A/N: Thanks so much to Venusaurite for their very encouraging review! You have no idea how great it is to have your review pop up hours after I posted. The reason I chose Stantler was mainly due to the fact how underrated it is. Its not very popular so I thought that my story had a chance to seem original.

Warning, Stantler's kind of a jerk, so he will be swearing...Pokemon style.

Soooooo Bored! I thought Elm said they would be here after lunch! It's almost 3:00!

Stantler got up from his bed and began to pace in the room.

Maybe Elm received word from the League that I'm irredeemable and he's figuring out the best way to tell me that I'm being put down? Or what if El Stupido told Sabrina that I don't want another trainer and they're planning on wiping ALL of my memories? What if I can't remember Mama and Dad anymore? Granted not having to remember all of my stupid Bouffalant cousins would be sweet. Heh, this might not be so bad.

Stantler's thoughts were interrupted when the door opened. Leader Sabrina of the Saffron Gym walked in with her Alakazam, who acted as her interpreter for Sabrina during their therapy sessions.

Sabrina slowly approached Stantler before stating in a monotone, "Hello Stantler, how are you doing today?"

Wow, way to show some empathy. 'Oh, let's taunt the poor little Stantler whose been stuck in this room for 3 months, and ask him how he's doing as if anything could have possibly changed in the week he hasn't seen me.'

"Nyuuuu. Nyuff. Nyuff"

You're in a fine form today Stantler. Special occasion? Or is that just your way of showing enthusiasm about us visiting you.

"Alakazam. Alaka."

Arceus, why do you even talk? You do realize that you're just a mouthpiece to Sabrina, right?

"Nyu."

You're just jealous that I actually have the ability to communicate with them, and therefore not get treated like a hatchling.

"Kazam. Alaka."

Sabrina watched this display go on, before finally backing away from Stantler.

"Well are you two done bickering? I do have other tasks that need my attention."

Sorry Sabrina.

"Alakazam."

"That's quite alright. However, we do need to get started. We're already running behind. Alakazam, Link us."

Of course.

"Ala."

Alakazam raised his arms into the air and twisted his hands so that the spoons he was hold pointed to each other. His eyes then turned blue.

"Al..a..kaZAM."

"There. Now we can understand one another."

I don't know who you're trying to kid lady, but me and Alakazam could understand you and each other just fine. You're the only one who hasn't learned Common Pokémon yet. And don't try and pretend that you understand Alakazam. You're cheating by using Psychic.

You shouldn't talk to Sabrina like that. Believe it or not, humans literally cannot hear Common. All they hear is us saying a various assortment of sounds that sound like our names.

"What Alakazam is trying to hint at is that I am a Gym Leader, and your designated human counselor. That means that if I believe that you aren't ready to move on to the next stage of your rehabilitation…then you stay here."

Wow! How kind of you to let me know that I should police my own thoughts, just in case I offend you with my lack of respect. Thank you. REALLY.

"I did not realize that sarcasm is so easily conveyed via Psychic."

You learn something new every day.

"Now to get down to business. As Professor Elm has most likely told you, you are reaching a point where both I and the Pokémon League feel like you have healed as much as you can from the incident in solitary confinement. At this point in time we are beginning to search for a trainer willing to adopt you and help you heal you regarding your feelings towards humans and battling."

I never want to battle again, and quite frankly I really don't feel like interacting with humans too much either. Can't you just ship me back to Kalos and let me live on the ranch? At least there I can hide in the woods.

"You can't run away from your problems. The only way you will ever be fully healed is by interacting with humans and other Pokémon again. Quite frankly, following the plan of the League is your only option besides being put down. And we haven't cleared you to be mentally competent yet, so don't even think about replying that that is what you wish to be done."

…whatever. You can take me out of this room but there's no way you can make me like the sucker that's getting me.

"All we can ask is that you not cause any more problems. You can be as stubborn as you want, but if your trainer orders you to stop, then you better stop. This is your only chance."

Trust me, I will NEVER battle again so me using my attacks are pretty much a guaranteed zero.

"Very well. Alakazam, unlink us. We are done for the day. I will send word when we have an appropriate trainer for you."

Alakazam raised his spoons again, and his eyes slowly returned to normal.

Goodbye Stantler, hopefully we won't have to see each other for quite some time.

"Ala. Al "

Go shave your mustache ya hippie.

"Nyuuuuuuuuuuu!"

With that final rejoinder, Sabrina and Alakazam left the room. Leaving Stantler to sulk in peace and quiet.

Professor Elm's Lab

After leaving Stantler in his room, Sabina and Alakazam see Professor Elm working on some paperwork in the main part of the laboratory.

"Professor Elm, we're finished."

At hearing his name Professor Elm looks up, and smiles.

"Wonderful! Oh Sabrina I'm so glad that you and Alakazam were assigned to his case. I mean just how wonderful is it to really understand what Bash is saying. He's just the cutest little guy, isn't he?"

Sabrina and Alakazam share a look before Sabrina replies, "We agree that it's for the best that I can actually understand what is going on and whether or not the Stantler is willing to try to make up for what he has done. However, Stantler does not wish to have another trainer. In fact is doesn't wish to interact with anyone be it Pokémon or person."

"Well he has been under a lot of stress, and it's understandable that he doesn't trust himself around other Pokémon. It's also understandable that he blames his trainer for constantly ordering him to use that move. But Bash..."

"Stantler." Sabrina interjected.

"What?"

"The League and Stantler have agreed that him using the nickname Bash is a bad idea. The name was used to identify him in the papers, and if he is ever in a battle again, we can't have people realized that he killed a Pokémon. They most likely riot and try to put him down in fear that he would attack again. No, once a new trainer is found and informed of his probation, 'Bash' will be wiped from the registry, and he will either go by Stantler or a new nickname that the trainer gives him."

"Oh…I had no idea. Oh dear, I've been calling him Bash this entire time! I hope he can forgive me! Excuse me I have to go see Bash, I mean Stantler right away!"

Professor Elm quickly jumped up from his seat and ran to Stantler's room. Sabrina and Alakazam looked at where the Professor just was when they hear a startled, "NYUUUUU!"

"OH STANTLER I AM SO SORRY! CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME FOR USING THAT NAME!?"

"NYUFF! NYUFF! NYUFF!"

Sabrina looks at Alakazam, "Care to translate that for me old Friend?"

Alakazam chuckled.

"Of Course Sabrina. Basically it was 'What in Palkia's name are you doing jumping on me like that!' Then it was "Can't Breath. Please let. Go Elm.'"

Sabrina giggled, "Oh Professor Elm, if only you had the time for Stantler. It would only take a few days before he would learn to trust humans again."

"Doesn't Professor Elm have a son that is working out in the field as both a trainer and researcher?"

"Alakazam, you are a genius. We need to inform the League, and possibly go hunt down Jr."

"Perhaps we should also inform Professor Elm that his son is a candidate? Possibly the only candidate?"

"It can wait. Besides, Professor Elm enjoys happy surprises."

Not even waiting for Elm to exit Stantler's room, Sabrina and Alakazam exited the lab in order to report on Stantler, and that they may have found a candidate for Stantler's new trainer.

A/N: Now before anyone get's upset that I added an OC, I looked it up. Professor Elm DOES in fact have an unamed son. And hopefully Elm jr's personallity is just as...bubbly as his father's. Stantler needs love.

Posting will be sporatic. The only reason this got up so fast was because I was off from school and wroter chapter 1 and 2 together. I will try my best but besides school and a job, I also help with another story. Inner Darkness by Dr. Ninja Monkey. Look it up if you're into League of Legends.
