AN: Hey, just realized that T might not actually be enough for some chapters for , even though they would be to me. It isn't like there'll be any actual lemons or gore, but regardless, I'm popping this bad boy over to M. If you can handle the mention of the word sex, you can probably handle this, but I don't wanna get banned. Also, sorry, folks for another shorter chapter. Next one will be longer. Anywhooooo… Still 3,000 words, so it'll do. Next chapter will be around 6,000 words if I'm thinking correctly. Happy reading!
The next morning, with all his pokemon fully rested, Dust began planning his journey out of Pewter toward Cerulean City. Ash, Dust remembered, took ten days to make it to Vermillion from Cerulean, but how long it took Ash to make it to Cerulean was left unstated. Before he left, though, Dust remembered he had some calls to make. Going to the video phones, he first dialed up his house. His parents were extremely concerned as he hadn't called since he left. Seeing the boulder badge, his mom was outraged that he hadn't called them when he was in Viridian or when he got to Pewter, but when his dad told her that that was the badge from beating a gym leader, she was both shocked and proud and turned into a blubbering mess. Soon after, Dust hung up, promising to call when he got to Cerulean City. Next, he called Professor Oak. He knew there had to be some sort of running gag when the back of Oak's head was turned to the screen. The call proceeded smoothly as the old professor listened to Dust's story of carrying Ash and training Eevee. Both were thrilled with Eevee's progress, and Oak's eyebrows caterpillar their way upwards when Oak heard that Eevee already knew mud slap and quick attack, but when Dust told him that Eevee and himself somehow got lost in the Poke Wilds, Oak shivered.
"I've only been out there a few times. My Arcanine lost a paw and my Dragonite a wing. How are you even alive?" Now it was Dust's turn to shiver. Some of the stronger final evolutions were protected information, including the evolution method of Magneton, Growlithe, Scyther, and many other pokemon, especially if their "base stats" as Dust would call them, were 480 or higher, and for good reason. Scizor and Weavile were even known to be able to dismember others before the offended party saw them move.
"Well, professor, funny thing about that." Dust held up the egg as Oak nearly had a seizure seeing it. "I ran into a Volcarona fighting a Pinsir and Heracross near a marsh and a cave and they all died, so I went into the Volcarona's den, the cave, and got this egg." Oak...passed out. Dust hung up and called back to wake Oak up. "Ahem, Professor?"
"Ah, yes, now are you certain that that is what happened?" A Volcarona in Kanto? And you survived watching it fight?" Oak turned off grandfather mode and turned on researcher mode.
"Well, Professor, actually, I hid right on top of where its egg could have been, though I didn't know it at the time, so it didn't use blast burn where I was standing, and I survived." The professor, hearing that a Volcarona used blast burn…passed out again.
"Uh, professor." The professor mode was off and the weary old man mode was on. "I got it's egg, but I don't think it's a Volcarona egg. It's purple and all. Anyway, I hid from the Beedrill, caught a pretty strong Krabby on the way here, won the boulder badge from Flint, and finally called you and my parents, so now I'm gonna try and catch up with Ash."
The professor nodded. "Well, you'll be hard pressed to do so. He's already on the way to Vermillion." Dust frowned but nodded, as the two said their goodbyes.
"Hear that, Eevee? We have to make like the wind to Cerulean. Should be an easy win even if we only use Krabby from what I hear." Suddenly, the teleporter next to the phone lit up and a black device with a note on it appeared. It read: "I don't want you getting lost out there again, so I whipped up a map to add to your pokedex. It will tell you your location at all times. Now, good luck, talk to you when you get to Vermillion." After nervously chuckling due to Oak's unbelievable genius, even able to create a pokemon expansion in around 45 seconds, The two set off toward Cerulean City.
After only two days of extremely rushed traveling, almost nonstop running, the two made it, walking around Mount Moon. They didn't run into any trouble, or even pokemon as they stuck to the premarked route. During the two hour morning and night trainings, Krabby worked on perfecting mud shot, while Dust was trying to teach Eevee the principles of sunny day and rain dance, though it would be a but before she could use them, the theoretical knowledge was coming well. She was inspired by seeing the raw ability of the Poke Wilds battle to change terrain and she wanted the ability to do it too. Because of the enormous blast burn, she wanted to become a Flareon. Dust wasn't quite sure that was a bright idea. Fire was weak in all but one gym and Flareon was pretty mainstream as far as eeveelutions went, especially in this universe, but Eevee was too young to finalize the decision regardless, so Dust didn't say anything. It was during that conversation that he realized he could somewhat understand Eevee when she had very strong intent. The same was true of Krabby. When Dust picked up the key stone to inspect it, Krabby's "voice" told him to put it down. That also led to an interesting conversation. When Dust explained what it was, Krabby allowed him to keep it under the conditions that Dust would find a way to make him go beyond the Kingler limiter, whatever that meant. As far as Dust knew, Kinglerite was not a thing, but he was sure he would find something to do.
After resting in the pokemon center for around three hours, he went with Krabby and Eevee to Cerulean. There was no receptionist or schedule, so he strolled in. Daisy and Violet were on a couch next to each other in barely strapped bikinis talking when they heard the sound of the door opening, then Daisy started talking without turning around. "OMG, Lily, you're finally awake. You must have had, like, so much fun last night with that James guy that came through town. I saw him going by, he was like, totally your boy toy!" Dust, now a shade of violet from trying not to laugh, coughed lightly, but neither seemed to notice it and Violet picked up where Daisy left off. "Yeah. I could hear you guys for hours. I've never heard a guy with that accent moan before! Hell, I've never heard any guy that happy from having his hair grabbed!" Dust then lost it and the two wheeled around, both bikinis falling off as they did. They just barely caught them in time, but Dust could easily see anything he wanted. He very quickly went from laughing his ass off to grunting in effort to not demonstrate his present libido in seconds. Daisy was the first to regain her bearings after around ten seconds of the three staring at each other. "Shit, I keep forgetting we're gym leaders. After those four from Pallet, we didn't expect anybody for a while. Sorry about that!" She lost her valley girl accent in her nervousness, but Dust just smiled wryly.
"Well, I'm not sure what you're apologizing for. I just got a better look for free than all your horny fanboys ever have at your water shows!" He spoke the truth as the duo was very attractive, around 12 years old. Especially so to him as he preferred girls without any makeup, and since they didn't have a show, they were au naturel. Daisy smirked as she scooted to the edge of the couch and leaned down, making her rather large cleavage very visible to Dust, though Violet just leaned back, tied her bikini back on, and shook her head.
"Well, well. We have a smart one, do we? Maybe you'd like an even better show for free tonight? It would be a shame if I forgot to lock my bedroom door at the end of the next hallway to the right, wouldn't it? I wonder, just who might take advantage of that?" Dust didn't react even slightly, making Daisy pout. Then, she stood up, pulled two pokeballs out of her now somehow retied bikini, and started walking off to the gym. "Well, come on. You wanted a gym battle? You'll get one. Two on two. You go first."
Dust had realized something very interesting since arriving in the pokemon world. Everyone seemed to look way older than they were. Well, that would be because there were twenty months per year in the pokemon world. Trainers started their journeys when they were 16 and a half or so in Earth years, not 10. Dust, specifically, turned 17 in Earth years a few weeks before, and Daisy would be about 20, even though it would be months before he turned 11 in Pokemon world years, or she turned 13. Therefore he was able to justify his plans for the night.
Walking up to the stage, Dust unclipped both pokeballs from his belt, then released Eevee onto one of the platforms in the middle of the water. Daisy let out a Seel, then the battle began. The plan premade by Dust went remarkably well and Eevee kept using mud slap with the dirt and grass attop some of the platforms and soon the water was murky and gave very little visibility. Daisy realized too late that Eevee wasn't actually aiming for Seel, but aiming to keep Seel from seeing. Though granted, Eevee did hit twice and dodged the barrage of aurora beams that came her way. Recalling Eevee, he sent out Krabby. Though Daisy was unimpressed at the use of a water pokemon in a pokemon gym, Seel was forced to surface to see. It came up facing the wrong way, and despite Daisy's cry, it was slammed in the back of the head with a knock off and it fell back underwater, surfacing with its eyes closed on its back.
Daisy returned it and released a Lapras. Dusts's eyes bugged out of his head at one of the strongest pokemon from the first generation, but he assumed it was probably weaker since Cerulean was a lower level gym. Eevee was fairly exhausted from the barrage of mud slaps, so he left Krabby in. Krabby should have already known metal claw at that point, but for whatever reason, he didn't. Dust raised his arm and called to Krabby. "Give it a wallop with knock off Rocks!" The platforms flew up out of the water as Krabby gave a massive slam with both pincers colored black. Then, Krabby used a strong water gun on each to send them flying at Lapras. Daisy answered properly this time despite her shock, and Lapras puffed up and let out a stream of extremely cold air. Freeze Dry did its job as the rocks were pushed away and Krabby was hit with the super effective move. Its main body was encased in ice, Krabby slammed into the wall of the pool and chunks of ice fell off, giving Dust an idea. "Krabby, use knock off on yourself!" 'That really is an overpowered move, even if it only works this way when used by pokemon with a really high base attack…'
The ice crumbled away even as Krabby nearly succumbed to his high accumulated damage from one strong dark attack and one super effective ice type move. Regardless he stood back up and started clicking very loudly as his eyes flashed a bright gold. All of the platforms rose into the air and some golden spheres beggan growing among them. The gold on Krabby's eyes was streaming up and around his body as he leapt into the air, crossing both pincers in front of his body, the golden sheen shattered as the spheres grew and a shimmering blue outline covered the platforms. Daisy already recalled Lapras, but Krabby was still going, until finally, still suspended in the air, Krabby released a strong pressure and pushed both claws to his sides. The platforms began railing into the water one by one and causing splashes that reached halfway to the roof. After all 16 platforms and spheres hit the water, they exploded, causing waves to slam into each side of the pool. Finally, Krabby fell, exhausted, into the water. Dust recalled him and told him just how proud he was of the astounding power behind the nearly 2 foot tall crab, then put the pokeball away.
Naturally, Dust knew what was going on. Ancient power was indeed an egg move of the Krabby species, each Krabby having differing amounts of talent for the move. Some could learn with years of training, others straight out from the egg. Egg moves worked like that for all pokemon, though usually how long they took to learn differed. Eevee was a genius to learn mud slap from the womb, for example. However, ancient power is definitely not that strong of a move normally. The astounding force of that ancient power proved two things, though. First, Krabby definitely had IVs and EVs in its special attack. Also, it was just Dust's assumption, but he believed Krabby had a rash nature. It would explain why he only thought for a little bit before deciding to join Eevee and Dust. Second, it proved Krabby had the sheer force ability. The power of the move was amplified by the fact that all six stat increases that would have come from ancient power went toward one blast. This fact was specifically seen when Krabby's golden energy cloak went into the platforms and spheres. (Yes, I know Sheer Force makes it so that the move's power is increased by 30%, but I have a reason for making that number 180% for ancient power. Also, nobody give me the whole tirade about making Krabby too OP. Pikachu blasted an ENTIRE FLOCK of spearow straight to hell in episode one by using just one thundershock amplified by a storm. I know somebody would say it.)
Daisy walked over to Dust, fished out a cascade badge, and shook her head. "You know, I've never had a trainer come in here and use ancient power of all things against my pokemon. This is usually a trainer's first, second, or third gym, for crying out loud. *Sigh* Whatever. You're not bad at all. In battles or looks, you know." Saying so, she reached out and slapped Dust's ass, then winked and walked away, swinging her hips.
After another call to his parents and a minor operation on Krabby, who strained his muscles pushing ancient power, later, he went back to the gym, and true to her word, Daisy was waiting in her room, door unlocked. The next morning he splurged a bit and bought a quadruple burger to...celebrate. After eating it, he began taking a slightly indirect path toward Celadon, where he planned to sail to Fuschia after fighting the gym. He would come back for Surge for his seventh gym later. Surge was known to have a brutal 4v4 for his 6th and 7th badge challengers. Dust was also not planning to go to Cinnabar or Saffron, and instead go to Triveldia City, a port town on a large peninsula east of Route 12 to fight the fighting type gym there and the bug type gym in Devigo Island on the way to Fuchsia, Regardless, Dust needed a fire type, so he made his way first to Route 24. He seemed to make it just in time to watch Damian put the Charmander on top of the rock. After Damian turned around, he spoke just loudly enough for Dust to hear him. "Idiot weakling." That was a mistake, as Dust had recorded the entire scenario. With the device still recording in his back pocket, he walked up behind Damian.
"What was that all about with the Charmander?" Damian motioned away from the charmander, and Dust followed. After around two minutes of walking, Damian couldn't take it anymore. He doubled over laughing and turned to Dust.
"The stupid thing wouldn't leave me alone and it keeps following me even though it's weak! I told it to stay there and that I'd come back for it. IT ACTUALLY LISTENED! HAHAHAHA!"
Dust frowned as he nodded. "I thought that might be the case. Pokemon abandonment is a serious crime, so I started videoing the second I saw the whole mess happening." Dust turned off the video as Damian paled. Dust continued without missing a beat. "Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Give me the Charmander, and I'll delete the video. Or don't give me the Charmander and I'll report you, then you'll lose your trainer's license and I'll ask to take care of the Charmander. Which will it be?"
Damian swallowed and shivered as he turned away and smirked a bit, although thinking he was getting a good deal. The two returned to Charmander and Damian started to talk down to it and tell it how worthless it is, but Dust pushed him to the ground and comforted the now crying salamander. It agreed to go with Dust, but was regardless, both depressed and angry at getting tricked into sitting on the rock, no matter for how short an amount of time. Dust deleted the audio, smiled evilly, and spat on the ground next to Damian. "Get out of here."
Damian ran as Dust released Eevee, who used mud slap to put a brown stain right on Damian's white basketball shorts over his ass crack. Charmander, Eevee, and Dust all cracked up, even more so when Damian looked back quizzically, not understanding what was going on. Charmander regretfully accepted the new pokeball and tapped the front, allowing itself to be caught. The group then continued onward, looping over a bridge to go back around. Little were they anticipating the adventure that was to come.
