Hello, there! Glad to meet you! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Pommier. People affectionately refer to me as South Kalos Professor. This world… …is inhabited far and wide by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Other use them for battling. As for myself… I study Pokémon as a profession. You see, South Kalos recently had an influx of rare Pokémon a bit like the ones of the Holon Region : δ (delta) Pokémon! But first, tell me a little about yourself. Now tell me. Are you a boy? Or are you a girl? Let's begin with your name. What is it?> A boy named [Write-in] > A girl named [Write-in]

Yeah, that place will do better than any. You've seen a fair share of wildlife on the way down. Pokemon have mostly kept to themselves - so close to a town, they know not to engage humans or are dealt with by the Rangers.
Nearby, a swarm of Ledyba are hunted by a Taillow, a Tympole stares at you and a Magikarp cruise by without a care in the world.
You release your Pokémon.
"Hello there.
- <span class="mu-r"> Croa.</span>"
The small Croagunk looks scared. He's way smaller than what you expected, at around 40 cm tall - well, the only Croagunk you know of is the Mascot of ToxiCure Pharmaceuticals, but the remark holds. He's still a youngling, he will most definitely grow more.
You extend your hands toward your partner.
"<span class="mu-r">Croa.</span>"
He accept the touch, headbutting your palm. You start petting the Fire Frog.
Like a regular Croagunk, you void his cheek poaches as well as his fingers and toe - Even nothing much is known about this species, you intuitively feel it's asking for burning yourself. His skin his warm and supple.
"<span class="mu-b">Tympole!</span>"
Hearing the call of the Tadpole, Apu spins on himself and walks toward the river. You let him do, pokeball on hand. He's not looking aggressive, but you never know, so you stay ready for recall and abscond, as well as comforting your Pokémon after the inevitable discovery that Water is bad for him.
Surprisingly, Apu gets into the water with a wide grin on his face. Unexpected.
Still, you're not confident about letting him play a lot longer in the Water.

Warning : This is not a gotta catch'em all quest.
You will need a team. You will need a rotating rooster. But I'm tracking bonding individually. And that will go both up and down depending on the actions taken.
Level-evolution will usually decrease the bond as the pokemon gets harder to deal with. And High-level pokemon will require high-level bond to listen to you.
Danny knows better than doing the rookie mistake of getting a 6 pokemon team and be wildly unable to deal with all of them. Typically, very few trainer can handle Gyarados - after all it's a real challenge to bond with a Magikarp while training him and trainer, young and old, getting killed by a freshly evolved resentful Gyarados
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l5Vw8Up8gU Still, you can pull this out - you're a protagonist after all.
Virtually all non-legendary Pokemon are available in the region one way or the other. Growing the team can be lucky encounter based (like just right now! Thrilling!), Research-based (travelling half the region, then back to get the perfect element for a gym? Piece of cake with SKTN - South Kalos Transportation Network) or opportunity based (for the reeaal good stuff; old-timer knows what I'm talking about)

That's good advice.
"Thank you professor!

The Dark Woods link Clerk-Mountsmith, Velayswell and Saint-Stephen.
Those woods are the home of an impressively diverse collection of Bug and Plant Pokemon - with of course a few exceptions.
The deeper you go, the most impressive the Pokémons - I wouldn't be surprised if a dozen of unknown species where hidden in the heart of that forest."
The professor stops, looks sorrowful.
>Bulbasaur "You put the finger right on one of the few exception. A few Pokemon, as rare as powerful, are roaming the <span class="mu-s">Vicswell</span> mountain.
Grassy slopes, a stream of the purest water, lava-slide caves... All that make pokemons like Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander happy.
Of course, the War-weapon collection of evolution roaming the mountain makes the place quite dangerous.
You'll most probably need a special authorization to visit it. Or get there one day the guardsmen are in a good mood :

You recognize leaves from Lotad sliced and applied to your wound. The plant act as a sponge, slowly dripping water while absorbing the poison-energy goo remains.
With your hand mobility severely reduced, time to do what you are avoiding since the beginning of the day : introduce your Pokémon to mom.

Since i chose a Fire Pokémon i thought it would be wise to get a Water Pokémon as well Mom.
Just make sure to not handle the little one without gloves while outside of water and it will be fine.
And the goo can just be washed off since its Water soluble so no problem with the wash.
I might need to use the shower more often though to keep Wooper Hydrated. Unless you want me to use the sink.
If she protests just pull out the adorable little gal and show her that pleasant vacant smile. No judgement. Only joy.

First, get her back to her sense.
"Mom, you agreed to me going to the distribution. We talked about it. You signed the wager - else the Professor would not have given it to me."
She blinks a couple time.
"We... Talked About it?"
The wire of her mind uncross.
>29 "WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS YOU GETTING ONE - AND ONLY ONE - POKEMON. AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP YOU IN THE TECH FIELD, LIKE A MAGNEMITE!"
That one's on you - you implied that heavily. The closest would have been the δ-Combee. And then she would have complained that you didn't get something Normal, the more "Tolerable". And if you did, she would have complained that it is a dirty, damaging, useless mouth to feed.
"Mom, we changed region. I told you : Gym badges are mandatory to get into school here. When we had to left everything behind, you told me it will be good for me. Meet new people. Make friends. One of the best engineering school in the world. That's why you agreed to...

Just don't handle it barehand out of water, and... Come with me <span class="mu-b">Bubbles... Allright lass, jump in the bathtub... Watergun."
The attack is not focused where it should be, turning the bathroom in a damp mess.
Still, you feel great about yourself : it's your first time ordering a pokemon to use a move - and she did it! There's still training to be done, but your chest swells with pride.
"As you can see, that one is low maintenance.

- Mom, it's not a Slugma dropping a lava and ember trails in its wake. Goo stick to her - or other living being that touches her. Plus, she's low-maintenance. Look how adorable and happy she looks!

Your pokemon is bobbing from left to right in the bathtube in contentment.

You step toward it, and the Pokémon starts growling. At that moment, Sentret, Mudbray and Bunnelby abscond - the Shinx watches, and the Happini joyfully calls out.
Once closer to the Eevee, you can't help but notice how thin the pokemon is. Fur tangled, dirty.
Eevee is chewing at a Kelpsy berry.
One more step. Eevee breaks its berry in half, throws a part to you, cower while chewing the other, still looking frightfully.

You laid in front of the brown pokémon a collection of berries of basic taste - Cherri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst and Aspear. It looks afraid, but seeing you stay still and motion to come closer, jumps on the Chesto berry. After devouring it, Rawst follow the same fate.
"Are you getting bullied by the other Pokémon around here? Did they steal your food?"
>Road RNG : 23 - attacked by an angry pokémon "<span class="mu-s">Spearow!</span>"
Eevee flinch, startled by the cry. It crouches, trying to appear even smaller.
It confirms you strike true with your guess.
You know what to do - Pokémon under the order of a trainer are stronger than wildlings, right?
"Alright, Lil' one. Don't be afraid I'll help you. Onward!"
>99 It might be the full belly. It might be the kind of instinct that bonded Pokémon and Trainer at Mankind's dawn. It might be that you're an exceptional trainer. It might be luck. But it results in the Eevee stepping forward. Not looking like a contest-pampered Pokémon, nor a fighter 'mon hone for battle, but there's still a flame of resolve in the Eevee's eye.
The Spearow comes forward, raising his neck and launching a nasty <span class="mu-s">Leer</span> at your new friend
"Eevee, <span class="mu-s">Tackle</span> or something!"
>99 The mammal runs...
"Eevee!"
And hit strongly the Spearow.
Confused by the sudden spine his favorite target appeared to grow, the Spearow is going for a <span class="mu-s">Peck</span>
"Again!"
And get slammed by the Eevee head in the chest again.
Battered, the Spearow goes away. Eevee seems as confused as its defeated foe.

It's true that Kalos dirigeant at the time, Firmin Frappeur, was a fascist leader. A man, Roger Quilliot, was able to preserve North of Kalos by arguing for a split of the country to preserve the Pokéball Industry of Laverre city (producing most of the world's supply) and somehow succeed. So the Pokéball ban is mainly a kind of demilitarization of the country.
The conflict happened 30 years ago. Limitations are being weakened, as most Pokémon trainers were criminals that found ways to get Pokéballs. The new Pokéball are all directed toward Kids, to rebuild operational capacities in term of First Responders - Healthcare, Firefighter, Rangers, Police... This is mainly accepted by the population, but the whole 20-50 generation feels sacrificed and crime is high among them.

Gloves, Tent, Tools, Bowls, more food, grooming kit. Anything else? Maybe a big cooking pot - that can act as a bucket for <span class="mu-b">Bubbles</span>...
You can't help but think about Mom. You don't know why she hates Pokémons that much. Somehow, you firmly believe that getting one of her own could have an incredible effect on her mental well-being.
With the restriction on the pokéball ownership, most youngster have an unlimited supply of willful caretakers taking care of supplementary Pokémon while they're travelling around. For example, Danny's uncle David : An humanoid fighting type will be a welcolm help in the field, grass types can improve harvest, water type can easily provide water to barren drylands, electric types can chase away the overly mobile Bird pokemon gorging themself on berries, and so on.
Your plan was simple : getting a full rooster, and catching one spare member that you obviously can't carry around - giving you a good excuse to introduce your mother to her designated emotional support Pokémon.
Well, that was before you snapped and decided to run away. That makes you wonder if her kind of insanity is hereditary. You really hope not.
You're conflicted about that run away decision. On one hand, you won't get back and get under a lock for arbitrary reasons again. That won't happen. Nobody can take your Pokémons away - it's considered both Pokémon abuse and Child abuse to separate a trainer and her partner, which is why most kids with a pokéball is one legally "lended" by a brother or an aunt. That is, in Pokéball-opulent regions.
You wish your mother was normal. That makes everything more complex. Normal mom? You would have got back home, make your laundry, go shopping together, spend a nice, dry night, and full time to train without any kind of pressure before trying to tackle an arena.
It's starting to get late. You go to sleep, waking up Matthew for his watch
You don't spend a good night. Everything you pondered before sleep bubbles up in your dream. The climate is not helping either.

And another :
"<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Our advertisement was recorded under supervision of a Pokemon Ethical Treatment Association volunteer, that endorsed no breach of ethics. She have since been banned from the association.</span></span>"
Oh yeah, there were some drama recently. As Laundrotomat launched a new advert - a grimmer getting in a washing Machine, an Igglybuff going out - a ensuing a controversy.
On PETA side, they ranged from "inacceptable typism of Pokémon displaying Fairy types as worthier than poison type" to "dangerous advertising promoting harm". As usual, the moderate that said it was a nice spin for a Laundrotomat ad was cancelled for the unspeakable evil of a functioning combinaison of common sense and sense of humor.
Anyway, you launch the machine, and release Cinnamon.
As he watches it spin and spin and spin, you get out the brush and start untangle the feral mess your Pokémon looks like.
>78 : Success That takes a fair amount of time and effort. You unlock knots - most importantly freeing the shards of wood and small leaves. Allright, he starts to look like the critter everyone and their mother loves. The laundry is done and dry, back to the center you go.

"Camon, you can do it! One more time!"
>Double-crit consequence : complete Wooper sweep Your Pokémon somehow outspeed her opponent. The water-type move hits while Numel gather energies for another attack. Half-life collapses.

"Wow, I didn't expected that to be so exhausting!

You all go get your team checked. For you it's quite fast - after giving a berry to nimble, Wooper should just rest a bit. The other will take more time to recover.
Most importantly, it's still quite early thanks to your fast sweep.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY8tdnqdPwI&t=4s Hey, it's an allocution from South-Kalos president, Benoit Yapan!
<span class="mu-s">Dear citizens of South-Kalos,
I wish to share with you a delicate yet important announcement. Our region is currently facing international sanctions due to the criminal issues that prevail within our borders. I am deeply disappointed by these sanctions as they contradict our strategy of distributing Poké Ball stocks to young trainers in order to train competent Rangers.
Despite the imposed constraints, we must adhere to these sanctions and take measures to address them. The strategic stocks of Poké Balls will be utilized, but we will have to adjust their distribution to young trainers. Henceforth, they will receive only one Poké Ball per earned badge, encouraging a more thoughtful approach and fostering a stronger bond with their Pokémon. Additionally, during official distributions conducted by professors, young trainers will only receive two Poké Balls instead of the usual three.
I understand that this news may raise concerns and disappointments among you. However, we remain committed to our young trainers by strengthening training and education programs, equipping them with the necessary skills to care for their Pokémon. Simultaneously, we will intensify our efforts to prevent crime and combat acts of violence committed by certain individuals.
We must all collaborate to ensure compliance with these new regulations and uphold the integrity of our region despite the international sanctions. I am confident that we can overcome these challenges by acting responsibly and resolutely, in the interest of protecting Pokémon and ensuring the safety of our citizens.
I invite you, dear citizens, to support these measures and demonstrate understanding and solidarity. Together, we will overcome these difficulties and continue moving towards a brighter future for South-Kalos while preserving our cherished partnership with Pokémon.
Thank you all for your dedication. May the spirit of Pokémon guide us through this period of transition and resilience.</span>

Most notable building is the dark-stone Cathedral, shrine of the faith of Giratina. A quick trip to tourist office teach you a few thing :
Clerk-Mountsmith is the fusion of two towns : Clerkmount and Mountsmith. The region used to be swampy, but was drained a thousand of years ago to build the towns. The town grew exponentially one centurie and a half ago, when Mr Gilbertin created a design inspired by his Whirlipede, the tyre. He leveraged the pattent into the economical empire that is Gilbertin industries, covering everything transportation related - from building bikes, cars, railway to maps and guide about best place to stop for a night or a good meal.
Another notable company is Vicswell bottled water, sold all around the world.
>Town strength number 1 : Industry The town sports an advance research laboratory. The predominant research area are Meteorology, Volcanology and Biology. Oh, the Psy-type Arena is located in the research lab. Champion is a professor called Juan - sounding Paldean more than Kalosian. Weird when knowing the history between the two countries.
>Town strength number 2 : Research. The proximity with volcano grant the town the blessing of hot springs, and several Spas - hey, one of them is a gym too! Fire-type; champion is a young woman named Laura.
There's a few line about Vicswell too...
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">Vicswell - the forbidden enclave
When the purest water stream, a volcano's fire and flowery meadows meet, you get Vicswell.
This mountain is home to many pokémon which power is only match with their rarity.
To avoid them being caught by unskilled trainer, that natural reserve of nature's mighty is officially off-limits.
Fear not, as several roads leads to the slopes of the mountain. Guards have team ready to face challengers owning four badges</span> </span>

And they state how strong the guards of the reserve are, in addition to a map showing the several entry points to the reserve...

- <span class="mu-r">How are we getting in? We saw nasty-looking barbed wire enclosing the whole zone...</span>"
You quickly check on a phone... Looks like Cut, or Bounce, are no options. Dig, however, can be used by Woopers and Eevees - Delta-croagunk is not referenced, but it's a safe assumption as its normal counterpart can
"- Would <span class="mu-s">Dig</span> work?
- <span class="mu-g">It's worth a try...</span>
- Are there things we can try to shroud our approach? Matthew, maybe Half-life knows smokescreen?
- <span class="mu-g">I'm afraid not...</span>"
You all go out of the Pokécenter, direction North-West. A quick stop at a shop that doesn't look like much, but is an immense trove of dirt-cheap TM, and you try to get a Dig TM.
"Ya know kiddos, that move is a bit strong for no-badgers...
- <span class="mu-r">We haven't used up our Pokéballs yet... And we plan to do a bit of cave-delving - that would greatly help us...</span>
- Yeah, indeed, that could bail you out. Ya know what, lass? You'll buy that mislabelled "Confide" Machine. You get what I want, I get plausible deniability. Deal?"
One TM buy later - That you use immediately, inserting the chip in the back of the ball, immediately applying data... Wait - does that mean your hand-made ball forbids use of TM? You'll have to investigate that...
As you were thinking before getting distracted, one TM buy later, the 4 of you are out of town, walking toward the zone of interest.
When you'll get closer, you'll have to be subtle.

I built a table with zone-bound encounters. In that case, succesfull observation makes you pull in the starter table. Failure makes you pull in the regular one. One pull of each is free.
So out of the 19 pokémon in the "normal" table you pulled 3 of your pokémon of interrest plus bulbasaur in the starter table. Funny RNG.
However, it will be either a big waste of opportunity or a GigaStacy move to go in a government-restricted zone, catch a common pokémon, refuse to elaborate then leave. Mostly a big waste of opportunity.

An educative reality check and a good way for youth delinquency prevention.
Some other trainers slipped through previously. We try to answer the intrusion as fast as possible. Then it depends on their approach to the problem. Some manage to catch one of the volcano's rarity. That grants them good scrutiny. You caught three. This have never been seen so far.
The geopolitical and internal context is tensed as ever. I decided to create an independent action force made of young trainers - the ones that have good reason to be curious, traveling the region, and not unlikely to have strong teams.
Your nation have already done a lot for you - gambling its future on your generation, the government allocated all it could for the new generation - no matter how much we had to bend over on the international negotiations

Your rooster will grow. You'll need someone to take care of your team members. If your mom can't, the region is full of people that would love having a little helper and will be rejoiced of taking care of them for you.
So either try to ask her if there are some she can tolerate, or try to catch something small and cudly - normal type, fairy type and electric rodents come to mind.</span>

"Classified" doesn't mean "classified, barring for family, friends, and Joltik-tok followers."
Second, let's think long-term. You will feel bad being alienated from your only living relative - did you talked about your unusual familial structure with a Psychologist? We can arrange appointments, if you need.
A depressed agent won't be an efficient agent. The more you'll wait, the harder it will be.</span>
>- What do you advise? - <span class="mu-s">Get a first gym badge. It's an universal token of skill - even more if you get it fast without handling Pokémon previously. Then, go talk to her. Find the words. She'll understand.</span>
>- I'm afraid she will not. She's the one needing a Psychologist. Not me. She hates Pokémon. - <span class="mu-s">Then, maybe try to catch something that can be a good therapy Pokémon? Your eevee could have been a good call - but from what I've seen it's not the cute cuddly type.
Your rooster will grow. You'll need someone to take care of your team members. If your mom can't, the region is full of people that would love having a little helper and will be rejoiced of taking care of them for you.
So either try to ask her if there are some she can tolerate, or try to catch something small and cudly - normal type, fairy type and electric rodents come to mind.</span>

In addition to the several fields, a few rooms are dedicated to trainer wanting to train in privacy, or for protecting their surroundings.
You release everybody. And try to get all of them working on their respective moves.
And you're immediately overwhelmed. Ok, let's launch every one on the right track
>Apu : 94 You try to get Apu to generate fire in his pouches. They inflate, and he blows a handful of vanishing sparks, surprising both of you. You encourage him and move on
>Bubbles : 33 Bubbles? You'd first have to understand the move she used yesterday. And she's sitting down here idle, not understanding what you're asking of her. Oh well. You'll get back later...
>Cinnamon : 73 Cinnamon is watching carefully the other Pokémon. Its skittish character made him a bit wary - you choose to give him a bit of acclimatization time.
>Dixie : 83 First thing first, you might need to learn what she knows what to do. You've seen her <span class="mu-s">Growl</span>, you guess about <span class="mu-s">Tackle</span>... Which works.
"Can you try a <span class="mu-g">Grass</span> move?"

>Apu : 1 >Bubbles : 12 >Cinnamon : 68 >Dixie : 60 Apu apparently managed to do it - a bit too well. The door caught fire. Bubbles sits aimlessly, Cinnamon growls, Dixie is perturbed. You'll have to find solution.

You stay idle a couple minute. Something's strange...
You put your finger on it. All your team member - except Cinnamon, but he's a wild card - are amphibian. There is probably something to do out of that...

"Alright, Pal. You'll need every advantage you can get. Nothing like last minute training! And today... You'll spar against <span class="mu-s">Cinnamon</span>!
Okay buddy, today you're here to help <span class="mu-r">Apu</span> train. He lacks fighting experience, that you have plenty. So try to tag him each time he leaves an opening. You, <span class="mu-r">Apu</span>, you will work on overall mobility. Your hitting power is nothing to scoff at - proof is yesterday's victory. We'll face a fire gym, meaning we will focus on your <span class="mu-s">Tackle</span> ability for now..."
Time flies, with greater progress made. You make Apu practice attacks, while not leaving openings. Dodges, sideways, with follow-ups. Defense, yielding ground to avoid taking on too heavy hits. Counter, when opponent goes in without proper guard. Overall, you're quite happy with the results : <span class="mu-r">Apu</span> reached overall fighting ability of <span class="mu-s">Cinnamon</span>, maybe a tad more by winning most of the trade at the end of the sparring session.
Looks like your starter really liked the attention of getting your whole focus. And your Eevee also seems more relaxed : he's always tense nearby other Pokémon, even your team member, but the good spar without any incident made him seem a bit less stressed by the ð-Croagunk.
>Apu reached a sufficient level for the challenge Meanwhile, seems like the other trained hard too.

Danny is all by herself. Always have been. She doesn't spend time worrying about other opinion : she doesn't really need them, after all. Danny believe strongly in herself. Maybe a bit too much. Despite this Danny craves validation.
Effect : bonus to handling stressful situation. Difficulty handling failure.
After lunch, you head outside the Pokémon center.
One of yesterday's cop is waiting for you.
"<span class="mu-r">I'm taking you to the gym. Making sure you're not getting lost on the way or anything, aight?</span>"
Hey, the gym's a Spa! Looks nice.

>- It's your first Gym challenge? So it will be two on two. Leppa berries, Recycle and Heal Pulse combination or any similar effect are banned from this gym. We'll fetch the champion." A couple minute later, a red-haired girl comes in.
"<span class="mu-s">Welcolm to Lauratonic! I'm Laura, in charge of the place.</span>
- Hello. Before we start... You're a fire-gym leader, right? Why is there so much water here?
- <span class="mu-s">Not all fire type hate water. And they're useful around here... Sorry mister, but you can't come with us supporting your daughter, or niece, or whatever</span>
- <span class="mu-r">Actually, I have to bring back little runaway home after the match...</span>
- <span class="mu-s">Yeah, yeah. Same thing. I'll bring her back later, don't worry about it.</span>"
The champion brings you into a room with a magnificient glass-pannelled sunroof.

>Gym leader Laura sends out Torkoal You release Apu. And get ready for the fight.
"<span class="mu-s">Torkoal, ember!</span>"
Wow, your Apu handles fire moves way worst than what you would have thought. Will this oversight cost you the battle?
In the end, your starter dashes, sidestep, danses clumsily around the fire tortoise. Giving blow for blow, you're pretty sure your training session was crucial to the end result :
>DC : 75 barely met Torkoal faints. Apu stays - on his last legs.

You crouch and extend one hand toward the scythe-tailed Pokémon, a kibble ready for nibble in hand.
He takes a bite. Make a weird disgusted face. Spits. You chuckle, happy of your deception : it was a Normal-type fit kibble. Awful for a Ghost type.

Asshole. Still, you can't do anything to his Zubat - you take a mental note : a <span class="mu-s">Rock</span> or <span class="mu-s">Electric</span> type would be a welcomed addition to your current rooster. So you decide to ignore him, and strike a conversation with the 9 or 10 year old.
Read Kid with Butter's voice "Hello Kid. You're a trainer?
- <span class="mu-i">Oh boy, Um, hi! I'm Jean-Raoul. Wow, it's, uh, really cool that you're into Pokémon Battles too. Bug types are, you know, my favorite.

You send a grouped text.
"Hello everyone. Long story short, things were kinda sorted with Mom. We won't get best daughter-mother relationship award just now, but things are smoother. Missing y'all."
You get home, and walks on your mother, in one of her timeless pink sweater, staring at you with big eyes.
"Danny? You're already home?"
And anger follows.
"Come on young girl, What A Lack Of Manners. THE VERY LEAST YOU COULD DO WAS WARN OF YOURCOMEBACKSOICOULDATLEASTARRANGEDINNERPROPERLY *uhhhhh* YOUNEVERTHINKABOUTMEORTHEOTHERYOUSELFISHPRICKDOYOU?

- Met some really pleasant people, one insufferable kid, caught a new one... Want to see her?
- Oh dear... Wew, that one is not too monstruous... What pebbles does she takes? Normal?"
- Ghost I think.
- Gh... Gh... Gho... GHOST! YOU ARE BRINGING HAUNTEDNESS HOME?

Bullshit. But that more or less works.
After a round trip downstairs, your <span class="mu-s">kibbles are refilled</span> - oh, the perks of leaving with a bread-earner.
After a dinner with a bit less awkwardness and tension you expect, you go to bed.
Last thing you see when falling asleep is that Noah jerk's face. Catching a counterpick to his Zubat is getting higher and higher on your to-do list.
Speaking of To-do, you have to improve your relationship with Mom, reunite with Danny, Amelia and Matthew, and train for next gym, which Blitz for Arceus knows why advised to be Normal.
And just like that, it's Dawn.
You wake up with all your little one on the bed - Except <span class="mu-b">Bubbles</span>, you took the Mop's bucket for getting her a comfy space. <span class="mu-s">Cinnamon</span> went on a corner, far from everyone. <span class="mu-g">Dixie</span> went near your pillow, granting a fresh, floral sent. <span class="mu-r">Apu</span> is on your stomach, making you all warm. And <span class="mu-s">Espresso</span>? She sits on your face, pawing at your forehead to wake you up.
You take some time to assert the situation and set up priority. On one hand, you don't want to go too far from home and mom - the 2/3 days away thing seems a good balance between your mental health and working on a better relationship. On the other, you made little to no progress on your objective to regroup, which is a bit oxymoronic with the previous one.

<span class="mu-g">Dixie</span> only knows Tackle and Growl. You do your best to try and get her to use a grass type move, to no avail : looks like she's too weak to learn those moves for now. She can produce some liana, or plant-grown tendril that she use for dextrous manipulation, but they're soft and frail - no way to use it as a move, or an emergency rope like you would had dire needed in the partly-crumbled castle. You will have to make her fight to get her to progress. Still, she's overjoyed of the attention and the all-together time both from getting home and training as your most sociable Pokémon.
>Bond with Dixie increased! However, your other Pokémon really benefited from that training.
First, <span class="mu-r">Apu</span>. Upon your careful guidance, you let him express a new way to channel elemental power : looks like whatever he's producing in this fire-pouch of his is poisonous in addition to flammable. By lowering its pouch temperature, and breathing away, he can launch a poison attack!

His tail have been often twitching - and that gives you inspiration : there's a startling Normal move that use tail, right? Something like cutely brushing the opponent to lower defenses?
He gets it quite right quite fast. How cute, you want to spoil him - waitwaitwait is the move working on humans too?

It doesn't appear to look like Poison - you have minor experience with that as well.
It was quite effective against Amelia's Lace, her ð-Hoothoot. So not Ground typed. Same for the Water-type ð-Snivy of Danny (that you won't call by the stupid name the trainer came with).
However, you recall it able to take down immediately the hyped Shellder (Shellshock?) of Matthew, dealing with him easier than expected, despite the outstanding defense of the Mollusc.
A hunch is growing.

However, 4corns says that in addition to its prime mud wrestling enablement, it's a good foundation to figure out more difficult ground moves. You congratulate your first-ever catch, and it's already time to go home.

>>5731048 >You will join Matthew, for Aemilius overpass, or Resortlast. >Something more geared toward your mom's mental health than your team While the idea of a Rotom or Magnemite (or even a Porygon, no idea how we'd be able to take care of it though) sounds incredibly useful for any and all appliance/internet/gadgets we can take while also covering our electric type base, the other anon has a good point with the Ralts.
We could also potentially get a Happiny or an Audino, which could prove vital if we ever need a healer in the wilderness. And psychic types are just all around good to have.
Jimmy here
>>5731060 nah. i prefer the Ralts line.
A Delta Ralts could also be useful. What with it being Ice and Electric Type.
For a fighting Type maybe a Hawlucha could be useful. Otherwise a Breelom and its line is what i would like to have in the team. And it can learn spore which would make it extra useful.
Mom could maybe use a Buneary to take care off. those are usually pretty friendly.
as for using Pokémon as mounts.
We should capture GOD! or at least Pokegod Maybe GOlurk? Its relatively fast for its size and it could learn Fly in the past. Or we go for the boring route and try to find a Cyclizar
>>5731063 ooooooOOOOOOOh i forgot the healer part. yeah those would be useful.
and Rotom needs to be on our list for the future. its just too versatile to not try to catch one.
Anonymous
>>5731064 If we can't catch
PokeGod then Golurk sounds fun. Those guys can learn the elemental punches, right? And If I remember right they can also learn dig.
But yeah my main priority is to either get a healer and/or a psychic type, your suggestion is pretty good.

>>5731068 ah okay. if you dont want those spoilered i get it. it was more a suggestion for why it might be just as useful if not more so than usual.
>>5731067 i think it can learn a lot of punch moves. Shadow Punch, Mega Punch, Hammer Arm, Dynamic Punch. Brick Break(to smash Screens) and Drain Punch are all on the cards together with the elemental Punches. so also quite versatile with high attack and moderate defences.
