Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon
Chapter 13: przyszłości
Stretching, Fara stifled a yawn as she walked with Lt. Surge. They were on their way to the Pokemon Center. Surge was going to have Strike examined for any issues caused by the evolution. Fara, in the meantime, would be getting tested for Psychic Sensitivity. She inwardly grumbled about it. She was sick and tired of being poked and prodded by well meaning doctors. She kept her silence though. The Gym Leader had been oddly serious when explaining the condition and she didn't want to ignore a potential problem.
Looking at the man beside her Fara wondered. John had indicated Surge was a grumpy old man with a temper. She couldn't see it herself. While stern looking, he was gentle with his pokemon and kind to her. Transferring her gaze to their surroundings Fara smiled. Vermillion was larger then Viridian and busier. The sea port located at the harbor bustled with people coming to and fro. She could see one of the many cruise ships that visited in the distance.
The multitude of shops and cafes seemed to beckon. Fara was already planning how to spend some of the funds she got for the Thunder Stone. A throat clearing brought her attention back to Surge.
"So, I'm curious kid." He said
"About what?" she asked.
"Oak told me that you weren't a battler so I wondered what you planned on doing in the future."
Fara sighed. "I'm not sure. I'm not interested in Leagues or Contests. I started berry picking so that I could earn some money for traveling. But now that I have some funds in my savings I'm thinking about where to go. I want to see what's out there." She stated.
Surge looked at her for a moment before speaking again.
"What kind of things do you like to do?" He asked.
Fara contemplated the question. It was the first time that she could remember being asked that. After a few quiet minutes she replied.
"I like traveling and learning survival skills. I like reading to I guess."
"Hmm, did you like berry picking?" he asked.
"Well, I guess. It was fun learning about them and searching to find them." She replied.
Surge smiled. "Hey kid, have you ever heard about Scavenging?"
"Scavenging?" she asked.
"Guess you haven't huh. Well I'm not too surprised. It's something only people involved with the Poke Market would've heard about."
Surge walked in silence for another minute before stopping. Startled Fara almost ran into him because the abruptness. Surge was looking into a small store to his right. The bricked building had a sign that read 'Earl's Poke Item inquiries'. The Gym Leader gestured to the entrance.
"Let's go inside, I want you to meet someone." He stated
Curious, Fara followed him in. Instantly Fara felt the cool relief of air conditioning. The interior of the store was brightly lit with rows of oak shelving. The shelves had glass cases containing various items. Passing through their way threw one area towards the back; Fara could see everything from strange Poke balls to Fossils. Obviously this place wasn't a normal Poke Mart. Looking ahead to where Surge stopped she saw a heavy wood counter with an old fashioned cash register. The wall behind it was filled with flyers.
Fara came to the counter and waited while Surge pressed a bell. He did this so repeatedly until a scratchy voice yell from a back room.
"Hold your Rapidashes; I'll be out in a minute!"
Surge grinned and nodded his head towards the voice. "That's old Earl, he's been around forever."
"I should have known." sniped Earl's voice. Turning Fara was confronted with a giant of a man. He was close to seven feet tall and had a wild mane of silver hair. His black eyes glittered at Fara and Surge.
"What do you want Surge? I thought you didn't need a Thunder Stone anymore." griped the man.
Fara watched as he walked around them to stand behind the counter. His larger callused hands were wiping themselves off with the heavy duty apron the man wore.
"Are you still sore that I didn't wait on you and your crew?" Surge replied.
Earl frowned at Surge. "If I am what will you do? My James was just finishing negotiations when you canceled on us. I should kick you out just for that. The clans are assholes and you know it!" Earl stated.
Fara jumped at the volume and walked back a few steps. The movement caused Old Earl's gaze to shift. His stormy gaze softened suddenly.
"Now who is this little filly?" the man asked.
Surge grinned and patted Fara's shoulder. "This is the little Scavenger that beat you out on selling me a Thunder Stone." Surge proudly stated.
Fara's heart leapt to her throat. Why in the name of Arceus did Surge say that? The information was classified and Fara didn't want the large man in front of her to get pissed about selling to Surge before him. Her panicked gaze shifted to the Gym Leader who grinned at her. Suddenly Fara understood some of John's grumbling about sadists.
"This little filly got you a Thunder Stone before my James?" asked Old Earl.
Surge nodded at the man. "Oh yeah and fresh from the source to; you remember me telling you about a wild Raichu right?"
Earl leaned on the counter and frowned at Surge. "Yeah so. It's a Raichu." Stated Earl.
Surge shook his head at him. "It wasn't just a Raichu Earl. This kid was given a Thunder Stone from the Raichu. There's a reservoir in the Den." Stated Surge.
Earl stared at Surge then looked at Fara. "He telling the truth sweet thing?" he asked.
Shaking a bit Fara nodded and spoke. "He is but Professor Oak said not to say anything." She replied.
Abruptly Old Earl threw a punch and hit Surge. The Gym Leader fell back to the floor. Fara panicked and bolted to the opposite wall.
"Dang nabbit you fool!" Earl yelled. He then went to the store entrance and locked the doors and shuttered the blinds. He then stalked back towards Surge only to pick him up and smack his head again.
"How stupid are you to state classified information like that out loud! If Oak said that silence was needed you should have kept your trap shut!' Earl thundered.
Surge grimaced and rubbed his head. "You didn't have to hit that hard old man. I just thought it was best to get the story out." He stated.
"Better for who? The filly? All you're doing is giving her trouble. You know as well as I do what kind of people are out there. All you're doing is painting a target on her back!" Earl roared.
"I wasn't telling you for shits and giggles Earl! I'm trying to get you a recruit." Surge stated.
Earl stilled and stared. "Recruit?" he asked.
"Yes, recruit. I know you've been looking for a new person for a while now. Fara there doesn't have anything better to do so I thought I'd introduce you two." Stated Surge.
Earl turned his gaze to Fara and grimaced a little. It was obvious how scared she was. "Filly? You don't need to be scared. I won't hurt you." He said.
Fara stayed still and stared at the two men. But, eventually, stood taller and relaxed slightly. She stayed away though. Earl sighed a little and walked behind the counter. He looked over to Surge and then back at Fara.
"Why did you bring her? You know full well that I don't take on females. The jobs too dangerous for them." Said Earl
Surge shook his head. "Are you still stating that sexist crap Earl? I thought you knew better than that."
Earl just sighed and looked back at Fara. "Filly, come on over. You might as well know why this idiot dragged you in for."
Fara, now calmer, joined the men at the counter.
"Now filly, do you know what a Scavenger is?" asked Earl.
Fara shook her head. "No, but I'm guessing it has to do with pokemon items and retrieval." She replied. She looked around to the items on the shelves.
Earl chuckled and nodded at her. "Well, you're smart. I'll give you that. You're right for the most part. Scavengers are the people responsible for acquiring poke items for the market. Some items are harder to get than others so the market puts out requests for acquisition. My crew will find and/or transport items to the place of sale." Earl stated.
He waited for her to absorb the information and then continued.
"Items like evolution stones, fossils, and rare berries can't be found just anywhere. My business involves training a group of people in getting these items. Scavengers need to be able to travel to areas with little to no human habitation and survive without help. It's not uncommon for them to do things like deep sea diving or spends months at a time in the wilds in search of their marks. Besides the inherent risks these activities have there are the other issues. Poacher's and criminal elements have been known to interfere with Scavengers in pursuit of the same items. More than one person had lost limbs or has been scarred for life. Fact is' I've lost some good people in this work." Earl said.
Obviously, Earl was trying to scare her off and a normal trainer might've been. However, Fara was more interested then scared. Earlier, when talking to Surge, Fara had told him her two joys, traveling and survival training. There was just something about being forced to rely on your own wits to survive in the wilds that attracted Fara. Being able to travel when doing the same thing was just a bonus in her mind.
She thrived in the wilds and could see herself exploring them in search of some mystery object. Fara turned her gaze to Earl.
"So you mean to tell me that Scavengers are trainers that travel the world to wilds few ever see, are forced to fight for survival with no one but their pokemon on their side, and are paid for it?" she asked.
Earl's frown smoothed in relief and he smiled at Fara. The girl obviously understood how dangerous the job was. She'd run off like most other people and then he could teach that idiot Surge a lesson about stupid ideas.
Fara beamed at him. "Where do I sign up?" she asked with an impish grin.
Panting, Fara darted into the Pokemon Center. It was late in the evening and she'd missed her appointment with Nurse Joy. She needed to call the Professor before she got in trouble. Surge had been quite insistent when he'd realized how late it was.
Grinning, Fara reached a video phone and dialed the familiar number. Within moments a Lab Assistant transferred her to the Professor's private line. He actually looked quite angry to Fara. Her grin faded just a little.
"Do you know what time it is Fara?" asked Oak.
Glancing at the clock close by her she replied.
"6:53?"
"It is but that must be wrong because I'm sure we agreed this morning that you would call me by 4, correct?"
She winced. Professor Oak's tone was ice cold and features grim. Quickly she spoke.
"I'm sorry! I just got caught up at Earl's. It took me forever to get him to make me a Scavenger and then Lt. Surge wanted to go out and eat to celebrate. Then Earl made me go through my gear with him because he said I needed a lot of things for training and then…"
Oak interrupted her frantic babbling.
"Stop! What's this about Scavenging and who is Earl?"
Fara froze slightly. The professor seemed confused and mad now. 'Stupid stupid Fara. You just had to start babbling again.' She said to herself. It was an old habit that cropped up when being scolded by authority figures. She cleared her throat and toke a deep breath like her councilor had taught her.
"After Lt. Surge evolved his Eevee we stopped at a store called Earl's Poke Item Inquiries. He thought that I'd like to learn about Scavenging since I didn't like battling. Earl owns the store and trains Scavengers to do their job and they help him get rare pokemon items." Fara paused and Oak took the opportunity to speak.
"You said something about convincing Earl? Does that mean you actually signed up for the job?" he asked.
She nodded hesitantly. Oak reached up and pinched his nose and closed his eyes. He took several breaths then looked at her again.
"Surge was then one who took you over to Earl's and recommended you?" he asked
Again Fara nodded her head. This time the Professor ran both hands through his hair, disheveling it.
"Fara, I'm going to call you in the morning. I need to talk to Lt. Surge. I want you to stay at the Center and get you examination done. Do not leave until I call you. Understand?"
"Yes Professor" she replied
The man nodded shortly and then the screen blanked. Fara stared at it for a moment before going heading to the front desk to check in for the night. She was still a little shocked from the Professor's anger. Shame filled her too. Professor Oak had been nothing but kind to her and she'd failed to do something so simple.
Fara had really been caught up in the excitement earlier. Learning about Scavengers had lit a fire in her soul. Sure it sounded dangerous but she'd come to face reality on the dangers of a Pokemon Journey already. The incident in Viridian had taught her that things happened in even the most peaceful of situations. Her training with John had just enforced her desire to better herself in future.
After she had finally gotten old Earl to let her join his crew he had spent the better part of an hour explaining the kind of training that Fara would be facing. To be frank it would be brutal. In fact, Surge had said Earl's survival training had been adopted by the military twenty years before. The failure rate was high and often serious injuries occurred during it. This, in part, was why Earl rarely employed women. The failure rate was much higher for them. Stamina was a necessary part in survival and it was a sad fact that most women didn't have the amount needed for Earl's training.
Fara was determined to succeed though. Survival training had always been her strong suit and she wanted to be challenged further. It would help her bond with her pokemon more as well. The training would involve them extensively. Earl had been clear on several points.
One she and her team would need to pass exhausting team evaluations. For Scavengers their only support was usually their pokemon team. It was a dangerous career field and few wanted to bother with it. So a Scavenger's team was the key to success. Her bonds with her pokemon could be the difference between life and death.
Next Earl had said that a Scavenger's team was chosen to suit their profession. Pokemon who could track, transport, and defend the Scavenger's team were given priority to catch. Fara had been pleased to find her current team matched the criteria perfectly. All three had the potential; Poocheyena with tracking, Pidgey with transport, and Pichu as defense. Earl had told her she was off to a great start but that her team would need an increase in numbers.
It was expected for her to have at least 18 pokemon by the end of her training. Scavengers, at least those that worked for Earl, were expected to have three rotating teams of six. This allowed for a variety of skills sets and prevented the pokemon from being overworked. It also helped fill in gaps if a pokemon was injured.
Fara herself would be going through training in order to get a series in certifications that would be useful for her profession. She would be expected to get a diving certification, pilot's license, and EMT certification (Human and Pokemon) to start with. Those and other additions would be expanded on as her training and career progressed.
She would also need to get a college degree as well. Earl felt that too many children ignored school in the pursuit of their Journey's so a degree was a requirement. Fortunately, Fara had at least a year to pick a path before she was reintroduced to the classroom.
All in all Fara was looking at six to eight years of education and training before she could officially call herself a Scavenger. It was daunting, the amount of work that she would need to put in for this career path but it was exciting too. She was finally able to see herself with a future other then aimless wandering.
It was after ten then next day when Fara left the examination room. Her head was pounding and she felt nauseous. Surge had been proven right, she had Psychic Sensitivity. A Hypno had been brought in to use a light probing. Her head had exploded in pain at the psychic energy's touch. Nurse Joy had been quick to stop the Hypno and give her a strong narcotic for her current migraine with orders to go to bed.
Fara hadn't argued; just took her meds and was now heading in her room to get some sleep. Groaning at a particularly sharp jolt of pain Fara leaned against the wall. As she waited for it to pass she was startled by a gentle brush of fur against her calf. Looking down she was surprised to see a fox like creature with six red tails. The pokemon was seated and stared at Fara with tilt of its head.
It took Fara a moment but she remembered what the pokemon was called; Vulpix. A fire type, canine, that was especially popular with trainers who participated in the Contest route. It was adorable and had potential to be a powerhouse upon its evolution. These pokemon were considered to have some of the longest life spans outside of Dragon types. They also had the potential for psychic capabilities so Fara was hesitant to stay around the pokemon. Her recent diagnosis and extreme migraine made her wary.
It was as she was getting ready to ignore the pokemon and get to her room that she was stopped by a loud voice.
"Donna! There you are." Spoke the voice.
Turning, Fara was greeted with the visage of a boy around her age with gray hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in dark slacks, white dress shirt and topped off with a black vest. He was cute. He was also headed her way. Moving from the wall she stepped away as the boy kneeled down to the Vulpix.
"What do you think you're doing, wandering off? You had me worried." Exclaimed the boy.
He looked over to Fara and smiled gently.
"I'm sorry, Donna wasn't bothering you, was she?" he asked.
Shaking her head Fara returned his smile. "No, I was just going to my room when I ran into her. She wasn't doing anything." She said.
Suddenly, she winced again. Another sharp pain had jolted her. This drew the boy's attention. He got up as Fara leaned against the wall for support. Donna, the Vulpix, also got up and stepped towards Fara. She stepped away from the pokemon. The boy caught sight of the movement.
"Hey, are you okay? Donna won't hurt you so don't worry. She's probably just worried about you. She doesn't like to see people or pokemon hurting." He stated
Fara shook her head. "I'm sorry. I'm not scared but I have a bad headache. I have Psychic Sensitivity and I wasn't sure if your pokemon had any capability with psychic energies yet." She apologized.
The boy frowned a little and laid a hand on her arm. "I'd ask what that was but you look like you need to see Nurse Joy. Let me help you to her." He said
Fara shook her head. "It's okay, I've already seen her. She gave me some medicine. I just need to go to bed and sleep for a little while."
Still frowning the boy nodded. "Okay but let me help you there. You don't look good." He stated
Sighing in defeat Fara nodded and let the boy take her arm in support. His Vulpix stayed back when he gestured towards it and then he walked with her back to the room she was staying in. It was a quick walk and Fara gave him quite thanks before closing the door.
She reached her bed after shutting the curtains. Her head was pounding less and the nausea was fading but exhaustion was replacing those feelings. Without changing or removing her shoes she lay down and was out in seconds.
Fara woke up with her head feeling like it was full of cotton wool. A slight dizziness was also apparent so it took her a while to get out of bed. The LED clock across from the bed stated it was after 2:00 pm. Slowly, she got up and tried to gather her thoughts.
The medication she had been given was powerful. The druggy aftereffects made thinking harder. Looking at the clock she remembered that the Professor was supposed to be calling her and she'd probably missed. Wincing at the thought of being late yet again, she got up and smoothed down her hair as she exited the room and headed to the lobby.
He would probably understand this time. The exam had caused a vicious migraine and the medication had knocked her out cold. Sighing she headed to the front desk. It would be best to see if she'd received any messages before calling.
Nurse Joy was accommodating; after a brief question session about she felt the Nurse had handed her a message from Professor Oak. To Fara's relief the messages' tone was kind. She was just asked to call after she'd woken up. Obviously Joy had explained the situation.
Smiling she reached a terminal and dialed the number. Within minutes she was connected to the Professor. In contrast to the night before his visage was kind and concerned.
"How are you feeling Fara? Nurse Joy told me that you tested positive for Psychic Sensitivity." He asked
Fara smiled at the man. "Better. I'm still a little fuzzy from the medication but I don't feel sick anymore." She replied.
"That's good to hear. I'm sorry that you got so sick from Gizmo's teleportation. I would have never recommended it had I known about your condition." He said
Fara shook her head. "It's okay, how was either of us supposed to know. Psychic pokemon aren't that common; finding out was bound to happen later rather than sooner. Nurse Joy explained to me that it's pretty uncommon so testing is rarely done." She stated.
"True. I guess its better you learned now anyway. Did she explain the precautions you will need to take?" he asked.
"Yes. I'm going to get a medical registration bracelet and she said you would be putting a capture restriction in my file in regards to Psychic pokemon. She said that I would be eligible to get a Psychic inhibitor from Silph Co. to prevent Psychic touches from making me ill too." She stated
"That's sounds about right. Nurse Joy is writing the order for the inhibitor. I'll co-sign it and send it to the Branch Office in Vermillion City. Seeing as this is for a medical condition you will be getting it free. There's a Grant that is used to cover the expenses." Stated Oak.
He shuffled in the screen and pulled out some paperwork.
"Now I want to talk to you about signing up for the Scavenging program with Earl McPherson." He said.
Fara nodded at the man. She'd realized that she'd upset the man with her choice of career yesterday evening. His reactions had made it obvious so she understood he needed to talk to her.
"First off I do want to congratulate you. I know of Earl and the difficulty of even getting a place in his training program. If you succeed it will be a wonderful opportunity. However, I hope you realize how intensive and dangerous this program will be." He paused.
His gaze was fierce and made Fara place close attention.
"The statistics of passing this are against you Fara. Out of the last 100 recruits only 15 were women and all but one of them failed the program. It's not only physically grueling but mentally as well. While I can see you passing the Survival Training I have difficulty in thinking you will pass the defense classes."
Fara winced at the brutal honesty.
"I need you to understand how difficult this is Fara. Scavengers are expected to have the skills approaching that of an ACE trainer. They face some of the most dangerous criminal elements and wild pokemon with little to no support with the exception of their pokemon. You will need to eliminate your anxiety towards battling completely and get strong enough to compete with tournament champions."
He let that statement sink in. Put in those words Fara suddenly felt a lot more nervous then expected. Battling was her weakness and the idea of becoming that strong with it was unbelievable.
"Fortunately for you I have a solution." Said Oak
Fara head shot up at the declaration. Oak was smiling at her grimly but Fara felt hope.
"I spoke to Surge last night. In response to his blatant disregard to keeping classified information secret I've given him an ultimatum. He's going to work with you on your battling skills. He is an ACE trainer and military veteran on top of being a Gym Leader. He'll get you up to snuff as long as you work hard." He stated.
Fara was quick to respond. "I'll do it Professor. Work hard I mean."
"I'm sure you will but it's going harder than you think. Lt. Surge is one of the hardest taskmasters in the Gym circuit. He's down right brutal when it comes to training and battling. However, if you can take it, I'm sure that you will be able to pass your program Defense courses." replied the Professor.
Fara stared at the man and then nodded. She was terrified at the idea of constant battling but if it was that important to this career she'd chosen then she would do it.
Twenty minutes later Fara hung up the phone and leaned back in the seat. The rest of her conversation with the Professor had been over paperwork and tests that she would need in preparation of her Scavenger training. The official Program start date wasn't until January of the next year but the time in between would be busy.
She would spend it working with Surge and traveling to capture potential pokemon. It was fortunate that part of the agreement Oak struck with Surge included free room and board at the Trainee barracks in his Gym. Most of her money was going too spent on traveling to fill the pokemon requirements, of which she needed at least nine before program start, and getting her supplies for the training program.
The fees associated with room and board, food, and education tuition would be covered by the Program. If she passed part of her salary would be put forward to pay off the debt left after what a government grant, which Oak was helping her get, didn't. Even with these options Fara was still responsible in acquiring her and her pokemon's training gear.
She needed an assortment of training clothes, guides, tools, and other miscellaneous equipment for herself. Fara would also be buying specialized pokemon nutrients, which included boosters and special berries, training weights, and various medicinal supplies.
Frankly, Fara needed another job. Earl had explained that she'd work as a part timer while undergoing training but the funds would be limited. A second part time job would be necessary if she wanted to get everything she needed and live in enough comfort to focus on her studies.
She sighed and got up. It wasn't even evening but she thought getting an early dinner would be best for her and her pokemon. She needed to explain what would be going on too. They were going to be working hard like her and she wanted their support.
After getting a meal from the cafeteria she sat down and released her pokemon. Quietly the four of them ate. Once done she explained what would be happening in the simplest terms. Pidgey, ever the battle hungry predator, was happy at the idea of extreme training and getting stronger. The other two were supportive but Fara believed Poocheyena just thought they would be playing, of which he was always ready for, and Pichu was just going with the flow.
It was while she talked to them that Fara heard an excited 'Vul' and her pokemon got spooked. Donna the Vulpix was running towards Fara and her pokemon. Firmly, Fara told her pokemon, to stand down from their defensive postures. They were still a little over protective of Fara and treated all strangers, pokemon and human, with suspision.
Donna stopped and then leaped only to land in Fara's lap. The vixen was unrepentant as she stared her nose down at the snarling Poocheyena. Another canine sniffing around his master was an unimaginable offense to the pup.
"Donna, get back here!" yelled a familiar voice.
Looking up, Fara spotted the boy who had helped her earlier. He'd changed to jeans and a black polo shirt. He spotted Donna on Fara's lap and seemed to sigh in exasperation. While he walked towards them Fara once again motioned for her team to stand down.
"I'm so sorry. I hadn't realized Donna had gotten away again. Um… I'm sorry but what's your name? Mines Adam." Stated the boy.
Looking at Adam Fara sighed. "It's okay. My names Fara. Could you get your Vulpix off me though? I'm supposed to be avoiding any pokemon with Psychic potential and I don't want to set her off in any way." Asked Fara
The boy was quick to take the red fox off Fara's lap and cuddle her into his arms.
"I'm sorry. She doesn't understand. I talked with Nurse Joy earlier and she told me what Psychic Sensitivity was. I tried to tell Donna she should stay away but she has a habit of trying to help sick or injured people. She was worried." Replied Adam
"It's okay and I'm sure I'm overreacting but until I get my inhibitor I need to avoid any pokemon with Psychic tendencies. Your Vulpix is very cute though. I always thought they were some of the most beautiful pokemon species." Fara sighed at the sight of the beautiful pokemon.
She really loved Vulpix but with the medical condition she had she'd never be able to own one. Nurse Joy had been adamant that she never capture any pokemon that had psychic potential. Extended psychic energies could prove dangerous to people who had her condition. Even the inhibitor she was getting wouldn't help with long time exposure. It was just designed for temporary use only.
Adam was observant of her focused stare.
"You want a Vulpix huh? Are your sure you can't get one though? Donna's great and I think everyone should have a pokemon like her." Stated the boy.
"No, the inhibitor only allows temporary protection. Even if I wanted too Professor Oak has put a capture restriction in the system. If I catch any psychic pokemon they'll automatically be transferred to his custody and released" said Fara
"Well if you can't have a regular Vulpix have you thought about an Aloan one?" he asked
Fara frowned at him. "What's an Aloan Vulpix?" she asked.
The boy grinned. "It's an Ice and Fairy Type from Alola. Their pretty rare here in Kanto but they can be found in their home region. My grandma showed me a picture of one after she went on a vacation to Alola. It's not psychic so you if you went there you could probably get one." Adam exclaimed.
Fara was surprised and excited at the information. An Ice type had been recommended by Oak as one of her potential captures. The fact there was a Vulpix, one of her dream pokemon, which was an Ice Type, was exciting.
Adam returned Fara's excited grin. "Well I'll let you go. Donna and I have to do some training. We have our first Contest coming up." Exclaimed Adam
Donna barked an excited "Vul'. Adam then made a quick bow and excused himself. Fara just focused on her thoughts. A Vulpix, she could really get one. Nurse Joy had said that fairy types weren't restricted to her. They had similar sometimes even the same attacks as psychic pokemon but the fairy type energy nullified any psychic energies that may hurt people like Fara. In fact the inhibitor she was getting was based off Fairy pokemon. It emitted similar energy waves that negated psychic ones.
Grinning at her pokemon she spoke. "Well guys, I know our first capture expedition is going to be!" stated Fara.
A/N:
Hey guys. This is going to be the last update for a month or so. Don't worry; I have no plans in abandoning this story. I just am in the process of replacing my computer and starting a new job.
I have the next chapter planned out so keep an eye out. It'll be the start of Fara's prep for Scavenger training!
