???: Hey! Wake up you! Nancy: Huh? Ohh! Crescent?! What are you doing in here?! Crescent: Who do you think you are to question me like that? Nancy: I-I’m sorry… But please try to keep it down. Matthew is sleeping right down those steps. Crescent: I’ve noticed. Anyways, you do understand the position you’re in correct? Nancy: Yes, I believe so but if I’m honest… I’m not sure if I’m ready. I know what you said about me before but I genuinely feel fear. Crescent: You? Feeling fear? Stop talking nonsense. I don’t want to hear about your faux emotions. Nancy: But I- Crescent: Silence. All I’m interested in hearing is you telling me that you’re ready to take this role. But I should apologize. It’s my fault really. Nancy: How is it your fault? Crescent: Obviously, I didn’t make your position clear enough from the beginning. Either you’re ready to fulfill your duty or you’re no longer any use to me. You don’t get the option to tell me if you’re ready or not. Nancy: Yes… Yes Crescent. I understand. I just think all I need is a little bit of time. Crescent: Well luckily for you, time is all you have left. All I want to see is Matthew smile. That’s all. Once we dock in East Gearen City, you’re to go to West Gearen City and live normal lives. -gradually getting louder- If I get even a small inkling of betrayal from you, I won’t hesitate to- Nancy: Shhh shhh! Don’t wake Matthew up! But you can trust me Crescent. I have no plans to do such a thing. Good. I’m glad to hear it. Crescent: Now that we’re clear on what to do, I will take my leave now. I expect to see you both at the banquet later today. Nancy: Yes. We will. Crescent: Good. -slams the door as she leaves- The sound of a door slamming made me jolt awake and fall onto the ground from the couch. I rose to my feet as fast as I could and looked around the room to see if I could spot the source of the noise but I couldn’t see a thing. As I looked up the stairs, I could see my mom standing next to her bed. She looked worried about something. Matthew: Mom? Is everything ok? What was that noise? Nancy: Uhh… Sorry sweetie. I had a bad dream and I woke up and accidentally knocked over the uhh… thing here. I already put it back. Matthew: Ohh. Ok. Sorry you had a bad dream. I was having a weird dream before I woke up. Nancy: About what? Matthew: I’m not too sure what it was about but you and someone named Crescent was talking about something. I have no idea why I dreamt something like that though. Nancy: Yes… That is weird. Matthew: Wait. It’s the next day right?! Does that mean we’re in Aevium right now?! Nancy: Yes it does. Matthew: Alright! This is awesome! Come on Muddy! Time to get up and enjoy the day as much as we can! Mudbray: Mud Mudbray! Nancy: -chuckles- Well you 2 have fun. I’m gonna go for a little walk on the deck. Matthew: Alright mom. Have a good day. Nancy: By the way, before the banquet starts, you should go see Augustus. Matthew: Why? Nancy: He used to be a trainer back in his day. He took on the Aevium League. Matthew: He did?! Nancy: Mhm. He might be able to give you some more useful knowledge before you start your journey. Matthew: Doesn’t sound like a bad plan. Alright. I’ll go see him later. Nancy: Good. See you 2 later! Mom got herself ready really quickly and walked out the door. I was even more pumped up now that I was actually in the Aevium Region. I got myself together and tried to keep myself busy. I was wanting the banquet to start already because that would signal that this boat journey would be almost over and we’d be at our destination and I’d be able to start my adventure. Well, if Pokemon wanted to be around me that is. I took a walk throughout the rest of the ship. It was quite big so that took a couple of hours. Then I decided to chill out by the pool for a bit. With Mudbray being a Ground Type, it decided to take a little nap in the room as I did that. Afterwards, I decided to just stay in the room until it was almost time for the banquet to start. Mother came into the room so she could get ready. She reminded me that I had to go see Augustus up in the captains room. So I started to go there now with Mudbray. As we were going there though, I could hear the beautiful melody of a piano being played. I went up the stairs and could see a Piano Lady playing the large instrument with a Jigglypuff on top of it. When she was done playing it, I applauded her performance. Piano Lady: Ohh! I didn’t notice I had an audience. Thank you very much young man. Matthew: Ohh it’s no problem. I don’t usually care for piano music but the way you played it was really nice and I had to listen to the rest of it. Piano Lady: Aww. You’re gonna make me blush. Matthew: You ever get tired of playing it? Piano Lady: Me? Getting tired of playing the piano? I don’t think that’ll ever happen. I’ll never get tired of the wonderful audience that takes their time to my music either! Matthew: I can see that. Piano Lady: Where are you off to? Matthew: I’m going up to the captains roo. I have to talk to him about something. Piano Lady: Just beginning your adventure through Aevium right? Matthew: Is it written on my forehead or something. -chuckles- Sheesh. Piano Lady: -chuckles back- My apologies. I should let you go on through. I need to get ready for the banquet. See you later… Uhh… Matthew: It’s Matthew. Piano Lady: Thank you. I’ll see you later Matthew. Matthew: Back at you. The Piano Lady got up from her seat and went down the steps that I just came up from. Her Jigglypuff struggled to stay right behind her. I resumed my walk up to the captain’s room. When I finally got there, I took a deep breath and opened the door and went inside along with Mudbray. Augustus was luckily there and he was in the captain’s chair. I didn’t expect a room like this to be so small. When he saw me, his face glowed up. Augustus: Ahhh Matthew! So you’ve come to my quarters after all. Matthew: Yea. Although, I didn’t expect this room to be this small. Augustus: -laughs out loud- Well I don’t mind it. Matthew: Ohh yea. O hope you don’t mind that Muddy’s in here. Mudbray: Mudbray. Augustus: Ohh don’t worry about him Matthew. I know him well enough that he’s a behaved Pokemon. So, are you enjoying your voyage to the Aevium Region? Matthew: Yes! I’m so excited. I wish the ship would dock really soon. Augustus: That’s the spirit boy-o. I was like that back in my young days as well. Matthew: Yea. Mom told me to talk to you before the banquet starts. So you challenged that Aevium League huh? Augustus: Well kind of. Matthew: Kind of? Augustus: Yes. I was never able to beat all 18 Gym Leaders. It was too difficult for me. Matthew: -thinking to myself- He quit before making it to the Elite 8? These Gym Leaders must be really strong then- Augustus: I can tell you’re deep in thought. Don’t worry about it Matthew. I have a feeling that you’ll be able to do this more easily than me. Matthew: Well I hope you’re right. By the way, I’ve been curious since I learned this yesterday. Why is there 18 Gym Leaders here? Augustus: Well for starters, this region is HUGE. It just makes sense. Plus, the league discussed it and they decided to have a Gym for every Pokemon Type. Matthew: Yea. That does make sense. Augustus: Also, Pokemon in this region are a little bit different than in other regions. Matthew: How so? Augustus: They will only obey you and continue to grow stronger if you keep impressing them. Matthew: Heh… So I’m screwed right off the bat then ehh? Augustus: Of course not. You can impress them by obtaining the Gym Badges. Anything else you need to know? Matthew: No. I think I know a lot of things about Aevium now. You’ve been a big help Augustus. Augustus: I’m happy I could help out Matthew. Now that that long and boring lesson is out of the way, I must make my way down to the banquet room. I’ll see you there in a few minutes Matthew. Matthew: Right. See you in a bit. Augustus walked out of the room and headed towards the banquet hall. I also then exited the captains room and went back to my room to get ready for the celebration. As I was getting ready however, I could hear a loud pounding on the door. It startled me. I had a feeling this wasn’t a good thing. I decoded to recall Mudbray and hide underneath the bed. My hunch was right as the door was forcefully pushed open. I could hear multiple feet walk into the room but luckily, they all stayed on the lower level of the floor. They started to talk but I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. ???: So when are we going to act out what’s planned? ???: Very soon. Nastasia’s about to arrive on the S.S. Oceana. ???: How exactly are we going to go about this? I can’t say I’m too good with handling with explosives. Matthew: -thinking to myself- Explosives?! ???: Don’t worry about that then. I’ll be the 1 who deals with that stuff. All we have to do is worry about when we get the signal. For now, let’s just lay low and try not to be noticed ok? Even if someone were here listening to us right now, they wouldn’t be able to find us. Now let’s separate. I could hear the footsteps again. They all went for the room’s door and then slammed it shut. I stayed underneath the bed for a bit just to make sure I wasn’t caught. I slowly made my way out from underneath the bed and checked the room if there were other people in there. There wasn’t luckily but now trouble was afoot. There were explosives on the ship and I had no idea what to do. I left the room and started to make my way to the banquet room. Before I could go in, mom stopped me. Nancy: Hold on dear! -runs up to me- Are you that eager to go in that you’re willing to leave your poor mother behind? -chuckles- Matthew: Uhh… Ummm… Nancy: Ohh don’t look so serious hun. I’m only teasing you. Let’s get seated shall we? Matthew: Y-Yea… Sure… Mom and I entered the room. Despite what I was feeling about what I had just heard a couple of minutes ago, I couldn’t help but love the room we were in right now. Everything looked so sublime and great. As soon as we got to our seats, Augustus made his way down off the stage and started to give his speech. Throughout the whole thing, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was gonna go wrong sometime soon. And I was right. As soon as he was done with his speech, 3 unknown individuals came barging into the room stopping the whole thing. ???: Sorry but I’m afraid you’re gonna have to postpone this little party of yours. Augustus: What? Who are you 3? What is the meaning of this? Matthew: Ohh no… ???: We’re going to need all of you to stay put and listen very carefully. We have explosives on board this ship. Any act of rebellion will result in a calamity none of you can afford. So let’s just get through this nice and easy ok? Matthew: Fuck… Fuck fuck fuck… Nancy: H-Honey? What’s wrong? Matthew: These 3 barged into our room a bit ago and talked about this but I didn’t do anything about it. I didn’t tell anyone to possibly stop this… Nancy: Hunny, this isn’t your fault. ???: You 2! Shut your mouths now! Nancy: Don’t you dare tell us what to do! Augustus: Are you telling me that you’re hijacking the ship? ???: -laughs evilly- Hijacking? No no. That’s too barbaric. We’re here to pick someone up. Nancy: No… No you won’t! G-Get Matthew out of here now! ???: Don’t make any funny movements! No one’s leaving this room, you hear? Nancy: Get them out of here right this instant! ???: I said don’t move! ???: Gothitelle, you know what to do. Gothitelle: Gooothitellle. Matthew: Huh? What’s going o- ???: Son of a… You’re all gonna regret this! The next thing I remembered was waking up in the captains room, lying on the ground. I had a slight headache but besides that, I was relatively alright. I looked around the room and realized that there were holes all around the room. The boat was also violently shaking. Just as I was about to leave, these weird tentacles with eyes on the end came popping out of the holes. I braced for an attack but they never did. It seemed like they were just observing me. I took the chance to run out of the room. It seemed just as bad outside as it was in the captains quarters. I ran downstairs and ran into the Piano Lady. I was so happy to see someone I relatively knew. Matthew: Piano Lady! Thank Arceus you’re here! Piano Lady: Hey! You’re the kid that disappeared out of thin air ain’t you? Matthew: Maybe but that’s not important right now. What happened to this ship? Piano Lady: As soon as you disappeared, some guy detonated an explosive on the hull of the S.S. Oceana. Matthew: Damnit! What do we do now? Piano Lady: I’m not sure. Water is gushing in at an alarming rate. And if we don’t find a way out soon… Matthew: Probably pointless to ask this but do you know what those tentacle things are? Piano Lady: No clue. They seem harmless but they also seem to be watching our every move. Matthew: Yea. I get that feeling too. It’s like they’re trying to observe us or look for something. I’m not sure why though. Piano Lady: Yea. But hey. You should go on ahead. I’ll stay here and help anyone that comes by. Matthew: Alright. Be careful. Piano Lady: You too kid. I left the Piano Lady on the upper floor as I walked down to the floor below. Things didn’t look good. The top of the ship was falling down onto the floor where we were and there was now water flooding into the ship. Not knowing what else to do, I ran into the banquet room to see if my mom was there. When I got inside, I didn’t find her but I found Augustus. He seemed to be very upset with the events that transpired just a bit ago. Matthew: Augustus! Are you ok dude? Augustus: Matthew! Thanks the heavens you’re alright. Me on the other hand… Matthew: I know things seem bleak right now but you gotta try to keep a level head. Augustus: -sighs- It seems like… this perfect day has taken quite the turn hasn’t it? Who would do such a thing? Matthew: I don’t know… I don’t know. Listen. Have you seen my mother? Augustus: Your mother? Hmm. I’m not sure actually. When the bomb detonated, it knocked me out cold. When I came around, everyone in the room was gone. Matthew: Fuck! Where the hell do I look now? Augustus: Maybe try talking to the people outside of this room. They may have seen your mother. Matthew: Alright. Seems like that’s the only thing I can do right now. What are you gonna do? Augustus: I think… I think I’m just gonna stay her in my own misery for a bit. Matthew: I don’t think now’s the time for that but… I’m here if you need me. Augustus: Soon… the S.S. Oceana will be at the bottom of the ocean… Thank you Matt. I turned around and exited the room and started to go towards the exit of the ship. More water had come in when I 1st saw it. 2 guys were trying to keep the water from gushing in but nothing was working. It seemed hopeless. Before I was able to ask if any of them saw my mom, what looked like 2 Deoxys came into the ship and kidnapped the 2 young men near the entrance of the ship. I fell backwards onto the steps, shocked at what I had just witnessed. I ran up to the stairs and ran down them. As I did, I could hear the rest of the passengers of the boat scream, begging for the Deoxys to let go of them. Then, silence. It felt very eerie in that ship at the time. As I was about to get inside of the Cargo Hold, some more holes popped up, having water come gushing in. I walked through the water and went inside the Cargo Hold. Almost immediately, I could see my mom and her Sylveon. It looked as though they were trying to stop the water from coming into the ship but to no avail. Matthew: Ohh thank Arceus you’re ok mom! Nancy: Huh? Matthew?! Is that you?! But I thought that- Matthew: I have no idea how I disappeared like that but I’m back here now to help us escape. Nancy: I thought you were somewhere safe already… Heh. Well all that matters is that we’re together again right? Matthew: Yes. Yes it is. But what do we do? Nancy: Hmmm… This ship won’t last very long Matthew. I’m afraid we’re gonna have to abandon it. Matthew: But what about the other people? Nancy: We can’t do anything for them. We gotta escape now while we have the chance. ???: -chuckles- What makes you think that you’re safe from our onslaught? Matthew: Huh?! Who said that?! Suddenly, these weird dots things formed on the ground in front of us, lines connected them together and then from out of nowhere, a woman appeared before us. The sight of the possible leader of this whole ambush started to make me feel angry. Just like that day 4 years ago. I was seething with anger. ???: We came here for 1 purpose and 1 purpose only. And you better believe me when I say we’re not leaving until we’ve fulfilled that purpose. Nancy: Are you the 1 who’s behind this attack?! Matthew: She has to be! ???: Hmm… Perhaps but that’s not something I’m comfortable sharing. The only thing that truly matters right now is your apprehension. Matthew: Wait wait. Hold on. You’re telling me you did all of this just to get to… my mom? Nancy: Is that true? ???: Well obviously. What? Did you think we came for Matthew? Maybe that’s what they made you think but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Matthew: But why? Why do you want my mom? Nancy: And why did you go as far as destroying the S.S. Oceana?! You’ve endangered all of these innocent people who have no idea what’s going on! ???: The answer is simple. We don’t want any witnesses. Better if we just wipe them all out. Matthew: Then you’re controlling those Deoxys? ???: Ohh? You saw those before? I’m surprised you’re still here then. Nancy: Someone could get out. They’d spread awareness. ???: They would but we’re not gonna let that happen. Besides, most people consider us quite passive anyways. It’s time. It’s time people woke up from this dream of safety they have going on. Nancy: Heh… So it’s going down like this huh? Matthew: You… You’re responsible for all of this! ???: Like I said before, maybe I am and maybe I’m not. Matthew: You are… YOU ARE! Nancy: Matthew… This is just like that night when… Matthew: Mother… Let me loose on this fucker… Nancy: No. No! It’s not the time Matthew! Matthew: Are you kidding me?! It’s the perfect time! Let me do it! Let me go wild on her! Nancy: No! But I have a different idea. Sylveon! Return! -returns Sylveon to its ball- Take my Pokemon. They will help you escape. Matthew: What?! But what about you mom!? Nancy: I’ll be fine as long as I know you’re safe and sound. That’s all that matters to me. Matthew: But- ???: Yeeeaaaa, no. Sorry but that ain’t going to happen. Just then, 3 Deoxys’ appeared between me and my mom, separating us from each other. There was no way either of us could take on these Pokemon. The situation seemed bleak until we all heard a voice from above saying “Look out below!” When we looked up, we could see a large object falling down towards us. We barely got out of the way in time but the Deoxys’ weren’t lucky enough as they were squished by the piano. With the girl temporarily disoriented from the falling piano, mother threw a PokeBall over the piano to me. I caught it but I was confused. Matthew: What? What’s this? Nancy: I was gonna give you this when you got back from the Laboratory but I think you need it more now than ever. Now listen to me! Get out of here! Hurry! Matthew: But I need to save y- Nancy: Just go Matt! Please! Matthew: I… Ok. I will. And I promise I’ll come back to save you! Nancy: I love you! Matthew: I love you too mom! -runs out of the Cargo Hold- ???: A bit of a setback but he’ll be captured soon enough. Nancy: That’s what you thin- Ugh… -collapses to the ground- ???: Should have done that from the beginning. Would have saved us a headache that we have on our hands now. I ran as fast as I could out of the Cargo Hold. I ran up the stairs and tried to get out of the ship where the pool was but to my dismay, there was another person there. He locked eyes on me as I came into view. ??? You there boy. Where do you think you’re going? Matthew: What the- No! Fucking hell! What do I do now?! ???: Did you think you were done with me? Matthew: Ahh! H-How did you- ???: I made quick work of your mother. And don’t be scared. I didn’t kill her… Well not yet anyways. Matthew: You… I swear you’ll pay for this some day! ???: Mhm. Now be a good little boy and come with us. There’s no point in fighting back. I placed a hand on Mudbray’s PokeBall. I know it wasn’t gonna be strong enough to take on these 2 but I didn’t have any other choice. Besides the PokeBall my mom gave me before I ran out of the Cargo Hold. Suddenly, there was a loud screech. I turned to see what it was and was instantly snatched up into a bird’s Pokemon’s claws. It picked me up off the ship and flew off with me into the sky. I was so exhausted with everything that was happening that I passed out and proceeded to stay like that for at least an hour. POKEMON TEAM! CHARACTER RATES! TIME SPENT IN AEVIUM!

MIRACLES! CAN! HAPPEN!

4 years later into my life and I am 18 years old. Still lived with my mother but I had gotten used to that. I have gotten those anger urges again as I thought I would. But my mother has stuck to her word and has never allowed me to let loose on people (young, old, woman or man) or Pokemon since the 1st and only time it’s happened. The urge to go travel was still there but the fact that I only had 1 Pokemon that wanted to be around me and actually acknowledged me meant that I wouldn’t really stand a chance in the Unova League. So I decided to stay at home and help mother around and eventually, I got a job. Luckily, having a Mudbray was pretty useful for this job. I had to do some deliveries throughout the Region. Sometimes, it’d take me a half hour to get to my destination and some other times, it’d take me a week. But if it weren’t for my Mudbray, it would take double the time. And also, thanks to this job, me and Mudbray had become even closer. And because of this as well, more than half the time, Mudbray spent most of its time outside of the PokeBall. I would put it back in when it’s necessary however. Although, I felt bad for it. I could tell just by looking at it that it had an urge to battle. It was stuck with someone that didn’t really have any battling experience. At least, not a lot of it. I’d train with Mudbray on some of the wild Pokemon while we did deliveries but most of the Pokemon were weak. Never really took long for it to be victorious in battle. 1 night, as we laid underneath the stars, I pondered if keeping Mudbray was the best thing for it. Matthew: -sigh- Ohh Muddy. I know you enjoy spending time with me. Mudbray: Mudbray Mud! Matthew: But… I can also tell that you yearn for a life of adventure and battling. And not the kind of battling I’ve been giving you these past couple of years. Mudbray: Mudbray bray? Matthew: Sometimes… Sometimes I wonder if I should just release you back into the wild. An actual Trainer can catch you and give you the life you deserve. The Mudbray walked over to me and plopped down beside me, laying its head on my lap. It then looked up at me with admiration. Then it leaped up onto its hooves, knocked me down, got on top of me and started to lick all over my face. I couldn’t help but laugh and feel better. That showed me that Mudbray would be by my side no matter what. It wanted to stay with me even if it meant it never would go on an adventure. I had to appreciate that and from then on, I never questioned whether or not if I should release it. A couple of weeks later, my mom wanted to talk to me about something. I was kind of excited for whatever she had to tell me. She seemed excited about this as well. The day came where she sat me down in the kitchen to tell me. Nancy: Alright Matthew. I have some good news. Matthew: Alright. What is it? Nancy: So I know we’ve lived here for most of our lives but… we’re gonna move! Matthew: We’re… moving? Nancy: Yes. Everything is already planned. We leave in 1 week. Matthew: Wait. You didn’t even ask me if I was alright with this? Nancy: Ohh come on honey. I thought you’d like it! I thought we’d go somewhere new and exciting. Doesn’t that sound great to you? Matthew: Well… I guess you’re right. Where we going anyways? Nancy: I think the Region’s called… Aevium. Matthew: The Aevium Region huh? Never heard of it. It does sound interesting though. Nancy: Yes. And I have another surprise for you. Matthew: What’s that? Nancy: They have a Pokemon League of their very own and I think you should sign up for it! Matthew: Huh…? But mom, you know that Pokemon- Well ok. MOST Pokemon don’t really like me for some reason. Why would I sign up for that? Nancy: I have a feeling you’ll be able to make Pokemon friends over there. And also real friends. Matthew: Yea… I suppose I don’t have many actual friends here. Should we get started packing up then? Nancy: Mhm. We’ll also be leaving by ship as well so prepare for a trip. Matthew: Ooo! A boat? I’ve always wanted to go on a ship before. Alright. Let’s get started then. Mom and I started at that exact moment picking up everything we could and putting them into boxes. I couldn’t help but feel overly excited. But I couldn’t help but think about how I would possibly take on this league I had just found out today. Wouldn’t Pokemon still treat me like they had here? I couldn’t let that stop me though. Throughout the next week, mom and I packed up everything we needed to start our new lives in the Aevium Region. The day we had to leave for the ship, we stopped outside of the house and looked up at it 1 last time. This was where I had spent all of my 18 years and now I was going somewhere else far away, I felt a little sad but I knew this was just a new chapter in my life. We got into the cab and it drove us to Castelia City. We waited there for the ship to arrive. Lukcily, we only had to wait for about 15 minutes before a ship came up to the docks. My mom, me and a couple of other people boarded the ship. Once on deck, I let out my Mudbray. It seemed so much happier out of its ball. Matthew: -chuckles- You like that better don’t you Muddy. Mudbray: Bray Mud Mud! Nancy: Are you sure its ok to let him out while on a ship? Surrounded by water? Matthew: Ohh don’t worry mom. He’s not gonna go by the edge of the boat. He’ll be fine. Nancy: Well I hope so. ???: Nancy? Is that you my dear? Mom and I looked in the direction we heard the voice coming from. Coming onto the deck was an old man in a proper sailor’s outfit. I could see the excitement on mother’s face. It took me a bit but then I finally recognized who it was. His name was Augustus. He was actually a captain of a ship but I never knew it was a ship like this. He came over the house a couple of times over the past couple of years and him and my mother would sit for hours talking about stuff. But the conversations would always end up with him taking about 1 of his many ship adventures. It was kind of cool that he would be the 1 driving this ship that my mom and I were on. Nancy: Augustus! How are you? Augustus: I am fine. The sea breeze makes this day a fine 1. And how are you and your son doing? Nancy: We’re doing fine. I feel like it’s been a while since we last saw you. Matthew: Yea. Missed ya old man. Nancy: Matthew! Augustus: -chuckles- Calm down dear. I take no offense to that. Ahh. And I see Muddy is here as well. Mudbray: Mudbray Mud! Augustus: It wouldn’t feel right to see you here without your trusted Pokemon Matthew. Matthew: Yea. Me and Muddy here have been through a lot. Augustus: So what brings you 2 here? Nancy: We’re moving to the Aevium Region! Matthew: Mhm. And I’m gonna sign up for the League here as well. Augustus: You are? That’s splendid! It saddened me to hear that you never went on a real Pokemon Adventure when you were younger. I’m happy you’ll be able to go on 1 here. Matthew: Yea. If the Pokemon here like me that is. Augustus: Ohh I’m sure they will. Nancy: Hey wait. Augustus, you were a trainer back in your day. Maybe you can tell Matthew some stuff about Aevium? Matthew: Yea! That’d be helpful. Augustus: Hmm… I will later. I think Matthew will find out a lot if information about Aevium when he signs up for the league here in the boat. Matthew: Wait. I’ll be signing up for the league on this boat? Augustus: Mhm. I can take you there if you’d like. Matthew: Hmm. After we saw our room. Nancy: Yes. I’d like to put some stuff away before exploring the rest of the boat. Augustus: Ohh! Yes! My apologies. My excitement over seeing the 2 of you here has made me completely forgotten to show you to your room. If you would, please follow me. We followed Augustus through the ship to get to our room. We only saw a portion of the ship so it was nice to see even more of it. It looked really awesome to be honest. We finally made it to our room that we would be staying at. Augustus opened the door and we all went inside. It was a small room but it looked very colorful. Mudbray and I checked the upper half of the room. We were having a blast. Matthew: Whoa. This room is awesome. Don’t you think so too Muddy? Mudbray: Mudbray! -nods head in agreement- Nancy: -chuckles- Ohh you 2 are such rascals. Augustus: I take it you approve of your room. Matthew: Hell yea! It’s great. Nancy: We love it. Thank you for showing us to the room Augustus. Augustus: No problem. I hate to leave since we just met up with each other but I must return back to the deck to make sure things are going smoothly. Nancy: Alright. Thanks again. Augustus: No problem. Ohh! Almost forgot. We should be docking in Gearen City tomorrow and we’ll be holding a feast to celebrate this voyage as well. I hope you 2 attend. Nancy: We will. Matthew: Are Pokemon allowed to be there? Augustus: Of course. Muddy is allowed to be there. Matthew: Good. Wouldn’t feel the same if he wasn’t there with me. Augustus: Ohh! Would you follow me Matthew? Matthew: To where? Augustus: I’m going to take you to the League registration. It’s actually not that far from your room actually. Matthew: Ohh! Awesome. Yea. Let’s go. Come on Muddy. Augustus: I’m afraid Muddy can’t accompany us. They do not allow Pokemon in there. Matthew: What? Well that’s dumb. Nancy: -chuckles- Don’t worry Matthew. I’ll watch over Muddy while you go register. Matthew: Alright. Thanks mom! -pets Muddy- See you in a bit buddy. Mudbray: Bray Mudbray. I walked down the steps and followed Augustus out the door. He was right. The registry area wasn’t that far from the room at all. It was literally just a couple of seconds away. The 2 of us walked into the area. There were a lot of computers in the room. I could see some potential up and coming trainers standing in front of them completing the registry to be able to partake in the Pokemon League for this Aevium Region. Augustus walked up to the clerk and told her that there would be another person registering for the League. She looked at me, smiled and pointed to a computer that was near me. Augustus wished me luck and exited the room. I stared at the computer screen. I don’t know why but I felt very nervous for doing this but I knew I had to do it. I pressed the red button on the keyboard. Suddenly, a girl’s face popped up on the screen, which honestly gave me a fright. Matthew: Ahh! ???: Hey. What are you screaming for? Matthew: Uhh… Sorry. I didn’t know signing up for the League meant video chatting with someone… Although, that explains why some of the other people in this room are talking to the computer screens, now that I think about it. ???: -chuckles- So, to start off this whole registration process, what’s your name? Matthew: It’s Matthew. What’s yours? Amanda: Ohh! I nearly forgot. I get so excited to do this that I sometimes forget to introduce myself. Well my name is Amanda. I’m a scout for the Aevium Pokemon League. Matthew: A scout? Amanda: Yea. I help guide new trainers at the start of their adventure. Matthew: Ahh. I see. That’s helpful really. Amanda: So do you know anything about the Aevium Pokemon League. Matthew: Not really. Except that it exists. Amanda: Ooo! I get to give you the whole rundown then. Where should I start? Hmm… Ahh yes. So I assume wherever you’re coming from that you challenged 8 Gyms and had an Elite 4 right? Matthew: I mean… Yes but I never went on a journey before this 1. Amanda: Wait. This is gonna be your 1st actual adventure? Matthew: If I can actually even start that is… Amanda: …I’m assuming that’s personal so I won’t pry into your personal life. Anyways, The Aevium League is set up a little bit differently than other regions. There are 18 Gyms and instead of an Elite 4, we have an Elite 8. Matthew: There’s a… WHAT?! That’s insane! But also sounds fun. Amanda: That’s what I like to hear. Alright. Now we need to get your information down for your League Card. Now I don’t want you to feel insulted by me asking this but I have to. Are you a boy or a girl? Matthew: Really? You can’t tell by just looking at me? Amanda: I know! It’s weird but we have to be a little more careful with this. We used to just go off based on looks buuuut then this 1 person identified as a boy even though they looked like a girl, they threatened to sue us for that… It was a big mess. So now we’re required to ask this despite if what you look like is obvious. Matthew: Alright. Alright. I understand. I am a male. Amanda: Alright. Let me type that in. Aaannnd there we go. Matthew correct? Just making sure. Matthew: Yes. I am Matthew. Amanda: Ooook. And your age? Matthew: I am 18 years old. Amanda: 18 huh? We usually get people that are a little younger but that’s alright. I think you’ll make for an interesting trainer anyways. Matthew: Why’s that? Amanda: Ohh. It’s just a feeling. Anyways, that’ll do for your Trainer Card! Once the S.S. Oceana docks tomorrow, meet me at Gearen Laboratory. From there on, you’ll pick your starter Pokemon and then you’ll be on your way to great things! Do you have any questions before I sign off? Matthew: Hmm… Ohh! Actually I do. Is it ok if I have a Pokemon with me already? Amanda: Of course! We don’t discriminate against Pokemon brought from other regions. Just understand that you will still need to choose a Starter Pokemon. Matthew: Ok. That’s fine with me. When do I get my Trainer Card by the way? Amanda: As soon as I log off, the receptionist in the room will give it to you. Then tomorrow, you’ll have to get it verified and then you’ll be officially recognized as being registered for the Aevium Region! Matthew: Sweet. This is awesome. Thank you Amanda. You’ve been very helpful. Amanda: Me? Helpful? HA! It’s been a while since someone’s told me that. But thank you Matthew. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow. See you! With that, the screen went to black. I did as Amanda had instructed me to do and walked up to the receptionist that was behind the desk. I told her my name and she went to a computer she had on the other side of the desk. I watched as she pressed buttons and a card popped out of it. She grabbed and handed it over to me. I had my Trainer Card which means I was 1 step closer to being registered for the Aevium League. I thanked her and exited the room. When I got out, I could see mom and Muddy there waiting for me. I walked up to them and showed them my Trainer Card. Nancy: Ohh Matthew. I’m so proud of you for taking this step. Matthew: Thanks mom. This is the 1st step to starting my adventure. Nancy: It sure is sweetheart. Matthew: -yawns- I’m tired. We should probably get some sleep soon. Nancy: Yes. Soon. Walk with me a little bit. I want to show you where we’re gonna have the banquet tomorrow before we get to Gearen City. Matthew: Alright. Mom led me and Mudbray to the front doors of the banquet room. I couldn’t explain it but I was getting a very exciting feeling just standing there, staring at those doors. Nancy: This is where it will be held tomorrow. Matthew: -chuckles with excitement- This is gonna be awesome. Nancy: It is? Hmm. You’re not usually 1 to be excited for these kinds of things. Matthew: I know. It’s weird for me too but… I can’t help it. I feel so giddy. Nancy: -chuckles- I’m glad. Matthew, when we wake up tomorrow, we will officially be in the Aevium region. Matthew: Ahhh! This is awesome! Right Muddy? Mudbray: Mud Mudbray! Nancy: Hey hey! Not so loud right now. People are trying to get some sleep. Matthew: -chuckles- Sorry mom. Let’s go back to our room and go to sleep. The sooner I fall asleep, the sooner it’ll be tomorrow. Nancy: Yes. I agree with you. Mom, me and Mudbray then walked back to our room. Mother took the bed upstairs while me and Mudbray took the couches on the lower floor. She had tried making me sleep on the bed but I thought it’d be best for her to have the bed to herself. As I laid there on the couch, I couldn’t stop thinking about how Aevium was gonna be and what the Pokemon there were gonna be like. POKEMON TEAM! CHARACTER RATES! TIME SPENT IN AEVIUM!

Here's an interesting question for the 3 of you. When the game is complete or near completion or... well anytime really, would any 3 of you ever livestream this game or like make a playthrough of it? It'd be kind of cool to hear what you guys thought of certain scenes or the Pokemon you chose for a certain area or whatever as you play through the game. I feel like it won't happen but hey. Miracles happen right?

Ok. Now that I'm out of work, I can actually do this. @Amethyst @Jan @Caz Y'all make some of the greatest Pokemon Fan Made Games out there and I can't thank you enough for them. @Candy @Q-Jei You both make some of the best fan-fics (I would say Story Written Runs but this just sounds nicer) I've seen on here and I can't wait to see the rest of them. @DerogatoryTrainer I know it's been a while since you done a reaction nuzlocke run to both Reborn/Rejuvenation but dude. I fucking laugh for like hours just reading yours. I can't wait to see you continue them and to bring more joy to me... despite maybe bringing misery to yourself... @MegaMew 1st time I've ever been a part of a Pokemon Fan Made Game so I thank you so much for letting me be apart of this awesome game. Can't wait til when the whole game is done and the awesomeness of Enigma is out for everyone to play and witness! Also can't wait to talk more plot with you about the game! @The Swordsman You're a pretty awesome person and if it weren't for you, my Rejuvenation Bug Mono Type Run playthrough & James and & Bonnie fan-fics probably wouldn't bee happening right now. You are great at doing sprites my friend! @Anyone who has watched my videos on YouTube. You! Yes you are awesome!

Thanks! And hmm. Idk. You may be onto something.~

I’ve always wanted to go on a Pokemon Adventure of my own but I never really felt like any Pokemon that I came across ever really liked me enough to become apart of my team. It always made me feel… I don’t know. Different. And not in a good way. I felt like I was kicked out of being a Trainer without anyone actually saying it to me. I felt unwanted by Pokemon. The day I was supposed to start my journey, I was 10 years old. Just like any other 10 year old, I was super excited for getting my 1st Pokemon and starting my adventure. My mother accompanied me going to Professor Juniper’s lab. Ohh. I also used to live in the Unova Region with just my mother. Her name is Nancy. Anyways, when I got there, Professor Juniper greeted us with a big smile on her face. She could see the eagerness on my face of meeting the 3 starter Pokemon. Professor Juniper: Well hello there Matthew. Matthew: Hi Juniper! Professor Juniper: Are you ready to pick your starter Pokemon? Matthew: Mhm! Nancy: You should have seen him last night. He couldn’t stop talking about today. Professor Juniper: -chuckles- I don’t blame him. I would be too if I was at his age. Well would you 2 please wait here a moment? I need to go get the PokeBalls. Nancy: Yes. Matthew: Yes but hurry please! Professor Juniper: I will. Professor Juniper headed to the back of the lab to get the PokeBalls that contained the starters. A couple of minutes passed and she came back into the room with a weird mechanical box with 3 PokeBalls inside. She set them on the table. She pressed a button on the device. It opened up, she took the PokeBalls and threw them up into the air. All 3 of the Pokemon popped out of their PokeBalls and landed right in front of us. I was so excited to see them. I’ve already seen them in person from a distance or on tv but it was a different feeling when you were going to actually own 1 of them. Juniper came up beside me and introduced me to them. Professor Juniper: I’m sure you know their names already but please allow me to introduce you to them. This is Oshawott, the Water Type Pokemon. This little guy here is Tepig. That’s a Fire Type Pokemon. And this 1 here is Snivy. It’s a Grass Type Pokemon. So go on. Choose your starter. Matthew: Yes! Hmm… I thought about it long and hard. I finally made my decision. I was going over to Snivy to choose it. It looked me up and down and then it turned around and seemed to just pretend I wasn’t there. I was quite confused. Juniper and my mom seemed confused as well. Matthew: W… Why is it doing that? Professor Juniper: I’m not entirely sure. We have these Pokemon interact with humans everyday so they’re more comfortable with them. Nancy: So this has never happened before? Professor Juniper: No. Never. This Snivy is actually very affectionate towards people as well. So this behavior is highly strange. Nancy: Umm… Maybe choose 1 of the other 2 hun. Matthew: Ok… I was disappointed that this Snivy didn’t accept me as its trainer but there were still 2 other starters for me to choose from. After thinking again, I went over to Tepig. I went to go pet it. It sniffed my hand for a couple of seconds and it too turned around and seemed to pretend that I wasn’t there. I was getting frustrated and upset. I LOVE Pokemon. I always wanted 1 since I was a very small child and now the day I was supposed to get 1, they were just being mean to me. I was trying to not cry but tears were welling up in my eyes. My mother took out a tissue and wiped my eyes. Matthew: I don’t get it. Did I do something wrong? Nancy: Impossible. You just got here sweetie and they have never seen you before. Professor Juniper: This makes no sense. We had them interact with humans so we could evade this exact situation. Matthew: Oshawott? Oshawott: Osha…? Oshawott. -turns away from me- Matthew: -starts tearing up and sniffling- It… It did the same thing. Professor Juniper: Snivy! Tepig! Oshawott! What do you 3 think you’re doing?! The 3 Pokemon looked up at the Professor but didn’t seem to care that their actions at that point was hurting my feelings. My mom came over and gave me a hug. Professor Juniper also consoled me. She felt horrible about the whole situation. She told me to stay there for a minute. She returned the 3 Pokemon back to their balls, put them back into the device and went to the back of the lab. We waited and she came back with 1 PokeBall. Matthew: 1 PokeBall? Professor Juniper: We have a Pokemon here that’s never been used before. It always seems to want to go on an adventure. Since the other 3 for some reason don’t want to go with you, I’m afraid we have to resort to this. I hope you don’t mind. Matthew: -wipes tears away from my eyes- I-I don’t mind. Nancy: What is it? Professor Juniper: You’ll see. Alright! Come on out Lillipup! Juniper threw the PokeBall up into the air and out came the Lillipup. I could already tell that it did have that urge to go on an adventure which made me feel better. I ran over to the little dog Pokemon to pick it up and hug it. But when I came close up to it, it looked at me, turned its back at me and returned back inside of its PokeBall. Everyone was shocked. Matthew: I… don’t understand. Nancy: Why are they doing this? My boy loves Pokemon. He would never do anything to hurt them. Professor Juniper: I don’t… I… This makes no sense. I have no clue what is going on. Never in all my years of doing this has something like this occurred. Matthew: -starts tearing up again- Pokemon… Pokemon don’t like me… Nancy: Nonsense hunny! You know Sylveon loves you. Matthew: Yea but… that’s your Pokemon. I want my own Pokemon. Professor Juniper: I don’t know what to do. That’s all we have… I’m so sorry Nancy. And to you especially Matthew. Nancy: It’s ok Juniper. It’s not your fault. Matthew: …Come on mom. Let’s go home. Nancy: What? But don’t you want- Matthew: What’s the point? They don’t want me as their Trainer… Might as well go home and just stay there. Professor Juniper: Matthew… Nancy: Well… I think we should go now. Professor Juniper: Yes. I completely understand. Try to have a good day you 2. Matthew: Yea… Bye. And with that, me and mom left the lab. No Pokemon and no adventure. I was very sad. As soon as we got home, I laid on the couch and cried. My mom and her Sylveon tried their best to cheer me up but nothing worked. I was sad throughout the whole day. We tried the whole week for me to get a starter but no matter what Pokemon was in front of me, they would do the same thing. Turn around and pretend to not notice me. I didn’t want to face the reality but it seemed as though my Pokemon Adventure would never happen. For the next 4 years, I stayed at home. It became more obvious to me through out those 4 years that Pokemon for some reason just did not like me, unless they were already owned by another Trainer. Then they seemed to be alright with me. Professor Juniper tried to figure the reason for this but she was unable to come up with an answer for that. By that point though, I had already accepted that no Pokemon would want to be caught by me. Throughout those years however, I could feel some kind of anger come up from inside of me. But I could never let it out for some reason. It was weird but I never let it bother me that much. 1 day, my mom and I were coming back home from the store. We walked past an alleyway and could hear some people yelling at something. Mother and I decided to sneakily go down there and see what was going on. When we reached the end, we could see some people using their Pokemon bully what seemed to be a Mudbray. It was rare to see 1 here in Unova. I didn’t like seeing Mudbray be in such pain and being scared. Mom hadn’t brought her Sylveon with us so we couldn’t battle them. For some reason though, I revealed myself to the group. Matthew: Hey! Stop hurting that Mudbray! Male Bully: Hmm. Well what do we have here. A little weakling trying to save another huh? Female Bully: What are you doing here kid? Get going before we hurt you. Nancy: Matthew! We can’t take them on! We don’t have Sylveon here with us remember?! Matthew: But… That Mudbray… Male Bully: No Pokemon huh? That makes things here interesting. Female Bully: Ursaring! Shiftry! Focus on them! Nancy: Ohh no! The 2 strong looking Pokemon turned their gaze from the hurt Mudbray to me and my mother. I admit that I felt bad for getting ourselves into this situation especially with no way to protect ourselves. But that anger I felt for the past couple of years started to take hold of me. That scary feeling I was feeling just mere seconds ago was now gone and all I could feel was this unyielding rage. But again, I could not release it for some reason. Mother looked at me and could see the complete anger that was written all over my face. She was shocked at the expression. Nancy: M… Matthew? Female Bully: Oooo. Soooo scary. The boy can make an angry face. Male Bully: Is that supposed to intimidate us or something? That’s just pissing me the fuck off. Matthew: Mother… Nancy: Y-Yes? Matthew: May I… let it out? Nancy: Let loose your emotions? Female Bully: Alright. This is starting to get ridiculous. Male Bully: Get ready to beat them up you 2! Matthew: Mother! Nancy: Uhh… Y-Yes! Matthew: -thinking to myself- How strange… Now it feels like I can actually let all of this anger out. This will be interesting. I calmly walked up to the 2 bullies. They had a smug loom on their face, stepped back and their Ursaring and Shiftry stepped up in front. They looked at me ready to attack. My mom didn’t know what I was doing. She tried to pull me back but the Shiftry fired off a Razor Leaf attack directed at her. She closed her eyes waiting for the attack to hit her but nothing happened. She slowly opened her eyes and was shocked but also horrified to see me have somehow caught all of the leaves… Although, some of them were in my flesh. But I couldn’t feel the pain right now. All I could feel was the rage within my body. The 2 bullies looked on in utter shock and confusion. The male bully commanded the Ursaring to use Mega Punch on me. The massive bear Pokemon ran up to me, made his hand into a fist and launched the attack. Everyone’s eyes widened with even more shock when I stopped the attack with just my hand. I looked up at the beast with a smile. However, it was a demented smile of sorts. 1 that just wanted to hurt people. Male Bully: What the… What the hell is wrong with this kid?! Matthew: What’s wrong with me? Nothing at all. Your Pokemon here though… Well… I made a fist with my free hand and punched the Ursaring in the stomach. The attack sent the bear Pokemon flying backwards until it hit the wooden fence behind the bullies. No 1 could believe what they just saw. Me, a 14 year old boy, was somehow able to not only take 2 fairly strong attacks but I was able to knock out a Pokemon. Female Bully: That’s… impossible! H-How did you do that?! Matthew: Honestly? I have no idea. But I haven’t been able to release all of this rage I’ve had in me for the last couple of years. Until now that is. Nancy: Is it… really because I gave you the go ahead to “let it out?” Matthew: Seems to be the only answer I have. But for now… I have matters to attend to. -starts walking towards the bullies- Male Bully: N-No! Stay back! Or else! Matthew: You just saw me punch a fully evolved Ursaring in the gut and knock it out. You think your empty threats are gonna scare me? Female Bully: Grrrr! Shiftry, Feint Attack! The Pokemon obeyed the command that it was given and tried to land the attack. However, I was able to block it and kick it with massive power. It too was sent back flying towards the wooden fence, knocked out as soon as it hit it. The 2 bullies decided that they would try to get their hands dirty instead. With a swift uppercut though, I was able to knocked the young man off of his feet and slam down onto the ground, totally knocked out. The young woman stood there but she had a grin on her face for some reason. Female Bully: -laughs- Well, that was interesting to see. But I’m afraid this whole freak show ends here. Matthew: And why is that? Female Bully: Well you are a boy and I am a girl. You honestly think you’re gonna- Urgh! W-Wha- Matthew: Yea. I don’t care that you’re a girl. You’ll take a beating too. Nancy: Matthew… No… My Arceus… The young woman thought that I wouldn’t hit hurt simply because she was a girl but she was literally sorely mistaken. With a punch to the gut and a kick to the chest, the girl flew backwards, hitting the ground with a loud thud. And with that, not only were myself and mother safe but so was the Mudbray. The Donkey Pokemon slowly got onto its feet, walked over to me and nuzzled my hand. As if it was wanting me to pet it. This was the 1st time ever that a Pokemon had come up to me and not turn its back on me. The feeling of anger I had felt before was now residing and I could feel the happiness coming back within me. My mother came running up to me, hugging me with tears in her eyes. Nancy: Matthew! What… What was that? Matthew: I… don’t know. I’ve always had that anger feeling inside of me since I was 10 but I was never able to let it out for whatever reason. Nancy: Was it really because I gave you permission though that you were able to do all… this? Matthew: I guess so. I’ve never been able to release it before until now. Nancy: Well I’m gonna make sure that something like this never happens again. Matthew: But mom, I… Oogh… Nancy: Hmm? Matt! What is it?! Matthew: I don’t feel so… goo- Nancy: Matt! I felt my body go limp. I was falling to the ground but I could feel something stop me from falling but after that, I didn’t remember a thing. The next thing I remember was waking up in my room in my own bed. I pondered on if what I experienced was just a dream. But the bandages on my arm confirmed it for me that everything that happened was indeed real. I got up from my bed and went downstairs. Nobody was there so I decided check the backyard. Mom loved her garden. She was usually back there most of the time, working on her garden. My instinct was correct as when I opened the door, I could see my mom digging up the dirt and putting in flower seeds and covering the holes. She turned around and could see me on the porch. She ran up to me and gave me a hug. The 2 of us then sat down. Nancy: I’m so glad you’re awake Matt. Matthew: How long have I been out for? Nancy: 4 days. Matthew: 4 days?! Nancy: Yes. You gave me quite a scare. After that whole ordeal though, I’m not surprised you’ve been out for this long. Matthew: I remember feeling my body go limp and falling to the ground and then something stopping me. But after that, I don’t remember a thing. Nancy: Not much happened after that. I had you carried back here, I bandaged up your arm and laid you into bed so you can heal from your injuries. Matthew: Wait. How did you get me back here? No offense but you’re not strong enough to carry a limp body back to the house. It’s almost an hour away where we were! Nancy: Well luckily for me and you, we had some help. Mom whistled out loud. In seconds, I could hear something running towards us. Out further in the garden, I could see a figure coming closer and closer to us. When it got closer, I could see what it was and it made me smile. It was the Mudbray that was getting bullied from the other day. It ran up onto the porch and instantly tackled me onto the ground, rubbing its head on mine and in my hands. I was glad to see that it was ok but I didn’t know why it was still here. Matthew: -chuckles- Ok Mudbray. I’m happy to see you too. Mudbray: Mudbray Mud! Matthew: I’m surprised to see you here though. Nancy: Ohh yes! Mudbray here actually caught you before you hit the ground. It offered to help carry you back to the house despite it too being injured. But I helped it get better. It’s all healed up. Matthew: But why is it still here? I thought it’d go back to the wild by now. Nancy: Well… this might sound crazy but I think it appreciates you saving it that day. I think… I think it wants to stay with us. Well, more like with you. Matthew: It does? Do you really think so? Nancy: I do. It’s been by your side almost 24/7 since you fainted. I think you found a really good partner here. Matthew: -chuckles that leads into teary eyed laughs- Mudbray… do you want to be my Pokemon? Mudbray: -shakes its head yes- Bray Mud Mud! Matthew: -wipes tears away from my eyes- Ohh! I got the perfect ball for you buddy. I ran into the house and up the stairs in my bedroom and looked around in 1 of my drawers and finally found the PokeBall I wanted to have my 1st Pokemon in. I rushed back downstairs where Mudbray was patiently waiting for my return. I pulled out the ball, which was a Friend Ball. Matthew: Alright buddy. You ready? Mudbray: Mudbray! -shakes head yes- Matthew: Ohh wait! Before that, let’s give you a nickname. Hmm… How about… Muddy. Do you like that name? Mudbray: Mudbray Mudbray! Matthew: -chuckles- Good. Alright Muddy. Here we go. I took the Friend Ball and gently bopped the top of the head of Mudbray. The Pokemon went inside of the ball. It shook for a couple of seconds but then stopped, which signaled that the capture was a success. I looked down at the ball smiling. I finally had a Pokemon of my own. It wanted to be around me. I was so happy. But it was about to be less happy when my mom spoke to me. Nancy: Ohh hunny! I’m so glad you caught your very 1st Pokemon. Honestly, I think you 2 will make a very good team. Matthew: Thanks mom. I think we will too. Nancy: But… we can’t ignore what happened the other day. We do need to talk about it. Matthew: Yea… I know. Nancy: What happened out there? None of that made ANY sense! You were able to defeat 2 fully evolved Pokemon AND they were pretty powerful! Matthew: I know. I have no clue how that happened though. I just… All that anger from years of not having a Pokemon I guess caught up to me but- Nancy: But you never let it out until I gave you permission to let it out. Why? Matthew: I have no clue mom. I have no idea. Nancy: -sighs- Well all I know is that I’m never gonna have you do that ever again. Matthew: What?! But what if something like that happens again?! Nancy: We’ll get out of it but in a different way. What you did was scary Matt. And you beat up a young woman. Not saying she didn’t deserve it but… Well you know. Matthew: I know. I have no idea what came over me. But I can’t lie… It felt really damn good to get that out. But something tells me that that feeling will surface again. Nancy: And we’ll make sure that it won’t ever happen again. I promise you it won’t. Matthew: Well ok… If you say so. -thinking to myself- I still think if it’s needed again though that it should be allowed. Although, I wonder. Does it have to be mom or can anyone give me permission and it happens? POKEMON TEAM!
