Pokemon The Force - Volume 4: A New Journey In Hoen Chapter 105 15: 24 Months Later

Time has passed 24 months to be more specific. Soul had got all of his Pokemon to at least lvl 90 with some intense training, the right food, and spar with each other.

Looking back at the spare time had Soul, recounted what he has done for the past months. He had been working his ass off to make his company one of the largest in the world.

He had gone to find the base of those who worked under Project S.L, but it was empty. He was confused by this and took out the Compass of Greed to which he found that they had moved to another region.

He also had been spending time with his family and Aqua, who also got into this world anime, and once every Friday, Soul, and Aqua would have anime night together with their Pokemon. They would always argue over which anime is best.

And finally, he has found out that all three of his friends have become a celebrity of their own.

Ashley became famous for her skills in Pokemon Food Fight with Ninetales as her partner. She was crowned as the best of her generation and many young peoples around her age sought after her, but she refused them all.

Opal has opened up a gym at Emblem City and became its new gym leader. The reason why she was so popular was because of how strong her gym was. It was rare for some trainers to win against her, as she kept getting challenged every day which made her and her Pokemon tried. So she made a rule, ‘Have at least 6 gym badges before you can challenge me.’

And last, but not least, Matthew. That guys have made a name for himself when he found an ancient tomb that dated whole the way back when Kanto human populace was small. Not only that, but he also has invented a new method to find fossils, which helped a lot of archaeologists, who had to spend a lot of time finding them.

As for Soul. People still talk about him, but not much as before. He became the richest person of his generation, not to mention the strongest as a trainer. There were no trainers who could beat his Kanto team yet, and very few could stand a chance against them. His inventions and products help Kanto with becoming one of the strongest regions, which made the other regions jealous.

Today was the last day before he would move on to his next journey at Hoen Region, which is one of his favorite regions in his opinion.

He said goodbye to all of his friends and family as he left Kanto Region as he rode on Latios, who have become stronger and more confident in his strength. Soul protected himself with a psychic barrier so he wouldn’t be sent flying away.

It didn’t take them a long time before Soul and Latios reached to Hoen Region, where he could already spot new Pokemon that he has never seen before in Kanto.

He arrived at Littleroot town where he wore a mask to hide his identity. Even though he may not be as popular as before, his face is still recognizable. He can’t get too careless.

Soul told Latios to land outside of the city where a forest could be seen. Landing there, Soul returned Latios to his Poke Ball after thanking him for the ride. Looking around the green forest filled with Pokemon, Soul couldn’t help but smile as he felt nostalgia.

Soul: ‘It been so long since I have started my first journey, I can’t wait to train some new Pokemon! But first I need to give this package that Professor gave me.’

Walking in the city, Soul looked around and try to find out where the lab was. After asking a few peoples for direction, Soul finally found where the lab is.

Walking through the doors, Soul saw Professor Birch, who was reading a few papers and didn’t expect anyone to be here today except for him and his assistant, who would come later on today.

So he was surprised when he saw the door opened, and a young man with a blue mask could be seen walking in with a package on his hands. Laying down on what he was reading he asked.

Birch: Hello there, who are you?

Soul: Hello, I’m just someone who is delivering this package to you for Professor Oak.

Birch: Ah, I see. Thank you very much, young man. Say. What is your plan after this?

Soul: Well, I have thought of staying here and participate in the League.

Hearing this, Professor Birch smiled as he told Soul to lay the package down at his desk and wait for him to come back. Soul didn’t know why Professor Birch asked him that, but listened and waited for him to come back.

After a while, Professor Birch could be seen coming with three Poke Balls on as he lay it on the table.

Birch: Well since you’re going to start your journey here in Hoen, I thought that you could use a Pokemon to protect you.

Somewhere else, all of the Soul’s Pokemon sneezed without knowing why except for Anubis, who looked offended by Birch’s comment.

Soul: Ah. Thank you very much

Looking at all of the three Poke Balls, Soul thought for a while before deciding that he would go with Torchic, the chick Pokemon.

Soul: Then I choose Torchic as my starter.

Birch: I see. Well then, here’s a Pokedex and some Poke Balls that you can use to capture Pokemon with.

He then explained to Soul what a Pokedex was, and how its work. Soul, who already knew all of it listened anyway. He didn’t want to be rude and interrupt a man who was just doing his job.

After finishing talking, Soul and Professor Birch said farewell to each other, as Soul left the lab and headed to a Pokemon Center to register for the Ever Grande Conference.

Birch: Hmm I feel like I have seen him before, but I can’t pinpoint where.
