Here's chapter six, today's chapter. sorry for all the editing, it's our first fic, so it's been a little crazy. Anyway, let's get on with the story.

"Human Talking"

"Pokemon Talking"

"Pokemon Telepathically Talking"

Training

It started almost exactly as my past training session had with Lucario, an Aura Sphere hurled towards my face, but I was ready this time around. I called for my aura and a small shield protected me, just barely.

I spent two hours dodging, deflecting, and sometimes attacking the much more advanced Lucario. I had finally mastered Aura Sphere, and my attack power increased dramatically, so much, I accidentally knocked Zorua out with a stray Aura Sphere. Whoops.

Currently, I am meditating with Alakazam. It telepathically is giving me instructions on mastering my psychic powers.

"Focus, let all other thoughts disappear other than the rock in your hand floating. Yes. Yes! There you go!"

I feel the weight of the rock leave my hand, but I don't dare open my eyes, for fear of losing my concentration.

"You're a natural! No wonder they gave you these powers, maybe, you were born with them!"

That broke my concentration. The sudden weight of the rock in my hands caught me by surprise and I feel back onto my back.

"Well, almost there. At least we discovered one thing."

"What?"

"You've been telepathically replying this entire session."

I open my eyes and decide to see if this is true. Bulbasaur is nearby tending to some flowers, the creature has a big soft spot for plants. It would be the perfect witness.

"Hey, Bulbasaur!"

It glances in my direction and sees that I have indeed called it's name. It runs over, well, more like quickly walks over, and plants itself in front of me.

'What's up?"

"Could you sit there for a second, it would be very helpful."

It gives me a quizzical look, but decides to roll with it.

"Fine...whatever."

"Thanks!"

I go back into my "Zen mode", if it can even be called that and listen for Alakazam.

"So, testing my theory out?"

"Yeah, want to make sure."

"Well, you can probably ask Bulbasaur now."

I subconsciously nod my head and refocus my attention on Bulbasaur.

"So, you gonna do something or just sit there with your eyes closed all day?"

"Did I say anything at all while you sat there?"

Bulbasaur gives me a weird look, like it thinks I'm crazy.

"No…" It hesitantly replies.

"YES!"

I jump up and start celebrating my new found skill. I can talk telepathically!

"Calm down, it's not a very hard skill to learn, actually, it seems you already I had it learned."

I slump to the ground in defeat.

"Thanks for ruining the moment."

I think I see it crack a small grin, but I'm not sure. If Alakazam did, it was history in the making.

"Well, okay, now I know you're not crazy. Will you come with me? We need to start your training with me."

I'm kind of surprised on the inside. Bulbasaur is going to train me? What did it know that Alakazam and Lucario, my used-to-be only mentors, didn't?

"Okay."

Bulbasaur leads me, well more like drags me, it grabbed me hand with it's Vine Whip and is pulling me along, over to it's small flower patch. The flowers are actually stunning, Bulbasaur must put a lot of time and effort into this patch. I had seen some other patches, but many were dead or dying, not used to being inside a simulated environment, or our containment for, presumably, the rest of our lives.

"I will be your mentor in healing and survival in the wilderness."

Well that explains it, Bulbasaur has something to teach me, and I might actually stick around for it, for today.

"We will begin with healing yourself with herbs and plants, incase you aura is low and heal pulse is out of the question."

Bulbasaur leads me through it's patch, showing certain berries, like Pecha, that heal poisoning, burns, and illnesses. It also shows me other plants I didn't even know existed. Ginger, a plant that I can use to deal with pain and Turmeric, the same goes for it. For over an hour, Bulbasaur lead me through it's spectacular garden, showing the best plants for eating and healing, and the most dangerous plants. Some you couldn't even breathe around without getting sick.

At the end of our tour, Bulbasaur gave me a short cooking lesson with Pecha berries.

"Here is a flint and steel, by striking them together a fire can be easily started. Once started…"

With Bulbasaur carefully instructing me, I made roasted Pecha berries with some herbs to boost nutritional value.

Bulbasaur's looked amazing, the Pecha berries a beautiful golden color and just the right amount of herbs on the side. My mouth started watering at the thought of one bite of that meal.

Mine on the other hand, was burnt on half of it and undercooked throughout the rest. Herbs haphazardly decorated the outer skin and fell off when I moved the fruit. Ugh. My mouth was definitely not watering at the sight of that.

"Well, it was good try, we will keep practicing this at the end of each lesson, gradually learning harder and more complex techniques to get the most out of the food."

I inwardly groaned, this was fascinating, but doing this boring routine every day?

No thank you.

I would rather double my training time with Lucario. Even though it's brutal. While trying to concoct a brilliant idea for getting out of Bulbasaur's training, a Pidgey causally flew overhead. I glanced up at it, but then immediately went back to scheming.

Maybe, I could say my aura is more important. No, Bulbasaur would retort with the essentials of it's training. Maybe, saying Bulbasaur could just always be the one cooking. No, then it would say I might get lost and not have it around to help. Ugh, there was no way of getting out of this one.

I let my mind wander, this was one of my few breaks today, it had been non-stop training ever since, and Zorua was nowhere to be seen. It would probably be training me next.

I sat there for awhile, just looking at the fake sky, wondering when our escape would start. I was aching for a real sky, and real sunlight, not the screen on the roof and lights that shut off at 10:00 pm.

While staring at the sky, I saw the Pidgey again, and then I finally realized, what was a Pidgey doing here? If Pidgey was here, that meant, it was a fail too! But why? It looked perfectly normal, no odd colorings, weird flight patterns, nothing different from a regular Pidgey. I decided to investigate.

Creeping along the ground, I enhanced my sight with aura, keeping the Pidgey within yelling distance. I needed to find out what it was doing here, and bring it back to our small camp.

Sticking to the shadows, I tried to camouflage and use extreme caution, I couldn't let it see me, I might startle it. I aimed for perfect stealth, but wasn't succeeding, it was a miracle it hadn't heard me yet. Finally, I saw it dip down towards my training ground for aura with Lucario.

Perfect.

I silently used my wings to jump higher and glide, as to avoid making sounds with my feet. I just had to reach the meadow, well, it was destroyed now, but, nevermind. I needed to focus.

I reached the outskirts of the "meadow" and spied on the Pidgey. What was different about it?

I was much different from a regular human, Bulbasaur and Zorua changed color, and Lucario and Alakazam were, um, I actually didn't know. It didn't matter, this Pidgey was coming with me, whether it liked it or not.

I sprang out of the bushes ready to grab it when I heard a familiar voice.

"That was good, but, we really need to work on hiding your wings more."

"Zorua?"

The Pidgey smirked and then flipped in the air. With a swirl of colors, it landed back on all fours, all four furry Zorua paws. The Pidgey had been an illusion! My training had already begun!

"What was that about?"

"From now on, I will be your mentor in stealth and camouflage. We will be doing exercises such as that one where you try to surprise me."

We continued with this exercise for awhile, Zorua disguising itself as a different pokemon I had to try and fool, with me trying to sneak up on it. In the end, I only caught Zorua in one form.

A lowly Psyduck.

"That was good, for your first session. In a real life situation, you would probably be dead by now."

"Well, thanks for the praise, Zorua." I remarked, sarcasm evident in every word.

It responded with a slight smirk and transformed again, into me.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

I huffed in annoyance. Zorua could really tick me off sometimes, but that made it the most fun to mess around with.

"This is for that Aura Sphere earlier!"

Zorua followed me around, mimicking me for a good ten minutes. I was ready to slap it into unconsciousness. A little after that, I tried to, but Zorua was much better at attacking in my body than I was, and I was defeated by my own hand.

With that, my training for the day ended with a scowling me and a Zorua in hysterics. For another year, each day went by like that, but one day my schedule changed slightly due to a sudden appearance by a nobody. Dragonite.
