I Do not own Pokémon or the gamer web comic series.
'I should' – thoughts
"I should" – Pokémon telepathy or speaking
"you should" – Gamer ability announcement/talking
I am sorry about the lack of updates and chapters I need to take a break from the story to make sure I didn't burn myself on the writing process.
Okay to the reviewers saying my character is too honest, I didn't tell birch about my gamer ability that is only going to be told to party members/traveling companions, because face it the gamer ability is hard to hide from those that travel with the character. That and I never understood why characters hid the gamer ability away from characters that they trust, i.e., regional professors.
Also, can I get help naming a fusion between electro ball and shadow ball, and a fusion between energy ball and shadow ball?
Lastly, is that I recently have gotten Grammarly pro so expect better grammar from now on.
Chapter 9
Sponsorship
The Sponsorship terms were having me give Birch 15% of all my winnings. In return he will take care any new pokemon that I send to him, I get a Pokedex, able to get a driver's license (after a test of course), any extra money that won't be used for my pokemon will be used to fund his lab. I also discovered that banks don't give trainers accounts without a parent or second signer saying that they will make sure to oversee the account (risk factor of kids). How I found that out was that Birch had some bank papers with him to see if I would like to have a bank account. Finishing the bank papers, Birch told me that he would get the bank card to me sometime the next day if not the day after, I thank him for his help.
"Before we finish up could you tell who the main character of the franchise was?" Professor Birch asked.
"Oh yeah, I wanted to find out if he existed too… Does the name of Ash Ketchum sound familiar?"
As soon as I said Ash's name the Professor grimaced. Okay so he does exist, but something must have happened. "What's wrong?"
"Yes, Ash Ketchum exist. Unfortunately, he is known for an incident that happened five years ago. He is currently in a coma." he finished with a sigh. "The world has done everything, say using aura to heal him, not for lack of trying mind you. There isn't anyone skilled enough in using aura healing to heal him. Last I heard if he doesn't wake up in the next three years or so, his mother may pull the plug on him." My eyes widen at this new information. Dam my bleeding heart and my love for ash.

That is a lot of exp and renown. I guess the world is waiting for ash to wake up. But who are the unknown Ketchum's? Possible siblings of ash? A thought crossed my mind.
"Say, has anyone gotten the help of any of the major legendaries?"
"Getting help from a major legendary would be a miracle, but they are far too reclusive for someone to find." Professor Birch Respond.
And with that knowledge, I assumed that I might need the help of a legendary… maybe Ho-Ho due to the quest name. Then again the simplest thing for me would be to learn how to heal using aura and level it to the needed level.

I sighed at the work I had ahead of me. I mentally closed the quest update. I look back at the professor. "Say how come you haven't been trying to disprove that I came from another dimension?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"James, I.. we live in a world where creatures can control elements, move through and control time, and space. You coming from another dimension isn't that far from the norm here if you think about it." He finished with an amused look. I chuckled at his reasoning (meloetta giggled alongside), he isn't wrong. And with that he said I was free to go, I got up and walked over to him, he got up too smiling. I put my hand out for a handshake.
"I look forward to a Prosperous relationship." He took my hand, and we shook.
"So do I!" He said never losing his smile. And with that, I left (Nel is sitting on my left shoulder).
(P.O.V. Third person)
James closed the door behind him. "So what do you think? Was everything he told the truth?" Birch asked to a shadowed corner. A figure emerged from the spot. The figure had black hair wearing a blue cowboy hat, blue overcoat with a black shirt and black pants, and a golden necklace.
"He told nothing but the truth. Which is both good and bad, but the part of him being an actual aura prince is the best news that my order can find. He also seems to want to step up to that song about him, but he knows he isn't ready for such responsibility. Which more than likely means he would be opened to training in the art of aura." responded the new figure.
"But why don't you just ask him, instead of this roundabout way?" queried the professor.
"He was simply unknown. That is why we did this, to find out if he would be a good candidate to be an aura guardian." Figure left the corner and walked to the door.
"And is he?"
"That is for my order to know." The figure answered and left.
(P.O.V. James)
"Okay Nel, let's have you meet Alder." I said fishing out alders ball out of my bag.
"Sounds good, I should meet my mate's adopted son." she says with a smile but then frowns and mumbles "Too bad I won't be having any of my own kids.". Hearing her say that I stop myself short of releasing Alder.
"Yeah… let's talk about that later in private, okay?" I said giving her a nervous look.
"What? What is that suppose to mean?" she said surprised.
"It means Later." I said once again but with more resolve. Looked at me questioningly but nodded anyway. With that, I let alder out.
"Hey, Dad! Did you finish that meeting thing?" alder asked with a smile.
"Yep, Alder meet Nel. Nel meet Alder." I said motioning between the too.
"Hiya Miss!" Alder said while waving at Nel.
"None of that miss stuff, Alder dear. You can call me Nel or Nana, Okay?" Nel said with a slight pout. Alder's eyes widen.
"Does that mean you see me as family?" Alder asked hesitantly. Nel Looked over to me with a worried expression.
"His parents abandon him due to his color." I said with steely eyes. Nels' eyes widen.
"But that practice should have been abandon 10 years ago!" Nel said with shock evident on her face. She looked at Alder with a concerned expression. Not even a second later she got off- my shoulder and hugged Alder closely. "Alder dear, I will be anything you want me to be. May it be a sister, an aunt, or even your mother figure. Just know that since James sees you as a son, I will see you like family." Alder started tearing up.
"Okay, Au-Aunt Nelly." Alder stated. Nel simply hugged him tighter. Alder was filled with joy, ever since he joined James he was safe and didn't have to worry about food, now he had someone to call an aunt. I went over and brought them into my chest with a hug.
"That's right you two, we are family, so don't you guys forget that!" I said giving each a kiss on both of their heads. The hugfest lasted a decent 20 seconds before alder calmed down. "You good alder?" receiving a nod back. I directed Nel to continue to sit on my left shoulder while I held alder with my arms against my chest. "Now let's go find where my friend Rin is."
