Beldum’s Shocking Stats

[•—•{James Morgan}•—•]

"Finally back to Scovil town." I groan out. Walking towards a park with Amy and Magmar, I take a seat on a bench and bring out my phone.

'I should probably tell my parents about a 3,610,00 purchase.'

~~~<Chat Dad>~~~

[Me: Dad can you get 3,610,000 poke dollars in cash. I got someone who will sell me a Riolu egg]

[Father: ????]

[Father: Are you sure it's not a scam James. I can no doubt get that amount of money right now but this needs a confirmation]

[Me: We are gonna scan what Pokemon it is in the Pokemon Center before making the exchange]

[Father: Ah 👌🤪]

[Father: Make sure to come back soon your mother is waiting for you. Also we've already prepared your schooling at PokeTech for when you hit the age of 10]

[Me (Reply to Father: Ah 👌🤪): Do you know how to use emojis 😂]

[Me: I'm in the way to the hotel soon. I've caught a Beldum!]

[Father: That's cool 😎]

[Me (Reply to Father: 😎): Do u even know what a Beldum is 🫡😭]

~~~<End>~~~

"Hahaha." I chuckle seeing the chat with my dad. I swear the sight of a boomer using technology, emojis or internet terms is undefeated.

With this I waited on the bench with Amy and Magmar for around 10 minutes before Hopkins arrived with a singular Premier Ball in his hand.

"Young James here's a Premier Ball. I thought it might suit little Beldum over here so I got another one just in case it escaped the first capture. So there's 20 Pokeballs in my storage right now I'll transfer to your backpack at Kanto."

Hearing Hopkins explain what's up. My grin starts to widen as I grab the small Premier Ball from Hopkin's hand.

To be fair though, the Premier Ball does kind of fit Beldum because of the white colour scheme. But the red doesn't, so I might buy a custom Luxury ball with White and gold colouring.

Not only is this because of boredom, but because I need to be able to identify which Pokemon is in which Pokeball.

I'm not omnipotent man. Not sure how these other trainers guess which Pokemon is in which Pokeball besides putting them in order.

I know for a fact that my dumbass will forget and mistakenly send out a different Pokemon rather than who I intend to.

Mid fight I'll be like who's on the third slot again?

"Okay it's time." I murmur walking up to Magmar. Taking a step closer to be next to the basket, I open the little lid and quickly tapped the Premier Ball first to expand it. Then soon after tap Beldum with it which engulfed it in a red beam and inside the Pokeball.

*Phsszszszzt*

*ring*

*ring*

*ring*

*Ding!*

"Hell yeah!" I excitedly shout seeing that I've "captured" my first Pokemon.

"Nice job young James, a worthy Pokemon for a future Champion." Hopkin comments making me flush in embarrassment. Now that Beldum was confirmed to be my Pokemon, I decided to head over to the Pokemon Center.

This is so I can check Beldum's potential and heal it with Growlithe at the same time.

"Okay let's head to the final stop at the Pokemon Center."

With this we walked through the streets of Scovil City quite freely. There weren't as many people roaming this place as it was 9:14 pm, thankfully the Pokemon Center is open at all times.

Not sure how Nurse Joy stays fine but oh well. I might as well diagnose her with insomnia or switching with another Nurse Joy, with the latter making more sense

We soon spotted the place and headed towards it. A thing that surprised me the most was that Pokemon Centers were basically like a motel to where you could book a room.

"Young James let me handle this." Hopkins tells me as we entered the building. Looking around there were only a couple of people like someone drinking coffee by himself and another reading a news paper.

'This place seems really chill.'

I was shortly brought out of my thinking as Hopkins calls me over to the side.

"James lets get them healed up first." Hearing this I quickly made my way over and handed Nurse Joy the Pokeballs for Beldum and Growlie.

"I'll be shortly with you, it will take just a few minutes." Nurse Joy pats my head seeing my worried look. Feeling a bit weirded out by this I don't comment on it as I was a little kid anyways.

It's not like I got a noble's pride or dignity from all the slander I faced in my past life playing COD.

'Like bro I thought saying the N word was normal because I heard it soo much at the age of nine. But guess what happened when I said it to my mum.'

Wincing at the memories of getting beat by a straw broom, I sat back down next to Hopkins while we waited for a bit.

Just like Nurse Joy promised, it didn't take that long to heal them both up as she invited us to the machine room.

"Here's your Pokeballs back." She says with a smile as I take them both. Now with them back in my possession, I first send out Growlie to see his conditions.

"Growlithe!" The excited doggo barks out as it tackled into my chest. Catching Growlie I start to tickle the guy in joy.

"Woah there calm down. How you doing buddy." I ask giving his ears some rubs. Nurse Joy seeing this giggles at the sight and sets up the first machine.

Picking up Growlie, I walk over to the scanning pad and drop him in the middle.

But the annoying little bugger ended up walking back to me with a confused head tilt.

"Lithe?"

"Not this ag-"

After a little bit of convincing Growlie stood there for a solid minute and finally got his results back.

(:{Full Info Results}:)

Pokemon: Growlithe

Level: 11

Talent: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Age: 2 years & 10 months

Height: 75cm (2'5)

Moves: [Ember], [Leer], [Howl], [Bite], [Flame Wheel].

(:{End}:)

"Nice Growlie." I comment with a grin. Growlie seeing my proud smirk runs circles around me, soon after picked him up in glee. "Your gonna be the bestest Ace in the world."

"Bestest? Not your smartest moment there Young James." Hopkins rudely remarks with a raised eye brow. Ignoring the very overworked and stressed butler I should probably give a holiday to, I send out my next Pokemon.

"Bel beldum?" The iron ball Pokemon hums out as it finally sees me for the first time. Beldum recognising it's situation through what it remembers, slowly floats directly in front of me.

"Bel dum dummm!" It hums out with a determined look. Seeing this I chuckle at its antics. "We are going to see yours stats now, I'll start your training soon with Growlie over head."

Beldum understanding my words heads over to the scanner I pointed to. With the time also being a minute for the scan, I quickly headed over to Nurse Joy.

"WHAAAAT!" Nurse Joy shouts in surprise. Soon after she blocked her mouth and swiftly apologises. "I'm so sorry, here's your paper."

Taking the stat sheet out of her hands I take a good look at Beldums stats.

(:{Full Info Results}:)

Pokemon: Beldum ✨

Level: 17

Talent: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Age: 7 months

Height: 64cm (2'1)

Moves: [Tackle].

(:{End}:)

"Damn! No wonder you were surprised, this is amazing!" I shout practically dancing in joy.

"Grawr?" Growlie not understanding a thing, just joyously joins in on the fun and starts to dance with me.

He might be confused but he's got the spirit. This went on for a little bit before we got interrupted.

"We still have two more level scans for your Pokemon." Nurse Joy says after letting me have my little moment. Nodding at her words I tell Beldum to float next to me as Growlithe gets his second scan.

~{]Level Scanner[}~

Pokemon: Growlithe

Level: 11

Nature: Jolly

Attack: 25

Defence: 24

Special Attack: 21

Special Defence: 18

Speed: 22

~{]End[}~

Seeing this I smirk noticing that almost all his stats have hit the 20+ mark. There has certainly been some improvement and I will keep this paper with his other document to keep a record on his improvement.

"Okay return Growlie."

Holding up Growlie's Pokeball, I tap the white button. With this a red beam escaped the Pokeball and surrounded the puppy who woofed a goodbye back.

"It's your turn now Beldum."

Beldum already knowing what to do, diligently floats up to the level scanner and stays there for a solid minute like before.

"Okay here's the stat sheet." Nurse Joy says as she hands me the paper. Taking a look at the papers with no idea if it's good or not, I just compare them to Growlithe's.

~{]Level Scanner[}~

Pokemon: Beldum ✨

Level: 17

Nature: Serious

Attack: 28

Defence: 39

Special Attack: 23

Special Defence: 32

Speed: 20

~{]End[}~

As expected both his defences are quite amazing with 39 and 32 for both stats. While for attack he isn't doing too well as I'd assume Growlithe's would get in the 30-40s by the time he gets level 17z

But this is understandable because of Beldum not learning any moves besides [Tackle] so it's all fine.

When he evolves into a Metang is when stuff really starts to piece together as I can teach him some TM moves.

If I can't buy the best Pokemon with money, I'll just use my canon knowledge to find them. Pretty simple thinking really.

With this all done and dusted I headed back to the hotel to have a good nights rest.

And so Hopkins can finally relax…

[}•———•{]

"Use [Ember] Growlie!"

"Beldum dodge all the attacks!"

After saying this, Growlie and Beldum had a back and forth for a while as Growlie was trying to improve his prediction and aim. While Beldum was trying to improve his reaction speed and coordination.

This is the best training I could up with at my parents other mansion in Sinnoh as there wasn't any equipment and it would take a few weeks till they arrive.

I'm not even gonna stay over here for a week longer. So next time I arrive is when I'll be able to do more "efficient" training.

It's been a few days since I've caught Shiny Beldum and today is the day Hunter J is coming to the mansion.

We've prepared by contacting Nurse Joy to come over with the egg identifier which has a 75% chance of finding out what Pokemon is in the egg.

I guess Ash got really unlucky when scanning as he always never knows what he has. Or maybe he wants a surprise I don't judge.

Beldum did a great job dodging [Ember] as Growlie never trained it until now. So his dodging was flawless for the most part while Growlie got exhausted.

This went on for a few hours with the training changing to [Bite] dodging after a while. Soon after I finished the session I heard my name get called out.

"Young James the poached you requested is back and at the front gates." I hear Amy diligently say as I packed up my stuff.

"Alright I'll be right there."

Returning Beldum and Growlie to their Pokeballs, I made my way to the bottom part of the mansion and exited the place.

Opening the door I could see my father with Nurse Joy chatting with Hunter J and her two body guards on the side walk towards the green house. Making my way over I hear some of their conversation.

"You've come prepared, I guess I'll hand over this egg to you." Hunter J says completely trusting Nurse Joy. Seeing this my eyes widen in surprise to the fact she gladly handed over the egg with no issues

To be fair Nurse Joy is a true neutral in most cases so she might of done this before.

"Alright this should take a few minutes." Nurse Joy says happily as I walked next to my father.

"Hey Father is that the egg?" I question a soon as I arrived. Father nodding at my words brings out a suitcase full of money from his spatial ring.

'Damn I'll need to ask about spatial items later.' I think to myself seeing the convenience of bringing one around.

"Okay all done, the egg is confirmed to be a Riolu egg." Nurse confirms which made my dad and I smirk. Soon after this my Dad handed over the suitcase with Hunter J's grunts soon after confirming the amount.

"I'd like to talk with Hunter J for a little bit."

Hunter J hearing my words just nods and walks off to the side to which I follow.

"Is there something you want kid?" She questions curiously.

"Can you tell me a way to contact you in the future?" I ask as I might need her services again. While she wants money, I got it and it isn't really much of a problem to spend a lot of it.

Hunter J contemplating a bit tells me the location of the black market in Saffron City, Cerulean City and Veilstone City with a way to contact her if needed.

With the egg now in hand we made our seperate ways as I went back to training Growlie and Beldum.

While they trained I worked on a little side project.

The egg was now in an incubator in my room, the doors were locked and the windows were sturdy I think. So hopefully Riolu doesn't escape when he hatches from the egg.
