Pokemon : Weeb Style

Getting berated from Alys, I could only scratch my head and apologize. Huffing away his anger, we continue walking to Viridian Forest.

"By the way, Alys, what Pokemons did you catch?"

Playing around with the PokeGear, I sent a picture along with a few words to my parents. I bet they'll be excited to see Beatrix and that I'm doing fine. Although they are my biological mum and dad, since I have memories of a different life, it's conflicting. I'll just have to gradually accept them.

Opening the Pokedex and looking at the Pokemons that are listed. Seems that I don't need to do much. The Pokedex already had most Pokemon registered in it. Well, that's a bit disspiriting but also a good thing. That means I can look up any Pokemon and read about their strengths and weaknesses without having to encounter them. Though it brings the excitement down without getting to meet and interact with them.

"Ah? Hahaha, I'm glad you asked! I caught a Pidegy, Weedle, Rattata, and Caterpie. Hehe, my Charmander also learned the move [Ember]! Beat that!"

Striking a pose with his head facing the sky, I felt it was right. I wouldn't say I'm not jealous but, knowing that he would suffer during his match with Brock made me a bit better.

"Wow. Good job, Alys."

Rising my eyebrows at his snarky comment, we continue walking. I've been wondering when we'll reach the damn forest. Looking overhead, the sun's still high, hopefully, we'll reach and pass it before nightfall. I hate, hate sleeping in forests because anything and I mean anything, could go wrong.

"So, where's Beatrix? I thought you let your Pokemons outside their ball? Is it only April that gets this treatment?"

"Hm, well, you know, since Beatrix is a Caterpie and that Caterpies are often preyed by Flying-type Pokemons, by letting Beatrix out it's like saying 'I'm right here, come and get me!'"

"Ah, now that you mention that, I can understand."

Nodding his head, he seems to resemble those people that just got enlightened. If I were to see this as an manga, there would be a light bulb being turned on.

"Say, why don't you let your Pokemon out?"

Asking him, he stops and thinks for a moment.

"I guess, I just don't feel like it? I don't mean to be rude but, Pokemons are pretty dangerous. If we are to look at this logically, a Pokemon that can cause earthquakes, tsunamis, or hurricanes are dangerous. Don't even mention those Legendary Pokemons that are able to bend the laws of the universe. Ugh, talking about this I'm getting shivers."

"I can understand what you're trying to say, but, don't you feel that Pokemons whether they are human or not also have emotions?" picking April up, "Like April right here. She's a Pokemon but she has emotions, thoughts as well."

Looking at each other, "Still, I can understand what you are also saying, Alys. But for me, I have decided to live with my Pokemons whether they are good or bad, to suffer together and to live life together. And if one day they decide to leave me and journey forth, I can't stop them. As much as I want to… I cannot."

After I've been reborn here, I've had many thoughts. Some of them are just like what Alys said: Pokemons are really dangerous. Although the anime doesn't show it explicitly, people can see that it'll have a disastrous effect if looked at a different perspective.

"You've always had that attitude, Tria. If you don't change that, you're going to lose something precious to you."

"Mhm."

Rubbing April's head, she closed one eye and looks at me with the other. Sometimes, I wonder what she's thinking about. About me, about Alys.

"But, if you can't help it, I'm here for you."

"Thanks, Alys."

"Hehe."

Getting out for that predicament, we continued on. During the walk, I happened to catch a Pidegy and Spearow with Alys help. Of course, I named them too. April also learned a new skill, [Vine Wip].

After a few hours, we finally made it to the outskirts of Viridian Forest. On the side is a sign that strengthens that this is Viridian Forest.

"Viridian Forest. Head north to Viridian City."
