Chapter 3: The Foolish Thieves

"Talk" When Issei talks or thinks

"Talk/Think" When Ddraig or a Pokémon talks

Before I begin I would like to thank Giblenator for his comment on how Issei should receive Goomy as a Pokémon. And as for the Harem I was thinking about picking certain girls from the different Regions and have some of the Pokémon that he catches turn into girls its between so in total the number of girls in the harem will be around 10-15 because I thought why not make a peerage of Pokémon. I'm not sure whether to include legendaries or not if so my only choices are Ho-oh, Merspirt for being the embodiment of emotion, and Latias. From Kanto I have decided to start off with Sabrina the physic master, Erika the Floral Master, Lorelei the Ice type Elite Four, and Anabel the Salon Maiden. Let me know whether they should be in or not. The Kanto girls are not final so give out ideas. Also the Pokémon he's going to catch in this chapter will be from other Regions.

Issei woke up and noticed two things: One, the girls were cuddling up to him like he was a teddy bear and two, there were a few Pokémon surrounding the camp but the strange thing was that they were not attacking or going through the food.

He was able to wiggle himself free of their grip and made his way to start a fire to get breakfast cooking. The Pokémon were watching him as if wondering what he was doing. One of them was a bit braver and walked over to him to hand him an ingredient he dropped. Issei smiles as he saw what it was trying to do so he grabbed both the food and the Pokémon, bringing them to the fire. The Pokémon started to get more comfortable around him and were attracted to the scent of the meal he was making. While waiting for the meal to finish he took his Pokédex to scan the Pokémon that were at the camp; he soon learned that there were Pokémon not native to Kanto here right before him. The Pokémon he scanned were a pair of Wurmples, a Nicanda, a Gligar, a Goomy, an Ekans, and a Mimikyu. The one that surprised him the most was Goomy and Mimikyu because one is from Kalos and the other from the Alola Region.

"Hey what are you doing here and have you been watching me and the girls for a while?" Issei asked.

Mimikyu came up and sat down on Issei's lap..

"Well at first it was just Goomy and myself. We were abandoned by our trainers, mine didn't want an ugly Pokémon and Goomys trainer said that he was too weak and wasn't evolving quick enough." Mimikyu said to Issei who was shocked.

"You mean to tell me they abandoned you for silly reasons such as being 'ugly' or 'too weak.' That is the most ridiculous excuse I'd heard of before in my life. All Pokémon are perfect just the way they are and eventually you will evolve and become stronger." Issei said to them who were surprised for not only could he understand them but his words filled them with courage and an unknown strength.

"T-Thank you!" They all shouted in unison.

"Maaaster, where are you and what's that smell?" Bloom said as she was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She was surprised to find that there was a small group of Pokémon surrounding her 'Master', she quickly jumped from the sleeping bag and stood protectively in front of him. "Don't worry Master, I won't let them near y-" Her sentence was cut off by Issei rubbing her head and said "They are not a threat. Stand Down, Bloom." Bloom complied but sat close to him keeping an eye on the Mimikyu on his lap.

Issei wanted to go ahead and get breakfast served so he clapped his hand together getting their attention "Alright, I imagine some of you must be hungry so Bloom go wake up Flora, Mimikyu, you and Goomy can help me get the bowls out of the bag, and as for the rest of you go to the forest and find some berries that might taste good. Let's do this." They all cheered and went about to accomplish their goals. Flora was shocked but expected that from her master and went to help set up the table. After Ekans and her group came back with the berries, Issei took them and mashed them into a juice for everyone so they can have a little boost of energy for the day. As they all ate breakfast, some of them were talking to either Bloom or Flora to know what he was like as a person and in battle.

Blooms POV

"You want to know what he's like? Well Flora and I have only been with him for a day and he seems like a good person. He doesn't see us as just partners for battle or something to help him gain fame and fortune; he sees us as a family and when he gave us our names he helped us get used to walking, running, and even trained us how to use our power when in this form."

Flora's POV

"When I see him, he reminds me of a calm sea. Bloom may see the warrior and leader in him but deep down I can see he is in deep pain. Something happened to him but he's always making sure we're okay and if we're fine, but what about his happiness. He deserves to be loved by others, and I would do anything to see him truly smile for just one moment so I can tell myself that he's happy now. I'll always stay by his side no matter what! That's who I am, I am Bulbasaur and Flora if you want to face Issei you'll have to get past me and Bloom."

Later that evening, in Viridian City

Issei was laying down in his temporary bed without Bloom or Flora next to him. Apparently, the two wanted to talk so he let them speak while he got used to his new Pokémon: Mimikyu, Goomy, Silcoon, Cascoon, Ninjask, Gligar, and Ekans. All of them really wanted to join his team so after catching them all he figured he might as well train with them so he set up a training regime that involved him working out with his new Pokémon. He made sure to spend time with each of them during the training and it paid off because both the Wurmples evolved to both Silcoon and Cascoon while Nincada evolved into Ninjask; the others made great progress today Mimikyu learned Shadow Sneak and Claw, while Goomy learned Rain Dance and Dragon Pulse, Gligar learned X scissor and Guillotine after continuously slashing at the tree with his claws, and finally Ekans learned Sludge Attack and Fling after tossing and knocking the others away when wrestled each other.

He had been sleeping until the alarm go off in the center. He bolted out of bed and quickly called out both Mimikyu and Ekans. "Listen I need you both to go through the vents to see what's going on outside take this walkie talkie with you when you see something. I'm counting on you both." Both Ekans and Mimikyu understood the situation and quickly made their way around the center trying to be as quiet as possible. Mimikyu held out a hand telling Ekans to stop and they could hear a battle happen on the other side, Mimikyu peered out of the corner and saw two people, a man and woman, standing alongside a Raticate, a Hitmontop, and a Sableye laughing at a young woman with purple hair, wearing a long sleeved purple and white shirt with yellow for the buttons and purple pants who had a wounded Kadabra and Espeon.

"What's wrong little girl, didn't you say you could beat us well I don't think your Pokémon have the same idea." The Lady taunted.

"Look just hand over your Pokémon and we'll be on our merry way." The man taunted.

Mimikyu was letting the walkie talkie record and transmit everything to Issei, who was not happy at what they were saying, "Mimikyu, buy me some time to get there, help the girl out and protect her, do not hold back with these thieves show them your power!"

Mimikyu and Ekans respond "Roger that Captain."

The lady pointed at the Kadabra "Raticate, finish that overgrown fox off with Hyper Fang!" Raticate jumps and was just about to take a bite it not for a purple blur that knocked Raticate aside. The woman looked shocked before she yelled "Whose there, show yourself!!" Mimikyu snuck behind the confused Sableye and used a double Shadow Claw on it, making it cry out in pain. "What the where did you come from?!" The guy said to Mimikyu, who only glared at him and threw a Shadow Ball at him, which sent him flying into the couch.

"Butch! You overgrown trash bag! Your going to regret that Hitmontop Rolling Kick, Raticate Quick Attack, and Sableye show them a real Shadow Ball." The lady ordered and just like that they complied. A voice rang out in the battle "Mimikyu use Shadow Punch, Ekans Sludge Attack, and Ninjask Quick Slash." Mimikyu hit Sableye with the punch made of shadows and canceled out the Shaodw Ball. Ekans fires the ball of poison at Hitmontop who was hit but was also able to land a few hits on the snake. And Ninjask used Quick Attack to close in on Raticate before using Slash landing critical damage to the rat. The lady was shocked that her and Butchs Pokémon were beaten by some kid, she looked around for the trainer until she felt someone tap her shoulder. "Hey lady, I can already see that your Pokémon are weak and mine are still ready to rock, so I'm going to make a little deal with you, release the Pokémon you stole from the center, grab your partner, leave, and never return." Issei said to her while glaring at her.

Cassidy was scared of that glare, it was even more terrifying than her boss. She looked back at her team before saying to herself "I guess this is one of those times I need to swallow my pride." She looked at Issei in the eye before saying "Deal." Issei held his hand out to her and she complied before handing the back with the stolen Pokeballs, returning her team, and lifting Butch up and supported him with her shoulder. As she was leaving, there was a question that was bugging her. "You could have arrested us, why didn't you?"

Issei shrugged and said "I do believe in showing mercy at times, and I was in a good mood. Nothing more, nothing less."

After the two thieves left, Issei went to Anabel and asked if she was okay. Anabel thanked Issei for the help and for getting the Pokémon back, "I was trying to fight but it was difficult to do so because of their cheap shots." She poured as she said this and Issei was struggling not to laugh at her before Officer Jenny came over and thanked the kids for helping the Pokémon Center.

The next day, Issei was up and his team already had their breakfast, which was on the house as a thanks for saving the Pokémon, and was about to head out until a voice called out to him "Waiiittt!" Issei turned to see Anabel panting and trying to get her breath back before she stood up and grabbed Issei's hands. "Can you please let me travel with you. I won't be a burden and I want to see the world and learn more about Pokémon's inner strength and I can't explain it but your aura makes me want to follow you. So please let me join you!"

Issei was shocked until he remember Arceus saying to never let his heart harden and thought "Maybe I can trust her." He saw the hope in her eyes before chucking while rubbing her head. "Alright you can join, but I won't force you to do something you don't want to do. We'll probably see things only few people see and we might run into some more criminals along the way, knowing that you still up for it." Anabel was shocked at what he said until she nodded her head vigorously before saying "I live for adventure and if you ever need help I'll come and help you as well."

Issei, for a moment, saw himself in her before saying "Alright, mi lady let us be off." He held out his hand and Anabel took it before saying "The suns shining and there's a big world out there and let's see it all."

With a new companion and new Pokémon with his team, Issei's journey has just begun and what will happen next find out as the journey continues.

Harem: Bloom(Charmander), Flora(Bulbasaur), Sabrina.

I was wondering if you wanted me to skip Brock and Mistys part of the story since they aren't going to join Issei on his journey. So like, hate, etc. and see you soon.
