Reincarnated in a Pokémon world

32. Celebi

Lyon lazed on the sofa in such a peaceful day. Yup, a peaceful day. What happened earlier didn't count because he didn't see anything. Then his stomach suddenly grumbled. He remembered that he had forgotten to prepare their dinner. "Oh, I guess I have to stand up and go to the kitchen. I'm kind of lazy right now though." Lyon woke up and saw a pair of eyes staring back at him. It was so close that he thought it was going to touch his face.

- What the f#ck???

Lyon jolted backwards due to the great surprise. He cursed at whatever the thing closing in his face. "Don't casually give others a scare like that!" But when he finally saw what it was, his jaws dropped. "WTH!!?? The way I opened my eyes must be wrong somehow."

Lyon took a deep breath to calm down. He closed his eyes to resee but the scene he saw remained unchanged. That thing was now gleefully flying around the room. It was a green fairy-like creature that had round toeless feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. It had a round head that came to a curved point, large baby-blue eyes with thick black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae with blue tips.

Even now when Lyon continued looking at it, he couldn't believe this scene was real. Celebi!!! It's a d@mn Celebi! Why the h€ll did it appear here? His eyes almost popped out of his head from staring, trying to confirm if it's not an illusion again and again.

Only after a while, his brain could start to work again. Now Celebi became the first Mythical Pokémon Lyon had encountered in real life. He felt super elated and couldn't stop himself from screaming in his mind. "OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!"

Even when Celebi was not his most favorite Mythical and Legendary Pokémon, it's still enough to make Lyon go insane. He didn't think he would have any chance to encounter a Mythical or Legendary Pokémon at all when he's not some main protagonists with crazy luck in those series. They were called so because they were super super rare to be seen by normal Pokémon trainer but somehow that legendary kid and his Pikachu managed to meet all of them.

But when Lyon finally was able to calm down, he's perplexed by the unnatural scene. Right now Celebi was playing with his Pokémons. He could even hear their gleeful voice. Minccino was chasing after Celebi and said something then Celebi flew in a circle and merrily waved its hand.

"Dafuq? Why are you acting like this is your own home? Why are you flying around like it's the most natural thing in the world? Hello, I'm not dead. I still exist." Lyon was flabbergasted by the fact that Celebi ignored him to do whatever it wanted. "Well, I tolerate definitely not because of you being a Mythical Pokémon, okay?"

Then Lyon suddenly froze on the spot. "Oh, wait. We got a stranger in the house and I didn't receive any report from my Pokémons. What if it's an enemy instead of Celebi?" He was a bit angry and called Riolu over.

- What could I do for you, my Lord?

Riolu just acted normally as if nothing happened. "You really don't know what's wrong, huh?"

- Why wasn't I informed about Celebi?

Lyon angrily said so but didn't get an expected reaction from his Pokémon. Riolu opened its eyes wide as if it's trying to say "What's wrong with your head?". Yup, it's definitely so. "Did you think I don't know what you're thinking just because you don't speak, huh?" Lyon was also staring back at Riolu, waiting for an answer.

- Uhm, I am so sorry for causing trouble to my Lord because of my shortcomings. But I assumed you were already aware of Celebi's presence when you sat right next to Celebi after coming back.

Eh? Lyon tried to recall what had happened. After he came back, he immediately flew in the air and landed on the sofa with his eyes closed.

- And even if I informed, it's not like we could do anything. We don't have the ability to fight against or drive Celebi away anyway.

Wha—? That's sarcasm, right? "Did you just mock me? Urgh, okay. There's nothing I could do then." Still, Lyon told them to be more careful next time. He then turned to give Riolu a very important mission: to converse with Celebi. Unfortunately, the answer he got from Riolu was:

- I'm sorry, my Lord. I couldn't comprehend what Celebi was talking about.

"What was that? Both of you are Pokémon, right? It's not like Celebi is an alien or something. Then why the h€ll you couldn't understand each other? You two don't speak the same language?" Lyon asked Riolu to try it again but the result was the same. Celebi kept merrily flying around and not a bit cared about him.

No? Nothing. Why was there no connection? No Wi-Fi? What a horrid nightmare! And please stop chirping!

Lyon gave up. He decided to go to the kitchen and prepared their dinner. All that happened just made him more starving. He could already feel the hunger in his Pokémons' eyes. No one would want a rebellion happened because of a lack of food, right?

As Lyon brought their meals to the dining room, he saw all his Pokémons already sat in their respective spots. This had to be when they were the most obedient. He intended to sit down and eat dinner along with them but a pair of eyes stopped him from doing so. His heart leapt out when Celebi again let its face close to his.

- Stop making those fake jumpscares! My heart can't take it. I'll die from shock someday.

Celebi was blinking with its big moist eyes, rubbing its belly and acting like a pitiful child who was left hungry for days. Lyon decided to be petty because Celebi had totally ignored him and played around with others no matter how hard he tried to befriend. "Just what's with those baby eyes? Did you think I would give you food because you did that? Who do you think you are? You really underestimated me. I won't give in that easily!"

Then..., right now Celebi was merrily eating food Lyon had made after only faking some baby tears with its cuteness. He wanted to stand firm but instantly lost to such a despicable move. There's no way someone could refuse this cute little Pokémon! Well, somehow Lyon felt like he had stopped being a Pokémon trainer, he became more like an exclusive cooker. "Okay, you know what. I don't mind giving food to you. But it's definitely not because you're cute!"

After the meal, Lyon intended to clean up but Celebi interrupted by flying towards his face. "WTH? Again!!??" He wondered what was on his face made Celebi act like that. But then Celebi didn't do anything and flew away, started to play around with Minccino again.

??? What the h€ll was that? Lyon didn't understand its action just now. He was stuck for words and shook his head in silence. Lyon didn't know what to do with Celebi. Again, he heaved a big sigh and gave up. "Well, nothing I could do aside from my own job, I guess?"

He stood up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. That was when he caught a glimpse of his own pendant hanging on his neck or precisely, the green sapphire in the middle of it. Lyon thought something was wrong with his eyesight. He confirmed again by blinking and blinking but the green sapphire was still there.

- Dafuq!!??
