jessie lulled out a pen and a note book. "Your name?". "My name is Allen Kegan". As she wrote my name on the notebook, the man handed me a badge of some kind. "When you get to Vancouver, go to our local recruitment center and show them this, you'll then be given a parcel with the supplies that you'll need".

"Flight 23, now boarding" was said over the intercom.

"Allen, let's go".

When we got on the plane, there were not many of us on there, and we had seats in the near the back, so we were away from the others. There was an inflight movie and a portable DVD player. After a few moments of silence, Monara looked at us and whispered.

"I know what you and Leaf do when no one is around"

How the fuck did she find out? The only thing I could so was to defend myself, "I-I don't know what you mean".

She pulled out a disk and put it into the DVD player and turned the volume off. A clip played, which was taken from a hidden camera in the living room. It was the moment me and Leaf shared while watching TV. "If this isn't proof, what is?".
