Reincarnated in a Pokémon world

2. Linoone and Zigzagoons

Lyon looked around, tried to get some foods, probably some berries like the ones in anime and such... but he only saw how green all these leaves were. He probably had been left starving for a long time, now it took a toll on his body. His feet became heavier and he felt thirstier with every step he took. On the way, Lyon saw lots of different kinds of pokémon, mostly the bug or grass type. Weedle, Budew, Oddish, Aipom, Scatterbug, Caterpie, Gulpin, Cherubi, Marill, Wurmple, Pidgey, Deerling, Hoppip, Nidoran, Skiddo, Burmy, Flabébé, Sewaddle, Shroomish, Cutiefly, Mankey, Cottonee,... But he was surprised that there were Pokémons from all the regions. It made him wonder if this world had a different Pokémon distribution.

That was then something caught his eyes. It was a blue round fruit hanging on the trees. He startled a bit because he recognized this fruit.

- Oran Berry!!!

Seeing something so familiar made him feel ecstatic. It's edible, right? Pokémon can eat it that also means a human can eat it too, right? He was so hungry that he didn't really care whether it's edible or not. He only needed something to fill his stomach. And here there were a lot of Oran Berries on a lot of trees!!!

He immediately ran towards the trees but then something jumped out and obstructed his way. It was a raccoon-like, quadruped Pokémon with bristly, zigzag-patterned fur. It had stripes formed by alternating layers of cream and brown fur. It had a brown head with spiky ears and a black nose. A black, mask pattern surrounded its brown eyes. The upper half of its mouth was jagged, and when it was open, there were two pointed teeth in its lower jaw. Its feet had three claws and pink paw pads. Its forefeet were cream-colored, but the hind feet were brown. Its brush tail was spiky and bristly.

- Zigzagoon!

But Lyon was not happy to see Zigzagoon because he looked like he was intimidated. As Lyon didn't know what to do, other Zigzagoons also came out. Lyon realized that these Oran Berries were their property, and he, an outsider, just stepped into their territory.

But he was so starving that he probably died of hunger any seconds now. He thought of snatching these Oran Berries. Yup, such a suicidal act! He didn't even know how that kind of thought popped into his mind. One Zigzagoon was enough to f#ck him many times over, not to say there was a whole pack of Zigzagoons.

As Lyon was desperate, he did something that even he didn't expect to. Lyon bowed to them and asked:

- Can you give me some food? Pretty please!

After doing that, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red like a tomato. "Just what the hell are you doing? It's not like they can understand what you said. And here you are, acting so damn serious." It seemed like they were taken aback by such an absurd action because they stayed still for a while now. As Lyon wondered what to do next, the pack stepped aside to make an empty space in the middle.

A Pokémon appeared from the back and took steps towards him. It was a slender-bodied, quadruped Pokémon. Most of its fur was white, but it had several brown stripes. One long stripe stretched the length of its body before ending in an arrowhead shape on its forehead. There were additional stripes on each side of its bushy tail and on its cheeks. It had sharp, elongated claws and small pointed teeth. It had small, tuft-like ears, long cheek fur, and blue eyes.

- Linoone!

So he was the leader of this pack. Linoone stood in front of him and observed. Lyon then repeated what he had just said.

- Please give me some food! I'm so hungry. Just one is enough.

Then he tried to plead using some kind of cute gesture. Urgh! Even he was disgusted at himself for being so shameless. Well, anything goes if you can fill your stomach. Being thick-skinned means being invincible in the world.

But Linoone just stood there and looked at him with a bewildered expression. Lyon felt really embarrassed for doing such a stupid thing. He decided to stop all these crazy actions and asked seriously:

- I'm really hungry. Please help me! I'll find a way to repay your kindness somehow.

Then Linoone turned around and went to the back. The pack also returned to the bushes. "Motherf#cker!!! Be$o0d&*re2@!sY%#£6uj I did all those embarrassing things for nothing!!! Ksi÷?@26iO9lmt%€sRo4$&xjfe"

Hah, he sighed. There was nothing he could do. He should start looking again. As he decided to leave, three Zigzagoons came out again and left a bunch of Oran Berries before going back to the bushes.

Lyon was dumbfounded at how things turned out. He realized those Zigzagoons and Linoone understood his words and decided to help him. Lyon raised his voice towards the bushes and expressed his gratitude.

- Thank you! I'll repay you someday.

He held all those berries by two hands and left the place for a safe place to eat. If he knew at that time what he could run to, he would stop himself from doing such a girly act like searching a place with a good view and eat them all on the spot. But he knew nothing and still immersed himself in savoring the food.

"Uhm, this is really good. A bit sour and sweet at the same time. Also has a good fragrance." He thought of what he had been through and concluded all the information he had gathered.

Firstly, this place was probably different from the Pokémon world he knew. The evidence was that he saw all kind of Pokémon from different regions. The Pokémon world he knew probably didn't have any place like this forest.

Secondly, it confirmed that Pokémon had high intelligence. The evidence was that he had been able to converse with Linoone. So Pokémon in this world was kind of similar to those in anime. Later, when he trains his Pokémon, he can let them have a bigger creative place.

Lastly, it was proved that the Oran Berries which are used to heal Pokémon and also treated as Pokémon food is edible to human. He even used himself for the experiment. But he wouldn't let himself in that kind of situation again. Lesson learned!

Well, after eating he should secure a place to rest. And he had to search for another source of food. It's not like he could ask for food every time. On his way of searching, he had seen a beehive. There was probably honey in it. But he dropped his intention to steal honey the next second when he saw a swarm of Beedrills. He wanted to eat, he didn't want to suicide. If he tried to provoke them, he would probably become their new beehive.

As he was deep in his thought, there was light rustle behind him. Lyon was a bit unconcerned. It was probably some bug type Pokémon like Caterpie or something. But he still turned his head to check what it was. And he was petrified by the sight of the appeared Pokémon. F#ck!!! Ajt@=*5qoR8&%hia#$83sFlmj
