Pokemon: Jordinio Version - Chapter 45.1 (Patreon)

Sorry about the delay guys, meant to have gotten shit updated a few days ago but ended up getting sick cuz there's a flu going around.

Some people said mindless repetition was a good thing, a great thing even. An activity anyone and everyone should become skilled at and learn to deal with.

Some people also died after getting punched in the face really really hard. Usually there wasn't much correlation between the two.

…But I can see it.

"Ugh, that was horrible." I groaned, stretching out my back with a grimace. The process of transferring all my pokemon from regular old pokeballs to luxury balls took over an hour.

And it was mind numbing.

Press a button on a ball. Beep. Press a button on a ball. Beep. Touch those balls together. Beep. Munch. Beep.

Ping!

Over and over again.

"Never again." I decided.

I'm just going to catch all my pokemon in Luxury Balls going forward and skip this process ever happening again.

…Granted it's highly unlikely I'll ever be in the situation where I need to transfer over a hundred different pokemon between different pokeballs again, but you never know with me.

I'm an idiot after all.

Sure, I'm a gigatacular awesomepossom idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

"Blissey bliss!" Blissey chirped as she stepped up behind me and massaged my back while I stretched, the soothing power of Heal Pulse seeping into my muscles and loosening me right up.

Oh yeah, that's the stuff!

I tell you, you haven't lived till you've had a heal pulse massage.

"Thanks girl, you're always such a big help." I turned to her and rubbed her wide fluffy pink head after a minute of enjoying it.

"Bliss bliss blissey!" she just beamed at me happily and nuzzled her head against my palm.

I kept it up for a few moments before pulling away, "Alright lemme just grab these guys." I said, reaching over to grab up the luxury balls containing the party I'd had with me previously.

And of course a few others.

Blissey's went without saying, but alongside ball was Pidgeot, Fearow, Victreebel, Bellossom, Milotic, Charizard, Dragonite, Gyarados, Blastoise, Aerodactyl, Togepi-

And of course Rotom and Altaria my two technically newest additions.

Thirteen balls in total on me. I couldn't help but grin giddily.

No carry limit after all!

Woo yeah!

I clipped them to my belt and looked to Blissey, "I'm gonna introduce myself to the new guys, then head over to visit everyone else," I told her, "You wanna come or would you prefer to rest up in your ball?"

"Blissey bliss!" she beamed and skipped ahead of me, a big smile on her face.

Well, I guess that answers that.

Usually I would have probably headed out back behind the pokemon centre to introduce myself to my new pokemon. After all, it being outside meant there was a whole lot of space, and by proxy of being outside it meant the pokemon were not confined at all.

Not trapped.

It gave them the option to flee if they ever felt the need to. Which was an option all living things generally needed and would go a long way to making them feel more comforted.

There is after all, nothing more choking and anxiety inducing than feeling trapped in a situation you did not want to be.

I couldn't though, because some dumbass reporters were still scrounging around, I'd seen them on my way back with Surge.

They probably hadn't approached because of said mountain of a man, but still.

Which reminded me, he'd given me his number and general contact details before heading off to find Professor Cerise.

…Did me and that guy just become friends?

'So weird.' I snorted and shrugged as I made my way deeper into the pokemon centre, specifically to one of the small inner training rooms.

While I've used them a few times, they're not really my preferred place to train. They're more preferred by guys like Paul, who were all like-

'Hmph, why should I let others see my hard training? Dumb losers. Now get out of my face so I can continue smashing a rock over this Caterpie's head a thousand times, then have my Magmar hit it with five flamethrowers. Honestly, if it can't even take that, it's a useless pokemon, hmph!'

Man if I ever meet that guy I'm gonna give him an atomic wedgie and hang him from a flagpole.

Or a thousand foot cliff, either or.

I paused just outside the training room, "Should I stop by Sinnoh and see if I can find Chimchar?" I wondered, a frown on my face.

I didn't really want to go around yoinking Ash's future pokemon if I could help it. Charmander or well Charizard now was a completely different matter, as was Froakie and the like. But in general I wanted to avoid doing that if I could help it.

Chimchar though, I had a rough idea where Paul found him. I'm pretty sure it was in Sinnoh's Route 208.

It would be a bit scummy to seek Chimchar out for myself and yoink him before Paul and by proxy Ash, but to be frank.

Chimchar had a really sucky time of it before ending up with Ash, and even with Ash had a deep lasting trauma that took even Ash the entirety of his Sinnoh journey to fix.

Paul was a fucking cunt. The guy had Chimchar beaten to quite frankly the verge of death practically every night. The training shown that Paul put him through, was obscene and beyond cruel. And beyond that, was the added fact that Paul even went a step further and gas lit Chimchar into thinking it was what he himself wanted and wasn't just Paul's own selfishness.

Even just remembering the training now makes me cringe. He'd have Chimchar surrounded by his other Pokemon - Torterra, Sneasel, Ursaring, Murkrow, Electabuzz and others, who would fire off their strongest attacks at Chimchar. Frenzy Plant, Hyper Beam, Shadow Ball, Thunder and more, and each time Chimchar was expected to either repel all those attacks at once, or get back up and try again.

'Seriously, fuck that guy.' I growled. An atomic wedgie seriously was not going to be enough.

"Bliss?" A curious pat on my arm made me look to Blissey who was giving me a concerned look.

"Ah, sorry," I forced a laugh, "Just got caught up in my thoughts, come on." I pushed the door open and headed inside the training room.

I'll need to think on it a little bit. I need to stop by Sinnoh anyway so I can capture that wild shiny Metagross. And a certain troll of a Gible.

While it was true I'd had a bit of an epiphany with Surge and decided to slow down on the catching a little bit, that was just in general. There were still the plans I'd already made for quite a few pokemon to catch.

Like paying a visit to Fennel Valley before I leave Kanto. A place actually not that far away and is in between Viridian City and the Indigo Plateau. There is a wild Tyranitar I plan to catch over there after all.

Well, it didn't specifically have to be that Tyranitar. I know where a few are, like a wild one in Alola. But it would save me time to go after the one at Fennel Valley.

"Alright, ready to meet Altaria?" I grinned at Blissey.

"Bliss!" she nodded happily.

I reached for my belt where the gleaming black and gold luxury balls shone dazzlingly and grabbed Altaria's.

A moment later there was a burst of bright light from the expensive pokeball as I released the pokemon within.

I almost whistled when the light solidified into a gorgeous, massive bird of sea blue feathers and soft, fluffy white cloud like wings.

I already knew from the listing of her weight and size under my trainer profile, that Altaria was much bigger than average, which was to be expected she was trained by Lance after all.

It was another thing to see it though.

Altaria cocked her long neck and head to the side and regarded me silently, looking down into my eyes from where she towered over a foot above me.

"Aren't you a beautiful one, huh?" I laughed, making her tilt her head up just a little bit more and preen, "Hey, I'm Jord and I guess I'm your new trainer, it's amazing to meet you."

"Blissey Bliss!" Blissey at my side happily waved up to the large draconic bird pokemon and greeted her.

"Al Altaria." Altaria trilled back, inclining her long neck to me and Blissey in greeting She looked around us, before giving a questioning trill, "Taria?"

"Were you expecting someone else as well?" I blinked. I've only just met her, so I'm not really sure what she's looking for.

"Blissey bliss bliss." Blissey caught my attention and I looked to her curiously. She nodded at me, before reaching out and patting one of the luxury balls on my belt.

Specifically…Aerodactyl's.

I blinked again, "You want to meet Aerodactyl already?" I asked, getting a prompt nod from her, "Well okay. I was gonna give you time to get settled in first, and see if you were fine with it in the first place."

"Taria?" Altaria eyed me oddly.

I shrugged, "I mean I did ask Lance for you specifically for this purpose yeah, but well you're my pokemon now…assuming you want to stick around," I replied, "I'm not gonna force you to do anything you don't want, especially something like this."

In return, Altaria rolled her eyes and a harumphing snort left her beak, "Taria, al altaria." she shrugged her wings, before swiping her wing almost dismissively at the pokeballs on my waist.

I just stared for a moment. I mean, she seems completely uncaring about the fact she was picked to breed with Aerodactyl.

I mean Lance did say he'd already bred her before with a Sceptile that belonged to one of his clansmen. So I suppose this isn't her first rodeo?

"Alright, fair enough I'll bring him out." I shrugged lamely, grabbing Aerodactyl's ball from my belt and with a press of a button, the shiny black and gold capture sphere clicked open and released a burst of shiny bright light that formed into Aerodactyl.

"AEERRRRRROOOOO!" he roared as he appeared, as he always did. A leer on his face and maw open wide in a macabre saw like grin that was supposed to be intimidating.

But just made him look like an idiot.

I snorted.

Blissey smiled pleasantly.

Altaria yawned.

With his grand entrance taken care of, Aerodactyl finally actually began paying attention to us.

Only to blink as he caught sight of Altaria and his eyes flew wide open as he goggled at her, massive mouth dropping wide open.

"Aero!?" he spluttered for just a moment, before he recovered.

I watched in utter bemusement as he practically bounced over towards her, spreading his wings wide-

And thrust his wings out to the side over his head….looking like he was dabbing. And then he did it to the other side.

And then the hands atop his wings curled into fists as he curled them up above his head-

As if he was a bodybuilder trying to flex his muscles and show off.

'Well, he's confident if nothing else.' I thought and it took great willpower not to burst out laughing.

There was an awkward silence as he waited for Altaria to respond.

She didn't.

She just stared at him for what felt like an eternity. Completely silent.

And completely unimpressed.

Finally, she turned her beak up at him and looked away, "Taria." she snorted simply.

"Aero!?" Aerodactyl staggered back as if physically struck by her, eyes wide in horror.

Before falling to his knees as she turned her attention to me and Blissey and completely ignored him.

"Taria altaria, al al altaria." she sighed.

And I got the feeling she was saying something along the lines of, 'Just my luck to have to be around an ugly fool like this.'

"That's rough buddy." I said comfortingly to Aerodactyl.

That was not at all conveyed with the smirk on my face. He turned to look at me pitifully, the wind completely taken from his sails and all the confident bravado he'd been displaying since I first ran into him, completely gone.

…Funny to think that was just earlier today.

"Virgin." I snorted at him.

And Aerodactyl died.

Or so one would have thought with how he dramatically collapsed on his back as if shot, at my simple statement.

Well, not that he'd ever even probably interacted with a female he was capable of mating with before. So his ineptitude is somewhat understandable.

It didn't stop me from bullying him though.
