A Job of Normal
The day finally begins with the Normal Type Pokemon Camp, Ash and Alice are already at the doorway until three people arrive, they are Nate, his sister Rosa, and a girl named Naomi.
"Nate, I didn't know you have a sister." Ash replies.
"She joined a lot of clubs, that's why we didn't meet often." Nate says.
"So you are Ash Ketchum, the one who has been hanging out with my brother during these days." Rosa says. "But it feels weird to see your stern face...it seems like we have done something wrong."
"It's not your fault." Naomi says, "If anything, those people are the ones to blame."
Naomi is in the same class as Ash and Alice, so she knows about what those mean people have done thanks to Eve. Ash says, "So we're going to Lumiose City for our first class. Now please follow me so we can use the teleportation device."
When Ash and Alice bring three students into the Principal's Office, with Aurora's permission, they manage to enter the secret room and go to the first teleportation device. After some time of teleportation, they are now in Lumiose City.
"I thought the devices can only teleport us in a short distance, but I can't believe we're in a different region..." Rosa says.
"Let's say I know some great engineers who helped me with it." Ash says while opening the door, "Welcome to my house, this will be the place where you're going to train your Pokemon and study in the camp."
This house is just like a normal house, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom. But what makes them surprised is the attic, there are a lot of books and a desk that is facing the window, which shows the view of the whole Lumiose City.
"Wow...this is really nice. Just think about studying here with the great view in front of you." Naomi says.
"The reason I purchased this house is because of the view, it gives me the energy to study and learn." Ash says.
Alice says, "But there really are a lot of books..."
Nate looks around the bookshelves and he gasps, "No way! It's the Legendary and Mythical series from the author Reukra Genome! I can't believe you have a full set of his works here! Not everyone is capable of purchasing every single one of them!"
"Legendary and Mythical? What is so special about the series?" Naomi asks.
"They are novels that tell a story about a hero who manages to meet every single one of the Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. They are serialized, and they have 25 of the stories finished right now." Rosa replies. "I think my brother and I are fans of Reukra's work."
Alice says, "If I remember correctly, the next book is going to be titled Arceus and the scattered plates. I have been looking forward to that one."
"Indeed, I wonder what kind of plot will it be? I mean, the 3rd book: Manaphy and the Underwater Kingdom, tells how the main character hatches the Manaphy egg and explores the Underwater Kingdom. And in the 12th book: Regigigas and the Moving Island, tells how the hero accidentally wakes up a Regigigas and how it tries to move the island away to stop the war. All of them are great stories." Nate says.
"You really like this story much, huh?" Ash says as he looks at the time, "Nate, if I remember correctly, you wanted to be a novelist in the future, right?"
"Yeah. I really like writing stories." Nate says. "I want to be famous and enjoy writing like Reukra Genome."
Ash nods as he turns on his computer, and he opens a Word File that says: Arceus and the Scattered Plates. Ash says, "Here you have it, this is the unfinished draft of the story."
"No way! You even got the draft from Reukra Genome himself?" Rosa asks. "Does that mean you know Reukra Genome really well?"
"Maybe you're too focused on the words that you didn't see my face, I guess." Ash says.
All four of them look at Ash, and they gasp in surprise, Ash is not having his own face, but rather the face of Reukra Genome. Naomi asks, "Wait, Reukra Genome?"
"So all this time, we were talking to you?" Nate gasps. "But where is Ash?"
"Reukra Genome is fictional, a pen name, and one of my disguises." Ash says while changing his face back.
"No way...so you mean all 25 books over there...they are written by you?" Alice asks.
"As the RPA Company president, it is not hard to find publishers to help me out. And traveling around the region and meeting all kinds of Pokemon really give me a lot of inspiration to the stories." Ash says. "And just as you see, this is the draft of my next story, I was thinking about finishing it this week considering that there is not much left."
"I'm the biggest fan of your works, can you tell me what is the title of the next story? Please?" Nate asks.
"Usually I reveal the next story after publishing the current one, but I guess I don't mind telling you about it." Ash says. "It is called Tapu Bulu: The Ula'ula Guardian."
"Oh my god! It's the sequel of the 5th story Tapu Koko: The Melemele Guardian, and the 18th story Tapu Lele: The Akala Guardian!" Nate gasps. "I can't wait to see what's going to happen with Tapu Bulu!"
Naomi asks, "So you really meet all the Legendary and Mythical Pokemon? I mean, you can't write them without having a decent knowledge about them."
"You're right about that. And the truth is, I have met all of them, and every story I wrote, I had discussed with the corresponding Legendary or Mythical Pokemon to write the story."
"That's amazing." Alice says while turning to the girls, "So Nate wants to become a novelist, what about you two? What do you want to do in the future?"
Rosa says, "I want to save all kinds of Pokemon from evil trainers who keep abusing them."
"As for me, I think I want to be a famous Pokemon stylist, just like Natasha Tong." Namie says as she shows a fashion magazine. "That's her, and this is an article about how she manages to style 10 Furfrou in a day at the ranch close to here."
Nate says, "I have heard of her before, I think she is a traveling stylist, no matter how far she is, if you call her for styling, she will always arrive and does her best to style your Pokemon."
"And they are actually really amazing." Namie says, "I always wonder if Natasha Tong is just like all the Officer Jennies and Nurse Joys in the world, no matter how far the call is from, she would always go there, even in a different region."
"I guess it is maybe because of teleportation." Ash says. "I mean, if you have a powerful Psychic Type Pokemon, you can basically travel anywhere you want."
"Don't tell me that Natasha Tong is your disguise as well." Rosa says.
"Of course not." Ash says. "I'm a male, and Natasha Tong is a female. I did call her for styling some of my Pokemon, to be honest. And my Pokemon really like the way she styles."
"I think that's good to hear." Alice says. "Natasha Tong might not be Ash's disguise, but Ash is not the only one, since I think it is fair considering he just revealed to be Reukra Genome."
As they see Alice's face, they gasp as it is the same face as Natasha Tong right now. Rosa asks, "So Natasha Tong is actually Alice?"
"Okay, Ash is really giving me a lot of surprises, but Alice as well?" Naomi asks.
Alice changes her face back to normal and says, "My mother is a famous fashion designer and a model, so she will often ask stylists to come to our house to style her Pokemon for the stage. After observing them, I decide to try it out myself and that's why I decide to disguise myself and become Natasha Tong."
"That is a good thing to hear..." Nate says. "But I just realized, this camp is supposed to train our Pokemon right? Are you sure it will be fine to just chat like this?"
Ash says, "Don't worry about it. Alice and I actually plan to give each of you personal interviews about what kind of jobs you want to do in the future. The training will begin in the afternoon. I don't want you to be pressured about it."
"I guess that's reasonable." Rosa says.
And after that, Alice decides to teach Naomi and Rosa how to style Pokemon, while Ash has Nate help him out with the novel, all three of them are enjoying what they're doing and they are a little sad that it has to end during lunchtime.
After having lunch in Lumiose City, they head back to the house and they are now outside on the battlefield. Ash says, "Now it is time for our training. We will be training our Pokemon for 2 hours. Alice and I each will be using 10 Pokemon to help you with your training."
"Wait, I know you told me that you have 180 Pokemon, but Alice?" Nate asks. "Aren't you an Ice Type Elite Four member?"
"I am, however, like Ash, I also have 180 Pokemon in my possession." Alice says.
"Seriously...this is ridiculous." Rosa gasps.
Ash's Normal Type Pokemon are Fearow, Snorlax, Miltank, Castform, Ambipom, Bouffalant, Furfrou, Silvally, Obstagoon, and much to everyone else's surprise, Arceus. As for Alice, she has Meowth, Tauros, Blissey, Zangoose, Lopunny, Porygon-Z, Cinccino, Touocannon, Dubwool, and Meloetta.
"You even have Arceus and Meloetta?" Naomi asks.
"Of course we do." Ash says while turning to Arceus, "Arceus, sorry for calling you out, it's just that I want you to train with the other Pokemon."
"You don't need to worry about that." Arceus says, and everyone is surprised to hear the Pokemon talking, Meowth adds, "He's not the only one who can talk."
"No way...Meowth can talk as well." Nate says.
Ash asks Alice, "So I have to guess that after I destroyed Team Rocket, you manage to keep Meowth?"
"Yeah, and I guess that the Tauros was yours, right?" Alice asks. "There were supposed to be 29 of them...but I'm sorry that I didn't find them all."
"It's fine." Ash says while petting the Tauros, "I'm glad you're getting along well with Alice."
While training, Ash and Alice's Pokemon really help them a lot, and Nate, Naomi, and Rosa's Pokemon have become stronger. Once they are done training, Ash and Alice are giving each a lecture about the Normal Type that isn't in the textbooks.
Once the class is over, Ash and Alice know that it is time to return to Sevestar Island. Ash asks, "So what do you think you've learned in class?"
Nate says, "Even we are having a lot of surprises during this camp, but to us, it feels really normal."
Rosa says, "Indeed. I'm glad that we manage to learn more than just Normal Types. Training with your Pokemon is so cool."
Naomi nods, "I have to agree that as well, I really like the new information that we learn from the final lecture."
"I'm glad that you all like it." Alice says as they all head back to the Sevestar Region.
And this will be the first Normal Type Chapter, as you can see, I reveal Ash and Alice's disguises, unlike Sevestar Prince Darker Version, Ash and Alice's disguises are going to be different. I hope you like this chapter.
