33 Come hither my shuckle
3rd person POV
You see a rather large man walking the streets of the capital in some rather strange clothes, yellow shirt with no sleeves, strange black"pants" that don't quiet cover his thighs, something on his feet that aren't quite sandals , they are missing the ankle strap and the foot strap seem to converge between the big toe and the one next to it....
Not to mention he seems to have some sort of eye cover, made of black quarts or something….. and to top it all off, and big straw hat..
This man has a bellossom under his arm carrying it while walking, and it seems unhappy, strange to say the least….. but it gets weirder when you listen in on their conversation.
" no I'm not putting you down "
" bell bellossom"
" because you're trying to murder people"
"Bell bell"
"Why are you trying to play innocent like I wasn't there watching what happened…"
"Bell bellossom bell bell"
" really?....no idea?, still trying to act innocent?"
"Bell bell bellossom bell"
" ok I'll list it for you then, first offence, when we got to the city gates, the guard asked me for id and gave me a strange look...I saw you setting up sunny day to throw in his face…."
"Pfff bell bell"
" no, he didn't look cold….."
"Bell bell bell"
"Fine then…..what about those street kids asking me for money?"
" bellossom bell bell!!!"
" no bell they weren't trying to mug me....they were asking for money, not demanding it at knife point"
"Bell bell bell bellossom"
" and you thought an appropriate response was to charge a solar beam?"
" bellossom bell bell"
*sigh*
" what about the guy who was trying to sell me pidgey kebabs?"
" bell!! Bell bellossom!?"
" no bell….. he wasn't an assassin, and those kebab sticks weren't dangerous…."
" bell bell"
" what about the guy who and his friend who were laughing to themselves about how weird my clothes were?"
" bell bell bell?"
" really again? No idea? You didn't happened to see those leaves that started swirling around them?
" bellossom bell bell"
" yeah I guess it's kinda windy…..but leaves blown by the wind don't glow green bell, if I didn't grab you they would be dead…."
" bell bell" she looks up at the man with a horribly sad face and tears in her eyes
".... Not falling for you bullshit crocodile tears bell, you have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool ol Gideon….."
"Bellllllll" the tears disappear instantly and she slumps down in defeat.
Mc POV
God it's tough taking bellossom anywhere, she goes psycho over the smallest things, and not the yelling the middle of the street psycho, no the straight to launching a radiation beam psycho…..
And her conspiracy theories are just insane, and I have no idea where she even gets them from, TV doesn't exist, she doesn't read and I'm certainly not telling stories of conspiracy and murder....She's literally weaponised paranoia…
I managed to find an old dumpy mansion and bought it cheap enough, I wanted more of the property, I'll have bob and the boys tear it down and rebuild it, easy peasy lemon squeaky
No water though, not really a problem though, wasn't planning on bringing gyarados anyways, he's more of a small country town kinda fish...…not to mention he likes to go to ocean and fight 2-3 times a week and sleep the other days.
So no fish buddy in the capital, which is fine, he's only one teleport away, not to mention I'll feel better if he's there in case shit goes down in little town…..I spoke to him about it and he seemed cool with it so it makes it easy.
What isn't so easy is to find a fucking shuckle guy, there's a fucking ratatta guy, but no shuckle guy…..I knew they were unpopular, but literally, people wouldn't pick them off the ground if they were free….
I got a lead on a guy that raises shuckle down by a small river just out of town... well nothing bad ever happens with homeless people down by the river… so it should be fine…..
I make my way out of town to a small river, I search upstream a bit until I come across a small tent…..I say tent but it's a leather tarp over a branch...
Gideon" hello, anyone around?"
I suddenly heard some rustling inside the tarp, god I hope I didn't just catch him jerking off…
Shuckle guy? " yes, give me a second"
Yeah... he was jerking off, better not try to shake my hand…..
And I see a man step out, fitting the perfect image of a bum, but it is the Middle Ages, this guy might as well be middle class…
Shuckle guy " alright I'm out, and what can I do for you my friend?"
Gideon " I'm looking for a shuckle egg, freshly laid as I need it in about 3 and a half months, give or take…"
Shuckle guy "...while I do raise shuckle....can you tell me why you want one before we go any further?"
This guy is super suspicious of me, do shuckle a even targeted for shit?, no one kidnaps a shuckle to sell…..or do they?"
Gideon " I'm entering the noble academy in 4 months and I need a shuckle for it"
Shuckle guy " hmmm, that's the thing where noble kids have to hatch and raise a Pokémon at the academy right? And they only get one Pokémon right?"
This guy is awfully informed for a river hobo raising big turtle things…..
Gideon " yeah, and I've decided I want my Pokémon to be shuckle"
Shuckle guy " is this some kind of joke? You want a shuckle for that?, I'm not going to hand over any shuckle if you're just going to abandon them later…."
Gideon " listen guy, I'm not going to abandon shuckle, I want a shuckle for pure and honest reasons"
Shuckle guy " oh?and what reasons are those?"
Gideon " there are going to be a lot of bright eyed, bushy tailed and hopeful nobles going to that academy to learn and better themselves for the future... and I want to shit on all their dreams and aspirations by dunking on all of them with a shuckle, the most "useless" Pokémon known to man….."
The shuckle guy was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a moment, and apparently stunned again for a moment before he spoke up.
Shuckle guy " you know shuckle aren't battlers right?, they might be hard to hurt but they can't hurt anything in return…."
Gideon " you let me worry about that, I just need the egg, do you have any or not…."
Finally agreeing to show me his little shuckle stash I found an egg that was laid this morning, but I had to be sure on the time or it would be all for nothing if it came to early, I didn't want to waste a freebie on the incubator i forgot to bring to i called out metagross..
Shuckle guy almost fainted when he saw him…
Gideon" hey buddy mind ducking Home and grabbing an incubator for me?"
With a sound of agreement he teleports out, and back again within 3 minutes, i out the egg into the incubator, it does it's thing fills up and a timer pops with with 3 months and 26 days, nice, that will work just fine….
Well I got me a shuckle, a shitty mansion and stopped bell from murderin some folks, I'd say a good day…
