Route 202 (Jared's POV)

How long has it been since I came to this world? A day or two, perhaps a week at most, haven't been keeping track unfortunately. Those crazy adventures had really kept me busy as well, from saving a small ralts to defeating a fighting pokemon champion, all I want to do now is take a nap. Speaking of naps, I'm actually in my bed right now. Well, it's more of a sleeping bag than a bed but it's better than nothing.

In a few moments, I felt the start of the morning leak trough the seams of the tent. Rays of sunlight stroked my squinting eyes, making me want to raise my hand and block the somewhat annoying streams of light. I start the motion, but can't move my arms. I look over to see that both of my arms are in the hands of my pokemon.

To my left was Gem, a kirlia I saved in somewhat recent times. To my right was a blaziken, who I call Annabeth, which I "rescued" from a horrible trainer. I didn't want to wake them, they seem so comfortable plus it would be rude to. Then again—no, no I'm that kind of person right now I just need to find a way. I proceed to raise my foot to use as a substitute but the moment it reached my face I nearly hurled.

"Phew, I need to take a bath later," I thought, "but I can't do that until I actually escape."

Multiple plans ran through my head, most of them resulting in either me walking them up or just utter failure. And I'm not the type to "try" either. I live by many rules, one of which is "Do or do not, there is no try." Go ahead and guess who said that.

Another hour passed by with me just lying there, unable to do anything as the gentlemen I am. The only plan I had left was the most unreliable, which includes a good amount of sunlight to begin with. Yet it could work if everything went well enough.

"Now is a good of a time as any…" I let loose a shadow sneak. The shadow of my hand stretched and elongated, snaking its way out of the tent. Once out, I made it slither its way towards Zach's tent. From what I could hear, he was sound asleep with his loud snore.

When I reached Zach's tent I did whatever I could to wake him up. I first started to poke at him, no response. Next I tried lightly slapping his face, still no response. Finally, my last resolve was to try a hard pimp-slap, and with it I heard him yell out in pain. With the girls still asleep, I'd say my plan worked perfectly.

(Zach's POV)

"OW!" Is what I yelled from my rude wake-up call.

I looked around to see what was happening. I saw a shadow, moreover a shadow that looked like a hand, was what woke me up. The hand used a gesture that told me to follow, to which I got up and trailed it when it had gone back to where ever it came from. Outside my tent I saw the hand slipped into Jared's tent.

"Wait a sec…" I thought. "Why would the hand be in Jared's tent?"

I arrived at the entrance to his tent and peeked inside. Just only to stifle a few laughs to see why I was woken up. Jared was stuck between a rock and a hard place, or more precisely, between two female pokemon that could cause a ruckus real quick if they woke up early. Well, for Jared anyway.

"Seems like you've got things handled pretty nicely," I whispered to not wake up the girls. "So why do you need my help?"

"Ha-ha, very funny." He whispered back. "Just teleport me out of here and I'll tell you,"

I rolled my eyes and crouched to grab a hold on one of his legs. My eyes glowed with blue psychic energy, teleporting me and Jared a few yards away from his tent and into the forest.

I asked again, "So why you wake me up with a slap?"

He began to answer while stretching, finally able to move about. "I needed to get out is all, and you know how the girls if they were waken up early."

I shake a little in dread, remembering what happen last time the girls were woken up.

"Oh man you're right," I said still shaking. "We're lucky your plan worked."

"Yeah I know. Well see you later." He started to walk away, waving behind him.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I got to take bath man, I stink like a skuntank." He continued to walk away.

I took a subtle whiff of the air, hastily clutching my nose. What he said was true, and I didn't want to stick around to keep smelling what he left behind. I ran into my tent, getting back into bed to sleep away whatever was left of the morning.

Later in the day… (Gem's POV)

"Another day, another time I get to see- wait, where did he go?" That's what I was thinking when I noticed Jared was missing… again.

I was barely awake when I noticed Jared had gone. I rubbed my eyes to get the sleepiness out of them. When I looked around the tent, all I saw was Jared's unkempt sleeping bag and my love rival Annabeth.

"Why is she here?!" I thought. "Isn't she supposed to be in her pokeball or something?!"

I can never understand why Jared brought her along with us. Sure, she needed to be freed from that mean tournament owner, but couldn't she become like a wild pokemon or something! I can never understand what Jared could be thinking. Actually, I can't read his thoughts at all.

Even before he gotten his powers from Arceus, his mind was always something that was too difficult to comprehend. When I enter his mind, I always find myself in a bright, white square room with four different doors. They each have their own design, with nothing in common except having a large lock and chains wrapped around them. I'm not strong enough to open them or anything, but I might be when I evolve.

But anyway, what I need to do is see where Jared goes to every morning. It's not like he's in trouble or anything, I just like to know where he goes.

I got up and grabbed my dress from Jared's bag. Oh by the way, my species are actually able to remove our dress and wear any other article of clothing. I mean seriously, these dresses get torn and ruined easily—it would suck if it's the only thing I could wear.

I walk out of the tent with my usual white dress, glancing back once to see Annabeth shivering a little. I rolled my eyes, turned around and used my psychic powers to pull a blanket over her. Just because she's my rival doesn't mean I can't be nice.

When I was out of the tent I looked to see if there were any traces of Jared's whereabouts. In a few moments of searching, I discovered shoe prints leading to the forest.

[It's the only lead I got…] I sighed, ready for my own little adventure.

The forest was quiet in the morning, yet it felt very sound and peaceful. I lived in the forest for my entire life until recently, so it's not really anything new. Ever since Jared saved me from that raging beast, I feel in love with him ever since. And when he let me come with him on his adventures, my love just flourished immensely. But I do still miss my parents from time to time.

As I was passing through the forest, I found myself at a large creek. In the distance I saw someone, who I believed to be human, swimming through the creek. I looked around to see if there were any other humans, but to my surprise there was only one person. And an even bigger surprise was that that person's clothes were right next to me. On a closer inspection, the clothes look a lot like Jared's clothes….

Oh my Arceus, he's in the buff.

Back at camp... (Daryl's POV)

I woke up, hearing the soft footsteps of my friends leaving the campsite one by one. From what I could hear, Jared was the first one to leave, who later woke up Zach with an audible slap and brought him out to the woods. Afterwards, Zach came back to his tent in a hurry to sleep. And in a few moments, Gem came out and left as well, probably in search of Jared. That's what I could understand from listening in anyway. I didn't actually leave my tent or anything, just a guess.

Just like every morning, the gentle winds and bright sunlight filled the morning air. It's also about the time someone or something disturbs the peace right about… now.

A falling tree shook the earth, followed by the sound of more trees dropping. As I looked out my tent to see what was happening, out of the woods emerged a horde of angry bidoofs. Usually bidoofs are peaceful creatures, but the trees falling must be the cause of their sudden rampage. On a second glance, I think it's the bidoof that caused the trees to fall in the first place.

I grabbed my twin katanas from my tent and unsheathed them, ready to defend everyone left in the camp. Even though I could use my pokemon to fight this battle, they've yet to learn self-constraint. They would make a huge mess with all of the bidoofs, and I don't want to be the one to clean up after them.

When the bidoofs reached the camp, I counted there to be a baker's dozen or so, which is about thirteen. I raised my swords in a threatening manner, hoping to have them back off a little. But just as people say, they have nerves of steel.

The biggest bidoof, who I believe to be the leader, stepped up. He began speaking in the usual pokemon language.

"Hey Dark, you awake?" I asked telepathically.

"Of course I am," she responded. "With clamor like that happening outside my pokeball, I'm sure everyone but Zach would be wake."

"Okay good. So do you know what their leader is saying?"

Dark listened in on what the leader bidoof said. She translated: "'you humans are always thinking we bidoofs are a dumb species. Today, our kind will kill you all…' and blah, blah, blah. I'm sure you understand."

"Right, thank you." When my report with Dark was over, the bidoofs charged.

There was about six of them charging at me with physical attack moves, while another six were providing support with special attacks. The leader was the one relaying their plan of attack all the way in the back. For bidoofs, they seemed too well coordinated to be attack like this, but that didn't matter.

I retaliated by dodging and blocking all their hits. If they got to close, I'd flip them over with my swords, and if they attack from afar, I rebound their attack back to their own.

After a while, the bidoofs began to slow down, giving me a chance to strike back. I get into a stance, legs spread apart and my katanas spread-out with one behind me and the other to the right. When they all stopped, I began the counter-attack.

"Twin swords style: Silver Cyclone!" I twisted the midsection of my body around, then spinning the other way. The six bidoofs that were around me were blown into the air, spinning from the mini twister I created. Once they were in the air, I stopped and crossed my swords, readying another attack.

"Twin swords style: Meteor Shower." I jumped in the air with all the other bidoof. Then using the blunted ends of my blades, I shot them down at tremendous speed at the other six bidoofs, leaving their leader unharmed for something special I have planned.

Dust and dirt flew in the air when the bidoofs fell. The dust cleared eventually once I landed, only leaving me and the leader bidoof left standing. I raised my sword once more, pointing it at the leader. It was afraid, I can see it in its eyes, but it still won't back down.

It began another speech, talking in the same language as before. I didn't ask Dark to translate for me again, I wasn't listening anymore. I sheathed my left katana while I raised the right one above my head, holding on to my arm with my hand to keep it from shaking for my new technique. For this new technique, it requires focus, and focus requires an idiom or something like that.

"In the world of pokemon, there are 18 types: Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy. My sword can use any type, all types, at any range, at any time. This is my technique…"

"One sword style: Soaring 18 Type Blade!" I bring my sword down, slashing the air with as much power as I could. The air I slashed compressed and shot forward, heading straight for the leader bidoof.

(Normal POV)

In the middle of the bidoof's speech, Daryl launched his new technique. In one moment, the air slash he created went straight through the bidoof.

He counted down, sheathing his blade as he did. "Three… two… one…"

When the guard of his sword reached the end of his sheathe, the bidoof fell to the ground.

[What's going on?] Daryl turned around to see Annabeth coming out of Jared's tent. [And what's with all the dead bidoof's?]

"Hey Dark," Daryl whispered, "translation please?"

"She asked 'what was going on' and 'what's with all the bidoofs'" Dark replied.

"Thank you." He turned towards Annabeth to answer her question.

"The bidoofs were attacking the camp," he said. "But I saved everyone."

He thought he would get some recognition from Annabeth, but she only said, [That's nice. So where's Jared?]

Daryl looked down at his pokeball containing Dark, anticipating another translation.

"She said 'that's nice, but where's Jared?'" Daryl sighed.

"He's in the forest somewhere," he told her. "He left real early in the morning, but I don't know exactly where."

She nodded and thanked Daryl before leaving the camp site in search of her trainer. Daryl sighed again, walking back to his tent to rest after the battle. Inside the tent, he grabbed his watch in his backpack, seeing it was only 10:15 a.m.

"Damn, almost forgot breakfast." He got up again and took a few supplies in his bag to make breakfast.

Back at Jared's location…

Jared was still swimming through the creek, merrily feeling the cool water waking him up. But in the middle of his bath, he stopped just when his stomach roared in starvation.

"Whoa there," he rubbed his belly. "We'll get food eventually, just got to finish four more laps."

As he continued swimming, Gem was sitting at the edge of the creek enjoying the "view". She was drooling, thinking of about the part of Jared underneath the water. When she realized what she was thinking, she shook her head, trying to get the perverted thoughts out.

"Ugh, what am I thinking? I shouldn't be having thoughts like those! Thoughts like Jared striding out of the water completely naked… the water glistening off his hot, muscular body… the—NO! Must resist…" She held her head, focusing her thoughts on anything but Jared.

Suddenly, the bushes behind her started rustling. She glanced behind and jumped away to distance herself from the bushes. She took a defensive stance, getting ready to take on whatever was about to come out. And out of the bushes came out was… Annabeth.

Gem did a double-take, astonished to see Annabeth unexpectedly arriving at the creek. She quickly regained her composure and asked her, [What are you doing here?]

[Oh hello Gem…] Annabeth said with a smirk. [I was trying to find Jared but it seems that my search is over.]

[What do you want with him?] Gem questioned with a brow raised.

[Well… I thought I could spend a bit of "alone" time with him.] She fluttered her eyes in Jared direction, staring at him in yearning.

Gem pouted, irritated at Annabeth's attempts of affection. [No way he's mine!]

Annabeth sharply turns her head towards Gem. [And how is he yours short-stack. He isn't exactly off the market.]

[Oh yeah?!] Gem was eager to fight.

[Yeah, besides you're only a little kid.]

[I'm not a kid you… you… pompous rooster!] That got on Annabeth's nerves.

[Well at least I got breasts you ironing board.] The fight is on!

[Feather face!]

[Small fry!]

[Chicken breath!]

[String bean!]

[Chest monster!]

[Wanna go!] Annabeth took a fighting stance.

[Bring it on!] Gem took her own, having her psychic power show greatly. But during their name game, Jared had overheard the fight and got out of the water to try and stop them.

"Girls, girls, stop this nonsense, please!" He raised his hands suggesting they should stop.

They looked at him, then down, and then suddenly fainted with a comically large amount of blood squirting out their noses. Jared wondered why the girls fainted till he looked down.

"Oh yeah, I don't have my clothes on, right." He picked up his clothes where he last left them and put them on.

"Might as well get back to camp, can't leave the girls like this," his stomach rumbled again. "And I need to get some breakfast too."

He picked up the girls on his shoulders and started running back to camp.

Back at camp… again…

Daryl had finally finished making breakfast. The meal consisted of a large pot of meaty stew, an enormous platter of hearty omelets with a sort of mystery meat, and a few other things like toast, berry juice and Moomoo milk.

He and Zach had already started eating, but also waited on Jared to return with Gem and Annabeth. On cue, he had arrived just as the two took their first few bites. They looked over, their mouths immediately over flowing with food.

"Hey Jared," Zach said between bites. "How did your bath go?"

Jared placed the girls in his tent before answering. "Went great, but I think I rather have a more private place to bath."

"What happen to the girls?" Daryl asked.

"Oh uhhh, they fainted when they say me in the buff." They nearly chocked on their food laughing.

"You serious!" They both asked, still laughing.

Jared nodded, taking a seat on a nearby log with the rest of them, grabbing his own bowl of food. He took a bite, and then began mowing down on the mystery meat stew and omelets.

"Daryl, what meat kind of meat is this?" He kept on eating while asking.

"What? Oh, it's bidoof meat." He pointed back to the bones of the wild bidoofs that attack him earlier.

Jared stopped eating for a second, mouth still open wide on the fact that they're actually eating pokemon. He then shrugged and soon continued eating, remembering his younger days of watching an episode of pokemon where they would magicarp and such. When they all finished eating, they then considered on where to go next.

"So Daryl, where on the map is the next city?" Jared asked.

"Well… it says the next city is… Jubilife City." Zach suddenly squealed with excitement.

"Jubilife City! That's the biggest city in Sinnoh! We got to go there." He was practically jumping in anticipation.

Jared stood up from his log seat, pointing his finger towards the sky. "Then I guess Jubilife City is up next!"

"Dude… why are you pointing?" Daryl asked.

Jared only shrugged. "It seemed appropriate at the time. Come on, let's pack up and go!"

That's all folks. Now you may be wondering why I am uploading this on the last day of the month, I've got a very good reason for that. As you know, I'm still in high school. If you didn't know that, then surprise!

Anyway, my school in going to have the ACT test soon, and if you don't know what the ACT test is, it's just like the SAT. If you don't know what any of those tests are, then look them up on the Internets.

Since the ACT is very important and because I'm aiming for a score above 30 out of 36, I will need about a month and a half to cramp as much study material as possible. That means no chapter 15 till March/April.

Sorry but yeah… have a good life, bye!

P.s. Expect there to be changes in the previous chapters, I reread them all and plan to fix them/make the better.
