A wild update appeared! I am currently sitting in the car fighting boredom and trying not to get carsick. Yeah, I did make a Doctor Who reference more than once in here. You get an internet cake if you name all of them in a review. Time to write! This will be posted (hopefully) tonight (11/27).

Reviews!

Travbot01: I will keep putting out chapters until this story is finished. I really appreciate that this is your favorite story!

Galladelucarioman: Yeah, I put "A wild update appeared!" in front of my chapters. There is no real reason why. I will clarify their levels in this chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 2(11): A Heroic Companion

I found myself once again lost in thought as we walked through the empty lands east of Mt. Moon. We had a mission of our own choosing. We finally found our own path, and apparently one that would take us far away from the paths of Greg and the Mew who had done this to me. Done this to both of us.

I straightened up. I had not even realized that my head was drooping. Let them be the heroes. I never asked for this, I never asked for any of this, but I chose to remain. I had my chance for an easy way out. It had been one or the other, but no more.

I played their game, and I won. No more will I be a pawn in this cosmic chess game. I have chosen my own path. I looked up at the sky. The sun had reached its full height and was beating down on us. As I scanned our surroundings I noticed a lone figure standing on a rock in the distance. I motioned for Leah to stop walking and pointed out the figure.

My heart leapt into my throat as the figure seemed to notice us, and let some bird Pokémon out of its ball, who flew him over to where we were standing. As they neared I felt the temperature dropping. My jaw dropped as I realized what the bird was and who the only person who the figure could possibly be.

I unconsciously took a step backwards as the reigning Kanto champion jumped down the last few feet as Articuno landed next to him. His name was Allen, and he had defeated his own father to become the second youngest champion ever, at twelve years old. That was ten years ago.

He recalled Articuno then pulled out his pokédex, a model I had never seen before. It quickly identified us and relayed the information back to him. "Species identified as Glaceon, the Ice type evolution of Eevee. One male at level 70, one female at level 75. Species is not native to Kanto but can be found throughout most other regions."

The champion frowned at this. "It says here that you have never had a trainer," he said pointing at me, and then moved over to Leah. "And that had a trainer, but you've been out of your pokéball for long enough that the automatic release system kicked in a few days ago… let's see…. You were registered to someone named Avery, and your name is Leah." He looked puzzled. "Last time your trainers pokédex was updated, you were an Eevee, and according to this, neither of you have ever been to a region that has an Ice Stone."

He straightened up, seeming agitated. "Where is your trainer? Who is this—" He faltered in the middle of his sentence. Leah had raised one paw and pointed it at me. "How is that possible?" he asked. "How does a trainer become a Pokémon?" Suddenly he slapped the side of his head. "Oh, right. I have a psychic type with me."

He tapped one of the six pokeballs on his belt and in a flash of light, an Alakazam appeared. "Alakazam, could you please find out who these are?" The champion asked, and too my surprise the Alakazam responded in English. "I will try my best." It said, before turning to face us.

I felt a presence sifting gently throught my mind as the Alakazam's eyes glowed purple. He slowly turned to me and spoke. "My, my. Don't you have an interesting story." He slowly turned back to his master. "The male is named Avery. He used to be a human but was turned into an Eevee by a Mew. The female is named Leah and was his pet. They are currently together, and have set out to go to Snowpoint city in the Sinnoh region."

The champion nodded. "That explains a lot. I only don't understand what you mean by 'together'." The Alakazam raised his eyebrows. "Oh." The champion said, snickering slightly. "Well, I suppose I should help you guys out a bit. Since the next set of trainers won't be competing to challenge me for another two months, I will travel with you guys until you reach Sinnoh."

He recalled Alakazam, and we set out walking. As we walked, he demonstrated a well-developed ability to sustain conversations when no one else was talking. He was a remarkable silly person for having defeated the Elite Four and his own father to become champion at such a young age.

"What I still don't get is how you two became Glaceons. I would know if there was an Ice Rock in Kanto." He said, then went off on a tangent and started talking about his favorite type of fruit. We kept walking until the sun had set. We were still out in the middle of nowhere, but we had made progress.

"Alright, let's stop here." He said, and started unpacking his things. He set up a small tent and got a campfire going. After this, he released all six of his Pokémon. To be honest, beyond Alakazam and Articuno his team was rather underwhelming. He had a Bulbasaur, a Pikachu, a Growlithe, and a weird sword-like Pokémon which I did not recognize.

The champion saw me looking at the Pokémon. "That's Honedge, a Pokémon from the Kalos region. Ghost and steel type." He clarified. "Feel free to go around looking for berries or hunt, whichever you prefer. I also have some extra food if you need." I looked around, and noticed that every Pokémon besides the Bulbasaur had left to get food.

I looked over at Leah, and she just shrugged. "I'm kind of tired, let's see what food he has." She said, and I nodded.

"I agree, and also I want to talk a bit with the Bulbasaur." We walked over to the Bulbasaur, and the Champion got started cooking something. "Hello!" I said to the Bulbasaur. "My name is Avery, and this is Leah."

"H-Hi, I'm Vine." The Bulbasaur said, not sounding all that confident.

"I couldn't help but notice that you were staying here while the others all went out." I said.

"That's because I was his starter." He said, sounding kind of proud. "All the others were caught wild, and I never felt that comfortable looking around for food."

"Yeah, Leah was my pet, and—" I started to say but Vine interrupted me.

"Wait she was your pet?" He asked, but before could continue, the Champion called out.

"Dinners ready!"

"Tell me about this more after diner." Vine said, before rushing over towards the camp fire and his master.
