i had been a good 8 years since drax became a pokemon trainer. 4 years since the human/pokemon hybrid incident with glaceon. it had taken him a few months to make an antidote for her. unfortunately she'd grown to used to her new body and quite liked it. espesially the part where she can punch shit. speaking of which. she'd become part fighting type after her transformation. drax had actually buy clothes for her to wear.

since then he'd caught other pokemon. some of which were battlers some of which were not. he was fine with whatever his pokemon wanted and had perfected the serum he originally wanted to make. his partner, serperior took that serum. she wasnt a regular serperior though. she kept her legs and arms through her evolution and her typing was wrong. she also looked much different from a regular serperior. she was mostly yellow and orange with some diamond patterns scattered along her body. she had two purple pistols that fired energized poison that either paralyzed or poisoned her opponents. her tail could also do this. she was a ground and poison type and had clawed gauntlets and greaves on her arms and legs. they werent actual gauntlets and greaves but they did look like them.

drax had also befriended four ralts on his journey, all of which wished to reach their final evolutions. however only two of these ralts reached their final evolutions. vio the gallade and evergreen the gardevoir. vio was named due to his more violent and dirty fighting style. he threw chivalry out the window and is a firm believer that chivalry and honor get you killed in battle. evergreen got her name from the fact that one of her legs is completely green. other then that she's a regular gardevoir. the other two who were still kirlia didnt want to evolve into either gardevoir or gallade. both of them had said there were two other evolutions that they wanted to evolve into. drax didnt really believe this but was proved wrong when his female kirlia had picked up a leaf stone from a nearby bush then came to him demanding that they go to a nearby shop to purchase a shiny stone.

drax rolled his eyes at his kirlias behavior but still gave in. he couldnt help it. she was adorable when she got like this. despite the cloak he wore and his mysterious look. he wasnt actually that dark and mysterious. he only wore the cloak because his best friend had made it for him and he always kept it with him. plus it was surprisingly warm.

after buying her the shiny stone and giving it to her he expected nothing to happen. only to be shocked when she actually started evolving. she grew to around the same height as gardevoir but was noticably different. her hair was a darker green and the patterns on her torso looked different. instead of a dress she had a red thorn like skirt with blue patterns on it. her legs had patterns on them that looked like thigh high boots and her legs were noticably more muscular then gardevoir's. she had to thorned vines coming from her head thst looked kind of like pigtails and finally, her red horns had completely disappeared. not even one through her chest like gardevoir.

after her evolution she'd smuggly looked at drax.

"I told you it'd work." she said

"alright, you win." said drax "i'm not always right. You happy?"

She just simply placed her hands on her hips and raised her head pridefully. this new evolution was grifist.

shortly after this, his other kirlia also evolved after picking up a metal coat and winning a few battles. his new form looked less friendly then grifist and was black and red in color. it was likely a steel type with all the metal on it. his former kirlia confirmed this claiming to be a gyroblast. his left arm was replaced by an arm cannon and his back had gatling guns that acted as auto turrets. one of his eyes was cybernetic and the pupil looked like a reticle.

the two new pokemon that drax now had made him realize he had 5 final forms of the ralts line. techically considering one of them was a paradox pokemon. it was a pain in the ass to catch that one. he was glad he even got permission from geeta to go into the creator in the first place. maybe he'd go back there sometime and do some more research. his iron valiant also had recieved upgrades from drax. turns out the future paradox pokemon were bio organic. they didnt need to eat, but could. they could feel pain and emotions but were still robotic looking. he'd removed something that iron valiant called a pain simulator that was built into their back and began working on them. hed upgraded their torso to be more sturdy and less snapable. built a mouth for them so they could use it in case they wanted to eat,(seriously who makes a pokemon that can eat but doesnt have the means to do so.) and made their face more expressive. they were happy with this and were even given an adjustable voice box so they could talk. that was much easier then making a serum.

yes drax had had a crazy journey. hed gon to several regions already. his home region unova, paldea, sinnoh, and johto. he was now traveling through a region named kanto. from what he'd heard back home. this region didnt know much about the other regions. the people of kanto were notorious for not paying attention to any of the non native pokemon. they werent biased or anything they were just really unaware sometimes.

drax had set up camp near a small town called palett. he and his pokemon were enjoying a nice lunch when drax heard a comotion. he noticed a boy pulling a pikachu on a rope. the pikachu in question did not seem to be having a good time. drax walked over to the boy to see what was up. "hey, kid." said drax.

the boy looked over in his direction.

"what's all this about?" drax questioned while gesturing to the pikachu.

"this pikachu is my starter." said the boy before glaring at the pokemon. "he's being a bit difficult at the moment." he said glaring at the pikachu.

"youre the one that's dragging me around like a damn waggon you stupid-" the pikachu was cut off as drax spoke up. "hey watch the language, buddy. hes only 10."

the pikachu stared in shock at the older human.

"You understood me!" pikachu said in shock.

drax tapped the circular light on his exosuit's chest. "translator." he said. "built it so I and anyone else around me can understand what pokemon are saying. way easier to communicate with pokemon that way." pikachu stared at him a bit longer and the kid wasnt much better. pikachi snapped back to reality first.

"In that case, i can finally tell this idiot why i dont like him." pikachu said glaring at the boy again. "listen up! i dont like you! you hugged me without conscent, you pull me around like some dog, and worst of all you tried to put me back in that damn ball!!"

the boy flinched back at that. "look pikachu im really sorry about that. i didnt know it'd make you uncomfortable when i hugged you and i didnt know you hated being inside your pokeball. as for pulling you around... okay ill admit that was kinda crappy of me to do." the boy said.

"kinda?" said pikachu before grumbling. "well none of those other humans ever appologised, so i guess i can forgive it this once. but, untie me!" the boy bent down and untied the rope.

"much better." said pikachu as he began stretching.

"does this mean we can be friends now?" asked the boy.

pikachu gave the boy a narrowed glance before speaking.

"i suppose. but no more pokeball or rubber gloves! trust goes both ways." pikachu said pointing at the boy.

"deal." said the boy taking off the gloves. "lets start over. im ash ketchum. will you help me become the worlds greatest pokemon master, pikachu?" pikachu looked at ash's hand for a minute. "Sure." he said taking ash's hand. "whats a pokemon master?" he asked. the question caused ash to pause. "you know... i dont actually know myself. but ill figure it out! thats what this journey is for!" ash said as he pumped his fist into the air. pikachu just sweat dropped at this.

"well, now that that's been settled, im drax pine." said drax. "inventor, trainer-" "and sarcastic grouch." said serperior as she came up behind drax and rested her arm on his head. "this is my partner, serperior." said drax pointing a thumb at her.

seeing the new pokemon ash tried scanning her with his pokedex.

"no data." said the pokedex

"it must be a new species." said ash.

"nah," said drax. "kantonians just habent upgraded to national dexes yet."

"national?" asked ash

"it means world wide." replied drax. "you guys only have your own regions pokemon available to you." drax looked at the boy for a minute before coming to a decision. "you might need someone to travel with. besides, itll probably be boring without someone to talk to."

ash looked confused. "what do you mean?"

he asked.

"i mean how about i join you?" he said.

"you mean on my journey?" asked ash getting excited. "sure. ive got nothing better to do and i could use something new." drax said with a lazy smile. "that'd be awesome." said ash

"itll also give you a bit more of knowledge on pokemon." drax said. "ive got quite a good number of pokemon not native to kanto. so you could learn about all the stuff most in kanto dont." ash was getting more giddy by the second. "yeah, lets do it!" he said. drax smirked at the kid. this was gonna be one heck of an adventure.
