a question i had was how the hell did blue moved so quick between gyms without training and when i asked he just looked at me and went for his backpack, when he oppened it and took out a bike some questions were answered and others where created 'lets say that a bike could make the journey in half the time, then it means that he trained for about 3 to 4 days before he entered a gym abd when i asked he just said
"Skill issue" and left it at that and i just gave up asking.
so i just decided to go train for a while,
after getting destroyed by tauros multiple times slowpoke and noctowl could almost keep up with him as long as anger point didnt activate which was quite a few times in which the training would stop and we would have to go to the nearest pokemon center so now i had his pokeball at all times just in case so he could calm down safeley and i even maneged to make tauros capable of learning endeavor which could be a discount last resort since if someone overpowers tauros im screwed anyways but it was nice to have, slowpoke maneged to make teleport go up to 14 and Noctowl learned roost with blues pidgeott so it was a good week.
When i woke up and found that there was no red eyes looking at me this morning i still felt kinda weird but looking at my side and finding that noctowl was looking at me with his head turned 180° from tauros mane just replaced the weird factor so everything was ok, in the past weeks noctowl and tauros grew into each other and now they spend most of their time together and part of that its probably my fault when i told noctowl that he didnt fit in my jacket and that my shoulder would not resist his weight so he started going to tauros mane and since tauros didnt seem to mind, it just became a thing that they do now so like every morning i moved slowpoke from my legs and prepared my equip, since tauros is a high maintenence pokemon we would have a 40 minutes ride at 70km/hour, i could probably do less but that would mean tauros going faster and i didnt know if my hands would just give up their grip or tauros would do a fast turn so i decided that this was a nice speed to go, a new adition to our ride was the fact that noctowl now would came with us flying beside us which would cause some races between the both of them that made me hold for my dear life but would make the ride last 30 minutes instead of 40 and tauros seemed to enjoy the races so i didnt have the heart to refuse them even if it would be more safe. When i got to my room slowpoke had finally woke up since i could hear the water comeing from the bath, dont ask me how but he maneged to get to the tab of the shower and would just stay there takeing a cold shower for hours forceing me to dry him since i didnt want him dripping water in the bed 'thank god they dont ask for more money for the time that i use water otherwise we would have a big problem' tauros laid down while i was drying slowpoke and prepareing to take a shower when i heared a knock on my door, when i oppened it was blue
"we leave in 30 minutes are you ready?" when he looked at me and found that i smelled like i ran a maraton and still was wearing my equip to ride tauros he sigh
"fine, we leave after launch just be ready" i smiled and closed the door and started preparing for my shower, we where going to the pokemon tower, the original plan was going against erika but after beating koga he asked if we could go to the pokemon tower instead and i agreed.
When i came out of the shower i started putting all my things in my bag and I sent a message to blue telling him that i would meet him in the hall, when i got down i found him waiting in one of the waiting chairs with his wartortle sitting over his legs till he saw us and stood up so i asked
"what do you wanna eat?"
"i feel like a hamburger and fries what about you?"
"i want pasta"
"9 out of 10 times you feel like eating pasta, at this point i dont know what i bother asking" i didnt bother with a reply, 'pasta is just that awesome why would i bother changeing food when pasta had many forms to be made and you could always change the formula a bit with a different sauce? clearly pasta is the superior food' so after eating we started putting our equip once more, the reason travel takes a week between citys is the fact that a human usually walks at about 4km/hour and in a week travel of 4 hours of travel you get 112 km walked but when you have a tauros that likes to run and your friend that has a pidgeott that goes to mach 2 all that became meaningless although the travel to lavander takes a little more, so i just put slowpoke between my legs and noctowl started flying, i wasnt really worried about slowpoke since in a worst case scenario in which he fell he would just teleport right back up and with that, we started going at a nice 60km/hour for 40 minutes till blue went down and oppened his mouth
"race you to lavander town" and that seemed to be all tauros needed because he doubled his speed and trees started becoming a blurs in my vision and when i looked up i found blue smileing in his pidgeott only to make a see ya sign and speeding up more and tauros must have heared because he went even faster, when i looked by my side i found noctowl noctowl was slowly speeding up and then used tailwind which only made us go faster and by that point my arms where starting to hurt " TAUROS, SLOW DOWN THIS INSTANT!" that maneged to work since i slowly began to see everything again and i didnt feel like my arms where about to fall off. A few minutes later we where in lavander town where i found blue petting his pidgeott " what took you so long?"
"you dont feel like your arms are falling off?"
"naa after years of rideing pokemon you grow used to it, and my equipament takes part of the backlash"
"pay to win"
"Skill issue"
with that we went to the pokecenter and asked for our rooms, we planned to stay here a few days before moveing to safron where we would stay a few weeks and blue would get his badge and then we would move to celadon, after that we spended the day training till dinner and blue spoke "im gonna go for a walk around the block see ya tomorrow" and with that he left and when i decided that i had enough for today i went back to my room and went to sleep.
BLUE POV
After saying Paul good bye i went to my destination, they say that that when your pokemon dies even if you dont have the body you should go to the pokemon tower regardless, when i got there and started looking at all the tombs i started feeling depressed remembering the first time we meet, he was my first battle in the wild so i decided to catch him and he was the one that helped me win against mistys starmie useing hyper fang followed by a quick attack into an iron tail, he usually was a morning pokemon so he didnt like night travel and he usually would fight with pidgeotto but he was the first in wakeing up and would put his face against mine and would start rubbing against me to wake me up and every night he would sleep between my legs and would let me pet him... i miss him.
That day i made a vow i decided to train twice as hard, and i would make it to be a champion, i would not repeat what happend to raticate to any other pokemon i would destroy team rocket and make sure they paid what they did to me and every other person in that cruise and there was nothing that would stop me.
When i decided to go back to my room i found red looking at me with a questioning gaze, i didnt say anything and just took my pokeball and he did the same and with that we started the battle.
i sended scyther while red sended an eevee with a white scarf.
scyther started useing sword dance while the eevee stood stil, when scyther used demolition the eevee used protect and followed with a last resort that sended scyther flying and this time scyther went in again and the eevee answered with another protect but scyther used faint followed by a close combat and that flurry of hits was all that was needed to knock him out, and this time it was his butterfree so i returned scyther and sended wartortle that started launching ice beam while the butterfree dodged ever so slightly with a weird dance and by the time i realized that it was in fact quiver dance the butterfree launched a sleep powder followed by a elctroweb into a bug bite that knocked out wartortle so i decided to go with my fastest option.
when kadabra entered the field he started teleporting and launching a psychic or shock wave each time till the butterfree went down, and as soon as he returned it and his charmeleon entered the field he rushed at kadabra that would just teleport away and launched a few shadow balls till he grew tired and the charmeleon ran at him and used crunch that quickly evolved into a fire fang that ended in a flamethrower at point blank that knocked out kadabra so i sended pidgeott to the field and started useing tailwind and double team but since we where in such a closed space he launched a flamethrower helped by the wind created at every direction hitting every clone and pidgeot too followed by a scratch to the eyes that made him blind so he started riding pidgeot and scratched him and bitted him and he could not escape his grip.
when i returned him i sended exeggutor that started useing stomping tarantrum while the charmeleon used flamethrower, in the end the charmelon lost and red was on his last pokemon.
When his pikachu entered the field and looked at exeggcutor he went with a quick attack that followed a iron tail and ended with a thunder punch before exeggcutor could do anything and i was down to my last pokemon.
when scyther looked at the pikachu you they both stood still like if they were messureing each other and as soon as they tensed their muscles they ran at each other with pikachu dodgeing every attack scyther launched going around them while scyther dodged his standing in place and every time scyther maneged to launch pikachu away he would flip mid air and as soon as he touched the ground came with another quick attack to start another hand to hand battle in which they both started wearing each other down till in one of those moments in which scyther launched pikachu far and he came back at him something changed, 'his attack evolved' and this time scyther eyes could not follow the extreme speed putting a end to the battle.
When i returned scyther i leave the tower without saying a word 'I'm closing the distance between us red, next time i will be on the lead again...i owe you that much Raticate'
