I Don't Own Pokemon


It was about a day past the time that I had meet Absol, and in that time I'm pretty sure I've figured out how her disaster sense works. It took a bit of time but after a couple of encounters with some zubat that didn't get the memo to leave me the hell alone, I noted how Absol was reacting to it all. Her body language became a bit tense a bit before the swarms and after some talking I let her now to not worry about the bats, as they were just a bit of an annoyance.

Though thinking of annoyances, I noted that every time I was getting annoyed by said attacks, Absol would suddenly tense up again like another disaster was about to come up, but nothing happened. So I'm like sixty percent sure that Absol can sense the probability of something happening, so I'm more likely to do something when I'm annoyed, the probability goes up, and because I'm a 'walking disaster' the effect hits Absol a bit harder than it would probably if it was another person doing what I thought about doing.

That might not be completely correct as I haven't spent all that much time actually thinking on the topic but it would make sense, I'll probably think about it more at some other point but right now I'm more focused on walking out of the cave with my eyes closed because very dim to zero light for over a full day isn't a good thing when you walk out into what seems to be midday sun light.

After a moment, I slowly blinked my eyes open and walked out a bit further to let my team out from the cave as well, hearing the sounds of my team groaning as their eyes tried to adjust to the sun light, I wondered if I should have warned them more than I did, which was just a passive remark to shield their eyes when they walk out. Well, nothing I can do about that now, so with that, I looked around for a moment and noted that I seemed to have come out right in front of a water well.

It had a slowpoke laying on it which is an interesting enough fact to figure it's probably the Slowpoke Well. Though the fact that the ground seemed dry enough that I could see dust floating in the air didn't seem to be a good sign, usually the ground over a underground pool of water is decently watered well enough to sustain plant life. So a drought is probably happening at the moment, which doesn't make much geological sense, after all, there's a forest not to far from here and I don't remember hearing anything about any plant life over there dying.

Well, I'm not much of an expert on the subject to be fair so I have no idea if what I'm saying is accurate but it doesn't seem like the thing that would normally happen. Maybe a moltres was flying by recently and accidentally hit the town. I mean, it could happen, I've certainly seen weirder at the very least, but whatever, it's not exactly my problem at any rate. Maybe I'll use Rain Dance on the way out, it won't last long but I'm sure it couldn't hurt.

Oh well, stuff to do later at any rate, right now I still need to get Absol to a Pokemon Center, so with that I looked over my shoulder and noted the fact that everyone seemed to have their eyes back to being properly adjusted to the light, with that I turned and began to walk forward while looking around to see if I can spot the town from here. After all while Azalea might not be a city, for a town it's decently big.


"Hello, I need to have this absol checked up on, she has only recently been able to get a proper constant supply of food to eat, and I would rather make sure that she's all alright and doesn't have any long term effects from lack of food" The nurse looked at me for a moment before looking over at Absol, I noted that she was looking pretty angry at the moment, probably because of her condition. Though after a moment her eyes soften, more than likely to not scare the Pokemon.

"Well, I'm certainly glad you brought it here, come on then Absol, lets get you checked up on" Said Pokemon looked up to me with a question written on her face so I just gave an encouraging smile and nodded. With that the two of them walked back to the back of the Pokemon Center were the actual healing area were located. With that taken care of, I turned and was going to find a place to sit when a voice rang out.

"Oh my god! Kyu! I'm a huge fan!" The kid that had spoken was still behind me, so I allowed myself to close my eyes and frown in annoyance for a moment before opening my eyes back up and put on a neutral looking expression and turned around.

"Oh, neat" It wasn't exactly my best but I know that when confronted with bored apathy usually people understand that I really would rather not talk to them, it doesn't seem to be the case here as he just grinned and said.

"Sorry it's just that I've been following your battles for a while now, you're like really awesome you know. I hope when i get my first Pokemon I can be just as great of a trainer as you are!" Well, I have to say, I've had my fill of fanboys before, which is so bloody weird, but this I have to say might be reaching hero worship levels bad of fanboying, which is not good. My life isn't really something a person should aim for, after all, I've been told it's quite weird.

"Well, I wish you luck then, though I recommend that you don't follow to close to my path, I'd rather keep the dangers of criminal organization fighting to myself personally" He laughed at that, which I guess is fair from a dry humor stand point, but it was more of actual advice I was giving. I'd much rather not be the reason for a spike of idiotic kids thinking they can be heroes. Especially when the person their emulating it far from a hero himself.

"Don't worry, my parents would ground me for like forever if I thought about doing that, no, I want to be just as a good of a trainer as you are! Maybe I'll also start coordinating as well, I heard a rumor that you've started doing that as well" How? I've only done one contest at this point and on the other side of the bloody world, how the hell has word about that reached over here? Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about accidentally making a vigilantly via my bad luck.

"Good to know, the whole crime fighting thing is a bit overrated if you ask me personally. It's just some battling, death threats, that get really stale over time, and a lot of annoying paper work and even more annoying attention from it all" He laughed at the end of that but I think my comment on death threats spooked him a little bit which is good, a bit extra warning against some of the more weirder things I've done is a good idea.

"Wait really? But I'd think that you'd really like the attention! I can't wait to be recognized as a great trainer, one day an even greater trainer then you are!" Kids, they bush past the whole thing about people wanting to kill me at multiple different points, and instead latch onto the fact that I'm not one for all the spot light.

"Eh, for me the fame's annoying to be honest and not something I really like all that much, I'm not much one for the spot light, it's just that I have a bad habit of being quite note worthy so it happened anyway, of course it's just one of those things that varies from person to person, personally I'm on the side that prefers anonymity" He seemed to think about it for a second before deciding that he didn't understand my logic, because kids are brats that don't respect their elders, damn that makes me sound like a bitter old man.

"But what's the point of being the best if no one talks about it?" Well that sounds like self worth issues if I've ever hear it, well not really, but it's clear this kid is a person that wants to be acknowledge by his peers as someone of notable skill. Nothing wrong with that to be fair it's just that I'm the type of person that gives less than a damn about what people think about me.

"I don't care to be honest, everyone can think what they want about me, it doesn't change who I actually am as a person. All I care is what I think about myself, and if I'm satisfied with what I've done and accomplished, if others want more or less from me then, well, to bad, I'm a trainer because I love both my Pokemon and battling, and that's all there is to it for me, all that fame stuff just kind of happened along the way" The kid seemed mystified by that which I think is kind of strange to be honest.

"You're cool" I just blinked before the kid broke out in a big grin and turned and ran out of the Pokemon Center, watching as he did that, I wondered if I should be curious about that but after a moment decided that it wasn't worth the effort to care and instead turned and wrote down my name for a rented room for the night. That's when Riolu, from atop of my shoulder commented.

"Wow, you were almost nice to that kid" I raised an unseen eyebrow at that, as I turned and began to walk down the hall to the rooms that could be rented so I could put some of my things down.

"I am capable of being nice you know, plus I feel like ghosting that kid would have just lead to some shouting, and to be honest, surprisingly, I don't like getting screamed at" She just snorted at my completely true and accurate statement, which I think is a little rude.


"Your absol is fine, thankfully you seemed to know that over eating wouldn't be good for it's stomach so a couple more days with lit meals then it'll be fine to start eating proper full sized meals" I just nodded, correcting her on the fact that Absol wasn't one of my Pokemon would have just been pointless, there wasn't a reason to do so, so simply put I didn't.

"Thanks, that's good to know" She just smiled before turning and walked to the back while Absol walked up to me and just stood around like she wasn't sure what to do at the moment, which is probably true, as she probably doesn't know the area around here that well.

"So, what do you think? Want to stick around for a few more days and get completely fixed up and get some proper food, or if you want I can help you to the nearby forest, I'm sure you'd be fine there. It's up to you about what you want to do, but I figured I would give you a few options" Personally, I wouldn't mind if she stayed around for a bit longer, after all, she's gotten along pretty well with everyone on the Team, even with Zekrom, well after a small panic on her side, but I feel like that's a fair reaction all things considered.

"I think I'd like to stay with you for a while Omen" I got to say 'Omen' is probably the weirdest title a Pokemon's given me, and to be honest, it's probably the most insulting, since a disaster Pokemon literally calls me a bad omen. I don't mind to much considering it does kind of make a sad amount of sense, at least more sense, sort of, than say 'Captain' but still.

"Glad to have you then Absol. Let me know if you ever want to do something if you get a bit bored, I'm sure Servine wouldn't mind a training partner that's on a more even level with him. If not then it's up to you, I don't particularly mind, I mean Riolu doesn't do jack and she's still around so don't worry about having to do something" Riolu smacked me on the back of the head for that, but I just ignored her with the hours of practice I've had in doing so.

"I wouldn't mind battling I guess, I haven't ever done it before so I'm not sure if I'd like it or not" I nodded at her while my mind was running through all the moves I remember that her species can learn naturally. She'll be a mostly if not a completely psychically attacker if she does decide to battle, it'd be interesting to make a battle style for her, as it would have to differ quite drastically from what Lycanroc, the only other almost only psychically attacking Pokemon on the time.

"Like I said, it's up to you, if you want you can watch the Gym battle I'll have probably tomorrow with the gym leader of this town. From there you can see if you want to battle for not, and if it's not, then maybe you can try your hand at coordinating, I'm sure Servine wouldn't mind having another Pokemon more interested in that than normal battling" She nodded and seemed to think it over, while I motioned her to follow me as I began to make my way back to the room I had rented.


Nothing crazy as far as chapters are concerned, Kyu talked to a fanboy, Absol got healed up, and there is the high possibility that she'll be joining the team. To be fair I think every time I've introduce a wild Pokemon they've joined Kyu's team, so it's not like this isn't completely unpredictable, more like completely predictable to be fair. Anyway, See ya.
