Chapter 10

The next morning, I was awoken by Rattata squirming out of my grasp and Pdgey cuffing me on the head with his wing. Having just taken off all my clothes besides my boxers, I just threw them back on since you know they were the only clothes I had for now.

Honestly I was so very happy I decided on that outfit to go out with before I ended up here. The black boots are stylish, but are also of a brand that was good for hiking. The jeans again while stylish and looking expensive, were actually pretty durable and nearly as comfortable as tracksuit trousers. The jacket was double layered and durable, so it was warm and would serve me well for a while.

And my boxers are silk, so ma boii's are nice, comfy and cradled to perfection.

I returned Rattata to his pokeball before leaving the room and let Pidgey hop up on my shoulder before leaving the room behind and heading down to the main lobby.

I passed by a clock on my way down through the hallway and noted it was just after nine in the morning. so I roughly got about six or seven hours of sleep considering I went to bed at just after one.

My stomach was rumbling a bit, but I ignored it for now.

When I got to the main hall, it was to see Nurse Joy standing in front of her desk, conversing with two familiar people. A black haired boy around this bodies age and an older orange haired girl.

I noted almost immediately, the Pikachu perched on Ash's shoulder. Looks like it has already recovered then. They should be getting a move on soon, from what I remember, Ash left and hit Viridian Forest early the next morning after first meeting Jessie, James and Meowth.

"Oh hey, it's you!" Misty shouted, pointing at me as I made my way over. Hmm, she was wearing her canon outfit, but oddly enough she had a blue hoodie on over her yellow crop top. I think I vaguely remember her wearing it in some episodes where it was snowing, but I can't be sure.

It still left a ton of toned stomach and full thigh in view though. In person, Misty is pretty damn hot, and she's more of a chest on her than I thought she would.

..How old is she here man?

"Hey." I greeted them with a wave of my hand, "You guys doing alright?"

Misty smiled at me, "We're doing fine thanks to you taking care of those thieves last night," she replied, "Sorry I didn't get around to thanking you last night, but after everything wound down I was exhausted because I had to carry my fried bike for a couple miles to here."

"No probs, I was glad help." I waved off her gratitude easily. Girls like confidence in a guy, they don't really like arrogance though. Playing it humble will be my best bet for now with her I think.

"Oh, I'm Misty, you're Jord right?" she introduced herself and asked my name, getting a nod from me.

Before I could say anything else to her, Ash stepped forward and clapped me on the shoulder not, "I didn't see you last night cuz I ended up getting caught in that attack that put those guys out, but thanks a lot! You saved Pikachu!"

"Pika!" the yellow electric rodent on his shoulder nodded its cute little head and beamed brightly at me.

"No problem mate," I clapped him back on the shoulder as well, before reaching into my pocket and pulling out Spearow's pokeball, "Think of it as me returning a favour. From what I heard, it was you two that took down that massive Spearow flock right? I managed to catch the leader of the flock while it was still down."

Ash blinked slowly and I had to take notice of his eyes. They were a a bright, burning orange amber colour that was hard to look. He looked t me dumbly for a moment before palming his face, hard, "Stupid! Why didn't I think of that! They were right there for the taking!" he cursed, "I could have easily shut that idiot Gary up if I did that."

"You idiot." Misty snorted, shaking her head. "Obviously Jord is much better suited to being a trainer than you are."

"Oh shut up!" Ash growled at her while Pikachu burst into snickers.

"Good morning Jord," Nurse Joy took the time to butt in, smiling at me, "You'll be glad to know that the money you earned last night has been transferred into your account."

"Wait really!?" I asked, looking to her in excitement. When she nodded, I grabbed my phone from my pocket and opened up my profile on the pokedex app.

Name: Jord Odhar

Age: 12

Home: Viridian City

₱: 2,400

I resisted the urge to jump and cheer. The fact that I already had a bank account set up upon arriving here just made things so much easier. It brought a lot of questions to the front, but it made things so much easier regardless for now. My home town had been changed to Viridian after last night when I accepted Nurse Joy's offer to become an trainer on her roster.

I scrolled down a bit to look at my pokemon's icons, only to blink when something interesting caught my eye.

Pokemon Owned: 5

The icons for Pidgey, Spearow, Poliwhirl and Rattata were there. But so was another one. One for a Chansey.

My eyes widened, "You got one to agree?" I asked i shock, unable to keep the excitement from my voice. Chansey is my ticket to getting swole, and possibly my pokemon as well.

"There were quite a few willing to go actually, they were quite grateful after your help last night," the pink haired woman replied, reaching into the pocket of her white habit and pulling out a shrunken pokeball and holding it out to me, "And when I mentioned your starter pokemon had been stolen and you were interested in having one of them, they were only to happy to volunteer. I picked the one that had the best moves to help you out, and made extra sure to make sure she knew Heal Pulse like you wanted."

I accepted the pokeball gratefully, almost unable to believe my insane luck. It's a bit too much honestly for just gratefulness I think. But when I was researching the pokemon trainer profession last night, it did mention that those that sponsored high ranking trainers gained an increased funding, so the higher rank of a trainer I became, the more funds that would go to the Pokemon Centre as well, so maybe I'm an investment?

I shook my head, putting it out of mind, either way I'm just glad things are going my way for now. "Thanks." I said.

"Not a problem Jord," she beamed, ruffling my hair again, "I'm glad to help you."

"Your starter got stolen?" Misty gasped, bringing my attention to her. The orange haired girl was looking at me with eyes wide, full of both sympathy and possibly horror. "I'm so sorry." she patted me on the shoulder consolingly.

"Damn thieves!" Ash growled, punching one of his fists into his palm, the incredibly loud thud it made and the blast of wind that shook my hair from the simple motion was incredible, "Who did it? Do you need help tracking them down?"

Crap, I'm starting to feel a bit guilty again. "It was goons from the same group as those two last night, but it's alright," I raised my hands placatingly, "Snivy didn't like me anyway, he was just staying with me because I fed him. I'm honestly much happier with Pidgey as my official first pokemon instead." on my shoulder, Pidgey puffed up his chest with pride.

And I'm not lying either. I'd take a Pidgeot over a Serperior any day of the week.

Ash deflated, scratching at his cheek, "Ah.." he looked at the pokemon on his shoulder and Pikachu actually ducked his head a little bit.

"..Chaaa." the pokemon mumbled almost embarrassedly.

"What' a Snivy?" Misty looked at me in curiosity, "I've never heard of a pokemon like that."

"It's one of the three regional starters on the Unova Region, it's not surprising you haven't hard of one, it's the furthest away region from Kanto," Nurse Joy explained helpfully, "It's a pure grass type. Unova's equivalent to Bulbasaur if i'm not mistaken."

"Like Bulbasaur?" Misty's eyebrows rose up, "That must have been a pretty rare pokemon."

"It was," I shrugged, "But like I said, I prefer Pidgey, his species is way more common but Pidgey is also way stronger than Snivy ever was." If Pidgey's chest puffed out any larger he was going to end up choking himself or something.

"It's good to look on the bright side of things," Joy input, "So what are your plans from here out Jord? Ash and Misty were just about to leave to head towards Pewter City through Viridian Forest before you came down."

"Pretty much the same, once I teach Pidgey Steel Wing, him and Poliwhirl should be able to handle the Pewter City gym, and I'm hoping to get my hands on some good pokemon in the forest like a Beedrill or Butterfree, and maybe a grass type or two." I answered.

"Ah, bugs." Misty cringed.

"It might be hard to find a Butterfree, but there should be a ton of Beedrill around at this point and Venomoth as well," Nurse Joy hummed tapping her chin, "There aren't many species of grass types that live there, mostly the Bellsprout line, the Oddish line, the Paras line, the odd Tangela and I've heard rumours of there being wild Bulbasaur around as well."

Now that is good to know. Bulbasaur huh? I was thinking just going for a Bellsprout to be honest, and I'm still going to, but getting a Bulbasaur as well could be fun. And even if I don't find one, I know where to find an abandoned Bulbasaur, one massive in size. In Trovitopolis of the Orange Archipelago.

"Good to know, I'll probably mainly go after a Beedrill and one of the Bellsprout line then." I said. It will probably be better to wait for that Bulbasaur rather than get a normal one, I've no idea how Sanpie from Kalos, or rather his older brother trained his Venusaur on how to be so agile, so one with twice the bulk of an average one and double down on the main defensive abilities of a Venusaur would probably be a better option instead of trying to make a ninja Venusaur.

And if I can get my hands on a Butterfree and Venemoth as well? I'll go for it. I know most moves pokemon can learn, thank you Bulbapedia! And in the anime world it's just a matter of training hard to do it. Like I know how to teach Iron Tail, Energy Ball and Bullet Seed as things are already. With more variety of attacks, the more the attacks can be traded around by my pokemon teaching each other.

I might be getting ahead of myself and going all gung ho. But I'm here in the pokemon world and have no idea how I got here or how to get back home. So I may as well aim to make a good life for myself here.
