"I TOLD YOU NOT TO MESS WITH THEM!" Shikamaru screamed in terror as he and Munchlax ran throughout the entire route towards the main gate of Jubilife City. A giant herd of random Pokémon on their heels attacking them, their eyes filled with obvious anger and irritation.
"MUNCH, MUNCHLAX!" Munchlax cried out running alongside Shikamaru. The Pokémon had his arms filled with wild berries, which he swiped from the wild Pokémon.
"JUST GIVE UP THE BERRIES!" Shikamaru screamed dodging an attack saving his hair in the process.
Munchlax began to cry at the thought of having to give up the berries, which he stole, back to the Pokémon chasing them. Seeing, as there was no escape, tearfully, Munchlax threw all the berries into the air. This action caused all the wild Pokémon to pause in the realization of what is happening and quickly stopped chasing to quickly gathering the berries.
In one final sprint, Shikamaru and Munchlax managed to make it to the main gate of Jubilife City and stopped at the nearest lamppost to get a breather. Shikamaru had one hand on the post and the other on his knee, leaning forward attempting to catch his breath. Munchlax plopped onto the ground face downward wheezing.
"Munchlax?"
"Chimchar is in his poke-ball…being well behaved, unlike someone I know."
"Munch, Munch, Lax…"
Shikamaru let out a sigh, he leaned away from the lamppost and plopped himself next to Munchlax. "You shouldn't let anyone, let it be Pokémon or a human, get to you about your size."
"Munchlax…."
"Yeah, I know. They had it coming." Shikamaru only shook his head dully at Munchlax words. "You ended up putting us in danger because of your actions. Yeah, I get that they judged you harshly, but what you did was uncalled for."
Munchlax sniffled; he turned his head up to look up at Shikamaru with teary eyes. "Munchlax, Lax?"
"That's better." Shikamaru scratched Munchlax head to relax the tearful Pokémon. "We'll go back tomorrow and fix things."
"Lax?"
"… You are a horrible Pokémon…." Shikamaru deadpanned slowly reaching into his back pocket where he usually keeps his wallet. His only response from Munchlax is a loud laugh at his trainer's complaint about a completely different reason than the one they were just conversing. "Come on, we have to get to the Poke-Center before it closes."
Munchlax raised his hands up towards Shikamaru pleading. "Munchlax?"
"I am not carrying you." Shikamaru scoffed, rolling his eyes at Munchlax request. His eyes narrowed at Munchlax when the Pokémon start to sniffle and wiggle his arms begging, eyes completely teary-eyed. "No."
"Mu~u~u~u~unchlax." Munchlax whined loudly, starting to catch attention from a couple of random natives and visitors of the city.
Shikamaru let out a loud sigh; he reached down and grunted as he picked up Munchlax from under his arms. The Nara swore he is going to end up throwing his back one of these days by carrying the Big Eater Pokémon. Munchlax giggled, all signs of sorrow gone replaced with the joy of the suffering that his trainer is currently going through.
"One day, one day you are going to regret doing this to me," Shikamaru muttered under his breath. Munchlax snickered in between his giggles.

Day: 4 of 243
Time: Early Morning
Route: Jubilife City
-.-.-
Lying face down on the couch in the Poke-Center, Shikamaru slept soundly with a blanket thrown over him. Chimchar sleeping on in the back occasionally scratching his ear or chin in his sleep. The only one wide-awake is Munchlax, who is looking through Shikamaru's sling bag.
Munchlax let out a loud whoop as he took out a small spiral notepad and a giant pen. The cover of the notepad has the Nara symbol printed on the front. Munchlax scanned through the pages and stopped on a blank page.
"Chim?"
Munchlax head snapped over to see Chimchar slowly waking up and giving Munchlax a questioning look. "Chimchar?"
"Munchlax." Munchlax held up a finger to silence the other Pokémon. Chimchar tilted his head, giving him a questioning look, but did not bother as he went back to sleep.
"I swear if you start writing on my face again…" Shikamaru muttered through the couch causing Munchlax to huff out indignantly. "Fine, just don't cause any trouble."
Munchlax waved him off as he headed out of the Poke-Center.
-.-.-
"Munch, Munch, Munch, Munch." Munchlax muttered to himself as he walked around the city writing in his notebook, completely unaware of his surroundings. He paused shortly to gather his thoughts, munching on his pen while doing so. This action actually caused more trouble than it actually would.
That exact moment Munchlax stopped to think, someone, who wasn't paying attention, tripped over the Pokémon.
"Oomph! What the hell!" A fourteen-year-old tripped and fell over Munchlax landing face first onto the concrete. He has spiky black hair, dark eyes, wearing a beige and black striped tank top with the words death printed on the front, snaked patterned distressed skinny jeans and a pair of high tops.
"Wow, what an idiot you are Zaku."
The teen that tripped, Zaku, glared over at his so-called friends whom he was just walking alongside with before he tripped over the blob of a Pokémon. "Shut it Kin."
Kin rolled her eyes at Zaku, like him she is also fourteen. She has very long black hair tied with a violet ribbon, dark eyes, wearing a snake print vest over a pale green-cropped top, ripped dark jeans and combat boots. "Whatever."
"Both of you shut up for once." Grunted the last member of the small group, like the other two he is also fourteen. He is wearing a zipped up leather jacket with a hoodie which he is using to hide his face, a pair of snake printed jeans and leather boots.
Munchlax ignored the teens bickering in favor of jumping over Zaku and heading his own way. "Munchlax."
"Where the heck you think you're going!" Zaku growled out, he quickly got up and stomped over towards Munchlax.
Munchlax did not pay much heed to the teen, as he was more focus on writing his notebook. This only made Zaku angrier, he reached out and snatched the notebook from Munchlax hands. He sneered down at the Pokémon waving the notebook above his head mockingly.
"Dosu?" Kin looked over at the hooded member of the group for some sort of cue. Dosu only shook his head, he kept a close eye on the Munchlax. He had never seen that kind of Pokémon before. Is it a rare type?
Munchlax pointed up at his notebook and asked nicely, for him, for his notebook back. Zaku smirked only grew as he taunted the big eater Pokémon. The more he taunted, the more Munchlax expression scrunched up in displeasure. "Munchlax."
"What? Does the fatty want his book back?"
"HEY! Leave him alone!"
Munchlax, Zaku, Kin and Dosu turned around to kid with spiky blonde hair wearing mostly orange glaring at the teens. He had his poke-ball extended out just waiting for the right moment to bring out whatever Pokémon he had.
"He's yours shrimp?" Kin demanded at the blonde.
"Yes." The blonde confirmed.
"Lax." Munchlax denied bluntly, but of course, no one understood him. One of the many reasons he hated the human language. They never understand, he watched the three older teenagers begin to gang up on the newcomer ignoring him momentarily. The big eater Pokémon kept his sight on his notebook, seeing that the idiot attention is on the new idiot he decided to act.
"Munchlax!" Munchlax balled his hands into fist, body tense and jumped towards Zaku using the move body slam. The outcome was immediate, Zaku let the notebook go before he was launched towards his companions crying out in confusion and pain. Mostly in pain. Munchlax huffed out haughtily picking up his notebook. "Lax."
The three teens were are now sprawled on the sidewalk groaning in pain. Munchlax looked over at the blonde expectantly, said blonde looked at him with a look of shock and amazement.
"Woah…That was awesome!"
-.-.-
Shikamaru muttered under as he stared at a giant package that his mother sent over for him. It just arrived that morning and he has yet to open it. All he wanted is a replacement Pokegear. Nothing else. Chimchar sat next to him watching him and glancing at the box, waiting for something to happen.
With a sigh, Shikamaru pulled the box towards him and began to open it. Opening it, he only raised an eyebrow at the contents of the box. Reaching into the box he pulled out a couple articles of clothing, a great rod, the Pokegear he wanted, a berry case and a couple of other random items. Shikamaru is actually surprised his mom did not attempt to stuff his entire room in the box. 'Thank you, mom.'
"Munchlax!"
Shikamaru and Chimchar looked over at the entrance of the Poke-Center to see Munchlax enter with a familiar blonde, the same blonde that he was asked to deliver a package to, following him talking a thousand miles a minute.
"What now…" Shikamaru sighed shaking his head thinking the worse. Munchlax snorted, rolling his eyes at his trainer. "What do you mean you got into a fight?"
"Munchlax." Munchlax shrugged his shoulders with much of a care. He pointed at the preteen that followed him. "Munchlax, Munch, Munch, Lax."
Shikamaru shook his head at Munchlax's explanation. He looked over at the orange-clad boy with a tired sigh. "Thanks for trying to help Munchlax. He has a tendency to get himself into trouble."
"Munchlax!" Munchlax called him out indignantly.
Shikamaru ignored him, continuing. "You're Naruto Uzumaki, right?"
Naruto stared at him owlishly. "How did yo…"
Naruto shook his head excessively before he stared at Shikamaru with a skeptic expression. "Yeah that's me. Who are you?"
"The kid that got stuck doing deliveries." Shikamaru responded he pulled out a package for Naruto. "I was asked to deliver this to you."
To be continued…
