Chater 6: PSYCHIC TYPE

Pewter City, a city known for its grey color theme and rich stone resources for being locating below the biggest solid rock mountain in Kanto. Perhaps because of its theme and background, the city has a strong, heavy, solid atmosphere...

Or perhaps it's just Yui's imagination.

"Eh... The Pokemon Center's design is different with Viridian City." Yui exclaimed, looking at the building with cube foundation and a Pokeball design on top of its minaret- The Pokemon Center of Pewter City.

"Ghast..." By the side of Yui, Ghastly tiredly drawing it's tongue and habitually lick it's trainer.

"Still has the stamina to use Lick, huh?" Yui's no longer flinched by the lick, both physically and mentally. "Bless the resistance... and the power of habitual... Come on, let's get you to checkup."

…...

"Nurse Joy!" Yui places Weedle's Pokeball on a tray, and pointed on the floating Ghastly. "Please take care of these two Pokemon."

"Of course." Pewter City's Nurse Joy looks exactly just like Viridian CIty's Nurse Joy; She also has the same smile with Viridian City's Nurse Joy. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of them. Come back an hour later, and you'll have them nice and healthy!"

Nurse Joy takes over the trap, and calls over her Pokemon companion- Chansey. Yui takes a detail look at Chansey, and gets a goose bump immediately.

It has a face of a reptile that looks like it got flatted by heavy truck and everything below the head of that reptile had been removed, and transplant it by printing it on a bloated egg body, it has three pairs of huge dorsal crest-like...stuff grows on both sides of its head. It also has a pair of tiny, black reptile eyes and a well-hidden mouth. When its mouth opens, it forms a triangular with razor sharp yellow teeth in it. And the oddest part of that Chansey is, despite having a cold-blooded reptile face, it grows short light pink furs on its body like a mammal, it also has a huge egg on its stomach. And finally, the body is supports by a pair of thick short pink bird legs...*1*

Yui looks away and pretends he didn't see the Pokemon.

"Hey, Nurse Joy. A moment please?" Yui decided to ask an exploratory question. "Do you think... anthing wrong with my Ghastly?"

"Huh?" Nurse Joy took a closer look at Ghastly and says. "It looks tired, but I don't see any problem of it."

"But..." Yui takes his Pokedex and pointed at the cartoonish black round Ghastly image. "I swear my Ghastly looks different with the Pokedex."

"Hmm..." Nurse Joy looks at the round ball in the Pokedex with a light frown, and looks at the floating skull next to her. "Maybe the shape of its mist? Afterall, Pokemon doesn't always look exactly the same."

"Is- Is that so?" Yui collapses on his realization, he should have known- Only from his view-point, all the Pokemon looks differently as monstrosity, while everyone else sees them as the same.

"I supposed I got too suspicious..." Yui smiles bitterly.

"Uh- Are you alright, Miss?" Nurse Joy looks worryingly to the pale-looking boy.

"Don't worry... I'm fine." Yui leaves soulessly. "Thank you for taking care of my Pokemon... And, by the way, I'm a boy."

"EH?!"

...-HYPER BEAM-…...

In the restaurant next to the Pokemon Center, Yui pokes his Omurice with his fork with a listless mood while muttering. "Not right, none of this is right... I'm the only person to see differently... Yes, it's a dream comes true that the anime girls have become reality beauties, but Pokemon is the main theme in this world..."

"Argh..." Yui covered his mouth and shouted silently in the restaurant. "This is just like the main character in 'Saya no Uta'*2*. Uh... On the second thought, I've better life than him, all he got is Saya, but I wonder if I catches a Grimer or a Muk, will everything be back to normal?"

"Think at the bright side, at least everything I sees are not gore and hideous monsters. Appreciate what remains... Yui." Yui quickly comforts himself. "Yes, and I still have hope! That psychic-type Pokemon..."

With hope, Yui regains his spirit, he finishes his lunch and sprints back to Pokemon Center. With time to spare, he spent his time on Pokemon encyclopedia machine, and gets to learn as many Pokemon knowledge he can gets, while checking data on the Pokemon he plans to catch.

Oh, and more info on the side quest for Weedle's evolution, and Jinkela...

Whatever that is.

An hour later.

Yui grabs his Pokemon and walks back to Viridian Forest, this forest is the nearest location to encounter any wild Pokemon.

Yui learned some knowledge about Pokemon through the encyclopedia machine, but the psychic-type Pokemon he's looking for is not in it. Perhaps it's because the Pokemon is not available in Kanto region.

As for Jinkela...

Duh, it's impossible for that thing to exist...

"Ghastly, floats higher in the air, when the Pokemon appears, sneaks to it and use Hypnosis!" Yui unruly commands his Pokemon to ambush.

Ever since the boy unlocked the 'Unscrupulous' skill, he starts to care less and less...

"Ghast!"

Then, Yui holds the Pokeball with Weedle, and active his reward for specific Pokemon encounter. "Specific encounter Pokemon, Galts!"

*Beep* Unable to identify target Pokemon, searching similar Pokemon... Ralts.

"That was close." Yui wiped of his cold sweat. "Good thing I only made a small mistake for the name..."

A few seconds later, a white light flash in front of Yui, it creates a portal, and squeezes out a Pokemon with green and white with a shade of red. The portal disappears immediately later after.

"Here we go!" Yui threw his Pokeball. "Go, Weedle, use Poison Sting!"

"Weedle!"

Weedle cried on releases, aims its horn and shoots poison stings toward the clueless Ralts.

"Ralt!" Ralt cried and flinched by the poison stings, but it regains it steps and starts glowing in blue. Weedle gets lift up in the air and slams hardly on the ground- Confusion!

"Confusion? Ralt's level is higher than I expected." Yui throws a stone to join in the attack but Ralt disappeared from the air when the stone closing up to it, and reappears again a few steps away, but that cause it to cancel its confusion and releases Weedle.

"Gha,gha,gha..." Ghastly sneakily show up in front of Ralts and use Hypnosis.

"Zzzz..." The ambush works. Ralt gets drowzy and falls in sleep, but Ghastly also starts dozing off too, floating back to the ground and sleeps with its tongue out.

"Now what?"Yui takes out his Pokedex, the device explains faster than searching through encyclopedia but it's rather lacking in terms of timeliness:

'Ability: Synchronize, passes poison, paralyze, or burn to the Pokemon that inflicted it.'

"Darn it, another ability. Hold on, this is Hypnois- a sleeping effect!"

*Beep* Trainer abuses under level Unscrupulus lvl 1, initials penalty toward trainer, Ralt's Synchronize includes Sleep, Freeze, Confusion.

System decided to step in.*3*

"...Wasn't that supposed to be OP? Stop stepping into the battle again, system."

(At least the hypnosis succeeds.)

"Weedle, end the battle! Use String Shot and end it with a Poison Sting!"

"..." Weedle turns toward its trainer, rather hesitate on doing a 2vs1 (Technically is a 3vs1) situation.

"Don't worry!" Yui gave Weedle a huge thumb up: "Victory is absolute!"

Weedle twitches its head a bit and start using String Shot...

Another Pokemon joins the dark side...

"Good job!" Yui threw a Pokeball toward the sleeping Pokemon.

Facing against with such unruly trainer, Ralts' Pokeball just twitches symbolically and give up.

"Hehe..."Yui picks up the Pokeball. "Was busy on catching Ralts just now, now I can get a good look at it. Come on out, Ralts!"

The white light flash, the sleeping Ralts is out again.

Yui observes Ralts carefully, follows with another goose bump with unsettling. By the distant, Ralts still look like a cute doll with a big head. But looking closely, the white robe on it is a thick white layer of exfoliation, both of its hands and legs are well-hidden with tiny sharp claws, as for the sleeves are just some part of loose skin connecting with exfoliation 'robe'; It has a red hard bone crown, the crown sharp as a blade, Yui believes anyone without 'Undying physical' could stab to death easily by this thing; Its light green 'hair' is actually a whole solid skin and cover with tiny scales. What covers under the green skins is a pair of alien red eyes with no sclera, and those eyes are the only obvious feature on Ralt's face... *4*

"I- I'm a FOOL..." Yui collapsed and cried. "I should've never had a fantasy on system's change... If this is how Ralts looks like, Gardevoir won't get any better... I should've chosen to encounter a legendary...Huhuhu..."

*Beep* Skill: Unscrupulus level up! Unscrupulus Lvl 2: Enable to use multiple Pokemon in a wild Pokemon battles or certain special encounter battles.

End of Chapter 6

*1* Blame the author if you can never see Chansey the same way again. He/She used to have a collection of links of his Pokemon, but all the link got taken down.

*2* Saya no Uta – An adult Lovecraftian horror Visual Novel about MC getting agnosia after surgery and cause him to see the world as covered in gore and people as hideos monster. But meets a girl call Saya, as a beautiful young girl which in reality she's a horrific monster from lovecraft dimension, whose appearance drives people mad. They eventually becoming lovers. The game is really messed-up, do not check it out because most likely you're not ready for it. YOU. HAVE. BEEN. WARNED.

*3* It's author's way for the plot to stop Yui from getting too overboard on breaking rules, so don't worry, this ff doesn't includes gore.

*4* Lucky for you, I managed to find an image similar to what you don't want see. Imgur and add a/WTcHhDD

P.S. I could have finished translating this chapter 2 hours ago, but had to stop and take a breath after re-reading 'Sayo no Uta's plot accidentally during my translation. Regain some sainity point. *laugh*
