@Maqqy In case you still wanna see that Yanmega slaughter. That's right. I remember you wanting to see this! It happens more towards the end of the episode though.

I had to hold back tears as I walked back to my house. I didn’t want anyone to see me crying. But my best friend died and my mind was going all over the place. I finally made it back home. As I opened the door, I could hear the tv playing and it was covering what had happened to me and Taka. The whole thing played in my head again with the Bisharp decapitating Taka’s Garchomp to it then slicing into Taka’s stomach. I couldn’t hold it in anymore and crumbled to the floor sobbing. Mother noticed this and ran over and consoled me. Matthew: -sobbing- I… I couldn’t s-save him! Mom: Matt! It’s ok! It’ll be ok! Matthew: How?! My best friend is dead! His Garchomp is dead! How is any of this gonna be ok!? Mom: I… I don’t know! But I know he wouldn’t want you to be like this! Matthew: I just… I couldn’t stop him… After he saw his Garchomp be… be… killed like that… he just ran up and the thing just stabbed him through his stomach… and raised him up in the air as like a prize that he just killed… If it wasn’t for Krep, I’d be dead too. Mom: Matt… I know this is hard but they didn’t say anything after all that happened. You were there. What happened afterwards? Matthew: -sniffs- Umm… These 2 people dressed in weird clothing came and took the Bisharp away… Apparently it was theirs. Mom: Ahh… I see. I’m just glad you’re ok. Matthew: I wish Taka was… He was gonna give me a gift today. Mom: A gift? Matthew: Yea… Apparently, his Garchomp… had a baby and he was gonna give me the baby Gible… Mom: Ohh my… I can only imagine how it’s feeling right now. Matthew: Yea… Actually, maybe it’s best if bring it out now. Maybe being around us will make it better. I took out the Master Ball and let Gible out. Mom seemed surprised that I had used the Master Ball on the Gible. Mom: The Master Ball? That’s what the former Champion gave you for beating him right? Matthew: Yea… I thought this Gible deserved it… It’s probably obvious but this Gible’s name is Taka. Mom: I figured you would. I think it fits though. Matthew: Thanks. The Gible looked at the 2 of us and started to tear up. We all embraced in a hug. Matthew: Mom… I don’t think I can go. Mom: What? Matthew: I can’t… I can’t go to Aevium. Mom: I know what happened today is tragic but you have to go whether you like it or not. Matthew: What do you mean I have to go whether I like it or not?! I can make my own choices! And I’m choosing not to go there! Now excuse me! I’m gonna go the fuck to sleep! I stormed upstairs and laid in bed. I just wanted this all to be a fucked up dream and then wake up and be able to go over his house and see him. But it wasn’t. It was reality. My best friend was gone and there was nothing I could do about it. It sucked. I closed my eyes for a while and was somehow able to fall asleep. Soon afterwards, I started to have dreams. Dreams of what transpired that day. Over and over I would see Taka and his Garchomp be killed. It was horrifying. Matthew: N-No… Taka! Please! I swiftly sat up on my bed. Sweat was running down my face. The dreams were too much for me. Gible walked up to me and rubbed its head on my leg. Gible: Gib Gib Gible. Matthew: I’m sorry if I woke you up from your sleep Taka. Gible: Gible Gib! Matthew: Are you doing ok? The little Gible looked sad but then seemed like it was trying to put on a brave face for me. I slightly smiled at it and picked it up putting it onto my bed. I appreciated it for trying to be tough for me but there wasn’t gonna be anything that could help me through this. At least not so quick. ???: Go… You… Must… Go… Matthew: Huh? Who was that? I swore I could have heard a voice just then. I looked around my room but couldn’t see anything that could have talked to me. I figured it was just me being tired and upset. I laid back down and tried to sleep. The next day, I woke up. I didn’t really wanna do anything today but I had to do something to not think about yesterday. So I got dressed and just started to walk around the city. I didn’t know what to do. My want to go on this new adventure to Aevium was completely gone. I couldn’t believe that my mom said that I had to go. To hell with that. I was old enough to be on my own. I could do whatever I wanted. The walking wasn’t doing anything so I decided to just go back home. I did the same thing for the next couple of days and soon, it had been a week since Taka’s death. My relationship with my mother had went down since then too because I refused to go to the Aevium Region with her when the time would come. However, each day, I swear I could hear someone’s voice. It sounded familiar but I couldn’t exactly tell who it was. I went to sleep and soon was fast asleep. I started to have the dream again with the Bisharp and stuff but this time was different. It was just me there and the Bisharp. The Bisharp rushed up to me and I was staring face to face with it. Out of nowhere, Taka and Garchomp came and started to fight the Bisharp. I was shocked because they were actually putting up a fight this time. Taka seemed to give orders for his Garchomp to fight it alone for a bit and then he came over to me. Taka: Matthew! What are you doing?! Matthew: I… What? What do you mean? Taka: You have got to snap out of this funk dude. It’s not good for you. Matthew: But… you’re dead. How am I supposed to be right now? Taka: Ok. Fair point but I think you know what I’m getting at. Matthew: Are you talking about Aevium? I’m not going there. I can’t. Taka: Why? Because I’m not here anymore? Matthew: It’s just… as soon as I found out about that, that thing with that weird fucking Bisharp happened and now you’re… and your Garchomp are- Taka: That’s no reason to give up Matt. This is your fucking dream. You can’t give that up. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself… Well… You get what I mean! Matthew: That’s kind of dark isn’t it? Taka: Maybe but that’s not the point. You need to go on this journey so you can have that adventure you always wanted… and to make friends. Matthew: Make more friends? But- Taka: Hey. Me and you? We’ll always be best friends and I’ll always be there for you. But you NEED this. Matthew: I… I’m not sure. Taka: Come on man. Tell me the truth. Do you honestly not want to go on that adventure of yours? Matthew: I mean… I do. But you just died man! I can’t just forget about that! Taka: I’m not asking you to forget about it! Matthew: Then what are you trying to tell me?! Taka: Follow your heart! Follow your dreams! Go on that fucking adventure! Meet new people! You do not want to just give that up because of me! Matthew: I guess… I guess you’re right… Taka: You’re Arceus damn right I am! But I know a way for you to get it into your brain. Garchomp! Move out of the way! The Garchomp did as it was told and stopped fighting the Bisharp. The oddly colored Bisharp appeared right before me and looked at me with intense eyes. I did the same thing. I had no idea what Taka was up to though. What was he up to? I would find out soon enough. Matthew: What… What are you- Taka: You have to defeat it Matt. Matthew: Defeat it?! Taka: Yes! If you defeat it, this whole ordeal will be a lot more easier to get through! Matthew: I… Are you sure?! Taka: I’m your best friend man! Of course I’m sure! Now show that fucker who’s boss! I looked back up to Bisharp. The Pokemon tried to stab me with its sharp arms but I was able to stop it. I was able to punch it in the face, making it stagger back a bit. A slight grin could be shown on its face. The 2 of us charged each other and the fight ensued. Many cuts were all over my body but I was able to get some pretty good kicks and punches on it as well. The fight was coming down to its last seconds. I made the Bisharp fall onto its back and I quickly hopped on top of it and started to repeatedly punch it in its face. I did this for a little bit until I started to lose strength in my arms. I got up and looked down at the Bisharp. It was completely knocked out. I felt satisfied with myself. I turned around and saw Taka and his Garchomp starting to fade. Matthew: Taka! Taka: Heh. Nice job bud. You’ll feel better when you wake up. Matthew: So… this is it then? Taka: Yes… It’s time for me to go. Garchomp: -roars- Taka: Yea yea. And you too. Ohh. Speaking of which, I appreciate you taking that baby Gible. I’m sure it’ll be of great use to you throughout your journey. Matthew: Yea. I’m sure it will. And Garchomp, I promise to take good care of it and make it the best Garchomp it can be someday! I’ll make sure to tell it that you love it as well! Garchomp: Garchomp! Taka: Thank you Matt. I’ll be seeing you. -completely vanishes along with Garchomp- Matthew: Good bye Taka. I’ll see ya someday. Soon, everything went black. I didn’t know where I was. I opened my eyes and shot up in my bed. I looked all over my body. The cuts and stab wounds from that fight with the Bisharp weren’t there. I was relieved. But I also felt better about what had happened. I was still saddened about Taka’s death but I realized that I couldn’t cancel my adventure just because of his passing. That wouldn’t be right for either of us. Still, I sort of couldn’t believe all of that happened. Matthew: That… was the weirdest dream ever. But I’m glad I had it. Ohh yea. Hey Taka? Gible: Gible Gib? Matthew: Your mom says she loves you. Gible: -starts to tear up- Gible… I hugged the little land shark Pokemon as it had a good cry. I was glad I was able to give it a message from its mother. After a while of that, it stopped and looked up at me with a smile. Looked like Gible was also starting to feel better. This was good for both of us. I knew I had to go find my mom and make up to her. I hadn’t been treating her right. I went downstairs and saw mom in the kitchen. I went up to her and hugged her. Mom: Ohh? What’s this for? Matthew: I’m sorry mom. Mom: -returns the hug- It’s alright son. I understand. Matthew: I shouldn’t have treated you like this. Mom: It’s ok. Really. I forgive you. Matthew: I’m ready to go on my adventure when it’s time to leave for Aevium. Mom: That’s great hun. But how did you come to that decision? Matthew: I… had a very good dream last night. Mom: Ohh really? What happened? We both sat down and I told what happened in it. She seemed quite amazed at what I had told her. I waited for her response after I got done telling her the story. Mom: My. Even in death, he’s still looking out for you. Matthew: Yea… He is. Couldn’t ask for a better friend. Mom: Well This is the last week we’ll be here in Unova. Matthew: Yea… it will. But Aevium will be even more awesome! The League better be prepared for me! Because I’m coming for them!

For the next 2 weeks, I was thinking about this trip to Aevium. I was excited and anxious because I’d be starting another journey throughout this mysterious region. But at the same time, I’d be very far away from my best friend and would barely ever get to see him. This had been on my mind throughout all that time. I had been acting a bit different whenever I was at work with Taka. He could definitely tell something was wrong with me. Taka: Hey Matt. Are you ok? Matthew: Huh? Ohh. Yea. I am. Taka: You sure? You’ve been acting different for the past 2 weeks now. Matthew: What? No. Everything’s fine. Maybe you’re just thinking too much into it. Taka: I know you dude. Something’s up. Tell me. Matthew: -sighs- I’ll tell you ok? Just not right now. It doesn’t feel right just saying it at work. Taka: Well we got tomorrow off. Why don’t you come over to hang out and tell me about whatever is bothering you then? Matthew: Yea. That’s a good idea. Let’s get back to work though. It’s been too long of a day. Taka: Yea. You’re right. Today has been a tough 1. We spent the rest of the day just working, clearing the trees out of the way. Near the end of the work session, our boss came by to see how work was doing. He seemed really impressed with how well everything seemed to be going and how we were doing. Be fore he left, I pulled him to the side and told him the situation about me moving to another region. While he was sad about me leaving, he could see that I was very excited about going onto another Pokemon journey. He then informed me that since this project that was going on now only needed a half a day’s work to be completed, I wouldn’t have to worry about coming back to work for the rest of my time in Unova. We shook hands and he went on his way. Taka noticed me coming back from having the talk with our boss. Well former boss for me now. Taka: Hey. What was that all about? Matthew: Ehh… Nothing… I’m not gonna be working here anymore. Taka: What?! Matthew: Yea. Today is my last day. Taka: Why the fuck did he fire you?! That son of a- Matthew: Whoa whoa. Chill man. He didn’t fire me. Taka: What? Then why are you- Matthew: It all has to do with what I have to talk to you about tomorrow. You can wait right? Taka: I… -sigh- Fine. Better be a damn good reason though. We high-fived each other and went on our way home. I felt bad for making him wait for my explanation for not working with him anymore but I thought it’d be better to wait for tomorrow when we hung out. When I walked in the door, mother was watching tv. Mom: Well hello there son. How was work? Matthew: It was alright. Today’s my last day working there. Mom: Ahh. So you told the boss what’s going on? Matthew: Yea. He seemed sad about it but he was nice about it. Mom: Well that’s good. Matthew: I’m gonna go over Taka’s house tomorrow and tell him about what’s going on too. Mom: I’m surprised you haven’t old him sooner. Matthew: Well he asked me today. Told him that tomorrow when we hang out I’ll tell him what’s going on. Mom: Well it’s probably a good idea. Matthew: I just hope it all goes well. I’m kind of afraid he’ll denounce me as his best friend because of this. Mom: Ohh that’s nonsense. I’m sure he’ll understand. Matthew: Yea. I hope you’re right. Well I’m gonna go up to bed. Good night mom. Mom: Good night Matt.~ The next morning, I woke up and got ready to go over Taka’s house. As I started walking over, I started to think how he’d take the news about me moving very far away from here. I was hoping everything would be ok. When I got there, I knocked on his door. Taka: -opens the door- Come on in dude. Matthew: Thanks. Your dad home. Taka: Naw. He won’t be home til like tonight. So we got the whole house to ourselves today. Matthew: Sweet. Taka: Let’s go into the kitchen and get a drink. I followed Taka into the kitchen and sat down as he got me and himself a glass of soda. He came back over and slid the glass over to me. I took a sip if it and then looked over to him. He was staring at me. I knew what he wanted. Taka: Alright. So spill it man. What’s going on? You’ve been acting weird for the past 2 weeks and you don’t have a job anymore. Matthew: So a couple of nights ago, my mom had a talk with me. She told me that we’re gonna be moving to another region by the end of the month. Taka: Really? That’s it? That’s why you’ve been acting so weird? Matthew: Well I mean it’s not like I’m moving to Kanto or even Alola. I’ve never even heard of this region before. Taka: What’s the name of it? Matthew: The Aevium region. Taka: Aevium? That’s a weird name. Matthew: That’s what I said! But the bad thing is that we have to go there by boat and it’s take 2 days to get there. Taka: Ohh… So basically we wouldn’t be able to see each other as much as we both thought then? Matthew: Yea… Taka:… I know there’s 1 more thing you ain’t telling me. Matthew: What? How do you know? Taka: You’d be more upset if that was it. Something else is going on that you’re not all that mad about moving there. Matthew: Alright. You got me. When I get there, I’ll be going on a Pokemon journey. But this place has 18 Gym Leader and an Elite 8 instead of an Elite 4. Taka: Wow. Really? Well… that’s freaking awesome! Matthew: It is? Taka: Yea man! You know how many times you’ve been whining about wanting to go on a difficult Pokemon adventure? Sounds like you’ll finally be going on 1. Matthew: I guess you are. But… aren’t you upset? Taka: Well yea. It’s gonna suck not having you around anymore but I know you’ll be happy. Plus, we’re best friends dude. We might not always see each other as much anymore but we have a strong bond and you moving isn’t going to break that. Matthew: Ohh… wow. I feel better now. I’m glad you’re not upset with me. Taka: You thought I’d be upset with you for that? Hell no! I’m happy for you! I know you’re gonna tear that league up! Matthew: Thanks Taka. I really appreciate it man. Taka: No problem. Hey. Let’s go watch some tv. Matthew: Good idea. The 2 of us went into the living room, turned the tv on and sat on the sofas in the room. We talked for about a half hour with the tv on until I realized something. Matthew: Oh my Arceus! Taka: What’s wrong? Matthew: I totally forgot to tell you something else! I got a new Pokemon! Taka: When? Matthew: 2 weeks ago! Taka: And you’re just telling me now?! Matthew: Hehe… Oops. Come on out Krep! Duskull: Duskull Dusk! Taka: A Duskull! That’s awesome! Duskull: Dusk! Duskull Kull! Matthew: Yea. I found it when I was going back from work 1 night and decided to catch it. Taka: Are you taking that little dude with you on your adventure through Aevium? Matthew: Yea. I promised it I would. I think it had a trainer before but they must have given up on it because they thought it was too weak. Taka: What? That’s horrible! Every Pokemon can be powerful. You just gotta put your time and energy into training them. Matthew: Exactly! I’m gonna make this the best Duskull it can be. Taka: That’s awesome! TV Reporter On TV: BREAKING NEWS! Reports are coming in saying a strangely colored Bisharp is on the loose somewhere in Unova. We can confirm that this Bisharp is violent and has caused casualties to both humans and Pokemon. We advise that everyone avoid this Pokemon if seen. Now back to your scheduled programming. The tv went back to showing what was playing before that emergency news broadcast. Taka and I both looked at each other in amazement. We couldn’t believe that a Pokemon could be that cruel that it would kill anything. Matthew: That’s… insane. Taka: Yea. And did you notice how they said it’s different colored too? Matthew: I wonder why it’s doing that? Taka: I have no idea but I’m not worried. I have my trusted Garchomp with me. -shows off Garchomp’s PokeBall- Matthew: Ohh yea. I forgot you had that. Just then, a loud thud could be heard from the side of the house. Taka, Duskull and I both jumped and turned around to the source of the noise. We waited and waited to see if the noise would happen again. When we thought it was ok, it happened again but this time louder. And soon, it kept going faster and faster but as soon as it started it, stopped. Taka started to run to the door. Matthew: Dude, what are you doing?! It could be that Bisharp! Taka: I got my Garchomp! If it is that thing, it’ll be no problem! Matthew: Ugh! Fine! Come on Krep! We’re gonna go see too! Duskull: Duskull Dusk! The 3 of us ran outside and looked around the house to see if we could spot what was making that noise. Then we saw something. Something was standing in Taka’s yard. It looked like a Bisharp but it looked purple. It was weird. It locked its eyes onto us. We then showed ourselves to it. Matthew: That thing is super creeping me out. Taka: Yea. It kind of is. Why’s it purple? Matthew: I don’t know. Is it a shiny? Taka: No way. Shiny Bisharps are blue. It doesn’t matter though. Hey you! I don’t know what you think you’re doing but we know what you’ve done! Your crime stops here and now! The Pokemon didn’t move at all. It just stared right into Taka’s eyes. I didn’t know what was gonna happen next but I had a bad feeling. Taka grabbed a PokeBall and threw it out. Taka: Let’s go Garchomp! Garchomp: -roars- Duskull: Duskull!? Matthew: Damn! That things gigantic! Taka: Yea. And now this thing is gonna feels it’s wrath! Garchomp! Dragon Claw on that Bisharp now! Garchomp obeyed its trainer and swiftly performed its attack on the Bisharp. But something was wrong. The Pokemon didn’t seem too affected by the attack. This had us all shocked. But what happened next was horrifying. The oddly colored Bisharp slashed Garchomp. At 1st, Garchomp just stood there. Just standing. We didn’t know what was going on. Then all of a sudden, its body fell down but the head was completely severed from the body. The Bisharp had decapitated the Taka’s Garchomp. The lot of us were horrified at this. Taka: Gar… Chomp… No! Matthew: How the fuck did it do that?! That Bisharp is stronger than it should be! Taka: My Garchomp… It killed my Garchomp… NO! Matthew: Taka! Wait! But he didn’t. Taka went running up to his dead Garchomp but before he could get to its body, the Bisharp jumped in front of it and looked right into Taka’s eyes again. With a swift and powerful motion, it moved its arm back and jab its sharp edge right into Taka’s chest. With Taka still impaled on the end of its arm, it raised Taka into the air. It was as if it was showing off at what it did. It then threw him onto the ground. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My best friend had just gotten stabbed through his stomach. I couldn’t think about that for now though for the Bisharp then looked at me. I didn’t know what to do. I only had my Duskull. Then I remembered something. Matthew: That’s right! Krep, use Destiny Bond! Duskull: Duskull!~ A shadow form of Duskull shot over to the Bisharp and phased into it. The Bisharp then delivered a powerful attack on Duskull, knocking it out. Luckily it was still alive but I didn’t want to possibly lose it so I called it back to its ball. The Bisharp then looked at me but before it could do anything, it fell straight to the ground. Destiny Bond had worked and the Pokemon was stopped. Then I remembered Taka. I ran over to him and knelt down beside him and held him in my arms. Matthew: Dude… Dude no! This can’t be happening! This can’t be fucking real! Taka: -gasping for air- I-I don’t think I- Ugh! It’s over man… Matthew: No no. It can’t. It won’t! Just hang on! Taka: D-Dude, it’s over. Matthew: Stop saying that! It’s not! I won’t let it! Taka: Listen to me. It stabbed me r-right through- -coughs up blood- my heart. I’m n-not making I-it… Matthew: What the fuck man?! This wasn’t supposed to happen! You’re not supposed to… No! Fuuuck! Taka: Hey. It’ll be o- Ack! Ok… Matthew: I can’t go now… No way… Taka: Y-You are. Matthew: Wh-What? What are you talking about? Taka: You’re gonna g-go on that adventure o-of yours and you’re gonna d-do it for- -starts gasping for air- me… Matthew: Taka… I- Taka: Thank you… for being my best… friend… As soon as he finished that sentence, he stopped breathing. I tried bringing him back but it was no use. He was dead. My best friend was dead. This deranged Pokemon attacked and killed Arceus knows how many Pokemon and humans and then did this to my best friend. Tears started to well up in my eyes and I sobbed for losing my best friend. As that was happening though, I could hear voices. I looked up and could see a man and a woman in weird clothing standing next to the fallen Bisharp. Man: Damn! I can’t believe we lost this thing in this region for hours! Woman: We?! It was you who wasn’t paying attention and not lock its cage! Man: Well you weren’t exactly keeping an eye on it either now were you?! Matthew: You 2… What the fuck did you do?! Man: And now you. Hmph. Look. Be lucky we have to get going or else you’d be in trouble as well. Matthew: Do you not understand!? Your Pokemon just killed not only my best friend’s Pokemon but also my best friend! Woman: Shut up! We need to get back to HQ or we’ll be in worse trouble than your friend there. Matthew: You son of a- Man: There. I’ll keep it in the PokeBall for now. Let’s move. Woman: You didn’t see an Arceus damn thing. You got it?! And with that, the pair ran away. I sat there holding my best friends lifeless body in my arms as I wept. I never thought I’d ever go through something like this. I called the police. Around the same time they came over, so did Taka’s dad. He came over to me and asked what happened. Before I could get a word out though, he looked over and saw his son’s lifeless body on the ground. He screamed out in horror and tried to run over to his son but the police stopped him. I went over to him and hugged him as the both of us cried over the loss of Taka. After a few hours, the area was clean and Taka was taken to a morgue. I sat inside the house with his dad at the kitchen table. Matthew: I’m… sorry. Taka’s Dad: For what? Matthew: I couldn’t save him… I couldn’t save my… best- Taka’s Dad: No. It wasn’t your fault. It was the monstrous Pokemon’s fault. If it wasn’t for you Matt… that think would still be terrorizing the city. Matthew: But I couldn’t save Taka. Taka’s Dad: We have to try to not feel bad Matt. I know my son… -tries to stop himself from crying again- He wouldn’t want us to… feel bad. Matthew: I… I guess you’re right. I can’t believe it though. Taka’s Dad: Ohh… I guess I should give you this now. Matthew: Huh?… What are you talking about? Taka’s Dad: Hold on… I’ll be right back… Taka’s dad went into his room to fetch something for me. I didn’t feel like receiving any kind of gifts right now though. I wasn’t in the mood. But what he came out with had me shocked. Taka’s Dad: Here. My son was gonna give this to you but… Matthew: A… Gible? Gible: Gible! Taka’s Dad: When he noticed you were acting weird for the past couple of weeks, he was worried. He was going to gice you this Gible today to try to cheer you up. It’s from his… his… Matthew: It’s ok. You don’t have to say it… Are you sure? Taka’s Dad: It’s what my son wanted… Besides, it would just sit in the house. It would have a purpose if you took it. Matthew: Heh… Thanks… -looks up towards the ceiling- and thank you Taka… Taka’s Dad: Ohh yea. Sorry. You uhh… You’ll need a PokeBall to keep it in. Matthew: Ahh..a I do huh? This is a special Gible to me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a Master Ball. Taka’s Dad seemed surprised that I had such an item. It was rare to see 1 these days. Taka’s Dad: How do you have a Master Ball? Matthew: When I… beat the Unova Champion, he gave it to me as a prize… I’ve been waiting for the right moment to use it and… this would be the best time to use it. Gible: Gible Gib? Matthew: Hey buddy… I’ll take real good care of you… Taka. I bopped the Master Ball onto the head of Gible and instantly caught it. Taka’s dad and I gave each other 1 final hug before I slowly went back to my house. I really didn’t feel like going anywhere now. Even though Taka told me he wanted me to go on an adventure, I wasn’t so sure I’d be able to right now. I had a lot of thinking to do.

As I walked back home, I couldn’t stop staring at the Moon Ball which now held my newly captured Duskull. It filled me with excitement. When I finally made it home, I saw my mother sitting in the chair watching tv. She turned around when she heard me come in. Mom: Hello dear. How was your day at work? Matthew: It was alright but only because Taka was there. Mom: Well that’s good. So I think it’s- Matthew: Before we have this talk mom, I really need to show you something. When I came home, this little Pokemon kept scaring me for fun and it seemed sad when I was going to leave it. Sooo… Come on out Krep! Mom: Krep? I took out the Moon Ball and out popped Duskull. Mom seemed surprised that I had captured a Pokemon. But I didn’t blame her shock. It had been sometime since I caught my last Pokemon. The little Ghost Type floated around the house, looking at its new home. It seemed quite pleased with its new home. It then floated over to my mom and waved hi to her. Mother giggled and waved back. Mom: Aww. What a cute Pokemon. But why did you call it Krep? Matthew: Well I went to call it Kreep but I said it like that for some reason but it seemed to like that name better so I kept it. Mom: How adorable. Well little Krep, I’m sure you’ll be a pleasure to have around the house. Duskull: Duskull.~ Matthew: It’s really got me psyched on wanting to go on another Pokemon adventure… But it’s not like I’m just gonna go through Unova again. It needs to be another region. Mom: Ahh… Another region huh? Do you think we could have that talk now? Matthew: Yea. Sure. Hey Krep. You can hang out in my room upstairs. I’ll be up there after I talk to my mom ok? Duskull: Dusk Duskull! Duskull listened to me and floated up through the ceiling and into my room. If that were any other Pokemon, that would have freaked me out. I walked around the table and sat down. I looked the expression on my mothers face. She seemed troubled. As if she didn’t know how to start the talk. Matthew: Is… everything ok? Mom: Ohh yes! Yes. Everything’s fine. I’m just trying to think of a way to say what I need to say. Matthew: Well I think you just need to say it or else we might be here all night. Mom: Well… fine. By the end of the month, we’ll be moving. Matthew: Umm… What? Mom: Yes. I’ve decided it’s time to go to another region. Matthew: Well… I mean ok. So what region? Kanto? Kalos? Alola? Mom: You’ve probably never heard of this region before but it’s called the Aevium Region. Matthew: The Aevium Region? You’re right. I’ve never heard of that region before. Weird name for it too. Mom: And once we get there, we will be living in a city called West Gearen City. Matthew:… And the names just keep getting weirder. Mom: So… anything you want to say? Matthew: No. I think it’s great. It’s probably still gotta be close to here so I can visit Taka every now and again. Mom: Well… about that. It’s gonna take 2 days to get there. Matthew: Wait… 2 days?! Mom: Yes. We have to get to Kanto and then get onto a ship called the S.S. Oceana. And the trip will take us 2 days on that ship. Matthew: B… But- Mom: Do you remember my old friend Augustus? He’s gonna be the 1 to operate the ship and- Matthew: Do you really think I care enough to remember who your dumb ass old friend is? I mean how can you make this decision without even consulting me? I know I’m your son but… I thought that you’d talk to me about this before just making a decision like that. I basically won’t be able to see my best friend for like months if this is the case. Mom: Well there’s another reason I did this as a sort of surprise for you. Matthew: A surprise?! This ought to be rich. Mom: They have their own Pokemon League. As soon as my mother said this, my eyes widened and I looked back up to her. She was right. This was a surprise. My attention was all on her as she told me about this Aevium League. It was quite different from the League challenge of Unova. When she was done, I was amazed with everything she told me. Matthew: Ok. Wait. So let me get this straight. This Aevium Region has 18 Gyms instead of the regular 8 and instead of an Elite 4, it’s an Elite 8?! Mom: That’s the gist of it. Matthew: That’s… a lot to take in! Mom: It is but I thought maybe you’d like that. You’ve always been saying that you wanted to be on another Pokemon journey. Even I must admit that you beat the Unova League relatively fast. Matthew: This is… incredible! But still… I would hardly ever see my best friend again. Mom: I know… It’ll be hard but I’m sure he’ll understand. I’m sure you 2 will still see each other once in a while. Matthew: But it wouldn’t be constantly… But still. This Aevium Region sounds like it’d be a lot of fun to travel through. Capture new Pokemon too. Mom: So how are you feeling about it now? Matthew: Well I’m less mad now. I’m just afraid of how he’ll take it when I tell him eventually. Mom: I understand. Well you have some time to think it over. I think I’m gonna go to bed now. Good night Matthew. See you in the morning tomorrow. Matthew: Good night mother. My mom went up to her room to sleep. I sat at the table for a bit trying to process everything that had just happened. I couldn’t believe that I was going to a new region and going to take on that region’s Pokemon League. It was surreal. After a while, I got up from the table and went upstairs to my room. I could see the Duskull I had caught just a few hours ago floating above my bed. It came over and greeted me when it saw me come into the room. I went over to the bed and sat in it. Duskull came over and floated near me. Duskull: Duskull? Matthew: Well… I guess that Pokemon adventure I’ve been wanting to go on will be happening soon. Duskull: Duskull?! Duskull kull! Matthew: Haha. Yes. I’m taking you along with me. I said I would take you remember? I wasn’t lying. Duskull: Dusk! Kull! Matthew: Haha. Yes. It is very exciting. We’ll be leaving at the end of this month. You gonna be ready for this journey when it comes buddy? Duskull: -nods its head yes- Matthew: Good. Well, I think it’s time for me to get some sleep. You’re a Ghost Type and I’m not sure if they sleep all day and stay up all night. Sooo… do whatever you usually do Krep. Have a nice night.

Yea. When you do 1 of the help requests in Kakori Village, they appear and they basically want people to not ask for help and fix their own problems.

If Team Xen, Bladestar and Team Anti-Assist had a version of the Team Rocket motto, what would it be?

Mom (Nancy): Matthew!~ It’s time to wake up dear! You’ll be late for work if you don’t get up right now!~ Matthew: Ugh. I hate working a normal job. I opened my eyes, stretched and sat up in bed. I was very groggy when I got out of bed and started getting ready for the day. I worked for a tree cutting company and spent most of the day just cutting down trees for land space for buildings and whatever the people that contacted us wanted. The only saving grace was that I always worked with my best friend and today would be no different. At this job, we weren’t allowed to bring our own Pokemon. We could only use their Pokemon. So I decided to retire my Pokemon team. They stay with the Professor of Unova, Professor Juniper. I go to see them anytime I’m free. After brushing my teeth, combing my hair and putting on my work clothes, I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen to have a something quick to eat. My mother was sitting down having her own breakfast. Matthew: Thanks for waking me up. Mom: No problem Matthew. Matthew: So what are you doing today? Mom: Nothing much. Don’t have much to do today. May go take a walk around the town. Matthew: That sounds nice. -grabs a poptart- Alright. I’m gonna go. See you later. Mom: Ohh! Before you go, I wanted to tell you something. We need to have a talk when you get home. Matthew: Ok. Is it bad? Mom: It shouldn’t be. Matthew: -takes a bite out of the poptart- Ok. Later! Mom: Bye!… -waits until I close the door behind me- I really hope he takes this news well. As I walked down to the job site, I thought back to my adventure through Unova. While it was somewhat easy to get through, I had a great time with the Pokemon I used. My starter was a Snivy which evolved into a powerful Serperior. As the journey continued, I had acquired a Conkeldurr, Stunfisk, Garbodor, Darmanitan and Reuniclus. It was fun. They didn’t even get mad at me when I handed them over to Professor Juniper. They were the best team I could ever hope for. But I would be lying if I didn’t want a better adventure. An adventure where the Gym Leaders were harder to beat and the journey was more exciting. But it felt like that was a dream. Besides, I had to help my mom for now with bills. I finally made it to the area. My friend came running over to me greeting me his usual way. ???: Yo Matt. Almost late again. Always cutting it close aren’t you? Haha. Matthew: Haha. Shut it Taka. I got here on time. Taka: Maybe but you keep doing this and then you’ll be late every time. Matthew: Then I guess I just won’t let that happen. Taka: Haha. Right. Well come on. Apparently today’s gonna be a busy day. Matthew: Greeeaaat. My favorite kind of work day. Taka: Well at least it’s just me and you here for today. Matthew: True I suppose. This rarely happens ever. No other people interrupting us talking or goofing around. Taka: I mean to be honest, that’s probably a good thing buuut I’m not complaining. But let’s get to it. We started getting to work cutting down the trees and clearing them out. We talked about life, what we can do to hang out whenever we both had a day off on the same day and other stuff. It was actually a fun time. Heading towards the end of the day, I started to daydream about having a difficult Pokemon journey and what Pokemon I would catch along the way. I wasn’t paying attention though and I got smacked in the face with a tree trunk that a Throh was carrying. Taka ran over to me to make sure if I was ok. Taka: You ok man? Matthew: Ahh fuck! That hurt. Ahh! But I should be fine. Taka: Haha. What were you doing? You totally were just staring off into space. Matthew: Was just thinking about what my next Pokemon adventure would be. Taka: You really miss that don’t you? Matthew: Well yea. But I actually want a challenge. I mean, it took me a couple of months to defeat all the gym leaders, the Elite 4 and become Champion. Taka: Ahh. I should have known. Well, knowing you, I think it’ll happen some day. I don’t know when but it will. Trust me. Matthew: I hope so. I really hate working this stupid ass job. Taka: Me too. It’s only tolerable because I’m always working with you. Matthew: That’s how I’m feeling dude! But still… Taka: Yea. I get’cha. But hey. Let’s finish work. We’re almost done. Matthew: Yea… Yea. You’re right. Let’s finish up. We loaded all the fallen tree trunks onto the backs of trucks and had them driven off to wherever they went to. Taka and I cleaned up the area a bit and then headed our way back home. As I headed back home, I couldn’t help but keep thinking about a newer, more difficult Pokemon journey. This thought was driving me mad. It was as if I was tormenting myself with it. Matthew: Urgh! Isn’t there a region with a difficult league for me to take on?! ???: Kull! Duskull! Matthew: Ahh! Something appeared right in front of my face and scared me so bad that I jumped backwards and eventually fell on my ass. When I looked up, I could see a small, shadowy figure floating in the air. Since it was somewhat dark out, I couldn’t exactly see what it was. But after staring at it for a couple of seconds, I could see the outline of the thing. Turned out it was a Duskull. It looked like it enjoyed the prank it pulled on me. I got up, dusted myself off and looked at the Pokemon with a stern look. Matthew: Duskull, why would you do that? That wasn’t cool of you to do. Duskull: Dusk… Duskull. Matthew: I suppose it was funny… Just don’t do it to me again alright? Duskull: Duskull. Dusk Duskull! Matthew: Alright. Good. Well… I guess I’ll see you around Duskull. -starts walking away- Duskull: Dusk? I started walking back home again but I felt like I was being followed by someone or something. Every couple of minutes, I’d look back behind me but I could never see anyone. The last time, I decided to fully turn around and try to see my surroundings. No matter where I looked though, I couldn’t see anything. As I turned around however, Duskull appeared right in front of my face, scaring me once again. Duskull: Dusk Dusk Duskull! Matthew: Ahh! Didn’t I say to not scare me?! Duskull: Duskull kull. Matthew: What’s up with you anyways? I’ve never seen you around here before. The Duskull’s eye… thing went from looking amused and happy to looking somewhat down. I felt bad that maybe I somehow made it remember something bad in its life. I asked it if someone had gotten rid of it and the Pokemon looked down at the ground and confirmed what I thought. I felt bad for it. I always carried around my Pokedex just in case I wanted to know stuff about Pokemon. I pulled it out and held it in front of the wild Duskull. Pokedex: Duskull: The Requiem Pokemon. It loves the crying of children. It startles bad kids by passing through walls and making them cry. Matthew: -slowly lowers the Pokedex and looks at the Duskull- Hopefully, this doesn’t mean you think I’m bad or a kid at that. Duskull: Dusk Duskull! Matthew: Hmm. Well, might as well see your moveset and level. Hmm… Level 5 with the moves Nigh Shade, Leer and… Destiny Bond? That’s an interesting move. Well I don’t know why you’re other trainer gave up on you. You’re a low level but it doesn’t mean you’re weak. Duskull: Duskull… I could see that the Duskull was still sad. Now I was feeling really bad for it. Then, I got an idea. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a Moon Ball. I pressed the button in the middle and the ball expanded and held it up to the Duskull who seemed puzzled. Matthew: Well, if you want a home, you could always become my Pokemon. I promise not to get rid of you. I think you’ll be a strong Pokemon. And whenever I go on a journey, I promise to take you along with me. So… what do you say? The Duskull looked at me with admiration. It floated towards the Moon Ball, touched it and was caught instantly. I looked at the ball full of happiness. But this also made me want to go on a Pokemon journey even more now. I always gave my Pokemon nicknames so I called it back out and tried to think of a nickname for it. Matthew: Hmm… What to call you? Ohh! I think I got the perfect name for you! Krep! Duskull: Duskull? Matthew: Ohh wait. No. I meant Kreep! The Duskull frantically shook its head no when I corrected myself. But it seemed to have liked the way I mistakenly said it before. Matthew: Uhh… Would you like to be called Krep? Duskull: -nodding in approval- Matthew: Well alright. From now on, you’ll be called Krep! Duskull: Dusk Duskull! Matthew: Haha. Alright. Back in the ball you go. I returned Duskull back to its ball. It had been a while since I had captured a Pokemon. It felt nostalgic. It was awesome. Matthew: Alright! I caught a Duskull!

Thought I'd just copy and paste this from Serebii since it'd be pointless to go to the website and read it. So here's what they said: "It has been confirmed that the July 21st episode of the Japanese Variety Show, Pokénchi, will contain "the latest information" on Pokémon Sword & Shield. At present, it is not clear if this will be brand new information or if it will be a repeat of recently revealed information but we'll provide full details as and when they come" So hopefully on July 21st we'll get some kind of new information about these games.
