Ch12- A New Teammate

As we were in the middle of eating, we thought we would finish it and then battle.

The guest who arrived with teleport was rather small. She has thin arms and legs that widen toward the feet. There is a wispy extension trailing off the back of her feet, creating the overall impression of a nightgown or oversized dress. Most of her face is covered by blue hair that resembles a bowl cut, but a pair of pinkish-red eye was sometimes visible. There are two flat, orange horns on top of her head: a large one toward the front and a smaller one at the back.

She was a shiny ralts which is rarest of the rare. In the games Ralts were easy to get but in the world of pokemon, they are rarer than abra. Unlike abra who randomly teleport, Ralts race can sense emotions. They only come out if they feel positive emotions from the opposite party. If anyone had a thought of catching it, they would teleport away but this one in the front is completely different from the norm.

She is too bold and a big glutton. Where does all that food go?

'She just finished a days worth and is still not stopping.'

Anyways, we finished our lunch and we are ready for battle. I will use Scyther for this, Riolu will get her ass kicked if she takes on Ralts. Riolu is not grown enough to take on a double type disadvantage.

"Scyther, you will be the one battling her."

"Scy Scyther"

"Ok Ralts, we are ready"

Ralts took her position opposite to us and was prepared. "Scyther agility multiple times, boost it up to its max speed."

Ralts started using psybeam and Scyther was dodging them easily, but suddenly she teleported right above Scyther and put a point-blank psybeam. Scyther hit the ground and a dust cloud was formed.

"Now is your chance Scyther, steel wing straight up." Scyther with its boosted speed hit her with a super-effective move, but Ralts looked like she did not take much damage.

Ralts then teleported far away and was using confusion. "Scyther surround yourself with dark energy, use pursuit."

Due to pursuit being a dark type move, confusion did not do much damage and Ralts was hit by pursuit. Ralts was caught off guard by pursuit.

"Take this chance and use steel wing." this time steel wing hit straight on her neck and she flew back up to 10 metres, Ralts looked a bit tired now but Scyther was also panting for breath.

'I need to finish it fast'

"Scyther get close with pursuit again"

When Scyther hit her with pursuit, she did not dodge as if waiting for this moment. She immediately surrounded her self with fairy energy and unleased a draining kiss.

'Shit' it was at this moment I knew I fucked up. Draining kiss drains Scythers energy and Ralts heals nearly equal to the amount of damage done. Scyther fainted and I lost.

I thought Ralts was the one who was arrogant, but I realized now that since coming to this world, I never acted like a human who belonged here. I was still acting like a gamer.

"Ok Ralts, you win and I will make dinner for you today. You were too good and we weren't a match for you."

[No problem Sir, I know that I am stronger than your pokemon. Although I look smaller, I am more than 5 years old. Your Scyther is just a year old and is still not fully grown.]

'Wait a minute!!!!!! wtf, Scyther is a one-year-old????'

"How do you even know Scyther's age?"

[ I asked him while having lunch and he told he recently joined your team to become strong.]

"Oh.....but still, a loss is a loss and I won't give reasons."

[Sir, I know we had a bet but I still want to join your team. You trained a one-year-old scyther to match evenly with me and I feel no dark emotions from you, unlike the other humans who travel around here. I also can feel that you desperately want me on your team.]

"I do want you on my team but I still lost, if you really don't mind then I would be very happy to welcome you."

[Sure sir, I also like your food and its easier to have it come to you than search for it. I am tired of going hungry every day, I could steal but I hate to do that. What I did before was my desperate attempt as I did not have anything for days.]

'I knew it' Everything she said was bull shit and food is the only reason she wants to be on our team. Either way, I don't mind it. I am rich and can afford her daily consumption.

"So what's your story? I don't think you can find a single Ralts in the whole of Kanto."

[ I am actually from Hoenn region. My mother and siblings abandoned me as I looked different from them. As I grew, I started talking, unlike the other Ralts in our group. Everyone thought I was a freak and banished me but when a passing trainer talked about how there are no Ralts in Kanto, I thought it would be better to come here so that no one can call me a freak. All this happened two years ago, I had to sneak inside ships and planes to get here. It took me a lot to survive and had to go hungry for several days. I never thought of becoming a Pokemon of someone but you...are different, I can't pinpoint in what ways but there is something completely different.]

'That's one hell of a cliche story. You can even make a movie on her called ''The abandoned''. But what does she mean by me being different, maybe others have thoughts of selling her but unlike them I have a gamers perspective, the only thoughts I had was recruiting her and no other dark thoughts. So gamers perspective helps in some ways then.

"You had such a tough life till now. I think it helped you become matured and your psychic powers are very strong. So to be on my team you need to get inside this Pokeball here."

She tapped on the Pokeball and was sucked in. I released her to scan with my Pokedex. I told her about Pokedex

"This is a Pokedex and I will scan you to check your condition"

[Sure sir]

::::::::::::::::::

Ralts - The feeling Pokemon (Shiny)

Type - Psychic/Fairy

Gender- Female

Ability- Telepathy

Status- Malnourished

Ralts senses the emotions of people using the horns on its head. This Pokémon rarely appears before people. But when it does, it draws closer if it senses that the person has a positive disposition.

Moves- Teleport, Confusion, Draining kiss, Psybeam, Hypnosis, Life dew, Calm mind.

Egg moves- Shadow sneak.

::::::::::::::::::

'Shit she was malnourished' and what's up with so many moves, she already learnt life dew and Calm mind. So, the only thing that's keeping her from evolving is her pitiful status. When she told her story, I even mocked her, by saying what she went through as a cliche story. I think what she told was just a summary and there's more to it.

I don't know why but I put away my Pokedex and hugged her. She was startled for a second but when she felt my genuine emotion, she calmed down. "Don't worry Ralts, although your family abandoned you, we never will."

Riolu who was silent till now came closer to her and patted her. I think I am finally realizing that this world is not a game and is real. For the first time since I came here, I felt like I belong here.

Fun Fact:

There is a theory that all Dittos are the failed clones of Mew. Team Rockets failed experiments to create Mewtwo was the reason.
