Greetings everyone Moto Akira here I apologize for the long wait it was difficult to write a chapter that doesn't involved the usual monster of the week trope I wanted to do something different for this particular chapter anyways.
Today's chapter is going to focus on Rey and his Pokemon along with Ai, Shiro along with a little bit of the mysterious figure, so there won't be as much dialogue with Loud's with my OC's for this time until next chapter.
Important notes not all the chapters in this fanfic will have the monster of the week trope. I hope everyone finds this approach acceptable now on to the disclaimer.
I don't own Kamen rider or the Loud House they all belong to their respective creators the only thing I own is my OC I'm just writing for fun not for profit.
Chapter 2 Resting and settling.
It's late at night in the neighborhood called Huntington Manor. There lies a specially built brick manor. It has five windows on top and two at the bottom. Inside the manor are the ladies Ai and Shiro. They are in the kitchen baking a special batch of cookies.
"Shiro-chan, could you please get some ziplock bags?" Ai asked politely.
"On in, my lady." Shiro complied and retrieved a large box of zip-lock bags from the pantry, handing them over to her.
"I have to say this is an excellent idea you suggested Shiro-chan. What was I thinking in going to the mall? I could have done this simple idea instead! Despite our complicated mess at the mall today, it did get us to meet some wonderful people and got to witness something rather... both interesting and alarming," Ai commented with a hint of bewilderment, excitement, and concern.
"I concur, while we should appreciate his intervention in defeating Amanda, we must remain vigilant we already have the Orphnochs to deal with. I don't want to add someone like him to the list," Shiro says grimly, causing Ai to sweat nervously before she quickly regains her composure.
Ai said, "I hope we don't have to fight him; he seems to be a very-" As she was about to finish her comment, the phone in the kitchen suddenly rang. Shiro went to the phone and answered it.
"Hello Hinode residence, who am I speaking to?" Shiro asked politely, but her face suddenly shifted from a neutral expression to one of annoyance and disdain.
"Oh, it's you, my lord. Yes, she's with me right now. Fine... I'll pass it over to you." Shiro places her hand on the speaker of the phone and lets out a frustrated sigh.
"It's him, my lady. He wishes to speak with you." Shiro hands her the phone. Ai reluctantly takes it.
"Hello," Ai responds to the phone call in a monotonous tone.
*Greetings, Ai-sama. How is your stay in Royal Woods so far?*
"It's been great, Bishop. There's nothing to worry about here."
*That's reassuring, my lady. Now I can assume you're wondering why I'm calling you?*
"I have school tomorrow, and you're going to remind me to dress appropriately. Just because I'm attending a public school doesn't mean I should lower myself to the same level as the commoners in a lower establishment of education." Ai said, air-quoting while in a mocking tone expressing her frustration at this conversation.
*As always, your deduction skills are quite remarkable. Having such skills is beneficial for someone of your rank, my lady now get some rest; tomorrow is your big day.*
The one named Bishop ends the call and Ai puts the phone on the counter. Ai's neutral expression changes to one of annoyance and frustration.
"Why does he always remind me of my status? I just want to live a normal life for once without all this royal nonsense!" Ai exclaims, frustrated, as strange marks appear on her face. Her maid quickly embraces her to calm her down.
"Ai-chan, calm yourself. I know what Lord Bishop said frustrated you, but you must remain calm; you know how dangerous you are when you get emotional." Ai quickly calms herself and the marks on her face disappear. Ai breaks away from Shiro's embrace, then lowers her head as she looks at her gloved left hand with a weak smile.
"I wish I had a normal life, Shiro. My life hasn't been the same since I got this mark. At first I thought it would be great to help our people as their leader." Ai said, and her weak smile turned into a sad look.
"But I'm not too sure anymore? Ever since my coronation, lots of fangires have made many attempts on my life. It really hurts when you have no one on your side." As Ai was about to finish her sentence, Shiro kneeled down at her level and hugged her, stroking her hair tenderly.
"I know you're scared, Ai-chan, and I understand your resentment towards your status. If it were up to me, I would gladly take this mark upon myself so you wouldn't have to suffer this burden." Shiro broke away from the hug to look at Ai with a serious expression.
"But I know that's impossible, the only thing we can do right now is pray for the best, and I as long as I'm here, no one's going to harm you; I will always be here to protect you, Ai-chan." Shiro said with a tender, kind, loving smile. Ai looked at her maid with tears in her eyes as a smile formed on her face.
"Thanks, Shiro-chan. You always know what to say to make me feel better." Ai said as she hugged her.
"It is my pleasure, my lady." Shiro says smiling return the hug as well.
Meanwhile
It's a late night at the Loud House, everyone is still fast asleep except for Rey, who is lying on the couch texting his benefactor on his still-charging phone.
Once done with on his phone, he began to think and contemplate on his current situation. Then he recalled the events that led him to stay overnight at the Loud House.
After leaving the mall, he stopped by at a local pizza joint with Leni. Upon arriving at the Loud House, they noticed the family van was covered in blue paint. Next, he introduced himself to the family (minus Lincoln). Following that, he gave them three boxes of pizza. At first, the entire family wondered why he was doing this? Leni told them that Rey is aware about Luan's prank antics on April Fool's Day, so he bought them in hopes to distract them after the day they had. This kind gesture really touched their hearts.
After the arrival of Lincoln Loud, the middle child, the family proceeded to have dinner. As they were eating, they all asked questions about Rey. Which he answered honestly, leaving out some details about himself for obvious reasons. The parents then asked how he and Leni met. Rey answered their question, but he didn't want to tell them the real story and he also made Leni swear not to tell her family the real story. The main story he came up with is that he met her when she was about to be mugged, which they believed. They were all surprised and shocked that someone had tried to attack Leni. They thanked him for being there to save her.
After dinner, Rey bluntly told them he was going to sleep at Ketchum Park again. They asked why, he bluntly told them about not having any money to stay at a motel or a hotel. Hearing this, they felt bad. Leni asked her parents if it was alright for Rey to stay at their house for the night. Surprisingly, they said yes, and even the siblings were on board with him staying. Rey was a little surprised by this, so he reluctantly accepted, which brought us here now.
"While I do appreciate Leni in talking to her folks for letting me spending the night here I shouldn't overstay my welcome, I need to come up with a plan for my living arrangements as well and looking in for a part-time job to support my finances while living in this world to face my enemies which reminds me." Rey says he gets up from the couch picks up bag rummage through it and takes out his six pokeballs.
"I really like too have a nice talk with my team but I can't do it out here right now. I'll have to wait when everyone's out of the house." Rey said as he puts them away and lays back on the couch to get some rest.
(The next day)
It's morning at the Loud House. We see Rey sleeping peacefully with no worries in the world. Next, we see three individuals watching him sleep: those individuals happen to be the only boy in the Loud House Lincoln Loud, and his two younger sisters, Lucy and Lisa Loud. Lincoln looks at him concernedly, Lucy and Lisa look at him curiously as she's checking any signs of a pulse.
Moments ago, when all the Loud kids came down from their rooms for breakfast, they all noticed Rey was sleeping. The other sisters noticed this but decided to let him sleep. However, the recently mentioned Loud kids noticed something didn't look right with Rey. Lincoln and Lucy were the first to approach him. They noticed that he wasn't making any sounds or indicating signs of breathing. This got Lincoln a little worried and creeped out while Lucy just looked at him with mixed emotions at his state. The two called out for Lisa, the youngest and smartest of the family. Upon seeing him, she too found his state of sleep very worrisome. She wasted no time checking his pulse.
"Lisa is Rey?"
"Good news siblings," Lisa said. "I have confirmed that our guest is still alive." Lincoln and Lucy released a sigh of relief.
"That's a relief."
"I thought I had to be the one to break the bad news to Leni." Lucy said.
"You know, you kids shouldn't jump to conclusions just because someone is sleeping peacefully," Rey said as he quickly stood up, startling the three children.
"Also, I apologize if I startled any of y'all. I tend to sleep in a way that makes it appear that I'm dead," Rey says as he gets up from the couch to stretch his body.
"Lincoln, Lucy, Lisa, come on or we're going to be late." Coming in from the front door is the lady of the house and mother of the loud kids, Rita Loud. Rita pauses and looks to see the already awake Rey who casually waves at her.
"Good morning Miss Loud." He said politely.
"Good morning to you too Rey I hope you slept well?" Rita asked politely.
"I did Mrs Loud." He replied as he finished doing his morning stretches.
"Although as much as I enjoy conversating with y'all, but all of you must go to work and school. I do not want to feel guilty about any of you getting in trouble because of me."
"You're right, let's get in the van. You three." Rita ordered the three kids to head to the vehicle as she followed behind them but not before stopping at the door to look back at Rey.
"Oh Rey my husband left you some breakfast on the table help yourself."
"Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it. Oh, and tell the rest of your kids that I said 'Good morning' and have a wonderful day at school - including you three.'"
"I will let them know and you have a wonderful day Rey." Rita hollard hearing that everyone entered their van and drove off Rey went into his bag taking out the six pokeballs and phone.
"All right, the entire Loud family is out of the house now. It's time to have a long conversation with my Pokemon." He says as he heads to use the upstairs bathroom, but before he could head upstairs, he catches a glimpse of his family pets: Charles the dog, Cliff the cat, Waltz the canary, and the hamster in the ball, Geode. All four pets look at Rey consciously and suspiciously; they don't know why, but when they first meet his eyes, they feel something unusual about him.
Rey knows that the pets are cautious around him; after all, animals are quite sensitive to other people. They can sense our presence and energy. Whatever it is they're feeling, Rey assumes it's either his Pokémon or his powers that he carries with him. He wants them to know that he himself isn't a threat to the family. So, he kneels down to them at eye level to speak to them.
"Y'all have nothing to fear from me," he said. "I am just a man passing through, trying to do some good. You can stop looking at me so suspiciously and cautiously. Your family will not be harmed while I'm here. I promise that." Rey stated determinedly. The animals could feel that he was being genuine with his words. These were enough to ease their suspicion of him, but they were still wary of him because they could sense something about him. However, his words were enough for them to feel relaxed around him.
With that little obstacle out of the way, he proceeded to walk up the stairs. Once he reached the upstairs hallway, he proceeded to move towards the restroom. Once inside the bathroom, he took out his six Poke Balls.
"Okay, gang, come on out!" Rey throws them into the air, all six of them opening their mouths, releasing a bright white ethereal energy. Once the energy solidifies and disperses, a Pokémon is revealed. The first Pokémon is a Hisuian variant Typhlosion, next to this Pokémon is Kaori Kestrel, next to her is the Penguin Pokémon Empoleon, next to it is Meni, and then finally, the last Pokémon is the Ground/Dragon/Shark Pokémon Garchomp.
"Good morning everyone."
"Good morning Rey!"
"Boss!"
The three other Pokémon (minus Kaori Kestrel and Meni) were all stunned and surprised that they were able to speak in English.
"Well this very weird?" the Empoleon said.
"I'll say this is really strange to speak in English like our trainer." The Garchomp said in a calm but surprised and confused tone.
"I'm not complaining, at least the boss can finally understand us now!" The Typhlosion said positively.
"Once again you found a positive in yet another weird situation, Onibi," the Garchomp stated to the Typhlosion named Onibi.
"Hey it's the way I rolled Ryūsei don't knock it until you try it." Onibi replied to the garchomp named Ryūsei with a smug face.
Before Ryūsei could say anything about his comment or opinion, a loud growl came from Onibi's stomach, causing the Empoleon to shake his head.
"Really, can't your stomach be quiet for just one moment, Onibi?" The Empoleon stated annoyed as the other female Pokemon simply placed their hands and wings over their faces.
"Hey, I can't help it, Edgar," Onibi said embarrassedly to the Empoleon named Edgar before switching his attention towards his trainer, as did the rest of his fellow Pokemon.
"Hey boss, can we get this morning meeting over with? I really want something to eat," Onibi complained.
"All right, all right. The faster we get this meeting started, the faster we can eat. But first..." Rey digs into his jacket pocket and takes out his phone, then dials the number that connects him to his benefactor. After a second, she picks up, and he quickly puts the phone on speaker.
*Good morning Rey how how was your morning at the Loud house I bet it was chaotic!*
"I woke up just as everyone else was heading off to school or work, but that's not important. My question is, did you have anything to do with my Pokémon's ability to speak English?"
*Wait hold on? you can understand them!?*
"No lady, the boss is talking to himself in the bathroom like a crazy person!" Kestrel exclaimed sarcastically.
*I see you put your phone on speaker. Yeah I placed a spell that allows us to communicate more efficiently when I was briefing them on your mission. When the briefing was concluded, I had thought about removing the spell entirely, but then I realized it would be more convenient for your Pokémon to communicate with you in battle and helping civilians. Well, anyway, I have some important things to attend to today, so I'll talk to you later. Bye everyone.*
Rey and his Pokémon let out an exasperated sigh as Claire ended the call.
Rey said, "I wish she had told me about you guys beforehand so I could have been prepared for this conversation. I really hate being caught off guard like this."
"The feelings mutual Rey I must ask you can we trust that Claire lady she seems to be rather unusual." Edgar says with a scorn of distrust in his face Kaori see the look on his face and hold his wings gently pats it.
"As usual, you're too quick to distrust people, Edgar, but after what you've been through, I don't blame you for being like this; even I'm a little wary of her," Kaori said with a deadpan tone.
"Well, it's too late to back out on this mission now, and I can assure you she has no ill will towards us. Anyway, with that being said, let's get this meeting started." Ray said in a serious tone, which caused his Pokémon to act more professional.
Meanwhile, at Royal Woods Elementary School, we see our young white-haired boy, Lincoln, sitting at his desk next to his neighbor, Clyde McBride. These two boys, along with a large majority of their classmates, are sitting patiently while other students talk amongst themselves.
"Good morning class." Everyone stop what they were doing and looked up see their teacher Miss Johnson.
"Good morning Mrs Johnson." Everyone in the classroom said.
"Before we get started, I would like to announce that we have a new student joining us today," Ms. Johnson said. Right on cue, the student entered the classroom. The student is female, with short black hair and glasses. She is wearing a purple t-shirt with a single white square in the center of it, resembling a pink heart. Accompanying this, she is wearing a plain white skirt and both of her hands are covered by fingerless gloves matching her shirt. Her shoes also match her skirt. This girl is none other than Ai, looking nervous while holding a beige tote bag.
"H-hello everyone m-m-my name is Ai Hinode and I-I can't wait to get to know everyone h-here oh and b-before we can get our class started I-I have b-b-brought everyone each a bag of cookies for every one of you!" Ai said nervously as she handed everyone in the classroom a bag of cookies even as handing one to Miss Johnson.
"Oh my, aren't you the sweetest girl we have ever met? Everyone make sure to thank Ai."
"Thank you, AI," everyone in the classroom said.
"Y-you're welcome everyone," Ai said nervously.
Back at the Loud House.
"All right everyone, here's what y'all need to know. All seven of us are currently staying at a house that is famously also infamously known as the Loud House. Before the six of you ask, this house got its name due to a large number of people and pets living here," Rey explained.
"Now then I want you guys to memorize everything I'm about to say, unfortunately I didn't have time to make files on everyone that lives in this house." Rey says it in a disappointed tone as he takes out a fairly size stack of note paper and takes one out and hands it to one of his Pokemon. All of them huddle around to look at the image on that image shows a poorly drawn image of a blonde haired woman and a slightly thinning Burnett man.
"Starting off these are the adults of the house Lynn Loud Sr. and his wife Rita Loud and before I continue I like to apologize for my poor drawing skills you know I'm the best artist."
"We know Rey you don't need to remind us." All six of his Pokemon said in a deadpan tone.
"Moving on Lynn's senior works as an IT guy in a big company, his primary passion is being a cook at home, and Rita works as a dental hygienist, she's also a bit of a writer herself, dreaming of becoming an author." Rey informed as he pulled another drawing from his stack and handed it over to his Pokémon. On that drawing was another blonde girl wearing a blue tank top and shorts, holding a cell phone.
"Next we have the first-born daughter of the Loud family, Lori Loud. Now to describe Lori in one word, she can be a total bitch, following that she has a little bit of obsession to talking to her boyfriend a lot on her phone and a bit demanding as an authority as the first born but I have hope she will lighten up in the foreseeable future." Rey said hopefully as he yet again pulled out another drawing from his stack of notes and handed it to his Pokémon. On that note is a drawing of a blonde girl wearing sunglasses in a teal dress; a drawing that three of his Pokémon recognized.
"After Lori we have Leni Loud, the second daughter of the family. She's a bit ditzy but she's a total sweetheart and an angel; she has great talent in fashion; some decent skills as a carpenter; and she's a decent lock picker. Kaori Kestrel and Meni have already met her," Rey informed before he could say anything else. Another loud growling stomach got everyone's attention, and this time it was Rey's.
"Let's speed this up," said Rey as he handed three notes to his Pokémon. The notes showed three brunettes: one wearing a purple short with a skull on it and a skirt, another one that had a plain white shirt with a checkered yellow and brown skirt with a flower, and another one with a sports jersey.
"Next we have the third daughter Luna Loud awesome rocker with great potential. After Luna is Luan Loud comedian prankster she owns her own business that does parties for kids but fair warning stay clear away from her during April fools, Lynn loud Jr named after her father and The Jock of the family downside overly competitive cannot accept loss too well." Rey said with a huge amounts annoyance, he takes out four notes and hands them over to his team.
"All right, moving on to kid number 6: Lincoln Loud, the first-born son and only boy of the Loud House. Kid likes video games, superhero comic books, survival shows. He has some form of an inferiority complex due to the sisters' talents, but the kid doesn't realize he's full of potential himself and he calls himself a 'man of the plan' even though some of his plans don't always work out. Next to him we have Lucy Loud, several years younger than Lincoln. If you can tell by her drawing, she's a goth; she's into many things that are spooky and creepy. The girl is a talented poet; she has an unusual habit of stinking up on people. I want to see her try with me or us." Rey says confidently, he and his Pokémon have been through a lot. Many things have snuck up behind them and tried to kill them throughout their journey and training. So he feels confident that Lucy's habit won't affect them.
"Coming next are the twins Lana and Lola Loud these two are the exact opposite of each other in many interesting ways. Lana is the older twin; she likes to play in dirt and eat a lot of gross stuff that I cannot go into because I don't want us to lose our appetites. Surprisingly, she is pretty good with her hands, meaning if you have a mechanical or plumbing problem, she'll fix it. She is also an animal lover and has tamed a lot of wild animals. How she does it is beyond me." Rey commented on one of Lana's abilities. His Pokémon, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel rather impressed by Lana's ability to tame wild animals. All six of them wondered if her skills would work on taming wild Pokémon.
"Moving right along we have Lola Loud unlike her older sister she is clean and proper always about perfection Lola maine talent and skill are in beauty pageant. She can be a bit spoiled Petty and evil she also has a short temper and is not above playing dirty if the need for it arises but underneath all that she can't be a bit sweet." Rey said handing over the last two notes in his possession.
"Finally we have the two youngest children of the Loud House, Lisa and Lily Loud. Lisa is a prodigy child genius with several doctorate degrees and the youngest person in the world to achieve a Nobel Prize, which I'll explain what it is at another time. Despite her positive achievements, she has several negatives like for one she's practically a borderline mad scientist I fear that one day one of her experiments will fall into the wrong hands and could cause the destruction of the human race in the world." Rey says in a terrified and annoyed tone while pitching the bridge on his nose.
"Now onto Lily Loud, she's the recent addition to the family so there's really not much to say about her but I can tell you guys the baby is probably going to surprise us in many ways." Rey says but before he concludes this meeting he takes out four different notes on them this time they are four animals.
"And before I forget we have the pets of the house Charles the dog, Cliff the cat Waltz the Canary and Geo the hamster just a little heads up these pets can sense your presence unsurprisingly animals tend to get frightened when they sense something they cannot understand or fathom but rest assured I already reassured them they had nothing to fear." Rey says as Kaori hands back the notes her trainer has drawn which he takes back.
"Thank you, Kaori. This concludes our morning meeting. Before we start eating, do any of you have any comments or questions you would like to ask?" Rey asked.
"Nope we're all good." All his Pokemon setting unison although they do have a lot of questions to ask but that will be safe for another time once they get something to eat also don't want to drag this on any longer as their stomachs began to grow.
"Excellent let's go somewhere private to have breakfast."
Lunch time
Ai comes into the cafeteria holding a rectangular item that is wrapped in a green cloth. She looks around to see where she should sit and eat. Then she sees Lincoln and Clyde sitting together by themselves. Ai begins to debate whether or not to sit with them or go somewhere else. After a brief moment, she decides to go to them.
"Um... excuse me," both Lincoln and Clyde stopped what they were doing and looked at Ai, who was fidgeting nervously.
"Lincoln Loud, Clyde McBride is it all right i-if I can have lunch with the two of you p-p-please?" Ai nervously.
"Sure, you can sit with us, Ai," Lincoln replied in a welcoming tone.
"A-a-are you sure I don't mean to oppose."
Clyde replied in a similar welcoming tone, "Nonsense, we would love to have you at our table, Ai."
"Thank you guys, I really appreciate it," Ai said cheerfully as she sat down with them and set down her items, un-wrapping it to reveal a rectangular box with cherry blossoms on it along with a pair of chopsticks.
"What's that?" both Lincoln and Clyde asked at the same time.
Ai explains as she opens it, "It's a Japanese lunch box better known as a bento." The contents of the box are simple; white rice on one side and two tiny cooked sausages next to it are sliced vegetables.
"Hey Ai, by any chance are you from Japan?" Lincoln asked curiously.
"I am." Ai answered as she ate.
"What part of Japan do you come from?" Clyde asked.
"Tokyo... it's a pretty big city nothing compared to the Royal Woods but if I'm honest with you two I prefer how small Royal Woods is at least I feel safe here." She says in a low voice.
"What?!"
"Oh, nothing guys," Ai said nervously, quickly brushing off her previous statement. "Just thinking out loud, don't worry about it."
"So how are you liking your first day of school so far, Ai?" Clyde asked.
"It's been a challenge and an experience I have to admit with you two this is the first time ever being at school in my entire life," Ai confessed nervously. This caught both Lincoln and Clyde off guard.
"What?!" both Lincoln and Clyde exclaimed.
"It's true, and I'm embarrassed to admit it," Ai giggled and scratched her head nervously.
"I'm a little bit of a sheltered child and long story short... I have the equivalent of helicopter parents so you could say I'm very frail in health and that is why I didn't attend school or have any friends growing up." Ai said in a gloomy/lonely tone. There were some truths in her words but she's trying to keep certain things about herself a secret for obvious reasons. Not when she feels gloomy or sad, she quickly slaps her hands on her face to get over this mood.
Okay... enough about my gloomy life. So tell me about something interesting about you two! What are your likes and interests, hobbies, favorite foods, animals? Do you have a large or small family, and do you have any other friends or siblings or maybe even a funny story when you two met?" Before she could finish her sentence, Lincoln put both of his hands on hers, calming her down.
"Okay Ai, take it easy, one question at a time," Lincoln said.
"All right what do you want to ask first Ai?" Both Lincoln and Clyde asked Ai thanks about it for a moment right before she snaps her fingers.
"If it's okay I would like to hear the story on how you became friends, if it's not too much to ask?" Ai asked giving them a nervous smile both Lincoln and Clyde just simply give her a smile.
"All right Ai here's how we met."
At the Loud House
We see Rey in the basement with his Pokemon having a conversation the only one not present with them is Ryūsei, after the meeting he begin to think where be a good possible place to dine with his Pokemon after a moments of thinking an idea struck his head he remember the events of left in the dark so he headed down to the basement of the house it didn't take him long to find a circuit breaker, without a moment of hesitation he flipped all the switches instantly cutting off all the power of the house. With that little issue out of the way he called out his Pokemon to the basement through there he set up there morning breakfast which is consist of a large assortment of berries while he ate the breakfast that was what for him by Lynn senior.
"Man those berries really hit the spot." Onibi said as he lick his mouth before burping.
"Please show some proper manners Onibi." Kaori says with disappointment as she wipes her face with a napkin.
"Speaking of which Master as me Kaori we're getting everyone's breakfast ready I have noticed that our berries are running short we need to consider finding other food alternatives for us to eat." Meni said regretfully.
"I agree while we still do have plenty of Pokemon food but I think we should definitely find other alternatives just to be safe Rey." Kaori chimed in.
"Thanks for bringing this to my attention girls I'll be sure to do that and I'll be preserving every Berry in my collection for later use for planting until we find a more suitable environment to plant them in secret." Rey said already making a mental note to hold on to some berries and keep track on other food and essentials.
"The food shouldn't be our only worries Rey." Grabbing their attention they noticed Ryūsei coming into the basement.
"All of us should be consider our living situations if you don't mind me asking sir how long do you plan on staying with the Louds? I checked every room in the house it seems that it'll be very difficult for us to move about without being detected." Ryūsei asked Rey pick up his backpack it begins to rummage through it.
"My plan is to stay with them for about 2 weeks, first week is to look for a job if I managed to get a job within the first weak mission one complete next..." Rey pauses for a second he pulls out two small golden sphere items these particular items are called nuggets.
"I will sell a certain amount of these nuggets for cash, hopefully the cash I can get for these will be enough for food and rent or at least a good starting point to that." Rey says with a hopeful tone as he puts them away.
"So what are your plans for today boss stay here and wait out the day until everyone come home or get out of the house and explore the town?" Kestrel asked Rey response with a casual smirk.
"Is that even a question Kestrel, like always explore while I'm at it I'll probably pick some job applications on the way." Rey explains.
"So what time should we start leaving boss?" Onibi asked.
"Right about now but first." Rey takes out all six of his pokeballs and pointed at them.
"Time to get back in your balls guys." Rey said a red beam shoots out of the pokeballs hitting his Pokemon engulfing them then the Pokemon being sucked in Rey quickly put their pokéballs in his pockets then he moved to the circuit breaker he quickly flipped on all the switches instantly all the power in the house has returned once that's done he proceeded to leave the basement once out he headed to the front door of the house exiting out of the house he then mounted his bike started the engine places helmet and rode off to do his missions for the day.
Elsewhere at an unknown location we see our mysterious hooded sitting in a stone like throne he's staring at a phone on that phone is a video of yesterday's incident at the Royal woods Mall it Decade battling against Amanda the figure pauses the video and puts away his phone.
"Interesting...very interesting, it seems that a Rider has appeared in this world. I bet it's the boy that I saw the other night at the Loud House." The mysterious hidden figure said as he got up from his throne and started pacing back and forth.
"Now here's my first question, should I kill him now or let him live? I'm a little bit conflicted. On one hand I'm disappointed at the arrival of a Rider. But on the other hand I'm kind of glad that a Rider showed up. I will admit spreading chaos has become quite boring, sometimes a random unexpected surprise is needed to make things a little bit more fun. And also that barrier is still around the planet suppressing my power so there is very little I can do at the moment." The mysterious figure stops his pacing and sits back at his throne.
"Eh screw it might as well mess with him for a while it's better than waiting and sitting on a stone thrown all day." The mysterious figure says shrugging his shoulders.
"Now I need to confirm that that boy I saw the other night is that Rider that attacked that fanger I also want to know what he knows and what is his purpose here and what brought him here? And I also need to know how strong he is and the power is he's using is Decade not to mention he also has that strange looking bird creature along with whatever those things were?" The mysterious hooded figure said in a curious and confused tone.
"Well it's time to get my hands dirty!" The mysterious hooded figure exclaimed dramatically as he lifted up his glowing left hand. A portal appeared in front of him and the mysterious hooded figure leaped through it in an instant. He appeared on top of a fast food restaurant called "The Burp and Burger" in Royal Woods.
"While I may not be able to portal travel to other worlds I do find the ability to portal travel to other places on this planet to be quite fine and free." The mysterious figure complimented his power gleefully as he was about to jump off the restaurant when he noticed a familiar teenage boy parking his bike at the restaurant. Once he removed his helmet it was revealed to be none other than Rey who sets his helmet down on his bike and heads into the restaurant.
"Oh what a lucky break," the hooded figure says happily as he grabs a random fly that was about to fly past him.
Thank you for flying by to my little winged insect! The mysterious figure said happily as their eyes began to glow a deep shade of purple.
"Now look on my eyes and listen closely you are now my servant your assignment is to follow and spy on a certain individual gather as much Intel of this boy do not anything that is not necessary." The mysterious figure right on cue Rey exit out of the restaurant holding a sheet of paper he folds said she the paper and puts it inside his jacket then he mounts his bike start the engine put on his helmet then rise off to his next location.
"Perfect timing now follow him." The mysterious entity released the fly it proceeded to follow Rey.
It is now after school we see Lincoln and Clyde along with Ai exiting the school together conversating but before they could continue their conversation Ai notice a black car parking in front of the school in the driver's seat is Shiro.
"My ride is here." Ai said she she looked to Lincoln and Clyde with a smile.
"Lincoln Clyde I'll see the two of you tomorrow and thank you for letting me sit with you at lunch." Ai gives them a small bowel and leaves.
"Later Ai," both Lincoln and Clyde said as they looked back at her and waved goodbye before entering the car. The driver started the engine and drove off.
"So how was your first day at in actual school Ai-sama?" Shiro asked curiously.
"It was challenging and entertaining because it was difficult for me to talk to other children of my age and at the same time I got to experience what it was like to be a normal girl for once in a public school and I have made two of the most nicest friends." Ai said happily.
"I noticed that so tell me what their names?" Shiro ask.
"Their names are Lincoln Loud and Clyde McBride." Ai replied.
Lincoln Loud and Clyde McBride I'll be sure to remember- wait a minute, you said one of the boy's names is Lincoln Loud? Is this Lincoln related to Leni girl from yesterday?" Shiro asked.
"Yes Lincoln is Leni little brother." Ai informed.
"Huh? What do you know? Speaking of Leni, did anyone at the school happen to recognize you from yesterday's incident?" Shiro asked worriedly. Last night on the news, they highlighted and reported on the incident at the mall. A bystander recorded the incident, which showed a brief glimpse of both Ai and Shiro in danger after last night's news, Shiro encouraged Ai to change her appearance to avoid being recognized and bombarded with questions about their safety and the safety of others.
"Nope no one did." Ai answered.
Excellent," Shiro said. "Is there anything else you should know about your day?" Ai shook her head in reply.
"Enough about my day, did you see or do anything interesting today, Shiro-chan?" Ai asked curiously.
"While you're at school, I decided to take a drive around Royal Woods to get familiar with the roads and the town itself. While doing that, I stopped by a grocery store to buy some stuff for tonight's dinner. Interestingly, I saw Rey there. I wanted to say hi to him, but he had already ridden off on his bike. While I was done with my shopping, I decided to take my time and scope out for any fangires or Orphnoch around here. And it turns out there's a very small population of fangires that live here, and I can safely confirm that they would rather be left alone than cause problems. I also managed to get an interview with a local fangire who lives here, and they informed me that there are no Orphnoch in this town. Most of them would rather spend their time in the bigger cities than waste their time in a small town. In layman's terms, you have nothing to worry about while living here. You can live your normal life like any other girl. While we stay here." Shiro says with a reinsured smile Ai let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad, now I finally feel like I can be somewhere safe and be normal... away from those horrible Fangires who wanted my powers. Now I am glad that we moved to this place where I can finally be myself and have friends," Ai said happily as tears slowly came out of her eyes.
"I'm really glad we found a place for you to live your life peacefully my lady and I hope I get to meet them too." he says with a hopeful smile but that hopeful smile soon turns into one of worry and concern.
'I just hope your time in Royal woods well and I want you to grow up somewhere safe away from everything no Little girl like you should face a tremendous burden for the power you have I hope this piece we have here in this town will last.'
Meanwhile we see Rey riding on his motorcycle after he left the house he spent most of his day going to business to business getting his hands on any job applications at any place that was hiring, next he rode all over town he did it so he can memorize Street and building so he won't get lost or else after that he went to a jewelry store trying to sell his gold nuggets he managed to get a decent amount of money for them well in his perspective what he considers is decent amount and right now he is heading back to the Loud House.
"All right, today has been quite productive. I managed to send out a number of job applications and sold four of my gold nuggets for $400 at a jewelry store. Although, I wish I could sell my larger nuggets, it's just too much of a risk to sell them- Before he could finish his sentence, Rey felt his jacket vibrate. He parked his bike on the sidewalk and then took out his phone from one of his jacket pockets. The caller was none other than Claire. He decided to answer her call.
"Hello?"
*Hey Ray how's your day been?!*
"I've been doing alright," Rey replied. "I've been exploring Royal Woods while taking care of some personal errands. And please don't take this the wrong way, but what exactly do you want from me, Claire?" Rey asked sternly.
*Oh nothing much I just wanted to check on how you are doing. Also, I would like to inform you that your living arrangements have been settled.*
Ray asked very concerned, "Wait, what do you mean? All of our living arrangements have already been settled. What are you talking about?"
*Well, since I've seen your memories and I technically know you as well as a mother would know her own child, I don't want you to overstay your welcome at the Loud House. However, you have a limited amount of money, so you can't afford dinner or a place to stay. Therefore, I took it upon myself and had a secret meaning with Mr. and Mrs. Loud. They have agreed to let you stay with them indefinitely.*
*Now before you ask you might be asking how on Earth did you schedule a meeting with Lynn and Rita given the knowledge that you a world absorbers cannot enter the world's they are observing and how the hell did you convince them to let me stay with them?*
*Well let me present you with the answers you're looking for one: I can create artificial bodies that suppress about 90% of my powers, which will allow me to interact with any world I set foot in, so it won't harm them. Two: I convinced their employers to let them off for a couple of hours so I can have a private meeting with them. Three: I told Rita and Lynn senior that I'm your lawyer and told them a very tragic story about your past and why you're in Royal woods.*
"How tragic are we talking about?!" Rey asked in annoyed tone.
*Short version I told them you witness your entire family get murdered and you're the lone survivor they felt horrible about hearing your tragedy so I convinced them with some use of my powers to let you stay with them in hiding until said killer is caught or until you turn 18.*
"Which means I'm stuck with them for 3 years and my appearance is that of a 15-year-old." Rey released an annoyed sigh.
"I really wish you didn't do this Claire you could have at least asked about my opinions before you gone and done this lie of a story." Rey pinches the bridge between his eyes frustratingly.
*I apologize Rey I didn't want to see you struggling in the streets with money problems I thought this was the best course for you.*
"What's done is done no use complaining about it now. I just have to accept this for right now but still though you did what you thought it was right and I can't stay mad for someone caring about my well beings but next time please run it by me okay."
*I promise Rey I'll ask you before I take action again well I'll talk to you later bye Rey.*
"Bye Claire." Rey says as he ends the call he puts his phone back into one of the pockets of his jacket he starts the engine and rides back to the Loud house.
Rey arrived at the house he noticed that vanzilla was parked at in front of the garage he got off his bike and moved it next to vanzilla he took off his helmet and heads for the door but upon opening the door he was met with the kids causing all form of chaos and mischief along with a loud explosion in the mix.
'Well they don't call this place the Loud house for nothing which remind me I need to make a mental note to check on Lisa.' Rey commented as he heads towards the kitchen to find Rita and Lynn sr lo and behold there they are in the kitchen talking.
"Mr and Mrs Loud I'm back." Both parents stop what they're doing and focus their attention to Rey.
"Oh hey Rey welcome back."
"How was your day?"
"My day was fairly well Mr and Mrs Loud anyways before we continue can the three of us have a talk outside in private." Ray said sternly as he pointed towards the kitchen door as he heads to it the parents followed him as well now outside the three of them decided to head to their parked vehicle.
"Okay so what if you want to talk about Rey?" Rita asked concerning.
"I know you two have met Claire today and she called while I was on my way back. She informed me that she had a meeting with the both of you and you guys know about my... tragic circumstances and you guys were convinced by her to let me stay with you until my family's killer is caught or when I turn 18." Rey informed and continued to talk.
"To be honest, I was planning on leaving as soon as possible once I found a job and an apartment, but my plans have changed. Before I can accept this arrangement, though, I need you all to be honest with me. Do you really not mind having an extra mouth to feed?" Rey asked. There was a brief moment of silence before Rita spoke up.
"After what we've been told about what happened to your family and what you've been through, it didn't feel right to throw you out after all you saved Leni's life and I can tell you are a good person and Claire really highlighted your good qualities," Rita said.
"I feel the same way about anyone who goes out of their way to save our kids and tries to brighten us up after the day we had yesterday. They are okay in my book and I'm really sorry for what happened to your family, Rey. You're free to stay with us as long as you like, at least until that killer is caught." Lynn Sr. said, saying nothing and processing everything they said. He then took a quick glance at their eyes, noticing a slight glow emanating from them.
'God, I really feel horrible that Claire came up with this lie to let me stay here, and I can tell she used some form of manipulation on them. And Claire went to the trouble of coming here to convince them. And there's no going back from this if I ever make enemies. The least I can do for them is to do my part around the house, watch over their kids, and protect them all. That's what I can do for them for now.' Rey said in a guilty tone in his thoughts, but before he could speak anything else, a loud growl from his stomach broke the silence in the van.
"Sorry about that, Mr. and Mrs. Loud," Rey said apologetically. "I haven't eaten anything all day except for breakfast." He scratched his head embarrassedly.
Lynn Sr. says, "That reminds me, I need to get dinner started. I'll see you inside, Rey." He then heads back to the house to prepare dinner.
Rey says, "I guess we should follow your husband's lead, but before I forget Mrs. Loud, we need to tell your kids about my situation."
"Well tell them after dinner which reminds." Rita opens a glove compartment in the second passenger in the compartment is wrapped rectangular item.
"Miss Claire asked us to give you this, we don't know what it is but she insisted that we give this to you," Rita explained as she handed the item to Rey who took it.
"I appreciate it, thank you, Mrs. Loud," Rey says gratefully. Rita simply nods and heads back into the house as well.
"Well this is interesting I have officially become a guest at the Loud House what an interesting start to an adventure. This is going to be a long mission." An annoyed look has formed on his face then he refocuses back at the item in his hands.
"I wonder what's inside this package?" Rey wondered what Claire had given him upon opened the package to find out that it contained five mangas.
"Wow I really didn't expect these two volumes of my dress up Darling and three volumes of Rosario Vampire!" Rey exclaimed excitedly as he looked over the items in his possession.
"Looks like I have a manga series to add to my throwback Thursday reading list and Kaori and Meni can continue the story of my dress-up darling," Rey said happily as he put these items in his backpack before heading into the house.
And done wow I apologize for the delay for this chapter I wanted to do this earlier during the month of October and December but lots of drama happened in my life and I had a hard time trying to come up with ideas for this chapter.
Not to mention certain video game releases got me distracted for example Elden ring Pokemon Scarlet and Sonic frontiers.
But I digress I will admit this chapter probably wasn't the best y'all probably find it boring, and I hope this doesn't deter anyone for reading this story but I promise y'all it will get better.
Anyways let me what y'all think about this chapter and don't be afraid to leave a comment or review on the story I like everyone to be honest with me what they thought and if you think there is some things I should have changed or fixed just let me know.
Until then look forward to seeing y'all on the next chapter.
Have a wonderful day y'all.
