@Jess Can't quote for some reason. Anyways, I usually have trouble with him when I have an advantage or 2 over him. But good job!

Lol. No. xD I usually can read people decently well though. And already did so. However, in this version it's a bit more happy than the original.

As I was getting closer to the Jasper Ward, I noticed it was getting late. Great. Now I gotta go face Team Meteor alone AND do it at nighttime. I was debating whether or not to do this the next time but I didn’t want to take the chance of something major happening while I slept. So I kept on going. I made it to the gate to the Jasper Ward. A police officer was there blocking the path. Matthew: Hey. Can I get through? Police Officer: State your name. Matthew: It’s Matthew. Police Officer: Ohh! It’s you! Florinia told me to let you in whenever you’d show up. I’ll gladly let you in. Matthew: Thanks. The police officer moved to the side. As I was walking up the stairs, he spoke again. Police Officer: I hope there’s a chance you can stop this mess at its source. Matthew: Just how bad is it in Jasper? Police Officer: You’ll see as soon as you get out of this little tunnel kid. And don’t even get me started with the Beryl Ward. That’s even worse. Matthew: What happened? Police Officer: Just like what was going on in Obsidia. Except you guys got to it in time. Jasper and Beryl… They didn’t get lucky. Matthew: Wow… I was getting scared. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But still. I had accepted to help here. Albeit, was somewhat forced into it but I did want to help. I just wish I didn’t had to do it alone. Police Officer: Listen. We didn’t have time to even evacuate the citizens from those wards. Some are still trapped there. I know you have a lot of stuff on your mind about all of this but… If you could, would you try to save them? Matthew: Of course I’ll try. Police Officer: Thank you. Best of luck to anything you can accomplish in this situation. I kept on walking up the steps, stepped out and saw the horrific scene. There were plants and vines everywhere. Some going through buildings. Hell. Some of the buildings were cut in half and knocked over. Only 1 building seemed to remain intact. As I was gonna go for the door of that place, I heard a voice coming from the corner of it. I walked over and saw a Team Meteor member. Matthew: Hey you! Team Meteor Grunt: Roger, standing by. Hold on, we have a suspicious person in the area! Matthew: You mean you? We both grabbed our PokeBalls and began the battle. It didn’t last long though. In a matter of seconds, I beat the grunt. But surprisingly, he didn’t leave. I didn’t know what else to do so I just left him there. I went inside the Police Station and sitting there behind a desk was the Police Chief. Matthew: Hello there sir. Police Chief: Greetings, young man. I am the Chief of the Reborn City Police Department. I looked around but realized that there were no officers in here. Was it really that bad here? Police Chief: While civilian affairs are of the highest importance to me, I’m afraid I cannot take any requests at this time. Matthew: Seems like you’ve sent the entire force out there. Police Chief: Well that’s not completely wrong. Our police force is already highly over-extended, and I’m afraid we can’t spare the man power at the moment. Matthew: That is troubling news. Police Chief: The worst part is that we have more turning up missing every day. Matthew: That’s even worse news! Police Chief: It is. I just don’t know what else to do. Just then, a police officer came in reporting for duty. I turned around and he must have recognized my face because he started freaking out. Police Officer: Oh my Arceus! It’s you! Matthew: Heeey. Weren’t you the police dude that was blocking the way to Obsidia? Police Officer: The very one. Florinia asked for you to go through. I’m glad she did. You stopped the destruction from happening at Obsidia Ward! Police Chief: Wait. You’re saying it was this person here? Matthew: Yea. Florinia and this other chick, Amaria, went to see what was going on about the plant life but it came down to just me and well I guess I did save Obsidia. Police Chief: Hmmm. Police Officer: Wait. Are you here to help out the Jasper Ward too?! Matthew: Well Florinia asked me to soooo… Police Chief: Young man, being that you are not officially enlisted, I cannot require you to act on any orders. However, I shall grant you a special permission permit for you to move freely about the area. Matthew: Really? Thanks! As I was about to leave, the Chief yelled out to me. Police Chief: Wait! I have 1 favor to ask of you. Matthew: Shoot. Police Chief: As I’ve told you, more police officers have been turning up missing. If you could find them or rescue them or whatever and have them be brought back here, that’d be much appreciated. Matthew: Well… Yea. I can do that. Do you have at least an estimated number of how many are lost/in danger? Police Chief: There are at least 5. Thank you for your help. I walked out of the building and looked up to the sky. Along with taking on Team Meteor alone and saving Jasper and Beryl Wards, I was now tasked with helping civilians and rescuing police officers. I wasn’t scared. I felt overwhelmed. But everyone was counting on me. So I kept on moving. I walked into some buildings and eventually found a PokeCenter. Good. Now I won’t have to travel far when I need to heal my Pokemon. I continued going through the torn down buildings and eventually found myself in front of a path going into some kind of forest. I saw a sign that was broken and covered in vines but I could make out most of it. It said “Malchous Forest.” I took a deep breath and walked the path. I soon started to see loads and loads of trees. It was actually a beautiful scene. Until I started to see the vines and more Meteor Grunts. That ruined the peaceful moment. I ran through the forest defeating all the Team Meteor Grunts. Then I finally found it. The PULSE Machine and it still had the same Tangrowth in it. I jumped down the ledge and hid behind the machine but apparently must have made too much noise because a voice called for me. ???: Hey. I knew you’d show up eventually. Come over here. I decided to listen and came out of my hiding location. I stood in front of the young man presented in front of me. He wasn’t wearing the usual Team Meteor uniform. Instead, he wore beige pants, a grayish-blue shirt and a red scarf around his neck. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days. Normally, I’d feel scared around a higher ranked member of Team Meteor. But I didn’t feel scared of this guy for some reason. ???: You came here because of this machine right? Matthew: Yea! And I won’t quit til I destroy it! ???: Hmph. He looked at me for a few seconds and then back at the Tanhrowth in the machine. I didn’t feel threatened. I looked at the machine as well. ??? It’s a real shame huh? Tangrowth’s caused a lot of damage. Both lives and homes have been lost. Matthew: Yea but I doubt it actually wanted to do that. Taka: True. My name’s Taka. What’s yours? Matthew: It’s Matthew. Why? Taka: Figured. So you’re the 1 who stopped the PULSE in Obsidia huh? Matthew: Well yea. Don’t think I’m just gonna walk away or anything though. Taka: I know… Tell me Matthew. How familiar with the PULSE Project are you? Matthew: Umm… Well I know it makes the Pokemon’s ability stronger. Taka: So the basics. Well it stands for Pokemon Ultimation Link-System Exaggerata… It morphs the Pokemon and strengthens its abilities. Matthew: So when it changes form… Taka: That’s right. Think of it like Mega Evolution. Except any old Pokemon can become super charged thanks to the PULSE. Matthew: That’s… That’s insane! Taka: Maybe. But all the destruction in the Jasper Ward is thanks to this machine right here. However, there is a drawback. Matthew: Yea? What’s that? Taka: Turns out destroying a whole city region is pretty hard on a Pokemon’s body. Matthew: Did you think it wouldn’t?! Taka: I’m not that foolish but… Part of me does want to just set this thing free. It’d be nice, wouldn’t it? Matthew: Then do it. Join the good side. You don’t even seem like you want to be part of the team. Taka: Hehehe. Ohh Matthew. If only it were that simple. Unfortunately, I have orders to follow right now. I am with Team Meteor after all. And 1 of my orders is to eliminate you. So please don’t take this personally alright? Matthew: I know there’s good in you somewhere Taka. But fine. Have it your way. You know, this will be my 1st time battling a higher up in Team Meteor and not needing my friend here. Taka: What do you mean? Matthew: Haha. Maybe you’ll meet him 1 day. Anyways, it’s time to battle! After the battle was over, I could see some of the plants and vines receding back down into the ground. I had saved the Jasper Ward from anymore destruction. I felt happy about it. I turned towards Taka, who also seemed to be enjoying the fact that the plant life was ceasing to exist. Taka: So that’s that huh? Matthew: Yea. Seems like it. Taka: Jasper might actually slowly return back to normal now that the machine is no longer useful. Matthew: Taka… Join us. Join the good team. I don’t know why you’re with them but I can sense there’s some good in you. Come on. You can help me take down all the other PULSE machines and- Taka: It sounds simple but really. I can’t. Besides, there’s another machine like this up in the Beryl Ward. I’ll see you there. Taka then walked out of the forest. I stood there for a few minutes. I looked around the forest and the machine. I was tired and wanted to sleep but I felt good. I saved the Jasper Ward. I decided I should find a place to at least rest for a few hours. I would try to get a full night’s sleep but who knows if it’d be too late by then. I walked the same path Taka did as he left but I saw a little girl with pink hair standing there. She looked really mad for some reason. Matthew: Umm… Hey. Are you lost little girl? ???: Don’t call me little and just what in the world do you even think you were doing?! I don’t know if it was because I was getting super tired or her voice was that loud but it scared me a bit there. She was scarier than Taka. Matthew: Whoa whoa. What did I do? ???: I was gonna mess up those Meteor jerks myself! It’s not fair! It’s not! It’s not! It’s not! I finally get away from my dad so I can stop the bad guys! He wouldn’t let me do it otherwise! Matthew: Well maybe he’s just trying to- ???: NO! Just shut up! He never lets me go ANYWHERE! I mean what kind of father doesn’t let his daughter to go out and beat up the bad guys! Matthew: 1 that cares about your safety? ???: Ugh! You know, sometimes I think he secretly trying to punish me… Maybe I remind him of mom or something. I don’t know! Anyways, the joke is on him though. I stole mom’s ring AND I snuck out to beat up the bad guys! Matthew: I don’t think that’s very- ???: Now that I think about it, there’s another 1 of those machines up in the Beryl Ward where I live. I’m gonna go and blow up that 1. DON’T you try to stop me either! GOT IT?! Matthew: Look. I just wanna make sure that the Ward’s are ok. Just don’t get hurt alright? ???: Whatever. I’m not gonna get hurt. Alright Salamence! It’s take-off time! The little girl threw a PokeBall up into the air and out pops a Slamence. I stood there in shock as she hopped on. How does a little girl like that own a Pokemon like that?! She flew up into the sky and headed up north to what I could only assume was the Beryl Ward. I was about to head back to the PokeCenter when I saw another path leading back into the Ward. I decided I’d head through that direction. I went through and saw that there were 2 buildings still standing up. I was about to go into 1 of them when I heard a commotion in the other. I ran up and put my ear to the wall. I didn’t know what was going on but it didn’t sound good. So I went up to the door, pushed it open and could see a Meteor Grunt holding a police officer hostage. The Team Meteor Grunt turned around and saw me. Immediately, he threw out his Pokemon. I followed suit and in no time, defeated him. He got a mad look on his face but with no other options left, he stormed out of the building. I ran over to the officer to make sure he was alright. Matthew: Hey. Are you ok? Police Officer: Yea. I’m fine. He caught me off guard and cornered me here and I had no way of calling for help. He beat my Pokemon too so I was trapped. Matthew: Well I’m glad you’re safe. The Chief asked me to find the officers that were missing. He’s waiting for you back at the Police Station. Police Officer: Alright. Thank you. See you later. I watched as the officer ran out of the building and hopefully making it back to the Police Station. I walked out and checked out the next building. The bottom floor was all messy and a huge crack on the floor. I went around the crack and went through the door on the other side of the room. It was an elevator. I took it up to the 5th floor. The rest of the floors didn’t work. I looked all around the room. It seemed like it was untouched. As I searched it some more, I saw a couch with a pillow and blanket. At this point, I was horribly tired. I decided I’d get some sleep here for a couple of hours and then resume my mission of destroying the other machine in Beryl Ward.

It's back and WOW! What a way for it to come back. I like the fact that Shelly has returned. (Whenever I get back to my James run, someone else shall be joining the group for a long period of time but I ain't spoiling who) Anyways, nice job. And I feel as though Radomus has just beaten the hell out of Vanilla with just his words. Haha.

Matthew: Alright. It’s time to challenge Florinia. I got up from my chair and started to walk towards the room that I had battled Fern a little while ago. I was looking forward to this battle. I made it to the room and went inside. I looked in front of me and there was some kind of structure in front of the door I presumed to be the Gym Battle Arena. And old man walked up to me and started to talk to me. Old Man: Hello there young man. What are you doing here? Matthew: Well I’m here to challenge Florinia to a Gym Battle but seems the door is closed off. Old Man: Ohohohoho. Well I know how to get those things to clear the way. Florinia likes people to study in the school. You must answer questions from the computers in the other room. When you get them all correct, the door will be open to you. Matthew: Ohh. Well than you very much for that information. Old Man: No problem. I saw 1 of those computers that were inside Julia’s Gym and decided to go over there and talk to Ame. I pressed the button and Ame’s face appeared on the screen. Matthew: Hey Ame. Ame: Is that you Matthew? Matthew: Yep. I’m here at the Onyx Trainer’s School. Ame: Ohh! That means you’ll be battling Florinia for her Gym Badge. Unless you decided to become a student there? Matthew: No. Just the Gym Battle. Ame: I figured but just wanted to be sure. Hmm. Well she’s not like your ordinary Grass Type Gym Leader. Matthew: What do you mean? Ame: Well most Grass Type Gym Leaders would use something like a field or a rose garden as their battle surroundings. Florinia is different. She uses the desert as a battle field. Matthew: Hmm. That actually makes sense with her. Ame: Her Pokemon will try to widdle your damage down with status effects and sandstorms and things like that. You need to power through them though. Matthew: I think I get the picture here. Thanks for the heads up Ame. Ame: No problem. Good luck Matt! Matthew: Wait! Really quick. The PokeGear. Does it have anyway to connect to the internet? Ame: Yes. There’s an option to connect to the internet on the settings there. Matthew: Alright. Thanks. See you later. The screen went blank. I figured Florinia wanted me to read the books all around the school but I wasn’t gonna do that. I went to the other room with the multiple computers. I read the 1st question and looked it up on my PokeGear. I put the answer in and the computer screen said correct and then went to black. I did the same thing 7 more times. I went back to the room with the stuff in front of the door but this time, the door was cleared. I stepped through and entered into the Battle Arena. Florinia was ahead of me but to the side of me were a bunch of students there watching as I walked up to her. Talk about being uncomfortable. Matthew: Umm… Were you just getting done teaching a class? Florinia: No. They will observe our Gym Battle here today. Matthew: Do you do this with all of your challengers? Florinia: Yes. People should observe a Gym Leader Battle so they know to not underestimate them. Matthew: Hmm. That does make sense. Florinia: Anyways, your assistance in Meteor-related affairs is appreciated. However, that alone fails to merit the appropriation of a badge. Matthew: Well I know that. I wouldn’t wanna be given a badge no other way. Florinia: Then please take your place on the other side of the field. I walked over to the end of the field and looked back at Florinia. Again, she stared at me for a couple of seconds. Maybe she was wondering if Wehttam was gonna come out. I felt a rumble going on in my stomach. Matthew (quietly to myself): Ow! I know you got a crush on her but calm it down will ya? Florinia: Accordingly, let us begin. Please do not mistake the impartial application of these tests as unthankfulness. Students, please take notes on standard battling procedure. The demonstration will commence. Hypothesis: Subject possess insufficient data for conclusive results. Expected outcome: failure. Matthew: Wait. Did you just tell me that you’re expecting to beat me? Now I really can’t wait for the battle to begin! Florinia: Proceed with the battle. The battle was over and I had come out victorious. The class stood up and clapped their hands for such an incredible battle. Florinia then handed me my badge or as she called it, the Canopy Badge. Matthew: Thank you Florinia. That was an intense battle. Florinia: Indeed. Now then, where do you intend to go now? Matthew: I have no idea. I’d like to go battle my 3rd Gym Battle but I have no idea where to go Florinia: I see. Well, I do have 1 final request from you. Matthew: What’s that? Florinia: Because of my status as Gym Leader and faculty at this school, I cannot stray far from it. At least, for now. However, there is a crisis still happening similar to the 1 you helped stopped just a bit ago. Matthew: You mean the plant life? Florinia: Correct. As you most likely have heard, the Jasper and Beryl Wards have been ransacked by the same machine as Obsidia. Matthew: Actually, I didn’t til now but continue. Florinia: We caught Obsidia in a budding state but they were not as fortunate. Seeing as you are the only 1 to have successfully terminated the previously active project, I ask that you go into the Jasper Ward and see if the same thing is happening there. Matthew: Wait. You want me to go into the Japser Ward, which is apparently worse than it was here, most likely take on Team Meteor by myself and try to save that Ward by myself?! Florinia: Correct. I will make preparations for your passage to Jasper. Florinia took out her PokeGear and made a call. I stood there frozen stiff. Scared. How was I supposed to do this all on my own? I always had someone helping me but now I’m on my own. Well… I suppose that isn’t true. I have Wehttam. He’s helped me in many situations before and I’ve been at the very least decently ok. I decided I would do it. Apparently, no 1 else could anyways. I might as well try to right? She hung up her phone and looked back towards me. Florinia: Alright. Everything is set. When you get to the gate, just tell the officer your name and he’ll let you in. Matthew: Alrighty then. Thanks. Florinia: I would wish you luck, however, luck is merely an illusory essentialization of statistics, and is neither inherently good nor bad. Regardless, farewell. My brain started to hurt. I have no idea what she said but I just waved good bye to her as I walked out of the room. My stomach again growled and hurt a bit. Matthew: I know you like her but we gotta move. You heard her request. You wanna make her… some type of sad? The pain stopped. I walked out of the school and towards my next destination: The Jasper Ward. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

I woke up and sat up on the couch. I felt like I was sleeping on top of a tree. I looked over to the girl at the desk. Matthew: Thanks for letting me sleep here. It was refreshing. Girl: You’re welcome. Although, you talk a lot in your sleep. Must have been having a crazy dream there huh? Matthew: You can say that. Well, here’s your pillow and blanket. I should get going. Gonna challenge the Gym Leader today. Girl: You mean Florinia? Matthew: Mhm. Girl: Ohh. Well good luck! I walked out of the apartment complex and started to head my way up to the Onyx Ward where Florinia was waiting for me inside her Gym. I walked up to the stairs and looked at the Ward. This seemed untouched from the plant destruction that was happening to Obsidia Ward yesterday. Actually, this Ward looked better than any of the Wards he had seen. There wasn’t that much stuff here though. There was an apartment complex, some ladies house, the Onyx Arcade and the Onyx Trainer’s School. It wouldn’t make much sense for her gym to be in the apartment complex or the ladies house and the arcade seemed way to peppy and lively for Florinia. So I figured I’d go up into the school. I went up to the door but a student was there. OTS Student: Hey. Are you a new student here? Matthew: No. I’m here to challenge Florinia for a Gym Battle for her badge. OTS Student: Ahh. Then you’ll want to enter the door over there. It’s still connected to the school but it’s closer to her Gym. Matthew: Alright. Thanks. I listened to the students advice and went to the door on the other side of the school. I walked in and right in front of me was Fern. I could tell he wasn’t happy to see me. Fern: Matthew. Matthew: Fern. Fern: Someone told me that you coming here to challenge my sister to a Gym Battle. Matthew: Correct. So if you don’t mind- Fern: Hey! I didn’t say you can go through. Matthew: Really? Are you afraid I’m gonna beat your sister or something? Fern: Heh. See Matthew, I know you. Or should I say, I know the “both of you.” You and your crazy side. That doesn’t freak me out anymore. Not that that doesn’t make you a freak but I’ve overcome that. Matthew: Btw, does your jaw still hurt from that punch? Fern: Shut it! If there’s 1 thing I know for sure is that right now, you’re the real you. Not crazy. How would you feel if I pummeled you? I froze up. Even though I knew my entity friend would help me if there was ever a time I felt my life was threatened and he was around, he’d pay for it. But I also didn’t feel like eating another knuckle sandwich. So I shut up and let him speak. Fern: Good. You know your place. Anyways, you don’t deserve to challenge her Matt. You’re not good enough. This right here is a good example of that. Matthew: Come on dude. I just wanna- Fern: Shut it! Trey, tell the other kids not to let Matthew in. And Skye, go hit the switch for the gate. His lackey’s exited the room, listening to what Fern had ordered them to do. Matthew: Seriously? Fern: Hmph. Maybe you don’t understand why I’m doing this Matthew. Not like I’m trying to stick up for the Flobot. But it’s a matter of our family and our school’s pride. Fern walked backwards, still keeping his eyes on me. I stood there watching. I didn’t want to get hit. When he got back far enough, a steel grate came crashing down to the ground. Fern looked at me through the holes of the steel grate. Fern: And you, you crazy son of a bitch. You’re not worthy. With that, Fern stormed to an area to the left. I stood there for a couple of seconds, angry at the fact that Fern had denied me access to Florinia and to challenge her for the Gym badge. I walked outside and started to pound the wall of the school. I was very angry. Suddenly, a Pokemon popped out of 1 of my PokeBalls. It was Jessie, my Ekans. It was slithering around in an angry way. It must have felt my anger and needed to express it. I tried to calm it down but nothing seemed to work. Suddenly, Jessie stopped her slithering around and looked at me. I didn’t know what was going on. Then, to my surprise, she started to glow and change. I was in shock. My 1st Pokemon was evolving. I know my Rowlet evolved before but this felt different. I had a connection with Jessie. I watched as she got finished evolving into an Arbok. She looked at me with a happy smile on her face. I leaped toward her and hugged her. Matthew: Jessie! You… You evolved! Did you evolve for me? Arbok: Charrrrbok Char! Matthew: Haha! This is so exciting. I’m so proud of you. Maybe Fern locking me out of the school wasn’t so bad after all. Now, I have a stronger ally. Arbok: Charbok Char! I took out my PokeBall and returned Jessie back inside of her PokeBall. I felt much better and much more excited. I decided that I would take on all of Fern’s lackies and take him down at the end, if necessary. But hopefully, he wouldn’t hit me again like he did last time. As I approached the door I was at before, the same student stopped me. OTS Student: Whoa there buddy. Where do you think you’re going? Matthew: I’m going inside. Is that a problem? OTS Student: You’re not allowed in. Fern gave me the heads up about you. Matthew: Ohh great. OTS Student: So you gonna leave? Matthew: No. OTS Student: Fine. Time to battle. After the battle, I pushed the dude to the side and walked into the school. It certainly looked nice in there. There was even a PokeCenter inside. Thank Arceus. Now I don’t have to go all the way back to the Obsidia or Coral Wards and use their PokeCenters. There were a lot of books around as well. But of course there would be. This is a school after all. I walked down the corridor and was stopped by a another student. Matthew: Ugh. I was hoping I could just slip on by but I guess not. I battled her and beat her and then another student and went upstairs. This seemed like the dorm rooms. I decided to look into some of them. They looked nice. Kind of wanted me to go back to school. But of course, there were more of Fern’s lackies to take care of. I battled through them and went down another set of stairs. When I got down to the bottom, I looked at another corridor and saw that it was filled with even more books. But, they were also filled with more of Fern’s goons. I finally had enough and through all of the PokeBalls up into the air and my Pokemon popped out of them. Matthew: Alright. I’m sorry to all the teachers and counselors and whoever else might work here but I’m tired of having to go through Fern’s group. Everyone that is obeying Fern, send out your Pokemon now and we’re gonna have a battle royal right here, right now! Some of the OTS students grinned and walked towards me calling out their Pokemon. Me and my Pokemon got ready for the fight and it began. A lot of Pokemon were going after mine but slowly, we started to get the upper hand. Finally, after a long grueling battle royal, my team stood tall in victory. Fern’s goons stood there in shock at what they just witnessed. Before I continued though, I went back to the room with the PokeCenter and rested my Pokemon and myself there. After that, I continued walking towards the room Fern had walked into before. I reached there and saw Fern blocking a door. He saw me and put his hand over his face. Fern: Ugh! Those kids can’t do ANYTHING right! Matthew: Well, I’m just a better trainer than them. I’m also a better trainer than y- Fern: If you plan on finishing that sentence, prepare to feast on this. Fern clenched his face and showed it to me. But I was too tired to care. He had delayed my Gym Battle against Florinia and had his group try to take me out. I had it with him. Matthew: Yea. Cool. Still a better trainer than you. Fern widened his eyes, shocked to hear the words come out of my mouth. He gritted his teeth and threw a punch. But this time, I saw it coming and side stepped him. I stood my foot out and watched as Fern fall onto his ass. I stood there laughing at him. He got up again but angrier than before. He clenched his fist again and was about to hit me once more. But by the time he had tried to throw a punch at me, I already had my Godra Goodra out. Matthew: Look. I just wanna get this over with. Just send out your Pokemon and let’s battle. Fern: Grrr! Tch. Fine. But you’re gonna learn that unlike last time, you’re gonna get wrecked scrub! After the battle was done, Fern looked towards the ground and then back at my face. I was prepared for a punch being thrown at me but he never did. He just stared at me. Finally, he spoke. Fern: I hate this so much! You’re infuriating Matthew! Seriously! You think you’re SO DAMN COOL, just because you’re taking on the Gym League. Well guess what punk. 2 can play at that game! If a freak like you can do it, I’ll surely have no problem with it. You know, I’d thank you but I’d just be wasting my time. Later loser. I’ve got things to take care of. And with that, Fern went on his way. I looked as I saw him disappear through the doors. I was relieved. I thought I’d have to fight him which I was not looking forward to, despite my earlier dodge from his punch before. I decided I would just heal my Pokemon at the PokeCenter here and recuperate for a bit before challenging Florinia for her Gym Badge. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

Yes! More stuff for me to read! Nice job.

Your profile pic is like the best reaction I'm pretty sure everyone had/has when they read that it was a prank. xD

It's not really a bad sign. Here. Use this. It'll explain better than I can. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_breeding

You're welcome. Now the running around bit to get the egg is random. Could take like 30 seconds. Could take 5 minute. But it shouldn't ever take like past 10 minutes to get an egg. It's never happened to me at least.

Ahh. Ok. So you need to make sure you have these 3 things to breed a Phantump 1. Your Phantump is female. 2. The other Pokemon you put in the daycare with your Phantump is male. 3. The other Pokemon you put in the daycare with your Phantump is of the same egg group. In Phantump's case, it's in the Grass and Amorphous egg group. I'll leave a link here to serebii so that way if you wanna breed other Pokemon, you know the egg group it needs to be bred with. https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/

You gotta run around and talk to the old man outside of the daycare. He should say something like "Your Pokemon had an egg there when we found them. I don't know how it got there but do you want it?" That's how you breed Pokemon.

Thanks. But I'll be honest. I kinda just threw that in there to be interesting. Wasn't planned or anything. xD So I can't wait to see what comes up next with that. Although, I'm trying to think when the next time a visit should happen. I mean it makes sense that I would visit him in my dreams after every life threatening scene but I'm not sure if that should be the only time I get to see him or when it's necessary. Like maybe after beating Florinia. But that might be too soon. Then again, it would add more to the Wehttam crushing on Florinia story as well. Ahh! Idk. Haha. xD

Matthew: Mmm. Hmm? Wha- Ohh. I must be dreaming again. I stood up and looked around. All that there was was darkness and fog. I looked down to what I was standing on and was quite confused why I was standing on a tree. Then I heard a familiar voice. Wehttam: Ahh Matthew. Here you are. Matthew: Umm… Any reason you decided we’d meet on top of a tree? Wehttam: Why not? It’s not like you’d ever do this in reality with someone else. Matthew: Hmm. True. Wehttam: I brought you here for a reason. Matthew: I think I know why. That ZEL person right? Wehttam: Yes. I wanted to get your thoughts on that person. Matthew: Well… That person definitely seems like it has an entity in their body but it’s multiple entities. And somehow they’re able to talk to each other while inside. Is that even possible? Wehttam: The only person I have seen for these 1000 years is the person that chooses where my soul will reside in. We entities do not see each other ever. Matthew: Well that’s not much to go onto. Do you at least have an idea if that ZEL person does have entities inside of them or not? Wehttam: I’ll be honest my dear friend, I do not know. But I know this. That person most certainly has more than 1 soul in it. However, I’ve never heard of 2 or more souls chosen to put inside 1 vessel. That would screw things up for the vessel and well… You don’t wanna know the rest. Matthew: You’re right. I don’t. But they definitely have more than 1 soul yes? Wehttam: Correct… And 1 of the 3 souls actually belongs in that body. Matthew: Wait. What?! Wehttam: Yes. There is certainly something going on in that one’s vessel. But I am not sure of what. Yeeees. Matthew: Is there anything we can do to find out what is going on with them? Wehttam: Just continue with your journey. Eventually, we’ll get more information. Matthew: Alright. That does sound like the best plan for now. Wehttam: Quite. Hmm. Something troubling you Matthew? Matthew: Well I suppose it’s not a big deal but isn’t there a way we can switch without me going limp? Haha. I mean, my head still hurts. Wehttam: Hmm. I suppose that is quite troublesome. I suppose there is 1 way. But it’s never been done before. Matthew: What is it? Wehttam: Well I takeover when I feel you at your top feelings of your life ending. But if you were to call me before that time arrives, then I can just takeover it peacefully. Matthew: Really? That’s all. Wehttam: I believe so. It’s never really been done though. At least, I haven’t tried it. So whenever you decide to call me, we shall see what happens. Matthew: That’s great! I could use less headaches. Wehttam: By the way, before it is time for you to head back to your physical body, I wanted to ask you something. Matthew: Shoot dude. Wehttam: That Florinia girl. She seems quite interested in you. Or should I say, me. Matthew: Yea. She always stares at me. Maybe she’s trying to figure out why you come out in certain situations. Wehttam: She’s quite adorable. But, she also seems like she could figure us out. Matthew: Well so what if she does? Wehttam: Do you trust her? Matthew: Well, she’s odd but she seems like she is doing things to help out Reborn. So I would say yes. Why do you ask? Wehttam: I may have umm… Acquired certain feelings for her. Matthew: Wait… What? Wehttam: When I 1st saw her back at the factory, when I came back here, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. That hair, that face, her cute body. Everything. Matthew: Whoa whoa whoa. Wait. You’re catching feelings for Florinia?! Wehttam: Well am I not allowed? Matthew: I didn’t say that. I just… I didn’t think a soul or entity could catch feelings for, as you say, us vessels. Wehttam: Quite the contrary. We can but it never works out for us. Matthew: Well considering the fact it’s not the actual me that likes her like that, yea. I agree. Wehttam: You’re sure are negative sometimes aren’t you? Matthew: Just being honest. Haha. Wehttam: Well, your time is almost up. Matthew: Wait. Before I leave, is something else gonna happen to 1 of my Pokemon? Wehttam: Do you expect me to spoil EVERYTHING for you? Matthew: Well I mean… You did for Rowlet. Wehttam: Hehehe. I was being nice. I’m not going to spoil anything for you. You’re going to have to find out for yourself. Matthew: Ahhh man. Wehttam: Now, go to sleep so you can continue beating Gym Leaders for their badge. I believe the next Gym Leader is Florinia yes? Matthew: Mhm. It’s gonna be an interesting battle. See you later Wehttam! I laid down on the bushy ground and was fast asleep. WEHTTAM RATINGS

Awesome job! I wasn't expecting Winona to be in this. Let alone in this way but wow. 1st Pokemon capture and new people to meet! But I'm a bit confused. Are her legs broken or they're just hurt so badly that she can barely move them?

You thought I would go through all of those spoilers just to find out the answer?! Well you're wrong! I was able to do it! MWAHAHAHAHA! But seriously, I'm happy to see you doing this as well. I haven't played V10 yet or this but I know I'm gonna enjoy this. Always love reading your stuff.

I accidentally dozed off and when I woke up, it just turned nighttime. I got up, stretched and decided to go outside and explore this Ward before going up to see if the police officers moved or not. It was still foggy but it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t see what was in front of me. There wasn’t too much to this Ward however. A couple of docks, some sheds and buildings. I assumed this place was used mostly for ships and boats and the like. I went up to 1 of the docks and saw a young woman standing at the end of it. As I got closer, I could tell her hair was a blueish-green aqua color and she was wearing mostly blue. I looked the way she was and saw a Popplio on some sort of platform that held a lighthouse. Matthew: Hey. What are you doing? ???: Ohh. That Popplio is trapped there. The water here is badly toxic to any Pokemon and if they touch it, they’ll be seriously hurt. Matthew: Ohh. That is bad. How can we get the Popplio over here? ???: I don’t know. I’ve been here for a couple of minutes trying to figure that out. I’m a Water Type Pokemon Trainer so none of my Pokemon can help. Matthew: Hmmm. As we were thinking of a way to rescue the Popplio, I heard a familiar voice call my name. Cain: Oh my Arceus! Heyyyy Matthew!~ Matthew: Ohh. Hey Cain. Fancy meeting you here. Cain: Oooo. Making friends in high places hmm? Matthew: What do you mean? ???: I wouldn’t say high places but… Cain: Wait. You really don’t know Matt? Matthew: Know what? Cain: This girl right here is Amaria. She is 1 of the highest-ranking Gym Leaders in Reborn. Matthew: Wait. Really? Amaria: Yes but that’s not important right now. Cain: Ohh. And here I thought you 2 were staring off into the sunset.~ Matthew:… It’s 10 at night Cain. There hasn’t been a sunset for a couple of hours. Amaria: I don’t mean to break up this… whatever it is but we still need to find a way to save that Popplio? Cain: Popplio? Matthew: Yea. It’s stuck over there and if any Pokemon touches the water, they’ll be seriously hurt. Amaria: This is troubling. Cain: Hmm. Nah. Amaria: I beg your pardon? Cain: ~You’re not alone, so have no doubt, we’ll put our heads together gonna figure this out~ Matthew: Umm… Are you singing Cain? Cain: Mhm. Let’s go Grimer! I choose you! Amaria: A Grimer? Cain: ~In no time, we’ll be at your side! We’re a team on a roller coaster ride~ ~Each 1 of us knows just what to do~ ~And we’re never gonna stop-- gonna stop-- searching for you~ Me and Amaria watched as Cain’s Grimer swam through the toxic water towards the Popplio. Since Grimer was a Poison Type, the water didn’t hurt it. Cain: Hey Popplio, hop on! Matthew: Well, well, well. You’re a smart dude Cain. Cain: Oooo!~ Thanks Matt. He grabbed my arm and leaned onto me. I gently pushed him away. Matthew: Doooon’t push it. The Popplio hopped onto the Grimer and it swam back, successfully rescuing it. Cain: ~Ohh, baby, listen to me~ ~We’re gonna-- gonna-- gonna set you free, yeah~ Amaria: That was… Amazing! Matthew: While I don’t understand why you had to sing while doing that, you got a nice voice. Cain: Well thanks. Grimer, return! Well, your Popplio is ok now. Later you 2~ As Cain was walking away, the Popplio dragged itself towards Cain chasing him. Amaria: Hey! That Popplio seems to have taken a liking to its hero. Cain: Hmm? Well he is a cute little guy. You wanna come with me Popplio? Popplio: Poppop! Popplio! Matthew: I would have to say that is a BIG yes. Haha. Cain: I’d have to agree with you Matt. Haha. Alright~ From this day forward, I’ll keep you safe from now on. Popplio: Poppop! Matthew: What’s wrong with it? Amaria: Haha. I think I know. It doesn’t want to be protected anymore more. Matthew: You mean… Amaria: Mhm. It wants to return the favor. Hey. You’re name’s Matthew right? Matthew: Yea. Why? Amaria: Why not give the little guy a spar? Matthew: Well… I’m alright with it as long as Cain is. Cain: Well, I’ve heard of worse ideas~ This is our rematch! Amaria: Oh my goodness! I didn’t expect Popplio to be on the losing side in this battle. Matthew: Wait… Did you just imply that you thought I was we- Cain: Wellllll Matthew is full of surprised and in all of the right ways.~ Matthew: On 2nd thought, I’ll let you keep that thought Amaria if it prevents him from making anymore jokes like that. Cain: Who said I was joking.~ Matthew: Cain. Cain: Ok. Ok. I’m kidding~ I have to go to the Wastelands. Matthew: Where’s that and why? Cain: I told my sis I’d meet her out there and it’s not far from here actually. See you guys around! Cain then took off. I was relieved but also kind of sad that he left. His smartness with how to save Popplio actually impressed me. I turned to Amaria. Amaria: I’m sure those 2 will be a great match. Matthew: I think so too. But I should get going. I have to meet up with someone. Amaria: Wait. Do you mean Florinia? Matthew: Yea. Why? Amaria: So you were the 1 she meant when she told me her sneak attack on Team Meteor in the Mosswater Factory! She’s at the Obsidia Park right now. I’m gonna go there. I’ll meet you there, along with Florinia. Matthew: Alright. I’ll be fast. We can’t let this get any worse than it is! Amaria ran up to the stairs and climbed up them. I looked out to the water and up in the air. I stood there for a couple of minutes, trying to psych myself up for whatever could be coming up. My stomach grumbled as this happened. Something told me that this was gonna be another time that he takes over my body. But I trusted him. I walked out of the Coral Ward and walked up to the Obsidia Park. Luckily, the cops had moved. I found Florinia and Amaria and walked up to them. Amaria: Matthew! I’m glad you found us! Florinia: Greetins again Matthew. Matthew: Sorry if I made you 2 wait long. I was just… Trying to psych myself up. Florinia: Hmm. Amaria: You gonna be alright Matthew? Matthew: Yea yea. Don’t worry about me. Amaria: Me and Florinia will go in and then after a couple of seconds, you come in. Sound good? Matthew: Yep. Florinia: Let us proceed then. Florinia and Amaria walked into the park as I stood there. A couple seconds passed. Suddenly, I heard Amaria and Florinia. It sounded like they were gasping for air. I was now almost fully scared for my life. I knew they needed my help though, so I worriedly walked into the park. It didn’t take long for me to spot a person in black and Florinia and Amaria snared up in vines by their necks. Matthew: Amaria! Florinia! ???: I told you they’d get here too soon! If you had made this machine go faster- You don’t understand! Tangrowth wouldn’t be able to take anymore! Be grateful that this Pokemon was able to capture these 2 girls. Tangrowth, you’re so strong to be able to do everything so well! Are we gonna keep ignoring the other problem at hand here?! I was getting really confused. This person seemed to be talking to someone else but only me, Florinia, Amaria and that person were here. Matthew: Who are you? ???: Well my name is Lumi- Only 3 had arrived? We expected more. 2 are simply easy to deal with. It’d be more polite if we introduced ourselves. I’m- You already introduced yourself Lumi! I, however, am Zero. And I am Eve. Collectively, we are referred to as ZEL. I was still confused as to why this person was talking among themselves but then I had an idea. They had 3 names and in 1 body. Could this possibly be multiple entities chosen to be inside this 1 body? And somehow they had taken control of it? Matthew: You… Do you have multiple souls inside of you? zEl: What do you mean by that? Matthew: Are there multiple entities inside of your body. Zel: This is rubbish! Such non-intelligent talk! You will shut your mouth unless you wish to be killed! This really got to me. I didn’t know what was going on but I knew 1 thing. Whatever this person was definitely had something more going on inside their body. But that threat. That threat did the trick. As it did last time, my body went limp for a second but I caught myself before falling fully to the ground. The person looked at us in confusion. zeL: Are… Are you ok? Wehttam: YeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeSsSsSsSsSs. I have been awakened again and have been sent out to DELETE you. zEl: What… What is going on? Wehttam: That machine behind you 3… I would assume that that is what’s making these plants move and wiggle as if they were alive yes? zeL: Umm… Yes. Zel: Lumi! You do not give them answers… But you are correct. zeL: S-Sorry! Zel: I assume you intend to shut down this machine huh? Well we aren’t going to let you! zEl: The Link System is a simple hybridization-amplification mechanic. Zel: So with this machine, it can amplify a Pokemon’s abilities. For instance the Tangrowth here. It can now manipulate a single root into a massive arbor wrecking ball! Wehttam: Is that so? WONDERFUL! That makes me and this vessel want to take it down even more now! Ahahahaha! zEl: You act very strangely. Wehttam: You have threatened this vessels life. I shall protect it. Just like I’ve done with others for the past 1000 years! zeL: This is… Too freaky. Wehttam: Ahh. You there. I believe they call you Lumi. Out of the 3, you are the kindest of them all. HOWEVER!… You are also the weakest. zeL: What? Wehttam: Now then. Prepare for the infernal machine to be… DELETED! Wehttam: Yeeeees. We are VICTORIOUS! zEl: Next time, use our own Pokemon instead of the mission’s keystone! zeL: Tangrowth… I’m sorry. I should have intervened. Wehttam: The 1 called Lumi. You are the purest out of the 3 that possesses that body. Zel: Shut up! You don’t ever talk to her! Wehttam: You have the darkest heart and seem to have affiliated with the other 2 beings inside that body. Intriguing. Zel: Whatever. Anyways, Eve, you said that this machine was supposed to make it stronger! zEl: Your misjudgment was the key factor. Doesn’t matter. Now that Tangrowth is gone, the plants will recede back. Wehttam: Grand. Then everything shall go back to normal. Wonderful. WONDERFUL! zEl: Hmph. There’s no longer any reason to remain here. Get the machine and we’ll retreat. ZEL looked back at me with a nasty look. zEl: Matthew right? Trust me when I say this isn’t over. ZEL then quickly rushed out of the area. The vines let go of Amaria and Florinia’s necks and they dropped to the ground taking in breaths. Wehttam: You 2 seem to appear alive enough. Florinia and newly met Amaria. I hope to meet you 1 day again. My body went limp again and the normal me returned. Unfortunately, I came back when my head had just hit the ground. Amaria looked at me weirdly. Matthew: Ow! Can’t you find a way for me to come back without me going limp and banging my head of the gr- Uhh… Heeeeey Amaria. Amaria: What was that? Matthew: Umm… My crazy personality side. Amaria: Well… As long as it’s on our side, I’m ok with it. But Arceus. Those vines grabbed us as soon as we got close. I’m sorry I wasn’t much help but you clearned the whole thing yourself Matthew? Well I mean… You know what I mean. I’m impressed either way. Matthew: Thanks Amaria. Florinia: That person, if they can be referred to as a single subject, was an operator of Team Meteor. Matthew: Yea. That’s probably not a good thing for us but for now, everything is fine. Amaria: I agree. A lot of bad things have been happening lately. The Jasper and Beryl Wards, Azurine Lake, Grandview Station and now this… Matthew: They seem like a big threat. We should be careful. Hey Amaria. Why not go report this to Ame. She might have an idea of what to do next. Amaria: Good idea Matthew! I don’t know if we could have defeated them if it wasn’t for you. Well, I’m going now. Bye Matthew! Bye Rini! Amaria left for the Grand Hall. Florinia and myself stood there for a couple of more seconds. Again, she was looking at me like she was analyzing me. Finally, she spoke. Florinia: Very well. The immediate crisis is resolved. I will be returning to my gym in the Onyx Ward. Your attendance will be accepted at your leisure. Matthew: Uhh yea. Sure. I’ll challenge you tomorrow. I need some sleep. Florinia: Very well. Florinia was about to leave but then she turned around to me. Florinia: Matthew… The other you… Although I do not understand or cannot explain how or why it comes out, it is very helpful. Thank you. Farewell. Florinia walked away up to the Onyx Ward. I was kind of shocked that she would thank me but maybe she was just trying to be nice? I didn’t know but I wasn’t going to think on it for long. I needed to find a place to sleep. I searched for a place and finally got lucky. I went into an apartment complex and a girl behind a desk was there. Matthew: Excuse me but is there an empty room here and if so, may I just use it for the night? Girl: Sorry but only residents may go beyond this gate. Matthew: I understand. I was about to walk out when I saw couches in the lounge. I went back up to the desk. Matthew: Would you mind if I slept on 1 of the couches at least? Girl: Well… I suppose that wouldn’t hurt. But you have to leave tomorrow. Matthew: Deal. Thank you so much. Girl: Let me get you a pillow and blanket. The girl went into another room and walked out with a pillow and blanket and handed it to me. I laid down on the couch, covered myself up, laid my head on the pillow and fell fast asleep.
