Chapter 4: The Temple of Ancients 1
What have I gotten myself into this time? I'm being dragged into a task of capturing a dragon type pokemon that could prove already difficult with how hostile most dragon type pokemon can be already. On top of that insanity, I have to also manage to keep up with trainers who are hunting for gym leader positions by trying to overcome the limitations of their type alone. At the same time though, I'm excited to see the temple and what kind of stories it could be hiding and even possibly something related to Reshiram and why it went berserk.
"Everyone's here." Said Gabrielle as I see the people waiting.
I can see at least 15 trainers waiting for us and one of them a familiar face. Eh... Aurea? I mean it would make sense for her to be here since she wants to take over the steel gym but, I didn't expect Gabrielle to take her to the temple. She seems to be anxious about this training regime.
"Ah... Liam I didn't expect you to have been invited by Gabrielle. Er, how is your back?" she said fumbling her words.
"You mean the burn. It ain't that bad... Ah!" I said yelp a little from the brief pain.
Okay to tell the truth it still hurts a bit but, only when people slap where the burn marks are.
"Don't lie to stop making others worry!" Said Gabrielle.
Holy crap she's scary just on the thought of reading through me that quickly. She really can be a monster. She is right on one hand though about me worrying others. It shouldn't matter since I don't have friends at all at this point.
"Aye looks like we got ourselves an all type trainer? This will bring some balance to the training." said an adventurous young man.
That guy is Raihan; who is soon to inherit the Hammerlocke gym next year. He is not only Leon's primary rival but, he also is the favorite to win this year's master cup after a strong showing against the spikemuth's gym leader in the recent champions cup tournament. He also has an unhealthy habit of taking selfies after a crushing blow to his pride. Don't underestimate him though, he is far stronger than a traditional gym leader is and even considerably stronger than most elite four members out there.
"All type?" asked Aurea.
"A trainer who does not have a particular type preference. The champion of Sinnoh and the champion of Kalos are both all type trainers." Explained Raihan grinning.
"It's also rare to see a weather-based team in a very competitive scene like Galar. This will be a good opportunity." I said smirking.
I can't wait to see how skilled Raihan is with weather teams as I was a trainer who specialized in them when I was traveling Unova with Solar. That team had some really good memories that I cherish and at the same time made me regret some of the decisions I made in life sometimes. Seeing the other trainers around me are also those who are also dedicated to winning league cups to which, whoever wins them can earn the right to challenge the champion of that region for their title. They all focus their attention on Gabrielle who whistles for everyone's attention.
"Alright! I welcome you all today for those who seek out to become gym leaders or aim to win the masters cup or champion's cup to the training grounds known as the temple of the ancients! However, to get there you are gonna need transport! So for the first trial, you must reach the temple grounds by using your wits and pokemon!" Explained Gabrielle as she throws her ultra ball from her belt into the air.
Out from her ultra ball came a Dragonair. Now that you think about it, it does look majestic at first glance. Either way, this trial is a piece of cake thanks to Crescendo being a transport based pokemon and has rested up well too no less. I will have to return Sunlight into my poke ball though because it's hard for her to keep her balance on Crescendo's back. As I returned Sunlight into her poke ball I can see already the panic in Aurea's eyes.
"I will be waiting for all of you there at the temple!" Said Gabrielle as she hops on her Dragonair and flies at a fast pace.
"Ah! This shouldn't be a problem at all! Flygon let's go!" Said Raihan as he summons his Flygon from its ultra ball.
There's a mass body of water nearby so I can travel there through the sea.
"Crescendo rise and shine!" I yell as I throw my poke ball towards the sea.
Out of my poke ball came my Lapras who looks very happy to be in a body of water. The poke ball returned to my hand as Crescendo gets close enough for me to get on his back. As I hop on Crescendo's back I see Aurea lightly waving out to me.
"Uh... is it okay if I ride with you?" Asked Aurea embarrassed.
"You don't have a Corviknight?" I asked.
"I don't have one... I'm sorry." she said feeling defeated.
It seems like the discussion of Corviknight is quite sensitive to her.
"Hop on. It's the least I can do." I responded as she weakly smiles.
"Thank you. You don't seem as bad as the rumour's make you out to be sometimes." She said as she gets on Crescendo's back and sits down.
"I didn't want to remember the flames that took everything away from me... it only hurts, even more, to think about it." I said attach Crescendo's poke ball to my belt.
"..." she doesn't respond afterward.
I give Crescendo the directions to head north towards where Raihan is going. He happily sings as he begins following Raihan's Flygon. I can see the other trainers using various pokemon that knows the move fly and none of them seems to be going into the sea. You think traveling the sea at night would be boring since, you can't really see the water pokemon at night but, thanks to Crescendo and picking up a couple of flashlights for it to be easier to see. Crescendo has no problem with seeing in the night since, Lapras as a species evolved to a point of being able to see in the dark just fine to make traveling much easier for them.
"Your Lapras's singing is wonderful. It's refreshing to hear." Said Aurea.
"Crescendo sings whenever anyone travels on his back. It's his way of expressing his happiness usually." I respond.
"I'm sorry if it bothers you but, what really did happen with Reshiram's rampage? According to Sally the information given out to news networks was apparently false." Asked Aurea curiously.
"Why do you care? When you met me 4 months ago you kept labeling me a terrorist and only focused so much on training three pokemon that you haven't still gotten the picture yet on why you haven't gotten stronger." I said lashing out.
I went too far.
"...Your right. I only saw you as a strong trainer to practice against to reach my goals. It started to change when I saw how much you truly care about pokemon. You fed them different types of food to make sure they were healthy, you let them out of their poke ball's the majority of the time, you gave them a home when they were abandoned, and you cherished them like family. You made me realize how much I wanted to bond with my pokemon but, instead became possibly strained by only wanting to become strong. I want to leave the path my family set out for me and instead become a trainer who becomes stronger through understanding my pokemon to reach the potential we both carry as partners." Responded Aurea pouring her feelings out.
"...When I reached the destination to secure Reshiram, the village was scorched in blue flames. In that flames of horror and fear, I saw a trainer in all black with a blue mask covering their face looking at me within the flames. He claims to have revived the legendary dragon to purge the false truths people gave out and disappeared afterward. The dragon wouldn't stop killing people and I had no choice but, to attempt to defeat it. It overwhelmed by pokemon and prepared to destroy me. That was when I lost my precious Flareon. He got in the way of the dragon's power and was stabbed by the wings of Reshiram in the chest leaving him to die. Shortly after, a young trainer with long brown hair managed to capture the beast. The trainer asked where Team's Plasma's leader was hiding and without a fight, I gave her the location just to end it. Shortly after N's defeat, I was arrested and was forced to plead guilty by the police. They threw me in prison and released all my pokemon in the wild. I felt dead inside for such a long time since then." I explained holding back tears.
That day a trainer's heart turned cold and the view of his world became cold and lifeless. That trainer could trust no one and became afraid of everything. Colorless, dull, and lifeless eyes. Scars the trainer desperately tried to hide. He tried acting like nothing was wrong. He couldn't stop lying to himself that everything could get better. That trainer was me.
"I'm sure you will be able to clear your name one day. For now, you got to focus on winning the ultra cup to get into the master's cup!" Said Aurea slapping my back.
Ow! I noticed a poke ball on Aurea's belt wobbling as it opens up to summon out a white bird with triangle patterns. I can see Aurea face shocked at the factor of the pokemon hugging her happily.
"A Togetic? I thought you were exclusively a Steel-type trainer?" I asked grinning.
"Togetic was my starter pokemon when I was starting out. Dad felt embarrassed of me for using a fairy type pokemon as my partner instead of the family tradition of steel type pokemon. In the end, I failed to get into the champions cup by getting utterly humiliated by a rookie trainer who would go on to be champion. Since then, My dad boxed my pokemon in the PC and practically forced me to use only steel type pokemon. Aggron and Togetic are the only pokemon on me that are from my original team." She said looking defeated once more.
"Why don't you just retrieve the pokemon from your PC then?" I asked as Crescendo's ears perked up.
"My stored pokemon are kept in a ranch he operates. He prevents me from accessing them through my PC and only allows me to take steel pokemon out." She said.
Forcing your child to use only one type of pokemon without giving them the freedom to choose what they want... disgusting. Those types of trainers to force new trainers like that makes me angry... what am I thinking? I've got to stop thinking like my younger self. I hear Crescendo's voice screaming lightly to gain my attention.
"What's wrong Crescendo? Are you okay?" I ask as I look ahead to see coming from the ocean a giant Kingler emerging.
Holy crap that thing is huge. How did it Gingantamax without a trainer to do so?
"That thing is incredibly dangerous. We have to defeat it now!" I said as the Kingler looks at us.
If anyone or pokemon gets touched by Kinglers bubbles there as good as dead due to the material built within them. I can already see the trainers trying to dash flight immediately. The Kingler decided to unleash a powerful whirlpool to restrain and throw off the pokemon in the air.
"Togetic Magical Leaf!" Commanded Aurea as her Togetic summoned razor-sharp leaves infused with psychic power being created.
The leaves then were fired right into the Kingler dealing significant damage to the giant pokemon and weakening the power of the whirlpool. In retaliation, the Kingler decided to use the sheer raw power of the max Hailstorm which, froze the river and threw off all the pokemon flying except Raihan's flygon, off course and plummeting into the frozen river. I grab Moon's pokeball and throw it to summon her out who is pretty drowsy and levitating herself next to Crescendo.
"Moon! Use Future sight to look for options to protect the falling trainers. Crescendo, we'll strike the Kingler with Freeze Dry!" I command as Moon yawns and begins to focus.
Crescendo slams his fins onto the frozen lake as the ice started to trap the Kinglers legs as it attempts to break free as well as leaving a huge area of solid ice for a safe landing for trainers pokemon. This allowed the trainer's pokemon to regain balance for their pokemon.
"Get on your pokemon! The kid's got a plan!" Said Raihan as his Flygon flies around the Kingler.
I slowly start to see Moon's plan to get all the flying pokemon up back into the air with momentum to give him high airspeed.
"Flygon Heat wave!" Commanded Raihan as his Flygon flaps it's wings to produce massive heat while falling.
The Kingler starts to get annoyed as it attempts to claw at Raihan's flygon only to miss and returning the ocean back to its natural state. At last, Moon linked to me the last 2 minutes going into the future. I get only one shot to make this work.
"Hope that Gardevoir of yours has a plan to catch the others? You got 30 seconds to make it work." Said Raihan as his flygon regained balance.
"Moon! Push all of them back up with Psychic!" I said as Moon takes a deep breath.
With all the psychic power she could muster up, she attempts to reposition all the trainers flying pokemon to regain velocity to keep their balance and increasing their momentum speed to fly safely.
"Togetic Use magical leaf once more!" Aurea commanded as Togetic begins to channel the psychic leaves.
"Flygon, Giga Drain!" Commanded Raihan as Flygon opens its mouth.
"Crescendo, hit that Kingler with Dragon Pulse!" I commanded as Crescendo opens his mouth.
At once, all of our attacks strike the Kingler, weakening its balance. The Kingler with its immense strength, used it's claw hand to strike Raihan's Flygon throwing them both out of course.
"Raihan return Flygon!" I yell out as the Kingler takes notice of me.
"... Alright." He said returning his Flygon into it's pokeball.
Just before Raihan can land on the water, Moon pulls him towards Crescendo's back and places Raihan at the end of his back. Moon then falls right on my lap tired out.
"Ah, thanks man." Said Raihan laughing lightly.
I return Moon to her pokeball to rest up as the Kingler prepares to pinch Crescendo at full force.
"Crescendo! Here's our chance. Thunderbolt!" I commanded as Lapras begins to discharge electricity from its fins.
The lightning the surges within a small portion of the sea electrocuting the Kingler and pushing it down. Kingler while on it's back managed to create another whirlpool to trap Crescendo in an arena with it.
"Crap..." I said stunned.
"Liam was it... I have an option that can be done to put down that Kingler." Said Raihan as he puts his left hand out.
Gigantamaxing? Is my Lapras capable of even achieving it? It's so risky.
"Go for it. I don't know if Crescendo here is capable of Gigantamaxing?" I respond.
"We won't know until we try!" He said as his Dynamax band lights up.
Suddenly, Crescendo starts to have a purplish-pink aura surrounding him as he begins to get bigger and changing the shape of his body. At this point, Crescendo looks like a cruising ship and is happily roaring in excitement.
"Whoa! This is incredible!" Said Aurea at the transformation.
"Crescendo can Gigantamax... incredible." I said in awe of Crescendo's transformation.
"Alright let's finish off the Kingler so that the rest of the trip is a smooth landing! Crescendo, Max Lightening!" Commanded Raihan as Crescendo slams his fins into the water.
Electricity once again surrounds the Kingler as the strike of lightning zaps the Kingler finally returning it to its original size and fainting.
"Is that Kingler going to be alright since it fainted?" asked Aurea.
"Yeah, it should be fine. The folks who protect the temple will likely send their rescue pokemon in about 15 minutes to pick up the kingler. For now, let your Lapras reach the temple safely with no more interruptions." Said Raihan.
"Crescendo. Great job out there buddy! Keep heading straight and we will be there soon." I said as Crescendo sings happily.
So this is the power of Gigantamax eh? I always grew up just with plain old pokemon battles and not with these powerful crystals in Aloha or this recent power of Gigantamaxing. I've only dreamed as a child of being able to achieve the power that only a very strong bond could create but, even with my time in Plasma I still couldn't find that power like in the old legends. They say in the legends that trainers who could form a special bond with their trainer could achieve a form unlike any other that reaches the maximum potential of a pokemon. It felt like a distant dream since, no one really knows what that power refers to.
"This Lapras is a fine battler. barely took any damage from a powerhouse like Kingler." Said Raihan chuckling.
"Crescendo wasn't mine originally. I was gifted him by Sally after passing a test of bonds. He is a great pokemon and is very reliable to bring my teams morale up with it's cheerful nature." I said looking back at Crescendo.
5 hours of traveling later we finally arrived on the temple grounds which is located in the middle of the sea's that connect to Galar and Kalos. Now, that we arrived I have to figure out how to get Crescendo back to normal.
"Er... how do we return him back to his normal form?" I ask as the three of us look back at crescendo from the ground.
"Simple... return him to his pokeball and it will lose its form." Said Raihan.
"Alright then." I said returning Crescendo back to his pokeball.
After returning Crescendo to his pokeball, Immediately Sunlight came out of her pokeball and wrapped her right feeler around my left wrist lightly.
"Whoa! Your Sylveon is really attached to you." Said Raihan laughing.
It seems she recovered nicely from yesterday. It makes me worry less when I see her smile brightly. Either way, it looks like the traveling trial was a success thanks to Raihan using the power of gigantamax. I wonder what pokemon will be around the temple if Gabrielle states there to be rare pokemon. It would be a great change of pace from the wild area.
"Where are the others?" Asked Aurea.
"According to Gabrielle they had to make some emergency landing last night for their pokemon to recover. Told us three to just wait at the front until then." Explained Raihan.
So that would explain the lack of people around us. I guess Moon gave saw all of this from that future sight.
"Ah yes it would appear that some of the guests from Galar have arrived. Welcome to the temple of the ancients sacred grounds! As two of you have already succeeded in the ritual, the one in the middle has to complete it first before being allowed to go further." Said a woman in a Kimono.
I've seen them before. These Kimono girls are trainers who dedicate themselves to eeveelution based pokemon or at least pokemon who perform dances. There are rather skilled trainers and also incredibly smart when it comes to business management.
"Ritual?" I asked.
"This Ritual was formed supposedly by the Mythical pokemon who resides in this Temple to test if trainers were worthy of the presence of these pokemon. Due to the nature of humanity, these pokemon could not trust humanity especially the war that cost thousands of pokemons lives out of a selfish cause. This temple here has been known to only trainers who were chosen by them or were pure of heart shall be allowed to be here. This ritual must be performed with a Lorekeeper such as myself. Shall we begin?" Said the Kimono girl.
"Let's begin then... this will be a ritual I must succeed at all costs." I said with Sunlight cheerfully calling.
"Alright then, you see behind me 6 symbols representing the pact by different mythical pokemon engraved onto the land. In the middle of the symbols is the centerpiece in which you will stand on. The seven symbols will reflect what each of the mythical pokemon see in the category they specialize in. Should at least one of them view you as worthy of its trust, then the ritual will succeed and you will be allowed to train and enter the temple grounds as you please." Explained the kimono girl as she steps aside to let me see the seven symbols.
If I can recall she said they were based on mythical pokemon's symbols. The one in front of me right now is a V symbol that would likely represent "Victory" for Victini. The symbol on the left of Victini's is that of a gracidea flower which is a stable symbol of Shaymin. The symbol on the right of Victini's symbol was that of a forest suggesting to represent the forest guardian Celebi. The symbol on the upper left of Shaymin's symbol was that of stars which would be the main symbol for the wish pokemon Jirachi. The symbol on the upper right of Celebi's symbol was that of a sword suggesting that one of the Musketeer pokemon. The Symbol in the north and facing the temple was that of light and shadow which confuses me on the possibility of whom it could be. I leave sunlight in the hands of Aurea before I go into the ritual. I step onto the center circle that connects the seven symbols as the symbols light up.
"Concentrate and let them decide." Said the kimono girl.
The symbol of Victory brightens up with a searing flare as I feel encouraged to walk into the blaze. I can feel the blaze being soothing and nothing like the pain from a zoroark's flamethrower.
"Ah, a trainer who's confused about their identity or worth to society. A trainer who's personality is a front to others while confused and frustrated on the inside. Someone who doesn't dare to overcome the horror of the past. You are not the shape for the trust I wish upon." said a child-like voice.
The symbol soothing blaze disappeared as the symbol of the forest lights up with leaves surrounding the circle in a hurricane-like motion. I step into the symbol as the leaves dance around my body
"I see you now. Someone who has a hard time putting trust into others. You seem to have a heart when it comes to your pokemon but, can't love them as truthful as the past due to a mental scar you carry. You do seem to know when to do the right thing for others even at the risk of your reputation. However, it would seem to me that you don't value your life enough and wished death upon yourself. I would rather remain neutral to you as I can't decide entirely if I can trust you or not." Said a rather soothing female voice.
The symbol's dancing disappeared as the symbol of the stars lights up. I step onto the star symbol as the stars surround me.
"I can't trust you period. The type of trainer who doesn't wish to change and blame others for one's own mistakes and soul screams of rage and anger doesn't deserve the blessings of anyone here nor the pokemon you manage to carry." Said a rather angry voice.
I know I wasn't a good person but, damn those words sting right in the heart. The symbol of the star's light disappears as the symbol of the sword lights up.
"Would you like to continue? It seems that the spirits are clear with what kind of trainer you are." said the kimono girl.
Should I give up? No... for there sake I must keep going. I step onto the sword symbol as four phantoms like blades surround me.
"I'm going to have to decline my trust towards you. You have the talent for battle and are capable of understanding your pokemon's personalities and emotions well enough to form seemingly strong bonds. I do however struggle to see the trainer you want to be in the end which can put doubts into the people who you will meet in your life." Said a rather masculine voice.
The phantom blades disappeared as no light appeared.
"Hmph, I don't understand why Gabrielle invited you if she knew you were not gonna pass the ritual? I-" Stopped the Kimono girl as the symbol of the gracidea flower lights up brightly.
Huh? Well here goes nothing I guess. I step onto the gracidea symbol only to witness the world around me change into an endless field of Gracidea flowers. This might be my delusions but, the perspective changes threw me off heavily but, at the same time, I feel soothed completely in this endless field.
"Thr gracidea field... Just like the one in Unova." I said tearing up.
That field was where I would meet and eventually evolve my second Eevee into a Leafeon. She was a bubbly one and was always side by side with Solar a lot. Those two were glued together and the best of friends. It honestly is reminding me of the friendship Winter has with Crescendo seeing how whenever I camp those two are always side by side. It's nice to remember something beautiful.
"Keep going." said a soft voice.
Eh? I guess I keep walking...
"What does this field remind you of?" asked the soft voice.
"A rather peaceful time... Just like the days where I can laze around with my current pokemon under a decent summer sun." I responded as I continue to walk the field.
"How do you feel about yourself?" Asked the soft voice.
"I don't know to be honest. One side of me keeps thinking I improved and the other half is bitter about the past and thinks about being unforgivable." I responded to the flowers bloom.
"What makes you think that way?" Asked the soft voice.
"...I guess my involvement in team plasma affects how I truly feel." I responded.
"I don't see it that way. It has to do with a pokemon you cherish dying just to protect you. You felt that you couldn't forgive yourself for protecting someone you called family." Said the soft voice.
"..."
"Tell me something... would you give up the pokemon you have right now to be able to have that pokemon back or would you keep the pokemon you have now instead?" Asked the soft voice.
...So it comes down to how I really feel here. Honestly, this is a really difficult question to answer personally. Solar was honestly the closest pokemon to me but, I genuinely adore the pokemon who joined me on this journey. Ah... there's only one answer I can think of.
"Wow, that was quick Illuminate! You evolved into a Pikachu in just 6 hours eh? I'm glad you can trust me enough to make your dreams come true."
"Hey there Winter... you don't need to be shy around these two here they are really friendly. I promise you that you won't ever be abandoned again."
"Thanks for the help today Moon! It's great to have someone who can help me out in the camp!"
"Crescendo, I know it's hard to adapt to a new home but, I'll try my best to give you a good life just like the rest of my pokemon here"
"I swear that one day you will be able to walk like you always dreamed of even if it gets me hurt!"
"Everyone together? Look at the camera and smile!"
If Solar was too precious to me than the five who stuck by with me are just as irreplaceable as Solar was to me.
"As painful as this sounds to me but, I'd be happier if I kept the five I have on me right now than getting Solar back. I feel that's what he would've wanted." I said smiling.
Memories that I can still cherish forever whether it's in my first time as a trainer to the rehabilitation I go through now.
"I can truly see it now trainer. You are truly caring about your pokemon to a point of sacrificing your life to protect them. You focus on obtaining pokemon who were abandoned so that you could give them a home as loving as possible. You may struggle to form bonds with other humans but, I can see that you will slowly warm up to others. I will give you my trust as the previous trainer of gratitude." Said the soft voice.
"Previous trainer of gratitude?" I asked.
"Yes, you can call me Flora. I was the last trainer to have held the title and was given the title by the powerful mythical pokemon Arceus. It's been about 400 years since a trainer of gratitude has been bestowed the title and the bloodline for that trainer still exists today. You may not be the one the title will go onto but, I have a feeling my descendant will meet you. Until then continue your training into rehabilitation." Said Flora as my vision returns to the normal world.
"Wait!" I said out loud.
Huh... I did pass the ritual now correct? I wanted to honestly ask her about Reshiram more.
"So it would seem one of them took pity on you. As the ritual states, you are permitted to enter the temple of the ancients." Said the Kimono girl as she bit her lip.
Relief.
"Don't feel down mate. Saki felt the same with me when I got picked by the trainer of the cosmos himself and she called me a barbarian! Leon though... she favored him since he got picked by the trainer of the spirit." Said Raihan laughing.
Sunlight immediately rushed back to my side putting her right feeler around my left wrist lightly. There's only one thing that can be done here. I reach for all the pokeballs that contain my pokemon and hold them all except for crescendo.
"Alright! Come on out everyone!" I said as I throw the pokeballs in the air to summon my pokemon.
As three came out of their pokeballs they all yawn collectively as they look back at me happily. I reach into my bag to grab my poke puff case and open it up. All four of them are very excited to see the poke puff case as they wait for me to give them one. Moon and Sunlight enjoy the sweet one's the most. Illuminate enjoys Citrus more than any other flavor. Crescendo and Winter both enjoy mint as their preferred flavor.
"Gabrielle said she and the group are gonna be late getting to the temple until morning due to another ice storm. Until then you can set up your camp if you brought your tools here." Said Saki as she leads us to the camping grounds.
Fortunately, before I left to come here, I left my work tools with Sally and manage to make it easier to lift my once heavy camping bag thanks to a device made by Macro Cosmos. The device known as the PIC, allows you to store and bring equipment from personalized storage and transfer it to where ever the trainer is. While I don't have access to a PC, Sally was able to hook me up with a PIC before leaving so that I wouldn't have to rely too much on Moon helping me out.
"Alright time to set up camp!" I said as I take out the PIC.
From the PIC I manage to get everything I stored in it with only a few tiny problems. I should tell the engineering group about it when I complete the training here.
"Eh Macro Cosmos? I didn't know you were testing their products?" Said Aurea surprised.
"Well it was Sally's but, she tossed it to me to test out instead," I responded as I begin to set up my tent.
Since working, I've saved up a lot of money to be able to afford a tent capable of withstanding harsher weather and having much more room than the one Sally gave me originally. This tent I went for is basically the size of the average bedroom which also contains a decent-sized window for Crescendo to see me. While out I was able to get a specialized portable generator that can be recharged by Illuminate when he's feels overloaded with electricity. After that, I picked up a heating table since winter areas can be cold and it would keep me and my pokemon warm during those times. The last thing's I picked up were cooking utensils that were thankfully on sale for cheap. Alright, the tent was set up thanks to the help of Moon's psychic abilities.
"Thanks for the help Moon. I can handle the rest of the packing here." I said as I lift up my table.
"Neat set up..." Stopped Raihan.
Crap something's up.
"Uh, Liam... would you happen to have room for one more person? I forgot my tent at home..." She stopped embarrassed.
"I'd usually be fine sleeping in nature but, it's gonna be raining tonight so..." asked Raihan.
The truth is I can fit the three of them no problem at all even with my pokemon included. On one hand, though they should've been prepared for this kind of thing. What to do?
"How about I help you with dinner prep tonight then? I've got some pretty damn good curry ingredients that can make a curry that would blow your taste buds away!" Said Raihan smiling.
"It's not much but, I do have multiple types of flavored tea and plenty of instant coffee in my bag if that suffices? I also do have three different broths for soups." Said Aurea smiling.
"Okay... you can both stay. Just please don't provoke my Raichu when he's excited as he will electrocute you." I responded as they both smile.
Who knows this could be something I can enjoy or have a good time with people. I guess it wouldn't hurt for my pokemon to meet other trainers pokemon on the other hand. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong.
END
