Chapter 02 – The Trial

I woke up quite early considering my normal lifestyle.

"Let's see. Today is my trial, the challenge will be to catch a Starly, Bidoof and Shinx. All three Pokemon can be caught right outside the village in the Obsidian fields." I said to myself remembering the start of the game.

"Early on I should be fine, the problem will appear soon though. I kind of doubt I will simply black out and can restart the encounter with Kleavor if he hits me with a Stone Axe."

*How should I tackle it? Throwing balms while being attacked is dangerous. *

"Shit, I need to write down everything I remember later on. The story, unique encounters, Pokemon Location and Pokemon used by the Trainers. That might very well be my lifeline in this world."

'knock knock knock'

"Good Morning Dave, are you decent?" I heard Akari asking from the outside.

"Give me a minute, I will be ready soon" I said as I was getting ready.

Soon afterwards I left the house.

Akari was waiting for me as expected, though she started blushing the moment she saw me.

"Hey Akari, good morning" I said smiling to her, thinking of ways to bully her.

*Akari sure is cute when she blushes*

"H-hey Dave. L-lovely weather we got. ANYWAYS! Today is your trial, hope you are ready" She said while trying to get a grip on herself.

"As ready as I can be. By the way, why did you come yesterday? I didn't hear what you said." I said directly looking at her while smiling.

"Y-y-y-yesterday? That's not important. Let's forget it and get going. The captain is waiting for us."

She stammered while her blush increased a few levels.

"I see, you just wanted to see me. I'm honored that such a cute girl cares for me." I said nodding

"DON'T CALL ME CUTE YOU IDIOT!" Yelled Akari before running away.

*hehe, even if I die today, seeing that face was worth it* I thought as I walked to the head quarter.

A Few minutes later.

It didn't take long to reach my destination. Directly in front on me was Cyllene's Office. Akari waiting just outside of it. Pouting the whole time.

"Finally. You took your time, didn't you Dave." Said Akari, visibly trying to hide her blush.

"Captain Cyllene? Dave is here." She called out.

"You may enter" Cyllene

The Captain stood up from her desk as soon as we entered.

"Let us get straight to it. To join us you need to prove yourself capable by going out into the Obsidian Fieldlands and catch three different Pokemon: Bidoor, Starly, and Shinx." Said Cyllene

"Three from the get go? Captain! No one has ever managed that…" Said Akari worried.

"This boy caught three Pokemon only yesterday. My Trial should be simple enough for him. Assuming he got what it takes that is." Said Cyllene.

"I will lend you one of our Basic satchels to carry whatever you need." Said Cyllene, handing me a light brown satchel.

"Well, that doesn't exactly match your style…" Said Akari sweat dropping at my current look.

"Eh, we both know I look better without clothes anyway" I said shrugging.

"Shut up!" Akari whispered to me blushing.

"Hmpf.. must be nice being young" Said Cyllene.

"Now listen Akari, I expect you to step in if anything goes wrong." Said Cyllene.

Akari nodded.

"Excuse me Dave. Please follow me." Said Lavington from the other room.

I followed him to his Office.

"Good Morning Professor. What's the matter?" I asked him, knowing full well what will happen now.

"In order to complete the Pokedex and survive this land. You absolutely must pass this trial!" He said to me.

"And as a Pokemon professor, I've got just the thing to help you!" Said Laventon befor calling out the three Pokemon I caught yesterday.

"Go on Dave! Pick the Pokemon that strikes your fancy!" Said Laventon spreading out his arms.

"These little darlings are very precious to me… but it's pain to see they also like you. Well, my boy? Which Pokemon do you want?" Said Laventon.

"Let me think a bit please." I said trying to choose.

*Cyndaquill, Rowlet or Oshawott. Their final evolutions will be fire/ghost, grass/fighting and water/dark respectively. Most Guardian Pokemon will be part Stone Type. The creation Trio will be dragon/Steel dragon/water and dragon/ghost Type respectively. Hmm. Every choice is useful, bit for now I need someone with more versatility.*

"Alright, I made my decision. I like all three but the one that could help me the most right now would be Rowlet. How about it? Mind helping me out? " I said crouching towards the Rowlet.

"Row let" It chirped as it joined me by my side.

"Great, with that you got your first Pokemon! A word of advice, pay close attention which pokeballs are empty and which ones contain a Pokemon. "

"Cyn!" "Wott!" cried the two other Pokemon.

"They look like they are cheering on their friend Rowlet. Or perhaps they are jealous. Don't worry you two. I'll have you help me with my research!"

"quill" "wott" both cried kinda depressed.

"By the bym what species has Captain Cyllene charged you with catching?" Asked Laventon.

I simply repeated to him the task on hand.

"Well, that's smashing! I bet you can finish your trial in no time." Said Laventon giving me a thumbs up, waves appearing behind him as his teeth shined bright.

"Oh Arceus, not again…" I said being stunned by the display.

"Let me give you some Pokeballs and get going. Daylight doesn't wait for us!" he said before handing me 20 Pokeballs.

"Alright, alright. Let's get going. I will wait for you at the Gate. Just don't waste too much time." Said Akari, leaving us.

"Hmm? Akari is acting strange today." Said Laventon.

"Who knows. " I said shrugging. Knowing quite well I kept pushing her buttons.

We left afterwards and moved towards the gates. I saw Akari talking to a blond guy.

*That must be Volo. I should make sure he doesn't suspect anything, even if he doesn't actively oppose me until very late. Why the hell do I hear music? And why does Akari look life she's drunk on her feet?*

-Play Justin Timberlake - SEXYBACK -

"Oh my, quite the character we got here, never saw such clothes. I'm Volo from the Ginko guild." He said to me as soon as I approached.

"Hey, I'm Dave." I said smiling, trying to reduce any information I give him to a minimum.

"I've hear about you. Fell from the sky, didn't you? Now that certainly a tale I'd like to hear…" Said Volo cutting himself off.

"Oh, and you've got a Pokemon! You're certainly full of surprises…" He said surprised.

"As a Merchant I've got to investigate unusual things. Say, how about a we see how our Pokemon stand up to one another in battle?" He asked smiling at me.

*Sexy stupid Cynthia ancestor. I know you just want to get Information on me. Very well, let me see that sexy body sweat in anticipation!*

"Bring it on." I said smirking

"I like you better and better! What a delightful find. Let's have a quick battle to get our blood pumping" He said smiling brightly.

*The hell? How can a guy be this Sexy?*

"Alright now, let's start. Come out Togepi!" Said Volo calling the fairy type baby Pokemon.

"Rowlet, show him what you got! Get some distance and use Gust!" I Yelled.

Rowlet jumped back before flapping his wings.

"Don't worry! Ignore the Gust and hit it with a Tackle!" Said Volo.

Togepi ignored the attack, receiving some visible bruises. Togepi tried to hit Rowlet with the tackle, but being a flying type allowed it to simply dodge.

"Good job Rowlet! Take your distance and fire another Gust!" I yelled.

Rowlet took distance as instructed and fired another Gust. This time Togepi was thrown airborn and landed next to Volo.

"Not bad, I think we can stop here." Said Volo recalling Togepi before getting knocked out.

"It's always good fun to have your Pokemon do battle, don't you think? And as they gain experience through battle, they'll learn more moves and grow stronger!" He said laughing.

"Pokemon are fascinating creatures. It's always fun watching them give their best." I said, agreeing to him.

"But so few people here have their own Pokemon. If only more knew how to use Poke Balls!" At any rate, let me help our two battlers recover from their little exercise."

Volo took out a few potions, healing both of our Pokemon.

"And to you, my sky-fallen friend… I present some Potions in thanks!" Said Volo, handing me some left over Potion.

*Damn, I forgot all about how useful he is before going all genocidal*

"Thanks Volo. I'm sure they will be helpful." I said thanking him

"I'm Happy to hear that. Hope to see you again. Potential Customers are always welcome after all" Said Volo before leaving.

End Music –

"Ah! Volo left, I always kind of black out when She's near me" Said Akari getting depressed.

"Oh well, let's get going. Your trial begins just a short way past the gate." Said Akari.

We left the village following a dirt road. After an hour we reached a small Campsite on the side of the road.

"This is our base camp. The last safe have before you reach the wilds. The Pokemon you are looking for are just a short walk away, I will be with you in case something happens." Said Akari

"Dave! Akari! Here you are. I was waiting for you" said a voice from one of the tents.

The one calling us was Professor Laventon.

"Professor? What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Well, you see, after you left Captain Cyllene got hold of me… She told me I bear for responsibility if something happens to you, and used her Abra to teleport me over here." He said scratching his head.

"Well, that's our Captain for you. But what do you plan to do out here Professor?" Asked Akari.

"Nothing at all! Dave here is the real deal. I doubt he will need my help." He said proudly towards me.

"…I expected nothing and i'm still disappointed. Well let's begin." Said Akari in a deadpan voice.

We left the Camp heading south.

"This is Aspiration Hill. The Pokemon you seek are all here. The Bidoof are docile, they should not be a problem. The Starly are a bit skittish, you should hide in the grass and surprise them. The problem will be Shinx. They are a predatory species which get aggressive. You will probably need to fight them. I'll be watching you from a safe distance. Just make sure to be safe" Said Akari, giving me some tips on how to handle the Trial and some Pokeballs.

The first Pokemon was Bidoof. They are quite similar to Capybaras in my original world. Quite docile and friendly Pokemon.

"Alright. Let's catch a god. May lord Bidoof bless me" I said to myself… simply walking to one of them. I didn't even throw the ball. I simply touched him with it. Not even a fight before the Pokeball announced the capture.

My next target were the Starly. I didn't find any even after searching an hour.

"Rowlet, come out." I called my Starter.

"row?" He chirped at me.

"Hey, can you do me a favor? Fly around a bit and look for a Starly. Come back as soon as you find them. Alright?"

"Let ROW!" Rowlet Saluted me before flying away.

Rowlet come back less than 10 minute late calling for me. I followed him until I saw a few Starly on the ground.

"Good job Rowlet, stay by my side in case they decide to attack."

"They run away if I approach them directly. I should probably go in stealth mode."

I entered a nearby patch of tall grass, slowly moving towards the Flying type pokemon.

*In Soviet Hisui, trainer hide in tall grass and attack wild Pokemon.* I thought to myself in a deep Russian voice.

I slowly walked towards one of the Starly. As soon as its back was towards me I throw the Pokeball. It wiggled a bit, but the Starly was unable to break out.

"Great, 2 down, 1 to go."

The last Pokemon was Shinx. In the game you need to fight it, otherwise the tutorial didn't let you catch them. On my way towards the bridge where Shynx was found, I come across a berry tree. I had my Rowlet and my newly acquired Starly fly into it and get me some ripe berries.

I was able to spot the Shynx before it saw me. I sneaked behind him and throw Rowlets Pokeball.

Shinx got dizzy from being hit on the head as Rowlet appeared.

"Rowlett, use gust to send him flying" I Yelled.

The Shinx was unable to dodge or protect himself, flying from the Gust attack before hitting the ground. I immediately throw the Pokeball. Catching the last Pokemon.

"Wow… you simply approached the Pokemon without fear and did what was necessary to catch them. You sure got guts Dave" Said Akari from behind me.

"Thanks. Akari, hope this is enough for the Captain to accept me." I said to her.

"Don't worry, the Captain might be a bit rough, but she truly cares for the people. Now let's go back and report our success." She said to me smiling.

We meet up with Professor Laventon befor going back to the village. Nothing much happened on the way back. We soon found ourselves in front of Captain Cyllene.

"Welcome back. Tell me did you catch the pokemon as instructed" Asked Cyllene.

"Yes, I got all three of them. A Bidoor, a Starly and a Shinx" I told her proudly.

"Congratulation. You passed your trial. You can hold the satchel. I must admit, you've impressed me. I set a high hurdle to judge a stranger like yourself. But you cleared it."

Cyllene stood up and got in front of me.

"This is your official Team Galactic Badge. Go to the Tailor and tell Anthe to make you the Uniform. It should be ready by tomorrow. Dismissed." She told me, dismissing.

"Thank you captain. Have a nice evening."
