Chapter 9 - Returning to Where it All Began, and Then Every Goes Wrong

You know, sometimes I wonder why I have to be the main character. I mean, theoretically that is. It's not like my whole life is just some typed up adventure by some person behind a keyboard or something.

What I mean is, sometimes I wonder why all of this has to happen to me. All of these adventures, everything that's happened to me, and yet, in the end, I somehow, in a way, come out on top, just like main characters in most stories.

But I don't exactly like the fact that this is the case. Sometimes I wish that I could have a pokemon adventure like a normal trainer. I wouldn't want everything to be normal, of course, because then I wouldn't be in the pokemon world after all. But after what happened today, two days after I had finished my Grand Trial, I began to think about the large question that is only a single word: "Why?".

Of course, questioning things won't exactly get me anywhere, and neither will complaining, so I guess I should go back a little bit and explain the events that led up to what was happening before going into what's made me begin questioning everything this time.

So, after it was announced that I had passed the Grand Trial, most of the crowd left, many murmuring unpleasant things about me because I had almost put them all in danger when they had just come for some basic entertainment.

While they dispersed, Hala proceeded to give me the Fightinium Z, the fighting z stone, though since I didn't have any pokemon that could currently use it, I just placed it into a special case I had bought beforehand and placed it in my bag.

After Hala taught me the dance for the z move, he then proceeded to give me a green device with a button on it. He informed me of how it was a riding pager, and I could use it to summon Tauros to ride on if I wanted to. I wouldn't have to use it if I didn't want to, but if I did, Tauros would be able to explore and run around more after being summoned from the pager as if it was a pokeball.

I made a note to myself to later try riding on Tauros.

With everything settled, Hala told me how I could get to Akala island via the ferry terminal in Hau'oli city. Even with my past experiences with boats, I decided to trust Hala on this, after all it is an official ferry, not some shady fisherman's boat.

Hala wished me luck on my journey, but reminded me to try to not be so reckless in the future. I agreed with him on this, and said my goodbyes as I left Iki town once more.

Deciding to try out the pager, I used it to call out Tauros, who was by my side a moment later with a large saddle on. Having put everyone back in their pokeballs for the time being, I decided I'd go to the pokemon center before going to ferry terminal.

Climbing onto the Tauros, I began to wonder how exactly I was supposed to ride the Tauros, before remembering I could just ask him about where I wanted to go.

I went through the procedure of explaining that I could talk to pokemon, so the Tauros didn't seem very surprised. He said he was getting old, and he had seen a lot. Sure, I was a first for him, but apparently compared to what he's seen before, a human that can understand pokemon isn't the shocking to him.

After telling him I wanted to go to Hau'oli city, he complied and began to charge forwards. I had to frantically grab for the handles to prevent myself from falling off, but soon we were on our way to the city.

The ride shortened what would have been around a forty minute walk to about fifteen, and I was quite surprised with how fast we got there. Having reached the outskirts of the city, I climbed off of Tauros and thanked him for the ride, before calling him away using the pager.

Making my way into the city, I went and did everything I wanted to get done before leaving the city. I got my pokemon healed (and then spent a good hour removing splinters from Drift), restocked on supplies, and then made my way to the ferry terminal.

Upon arriving, I found out I had managed to get there in time to buy a ticket for the last ferry of the day. The ride wouldn't be that long, and I would find myself on Akala island in Heahea city around seven.

All of my problems would begin when I stepped out of the ferry terminal there after arriving…

"Man, that boat ride felt like it would take forever." I said to no one in particular, as my pokemon were still in their pokeballs. I was thinking of letting them out soon, but decided I'd go find dinner for all of us before I did so.

As I walked out of the ferry terminal, I looked around before having my eyes stop at the docks. I stared at them, imagining the large boat that had once been there with two men who had claimed to be fishermen.

"This is where it all started." I thought to Dusk. "I had just arrived here in the pokemon world, and I needed to find a way to Melemele. However, having no money, I decided to ride with two strangers who were offering a free ride. And that's how I was so foolishly captured and met you Dusk."

"Well, at least they're dead, and can't do that to anyone else." Dusk thought bitterly, before sighing. "There was one good thing about them capturing you, I suppose."

"And what could that be?" I asked, wondering how there could have been a bright side to what they did to me.

"In a way, by capturing you, my life was saved in a way. They would have tried fusing me with someone else eventually Jack. So if you hadn't been there, I would be dead, or worse. You saw what happened to some of those poor people and pokemon after all."

My gaze lightened a bit, before I turned around and began walking away from the docks. "Yeah, I guess you're right. But we still have to find a way to undo all of this. I don't want you to be stuck in my head forever, 'cause after all, you deserve to live a life of your own as well."

Dusk was quiet after that, and so, with our conversation over, I began looking for a place where I could get some food, as well as a place to stay for the night.

Thankfully for me, the second problem was easier to solve, as, after looking at the map, the Tide Song hotel was right around the corner. I was afraid it would be expensive, but after doing some research, I found that their prices were quite acceptable. The real problem would have occurred if I had tried to stay at the resort past the town, the Hano Grand resort, as it would have cost me half of my current savings just to stay in their least expensive room for one night.

After walking around for a bit and studying the map, I finally found a local restaurant that would allow me to just buy the food and take it with me. After getting a simple pasta dish for myself and some different pokemon foods for my party, I made my way out of the restaurant and towards the hotel.

Upon arrival, I was surprised that the rooms would be so cheap, as upon inspection, it appeared as if it would be a high end hotel. The entrance was quite lavish, and everything was a sparkling white and light blue color, reminding me of ocean tides, which is where they get their name from.

Going up to the counter and talking to the person behind the desk, I was soon able to get a small one person room with no issues.

Once arriving to the room, I was once again surprised with how nice it was. The room was simple, yet looked quite fancy, and there was a balcony that gave me a beautiful view of the ocean.

Releasing my team, we ate our dinners before heading to bed. As I prepared to go to sleep, I figured I would explore a bit of route 4 with my team tomorrow, though we would probably stay in the local area for a bit.

I figured due to how we got lucky last time, I wanted to train everyone a bit more before our next trial, which would be the most difficult one at the moment, as it was the water trial. Ember would be at a severe disadvantage, and Drift wouldn't even be able to fight unless I found something for her to stand on, because after asking, I learned that Drift cannot swim.

Frost was a solid backup plan, but once again it didn't feel right to let him battle just yet. He would still be twice as powerful as the pokemon we would face in the trial, and it would be a cakewalk to battle with him.

But the trial was still a good few days walk away, so I had plenty of time to prepare until then. With that in mind, I fell asleep, not knowing of the problems I would face the next day.

~Line Break~

"Well, here we are everyone, Route 4." I said with Ember, Drift and Frost at my side as we stood at the entrance to the route.

"Anything specific you want to get done today Jack?" Ember asked. "I wouldn't mind getting some more training done personally."

"That's part of the plan," I said, before pulling out my pokedex, "But according to the pokedex, this route can occasionally have Eevee roaming around. If we can manage to run into one, I'd like to see if we can get one to join our party."

"I wouldn't mind having another companion with us, but why an Eevee Jack? Shouldn't we try to get a grass type pokemon instead?" Frost asked. "After all, I heard you mumbling to yourself yesterday about how your next challenge will be water types."

"And I won't be of any use to you there." Ember said, sighing. "One hit from a water gun and I'll be down for the count. So why do you want to get an Eevee Jack?"

"Because if we go further into the island, we can find the moss rock that will allow them to evolve into a Leafeon. Not only will that give us a strong advantage against the next trial, but will also give us a strong grass type pokemon in the long run."

Frost seemed to agree with this logic as he nodded. "Yes, a good grass type like Leafeon would be good, as it would also be powerful against any rock or ground types as well. But personally speaking, we might want to find an Eevee that wants to become a Leafeon. It wouldn't be right to catch someone if they've always dreamt of being a Flareon or Vaporeon."

"That's actually not a bad idea, but it might be a little difficult. Even if I can speak to pokemon, none of the wild pokemon we've run into before have been all that talkative. It might prove problematic to figure out if they want to evolve into a Leafeon or not, but we'll have to try our best either way."

"So what are we waiting for? Let's go meet a new friend!" Drift shouted out, eager to get going.

I smiled at her excitement and nodded, also eager to get going as well. With everyone knowing the plan, we decided to head out onto the route.

We explored for a bit, searching along the trees and the grass for any signs of wilf Eevee. However, even after several hours, along with a few battles with wild pokemon and trainers with weak pokemon such as Rattata and Cutiefly, we finally decided to break for lunch before continuing our search.

After walking around a bit longer, we managed to come across a small meadow that was only a short distance away from the main path of the route.

Sitting down, I decided to pull out everyone's food, making sure to feed the others first before I got my own food. However, as I had set down my bag on the ground and began to fish around for the bags of food, I became distracted by a rustling in the bushes.

I looked up from my bag with two bags of food in each hand to set aside, meanwhile as I watched the bushes Ember Drift and Frost jumped in front of me, ready to fight any wild pokemon that would come forward.

For a moment, the bush stopped rustling, before a small brown head popped out from the foliage. Two perky ears stood up from their head as they cocked it two the side and smiled towards us, raising a paw and waving.

"Hi there!" The Eevee called out in a high pitched voice that could be considered by many as adorable. "You wouldn't happen to have any food by chance, would you?"

I blinked, before shrugging. Meanwhile, Frost seemed to calm down, Ember still seemed a little on edge, and Drift was shaking her head madly. "Nope, no food hear, definitely not. You can just keep moving along, as we definitely have no food here."

"Drift, you're not trying to hog the food to yourself, are you?" I asked with a grin, in which Drift looked away looking embarrassed. I chuckled a bit, before looking up at the Eevee. "Yeah, I have some food I could spare for you. We were about to have lunch anyway. Come on over."

The Eevee looked a bit surprised, but proceeded to walk towards us anyway. "A human that can understand me? That's not something you see every day. But I'm not going to say no to free food."

I smiled at this, glad that I wouldn't have to explain how I can talk to pokemon again, at least not for the time being. As I pulled at bowls and began to serve food, I continued to talk to the Eevee. "So, do you have a name? Mine's Jack, and that's Drift, Ember and Frost." I said, pointing to each pokemon as I named them.

"Just call me Eve for now." The Eevee said as I handed her a bowl. "I'd rather not hand out my name to those I just met, but Eve is what my friends call me."

"That's fine with me." I said, sitting down with a plate of food of my own. Looking around, I saw that Frost was eating his food as normal, Drift was digging in like it was her last meal (also normal), and Ember was eating slowly, keeping an eye on Eve, who was happily chewing away at her food.

While I began to eat as well (with my food tasting a bit off for some reason), Eve looked up at me and smiled. "Wow, this is really good. Thank you for this food Mr. Jack!"

I smiled (though I was beginning to feel a bit off), and went to take Drift's bowl which was already empty. "It's no problem to me Eve. I'm happy to help. But I was wondering if you could answer a question of mine."

"Sure, that's no problem. You did give me some free food after all. So, what do you want to know?"

My gut was beginning to hurt, but I ignored it for the time being. "I was wondering if you knew of any other Eevee nearby, especially any that might want to travel or be a Leafeon. We're traveling around and doing these trials, and we could really use a Leafeon on our team for the upcoming challenges."

Eve seemed to look nervous when I asked about other Eevees, but before she could answer my question, Frost spoke up about something I had failed to notice. "Jack, are you eating pokemon food?"

I blinked, before looking down at my plate. Sure enough, the pokemon food I had been serving the others was on my plate, as I hadn't been paying attention while I had been serving food.

Whereas this did explain how I was currently feeling, it still wasn't a good thing. "Don't worry, as long as I get to my bag, I'll be fine." After having found out the cure, I made sure to get a couple old gateau at the last few cafes we were in. Sadly, they could only sell me one at a time, so I only had two in my bag at the moment.

As black fur began to spread across my arms, I turned around ready to grab my bag. However, upon turning around I found four Eevees with my bag on top of them, meanwhile they were trying to stealthily sneak it away.

"Wha-hey, give that back!" I said, jumping forward to try and grab my bag, but the Eevee were already running off with it. Before I could give chase, Eve jumped up and onto my head, before jumping away by using my head as a launchpad.

"Thanks for the meal and all your stuff!" Eve called out, before running into the bushes after her friends.

"I knew she was up to something! Get back here you bunch of thieves!" Ember said before jumping into the bushes after them.

"Ember, don't run off by yourself, wait up!" Frost said, beginning to run after her. As he passed, Drift hooked onto him and crawled onto his back, and soon enough they had all gone after the Eevees, leaving me alone in the clearing.

Just like I had experienced back in the malasada shop, I felt my whole body shift and morph into the shape of a Zorua. Strangely enough, it wasn't as painful enough, but it still brought pain to my eyes and left me panting on the ground for several minutes as I tried to recover.

Finally, after I deemed the pain had finally fully gone away, I stood up, sadly on all fours once more. Not only that, but also upon looking around, I found that I was all alone, with none of my pokemon in sight.

I sighed, before sitting down on the grass. "Guess I'll just have to wait here for them." I said to no one in particular. "Not exactly sure what I'm going to do while I wait for them though."

"You could always try to go after them. Or you could just lay here and take a nap while you wait for them to get back. Either way, it might be a bit. Your pokemon are very determined and skillful, but Eevee are quite cunning, so even if your pokemon do get your bag back, it won't be for a while yet."

"Nap it is then. I have no idea which way they went, and I'd rather not get lost in the woods today."

With my decision settled, I coiled up on top of my discarded clothes, using them as a form of blanket, before closing my eyes and taking a small nap in the clearing.

~Line Break +Lewdness Warning~

At first, my sleep seemed to go as normal, with no dreams present and my mind an empty expanse that allowed me to rest easily, even if I had gotten to sleep in a body not of my own.

However, after some time passed, I blinked my eyes open, finding myself in an odd situation. There seemed to be something on top of me, something covered in brown fur, and my first thoughts were that it was a dog.

A moment later though, the dog spoke, making me realize it was probably a pokemon. "Yeah...this feels so nice. Wish I could do this for a while longer, but my master will probably be here soon."

Realizing it was a pokemon, and how I didn't seem to recognize it, I began to believe I was experiencing another one of Dusk's memories.

As I thought this, I realized that the pokemon was moving back and forth onto top of me, and that there was a strange sensation in my mouth as if it was...filled?

I blinked my weary eyes, before realizing that I was sucking a pokemon's dick.

Upon thinking this, I began to breathe heavier, starting to panic, but as I did so, a similar scent to the one I had smelt with Ember filled my nose. This smell wasn't as heavy though, but seemed to smell...dirtier, in a way.

Along with the smell came the taste, and a fleshy, salty flavor filled my mouth. It was an odd flavor, but not entirely bad to my Zorua body's taste buds.

"This...this isn't so bad~" My clouded mind thought. "Maybe I'll enjoy this memory for just a bit longer…"

As I relaxed into the memory, my mind clouding more and more with every thrust the pokemon made as he shoved his dick into my mouth, Dusk decided to speak up.

"Um, Jack, I don't know how to say this, but this isn't a memory. I think you just woke up to a pokemon using your mouth to get his dick sucked."

My eyes shot open at the realization, and right as I did so, the pokemon made one final thrust into my mouth, shoving so much of his prick into my mouth that the it touched the back of my throat and a larger portion of it filled the front of my mouth, locking his dick in my mouth as it swelled larger.

A moment later, I could feel a warm fluid shoot down my throat and into my stomach, and I wanted to throw up upon realizing that he had just cum down my throat. Trying to pull away, I realized that his dick was stuck in my mouth, as it hurt every time I tried to open my jaw wider.

"Ah, you're finally awake. Hope you like the taste of my dick in your mouth. If I have my way, you'll be a member of my master's party in no time, and you'll be doing this quite often."

"Oh HELL no!" I thought angrily. "I REFUSE to be some pokemon's cum sleeve!" With this in mind, I thought of a way to get his dick out of my mouth, and hopefully get away before his "master" showed up.

Glaring at the pokemon who had used me (even if I was under him at the moment so it didn't have quite the same effect), I proceeded to bite down hard onto the poke-dick.

"YE-OW! What the FUCK are you doing!" The pokemon screamed out, jumping back and away from me.

Thankfully, the moment he jumped away, I opened my jaw as wide as I could, so that with him jumping back, along with how his penis tensed up when I bit down, all added up to me being able to get his dick out of my mouth.

As his dick left my mouth, a small amount of his cum ended up in my mouth, and I was greeted with a salty bitter taste. I immediately began spitting, trying my best to get the taste out of my mouth.

End of Lewdness

I rubbed my aching jaw as I looked up at the second pokemon to rape me by this point, though this time I would be able to take my anger out on them since I didn't know them.

Looking up ahead of me revealed a small brown dog with a white fluffy tail and seemed to have several stones around his neck. He glared at me with bright blue eyes as he rubbed his aching lower parts.

"Alright bitch, you're going to pay for tha-" I didn't give him a chance to speak, my body surrounded with a dark energy as I slammed into him quickly with pursuit.

The Rockruff cried out in pain as he was slammed backwards, but he quickly recovered as he stood back up and looked ready for a fight.

"Listen here fucker," I growled at the Rockruff. "I am one hundred percent ready to kill you for what you just did. I'd rather not though, because I'd regret it for a while. So you better leave, now."

For a moment, the Rockruff actually seemed to question whether or not this was a good idea. However, as we stood at an impasse, with him on edge and me ready to attack at his slightest movement, we both froze as we heard someone call out from the bushes.

"Cliff, where are you boy?" A feminine voice called out from the bushes. Suddenly a positive grin crossed the Rockruff's face, and my eyes widened in realization as to what this meant.

The Rockruff (apparently named Cliff), raised his head up to the sky and let out a long howl. I stood there foolishly for a moment, unsure of what to do.

A moment after he howled, there was rustling in the nearby bushes of the clearing, and a teenage girl emerged from the bushes, looking around in mild confusion.

Looking at her closely, I would have to guess she was probably a bit younger than me. She had long light blue hair that ended in red ends (obviously dyed) that reached all the way down her back.

She stood a bit shorter than I would normally, and I guessed she was a little over five foot. However, the thing that stood out the most about her were her eyes. Whereas one was a bright blue, the other was a deep red, and had a scar running over it.

Being clad in cargo shorts, a simple traveling shirt, and a large backpack on her back, it was obvious that she was a trainer. However, upon first seeing her I couldn't help but wonder if she had stepped straight out of an anime or something. Aside from that though, she looked pretty cute in a way.

However, as soon as she spotted me and Cliff, how she looked was the last thing on my mind. "Cliff, there you are! And is that a Zorua!? Quickly Cliff, sand attack!"

With my fight or flight instincts kicking in, I knew right away that facing Cliff would leave me blinded, leaving me to the mercy of him and his trainer. So instead I decided that flight would be the better option today, and immediately turned around and ran for the bushes.

While I heard what sounded like a bunch of sand land on the ground behind me and the trainer groan in frustration, I poured the energy from before into my legs to use agility to get away.

"No, we can't let it get away! Cliff, quickly, use rock throw!" The trainer shouted out.

I began to panic, wondering if this would be it. If he managed to hit me, they'd be able to catch up to me easily as I try to limp away. I'd be caught, be used as a trainer's pokemon, and forced to be a Rockruff's toy for the rest of my life.

Thankfully, Dusk had other ideas. "Jack, dodge to the right, and then the left, and then the right twice after that. They'll miss you if you're quick enough, but you have to move now."

Nodding, I listened to Dusk's orders, and quickly hopped to the right. The moment I did, a rock rushed past my head fast enough that I could feel the wind next to my face.

Hoping that I wasn't just lucky, I dodged to the left and then the right twice, each time moving with a quick hop that brought me closer and closer to the bushes surrounding the clearing.

Each time I moved, another rock would rush past my head, but none of them managed to hit thankfully. With the last hop, I was close enough to the bushes that I was able to jump forwards and into the safety of the forestry.

"Aw, it's in the bushes now!" I heard the girl cry out, causing me to sigh in relief. "But I refuse to give up that easily." She said, making me sigh in mild frustration.

I began to run again, going further into the forest, though I could hear the sound of a pokeball releasing another pokemon from behind me. Knowing that I now had two pokemon and a trainer after me, I knew I had to get as far away as quick as possible, or better yet, find my pokemon.

However, as I crashed through one bush after another, with the sounds of twigs snapping behind me and an ominous shadow occasionally casting down through the trees above, I was beginning to think that my only option would be to fight. If I couldn't find help soon, it would unfortunately come down to that.

Thankfully, luck was on my side at that moment, as I ran straight into the surprised face of Frost. He was surprised mainly due to how I then proceeded to crash into him, knocking us both over and onto the ground.

When we finished rolling, Frost had somehow managed to recover and had me pinned down underneath him. "Hey, I'm warning you, attacking me is not a good idea. So you better watch it or else I'll-"

"Stop it!" Ember called out, running over to us. "That's Jack! This is what I was telling you about, remember?"

Frost stopped his threats towards me, in which he thought I was a wild pokemon attacking him before. Now though, after Ember's explanation, he looked back down at me, before blinking and asking, "Jack?"

I nodded. "In the flesh, or should I say fur at the moment. Sorry you had to find out about the rest of my condition this way."

Frost quickly got off of me, looking away from me with his ears hanging low. "No, it's my fault. I should have known it was you since you're probably the only Zorua for miles around here, and Ember told us how you transform when you eat pokemon food, and I can't believe I just threatened you, and I'm really sorry and-"

"Frost, look, it's okay." I interrupted him, making him look up at me, though his ears were still back. "We all make mistakes sometimes. But now is not the time. There will be two pokemon here soon followed by their trainer. Please tell me you managed to find my bag….also, where's Drift?" I asked, looking around.

"Right here Jack!" Drift said, coming out from a few bushes beside an Eevee, and together the two were carrying my backpack. "Destiny and I managed to sneak your bag away from the Eevees, though they might realize that we tricked them soon. We should get out of here quickly."

I looked towards the Eevee apparently named Destiny, who gave a small smile and wave to me. "It's nice to meet you Destiny, and thanks a lot for helping. Somehow I know there's a bigger story here I just missed, but I'll ask about that later. Quickly, open the front pocket of the bag and give me what's inside."

Drift nodded, before turning to the bag and using her small fingers to get my bag of old gateau. Quickly tossing it over to me, I frantically pawed at the bag, already beginning to hear the crashes in the bushes as Cliff was beginning to catch up to me.

I managed to get to the gateau, but before I took a bite, I look up to the others. "Ember, could you get out some clothes for me from my bag please. As for the rest of you, you might want to look away for this. Drift and Frost, keep an eye out for some kind of bird pokemon and a Rockruff, alright?"

My pokemon nodded, and went to do their individual tasks, with Destiny following Ember over to the bag and talking to her about how I seemed pretty nice.

With that taken care of, I proceeded to eat the old gateau, the weird flavor and texture filling my mouth once more. However, I forced myself to force it down, making sure to eat the old gateau.

A moment later, the gateau's effect took place, and pain racked my body once more. As my bones shifted and my fur pulled back into my skin, I gasped out in pain, though once more it was lessened compared to before.

Several minutes later, I had managed to turn fully back into a human, and Ember was looking away from me with a blush while holding out my clothes as I recovered on the ground.

"Th...thanks Ember." I gasped out, taking the clothes, making sure to put them on as quickly as possible. However, as I was struggling to put my pants on, Drift ran up to me as Frost suddenly jumped into the bushes.

"Jack, you might want to hurry up! Someone's on their way, and Frost went to try to lead them away or distract them, though I'm not sure how long he'll be able to keep them away."

Thankfully, my pants were fully on by now, so I began to tug my shirt on. "Don't worry, I'm almost decent. Frost, get back here!" I called out, straightening my shirt out against myself.

Bending over, I began to put on my socks and shoes when Frost jumped back through the bushes. "There's a Rockruff just a few bushes away, though I distracted him by shooting an ice shard against a nearby tree. His trainer isn't too far behind him I don't think."

Nodding, I finished getting dressed, and quickly packed up my bag. "Alright, that's everything I think. Let's get out of here, and quickly. I'd rather not run into any angry Eevees or upset trainers at the moment."

"You're forgetting your disguise." Dusk said inside my head, in which I nodded and focused on creating my illusion as my team and I ran through the bushes.

As my ears faded away in the illusion, as well as my tail, I could hear crashing through the branches to my right. Suddenly, I was slammed in my right by a brown blur, with a familiar dog pokemon's voice screaming out "Got you bitch!"

Thankfully, I had braced myself, so my illusion wasn't broken as I was slammed into the ground. Glaring down at the Rockruff who had tackled against my chest, he had time to look confused before he was pushed off of me by a gust of wind, with Drift flapping her wings atop Frost, meanwhile Ember had her wand/stick out and Frost had ice crystals exiting his mouth. Oh, and Destiny was standing behind me looking nervous.

"Hey, don't hurt my Rockruff!" I heard a familiar female voice shout out from the bushes. Looking over, I saw the trainer from before come crashing through the bushes, though as she did, her foot caught on a root before tripping and landing on her face.

As we all watched her with a mixture of confusion and concern, the Rockruff got up and ran over to her. However, she instantly recovered and pulled her face out of the dirt and raised an arm up to point at me. "I'll have you know that I'm a strong trainer, and I will mess you up if you think you can hurt my pokemon outside an official battle!"

I began to get up, and as I brushed dirt off myself, I began talking to the strange girl. "I wasn't attacking you're pokemon, my pokemon were defending me. Your Rockruff suddenly rushed out of the bushes and tackled me, so my team went to defend me is all. Sorry if it seemed like I was purposely trying to hurt him." As I said this, I walked over and held out my hand to help her up.

The girl ignored my hand, getting up herself before looking at the Rockruff. "Is this true Cliff?" She asked.

Looking down, Cliff nodded with his ears lowered to his head. "Yes," He said, though only my pokemon and I could understand him. "I thought he was that Zorua, based on his scent. Even now, he still smells a lot like her."

The girl nodded, before looking up at me. "Sorry about that. We were chasing a Zorua through the woods, and he probably just got too excited and tackled the first sign of movement."

I shrugged. "It's no problem. I didn't really get hurt, and Cliff seems fine, so everything turned out fine. Now, if you excuse me, my team and I were headed back to town."

"Hey, wait a minute!" The girl said, making me stop midstep. "While you're here, I challenge you to a battle!"

I stopped for a moment, thinking. I didn't know how long I had till a group of upset Eevee would be here, but it would be rude to deny her a battle. "Sure," I said, "But let's find a larger area to have our battle. This forest is too crowded for any free movement for our pokemon."

The girl smiled at this, before nodding in excitement. "Alright, then let's go to the main route road then! It shouldn't be too far from here."

And so we began heading back to the main route, away from the forest with the Eevee and my second traumatic sexual experience in this world. I would soon be battling the strange girl who looked like (and acted like) an anime character, and then would be continuing my journey, now with an Eevee by my side.

But first will be the tale of my pokemon, and how they met Destiny.
