The Story Continues:
The trip toward the forest was uneventful, until we reached a line of high grass and a wingull took a swipe at me… Lily sent it packing well enough, a shock I wasn’t expecting, but was grateful to receive… even more so when she started to shimmer and glow. I gasped. Oh my goodness, she was evolving.
A fountain of silk erupted from her mandibles, and ensconced her, wrapping her in the sticky, semi-poisonous material until only her eyes were visible. The small spikes where her spines rested along her body made it evident what she had become. “Awww man….” I couldn’t hide my disappointment, but I was still happy. Even if Lily wasn’t going to be my lovely beautifly, a dustox was still awesome, plus it was a poison type and I was A-okay with that. “Well, I guess that just means I get to catch me a beautifly instead. Or maybe a Silcoon… ooooh… I could catch you a boy, Lily, wouldn’t that be AWESOME?” I giggled and hugged the cacoon affectionately, and I could see her smiling, even through all the silk. “Okay… back into your ball, Lily… Lets get going again.”
The forest was pleasant… nothing really new. I found a few pokeballs laying around, and a couple bug-trappers ambushed me… nothing tough to deal with. It was when I came upon the scientist that I got a shock. Here I am, talking to this nice guy when some prick dressed in a devil get-up runs up and tries to steal the poor prof’s papers. I’m sure I looked terrifying, because the devil-dude was flinching even before I stomped over. Next thing he knew, he was curled up in the fetal position, trying to extract my foot from his crotch. “FUCK OFF, DEVIL-PRICK.” Never let it be said, I dont do my own damned fighting.
“B-bu-” He cut off as I lifted my foot again, and he scrambled away.
The scientist of course turned, smiling broadly at me, and offered an EXP. Share for what I’d done. I blinked. Holy crap people were giving me expensive stuff… “Oh… uh… thanks…” I mumbled, taking the gear and smiling at the scientist. “Ehehe… You should probably get going though… if I find a shroomish, I’ll let you have it, though, promise. I don’t need one.”
He nodded and ran off, and I dusted myself off before looking at Kito, who was staring at me again. “What? I’m not going to battle some dick thief… He might have tried stealing YOU…” The mudkip just grinned at me, or at least, I think he was smiling, and I leaned down to rumple his fin. “I love you guys too much to take that chance.”
Now that I thought about it…
Martial arts was still a thing…
People still practiced self defense….
So why is it, in all our popular media, the only “self-defense” tactic people have, is to throw a cute little animal at it?
Why would the hero of Kanto choose to put his pokemon in harm’s way, when he could just deck the thieves in the face and walk away. I stared at Kito as I thought about this, letting out a small hum.
“Kito… have you ever noticed the flaw in the world we live in? Human beings are the top of the food chain… We eat pokemon, we raise them as pets… we dominate the world… and yet we have you guys fight our battles for us… Why don’t we just solve our own damn problems?”
“Kii-kip, Mudkip, Kii.” He responded, bouncing around me in a circle and I smiled faintly. Yea… I figured he wouldn’t be able to answer that… Maybe I would, though, one day.
Regardless of my thoughts, I still had more to do, so I continued on through the forest, humming lightly, Kito running through the grass beside me, darting forward on occasion to roll around in random splotches of squishy mud.
I laughed, watching him, and considered, for a minute, letting the rest out of their balls, even if only for a short while. This would be a great place to do it. Sheltered, roomy… but I’d lose them in the trees…
A while of walking, a few pokemon battles, catching a Slakoth… that was rude enough to put poor Panny to sleep, I looked up. The sky was getting dark… May as well settle in for the night. I smiled at Kito, and returned him to his ball before setting up my sleeping bag a bit away from the path, and letting Panny out to cuddle up with. I snoozed for a short while, before a strange gurgling sound woke me. A Shroomish had wandered over and was stuck inside my backpack. I started at the little mushroom creature and gingerly lifted it free of it’s cloth prison.
IT was eating my granola bar. I stared at it for a long moment, before frowning. “YOU LITTLE JERK! PANNY!” The Zigzagoon seemed almost too eager, once she shook off the dew, bounding over to paw the mushroom into submission. I grumbled softly, remembering my promise to the Scientist earlier about catching a Shroomish for him… and tossed one of my rapidly dwindling supply of pokeballs. “I’ll call it Conni… And the Slakoth can be Louis… I bet he’d made a great blanket.” she snorts, grinning at Panny, who butted her head against my leg. “Yea… yea.. Let’s go back to sleep…” I mumbled, rubbing my eyes and stringing my backpack up more securely this time, hanging it in the tree above me before curling up with my Zigzagoon once more.
“Stupid fungus…”
The next morning came with a soft buzzing sound, somewhere in the trees, a nincaida sang, and I smiled. I sat up, ruffling Panny who opened one eye to peer at me, before licking her lips, rolling over onto her back and falling back asleep. I laughed, shaking my head and meandered over to the small pond nearby, stooping to at least try to clean up a little, before packing up camp and moving on, munching on what was left of my granola. “Stupid fungus.”
Making my way out of the dense undergrowth onto a proper road once more, I blinked bleerily up at the sun. Oh jeez… I must have really slept in if it was already nearly mid-day. Crap. I made my way up the path, stopping in front of what looked like a flowershop. They had berry plants out front, I… I could pick those, right? I padded forward, eyeing the plants, before, “I’ll go ask.”
The door opened with a soft jangle, and I poked my head inside. The girls scattered around the shop all looked alike… they must have been siblings or something, and I stepped inside. “H-hey? Are those berry plants outfront up for grabs?”
One of the girls looked up from her place and smiled, “Yes, they are, just remember to replant a berry…”
“Well of course, it would be a dick move to j-” I slapped a hand over my mouth, shit, there was a little kid right there. “Oooh my gosh, I’m so sorry, I totally didn’t see her…”
“Oh, i’s okay Miss. My sissy has a worse pottymouth than you! Her swearjar could put me through college.” The little girl chirped, and I saw her eldest sister flush bright pink.
I laughed, and the little girl handed me a bright pink berry. “Cause I see you’s got pokemon.” she said with a grin, and I took the berry, giving it a sniff. Oooh… it smelled spicy and sweet and all kinds of tasty… I wanted to eat it… but I knew I shouldn’t.
“Thank you very much.” A moment later, one of the older girls was pressing what appeared to be a watering pail into my hand, and I blinked, “Errr…”
“Well you can’t just replant them and leave them DRY. They won't grow that way.” She chided, and I had to admit, she was right. I probably looked stupid.
“A-ahh… okay. Well.. I’ll just…” I was running out of room in my bag… I’d have to reorganize it… I hooked the pail onto the bottom and headed out the door, waving to the sweet family… As i left, I heard a “CRASH” and a trail of cussing that would have made my father blush.
“Kid wasn’t kidding…”
