A random pokemon journey

Brendan

May had a bit of a rude awakening though when the runt refused to listen to her orders at first and clearly did not respect her at all. I honestly wasn't all that surprised about since the little dude probably noticed her newness to the whole trainer thing. Considering that it was sorta my fault that the runt had unreasonably high demands for it's trainer I pulled it aside and explained that I was a freak of nature to put it lightly and that most new trainers will be far worse than me at it. After that it was mostly obedient though did make it clear to May when she made a mistake.-

The next day after that the furniture and decorations company came with the stuff that belonged to Normans family that wasn't personal items. Simple things like the electronics and furniture that they got moved in and set up. This time the company used Vigoroth for the muscle to move the items. This was the second evolution of the Slakoth species and had a white furred body that looked like a strange mix between a sloth and an ape as it's limbs ended in long sharp claws but had no fingers.-

There were a few brown stripes in the middle of it's back and a red tuff of fur between it's eyes. An interesting thing to note was that the members of the Slakoth line were notoriously lazy in both the first and third evolutions but were very powerful. The second evolution was the only one full of energy and thus usable for work like this. The Truck containing the personal items as well as Normans family arrived after that and I got my first look at the protagonist of the games for the Hoenn region.-

Normans wife was an older but fairly attractive women with brown hair and freckles that waved at me when she spotted me. Normans kid on the other hand had short white hair held up behind a pokeball logo red and black bandana. He was older than in the games by a good bit but still was similar enough that I recognized him immediately. It was rather funny in my opinion how shocked the guy looked when he saw me , Gaia and Vulcan looking at him from the pasture. I was well aware that I stood out like a sore thumb in terms of both appearance and pokemon and merely waved casually.-

He went into the house at that point while the pokemon movers did their job and brought in the boxes of personal items. It clearly took them a couple of hours to get unpacked and for the movers to leave but afterwards both the mother and son left their new house to make introductions with the rest of the village. May left her house shortly after they visited it and headed out of the village while fiddling with a small red device that anyone who had played the games aught to recognize , a pokedex. -

'It seems she wants to get a headstart on me to work on her pokedex without missing the league. Also I wonder if the Birch will meet the protag in the same way as the games despite me training Sly?' I wondered calmly from my spot in the pasture. Much like in the game Birch had left the village early this morning before the moving people and Normans family arrived and should be on his way back now. Unlike in the game however he has Sly with him and as such should not need rescue.-

Eventually though the two members of the family present worked up the nerve to come introduce themselves to me. I didn't blame them for their hesitance in the matter as my pokemon and I cut an imposing figure. "Hello , I am Haruka and this is my son Brendan. We just moved into the village as you saw and wanted to introduce ourselves." The woman , Haruka , said nervously. "Pleased to meet both of you and my names Alexander Drake , but I go by Alex. I am afraid there has been a slight misunderstanding however as I am not a resident of the village. Merely staying till the start of the league season." I said with a warm smile.-

I wasn't faking this particular smile though as I was genuinely pleased to meet them or to be more specific Brendan. I don't know exactly why but it sent a thrill through me to meet a character I had truly invested so much time into. "Anyways the lovely lady and smug pooch here are Gaia and Vulcan respectively and both my own pokemon." I said pointing at my two mons earning a pleased rumble from Gaia and an annoyed snort from Vulcan.-

Apparently my friendly attitude let the two of them relax considerably as they both lowered their tense shoulders and settled into more of a comfortable stance. "You must be an amazing trainer to have such pokemon right?" Brendan asked with bright eyes that showed his interest in the matter. I chuckled and shook my head "Sorry to disappoint you but I am actually a totally new trainer. I got both of these two through a few strokes of good luck before I even got set out on my journey officially. I just needed to lose most of my memories and survive in the wild first is all." I said with a shrug.-

"Lose your memories?" Haruka asked confused. I repeated the exact same story I told to Birch to them and they looked horrified. "Goodness that must be terrible to not remember anything and find yourself in the wilderness like that!" Haruka exclaimed after I finished my story and Brendan nodded in agreement. I smiled "Like I said it's not all that bad since I met these two as a result and am in a better position than I would normally be before my journey." I said honestly.-

"What about your family? Wouldn't they be worried?" Haruka asked seriously. I shook my head "I'm an orphan as far as my id says so not at all." I answered with a shrug. "You've just had a big move so take a moment to relax  , I'm fine I promise." I said reassuringly. They left after that but I kept an eye on the entrance of the village for Birches return. When he finally walked into view with Sly walking on alert next to him I realized that the events of the story weren't going to happen exactly the same.-

I approached the man calmly since I had made up my mind on leaving the village the next day. "Ah Alex! what can I help you with?" Birch asked with a smile. "I just figured I should let you know that I will be leaving after my workout tomorrow and thank you for all your help before I did." I said honestly. Birch didn't seem all that surprised by what I said "Honestly speaking I had expected you to leave before now as even a blind man could see how restless you and your pokemon were getting." He said with a chuckle.
