The First of The Many

Author's Note: Hello everyone, author here and I have come with news. Updates will now be moved to Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday instead of the Friday and Weekends. It will now be updated at 5 pm EST because I am going to be more focused on my work and school, and as a way, to trick the algorithm of Webnovel into thinking that I update daily (shh this is our secret). Thanks for supporting me and you can now continue with the book.

"What do you mean?" Yoake confusedly asked Leaf. The former babysitter has a disgusted look to the trainer like he was served a life sentence. The utter silence in the scenery drastically appeared after Ren left, leaving the two with an empty ambience in a busy city.

"The thing you have done, you could have killed Ralts! A POKEBALL'S MAIN ROLE IS TO HOUSE A POKEMON FOR SAFETY BUT YOU BROKE THAT RULE! AND IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE USED IN A BATTLE!" Leaf shouted with a furious voice as she lectured the trainer. Yoake looked at Ralts and noticed that she was fine for the most part, but she was a bit dizzy because her grip was getting loose, and she wobbled in his shoulder.

"You should have told me about it then?" Yoake argued. Leaf was frustrated but she doesn't want to argue with the kid further, knowing that it was her fault to begin with.

"Right. Now, Let's go to the train station so we can go to your first gym." Leaf suggested. Yoake relaxed for a moment to calm himself then followed her alongside Ralts.

"You alright?" Yoake asked the Pokeon, "Yeah, I'm alright." Leaf stated.

"I was talking to Ralts, not you." Yoake hissed to his babysitter as he was far more concerned about his Pokemon than her. The Pokemon nodded as it shows that the trainer's worries are just hassles for him to continue further.

"Well, you could have asked about some concerns…?" Leaf asked the trainer but instead of doing what she was asking, he rolled his eyes and went silent.

'I knew it.' Leaf said in her thoughts with disappointment.

'I know you hated me because of what I did that night but trust me, I did it because I care for you, kid.' Leaf continued to utter her thoughts. She wasn't planning to tell this to him but she knows that one day, his heart and mind will finally be opened to understand what is really going on.

They arrived at Pewter City around 3 in the afternoon, they were planning to find Ren but it seems that she's nowhere to be found. They headed to the gym with potions, and a well rested team so Yoake can easily take on them.

"Ahh Pewter City gym, known for being rock solid and tactics against their counters but also have a gym leader who can't find a lover." Leaf introduced the gym to Yoake. She then looked at him and asked a small question.

"You know what you can do, right?" Leaf asked him, "Don't make me feel like a babe, I know I can do it."

"Well then, good luck, kid." Leaf crossed her arms as she gave a farewell to the trainer, who was entering the gym in the front door. She was planning to come along but the entrance shuts as the trainer was already inside.

'Do your best.'

Yoake and Ralts slowly walked to the battlefield as they were awaited by a tall figure at the otherside. He stands firm as he looks at the entering his domain. He has brown spiky and messy hair, an orange shirt with a black V, and a long sleeve, he has green cargo pants, and brown boots.

"Yoake Katsuragi from Pallet City, right?" The man asked for confirmation from the trainer, which prompted Yoake to reply and asked for confirmation as well.

"Yup, and you must be Brock, the rock type specialist of Pewter City." Yoake asked Brock for confirmation, which Brock gave a nod and a smile with fascination.

"Impressive, have you talked to any specialists before me?" Brock asked him as he noticed how Yoake used the term specialist instead of the old Gym leader.

"Yeah, Erika from Celadon city." Yoake answered his question. Brock then touched his skin and briefly nodded as he continued to ask some more information to the trainer.

"I see, You're lucky that you've talked to her 'cause from what I know, she only talks to her maids, and Professor Oakido. Anyway, I got an email earlier from Professor Oakido and he messaged me that, ``you want to become the World Champion, right?" Brock asked the trainer after his brief talk about his fellow employee.

"Well, if I want to climb up to the top, I have to start now." Yoake stated to him.

"Hmm, you do know how difficult it is to collect all the Pokemon championships in every league." Brock stated as he remembers someone else who tried it but miserable failed for a consecutive year. Yoake also realized that as well, even though he has knowledge about Pokemon, it might not be enough to actually defeat every league in the world.

"From what I can tell, you can find a way to get there. Besides, unlike then, there are zero trainers so I guess you can take advantage of that." Brock claimed as Yoake was about to interrupt him and remarked that there is also another trainer but it seems Brock cutted it off.

"Anyway, Yoake Katsuragi from Pallet City, are you ready?" Brock stepped forward as a screen at the far right opened and it revealed the name of Yoake and Brock, and their respective city.

"Welp, time to start then." Yoake ushered as he put Ralts on the floor so that whenever he had the spirit, he might drop Ralts in the process. He takes out a Pokeball, a ball that contains the Pokemon that will use its typing as an advantage.

"The first of the many."

"POKEMON GO!"
