-Pokemon Center- -Joy PoV- -3 weeks later-
The day so far has been fairly normal. That event like a month and a half though, it still haunts me. I could see how much that Kirlia cared for her trainer. I can't imagine what would make him do that. Couldn't he just put her in her Pokeball if she bothered him? Just then the phone rang.
"Fallarbor Pokemon Center, how can we help you?" I asked.
"Hello Joy, this is Jenny." Officer Jenny said.
"Oh hello what's going on?" I asked.
"That new trainer, the one with the Kirlia." Jenny started.
"Yeah what about him?" I asked.
"They let him go." She told me.
"What do you mean they let him out?!" I yelled into the phone.
"I asked the same thing." Jenny started. "Apparently we don't know anything over here. And he asked them to think about the information again. And they realized everything was a mistake."
"He hurt his Pokemon with a lethal poison, what's wrong about that?" I asked.
"I don't know, but let us know if you see him." Jenny told me. "We'll be right there."
"Okay thank you." I said as I hung up. "Bull crap I don't know what I'm talking about."
I paced around until I heard somrthing. It was the alarm saying a Pokemon recovered. I took the Pokemon to its trainer. Then I talked a little more.
-Tony PoV -
"Ah finally back to Fallarbor, why does it have to be night though?" I whined, half relieved and half annoyed. "Maybe I'll get a room at the Pokemon Center."
I decided and entered the building.
"Huh, I feel like I'm forgetting something important." I said to myself. "Something really important. Eh, if I can't remember then I guess it wasn't."
I walked in and towards the front desk while the Nurse Joy glared daggers at me. Then she picked up the phone and it looked like she only hit three numbers.
"Jenny come quick he's here!" Joy yelled into the phone.
"Oh!" I said to myself. "That's what it was."
At that I turned and left. I still ha to find out where they were. This sucked. Then I heard a very faint police siren. So I ducked in the woods and let them pass.
"Ugh, maybe I'll see if my brother knows anything." I thought out loud.
My brother was in the trainers' school in Rustboro City. At least last I remember. So I pulled out my PokeNav and gave him a call.
"Yo Jake." I started. "What's up?"
"Thanks for calling me." He said. "I've been meaning to call you, but I kept forgetting."
"Okay but first, I got an important question." I told him to make him wait. "My Pokemon were taken from me. Do you know where they could be? I've been asking around at Pokemon Cent..." He cut me off.
"Yes, I do." He told me.
"How?" I asked. I didn't even tell you what Pokemon.
"They are here in Rustboro. They are being used in the Trainers' School program. Register for class, then you can meet back up with them. Meet me here after you get reunited and I'll explain the rest." He said.
"Okay I'm in Falarbor now. Its gonna be about two weeks." I told him.
-Jake (Tony's brother) PoV-
"Okay, I'll see you when you get here." I said as I hung up.
"Okay thank you for cooperating Jake." An Officer Jenny said.
"No problem." I told them.
"How are you okay with tricking your brother though." She asked.
"Easy." I replied. "I can't stand Pokephiles."
"You do know that it is legal in Hoenn, right?" She asked.
"Yeah, that's why I want to be a trainer." I said. "I can go to Kanto, Sinnoh or Kalos where it's illegal."
"Okay, but again, thanks for helping." Jenny thanked me.
-Tony PoV-
"Wow, he really came through for me." I thought. "Good thing he's not like mom."
Again like old times I thought I was funny, so I laughed at myself.
"I do wish I'd've called him sooner though." I whined again. "Could've forgotten coming all the way up here.
So I started towards Meteor Falls. I bunch of Fisherman and Bug Catchers challenged me to battles. My Fletchling did wonders in the battles against the Bug Catchers. While Cacnea battled the Fisherman. After the fifth battle, Fletching got surrounded in the oh-so-familiar white glow. Then afterwards I had a new Fletchinder.
"I'm surprised so many people are out this late at night." I thought. "What do they just camp out with lasers that alert them when someone passes by?"
Again I laughed at myself. But once I was done, I decided it was time for bed. So I propped my tent and sleeping bag, crawled in and went to sleep.
"It's been a really weird day." Is the last thought i remember. Before going to sleep.
So I'm almost to Rustboro City. It's probably just another day. Maybe two, if i walk slowly, and knowing me, that's kinda likely. It is nightfall so I'll be going to sleep soon. All I gotta do is find a spot to set up camp.
I walked for about another 30 minutes or so, when I found a small clearing. It was perfect. Big enough for a camp fire with out worrying about the trees and I could also see if it was daylight out (In case midnight bathroom breaks happen). I got my tent set up, got a fire started and got my Pokemons' dinner ready. After that, I got my own dinner. Just a peanut butter and oran berry jam sandwich.
"Ah, the simple things." I mumbled as I took a bite. "So, cheap yet so good."
Snapping out of my mouthgasm, I heard my bag rustling. "What are you doing in my bag?" I asked taking another bite.
As I asked that, I could tell that the creature knew what it was doing because I saw a hump in my bag turn around and fall forward, trying to run. I saw a tiny pink round figure emerge from my bag with red on it's chest. It was a tiny Igglybuff just trying to get food. The red juice on it's chest, had a few rounded spikes on in it. The poor thing grabbed a tamato berry. I laughed a little as i grabbed a great ball and tapped it on the Igglybuff's head.
"Maybe, I shouldn't have said anything." I thought as I pictured the tiny Pokemon eating something really spicy. "Actually, most Pokemon know that those are spicy. Must be a baby." I didn't think it was still quite as funny, but still worthy of a chuckle.
Either way, I shook that thought, filled a bowl with some chopped up Pecha berries. Just in case it's young, give it something soft. Then I called it out, placed the bowl in front of it, and pulled out my Pokedex to check it out.
"Hmm, ... Are you serious...?" I whined as I looked at the Pokedex. "I caught an infant. It's only level 3... Ugh, this is gonna be a nightmare." I whined some more as I tried to get my thoughts back together. "Ok what else?" I asked myself. "Okay, male to female ratio is 1:4. Mine is a girl, okay that's normal. She knows Sing, Charm, and Defense Curl. She will learn Pound at level 5. Alright universe, challenge accepted." I went on at myself then something hit me. "Oh, when I get Kirlia back, we can treat this Igglybuff as our child... No wait never mind, Kirlia's only about a yer old herself." I thought. "No, no, no, bad thought. That's really young. But, she's a Pokemon, she's different. No she's still a child. But in Pokemon culture, they have kids as early as 8 months so it's normal. Ah! I don't know!" I saw my Pokemon all staring at me. So I stopped, took a deep breath and gathered my self. "In her culture, she's more than old enough, so everything works out. Besides I have no bad intentions, so no worries."
With that I calmed down and finished my sandwich. Then I went over knelt down and talked to the newly caught Igglybuff.
"So, it probably wasn't the best idea, crawling into someone's bag." I started. "I captured you now. So that means we're gonna work together to get you stronger. Got it?" I asked as it nodded it's head. "Okay that's settled."
So with that, I explained what we do at night, if she's out of the Pokeball that is. Then I said goodnight to everyone, crawled into my tent, and went to sleep.
-Tony's Dream- -Tony's PoV-
I was standing in an arena it looked like the Pokemon league. The Hoenn League perhaps? I was standing at the spot the trainers stand. Then I heard the announcer.
"Ladies and Gentleman, this is it!" He said over the speaker. "This is the moment you've all been waiting for! The final match!" He continued.
"Awesome we made it too the finals! This is awesome, Gardevoir, we're doing it!" I shouted.
"What are you talking about?" She asked. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah why?" I asked as the announcer continued.
"On the blue side, our champion, Tony!" He yelled excitedly.
I looked down at my feet. "I'm the champion?" I asked as Gardevoir shook her head.
"And on the red side, the challenger who has swept each of the Elite Four members." The announcer stopped as the crowd cheered. "The one - only, -!" Was all I could make out, over the crowds' cheers.
"Go! Gardevoir." I said as Gardevoir walked forward.
"He's starting with his star Pokemon! This is truly a sight to behold!" The announcer cheered with the crowd.
"Good, go Gengar!" The opposing trainer called as a Gengar wearing a necklace with a mega stone came out.
"Oh crap." Was all I remember saying as everything cut to black.
-Back to normal- -Tony's PoV-
"Why?" I asked no one in particular. "Why do I always miss his name?" I asked as I sat up. "Every single time. Ugh, whatever."
I exited my tent and prepared breakfast for the others.
"Wow, the fire is still going? What black magic is this?" I asked myself.
Either way, I placed their bowls and gave their usual breakfast mix. Cereal with oran berry bits. I made Igglybuff a oran berry jam sandwich, and cut it into the smallest pieces i could manage. And got myself some of the cereal as well. They liked it, i did to, and it was cheap, perfect.
I saw some more people in red outfits, like the ones I saw about 10 days ago in the meteor falls where I admittedly got lost. They had some weird device but I just ignored them. When they saw me, they tried picking a fight, but I told them I was just minding my own business and wouldn't mess with them. Then, they left me alone. Good thing too, I didn't want to deal with battles, especially since I knew I was already lost. Either way, these ones just walked right past, and ignored me. So that's a plus.
I was about to recall my Pokemon when I had a thought. I reached into my bag, and grabbed what looked like a wire helmet, (Exp. Share), and put it on Igglybuff's head then recalled her.
"There we go, that will work." I said happily to myself. "Now let's hope she evolves soon, so she can learn some decent moves.
So with that I took off towards Rustboro, to get back my beloved. I was so excited, that I decided to run. I swear, with breaks for water and catching my breath, I probably ran for 2 hours. I then sat down for a few, pulled out my Pokenav and checked the map. It said that I had probably six hours left by foot (walking).
"Wow! That shaved off 6 hours." I exclaimed excitedly. "Too bad there are trainers ahead." I was now whining again.
About another two and a half hours later Igglybuff who I was carrying for now had grown to level 5 and learned Pound. After being congratulated, she didn't want to go into her ball and held her arms up, asking to be held. It was so cute, I couldn't say no. So, I picked her up. She then wanted to walk so I called out Fletchinder to help watch her.
After about 4 hours and two more battles. We stopped for lunch. I fed everyone their fill of berries cause I did kinda forget to stock up at Fallarbor. After that I gave the three older ones some snacks and Igglybuff some jellied bread. Then I went to recall everyone and again Igglybuff wanted to be held. So, I picked her up, held her tight and ran the next two hours. After that I could see the town and I couldn't have been more excited. So I ran straight to the Pokemon Center and got my Pokemon checked up. Then went right to the trainers' school. Turns out sign ups for the next week were open until 5pm. So I signed up and went in to talk to instructors.
"Umm, miss, could I ask you something?" I asked trying to be polite.
"Yes you can, what is it?" She asked in return.
"I just signed up for the class starting next week." I started. "So, would I be able to meet some of the Pokemon now?" I asked.
"I'm sorry but we can't do that." She told me. "You could potentially and unintentionally interrupt the class."
"Ok I understand." I said upset as I sulked away.
Since i couldn't start, I went to the Pokemart and stocked up on stuff. Hey, on the bright side, at least it's Friday, only a day and a half.
So I went around the town and did some sight seeing until it was late. Turns out there is a lot that I missed last time, that's what I get for hurrying I guess so then I went and got a room at the Pokemon Center. And had a pretty normal night.
The next morning after breakfast, I went to go look around some more. Then after about 30m minutes I heard someone.
"Any trainer, who thinks they can best me in a battle step on up!" The boy shouted. "$20,000 if you can best me!"
I took a peak inside my wallet. I did buy a lot of stuff at the mart and did pay for admission into the class. I swear I saw dust leave my wallet once I opened it. So I went over to the boy.
"I accept your challenge." I told him.
"Okay then bring it on." He said. He let out a Blaziken. "This friend of mine has never lost a battle." The boy bragged.
"Okay go Swampert." I said.
"Hmm, okay this was unexpected." He grumbled. "Blaziken, Sunny Day!" The boy called.
"Swampert, Mud Shot." I said.
"Not, using water?" The boy asked being smug.
"Why?" You used Sunny Day, it would be weaker.
"Oh you know." He said.
Then since he was too busy talking, he couldn't tell his Blaziken to dodge. So it got hit in the chest with Mud Shot.
"Retaliate with Blaze Kick." The boy shouted.
"Slow him with Muddy Water and dodge." I said.
So Blaziken jumped up and his foot engulfed in flames. Then Swampert put up a wall of brownish water and stepped to the side as Blaziken crashed into and slowly came to the ground with the flame on his foot, extinguished.
"Rock Slide next." Was my next call.
"Crap, SolarBeam, do it." He called.
As rocks started falling on Blaziken, a beam of light hit Swampert. After the bright light cleared, they were both standing as the Sunny Day faded.
"Sunny Day again." The Boy called.
Then Swampert jumped up and slammed back down making the whole ground shake and crumble underneath Blaziken who fell down and fainted upon hitung the ground.
"Wow Swampert, nice job learning Earthquake. I guess that means Mud Bomb is gone." I congratulated.
"Alright, a promise is a promise, here you go." The boy said handing me $20,000.
"Thank you." I said.
With that I took Swampert to the Pokemon center. After he was back I got lunch taken care of. Then went to go sit down on a bench. Then after returning all but Igglybuff who liked being babied, some men approached.
"Tony?" One of them asked.
"Yes? Who's asking?" I asked back.
"Hoenn region police." The other man said. We have some questions.
"Ugh, for real?" I asked thoroughly annoyed with police.
"Yes come with us." They said as I followed them to the station.
After sitting at a desk, the questions started.
"So you were released from Kalos?" One asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"And how is that?" The first asked.
"I proved that the charges were wrong and stupid." I told him straight up.
"How is that?" The second asked.
"Kirlia's part fairy." I started then held up Cacnea's Pokeball. "Before catching it, this Cacnea used Toxic, which is Super Effective on fairy types.
"Meaning?" The second one asked again.
"The Toxic that this Cacnea used was what was in my Kirlia, not some fake synthetic poison that I have no clue how to make." I told them. "In the end that nurse is stupid and should be fired for not knowing that."
"Agreed." The first replied. "But why are you back in Hoenn, and not remaining in Kalos?" He asked.
"To get back my Pokemon you guys stole from me." I said.
"Oh okay." The first one stammered.
"In that case, you're free to go." The second cop said. "We'll contact all branches tomorrow and let them know."
"Thank you." I said as I turned around and left.
"Geez, it's already night out? How did they keep me that long?" I asked honestly confused. "Eh whatever it's a nice way to kill time."
So I went to the Pokemon center got back to the room and crashed for the night.
