I Don't Own Pokemon


After the battle, and all the idiotic commotion around me had settled down, I had been quickly swarmed by the other trainers and passengers on the ship. Needless to say, I didn't exactly appreciated it, so I did the only logically thing I could do. I ran to my room and barracked the door with the bed, before having Luxray lay on it.

So currently I was sitting as far from the wall as I could get while waiting on the dozens of people outside my door to go the hell away. Honestly, fame is overrated, I couldn't see why people think it's a good idea to be public and have fans, it was a bloody nightmare. It's the reason why I've always used a username, never my actual name.

But when my username becomes my name, point and case, being sent into a fictional universe controlled by a godlike version of yourself, well that anonymity, doesn't really last long. It was just something I'll have to get use to, I find training and battling way to much fun, especially after what just happened, to give up because people are annoying.

After all, I've been dealing with annoying people all my life, this isn't anything new, just this time they'll already be aware of me. Whatever, I shouldn't complain about this anyway, it's not like this is that bad or anything, at least not yet. But I'm not exactly looking forward to this if it gets bad.

I noted that the sound from outside, seemed to spike for a couple of moments before, after a couple seconds dispersing. Raising an eyebrow at that, even if no one was their to see it, as Luxray seemed to decided to take a nap. I waited for another moment before a knock came from the door, and was quickly followed by a voice I recently learned to recognize.

"Hey, Kyu. Do you mind letting me in for a second, I want to talk to you" Standing up I made my way over to the door and returned Luxray while pulling the bed out of the way. Making sure it looked like I never moved it in the first place, I opened up the door, ignored Steven for a moment, to instead looked around him to make sure I wasn't about to be mobbed again.

Deeming it safe for the time being I stepped out of the door frame to let him instead my small cabin like room. Before Closing the door behind him, while wondering why he was here. As while I was curious, I wasn't exactly comfortable with someone being in a place that could be dubbed 'my' room, it was just one of those things I had was that I enjoyed my personal space a lot.

"Oh, hello. Any reason why you've here?" I've already given the Champion in front of me my respect with that handshake, so I was completely fine with acting a little rude, and or blunt, to figure out why he was here. He just gave me a smile, something that I noted should have had some reaction on me, but didn't. Oh yeah, Pokemon biology...oh, I'm not sure how I feel about that. he didn't catch my sudden realization and instead said.

"Yeah, I meant to mention it earlier but we out crowed, and by the time I had gotten the prize for winning you had disappeared. I just wanted to give you what I won, so here" And with that he held out a bag for me to take. Which I did with some slight confusion as I raised an eyebrow at him to explain, before reaching into the bag to see what he was giving me.

"I just wanted to do something while I was on board, it wouldn't have been fair if I just won the entire thing, so I figured that I'd just give the prize to whoever lost to me in the last round. Though I wasn't expecting the fight I got, so I was thinking about giving the prize to another trainer but it seems I was correct, you only have five Pokemon on you, so I figured you might like it"

That's when my hand made contact with the item in the bag, it was round and felt familiar. Pulling it out of the bag, I stared down at the pokeball in my hand for a second, before looking up at the man in my room and asked.

"A Pokemon? What kind are they?" He just shrugged before he turned and began to walk out of the room saying.

"I don't know, I didn't ask but I do know it's not from this region at the very least" I frowned at that, it seemed to clear cut, something was being withheld, looking at him as he was about to open the door to leave I said.

"You're lying" He stopped, before looking at me with a confused expression that I didn't believe for a second. I didn't know why, maybe it was out of paranoia, but this didn't seem right, or at the very least complete, and I don't like not knowing. So I said.

"This ship doesn't go inter-regional, and all the trainers on board, besides the two of us are from Kanto. If the Pokemon in the ball is not from this region, it wouldn't be held as a prize, no, their are a bunch of breeders that would pay good money for it, even if it's not that rare, so this wasn't the prize"

I didn't like admitting that, it was something I just didn't feel comfortable with, Pokemon breeders. Still he looked at me in shock for a second before smirking, and said.

"You are quite clever, you're right, that Pokemon in your hand is actually one I caught from a distance region, I really only got it because I was curious about it's evolution line. But I think it'd be in better used in your hands, plus, I'l admit I'm curious to see how to handle it, judging from your skill, I know you'll be in this years Indigo League, so I'll see your progress, threw that Pokemon"

I frowned at that, he was using a life to test me, while not ruining or killing someone, it didn't exactly leave me with a feeling of joy, still I nodded to the man before telling him.

"Well, we'll see, it's up to them if they want to battle on my team" He just looked at me for a moment with a look of, for some reason gratitude, before turning and walking out of the room. Maybe he wasn't all that bad, after all he was aware that he didn't need another Pokemon.

Looking at the closing door for a few more second, I looked down at the pokeball in my hand before frowning. Still I wasn't sure I was comfortable with the idea of a Pokemon being put up as a tracker for me progress, after a second I shook it off and decided to just ask the Pokemon in the ball what it thought. After all it was the opinion of the one inside the ball that really matter here.

Activating the ball, I didn't bother tossing it and instead just held my palm open as the lid opened up as a light let out of it to reveal the Pokemon inside. Looking down at the Pokemon, that was also looking up at me, I felt myself think through my knowledge of Pokemon before after a moment coming up with a name, though to be fair the reason why it took a second was because I've never personally played the generation that this one was a part of.

Knelling down to get closer to the rockruff's level before saying to it as it looked up at me, with a look close to relaxed, but still had a look that they were ready to react, to what, I didn't know.

"Hello there Rockruff, how are you feeling?" They just looked up at me for a few more seconds before leaning forward a little bit and smelled me, for some reason before, looking back up at me in confusion.

"You smell like a Pokemon, but you look human, I'm confused" Judging from the voice they were male, good to know, he also seemed to be young judging from his voice, it had a similar note to it that Luxray had as a shinx, that I learned didn't have to do with evolution. He just continued to give me a confused look so I said.

"I'm a Pokemon, I just look human. I got an ability called Illusion, which means I can change what I look like, at least somewhat. This is, currently all I can look like besides my normal form" I made sure to use a familiar tongue for the little guy, though I didn't speak Alolan, I used pokespeech to make sure he believed me, and to make sure, even more so, I dropped my Illusion.

Rockruff looked at me for a second, seemly lost in thought before summing up his thoughts in a few words on the matter, before asking what was confusing him.

"Huh, neat. So are you my Boss now, or are you apart of the Boss's team?" Boss? That's a new one, I wonder how much of a coincidence this would have to be for non of my team to choose the same title as another, if I didn't know all this was pre-planned, I would have thought it would be a big one. Anyway I pulled up my illusion before telling him.

"I'm the 'Boss' if that's what you're calling it, but if you don't want to be apart of the team then you don't have to. It's your choice or not, if you don't want to battle then you won't" He looked down for a second before after a couple moments looked back up at me and told me his answer.

"I'm not sure, I like the idea of battling but I don't know if I want to, do you mind if I just hang around for a little bit before making my choice?" I just gave him a nod, to which he just made his way away from me, and instead jumped onto the bed that I had moved back against the wall. After a second he just plopped down and seemed to fall asleep almost instantly.

Huh, I got a lazy puppy on the team now, well I might have a lazy puppy on the team if he chooses to become a battler, and if not then I guess he'd be a mascot or something. That is if he wants to stay with me if he's not battling. Either way, I can easily see he probably has a Lax nature.

Which just means he isn't one to take things as seriously as he should probably, well that isn't bad. After all, considering the fact that I have often gone up against a massive criminal organization without really any real care, if I said anything I would just be a massive hypocrite.

Still, while I don't know much about gen seven, I have played it and have had my ear talked off from some of my old friends about an event involving this type of Pokemon. If he's lazy, then he has his own tempo, maybe. Well I can just look later, that information isn't going to really be doing anything for me if he isn't one to battle.

Glancing at the small clock on the wall, I made a side note to get a watch at some point, while also comparing the time to the arrival time I was told when I first got onto the ship. It would still be a good six or so hours before the ferry would be docked. That was unfortunate. Oh well, this just gives me time to let the team to get to know their new, maybe, teammate.


After some introductions and a lot of talking, it seemed that everyone was mostly comfortable with each other. Though I did note that out of everyone Luxray seemed to get along with him the most. Though Luxray got along with everyone, all of my team got along well but Luxray took it a step farther, out of everyone, he was the only one that was actively great friends with everyone else.

Still I didn't really think that an lightning lion and a rock wolf, would get along so well, but that's what I get for thinking with stereotypes on the mind. Moving past that, it had been a few hours and the ship was getting need to dock at one of the Cinnabar ports.

Which meant that I'll be able to get to a Pokemon Center soon, which is good. I didn't like that Charizard was in pain, as I burned threw four potions to get him to the point where he wasn't flinching at being touched, from his overly sensitive skin. That trip into the water did a lot more than either of us thought it did.

Not to mention the fact that he, right after evolving, burned threw, quite literary, his entire reserves of fire. Well he'll have to take some time to properly recover, if the information on the Charizard evolution line's biology, that I had memorized, was anything to go off of.

I'll be honest, I've mentioned it before, and I'll mention it again, I knew way to much information about Pokemon biology. It was a heavy mix of curiosity and horrible insomnia, along with the fact that the kid that had this body before I came here, studied like a bloody mad man, it was ridiculous how much information I could just recall.

Because of course, information about the average wattage output of small sized Electric types, was information I got before learning the names of my 'parents' in this world, along with any other good to know information about my past. It did come in handy but it was annoying when I could recall something like that, but not what the address was for the house I lived in.

After all, at some point I'm going to have to go to Unova and that's going to lead to so many questions, I literary don't have the answers to. Whatever, problem for later, right now I have to make sure that I don't have to scale a blood volcano to challenge Blaine.


Next chapter is going to be a Gym battle, probably, it depends on how much I write about Kyu going and finding the Gym. Also, new Pokemon, I knew a new Pokemon would be added during or on the way to Cinnabar since I plotted out all of the 'capture points' But I wasn't sure which one to go for. It was an open debate in my head going back-in-forth between Rockruff and three other Pokemon, but in the end I decided on Rockruff, because why not.

Anyway, See ya.
