With great effort, Rasu managed to sweep Violet's Horsea, Seel, and Seadra, Technically, the battle against Seadra ended with a double knock out, but since Death still had two Pokémon he could use he was declared the winner.
Dragon Dance and DragonBreath were the most used attacks during the battle, with an occasional well-timed Thunder Punch amidst the high speed battle. Thanks to Dragon Dance, Rasu was able to surprise the sensational sisters by increasing her speed to such an extent that she was able to run on the surface of the pool, and even with their water Pokémon under the water, it couldn't fully block DragonBreath, and they still had to surface to attack.
Violet seemed pretty excited as she handed over the Cascade badge "So, now that you beat me, how would you like to accompany me and have a little fun, handsome?"
'Well, she certainly is bold. I'll give her that much.' Death thought to himself with a chuckle.
"Well, I'm not too clear on our relationship at the moment, but your sister Misty seems like she might have a crush on me, so I'd better pass. You're a beautiful woman, but I don't want to stir up that kind of drama." Death said, trying to be diplomatic about refusing her.
Violet seemed a bit disappointed, but nodded in acceptance "So how did you meet our sister?" she asked him.
"I approached a river to go fishing, she happened to be there, we talked about water type Pokémon, and a few other things happened and we went our separate ways" Death admitted to Violet "She might have just felt awkward with the way she kept blushing. I wonder if she was willing to accept that she had a bit of interest in me or not. I'm in no hurry though. I'll see her again soon."
"Oh, something we can tease little Misty about." Violet chuckled.
"Try not to be too hard on her, though, when she does return to Cerulean in a few weeks" Death chuckled and started leaving the Gym and once he left Cerulean City he headed North until he reached Jade Point.
Regrettably, the gym was closed down for a week, so he left the city right away and sped towards his other two destinations, after getting close to each of which, he finally teleported back to Cerulean City.
Heading back to the Pokémon Center, he ran into a familiar face that he hadn't expected, seeing her walking away from the gym alongside an Ivysaur.
At the time he had seen her, she had been holding a Bulbasaur to her chest in Professor Oaks laboratory and he hadn't paid her much attention, but now that he was seeing her properly he had to admit that she was beautiful.
She had long brown hair and brown eyes, and wore a form-fitting teal tanktop that showed off her C-cup breasts, and a sexy red miniskirt, leaving very little to the imagination, though she seemed oblivious to the looks many men were giving her, which were filled with lust.
"Hello again" Death greeted her as she was about to pass by him.
She stopped when she heard him, and it took her a couple seconds to recognize him "Oh, Death Rose, right?" she recalled cheerfully.
Death nodded to her "Indeed. I'm afraid I was so excited to begin my adventure that I didn't ask your name" he confessed.
The girl giggled "It's okay. I get it. I was excited to begin as well and forgot to offer my name as well. My name is Leaf Verdant"
"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl" Death complimented her and offered her a hand to shake.
"Oh please. I'm average at best." Leaf insisted while accepting his hand and shaking it "But thank you for the compliment even so."
Death was surprised since she really seemed to think she was average, like she was the embodiment of a certain song from his previous life that his mother loved a lot of that other song his older sister Kitty loved "Did you win your gym battle?"
("She don't know she's beautiful" by Sammy Kershaw and "What Makes you beautiful" by One Direction)
(ooc - No complaints about One direction now. I did my research. The song I cited was released in late 2011 and this was at the height of their popularity, and Big sister Kitty was a teenage girl, so this fits the timeline. Remember, he transmigrated in 2012, so while some time had passed between their songs release and his transmigration, they were still relevant. Just because they are maybe not relevant as much anymore is true, but for a teenage girl in 2012 they easily could have been idols)
Leaf nodded in confirmation "Are you going to challenge the gym as well?"
Death shook his head "I beat them a couple days ago, I've just been sticking around Cerulean a while to train." Death explained to Leaf seriously "Vermillion City Gym is the next recommended gym by the league, but I hear Lieutenant Surge is really brutal, and many trainers who fight him give up on the gym challenge after losing to him. And besides that, the gym leaders after him will only get more powerful since they'll be free to use elite Pokémon, so a bit of patience in training seems sensible to me."
Leaf seriously considered his words "I see. Maybe I should train as well, then."
"You are welcome to join me if you want too" Death offered, not minding a chance to get to know this humble beauty.
"Shall we head out to train then for a couple hours, or wait until tomorrow?" Leaf asked with curiosity while casually adjusting her bag.
"Lets leave town and I'll bring you to my training area." Death offered to her and proceeded to lead her out of town, and she followed him with complete trust.
Once they were well away from town, Death selected Genesis's Luxury Ball and called him out, and what appeared was a blue mew, much to his surprise, since he had trained Genesis to recognize when others were around and to only come out transformed into a Kadabra.
'It's a pleasure to meet you, Leaf Verdant.' Genesis said telepathically to Leaf and Death.
"A m....m...mew? And a color variant?" Leaf was shocked, then looked at Death with reverence, knowing that a Mew wouldn't partner up with a bad person based on the stories.
'I chose to reveal myself to you, Leaf, because I've judged you a good person, worthy of trust' Genesis explained telepathically to both of them 'My name is Genesis'
"It's an absolute honor to meet you Genesis. I'm a huge fan of Mew as a species, but I never thought I'd get a chance to meet one. You are as adorable as I imagined" Leaf insisted merrily, and barely managing to suppress a squeal of excitement.
"You may want to return your Ivysaur to his Pokeball" Genesis suggested to her "We are about to teleport."
"Saur, return" Leaf said, hastily obeying.
Death then grasped Leaf's hand and then touched Genesis with the other and teleported the three of them to his ranch dimension, a good distance away from the Moonstone and all the Clefairy he had brought here.
"Clefairy? there's so many of them!" Leaf said in amazement. She was thinking 'First a mew and now so many adorable Clefairy?' though she didn't say that out loud.
Death nodded to Leaf "I'd heard that Team Rocket might be coming after the Clefairy and the Moonstone of Mount Moon soon, so I negotiated with them to bring them here where they are safe. I gave them my word that they will not be captured while they are here, and I'll return them to Mt Moon whenever they want."
Leaf seemed a bit disappointed but nodded in acceptance.
Death was relieved that she accepted to abide by the agreement between him and the Clefairy. "While you are training here, you'll have time to get to know them. Maybe they will judge you as worthy of receiving one of their eggs to raise, but it has to be their choice. I am hoping to get an egg from them as well, but they also have to decide whether or not I am worthy."
Leaf seemed relieved by his words "At least there is hope then. I really wanted to catch a Clefairy, but I couldn't find any when I was in Mount Moon. I guess I know why now."
Death chuckled and rubbed the back of his head "Yeah, sorry about that."
Death's female Nidoran rushed over to him excitedly and he picked her up in his arms "This little lady is Queenie, my Nidoran that has been training here with the Clefairy."
Leaf retrieved three Pokeballs from her bag and called out her Ivysaur, as well as a Jigglypuff and a Nidorino, which Death used Analyze on out of curiosity.

"Wow, you've got great potential judging from what I am seeing from these three." Death complimented Leaf, who responded by becoming visibly a bit embarrassed.
"I do my best, but I'm not as amazing as you are. I wasn't chosen by a mew" Leaf insisted humbly.
"Well, I can help you a lot, but I assure you that you are doing remarkably well. Not everyone can have my advantages, so for a lone girl doing her best to take care of your Pokémon, you are absolutely amazing. Humble too." Death insisted and placed a hand on her shoulder "And it was not empty words when I said you are beautiful. I know many beautiful girls, and you are right up there with them. True beauty is about more then just outward appearance. If you take the three sensational sisters as an example, then they have good looks, but they are vain and proud, to a degree that I do not like. They are purely obsessed with the physical aspect of things, and it seems they have never learned to comprehend the heart. That is not beautiful at all. And your looks are not any inferior to theirs at all, you silly girl. You're just younger. that is all. Your heart shines much brighter then theirs do. I can tell that from the short time I've known you, and it has been verified for me by Genesis, as well, hasn't it?"
As Death kept speaking, Leaf's cheeks got redder and redder from embarrassment "You actually think I am beautiful?"
"Yes. And I'm not the only one. When I met up with you in Cerulean City, many guys kept staring at you in a disgusting and lustful manner, you seemed to not notice at all, though." Death insisted to her.
"Are you lustful too?" Leaf asked, ashamed.
"I only direct a lustful gaze towards women that have become my fiancé's or wives." Death insisted "I have 20 wives, you know, so I am somewhat numb to beauty. I can appreciate you without acting like a savage beast."
"Twenty wives?!" Leaf asked with shock.
"Well, since Genesis says you can be trusted, I may as well go all the way with the truth. I kinda lied to Professor Oak when I said I was from Alola. I travel from world to world saving them from horrific events. In the case of this world, there is a madman in Sinnoh that plans to capture Dialga, the Pokémon governing time, and Palkia, the Pokémon governing space, and to force them to destroy this entire universe. Genesis and I came to Kanto to train up and grow our strength until the time comes when that madman is ready to act, because even though I know what he will do, it is not right to attack someone for something that he or she hasn't done yet. In the meantime, I've decided to disassemble and destroy Team Rocket piece by piece. They might not be as bad as Team Galactic will be in Sinnoh with their mad ambitions of destroying everything, but they are still bad, and good practice for other enemies I'll fact in the future."
"What does that have to do with you having 20 wives? And you left them all behind to adventure?" Leaf asked, naturally concerned that he was neglecting his wives.
She understood that he was from a different world and that as such they might have different ethics, so she felt she had no place to judge him about just having so many wives, but she felt bad for them if they were being neglected.
Death chuckled in amusement "I love each of my wives and I would never leave them behind. One of my abilities lets me be in many places and doing many things at the same time. Merely one of my bodies is adventuring in Kanto. Another is off training my Gyarados on Cinnabar Island and trying to catch a ditto for me along with another task, and the rest of my bodies are with my wives and preparing for the future." he demonstrated by creating a body double in front of them "See? It is kind of you to worry about my wives, though. Each of them is an incredible woman."
"Do they not object to you flirting with random girls?" Leaf asked with worry.
"It may seem like I am flirting with you, but I am not. I am merely telling you the truth. You are the kind of girl where if you start falling in love with me, I will likewise fall in love with you." Death insisted "My wives know that I would never have casual sex. I'll only be intimate when there is an emotional bond of love between a girl and I...And while you are the kind of girl I could fall in love with, I'm not there yet, It' will likely come down to what you choose our relationship to be."
Death looked at the newly created body double instinctively as he started controlling it to go train the clefairy while he set down his female Nidoran and called out Rasu the Charmeleon and Aluc the Zubat, to join Queenie and Genesis who were already out "Okay everyone. This is my new friend, Leaf Verdant. She and her Pokémon will be training with us from now on. But first, lets feed everyone." he dropped a large table out of his inventory and rapidly started creating highly nutritious Pokémon food especially designed for each individual Pokémon, including Leaf's Pokémon.
------
Over the next week and a half, Death awakened Leaf's aura and trained her Pokémon and his own, and they all made great improvements, with her Ivysaur reaching Purple potential, her Jigglypuff reaching green potential, and with Death giving her a top-quality moonstone made using arc of embodiment, her Nidorino evolved into a Nidoking and reached white potential.

---
Through training with Leaf he had identified Sweet Kiss and Disarming Voice as two more fairy type moves and made many more observations in his journal, while making him become even more curious about this mysterious fairy typing.
Also during this week and a half, the body double training Leviathan the Gyarados, had managed to get the fossil restored into a type of Pokémon called Amaura which he named Khione, after the Greek goddess of snow and ice, as well as catching a ditto, which he named Janus after the Greek god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and ending.
Amaura, like Zubat, was just too young to train, so he could only play with them a bit while making sure that they got the best diet possible to maximize their potentials ahead of when they could start training.

------
Death chose the name Khione for his Amaura for obvious reasons. Amaura was a very elegant-looking ice type Pokémon, so what name could be better? As for naming his Ditto Janus, it just felt right to him since he was already naming one Pokémon after a Greek goddess and having a ditto could open a lot of doorways for him in the future.
Yes, Genesis could transform as well, but there was still things a ditto could do that a mew could not, like transforming into a phony face to potentially hide Death's true identity as required. This was the whole reason that he had looked for a Ditto, in the hopes that his speculation on the advantages of Ditto would be correct, and they were.
His body double had actually caught 6 dittos, with the other five all having green or blue potential. Death chose the one with the highest potential, an absurd natural purple potential, which had unlocked the abilities Limber and Imposter, for his main team, while the other 5 remained with his body doubles to assist them.
The fact that his body double only found six ditto and the weakest was green potential, gave merit to the fan theory from his past life that Ditto was a failed clone of Mew. Even if it was a failed clone its potential was still very good.
Death prepared one last meal for everyone before he would be heading back to Cerulean City with Leaf. Over the last week and a half, he and Leaf had become good friends,. with neither of them being in a rush to enter a romantic relationship, though Leaf had still decided to become Death's traveling companion for now.
He had even showed her his true Nephilim form, and she hadn't been bothered by it at all, which made him more convinced that she would eventually probably become one of his wives, but he was not desperate by any means, so waiting and seeing where things went was his decision in the end, rather then trying to force the subject.
As they all ate, Death saw Genesis float over from speaking with the Clefairy 'The Clefairy decided to trust the two of you and will start making eggs in the coming days to let you each pick one to partner with. They ask that you take good care of their kin and treat them kindly.' Genesis said to the pair telepathically.
Death nodded to Genesis "Okay them." he took a bag of top-quality moon stones from his inventory and offered them to Genesis "Please give them these and tell them they can use this gift to evolve into Clefable's. I was going to give them these eventually either way, but this should make the egg making process a bit easier."
Genesis nodded and telekinetically carried the bag back towards where the Clefairy were eating.
"Thank you, Death" Leaf said, filled with excitement at the prospect of getting her own clefairy egg.
"It's no problem." Death reassured her "I wanted to earn their trust to get one as well, so giving you the same opportunity to prove yourself to them was no problem at all."
Leaf blushed and shyly nodded before turning her attention back to the amazing food that Death had prepared for her.
He chuckled, finding her bit of embarrassment cute, then he went back to finishing his meal as well.
------
After eating and cleaning up, they recalled all of their Pokémon he he teleported them to not far from Cerulean City. He chose this day to return from his training period because he detected six presences he had marked with his power approaching in two groups of three.
Death disregarded Jesse, James, and Meowth and headed towards the sign he had seen Gary writing on since he knew Ash, Brock and Misty were about to arrive there.
"This road leads too...Cerulean city" Death heard Brocks familiar voice as he approached the trio looking at the sign. "Well...I guess we're headed the right way...And there's something else scribbled here."
"Yeah, well they say some kids like to write silly notes on these signs." Ash answered nonchalantly "What's it say?" Death could then see the trio and saw Ash looking at the words "Gary was here? Loser!!!" Ash looked enraged "Ooooh that Gary! I'll show you!"
"Hello again." Death suddenly greeted the group.
"Oh, Death Rose, right? I thought you would have left Cerulean City by now." Brock greeted him, seeming like a decent guy.
"Leaf and I have been training here for the last week and a half. I trained alone for a few days before she caught up with me and decided to join my training." Death explained to Brock "Actually, this is a good opportunity." he looked at Pikachu and Analyzed him again.

Pikachu
Type : Electric
Sex : Male
Potential : Purple
Level : 23
Ability : Static, Lightning Rod (Sealed)
Moves : Thunderbolt, Agility, Quick Attack, Tackle
---
"You are an extraordinary little Pikachu, little one, so I have a couple gifts for you." Death explained to the Pikachu.
"Piika?" Pikachu tilted his head in confusion as Death reached into his backpack and first pulled out a collar from his inventory. Attached to the collar was an item he got for defeating the Cerulean City gym. It was none other then a Light Ball, which exclusively strengthens Pikachu and no other electric types "The sphere on this collar is called a Light Ball, which strengthens a Pikachu by as much as double, though only in offensive strength. It doesn't help defenses or speed"
"Wow, those are rare." Misty stated with shock "Why do you want to give it away?"
"I have a few more. And even if I didn't have more, I don't have a Pikachu, and even if I did, I wouldn't find one with this ones potential" Death smiled at Misty before turning towards Ash "You have a Pikachu with this level of potential and it is being wasted. Yes, many Pokémon with the lowest level of potential can only learn four moves, but Pikachu's potential exceeds even most champion-level Pokémon. He can probably learn 10 to 15 moves if you are serious about training him right."
"Pikachu!" Pikachu seemed unhappy about Death's tone towards Ash.
Ash looked shocked by Death's words and recovered after a moment "you can't have Pikachu!"
"I don't want to steal your Pikachu." Death insisted and sighed "I want you to take being a trainer seriously and actually train your Pokémon right so that they will reach their full potential. In this way you can be a stronger rival for me. I need stronger rivals if I am to be the very best like no one ever was."
Death's words momentarily shocked Ash, and then he nodded in understanding.
"For your next gift's, Pikachu, I need you to temporarily enter your Pokéball." Death explained while carefully passing the collar to Misty for now.
Pikachu did not look happy by the words he heard at all.
While Misty was examining the extraordinary collar, Death pulled out two TM's that resembled thick diskettes "These devices can pass basic knowledge of specific moves to a Pokémon in a Pokéball. Not many know of this technology, so don't tell anyone, got it" he explained to the trio "As for the two moves that they can teach Pikachu. They are Electro Ball and Iron Tail. Electro Ball is stronger based on how fast the Pokémon using it is, due too using speed to enhance the electrical attack. This is amazing if combined with Agility and Quick Attack, and it is easier to focus on a single target then thunderbolt or other similar electric attacks."
Misty shuddered "Such a combination, and a Light Ball too? Aren't you turning Pikachu into a monster?"
Death chuckled at Misty "If Ash can start acting like a proper trainer, then yes, he will be a seriously terrifying force of nature, but to myself that is better." he then looked at Pikachu "Iron Tail is a powerful steel-type move. Steel-type moves are especially powerful against rock and ice type Pokémon, so it is a useful attack to master. These two devices will give you the basic knowledge you need to learn these attacks, Pikachu, but it's up to you to master them. So do you mind entering your Pokéball for about a minute, then Ash can let you back out?"
Pikachu stared at Death a bit, then finally nodded and looked at Ash "Pika-pikachu."
"Are you sure Pikachu?" Ash asked while retrieving Pikachu's Pokéball from his belt.
Pikachu nodded and Ash recalled Pikachu, then Death approached and pressed one TM against the Pokéballs button and activated it, and once it finished to switched it over to the other TM and transferred the information.
Once the transfer was complete, Death returned the TM's to his inventory while pretending to put them into his backpack, and Ash called out Pikachu and Death appraised him.

"Remember to train hard" Death said to Ash and Pikachu "If you don't disappoint me next time we meet, I might share more of these moves with you. But if you disappoint me, I'll write you off as unfit to be me rival and wont help you any more, so you get only this one chance. I hope that you wont disappoint me." Death then looked at Leaf "Okay, lets start heading to Vermillion City now for our next gym battles."
"We will probably both be able to evolve Saur and Rasu into a Venusaur and a Charizard before we get there, since we're in no hurry and we'll still be training along the way." Death explained, before starting to leave, with Leaf following him.
------
Death and Leaf had left and Ash, Brock, and Misty were left to contemplate what had just happened. Ash, however, interrupted the other's thoughts by suddenly realizing something "Wait, that girl was from Pallet Town. Always timid around everyone and didn't talk much. Leaf Verdant...Yeah, I think that was her name...Only she seemed different."
"She didn't say anything though." Misty answered.
"No, I get what Ash means" Brock answered "When she challenged my gym, even though she had a type advantage, she doubted herself the whole time. She may have kept quiet now, but she seemed tranquil. I guess that training she did with Death helped more then just her Pokémon grow stronger."
------
Death could have given Pikachu all of the TM's he bought from his shop in expectation for Pikachu's growth, but that would be expecting too much from Ash too soon, so he had only selected two, and left Swift, Detect, Grass Knot, Light Screen and Dig in his inventory for later.
Death did not forget about Team Rocket either. He had given them a chance to turn their lives around and to be better people, and they had not accepted that generously given opportunity and were still plotting to attack the Cerulean City Gym and to steal Pikachu.
Ash and Pikachu may have avoided their attention in Viridian City, but did not avoid Team Rocket's notice when they fought each other at Mt. Moon. Even though the Clefairy were not there, the two groups still crossed paths, and undermined Death's efforts to get the trio to leave Ash alone.
Death did not want to trouble Leaf too much since she wasn't accustomed to doing what needed to be done For now, Death would separate Jesse and James from their Ekans and Koffing and would capture Meowth, then he would imprison Jesse and James until he finished destroying Tea Rocket. After which he would turn them over to the Kanto Law Enforcement
------
Death really didn't want to have to worry about Jesse, James and Meowth, since during his training this past week and a half, he had finally accrued 100 billion shop points... It had taken a lot of years, but while his body double apprehended the fools, he brought Leaf away from Cerulean City to meet their new travelling companion.
He could tell that Leaf was curious about this mysterious new travelling companion, but she waited patiently. Death made damn sure to get well away from Cerulean City before stopping and using his system to begin the summoning.
Inside he cried a little as 100 billion shop points disappeared in an instant, and having an idea what he should expect, Death summoned magic to heat the air around him and Leaf, which proved to be most wise, because as the summoning circle appeared in front of them, and intense coldness blasted from it, covering the ground in 6 inches of ice for a mile in all directions except in the area where Leaf and Death stood.
Leaf moved closer to Death, intimidated by such a display, and also trying to stay warm. Death's magic kept the area around them above freezing, but she still felt the biting chill in the air down to her bones, it seemed.
Light gathered in the summoning circle and took the form of a beautiful woman with long straight blue hair and eyes. She stood 5 feet and 7 inches tall and wore what could only be called a very sexy military uniform with a short skirt and a top that seemed to be struggling to hold back her massive 34 G Cup breasts.
Among all the women Death knew, the only one with larger breasts was Ultear Milkovich, whose breasts were 36 G Cup.
"Master." The new woman dropped to one knee and seemed to be in awe of Death as she bowed to him "I pledge myself to you. My body belongs to you. Let me serve as your sword and your sheath." there was a clear sexual innuendo when she said the word sheath.
Leaf hid behind Death and wrapped her arms around him instinctively for a sense of safety and to feel warm, because this woman absolutely terrified her at the moment. Her aura was something Leaf had never imagined could ever be possessed by a human. Death's aura was very strong as well, but he suppressed it most of the time, and even when he didn't, she found it to be comforting, whereas this woman's was savage and tyrannical. In this moment, she could only feel safe by being as near to Death as possible, which led to her breasts and the length of her body being pressed into his from the back.
Death sure wasn't going to complain about her lovely C cup breasts being squeezed into his back either.
The last word the newcomer spoke did momentarily surprise Death, but he shrugged it off and chuckled. Death could only think to himself that Ultear had never been so bold as to pledge to be his sheath with such a lustful look in her eyes, especially not on their first meeting, but then this woman did respect strength above all else, so he guessed that she only acted like a woman in need of a good screwing, because she saw him and judged that the current him was stronger then her "My name is Death Rose. You sure arrived in a flashy manner" he chuckled and looked around at all of the newly formed ice before looking back at the newcomer "It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Esdeath."
