Author's note: I'm sorry it took a while to update, I have been contemplating on continuing this story or not. It's already done its job as a proof of concept and my confidence is in the all-time down, I'm really not cut out to be a writer. I'm still continuing for now, but, if I did eventually quit I'll at the very least going to write the ending and summarize the unwritten chapters.

Thanks for the reviews and the feedback, I really appreciate them, I wanted to address them for a bit.

Yeah, it's a kind of dumb story, and I'm sorry you have to read it. But, the potential of the story's settings is way too good to pass up, as bad as my story goes I hope it at least managed to sparks some writers to write a better story than mine.

I understand, his inner monolog is annoying and pace breaking, I read a lot of novels with a similar protagonist and I really enjoyed their somewhat 4th wall breaks rambles but, I'm just too inexperienced to implement it in better ways. I also like lame puns and jokes so, it's probably that too. I'll try to improve upon it thank you for the feedback.

As for Hilda yeah, I think I get it, she is kind of a Mary Sue, I want to portrait her as a more of an older sister teasing their younger siblings but, I failed to do it, I'm sorry for giving you a bad experience. I'll try my best to fix it.

She's reckless, and always has things going her way but, that's just how kids are, I wanted her in the future to fail and learn that her mistake could not only hurt her but, also lead to other people's suffering. She will be unsure about what to do but, with her friends helping her she can finally find the answer. I want to write those kinds of feel-good stories but, realistically I'm probably won't able to do that.

Thank you for giving it a chance and, I'm really sorry if it's not up to your standard.

Also thank you for the review, 6/10? Well, it's more than I expect, I personally aiming at 5/10. With my current skill, it's impossible to aim higher than that sadly but, I hope you enjoy my terrible writing regardless.

As for the beta reader version, I only have until chapter 5, Coffeefields101 stop giving me the other chapters since May. We agree to upload it in one fell swoop when they beta read all of the current chapters first so, I can't upload them just yet.

I wanted to ask him/her what's with the hold-up but, I'm extremely uncomfortable about it, he/she did do this for free so, I'm really not comfortable on asking about it, I don't want to bother him/her if I can help it.

A-CHOOO!

sniffle

Ughh I feel sick ... Is it just me, or the weather is getting colder? Or someone is talking about me behind my back again.

The three of us Pokémons just sitting around the Pokémon center lounge while Hilda took care of the paperwork with the nurses. I wasn't injured that badly but, I'm exhausted, I'm currently curled up on the sofa, trying to rest while keeping an eye on our surrounding if I'm not who will? My ragtag of a party is way too relaxed for their own good.

By the way, for some odd reason, I can feel our watery teammate's eyes kept glancing at me every now and then, while she's talking to Patty.

I decide to ignore it I have a lot thinking to do anyway, on a more important note I just evolved into a Servine or whatever Hilda called me, I want to say I feel stronger, or I feel a huge amount of power coursing through me, or I got a new Moves to use, but sadly that's not the case.

Nothing, zilch, nada, zip, nope nothing... I didn't feel any different.

I give a long sigh of frustration, on the TV show and games they over hype evolution way too much it seems. The only thing evolution gives me are, a slightly taller body, and a weird antenna-like appendage on my head, is it an ear? Who knows? I can move it somewhat, I can move my ears too when I was a human but, that's just a neat party trick than anything. So, what's the point of evolution then? Well, I can always count on the last evolution...

Though my memories are kind of blurry on what abomination that I'll turn into next... I don't know why but, I got a bad feeling about it for some odd reason.

My thoughts are cut short by a blue monkey walking towards me... She stared at me with an unreadable expression and I just sleepily started back at her. After a long pause, she finally said.

"I'm... Sorry?"

I blink a few times not sure hearing correctly on what she just said. I answer with a confused "Excuse me?"

"I said I was sorry, I feed you to the fishes and left you to your doom, and being generally cold to you."

Ooookay, I got, even more, confused now, I stared back at Patty at the back he gave me a thumbs up and a smile. Right... I guess he's patching our bumpy friendship. Though I really can't stand this awkward atmosphere that it brought.

After thinking for a few more seconds, I finally reply.

"I forgive you with one condition... Tell me why do you hate me so much, I don't think I ever did anything wrong to you? "

She gave me a slight cringe-inducing frown and began to scratch the back of her head.

"Umm,... That... Is kind of... I rather not say... I don't what to insult you."

I give her a metaphorical eyebrow raise. "Is it that bad? Well, I rather we are honest with each other we are going to work together from now on, better out than in I'll always say."

"You looked hideous."

...

...

...

An awkward silence envelops our surroundings.

Ughh, there goes my self-esteem. Maybe it's better in than out in this case.

Started at Patty again asking for confirmation, and he gave me a cringing face and looked away, I guess he's too polite for his own good.

"Aye, us water types don't really like grass type in the first place, and you're especially just creepy to look at in general, and besides you look like someone who got something shoved up your a--"

"That's true boss man!" Patty suddenly cuts in interrupting her sentence.

"I don't really have a good impression on my first day either, the tongue thing that you did didn't help. But, after spending time with you I know you don't act like you look, despite a tiny somewhat creepy looking face." He smiled brightly at me, though it doesn't help with the headache that starting to resurface.

"Your scaley face and your sinister eyes looked liked you look down on us." the water monkey chimed.

"Yeah, true the eye bags didn't help, also his expression is kind of bizarre," Patty added.

"Aye, remember when he kept staring to that jar, and suddenly started to laugh, he looked like he's higher than a crow's nest?"

They suddenly started to ignore me and started to happily converse with themselves.

"Yup, yup, remember how he kept doing that weird jumping dance while we are sleeping."

"And how he without warning tied up the miss, I almost sent him to the Davy Jones's locker until you stopped me."

"He also kept mumbling about strange things by himself."

"He kept staring at a wall."

"Also do you know that he..."

And they kept going on and on about how weird and creepy I am and nitpick every not so strange thing I do... It's not strange alright, most of them are me trying to read things and do a bit of training since I can't sleep...

Also, what the hells going on?

Is it insult Ivy day? Or something. I thought she come to apologize not to do... Well, whatever this is?

"Oiiii!" I half shout to get their attention and after they stopped talking I give another long sigh.

"This is straight-up bullying," I mumble to myself, and started to massage my aching head.

"Let's stop, you are forgiven, and I'm not sure what I can do to make you guys more comfortable since almost all of them involving how I looked, but if you want I could just stay on the Pokéball to make things less [creepy] for you."

I rather be alone anyway, I need to figure out how to read and communicating with Hilda better, let's face it charade isn't going to work in time-sensitive situations. Besides I shouldn't get attached to them I probably won't stay long after the game ends, I also should start planning how I'm going to going retire and lived in this world when this all over.

For a few seconds, the stared at me and look to each other silently conversing with each other. Patty smiled at her and she nodded and smiled back.

"Don't worry Captain I'm already used to you now, and like you said we need to work together so, it's better in the long run if we are truthful to each other, aye?" She finally gave me a friendly smile, with a hand reaching out for a shake.

Another weird nickname, I just hope Hilda's next Pokémon just called me by my name. Let's just ignore it, as usual, I have enough on my plate right now.

"Yeah, that's true I hope I can trust you all to protect Hilda when things get tough, she's kind of a ditz." I shake her hand with my vine.

With a beaming smile, she answers "Likewise I have a feeling that it's going be a bountiful journey."

With a warm atmosphere the conversation ends, they end up leaving me alone I guess they could tell how tired I was.

Now that we finally got a usable water type in the party things going to hopefully get easier...though I really should stop jinxing myself, at the very least I could rest when Hilda is done.

Suddenly I heard a voice female voice talking to Hilda. "Are you Hilda? I'm Fennel, professor Juniper asked me to give you something. Please follow me!"

Ugghh... why do I kept doing this to myself?... This is probably not going to a simple errand, isn't it? Goddammit, I really could use another cup of coffee right now.
