All Might hasn't appeared yet.
As far as Izuku and Inko knows, the last time they saw him or head about him was about the incident with Toxic Chainsaw. They are still on edge about where he might be and if he was okay. Inko was worried about him even more than Izuku was.
And so were all of their Pokémon. He could tell in their hopeful looks towards the door sometimes when they heard footsteps approaching only to realize it was the mailman or another Pokémon trainer passing by the house. Anubis was also one of the most worried since All Might's Lucario became an influence to him.
All Might even missed his eighth birthday party. That's when he knew that something must be wrong because he hasn't missed a holiday since they had met him even if he comes in later than anyone that comes.
The party was still nice. His father overseas sent him money as well as an instant camera for him to take pictures with all of his Pokémon friends. All of it came inside a Bulbasaur shell themed backpack. And like always now, Kiku and Professor Touma visited to wish him a happy birthday as well as give him a gift.
They were both taken aback by the appearance of Missingno and M. Professor Touma almost fell when they had shuffle into his view. Izuku took the chance to get rid of most of the rare candies that they loved to duplicate by giving them to the Professor and Kiku as take-away gift bags.
Now, Izuku was walking into the downtown market with Anubis walking next to him and Kyu in his shoulder as always. Sakura was with him on this trip because she wanted to get out of the house. He was just coming back from visiting the ghost shrine to check in on his wild Pokémon friends. They were doing fine especially since Izuku dropped off a lot of duplicated berries for them to enjoy.
No sooner had he started to walk down a sidewalk next to the forest area that he heard shouts from many people nearby.
All of the sudden, Midoriya saw an Absol running straight towards him. Izuku stepped to the side to allow the Absol to hide in the tall grass and nearby bushes. Some people peeked their heads over to where Izuku's as to try and find the Absol.
Izuku pointed in the opposite direction which made the small group of civilians breathe a sigh of relief before heading back down the street.
"Why were we looking for the Absol again?"
"They are basically bad luck since they are nearby when a disaster happens," One of the civilians replied. "That's why they were there when the villain attack happened."
Izuku looked behind him to see the Absol nod at him before taking off into the tall grass. "It's nice to know that they got away safely," he commented and Anubis nodded absentmindedly with his statement as he surveyed the area that the Absol disappeared into.
Sakura sniffed at the bush that the Absol was hiding behind. Anubis' ears perked up when he heard something approaching, thinking quickly to stand in front of Sakura just in case. Izuku looked to where the sound was coming from to see a Hydriegon coming through the tall grass slowly. The Hydriegon continued walking until they accidentally bopped their heads against Izuku.
"Hello there," Midoriya greeted with Kyu shouting out a greeting as well from his shoulder. "Sorry for bumping into you."
Hydriegon looked down slowly with their body tensed like they were waiting for a bad reaction. When they didn't receive a single glare, their body loosened up from its tense position.
Raisuto jumps out to give more information, "Hydriegon. Known to grow up in places with limited access of food which leads to tough personalities because of their need to defend their food from others."
"But this area has lots of food," Izuku countered, raising his hand to pet Hydriegon on their heads. Hydriegon leaned their heads down to receive the pets with joy.
"Huh. Maybe that is the reason she is acting very gentle," Raisuto concluded. Anubis hummed back in acknowledgment, taking in the moment of Hydriegon bopping her heads against Izuku gently.
Hydriegon made noises which Anubis went to translate. "It's the truth. She grew up with no need to fight for food so she wasn't that territorial as others."
"I'm guessing that others didn't see that she was gentle," Izuku replied with a frown, pausing in his movements.
Hydriegon whined, bopping her heads against Izuku for more attention like she was starved of affection. Kyu flopped their ears at them while Sakura gladly bounced up to her back to play around with one of her heads.
Anubis shared a look with Kyu while Hydriegon and Sakura began to play with one another.

To no one's surprise, especially not his mother or others friends, Hydriegon was added to the family with the nickname Bop because she loved to bop her heads into Izuku when she wanted attention.
She fit into the family well. Bop was extremely attached to Izuku since he was the only person who either didn't run away or immediately try to capture her into a ball. She didn't want to accept being inside a pokeball at all.
And since she was so attached to Izuku, she ended up following after him to school which made quite a peculiar scene when a five-foot Pokemon followed an eight year old boy into his school.
Bop got some attention from his classmates when she snuggled up her heads into his lap when he sat at his desk since she couldn't fit all the way into his space.
A classmates commented from the other side of the room, "Woah, a Hydriegon,"
"Aren't they supposed to be like really strong and cool?" One of them asked, looking back at Bop who was snuggling her head into Izuku's cheek after he got out his notebook.
"My older sister has one! She raised it from a Deino. But they were never THAT nice to me," One of them pouted.
Safe to say, Bakugo was upset that at the news that not only did Izuku get another pokemon but also that the pokemon was supposed to be one of the aggressive ones.
Hydriegon is supposed to be territorial and aggressive, so why the heck was it cuddling with the nerd in the classroom?!
Nevertheless, he wrote down the new info into the side of his notebook to keep track of Deku's team in order to defeat him. Deku has 29 so far including the new addition.
Right now, he might have to start investing in getting pokemon to defeat water types since all he had was mostly fire types. Feraligatr is a possibility on his list.
He ignored the nerd as he paid attention to class, waiting until he got home to start forming a strategy. He has a Stuful and a Teddiursa which would give him Bewear and Ursaring in the future. So I have to get one that is even more aggressive and tougher than those two. Which means he has to get a Pan-Cham sometime soon in order to have a Pangoro to defend himself from those two.
Bakugo gulped as he wrote down notes on what to do to strengthen and get the most powerful team to defeat All Might and Izuku. He had to get himself the best team to power his quirk even more in order to become the very best like no one has ever seen.

A/N
Hopefully this short chapter can hold you guys for another month. I am going to try and write chapters to zoom Izuku all the way to UA, I don't care how many timeskips it will take because goodness the kid is still fricking 8. I should have planned it out better in beginning. So hopefully by August Izuku has at least made it to the USJ.
