Chapter 5: Start Of The Pokedex

Chapter 5: Start of the Pokedex

Masterlist

3rd POV...

Location: Jubilife Village

“Hey look over at that lady,” Deuce grabbed Ace’s attention. They both looked over at a lady who was muttering to herself. They looked back at each other and walked towards the lady. 

“Um… excuse me Miss,” Ace greeted.

“Hello, You’re those newcomers who fell from the sky,” the lady had looked at Ace and Deuce in shock that they had talked to her. “I’m Marli. Are you heading outside the village?”

“Yep we are,” Deuce answered.

“Of course you are,” Marli giggled. “The Survey Corps must have to get out and about to compile that ‘Pokedex’ book they’re working on, right? Well, on your way, kindly do me a favor: find out all about Starly! Pokemon certainly are terrifying creatures… But when I see Starly, I feel simply… whole! Not that I have the least desire to actually TOUCH one, mind you. Please let me see Starly’s entry in that Pokedex the moment you’ve completed it!”

“Starly,” Deuce whispered to Ace as they walked away from the lady. “That’s Cater’s Pokemon.”

“We got this request in the bag,” Ace grinned. 

“Hey, Ace, Deuce, what are you guys whispering about?” The duo turned around to see Epel and Jack walking up to them. 

“We had talked to Marli⎼over there⎼and she requested that we show her a completed Pokedex entry for Starly,” Deuce answered Epel.

“We had just taken a request from the guard named Beauregard in front of headquarters to bring him a Wurmple,” Jack said.

“What if taking people’s requests can help us complete the Pokedex,” Ace wondered out loud.

“Well let’s complete these two requests to figure it out,” Epel suggested. 

“I’ll go catch up to Cater since his Pokemon partner is Starly,” Deuce stated and went ahead of the three to talk to Cater.

“So far this place doesn’t seem too bad,” Epel smiles.

“Yep, but I do miss being able to contact my mom,” Deuce frowns. “I tried to contact her since I got up this morning but nothing goes through.”

“Yeah, I haven’t been able to contact any family either,” Epel sighed.

“Maybe our phone services are just blocked in this world,” Jack suggested. “But I think we should worry about the Pokedex for now instead of trying to contact people from our world.”

“Hey, looks like everyone is stopped at the gate,” Deuce pointed out. “Let’s see what’s going on.” The three of them walked up to the rest of the group that was waiting for them.

“Alright, seems like everyone is here,” Riddle stated. “Let’s go out and complete that Pokedex!” Everyone gave words of agreement and they made their way out of the gate.

……

Location: Obsidian Fieldlands

“Righto. Let’s get to it, then, shall we,” Laventon asked. “In order to complete this Pokedex of ours, there are a great many research tasks I’ll need your help to carry out. The details of these tasks can be found in the Pokedex for you to reference anytime. You must catch and battle diverse Pokemon species and carry out plenty of research tasks. Do so, and you’ll gain research points and other rewards for your work!”

“One last piece of advice,” Akari says. “If you see a wild Pokemon’s attack coming your way… dodge like your life depends on it!”

“Dodge,” Kalim questioned, he had slightly tilted his head.

“Here⎼watch closely, and remember what I do so you can do it later,” Akari demonstrates how to dodge. “That beautiful, flowing bit of gymnastics is what we call a dodge! If you’re light on your feet, you can dodge out of the way of wild Pokemon’s attacks. That way, hopefully you can avoid taking a beating and blacking out in the wilderness. The Security Corps had to collect me when I…got the business end of some Shinx’s Thunder Shock. But don’t you worry! I’ve got lots of experience to draw on, and I’ll teach you plenty!” Akari runs off. The group decided to follow Akari down the hill.

“Now, let me share some Survey Corps wisdom,” Akari smiles. “Open the Pokedex and you’ll see what tasks you have for that Pokemon. You might’ve noticed that you have a research task to do with how many Bidoof you’ve caught. That’s right⎼catching just one isn’t enough. You need two, then four…then more and more!”

“I wanna try to battle the Bidoof,” Jack stated. Leona gave Jack a nod of agreement and Jack went to battle the Bidoof that was in the path. Jack had pulled out the PokeBall that Epel gave him that carried the Shinx and threw it at the wild Bidoof.

“Shinx use Quick Attack,” Jack commanded and Shinx used Quick Attack. The wild Bidoof had taken some damage. The wild Bidoof used Rollout and Jack’s Shinx took some damage. Jack had his Shinx use Quick Attack again and the wild Bidoof had fainted. 

“Good job Jack,” Epel complimented. Jack sheepishly smiled as he held Shinx’s PokeBall. 

“Let’s continue down the path,” Riddle calls out from farther down the path. Everyone else goes to catch up to Riddle. They spot Akari a bit up the path and walk over to her.

“I think you’ve got it, but as a reminder: don’t forget to open your Pokedex when you focus on a Pokemon to check your research tasks for it,” Akari advised. “Try checking your tasks for Starly next. One of your tasks is to catch Starly without being spotted, right? For that task, try catching them while hiding in some tall grass. I’ll go wait for you up ahead. Come catch up once you’ve finished some tasks.” Akari runs off.

“Let’s check out the Pokedex,” Lilia suggested. Everyone pulled out their phone to check the Pokedex. 

“Hey why are the tasks darkened out,” Kalim questioned.

“Maybe we shouldn’t worry about that for now,” Jade said. “Let’s see what else Akari has to say.” 

“So where did she go,” Ruggie asked, looking around.

“Let’s go down by the wild Shinx, we might be able to see her there,” Silver suggested.

“Good thinking,” Malleus complimented. The group heads down the path. They spot Akari a bit off the path and make their way towards her.

“This area is called Horseshoe Plains,” Akari explained as she faced the group. “The last area was Aspiration Hill. Each section of Obsidian Fieldlands has different Pokemon within them. Some Pokemon travel and reside in more than one area. Around here, you can find a Pokemon called Buizel. It’s got an aggressive disposition. That means it’ll try to hit you with its moves, just like Shinx, and you’ll need to battle it to catch it. And speaking of which, your research tasks for Buizel include seeing it use a certain move. To be precise, you have to see it use the move in battle. That’s right⎼some tasks require battling! Now, I’ll go on ahead. You take care of some of Buizel’s research tasks, then come talk to me.”

“Cater,” Riddle gets Cater’s attention after Akari runs off again. “I want you to battle the Buizel so I can catch it.”

“Alright, let’s do it,” Cater agrees. Riddle goes up to Kalim to receive a PokeBall from him, and he and Cater approach the wild Buizel. The wild Buizel notices the duo and gets ready to attack, before it has a chance, Cater throws his PokeBall containing Starly at it, and a battle is started. The wild Buizel immediately goes in for a Quick Attack and Cater’s Starly takes some damage.

“Star, use Gust,” Cater called out. His Starly used Gust and the wild Buizel took some damage. The wild Buizel looked around but didn’t attack.

“Let’s do that one more time,” Riddle says and Cater agrees.

“Alright, let’s use Gust again,” Cater commands. His Starly used Gust again and the wild Buizel took damage. The wild Buizel used Quick Attack and damaged the Starly.

“The health bar is in the yellow,” Ortho comes over. “Riddle, you can try to catch the Buizel now.”

“Thanks,” Riddle thanked Ortho and proceeded to throw the PokeBall. The wild Buizel went into the PokeBall and after a few seconds, the Buizel was successfully caught.

“Hey, we just got a notification on our phone’s that a research task for Buizel was completed,” Rook exclaimed. “Looks like we all share the same Pokedex.”

“That makes completing the Pokedex easier since we are able to split up,” Azul stated.

“I wouldn’t advise splitting up till all of us have at least one Pokemon of our own,” Lilia said, then added: “Just to be on the safe side.”

“I agree with Lilia,” Vil joined the conversation. “We must all be prepared in case the Pokemon decide to attack us.” 

“Let’s continue on,” Leona walks on ahead of the group. “ Let’s see what else we can get. Also it seems that there are plants we can use for crafting that we can pick up.” The group continues to walk and comes across a group of Ponyta.

“Kalim, can you pass me a PokeBall,” Silver asked. Kalim agreed and handed Silver 3 PokeBalls. Silver quietly approached a straggling Ponyta and threw a PokeBall at it. The wild Ponyta went inside the PokeBall and the ball moved three times before the Ponyta appeared to be caught.

“You seemed to really focus on getting that Ponyta,” Sebek commented.

“They look like horses with fire manes and tails,” Epel observed. “That’s so cool.” 

“I thought it would be a good Pokemon to have,” Silver shrugged.

“We should train some of the Pokemon we catch,” Ortho suggested.

“Hey, Ace, Sebek,” Cater called out to them. “Check out these four Pokemon.” Ace and Sebek looked at the small creatures that seemed to be playing with each other. 

Jade approached the group: “How about catching them?”

“We don’t have PokeBalls,” Ace said. Jade had pulled out four PokeBalls from his satchel and handed one PokeBall to Ace, Sebek, and Cater. They took the PokeBalls from Jade and through them at the four Pokemon. The boys looked at the PokeBall in anticipation and at the last possible moment the Pokemon were caught. 

“Catching these Pokemon are stressful,” Cater sighed.

“Especially with the chance of the Pokemon breaking out of the PokeBall,” Jade added.

“I forgot about that,” Ace shook his head, then remembered something. “Hey Cater, can you train up your Starly? There was a lady who requested a completed entry for Starly.”

“So just do the research tasks for it,” Cater questions.

“Yeah, pretty much,” Ace responds. Cater nods in understanding. 

“Wait, you said a lady requested it,” Jade asked. Ace hummed in agreement. “Maybe taking requests can also help us with completing the Pokedex.”

“For sure,” Ace agreed. “Epel and Jack also took a request to catch a Wurmple and bring it back to the person.”

“Let’s train the Pokemon a bit more before leaving Horseshoe Plains,” Jade suggested. The small group agreed and went to rejoin the main group.

……

“Yeah, it’s like they are in danger,” Yuu spoke on the phone. They were currently speaking to Crowley. “I’m having, like, these visions, similar to the dreams I had while there in Twisted Wonderland.”

 “What kind of dreams did you have here,” Crowley asked, surprised with the new information Yuu was giving him.

“They were dreams of the Great Seven,” Yuu said, thinking back at the weird dreams they had back in Twisted Wonderland. “They happen when I interacted with new dorms, and I kinda knew when someone from the dorm was gonna overblot.”

“Why didn’t you say anything then,” Crowley voiced his filled disappointment.

“You wouldn’t even have listened,” Yuu sighed. “You always seemed too busy to do your own job, or even find me a way back home. Like so many things have happened under your watch and you did nothing! The only time you did something was when the reputation of the school, like now because some of the students are in another world.”

“I was very gracious while you were here,” Crowley tries to defend himself. “With these new circumstances, it would be best to get Grim and the students back here.”

“Ummm… I don’t think Grim would want to return,” Yuu frowned. “He seems very happy here, and hasn’t even got into trouble.”

“That’s very interesting,” Crowley hummed. “I think it’s time the call ended. I still have plenty of work to do.”

“Alright, Crowley,” Yuu said. “We’ll talk again next week.” Crowley and Yuu said ‘goodbye’ to each other and the call ended. Yuu set their phone down on their desk and looked down at their sketchbook. Yuu had drawn a sketch of a creature made from rocks with axes for hands. They wondered what was gonna happen to their friends.

Masterlist

3rd POV...

“So you’re telling me that they all went through the mirror,” Yuu exclaimed into their phone. The phone that they were using⎼ courtesy of Crowley⎼ was able to take calls and messages in their world from Twisted Wonderland.

“That is precisely what I said,” Crowley huffed. He was not happy about twenty-two of his students disappearing. “Do you know if they are with you or somewhere in your world?”

“No I don’t,” Yuu sighed. “The only one with me is Grim. If the others were here, they would have made their presence known. By now Cater and Vil would be all over social media if they were here.”

“I guess I’ll have to continue my search then,” the disappointment in Crowley’s voice is prominent. “But will you let me know if they do show up in your world? There is a possibility that they are stuck in between worlds at this time.”

“That would make sense,” Yuu agrees. Yuu gets their name called by their friend and says ‘goodbye’ to Crowley as they hang up.

…… 

“So this village,” Azul breaks the silence that was around the group as they head to Jubilife Village. “What’s in it?”

“Jubilife Village, is the center of the operations for the Galaxy Expedition Team. What they do is study the Pokemon that live in this region,” Laventon explains. “For you all to seek out all Pokemon, it would be best to join the Survey Corps. They carry out the research on how Pokemon live out in the wild. In the Village, there are a number of people who do various things. Some are farmers, some can help train up Pokemon moves, some are traders, and others can give out requests for you to get more experience or items.”

“That’s really good to know,” Riddle commented. The group came to a stop once they hit a huge wooden gate with guards on each side. 

“Hello, I am back,” Laventon greeted the guards. The guards look at Laventon and the group. “Ah, with their help I was able to recapture the runaway Pokemon, so I hope you’ll forgive me for bringing them into the village for a bit!” The guards okayed it and the gate opened. Laventon and the group walked through the gate opening. The group looked around at the village.

“It’s kinda old-timey but I guess it’s not too bad,” Vil observes.

“This place is only temporary to use until we find a way back,” Malleus states. 

“This way, if you please,” Laventon instructs and begins walking further into the village. The group follows still looking around their surroundings and the locals check them out.

“Their outfits are quite strange.”

“Do you see the one with the horns?”

“What are outsiders doing here?!”

“We should keep our distance to be safe.”

“Maybe they’re new members of the Survey Corps.”

“Who’s that with the professor?”

“Oh botheration!” Laventon exclaims as he stops in front of a bridge. On the other side of the bridge was a building that was more complex and fancier than the buildings that the group had just passed. “I’d almost forgotten! I need to go and report that we successfully recovered the escaped Pokemon! Might I ask you all to wait for me at the canteen? I should be no longer than 10 minutes. It’s the building past this bridge here, then to the left. The Wallflower is its name.”

“I don’t think this guy is good at his job,” Jade smirks. 

“We should head to The Wallflower,” Trey suggests and starts to walk to the bridge. The rest silently agree and also make their way to the bridge to cross.

“Data unlocked: Map of Jubilife Village,” Ortho reported.

“Ortho, do you think you could send the map to everyone’s phone,” Idia asked. “Well the ones that have their phone on them.”

“I can do that,” Ortho confirmed as he sent the map to everyone’s phone.

“This is useful in case any one gets separated,” Trey smiles.

“Well aren’t you all awfully suspicious,” says a guy who was in front of The Wallflower. “The Wallflower’s for Galaxy Team folk only. We don’t have seats for outsiders. Move along!”

“Huh,” Ruggie exclaimed. “We were told to come here and were promised food!”

“Sorry but can’t help you,” the guy grunted. “I suggest you get out of here though before I call the security corps.”

“Hey,” a voice from behind the group calls out. “Who are you? I’ve never seen anyone dressed like you all are. What if you were attacked by a Pokemon? You’d be minced meat in those flimsy clothes!”

“Huh,” the group was taken aback.

“If the guard let you guys through, you must have ties with someone in the village…” The voice was coming from a young girl. She was wearing a faded blue uniform paired with a red scarf and white bandana covering her hair.

“I wouldn’t say that we have ties with the man,” Jade whispered, Floyd heard him and silently cackled.

“We do know someone from here,” Rook smiled.

“Ah, perhaps you know Professor Laventon then,” the girl smiles. “He’s a scholar from a faraway place. His Pokemon do get away from him at times, though. It makes me a bit worried for him…”

“So it’s a common occurrence,” Malleus questioned.

“Yes, but I suppose I’m hardly one to talk⎼I’ve had some trouble with Pokemon myself,” the girl sighs. “I was hit by a Pokemon move called Thunder Shock not long ago and had to be bedridden for a bit. But the professor… well… I do wonder how long he’ll last.”

“Unfortunately it’s just as Akari says…” a voice comes up behind the girl. The group looks past the girl to see Laventon approach. “I’m a clumsy sort of fellow, to put it mildly!”

“Professor,” Akari exclaims in shock as she turns to face the professor. 

“But everything will be quite all right now,” Laventon says as he moves to be closer to the group. Cater and Trey take a moment to look at each other before Trey shakes his head. “You guys have agreed to help us with our Pokedex!”

“Excuse me?” Akari takes a glance at the group before turning her attention to the professor again. “You plan to appoint these guys to the Survey Corps?”

“What’s so wrong with helping out,” Ace frowned.

“You can’t just slap a badge on whoever you like without Captain Cyllene’s permission,” Akari ignored Ace’s comment.

“I’ll allow it,” a new voice states. A woman approaches the group. She has short blue hair, and is wearing similar attire to Akari. 

“Captain Cyllene,” Akari exclaims.

“Assuming the individuals can contribute to the Survey Corps, that is,” the woman adds. “I am the captain of the Galaxy Team’s Survey Corps. You may call me Cyllene. Professor Laventon has told me how you all helped secure his Pokemon when they slipped his control. And now it seems he would like us to feed and house you in exchange for your ongoing labor. Looking at you all, you seem to be around the same age. A group of young adults… A good age to work for your keep, and to keep the village lively enough. But we can’t simply take on strangers who wander in among us, without any idea of their skills or origins.”

“We do know where we⎼” Leona puts a hand over Deuce’s mouth to keep him from finishing his sentence.

“We can’t let them know that we are from Twisted Wonderland,” Leona whisper’s to Deuce. “We need to obtain information, not give it out.”

“Right, sorry,” Deuce apologizes when Leona releases him.

“Tomorrow we shall see if you can prove yourself worthy,” Cyllene continues as if she didn’t hear Deuce.

“A most reasonable decision, Captain,” Laventon praises. “Now, would you care to join us for a meal? I’m sure you’ve got plenty of questions for our visitors!”

“That’s quite alright,” Cyllene declines the invitation. “I prefer to eat alone so I might appreciate my meals without distractions.” Cyllene walks into The Wallflower to get her meal.

“Aloof as always, I see,” Laventon watches Cyllene’s departure. Laventon turns back to the group. “Well, no matter! The rest of us can share a meal and some pleasant conversation, then. Beni, old chum! The usual potato mochi, if you please⎼but make it for twenty-four today!”

“Do they not have meat,” Leona growls as they enter The Wallflower.

“Now’s not the time to be picky,” Ruggie sighs. Once everyone is in the Wallflower, they break into groups. The dorm leaders sit with Laventon and Akari. The first years sit at the table next to them. On the other side of the dorm leader’s table sat Silver, Ruggie, Rook, and Lilia. The rest of the group: Jade, Floyd, Trey, Cater, and Jamil took seats at a table behind the dorm leader’s table.

“Wonderful stuff, Beni,” Laventon complimented as Beni brought out. “Much obliged. Your potato mochi never fails to please!” Beni placed all the food on the four tables, nodded his head in acknowledgement to Laventon’s compliment and left.

“Professor Laventon, where exactly did you meet our… visitors here,” Akari asked. She was seated right next to Laventon. Leona was sitting right in front of Akari and was looking at the food curiously.

“It’s just food Leona,” Vil commented from the other side of Riddle. Riddle was in between Leona and Vil, peacefully eating the food.

“I didn’t ask for your opinion, Vil,” Leona sneered, he then made himself a plate and started eating.

“Ah, well, you know of that great hole in the sky? The one people call the space-time rift? Our new friends fell right out of it,” Laventon explained.

“You can’t be serious,” Akari side-eyed Laventon. Laventon nodded his head in confirmation.

“Come now⎼I am a scientist,” Laventon tried to defend himself. “My job is to observe and explain any and all phenomena. I concern myself only with facts! Now, you already know there are many Pokemon here in the Hisui region…”

“That there are⎼in the grass, in forests, by water, or wherever they like,” Akari adds. “Our job as the Survey Corps is to research them and find out what kind of creatures they are!”

“Well, we know this much…” Laventon pauses for dramatic effect. “Pokemon are terrifying creatures!”

“I doubt they are that terrifying,” Azul interrupted. He was seated right beside Vil with Idia on Azul’s other side.

“It’s all but impossible to know what kinds of powers they might possess or what sorts of wondrous things they can do!” Laventon carried on. “But that’s where our new friends come in! They successfully caught three Pokemon! Three of them in quick order, you understand!” 

“It wasn’t that big of a deal,” Idia muttered as he ate his food. Across from him sat Kalim. Next to Kalim was Malleus, then the ‘Professor’ and Akari.

“Nobody in the Galaxy Team is capable of a feat such as that,” Laventon continued. “This means we can finally begin our Pokemon research in earnest!”

“Man, this place seems kind of pathetic,” Ace comments from the table he was sitting at. He was at one end of the table with Deuce on the other end and Epel in the middle of them. Across from them Jack sat in front of Ace, Sebek in front of Epel, and Ortho in front of Deuce.

“If these beasts called Pokemon are as fear inducing as Laventon says then I must protect Wakasama from them,” Sebek exclaimed mid-chew. Lilia sighed from the table on the other side of the dorm leaders. Lilia sat next to Rook, and across from Ruggie. Silver was seated next to Ruggie.

“I certainly can’t wait to meet more of these Pokemon,” Rook smirked. Ruggie tried to ignore Rook out of his own discomfort and focused on his food.

“Three?! We have a hard enough time catching even one when wild Pokemon come after us…” Akari states in disbelief.

“Ah, well, to be perfectly fair, the Pokemon that fled to the beach weren’t on the attack,” Laventon admitted. “But the key to catching Pokemon is getting close enough to aim your Poke Ball well. And it seems our new friends are fearless enough to do just that!”

“Does the Survey Corps really have the leeway to be enjoying a leisurely meal with these outsiders,” Beni’s voice came over the conversation as he approached the seated group. “Your captain just ordered 10 whole portions of potato mochi, you know. The slow progress on that Pokedex of yours clearly has her on edge.”

“I’m sure we’ll start to rein in the good captain’s stress eating soon enough,” Laventon smiled with confidence. “Now have your fill, new friends. And think, if you make it into the Galaxy Team, you’ll never have to worry about a meal again. The team provides for all its members’ needs⎼ even if said members fell out of the sky!”

After that statement, Beni went back to the kitchen area, not bothering the group for the rest of the meal. The group was having small conversations about what was to become of them in the future by being in this world. Some questioned if time back in Twisted Wonderland was still moving forward, some worried about their families, some questioned if Crowley even noticed their disappearance, and some wondered how Yuu was doing and where Grim was. Soon the meal was finished and they brought their dishes to Beni and left The Wallflower.

“That was quite delicious! Quite delicious indeed,” Laventon praised as the group stood outside. The sun had gone down and it was now early night.

“Yes, the food was lovely,” Akari agreed with Laventon. “But more importantly… you do remember that these guys have a trial to pass to join the Survey Corps, don’t you?”

“Not to worry! I have complete confidence in their skills,” Laventon waved off Akari’s concerns for tomorrow’s trial.

“Let’s hope it is not misplaced,” Cyllene approached the group. “Newcomers, for tonight, at least, we will provide you with a place to sleep. You may use a few of our quarters over there. But if you fail to pass the trial we have you do tomorrow, you must move on. You will be expelled from the village to meet you fate⎼and perhaps even your death⎼in the wilds.”

“Captain Cyllene is somewhat like Hisui, in that they’re both quite harsh,” Akari says once Cyllene was out of ear shot.

“Now now, she simply puts on a stern front to help keep us all safe,” Laventon reprimanded Akari. “At any rate, I think it’s time we turned in for the night, eh? It’s a good thing one can’t call out of the futons we sleep in here⎼I imagine our new friends have had enough falling for one day! And with that, I bid you both a good night!”

“Yes, good night,” Akari wishes the group ‘good night’ and leaves to catch up with Laventon. Rook, the beastmen, and the faes catch Akari mumbling to herself: “A rift in the sky… People falling from it… The world is full of mysteries.”

“Alright, how should we separate into groups for the night,” Trey breaks the brief silence. 

“I think we should do it by dorm,” Vil suggested. 

“How about we pick our own groups,” Leona countered, not wanting to be with his dorm mates. The group separated into different smaller groups and went into their temporary quarters for the night.

Chapter 6: Looking for Wurmple pt. 1

Masterlist

3rd POV...

Location: Obsidian Fieldlands → Horseshoe Plains

“Hey, look at those puppies,” Kalim squeals in excitement.

“They do look cute,” Epel observes.

“I’m gonna go catch one,” Kalim says. He pulls out a PokeBall and approaches the pack of dog-like Pokemon. He throws the PokeBall at one of the Pokemon and it does inside of the PokeBall. This gets the attention of the other Pokemon. The dog-like Pokemon was caught and Kalim went to pick up the PokeBall.

“Kalim, wait,” Epel tried to stop Kalim from getting the PokeBall. This gets the attention of Jamil and he sees Kalim and Epel being surrounded by Pokemon.

“It’s a little early for this,” Jamil sighs. Vil turns to look at the scene and deadpans.

“Hold on, Monsieur Multi,” Rook says. “Just look at what the Pokemon do.” The group observes one of the Pokemon place its front paws on Kalims pants and he squats down. The Pokemon gets excited and tries to pounce on him.

“These Pokemon are friendly,” Kalim exclaims.

“What kind of Pokemon are they,” Floyd asked, going over to where Kalim and Epel were.

“It is called Lillipup,” Kalim looked at his phone. He grabs one of the wild Lillipups and poses for a picture.

“We should go find Akari,” Riddle states. “I feel like she is able to give us more information.”

“We might also be able to get some items with her as well,” Idia points out. The group leaves the Lillipups behind and searches for Akari. They were able to find her standing near a rock.

“You’re all really doing quite well for yourselves,” Akari smiles as she sees the group, her eyes move over to Kalim as he holds his Lillipup in his arms. “Here! A little reward for keeping up with me: your own Crafting Kit!” Akari hands Ortho the kit.

“Downloading new software to phones,” Ortho says. “ Reading File: Crafting Kit… A kit containing everything you might need for crafting, even when there is no workbench around. However, you can only use the materials you have in your satchel.”

“And here’s a recipe for Potions, too,” Akari hands Ortho a recipe.

“Reading file: Potion Recipe… A recipe for crafting Potions from scratch. Required materials: 1 Oran Berry and 1 Medicinal Leek,” Ortho reads the new recipe.

“With a Crafting Kit, you can craft items anywhere using any materials you have in your satchel,” Akari explains. “So long as you’ve got an Apricorn and a Tumblestone, you can make a PokeBall anytime. Or with an Oran Berry and a Medicinal Leek, you can make a Potion. So do heal your Pokemon.”

“Thank you so much for this,” Deuce thanks Akari. “We will take good care of the Pokemon with these.”

“How goes your research,” Akari questions. “Please report back to Professor Laventon once you’ve got some research tasks good and done.” Akari walks away from the group.

“We should go see if there are other Pokemon in the area to battle and catch,” Vil suggests.

“Yeah, we also need to complete two requests,” Jack adds.

“What are the requests,” Malleus questions.

“One is to catch a Wurmple to give a guard and the other is to complete Starly’s Pokedex entry,” Epel answers.

“So we just need to find a Wurmple,” Azul says, thinking about something.

“I believe I saw some a bit earlier on our way over here,” Ortho comments. “The quickest way to complete Starly’s Pokedex is to catch a few more and evolve it.”

“I can fight some Bidoofs and Shinx to get it stronger to evolve,” Cater suggests.

“I can come with you,” Kalim offers and Cater nods his head to accept. 

“Alright that’s fine,” Riddle says. “Those who have Pokemon should be battling and catching Pokemon.”

“I’ll come with you two,” Jamil tells Cater and Kalim.

“Don’t go too far Northeast,” Lilia warns. “There was a very large Ponyta like Pokemon and I imagine that it is very strong.”

“Got it,” Cater smiles. The trio leaves the group.

“Let’s go find a Wurmple and other Pokemon,” Ace slings his arm around Deuce and the group goes the opposite way of the trio.

……

“So we just have to battle Pokemon,” Kalim questions, unsure of what he signed up for. “I don’t want to hurt them though, they all look so cute.” 

“I don’t think we kill them or anything,” Jamil says. “They just kinda disappear after their health is gone.” 

“It’s very strange,” Cater comments. “But we can also get a bunch of pictures with them as well. Hey, Kalim, don’t forget to have your Pokemon shake down trees and collect objects on the ground.” 

“What kind of trees do we shake down,” Kalim asks. “I wasn’t really paying attention.” 

“It’s the trees with the berries on them, it’s hard to miss,” Jamil answers. “I should also focus on getting myself a Pokemon.” 

“I think I just found one for you,” Cater says. He was a bit away from Jamil and Kalim dodging a small black bird with some red on it. “I keep trying to battle it but I don’t have an opening to grab a PokeBall to release one of my Pokemon.” 

“Let me battle it,” Kalim says as he grabs his new Pokemon’s PokeBall. The bird Pokemon dives at Cater one more time before Kalim throws his PokeBall at it. Kalim’s Lillipup is released and a battle starts.

“Oh, thanks the Sevens,” Cater pants while resting on the ground. “I don’t want to know what would happen if the Pokemon actually hit me.” 

“Rajin, use Tackle,” Kalim instructs his Lillipup. 

“Didn’t Riddle say to not nickname Pokemon,” Jamil sighs as he watches Kalim battle. The bird Pokemon used Growl. 

“What did that move just do,” Cater questions. 

“It lowered Rajin’s attack,” Kalim responds as his Lillipup uses Tackle again. 

“Do you have a move like that you could use,” Jamil asks Kalim. The wild Pokemon uses Peck. 

“Rajin has a move called Leer,” Kalim answers. He instructs his Lillipup to use Leer and the wild Pokemon’s defense fell. Kalim grabbed an empty PokeBall from his satchel to throw at the Pokemon. The Pokemon went into the PokeBall and the PokeBall rolled twice before the bird was caught. “Alright, it’s caught!” Kalim runs over to pick up the PokeBall and goes to hand it to Jamil.

“What Pokemon is it,” Cater asks as he gets up from the ground. 

“It’s a Taillow,” Jamil answers, looking at the Pokedex. “It doesn’t give much info after that.” 

“Maybe the way to unlock more information on it is to complete the research tasks,” Kalim suggests. 

“We won’t know till an entry is completed,” Jamil says. 

“Hey look, a group of Bidoofs,” Cater catches the duo’s attention. The group of Bidoof were a bit farther ahead of them, slightly to the right, playing in a small crater with water in it. “We could use them to get used to battling.” 

“Good idea, Cater,” Kalim immediately agrees. Jamil follows behind Cater and Kalim as they walk over to the group of Bidoof. Once the trio got close enough some of the Bidoof looked at them inquisitively. The trio each defeat 2 Bidoofs, and raise the level of their Pokemon. 

“Cater, look over there,” Jamil tells Cater. Cater looks behind him and sees a few Starlys by some trees. 

“Looking at the research tasks, we mostly need to catch some and battle some,” Cater looks at the Starly Pokedex research tasks. 

“Kalim and I will try to find some Starly away from this group to battle,” Jamil says. “Looking at my Pokemon, they do seem to have genders.” 

“Got it,” Cater nods his head in understanding. “Star is a female so I’m gonna try to catch a male.” 

“Good luck, Cater,” Kalim smiles as Jamil drags him away from Cater. Cater looks at the three PokeBalls Kalim had given him and takes a deep breath before approaching the group of Starly. He finds some leaves to hide behind as he waits for one of the Starly to get closer. A few seconds later a male Starly hops close to where Cater is hidden and Cater takes his chance to catch the Starly. He throws one of the PokeBalls and the Starly goes into it, a few seconds later it was caught.

Location: Floaro Gardens

“So any idea what a Wurmple looks like,” Ace asks the group. Riddle gives Ace a glare as Trey sighs. 

“I say we just go and catch all the Pokemon we see,” Floyd suggests. “Afterwards we can figure out which Pokemon is which.” 

“That’s a great idea if we had more PokeBalls,” Leona scoffs. “I’ve only got 20 on me and I doubt that the rest of you have any.” 

“We can gather materials to craft more,” Epel says. “We can craft them from anywhere now thanks to the Crafting Kit.” 

“Those who have Pokemon should focus on training and getting use to battling,” Riddle states. “Those who don’t have Pokemon should be looking for non-dangerous Pokemon to catch and collecting materials.” 

“We should split into smaller groups for that,” Trey says. “In case a Pokemon has a long range attack, we all won’t be huddled together.” The boys separated themselves into four groups. The groups were: Ace, Deuce, Epel, Sebek, and Jack; Riddle, Ruggie, Jade, and Floyd; Azul, Silver, Trey, Malleus, and Idia; and Leona, Vil, Rook, Ortho and Lilia. Riddle’s group and Leona’s group had chosen to stay in the open field of the Floaro Gardens, whereas the first years and Azul’s group chose to move further into the Gardens.

“Let’s start with getting everyone a Pokemon,” Riddle says as he looks at his group. 

“Agreed,” Jade nods his head. “But we should be cautious of how we use the PokeBalls, Leona only gave our group 2 after all.” 

“How about that small yellow Pokemon that’s over there,” Floyd gestures ahead of the group where a small mouse Pokemon was sleeping under a tree. 

“It’s really tiny,” Ruggie observes the sleeping Pokemon. “Can it even deal any damage?” 

“I don’t think you should undermine it,” Jade grins. “After all, the people of this world seem to deeply fear these creatures. Let’s just assume that every Pokemon is dangerous, this one probably is since it has no problem sleeping out in the open.” 

“I’m afraid to admit that Jade has a point,” Riddle sighs. “We don’t really know what Pokemon are capable of and we will have to be on guard in order to survive.” 

“So, are we gonna catch it,” Floyd questions, no longer interested in the conversation. 

“Here’s a PokeBall if you want to catch it so much,” Riddle hands Floyd a PokeBall. Floyd walks over to the sleeping Pokemon and it doesn’t stir. Floyd tosses the PokeBall at the Pokemon and the Pokemon goes into the ball. The group watches the PokeBall in anticipation to see if the Pokemon is gonna stay in the ball, after a few seconds the Pokemon was caught. Floyd goes to the PokeBall to pick it up. 

“What kind of Pokemon is it,” Ruggie asks Floyd.  

“I’m not interested in that,” Floyd says. “I wanna catch more Pokemon. That was fun.” 

“Looking at the Pokedex, it’s a Pichu,” Jade looks at his phone. “It’s an electric type Pokemon like Jack’s Shinx.” 

“So, different Pokemon have different typing,” Riddle hums in thought. 

“Let’s go collect some materials,” Ruggie grins. 

“Don’t you want a Pokemon as well,” Jade questions. 

“There are plenty of other areas to get a Pokemon from,” Ruggie states. “I’m okay with not having one from this area.” 

“Looking at the map, we have only been in three areas,” Riddle backs Ruggie up. “So Jade, Floyd, and I can just train our Pokemon and the group can collect materials.” 

“Sounds good to me,” Floyd grins. Jade also nods his head in agreement. 

……

“It’s that the Pokemon we are looking for,” Malleus points out a worm-like Pokemon. 

“That might be it,” Azul looks at the Pokemon. “We need to catch it to see if it meets the criteria.” 

“I can go catch it,” Silver volunteers. Azul hands him one of the three empty PokeBalls Leona had given the group. Silver cautiously walks towards the worm-like Pokemon. When he gets close, he crouches down to not draw attention to himself, he takes the PokeBall and tosses it at the Pokemon. The Pokemon went inside the PokeBall, and it moves around a few times before the Pokemon popped out of the PokeBall, leaving it broken, looking at Silver and running away. 

“What was that,” Trey questions, walking over to Silver. 

“I’m not quite sure,” Silver responds, picking up the broken PokeBall. 

“I, uh, remember someone saying that PokeBalls aren’t 100 percent foolproof,” Idia stutters his sentence out, he was standing beside Malleus. 

“So this may be a bit more challenging than we originally thought,” Azul hums in understanding. “I think we should gather some materials to make more PokeBalls.” 

“I would like to head back over to Horseshoe Plains,” Malleus states. “I saw a few Pokemon over there that we didn’t look at.” 

“That’s not a bad idea,” Trey agrees. “It’s a good place to train Pokemon.” 

“Hey, Azul,” Idia whispers over to Azul. Azul looks at Idia with a questioning look. “Can you give me a PokeBall?” 

“Sure,” Azul agrees. “But don’t waste it.” Azul hands Idia a PokeBall. Idia takes the PokeBall and quietly dashes off to the side of the group.

“I wonder what has Shroud so excited,” Malleus thinks out loud. 

“That’s excitement,” Trey questions. The group watches Idia approach a cat-like Pokemon and secretly throw the PokeBall at it. The Pokemon goes into the PokeBall and it moves for a bit. The Pokemon is caught and Idia rushes to collect the PokeBall, then rushes back to the group.

“What kind of Pokemon did you catch,” Silver questions.

Idia pulls out his phone to look at the Pokedex and says: “It’s called Skitty and it is very adorable.” 

“Alright,” Azul fixes his glasses. “Let’s head back over to Horseshoe Plains.” The group voices their agreement and they make their way back to Horseshoe Plains.
