8 Trial Starts
30 minutes later:
I finished my Breakfast and I see everyone ready to run towards the forest side. If it was two weeks ago, I would have been delighted to have a breakfast like that but Miss Vanessa fed me well in the last two weeks so that I could recover my lost growth. Either way, the breakfast was delicious and I am sure that this will be my last good meal in the days to come.
Gregory went to the side of Hoenn zone's entrance, I heard from some of the grunts that all the zones are connected and you can trespass them. Nearly forty people will be entering each zone, I would assume that the zones might be big enough so that people don't run into each other.
I stood in front of Zone number 5, I was ready to get in, so were the others who will be entering with me. Everyone took different paths as the entrance was big enough. I lifted my foot to step inside, I was excited to get my first pokemon, five pokeballs that got were basic red and white balls, they too shrink in size when clicked just like in the anime. Before I step inside to start my journey, I was interrupted
"Ohhhh, look who is here, The great nerd Jay. You better watch your back, there won't be that old lady Vanessa to save you anymore." said the fat bully of Viridian Orphanage.
Among all the orphans in the orphanage, this guy was the most noticeable as he constantly tried to make trouble for everyone. Looks like he already made a four-member gang just like in the orphanage. I think his name is Trevor or something, Vanessa always intervened whenever he tried to bully me, this was the case even before I arrived in this body.
"Trevor, get your shitty gang away and don't bother me. Even if Vanessa did not intervene, I would have been fine by myself.
Do you know why??" I stated calmly and started releasing the psychic power around me, I could almost see the three members around Trevor tremble. Seeing that the situation did not go as planned, Trevor also panicked because of the invisible oppressive pressure,
"Yo..u Youuuu wait, I will surely geeeet you for good inside the fooo....rest, let's go boys!!" he trotted with the gang in hurry.
What I did was a little trick I learnt in the last two weeks, its good enough to make the beginner pokemon tremble. I just ignored the running gang and put my attention on my current problem, How to use the one time use luck points? As I have no choice, I desperately called out to God.
"Oh, Great God!!!!! please activate the luck points, I beg you ", I devotedly begged for the first time, I am desperate because I want a high potential pokemon, this whole mission depends on how good my pokemon are. Just as I begged God, he answered my call as a blue panel opened in front of my eyes
APPRAISAL SYSTEM ACTIVATED
'Fuck you God, stop playing with me'
-------------------------
LUCK POINTS ACTIVATION INITIATED
/you have a choice to make/
1. Good Luck for a month.
2. Very Lucky for a week.
3. Extremely Lucky for a day.
--------------------------
Ok, I need to think about this, the third option is tempting but I also feel that its a trap. I am almost sure that I can get an egg of a pseudo legendary or a baby with the third option. I won't be surprised if the executives of the current Team Rocket kill me to steal the pokemon after the trial. I heard the inside rules of this trial, team rocket grunts informed everyone that no one will steal pokemon or interfere during the trials.
Even if the members of team rocket can't interfere now, what's the guarantee that they won't kill for an extremely rare high potential pokemon.
I should be very cautious because I am still a nobody, I think I will go with either the first one or the second option. I am leaning towards the second option because I assume that the first option might get me a Patrat or Pansage with good potential and second option might get me a Timburr or even a Drilbur. Although everything is just an assumption, I trust my psychic instincts.
"Choose option 2"

2 hours later:
I am currently walking inside the forest, I saw some Patrats and Venipede groups. All were avoiding me because I had my psychic aura out, I did not want every pokemon that sees me bother me. I see a lot of pidgeys and pidoves flying around. I can even see weedles here and there, I did not provoke them but just passed by without disturbing them.
This zone looked very huge, most trees looked like they were lashing and crashing against each other like drumsticks. Sunlight passed through the gaps that were left by the tall trees, no matter what you can never see the bright sunlight in here. Maybe, I can find some water source ahead so that I can relax for a bit.
Although I am not tired, I am not used to these long walks. I was wondering about when I can find a good potential pokemon. In the last two hours, all I could find were pokemon with red and orange potentials, I saw some yellow ones but they were the minority. I want at least a pokemon with Green potential, I was wondering if the luck points were true or just a scam. Suddenly out of nowhere, I heard the leaves rustling....after what looked like a long ten seconds a pokemon came out.
It looked like a replica of a baby panda, It has black and white fur, a chubby body, and has a green leaf sticking out of its mouth. This pokemon shouldn't be in this zone, if I remember correctly they were from Kalos. Out of curiosity, I said "Appraisal"

------------
'yes, my first pokemon has delivered itself', I guess its still a baby pokemon, it's not grown fully as a normal Pancham is two feet tall. I can use psychic abilities to subdue it, its a fighting type and it can be easily caught.
In desperation, I released my psychic aura out towards the baby pokemon.
The Pancham which had no clue about what's happening suddenly felt a heavy pressure and tears started to form in its eyes, not able to bear the pain it started crying loudly. The next moment, a towering silhouette stood behind Pancham, It was seven feet tall and looked menacing.
"PAN...GA.....ROOOOOOOOOO"
Ok, the only thought I had after looking at that huge Pangoro was 'I fucked up', Pangoro has a dark typing and psychic powers doesn't do shit, the intimidating look it is giving me said everything about my situation right now. I better run or else I am gonna be food to a dark type, Professor told me not to provoke a dark type by any means and I went and did exactly that. Fuck the 'Very lucky for a week' shit, its a scam.
I ran for my life not caring about anything, I looked back to see that the Pangoro is following me with its kid on his shoulder. I was sprinting madly for my life, the chase continued even after ten straight minutes and I was starting to get exhausted, it seems to not give up and straight ahead I could notice two pokemon fighting. One was an evolved form of Timburr and the other looked like a small brownish lizard, I can see the Gurdurr giving it a heavy blow. After giving one more blow, it took the lizard with its big hands and held it high to swallow it...

Pokemon POV:
Father told me that we belong to the category of fierce species and we. learn to hunt for our food right after birth. Well, I do admire him for his strength and all, but how can I go for a hunt without knowing the process. Mother told me that, unlike other pokemon, our species never raise their children, they are left to live off their own right after their birth.
I left the nest five days ago and I couldn't kill any big species for a surplus amount of food. All I could do was hunt some bugs and patrats, bugs are disgusting to eat but what choice do I have? All my uncles and aunts looked fierce and cynical, even their kids had some odd personalities. Mother said that I was an odd one out as my characteristic personality is rarely found in our species, but she also said I was lucky to have a rare characteristic that can give superior agility.
I have not eaten for two days and I am really hungry now, I feel like I need to blow some steam off. Last five days have been decent but now I am looking forward to a good figh....., before I knew what was happening, I was thrown into the air and that's when I realised that I was sneak attacked.
"Gurdurrrr Gurdurrr"
I fell with a thud, I looked at the pokemon that attacked me. It looked big and muscular but what's weird is that it's carrying some big object in its hand, it raised the big object in its hand and smashed me, I had no chance to dodge it and It hurt like hell. I was too slow for it but I am not the type to give up a fight,
"Sand....Sandile"
I used my fangs to bite the pokemon's hand but it was futile, one more blow on my head and I was feeling the death upon me. I did not have any chance to resist, no matter what I did it was useless.
Every move I try was dodged easily, I think I am going to become a food just like the patrat that died two days ago. Is this what father meant by 'Survival of the fittest'? I also want to be strong, so strong that no one can threaten me but what's the use of unfulfillable resolve. Gurdurr held me up and tried to swallow me with a gulp but before it did, I heard a voice...
"Oy, do you have time to eat peacefully? I think someone wants to say hi to you. Look behind, he is chasing me for a happy hug."
As soon as a weird-looking pokemon said that, Gurdurr looked at what's behind the speaking pokemon and tossed me up in a panic, it started running to the other side in a hurry. I did not know what happened but I was falling with high velocity, I am sure I will die if I fall into the cliff ahead.
---------------
Jay POV:
Now that I look closer, I think that's a baby crocodile. I can't worry about its death now, what I need is to escape, I also can't run into them as space ahead is getting narrower. Let's see if I can make the Gurdurr step aside,
"Oy, do you have time to eat peacefully? I think someone wants to say hi to you. Look behind, he is chasing me for a happy hug."
The moment I said that Gurdurr looked at the chasing beast behind me. It was stunned at the Pangoro's raging momentum, it tossed the Sandile up in panic and ran away into the woods on the right. I saw that the Sandile was thrown to the side of the cliff, my instincts kicked in and I jumped up to catch it. Then, I realised I was already over the cliff's end.
'Fuck'
"I am not the kind of guy who saves some random pokemon from death by putting my life on the line, why the fuck would I even jump over a cliff to save it.....Fuck my life"
I gradually started losing my forward momentum as the gravity kicked in, I fell straight down tightly holding the Sandile. The only thought in my mind was to put all my psychic power out to levitate before I hit the ground. I exerted everything I could before I hit the ground and thankfully I started losing speed as I fall, I still fell but it can be considered as a gentle fall. It was a fifty-meter fall which is very high for a human standard.
The Sandile in my hand was tightly clutching me and I could see the fresh red scars on my hand. I looked at it and it already fainted.
"You better be worth the effort, Appraisal..."
