I Don't Own Pokemon


Turns out walking in a straight line isn't the best way to escape a forest. So after about three hours of walking, while having some small talk with Shinx, I decided to do something productive at least while we were walking. Looking downward I watched Shinx walk besides me with his head tilting side to side lost in his thoughts.

"Hey Shinx mind doing me a favor? Could you use Charge as much as you can" My voice seemed to snap him out of his thought's but nonetheless he looked up at me with his happy smile and nodded. Watching as his fur began to spark and generate more electricity, I noted that the long the move took Shinx had to use more concentration. After a few more moments Shinx looked up towards me and said.

"That's the most I can get master" I just gave him a small smile and nodded my thanks towards him as I thought to myself about about what I knew of the move Charge. Going from the games, it increases ones special defense by one stage and doubles the next moves damage if the move type is electric.

I could see how both could be seen here, as the electricity hopping around Shinx's fur could definitely could absorb some extra damage and from what I can infer it gave Shinx a temporary boost to the pool of electricity that he used for his electric type moves. That could make a good type of training. With that in mind.

"Alright good job Shinx, how does it feel? Is it uncomfortable?" Even if it could be a good training method I didn't want to push Shinx into anything until we were both use to training. Thankfully he just shook his head and said.

"It isn't really that uncomfortable master, more like I've eaten to much"

"Alright that's good, now what I want you to do is try to get use to the amount of voltage your currently producing. Hopefully if I'm right this will help increase your pool of electricity, so just hold it and don;t like the charge decrease" He nodded. Even if it didn't do what I wanted at the very least it would get his body use to working at a higher wattage.

As I watched his face twist into a serious look of concentration, even I couldn't help but think he looked adorable. Animals always has been my weak spot so of course. Shaking my head at the thought I looked around again for a moment trying to see if I could get lucky enough to notice a building peaking out from the trees.

Sadly not such luck, so with that the two of use continued down our path through the forest. After a while I noted that Shinx didn't seem to be concentrating as hard as he was before hand. And it didn't look like the Charge of electricity around him was decreasing. So it seems that my method did have some credit to it.


About another hour later Shinx hardly seemed to be aware that he was holding the Charge anymore. But sadly his total wattage didn't increase, but that didn't mean it didn't have its benefits.

From some testing he could build up to his maximum charge in a little under twenty seconds without to much effort. Before it took him almost two minutes of pure concentration. That in its self made the effort worth it, but that didn't change the fact that we had been walking in a straight line in a forest for the last four going on five hours.

So with that we decided to take a break, there was only about three or so hours left in the day which meant about another two hours of walking before we would have to camp out here. We could just continue walking but we did need a break.

So with that I found a nice big tree had had some good shading to rest against as I watched Shinx run about the flied that was nearby. He just seemed to have an infinite amount of energy that I just couldn't compete with, still it gave me some time to myself to think.

I mean I was in the Pokemon universe because the original me was bored. I still wasn't entirely sure about how I felt about it. I mean I wasn't real so I didn't have to deal with that cliche about worrying about my family and getting back to them because the other me was still with them.

I couldn't even complain about where I got sent, because I loved Pokemon for most of my childhood and even my adult life. But the fact remained that I didn't have choice in t his and that was the only thing that was really what got to me the lack of choice. I mean I would have chosen this anyway but I didn't have the chance to make that decision.

In the first place. Sighing I pressed my hands to my head as I became aware that I was just being moody just for the sake of being moody. Removing my hands I saw Shinx was staring up at me with a worried expression on his face. It made me feel a little bad for making him worry.

"Don't worry Shinx, I'm just thinking about something, nothing you have to worry about" He didn't seem convinced, So I moved on to something else before he question me further.

"Now come on over here and get your food" That seemed to perk him up as I place a hand full of the pokefood in front of him. I felt a smile appear on my face as I watch as he dug into it. After a moment I turned myself back to my own food to eat when I heard a shout of 'MINE' from somewhere in the clearing as a small bird dived down at Shinx's food.

My reaction was quicker than even I expected as I shouted out toward Shinx who only just began to look for who shouted.

"Shinx use Spark directly above you!" Thankfully he complied, but it just as the attack connected that I realized what a hour long Charge on top of a electric attack could do to a flying type. But it was to late to change anything as a cloud of smoke exploded outward from where the Pidgey was hit.

I felt my self wince as the burnt bird fell to the ground with a thud. Moving on instinct I returned Shinx before he could notice what his attack did. And opened my bag up to grab a potion out of it, even if I didn't know how to use i, it appeared that my hands did with clam effectiveness as I released the seal and sprayed the potion over the really bad parts.

It was still unconscious but at the very least it wouldn't have to deal with being in pain when it woke up. Moving to put the mostly used potion away, I stopped when I looked into the bag a noticed the ten pokeballs that were present. Looking back at the bird I felt myself put the potion away as I grabbed an empty pokeball out.

Should I. That was the main question. I would love a Pidgeot on my team, I remember the two I had gotten for Red and Gold versions and the ones I got for there remakes. But I did hurt it bad, what would it think when it woke up. I couldn't expect complete compliance like I got from Shinx.

After a moment I made my decision as I tapped the button on the pokeball priming it for catching before giving an underhand toss towards the bird. Watching the ball connect I waited for it to shake the normal three times before I felt a feeling a relief as the ball clicked showing that the capture was successful.

There was a few reasons why I wanted to capture the Pidgey. One because I wanted a Pidgeot, two because I wanted it to get to a Pokemon Center, and three is that it would be good to have more than one Pokemon. After all I wasn't eight and only had one strategies of just using my start to try and stream roll the game.

moving past that I clipped Pidgey's pokeball to my belt before grabbing Shinx's pokeball and released him. He seemed confused as to why he was returned so I just explained to him I didn't want he to attack the Pidgey while I was trying to capture it.

"So do we have a new team mate now? That'll be great I wonder what there like" I just smiled, because of his happy attitude, and told him that yes we had a new teammate and I to wonder what they were like. Afterwards I motioned for him to eat the rest of his food.

Looking up at the sky I noted that it was being to turn to night faster than what I expected. Shifting the bag I had off me onto the ground I opened it up to grab the tent and bedroll out, to begin to set up camp for the night. Once that was done I motioned for Shinx to follow me as I sat down in the tent.

"So, I don't believe we've talked about this yet. But how do you feel about taking on the Gym Leaders?" Shinx seemed to be confused by the question but I knew that he understood my question, as we have already talked about the Gym Leaders and the next two steps up being the Elite Four and the Champion.

"I think it sounds like fun. And it gives us a reason to become stronger" Well that's good, I didn't want to force my Pokemon into fighting if they didn't want to. After a moment I felt a yawn coming up. And it was then that I realized just how tired I really was.

Reaching down to my belt I picked Shinx's pokeball off of it and was about to return him before he asked me something that I didn't expect.

"Um, actually master would you mind if I slept outside my ball tonight, with you" I didn't think I would feel so much from that but it actually made me feel bad that the normally so cheerful and happy the little guy felt shy to ask. So I just gave a nodded and put down the pokeball and motioned for him to come on while telling him.

"If you want to stay out then all you have to do is ask. I'll never make you" I didn't expect to be tackled to the ground for my answer as I felt the surprising heavy club press his head against my chest. I only just smiled as I pet his head as I felt my eyes become a little bit more heavy as I drifted off to sleep.


Waking up in a tent, to be honest, wasn't something I was hoping for. I honest expected yesterday to be a weird fever dream. Oh well, with that I sat-up and looked around the tent to try and locate Shinx. It turns out he was curled into a ball on by where my head was resting while I was a sleep.

I thought about returning him while he was a sleep to at least give him some more rest but he seemed to enjoy being out side more so I withheld, letting him sleep on my bedroll or a little longer. While he was resting I set out two piles of food, while also making a note to buy a couple bowls when I finally find a town.

After a moment I reached down and grabbed Pidgey's pokeball. Looking at it for a moment, I wondered if I would be attacked by the Pokemon insides of it, well if they did then I could just return them or wake Shinx up. With that I tossed the pokeball into the air and watched as Pidgey appeared while grabbing the pokeball falling from the air.

"Hello there Pidgey, sorry about Shinx shocking you but I you some food to make up for it" I waited for a moment as the Pidgey looked around for a bit before turning back towards me, they tilted their head at me for a second before saying

"I got shocked? No wait food, where the food!" The voice was male so that's one question answered. Still he didn't seem to be aware of his surround. Nonetheless I pointed to one of the piles of food by me and watched as he flew over and began to eat away at it with gusto. He didn't even seem to be hesitant at my presences.

Naive was a Pokemon nature right? Because that's the only one that I think applies to this situation. Well at least the other me isn't being lazy when it comes to this story. I watched as the bird ate for a little while longer before I noticed that Shinx had woken up. It was quite interesting watching them talk.

Though I had to get involved once Shinx told Pidgey that he was our new teammate as I don't think Pidgey even knew that he was caught in the first place. But after some talking while I packed up the campsite I convinced Pidgey to come with us as we could provide him with some more food and a chance to become stronger.

So with that the three went walking for a while before I gave up trying to figure out how to leave by myself and asked Pidgey to fly up and see if there were any buildings near by. After a couple of minutes he returned saying that there was a city about five miles north of us.

Needless to say considering that we had been moving south for the past day, I was not amused. Still I offered my thanks to Pidgey and with that the three of us began to make our way towards civilization.


So what if I posted chapter two a day after the first when I said it would be a few days at the least before I posted another even if I ever posted another one. Are you really going to complain about more chapters. Still I've enjoyed writing this story more than I thought I would so another chapter will probably be posted some time soon, anyway. See ya
