Chapter Three: The Results that Show

After all of my Pokémon are summoned, I look around at my team, "Are all of you okay?" They all smile at me, and Bolt hops back on my shoulder, "Okay, then. Let's get out of here, then."

It was already dark by the time we leave the camping site, "How's your Bulbasaur, Nick?"

He looks down to his Pokeball, "It's okay, I guess. I can't wait to get back to your place and battle!"

"Now, now, Nick," I say, retrieving the last of my Pokémon, "Your Pokémon might be a little too new to start battling quite yet. Give it a day at least. It'll give it time to adjust and get used to you."

Nick has a disappointed look on his face, but he doesn't push the topic further, "So, random question, how do I tell if my Bulbasaur is a boy or a girl?"

"With Bulbasaur, it's a little difficult. You can tell better when it's evolved into an Ivysaur." I stretch and look to the forest, "Well, ready to get going, Nick?"

"Yeah, the forest gets a little creepy at night." He looks to the forest, "How are we going to see? Did you pack a flashlight, or something?"

"Pika!" Bolt says, lighting up the area around us.

"Bolt has Flash? I didn't know that. Thanks Bolt." I put Arceus and the rest of my team into their Pokéball, and step over a branch, letting Bolt walk a little ahead of me, "Try to stay close, Okay?"

Nick nods his head briefly, "Okay."

With Bolt looking back to us every now and then, it takes a while to reach the beginning of the trail when Nick stops me, "Y/n, did you hear that?"

I stop and listen, and an eerie cry rings out of the woods, "I... I don't know... What that is..." I get a bad feeling, and move Nick along, "Come on. I don't wanna stick around to find out what it is." Nick gets into the passenger's side when another cry came echoing closer, and two blue piercing eyes came from the shadows, "Y/n..." The creature says with a voice that sent chills down my spine, "I will be watching... Prove yourself to me." And with a flash of red and grey, the presence disappears.

"What... Was that?" I ask.

At first Arceus didn't answer, "That was one of my mythical Pokémon. It seems to have taken an interest to you."

"I hope that's a good thing..." I say opening up the door to the car and plopping myself into the seat.

"What was out there?" Nick asks me.

"To be honest, It was another Pokémon. A mythical Pokémon. I think I know which one it is too."

"What's a mythical Pokémon?" He asks.

"It's a rare subspecies of Legendaries. I created them to keep balance in the ecosystems." Arceus answers.

I hear Nick's stomach growl, "You're hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"Hmmm...." Nick looks to me, and smiled, "Pizza."

Smirking, I nod, "Okay. Where do you want to order from?"

"Cubbies! They have the best pepperoni there." The rest of the drive is silent until we parked into the parking spot in front of the Pizzaria, "What about Bolt?"

I look to Bolt, now on Nick's lap, "I say, we bring him in." looking down at him, I pet his head, "Do you wanna come in?"

"Pika~!" He says excitingly.

I chuckle, "Well, That answers that. Let's get some pizza!" Nick and I get out of the car as Bolt jumps out and climbs to my shoulder. As we enter the Pizzaria, people started to stare at the Pokémon on my shoulder. I kind of expected that.
