I Don't Own Pokemon
About a little more than a week had past, which means that I was currently about six hundred feet in the air on Pidgeot's back moving at about mach four, which was currently about two-thirds of his max speed. I had only left Pallet about an hour ago, and I figure that I was about maybe, an hour out, as I had already past Viridian and was about fifteen minutes away from Pewter.
After a bunch of practice, I was beginning to enjoy the speed and altitude that I was at, more than the crippling fear I felt about what would happen if I fell off. So it was more relaxing than I thought it would be, as I looked down at the almost small looking towns below me, as we glided through the air. I was currently sitting with my legs crossed as I thought about the last couple days.
I after another day or so, finally started up my team on move training once more, I really was planning on not having them do any training in that regard. But I was completely aware that I was just stalling out of me not wanting them to over tax themselves. So I moved past my wanting of not over working themselves, because I knew them all and their limits enough that I knew it wouldn't over work or tax them. So with that I and the team got to work.
It took some time but I convinced the Professor to have one of his Pokemon, his Dragonite to be more specific, to show me Hyper Beam. So after some research and a bunch on explaining, Luxray had manged to work out his next new move, a concentrated beam version of Giga Volt. After some discussion we finally settled on the name Hyper Volt, which while not super original was accurate as to what it did.
I also managed to get Pidgeot's control of his Hurricane's up to at least a good enough level where he could expanded the radius to about twenty feet before he was actively straining himself to control it any longer, which was great as that was about four times more than what he use to be able to do. He also managed to figure out how to use Heat Wave as well, which was nice as it covered his Ice type weakness at a distance.
Vaporeon was interesting in the stuff she learned, she was kind of the one that made the bases for all the variation moves on the team as she managed to learn Muddy Water, and then figured out how to purify it, into Surf, or as it is now called, Tideway, as it didn't involve surfing. She also learned Aqua Tail, using Iron Tail as a base, which was then turned into a projectile water-blade attack, from taking inspiration from Pidgeot's Air Slash, which was now called, Water Slash. She was a bloody genius when it comes to variations.
Mismagius, she actually spent a lot of time learning different typed attacks, as the following moves were, Magical Leaf, Icy Wind, Power Gem, and Shock Wave. Which was a lot, so she hasn't been able to master them all, but she certainly put her place as the most versatile move set, on a full new level. While she might not be the most strongest she certainly had the most coverage against practically everything.
Charizard didn't learn as much as the others, managing to figure out Heat Wave, the same as Pidgeot, though having a bit more success on the power of the attack. He also managed to complete the move I had him work on, and while it wasn't Fire Blast, it was certainly powerful, as it massive a massive amount of fire compacted into a fire ball about the size of a basketball, it gained the name Flame Shot, and when it exploded the AoE was massive, covering about twenty-five feet in fire from the impact point.
Lycanroc on his evolution, had a lot of moves open up for him, and boy did he learn a lot of them. Dual Chop, Thunder Punch, Counter, Reversal, and even Outrage, which was just bloody awesome to watch him use it for the first time, though that only lasted for a few seconds before Luxray went and calmed him down before he destroyed the forest we were training in, during his rampage. Currently he was still trying to master those moves, and even teach Outrage to Charizard, who seemed very interested in learning it.
Most would think that would be the end of the team recap as I went through each of the six members of the team, but I also managed to learn a few things during the last week, while not as impressive as the others in any stretch of the word. I have managed to figure out how to use Knock Off, and Snatch. Well I say I learned them over the week, but I didn't know about either of those moves, until I checked up on the teams list of moves with my Pokedex, and got curious and scanned myself.
So for all I know I got them a day before I did that, or over four months ago, but the fact was I learned I did in fact know new stuff, it was just subjective as to how new it was. Still with that I was now done with the team recap, moving on, I looked downwards once more and noted that we were coming up upon a plateau, well coming on up was a little much, we were still easily dozens of miles out, well considering we were going over fifty miles per mile, so yeah we were coming up on it.
I moved forwards and lightly patted Pidgeot on the head to get his attention, as I didn't want to startle him to heavily, before pointing at a clearing that was on a big patch of grass before the land turned into a massive building complex. Which, was quite cool to look at really from above, at the four different areas from the air with the main stadium in the middle.
It was a nice view at least until I heard a siren as it pierced into the air, wincing at the high sound, I looked straight down and noted that someone the a guard more than likely judging from the person wearing a uniform underneath me. I wonder if they think I'm trying to carpet bomb the place or something. If so then they are idiotic if they think a whistle is going to stop me. Looking back towards the Pokemon under me, I said to him.
"Looks like we have someone who doesn't want us up here, Pidgeot. Do you mind coming down a bit quicker, and land in front of them, you might want to come down slowly so you don't knock him over" I got a nod, as he circled around as that annoying high pitched squeaking sound, moving forwards, I knelt down by the top of Pidgeot's back and placed my hands over his ears, as I noted he seemed to veer a little in the air, as the sound was clearly annoying him as much as it was me.
I would have done it to myself, but he was the one that was cutting off the height we where in the air, by dozens of feet a second, plus I didn't want him to deal with the sound if he could have me help tune it out. Even as I got lower, the bloody human under us, was still just blowing on that whistle on and on. Gritting my teeth, as I landed I quickly hopped off, before Pidgeot's feet touched the ground, walking forwards I ripped the whistle out of the man's hand and snapped it.
"OWWW! Why the hell would you just continue on marching on with this bloody migraine inducing instrument, when I was already coming down, you sadist!" My bloody ears were still ringing, needless to say my good mood was ruined. As I glared at the security guard who seemed to be slowly realize that I wasn't in a good mood, as he almost stuttered out his answer.
"U-Um, well you see sir, trainers aren't allowed to fly to the stadium, safety reasons and such. So I needed to get you're attention" I just stared at him for a moment, contemplating about how people are idiots. Before sighing to myself as I placed a hand to my forehead, as I did my best to clam myself down, before saying.
"Listen, I was already coming down from the air, so why the hell would you continue with that hell spawn of a whistle? Do you think it's fun to cause me pain? Because if so then I would like to repeat my sadist comment" I was honestly curious, though he seemed more confused an anything now.
"But that whistle is made for only Pokemon to be able to hear it. I continued to blow it so you're pidgeot here would know to come down. It's what we are ordered to do when we see someone trying to approach the conference" I'm truly at a lost as to why literary any of that would make any amount of sense to anyone. So I just gave him a look of disbelief, before explaining to him a few of my concerns, before just giving up half way through.
"Why would Pidgeot know to fly down because of that sound, if I didn't hear it he would have just ignored it. Also that should be considered bloody Pokemon abuse if those are stranded issue, that is bloody painful, my ears are still ringing. You know what, I don't what to deal with this, could you just leave, before I start ranting about the headache you gave me" I got a nod as he quickly walked away from me.
I just dropped my head backwards as I just spent a few moments to sort my mind out as I blocked out the lingering ringing in my ears. Honestly I really should have handled that better, but good god was that painful. Super sensitive hearing is not even close to being as fun as it sounds, especially when their isn't a way to lower it any, though thankfully Pidgeot doesn't have as good of hearing as I do, but it is close to the same so it still applied.
Sighing to myself just once more, I looked down at the crushed item in my hand, I had nearly turned the metal instrument into shreds of metal. It seems that I had been stabbing into them with my finger nails without me knowing it. Dropping the scraps to the grass in front of me, I waited a few more moments before turning and making my way towards what looked like the sign up building.
Well to be fair it was the main building, but it had a registering sign above the double, sliding doors, so I'm calling it the sign up building. Returning Pidgeot, I began to walk my way over towards the building as I flipped open the flap of my bag, and reached in and grabbed my Trainer Card, badge case, and in case I needed it, my Pokedex as I'm pretty sure that was used in the show. Closing up my satchel, I placed the items into one of the many pockets I added onto the jacket Illusion I had on.
Walking up, waiting a moment for the door to open, then stepping into the building, I made my way over towards the front desk, where a woman was standing behind. Giving her a, bit more fake than normal, smile as the headache still hadn't fully rescinded. As I said to her.
"Hello there, I'm here to sign up for the Conference, first time I'm doing this. Mind telling me what I need to give to you?" She smiled right back, in her case it was much clearer that it wasn't forced, as I was probably one of the first to sign up, she hasn't had to deal with the rush of contestants yet. After all I was close to being full week early before the competition was suppose to start up.
"No problem, what you'll need to give me is a form of identification to prove you're a trainer, and the required minimum of eight League issued badges. Though because you're a few days early, you'll have to check in with me again in about six days time so you know who, where, and when you'll be battling" I gave her a nod as I also gave her my badge case and trainers license. About twenty seconds later, once she placed my card into a nearby computer, I got my stuff back and was told.
"Thank you Officer...You'll be staying in room one-o-six, until the conference ends, I hope you do well" I raised an eyebrow at the title, as I took my items back from her hands I leaned forwards just quick enough to take a glance at the computer screen. Well, a second more than a glance, but I did find what I was looking for. On the screen was my trainer information, and were it said occupation, it read to the right of that 'Pokemon Trainer/(Trainer) Police Officer'.
Interesting, I wonder if that's my official police title, trainer, I'm not entirely sure what to feel about that. Well, it didn't really matter what I thought, I decided to not name it so it is my fault if I don't like it. Though that didn't mean I didn't like it, it was just a title. Then again, that might be what I think is the problem with the title for me, was the fact that I had it to begin with, I've never been one for formalities or titles, I already forget names really easily, no need to add more on top of that.
So I just gave her one more nod, before backing up from the desk, and looked around the room for a moment before finding a large scaled up map on the wall. Making my way over towards it, I looked it over for a moment, just long enough to find where I needed to go, before turning and making my way out of the building. I had a week before the competition starts up.
The team will only be training for the next four days at max, and then the rest of the time I'm just going to have them relax before the upcoming waves of battles. It wouldn't be good for any of them to be stressed before going into this conference. So with that I began to make my way towards the area that the trainers who were in the tournament would be living for the ten days of duration that the conference would be lasting for, it was apparently called the Pokemon League Village, which was a overly specific.
I've built up a lot to the League starting up, I mean since he's gotten his first badge this has been building up, which is basically as long as the whole thing was team rocket expect it was the main goal, also once the battles really get started up the next total ten or so chapters is only going to be this one big Indigo Conference arc, its going to be a lot of battles back to back, with some dialogue pushed in at the beginnings and ends, at least if I'm going to write these chapters like I think I'm going to, which is why I put so much build up in between the last badge and this starting. Anyway, See ya.
