Outsiders (ZnT/Pokémon Reverse Summon)
Season 1, Episode 1, Chapter 4

Louise sighed as she dutifully filled out the twelfth inventory form of the night. When Sycamore had asked her to help him with a project, she hadn't expected it to involve cataloging everything they had in the lab's stores, but she would persevere through this tedium. After all, Sycamore was giving her room and board. Boredom and lost sleep were a relatively small price to pay.

Louise flipped to the next form on the clipboard the Professor had given her, only to find out that the pen she had been using had run dry.

Louise gave a defeated sigh and set the clipboard down on a nearby shelf before walking back to Sycamore's office to grab another pen, making sure to discard the old one in a nearby trashcan.

Clunk!

Louise glanced at the trashcan, curious as to why something so small would make such a loud noise.

"Eevee," a familiar feminine voice hissed from the direction of the office, "try not to be so loud! Augustine may be a deep sleeper, but I don't know enough about his new assistant to be sure that that didn't wake her up."

A cat-like growl was heard in response.

"Why do you hate me, Eevee?"

Louise crept toward the doorway during the two's interaction, only to decide to rush the last few feet, attempting to surprise the intruders. This caused Louise to crash into the intruder who, judging by the high-pitched squeal, appeared to be a woman. The two tumbled over each other before coming to a halt as a tangled heap of limbs.

"Get off me!" The intruder shouted. Louise in response grunted as she continued trying to untangle herself, all the while being able to take in the intruder's features. To her surprise, the intruder was none other than Elizabeth Colette, the collector from earlier that day, albeit wearing much darker clothing topped with a black beanie.

Louise, being the one on top, managed to disentangle herself first and scramble into the office, grabbing the Pokéball the verdette had dropped in her tumble. She frowned as she realized what Elizabeth had planned to do, quickly got to her feet, and turned toward the verdette, who too stood up and was now brushing off her skirt.

"So, this is why you were here," Louise said, backing up a few steps to put space between her and Elizabeth, "you wanted Brennaraki so bad that you'd—"

Whatever else Louise was going to say was cut off by Eevee letting out a yelp of pain as her tail was stepped on and then turned around and bit Louise's leg in retaliation.

The pinkette tried to dislodge the critter, only to fall on her rear and drop the Pokéball, which opened upon hitting the ground and disgorged a rather confused Brennaraki.

"It figures that you'd only decide to help me after your own tail is literally put on the line," Elizabeth remarks dryly, "Now, come on, let's get the Fennekin back in her ball so we can get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Louise gave Brennaraki a wide-eyed look, pleading her to do something.

"Yip?" she asked.

"Don't just stand there, get this rodent off me!" Louise all but yelled.

Brennaraki shrugged, then rammed into Eevee, knocking her loose but tearing up the bite in Louise's leg in the process. Pain erupted from Louise's leg as she screamed in pain, forcing her to fall and clutch her leg to stem the bleeding. Brennaraki, in response, looked back in horror at Louise's leg, eyeing the bright red blood spilling onto the floor. To the Eevee's credit, she also appeared surprised and a little remorseful at the state of Louise's leg, but not too much. After all, Louise had stepped on her tail.

"Why, you," Elizabeth said incredulously, "Eevee!"

Eevee picked herself up off the ground and growled at Brennaraki, who responded in turn by blowing smoke out her ears and letting out a growl of her own.

"Burn the damn rat, Brennaraki!" Louise shouted.

"You dare call her a rat!?" Elizabeth called back indignantly.

Brennaraki launched a small fireball at Eevee, only for the latter to jump out of the way and onto Sycamore's desk. Not wanting to let the Eevee get off that easy, Brennaraki did it again, only faster this time, releasing a chain of fireballs in rapid succession. Eevee dodged every one, but even Louise could tell that the Eevee was not trained particularly well. The constant dodging was tiring out the 'rat' far too quickly than it should have otherwise. After one fireball brushed closely enough to singe some of Eevee's fur, Eevee hissed at the fox, and kicked up some dust to temporarily blind her. The distraction bought time for Eevee to leap at the fox in a flying tackle, with claws outstretched, catching Brennaraki off guard and knocking her to the ground. Picking herself back up, Brennaraki missed her opponent circling around for another tackle that could finish the fight. The Eevee neared Brennaraki and leapt at her again.

"Brennaraki, duck!" Louise commanded, seeing what Eevee was about to do. Brennaraki immediately followed the command and dropped down to her belly, sprawled across all four legs. Eevee's eyes widened in surprise as she flew over Brennaraki's prone form, completely missing her target.

Unprepared for the sudden lack of resistance, Eevee crashed to the ground gracelessly, leaving herself wide open for another salvo from Brennaraki, who eagerly took advantage of the opportunity. The fireball made a direct, critical hit, sending Eevee flying into one of Sycamore's bookshelves. As Eevee attempted to pick herself up, the laden shelf toppled over, burying Eevee under an avalanche of books. Only Eevee's head was visible, and, judging by the dazed look on her face, she was out for the count. Seeing that the immediate danger had passed, Brennaraki quickly rushed back to Louise and took a defensive posture in front of her, shielding her from any retaliation that Elizabeth may undertake.

"Argh! Eevee, return," Elizabeth said, pulling out a Pokéball from her pocket and returning Eevee, "If it weren't for you, I'd be home free by now!" Elizabeth, knowing her chance was blown, turned in an attempt to escape, only to crash into the awaiting form of a particularly displeased Garchomp and professor.

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that, Miss Elizabeth," Professor Sycamore said, leaning in the doorway.

Elizabeth gulped as she took in her current predicament, flanked on one end by an angry Garchomp and Pokémon Professor and an equally angry Fennekin on the other, realizing just how bad of a decision she had made in attempting to break in.

"H-how long have you been standing there?" she asked.

"Long enough to hear Louise call your partner a rat," Sycamore coldly replied. "Do you have any idea how much trouble you are in right now? I have half a mind to have Garchomp here restrain you as I call the police to have you arrested. Breaking and entering, attempted robbery, destruction of private property, assault with the intention of harm, may I go on!?" With each word, Sycamore grew more and more livid, while Elizabeth's face grew ever paler. "I would have every right to do so! But, I'm not. But, I will be speaking to your parents. You are incredibly lucky that Louise was not seriously hurt by your actions tonight, otherwise we would not be having this conversation. Now, Garchomp here will escort you off my property and you will return the key you used to get in. You are no longer welcome here. Get out."

"Y-yes, Professor, I'll get g-going now," Elizabeth stammered out, handing over the key to Sycamore's open hand, before pushing past Sycamore and running down the hall to the exit, Garchomp quickly stomping after her.

"Glad that's over with. What a mess…" Sycamore sighed, rubbing his hand through his hair as he watched Elizabeth's form retreating from the premises her metaphorical tail between her legs. Once she was out of sight, he turned back to look at Louise, who was both clutching her leg and staring at him with wide eyes. Brennaraki had herself decided to curl up next to Louise, licking her leg to alleviate the pain Louise was feeling.

He smiled, then spoke back up again. "Now, let's look at that leg."

"Ah!" Louise hissed in slight pain as Sycamore again applied disinfecting alcohol to the bite on Louise's leg. Brennaraki's ears perked up at the sounds of pain coming from Louise, looking up in concern from Louise's side. "Does it have to burn so much? And do you have to use that stuff?"

"Sorry, but yes to both. If I don't use this, your leg could get infected. I think even you know how bad that is," Sycamore lectured in a teasing tone before briefly looking up at Louise's paling face to see her nod rapidly. "Good. Now, let's see here…ooh, that Eevee got you good," Sycamore observed, looking at the bite. It wasn't that deep, but it would scar. Regardless, Sycamore began applying a tight bandage around Louise's leg, which fully stopped the bleeding. "There, all better. Now, since it's on your leg, it will probably hurt to put a lot of pressure and weight on it, so your movement will be impeded for a few hours. But, that should pass shortly," Sycamore told Louise as he got up and walked to the closest sink, washing his hands of the dried blood.

"Thank you, Professor. And I'm sorry," Louise thanked Sycamore before dejectedly looking down.

"For what?" At this, Sycamore turned to look at Louise in confusion. To his surprise, tears had become to accumulate on Louise's eyes, which he guessed came from the adrenaline finally running off and the events that just transpired finally clicking in Louise's mind.

"Brennaraki was almost stolen and it was all my fault!" Louise shouted before the tears started running down her face.

"Louise, Louise, it is fine. It was not your fault," Sycamore comforted Louise in a soft tone, kneeling down to look at her in the eye.

"But it was! I was there, and if I had paid more attention than Elizabeth wouldn't have gotten in and we wouldn't have gotten into a fight and destroyed your office and-" Louise rambled before Sycamore interrupted her and placed his hand on her shoulder in a placating way.

"Louise, you did everything perfectly. You could not have known that Elizabeth would have been that desperate to get Brennaraki to even attempt at breaking in. And besides, you took command of the situation, didn't you? You even commanded Brennaraki to victory, after only knowing about Pokémon for less than a week. That's impressive if you ask me," Sycamore smiled, which began to calm Louise down. She sniffled one last time, wiping away a tear from her face, before smiling back in turn.

"Thank you," Louise replied in thanks, at which point Sycamore got and began putting away the first aid kit he had brought out to clean Louise's leg. "I would not have expected such a small, cute creature to do this much damage."

"That's the thing, Louise. Pokémon, no matter how intelligent they are, are still highly dangerous if provoked. Even the small ones can pack quite a punch, judging by your leg over there."

"But I saw you get bit by other Pokémon before and you never got something like this?"

"I've been wondering about that myself. I have some theories, but if I had to guess, I think you being from a different world had something to do with it."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you familiar with the concept of Natural Selection?"

"Yes, I think I read about that here. It's…survival of the fittest, right?"

"Close, but not quite. That is a common misconception. Natural Selection is the process by which evolution, actual evolution, not the Rapid Metamorphosis most Pokémon go through during their lifespan, is the theory that the traits that most allow for an individual to survive get passed on through reproduction. On Earth, Pokémon have been around…practically forever, each capable of amazing feats of power. Our…my ancestors had to live in that time. So, the people who were able to better resist the attacks by Pokémon, whether it be fire, water, electricity, of any of the other types, lived to have children. Over time, we just became more resistant to that stuff. Your world, which by your accounts is still quite dangerous, did not have the same environmental factors we had. Therefore, your people did not develop the resistances we have, making you more vulnerable to Pokémon attacks." At this, Louise looked up at Sycamore in understanding before slowly lifting herself off the seat she was currently in, grunting in slight pain as she put weight on her leg.

"That…makes sense, I suppose. But what I don't get is, how did Elizabeth even get in?" Louise asked, hoping that Sycamore had an answer. Judging by how he froze up at that, she guessed she did.

"Oh, well, she stole the spare key. Yesterday," Sycamore sheepishly replied, rubbing the back of his neck. Louise's eyes narrowed at this in suspicion, as did Brennaraki.

"Where was the spare key?"

"Uh, well, funny story there. You see, it was…in my lab coat pocket…"

"And when did you discover that it was missing?" Louise's voice was beginning to rise in pitch at this point, as she suspected the incoming answer.

"…just after she left the lab."

"So you're telling me that not only did you know that Elizabeth would try something tonight, probably to steal Brennaraki, and you didn't even warn me!?" Louise shrieked. Brennaraki barked at the Professor as well, clearly angry.

"I didn't know for certain…"

"I got holes in my leg!"

"Okay, I know you're upset, but…you passed the test!" Sycamore revealed, attempting to calm down the increasingly red-faced Louise and smoking Brennaraki.

"…What test?" Louise asked, beginning to calm down. Seeing a chance at a respite, Sycamore continued on.

"You and Brennaraki were never in any danger. Garchomp and I were standing by before Elizabeth ever got inside the building. She would never have gotten out with that Pokéball," Sycamore calmly told the pinkette and fox.

"Then why didn't you stop her, when you easily could have?" Louise demanded, confusion written on her face.

"I wanted to see how you and Brennaraki would work with each other," Sycamore revealed to Louise and Brennaraki's astonishment. Seeing this, Sycamore continued. "In the few months I've had Brennaraki, she never got along with anyone other than myself. She didn't approve of any potential trainer, especially as she could tell that they only wanted her as a trophy, like Ms. Colette. When you arrived, I wanted to see if you would be different. And you were. Louise, you and Brennaraki got closer in a matter of minutes, which is more than I can say about anyone else. I wanted to see if Brennaraki would listen to you, and it appears that I was right, although your commands could use a bit more work."

"Wha-what are you saying?" Louise asked, voice trembling, with Brennaraki's eyes beginning to widen in realization.

"I'm saying that, if both of you want, I can have Brennaraki be signed over to you as your Starter," Sycamore finished, his arms outstretched and thrown slightly to the side. Louise's breath caught itself at this as she looked at Sycamore in astonishment before slowly gazing down at Brennaraki's expectant form, her tail wagging in jubilation.

"Do...Brennaraki, do you…?" Louise never got to finish her question, as Brennaraki yipped and leapt up into Louise's arms. The answer was certain. At this, Louise began to cry again, only this time with tears of joy as she hugged the fire fox tightly. "Yes! Thank you, thank you!"

"It's my pleasure, Louise. Now come on, let's get to bed. We'll set up your Trainer ID in the morning."

"Now, a Trainer ID serves a wide array of purposes for a Pokémon Trainer. It serves as an identification card, noting your name, age, and other necessary information, and it also serves as a license to even be a Pokémon Trainer. For me to have Brennaraki registered to you, you must set it up. Don't worry, the process is simple, and the software walks you through it. A 10-year-old could even do it," Sycamore told Louise as he stood beside her. Louise herself was sitting in front some a strange box with a screen. Apparently, it one of these 'computers' Earth was so dependent on. She hadn't used one of these before now, and as Sycamore turned it on, she gasped in amazement as the screen lit up. Sycamore briefly took control of the controller, apparently called a 'mouse', and moved the arrow on the screen to a Pokéball icon and clicked on it, causing a window to open. An image of an old man with white combed hair soon appeared in front of her, which to Louise's amazement began to move and speak!

"Hello, and welcome to the world of Pokémon. My name is Professor Oak…" The man on screen started, at which point Louise turned to look at Sycamore.

"Who's that?" Louise asked in slight confusion.

"That is Professor Samuel Oak," Sycamore replied.

"Oh, him! The man who invented stats!"

"He's also the single most respected Pokémon researcher in the world. A few years back, he made this program to help walk people through making their Trainer IDs after the Pokémon League asked him to. Just do what he tells you to and you'll be done in about five minutes. I already have all the information you'll need right here," Sycamore told Louise, patting on a small stack of paper located on the desk before walking out of the room. "Holler if you need anything!"

As Sycamore closed the door behind him, Louise turned back to the screen. Professor Oak at this point had returned a feminine looking green and white Pokémon that he called a Gardevoir and was now starting to ask her questions.

"Now tell me, what is your name?"

"Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Vallière," Louise slowly stated to herself as she typed in her name using the letters on the keyboard, only to growl in frustration as her name was too large to fully fit, not to mention not properly capitalized. After finding the backspace button and figuring out how to capitalize and accent the right characters, she simply shortened it to 'Louise Vallière' and pressed the next button to move on.

"Are you a boy, or a girl?" Louise's eye twitched at this as she realized this was going to be fun.

After 10 minutes of tediously inputting data, a process that was made much more difficult due to being spoken to like she was a 10-year-old, Louise had finally finished uploading the right information and submitted the Trainer ID. Now, all she would have to do is wait a day or two for it to arrive by mail, and Brennaraki would be hers. Louise sighed in relief and leaned back in her chair before she decided to use the computer to computer to research something she was curious about. Sycamore had told her about the 'internet' and how it could be used to find information about whatever she wanted. After seeing the Gardevoir in the video, she was curious about it and decided to open the internet and type in the name.

"Let's see…Gardevoir, powerful psychic…wow this is cool! Ooh, they even have images!"

Sycamore, after cleaning up the dried blood and burn marks as best he could, had begun to do the paperwork signing over Brennaraki to Louise when he heard a loud explosion come from the computer lab, causing him to jump out of his chair in surprise along with Brennaraki. Together, the two quickly threw open the door and raced down the hall, with Garchomp not far behind. When they reached the computer lab, they threw open the door to find a disheveled looking Louise holding her wand and standing over the smoking corpse of the computer she was using.

"What happened!?" Sycamore shouted in worry. At this, Louise looked up at him with crazed eyes before she began to speak.

"Your people…are SICK! HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE DEGRADE CREATURES LIKE THAT!"

"What are you talking about?! What did you see?!"

"I…looked up Gardevoir and clicked on images…" Louise quietly revealed and shuddered, to which Sycamore winced in sympathy, alongside Garchomp.

"Ohhh... Yeah, don't do that."

"Why…?"

"I don't know. People are weird, I guess."

"… Sorry for breaking your computer," Louise sheepishly apologize, to which Sycamore shrugged.

"Don't worry, its fine. Besides, I don't have to pay for a new one," Sycamore revealed.

"What do you mean? It's totaled," Louise asked in confusion, echoing the look Brennaraki shared.

"Well you see, after Ms. Elizabeth left last night, I had a wonderful conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Colette. They were deeply sorry for their daughter's actions and for what happened to your leg. In recompense, they made a generous 'donation' of 10,000,000 Pokédollars to the lab, with which we can use however we please," Sycamore slyly revealed, information which caused Louise to wickedly smile.

"Did they now? That was nice of them," Louise laughed.

"And thoughtful. Now, come along, there's something I need to show you real quick before we do anything else."

"What is that?" Louise asked as she closely examined a large clear crystal with a yellow and black spiral inside.

"That is a Mega Stone. Powerful stones capable of giving certain Pokémon vast amounts of power. I believe this to be specifically a Beedrillite, recently uncovered and shipped from the Hoenn region. This was given to me by Professor Birch, who knew I studied Mega Evolution, and figured it would aid me in my research," Sycamore revealed, looking down at the aforementioned Beedrillite.

"Wow… Why did you want me to look at this? I mean, it's pretty and all, but I don't have a Beedrill. Nor do I plan on getting one," Louise asked in confusion, looking up at Sycamore and wondering what the answer is.

"Well, now that you are an official Pokémon Trainer, with a Starter to back up that claim, I was hoping you would make a delivery for me."

"A…delivery? Wait, you want me to deliver the Beedrillite to someone, don't you?"

"Yes, exactly."

"Why can't you? I mean, I've only had Brennaraki for less than a day. Wouldn't you be much more suited for this than me?"

"My research here keeps me from doing the delivery myself, and I don't trust anyone else to deliver something as important as this," Sycamore told Louise in a matter-of-fact way, causing her to blush from the praise.

"I…I'm honored, Professor. Don't you worry, I'll get this delivered in no time at all!" Louise said excitedly, throwing her arm up into the air in exclamation, which Brennaraki, currently perched on her shoulder, mimed. The two turned to move, only to stop and sheepishly turned back to face Sycamore.

"Need to know where to take it?"

"…yes please."

"Heh, I thought so. I need you to deliver this to a woman named Viola Pansy, over in Santalune City, on the other end of Parterre Way- err, Route 4. It's only a few days' journey by foot, so it shouldn't take you that long to get over there. Don't worry, we'll use Elizabeth's 'donation' to get whatever supplies you need."

"Wait, you mean…?"

"Pokéballs, medicine, food, tents, anything that you might need. Come on, let's get to the stores before we hit the rush."

"You know, I am so happy we used Elizabeth's money for this…" Sycamore groaned as he looked at the receipt after they finally concluded their shopping. He had expected Louise to go for the more affordable selections like most trainers starting out. Regular Pokéballs, Potions, and a wide selection of individual cures for various ailments. That is not what she did.

"I told you, as a noble I demand the best. The same goes for my Pokémon. Isn't that right, Brennaraki?" Louise said with her head held high.

"Yip!" Brennaraki barked in agreement, eyes closed in content.

"Of course, how could I forget that…?" Sycamore sighed. Apparently to Louise, 'the best' automatically defaulted to 'most expensive', and that applied to everything they got. Most expensive tent in the store? She bought it. Most expensive travel shoes? Got that. Regular Pokéballs? Why get that when Luxury Balls are so much better. The rest of Louise's purchases all followed that pattern, as she treated the expensive items as the default. She also bought a large amount of Full Restores, reasoning that they were the best medicine to get, and a lot of Ethers. She also decided to go ahead and buy every single TM that the store offered. She was lucky this was Elizabeth's money, otherwise Sycamore would have stopped her. All in all, Louise ended up reducing the 10,000,000 down to 3,000,000 just by herself, leaving just enough to buy a high-end replacement computer. Sycamore's soul would have cried. Louise's on the other hand was ecstatic.

"Quit worrying! Besides, the store seemed to like us!"

"Can't imagine why… Louise, in the future, you need to not immediately go to the most expensive stuff. More expensive does not necessarily mean better. That line of thinking will cause you to go broke. You're lucky I let you splurge, next time you won't be," Sycamore warned Louise, body straining from carrying everything.

"Humph," Louise dismissed, still confident in her choices. Soon enough, the duo finally made their way back to Sycamore's lab. Once they entered, they quickly dropped off the supplies into the living room and began organizing everything. Ultimately, even Sycamore had to admit that Louise had a good eye for quality, as the supplies she bought were quite good. The backpack was great, with a wide array of pockets to allow for efficient storage of everything. As Louise began organizing her backpack, Sycamore left the room to grab one last thing from his office.

"Louise, I have one last thing for you. Come here," Sycamore shouted out from his office, causing Louise to stop what she was doing and make her way over. Inside, Sycamore was holding a clear red and blue slab that appeared to be displaying information.

"What is that?" Louise asked in confusion.

"This is called a Pokédex. It is an all-encompassing encyclopedia on everything about a Pokémon. It can display their currently known moves, what moves they can learn, and their stats, along with basic information about a species. These are only given out by a region's professor, and now I am giving one to you," Sycamore revealed, carefully handing the device over to Louise who grabbed it with reverence.

"Wow, I…I don't know what to say. Thank you, Professor," Louise gasped out as she held the Pokédex in her hands.

"You don't have to say anything, Louise. This is a gift. Where you are going, I'm pretty sure you'll need it. Come on, let's finish packing up your bag." At this, the two of them got and returned to their previous task, all the while making small talk and knowing that the end was coming near.

The next morning, the two of them walked to the Lumiose gatehouse to Route 4, with Louise wearing her travel gear. On her back was a blue and red hiking backpack, which held her sleeping bag, tent, and various other supplies in the appropriately marked pockets. Gone were her academy heels; in their place were a pair of brown hiking boots. A thin, red-silk hairband was wrapped around from the top of Louise's head to its base. The rest of her academy uniform was in place, although she now wore black leggings that went all the way down, along with a pair of black, fingerless trainer gloves.

"Well, this is it. Don't worry, you'll be fine. The Pokédex also functions as a phone, so if you need to you can call me. And besides, you have Brennaraki! You two will keep each other safe. I know it," Sycamore gently comforted Louise as she stood at the threshold to the well-kept road. Louise took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. In truth, she was scared. Ever since she had arrived at this world, Professor Sycamore had always been there for her, been at her side. And now, she was leaving him to go off into the unknown, all alone. Hearing a small yip coming below her, Louise looked down and saw Brennaraki smiling up at her in excitement, causing Louise to smile as well. She wasn't alone, not anymore. As she began walking down the route, she stopped as she realized she had one last thing she had to do. She quickly turned around and ran back to Sycamore and give him a hug, briefly surprising him before he smiled and returned the embrace.

"Thank you. For everything," Louise said with gratitude filling every word. Brennaraki held back, not wanting to ruin the moment, as Sycamore smiled and let go.

"No thanks is needed, Louise. Now go, that mega stone isn't going to deliver itself," Sycamore laughed. At this, Louise smiled and ran back to Brennaraki. As the two began walking towards their next destination, a feeling formed up from inside Louise. She did not know what this journey would entail or whether it would end with just the delivery or go beyond it. But she did know this: these were the first real steps to proving her worth - to Arceus, to her classmates, and to herself. And she couldn't be happier.

Hello, everyone! Here is the latest chapter of Outsiders! Thank you all for the reviews, follows, and favorites. It means a lot to us. Now to answer some reviewer questions.

ian25rebel: This story is definitely on the lighter side, but there are some darker elements in there after all. Hence why we have a T rating. Also, Brennaraki does not have Battle Bond. Her ability is Blaze. What I meant by her being shiny being similar to Louise's Void was how it affected them previously. Brennaraki was highly sought after by collectors when that wasn't what she wanted and Louise was ostracized by being unable to properly cast magic.

Celestia's Paladin and PokemonFan93: Kalos actually was deliberately chosen because of where Louise originally came from. Halkegenia is fantasy Europe, and since Kalos is the closest equivalent to Pokémon's Europe we have, we all thought it made the most sense.

Now then, Louise is now on her journey, and as with many Pokémon journeys, it starts with a delivery. Will things turn out well for her? Find out next time!
