Pokemon: Lands of Fate
A.N. – Hello readers! These will generally be posted in clusters. This is because I write in school, where I now cannot bring my phone. So first, it's written in pencils then, when I feel like it, I'll type, send, then post. It's not me writing them in bursts.
Disclaimer – I don't own Pokemon.
Chapter Four: On short hand
"Amazing! To see our first prototype work so perfectly is stunning!" a female voice exclaims. The voice sounds vaguely familiar.
"Who is this?" I ask, looking around frantically.
"I'm Julia. From the lab, I'm taking over while John is on break," Julia answers.
"Are you the neon orange lab coat lady?" I question.
"Yes I am. Sorry about your loss. But, it works!" Julia cheers.
"I don't mind losing. I did better than ever before!" I say, excitedly, starting to walk again. "Why are you surprised? You made an interdemensional portal?" I question.
"You've really been learning to ask questions, haven't you? It wasn't just that we did it. We were just assistants who were told what to do when that team broke into our labs," Julia explains, calming down.
"Sorry, I didn't know," I apologize.
"It's fine. We did what they wanted us to do. So don't fail us. I hope you do well," Julia says.
"Thanks. But I have one more question. Why did that coin flip? I thought I had to train," I question.
"I set it that way. John wouldn't have known. I have it set so that non-moving targets set off the coin flip. That way you don't cheat. I also made it the same with dodge, so you can't move until they do. Now I need to go," says Julia.
After walking for a while, I finally run into the forest. In the distance, I see a bunch of skyscrapers. I starting toward them and, in twenty minutes (and quite a few breaks) later, I reach the city.
"Can you show me where I can buy supplies?" I ask what I believe to be a police officer.
"Sure. Two streets down, take a right and a few buildings down there's a store. Welcome to Stahlzwinger City," he says.
I follow his directions, walking past food carts and trucks with food of every description. As I come up to the building, I realize it is a mall. Or at least that is how big it is. Inside there is everything from food to pets and clothing. Not to mention everything in between plus some. I go over to customer service.
"Is there any way I could earn enough Geld to buy a week's supply of food?" I ask.
"Yes. We are a bit short of supply of battlers," they respond.
"I'm not very good, though," I explain sadly.
"That's perfect! We are short on supply because we pay our battlers to lose but make it look real. If they get too good, we have to fire them. You are hired!" They exclaim.
A.N. – I hope you enjoyed this chapter! When reading my stories, you should look up what weird names for places mean in German. You'll get a kick. I need a name by the week after this being posted or it will be cheesy. Not as bad as I originally planned. Endrew out!
