Aloha everyone, Greninjaten99 here with another chapter. I know I said it will take me a while but I am on break for three weeks and with the help of SisyphusWorker, I was able to get another chapter up and running. So thank SisyphusWorker for this story getting another chapter sooner than expected. Anyways enjoy the chapter.
"Why do I keep running or falling into something when I go through a portal!", I pretty much yelled as I nursed my injured nose. Apparently, I walked into the wrong side of the portal again, hitting at tree with my face, while everyone else walked through the correct side.
'Jake are you ok?' I mentally heard Rebecca say. she landed on my shoulder and looked at my once again damaged nose. 'you really need to know which side is the safe side of the portal'
"Well it's not my fault no one tells me which side is the correct side to go through." I said in frustration. "But enough of that, we have a job to do from Arceus himself, and a new life to live." I looked around the area and we were where I believe to be right outside the North entrance of Santalune City.
I was about to celebrate when I remembered something, "Where is Diancie?" I looked all around me but couldn't find her. I was about to panic since I thought I have already failed my assignment when I heard a branch snap above me.
I looked up and Diancie fell right on top of me. 'I am here, good thing I landed on something soft', she answered. She looked around and finally looked down and paled. 'I-I am so sorry, please forgive me.' Diancie said in fear, getting off of me while tears were starting to form in her eyes.
I sat up and placed my hand on Diancie's shoulder and said, "hey, it's ok. It is better that I get squashed and you not getting hurt than you falling and probably braking something when you hit the ground, OK?"
She looked at me with concern in her eyes, 'O-OK, a-are you h-hurt in anyway?', she asked with worry.
"No, just a little bruise on my stomach, it will go away soon." I said as I got up. "Anyways, you both ready to go into Santalune City?" I asked.
'I-I guess so', Diancie stuttered.
'Ready when you are Jake.', Rebecca replied, flying onto my shoulder.
We walked into the city looked around it until I again remembered something, "Hey, I just realized that I have not heard you say anything during the conversation with Arceus when he gave me the assignment."
'Oh well I didn't want to interrupt, and everything was going too fast that I didn't know what to say.', Diancie answered, scratching the back of her head.
I turned to her, made eye contact and said, "Well I want you to choose if you want to go or not. If you do want to go, I will do my best to get you ready to defend your kingdom and yourself, if you don't want to, I will escort you back to your kingdom. It is your choice, not mine."
She looked at me, then at Rebecca, then back at me before saying, 'I am not sure, this is all so sudden. May I have some time before I make a decision?'
I gave her a smile and said, "Of course you can. While you are thinking, would it be alright if we go into the city to get some things?"
'Yes, that will be alright, it might help with my decision.', she answered.
I nodded while getting up and started to walk to the city. I looked to my right and saw that Diancie was bouncing beside me. Past her I saw that there were Fletchlings flying by searching for berries to eat. To my left I began to see other Pokémon on the ground, climbing trees and digging. The Pokémon that were there were Bidoofs, Bunnelbys, and surprisingly I saw one Pikachu running by.
I looked ahead and saw a sign, when we got closer, we could see what it said, *Leaving route 3, entering Santalune City*. "well at least we know what side we are coming from.", I said with a smile.
Before we walked into the city, I turned to Diancie saying, "Hey Diancie, is it alright that you make a few diamonds so that we can buy the supplies we need to get to the next town?"
Diancie looked at me confused saying, 'Uh, OK.' She put her hands towards me and started the process to make the diamonds. By watching them being created, I was actually fascinating to see diamonds take shape. At first nothing happened, then a pink aura appeared between Diancie's hands and suddenly a diamond popped into existence. I caught the diamond before it hit the ground, not paying attention to the other diamond hitting my head.
'Ouch, that has got to hurt.', Rebecca said, looking at where the diamond hit my head.
'Wait, what happened?' Diancie asked.
"Nothing, just one of the diamonds hitting my head, nothing serious." I said smiling while rubbing the spot where my head hurts.
'I'm sorry Jake. It won't happen again, I promise." Diancie says with slight panic.
"It's OK, you didn't mean to do it so I forgive you." I said grabbing the other diamond, "now let's go get some supplies."
We walked into town and got some glances heading our way, but I didn't mind. It would be awkward seeing a person wearing two jackets, one of them ripped, walking with a duffel bag and a back pack, with a creature that no one has ever seen, and a diamond like Pokémon.
I looked around and found the Pokemart and walked in. inside were shelves of medicine, toys, Pokémon equipment, anything that a Pokemart would have.
I walked up to the counter and the clerk said, "welcome to the pokemart, what can I do for you."
"I would like ten poke balls, some potions, three antidotes, and three paralyze heals please." I said to the clerk.
The clerk went to the back of the store and came back with all the stuff I requested, "OK, that will be 3,800 poke dollars." The clerk said with a smile, "You're going on a Pokémon adventure, aren't you?"
I looked at him with a smile saying, "Yes, this is actually my first time in Kalos and I am happy to be here."
"First time huh, well where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?", The clerk asked politely.
"Johto, it's a great place have you ever been there?", I asked while Diancie was giving me a confused look.
"No, I have not been there. What is your favorite thing about Johto?", the clerk asked.
"Well my favorite place was the Ruins of Alph, I did a little research on the writings there and it was quite fascinating.", I said casually while Diancie looked even more confused.
"Well anyway like I said, all this is 3,800 poke dollars.", says the clerk.
"Is it alright if I exchange them for two diamonds? I asked the clerk.
"Well yes, I can do the exchange it's just going to take a while to give you the proper amount back.", answered the clerk.
"No need, you can keep the change, that alright?" I asked.
"Why yes, that is very generous of you, oh and since you bought ten poke balls, you also can have a Premier Ball for free.", the clerk offered.
"thank and have a great day.", I said As I put all the stuff in my back pack and was about to walk out the door.
"Wait I just had an idea to repay you." The clerk said as he walked up to me, "you seem to have quite a lot of stuff to bring on you adventure. I heard rumors that the Gym leader of Lumiose City is inventing a way to have a back pack hold more equipment for traveling, I'll give him a call and tell him that you are on your way there and could use such equipment. What do you say?"
I turned to him and said, "thank you, I will take up on that offer. It will really help."
"You're welcome, hope you have safe travels." Said the clerk.
"I will, bye." I said as I walked away.
'Why?', Diancie asked.
"Why what?" I asked back.
'Why did you lie to that nice man about where you came from and your favorite place there?', Diancie asked.
I scratched the back of my head as I said, "Well it wasn't exactly a lie, the first Pokémon game I played was Pokémon Heart Gold, which had the Johto region in it, and I went to the Ruins of Alph in the game, and actually studied the writings on the walls, and learned how to read the unown. Also, who would believe me that I came from a dimension where there is no Pokémon?"
Diancie looked away with a look of understanding, 'So are you going to lie to everyone?', Diancie asked.
I looked at her with a smile, "No, not everyone. Only a certain few I will tell the truth."
I hear Diancie give a sigh, saying, 'OK, I have made my decision.'
I stopped and turned to her, kneeling down, "OK, what is your decision?" I asked.
Diancie looked at me straight in my eyes and said, 'I will come with you, so I can get stronger to defend my kingdom. But if it gets out of hand, we are heading straight back to my kingdom. Deal?'
I smiled and put my hand up for a handshake, saying, "Deal.", she looked at my hand then back at me then raised her hand and brought it up to my hand. we sook hands, sealing the deal.
I got up and started walking when Diancie looked at me asking, 'So where to now?'
I looked back at her, then looked forward saying, "Lumiose City. That is where we are going."
Meanwhile at the Hall of Origins….
'Lord Arceus, a word please.", Deoxys says while floating to the throne.
Arceus looked towards Deoxys and noticed that he was panicking. Arceus said, "Yes what is it?"
'It appears we have a problem, you remember the human that came from another world?' Deoxys asked.
"Yes, I remember, what is the problem?" Arceus asked.
'Well apparently I forgot to mention something after I scanned him', Deoxys said.
Arceus was frightened, "what is it? Is he a threat?"
Deoxys shook his head saying, 'No, the problem is that all Pokémon are a great threat to him.'
"What do you mean all Pokémon are a great threat to him?", Arceus asked.
'Apparently according to my data, all humans from his world are by far the weakest creature on record against any attack that a Pokémon uses.' Deoxys said.
Arceus thought he knew what this meant, but he needed to make sure saying, "Meaning?"
Deoxys sighed, 'Meaning that he can die from even the weakest of moves.'
What did you think, did you like it, did you hate it, let me know by posting a review. Also, I want you guys to choose three Pokemon to join Jake's party, I have already chosen three, but I need help on the next three. Tell me what Pokemon should be in Jake's party. Have a great day. P.S. does anyone know how to put a line to separate words, like a footer? If you do, let me know on a private message thank you.
