I Don't Own Pokemon
I've heavily underestimated how much I needed to relax, it had been about a week since I had arrived in Undella. And I really have to say, dear lord, it's nice to not have some goal I have to deal with. This is the first time since I've arrived in the plane of bloody existence that I haven't had something to deal with in the immediate future. Ranging from the Kanto Gyms, the Indigo League, dealing with Team Rocket, and hell even getting here, I've always had some goal to move towards and try and get done.
So just sitting down in one spot and just not worry about the next event I have to deal with, instead I could just sit around and do nothing. I have no idea how I've gone so long without doing something as nice as nothing. Oh course it hasn't been completely peaceful, some people still has recognized me which lead to some interesting conversations considering I've spent most of my time on that patch of beach that was mostly deserted.
So when they do find me, they also found some interesting sights, like Zekrom helping Luxray out on improving his Wild Charge into something similar to their Bolt Strike. Which I'm sure would be terrifying for most to watch, considering that random shots of lightning just kind of went out in every direction. On the flip side, my Son has been teaching Zekrom Hyper Volt. Both of them were basically learning each other's specialized move.
I would have preferred if my team didn't train, but it's what they do for fun, and because we were constantly moving from one city to another they were enjoying just spending all day just having fun with doing stuff like Zekrom and Luxray has been doing. Most of them could be seen doing something similar to some degree, like Pidgeot, who was mixing training with having fun.
Most of the time he would break the sound barrier a few times over and just fly over the ocean going close to what I think is close to mach nine or ten, which is his max speed currently, and he was having a blast moving at such a speed, as usually he can't move that fast, even in battle, without getting to far away from everyone else, but because we're staying in one place he could without worry. I'm also pretty sure he's also doing it to improve his speed to an even more ridiculous extent, or at least his acceleration.
Vaporeon has done just a crazy amount of things, taking heavy advantage of being so close to the ocean. In fact I think she has had a hell of a time just making random absolutely massive tidlewaves in every direction before watching as they all slammed into each other. It isn't often she has such an open source of water to use how ever she wants. And that's all without mentioning the insane spree of move modifications she's done.
Ice Beam being the main focus of most of them. Ranging from making her already modification move Water Slash into an Ice type variation called Ice Slash, which involved throwing a blade of ice at the targeted area. To another muti-shot variation, where she has managed to hit about three different targets with decent success with three separate beams of ice at the same time. And last I checked she was working combining Aurora Beam and Ice Beam into one really strong Ice type move, which I have no idea as to what to expect as the end result.
Next to talk about is Mismagius who, while not as obviously having fun with training as a clear side benefit, she has taken to talking with Servine and has recently started messing around with her incredibly varied pool of moves. I'm willing to bet that she is beginning to find contests interesting as well, which leads to some interesting interactions with her and my Snake. Though they make a surprisingly good pair, getting in conversations about random things at times, and they even seem to get along quite well.
Charizard, being him, didn't have much pretense of having fun as the others did. I'm sure he was still enjoying himself, but it was a lot more obvious where is head was when I heard that he had asked Zekrom about learning Dragon Claw, a move that Zekrom had used against him at one point in our battle. So I made sure to spend sometime with him, in which I made sure to distract him from training by just talking, which he really seemed to enjoy as well, so I count it as a win.
Lycanroc was the only one that actually just spent time relaxing like I have been doing as well, showing off his Lax nature that doesn't come up often. Of course that's not to say he didn't train at all, sadly he still had the same amount of joy from getting stronger as everyone else on the team. Which means that after some asking around from the others, and myself for advice, he managed to end up with Fire and Focus Punch being added to his move pool.
Servine, besides finally breaking through some mental barrier and managing to learn Leaf Tornado, didn't learn anything else. But with that learn he did manage to upgrade Magical Vine into a different move that we've taken to call, Vine Tornado with is basically the same move just a good bit stronger. Though it doesn't have the same multi colored leaf effect as the other move, which wouldn't be as effect on a contest score side of things, that doesn't change the fact that Servine is also a battle Pokemon as well.
That's all that had been happening during the last week, at the moment though me and Zekrom were having a conversation about just random things to be honest. Just whatever came to mind one of us would ask about it. It was mostly Zekrom asking about the world and all that, but that got me curious so I asked them about something that had occurred to me slightly a while ago but didn't care to ask.
"Have you heard anything from either Reshiram or Kyurem since you've woken up? I'm pretty sure Reshiram's light stone is in a shrine somewhere, and I think Kyurem is somewhere near Lacunosa Town, but I could be mistaken" The Legendary looked at me in surprise, probably from the amount of information I know about the locations of their other parts, before shrugging and saying.
"I won't know, you guesses are probably better than mine. I haven't really talked to other part of me in a long time, almost since we split and fought before coming to a reconciliation. After that we just haven't crossed paths before, as for the remains of both of us, I haven't even seen them since I came into existence. The only reason I know about it is from rumor" I guess that makes sense, I mean they would have no real reason to stay in touch.
"Where are we heading after this 'vacation' as I've heard you call it" it was their question so I guess it's a fair question, though I'm kind of surprised that I haven't actually told them yet to be honest, it seems like one of those things I would have said already. Oh well, not like it's a hard problem to solve, so with that I opened my mouth and was about to spell out my most recent plans for after I and the rest where done relaxing here, when of course, life decided I had to much of a break.
"There he is! Lord N I found him!" I heard it but it took a second before I really understood what I had just heard, dropping my head back I sighed as I ignored the look Zekrom was giving me as I stood up and looked to see who said that. Scanning around for a moment I found a guy in a knight outfit off to the side with a hand up to his ear, so probably an earpiece, great.
"I don't suppose you could just leave me alone? Really I'm just trying to have a vacation, and I really don't want to guys to mess that up" That's when I heard the faint beats of a helicopter in the distance, as the guy in front of me smirked before declaring.
"Well, to bad, you stole form us so it's only right that we get even! Once Lord N arrives and liberates Zekrom from your unworthy hands then you'll realize the error of your ways!" This is something I don't get about people, I mean why tell me that, one wouldn't think monologuing is as much of a problem as people think it is. I don't really mind it, it stops me from having to guess what's happening but it also makes me question the average human intelligence of this world.
"Alright, how are you planning on doing that?" He's sudden and kind of idiotic sounding laugh cut off as he looked at me like I was the stupid one, which is honestly kind of insulting that he doesn't even realize that he is the idiot in this situation.
"I just told you! Lord N is about to arrive!" He says that like that means something, honestly I was kind of hoping that Team Plasma was going to leave me alone because they realized the same thing I thought about weeks ago. But apparently not. Honestly I just wasn't to relax, why do I have to deal with stupid people on my vacation? Whatever, if I'm lucky the Ghetsis will show up and I can solve a headache before it becomes a problem in the future.
"And? What's he going to do when he gets here? I don't mean to sound condescending, but does this 'Lord' of yours have a team of Pokemon all stronger than a Champions?" He looked at me like I just spat on his mothers grave, I wonder if I did that would he leave me alone or would he just some how turn it into another thing his fanatical mind could turn into a 'Human's hate Pokemon so they have to be liberated' thing.
"He'll liberate your Pokemon! That's what!" I am now considering the option of just knocking this guy out and wait until the helicopter lands so I don't have to listen to this anymore. Whatever, I'll probably just get yelled at by even more fanatics about punching someone, still, if this does turn into a battle then I would rather have some of my proper team nearby, not to discount Zekrom, but we've never really battled on the same side before.
"Hey would you mind finding some of the others? At least make sure Riolu and Servine are safe, I don't want them caught up in this if a battle breaks out. I doubt if one does happen it'll be all that bad but I would rather not risk it to be honest" They nodded before talking off into the sky, probably to try and get my two Flying types attention to help them out in finding the rest.
"See! That's what I mean! You use those Pokemon to your own end!" I looked back at the grunt while wondering if he would shut up if I continued to ignore him, or if that would only make him sound more stupid as he yells my ear off for the next couple minutes. After a couple seconds of thinking about it, I decided that I might as well try and break something in his brain before the rest of his group arrives, I wonder how much logic and common sense that would take.
"Ok, first off, I asked them if they would mind, they didn't hence the fact that they went and did what I politely asked them to do. Second, the only reason I'm having Zekrom go off and find the rest of my team is because you people showed up and I want to make sure that they are all accounted for encase one of you does something stupid" I don't even think he was listening to my words at the moment, instead he just said.
"You're still confining them into pokeballs! You and most of the rest of the human race forces these beings of nature to do what we want! Can't you see how messed up and twisted that is!" I feel like this has some how turned into some kind of recruitment speech.
"Ok then, once more, first off, literally not one of my Pokemon are in their pokeballs at the moment, which is the whole reason why I asked Zekrom to go find them. Second, humans are also being of nature, so that argument is kind of invalid. Third off, most Pokemon don't actually mind, it's called a partner ship, one side gets something while the other gets something else. Most Pokemon and humans work on that system, it's not like humans are avidly doing stuff to harm Pokemon" Alright I saw the flaw in my words a little to late as the guy in front of me exclaimed with joy.
"What do you think Pokemon Battling is!" I'm not prefect at retorts and I do make mistakes sometimes, but even with my slip up this guy doesn't really have the correct mindset for a debate, he trails off like he's made his point when he should be continuing on making sure that I understand what he's talking about, instead he just leaves it up to me to fill in the blanks.
"Pokemon battling is something that Pokemon themselves actually started, it;s a way to help Pokemon let out energy in a creative an none highly destructive way that leads to no major injuries. It also helps Pokemon get stronger which is one of the main drives that most Pokemon have, which is why battling has become such a big thing to begin with" I was right, it seems that logic is beginning to make him shut down, it was kind of entertaining but sadly that's when the helicopter landed down on the ground.
Hey another cliffhanger, yeah, I didn't forget about Team Plasma, it's just that they aren't really that big of a deal, and not to mention the Team has had to track down Kyu and this is really one of the only times he's stayed anywhere for over a week. So they finally caught up to him, and he still just wants to enjoy is break, while having to deal with an idiot while the leaders arrived. Anyway, See ya.
