I opened my eyes, I felt like crap. I looked around to see I was in a place I've never been. It looked like a bedroom room without water decorations around the place, and I was under the covers in a bed. I then sat up and felt something on my side. I pulled up the covers to see I was just wearing a pair of shorts, and my torso was covered in bandages. I then I felt around my body. I didn't have my pokemon, my pokedex, or anything else. I started to breathe heavily, where am I and where is my stuff? Then someone walked in the door. It was petra, but she was wearing athletic shorts and a tank top, not her other flashy outfits. "You're awake?" She asks me. I rolled my eyes, I couldn't stand stupid questions like that. "No, I'm dead asleep." I said sarcastically. She walked over and sat at the edge of the bed. "I have some news for you." She told me, ignoring my comment. "You can tell me that, after I find out where my pokemon are." I told her. "They're in the other room with the rest of your clothes." She said. "Okay, I'll get those when you're done." I told her. "Okay, now that that's out of the way, someone live streamed your battle, and to say the least, that video went viral." She told me. I looked at her funny. "What do you mean, viral?' I asked her. "Well, a lot of people are going to recognize you, that video of you helping your pokemon, it's something to see, which is why I'm glad to give you this." She said handing me a small badge. I took it out of her hand and looked at it. It was shaped like a raindrop, but I knew what it was, the cascade badge. I held it tightly. That's two down, six to go. I thought to myself. "Thanks Petra, but I'll be going now." I said trying not to sound super excited. But when I stepped out of the bed I fell to the ground. My ribs felt like they were going to explode. I then felt Petra touch my back and with her other hand she reached to the front on my chest and helped me up. "You're a little weak, I'll help you over to where your clothes are and then you should be used to walking." She told me. I nodded. We stepped out of the room and we were in some kind of living room. There was a couch, and in front of that was a coffee table and then a small tv. There also lots of pictures on the wall, but one stuck out for some reason. It was a picture of Petra in a wedding dress, she was holding onto the arm of a man in a tux, he looked bored, but he was smiling slightly. "Is this your house?" I asked her. "Yep, I have a friend who is a nurse, so she bandaged you up, and we then got you here, but your clothes are there along with everything else you had." She tells me. "Thanks, I'll just change and be out of your way then." I tell her. She nods and smiles, then she walked out of the room.
I walked over to the couch, I was getting better at walking, I had to balance on my left leg a little more than the other one, but it was fine. I put all my clothes on and then put my belt on, I had my pokemon back, thank god. I then stepped out of the room, I saw Petra in a kitchen. "So where do I go now?" I asked her. She then looks up at me. "Oh, just follow me." She said as she stepped towards the door. She then opened it and motioned for me to leave. But on her finger I saw a ring, so she is married, but where is her husband, but I didn't ask. Thanks Petra, I won't forget this." I told her. "Don't mention it, and good job on the badge, and have a good day." She said as she shut the door.
I stepped out and into the city, I wasn't far from the pokecenter. I was gonna head there to get some supplies for the next town I visit. I started walking over to it. I stepped through through the doors. But then someone ran into me. I fell to the ground. My head was leaned back because I landed on my back. I then opened my eyes and looked up. I was going to say something but I saw a familiar face. It was Armin, wearing his visor and glasses. "Armin?" I asked him. His eyes went wide with excitement. "Eren, it's good to see you!" he said while helping me up. "It's good to see you too, but what are you doing here?" I asked him. "Well, to be honest it's to look for you, we saw that video of you fighting the gym leader, so we thought we would find you here." Armin told me. "Oh okay, wait, what do you mean by we?" I asked him. "Well, the path me and mikasa took led us down the same path, so we traveled together, we actually have a camp set up near here, come on, I'll show you." Armin said motioning me to follow him. I just followed him, I didn't ask anything else.
He led me out of the city and towards the woods. We went through some trees and I found the camp. It was two sleeping bags around a campfire, and something was cooking on the campfire. And Mikasa was sitting on a log. But when she saw me coming she sat up. "Eren!" She said as she ran up to me. She ran and wrapped her arms around me. "Hey Mikasa." I said smiling. "Oh my god Eren, I saw the video, are you okay, where did it hurt, are you injured?" She asked me suddenly."Mikasa, calm down I'm fine." I told her. She then let go of me and smiled. "I can't wait to show you the new pokemon me and Armin caught." She said. I smiled. "Yeah, i can't to show you mine too." I said. "I'll go first then." Armin said. Me and Mikasa went to sit down on the log, and Armin was standing. "Okay, so here's my first pokemon." Armin said throwing a pokeball in the air. It opened and then his bulbasaur popped out. "Bulba!" It said happily. It looked the same, but it was cute. "Okay, here's my second pokemon." Armin said throwing another pokeball in the air. This time a bird came out. "Wah!" It said as it flew in the air. It then swooped down and landed next to bulbasaur. "Wow, a pidgey." i said. It was big for a pidgey, but not scary looking. "Yep, but here's the next one." He said throwing another one in the air. This time a small mouse looking pokemon came. "A pikachu, where did you get one of those!" I said with my jaw to the floor. "Pika pi!" It said next to the other pokemon. 'Well,I found shortly after we left each other." He said laughing a bit. "I swear, it had the most powerful thunderbolt you've ever seen." Mikasa told me. "Well, here's my physic type pokemon!" Armin said proudly. Then he threw pokeball in the air and an Abra came out. "Abra." It said quietly. It was just sitting down, it looked asleep. "Is it asleep?" I asked Armin. The I felt something grab me, but there was nothing there, but I was in there air. I then looked at Abra, his hand was up and pointed at me, there was a purple light around it. "Abra." It said camly again. "Put him down." Armin told him. I then fell back on the log. I was shocked. "That thing is strong, sorry if I offended you buddy." I told him. It just looked at me with a calm face. "And here's my last one, sparky!" Armins aid throwing a pokeball in the air. Then out came a pokemon that looked liked Rainer, but it was yellow and looked more sharp. "Jolt!" It said proudly. "What's that?" I asked. "Why I'm glad you asked, that's Sparky, my Jolteon." Armins aid. "Jolt jolt." Sparky said. "That's cool Armin, I have a pokemon that looks like that." I told him.
Then Mikasa stood up. "You can show us after you see my pokemon." She said. She then threw three pokeballs into the air at once. First her charmander came out. 'Charmander!" It said happily. Then a pokemon that looked like an orange dog came out. "Woo." It said. Then came a vulpix, I knew what it was because Mikasa always wanted one when she was a kid. "Vulpix." it said in a high pitched voice. "These are Charmander, Growlithe, and Vulpix." Mikasa said proudy. "Wow, you finally got your hands on a Vulpix.' I said laughing a bit. "We saw it on the road about a week ago and she flipped out to catch the thing, but she got it and it's actually super powerful." Armins said. "But I have more." Mikasa said. Her pokemon then went to sit next to Armin's pokemon. She then threw a pokeball in the air. Another pokemon that looked like Rainer came out, but it was red and had fluffy hair. "Flareon!" It said. "Wow, you have cute looking pokemon." I said jokingly. " have just one more." Mikasa said smiling. Armin then sat up and motioned me to follow him. "What's wrong?" i asked him. He then looked at me with a serious look. "Trust me, you want to back up." He told me. We then backed up. Then Mikasa through her pokeball in the air. Then out came a giant titan of a pokemon. It was thirty feet tall and was entirely made of rock. "RAGH!" It screamed out loud. "This is Onix, most powerful pokemon!" Mikasa said proudly. I couldn't the words to speak right now. "That's...that's..that's a big pokemon." I finally said. "Yeah it is, I've never seen it be beat yet." Armin said. "Alright eren, you called my pokemon cute, so let's see yours." Mikasa says as she starting walking towards the log. Then Onix moved over a bit, but just looked menacing, like it was going to kill me and any given moment. But I stood up and walked over to where Mikasa was standing. I then reached for Squirtle's pokeball.
"Okay, so here's my first pokemon." I said throwing squirtle's pokeball in the air. He then came out and landed on the ground. "Squirtle!" He said proudly. I then reached for Starmie's pokeball. "Okay, my next pokemon, the only one who has evolved." I said throwing his pokeball in the air. Then Starmie came out. "Hya!" He said proudly. "Oh yeah, I remember seeing him evolve." Armin said. I then reached for Bud's pokeball. "Here's my next one!" I said. But out popped Psyduck. "PSY PSY!" It said holding its head. Armin and Mikasa then started laughing. "He looks confused Eren." Armin said laughing. "He's a powerful pokemon, but he's could be better, here's my next one." I said throwing Bud's actually pokeball out. Then out came Bud. "KARP KARP!" He said loudly. Armin and Mikasa started laughing even more. "Eren, those aren't meant for battle." Mikasa says holding back a laugh. "KARP KARP!" Bud said again. He was flopping around on the ground. I put him back in his pokeball. "I'm ignoring everything you just said, but here's my last one." I said throwing Rainer's pokeball. The she popped out. "Weev." She said happily. "Wiat, where did you get him from?" Armin asked me. "You mean her, and an old mangave her to me." I told him. "Wait, that's the one that bit Armin." Mikasa said. I then looked at my hand, which was bandaged. "Yeah, she scratched me too, but I love her." I said.
"Well Eren, we each got an Eevee from that guy, but we then went and bought three stones that evolved our Eevee, if you didn't know Eevee's have many evolutions." Armin tells me. "We actually got you a stone, here." Mikasa tells me pulling something out of her bag. She then got a small blue stone, it looked to be glowing partially. She handed it to me, and I just looked at it, something about it bothered me for some reason, but it also fascinated me. "So how do I use it?" I asked Armin. "You just touch Rainer with it." He told me. I turned and looked at rainer. "Is this okay with you girl?" I asked her. "Weev!" She said as she nodded. "Okay then, let's do this." I said. I then slowly move my hand towards her, with the stone in my hand. I then touch her with the stone. Then she starts glowing brightly. But while she was still glowing I saw her body changing, her tail got longer and I could see fins forming on her. Then the light faded away, and there stood a vaporeon. "Vapor!" She said happily as she jumped into my arms. I swung her around. "Rainer, you evolved!" I said happily. "She did, congratulations, you know have a Vaporeon." Armins said putting his hand on my shoulder. "Yeah, it's a good day." I said. "But, it's getting late, we should sleep." Mikasa said. "Yeah good idea, I'll set up the tents." Armin said.
"Wait you guys have tents?" I asked them. Mikasa gave me a weird look. "Of course we do, what do you sleep in?" She asks me. I then felt stupid, I left my tent at home. "Well, sometimes I might take the room in the pokecenter, but mostly just in my sleeping bag." I tell her. She put her hand on her face. "Oh you poor thing." She said.
While Armin was setting up the tents, me and Mikasa got all of our pokemon back in there balls, we even helped Armin and put his back, but Armin had the tents set up pretty quickly. "Okay, I'm going to hit the hay, thanks for the help, but goodnight." He said as he got in his green tent. I looked at Mikasa's, it was a red one. She then got in her ten. I was gonna set up my sleeping bag, but she motioned me to come closer. "What is it?" I asked ehr. "What do you mean, come sleep in the tent, there room." She told me. I wasn't going to argue, it did look comfortable. I climbed in. Mikasa was laying on a small air mattress, it blow up quickly so I wasn't wondering why it already was blown up. "Come on, you better get some sleep." She said. I walked over to the mattress, first I took off my shoes and jacket, then I lifted the blanket and got under the covers, but then I almost fell asleep, I was so tired. "Good night." I said as I drifted to sleep.
I opened my eyes, I felt at peace, for some reason. I then noticed something on my chest. Mikasa was sleeping on me again, she did this when we were kids. I carefully get up, and lay Mikasa down, back on the pillow, I then stood up and stepped out of the tent. I saw Armin Just chilling on the log, he looked at peace. He had a cup of tea in his hand. "Morning Armin." I said approaching the log. He then turned and smiled. "Good morning Eren, wanna sit?" He asks me scooting over to make some room. I went over and sat next to him. "So, how many badges do you guys have?" I asked him. "We each have two, but quick question, did you have something to do with the whole in the wall back in pewter city?" he asks me. I just look at him and smile. "Maybe." I said with a smile. He just shook his head and smiled. But then I heard something behind me. I saw Mikasa walking u. "Good morning guys, what are you guys doing up?" She asks us. "Nothing much, just talking." Armin said. Mikasa then comes over and sits next to me. I then looked to both of my sides. I smiled. "So here we are." I said out loud. Armin looked at me funny. "What do you mean Eren?" He asked me. "We're here, we've been talking about going on our pokemon adventure for years now, and here we are." I told him. He chuckled a bit, and looked at the forest. "You're right, which is why I think you should join me and Armin." Mikasa tells me. I thought about it. It would be nice to be with them. "Yeah Eren, you should come with us." Armin said. "Looks guys, I love you both, but I think I'm doing better making a name for myself, and actually I should head out soon." I said standing up. "Leaving, but you just got here!" Mikasa told me standing up as well. I then walked over to the tent and put on my short sleeve jacket. I then slipped on my shoes, then I put my bag on. "I want to stay, but I need to go." I told them. Mikasa looked devastated. "Okay, I respect that you want to make a name for yourself, but don't do anything stupid." Mikasa tells me. She then runs up and gives me a hug. I hugged her back, it was a tight hug, but a sincere one. I then let go and gave Armin a sincere handshake. "See you Eren." He told me. "See you man." i said. Then i walked away, leaving Mikasa and Armin behind, to start my adventure again.
