The Peregrination of A Guardian Trainer [Hiatus]

Challenge The Jerk

"Mitsuki, are you seeing what I am seeing? Because...

"Yes, Master. I could see it..."

"But, uh, Mr. Ash..."

"Why is there a rare Pokémon from the Hoean region, sitting on that rock?" Ash asked, flabbergasted. Master and Pokémon were looking up atop of a rock, a Pokémon lies there while ignoring them and looking off a distance.

The Pokémon is a bipedal, blue, reptilian Pokémon vaguely resembling Pachycephalosaurus. It possesses a large, round snout, triangular eyes, yellow, circular ears similar to reptiles, and a yellow lower jaw with two teeth protruding upwards. Three thick, gray ridges cover the top of its head, and continue downwards to cover its neck as well. There is a triangular patch of yellow on its underside. It has stubby, digit-less arms and short legs with two toes on each foot.

A Bagon. A Pseudo-Legendary from the Hoean region, alongside with Metagross, and one of Lance's Pokémon team he is currently using. Their final evolved form is Salamence, a literal powerhouse, if you caught one. Salamence's pre-evolutions are Bagon, and Shelgon after it evolves. Bagon are quite hard to find sometimes, and with proper trainings, they can evolve the mighty Salamence that could give a Dragonite and Charizard their money.

But here he was, a Bagon seemingly relaxing on the top of a rock.

Ash scratches his head and look at his two Embrace Pokémon. "Try asking it if its a wild Pokémon?" Mitsuki thumbs-up, as she slowly approached the Bagon and it finally noticed her, sitting up and look at the beautiful Pokémon approaching it.

Both Mitsuki and the Bagon began talking to each other, with Bagon making a few gestures and Mitsuki understanding what it means. She then asked something that causes Bagon to shook its head and said a few words, as Mitsuki sighed and walls back to her Master.

"Apparently, it, or he, isn't a wild Pokémon. He belongs to a Trainer called Damian. Bagon said he is waiting for Damian to come back after he has been told by Damian he has something to do and tells Bagon to wait for him a few hours. That has been two days now." Mitsuki said with a frown, as they glances at Bagon, who is scratching his chin with his small hand.

"I don't like about this. The story seems off." Reina frowned while looking at the Bagon.

"Me either."

"It's best if we leave him here. Bagon was too stubborn to come with us and remains loyal." Mitsuki said, a bit reluctant to say so.

Ash nodded, but Reina look hesitated. They began walking away towards a place Professor Oak wanted Ash to visit and apparently, Brock had decided to journey by himself and said farewell to them, yesterday. Ash then pauses his walk and glance back at Bagon, a worried frown on his face before shrugging it off and follows his two Pokémon.

How things ended.

After his rest was over, Ash had sent Sceptile and Zweilous back to the Corral to get Archeops and Houndour, with Mitsuki getting embarrassed from being teased over and over by her teammates because of Sceptile and Zweilous saying her as "Meema". While in his absence, Archeops has been training to learn how to fly without problem with the helps of Oak's Pidgeot. For Houndour, he has learned how to perform a perfect Flamethrower, thanks to Oak's three Arcanine, as well as performing his Thunder Fang as Oak's three Arcanine had Thunder Fang in their moveset.

It will only be three days before his temporary eight roster limitation will disappear, as it greatly upset Reina and Mitsuki because they want to spent outside with Ash and travel around the world out of their Pokéballs, which they dubbed as "prison" for them. But Ash knows it has to happened because he cannot always carried Mitsuki and Reina out of their Pokéballs all the times. Magikarp, however, was another case.
