So The Journey Begins!

After saying my goodbyes to my family, I make a quick stop at Professor elm's lab. I walk up to one of the assistance and request to speak to him. After 5 - 10 minutes i am escorted to the professor's personal lab where he can be seen working on his computer, most likely on his latest experience or Pokemon find.

Ahriman: "Hello professor, I'm just stopping by before i set off for my adventure."

Professor Elm: "Ahriman, glad you stopped by. I need to give you this, now where did i put it." The professor can be seen rummaging around different desks and piles of folder and paper before finally, "Ah, here it is. You will need a Pokedex on your adventure. It will help you identify any known species of Pokemon and will record any new species of Pokemon if you input the data. It will also act as your personal ID and will allow you to buy specific Pokemon goods from stores." Ahriman can remember this recently being passed due to too many unofficial trainers carrying pokeballs around and incidents where Pokemon were misused. Watching news about people being massacred and building destroyed because 2 trainers disagreed and got into a heated argument needed to stop. So having trainers register allows enforcement agencies to quickly identify any registered troublemakers.

Ahriman: "Thanks Professor. I'll keep this safe."

Professor: "Good luck Ahriman and safe journeys."

Ahriman then left the lab and stared at route 29, he could the wind blowing through the grass and tress. The occasional Pokemon cries could be heard in the distance. Ahriman started walk out into the forest and just as the town started to be obscured, he looked back and started to grin, 'Finally i can do things at my own pace.'. He started walking further into the forest and found a suitable location to camp, he found a clearing with no visible marks or tracks and heard little to no Pokemon in the area. he set up camp and called out his Pokemon. Abra and Natu were surprised to be called out in a unfamiliar location with no obvious threat or any other person. Looking towards Ahriman, he finally spoke. "We have started our journey and have 3 years to train up and get the gym badges in order to participate in the next Johto league. We will be taking on the gyms whenever we reach a city with one present. I'm aiming to increase our party size and train more Pokemon with either psychic typing with another type, but that is for the future me to consider whom to add. For now, we will be training in the forest to master our energy and make it so that we spend as little energy as needed on moves."

Ahriman, Natu and Abra got into a triangle formation within the centre of camp and started to channel their Psychic energy, the wave of energy around the camp kept away any hostile Pokemon and any curious Pokemon that approached soon found themselves thrown about within the maelstrom of energy produced by the 3 figures. Trainers in the area with any psychically inclined Pokemon noticed their pokemon acting strange and wanted to stay away from the energy they felt deeper in the forest.

The three of them kept this up until Ahriman felt a strange presence appear right next to them. This interrupted his concentration and opened his eyes to view this presence, what he saw was his two pokemon frozen along with the tress and grass in the area. Pull his focus on the figure next to him, he saw a figure he had not seen for long time.

Ahriman: "It seems we meet again, how has the passage of time treated you?"

???: "Its good to see you again and time has been kind. I've been checking up on you throughout your 10 years here and glad that you didn't reveal anything and kept up the act of a small child. It makes my job a lot simpler if everyone was as mindful as you. Enough about me, i'm here to give you gift. It seems you are reaching the limits of what humans of this world are able to achieve regards to their psychic ability, there are the odd mutation within people that allow them to do wondrous things, but its not that common and sometimes go undiscovered through out their life. With this in mind, I'm going to gift you a boon and make it so those limits are lifted and you can progress to new heights, maybe even greater than some Pokemon. I'll also give you a 1 time use of a talisman that allows you to bond with a pokemon and make it so that both you and the desired pokemon can communicate and share abilities. This is not limited to just be able to use pokemon moves, this also means that pokemon can breakthrough their limit and continue growing with you." Ahriman stunned by all this information just nodded along taking it all in. After a few seconds to organise his thought replied.

Ahriman: "This is much more than i thought i would get. I thank you to the bottom of my heart. Can i ask you for your name?"

???: "Well since we have met each other again and i hope to meet again in the future i see why not. My name is Ouroboros. Contrary to what your old world believe, i don't eternally consuming my own tail. Reincarnate millions of people and pictures one drunken night nibble on my own table and now eternally depicted." Ouroboros looked annoyed whilst straightening his clothes. "Any, i just came here to give you those gift for your 10th birthday, apologies for it being late, i had make arrangements with Arceus in order to meet you. I best be leaving before he starting talking my ear off. I hope to see you in the future if fate permits it.

With that Ouroborus left and time restarted, the following feeling that Ahriman had was like every inch of the skin was being stabbed by a needle whilst also having parts burnt and frozen at the same time. With the pain being unbearable, he let out a primal scream of pain before fainting. His pokemon upon hearing the scream rose to their feet and saw their trainer rolling around screaming in pain. Taking action, Abra used his psychic to hold Ahriman still whilst Natu softly sung next to him trying to calm him down. It was noon when this occurred and took the rest of the day. A few pokemon approached only to have both Abra and Natu stare in their direction and quickly fling them into the distance with their powers. Any trainer in the forest during this time, heard the screaming and ran off into the distance fearing whatever was causing this might come looking for them. As night started to fall the pain eased off and Ahriman started to settle down and fell asleep. Seeing this both Abra and Natu took him to his tent and took turns resting and keeping watch.
