Chapter 2: Hoopa Gone Wild!
Heather Young never thought her life would take this kind of turn.
Just earlier today, she was still herself, a 15 year-old ready to start her Gym Challenge (Don't judge, 15 was still young enough) after passing her GCSE's. But of course, her life couldn't go that easily, noooooooo, she had to bump into 'Jinny' and Evan, the Mythical jumped on her without her say-so as soon as she found out she was just about to begin her journey, and now she was going on a journey, only as a Pokemon. With NO ARMS.
Did she mention she missed her arms? She also missed her short purple hair, her green eyes, her lithe body...and clothes. She was practically naked 24/7 now. Never thought she'd miss a pair of short shorts, a pair of sneakers and a striped short sleeve.
And now she was a baby Pokemon, on the team of a Mythical disguised as a human with Evan the Impidimp, and the recently 'recruited' Oliver the Corsola. Speaking of whom...
"You can do it, Oliver!" Hoopa, back in her human form, cheered, whilst Evan just contained his chuckles, as Oliver as bumping along the ground towards the two of them across the field.
"C-Come on...forward. F-Forward!" Oliver wobbled in the air, before he collapsed completely.
"Great job, Oli!" Evan called, clapping.
"Floating is difficult..." Oliver mumbled.
Oliver had figured he was stuck in this situation anyway, so he might as well go along with it. The problem was moving with his new body. Turns out his new form wasn't the shell, rather he was the ectoplasm inside of it, eyes and mouth included. So essentially, he had to learn how to float, whilst carrying the shell with him.
"Use your core! Floating is all about throwing your core around!" Hoopa called.
"I haven't got a core! I'm practically an egg!" Oliver called out.
"And you're doing eggcellent." Evan laughed at his own joke.
Heather was exasperated. This was her life now, and they were only starting out! What was Hoopa's end goal for this? Why come to Galar? Would she stop at 6 team members? Probably not judging from that hope in her eyes she had whenever she spotted a new team member. The Budew certainly didn't trust the djinn Pokemon and was sceptical about this whole thing.
Still, watching Oliver roll forward in an attempt to float was pathetic. Hilariously pathetic.
"Jinny..." Oliver moaned.
"You can just call me Hoopa from now on. Humans can't understand you anymore." She said so nonchalantly.
"Hoopa then...how is this gonna work exactly? This whole journey?" Oliver asked, wobbling in the air.
"Want the details, huh?" She spoke as they walked/floated terribly. "Well, the good news for you guys is I'm not gonna keep you in Poke-Balls, I'm nice like that. And luckily, Poke-Balls still register you as human, so you're unaffected by them anyway."
"Thank Arceus." Heather sighed. She didn't have enough morbid curiosity to find out what being inside a Poke-Ball is like.
"You'll just follow me around, like they do in Johto." Hoopa went on. "I'm keeping to the 6 member limit though. As for any extras...I've got a plan in mind."
The Budew and Corsola didn't like the sound of that. The Impidimp laughed it off.
"Evan, aren't you fazed at all by this?" Oliver asked.
"Are you kidding? This is awesome! I'm a Pokemon!" He cheered. "I can do THIS!" He then clapped his hands together, releasing a shockwave that made the other two freeze for a good moment.
"Was that Fake Out?" Oliver asked.
"Naturally. Apparently we start out pretty low level." Evan explained. "Which means, you, Oli...probably know Tackle, Harden and Astonish."
"I know the typical Budew moves." Heather added.
"Hmm...okay..." The Corsola seemed to be processing. "How do you, do moves?"
"It's different for each move, but they all come naturally." Hoopa Chimecho'ed in. "Just listen to your Pokemon instincts."
"I just picture the energy gathering in my hands, then I just clap them together." Evan added.
"For basically all my moves, I just concentrate, and the energy wells up inside me. Take that as you will." Heather helped the new Ghost-Type out a bit.
"Mmm..." Oliver seemed to be deep in thought.
"And here we are back in Wedgehurst!" Hoopa declared, making the three Pokemon stop. "Right team! Now we just need to ride the train to Motostoke!"
"The train station is downhill, third right." Heather pointed out.
"Awesome!" Hoopa declared as she bounded down.
"W-Wait, hold on!" Oliver was still struggling to float properly.
"Hold on, I've got a solution to the problem." Evan said as he picked up Oliver, heaving. "Wow, you're heavier then I thought!"
"How much do Corsola weigh again?" Oliver thought aloud.
"Don't ask me, I'm not a Pokedex." Heather mumbled.
"Hold on, I've got this." Evan reassured him.
"Wait, what have you-"
"YEET!" Evan chucked Oliver, who screamed bloody murder as he spun through the air.
"You are awful." Heather stated.
"And you didn't stop me, which makes you just as guilty." Evan said as the duo followed after him.
Oliver's life flashed before his eyes as the world whirled around him, until he felt himself get...caught?
"Aaaand a great save by Jinny!" Hoopa declared as she held him at eye level. "Can't go having my Corsola get hurt now can I?"
Oliver frowned, (which was a Corsola's normal face) as being called 'her Corsola' was a little uncomfortable. Was there going to be some life lessons thrown into this journey?
"Success!" Evan declared as the other two joined them.
"I almost died!" Oliver screeched, his ectoplasmic branches spiking aggressively.
"Hey! He's already mastered Astonish!" Evan jabbed a thumb at him.
"Come on you lot, or we'll miss the train." Hoopa said, as she went inside, cradling Oliver.
The new Corsola had to admit, being carried felt really nice, comforting, almost...or was that just the Pokemon side of him thinking that?
"Hey there, Jinny!" A new voice appeared which made Oliver opened his eyes, not realising they were closed in content. His gaze met a young tanned skinned boy with dark navy hair and all-too recognisable golden eyes.
"Hi, Hop!" Hoopa greeted him cheerfully.
'Wait, seriously? She knows the Champion's younger brother!?' He thought in disbelief.
"Wow! A Galarian Corsola!" Hop beamed at him. "These are super rare, right?"
"Yep! His name is Oliver!" Hoopa hugged him proudly.
'So she's keeping our names.' He learned, pulling his branches back into his shell so that he didn't stab her.
"And here come Evan and Heather." Hoopa gestured as the other two joined her.
"Gotta admit, it's strange you don't keep your team in Poke-Balls." Hop commented with an ever-present smile. "But wow! You've gotta have Giratina's luck if you've already got a team like this! Still, don't think I'm gonna lose, I'm gonna be next Champion after all!"
'Cocky little shit.' Heather thought.
"Where's Gloria?" Hoopa asked.
"Who?" Oliver added.
"Another Trainer." Evan told him. "Starting out on her journey as well. Hoopa kinda made her way into the dynamic between the two of them forcefully."
"Just like her." Heather commented.
Hop grinned. "She should be coming short-"
"You two are a right pair of twats ya know that!?" Everyone flinched as a girl wearing a grey jumper and green bobblehat with a brown bowlcut appeared in the doorway.
"Is that-?" Oliver began.
"Yeah. She's great, watch." Evan smirked.
"What do ya think yer doin' goin' off so quick and leavin' me behind!?" She spoke in a really thick Circhester accent. "Me an' Scorbunny were lookin' all over the place fer ya!"
"Sorry, Gloria, we're just excited to head off, that's all." Hop said.
"Yeah, yeah, I getcha." She said, as she downed a bottle of cola in her hand.
'Oh wow...she's almost offensive.' Oliver couldn't help but think.
"So we settin' off?" Gloria asked.
"I got my ticket!" Hop flashed it.
"Same here!" Hoopa held Oliver in one hand to produce hers. "Got it in advance!"
"...Right, ticket." Gloria nodded as she headed over to the desk.
"I'm sitting in a different car, so my Pokemon can move around a bit." Hoopa informed the both of them.
"Eh? If ya say so." Gloria waved her off.
"It's exciting though, isn't it?" Hop beamed.
"Yeah!" Hoopa returned the smile.
"Ugh, you two are hopeless." Gloria sighed. "Come on then."
With that, the group boarded the train bound for Motostoke.
True to her word, Hoopa was in a car far behind the others, as Oliver rested in his shell on the table whilst Evan and Heather sat on the opposite seats.
"So, those two are...?" Oliver made conversation.
"Friends. And rivals." Hoopa said. "You've gotta have rivals on your journey, after all!"
"You just had to choose to start your experiment when the Champion's brother of all people was beginning his." Heather commented.
"That just means we'll beat them in the end." Evan relaxed with his hands behind his giant head.
"You're pretty good at blending in with humans, Hoopa." Oliver commented.
"Thanks! I teased humans a whole bunch for centuries, so I gained an idea of how they tick." Hoopa smirked.
'...Why did that sentence sound so sinister too?' The Corsola thought.
"Once we get to Motostoke, we'll register for the Gym Challenge, and grab ourselves a new teammate!" Hoopa declared.
'Said with such determination that she won't take no for an answer.' Heather interpreted in her head.
"Hey, uh, Hoopa? As our Trainer, shouldn't you get some training in once we stop? Especially since, y'know, we've got Oli new here?" Evan prompted.
"I was!" Hoopa cried, offended.
"No you weren't."
"Okay, I wasn't." She caved rather easily. "Cut me some slack, I'm a new Trainer."
"You're also a new human, practically." Heather said.
"And I've done an awesome job so far, haven't I?" She proclaimed.
"Uhh...Hoopa?" Evan nodded towards her head, as one of her horns was poking out from her hat.
"Ah!" She quickly fixed it. "Thanks. I just can't hide those."
'Guess there are some feats even Pokemon like that can't do.' Oliver figured in his head.
Just then, the four felt the train beginning to slow down.
"Are we stopping?" Hoopa thought aloud.
"No way! We can't be at Motostoke yet!" Heather said.
"Looks like we're at the Wild Area station." Evan said, looking out the window.
"Let's check it out, team." Hoopa said as she picked Oliver up.
As the group left their carriage onto the platform, they joined Hop and Gloria in the station.
"There ya ah." Gloria said.
"What's going on?" Hoopa asked innocently.
"Apparently there's some Wooloo on the track, mate." Hop jabbed with his thumb.
"What is up with Wooloo blocking everything?" Heather grumbled.
"This is a right pain!" Gloria said. "Not gonna be goin' anywhere, apparently!"
"Oh! Ohohoh! Does this mean...we can go across the Wild Area!?" Hoopa beamed.
"We ain't got much choice, unless you want to wait." Hop commented.
"This is great!" Hoopa bounced on her heels joyfully.
"Might as well use it to test out the campin' naff." Gloria admitted.
"Let's go, guys!" Hoopa ran off.
"Wooo! Wild Area!" Evan cheered.
They exited the station and found themselves staring out across a gigantic landscape with constantly shifting weather overhead, loads of giant lakes, and dense forests, with Motostoke being a dot in the distance.
The Wild Area was notorious for its unpredictable weather, incredibly powerful Pokemon, and of course the Wild Dens, as they had been coined by Professor Magnolia.
"The Wild Area..." Oliver stared across it with an unfamiliar feeling in his heart, memories of his own journey being brought up.
"I can't believe we have to travel through all this." Heather commented.
"It's okay! The opening ceremony is two days away! That's plenty of time to get to Motostoke, whilst exploring this place as well!" Hoopa grinned widely.
"Well, aren't you energetic?" The four turned around to be met with Hop and Gloria accompanying a young woman with orange hair that had silver heart pins in it, wearing a brown coat.
"Isn't that-?" Oliver began.
"Professor Magnolia's granddaughter Sonia? Yeah, we know her too." Evan almost bragged.
"Of course I am! This is so exciting!" Hoopa smiled.
"Glad to see." Sonia said as she twirled her ponytail with a finger. "I take it know how things work in the Wild Area?"
"Naturally." Hoopa puffed her chest with pride. "Me and my team are gonna give those Dynamaxed Pokemon what-for!"
"We're gonna what?" Oliver spoke up.
"Glad to see you're eager, but remember, you're still new at this. Only tackle what you can handle." She advised. "And keep an eye on time. You should be able to make it to Motostoke with plenty of time to spare, but just keep an eye to the sky."
"Ha! Like we'll miss the openin' ceremony!" Gloria said.
"I'm getting excited!" Hop said as...he got into a really weird pose. "I'm gonna find some really strong Pokemon for my team!"
"We should travel through separately though." Hoopa suggested. "We should all have our own Wild Area adventures."
"She's just saying that so that she won't look like a weirdo to them, talking to us all the time." Evan said.
"Sounds good, mate. But that just menas I'm gonna go in first!" With that, the Champion's brother took off.
"Guess we're gonna go for it, then too!" Hoopa grinned. "C'mon, gang!"
"What are we, Scooby Doom?" Heather muttered, but followed anyway as we set off.
"See ya round, Jinny!" Gloria called.
So the group headed out across the Rolling Fields, the weather overcast as they plodded along across a giant field, Pidove flying overhead and Bunnelby hopping through the grass, which the transformed humans could actually now pick up on, as the Pokemon would talk about foraging, certain favourable spots, or whisper to each other if they took notice of the four of them.
"Hey." Oliver spoke up, still being cradled. "Did you mean what you said when you said you were going to challenge the Wild Dens?"
"Obviously." Hoopa replied.
"Why? I thought you weren't gonna catch any Pokemon, just add humans." Heather bitterly said.
"Yeah, but there are other goodies you get from defeating a Dynamaxed Pokemon. Like Experience Candy, sellable items, Technical Records. Besides, just the challenge is pretty good, right?" The Mythical giggled.
"Speaking of which, perhaps its time to get Oli battle prepared." Evan suggested.
"Good idea, Evan." Hoopa agreed. "Let's see...hmmm...ah! Excuse me! You over there!"
The Mincinno that was running across stopped, and looked around for a second. "...Me?"
"Yes! Do you mind having a battle with my friend, Oliver here?" She asked.
"Um...I guess." The Mincinno shrugged (she sounded female from her voice).
"Awesome!" Hoopa set Oliver down and took a couple of steps back. "Alright Oliver, since you're my Pokemon and I'm your Trainer, you gotta listen to my commands, okay?"
"I guess that is how it works." He admitted, eyeing the Mincinno, which was scratching behind its ears, looking a bit disinterested. "But, I don't even know how to use moves yet!"
"Experience is perfect practice!" She reasoned.
"She picked a Normal-Type." Heather mumbled knowingly.
"Um...soooo...?" The Mincinno spoke up.
"Oh, you go first." Hoopa offered.
"Riiiight." The Mincinno nodded, before it began running towards the Corsola.
"Uhh, I'm having anxiety about this!" Oliver yelled, his fight-or-flight screaming at him, but he couldn't run due to still not getting floating down pat.
"You'll do great!" Hoopa encouraged.
"Hyah!" The Mincinno leapt into the air and fell tail first.
"Waitwaitwaitwait!" Oliver cried.
As the tail went right through him.
Oliver's eyes went wide. "...Aaaaa-!"
"Calm down!" Heather interrupted him. "You're a Ghost-Type! Tail Slap doesn't affect you!"
"Ah! That's right!" He wheezed. He'd forgotten that fact over the alarm bells in his head.
"Oliver, use Tackle!" Hoopa commanded.
"Tackle! Easy enough..." Tucking himself into his shell, Oliver threw himself forward, pushing the shell and slamming it into the Mincinno with moderate force, causing it to cry out and get thrown back.
"Ow! Ohhh, so Tail Slap doesn't work?" The Mincinno grunted.
'Does it not know about Type Matchups?' The Ghost-Type thought.
"Then...how about this?" Suddenly, its tail glowed with dark energy.
"Shit, it knows Knock Off." Evan commented from the sidelines.
"Must be an Egg Move." Heather said.
"Wait, that's super effective against me!" Oliver realised.
"Don't worry, you're tanky!" Hoopa said, but that did not help his nerves as the Mincinno repeated the process from before, only this time it would hit! "Harden!"
'Harden...!' Letting instincts take over once again, he retreated into his shell and let his ectoplasmic body pool inside, as he suddenly felt both his shell and slime become harder.
Still, the Knock Off still connected, and HURT. It was like his shell had been hit with a hammer. But he managed to stand his ground, despite the fact that pain like that would normally leave him rolling on the ground clutching at the pained area. Guess Pokemon had higher pain tolerance.
"Use Tackle!" Hearing the command, Oliver acted on impulse he threw his body into the Mincinno again, this time with much more force, causing it to get launched into a nearby tree, where it collapsed to the ground with a gasp of pain.
"Victory!" Evan declared.
"I won?" Oliver popped out of his shell.
"Good job, Oliver." Hoopa praised.
'Huh...thinking on it, Hoopa made me use Harden to toughen up my shell, which increased the power of Tackle.' Oliver thought. 'I guess she does know battle tactics.'
"Ow...that hurt." The Mincinno picked herself up, and with a quick shake, she looked beaten, but up, and annoyed. "No fair! My Tail Slap didn't work! Hmph!" She then ran off.
"Charming." Heather said.
"Yeah, wild Pokemon aren't so good at strategies. Forget stalling or stat reduction, they don't know type matchups." Hoopa smirked. "That's for Trainers to do."
"Hm." Oliver hummed in response, feeling a little bit chuffed over his first victory.
Just then, there was a large booming sound above them. Everyone looked up to see the skies quickly darken.
"That looks like rain." Evan said.
"Let's go into Dappled Grove, the trees should provide some shelter." Hoopa suggested.
As soon as they entered the tree-filled area, the heavens opened as rain poured down. Thankfully the four managed to find a large tree to sit under.
"Looks like we're staying put until the weather changes." Hoopa said. "So you know what that means? Time to set up camp!"
"Oh, you have one of those Camping Kits in that bag?" Heather asked.
"Oh no, not in the bag." Hoopa then pulled off one of her hoops and enlarged it, creating a portal which she reached into, and pulled out a box about the size of a Hippopotas, before returning her hoop to normal.
"What was that!?" Oliver asked.
"Oh! That's just my little pocket dimension I keep all my stuff in." Hoopa shrugged, as if it was perfectly natural. "Being around so much, you grab a few...a lot of things."
'So you just stole them.' Heather thought.
Within seconds, Hoopa had set up a dark pink tent and a small fire...which she was lighting with a flint.
"How the Distortion did you humans make fire like this?" Hoopa muttered. "Fire-Type moves are much easier!"
"Hey, wanna be a human, light a fire like a human." Heather critiqued.
"Memememe." Hoopa childishly mumbled.
Heather sighed, she really couldn't figure her out. Evan was trying to help her with the fire, and Oliver was still practicing floating. She felt her eyes wandering around, to see the Pokemon of Dappled Grove, all running around, calling out to each other. Her eyes were drawn to a group of Seedot with a Nuzleaf, who seemed to be the older brother, resting underneath a tree. Nuzleaf was a weird Pokemon, just for the fact that it had nipples. Seriously, they were REALLY distracting. And that nose too. And those thighs. That thing had a good body on-
Wait.
"Hoopa!" Heather immediately leapt at Hoopa and grabbed onto her shirt with her buds, looking at her with murder in her eyes. "Why do I find that Nuzleaf kind of hot!? WHY DO I FIND THAT NUZLEAF KIND OF HOT!?"
"You do?" Hoopa looked over at the Seedot family, who was now staring at them weirdly.
"WHYYYYYYYYY?" She hissed.
"Huh, guess the transformation changed some things mentally." Hoopa figured. "But, you're a baby Pokemon, you shouldn't have attraction yet. Soooo I guess it's just a bit of Pokemon mentality added to your human one."
"Yeah. I still find the thought of human women attractive, that Sonia was a bombshell." Evan shrugged. "But that Cherubi I spotted earlier? Damn, she was THICC."
"Lalalalala, I can't hear you!" Oliver droned out from within his shell.
Heather fell dejectedly to the ground, weeping softly. "This is my life now..."
"If it helps, all this information is really useful for me." Hoopa said.
"Oh, GOOD for YOU." Heather yelled.
"So let me know if anything changes about you all mentally, 'kay?" Hoopa coaxed. "Ah! Fire's done! Time to get dinner ready!"
"What are we having?" Evan asked.
"Well, for our first meal, since we're in the Wild Area, I'm doing a Galar staple." She said as she placed a large pot over the fire. "Curry!"
"Huh, normally we're known for Wishiwashi and chips, but okay." Evan shrugged.
"Hoopa, do you know how to cook?" Oliver asked.
"Do you doubt me? I've watched humans cook before." She said as she created another portal with her rings. "Okay, so what are we feeling? Sausages? Leek? Apple?"
"Well, big question first; any of us vegetarian?" Evan spoke up.
"Nope." "...No." Oliver and Heather respectfully replied.
"Sausages then." Hoopa decided as she pulled out a pack and dumped them in. "And we'll bulk it up with Oran Berries." She tilted her hoop, causing said berries to fall in before returning it to her wrist. "Now we're cooking."
"Do you want a hand? Not like I've got any." Heather said.
"It's the Trainer's job to take care of their Pokemon." The Mythical said as she frantically fanned the flames. "Unless, y'know, you wanna go hunting."
"You mean...for like, other Pokemon?" Oliver hesitantly asked.
"Yeah. Pokemon-eat-Pokemon world." She shrugged.
"Thanks, but I like things cooked." Evan declined.
"Are Corsola natural hunters?" Oliver asked.
"Nope! You're a Ghost-Type! You don't need to eat!" Hoopa declared as she began stirring.
"...Am I dead?"
"Technically, yes."
'Ohhhhhh...' He groaned in his head.
"If that's true, Heather over there is legally a plant." Evan noted. "Hey! Try photosynthesising!"
"If I could flip you off, I would!" She yelled.
"Actually, if there were sunlight, you technically coul-"
"Shut up, Hoopa!"
"That's no way to speak to your Trainer, especially when she's cooking dinner for you! Speaking of which..." She began dishing the curry up. "Dinner's ready!"
The group of four looked down at their respective plates.
"That looks...perfectly fine." Oliver said.
"Of course." Hoopa boasted. "Dig in, everybody!"
"Our first meal as a team together." Evan said.
"Great." Heather said, as she had to lean down to eat it, unable to use cutlery, same as Oliver.
All of them took a bite.
'Koffing Class!' All of them thought.
"What the hell, Hoopa!?" Heather gasped.
"Water...!" Evan gasped as he stuck his tongue out where rainwater was leaking through the trees.
"How did it end up like this...?" Evan wept.
"I don't know!" Hoopa cried. "I cooked it really good, stirred it really hard, and put my heart into it..."
"You burnt it, spilt it, and...well, you messed something else up!" Heather yelled.
"And I really thought I'd got cooking down pat..." The Mythical sighed. "I guess it's a lot harder then I thought."
"Well, we can't eat the rest of this!" Heather cried.
"You're right..." Hoopa opened a portal again and dumped out four cups of ramen. "How about this instead? I've got a kettle too."
"Huh...these are in date." Evan said, checking the expiration dates.
"I got a bunch of stuff in preparation for this journey." Hoopa admitted, almost shamefully.
"No complaints here." Heather said.
So they used the rainwater to fill up the kettle and boiled it to have their very Kantonian meal, but everybody was happier over the alternative as they flurped up their noodles.
"Well, our first meal together didn't exactly turned out the way I wanted it to..." Hoopa admitted. "But it's still good, right?"
"Oh, yeah." Evan nodded, finishing up his pot.
"I miss cutlery." The Budew bitterly commented.
"At least I can still taste." Oliver said.
"It's starting to get pretty late." The Impidimp noted, looking up at the sky, which was turning even darker through the rain.
"It has been a long day, hasn't it?" Hoopa reminisced over the one day.
"Too long." Heather mumbled.
"What do we do about sleeping arrangements?" Oliver asked.
"I've got that covered too!" Hoopa created another portal and pulled out several blankets. "We'll all sleep round the fire, on nature's bed; the ground."
"The ground? Really?" The Budew questioned.
"Most Pokemon don't even have that. Nor a Luxury Ball to cosy up into." Hoopa reasoned. "Look, I'm right here with you. It would be unfair to sleep in a tent whilst you all are out here."
"I can't believe this." Heather shook her head. "I wanted to sleep in a tent."
"Cheer up, Bud!" Evan cackled, making her glare at him. "You were going on a journey anyway, so you gotta get used to living rough!"
"Mmmmm…" Hoopa got herself cosy, as Evan laid on the ground, Heather wrapped herself up like a baby (which she technically was), and Oliver pooled into himself with a blanket over his shell. "Nighty-night, everybody."
"Mm." Heather hmphed.
"Goodnight." Oliver echoed in his shell.
"Don't let the bed Burmy Bug Bite." Evan quipped.
And they settled down to rest...
"Hoopa, go to sleep." Heather spoke an hour later.
"I can't! I'm too excited!" She cried.
"Try counting Wooloo." Evan suggested.
"Okay!" She then produced one of her hoops, as Wooloo started bounding out of it before looking around in confusion. "One Wooloo, two Wooloo, three Wooloo…"
"She's doing it literally!" Oliver cried as they were beginning to get surrounded by Wooloo, all asking where they were.
The first day of Hoopa's journey was definitely something.
...Yeah.
I'm reuploading a chapter of this after six months.
Can't deny this one I just lost interest. A fatal flaw of mine when it comes to Pokemon it seems. However, with the anime returning after the hiatus and Island of Armour just around the corner my thoughts turned to this.
I truly like the idea of this story, I had planned the ending and all. The problem is writing it itself. But I'm gonna try giving it another go. Because it's been six months however, I'm resetting the accepted OC's, since people have probably (rightly) abandoned this after so long.
So I'm going to try again, with the same rules for submissions still applying. Hope it goes better then last time...
