Paradise Pokeball System

Couldn’t Help But Smile

The truth was that Cryo had told me that he had been giving me poke dollars for each mission that I completed, but that also included when Lumi and I were... completing tasks. Right now, I was sitting at 250,000$, and I was sure that was more money than my parents made in a year. To limit Lusamine would be silly, and it wasn't like I could just make more money by completing other missions.

"Well, when you put it that way, I would like to get some new... lady accessories..." Lusamine said, getting red.

I had been about to correct her and say underwear, but I decided not to and took a different route. "That sounds like a good idea. I am sure that Jolene and Joy will help you out with that. I had wanted to take you shopping alone, but now that you mention that, it is clear that going with the girls is a better plan!" I laughed, and Lusamine nodded but leaned into me and didn't say anything as we walked.

We were in the city now and heading to the south entrance from the east side.

I could still feel Popsicle's words in my head, asking if I was ever going to forget her or let her go, and I couldn't help but think that, no matter what happened between Lusamine and me, I wasn't going to forget my promise to her or any of my Pokémon. They were mine, and I was theirs.

As soon as I thought about it, I felt two arms wrap around me from behind, and I looked back to see Lusamine smiling up at me. We both just stood like that for a moment before the girls finally noticed us and ran up, dragging us along with them into the store, but I stopped them at the door.

"Hold on! You girls can go have fun, but I am going out, so do some training with my Pokémon," I said, and Nemona and Tallia nodded as they stayed back from Joy and Lusamine being dragged into a sock drawer.

"So, you are going to go do some training? How many Pokémon do you have now?" Tallia asked as Nemona answered a phone call.

"Yeah, I want to start working with the Pokémon that I have caught so far, so I can go and try to take on some of the gyms. I think it will be good for the Pokémon and me. As for the Pokémon I have caught so far? Cosmog, Feebas, Pawmi, Finneon, Ralts, Hatenna, and then a Charcadet last night," I explained, and Nemona almost dropped her phone.

"You did what?! How did you catch one of those?! Tallia! When did you catch..." Nemona said, but then growled at her phone that had a male voice coming from it. "Be quiet, Arven! I am talking to that hottie trainer I was telling you about!" She yelled at the phone and then hung up. "Anyways! Tallia, when did you catch your Charcadet?"

"Huh? I never caught one. I got mine from the raid with you when we were hunting those Tera-Crystals that have been forming, remember?" Tallia said, and Nemona nodded.

"Yeah, that is right! Still, I just have to know! Did you catch it without fighting it?!" Nemona asked, and I nodded, explaining everything that had happened.

By the end of it, Nemona was almost in tears from laughing so hard about my Pawmi kicking the ball into the Character's face. Just as I finished, one of the big black Corviknights with a taxi car showed up.

"Wow, that really is something! You had better do some hard training today with your Pokémon because tomorrow is my day off! You know what that means, right?" Nemona asked after Tallia gave me a hug and got in the cab.

"Hmmm? You know, I think that you are going to want a nice back and foot rub and then for me to run a hot bath after, right?" I asked with a sly grin, and Nemona's face actually turned red as she didn't seem to be able to speak for a moment.

"What?! Yes? No! I want to battle you! ...But that massage and a hot bath sound really good! Fine, If I win, that is what I want!" Nemona said as she turned and got in the cab closing the door.

"Hey! What do I get if I win?!" I called as the cab lifted up into the air and flew off, but all I heard was Nemona's laughter.

Shaking my head, I started to jog back towards the east gate and then decided that I should take a detour through some of the city. As I got closer to the center of town, and while I was looking around at all of the buildings, I couldn't help but think about my life and how different it had gotten in such a short time. I remembered when I first arrived and how worried I was to be here with my strange powers or any idea what I was supposed to do. Now I was surrounded by people that I cared for, Pokémon that wanted to battle with me, and more.

I had a lot of missions to complete and lots of gyms to face, but I also had the chance to live my life. Every day was new, and it felt like something amazing was always just around the corner.

Maybe I might get to even visit more cities or meet more people? I wondered before getting the idea to do some training on my own in the forest outside the city for a little bit before letting the girls out. I had promised Popsicle that I would give her and Knighty a chance to train together, and Leilani wanted to help me if she could, so it seemed like a perfect plan.

So, running off towards the east gate again, I couldn't help but smile. It was going to be a great day!
