2 Experiencing Childhood Once More

When V first regained thought, he instinctively tried to open his eyes, key word tried, turns out he was reincarnated as a baby instead of being transmigrated. As he was listening in on the conversations of his parents, he learned he was born in the Hoenn Region more specifically Rustboro City.

'Well, there's not much I can do now, I might as well just listen to the people around me for more information' Thought V.

~~~~~~ 5 Years Later ~~~~~~

A 5 year old V a week after his birthday was sitting on the couch in his living room reading a book about Pokemon behavior by Professor Oak.

He was continuing to read when a shadow loomed over him and licked his face, this was of course Zacian, whilst normally he would have Zacian stay inside its pokeball, there was no one at home as his parents were away on another business trip.

~~~~ Flashback to V's 5th Birthday ~~~~

As V celebrated his birthday alone at home, he felt that something around him had changed, as he instinctively stretched his hand out, a small space opened up in front of him, he quickly deduced that this was his storage space.

He found a couple items inside, a poke ball, an earring, a music player, a timer, a rusted sword, and a note.

When V read the note he understood what the timer was, the note read as follows:

'Dear V

This will be the last time we communicate with each other however I'll be watching your progress occasionally, as you can see I've placed the items you've requested inside alongside a few extra things I thought you might like, the timer is set for the day Ash leaves Pallet Town and the animation officially begins, it will allow you to have a sense of when you were born. The music player is a gift for you as I know you enjoyed music in your past life, although there are only soundtracks from the Pokemon games I know you'll enjoy them. I must remind you that the Zacian in the Pokeball is a living thing, no longer is it code in a game, and you should recognize it as such.

Signed, God'

After he read the note, his first action was to check the timer to see how far off the anime was from his current time, it read 16 years. With an approximate time in mind he decided to leave the earring inside as it was too large for him to wear now. As his parents were away on a business trip at the time he decided to leave the city and head towards the Petalburg Woods below Rustboro to meet Zacian.

As he arrived at the outskirts of the woods, he found a clearing and pulled out the pokeball from the space, the ball was a standard pokeball but with a sword engraved on the top. As he observed the pokeball in the hand he threw it upwards as it opened and a blue wolf with innumerable amounts of scars appeared and landed on the floor, as he caught the pokeball when it flew down, he put it away and stared at the Pokemon, for a while one boy and one wolf observed each other.

If an outsider were to observe this scene they would find the height difference between the boy and pokemon to be extremely disparing as the boy was only 3'7 whilst the wolf was towering over him at over 2 meters tall.

V spoke first. "Zacian... do you know me?"

After he spoke he saw the Pokemon give him a small nod. After receiving confirmation, he continued to speak.

"I'm not the same as when we first met, that wasn't who I truly was, this is who I am." As he took a breath, he stretched out his hand to Zacian and asked.

"If you wish to leave, that's fine, you can leave, but I want to ask if you, do want to continue to be with me and be my Pokemon? What I'm trying to say is... Zacian, will you continue to be my sword, and my partner as I journey across the world...?" He stopped his hand in front of Zacian and stared at the huge Pokemon in front of him with unwavering eyes, there was a soft breeze that blew into the clearing at that moment.

Zacian at that moment moved and slightly lowered its head to the same level as V's hand and nodded, then he leaned forward to allow V's hand to rest on his head.

After receiving confirmation, V had a smile on his face and gave Zacian a hug, as he patted the head, he spoke once more, "It's decided then, from now on, we'll be partners and I'll be counting on you Zacian."

V then observed Zacian's information, it showed up as the following:

[Name: Zacian]

~~~~ Back to the Present ~~~~

After getting Zacian to stop licking him, he wiped his face and then tried to communicate with Zacian through his Aura.

During the time he spent in infancy to childhood V tried to utilize his Aura, while he succeeded in using it, the amount he had was quite small as he was still a child. He was curious about it, Aura felt like an extension of his own body but he had no problems controlling it, unlike what Aura Guardians say about having to train in its usage.

As he experimented with Aura more and more, he came up with a description about Aura, while Aura Force and Psychic Power were similar, the two had a distinctive difference, Psychic came from the mind while Aura came from the heart and soul, this could also explain why Pokemon are much more friendly to bearers of Aura than others, because they can perceive the emotions straight from the heart in the purest way possible.

He deduced that to communicate with a Pokemon using Aura, he had to connect his heart to theirs to speak with them, thus we come to the current experiment where V and Zacian were sitting down with V's hand on Zacian's head.

'Zacian, can you hear me?' Spoke V through his Aura.

'Yes, I can hear you fine, what about you?' Spoke a feminine voice. Startled, V opened his eyes and saw Zacian staring at him, he continued to speak through the Aura connection.

'I can hear you just fine, I'm surprised your voice is so feminine, I thought you were genderless?' Asked V.

'I am indeed genderless physically, however I identify as a female most of the time whilst Zamazenta identifies as a male.' Replied Zacian with an amused tone.

As they were conversing, a knock came from the front door, they both looked towards the door and V sighed, after getting up Zacian returned to the pokeball and V walked towards the door.

Opening the door there was a young boy about 9 years old standing there, he had light steel blue hair and eyes and there was a Beldum by his side, as he saw V he hurriedly spoke.

"V, you finally opened the door! Come on, my dad bought a batch of rare stones recently, let's go check them out!" As he finished speaking he hurriedly dragged V along as V barely finished locking the door behind him.

Yes, as most fans of Pokemon could tell, this was a young Steven Stone, although he is only 8 years old he had already developed his fanaticism with stones, as for how V and Steven met, it was not until recently, a couple of months to be exact.

------- Meeting Steven -------

They first met at a business party as the Devon Corporation of Steven's father and his parents own business were cooperating, originally Steven thought of him as an immature child but quickly realized that V was much more mature than a child his age, sometimes he was even more mature than himself which surprised him.

After conversing they found a shared interest in stones, as V places a great importance on stones as many Pokemon require them for Evolution as well as Mega Evolution and Fossils are also classified as stones, Steven was simply interested in stones as a whole, after talking they exchanged contact information and became friends.

------- Back to Present -------

As they arrived at Steven's residence, he was dragged into Mr. Stone's office and Steven took out a box with neatly arranged stones ranging from evolutionary stones to fossils, however there was one thing that caught V's eye among the stones in the box, a small marble sized stone with a swirl of three colors inside.

"Steven, do you know what this is?" Asked V, hearing the question Steven picked up the bead and inspected it.

"I think my dad bought this because it looked unique." Answered Steven as he put the stone back in the box.

'It seems Mega Evolution hasn't been studied yet or perhaps it's still only available in the Kalos region mostly.' Thought V, he wasn't very interested in this particular Mega Stone as it was a Aggronite for Aggron and he didn't have any plans to train an Aron.

How does V know this? The stone was identified through his appraisal function, he quickly found out it can also identify all Pokemon related items as well as Pokemon when Steven first showed him his rare stone collection a few weeks back.

"Steven, I think you should keep this with you, it seems to be special in some way." Said V with a small smile as he shoved the stone into Steven's hand.

Hearing this Steven took another look at the stone to see if there was anything special about it but gave up after not seeing anything.

"Well, I don't see what's so special about it but alright." Said Steven as he placed the stone in his pocket.

Then for a few more hours they talked and inspected the stones until V went back home. As V closed his door behind him and walked upstairs a voice spoke in his mind.

'I'm still amazed at how long you can converse with Steven about stones all day.' This was of course Zacian, together they learned that they could still communicate even when Zacian was in its pokeball.

'You wouldn't understand, stones are very interesting things to study you know.' Replied V.

'Well at least you don't fanaticize stones like Steven does, I bet he would rather spend time with stones than other people.' Said Zacian.

'Oh you wouldn't believe how right you are.' V sarcastically answered. As he lay down on his bed, he closed his eyes.

'Good night Zacian' Said V before he fell asleep.
