Okay, so in the previous chapter I made a bit of a mistake. Butterfree does not have Stun Spore (yet), it has tackle. You'll see why soon. So, for those of you who are bugging DarkFoxKit about Jason...STOP! He is MY OC, not hers! If you want to bug someone about it, BUG ME FOR PUTTING THIS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS!

Jason: Like it isn't already?

*Author grows tick marks all over forehead, turns slowly to Jason* How about I put this on hiatus permanently?

Jason: NO!

THEN SHUT UP! R&R, PM, AND ENJOY!

Chapter 7

(Jason's POV)

I woke up abruptly with my face full of flames. I screamed, clutching my face from the pain.

I heard Typhon say, Daddy! Oh my gosh, Daddy I'm sorry! I removed my hands from my face, and looked at Typhon, trying my best not to look like I was in too much in pain.

"It's alright, just a small burn. What happened anyways?" As if on cue, Typhon sneezed, causing his back flames to erupt for a second. Memma came up to me and asked what happened. "I think Typhon might have something." Typhon sneezed again, proving my point, and Memma picked him up and looked him over.

Well I can't do anything, not while Janice is around, so take him to Nurse Joy. I nodded and went to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. Once I had some fresh clothes on, I looked in the mirror to see the damage. It wasn't as bad as I had thought, a first degree burn by the way it looked, and it was only on the left side of my face. I left the bathroom and Janice saw me.

"Oh my gosh. What happened to you?" She asked looking at my burn closely.

"In the form of advice, don't sleep next to a Fire-type with a sneezing problem."

I picked up Typhon, who sneezed again and said, Oh, I feel terrible. I don't know if can-a-a-ACHOO! His back erupted in flames, barely missing my head.

"Bless you," Janice said, petting Typhon on his head.

"I'm going to take him down to Nurse Joy to have him get checked out, as well as this," I said, pointing to the burnt half of my face. I left the room and walked down to the front desk. Nurse Joy was typing on her computer and I cleared my throat.

"Oh, good morning," she said cheerfully. "How can I help you?"

Typhon sneezed, answering her question, and I added, "He accidentally burned me. I was wondering if you could see what the problem is and see how bad my burn is." Nurse Joy nodded and led me to a back room. It looked like an intensive care room, several incubators grouped together on one side of the room, with medical equipment and medicines on opposite ends.

"Set him down here," Nurse Joy said, opening an incubator. I gently placed Typhon inside on his belly, and Nurse Joy closed it. She typed something into the keyboard and the machine hummed to life, the inside glowing with a green light. "Let me take a look at your burns." She led me over to an examination table and had me sit down on it. While she worked on me, I made a psychic connection with Memma.

Memma, can you hear me?

Yes Jason, did something happen? How's Typhon?

I'm not sure yet. He's in an incubator right now, having his vitals checked or something. Nurse Joy waved a hand in front of my face and I cut the link.

"I said, you have a minor burn. It will clear up in a few days, but you'll need to apply this once a day." She handed me a small container, and I opened it. Inside was a white cream, burn medicine I guessed. The incubator holding Typhon pinged and Nurse Joy walked over to it. She pressed a few more buttons, and paper started to come out of the machine. She looked at it, and said, "Well it seems your Cyndaquil is fine, just a small sneezing fit." She opened the incubator, and I walked over. Typhon sat up, and sneezed again. "It will go away in a couple hours, but I advise you keep him in his pokeball so he doesn't cause an accidental fire or burn." I nodded and picked Typhon up.

Daddy, is something wrong with me?

I pretended like I didn't understand him, and said, "I'm going to have to put you back in your pokeball for a couple of hours, alright. Just until your sneezing clears up. Okay?" Typhon nodded, and I grabbed his pokeball, returning him. I thanked Nurse Joy and left the room, finding Memma and Janice by the door.

"Oh, Jason, there you are," Memma said, acting like she didn't know where I was. "How's Typhon?"

"Just a small sneezing fit. He'll have to stay in his pokeball until it goes away." We went outside and I tossed Butterfree and Beedrill's pokeballs, and they appeared in a flash of light. Janice became startled when she saw Beedrill, and I said, "Hey, its okay. He's friendly."

Janice didn't look like he was going to take a chance, and Butterfree said, So Jason, what are we going to do? Training?

"If its okay with you guys, I'd like to give you nicknames." They looked at each other, and nodded their heads.

Oh, I want to be called Buzzkill, Beedrill said.

I spoke to him telepathically, Not a good idea. Janice was almost skewered yesterday by a bunch of Beedrill near New Bark.

Beedrill thought again, and this time Butterfree spoke up, I think for my nickname, I would like...Monarch.

Why Monarch?

Well, I heard its a type of butterfly in a foreign country, plus it makes me sound important.

I silently agreed, and Beedrill said, Well, if I can't be Buzzkill, then how about Sting?

Perfect. "Okay, Butterfree, I'll call you Monarch," I said, pretending to come up with the name on my own. Monarch chittered happily, and I said to Beedrill, "And Beedrill, I think I'll call you," I pretended to think for a moment, "Sting." Sting buzzed excitedly, and I said, "Okay, Monarch, since Typhon can't battle for a while, we'll start training with you first." Monarch chittered excitedly, and I opened my Pokedex and scanned Monarch first, "Butterfree, the Butterfly Pokemon, and the final evolved form of Caterpie. It loves the honey of flowers and can locate flower patches that have even tiny amounts of pollen. Butterfree's currently known moves are Poison powder, Sleep Powder, Tackle*, and Confusion."

Then I pointed it at Sting, "Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokemon, and the final evolved form of Weedle. Its best attack involves flying around at high speed, striking with poison needles, then flying off. Beedrill's currently known moves are Tackle, String Shot, Fury Attack, and Twineelde."

I put my Pokedex away and recalled Sting. "Okay, I think we should teach you Stun Spore first to replace Sleep Powder, and then Silver Wind to replace Tackle." Monarch chittered in agreement, and Jason's mother pulled out a guidebook on how to train Pokemon so they can learn new moves.

"Alright, Stun Spore seems easy enough. Butterfree use the powder and spore attacks by shedding scales from their wings. To use Stun Spore, all you have to do is shed some of your scales while focusing on immobilizing your opponent."

Monarch nodded, and Janice said, "Oh, I have an idea. Why not have a battle? That way, my little Lucy can get some experience and your Monarch can practice learning the new move." I nodded and turned to Monarch.

"Ready for your first battle?" Monarch chittered as Janice sent out Lucy. At first, Monarch was a bit intimidated, but I told him with a mental link that it didn't know any fire-type moves yet. Memma had us walk to the entrance to Route 30, and stood between us.

"This will be a one-on-one battle between Jason's Monarch and Janice's Lucy. The battle will end when either of the opposing Pokemon faint or when Monarch is able to successfully use Stun Spore. Trainers ready?" I nodded, a confident smirk on my face, as did Janice. "Begin!"

"Monarch, try to use Stun Spore!"

"Lucy, use Smokescreen!" Lucy exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, hiding inside.

"Spread it all over the smoke!" Monarch began flapping his wings frantically, but instead of the gold-colored scales of Stun Spore came the green-colored scales of Sleep Powder. The scales fell everywhere, and the smoke cleared to reveal a sleeping Lucy.

"Lucy! Please, wake up!" Janice cried, receiving only a tired yawn in response.

"Okay Monarch, take a breather and wait. Once it wakes up, try to use Stun Spore again." Monarch chittered, and we waited. Janice was pleading with Lucy to wake up, but with little success.

Finally, she shouted, "Lucy! Wake up! Please, wake up! Win this battle for Mommy!" I was surprised at what she said, but it worked. Lucy seemed to be waking up, and then suddenly jumped back up.

I heard Lucy say, I will win this battle. For Mommy! Lucy suddenly jumped into the air, hitting Monarch with a Tackle. Monarch fell to the ground, and I asked if he was alright.

I think so, he replied, nothing feels broken.

"Alright, try to get airborne and use Stun Spore." Monarch flapped his wings, lifting himself off the ground, and began to flap as hard as he could. Jason saw some gold scales at first, but they were replaced with purple ones, Poison Powder.

"Lucy, dodge it!" Lucy was able to get away from the poisonous scales before they reached her, and I said, "I saw some gold. You almost have it, Monarch!"

I just need to try a few more times, he replied.

"Let's go again, Stun Spore!" We continued to train for about an hour, Monarch only managing Sleep and Poison powders. It wasn't long before both of our Pokemon grew tired.

"How you holding up Monarch?"

Not very good, I'm more exhausted than a Snorlax, and those things sleep for almost three-quarters of a day.

I chuckled a bit, and shouted to Memma, "I think we should stop. Monarch seems tired, and I'll bet Lucy is too." We looked over to Janice and Lucy, the latter looking tired despite its determination.

"Very well, this match is a draw!" The moment she said that, both Monarch and Lucy fell to the ground, exhausted. I walked over to Monarch and put a hand on his head.

"You did really well. You almost got the move down. You just need more practice, but first take a good long rest." I pulled out Monarch's pokeball and returned him. Monarch gave a tired, but happy, chitter before going back into the ball.

Janice came over to me, holding Lucy's pokeball and said, "That was a good battle. I thought you didn't have any other Pokemon other than Typhon."

I laughed a little, rubbing the back of my head and said, "Let's just say I have a way with Pokemon." I made a large grin, and she smiled back at me.

Memma came up to us, and said, "Let's head back to the Pokemon Center, get your Pokemon healed up, and then we can head out to Route 30."

"And maybe get something to eat?" I added, stomach growling. Memma nodded, laughing a bit, and we went back to the Pokemon Center.

Not the best chapter, but it'll keep Jason quiet.

Jason: *cowering in corner* Please don't kill me.

Who said I was going to kill you? You won't die in story, but you will be facing some difficulties, especially with your POV.

Jason: Just sign off already

R&R, PM, and *army salute*
