I Don't Own Pokemon


That canyon valley mix of a landscape had some nice spots to train in, so that was something, also on a side note, Lycanroc can apparently sense that amberite thing that scammer tried to sell me tools for, so guess what, I used that shovel for something after all. I didn't really care much about selling the few smaller gemstones that I found, but I did keep them, because, I mean, the stones were neat, and if I ever need quick cash then I can just pawn one of them off if need be.

In the mean time, I'm fine with keeping them on hand, I might even make a ring out of one of the stones or something, it's been a while since I've actually worn anything fancy, I usually just don't care for it, but it would be neat to have, maybe I can use it to be one of my memento to have for when I leave Johto in the distant future after I'm done with everything I want to get done with here.

I'll think about it more later, well probably not, I don't particularly care for the idea of wearing expensive stones, but I have them now, though that was because of my own boredom that I bothered to dig them up and I literally have nothing else to do with them. Anyway, beside that whole thing with the stones nothing really happened, training wise, everyone progressed a nice amount but nothing to make a special note about.

So with that, I'll skip to me walking into the Pokemon Center in Cherrygrove. I had returned my team a little while ago when I had first entered the city to conserve space in the smallish sized population of people. Though I still had Luxray out along with the normal two, so it's not like I was walking around alone, as everyone on my team still throws a fit on that, which I still don't think is necessary.

Shaking my head away from thinking on it more than really was necessary, as they've been doing that for a long bloody time now, and it would be weird if I started to have a problem with it this late into it. Anyway, walking into the Pokemon Center, I looked around for a moment, noting the fact that it was a bit empty, which I certainly don't mind in the least.

So with that, I walked up to the front desk and signed into the first available room that could be rented out. From there, I ignored the sudden desire to go to said room and see if I could get some sleep, something that has been annoyingly elusive in recent times. Not to the point that it's been actively effecting me enough to be affecting my productivity by any real amount, but it is a bit annoying to be completely honest.

But that's nothing new, so I just ignored my mind's want of a nice bed to pass out on and instead turned and made my way out of the Center. I need to pick up some items before turning in and, hopefully, getting some sleep for the night, as I don't feel like going shopping first thing in the morning. So with that I went next door to the Pokemon Center, where luckily a basic supply store for trainers was located, something I noticed when I entered the Pokemon Center a couple minutes prior.

Though thinking about it, maybe I should have went to the shop first before heading to the Pokemon Center, maybe the sleep deprivation was effecting something in my head. Oh well, nothing I can really do about that now, though this does give me an even better reason to try and get some sleep tonight, cognitive disruption because of lack of sleep is really annoying, especially when it comes to the simple stuff, though it's not like I really need many of those to begin with.


Waking up in an sudden start, I looked around for a moment, holding back my body wanting to jump up and move away. After a second I laid my head back down onto the pillow below me, and took a small breath before breathing it out. I really hate that ingrained instinct, but it usually doesn't go off without reason, raising my head back up, I looked down at my chest and looked at the form of Mismagius, who was laying on my chest, not in her shadow where she usually sleeps, on my left side, well, that makes sense now as to why I reacted like that.

She doesn't exactly weigh much but with her on my chest, on that area in particular, well the pressure of her body seems to be enough to get those annoying memories in my head enough to panic me some. Honestly, at some point I'm going to figure out a way to block it out, well, at least figure out a way to block it out better than I have, because panicking really isn't a fun thing to do, not to mention it makes sleep a little less appealing.

Anyway, I continued to lay down on the bed for another few moments, getting my mind back on track, and properly wake and away from any of my more unpleasant memories that were dangerously close to the surface before reaching up and shook my Ghost's body for a moment to get her awake, as I didn't want to startle her awake like I had been, because I know how irritating that is. first hand

After a moment, she shook her head, before looking up at me and blinked before floating up into the air to give me room to be able to stand up and get out of the bed I had been laying on for the last however long. Actually, thinking about that, I looked over to my right, where a small digital clock was resting on the wall. A little over six hours of nice, peaceful sleep, that's actually pretty bloody good, more than I was expecting to get at least.

I don't really feel like I've gotten that much sleep, but sudden awakenings can have that effect not to mention even if it's a good and decent bit of rest for me all things considered. That doesn't exactly mean that my body is all caught up and running at peek performance, but I can work if it nonetheless, it's not like I've actually been at peek performance for years now.

This though is my normal baseline however, even if I don't exactly enjoy that particular fact. So, with that, I stopped pitting myself, and some of the more unfortunate aspects of my life and instead made my way to door and finally flipped on the light, blinking away the sudden change, while holding back the urge to sneeze. Though, it did help me move onto something else to think about when Riolu, who was laying down on the ground on my really underused sleeping bag yelp at the sudden light.

"What is wrong with you! Just because you're a freaking robot that doesn't need sleep doesn't mean the rest of us can just march along with your insanity" I rolled my eyes at her over dramatics, while Mismagius laughed without pity at her reaction. Though to be fair, my Ghost and the older team members have long become adjusted to my sleep schedule, not to mention I almost always make sure that they get more than enough rest for them all.

"Well, we're in a room now, not in a forest, I kind of had to turn on the lights to get ready for the day and all that, so it's not like it was personal, besides you got about six hours of sleep, so you can't complain that I'm making you as sleep deprived as I usually am" She just stood up, and huffed before limping forwards to the small desk in the room and climbed onto the chair, while dumping my bag, which had been in said chair, onto the floor before saying to me.

"I call bull on that. You can see in the flippin dark, you Dark typed jerk, so don't say you had to turn on the lights" Yeah, ok, that's completely true, but I mean to be fair, I needed something to distract myself with, and Riolu has done that in spades, so of course, instead of admitting what I had just thought to myself out loud, I then said.

"Well, isn't that rude. I feel like you completely just glossed over that whole things about you getting six nice hours of sleep. Honestly, if you're complaining about that, then maybe I should keep you up every time I happen to be awake as well. Maybe after the first couple weeks you'll appreciate just how none robotic I actually am" She seemed to think no it for a second before deciding that I was petty enough to actually follow through with that, so she just replied with.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, I just think it's a bit rude to wake me up when it's clear that it wasn't needed" That's fair, anyway, walking forwards, I grabbed my bag off the floor and opened it up and looked around in it for a second before pulling out two small bags of Pokemon food, specifically, these were made in mind for Ghost and Fighting type Pokemon. Tossing the second one mentioned at Riolu, she just rolled her eyes before opening it up, while I handed off the other to Mismagius.

I've taken to preparing the team's food in small serving sized bags that was designed for each of the Pokemon involved. Only some of them had the type flavored food in it, but I've slowly taken to start switching the normal to the specific typed food for a while now, so it won't be too long, probably, before I've become the average parent prepping custom meals for each of their kids. Which is actually surprisingly accurate now that I'm thinking about it.

Besides the fact that I'm suddenly feeling a lot older than I actually am, even on the mental level, I was currently fishing out a bag of just normal Pokemon food for myself. Because even if I'm getting higher grade for food for everyone else, doesn't mean I've suddenly forgot that I am very good at making due with stuff that is comparatively sub-par, being cheap as hell as instilled that into me to an insane extent.

To be fair on that side of things, it was pretty much my fault, but I mean, it's never actually been harmful to me in anyway, I don't care how cheap I am, I'm not one to ever skip out on something which could lead to being bad for me just because it costs a bit more, I'm not that bad about it. Anyway, back to something that is much more productive than thinking about my spending habits.

"When you two are done, we're going to head out and look for a park nearby and get everyone else's breakfast served, and to let them all stretch their legs a bit before we start on our walk to Violet City. It's going to be about a three week walk so it wouldn't hurt to not have to rush" The two Pokemon both nodded as Riolu tossed one of the last bits of food into her mouth before tossing me the bag her food was in, something I would have to refill later, and stood up out of the chair she was sitting in.

As she was doing that, Mismagius also returned her bag to me, and then float down into my shadow. After placing the items I had been given back into my bag. I reached over and picked up Riolu, who at this point was to use to it to not put up a fuss, though I'm sure she still doesn't exactly enjoy the fact that she has to be carried around in the first place. Not like I had anything on me that could change that, well I mean I could make her a small, illusioned cane or something similar I guess, but this is simpler.

Moving my mind away from that, I began to make my way towards the door, while my Ghost floated out of the shadow underneath me, and looked around at some of the other trainers that were also out in the main lobby area of the Pokemon Center at this early hour of the day. Now all I need to do is get everybody else feed and ready, then make sure I leave in the correct direction.

I'll have to go back into that canyon area for a bit, not to long, but longer than I have already spent in it. Maybe about four days, then, if my memories correct, about a week in a plains like area and then from there it's just a simple walk through a small patch of a much larger forest, only maybe about half a days walk in total. So nothing to crazy in my immediate future travel wise, though I am looking forwards a little bit to getting to a plains biome.

Those are my favorite to travel in, but that could be attributed to the fact that I spend way to much time in forests in comparison to all the different types of lands out there. Forests in this world take up a lot more land than I think it actually should, and I have no idea if that's because of some other reason or that this planet that I've found myself on its just simply bigger than my original Earth's size. Could be either to be honest, and I don't really care for to actually look into answering that. Maybe I should one day, so random thoughts like this on in specific won't come back up at some other point. Eh, I probably won't care to remember to do that.


Just an in between chapter before the first gym in johto and that's about it. I can't actually think of something to put here so I'm just going to leave it off here. See ya.
