Yey, I'm an assistant now

"Okay, Dust, you will be sticking with me for a few days, get the handle of things, and after a week, you can assist my research by giving me ideas".

The day went by in a blur, the whole day was exhausting, the number of things Oak had him do was a workout in itself.

The next time someone said being an assistant for a professor is easy, they would get an aura-covered fist in the face.

He had to monitor many Pokemon, starters, Charizard, Blastoise, and Vinasour.

He had to make sure many times that they didn't start trouble, with the help of Alakazam and Dragonite sometimes.

Tobirama and Yuki would stop any other Pokemon fights, such as Mankey, Sandshrew, Ekans, Ratata, and Raticate.

It's a good thing there were no bulls here, ash just catches too much of those in the future.

Tobirama and Yuki are some of the strongest Pokemon in the Ranch if one didn't count the Arcenine, Dragonite, and Alakazam.

They could take on the Charizard, Vinasour, and Blastoise if they teamed up, but would have a hard time if they were alone.

Dust knew the two were ready to evolve, but they were holding themselves back, they wanted to get as strong as they could before evolving.

The reason for this was when Professor gave a theory about evolution.

"If a Pokemon gets as strong as it can before evolving, they will have more power and potential when they do evolve".

That was the reason why they had two ever stones bands on their wrists.

Volunteering for the experiment, they agreed to hold off their evolution to test Oaks theory, it would be good even if the theory didn't turn out to be true, they would benefit from this.

Tobirama for example learned Arial ace, and protect.

He was working on mastering Arial ace, wanting to fight with it constantly and not just for a few punches, and the training of his mindreader was Going better than ever, He could keep it up constantly in a fight, but it took stamina which he had a lot of, The speed training was intense, he now had three weights that ware turned to the max.

Yuki, on the other hand, could now lift four large boulders in the air not breaking a sweat, she could add two but strained with six, it was her max amount and didn't advance more for a year now, so she was trying to toy with the moves, She learned the move: Hipnosis, calm mind and Psychic while Tobirama thought her Protect.

Soon he would have to ask Professors Pokemon for help.

Since Yuki could not advance on her own anymore Alakazam would be of great help and teach her some moves such as Light Screen and shadow ball.

And Gengar could teach Tobirama the Shadow sneak and night slash.

He, himself had to work on his Aura, A few Riolu were looking at him weirdly, and Professor oak was noticing and looked contemplative about it.

the next thing he knew was a newly hatched Riolu being shoved into his hands.

when asked why Professor answered that he talked with Alakazam who asked Riolu for the reason of their looks, and he figured out that Dust had control over aura.

Oak talked it over with the Aura guardians and it was decided that he would get a Riolu.

He was complex about the situation, he wanted a Riolu, He wanted a Lucario, but it felt like he was receiving everything on a silver platter.

Tonirama was with him since he was a child, He caught Yuki without any resistance and now he had Riolu that he decided to name Anubis.

And to think that he was still thirteen, and had half of his team already.

The matter of Arcenine was still confusing for Dust.

when he asked Professor about how he caught his own, the answer was simple.

"he was already an Arcenine when I caught him, his species are very rare, Arcenine is called "The Legendary pokemon" for a reason, my boy, no one knows why Arcenines children are Growlith but other professors are trying to figure it out".

Dust looked confused which showed with his raised eyebrow.

"Is there any progress?".

Oak just shook his head in response.

"I'm afraid not much, There are only two known, and mine doesn't want to leave so im leading the research right now".

Dust was very confused, what was so hard, firestone was the answer.

If he was telling the truth, then a Growlith evolved by touching a Firestone in the wild, and the. Oak found him.

Or he was lying and he knew how to evolve a Growlith and could not say it.

The question about Mega evolution was not asked.

___

He was fourteen and he was about to be tortured.

"Son, it's time to talk about the Pedgeot and Beedrill".

His father said, looking too serious for this situation.

(...What the fuck? Peugeot and Beedrill?).
