Worthless Necessity: Project Pokemon [HitoZuku]

Chapter 1 - Setting out

A/N Okay, I'm not really following the mechanics of the Pokemon games, so several things to note about this story.

1. Pokemon can know moves they don't normally know, and have abilities they don't normally get, due to mutations and experimentation, as well as personality traits acting as an ability. Other basic moves, like Tackle and Scratch, can also be known by Pokemon that don't normally learn them because they're really basic moves. Also, Magikarp can canonically learn Hydro Pump as of Generation 8, so why can't it learn Water Gun? And moves can be combined with other moves to form other moves, so eh.

2. There are no move limits. All Pokemon can eventually use all the moves in their natural level-up moveset, and depending on how they are raising and trained, their ability to use TMs and TRs can differ.

3. Pokemon can be afflicted with multiple status ailments at the same time AKA Burns, Poison, Paralysis and Sleep.

4. Powers, Mega Evolution and move usage follow the Pokemon Adventures manga and the general anime closer than the games, so yes, you might want to read up on characters like Yellow and N.

5. I don't know too much about Dynamaxing since I don't have the Generation 8 games, and the anime is only has 26 episodes so far, so while I would use it, I much prefer Z-moves and Mega Evolution. And Z-moves don't need the stupid dance for it to work. I mean, sure, Yamada would probably do the poses, but can you imagine Aizawa doing those stupid poses?

This fic is more of a fun little break for me to take from Worthless Necessity, and it's kind of an AU of Worthless Necessity as well. So I'm really just doing whatever and it's just going to be full of bullshit XDXD.

Shinsou yawned, and sat up his bed. The brown, fox-like pokemon sitting on his lap stretched, and hopped onto the side, staring up at Shinsou, chirping, "Hitoshi! Morning!"

"Morning, Vee." Shinsou scratched the Eevee behind her ears, and she purred, rubbing herself against his hand, before Shinsou stood up, "Come on, we've got to get going soon. We need to be at Nezu's office before we can start our journey."

Vee nodded, and she pranced over to Shinsou's backpack as the lilac haired boy headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth and change.

It didn't take too long for Shinsou to change into his travel clothes, which consisted of a short-sleeved purple and dark grey jacket, some loose fitting grey tights and some knee length black baggy pants, along with purple sports shoes.

"Not too bad, I guess..." Shinsou stared at his reflection for about half a second, before he grabbed his purple and black bag. Vee hopped onto his shoulder, and Shinsou exited his room, only to realise that his dad was making breakfast, his pops nowhere to be seen, most likely still trying to style his hair.

"Morning, Hitoshi." Aizawa gruffly greeted him, doing a pink apron and a horrific pair of pink sweatpants, as the Umbreon curled up by Aizawa's feet raised his head, purring out a greeting, before he rolled over, flopping over Aizawa's pink slippers.

"Morning Dad, Blacky." Shinsou raised his eyebrow, "You're up early. I thought you only run the gym in the afternoon so you can sleep in."

Aizawa rolled his eyes, "Knowing Hizashi, he's probably getting Pom Pom to help him style his hair. And you're going to be out on your own. It's illogical to let you leave without having a proper meal."

Shinsou chuckled as he settled down by the table, as Aizawa placed a plate of pancakes and a cup of coffee in front of him, "True... I guess..."

Aizawa tried to find the pokemon food specifically made for Eevee and their evolutionary forms, only to find that they has run out, so Blacky pushed his bowl of food over to Vee, to which the younger Eevee chirped her thanks and tucked in. Aizawa sat down on the table with his own breakfast, "Just be careful with Nezu. Don't ask any questions, don't act out of line, don't do anything unless he tells you to do it. He can turn anything into an hour long lecture, and let me tell you, it's horrible once he starts talking about tea."
