Chereads / Pokemon: A Trainer's Haven / Chapter 8 - Chapter 08

Chapter 8 - Chapter 08

"Okay, everyone! Back to your seats! We still have one finally person to show their pokemon. Jax, if you will, please."

"Thanks for the introduction, Professor Uriel. Hey, guys. Not much to say except, come out, little guy!"

In a flash even brighter than Ally's Mewton, the whole class was excited to which pokemon Jax had partner up with.

Flash...Flash...Flash...

With all flash and no show, the class was starting to get a little impatient.

"Hey! Hurry up and summon your pokemon already!" shouted one of the boys.

"Psh I bet the Jax is doing this on purpose because his starter is so bad" exclaimed another one of the boys.

Finally, after a long series of flashes, the pokemon revealed itself!

"Huh?! There's nothing there. Stop playing around Jax!"

"Boo! Jax is too embarrassed by his pokemon!"

When everyone looked over at Jax, they noticed that he had gotten...rounder? Huh? Why is his stomach wriggling around?

"Hey, little guy. Show your face so my classmates can see how cool you are." urged Jax trying to lift up his sweater.

Upon paying closer attention, the students faintly made out the color purple. After a series of tug-of-war between Jax and Nidoran (M), the little guy finally poked his head out from where Jax's head was. Now it looked like Jax had two heads, one normal and one extremely purple.

"Awww! He's so shy!" exclaimed the girls in unison looking at Nidoran (M).

Nidoran (M) immediately rushed back into Jax's sweater to hide inside. I guess you can't beat a pokemon's nature to burrow in the face of danger.

"Alright! Thank you to all the students who shared their pokemon with the class. Now that everyone has their own pokemon, we'll split everyone off to different teachers so that they can learn more specifically about their own pokemon. This will be your schedule for the foreseeable future. We'll adjourn back here during homeroom hours. Now, hurry to your next class, kids."

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!

The bell signified the end of the school day. Some kids rushed out to go play in the park with their new pokemons. Some stuck around to chat with friends. Some kids in their eagerness issues pokemon challenges amongst each other.

A silver grey hair boy sauntered his way across the class to a girl sitting down at her desk with a blue worm around her neck.

"Hey, Ally! Glad I could meet you back here after class."

"U-um. Hey, J-Jax. How was your first day of c-class?"

"Haha! I said you can just call me JJ wink*. But class was good. The teachers didn't really teach me anything I didn't already know. How about you?"

"Mhm. Same! I a-already all of this from G-Grandfather when he gave me M-Mewton."

"Ah! Speaking of Mewton! I have a favor to ask of you! Can you help me think up a nickname for Nidoran (M)? I'm horrible at these things! Pwetty pwease~"

"U-um. I-if you're o-okay with me then s-sure. Who is N-Nidoran (M)'s mommy?"

"Thanks a bunch! Nidoran (M)'s mommy is actually a Kangaskhan! I went out to the woods with my mother when a pack of Beedrill was chasing after her. Then she handed me her egg and I swore to protect it with everything that I have. Now, the little guy is more like my brother more than my pokemon."

"T-that's so sad! Is the mommy K-Kangaskhan okay?"

"Um. Well, I honestly don't think she made it..."

A heavy air hung above the two kids while they tried to process their thoughts.

"S-sorry to hear that. I didn't m-mean to make the mood s-sad."

"It's okay. My mother tried to give the Kangaskhan a potion but she said no. Probably knew she didn't have much longer."

"W-well, since Nidoran (M)'s mommy is a Kangaskhan and his dad is obviously a Nidoking, what about...Kangking?"

Cricket noises*

"W-Wow! I didn't think of that! What do you think, little guy?"

Nidoran (M) looked at the two who had similar naming sense and shook its head before taking a bite out of Jax.

"Ouch! Hey! No need for violence! Just tell me if you like it or not! Sheesh...Sorry, Ally. I guess it's a no from Nidoran (M)."

"T-then, since Nidoran (M) had such a tragic story, he's probably going to think about getting back at those Beedrills..."

At that, Nidoran (M) perked up his ears and red in his eyes became a shade darker almost as if it was blood swimming in them.

"Looks like the little guy likes your line of thinking, continue with your train of thought."

"U-um well, this is a story I heard from my G-Grandfather about a God of Vengeance, Vioarr. He s-slayed the great wolf that k-killed his father."

Nidoran (M) who was usually shy and timid hopped out of Jax's sweater and stomped his foot on the ground before charging into one of the nearby desks.

"Well, I guess that confirms it, little guy. From now on, I'll call you Vioarr. May you seek vengeance against your mother's killers. Thanks, Ally. I knew it was the right decision to come to yo-"

Before Jax could continue his sentence, he heard a chime in his ear, "Ding! Congratulations to the host for giving his first pokemon their first nickname! Milestone achieved! As a gift for achieving this milestone, host has been gifted with a [Grade: EX] coupon. Affinity with Vioarr (Nidoran M) reaches MAX! Ding! Milestone achieved! As a gift for achieving this milestone, host has been gifted with a [Moonstone High]."

"U-um. H-hello? Jax?"

"Ah. Sorry about that Ally. I blanked out for a moment. But yes, thanks so much for your help. Um. I'll see you in class tomorrow." said Jax walking out of the classroom with a blank look on his face.

All throughout walking back towards home, Jax was both surprised and elated at the news of this new gifts.

'What the heck is a Grade: EX coupon? I thought the highest grade was Dense Diamond? And a Moonstone High ranked too? Oh! I wonder if I put it in my sub-space will the system be able to replicate it and raise its tier? Doesn't hurt to try. Even if the system can't upgrade its rank, the moonstone can still be replicated. That's pure profit! If I sell them to buyers, I'll be raking in the dough! Especially because it's High ranked too!'

Trying out his little experiment, Jax put the Moonstone High into his sub-space.

"Ding! System detected non-living organic substance. Initializing...Initializing...Initialization complete! Moonstone High can be upgraded. Does the host want to upgrade Moonstone High?"

'Whoa! I thought High ranked stones were the best! It can be upgraded even further?! Heck yeah! YES! 100 PERCENT YES!'

"Ding! System detected hosts intentions. System attempting to upgrade Moonstone High. Initializing...Initializing...Standby...Wait time...30 Days...Starting upgrade..."
