I Don't Own Pokemon


Turns out Undella town is the town that will let be have a week between mildly annoying and probably more serious than I take it events. Recently there has been this string of occurrences where people walk up on the beach. Or have items in their house resorted in different places and a bunch of other stuff that sounds like what aliens would do if they exist.

So I did the obvious thing, I asked and made sure that it wasn't Mismagius going around messing with people. After that it was confirmed that my Ghost wasn't going around doing those things, though I think I might have given her an idea about starting to do so, but I think I made it clear that I would rather that she didn't. Though to be honest I wouldn't mind to much just that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to have her think she can do whatever she wants without any consequences.

I still remember when I met her when she really over did his 'jokes' as she called them, while I'm pretty sure I barely blinked at the corpses that she had those two haunters help her make, I highly doubt that others would have the same apathy, which I'm sure would lead to a headache for me somehow. So it's just better if I keep her tendencies curbed with her doing smaller jokes that just mess with me and the rest of the team, all of which are very use to her.

Anyway back onto the task at hand, I'm like eighty percent sure that it's a Psychic type that's doing it. So that's another check mark in the column of 'not my problem' while that might not be the nicest thing to do, I'm on my vacation, no matter how often people want to interrupt that fact, I'm trying to do nothing here, not run around this town playing ghost hunter, especially when it's not even a ghost doing it.

Though listening to the towns people complain about it every time I walked into a store or shop to get something, hell even on the streets, was getting a little annoying. I feel like a stubborn video game character that refuses to take the NPC's quest. Which in all honest might actually be what I'm doing, just in story format instead, in which case good. Screw you me, I'm trying to relax, I already deal with enough of the stuff you throw at me for the sake of 'plot'.

Ok, so I might be getting a little stir crazy, but to be fair to myself, I don't think I've stayed in a place this long since Vermilion, either that or maybe the time I spent in Nuvema or Vermilion. So I'm slowly becoming more antsy then relaxed, though I also blame that on the fact that I'm horrible at spending time to unwind, I can go a few days usually before I just feel like I'm wasting time when I could be doing anything, and that's beginning to happen here.

Which I figured it would, but I'm glad I am spending as much time as I am here, the first couple of days really were needed, and the rest has just been nice extra bits of relaxing, and now I'm trying to bite off more than I could chew when it comes to doing nothing, which just sounds incorrect to me. Though I have done something, but that was a couple days ago, and that whole thing with Team Plasma kind of feels like it was unfinished to me for some reason, like so epic thing was missing from it.

Which really just shows how sadly adjusted I've become to this all, that I think something is missing when there isn't some grand battle involved, though my battle with Zekrom might count as that I guess. Usually there is a few more throughout the whole things, but really I've only had two encounters with them, I guess I should be glad about that, no I certainly am happy about that, less annoyances for me, just not what I'm use to.

That probably isn't be a good thing, well I'm pretty sure that can be the summation of my story since I arrived here in this world, hell even from before hand as well. Shaking my head away from those thoughts, I noted that my Ghost sudden floated down from the sky in front of me with an excited look on my face. I actually winced as I heard a scream from somewhere nearby. Giving my Ghost a look she quickly stopped laughing and told me.

"It wasn't me Captain, I swear! I made a new friend, they did it!" I have a feeling like that whole, not my problem, thing from before is about to become very much so my problem. That's when a Pokemon floated down next to her, looking at the elgyem, I sighed as I really should have figured something like this would happen, I already figured it would be a Pokemon from that line but why do I have to do more than just figure out the likely preparatory?

"Oh! Hello! So your the one that my new friend was talking about! Bop!" After he had, thought? He didn't actually say anything, I know one of his ability's can be Telepathy which I think that's what this is, otherwise I wouldn't be able to heat it because typing's. Anyway, after he communicated that to me, he held out his hand and I watched as the colors on said hand flashed about for a second before stopping, raising an eyebrow at the Pokemon, I watched as they panicked.

"Uhh, that usually does something. Umm, I'm just going to go" He started to float off but before he could get far my Ghost floated up to him and started to smack him on he head while telling him to not try and control 'her captain' which I guess was nice to listen to. Though maybe it got a little extreme from the sheer difference the skill between the two, something that the elgyem seemed to not be aware of before hand as he had no chance to getting out of my Ghost's berating. After a couple second the Pokemon floated back towards me and said.

"Uh, sorry?" That got him another smack from Mismagius and quickly afterwards he said again, with much more certainty in his voice.

"Sorry!" I really have no idea how to feel about any of this to be honest, this all kind of feels like this came out of no where. Looking over towards Mismagius she looked at me like she was expecting something, after a moment I turned back to the Psychic type before saying.

"You're fine" I have absolutely no idea how I ended up in this situation, but it seems like my Ghost was proud of herself so I decided not to say anything as the Pokemon floated off to probably to torment whoever was nearby. I should probably stop him, but after a moment I decided not to as Mismagius waved at me before floating off after the Pokemon, probably to help with the torment, or at the very least laugh at the end results.


It had become something of a really weird game between my Ghost and the Psychic type, the latter of the two would for some reason come and try to control me via psychic flashes from the ends of his arms before Mismagius would chase him around, very quickly catching him before berating him. I'm pretty sure it's because of the fact that Elgyem is very confused as why I can't be controlled.

Though I'm also pretty sure he figured out I'm a Dark type quite quickly, at this point I think he's trying to figure out how do I, and that's it, just how do I in general. As now every time he tried and failed to do something to me, which I think is just his excuse to ask me whatever his question was. Though for some reason he has yet to actually ask me anything something that could confirm what I'm pretty sure he practically knows already.

So that's been pretty interesting plus I managed to get a few questions in myself, I can now confirm that he does have Telepathy as an ability which is interesting. Most would think that it should be blocked off from me because Dark type, but that doesn't actually have anything to do with it. Ability's don't have types attached to them. It's kind of like how Levitate makes one immune to Ground typed attacks but doesn't give the weakness of a Flying type.

So because even though I'm a Dark type, Telepathy works with me because the ability doesn't have anything to do with Psychic types, it's just that Psychic types are the most likely to show the ability. It's one of those interesting fact about Pokemon, well I at least think it's pretty interesting, and I really only consult my own opinions when I'm thinking about something so yeah it's interesting.

Though none of that really mattered at the moment as I was currently looking around in the aisles of a small shop at some of the weird assortment of items that was in one row while there was another next to it filled with some basic travel items, which was the reason why I was in the shop in the first place. I wanted to look at some of the things that I'll probably need to get before I leave this place. Of course that's when a female voice came from behind me.

"I didn't expect to see you here" Turning around, I looked at Cynthia, who seemed to have just walked into the store as well, great, I thought I would only get one encounter with her. Not to say she was super annoying or another, she actually seems really mellow for some reason, but most of the time I talk to a champion it usually is about something serious and that would be a sad way to send me off to Johto, I already had to deal with that coming here after my talk with Lance. Still, I just gave a small fake smile and said.

"Well, I wasn't expecting to see you either, though no offense, I was kind of hoping to keep it that way" She just blinked before shrugging, which I couldn't tell if it was because she didn't care or just accepted that I had a reason for it and acted like I hadn't just said I didn't want to talk without being rude about it.

"Fate works that way I guess, still, while you might not be as amused at our meeting doesn't mean I'm the same. I actually was thinking about what I learned about you from all those weeks ago" It's not even been two weeks since we met, why is she acting like she has spent her life tracking me down to ask her questions? I just held back a sigh and said, with a mostly put on putout tone of voice.

"Yeah, you're not the only one by a long shot, I think everyone that knows about me has at least asked most of the questions one would suspect" As I was saying that I reached forwards and pulled out a box of pokefood from the shelf in front of me and looked at the price for a moment before almost cringing and placed it back. Looking down the row I continued to look while Cynthia asked her first question.

"Why did you decided to become a trainer?" That's actually one that I get asked a bloody lot by random people on the street or that I run into during my traveling around, though to be fair I've never really stated the whole truth before, not like I'm going to start now of course.

"It was just a thing that looked interesting to be honest and because I could so why not, as it turns out I've apparently very good at it also so that's a plus" That's quite literally a blunt reason as to why, I could and I didn't really have anything else to do, being trapped in a world like this after all, why not do something that looked like fun. Cynthia though seemed to already have another question ready.

"But why be the trainer? Why not be in the actual battle as the Pokemon?" I stopped what I was doing for a moment as I thought about it, before turning and looked at her while contorting my eyes to lose all the 'light' I had put on them with my fake smile, honestly it is not hard to lie with your eyes, like making the 'smile reach your eyes' is not at all difficult, it's all in the eyelid control, people that say otherwise really just aren't trying hard enough, still I just continues on and said.

"Who said I knew I was a Pokemon before I started training? Still I'm far to old by Pokemon standards to start training myself nowadays, plus I'm much smarter than I am stronger. Not to mention my incredible trust issues that I have with most people, yeah not being the training isn't really appealing to me" She blinked while I wondered if maybe I should have held back my snark a bit more, the sudden shift was a little abrupt, but at the moment I'm thinking about how I learned about that little fact.

Still moving past that, her eyes widen some, showing that I managed to catch her off guard which is neat I guess, still after a second she responded easily enough. Clearly showing that I'm not the only one that's good at control their expressions.

"I believe I crossed over a line, I apologize, I can understand that I don't completely know your life and it's unfair to ask questions that might not be comfortable for you to answer. How about this, we can move onto a different topic then, something I find quite personal, what do you know about the legends in Sinnoh?" That might be the most blunt topic change I've every experienced before. At least I've managed to deviate her away from that particular part in my past.

"Which ones, your region is filled with them, practically one for each of the legendary Pokemon there actually" I wasn't wrong, besides the main story there is just an absolutely crazy amounts of myths involving the creation trio, the lake trio, the two dream Pokemon, and that's without mentioning Arceus, or the one off Legendary Pokemon that around around the region. Unova also has a lot of Legendary as well but at least the stories behind them are simple and not crazy that some of Sinnoh's even if they are correct.

"Well, specifically I was thinking about story involving three Pokemon mostly known by those that research into their existence as the lake guardians, three Pokemon known for holding the essences of knowledge, emotion, and willpower. Are you familiar with them?" Why do I have a feeling like I'm not going to really like where this conversation is going to go? It might just be her tone but I think something is beginning to take place and I really don't think I'm going to like it.

"Yeah, I've read a lot about lore and history. The lake trio, which is I what I've come to think of them, known as Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf if I'm remembering correctly. Why did you want to talk about them?" I forgot that it's lake guardian some how, probably because practically every region has a trio of Legendary Pokemon that have some connection but after apart of the box Legendary set.

"You just remind me of them for some reason, it's not something I can explain why, you just have this presence like um.-" For once she seemed to not have the correct words but she didn't have to finish as I could already see where this was going to go, though maybe I would finally get an answer as to why this keep coming up, even Zekrom mentioned it awhile ago while I was helping my Team with their weird form of training/relaxing.

"A aura of superiority? Yeah, so I've been told" She suddenly snapped her fingers and said.

"Yes! That's it! You have this feeling like you just know more, like you have a higher standing, it reminds me of the Lake guardians, expect all in one non Legendary Pokemon. A Pokemon that lives as a human that has an incredible control over his emotions, has a massive amount of information at his disposal, most of which most trainers haven't even heard of, and what you've done in such a short time and still continue on like it was easy, shows an impressive amount of will power"

Blinking, I thought about it and decided that I guess the connect was pretty accurate but most people could be shown to have the same things, it's mostly just because it's me and that most people think I'm a lot younger than I actually am, bloody young teenage body. Still, I just nodded before saying.

"Yeah, I guess that sounds interesting, I don't really think it comparison is all that close though" She blinked this time before reaching forwards and tried to grabbed my arm. I tensed and stepped back instantly, thankfully she stopped but now their was a look in her eyes that I don't think I'm going to like.

"You have touch aversion don't you?" I really don't like how she said that, but I nodded nonetheless as I mean, I do, it's a thing and not likes is some secret or anything so there wasn't really any point to deny.

"Are you aware that legend says that Misprit doesn't touch others because it is known to sap away emotions from them. Azelf is been said to be able to leave it's body and take the form of another, almost like how you do with your illusions, to make it look like your human. What about Uxie, the Pokemon said to have created all knowledge, you seem to have a general understanding about a lot of obscure topics, Aura, mythos, Legendary Pokemon, etc."

I have no way to respond to that, I can't tell if she thinks that there is this big conspiracy going on or if she has just lost it hell maybe it's both, but frankly this was getting a bit weird for me to be honest, which is saying something. After a moment i frowned and said with more annoyance than I thought I was feeling.

"Ok, touch aversion isn't some grand link you seem to think it is as last time I checked I can't steal emotions, second my illusions are just to make my life a metric ton easier, not something about will, and third it's called studying, you know about the same as I do in practically all the subjects we've talked about if not a good bit more. With all that said, why are you trying to find some link between me and a trio of Pokemon that are in a region that I've never even been to?"

I really don't understand what's going on right now, maybe this is some weird exposition thing that's happening right now, probably some stupid way to link why I'm self aware about my existences or something, but even if that is the case then I don't think it really matters. I'm here, I don't care about some grand explanation that fits this worlds lore.

"It's not really anything that serious, it's mostly just me thinking my thoughts out loud, though now that I'm looking back at it, maybe trying to touch someone with touch aversion, even if it was only me confirming it, might be seen as rude. It's just that you're such an interesting individual that I can't help fall back onto lore and myths to see if anything reads about such a Pokemon before" Well, maybe being in her profession makes her think that the past is always repeatable, which I think it a little naive.

"I hope their isn't, I would much rather be one of a kind, than some child that has all their accomplishment set out before them just from being born lucky with some second coming kind of thing happening to them. I'm just me, I'm unlucky and I'm skilled, but that's it, at least I hope so, I would rather make my own legacy rather than being someone else's" This is my story, not some repeat from another one from the past, I'm an original not some retelling from a story from the distant past.

As I finished my statement, I reached forwards and grabbed the food I finally decided on and made my way towards the front where the register was located. I know I'm not real when it comes to the 'real' world, but here I'm real and that's all that matters to me, but that doesn't mean I want the world to revolve around me, I don't want some world ending plot to be only what my story is about, I'm more than fine with coasting and falling into my problems. And with that I walked out the door after finishing paying.


Ok, the end of this chapter might be a bit confusing as I don't know how well I described it. Basically, does Kyu have some relation to the lake trio? I don't know, maybe, maybe not, it's like Kyu himself said, both of us don't really care about some grand explanation that fits in world lore, if it is true then whatever, doesn't change anything for him does it. As for the whole, 'this is my story' thing, well I mean it is, it's probably one of those selfish spots of mine, but I really dislike the idea of my own life being nothing more than a repeat of another, it just one of those things I don't think anyone would like to know, myself very much so included. As for the randomness that Cynthia seemed to display to have this whole thing happen, well she's had like half a month to draw random connections to something she saw as interesting, it's just that maybe it didn't head in the right direction for it.

This chapter got really deep which wasn't really my intention but I started writing and at some point I went about a thousand words over my average chapter length and this was the end result, so that's a thing that happened. Anyway, See ya.
