System In Pokemon World! - Chapter 14

AN: Listening to ‘All I want for Christmas is you!’ by ‘against the current NY *Looks around at audience… “Don’t judge me! It’s a good song!”

Looking around I saw only darkness. I frowned as my skin shivered at the sudden lighting of 2 weird red orbs. No, they weren’t orbs. The darkness began retreating revealing a figure which was largely white and was a quadruped (walks on four) creature with a black-tone underbelly. What stood out the most was the round, wheel-like cross attached to its torso.

I swallowed nervously but regain some courage thinking about my pokemon. Reaching towards my side I grabbed my pokeballs and threw them out shouting “Beedrill use agility! Attack with Pin Missile from the back! Butterfree use psychic, sleep powder and string shot! Form a Sleeping Net! Pidgey fly below and strike using Wing Attack!”

They all obeyed my instructions doing as told surrounding Arceus in a 3 way attack. Arceus lifted its head and let out a roar. All the attacks shattered into oblivion. What was worse was the fact that single roar held so much power all my pokemon fell down from the sky.

Arceus stared at me and began gathering power in front of it. I gritted my teeth and shouted “Damn you!” It suddenly released an energy blast killing me.

My body shot up as I breathed heavily. Feeling myself I realized I was covered in sweat and it was only a nightmare. Misty woke up sleepily asking “What is it? Did you have a nightmare or something?” I grinned and said “No, why would I? Hehe, you think too much.” Misty g.r.o.a.n.e.d and said “Just go back to sleep already.” I nodded but stayed sitting up.

Morning came and I sighed as I got out off the sleeping bag and got ready to leave. Misty followed suit. Sadly we weren’t able to keep the previous speed where I ran and she just used her bike to go between places.

I was also not able to run as well as before due to the previous battle with Pidgey. At least we tried to speed up as much as possible. Misty began complaining about her bike and her feet hurting. It was understandable so I didn’t say anything about her complaints.

Finally we reached Cerulean City where my goal changed from challenging only the gym to beating all the trainers I could find in the city. All the trainers in the city suddenly felt a shiver run their back as if a hungry wolf was eyeing them.

Walking into the city Misty said “I got to go check on something. See you later Zane.” I nodded and said “See you later. I know the bike thing I know. I will get it to you soon enough.” She shouted “You better!” I sighed and decided to rest for the first day before hitting the training field and the pokemon trainers of the city.

Arriving at the Pokemon Center I handed my pokemon to Nurse Joy that said “Don’t worry. They are in good hands.” I nodded as I walked to the computers to call my family. Internally I was screaming ‘Finally! One that didn’t say anything! Wahaha! I win you evil Nurse Joys!’

Arriving at the computer I dialed a few numbers and a few seconds later my mom picked up. She smiled and said “You finally remembered to call back huh?” I chuckled and said “I couldn’t call before. I was on the road. How is Yin?” She shook her head and said “That girl. She has been in her room doing who knows what.”

I laughed and said “She is growing up. Sooner or later she will find a boy and get married.” Hearing the word married she asked with a teasing smile “What about you? When are you going to bring me a child home?” I grinned and said “Maybe when I’m 18 or so. Not sure, maybe 16. I don’t plan on bringing one though. I plan on getting many wives after all.”

She laughed and said “That is my boy! Make sure to treat them all well alright?” I nodded and said “I know already. Anyway, I called to tell you that I will be focusing on training for the next week or so which means I will be out of contact. Is there anything you need from Cerulean City?”

She tilted her head and said “Other than a wife for my son not really.” I shook my head not knowing what to say. Sighing I said “I will be working on it but you need to be patient. Anyway, my pokemon should be about ready so I will call you in a week or so.”

She nodded and said “Promise?” I put an awkward smile causing her to laugh and say “Alright fine. I will be waiting but make sure to start looking. Girls these days choose quicker and smarter.” I nodded and gave her a thumps up saying “Yes!”

Hanging the phone I went and picked up my pokemon. Nurse Joy simply said “Make sure to keep taking care of them.” I smiled and said “I will.” Entering the resting facilities the day passed with us relaxing for once. I released them to play around and be themselves.

It was also entertaining watching them have fun. They also played around with me sometimes with Butterfree playing with my hair and Beedrill just poking me causing me to laugh. Pidgey was still not fully comfortable with me so kept some distance.

I couldn’t expect them all to love me right away especially Pidgey who I captured more roughly than the others. I decided to spend some time tomorrow buying them some toys since it would be more fun for them like that. I didn’t want to bore them by keeping them in a room with nothing to do.

The next day I went shopping. My currently balance was only 11200 pokemon dollars. I had used a good portion on living and journey expenses. Now with my small shopping spree I had used another 3000 dollars for their toys.

They were quite happy about their new toys and I just tossed them into the Poke Space since I didn’t want to carry them but they were more than happy to play with them especially when 2 of them couldn’t freely come out in public.

That reminds me. Why was Misty not scared of Beedrill? Thinking back I realized she was. She kept a good 10 feet distance between each other at most times unless she was walking right next to me. It was kind of odd but whatever.

AN: AKA the author forgot and is making excuses to make it seem like he didn’t… Enjoy!

Fortunately she didn’t meet me when I had Caterpie and Weedle. I’m sure she would have run away before I could even approach her. Shaking my head from those useless thoughts I began my research. Honestly I needed to learn where trainers gathered and then gather information from trainers about other trainers and then battle them all.

With that in mind I set out to find the needed information. A full day passed and I acquired a few key words. Pokemon Arena, Roach and Building 2013 in the East of the city which was at the opposite side of the gym location.

I knew that the building was shady considering that I followed a trainer and practically threatened him to spill the beans. He spoke about the building out of fear. With that in mind I knew where to go except for the person called Roach. They gave very vague details but it was said that he knew every trainer in the city.

For now I will stick to the legal battle which involved the Pokemon Arena. With that in mind I returned to the pokemon center to make sure my pokemon were well rested. I needed to earn 40-50k dollars which meant battling around 80-100 trainers or 4-5 Gym Leaders.

I was definitely not resting because I was still hurting from before! Oh no! I’m not human right? I can’t feel pain! Let me just lie down a little though. I have been running for days after all. Yes, just lie down a bit.

Another day passed and I was ready to start the training especially for Pidgey. It was going to go through hell since it was already a high potential fellow. First I will hit the training field until 6 then challenge trainers from 6:30-8:00. Afterwards it would be time to rest for the rest of the day.

Cliff-kun: Our Zane has finally reached the city! What kind of troubles will he find himself in!? What kind of training will he give his pokemon!? When will he challenge the Gym!? Find out next time in System in Pokemon World!
