Shikamaru's Adventure: Sinnoh
-.-.-
D/C: I own nothing
-.-.-
Shikamaru stared down at the Pokémon in front of him with little to no interest causing said Pokémon to fidget nervously. Reaching over slowly, Shikamaru scratched the Pokémon making the Pokémon tense but it quickly relaxed as the young Nara continued to scratch its head.
"Would you like to go on a troublesome adventure with me?" Shikamaru asked the Pokémon.
"Chimchar!" The Chimchar exclaimed loudly and himself on Shikamaru.
Shikamaru took a step back in regain his balance and wrapped his arms around Chimchar so he would not fall. "Troublesome Pokémon…"
Chimchar began to tug, sniff and examine his new trainer to get familiar with him. Shikamaru only rolled his eyes but did not stop the Chimchar as he was already accustomed to this sort of thing.
-.-.-
"Munchlax…"
"Chimchar…?"
"Munchlax."
"Chimchar?"
"Munch."
"Chim."
"Lax."
"Char."
"Could the both of you cut it out already?" Shikamaru grumbled under his breath, he is leaning against a wall waiting for a videophone to be open. He had let out Munchlax and Chimchar for them to be acquainted with each other. Judging by Chimchar calm nature and Munchlax adamant nature, the two seemed to be getting along rather well…too well, "
"Munchlax." Munchlax snorted with a visible eye roll.
"Troublesome Pokémon." Shikamaru sighed as Munchlax began to tell Chimchar all about Shikamaru and all their past adventures. Chimchar calmly listened to Munchlax outstandingly long tales, which seem far-fetched but all more or less true. Looking over his shoulder, Shikamaru let out another sigh but this time in relief seeing that there is an open videophone.
Sitting down in front of the videophone, Shikamaru punched in a familiar number and waited. As he waited, Shikamaru glanced around the Pokémon Center. There weren't that many trainers around and the Nurse is reading a book with a total look of boredom. It was a total Snoresville…His type of place.
"Shikamaru."
Shikamaru turned his attention back to the videophone to see his mother on the other end. "Hey."
"Why haven't you called me earlier? Why are you using a videophone, what happened to your Pokegear young man." Yoshino questioned her son vehemently.
"Munchlax sat on my Pokegear." Munchlax huffed out indignantly in the background.
"Got me lost five times, twice just to get to Professor Rowan Lab and the other times looking for the Pokémon Center." Shikamaru said avoiding eye contact with his mother. "Troublesome woman…"
"What was that young man!"
"Nothing, nothing."
"…" Yoshino let out a visible sigh of relief. She was worried that something had happened to her only son but now she is annoyed that he had the gull to make her worry. "How did it go with the Professor?"
"Eh, alright." Shikamaru shrugged, he turned around and signaled for Chimchar. Chimchar tilted his head a bit before he jumped on Shikamaru perching himself on his shoulder. "This is Chimchar, my first Sinnoh Pokémon."
"Chimchar?" Chimchar looked at the videophone curiously, he tugged on Shikamaru tank top pointing at it. "Chim?"
"It's a videophone, it allows me to talk to people." Shikamaru answered him.
A smile played on Yoshino's lips as she watched the interaction between her son and his Pokémon. Even at a young age, Shikamaru had always been able to communicate with any Pokémon with such ease making it seem like it's an everyday occurrence for a human being able to understand, verbally, a Pokémon. Including at how fast Shikamaru is able to befriend the Pokémon, Chimchar.
"What's the next city you are heading to?" Yoshino cut in seeing a no end between the question and answers between Shikamaru and Chimchar.
"Er…" Shikamaru pulled out a map from his sling bag. "Jubilife City."
"I'll have a Pokegear and a couple of other things you might need to be delivered there by the time you get there." Yoshino said sternly. "You better keep me updated in your adventure young man."
"Yes, mam." Shikamaru sulkily to his mother.
"MUNCHLAX!" Munchlax pushed Shikamaru off the seat, also causing Chimchar to go down with Shikamaru, and seated himself on the chair to speak to Yoshino. "Munchlax, Munch, Munchlax!"
Yoshino stared blankly at the Pokémon before she shook her head at Munchlax behavior. Out of all the Pokémon Shikamaru has, Munchlax is the only one that can rile him up from his lazy and unenthusiastic attitude. She saw Shikamaru arm popped into sight with a poke-ball in hand, he pressed the button and a red beam shot out returning Munchlax into his poke-ball.
Huffing out, Shikamaru slowly stood up with a terrified Chimchar clinging onto him and sat back on the chair. "…Troublesome Pokémon. How's dad?"
"He's out tending to the herd." Yoshino replied, her expression soured.
"Oh right." Shikamaru began to think of a way to hang up before his mother started to rant. "I have to go….Love ya, call you so-"
"Munchlax!"
"Munchlax also sends his regards." Shikamaru said with an obvious annoyance in his voice. "Later mom."
"Behave and watch yourself out there." Yoshino said snappily and ended the call afterward.
Shikamaru stared at the blank screen, he slowly spin around the chair to stare down at Munchlax. "How many times do I have to tell you to stay in your poke-ball…"
"Munchlax." Munchlax shrugged picking his ear without a care.
"Why do I even bother?" Shikamaru muttered under his breath, he took out both of his Pokémon's poke-balls and returned them. He slowly headed towards the exit of the Pokémon Center. "Next stop…Jubilife City"
To be continued…
