A/N: I'm going to keep this short and sweet so here goes. This is NOT a self insert and there will only be one outside reference to Final Fantasy in the form of a custom made airship that Kai dubs "Highwind Zero". Mainly because a possible question that may be asked could be "How is Kai's harem going to travel with him? In pokeballs?" The answer to that is no. I mean, they ARE half human/pokemon hybrids after all so I wanted to have Kai take them in something big enough to fit ALL of his harem and I thought to myself... "Airship". Trust me, it won't really start to appear until much later. Also, one last thing; unlike in the games where they can only have 4 moves, the Pokegirls because of their 'unique' being can use any move be it learned, egg, tutor, or TM/HM and won't be limited to only using 4 moves in battle. There may also be some moments of "anime physics" involved with this story also (ex: Ash having Swellow and Pikachu perform the infamous 'Thunder Armor' manuver or even the fact that Pikachu was able to shock Blaine's Rhydon into submission because of the fact that it has a metal horn) so when they do happen, trust me. YOU WILL KNOW. Anyway, on with the story.
Chapter 2: Quilava, I choose you!
After resting for a bit, heading back to Pallet Town in the aftermath of that incident at the nearby harbor, Kai finds a lab sitting on a hill with a windmill. "Ok, I think this is the place." he says remembering a random passerby's words looking for the Oak lab. "Tell me, where is your dad now Kai?" asks Quilava walking beside him with a curious look. "He's still in the Sinnoh region like always. I hear that now he helps out Professor Rowan with his research and in turn, Rowan helps him try to unravel the mystery of you guys." She looks at him with a tilt of her head at his words and asks "Us?" He then stops for a second and rubs his head "I'm not really sure I understand it myself but if I had to guess... dad was trying to make a Pokemon-human hybrid because up until now there are several types of pokemon that could pass for humans if thought about in a certain way. What they are, I haven't really thought about it too much because in the end, I feel like that when he succeeded that they wouldn't be any different than humans except that they still would have their moves and abilities just like every pokemon out there." This causes her to look down at her hands and she contemplates the thought. "But then again, when I met you just now I have to admit; you surprised me." "Huh?" "Well you see, I knew that dad managed to succeed but I had no idea just HOW much you would look like a human but yet I can still see you as a pokemon also." He then smiles and tells her "In fact, there was something I've been wanting to do to you for a few minutes now." "What was that?" she asks curiously until he walks up to her and pets her on the head "This." he simply says. At this, she smiles and giggles "Hey, that feels pretty nice." He then remarks "Hmm, you feel pleasantly warm." She then grins and says "Well I AM a fire type." And with that rather warm moment (no pun intended) they go to Oak's lab.
[Professor Oak's Lab]
Kai and Quilava walk through the entrance and see a few aides and walk up to one of them. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Professor Oak. Is he here?" The aide then looks up and replies "He is, can I help you?" "Yes actually, you see; I just rescued this girl here and well as you can see this is a bit of a 'unique' situation..." The aide then looks Quilava over and asks "What's her name?" "Oh, I'm Quilava sir." At this, he jumps back and asks "Wait... WHAT did you say?" "Her name is Quilava and before you say it... no, it is no coincidence. This is why I need to see Oak." "I see, I'll get him right away." And so, the aide rushes off to get the professor when in enters another girl much like Quilava except this one had her back covered with a sturdy looking shell and two cannons in it along with wearing a yellow striped two piece bikini. Also, noticeable about her was her bluish hair. "Hey, it's someone else like you Quilava." she looks at the newcomer and says "Yeah, but who is it?" The new girl looks at them, smiles and greets them. "Oh hey there, I'm Blastoise! Who might you two be?" Kai looks at her and replies "I'm Kai Ishiwatari. And this is Quilava." At this, Blastoise looks pleasantly surprised and says "Is that so? Another one just like me." "Isn't that shell heavy on you?" Kai asks causing her to laugh. "Actually no, it feels just fine on me. Anyway, I think they're coming back so I'll see you later ok?" she walks off and thinks to herself, "What's this feeling? It's strange, but I feel connected to him somehow and Quilava as well. Wait... he did seem familiar. Could he have been HIS son?" "Ah, you must be young Kai Ishiwatari. Good to meet you!" says Professor Oak coming into the room. To this, Kai smiles and replies "It's an honor to be recognized by the famous Professor Oak, original creator of the Pokedex." Oak smiles at his praise and replies "You're well informed I see. Anyway, you wanted to see me?" "Oh yes, you see..." Kai then goes into details about what happened at the harbor and about his dad's research. "Hmm, I see. So he was able to finish it but I never thought it would actually happen." He then looks at Kai with a serious look. "Young man, keep this in mind. That young girl with you is definitely a unique one and as such she may be sought out by others with dark intentions. You need to keep her safe at any cost, do you understand?" Kai nods in understanding causing Oak to sigh in relief. "In any case, what did you plan to do?" Kai smiles and replies "I'm planning on touring the regions and seeing all that I can in addition to challenging the Pokemon Leagues." Oak then motions to another aide who then gives Kai a special item that looks like Pokedex but colored blue instead. "Your father wanted me to give this to you when you arrived; it's a special version of the Pokedex that can keep a close tab on your Pokegirls. In addition to its normal functions it can even hold your TMs that you can collect on your journey as well as your badges and symbols too." At this, Kai raises an eyebrow. "This is very useful, but when you said symbols... are you also asking me to take on the Frontier Brains I've heard about from the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions?" Oak then nods and says "Something tells me that you might learn a whole lot not just from gym battles, but from the leagues and Frontiers as well." Accepting it, Kai then turns to leave when Blastoise runs out. "Hold on, I'm coming with you." Oak doesn't even seem surprised at this and asks "So you've decided on this then?" She nods and says "Indeed and after all, I know quite a bit about the regions from what you used to talk with me about so I could help him out with that." Kai smiles at this and replies "I see. I'd be glad to have you with me Blastoise, if you'll have me." "I would like nothing more Kai." And with that, the three leave off for the first of many stops on their journey; Pewter City.
A/N: And so their journey begins. As for how he's going to collect the TMs, he will get the TMs from what the respective gym leaders had in all their appearances. Here they are, and keep in mind if he would receive a TM that he already owns he will simply not get it. An example of this is after Kai defeats Brock, he will receive Bide, Rock Tomb, and Rock Slide. Or even with Bugsy, he'll give Kai Fury Cutter and U-Turn for winning.
