I wasn't sure what i thought of this guy. He definitely seemed like he meant business. But he one-hundred percent gave me the creeps. Not to mention he has been undefeated for that long. I finished my transaction and walked outside with my shopping bags. I decided to leave Blaze in his ball to give myself time to think. "Getting back into actual training. It's been ages. I wonder if my Pokemon would even be up for it. And i'd have to catch more mons. I can't exactly take on the elite 4 and the champ with just the two i have." Not that i doubted them in the least. On the contrary, i had the utmost belief that if they wanted to take the challenge they would be more than prepared by the time we made it to the Plateau. First and foremost, I need to talk with my team. I dropped off my newly acquired groceries and headed back to the yard. I throw Blaze's Pokeball up and whistle. As Blaze emerges from the red beam of light, Leviathan emerges from the water and slides towards us. "Hey big guy enjoy the swim?" I kneel down to get at his favorite scratching spot. He roared in appreciation as i scratched the scales underneath his chin. I stood up and put my hands in my pockets. "Boys we have the opportunity to get a really awesome mansion up on top of . Not only that, but i think i want to finally get back to our journey. Finish up our team. What do you guys think?" Both of them looked at eachother and i can only assume talked about it in their language. Then both of them looked up and sent a jet of fire straight up and roared then looked at me. I don't know if Gyarados can smirk but i swear Leviathan was just then. "I'll take that as a yes!" I smiled and turned back towards the house, walking with a purpose. "Take a good look boys it's gonna be awhile before we're back." Leviathan dove back into the water and Blaze went and lounged on a large rock nearby. I get inside and began rummaging through my closet. Shoving a sleeping bag into a large duffel bag and sling it over my shoulder. I scrap together a few changes of clothes and all of the money i had saved up in my Tepiggy bank. Just about $30,000. "This should be a good start." I say to myself, shoving the cash into the side pouch of the bag. I march upstairs to my room and pull out the drawer next to my bed. Inside are 6 different pokeballs varying in type, ranging from moon ball to ultra ball. I have had each one for as long as i can remember. I had always planned on using them on my journey, but never got around to deciding what other mons i wanted to join the team. But it was time to start making decisions. I put the other 5 balls on my belt but started rolling the moon ball around in my hand, while its in its minituarized state. I knew one thing. I was not going to make it to the elite four if i couldn't even get my third badge…. And the way my team is right now the electric gym is almost impossible. I had made up my mind. I knew exactly what moon was going to be my first new one in over 5 years. And this moon ball would be his home. But i had to go get someone first. I walked over to the video phone and dialed it up….. It rang for so long i feared i had typed in the wrong number but finally someone picked up. "Hey mom, been awhile"

My room hasn't changed since i left it. Save for the Purugly sitting in the middle of my bed. "Mrooow" The cat pokemon exclaimed as she stretches out noticing me for the first time. She hopped out of the bed and scampered over to me and started running between my legs, rubbing up against me. I leaned down and started scratching the top of her head. "Yeah, you always did have a thing for my room. Something about the lack of sunlight in the mornings i assume." I say rolling my eyes as the feline tried to pounce on my hand playfully. "Alright you little shit i've got to go." I turn around walking down the hall towards the kitchen. All over the walls you can see pictures of me and my little brother Jeremy, and our parents. Back in the day Mom and Dad had both been pretty successful trainers. Ever since she had me, Mom had become a stay at home mother. She gave up her dreams to raise me and my brother. The Purugly who had been lounging in my room happened to be one of her pokemon. She was a normal type specialist. Her team when she was younger consisted of Purugly, Miltank, Lopunny, Pidgeot, Bewear, and a female Pyroar. She had been one of the best when she was my age, having travelled far and wide acquiring her vast array of mons not native to our home region. Then there was Dad. He wasn't a specialist in the traditional sense. He just had a knack for really physically imposing mons. His Conkeldurr being his partner since before he met my mother. He was given it as a Timburr from his father once he was old enough to help work for his fathers construction company. Dad was one of the people to help rebuild most of hoenn after the fiasco with Team Magma years ago. The rest of his team is also his construction crew. He owns his own company now. That's how he provided for us while we were kids and now it's his passion. The rest of his team aside from Conkeldurr include Mudsdale, Skarmory, Magmortar,Poliwrath, and Granbull. He rarely went anywhere without them. In fact as far as they told me back when he was a Gurdurr, my dad's pokemon was there when i was born. These are the people who taught me everything being a pokemon trainer. They did a pretty good job if i do say so myself. Earned myself two pretty powerful teammates and i've never gotten a complaint from either (not that they could tell me if they had one). "Hey Dad, what's on?" I asked as i sat down on the couch in front of the t.v. He laughed and said "Oh it's a new channel they started since that Marcus fellow made his challenge. It streams 24/7 footage of the champions battle quarters. Right now he's fighting some guy from the Alola region." On the screen you could see a a large grey pokemon that i didn't recognize, facing off against Marcus' vulture pokemon swooped down and began being covered in a bright blue energy. The announcer sounded hyped up. "And the champs pokemon dives down with a brave bird, barreling towards our challengers Golisopod." The opponent threw its arms up trying to protect itself and then when Mandibuzz collided with it, got sent flying into its trainer into the wall behind them. "There you have it folks. Our champion remains undefeated after not having a break in almost 4 hours of nonstop challenges." Dad shut off the t.v. and went to the kitchen. "Mom?" i looked at her from the other side of the room. "Yes honey?" "Where's Jeremy?" "Oh, i forgot we hadn't told you yet. He left about a week ago to start his own journey." "WHAT?!"
