Pokemon: Grey
Legend:
"Pokemon" – Speech
'Pokemon' – Thoughts
'Pokemon' – Telepathic Speech
I do not own Pokemon nor any of its characters, I own only the OC's shown in this fanfiction.
Opening my eyes after being moved into a new world was slightly more jarring than I thought it would be.
Some part of me found it strange waking up in a bed that was not the one I woke up in less than 12 hours ago. At least from my perspective.
For all I know it could have been a whole day since I was moved into this world.
Letting out a breath of air, I looked around the room I was in.
The room was simple. A bed, a window, bedside table and a small desk and chair tucked into the side of the room.
Getting out of the bed and moving towards the desk showed that it had papers covering the entire desk from top to bottom.
The papers each contained different Pokemon team compositions on it. The most recent looking one showed a Serperior, Audino, Gothitelle, Golurk, Chandelure and a Scolipede, the team composition seemed familiar to me, as though I had used it before.
It reminded me of my original team composition from when I finished Pokemon Black for the first time… No, scratch that. It didn't remind me of the old team I used. It's the exact same composition. Does this mean Gaia is giving me a preplanned team?
'Either way, I already wanted this team composition so how it got written here is of little concern' I thought to myself as I opened the only door in the room.
Considering that I had awoken already dressed, it's likely that I was either transported into the world pre-dressed or I flat out took control of someone else's body and they simply went to sleep without changing clothes.
Considering that the clothes looked brand new with no signs of wear, the most likely scenario is that I was just pushed into this world.
Which brings up a different problem.
If I was just pushed into this world, then is anyone even aware of my existence in this world? For instance, do I need to come up with some excuse? That I just moved in overnight? Would anyone even believe that? Or are people aware of my existence and I was just put into a time which seemed good?
'Now's not that time for those kinds of thoughts' I need learn about the area. 'I should first try to figure out the part of town that I am in'
Odds are that Nuvema town is probably larger than it was shown to be in the original Black and White games. If it is in fact just a town of 4 buildings, then how would they get food? Is teleported to them or do they have to walk through the routes to supply themselves?
Moving through what seemed to be the living room and then stepping out the front door of the house showed me that Nuvema town, is… Made up entirely of 4 buildings.
How the hell was a town this small not taken over by something like Team Plasma? Does this mean that all the towns showed in the main series Pokemon games are tiny?
"Hey! Calem!" A voice shouted out to me, from across the path. "Over here!"
Turning to the voice showed it to be Rosa, lightly jogging towards me.
"Good morning…" I said as she got close enough for us to not need to shout. "… Why are you jogging this early?"
I don't know how, but some reason the words just came out as I wondered how I should act.
I got my answer as to why the words spilled out of my mouth as memories started pouring into me. Showing me all my past interactions with Rosa up until today.
"You normally jog around twelve, not 8 in the morning" I told her, now knowing that Rosa is meant to be my childhood friend. "Or did I sleep in?"
Yeah… Rosa always does a few laps around town at 12 in the afternoon, takes a short nap and then does whatever she wants until she needs eat dinner with her parents.
"You slept in" Rosa told me, slowing to a stop next to me.
I… Never checked the time. So, it is more than possible that it was the afternoon and not early in the morning like I assumed it was.
"So, what starter will you be choosing?" Rosa asked me, though she likely already knew what starter I would be choosing. She'd asked me this same question at least a hundred times by now. If not more.
"You should already know what I'm going to say so I think I will wait until tomorrow" I told her, "Though you should probably get going, you haven't eaten lunch yet have you?"
She merely grinned sheepishly before her stomach grumbled, causing her to blush slightly.
"Yeah, you should probably grab something to eat" I told her, trying to get her away from me. As now was normally around the time that I would start wanting to kill her. "Probably before your stomach eats it's self"
All the memoires might be new, and I may not have experienced what the memories showed me, but all the emotions the memories brought… those emotions are real.
I don't want to kill her.
I don't want to kill the only friend I have in this world.
"I could go home but your house is right here, so why not just have lunch at your place?" Rosa asked me, completely undoing my effort to get her away. "Besides, we haven't eaten together in ages!"
I want to say no to. I should say no to her. But… I can't say no to her. Besides what reason would I have for her not being able to eat lunch at my house?
The place is messy? No, it's completely clean, not even a speck of dirt or dust, and I already know that I would have better luck robbing a bank than trying to lie to her.
I can't get her to leave so the only real option is to let her in and make a small lunch while maintaining as much distance as possible.
"Alright, fine, I'll cook something small for us to eat but then I have some things I need to take care of" I responded to her while opening the door. "Now what do you prefer? Some sandwiches or maybe a Miltank burger?"
Something is wrong.
Something is very, very wrong with me.
I've been around Rosa for almost 20 minutes now. Every single one of my instincts should be screaming at me to kill her by now.
Yet I have no such feeling.
Is this a result of Gaia? Did the god like entity change me somehow? Possibly removed my killing instinct?
How am I even meant to test if that's the case? I've had instances before where I haven't had my instincts screaming at me to kill someone, but those instances were unique to people from my direct family. Blood relatives, such as my mother and father.
Except that Rosa is not a relative of mine. Nothing in my memories of this world suggest that we have any ties beyond being close friends
So why the hell do I not want to kill her? I had two childhood friends in my last life, Enehta and Simmon, and they still triggered my killer instincts.
Well, they both did until Enehta (pronounced e-neh-ta) and I participated in… Something. That part of my life has always been a blur. Only thing I remember afterwards was Simmon being dead and Enehta and I being traumatized to the point that our minds repressed the memories.
The only good that came from the procedure was that Enehta stopped triggering my killer instincts.
Rosa hasn't gone through the same procedure and I doubt that the procedure even exists in this world, let alone is doable with the reliance on Pokemon.
That's another thing. Technology is weird here. On one hand the technology here is extremely advance in some areas due to the involvement of Pokemon, but on the other hand things such as space travel and medicine are almost nonexistent due to the involvement of Pokemon.
Either way though. The fact remains that for whatever reason Rosa don't cause my instincts to direct me to kill her.
That leads only 2 possible reasons.
One, my killer instincts were removed by Gaia. Or two, she has aura, and that her aura is somehow negating my killer instincts.
"Hey, have you decided on what Pokemon you are going to be catching first Calem?" Rosa asked suddenly. "After your starter I mean"
Slightly surprised by the sudden question I almost dropped the fork I was using to eat the small lunch I had made.
"Yeah, I have, but I think I will keep it as a surprise for now, plus I don't even know what order I will be catching my Pokemon in so no real point in telling you" I explained to her.
I want to keep my choice of Pokemon secret for now, after all I have no idea if I might end up with a different Pokemon on my team somehow.
That's not to say that I won't be catching other Pokemon. After all some foods and recourses can only come from Pokemon, so if I started a Pokemon farm I could make a very good source of income.
For example, in the world of Pokemon, honey of all things is quite expensive. This is due to the fact that only two Pokemon actually produce edible honey. Those two Pokemon being Beedrill and Combee.
Combee honey is fairly simple to farm and harvest but is of low quality. That and maintaining a Combee farm is rather difficult due to requiring a Vespiquen in order for the hive to function.
Beedrill on the other hand produce extremely high-quality honey that is good for both eating and for using as bait. The only problem being that in order to make a large enough farm so that you can have a stable income you need almost 20 Beedrill to have a consistent amount of honey to make a viable income out of it. Unfortunately, Beedrill are extremely violent towards almost everything, making setting up a farm of the bee like Pokemon extremely difficult.
I learned all of this from my memories of this world, turns out the 'Me' from before I took control of this body like to research the different uses of Pokemon. How much they can sell for, the kind of food or minerals they produce. I learned all of this.
'Wonder I was learning to become a Pokemon seller' I thought to my self as I remembered how I had come to learn all this valuable information. 'Wouldn't be that bad, I could just buy or catch unevolved Pokemon then have them evolve before selling them for a profit.
Shaking my head, I placed a smile on my face and tried to soften my eyes to some degree of success. My face is normally pretty dull in a manner of speaking, no emotion of any kind can be found on my face normally. I have to force everything. It never comes naturally.
Simmon once pointed that out when we were eating lunch at school with Enehta, since then I have always tried to be capable of changing my facial expressions at will.
"While this has been a good lunch, I have to finish packing my gear for tomorrow" I told Rosa as I started to get off my seat. "I don't want to have to rush out of home early in the morning because I forgot something after all"
Rosa pouted in a somewhat cute way after being told she would have to leave but left none the less.
As soon as she closed the door upon saying goodbye the smile, I had forced onto my face vanished, and my eyes became dull and lifeless like always.
'I can't waste time like that again. That took up far too much time than I would have liked.' I thought to my self as I walked back to my room and turned to look at the desk once more. 'I still need to find out everything I can about this world.'
Authors note.
Heya, sorry it's a little late but here it is! Chapter 2 and chapter 3 will be out in a month.
Sorry if it's a little small for a month's work but I don't have as much time to write as I would like to have (School is a bitch and nothing can change my mind) but I hope yall like it though.
In this chapter we learned that Pokemon are used for kinds of things! Not just battling but also farming and with developing technology! Along with the fact that Rosa doesn't trigger our MC's killer instincts! I would where this could lead?
We also learned about Enehta and Simmon (Sorry if Enehta's name is kinda weird and difficult to pronounce but I came up with it on the spot and liked it so its staying), these two are going to brought up quite a lot, especially Enehta, as we learn more about our MC's backstory. (Sorry if they feel like they were just shoved in, I didn't really know were else I could introduce them and I found that they seemed to fit into where I put them kinda well, let me know you guys think)
Anyway, see you in a month and if you want to ask me a question just leave a review and I will try to answer your question! :)
Dragoonir!
