I Don't Own Pokemon


It day been a few days since I had set out from Accumula, and while I was still about at least a day and a half away, that wasn't what I was currently focusing on, no my main focus was currently on the kid in front of me, he had jumped out in front of me, and challenged me to a battle, and apparently doesn't understand that I didn't want to, so I've had to spend the last four minutes, painfully holding back some of my more, uncensored, comments.

Which was harder than one would think as I haven't really gotten the best sleep in a good period of time, longer than I would like to admit as over the last four days, I've only gotten about maybe six hours of sleep. Needless to say, my patience wasn't really at it's best right now and this was really pushing it, still nonetheless I just held back some of the more rude comments, and instead said.

"Look kid, for the fifth time, no I'm not going to battle you. Now go away" He just pouted even harder, and seemed ready to throw a tantrum, but I just crossed my arms and held my ground against the brat as he seemed to collect himself, at least until he opened his mouth again.

"But why!" If it hadn't been the tenth time I've heard that whiny voice I would have done more than just sigh, but it wasn't, so that's all I did, while I could practically second hand feel the enjoyment Mismagius and Riolu were currently experiencing from my suffering. At least those two were getting something out of all this, but that's besides the point really, the main point is I'm honestly thinking about walking away and just pretending I never ran into this kid.

"Look, kid, I'm not going to battle you, so could you just give up" He just pouted even more heavily, which honestly at this point, I'm not sure how it was possible, his entire face was beet red, I'm surprised he hasn't fallen over from lack of air. Still, I just raised an eyebrow and waited, either he would pass out and I could bloody leave, or he wouldn't and I would just leave anyway, personally I'm hoping for the former.

Though, I'm not that lucky as he sudden opened his mouth and took in a big breath, I just gave him an unimpressed look, before turning and walking away. Ignoring his yelling, I just continued on, while also ignoring Riolu and Mismagius panicking when they noticed I was walking away, while they were busy loudly laughing at me, something they seemed to bond over doing.

Which I guess is a good thing but I kind of wish it wasn't over my pain, as I wasn't on board with helping them get to know each other by making myself suffer, mostly because I like me enough to not do that. Though they seemed fine with making me suffer without me helping out, as Riolu was suddenly dropped on my back as Mismagius dropped her from above me from the shadow from under a tree branch that hung directly above me.

I just let out a annoyed sigh as I shrugged my shoulders to jostle the Pokemon on my back to make her time trying to get up onto my shoulders just a little more difficult. Ignoring her as she yelled in my ear, I just continued on. I've ignored a lot of stuff so far so it wasn't that hard, all things considered, to pretend that the kid wasn't throwing a fit behind me as I continued to walk away without any remorse.

"That was fun Captain" Sadly I couldn't pretend I didn't hear that as Riolu started laughing again at my Ghost's words.

"I disagree heavily, but I'm glad that at least you two had fun" Who cares if I didn't bother to hold back all the spitefulness from my words, I had a headache now, and it hurt. Though it seemed that Mismagius noticed as she floated up in front of me and patted me on the head before floating back away so I could see where I was walking. It didn't really help my pain but at least she apologized to me, in her own way, so I gave her a small smile, and continued on.


Straiton wasn't really that interesting, it had been a few hours since I had arrived and I have to say there wasn't really anything to do here. Out of self interest I visited the gym mostly because why not, it was surprisingly close to the entrance that I came through to enter the city, and while I did some how get roped into eating there. Something I'm still not sure how, considering I only walked in looked around and was about to turn around, and was suddenly sent to a table and had food laid out in front of me.

Turns out the gym leaders were still getting the actual gym set up, and that meant they didn't exactly have much capital. So basically, I got a lunch, which was a little awkward as, while surprisingly good, because of lack of artificial favoring in the food, the thing that normally had human food bland and generally unhealthy to Pokemon, didn't mean I would be able to eat the seven course meal that was laid in front of me in the first minute of being sat down.

Which lead to me sending out my team so I could get some help, and while I didn't care, and the gym leaders were surprising fine with it, I don't think the other customers enjoyed a fifth of the restaurant floor space and four separate tables being taken up by a bunch of Pokemon. Though, I have to say it was incredibly adorable to watch all my Pokemon sitting at the tables trying to look fancy while trying to figure out how to use the silverware.

During which, I had a conversation with, I think it was Cress, that I wouldn't be challenging the gym was also interesting, though I couldn't tell if he was more disappointed that the still newish gym wouldn't have another challenger so soon, or he was a little glad that I wouldn't be doing so, as he looked over towards my Son and Wolf trying to see who could eat the fastest without accidentally breaking something, which would look probably horrifying to anyone but me.

Personally I thought they looked hilarious to watch as they glared at each other from behind two plates of spaghetti. Anyway literally all of that is besides the point, just the weird thing that happened to me when I got into the city, but not what I was currently doing, no this was a completely different weird thing, turns out the small project for the Professor's friend turned out to be a massive one based on clean energy creation via dream mist.

I honestly couldn't remember if this event was something from the anime or the games, as all I remember about dream mist from games was I got that device that I never used and I barely remember anything at all from the anime trek threw this region and consider just how out of the way it was, being located more in the forest than the city, so I had no idea what to expect when I approached the massive laboratory.

Even then, with all the random things that went in and out of my head out of mild curiosity, what I didn't expect to see as I walked into the building was to be charged at. I just blinked as I stepped to the side and as the man in a security uniform moved right on past me, I made sure to give him a push on the back which sent him to the ground, shaking my hand a little, from the contact, as I watched him crash to the ground. With my mix of emotions ranging from small annoyance, high confusion, and mild amusement I looked down at the man and ask.

"Any particular reason why you decided the best course of action was to run head first at me?" He just looked up at me for a second before tilting his head to the side in confusion before asking me in return.

"Wait you're not Kevin" I raised an eyebrow at that, while wondering who the hell was Kevin. And more importantly if Kevin will also try and charge tackle me when he sees me thinking I'm this guy. Nonetheless, I just gave the man on the floor a very disappointed look, it wasn't even that forced, this really made me question peoples intelligence, which made him look to the side in embarrassment before telling him.

"No, I am not in fact, Kevin, and would appreciate it if you make sure of that fact before you try again" He just coughed before standing back up and rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah, sorry about that, their is this kid that keeps trying to get in and look around,I think he thinks that we're doing something a lot more interesting than just analyzing mist all day. And because you're about the same height, well I thought you were him and I just kind of decided if words weren't enough then maybe I could scare him off" I don't get it, but that could be because if I don't want someone to do something normally I crush their spirits to give them a bad memory to associate with whatever they wanted to do, not tackle them.

"So, to make your point, you felt child abuse would be the best possible option, got it" He sputtered at that trying to defend himself against my totally correct assessment on his actions, and instead of listening to whatever he was going to say, I just turned and walked further into the laboratory to see if I could find someone to point me to whoever was in charge.

While also wondering why the guard didn't try and stop me, after all, I'm, sad to say, still a kid at least in body. He probably just wanted to pretend he didn't just try and assault a child while thinking he was attacking another child. Which probably made him the worse guard I've come across in a long while he didn't even try and stop me.

"Why are we here again Captain?" I glanced to my side where my Ghost float up and out from my shadow. She seemed genuinely curious, I'm pretty sure I explain what the Professor asked me to do in this city to everyone. Well considering it's my Ghost, there is a surprisingly high chance that she hadn't been paying attention at the time, which is one of her failings, she didn't really care to be observant.

"I'm helping out the Professor's friend, the female one before you ask, I'm not exactly sure with what but from context clues it involves a musharna, so I'm not sure how I'll be able to help considering, you know, Psychic type, but we'll find out soon enough" She nodded as she looked around at all the things that were laid about, ranging from control panels and a few, from my guessing, scanners. I'm not sure how fast the building would blow up, but I'm pretty sure that would be the result if my Ghost decided that she wanted to press everything.

"Stay by me Mismagius, I don't think the employees here would enjoy you messing with their stuff" She pouted but nodded nonetheless as she floated back over towards me, and still looked around every which way at the various gizmos that was around just the in immediate area. I trust her more than enough to believe that she wouldn't stray to far from me or mess with anything of to much importance, but reminders are important and so with that out of the way I continued on into the building trying to find someone.

Which was surprising, as from the size of the building, I thought I would find someone without to much trouble but so far, only person I've seen so far was the one trying to plant me into the ground. And that was the only one I had seen for about six minutes before a random lab tech looking woman suddenly turned the corner from a hallway that I couldn't see and it was only because of my skill in avoiding all human contact as become a literal talent at this point, that I manged to stop and back up in time before she ran into me.

"Oh! Um, hello? Who are you? And what are you doing here?" Well then, wasn't she the questioning type, though she did seem more concerned as to why I'm here than I think is necessary, she acts like I'm about to do something small to mildly devastating, I should be concerned about why she seems to be under the assumption that someone would be inclined to destruction, but whatever, me saying anything on that matter of paranoia would be a pretty high form of hypocrisy.

"Hi, my name's Kyu, I was asked to come here and see if I could help. Who are you?" She blinked, like she didn't expect me to ask anything in return, though after a moment she answered.

"Um, my name is Sara. Excuse me, but who asked you to come here? Because if you're with one of those corporations then the answer is no! You can't help!" Corporations? Well I guess that would make sense, after all, clean and literally self-producing energy would go for a lot on the market. Though that leads to the question,. How old do I look? I get I'm like seven times more mature than the average teenager, at least I hope so, but appearance wise that's what I am. Note to self find a mirror at some point.

"I was asked by Professor Juniper, she wanted to see if I could help on this project of yours for some reason" I still didn't exactly know why she asked me to stop by but I didn't really have anything else to do so here I was. The woman looked at me for a second as if trying to place something before snapping her fingers and pointed at me while saying.

"Oh yeah! I remember Dr. Fennel saying her friend asked a trainer to come by, something about communication with Musharna" I'm here as a translator? Well that's a little insulting, I have other talents that could help with Pokemon research, well to be fair, the bigger ones aren't actually known to more than like a hand full, but still it's the principle of the matter.

"Well that's me, nice to meet you, anyway, could you guide me to Fennel so I can see if their is anything I can actually help out with" She almost seemed reluctant as she glanced down the corridor from where she first walked down almost walking into me, with a small concerned look on her face before turning back to me saying.

"She is a little busy right now, a bunch of potential investors came by earlier to day and she had to send everyone home for the day because of all the interruptions" That usually isn't how that goes in fact I'm pretty sure that's the opposite of what is the norm. It seems I've underestimated just how many people would be interesting in this energy source she is looking into to, still, I just shrugged and said back to the the woman.

"Eh, that's fine, I can come back later I guess. Right now I don't have anything planned for the next three or so days I have available before I have to leave the city, so I can come back tomorrow" She let out a breath of relief that I wasn't going to push it, and gave me a nod before turning and began to walk back down the hallway she was originally planning on walking down.

It was a little disappointing but I'll just come by tomorrow and if they aren't available still, then, well, I tried at the very least before leaving. So with that I turned my head to look downwards where my Ghost had taken to my shadow before asking her.

"Hey Mismagius do you mind Transporting us out of here?" The answer I got was the ground below me expanding into a dark circle before promptly falling into it. Blinking my eyes to adjust to the sunlight being stream from above me, I noted that Riolu was currently swaying on my shoulders, after a moment, she finally said.

"I have several concerns about the last three seconds, first why, second how, and third never again" I just let out a small laugh as my Ghost did a lot more than that as I began to walk down the path that lead me to the lab in the first place.


This chapter had three different parts in it, the first and the most uninteresting one is the words I used to sum up the trip to Striaton, the second was just because I wanted to really, and it had a few fun moments to write about, and the third is the set up for the next chapter, so not much to add there either. All and all nothing really happened. Anyway, See ya.
