The search.

Dust was currently looking at a B-rank Threat on his Pokedex.

A Gigentamax Gyrados along with normal Gyrados attacks an overflown city. people with psychic, Flying and electric pokemon trying to keep them at bay or sying while trying. Their deaths weren't glorious, One got splattered on a building due to a tail smack.

"Ninja-Greninja."

Greninja mumbled over his shoulder, eyes trained on the screen.

"Yeah, If they knock down the buildings, they could have made a trap for the smaller Gyrados, I don't know about the giant one though."

He knew greninja and Gardevoir would have to go all out to kill it, There was no capturing that thing because holding back would be detrimental.

Closing the dex, He went to get dressed.

"By the way... Why don't you stay in the Pokeball?"

Greninja stopped going inside Dust's shadow and looked up at him.

"Gren-Greninja-Ninja."

Dust deadpanned, He could protect himself, He had aura that could heal, boost his strength, reflexes and stamina... He had a lot of it too.

Rolling his eyes, He went out of the room.

(To think that this place was once a volcano, then an island covered with molten rock... then the water level went down and now they have a large island to live on... The Pokemon world is weird.)

Slicking his hair back, he looked into the mirror before going out of the building.

He needed a dragon type on his team, There was a cave on cinnabar where rare pokemon were nesting.

Leaving a Message For Nessa to not come looking for him, He started walking towards his destination with Riolu walking next to him.

___

It has been a few hours since he entered the cave and he has technically found dragon types...

An overprotective Garchomp protecting her children, a Druddigon protecting its territory...

And now here he was, eyes blazing with Aura and following two signatures that were nearby.

Riolu was doing the same, his red eyes glowing with a blue hue as he observed the two auras with keen eyes.

When they turned the corner, they saw two pokemon fighting... More like one hitting frantically while the other is just sitting there.

A fraxure using what looked like Slash, and the other was a pupitar... Using Iron Defence.

"..."

"..."

The two watched the fight before Dust nudged Riolu and pointed at the two.

"Could you...?"

"Ri."

riolu used Aura Sphere.

___

Maybe stopping the fight between the two was not the best decision he had.

"Fra..."

"Tar~"

Yup, they were Salty.

Okay, Let's see if he can find a way out of this situation... While ignoring Nessa's snickering in the background.

"Alright then..."

With a quick exhale, he stood up, reached for a Pokeball and called out Nidoking, Gardevoir and Charizard and Pidgeot.

The two stared at the giants looking down on them and got spooked when Greninja Emerged from Dust's shadow.

The two newly caught pokemon stared at his team with stars in their eyes before looking at each other. He could practically see the sparks fly between them. He sweatdropped.

Looks like these two were on board.

So He gave instructions to Fraxure and then turned to Pupitar...

(How the hell do I train a cacoon?)

Taking out his Pokedex to scan a pokemon for the second time for his whole trip.

he checked the pupitar's moves.

im the games if he remembered correctly, Pupitar learned hyperbeam right before the evolution.

"Do you know Hyperbeam or sandstorm?"

Pupitar stared at him for a few seconds...

"Tar~."

"I see."

He didn't.

He rocked forward and backwards indicating that he did, in fact, know those moves. That meant that he would evolve sooner rather than later.

"Alright, Try channelling your steel energy to your head, That's the prerequisite to the move: Iron Head. It will be a good move to learn now and useful after you evolve."

Pupitar gave his equivalent of a nod and bounced off to train.

Leaving Charizard to look after Fraxure and Riolu to look after Pupitar, he turned to the girl watching him.

"So... Are you mad that I left you this morning?"

She stood up from her sitting place and walked over.

"Nah, I dragged you around yesterday...Sorry about that."

She was scratching the mack of her head sheepishly. He just smirked at that.

"Well, I can't complain, You made me look good, Now I can begin my quest of charming every girl in the world."

She just looked at him for a moment with a raised eyebrow then deadpanned.

"Dont get cocky."

"Not cocky if it's true."

"Keep telling yourself that."
