It was a busy day in the city, Reece was out doing some errands with his favorite partner, a shiny shedinja. Apparently some kid broke in and took one of the samples a few days ago so Professor Oak asked Reece for help.
Reece's pokemon were taking a break at apartment he rented for them to stay. A spacious place, considering how big they were.
Their trainer tends to let them out of the apartment in their free time most days, believing that it would make them more comfortable and confident, specially around humans.
Surprisingly and unique to their kind, his treatment did not only made them more comfortable, but also made them learn to speak human language. To Reece, it was a shocking consequence, but a welcome one.
On the other hand, they got lazier and tend to be more lax, yet the bond with their trainer strengthened, they would rather spend time with him than other pokemon. They were like one big family. Ever since they were little he took care of them as they evolved and grew up. It was a no brainer for them to think of Reece as their Father.
Reece's first pokemon was a treecko, he thought it would be funny to call him Yoshi since he looked like one. He was incredibly sassy, especially when fighting. He always comes up with weird puns, constantly trying to annoy his foes with remarks.
He grew to become a grovyle, getting more cautious with his leaf blades because he amputated a couple of pokemon with it, oh, and also other trainers. Reece tended to that problem thoufh, providing an apparatus that can help him control it properly.
When he evolved to a Sceptile, Reece was ecstatic, giving him a dapler hat that he wanted when he was a little Treecko. Sceptile became arrogant and smug, but fortunately not to his trainer. He still teases him for his belongings, he is still fiercely loyal. Always prepared in case his trainer is in danger.
Reece's next pokemon was a shy Froakie, a lot different from the others that Reece encountered. The froakie was timid when it first saw Reece, hinting an existance of trauma. It initially quickly ran away from him.
Reece tried to lure it so he can be comfortable with him. On a closer look at the froakie he noticed that it had a scar on its leg and was missing an arm. It was clearly abused when it was young, and so he probably ran away.
Thus, Reece was worried sick for the scarred Pokemon. So he took him by carrying rather than capturing it with a poké ball. It squirmed around, nervous, thinking it would be hurt again.
By that time, Sceptile already knew how to talk, learning and absorbing the human language ever since he was taken away by Reece as a Treecko. He eventually gave himself a name, Pax.
Pax saw the badly disfigured Froakie, concerned and so took it upon himself to take care for it in his trainer's absence. Reece was often busy with college since he stopped being a trainer to pursue Astronomy and Physics.
Froakie grew up really healthy amidst his disabilities. He pushed through his boundaries with the help of Pax, and before then he became a really good Greninja when he evolved. Unfortunately, he became reserved and at times distant to others, most likely due to his past. But he still finds time and enjoyment being with his trainer and Pax.
Pax taught Greninja how to speak. At first, he had difficulty due to his tongue being wrapped around his neck most of the time. Eventually, he catches up because of Pax, able to fluently speak to him and his trainer.
Pax, with the amazing original idea for self-naming, asked Greninja what name does he want. The Greninja thought to himself himself for awhile but decided that he wanted to be called Azure.
More often than not, Azure tries to wear Reece's glasses when he is not around, even though it doesn't fit well. When Reece catches him wearing it one time, he thought that it would be good to give him a pair of glasses for his birthday. And that birthday, he received those glasses. It hangs low to his nose, like an elderly's reading glasses. Reece also gave him his own scarf so he doesn't have to use his tongue to wrap around his neck, he knitted it with Pax in their free time since he wanted to make Azure feel special and loved. A wave of emotions bombarded Azure, rendering him unstable. He almost flooded their home until Pax calmed him doms.
Azure is slighly shorter than Pax but was slimmer. Even though he was missing an arm and his left leg was slightly disfigured, he is still able go perform well, especially after becoming an ash-greninja as well. He proved that despite the challenges, one can perserve to the end and reach their goals.
The next pokemon fated to join the team was a Rockruff. Reece always wanted a rockruff back when he was a child, so when he had the opportunity to travel to the Alolan, he took it, bringing along Azure and Pax, who excited and eager to accompany their trainer on his journey. Hoping to find another addition to their happy family.
When they arrived at the airport, they made quite the commotion. The receptionist at the desk was disturbed and utterfly terrified when Azure and Pax was talking to Reece while he was asking about the details of their flight. To the unlucky girl, she was just a scare away from fainting. By the time Reece was finished talking to his pokemon, people started crowding around him, staring at them agaped and in awe with two bipedal pokemons who were very much huma-like. Much to the confusion of Azure and Pax, they looked back and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Before the crowd dispursed, scurrying away. Thus they were able to have a safe flight to Alola.
Reece bought three tickets for him, Azure, and Pax since he didn't like the idea of them staying in their poke balls and would rather let them enjoy being inside the airplane. Reece told them not to make a scene or a fus inside the plane, especially with Pax's leaf blades, noting that "Last time, you almost decapitated someone with it and I had to profusesly apologized to the old man" Pax went along amused yet bewildered.
Pax, unsurprisingly, also has a knack for women. He almost always flirts at them with or without consent. It may be weird but he doesn't mind at all. It what shows from his personality. Sometimes though it gets out of hand, so Azure had to intervene by slap him across the cheeks to get him out of the flirt trance.
Once in the airplane, they were seated right next to a young beautiful lady. Which, unfortunately, sparked Pax's interest. With a knack for females, he started to openly flirt with her, much to her dislike.
"Hey Gorgeous~ want to know how I can plant with my seed?" Pax smirked, the young lady looked at him in disbelief, then later with the expression of uneasiness.
"What the are you talking about? Wait... How the fuck are you talking to me?!"
Azure tried to calm the situation by verbally scolding Pax. It only made things worse though, as the lady grew more tense. "H-How are you two talking like people? What the hell is happening?! T-this is only just a fever dream right? Oh geez, I really need to stop taking two sleeping pills at once."
Azure let out a muffled cough, "We're real Ma'am, you're not dreaming, but we assure you we, or at least I, don't mean any harm. so please don't panic."
"Yeah, like homie there just doesn't like being the bad cop for once ye? Now, wanna take it out and join the mile high club hmm?" Pax said, grinning with a wink as he raised his brow suggestively. A situation worth facepalming to which Azure does so. Amidst the commotion, Reece was completely oblivious at that time.
