While Turtwig and I went to the poke market to buy the things that we need, I ask him: "tell me pal, do you want me to give you a name or would you prefer me calling you for the race name of your bloodline?"
"Turtwig, Turtwig." He moved his head from left to right as if saying no, then taking a pose as if saying his name is Turtwig. Some Pokémon take pride in the name they race are called by birth.
"Got it. And what type of food do you like? mild, a little spicy or super spicy? What kind of berries do you like?" While going into the poke market, I was asking a few questions to know my new pokemon taste in food.
Alright we are here, be a good boy inside." "Turtwig." He nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"Ding, welcome to the poke market. How can I help you with?" A employee working there asked.
"Hi, I want to buy a tent, pokemon food specifically for Turtwig, few berries for him and others pokemon around this route. I would like to be prepared in case of a emergency. Hygiene products, 5 potions, a journal, etc."
After some time, Levy have everything prepared to depart.
"Man this backpack from Silph co. Is incredible. Many things can get inside, and not only the backpack, the tent has the same function. I can put the tent inside the backpack and the best thing is that is still weighless!" "Turtwig." Turtwig agreed with my statement.
"Let's go Turtwig, I will let you meet a very important person for me and then we can part to roam the world." "Turtwig, Turtwig."
"Hi Ms. Martha, look this is my first companion, Turtwig. Turtwig this is Ms. Martha or granny Martha, even though she doesn't likes it when I call her granny. She took care of me after my parents leave this world. Although she is not family by blood but I consider her my family nonetheless." "Turtwig." Turtwig greeted.
"Oh my, look what we have here, little Levy hasn't gone to his adventure yet. It's nice to meet you Turtwig, take care of this kid, you Levy take care of Turtwig too. And who do you think you are calling granny Levy, heh? With an smile that was not a smile she focused her gazed on me.
For your information I'm just going to be 18 years old for the third time in my life. Remember it well for the next time, you little brat."
"Yes yes. Sorry, Ms. Martha." Remembering that age is taboo for some women, I decided to not open my mouth. As sweat was running down my forehead.
"Turtwig." Turtwig Salute to her greeting, but for some reason ended up behind his new trainer cowering after hearing the last words she said.
After few minutes chatting, Ms. Martha ask: "what do you plan on doing now?"
"I will start by going to Jubilife city, meanwhile training Turtwig along route 202." I responded, while caressing Turtwig. I continue saying: "After that I would like to catch a Pokémon from each type for now. But for my main 6, I already have Turtwig, I will get an Starly, Shinx, Bagon. I haven't decided which water type I want, a Buizel that evolve into Floatzel, a Feebas into Milotic, a Magikarp into Gyarados or even a Psyduck into Golduck. As for the last one, I think Houndour will be a good choice. There are not many fire type Pokémons from Sinnoh." I concluded.
"Ehh, I see you really want to catch every Pokémon, huh?"
"Yeah, although I will only catch those that wants to live with me. I will respect the decision of those that wants to remain free to roam the world."
'Free huh? Aren't they still going to be on this island, on this planet, on this galaxy, on this universe? Freedom heh, well, this should be a happy occasion. Let's not get philosophical just yet.' Was what Ms. Martha was thinking.
"Go ahead then, as long as you don't do bad things to others, humans and Pokémons alike, I will be happy and your parents would also be proud if they were alive. And what about the competition for the Pokémon league, are you going to participate this year?" Ms. Martha asked.
"Gulp. Ms. Martha, as much as I wanted to do it, you know how strong are the elite 4, not even counting the champion for the region of Sinnoh. I believe in myself, but I am not a God. We can try for a place in the champion aspirants league this year. But for the champions league? Maybe we can do it in 2 or 3 years, right Turtwig?" "Turtwig." I asked Turtwig, while he nodded his head doubting my decision.
"Well, maybe you haven't watch a battle from them yet, that's why you don't know how strong their pokemons are. Each gym can be challenged in three different modes, easy, normal and difficult mode." I said, while looking at Turtwig in the eyes to see if he is following me.
When he nodded I continue: "The easy mode, let you challenge one Pokémon from 1 to 8 Pokémon gym students each. Depending on the number of badges you have. Although different tiers in badges. The more badges you have the more students you are going to fight against. The Pokémon can have the same level as yours and up to 5 levels above you in the same level tier. And finally, a fight against the leader of the gymnasium, which will use 3 pokemons at the least and 6 at the most, in the same level tier each trainer pokemons are in. If you win you will receive a Bronce medal for defeating the easy mode."
