I Don't Own Pokemon
Jonathan, did at one point visit me once more, mostly him telling me, his friends wanted an apology which I told him, that they could at least ask themselves. And after that, he asked me about a couple tips on training a pidgey, which I gave him, at least the basics of the plan I used when Pidgeot was training as a Pidgey. It might not be what he was looking for, as the Pidgey he caught seemed to be more on the psychically side of things instead of speed like my bird.
So after that, I was off back on the road, this walk would be one of the fasts ones so far, the trip at most was about two days, and that is usually with multiple breaks so I was fully expecting to get their in under a day without any breaks. And considering I probably wasn't going to be sleeping tonight, then even if I didn't make it during the day, I highly doubt that, I at the very least won't show up sometime very early in the morning.
Currently, I was on a long stretch of road, with only Mismagius out with me as the others, while wanting to say out, were to tire from the last few days of training for me to have them stumble around. I actually got an earful because of that from the nurse at the Pokemon center, which was annoying as she wouldn't make me rethink anything from yelling at me, no my own personal guilt was more than enough for that.
So all of them were staying in their pokeballs at the moment for them to get rest, while the same would have also applied to Mismagius, if not for the fact that she actually was all that tired, at least comparability to the others. Plus my team would have through a riot if at least one of them wasn't out with me, and Mismagius has over the last few months become the one that was out the most.
It was a mix of her not really liking her pokeball, something about it being boring, and because she was normally in my shadow or off to the side looking at random stuff. Which drew less annoying attention to me, than say the massive electric lion that was Luxray or the, for some reason, 'scary' appearance of Lycanroc. So, that was the reason she was currently out and about floating around my head looking at some of the more brave wild Pokemon that were around us.
Like the few stray pidgey and spearow, though those two particular Pokemon seemed inclined to pay closer eyes on each other than what they were watching me. If I'm remembering right, the two main bird Pokemon in this region don't get along with each other at all. I don't believe I've ever heard as to why that was but I could probably figure it out, after all spearow were already very aggressive Pokemon in general, so conflict would be bound to happen with another bird Pokemon.
So I just ignored them, because as long as a fight didn't break out with me in the middle of it, then this was a problem for those two species of Pokemon to sort out their own problems, not mine. Though I do wonder how they would react if, Pidgeot suddenly made a guest appearance. Shaking my head at the thought, as while the image was kind of funny, at least imaging the chaos was enough for me to realize that it wouldn't be a good idea.
And that's when I heard a shout of pain, as I looked around for a moment, as Mismagius drifted back over towards me, and that's when I saw them. I already knew I would be meeting up with those three again, after all I was going to the home town of the main bloody character, but I didn't think I would run into them before I even got there. I watched the three of them for a moment, wondering if I should just leave, and that's when Misty seemed to notice me, and wave me over.
Now I'll be honest I was quite bloody tempted to just turn on my heel and walk away, but then I'll just have to deal with them being angry at me, when they catch up when we all arrive at Pallet, so I just sighed before making my way over, as Mismagius dropped into my shadow. Walking over towards the group, I noted that Ash was holding his nose in pain for some reason, as I got close Misty called out to me.
"Hey Kyu! Are you heading towards Pallet Town as well?" I gave a nod, before giving a questioning glance over at Ash who seemed to be pressing his face against air. Which was a weird sight to see as I walked in front of him, to see his face mushed against nothing. I noted that he, along with the others were giving me a startled look, so I raised an eyebrow at them, after a second Ash unstuck his face, against whatever he was pushing against and said.
"How come you can get by?" I just continued to look at him for a moment in confusion, before realization dawned on me as everything sort of just clicked into place, as I told them, my theory, well most of it was based on remembering this episode, for some reason, at least the starting minutes of it. But they didn't need to know that
"Some Psychic type seems to have made a Barrier here, I'd guess a mr. mime as they are known for being specialist in this move" Brock and Misty seemed to understand what that the basics of that meant while Ash flipped open his Pokedex and scrolled around for a bit until he found mr. mime, then after a moment he, along with the two other looked up at me with another look of confusion, and asked.
"But wait, if a mr. mime put a Barrier here, then why can you go threw it?" the other two seemed to come to that wonderment as well, as they both all looked at me with an equal look of confusion. Didn't I already explain this, well, to be fair I never said what type I was.
"Pokemon remember? I'm a Dark type, which means I'm immune to all Psychic moves which includes the move Barrier" Brock seemed to become concerned, Misty just looked at me like I was an idiot, while Ash just looked confused. That's when Brock said.
"Look, Kyu, I know you seem to think you're a Pokemon for some reason, but it isn't healthy, what is happening here, is the mr. mime is just trying to confuse us some more by letting someone through the barrier" I raised an eyebrow at him. Really? I told them that like three months ago, and they still think I'm crazy, whatever. So with that I dropped my illusion. Before looking down at myself for a moment, in self-examination, ignoring all of their shocked gasps of surprise, then I said.
"Yep, you're completely correct, I'm definitely human, one hundred percent, I mean just look at me" I rolled my eyes as all three of them seemed to have a mental crisis, as Mismagius float out of my shadow and started laughing as she watched their faces morph into shock, surprise and a few other interesting emotions. I'll be honest, it was actually really funny.
Still, I did acknowledge them so they wouldn't be shouting at me, next time I see them, so my work here is done. So with that I dragged my illusion back up before turning and walking away, though I did note that I heard Ash's Pokedex go off, giving a short description on Zoroark, interesting I didn't know he had access to the national dex upgrade. So I just kept waling, after all, they were the ones that was trapped behind a barrier.
Which was actually pretty convenient as they couldn't chase me down as I strolled away, though they all did call out to me to stop, but I figured that was just the shock so I didn't bother. I mean I did tell them already, they have had months to digest that information, it's not my fault they didn't believe me. After a moment Mismagius floated up next to me.
"They're weird, I wonder why they didn't believe you the first time" I just shrugged before answering the best I could.
"Probably because people like to blame stuff on insanity rather than pulled themselves into a suspension of disbelief that someone that looks human isn't actually human" She just placed one of her arms up to her chin before nodding to herself, then said.
"That's really deep Captain, I didn't think you were so insightful" I just huffed in amusement as she teased me. I can be deep and thoughtful, well I'm always thoughtful, deep on the other hand? Eh, I have my moments, I guess. With that we continued onward towards Pallet, from my mental calculations, it should only take another, maybe two hours before I get into the town, then maybe at most another twenty minutes to find a hotel room.
It took a little longer than I originally thought but that wasn't really anything bad, just about another hour and a half on top of my predetermined time that I had guessed it would take. Though the hotel was a bit annoying as for some reason I had to jump threw a bunch of rings to get a room, something about me being a minor, which really didn't hold weight, as I technically wasn't because of my Training license I'm technically recognized as an adult law wise.
But after some arguing, which I won course, I finally got my room booked for the next week and a half, before I would leave for the Indigo plateau. Though, unlike how I've gotten everywhere else, I wouldn't be walking the distance this time, I was going to fly it with Pidgeot, which meant I should get there in a few hours, instead of the half a month walk it would normally be, that's right, Pidgeot is that fast.
Mostly because of how I timed it all out, when I should get there, I'll have about a week up there before the competition starts to finalize the last bits of training for my team. The time here, at least half of it, would be spent resting my team, the other half would be psychical and stamina training. Nothing intensive, which they would complain about but I wasn't going to back down on that, they would just have to deal with it, and relax.
Not sure I've ever had to say that before coming to this place. Whatever, with that I dropped myself onto the bed in my rented room, I wouldn't be getting any sleep, but at the very least I wouldn't be standing or walking. Though I honestly hadn't walked as much as I have in the past, didn't mean I wasn't exactly tire, well that also wasn't saying much, I'm always tired.
Maybe I just wanted to be lazy for a few days, along with my team, and I'm just getting into it a little early. Who knows, but what I do know is I wasn't getting up yet, so I just laid there with my face pressed into the pillow in front of me, as I just relaxed for a bit. I noted from the sounds around me Mismagius was having fun laughing at me, but I didn't care. Though after a moment, I noted my eyes were slowly getting heavier, which meant sleep, huh, that's nice.
Nothing to interesting to note about really, Ash and his two friends now know for fact that Kyu is a Pokemon, and Kyu is now in Pallet, with the League soon approaching. Something I really have to look into at some point, about the structure of the tournament, so I know how many battles I'll have to write, lot of them which will be back to back, chapter wise. Anyway, See ya.
