As expected, after the commotion we caused, we couldn't exactly stick around at the...what was the place called again? I'm sure Hilda told me the name of the place.

Honestly, I totally forget. Oh well, not important.

Really the people who saw it all were great and I basked in their adoration. They clearly had good sense to be on my side and I had boastingly informed them to watch out for me at the Indigo League. I got myself my first fans.

But yeah we, mostly me, caused a lot of crap and shit so we really did have to get a move on and not disrupt their time.

So away back to our room at the Pokemon Centre we went, ya' know?

Even so, I could not wipe the huge, shit eating grin off of my face. And how could I? I got myself a beast Krabby, and a Raboot on top of it. And most importantly of all. I got to wipe my ass with that little shit head Goh.

God what I wouldn't do to have encountered him alone without Hilda and no witnesses around. I'd have broken that little shits jaw and took a shit in his backpack.

"You seem happy." Hilda noted as she sat down on her bed opposite mine in the Pokemon Centre.

I shrugged, "What can I say," I replied, "Today has just been a really good day."

"I can see that," The brunette Unovan's eyebrow raised, "And you did make out pretty well today. That beast of a Krabby and even a starter pokemon. A Galarian one at that, I've never even seen one in person."

"Like I said, a good day," I leaned back on the bed and didn't bother commenting on the fact that shitting on Goh was the best part of it. That would open up way too many questions, "I'm surprised though." I raised an eyebrow right back at her.

"At what?" Hilda asked.

"At you," I couldn't help but snort, remembering the way she headbutted that little fucker and laid him out, "I wasn't expecting you to step up like that before I broke that punk ass bitch in half." it was pretty awesome though and funny as fuck.

Hilda shook her head, "I know you think I'm just some hot actress and director wannabe, but I'm not just some useless girl you know," she pointed out, "Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty talented. I've been an actress since a young age, I passed all my school exams easily, I got trained in a bunch of different things over my career to fit parts and even when it comes to pokemon battling I'm pretty amazing, seriously do you know how impressive it is for someone to get as many badges as I did in my first year?"

My head involuntarily tilted to the side, "...It is?" I asked, focusing on that final bit she added on.

But Ash wasn't exactly what I'd call skilled during his first run and he got all his badges. And say what you will, but some of those fuckers were crazy. Battling atop volcanoes, broken psychics and electroshock torture battles.

Hilda shook her head and gave me a deadpan look, "The fact you don't even notice is the craziest part of it," she sighed before pinning me with another deadpan look, "Gym Leaders are the best of the best. For the most part, they're the highest authority in any town or city they reside in even above mayors and they are the main defenders of these places. Getting by all eight of them gives people an in to the Pokemon League and the chance at becoming either an Elite Four member or even a Champion if they're really that good. Pretty much the most powerful positions in the government and rulers of regions bar a few other people like Mr. Goodshow."

...Wait seriously the Champion and Elite Four had that much power? "What does that have to do with you being an amazing trainer?" I asked. Not that I was going to refute it. Hilda had some pretty awesome pokemon. Once the rest of her team evolved, like her Fraxure, she'd have one badass team.

Hilda sighed and shook her head at my apparent obliviousness, "It means that only the best of the best can get by a Gym Leader, they don't exactly give freebie wins and fight people with new pokemon regardless of how long you've been a trainer," she explained, "Remember what I told you? The Champion and Elite Four of any one region are its greatest defenders. The ones tasked with dealing with stuff like rampaging Legendary Pokemon. They cannot go easy on trainers wanting to go that path or baby them because it would more or less weaken trainers in the long run. People aren't supposed to be able to start their journey and beat a gym leader within a month of being a trainer, that's just crazy talk."

Now that I think about it. That does make a lot of sense. And in that context, Hilda getting six badges during her first year did really paint her as a really talented trainer. And now that I think about it, compared to Ash battling Misty in the anime, her sister Lily had a much crazier team of pokemon.

Then again, she was one of the sisters that trained that Gyarados that Misty used as her ace...in every single battle. Heh, funny how she used to get on at Ash about using his older pokemon in Johto like Charizard and mocked him about it, claiming he was unskilled and shit. More or less what I'm sure led to him deciding to 'start over' with new pokemon in each Region. Only for her to do the exact same.

And with a pokemon she hadn't raised herself. At least Ash fucking raised Charizard up.

Well not like it matters. Misty here is way more likeable than she was in the anime. Probably because she's much older. And much hotter.

I should hit her up for another date next time I see her.

"What about me?" I couldn't help but ask Hilda once I thought on her words a bit.

After all, it's only been a month and I already have two gym badges. Give it another week or two and I'll have three. And once Pidgeotto evolves it'll be a synch to fly all over Kanto and mop up all the other gyms.

Sans Sabrina. Fuck that noise. I'll leave her for Ash to deal with.

"You?" Hilda raised another eyebrow and scoffed, "You're a freak of nature."

I couldn't help but grin in pride.

"I am, aren't I?" I nodded in agreement. Things are going great man.

"So shameless," Hilda shook her head in amusement, then slumped into her bed, "So I suppose we should move on tomorrow, there's really nothing else to see around here and that asshole earlier even ruined going to Cyan Lake for me."

"We can stay another few days if you want." I offered. If she wanted to stay and check things out, I didn't mind and it really is the least I can do after she had my back like she did earlier.

Besides, now that Clefable knew Thunderbolt I can really double down on the training I want to do with Pidgeotto and Fearow. I'm totally going to steal Winona's lightning grounding technique that she used against Ash. I bet Surge is going to be really surprised when that stupid ass Raichu of his tries to fire off a 'tundabolt' only for my try hard birds to casually negate it like badasses.

It'll be perfect. Because I know that fucker is going to end up calling me a 'baby' like he did to Ash cuz of my age, dismiss me and probably hit on Hilda.

Because he did that to Misty. Eleven to twelve year old Misty to that. Ironic that even the pokemon anime was showing off how blase shit was when it came to the age of consent.

That lightning American shit won't hold up to the power of the Scottish Master.

"Nah, no point," Hilda shook her head, "Most of the attractions I came here to see have already been done away with, it's understandable why, even if it's really disappointing. So there's no point in sticking around here."

"Fair enough," I shrugged. I honestly wouldn't mind sticking around a few days longer just to double check things in regards to the property prices. Though, that did bring a thought to mind, "Hey, how much money do you have saved?" I asked.

"...Why?" Hilda gave me a searching look.

"I'm not asking for a tap or anything," I laughed, "I'm just bringing it up because you're looking to save enough money to build your own studio and shit right?"

Hilda nodded slowly, "Yes, I am....but where exactly are you going with this?" she asked.

"See this place isn't as useless as I first thought," I replied smugly, because I am who I am, "Have you seen how cheap the property prices are here? Like seriously, with a little investment I made I've got enough cash to by so much land and I'm planning on buying a ton here to build a place of my own later."

"Ah!" Hilda's eyes widened slightly in realisation, before pausing, "Wait, how do you know what property is cheap or not?" she asked, looking at me oddly.

"I don't need to be a business tycoon to know twenty poke dollars per square meter is cheap." I snorted.

Hilda whistled, "That is cheap," she admitted with a nod, "I've got a little over one point five million saved up right now, so I could buy out a pretty decent sized bit of land here huh? With my pokemon clearing out all the old stuff wouldn't be too hard as well..."

I could practically see the gears turning in her head as she considered my words, "Exactly," I grinned, "It's the same reason I'm thinking of. The only parts that will really cost that much will be getting new stuff built here."

Hilda nodded absently at my words before suddenly bouncing up to her feet in one smooth motion, said motion doing delightful things to her chest in that tight tank top of hers, "I need to look into this!" the fluffy brown haired girl pumped her fist excitedly and then surprised me, by leaning down to press a quick kiss on my cheek, "Thanks for letting me know." she thanked me before standing back up and prancing over to the computer and sitting down in front of it.

Huh. I rubbed my cheek. Well, okay then.

That'll do.

For now.

"I may as well get some training in with my pokemon then and check in with Nurse Joy." I mused standing up myself. I did promise to check back in with her more often, especially after capturing pokemon.

I let Hilda know before leaving, but she didn't even look at me as she tossed me a wave and bid me goodbye for now. She was too absorbed now in looking into what I told her.

Now is a good time to get started on having Pidgeotto and Fearow learn how to ground electric attacks shot at them using Steel Wing.

Eat your heart Winona.

And while I'm at it, I should just go ahead and see about having everyone with a steel type attack learn it, like Charmander with Iron Tail and Metal Claw. Oh an Milotic specifically would benefit a great deal from it now that she knew Iron Tail as well, and Zubat too of course.

With a whistle on my lips I left our shared bedroom at the Pokemon Centre behind and made my way out to get some training done.

I need to work a bit on my legs anyway. Can't skip leg day. Don’t want to have little Torchic legs and Machamp arms after all.
