Howdy everyone. The 3rd dragneel has finally returned to grace all of you with the third chapter of My Pokemon Academia: Johto Adventures. Man, we're halfway through this damn year and I am happy. Given how much bad stuff happened, most notably COVID 19 and the loss of several celebrities, I just want this year to be done. Besides my birthday coming up, nothing else is on my to do list for 2020.
Enough with my self hatred of 2020, ONTO THE REVIEWS!
Firem78910: Everything you suggested is good except Hateena. That caught me off guard.
Rhatch89: Thanks.
Messiah of authors: Thanks for understanding the types of Pokemon everyone got and trust me, not giving Izuku a Riolu would damage my pride as a writer.
Crossovernaru: Thanks dude! I really have to think about how each person would act with each Pokemon to add some development. Trust me, we will see a LOT of funny moments for each character. Yeah, like I told you before, a lot of this story will be DARK.
KatoGS123: See? I'm glad someone was able to figure it out! God, eating your own energy would definitely be a great idea.
Eo5494: Yes.
BanRedfox: Trust me, when you find out who the guy was, you'll be shocked and a bit hyped since he'll have a rivalry with basically everyone. Treecko is just an edgy tsundere, like how Todoroki was prior to the Sports Festival.
Fangs of death: Huh, those reasons and Pokemon are really good. I especially like the idea of a blind Riolu(though I'm reluctant to use that, but still).
Mastergamer14: The starters are a little too late, but everything else is interesting.
Dovah117: While legendaries are off limits, shinies aren't. So I could have some of them get shiny Pokemon.
Fairydragon2099: Thanks man.
Giblenator: While it would make sense to give Izuku a Goomy, I have another candidate for it.
GirlFish: It'll have some dark moments. Nothing that'll give you nightmares. Glad you're liking the story.
DragonGamerz: I don't know about Battle Bond, but yeah. I love Greninja.
Guest: We'll see about giving Decidueye something like Battle Bond.
7: Hehehe, you'll get more. Trust me.
Guest number 2: If Mew does appear in this story.
Guest number 3: Jirou isn't in this story, but Mina with Salazzle would be cool.
Guest number 4: Orbeetle is fitting for Ochaco.
Shadowwolf1997: Oh, I completely agree with Houndoom.
Guest number 5: This chapter is the beginning of their journey.
Megaboy20: Thanks for backing me up man. The asshole has no life.
Guest number 6: Glad I haven't disappointed you, hahaha.
StarFiction56: I'm mostly sticking to Heartgold and Soulsilver cause I love the former. Pokemon shipping huh? That's funny.
Guest number 7: Mega Evolution will definitely be in this story, as will Z-Moves.
Guest number 8: Trubbish, no. Phalanx, yes. Inkay… Nah.
Yukistorm04: YES! I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD REALIZE WHO WAS AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER! Trust me, they'll have a big role in this story. Jirou ISN'T in this story, sorry. I'm glad you want some Pokemon to stay unevolved and I will be doing that.
Guest number 9: Ehh, Pikipek isn't that good.
Guest number 10: Maybe. Stain did influence people.
Gold Halldorson: Those Pokemon aren't definitely fitting, even Snom.
Guest number 11: Move limit still exists, sorry.
Guest number 12: I'll think about Aura.
Guest number 13: We'll see the Kanto starters in a surprising way.
Guest number 14: YES on Sobble with Izuku.
Guest number 15: The reason I didn't choose Kanto, Sinnoh or Unova is because we'll see those Pokemon throughout the story.
Last chapter: The students of Class 1-A were given the choice of a temporary Pokemon partner, with some having an easier time to choose than others. As they bond with the Pokemon, Lyra shows them how capturing Pokemon works by battling Marill with her new Chikorita. Later that night in Goldenrod City, a woman was about to be assaulted by two men, who are later revealed to be with Team Rocket, only for a stranger with a large Pokemon to come and slaughter the two men, declaring his hatred of Team Rocket.
What surprise does the professor have and who was that young man in Goldenrod City? Let's find out…
'Professor Elm's lab, night'
"Here you go, everyone. Help yourselves!" Professor Elm said with a smile as he gestured to a large table, which had multiple plates of different food, ranging from meat to vegetables to pasta. Just looking at the display would make any human salivate in hunger.
"It sucks that Lyra and Jimmy had to go home. They're really missing out." Mina said before shrugging and taking a seat, with the other students, their teacher, Professor Elm and his assistants following suit. Despite wanting to hang out with their new friends, the two new trainers had to go home in order to show their parents their new Pokemon before heading out on their journey. "Oh well."
"What about the Pokemon, professor?" Momo couldn't help but ask Elm, who smiled while gesturing to the right.
"Don't worry about them." The professor said as one of his assistants placed a large plate with several bowls full of brown pellets, each having different fruit on the ground. Each of the Starter Pokemon all widened their eyes in hunger. Once the assistant backed up, the Pokemon didn't waste any time devouring the food.
"Awww, they're so cute when they eat." Ochaco squealed while smiling brightly, seeing how Popplio bounced her food on her nose before eating it.
"Do you use the same food for every Pokemon, professor?" Tenya asked curiously.
"It actually depends on the Pokemon. Some prefer to eat spicy food while some like their food sweet." One of the assistants informed the students. "But we monitor the eating patterns of each of the Pokemon here and make food that fits their desired eating habits."
"Wow, Pokemon research sounds amazing." Izuku said with a big smile on his face. Because of how secluded the islands were, no one in Japan knew how extensive Pokemon research was, so it was a nice change of pace to hear more about it.
"Please, enjoy yourselves. I promise you won't be disappointed." The professor said, allowing the UA students, as well as Aizawa to start eating.
"Oh man! These egg rolls are so good!" Kirishima commented with a satisfied tone.
"And these noodles are so smooth!" Ochaco squealed with a happy smile.
"Thank you for the meal, professor." Aizawa said, now wearing more casual clothes, with his messy hair tied in a ponytail.
"Please, I should be thanking you." Elm replied while waving a hand. "You let me observe your Quirks for my studies. That's more than enough to repay me."
*Chop*
Aizawa's eyes widened as he suddenly felt his head being pulled back. The others stopped eating as they looked at their teacher… whose hair was being chewed on by a certain water Pokemon. "(Hi)!" Totodile said innocently while chewing on the Erasure hero's hair.
"So cute." Tsu said to herself as the other girls cooed at how cute Totodile was.
"Totodile!" One of Professor Elm's assistants quickly stood up and scratched the Johto starter's head, causing him to release Aizawa. "I'm so sorry, mister Aizawa." The Pro reached towards his ponytail, frowning at the saliva Totodile left on it.
"It looks like Totodile has marked mister Aizawa." Shoto said bluntly while calmly eating his food.
"I knew it was a bad idea." Aizawa said while giving Elm a blank stare, making the Professor laugh nervously. He probably should've expected this kind of reaction from Totodile. Once the assistant put Totodile down, the Pokemon then ran over to Aizawa, climbing onto his lap. "Really?"
"Again, I'm so sorry about Totodile. I guess you left a big impression on him. Just… Bare with it for now, please." Elm pleaded a bit to the Pro Hero, who sighed in annoyance while looking down at the smiling Totodile.
'If it was a cat, I wouldn't say no.' Aizawa thought before he relented and continued to eat, though he did give Totodile a bit of bread, much to his joy.
"Mr. Aizawa, what is our schedule for tomorrow, if you don't mind me asking?" Tenya spoke up while cleaning his mouth with a napkin. Since he and the others weren't really told what would go on during their visit, the son of the Iida family wanted to ensure he and the others were properly prepared for anything.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." Was all Aizawa said as he continued to eat, ignoring the looks on his students' faces.
If only they knew what was about to be offered to them.
'The next morning'
*Poke*Poke*
"(Wake up)."
"(They won't wake up if you keep poking them like that)."
"(Well, how else would you do it? I wanna play some more)!"
"(Just let them sleep. It's not like they're leaving today)."
"(THEY'RE LEAVING)?!"
Izuku Midoriya groaned as he felt some weight on his chest. 'I guess my workouts are catching up to me… Wait.' The greenette slowly opened his eyes, catching a round tan and white ball on his stomach.
Only the ball turned its head completely, staring at Izuku with curious eyes.
"(... Hi)." Rowlet said innocently.
"GUAH!" Izuku, not expecting to see the Pokemon he befriended yesterday, shot up…
*BANG*
"Owww…" Only for his head to slam under the bunk bed he was currently sharing with Iida, making him rub his new bump. "R-Rowlet?"
"Midoriya! What's wrong?!" Tenya hung his head upside down from the top bunk, staring at Izuku as his glasses dropped down. "Are we under attack?! Is it a secret drill Mr. Aizawa had planned for us?!"
"Who's screaming?!" Kirishima jumped out of the bottom bunk, hardening his arms in the event they were being attacked. However, he was then caught off guard when something hugged his leg, which turned out to be Chespin.
"(Surprise)!" Chespin cheered while hugging the Harden Quirk user.
"Chespin?!" Kirishima exclaimed in surprise.
"WILL ALL OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?! I'M TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP!" Bakugo roared from the other top bunk, a look of anger and annoyance in his eyes. Everyone quickly shut up due to the value of his voice before Bakugo looked at his sheets… Seeing Litten curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly. "And why the hell are you on my bed?!"
"(... You're too loud)." Litten muttered while opening an eye towards Bakugo before going back to his nap.
"Why are the Pokemon in our room?" Tenya asked out loud while taking out his spare glasses, putting them on his eyes so he could see. Like he said, Litten, Rowlet, Torchic, Chespin and Treecko were currently in the room the male students of U.A. were sleeping in.
"Is something wrong?" Izuku asked Rowlet while picking him up, causing the Grass and Flying type to smile.
"(We just wanted to see you)." Rowlet said while flying up to Izuku's shoulder, landing on it.
"Oh, I think I get it." Izuku realized before smiling and rubbing Rowlet's head, earning a coo of approval. "I guess they really like us."
"Not all of them." Shoto spoke up from his bunk bed, despite being the only one sleeping on it. He then looked at Treecko, who was leaning against the wall with an uncaring attitude.
"Guess Treecko's still getting used to us, huh?" Kirishima theorized as he picked up Chespin, looking at him. "You have any idea about that, buddy?"
"(No one knows what he's thinking about)." Chespin sighed with a defeated expression.
"(Treecko! At least say good morning to them)." Torchic told the Hoenn starter while mimicking Tenya's hand chop, something said person noticed.
"I see you've adopted some of my hand motions. I'm honored to see you doing such a thing, Torchic!" Tenya said in a proud tone with a sparkle in his eye, making Izuku and Eijiro chuckle nervously.
"(I don't care if they're awake. They'll leave and that's it)." Treecko scoffed before he began to walk away, making the other Pokemon sigh. He was always known for being the lone wolf type, even more than Litten(which is ironic).
"Say, I just had a thought." Kirishima spoke up to get everyone's attention. "If they woke us up, what about the girls?"
'With the girls'
"One… Two… THREE!" Mina said as she threw Mudkip in the air, catching her.
"(Hehehehe, again)!" Mudkip exclaimed with a giggle. She loved how outgoing Mina was, so when she and the other female starters(with the exception of Froakie) woke the girls up, they were more than willing to play. A bubble then began to float in front of Mudkip and Mina before popping, surprising them.
"Nice one, Popplio. Can you make a bigger one?" Ochaco asked the water type on her lap, who clapped in response. Taking in a deep breath, Popplio began blowing a bubble from her nose, allowing it to start growing.
"Ochaco, I don't think it's a good idea to blow a big bubble in here." Tsu said bluntly while rubbing Froakie's belly, making him sigh in relief.
"(More to the left… There we goooooo)..." Froakie said with a lazy tone, though he did have a derpy smile on his face. He was so glad someone would give him a belly scratch since he never developed any nails.
"She's right. If we make a mess here, then we would be giving UA a bad reputation." Momo said with a frown, though she still brushed Fennekin's fur with a brush she created. Fennekin then yelped as the brush pulled on a knot. "Oh! Sorry Fennekin."
"(It's okay… Just get it out, please)." Fennekin whimpered, feeling rather uncomfortable with the brush pulling on her hair. Momo used her Quirk to create a pair of scissors from her wrist, quickly cutting the knot off. "(Thank you)." The Creation user giggled a bit at the expression on Fennekin's face before she looked up, only to see the bubble Popplio was making grow MUCH later than she or the others expected. "O-Ochaco?"
"H-Hey, Popplio? I think that's good enough!" Ochaco yelped as Popplio's face was beginning to turn red due to how much air she was putting in the bubble, which was almost the size of the girls in the room.
"(I… Can't… Stoppppp)..." Popplio was able to wheeze out before her eyes rolled back in her head as she moved back, removing her nose from the bubble.
"Okay… No one move." Mina said as she and the others tried backing up, praying that none of them would do something as stupid as popping it.
That was… Until the door opened, revealing one of Professor Elm's female assistants.
"Good morning, every-"
*POP*
Unfortunately, the moment she opened the door, the bubble popped, showering the females, the Pokemon and a large part of the room in water. Each of them blinked in surprise, with Froakie getting over his little daze as he looked around.
"(Ummmm… What happened)?" Froakie asked in a confused tone.
What a way to wake up, am I right?
'With Professor Elm, a little while later'
The professor of the Johto Region always had a schedule to follow whenever he started the day. He would wake up, shower, change into a new lab coat(since that was all he wore), say good morning to the Pokemon(though he was surprised to see the Starters sneaking out and going to the rooms where the UA students were sleeping) and get a cup of coffee before studying up on the latest Pokemon news. However, since he did have guests, he decided to have some of his staff make a big breakfast for them, a bit of a start for the little offer he and Aizawa talked about.
So here he was, reading on his tablet while sipping his coffee. "Oh, I-Island plans on having a Pokemon Expo with Professor Sycamore. I wonder if they'll invite the other professors." Elm said to himself with an interested tone. Hearing footsteps, the Johto professor lifted his head to greet the person coming. "Good morn-Oh my." Once his head was raised, he was caught off guard by his female assistant's appearance.
She was completely drenched in water, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"So... "
"It was a bit of an… accident with Popplio's balloon blowing." The assistant said with a nervous laugh as she took out a small towel to dry her face. "They are awake and will be here soon." Elm merely nodded before he continued to drink his coffee. True to her word, the female students of UA arrived(but not before apologizing for making a mess in the room), followed by the males and their teacher, who strangely carried Totodile in his arms.
"I think this is yours." Aizawa said in an annoyed tone as he handed Totodile to Elm… Only for the water type to jump up and bite his head.
"(I wanna stay with you)!" Totodile giggled as he nibbled on Aizawa's head, making the teacher's brow twitch.
"(He's really embarrassing the name of Pokemon with how he's acting)." Treecko clicked his tongue while shaking his head, though he did stand next to Shoto. The rest of the Pokemon quickly rushed to the bowls of food provided to them, with their human friends doing the same with the table.
"Thank you for the meal." Everyone said before they proceeded to eat. The selection for breakfast was large, given how many people were inside.
"Professor, I have a question I would like to ask." Tenya spoke up professionally as he added jam onto his toast.
"Yes?" Elm asked as he gently cut his sausage(don't laugh) and took a bite out of it.
"I know that it is legal for those who reach ten years old to start their Pokemon journey, but I'm curious why parents would allow them to travel alone." Tenya asked before taking a big bite of his toast.
"Couldn't the same thing be said about UA or any other high school that focuses on helping young people to use their powers?" Elm asked rhetorically before he put down his utensils. "It is true that most parents wouldn't even think of letting their children walk alone, much less travel around. But because of Pokemon, that opinion has changed. Unlike many pets you might know, Pokemon have intelligence that matches even humans, so they're the perfect companions for protection."
"But what about funds?" Momo questioned with a curious brow.
"That's actually more simple than you think." One of the assistants said with a smile. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a phone, turning it on. "You see, when a trainer battles someone, their pokedex would register the battle and whoever wins gets a certain amount of money, both from their opponent and from the system. Of course you wouldn't be able to buy a house in a few battles, but it would be useful for buying the necessities."
"What about the Champ?" Bakugo suddenly spoke up, speaking about a question his classmates had. "If he's the best in each region, are they loaded?"
"You would think that, and while each Champion is given a large sum of money, they're no different from some of the top ten Heroes in Japan." Elm informed with a finger raised. "Of course, many trainers try to take the title of champion every month, though they usually end up losing and being content with training the world." The U.A. students all took in the information given them to heart. It made sense that the Regions had a currency system for trainers so they wouldn't go broke. And from their short interactions with the Starter Pokemon, it was clear that the Pokemon were very intelligent. "That actually brings me to a decision me and your teacher talked about the other day."
"Huh?" Asked the students with confused expressions. Did Mr. Aizawa think of something new for them to do today? Hopefully, it involved the starter Pokemon.
"After we're done here. I'll tell you." Was all Aizawa said before he proceeded eating. Though curious, the students merely shrugged it off and continued eating. There was some small talk here and there(with many of them being questions to the professor) before the Japanese inhabitants went for a quick shower and change of clothes. After some time, everyone gathered in the middle of the lab, with the Starter Pokemon in front of them.
"Okay, now it's time we finally talked about it." Elm said with an almost cheerful tone as he clapped his hands together. "You see, before all of you came to Johto, I spoke with your principal and suggested a little field trip within the field trip."
"A what in the what?" Mina asked with a question mark over her head.
"Mmmm, how do I put it simply?" Elm then began to rub his chin in thought.
"What he's saying is that starting today, each and everyone of you will become a Pokemon Trainer." Aizawa spoke up before the professor could even speak.
"EH?!" As expected, the students all gasped in pure shock at their teacher's words. Even the Pokemon were caught off guard by the volume, though they wondered why.
"A-A-Are you s-s-serious, Mr Aizawa? U-Us as trainers?" Izuku stuttered, his green eyes wide in shock.
"It's true." Aizawa said simply, unaffected by his students' reaction. "Principal Nezu thinks that if all of you participate in the Pokemon League, it would give you the chance to understand the culture here, as well as give you the opportunity to show the people here what heroes in training look like. Since most of you have your licenses, you should be able to use your Quirks freely, though that obviously won't be the case for Todoroki and Bakugo." The latter gritted his teeth a bit at the reminder, but held his tongue. "And with professor Elm's blessing, you can start your journey today." To say everyone was both surprised and happy would be a complete understatement. They honestly thought this whole trip would take place in the lab, yet now they were going to travel throughout Johto to be Pokemon trainers?!
"This is… SO AWESOME!" Kirishima shouted while raising his fists high in the air.
"So cool!" Mina added with stars in her eyes.
"Tsu, isn't this great?!" Ochaco asked her friend with a big smile.
"Yeah. It's amazing." Tsu replied, a smile on her face to show her interest in it as well.
"To be allowed to travel… It's an amazing opportunity." Momo declared while putting a hand over her heart, though internally, she was also excited about this.
"As the son of the Iida family, I would be more than honored if you allow us to travel here!" Tenya said while giving Elm a bow. Shoto didn't say anything, though he did give a small nod.
"So we can go around, fight anyone we want and get paid for it?" Bakugo asked rhetorically before a smirk crossed his face. "I can get used to that."
"It isn't as simple as that." Elm said, hearing Bakugo's words with a serious expression. "If you challenge a Gym Leader to a battle, you CANNOT use your Quirks to assist your Pokemon. You can use them to help others IF it's necessary. But if you decide to interrupt an official battle with your power, then your trainer license will be revoked and you won't be allowed to enter the Pokemon League for up to a year. Am I clear?"
"Yes sir." Everyone immediately said in unison. Even someone who usually goes in guns blazing like Katsuki Bakugo knew that having your license revoked would be a step back.
"Now, are there any questions?" Professor Elm asked politely.
"I have one." Izuku said while raising a hand. "Since you're giving us the chance to be trainers, wouldn't we need to choose a Starter Pokemon?" This question brought a smile to the professor's face.
"You already have." Elm said rhetorically while gesturing to the Pokemon. Seeing the opportunity, a large majority of the Pokemon stepped forward, standing in front of their human friends.
"(We already made our choices)." Rowlet said before he flew towards Izuku, landing on his right shoulder. The other Pokemon followed the Alola Starter's example and jumped in the arms of the UA students, though some like Treecko and Litten merely stayed in place. It took the students seconds to realize what the Starters were suggesting.
"There is another question I must ask." Tenya asked while holding Torchic close and turning towards his teacher. "What will you be doing, Mr Aizawa? Are you going to accompany all of us?"
"No, I'm not." Aizawa said firmly while shoving his hands in his pockets. "Each of you has proven yourselves to be able to take care of yourselves, so from this point on, you'll be traveling without a guide." It was clear that despite how much he put them through, Shouta Aizawa was fully confident in all his students, and the nine in front of him were no exception. "While you're out there, I'll be here with the professor."
"Wow, I didn't know you liked science, Mr. Aizawa." Mina asked with a genuinely shocked tone. Honestly, she would've expected the Erasure Hero to just be asleep and make some calls to see how UA was doing.
"I'm not. But there are a few things principal Nezu wanted to know." Aizawa admitted before he felt something pulling his pants. A tired sigh escaped his mouth as he looked down, only to see Totdile giving him a pleading stare. "No."
"(Please)?" Totodile pleaded, making sure to widen his eyes in order to get the maximum effect. It worked when the other Pokemon did it, so it made sense it would work for him too(despite how flawed his logic was). Aizawa continued to stare at the water type before reaching down and picking him up. "(IT WORKED)!" The other Pokemon just sweatdropped in response.
"Now, since we have that figured out, it's time we gave each of you the right equipment." Elm said before nodding to his assistants. Soon, a cart with several Pokedexes, as well as a large box of Pokeballs, several Potions and six Pokegears. "As you know from yesterday, each new trainer is given ten Pokeballs, as well as some Potions and a Pokegear. So please go and-"
"Professor!" Before he could finish, another of his assistants quickly ran to him, a tablet in his hands.
"Yes, Rachel?" Elm asked politely.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but we got an email from Mr Pokemon. He said it's important that you read it." The assistant known as Rachel told him. Smiling sheepishly, Elm grabbed the tablet before giving the students a bow.
"Sorry. Mr Pokemon's a good friend, but he always emails me about new discoveries and it does get a bit hectic." Elm apologized before he began reading the email, only to raise a brow. "Oh."
"Is there something wrong?" Momo asked with a hint of concern.
"No. He wanted to know how the Pokemon egg he sent to me is doing. I suppose I forgot about it until now." Elm said while scratching the back of his head. "As much as I would love to send the egg back since it was his, we're too busy with our research to do that, and Jimmy and Lyra already left for their own journeys…"
"Then allow us to do this!" Tenya spoke up without hesitation. Most of the other students nodded in agreement, not seeing any problems with doing this. Though...
"Really? Are you sure?" Elm asked with a surprised tone. He wasn't expecting any of them to take on the delivery job, especially since they JUST learned they were gonna be trainers.
"Like hell I'm dropping off some egg." Bakugo immediately denied with a scowl. Why would he ever accept a delivery job? He wasn't an errand boy!
"Not all of us need to go. As long as at least one of us goes to deliver the egg, it wouldn't hurt the others when they travel." Izuku stated logically while rubbing his head.
"Thank you! You don't know how much I appreciate this." Elm thanked the students with a grateful tone, though it wasn't necessary since he had already done so much for them. "Please get the supplies provided. The first gym is in Violet city, which is at least a day or two away if you walk. Remember to focus on both yours and your Pokemon's needs and don't be afraid to catch any Pokemon along the way. Of course, seeing Lyra catch Marill should give you an idea as to how to catch." Everyone nodded before they stepped forward, grabbing a sizable amount of supplies. "This journey is not only a chance to explore a new land, but it also gives you the opportunity to bond with the Pokemon. Be sure to embrace your bonds and never forget to push beyond your limits. To go beyond…" Elm then posed in a way that sort of resembles All Might. "PLUS ULTRA!"
Almost immediately, the professor was given a round of applause, his little speech igniting a fire within the U.A. students' hearts.
Now they had a new goal: to face the Pokemon League and become champion.
'Goldenrod City, around the same time'
The police weren't necessarily an uncommon thing to see in the bustling city of Goldenrod. After all, given the high number of crimes that occurred on a daily basis, it was only natural for the police to go on patrol.
However, murder was a different story.
Despite how often crimes occurred, no one was ever actually killed in one of them, so when news spread of two bloody corpses being found in an alleyway, that caused more than a few heads to turn.
One of the many police cars that were on the scene opened, revealing a middle aged man with faded black hair combed to the right and gray eyes. He wore a dark brown suit over a white button up shirt, a lavender tie, a light brown trench coat, dark brown pants and gray shoes. Closing the door, he proceeded to the caution tape, seeing one of his fellow officers standing on the other side. Reaching into his pocket, the man took out a gold badge, presenting it to the officer. Seeing the badge, the officer nodded before lifting the tape, allowing the man to walk through. As he got closer, the smell of blood entered the man's nose, making him frown.
"Looker." One of the detectives called out to the man, kneeling next to what looked like a body that was covered in a body.
"So, who do we have?" Looker asked as he reached the detective, staring down at the body.
"We have two bodies, mauled to hell. Luckily, the faces aren't that torn up, so we can get some identity off them." The detective said while standing up, shaking his head. "Whoever killed them really wanted them dead. The claw marks are a mystery though."
"Claw marks?" Looker questioned with a raised brow.
"Check out vic number two. Something slashed his chest, cutting through his heart." The detective suggested as the two walked to the other body bag, opening it to reveal the second corpse. Like the second detective said, there was a large claw mark on his chest.
"It has to be a Pokemon. Those claw marks wouldn't be possible for a Quirk user." Looker theorized, his frown deepening even more. "Still, to drag Pokemon into a murder is disgusting."
"Yeah, but that's not the worst part." The other detective spoke up before he pulled out a small evidence bag, showing the torn R on one of their shirts. "Recognize this?" As soon as Looker looked at the bag, his eyes widened before he gritted his teeth.
"Team Rocket." Looker hissed, his left fist clenching in anger.
"Looks like they're making a comeback and someone doesn't want them to." The detective said before looking at the sky, "Question is: Who's doing the killing and how do we find them?"
Little did either detective know… Someone was watching them from the crowd, making sure to lower their fedora to avoid being seen.
'So it really is coming back. And they didn't even bother to let me.' The person with the fedora thought in anger before they began to walk out of the crowd. 'None of these fools even realize what is coming.' A dark smirk appeared on their face. 'Still… The newly revived Team Rocket could be what I need to rule the regions. Only time will tell.'
Pretty damn ominous, huh? I just love having these dark moments occur in a story because they add a sense of mystery. I bet you guys know who that fedora wearing guy is, so I won't say anything about that. And obviously, Looker will play a big role in the story… along with an assistant I doubt any of you would guess correctly.
So yeah, everyone is going to start their Pokemon journey, which is where this story REALLY picks up. I know it might feel like a disappointment to stop here, but I assure you, the next chapter will come with more action.
Speaking of Pokemon, man. The Journeys anime is picking up with everything that I honestly feel sad if Asha ends up leaving. But as Tony Stark said: "Part of the journey is the end."
Follow, Fav, Review and PM for anything.
Next time: The journey starts today
