About a day has passed since Bruce arrived in the wild area. Since then, he's been trying to add new Pokemon to his team, but it's been hard to find pokémon that fit him in a personality kind of way. He was particularly interested in the wander of Pokemon they were found throughout the wild area, but none of his Pokemon were at a level that they could take them on in a fair fight. Now Bruce knew he could win in an unfair fight, but he needed prep time for such creatures. And since he didn't know a lot about pokémon to begin with, other than what Chris put into his brain, prep time was going to be a difficult thing to establish.
Currently, Bruce was training his pokémon Zubat, Vanillite, and Klink by having them fight wild Pokemon that he found around the wild area. Currently, they were having a battle against the Pokemon known as bunnelby.
"Use poison fang!"ordered Bruce, causing the bat Pokemon to fly towards the rabbit like pokémon and attack him with poison fang.
Bunnelby clearly saw that it was outmatched, so it quickly ran away by using dig.
"Phew... We've been going at this for hours, and even though I haven't done anything myself, I feel absolutely exhausted. I can only imagine how exhausted you guys must be feeling."Bruce said to his three Pokemon, who nodded their heads in agreement upon hearing their trainer's words.
"Vanillite, Klink, Zubat. How about we take a break."expressed Bruce, something his Pokemon could easily agree with.
Once the former Dark Knight said that, he returned the three of them to their respective pokeballs. He quickly put them back in his pocket and began making preparations to head to a more beautiful area to have some lunch, that is when he spotted something on the ground. He quickly picked it up and saw that it was a ticket for something called the Isle of Armor.
"What the heck is this?"Bruce said out loud, looking the ticket over.
He then read the description in the back and saw that it was some kind of ticket to an island just off the coast of Galar. On the ticket, it said that the Isle of Armor was chock full of rare Pokemon that was not found anywhere else near Galar. Now, this certainly got Bruce Wayne's interest, since rare Pokemon means that he could use Pokemon that other trainers like Hop didn't know about. And that could certainly give him an advantage when it comes to pokémon battles for the gym challenge
"Well, it would be a shame to put this ticket to waste."Bruce said to himself before he began making his way back to the train station to see if he could use this ticket.
About half an hour later, Bruce arrived at the train station and quickly went inside. He quickly went to the reception area and showed them the ticket.
"My goodness. It's not every day that someone has a ticket to the Isle of Armor."said the ticket, lady.
"I'd like to go to the Isle of Armor if it is possible."said Bruce, wondering if you could use the ticket.
"Well, these are given to individuals for a price, and I don't know how you got it. But considering it doesn't have the assigned name to it, I see no problem allowing you to take a flying taxi to the Isle of Armor. I hope you enjoy your trip."Set the reception lady, who quickly stamped Bruce's ticket and handed it back to him.
'The Pokemon world is certainly lax when it comes to the laws.' Bruce thought to himself, wondering if the Pokemon world was ever going to be okay if there was some kind of chlorinated attack.
But he figured the legendary Pokemon would have something to say about that since they are hard more powerful than the average Pokemon and all that.
Either way, he was allowed to go to the Isle of Armor, and that was all that mattered to him. So he quickly made his way to the part of the train station, had had a flying taxi, and showed his ticket to the taxi driver.
"Huh, it's not every day that someone gets to go to the Isle of Armor. I hope you enjoy your trip."the taxi driver said before he motions for Bruce to get in.
Bruce quickly got in the flying taxi, and a moment later, the Pokemon known as Corviknight quickly began flying him into the air. A couple of moments later, they were in the sky, and Bruce was amazed by what he saw as this is the first time he got a good view of all of Galar. He was amazed by veneer perfect Harmony of man and nature. Earth could definitely learn some things from the Pokemon world, at least when it comes to going green.
But he was no longer on Earth since he was sure that he was buried already, or at least his old body was. Either way, he needed to continue moving forward, and the next step was going to the Isle of Armor to collect new Pokemon for his team.
-=O=-
About 2 hours later, the flying taxi finally arrived on a large island that was just off the coast of Galar. Bruce managed to keep himself entertained by scanning the area since he wasn't one to get bored easily like a child. He could easily spend all-nighters looking at the same building at the same target continuously thanks to his training. He was just glad his body was still able to remember some of his training and that Chris didn't remove all of it.
Now he got a good look at the Isle of Armor, and he was impressed by what he saw. It was an island with different environments from a forest all the way to a desert. He even saw several well insulated caves, making them wonder if there was more bat Pokemon living there. Either way, he was definitely going to add more Pokemon to his team.
For now, the flying taxi quickly went to a building that was the same structure as the one in Galar. Bruce quickly figured out that this was the drop-off station. A couple of minutes later, the flying taxi touchdown and he was allowed to exit the vehicle.
"I'm couldn't get a coffee. Now the next flying taxi won't be here for a couple of days, so I hope you enjoy your time in the Isle of Armor."said the flying taxi pilot before he walked off to get a coffee.
"That is no issue for me."said Bruce, who had everything he needed to survive inside of his large backpack, which was now acting like his old utility belt back when he was Batman.
A few minutes later Bruce decided to make his way out of the drop off station so he could explore the Isle of Armor, and that's when he ran into someone who look like they were extremely nervous.
"I came here to join a dojo that I heard was all exclusive. But there's some scary person standing outside. Now I'm not so sure I want to go out."said the person to himself before he ran off to who knows where.
That is when someone answered the drop-off station.
It was a female who looked like she was in her teens.
She is a slender young woman with fair skin, blue eyes, and pink hair. She also wears pink lipstick and eye shadow and has a mole under her mouth. She wears a wild, unique outfit with many accessories, including a white fur coat, a white and blue moth-like bow with pink circles on it, and a dark purple and green uniform. Her uniform consists of a multicolored collared shirt and dark blue shorts with the number 881 on them. Both her shirt and shorts also have quite a few designs and unique prints on them. For accessories, the girl wears a white bracelet on her left wrist, a Dynamax band on her right wrist, a thumbless purple and black glove on her right hand, and a white ring on her left hand. On her feet, she wears pink and white shoes with blue heels and knee-length stockings that have the same colors as her clothes.
"You must be the new student I'm supposed to pick up for the dojo today. Wow, I'm impressed you arrived on time. So punctual."said the girl to Bruce, confusing him.
"Dojo... What dojo?"Bruce inquired, not sure what this girl was talking about.
That caused her to turn around, and she began mumbling to herself about him trying to mess with her or something.
"I guess I should introduce myself first. I'm Klara, and I'm a student at the Master Dojo. Master Mustard sent me the collect the new student, which is you."said the girl who now identified herself as Klara.
"I think you're talking to the wrong person."Sad, Bruce, who was sure that the guy who ran away earlier was the real student who was supposed to join the dojo.
Klara simply smiled at him before turning around.
"What is this guy's deal! How can he be so calm around a cute girl like me! I mean, he's a little bit handsome, but that's about it. He's way too cocky! Maybe I should teach him a lesson!"said Klara under her breath, but Bruce could still hear her.
He quickly figured out that this girl had a two-faced personality, and it was clear that the way she was talking on her breath was the real personality. Klara, on the other hand, turned around and looked at Bruce with a face that said she had an idea.
"Umm... Why don't we have a Pokemon battle outside? I really want to test to see if you're worthy of joining the dojo."said Klara with confidence, and Bruce could tell she was looking down on him.
"Fine by me."said Bruce, figuring a Pokemon battle could raise his Pokemon's levels.
Klara smiled before walking out of the drop-off station, but not before motioning for Bruce to follow her.
"Prepare to get a lot of poison."said Klara with a veiny attitude before exiting the building.
"She reminds me too much of a certain girl back home."said Bruce, who had a feeling that this girl was going to be a handful.
But he had already arrived at the Isle of Armor, and he had no plans of turning back just because I'm crazy girl challenged him to a Pokemon battle. So, with that in mind, he quickly exited to drop off station where he saw Klara waiting next to a tree a few seconds later.
"Let's have a two vs. two."said Klara, who pulled out two poké balls when she said that.
"No problem with me."Bruce said, pulling out his pokeball and great ball when he said that.
"Venipede, take the stage."said Klara before calling out a centipede like pokémon to battle.
The Pokemon in question is an insectoid Pokémon with a pronounced hump on the upper portion of its body. Its thorax and head are mainly magenta with black markings that consist of rings on its shoulders, a band around each antenna, and an upside-down 'Y' on its neck. A prominent ridge leading down to a pointed tip splits the top half of its head, and its lower jaw is black. It has round, heavy-lidded eyes that bulge away from the head slightly. The Pokemon's dark green abdomen is segmented, and it has four pairs of stubby black legs. Two short feelers banded with black extend from its hindquarters, which it uses in addition to its antennae to explore its surroundings and detect prey by sensing air vibrations.
Bruce pulled out his Pokedex to identify the Pokemon in front of him.
(Pokedex: Venipede, the centipede Pokemon. A bug and poison type. Its fangs are highly venomous. If this Pokémon finds prey, it thinks it can eat, and it leaps for them without any thought of how things might turn out)
"A bug type, huh... In that case. Zubat, I choose you!"Bruce said, calling out the bat pokémon for battle.
Klara went starry-eyed as soon as she saw the poison / flying type Pokemon.
"Wow. So you know the beauty of poison type pokémon as well. And I see your Zubat is a shiny Pokemon as well. I must say I'm impressed. Oh, by the way, I never got your name."said Klara, realizing she never got Bruce's name.
"My name is Bruce. Now, let's have this battle."said Bruce, wanting to get down to business.
"Venipede, use bug bite."Order Klara, causing the sensitive pokémon to jump towards the back pokémon with the intention of biting him.
"Use wing attack to counter."ordered Bruce, causing the bat Pokemon to surround his wings with flying type energy before he struck Venipede with wing attack, causing super effective damage to the centipede Pokemon
"Ohh! Let's see how you handle our poison sting attack!"shouted Klara, causing the centipede pokémon to shoot out dozens of needles of poison.
Zubat was hit with the attack, but he didn't appear to take much damage.
"You do know poison type Pokemon are not that affected by poison type moves... Right?"Bruce inquired, causing the girl to look add him with a look of realization.
"On my Arceus, I forgot!"said Klara, who looked like she was really close to pulling her pink hair.
"Now let's see how you handle wing attack again!"Bruce said, causing the bat Pokemon to surround his wings with flying type energy before he flew down and struck Venipede again, causing super effective damage again!
The centipede Pokemon was quickly thrown to its trainer side of the field, where it was revealed to have been knocked out.
"Venipede, no!"said Klara, who quickly picked up your pokémon to see if it was all right.
"... You did a good job, now take a long rest."said Klara before recalling the centipede pokémon back to its pokeball.
"Oh... Let's see how you handle my Slowpoke!"shouted Klara, who quickly threw another Pokemon release the Pokemon that was inside.
The Pokemon in question is a pink Pokemon that resembles a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. It has vacant eyes that never seem focused, curled ears, and a rounded, tan muzzle. Its body is mostly pink, but it also has yellow colorations on its forehead and tail.
Bruce quickly pulled out his Pokedex to identify this new Pokemon.
(Pokedex: Slowpoke. Galarian form. The Dopey Pokémon. A psychic type. This form of Slowpoke lives in the Galar region. Their facial expressions are normally spacey, but sometimes, they appear focused. Because they eat Galarica seeds from the Galar region, their tails have a spicy flavor)
"So it's a regional variant."said Bruce, who remembers Professor Magnolia telling him that certain Pokemon evolve differently from the rest of their species based on what region they're in.
"Now, are you going to stick with Zubat, or are you going to choose a new Pokemon?"Klara inquired, causing Bruce to remember that they were having a battle.
"Zubat, return."said Bruce, recalling the bat Pokemon back to his pokeball.
He then proceeded to pull out his great ball.
"Klink, I choose you."said Bruce, calling out the gear Pokemon for battle.
"Smart. I'm using a steel type so that my poison type moves don't work on it. But let's see how you handle my psychic type power."said Klara with confidence.
"Use confusion!"ordered Klara, causing Slowpoke's eyes to glow blue, and it points at the opponent.
The opponent, aka Klink, becomes outlined in light blue energy, and Slowpoke soon controls it with its mind.
"Use charge beam!"ordered Bruce, causing the gear Pokemon to release a blast of electricity towards the psychic type Pokemon.
The dopey Pokemon was soon hit with a charge beam, causing it to lose focus on release Klink from its psychic type attack.
"Now use thunder shock."ordered Bruce, causing the steel type Pokemon to surround its body with yellow electricity before it launched it at Slowpoke.
The dopey pokémon was quickly hit with the electric type attack, and it was clear it took damage.
"Now finish this off with vise grip!"Bruce instructed, causing the gear Pokemon to fly towards Slowpoke and attack it with its gear teeth.
The don't be pokémon was then launched towards its trainer, and as soon as it landed at its trainers feet, it was revealed to have been knocked out.
"No way!"said Klara, who couldn't believe that she was defeated without getting a single hit in.
Klara quickly recalled her Slowpoke back to its pokeball. This caused Bruce to recall Klink back to its great ball.
"What in the name of Arceus am I going to do! I can't allow a guy like this to enter the dojo. With his talent, I'll be outshined in no time... But I told Miss Honey that I would bring the new student."said Klara, who looked like she was trying to figure out what to do before she turned around and looked at Bruce with another look that said she had an idea.
"You know... Our dojo is on another level. Even the champion Leon Laventon was once a member. How about you forget being a student at the dojo, and just explore the Isle of Armor without issue. You can look anywhere you want, just don't come to the huge building that's over there."said Klara before she ran off like she had won.
"She's a strange one."Bruce said to himself before looking over at the building that she had pointed out earlier.
It was the only building that appeared to be on the island, or at least in that part of the island, so it wasn't that hard to miss.
"Hmm... Somebody is watching me with intense eyes, and I want to meet this person."said Bruce, who decided to ignore what Klara had said earlier and go to the master dojo.
Little did he know a certain bear-like Pokemon was looking at him with curiosity.
And it quickly formed a fist, like it was ready to see if this guy was worthy.
Only time will tell!
I do not own anything!
