Chapter 6:

Once we entered Route 5, we didn't expect what would happen next. A duo of reporters who immediately got a camera in my face and looked eager to speak to me.

"Oh my gosh! Well, folks, it looks like we're going to be the first to have an interview with the biggest new challenger in the Galar Region Gym Challenge, G-Max Jo! Please, would you care to tell us how you can have a Kirlia Gigantamax?" the female of the duo said, her holding a microphone and me smirking, since I wasn't the one holding it, so I wouldn't be breaking tradition.

"Well, I discovered during my trek through the Wild Area that the three Pokemon on my team at the time, those being Primarina, Delibird, and Combee, all were able to Gigantamax to catch the different Pokemon residing in the dens. But the kicker is that when I found Combee first while using G-Max Primarina, he was just a regular Dynamax Combee. So, for some odd reason, my Wishing Star is vastly different than normal ones, because it makes ANY Pokemon I have on me be able to become Gigantamax, even those who aren't fully evolved and those who you'd never expect," I smiled.

"Amazing! And what did the three other G-Max Pokemon look like?" the female reporter asked.

"Rotom, can you show to data you collected?" I smiled, him doing that by opening his Pokedex features to show the three G-Max Pokemon that I used before. "G-Max Primarina gains a second tail, both of them acting sort of like legs and her hair grows to reach all the way down to her midriff... G-Max Delibird stays the same size, but his baggy tail becomes stuffed with thousands of present boxes while he gains a little hat on his head, perfect for a Christmas party... and G-Max Combee gains many more combs on its body to become a gigantic wall of Combee and honey with two giant wings on the sides," I smirked, the reporter smirking at that.

"And what kind of special abilities do they gain in G-Max forms?" the reporter smirked.

"Well, from what I could sense from their forms, G-Max Primarina is able to call down thunderstorms and hurricanes just with a single use of her singing talents... G-Max Delibird attacks his opponents by showering thousands of presents from his baggy tail, which then restores all health to all allies. And Combee's G-Max form is so filled with honey that it literally drips the stuff from its body. It uses this honey for it's G-Max attack, which sharply reduces the enemy's evasiveness, kind of like a powered-up version of Sweet Scent," I smirked.

"Impressive! Well, you heard it first here on Galar TV News, folks! We'll await with excitement to see just what new G-Max forms we'll get to see in the near future! Good luck to G-Max Jo and all the contestants in this season's Gym Challenge!" the reporter smirked as the cameraman then cut the recording and I smiled at the duo. "Hey, while you're still here, would you care for a double battle with me and my cameraman, here?" the reporter asked, me smirking and being intrigued by that.

"Double Battle, huh? Isn't that when you use 2 different duos of Pokemon in a team fight of sorts?" I smirked.

"Correct! We'll send out our Pokemon while you choose yours," the reporter smirked, her and the cameraman then sending out a Klink and a small reptilian Pokemon that looked super cute!

"That's Helioptile, a normal and electric type Pokemon," Rotom smirked at me.

"Okay then, I'll choose Pancham and Pumpkaboo," I smiled widely, the duo then going to the fray of battle and me smiling at the duo in front of me.

"Pancham, use Low Sweep on Helioptile. And Pumpkaboo, use Shadow Sneak on Klink," I smiled, the duo then attacking their respective Pokemon and Helioptile fainting while Klink got damaged only a bit.

"Damn, come back, Helioptile," the cameraman frowned and me smirking at the reporter.

"Impressive! Klink, use Charge Beam on Pancham," she smiled, the attack hurting Pancham a bit and giving Klink some extra firepower. I then had Pancham attack with Arm Thrust, it hit three times, and Klink was defeated, me smirking at the victory and the duo smiling at me afterwards.

"Great job, G-Max Jo! I can see why your reputation precedes you!" the reporter smiled.

"Well, I only just came onto the scene," I said modestly. "All I want is to become champion of Galar so that I can have Ransei be recognized by the Pokemon League as an official region instead of an island," I smiled.

"A very noble goal to have, for sure! Good luck in your gym challenge, G-Max Jo!" the reporter smirked as I then went down the path and proceeded to link with a couple different Pokemon. I linked with Drifloon, Dewpider (a spider Pokemon with a bubble on its head), and a little Psychic kitty cat called Espurr. Of the three, I only allowed one to stay on the team, that being Dewpider. Sadly, I had to have Rotom warp Kirlia back to base to have Dewpider on the team, but it ended up being okay, since Dewpider would evolve at level 22 while Kirlia couldn't turn into Gardevoir until 30, which was a bit of a ways away from her current level of 19. But she simply gave me a small kiss on the hand before to let me know it was okay.

"Don't worry, Kirlia, I'll have you join again in the future at some point," I smiled before Rotom then sent her back to the professor. "Alright, guys, let's keep up the good work and progress," I smirked at them as we then went forward and we happened to see that Gloria had received a Ransei favorite from a nerdy looking guy. A bike!

"Hey, Gloria! I see you have a bike as well," I smiled at her.

"Oh yeah? Well where's yers?" Gloria smirked.

"Don't worry, it's right here in my bag," I smiled as I brought it out and Gloria smiled at it. "I just prefer walking to riding my bike, since my Pokemon have to keep up with me."

"I understand. I'm gonna get going now," I smiled as I went down the path a bit... before something caught me dead in my tracks whenever I got halfway across a long bridge that was over the Wild Area by at least 300 feet. Gloria went on ahead while I smelled something very powerful and very sickeningly sweet. "Do you guys smell that, too?" I asked, the group behind me looking to be holding their noses shut when they sniffed it. All but Dewpider, who didn't smell a thing. "Do you guys know where this smell is coming from?" I asked, them pointing over the bridge and Primarina gasping when she saw something and immediately calling to me.

"Huh?" I asked, looking where she pointed and I gasped at what I saw. Down on one of the trusses of the bridge, very far away from the ground and the bridge proper, was a tall white Pokemon that looked like it was cowering in fear! "Oh my gosh! We gotta rescue that poor Pokemon!" I gawked as I looked at Vespiquen. "Vespiquen, I'm going to need you to go down there and save this Pokemon, okay? You're the only flyer in our group after all," I said, the royal bee nodding and flying down to the Pokemon and me hearing it speak to the Pokemon. It then willingly let itself get carried to the top of the bridge and, after Vespiquen let it down gently, I saw that this Pokemon was actually very tall, around the same height as I was. But other than that? She was a girl and her scent was intoxicating and sickly sweet when we were this far apart!

"Good thing you had that impressive sweet scent on you, hon. Otherwise, you'd have been trapped forever," I said, the Pokemon looking at me with a tilted head before it then went to me and hugged me, which surprised me as well as my partners... but the surprise that happened just two seconds later?

"Thank... y-you..." the Pokemon spoke! It spoke perfect English and it was the shock of the century!

"D-Did you just speak English?" I asked her, the Pokemon nodding at that. "So... what happened and how did you get stuck on that bridge?" I asked her with a smile.

"Well... I was taking a leisurely stroll in my domain... one that looked vastly different than the area we are in currently... and then... a large flash of bright light... and I appeared in this bizarre new world... it's completely alien to me..." the girl said, me being surprised at that.

"So... you aren't a Pokemon, then?" I asked, Rotom buzzing to life and checking through the database he had.

"Actually, Jo, this is a Pokemon, though it is very rare! This is a Pheromosa, a Pokemon that comes from a dimension known as Ultra Space. Her pheromones are said to be so potent, they can lull any Pokemon or even human to fall into a love-struck trance upon smelling the scent," Rotom said, me being surprised at that.

"Yes... I do have pheromones... as for this Ultra Space... that was my home... I lived with humans and I learned to speak from them... but I don't know if I'll ever be able to see them again... I mean, how in the world can I go back?... Especially after seeing a world this beautiful?" Pheromosa asked, me smirking at that.

"Beautiful?" I asked.

"Yes... Ultra Space is almost always dark, only lit up by small luminous crystals... all because the humans of Ultra Space angered the ruler of the light, Necrozma, and it absorbed all of the light from our world to make itself stronger," Pheromosa said.

"Intriguing... well, would you like to join us in our adventure? It'd be kind of awkward to be new to this world without someone to guide you along, after all," I smiled looking into Pheromosa's eyes and attempting a link with her, the Pokemon looking in my eyes and me smirking as I felt our bonds link together... but when we did link, not only were we a perfect link... but I could feel it. Pheromosa was the key to my Warrior Transformation!

"Of course... I shall always be by your side, my proud knight in shining armor," Pheromosa smiled at me before she then did something that made Primarina gasp. She kissed me on the lips!

"Easy does it, Pheromosa... I'm already in a relationship with Primarina over here, after all," I smiled, the tall alien Pokemon smiling at that with her small mouth.

"It's okay... we could always share her, couldn't we, miss Primarina?" Pheromosa asked, that making Primarina smile and her then nodding afterwards with a trill. And when that happened, it just made all my other partners swarm me for attention, me smirking at the females of the group, since Dewpider didn't want to do anything.

"You all want in on it, huh, girls?" I smirked, them giving me goo goo eyes afterwards. "Hehe, okay, then we'll do just that when we get some down time. It's almost sunset anyways," I smiled, knowing I had to send someone back. And Klink decided to be that one, since she didn't really have the stuff to do sex with. "Well, when we get into Hulbury, I saw we go ahead and take turns in the private room at the Pokemon Center," I smiled, them smirking and being happy at that, which I found adorable.
