A/N: if your liking this story so far feel free to review and give me any tips. And no flames for I will ignore them.
After leaving the hospital Laurence stops and asks Ashley where to go first. *we need to head to pallet town first to meet up with Prof. Oak so we can get you registered with the Pokemon league. Considering we are now in Pewter city, it shouldn't take too long. But first you need to change into your human form so we can go into the town, so we don't scare anyone. so for that, we need to do some training in that first. Fortunately, your able to learn my illusionary powers because of your extravagant study over illusions over 5 years ago winning a Nobel prize in optical science. Don't ask how I know. Anyway lets head over to the nearest forest clearing.* says Ashley leaving Laurence confused.
======Later======
*Well that was easy.* says Ashley, *so how ya doing over there?* "It's going great" Says Laurence sounding like Ashley. 'damn he even got the auditory variance down. what else can he do? Teleport? Nah.' Ashley says to herself, *Well I guess I have nothing left to teach you considering your illusions are perfect, so perfect in fact, I can't physically touch you to end the illusion. I literally can't find you in the illusion, it's like you become the person or thing you turn into.* She says to Laurence turning around to face him but noticing that he's disappeared before being engulfed in light. Next thing she knows she is next to him in the outskirts of pallet town. *Um...Laurence want the hell just happened?* asks Ashley confused. "Simple I teleported us here, granted my usual teleport can bring us anywhere but I don't know enough of this world to safely do so for I might end up teleporting us into a mountain." replies Laurence, *But how did you know where pallet town was?* Ashley asks, wanting to know how he did. "This here." Laurence says holding up a town map, "I bought this in pewter city so I could figure out the lay of the land but it seems this map only shows the nearest towns on the route we are on, which is currently route 1 between viridian city and pallet." He says folding up the map and placing in his hypercube. Turning around he asks Ashley where they can find Prof. Oak. In response she points toward the only large building in town. "Oh never would've guessed." He says nervously. As they walk into town a few people look at Laurence and quickly look down and continue with their work, looking nervous. "Why are the people so nervous?" asks Laurence, *Probably because of me, do you have my pokeball on you?* Ashley responds. "yeah, why?" *put me in it* "ok". He points the pokeball at Ashley and she is sucked into its depths and continues toward the lab. upon entering the lab he is greeted by the familiar smell of experimentation. "Ah...I missed this smell." As he walks around carefully observing the experiments going on as well as the pokemon he bumps into someone. "Oh I'm sorry, sir." he says, "Oh that's fine uh who are you anyway, you look kinda weird." Says the man. "Oh shit I was so enamored by the experiments I lost concentration on my illusion, this is going to be long explanation. Oh sorry my name's Laurence and as you can see I'm a hybrid of a dragon and a human, mostly dragon though. I can manipulate various energy forms and can heal any injury including death as long as it's within 1 hour. I can also teleport anywhere as long as I know where it is in relation to landmarks. Oh and this," He places his hands on his head and cracks his neck, he then cuts his arms using his talons after bleeding a little bit the blood moves to a katana handle that he is holding and slowly builds a blade. "Damn that hurts everytime." Laurence says. "Ok that's very interesting. Oh im sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Samuel Oak, but everybody refers to me either as Professor Oak or just Oak. Anyway I was wondering if could take some samples from you to study your abilities and it just might help with my pokemon research." Says Oak happily. "Sure what kind of samples do you need? If need blood I've got some samples of my own blood right here." Laurence says pulling out a box which various clinking sounds are heard. "Those will work fine. Also why do you take samples of your own blood." Questions Oak. "To see how it reacts to certain stimuli. Such as cancer and other biological hazards and as well as demonic possession so you may want to stay clear of vial 4H. Actually I'll just take that vial from the box." Laurence says. Opening the box he takes vial 4H, 7W, 8I. "sorry 7W and 8I are from my parents and these two blood samples is all that remains of them so I can't have them taken from me or broken. Which is why I have them in special vials of my own creation. These two vials cannot be stolen or shattered unless I willingly give them to someone. There are very few people that I trust with these two. I might let you study them at a later date when I can trust you more. Anyway I also have a friend with me." He says. He then pulls out Ashley's pokeball and releases her where she promptly stands up and almost knocks over my parents blood samples but because of their special nature they simply hit the ground and bounce back into my pockets. *oops sorry* she says to me. "oh I forgot to mention that I can understand pokemon because of my mental capabilities and trust me you do not want to know what the answer to life is because it would take forever to explain. And when I say forever I literally mean forever. Anyway I came here originally to be registered with the pokemon league here." He says, "But I have a question I was wondering if you have a charmander by any chance?" He asks. "oh yes I can get you registered and yes I do have a charmander as well as the other two starters but, you already have a pokemon surely you can start with your zoroark, are you sure you want a charmander?" Asks Oak. "Yes I am sure. I would love to have a charmander to be part of my team, and considering I can manipulate energy I can also be its sparring partner which would make it easier to train and get to know him or her." Laurence says to Oak. "Alright wait here I'll be right back with your pokedex and your charmander." Says Oak as he walks away. Laurence begins to work on some experiments that are laying around more specifically the energy based ones and improves and finishes some of them before Oak comes back. "Alright I have your Pokedex and your Charmander and trust me this Charmander was giving me issues going into its pokeball." Suddenly, the pokeball bursts open and a charmander comes out yelling various expletives and generally wreaking the place until Laurence grabs him and simply tells him to calm down using mind control he then grabs the charmanders pokeball and returns it into his pokeball. "Im sorry if its not the best one. I can go grab a different one if you like." Says Oak apologetically. "No its fine. Actually he's perfect!" Says Laurence gleefully, "I love working with anger filled people and creatures. I can get him sorted out, and when I do I will be sure to come back here and show you. Of course it might take while to get him to trust me at first, even though I could just use mind control but where's the fun in that. Now we need to clean this place up and reset your experiments, which some of them I have completed and taken down comprehensive notes which are right here." He says pulling out a notebook simply filled with various experiments and notes. "Here I'll give this to you for your research." He takes out another blank notebook and copies everything from one to the other within a few seconds and gives that one to Oak. "Now I'll be on way to pewter city so if you need me here's my number, maybe we can do some research together sometime." He says on his way out the door leaving a smiling Professor Oak behind. Once Laurence reaches the edge of pallet town he pulls out the map and figures out where to go with Ashley following close behind. "And so the adventure starts!" Says Laurence happily.
(A/N: Im taking ideas for future pokemon that will be on Laurence's team
Criteria:
Nickname is optional
Cannot be a legendary(yet)
Can't be too overpowered(something that I will determine depending on Laurence's current skill level and pokemon in general)
You can specify a nature and a personality(just to make it interesting)
Must specify gender
I might specify a certain type later on so make sure you list the type(s) that the pokemon are but for now it can be any type
Specify level(must be at least within 2-3 levels of laurence's highest level pokemon
Specify moveset(I will be breaking the standard limit of 4 moves because I feel like I don't get enough variety, but the range will between 4-8)
The moveset must contain moves that the pokemon can learn either based on the games or by what the pokemon looks like it can learn but cant via HMs or TMs or even levelling. (something that I will call trained moves)
They also must be moves that can be learnt at the pokemon's current level or lower, trained moves do not apply to this rule they are moves that can be trained on at any point
