DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN SHIT

----------------------------------------------------------------------

We come back to saffron city and greet our parents. they are happy to see use safe and devloping into powerful trainers. We only took 3 and a half months to get more than half of our necessary badges.

On standard, this alone is a 6 month journey. With the rest of the journey expected to take almost an year or more. Almost no one who who participates in the Indigo league participate the same year they started their journey. This is because once one participate in a league, they are not allowed to enter it for another 4 years, unless you are the champion and have to defend your title.

One can still participate in leagues of other religion, but after participating there, one can't go to the same league for next 4 years. This is to encourage trainers to travel to different regions and to make space for new , up and coming trainers among a slew of experienced ones. After all, Almost everyone in this world gets a Pokemon at the age of 10.

Only a percentage of that participates in Gym challanges and an even smaller percentage ever get 8 badges, enough to enter the league. With initial population from which these percentages are calculated, being the entire world, even after the cut-offs from the Gym, the number of trainers are massive in this world.

So the fact that we were able to do the challanges we did twice as fast as standard speed was a showcase of our ability to our parents.

We had lunch at Dojo with koichi family and then I went with the girls to see my parents. We were greeted by the Slowking and me and Slowking had a chat about me needing help with my Psychic abilities. We greet my mom and spend the rest of the day with her. I talk to her about her discoveries and about the new Pokemon that chief Ranger had to set up the habitat for.

My mom got excited and told us how she got the idea from my Dad's Ampharos (Phini). She had studied about two other Pokemon that had similar biology as it's unevolved forms, those being Gogoat and Dubwool from region of Kalos and Galar. She had even asked for Meowth and Persians from Kanto, Aloa and Galar as well to study regional varients in depth and compare them to Gogoat, Ampharos and Dubwool.

I was excited for my mom's research and wanted to participate in its initial stages while I'm still at Saffron City. The girls even wanted to join me as they found my mom's talk about it all fascinating. We became the first interns at Ares Habitat and my mom finally got the title of professor, at least semi-officially. If me and the girls every gain the title of researchers, my mom would officially become a professor.

I give my mom the Pokeball with Dragonair from the Safari zone in it and she promises to look after it. She then releases it in the lake and introduced Slowking to the Dragonair. They are both lazy and they bond off of that.

My father came home in the evening and we greet him . We have a family dinner after which I drop the girls at the koichi residence.

Next few days goes by in helping my mom and her Porygon, take care of the new Pokemon and train them on which humans and Pokemon to obey. There was an established hierarchy at the habitat.

New Pokemon < Veteran Pokemon< My family's Pokemon < Porygon (household) < my family.

Porygon, as the AI that handled every aspect of the habitat was the top Pokemon in this chain. Under him were region heads that looked after specific habitats.

My mom's Galade handel's the field and grassland area. Her Gardevoir manages the Pokemon that live inside the mansion, as part of her duties as the household maid. Her Slowking was responsible for the lakes and water in the campus and her Politoed was responsible for the artificial Grotto (a cave that acts as swimming pool, it's beautiful) beside the mansion, made for human use, but small, harmonious Pokemon like poliwag are allowed inside. (basically Politoed is a Pool-boy and Gardevoir is a maid)

We needed our maid to handel indoor portion because of the amount of Eevee we have, and the incoming Meowth also like being indoors among humans while still being at home outdoors in the field, just like Eevee.

Any of the pokemon in habitat can climb to a position of responsibility, but they would have to become our family Pokemon, at least in books. For example, when Dragonair requested to become responsible for her perticular Lake, she had to agree to become my mom's Pokemon, instead of staying wild, to get the promotion.

Similarly, a few Galarian Meowth(steel type), told Galade that they had seen their elders and participated themselves in taking care of and cultivating Dubwools as mounts, like humans train horses as mounts. After my mom captured those on their request, they could be seen riding the new Dubwool, Wooloo ,Gogoat,Skiddo ,Mareep and Flaaffy.

My dad's Ampharos was technically responsible for all these goat/sheep Pokemon, but he had to stay out with my father for most of the day, so the Meowths became his direct subordinates.

After a week at home, me and the girls decided to give the Gym at Safron City a shot, but we were defeated so thoroughly that we didn't feel like we deserved any of the badges we already had. I personally had done well enough, despite losing, impressing Sabrina, the Gym leader enough to have her take me on as a member of the Gym.

With how bad all of us lost, I didn't let this opportunity to learn and improve go. Although, Sabrina was infamous for turning people into dolls in the past, she had a much more approachable personality when I met her. Once I told her about my Psychic talent and she was happy to take me directly under her wing.

I found it hard to split my time as an intern at my mom's and as junior trainer at the Gym. The girls had to cover for my slack. Because of our training with the rangers at the Safari zone, we were able to pull through despite me slacking in my duties as intern.

My Psychic powers jumped by leaps and bounds with help of Sabrina and my mom's Slowking. Just after a month of training, I was able to talk to willing Pokemon telepathically without needing another Psychic Pokemon as a medium.

The girls also made huge personal progress in this month. Eve was able to learn petal dance from her grandma's Roselia. Just like her grass knot, She couldn't create the petals for the attack and needed those petals to be on her for her to use the move.

Ava on the other hand, took up the sword. She had help from her dad's and my mom's Galade, who uses there elbow extensions as swords. She learnt the moves Sword Dance, Cut and Slash. She was able to combine her Poison Jab that she learnt at Fuchsia City gym with these moves and learnt Cross Poison. Though she still needed to use poison from Tentacool to perform the Poison Jab and Cross Poison.

During our stay here, the twins had their birthday. We took a day off from all our responsibilities and celebrated the whole day together. We had lunch and dinner with the family, but rest of the time was just spent playing in the Grotto or going to movies or watching a lovely Pokemon Coordination show.

I gifted Eve a miracle seed Bracelet to help with her grass type move. With it, she was able to perform her move Grass Knot even on barren land by making grass spout out of it. I gifted Ava a beautiful bracer with a hidden knife in it. I had infused the Bracer with Poison Barb so she could use Poison Jab without Tentacool's help. She can even use cross poison with the small knife that comes with the Bracer, while she had to Poison her Sword with Tentacool's poison before to perform it without the knife.

My mom also had reached a neww breakthroughs with her project. She was able to genetically prove a closer relation between The Gogoat, Ampharos and Dubwool family of Pokemon. It was not as close as different Meowth and Persian from different region were related, but they were more closely related to each other than, say, to a Taurus. But they were more closely related to Taurus, than a Charizard.

This proved somewhat that each Pokemon is just a regional variant of an orignal Pokemon. My mom doesn't know for sure but I know that the original Pokemon she is taking about is Mew, the first pokemon. The ancestor of all Pokemon. the Adam and Eve of Pokemon. My mom has some inkling to different legendaries as candidate for this orignal ancestral Pokemon based on their myths, and Mew is on top of that list.

With this discovery and with her previous work with eeveelutions, she was able to set up an experiment to create a new evolution for Dubwool, by influencing it's environment. My mom bought a lot of metal coat and offered it to newly evolved Perrserker (evolution of Galarian Meowth), in exchange for their steely beard. It was a challange to trim those beard off of the Perrserker, but we were able to do it with persistence.

We then used this beard that looks like a steel wool (often used to scrub utensils) and made some nesting for some young Wooloo (pre evolution of Dubwool). We even handed them some metal coat and taught them some Steel type moves like Iron Head.

These Wooloo were separated from rest of its kind, and were raised by Perrserker as thier own kind. It soon evolved into a never before seen Pokemon, that we named Scrubwool based on its speech pattern. They look exactly like Dubwool, but instead of white wool, they have grey steel wool covering their body. Their skin is rougher to handle the abrasiveness of the steel wool and their horns are made of steel .

They lost their ability Fluffy and instead gained the benifits if ability rough skin, due to abrasive nature of steel wool covering their body. It even learnt the move Autotomize , where it sheds it's wool, decreasing it's own weight and increasing its speed.

My mom was happy enough with this alone, but I requested that she talk with Professor Elm, her mentor about breading and held items and environment that affect them to turn this evolution into a new subspecies/regional variant. After all, a Wobbuffet gives birth to Wobbuffet, not Wynaut unless it's holding Lax incense.

Maybe we could try different incense and held items and keep them on the Perrserker environment that they were raised in. hopefully we can produce babies that are not Wooloo, but an entirely new species of metal type goats. My mom got excited and decided to delay publishing her findings until she talks to Professor Elm.

After a couple of months of experimentations , while coordinating with Professor Elm, my mother was finally able to produce a new species of pokemon called Steelint (basically Wooloo but gray), with help of metal coat and pure incense being held by a parent each. (Play on words steel and lint)

She shared her research for peer review and was getting great feedback from her colleagues. Creating/discovering a new species is always a headline worthy news, even when my mom refused to reveal exactly how she did it to prevent replication. She still made a lot of discoveries worth publishing with just the data she was able to collect while creating this new species.

Me and the girls also got credit as contributors to the project due to our internship at the habitat. But we weren't just helping my mom at the habitat. we took help from various Pokemon to help train our Pokemon here as well.

Both Tangela and Tentacool had evolved into Tangrowth and Tentacruel respectively. Due to the added ability of Thick Fat before their evolution, their evolved form's were much bigger than average for their species.

We had asked Tangela to use moves Sunny day , Stockpile and Ancient Power and activate her ability Chlorophyll and Regenerator while it was preparing for evolution and even during the evolution itself. This had allowed her to develop another ability of her species called leaf gaurd which prevents status conditions in Harsh sunlight.

Tentacool was similarly asked to use the moves Aqua Ring , haze and mist during evolution to develop abilities Rain-Rain-Dish and clear body.

Both Lapras and Tauros have been learning and using moves Stockpile, Calm Mind, Bulk Up, Agility and Rest, before and after extensive training sessions to increase their gains. Both of them look much bigger and were much more powerful than before. They even have more experience due to constantly sparing with my parent's Pokemon as well as Pokemon from the koichi Dojo.

Taurus had also recently learnt the move Heat wave, which he can use similarly to tail wind to increase his speed, while also dealing AOE damage. Similarly Lapras can use Icy Wind, on her back to give herself a boost in speed and deal AOE damage.

Yamask and Bronzor also evolved into Cofagrigus and Bronzong respectively. They were much more standard to their species in terms of size compared to all of the girls other pokemon, all of whome were larger than average now. These two were still connected to each other Telepathically. They still were exceptional compared to their species because they knew moves that were taught impossible for their species to learn.

Slugma, Vulpix and Ponyta also trained along with Lapras and Tauros to increase their base stats, while waiting for my permission to evolve. I had told the girls that I think we should wait for my mom to finish her experiment with Dubwool and maybe she can help us evolve our Pokemon into beter versions than otherwise posible. Now that my mom had finished this part of her quest and gained a lot of data from it, she was free to help us figure out our best path to evolution for each of our Pokemon
