Born That Ugly

'Gallia?' I asked mentally, not really sure how to do it.

[Yes, I am here.]

I was part way down the beach, and it was really nice to just breathe in the fresh air. I had not gotten any shoes with my clothing, but I didn't really need them.

The ground didn't bother me that much, and now the warm sand was nice on my feet. Walking down a beach in the Pokémon world was not as I had expected, and there wasn't a single Pokémon in sight, not even Flying-Types in the air.

'Hey, how are things going back there?' I asked as I continued to the far easten corner of the beach.

[Things are going the same here. Misty is helping me with some of the cleaning, but there is not a lot of room around here. If you are going to rescue or capture Pokémon, you will have to find places for them to stay.]

'Yeah, I will have to think about that, but if you or any of the other's have any suggestions, then I am open to them. Is it just me, or are there no Pokémon anywhere around here?' I asked in my mind.

[Not at the moment, but they will slowly start coming back. You don't want too many to know too much, so it might be better if they stay away from you right now. If you are looking to challenge Ash then you are going to want to get a lot stronger before you have you coming down on you.]

'True, then I guess we will have to leave that as it is. As for Gyarados, do you know what he wants with me? And am I heading in the right direction to meet him?' I asked, but then stopped when I heard someone shout behind me, and Gallia continued to speak in my head as I turned.

[Yes, but you are going to have to deal with Jackie first. He will want to see how you deal with a human, so think of this as a test.]

Oh great, a test to see if I will kill a human? Fine, I can do this but I would be doing it my way.

I turned around to face the woman that was coming down the beach in green pants, an orange vest and rubber boots. She was also hauling a cooler and rod, but my eyes were drawn to the two miniature Poké Balls at her hip.

"Hey! You there… What is wrong with your face? Did you paint it like that, or were you just born that ugly? Wanna fight, punk? Feeling like a game of, I win, you lose?" Fisherwoman Jackie cackled at me in a rude voice, but I had to give it to her on the great burn.

She had brown hair, and eyes, paired with a wild look on her face, and before I could say another word, she threw one of her balls. She clicked it as she threw it, and it expanded to what I assumed was a normal sized, and the ball hit the ground in front of me.

The ball opened, and a Squirtle appeared, and he looked grouchy. I assume that it was a he, but when the Pokémon spoke there was no doubt in my mind.

"What kind of ugly abortion are you? Did you wash up on the shore along with all the other trash?" The manly sounding squirtle asked me, and I scolded him.

"And what are you? A rock with four legs and two dicks?" I asked the Squirtle, and he started to growl at me.

"Where are you Pokémon?" Jackie asked me as I glared at her Pokémon.

"I am the Pokémon, so let's go Dick Head!" I shouted at the Squirtle, and then summoned my first attack.

'Psychic Wave!'

Waves of pink energy pulsed forward, targeting the Squirtle directly and the creature was blasted back. Squirtle hit the ground, and then didn't get back up, but I could feel some of my energy had been depleted.

"What?! What is going on?! Humans can't do that!" Jackie the Fisher cried out and reached to her side.

As the trainer grabbed for her last Poké Ball, I dashed forward, and reached out to the side summoning my Ball Wacker Staff. The moment Jackie tossed the ball, and it left her hand, I smashed it out of the air, and over into the side of the cliff.

"What are you doing?!" Jackie cried out, but before either of us could react or even say anything, the Poké Ball exploded, and both of us were knocked off our feet.

"Oh fuck, Az, you need to get up and run! Whatever is there is way too strong to deal with the energy it's putting out!" Dirty Harry yelled from my pocket as my ears rang from the shockwave.

I forced myself to get off the ground, but I felt like I had just gotten hit by a truck. I whirled around, and spotted Jackie near the beach, but she wasn't moving.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" A thunderous male voice roared as a massive blue Gyarados glared down at me.

This was not what I had expected to be inside of that Poké Ball, and now I was in another Exeggutor situation!

"Azriel… I am a Pokémon, but I am new, and I was brought here by Arceus. I am supposed to be helping you and the rest of our kind by taking the world back from the Humans," I explained as I stood frozen in the gaze of the massive snake dragon that could eat me in a single bite.

"Fine, begone then and I shall let you live!" The Gyarados commanded me and then turned to Jackie.

"Hey, about that, do you think I could take that one with me?" I asked, and the creature whirled back on me looking quite a bit more angry than before.

"You dare challenge me, Julia, the greatest Gyarados ever born?! I should eat you for even making the request!" Julia the now Female Gyarados said.
