Right. I'll probably be back at home in England by the time I've posted this. So... IM HOME!

chapter 7: we'll help you find them

As we continue to walk down route 2 I look down at my Pokémon

"So Noctime, your a Hoothoot, and I believe they're native to Johto or something, so how did you end up in Kanto?" I ask

Noctime looks up to me

"I don't know, I hatched from my egg and I was with a flock of pidgey, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot of route one. The leader, a Pidgeot, looked at me weird. She said that I might be a different species of Pokémon that she's never seen before. She found me a home, and there I found my buddy Hop." She explains

I look at Layla, suprised

"Do you think that might be THE flock of Pidgey of route 1?" She Asks

I nod

Trickster looks up at me

"What do ya mean?" He Asks

"Our cousin, well, the son of our parents best friend, released his Pidgeot into the wild, and she took care of the flock" I explain

Noctime's eyes widen even more

"She spoke of her trainer... Alex was is? No... Ash? The chosen one? The trainer that all Pokémon are told about?" Asks Noctime

We nod

"On the topic of Ash, he has a shiny Noctowl doesn't he?" Says Layla

Noctime smiles

"I wish I could meet Ash" wonders Hop

Me and Layla sigh, people always talk to us because of our 'cousin', never us

Snowgem nudges Layla's leg

Layla smiles

"Ash is in Alola I believe and so was... our parents..." Layla says, both of our moods immediately dim down

"What's wrong?" Asks Hop, in a cute voice

"Just after they received us from professor Oak, Ash's mother told them their parents were abducted by these... unta beets... in the region of Alola and haven't been seen since" explains Trickster

I nod

"It's ultra beasts. Pokémon from another dimension, my knowledge is limited, but I believe Ash and a few of his friends are working together to protect Alola. Just like every other region he's been to. So far he's protected Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos." I explain

"I know! Let's train and become stronger, and together we will save your parents!" Smiles Hop, hopping around

Both me and Layla smile

I'm sure we'll save them

Like Mew said

We are the cousins of the chosen one

"You know what? How about we train now?" Asks Layla

Snowgem wags her tail and Trickster sharpens his claws

"I'll take that as a yes" I smile

...

"Another furry swipes!" I call to Trickster, as he pounced towards the pincer, and slashes at him multiple times

The pincer falls back but recovers quickly for an X-scissor

"Dodge then bite!" I call

Trickster jumps upwards just before he's hit, making pincer stumble, then he lunges at him, and bites his back, causing the pincer to scream in pain, before falling unconscious

"And that's how you do it" smiles Trickster menacingly, before turning to the pincer and helps it up

"Good battle, I think I got some good training from that. Your strong" smiles the surprisingly calm Pincer

I turn to Trickster

"That's the 25th Pokémon, let's let Noctime have a go" I say

Trickster smiles

"Let her be, she's been trying to learn rain dance for an hour now" he scoffs

"Why rain dance?" I ask

Trickster shrugs "Something about hurricanes and accuracy, I dunno"

"Oh... she wants to learn hurricane, but it has a bad accuracy, unless used in rain" I explain

Trickster Shrugs

"But Hoothoot can only learn Raindance through TM" I think

"Did someone say TM?" Asks a voice

I turn around and see Joey

"Dude! It's been like, a few hours since I last saw you." I say, remembering him from my battle

He nods and smiles "Ehh, I'm allowed to walk down the same route as you right?"

Yeah... but it still hasn't been that long.

"Anyway, I got a TM teacher to spare. Nurse Joy accidentally gave me two" he says, handing it to me "just use it well" and he walks off

I stand there, holding the TM teacher

Well...

Ok then

I look down at the TM teacher in my hand and open it up

What moves does it have?

-cut

...

That's it? Well I guess it could come in handy.

"How does it work?" Asks Trickster

Um...

I scan Trickster like a Pokédex, and an image of an alolan Shiny Meowth comes up.

Below it are 5 red dots, and 5 other blue ones

Below it reads 'moves'

My eyes widen "wait can you learn more than four moves?"

Trickster smiles "of course, we can naturally learn up to 10, and learn more through serious bonding and training" he explains, as if it's obvious

"But I was always taught Pokémon can only learn up to four..." I answer back

"Ha! Now 'ho told ya that?" He scoffs

"Ok then, do you wanna learn cut?" I ask

He shrugs

"Yeah sure, I already know scratch, bite, fury swipes, screech and iron tail, so what harm is there in learning another move? I need to learn a special move!" He tuts

"Ok then... so I think in order to download more moves on here, you need to buy more memory disks at stores and stuff, so we'll get rain dance for Noctime, and a special move for you. Got any suggestions?" I think allowed

"Shadow ball, thunder or thunderbolt and dark pulse are my favorite special moves I can learn through TMs" he smiles

"How do you know what you can learn?" I ask

"Professor Oak has quite the collection of research i must say" he smiles

"Right we'll should head to the next city, pewter city, and get some more TM memories" I say

"Agreed" nods Trickster "and I believe that's he Rock type gym"

"I know. I've met the gym leader. And I think he will use Pokémon that aren't necessarily rock type" I smile

And I know he won't go easy on me

And there. This one is kinda like a filler. But I guess some stuff happened. This chapter isn't necessarily that good, but I'm tired after a long holiday, so some time in the future I might re-write it. Just to clarify. No. I'm not home yet
