~??? POV~
It’s been two weeks since I arrived in the Kanto region. Besides going down to the lobby to eat, I have been staying in my room in the Pokecenter. The lackluster room is a far cry from what I am used to, but this is likely going to be my new normal. The past few months have been a constant downward spiral, all the way to rock bottom.
The seemingly grey walls make the room feel smaller than it is, and the lack of a window doesn’t help. I have lost track of ti as I let my thoughts tumble and spin like a Golem rolling down a hill. If it wasn’t for the feeling of sothing pushing towards the door sotis, I’m not sure if I would have rembered to eat.
Feeling that sa urge again, I slowly roll off the edge of the low bed, letting my knee touch the cold floor before slowly pulling myself up. I stand next to the bed, blankly staring at the -sized divot I just crawled out of. Again, I feel that slight pull towards the door behind as I slowly turn and trudge my way towards them. I slowly put on my trainers and my wallet before heading down again.
I slowly step out into the lobby and I notice that the sun is just starting to rise, the morning gloom seeming to reflect my mood. I turn my head away from the doors and move towards one of the tables in the eating lounge. As I move past the front desk, Nurse Joy looks up from her work on the computer and calls out to .
“Excuse , can I see your Trainer ID?”
“Eh? Ah, um sure…” I respond awkwardly, my voice sounding foreign to my ears. I open my wallet and slowly hand her the brand new Trainer ID. Officer Jenny had issued a new ID for to use as I left Unova, as there was no way for to get my old one, but I did not pay much attention.
“Thank you,” She says as she takes the ID from and starts typing in information on her computer. I wait for her with a blank look on my face, hardly noticing the slight furrow of her brows as she reads the information on screen. “Mr. Mous, I see that you have signed up for the Kanto league. However, it has been a month since the start of the league, and there are no recorded matches, gym challenges, or Pokemon captured. According to the rules from the League, you must have at least one gym badge within the first six weeks or else you will need to return to Unova.”
“Eh?” I blink and just stare at her owly. She doesn’t say anything, and the silence starts to move towards an awkward mont. I snap out of my shock and shake my head slightly. “B-but what if your Pokemon…” My voice trails off as I feel my eyes start to sting.
Nurse Joy’s face softens as she watches my reaction. “I am sorry for your loss,” she quietly tells , “we have a few Pokemon here that no longer have a trainer. You could see if any of them would like to travel with you as their partner.”
“I…” Just as I am about to turn down her offer, I feel that nudge again, only this ti it is towards the desk. I take a breath to steady myself before trying again. “I-I will take you up on that offer. T-thank you.”
“Please follow .” She says with a gentle smile on her face as she gets up from the desk. She calls out to a nearby Chansey to take over the desk as we move towards a door marked with ‘Employee’s Only’ on it. A mont later, she opens the door to show a room with multiple odd electronics arranged neatly by the walls. On one side, there are a few pokeballs sitting in one of the machines, as it lets out a soothing hum sound as it works. We keep walking, and shortly after, we enter another room.
I’m not sure what technology is in use here, but the room we entered could not have fit within the Pokecenter itself. The room is filled with lush trees and bushes, and my ears pick up the sound of a babbling river. Besides that, I also pick up the sound of multiple Pokemon cries as Nurse Joy enters the room. I take a quick glance around at the different Pokemon that show up.
There is a Pikachu with a missing ear, an Azumaril with a nasty gash across its belly, a Bisharp with a missing arm, and an Abra that has one eye, to na a few. Each and every Pokemon is hurt badly in so way, each of them missing sothing. When they notice , a few of the Pokemon back off towards the trees once more. Nurse Joy gives a small smile before motioning towards the different Pokemon and letting her hand rest on the head of the Azumaril.
“Each of these Pokemon has lost their trainers in so way, yet has not been adopted for various reasons. As much as I would dislike to say this, but if it were earlier in the season, there would be a better selection for you. Feel free to approach and see if any of them fit with you.”
Getting her permission, I slowly make my way towards the bigger group. A few more Pokemon back off as I get closer, but the bulk of them just seem to be watching . I spend the next few minutes with the different Pokemon, trying to see if any of them might be interested. Much to my dismay, most of them move away after a few seconds.
I let out a sad smile and look towards Nurse Joy, who gives a big smile in return. As I start to stand up, I feel a familiar tug which prompts to look around. I happen to look over my shoulder and find Pokemon with a nasty scar across one eye floating there.
“H-hello,” I call out to the floating Pokemon. It continues to float in front of , as if it is deciding my worth. I notice that it seems to look over my shoulder from ti to ti, possibly at Nurse Joy, but I’m not sure. “W-would you like to travel with ?” I managed to ask it after a long mont of inaction from the Pokemon.
“...Abra,” it responds after a few seconds of delay with a slight nod of its head.
*~*~*
The next hour flies by as I go through the process of adopting Abra from the Pokemon Center. Unlike wild-caught Pokemon or approved starters who can be freely caught or given to a budding trainer, adopting a Pokemon ans having to be responsible for any issue the Pokemon may cause. Like humans, Pokemon can be traumatized as well, which may cause them to act irrationally in so scenarios. I found out that Abra was saved by their previous trainer from a Team Rocket attack, but unfortunately lost their life in the process.
I step out of the Pokemon Center with a new pokeball on my belt. I still have Eevee’s pokeball as a nto for my beloved partner, and I will never get rid of it. My newest Pokemon needs to have so ti bonding with , and I need to get out of the room I have been hiding in. A warm breeze ruffles my hair as I head outside of the city.
I follow along the beach for a while, just taking the ti to enjoy the weather. I have almost forgotten how the warmth of the sun feels, but a day like this slowly starts to bring out of my slump. After a few minutes of walking, I co across a scenic area where waves break against the nearby cliff and you can vaguely see Cycling Road off in the distance. I spot a few trainers relaxing with their partners and enjoying the weather. I look for an empty area where I can let out Abra and find one near the tree line.
I pull Abra’s pokeball off the holster on my belt and try to figure out how to enlarge the pokeball. Besides the first ti that I got him, Eevee was never in a pokeball, so I’m not used to handling them. It takes a few seconds, but I figure out how to enlarge the pokeball, and I give it a slight underhand toss.
The ball lands on the ground a few feet away but doesn’t do anything. I sheepishly laugh as I pick up the ball again and try to figure out what I did wrong. In my fumbling, I seem to have pressed a button which causes Abra to appear in a flash of red light. I watch as the newly released Pokemon starts to float in the air and turn towards .
“Hey Abra, looks like it is just you and now. I hope we can get along,” I tell him as he finishes facing . I see his head turn away from slightly before looking back and nodding at . “Great! Now, I am a new trainer and I really don’t know much about how all this works… Hopefully we can figure it out together. Do you know any moves?” Abra nods at in response to my question. I ask if he knows anymore, and he motions that he knows a total of two moves.
“Can you show your first move?” I ask which prompts Abra to glow purple for a mont, and the next thing I know, I am looking at the trees instead of the ocean. I turn around and find Abra behind in the spot where I was just standing.
“That is aweso! Did we just trade places?” Abra nods in response. “Can you do that to anyone?” He shakes his head and points to . “Only ?” He shakes his head and points between the two of us. “Only friends?” He nods. Hmm… so a move that can switch places with a friendly target.
“What about your other move?” I watch as he starts to glow again and suddenly disappears, only to reappear a ter from where he started. “Is that Teleport?” He nods at in response. “Can you use it on others?” This ti he doesn’t respond right away, but eventually nods. “That's aweso! Can you try teleporting ? I want to see what it is like!” I ask in excitent. Even though none of his moves are attacks, they would keep the two of us safe. That is all that I currently care about.
I see him still for a mont as he processes my request before he glows purple again. I suddenly find myself staring at a clear blue sky, the sun just reaching its zenith, but I don’t feel any ground under . Wait… I don’t feel any ground! The next mont I let out a startled yelp as I suddenly start to fall but I quickly land on my butt, causing a burst of sand to fill the air.
Rubbing my sore butt from the sudden fall I take a look around to see where I am. I notice that this is a cove of so sort, but as I turn my head, I am suddenly greeted by a familiar pair of Goddesses. One of the Goddesses has fla-red hair and copper colored skin. She is currently topless, her dium sized tits fit her body perfectly, and only wearing a bottom that hardly hides anything. Just below her stomach, I notice a blue tattoo with so sort of bird Pokemon whose wings create a heart shape with a snowflake in the middle.
The other Goddess is her complete opposite in coloration. Her long white hair has blue streaks running through it. Though what draws my attention fully is the fact that she is completely naked. Her pure white skin does not have the slightest imperfection on it. My eyes trail over her perky tits, topped with pretty pale-pink tips, and across her toned stomach. It looks like she is completely hairless as I can clearly see the slit between her legs, which currently sparkles wetly in the sunlight. I finish my quick inspection of her as I take in her toned thighs and calves that I would love to have my head between.
“Eh? Um, ah… hi?” I feel my face grow extrely hot at the beautiful sight before as I try to break the awkwardness, only to make it even more so.
“Hiya! Where did you co from?” Asks the coppery goddess.
“Unova… I an Vermillion City. I just got a new Pokemon today and was testing its moves…” I respond as I see the copper goddess stop the white goddess from hiding her body with her hands. Suddenly, my mind realizes what I just said. “OH NO! ABRA!” Just as I go to stand up, my Abra appears in my lap, just to freeze when it notices the two goddesses.
“O-oh, so i-it was a mistake?” Asks the white goddess as she gives the other one a small glare.
“Y-yeah it was.”
The white-haired goddess lets out a long sigh as I watch her body suddenly relax before she speaks to again. “Accidents happen, are you alright?”
“Yeah, I think I am. It wasn’t that far of a fall.”
The two of them throw a smile which causes my fading blush to return. The copper goddess offers a hand which I take as she pulls to my feet. “I’m Flannery and this is Frost.” She says as she introduces themselves.
“Ah, where are my manners! I am Fae Mous, it is a pleasure to et you, ladies.” I respond to the introduction by giving a slight bow with my hand over my heart like my mother taught .
