The Journey of Johto
Chapter 8
The next day, Jayden and his Pokemon woke up. They got themselves ready to go, but first they stopped in the cafeteria for a morning breakfast.
As soon as they finished eating, Jayden returned Chikorita and Misdreavus into the poke balls. Then he went to do the same for Larvitar, but Larvitar pretty much only stayed in there for a minute.
Now Larvitar is on the same position when Croconaw use to be on when it was a Totodile. So then they went to the front of the Pokemon center, with Larvitar on his shoulder and Charmeleon and Croconaw on either side of him.
When Joy saw them, she asks, "You going to the festival?"
"What festival?" Jayden asks in surprise.
Larvitar asks, "Lar?"
Charmeleon asks, "Char?"
Croconaw asks, "Croc?"
"There is a festival going on in the western part of the city, simple funs and games," said Joy.
All three Pokemon thought it would a fun thing to do, and they all look at Jayden with hopeful eyes. Jayden saw this, and said, "Alright, let's go to the festival." The Pokemon cheered after that, and so they left the center. They headed to the festival…
They are walking down the street, in the rather big festival. He and his Pokemon see a lot of people, and there are many stores around. There are also some games as well, and he and his Pokemon had some fun.
Soon, as they continue to look around. A man is sitting behind a table with a glass tank that holds a Magikarp. He called out to Jayden, "Hey you look like a smart lad, and how you would like to buy a Magikarp?"
Jayden and his Pokemon looks at him with a confused look, Jayden asks, "Why should I buy one when I could just go and catch one?"
"Okay, so not a Magikarp," said the man, and he pulls out a different Pokemon that almost looks like Magikarp but looks different. "How about this rare Feebas, and with some excellent training it will evolve into a Milotic."
Jayden and his Pokemon look at the Pokemon in surprise, and Jayden pulls out his Pokedex and scans it. The Pokedex said, "Magikarp, the fish Pokemon. It is generally regarded as the weakest Pokemon ever. How it has managed to survive is a mystery." After hearing that, Jayden and his Pokemon looks at the seller and the seller looks embarrassed.
Jayden said, "You are trying to trick me into buying a Magikarp. I should go tell Officer Jenny about you."
"Wait," said the seller, looks afraid. Puts down the Magikarp and that it is wrapped to look like a Feebas. He pulls up another makeshift Feebas, and said, "Take this real Feebas for free, and don't tell Officer Jenny of me."
"First, let's make sure you're telling the truth," Jayden said, and points his Pokedex at the Pokemon in the seller hands.
The Pokedex said, "Feebas, the fish Pokemon. Feebas can live anywhere because of its ability to eat anything."
"Good, now that is the real Feebas," said Jayden, and the seller gave him the actual Feebas.
The seller quickly packs up, and has a large bag on his back. He begins running, and soon they no longer see him anymore. Jayden pulls out a poke ball, and touches Feebas with it. Feebas went into the poke ball, and it beeps several times than stops. After that, he puts the poke ball into his pocket. It is beside his other two poke balls, Misdreavus and Chikorita.
So they continue walking on, but just than. "Croc," Croconaw said in surprise, it heard something that sounded familiar.
"What's the matter Croconaw?" Jayden asks his Pokemon.
"Char?" asked Charmeleon.
Larvitar asked, "Lar?"
Just then Croconaw runs off, and Jayden asks, "Where are you going Croconaw?" Than Jayden and Charmeleon follows behind, and Larvitar tries to see where Croconaw is going.
Soon they came upon a big crowd, Jayden caught up to his Croconaw. Jayden asks it, "What is the matter Croconaw?"
Then they heard, "Feraligatr, use ice beam." The voice sounded familiar, and then they heard an ice beam being fired at a Pokemon.
"It is a Pokemon battle," said Jayden, and so he and his Pokemon walk into the crowd. Trying to get through, and when they gotten in front of the crowd. Jayden stares in surprise…
They see Feraligatr beat a Scizor, and Scizor is frozen solid. But who told Feraligatr to use ice beam is the Kanto League winner, Josephiroth.
Josephiroth has blond hair; he wore a white tank top shirt. With a vest over it, the colors on the vest are red, yellow, and black. There are six ultra balls on the vest slots. He has black color bike gloves, black jeans, and black boots. He stands about six feet and three inches, and he looks like a strong trainer.
His Feraligatr is nine feet and seven inches tall, it suppose to be seven feet and seven inches tall. So Jayden watches the Pokemon battle.
"Return Zoc," said the trainer that is facing Josephiroth. He wore a black and white t-shirt with a dark brown jacket over it. Blue jeans, and red shows. He has a black backpack on his back, and he wears glasses. Black hair and he stands about six feet and two inches. Zoc is his Scizor that he called back into the poke ball. He said to his Pokemon, "You did your best Zoc, take a good rest." He puts the poke ball into his pocket, and pulls out another. He said, "Let's see if you can handle my best Pokemon, go Shade!"
He throws the poke ball, and a green Pokemon came out. It stands about two feet and eleven inches, long grass like leaf on its head. Two claws with three leafs on each arm, two leaf shape tails, red-pinkish underbelly and orange color eyes.
Jayden pulls out his Pokedex, and scans it. The Pokedex said, "Grovyle, the wood gecko Pokemon. Grovyle attacks its foe by jumping from branch to branch in the deep jungles."
"A grass type versus a water type," said Jayden, and he and his three Pokemon watches the battle.
"It would be wise of me to switch Pokemon," said Josephiroth. "But I will not, you have the first move."
"Grovyle, use leaf blade," said the trainer, and a Grovyle run straight at Feraligatr with leafs on its arms glowing.
"Going head on once more, well Feraligatr. Use hidden power," Josephiroth said, and Feraligatr uses hidden power. Orbs of energy come out of Feraligatr and then sends it straight at Grovyle. Stopping Grovyle and preventing of it to use the leaf blade attack. Then Josephiroth said, "Seismic Toss." Feraligatr runs at Grovyle, grabs it and jumps high and holds Grovyle tight.
"No Shade," said the trainer. Feraligatr spins around in the air couple of times, than headed straight back down. Getting close to the ground, Feraligatr slams Grovyle into the ground. Grovyle fainted, "No Shade," said the trainer in surprise. Then he calls Shade into its poke ball, and then looks at Josephiroth and Feraligatr. He said, "Thanks for a great battle, but too bad it was so fast."
"No problem, and here is what you get for facing me in a Pokemon battle," said Josephiroth, and the trainer gotten a diamond emblem in front of him.
"Thank you," said the trainer, and so he left. He probably went to go to the Pokemon center.
Josephiroth calls back his Feraligatr, and looks at the crowd. He asks, "So is there any other trainer who would like to have a Pokemon battle against me?"
Several people stick their hands up, wanting to be next. So did Jayden, he really wants to face him. Josephiroth looks at the faces of several trainers, than he spotted Jayden. Seeing Larvitar on his shoulder and the other two Pokemon are on either side of him. So Josephiroth said, "I think I will face you next young one. You and that Larvitar on your shoulder..."
Jayden stares in surprise, and he was glad he got picked to go face him next. He and his two Pokemon rushes to the spot where that trainer that once stood...
Jayden asks, "So how many Pokemon do we use in this battle?"
Josephiroth looks at him, seeing his Pokemon. It seems that Croconaw and Charmeleon are ready to face him, but Larvitar is a young one. So he said, "Two on two will do." He picks an ultra ball from his vest, and throws it. He said, "Go Meganium!"
A big Pokemon came out; it stands about seven feet and eleven inches. Light green body, long neck and tail. Flower like petals around its neck, and green caring eyes. Meganium almost looks like she wanted to give Josephiroth a hug, but seeing everyone watching her. She looks at Jayden, ready to battle.
Jayden pulls out his Pokedex, and scans it. His Pokedex said, "Meganium, an herb Pokemon. Meganium is the final evolve form of Chikorita. Meganium has the ability to bring dead plants and flowers back to life. All it has to do is breathe onto them."
"A grass type," he said, he looks at Charmeleon. Charmeleon nodded, and Jayden said, "Go Charmeleon."
"Char," said Charmeleon, preparing to battle.
"Prepare to loose young one," said Meganium, and this surprised Charmeleon, and Larvitar. But everyone else knows of all of Josephiroth's Pokemon, that they can speak human language.
"Young one, you have the first move," said Josephiroth.
"Charmeleon, use flamethrower," said Jayden, and Charmeleon uses flamethrower.
"Double Team," said Josephiroth, and Meganium makes several copies of herself. The flamethrower struck the original place of where Meganium was, and struck through. It was a copy, and Josephiroth said, "Body slam."
The copies disappeared, and Charmeleon turns too late. Meganium uses body slam, slamming onto Charmeleon hard. As soon after, Meganium gets up and walks off Charmeleon. Charmeleon lies there, fainted.
Jayden stares in surprise, than calls Charmeleon back into its poke ball. He looks at the poke ball, and said, "You deserve a good rest." Than he looks at Croconaw, and asks, "Are you ready to go?"
"Croconaw," said Croconaw, and Croconaw walks onto the battle.
"This is interesting," Josephiroth said, but didn't sound interested.
"I know you, I saw you dance with Feraligatr in Professor Elm's lab," said Meganium, and this surprised Jayden. No wonder Croconaw rushes over here, it knows Feraligatr.
"Well Jayden, you have the first move once more," said Josephiroth.
"Bite attack," Jayden said, and Croconaw went straight at Meganium with jaws wide open.
"Vine whip, grab it and slam it into the ground," said Josephiroth, Meganium uses vine whip. One vine came out from under one of its petals, and went straight at Croconaw. Grabs it in the middle, and lifted it into the air. Then brought it down, slamming Croconaw into the ground. It was a strong move, and Meganium removes her vine.
"The end of the match," said Josephiroth.
But then, Croconaw slowly raises itself up. This surprised him a little, a very strong vine whip and slamming it into the ground wasn't enough.
"Can you go on Croconaw?" Jayden asks, sounded worried.
Croconaw nodded, and Jayden said, "Alright than, use ice beam." Croconaw uses ice beam, sending a white beam right at Meganium. Grass types are also weak against ice attacks.
"Substitute," said Josephiroth, and just then the ice beam collided. Burst and caused smoke to envelop it.
"Great shot Croconaw," said Jayden, but then he saw Meganium at a different position.
"You struck a copy, and now Meganium. Use energy ball," Josephiroth said, and Meganium creates a ball of energy in her mouth. Then fires it and it went and strikes hard on Croconaw.
Croconaw falls backwards, landing on its back fainted. Jayden looks at Croconaw in surprise, and calls it back into the poke ball. He looks at it, and said, "You deserve a good rest Croconaw."
"Now young one, you deserve this," Josephiroth said, and an item appears in front of Jayden. He and Larvitar looks at in surprise, it is a diamond emblem.
Jayden took hold of it, and said, "Thank you Josephiroth." Jayden puts it into his pocket, and he leaves the crowd. From behind him, he heard Josephiroth say another challenge for another trainer. Too bad he couldn't stay to see it; he wants to heal his two Pokemon. So he headed to the Pokemon center…
Later, Jayden and Larvitar came back to the Pokemon center. Than handed Nurse Joy his two poke balls, Charmeleon and Croconaw. Nurse Joy said they'll be ready tonight, and Jayden and Larvitar decided to stay at the Pokemon center for a while.
Just than, nearby he sees the trainer he saw faced Josephiroth before him. So he walks over to him, the trainer sat on a chair, reading a book.
When he looks up, he sees Jayden. He asks, "May I help you?"
"Just came over to say hi," said Jayden.
"Larvitar," said Larvitar, still on Jayden's left shoulder.
"Well hello to you too," said the trainer.
Jayden sat down on a chair, and said, "My name is Jayden, and this is Larvitar."
"My name is Andy, it is nice to meet you two," Andy said, and he puts a book mark in his book. Closed it, and puts it into his big backpack. Andy said, "I am from the Hoenn region, and I came here to face the Johto league. How about you...?"
"I'm from New Bark Town, and I too am facing the Johto League," said Jayden.
"Tell me, have you faced Josephiroth before?" Andy asks him.
"Yeah, just right after you. But I lost," said Jayden.
"Ah, so did me, I wonder if there is a trainer out there that can beat him," said Andy. "Josephiroth beaten my best buddies, and now I am stuck here and waiting for them to be healed."
"He beaten my Croconaw and Charmeleon, and I too have to wait here," said Jayden. "But one day, I will beat him."
"I wonder how many people dream that," said Andy, and so they talk for a while. Soon these two trainers became good friends, as they spoke with each other.
Later, as the sun begins to set, someone came into the Pokemon center. Both Andy and Jayden turned to look who has arrived, and they are surprise to see Josephiroth there.
Josephiroth went up the counter, gave Joy three ultra balls and asked to just heal them. Which will be sometime soon, since those three Pokemon aren't very tired.
Josephiroth turns to go sit down, but than he sees the two trainers he faced before. So he walks towards them, and said, "Hello there, may I sit here to wait for my Pokemon to be fully healed?"
"Okay, sure," said Jayden, looking at Josephiroth in surprise. Josephiroth went and sat down in the chair, and looks at them.
"My name is Andy," said Andy.
"My name is Jayden, it is nice to meet you," said Jayden, still sounded surprise. Larvitar looks at Josephiroth, when he looks at it. Larvitar tries to hide behind Jayden's head, feeling a little shy.
"Hello Andy and Jayden," said Josephiroth. Than he said to Larvitar, "There is no need to be shy Larvitar, there is nothing to fear."
Larvitar heard him, than gets off of Jayden's shoulder and sat down on Jayden's lap. Than Larvitar begins saying Larvitar over and over, seems to be talking to Josephiroth.
"Oh I see, so Jayden is your mother," said Josephiroth.
"I forgot you can understand Pokemon," Jayden said, he did forgotten. Josephiroth explained in the past that he is a God. Understanding them, and what happens when he catches Pokemon.
"It is alright," said Josephiroth. Than he looks at Larvitar, and said, "I too had to take care of young ones. I have a feeling your Larvitar will be strong in the future." Than he turns to look at Andy, and said, "And your Pokemon certainly are strong, it was a fun battle we had."
"Yeah, but it was a fast six on six battle. My Pokemon couldn't take down your Feraligatr," Andy said.
"Ah, but one day you'll become much stronger," said Josephiroth. Than he said to both of them, "You two show promise, and I think you two deserve something better."
This made both Jayden and Andy look at him with a surprise and confuse look. Josephiroth puts his right hand out, and suddenly an orb of light appears in his hand. He said, "Place your hand upon this orb."
Both Jayden and Andy place their hand upon the orb, and Josephiroth said, "Now I grant you two a new useful ability, I hope you two do well." The orb faded, and soon there is nothing in there hands. Both Jayden and Andy look at their palms in surprise wonder.
Jayden turns to look at Josephiroth, and asks, "What did you do?"
"Is it something special?" Larvitar asked, and this made Jayden and Andy look at Larvitar in surprise.
Josephiroth laughs, and said, "I have granted you two the ability to hear of what the Pokemon is speaking. Now you two can understand your Pokemon much clearer."
"This is unbelievable," said Andy, sounded happy, surprise and confused.
"It maybe unbelievable Andy, but it is a very special gift," said Josephiroth. He stands back up, and seems he is about to walk away.
Than Jayden asks, "Why did you give us this special gift?"
"Like I said before, you two show promise. I just hope that you two do well," said Josephiroth.
Than Jayden asks another question, "Um before you go. Can you answer my two questions?"
"Sure," said Josephiroth, and he sat back down.
"What is this promise you speak of?" Jayden asks.
"First in order to answer that, I have to wait," said Josephiroth.
"Like a test," said Andy, now understanding it. Josephiroth nodded, and so Andy said, "You want to see if we are worthy to have this gift."
"If that is so, than I promise you that I will succeed," said Jayden. Than he asks his next question, "How did you and all of your Pokemon became strong so fast? As I recall, you became very strong in just a month. I don't understand how you and the rest of your Pokemon do that."
Josephiroth tries to decide of how to answer that, than he said, "Well how I do that, is that I train all my Pokemon together on my travels."
"You mean you are carrying more than six Pokemon with you at this very moment?" Andy asks in surprise.
"Yes," said Josephiroth, and he pulls the side of his vest to reveal several slots inside that holds many ultra balls.
"But isn't that against the rules?" Jayden asks him.
"I can only use six Pokemon, but I am taking care of all my Pokemon. Like you when your parents take care of your caught Pokemon while you travel around," Josephiroth said. "Since I have no one to take care of my Pokemon, I must do it myself. Pretty much you can only use six Pokemon in Pokemon battles. So I select six Pokemon each day, and only use those six the rest of the day. Pretty much anyone can do this, and I can be with all my Pokemon."
"So I can do this too?" Jayden asks him, and he nodded.
"Do you two want to do what I am doing?" Josephiroth asks them, and they both nodded. "Than please show me your pokedexes," he said, and they both showed him their pokedexes.
Josephiroth took hold of Jayden's Pokedex, and did a little something. Than handed it back to him, and then did the same thing on Andy's Pokedex. Soon he was done…
"What did you do?" Andy asks.
"All I did is cancellation, when you catch a Pokemon. They will not be transported when you only have six," Josephiroth said. "If there are any Pokemon you two have left at home because you only have six, well now you can carry any amount of Pokemon you want. But remember, if you intend to battle. Pick six and stay with those six when you go to a Pokemon battle." He got up, and said, "One day you two, we shall meet once more. Then we will have a much better Pokemon battle. See you two some other time," and he walks away. Headed back to the counter, and picks up his three Pokemon. He left the Pokemon center.
Jayden and Andy look at each other, and Andy got up. He said, "Well, since I am doing what he does. I am going to go get my two Pokemon from home, be right back." He headed to the machine that transport Pokemon, and activates it.
Jayden watches him, than looks down at Larvitar. He asks, "So how do you feel Larvitar?"
"After what has happen mother, I am glad that you can listen to me much clearer," Larvitar said.
"Can you just call me father, I'm not a mother," Jayden asks Larvitar. He than realizes that his Larvitar sounded male, listening to Larvitar's voice.
"Alright father," Larvitar said, and went hugs Jayden's chest.
Soon, Andy came back. He is carrying to poke balls with him. Than he puts them into his pocket, and sat back down. He looks at Jayden, and asks, "So where are you going to next?"
Jayden said, "Azalea Town, to get my next badge."
"So am I," said Andy. "Maybe we should travel together."
"Sure, it is always fun to travel with a friend," said Jayden.
"It is always fun," said Larvitar, sounded happy.
A thought came to mind, and Andy asks, "How come you don't keep your Pokemon in their poke balls?"
"Well I thought that keeping my Pokemon out, they can keep me company as we travel. Traveling alone isn't fun you know," said Jayden, and Larvitar agrees.
"Ah well that is fine," said Andy.
"I have three more Pokemon with me, one of them I think I best keep in there," said Jayden.
"Well we can show each other of our Pokemon tomorrow," said Andy. Than he got up, and said, "I am going to get my Pokemon, and have our late lunch."
"We'll do the same," said Jayden, he got up and Larvitar got onto his left shoulder.
Andy went up to the counter, and picks up his six poke balls. Than Jayden arrives behind him, and got his two poke balls. Andy headed to the cafeteria, and Jayden stayed behind. He let's out his Charmeleon and Croconaw.
"Ah feel much better," said Croconaw, sounded male.
Charmeleon stretches, and looks up at Jayden. Than it asks, "Anything you need friend?" It too sounded male.
"Glad you feel much better Croconaw," said Jayden. "And there is nothing I need Charmeleon, we should go and have our late lunch."
Both Croconaw and Charmeleon look at Jayden in surprise, and Croconaw asks, "When did you start knowing what we say?"
"You must've been acting for quite a while," said Charmeleon.
"Well, you see," Jayden said, he is about to tell them.
"Josephiroth granted him a gift to understand Pokemon speech," said Larvitar, and this surprised them.
So Jayden explains of what has happen since they lost a while ago. Soon both Charmeleon and Croconaw understand, and soon they headed to the cafeteria.
As they are nearing, they could hear Andy talking to one of his Pokemon. "You see guys; the famous Josephiroth has granted me a gift of understanding Pokemon speech. Now we can talk to each other much easier."
As soon as they entered, Jayden and his three Pokemon saw a lot of Pokemon and Andy. Appears that they are the only ones in the room, and so they walk in.
"Hey Andy, so this is all of your Pokemon?" Jayden asks, seeing eight different Pokemon.
"Yeah," said Andy. Than he looks at his Pokemon, he said, "He and I will be traveling together to Azalea Town."
Than that same Grovyle walks forward to greet them, and said, "Well hello Jayden, Charmeleon, Croconaw, and Larvitar. My name is Shade." Shade's voice sounds male.
"Hi Shade," said Jayden, and his Pokemon also said hello. Than Jayden said, "I best bring out my other Pokemon." He takes out three of his poke balls, and sent them out. First is Feebas, than Chikorita, and finally Misdreavus.
As soon after, Jayden explains to them that he and Andy can understand them. It just so happens, that all three of them sound female. Both Chikorita and Feebas like the gift that Josephiroth has given to Jayden. Misdreavus likes it too, and even more when she scares him some more.
So Andy used his Pokedex to scan Jayden's Pokemon, and Jayden did the same. First he starts off with the one that Andy calls Zoc. Zoc stood on two legs, and is about five feet and eleven inches. Two claws with eye shape patterns on each. His Pokedex says, "Scizor, the scissors Pokemon. Scizor intimidates its foes by raising its pincers, which have a distinctive eye-shaped pattern on them."
"Nice to meet you," said Zoc, Zoc sounds male. Jayden said hi back.
Than he points his Pokedex at the one Andy call Terrador, it is two feet and eleven inches tall. It walks on four legs, and is covered in iron like armor. His Pokedex said, "Lairon, the iron armor Pokemon. To bulk up, Lairon digs up and eats iron ore. It also smashes its strong body against others to fight for territory."
"Hello," said Terrador, Terrador sounds male. Jayden said hi back.
Than he points his Pokedex at the one Andy call Matas, it is about three feet and seven inches tall. It has four wings, two on top of two. Red eyes, desert color body, and four legs. The Pokedex said, "Vibrava, the Vibration Pokemon. By using ultrasonic waves and flapping its wings rapidly, Vibrava can cause headaches in some people."
"Hello there," said Matas, than it went back to eating. Vibrava sounds male, and Jayden said hi back.
Than he points his Pokedex at the one Andy calls Gandray, it is about eight feet and ten inches tall. Snake like body, with a sharp tail and two red fangs. Its color is black, with yellow and blue patterns. Its eyes and the side of its sharp tail are red. The Pokedex said, "Seviper, the fang snake Pokemon. Seviper uses rocks to sharpen its tail for battle. Its greatest rival is Zangoose."
"Nice to meet you Jayden," said Gandray, sounded female. Jayden said hi back.
Than he points his Pokedex at the one Andy calls Cyril, it is about three feet and eleven inches tall. White fur walks on four legs, sharp looking tail. Its tail, face, and its nails are dark bluish color. Its eyes are red, and it looks at Jayden with a serious look. The Pokedex said, "Absol, the Disaster Pokemon. When you see Absol, it means that disaster is imminent – so don't stay put. Absol only appears to those it wants to warn."
"Don't worry, there is no disaster," said Cyril, still looks serious and it's sounded male. Jayden said hi back.
Than he pointed the Pokedex at the one Andy calls Fireheart, and Jayden recognizes it to be a Cyndaquil. Andy said he is from Hoenn, and Elm said he gave Cyndaquil to someone from Kanto. So it must mean that Andy caught Cyndaquil in the wild. His Pokedex said, "Cyndaquil, the fire mouse Pokemon. The flames on Cyndaquil's back will burn more brightly if it is startled."
"Hi," said Fireheart, it sounded male. Cyndaquil is about one foot and eight inches tall, and he is just eating his food without looking up. Jayden said hi back.
Than he points the Pokedex at the last of Andy's Pokemon that he calls Brightheart. It is at the same height as Cyndaquil, and has black fur. The Pokedex said, "Poochyena, the bite Pokemon. Poochyena never gives up, chasing down foes until they are utterly exhausted." The image on the Pokedex shows that Poochyena has dark and grey fur.
"Surprise to meet you," said Brightheart, looking at him with a smile. Brightheart sounded female.
Jayden said hi back, and then Andy asks, "So you chose not to nickname your Pokemon?"
"Never thought of it," said Jayden, looking at his Pokemon. Than he said, "But I think they are perfect without a nickname, and it would be easier for me to remember."
"I agree with that, I prefer to be just called Charmeleon," said Charmeleon, and he nodded. All of the rest of Jayden's Pokemon agrees with him.
"You guys are lucky, ever since my trainer caught me. I had to stay with his older sister, and she nicknamed me Brightheart," said Brightheart.
"And I too, Andy's big sister likes our names to be between cool and cute," said Fireheart, he continues eating.
They heard a stomach growl, and they all look at Croconaw. Croconaw has his claws on his stomach and looking down at it with a sad face. He asks, "When are we going to have food?"
"Just give me a minute," said Jayden, and he walks towards the food counter.
"I'll help you," said Charmeleon, coming over to him to help him carry plates of Pokemon food for his friends. Soon all of Jayden's Pokemon is eating their food, and Jayden made a sandwich and sat beside Croconaw and Charmeleon.
Andy sat in his chair; he already had his own lunch. He is waiting for his Pokemon to be done, and he looks at Jayden sitting with his Pokemon. Than he looks at Feebas, she happily eats her Pokemon food.
But there is a question; Feebas can only be found in the rivers in Hoenn and Sinnoh. He looks at Jayden, and asks, "Where did you catch Feebas?"
Jayden took a bite of his sandwich, and looks up at Andy. He said after swallowing, "A man gave her to me right after I found out he is tricking people by selling them Magikarp. He gave me Feebas in hopes of me not telling Officer Jenny, but I was going to tell Jenny because of what he is doing. But as soon after, he fled. I don't know where he went…"
"And he is such a horrible human, I am glad that I am no longer with him," said Feebas, as she happily eats her food.
"Well now you are with good friends," said Chikorita.
"Yeah, we are your friends after all," said Larvitar.
"Well at least that is a good thing," said Andy, and he just listens to his Pokemon eat their food. He looks down, and puts his right hand into his big backpack and pulls out a book. He started reading.
Jayden soon finished his sandwich, and looks at his Pokemon enjoy their food. Than he looks up at Andy, seeing he is reading a book. So Jayden asks, "What are you reading?"
"A book about Pokemon," said Andy, he turns the page. "I am not just a trainer, but I am trying to be a breeder."
"A breeder, sounds interesting," said Jayden; he knows few things about breeders. His mother likes to watch a show on TV about a breeder, and what they do is try to raise Pokemon in a good way. Breeders are similar to trainers, but they don't focus on battling. They focus to make their Pokemon more healthy and great. Not too mention, that some great coordinators are also Pokemon breeders.
Soon all the Pokemon are done eating, and Andy calls back his Pokemon into their poke balls. Jayden would've done the same, but first he went and checks on the red-yellow egg. Andy saw the egg, and he asks, "Where did you get the Pokemon egg?"
"I got it along with Larvitar when he was an egg, and with Charmeleon from a man who really wanted the golden Magikarp," said Jayden.
"Yeah, that man only wanted the strongest Pokemon. So he just trades me and the two eggs to get a rare Magikarp. I bet he thinks that with his kind of training, he would have the strongest Pokemon he will ever have," said Charmeleon, didn't sound so happy about it.
"Well that is one lucky trade," said Andy. Then he puts his backpack on his back, and he yawned. He said, "Well I am tired; see you guys in the morning." He headed to the hallway, and Jayden and his Pokemon said goodnight. Andy walks into one of the rooms that trainers can use to sleep in for the night at the Pokemon center.
So right after, Jayden picks up Feebas. Than they headed to their room and Jayden puts Feebas down on the bed. Than puts his backpack beside the bed, and sat down. Feebas flips, and nearly fell to the floor but Chikorita caught her in using vine whip. Jayden lies down on the bed, and Chikorita puts Feebas beside his right leg. Than she hops up onto the bed, and went to lie down on his chest. Larvitar gets onto the bed, and lies down beside him. Misdreavus went to her original spot where she always relaxes, and that is beside his head. Since there is no room for Croconaw and Charmeleon to get onto the bed, they lied down beside the bed. Charmeleon lies down right beside the backpack, and with his heat it will keep the egg in the backpack nice and warm.
