Annouhis chapter is ued. I will edit this tomorrow.“So,” I start while looking at my two friends as we are currently standing in the meadow just south of City. “Which path should we take? We take the short path and gh Saffron City and make it to Vermillion by tomorrow. Or we take the path towards Laveown and trek through the wilds.”
“Since we want to trai’s head towards Laverekking through the woods is always good training as there are a number of wild pokemon around.” Bea says after thinking for a moment.
“I say we get to Vermillion first. That would give us access to a Poketer so we could rest fortably at night and traira hard during the day.” Fnnery offers.
“Hmm.. Both options are good… I don’t mind sleeping in the woods but having the Poketer nearby would be a good idea. I want to try teag some new moves to my pokemon which be a little dangerous.”
I gently chew on my bottom lip as I think. I feel a hot gaze oer a few moments and my eyes flick towards the source. Fnnery is giving me a sm gaze for some reason, I raise an eyebrow at her slightly which she just smiles back at. The three of us are silent for a bit before Bea speaks up again.
“Let’s get there quickly. I like the idea of being able to train harder. When out in the woods for a long time, something could happen and we would o rush to a Poketer anyways.”
“Sounds like we have a pn!” I give them a smile and start walking towards Saffron City. We have the option to hit the gym in Saffron first but traditionally everyone goes te for the third badge. This is mainly due to their roster at this point. Very few trainers have a ter to Sabrina’s psychic type pokemon.
As the day wears on, the three of us just casually chat as we enjoy the nice summer weather. Sihe battle at Bill’s house, I have noticed that the heat doesn’t have as much of a hold on me as it did. The su feel as hot so maybe I try wearing some better clothes. Fnnery was lucky, she just o ge her pants to a pair of sexy shorts that show off her legs.
“So Frost, what is going on with you? First you dive right into a battle between pokemo you get heavily wounded and then brush it off like it’s nothing. Finally you proceed to kick ass,” Bea asks.
“Not to mention you had wings of fme, a geous dress and a to top it off. Now you have this glowing tattoo on your back.” Fnnery adds as she traces her finger along my exposed back making me giggle slightly.
“You know Bea, that is a great question,” I sigh. “A little more than two years ago, I woke up one day suddenly feeling that the world was too hot. I used to wear all sorts of cute clothes that covered a lot of skin, but suddenly I couldn’t stand having anything on. After some testing, Grandpa informed me that I was experieng the awakening of a bloodline.”
“You talked about your bloodline in the past, but what is that about exactly?” Bea asks while tilting her head.
“Acc to researchers and historians, nearly every human has the blood of a pokemon in them. I guess our aors were a little bit on the kinky side,” Fnnery answers.
“You mean that humans and pokemon did… that and actually gave birth?” Bea asks with a shocked expression.
“They did, from what we find from history it was rather on. A humans were much weaker than us modern humans so they did everything they could to get stronger.” I tinue off from where Fnnery cut in.
“In turn, everyone has a mix of pokemon blood in their veins. Some s have tried to keep their pokemon blood as pure as possible, which we see with the families with psychic powers, while most people didn’t bother. Every now and then, a trainer will be strongly attracted to a pokemon type which is their pokemon blood reag. These are the specialist type trainers.
“Finally, we have the traihat suddenly exhibit powers without warning. Through a bination of different factors, a bloodline suddenly revert to its a roots and grant a trainer powers. This st part is what happeo me.
“No one in my family has shown anything more than an increased affinity with pokemher than normal aura. For me, oher hand, I experienced an avantism of a bloodline from aype pokemon. On top of this, I also unlocked my aura which seems to cause a resoh my bloodline making it even more powerful.”
As I finish my story, the two of them look at me with a dumbfounded look that would put a Slowpoke to shame. Their faces make me break down into a fit of giggles. A few seds ter Bea snaps out of it and gives me an incredulous look.
“I wasn’t expeg a history lesson like that… does that mean that every specialist type trainer is influenced by their blood?” Bea asks with a hint of worry in her voice.
“Not at all. Some people just like the type, others just choose to be a certain type trainer because it is ‘cool’ and other reasons.” I see Bea rex after my statement, I guess she does not like the idea of not choosing to be a fighting type trainer.
“What is this Aura you mentioned about?”
“Every living thing has Aura. Most pokemon moves are based on the pokemon’s aura which matches their typing. Whispers among the researunity suggest that it’s not the type that influehe aura of a pokemon but that the aura influehe type. There are other whispers that suggest that Arceus grahe power to humans as well.
“Aura is the lifepower of a living being that grows with time. The older a being is, the greater their lifeforce is and in turn, the greater their power. This only occurs if the creature's aura is unlocked though. Pokemon have theirs unlocked from the moment they hatch, but humao unlock their own aura.”
“How someone unlock their own? How did you do it, Frost?” Bea asked, her eyes bzing with a passion I never saw before.
“I was able to unlock it because of the martial arts I practiced. Part of my training included a meditation teique. Doing the two separately did not unlock my aura, but when I started using the meditation teiques as I went through my stances I suddenly felt like there was ice flowing through my veins and one day it just burst out of me. You saw my tent right? That snow is a by-produy aura unlog.”
“Though I might be able to unlock yours…” I quickly add as I see her brows starting to furrow in frustration. “I was able to unlonery’s just the ht.”
“She did! IT caused quite a rea though… Maybe wheop in Saffron tonight the two of us will help you.” Fnnery adds with a smile that shows she is plotting something.
Bea perks up at that and suddenly grabs our hands. “Well what are we waiting for! Let’s hurry!”
“We are only a few hours away. We will get there with more than enough time!”
“Boo~. I wanhere now~.” Bea whines cutely.
“I would rather get there and not be tired out,” I add.
“Fine~.”
“Anyways, I talked about what bloodlines are and aura, but I didn’t say what was happening to me. Holy, I don’t know.”
“What do you mean you don’t know?”
“Well, I know a few things like my eyesight are due to my bloodline and aura, but what happened after I was injured? Not a clue. I don’t even remember it.”
“I thought you were someone else…” Bea responds with a thoughtful look. “The you at that time looked like you were ready to kill those Rockets until I stopped you. Once I did, you just colpsed.”
“Why did you stop me?” I ask with a perplexed look on my face. “Wouldn’t the world be better off without them?”
Bea and Fnnery look at me like I said that aliens were real. Did I say something wrong? I mean, Team Rocket is known fetting what it wants, in any ossible. Killing one shouldn’t be an issue.
“Frost, if you killed one of them, even if justified, the Jennys would have beled you as a criminal. A criminal ot be a league trainer,” Fells me with a serious expression on her face.
“Why would I be beled as a criminal? I was just defending myself!” I say in protest. There is no way that is right! Granted, it might be excessive self-defe it was self-defense!
“When dealing with a criminal group, you have the right to defend yourself and your pokemon, however you do not have the right to kill a trainer or their pokemon. Knog them out and calling the Jennys is the proper way to ha,” Bea says as she looks at me.
“But…”
“It is just how it is Frost. Didn’t you read the league rules?”
“I did… I don’t remember that se though,” I say while looking down. I still felt a little indignant about how it was handled, but the thought of getting my lise taken away is a wake up call. I just started my journey, I don’t want it to end.
“That’s why I stopped you.” Bea gives me a hug and so does Fnnery, which lifts my mood again.
“Thanks guys, you are the best.”
The three of us tihrough the gentle rolling hills between and Saffron. The journey is a pleasant one and the three of us have most of our pokemon out to py. The only ohat isn’t out is Mags as he is a little slow moving for us. I smile as I watch Skadi, Night and our three Eevees running around us. After the fiasco with Team Rocket back at Bills and the ht in Mount Moon, we his kind of break.
“So what did you decide to name your Eevee?” I ask the two of them. I didn’t know if Bea named any of her pokemon as she never uses a name.
“Tinder, because she will evolve into a Freon for me.”
“For the moment, I don’t have a name for my Eevee. I have a hard time ing up with a fitting name.”
“That is a fitting name babe. Bea, ing up with a name be challenging but if you and your pokemon both like the hey will be happier. At least that is what Grandpa used to tell me. As for me, I am calling her Aurora.”
“You always e with good names,” Bea says with a slight hint of envy. “Maybe we e up with some names for my pokemon as well…”
“I’ll be happy to help!”
“No problem! I’m sure we e up with some names for you and your pokemon to pick out!”
Bea gives us a radiant smile as we crest another hill. In the distance I see the tall Silph Co. tower that shows we are near Saffron City. It should only be another hour or so before we arrive. At the top of my vision I spot some movement and see Zephyr pying in the wind, her beautiful white wings leaving a faint glittering trail behind her in the sinking sunlight.
With a quiy two partners, who both nod at me, we pick up our pace towards Saffron City. Taking a nice shower and some evening window shopping sounds like a good pn to me.
