Worthless Necessity: Project Pokemon [HitoZuku]

Chapter 2 - Steeling Weather

"Alright! Here we are!" Shinsou grinned, as he walked into Tokyo City, admiring the view, before he headed straight to the pokemon center. They had several battles with trainers and wild Pokemon before they reached their destination, so Shinsou wanted to make sure that Vee was fully healed up, then they could have dinner, do some training, before challenging the gym in the morning.

Much to his surprise, there wasn't anyone by the counters, except for a Blissey and an Audino, and Shinsou walked up to the counter.

"Excuse me, is there a nurse around here?" Shinsou asked.

Blissey shook her head, "Nope! Most of the Pokecenters are run by Chansey, Blissey, Audino and Rotom! The Rotom are more than capable of operating the healing machines, and we can takr care of anything else with Heal Pulse, Aromatherapy, and Heal Bell, among other moves. We only call in humans if the injuries are too serious for us to handle."

"Ah... okay... Can you heal Vee for me?" Shinsou asked, before Vee hopped onto the counter, with Rotom buzzing around, more interested in scanning the two pink pokemon. Blissey nodded, and she brought Vee into another room, before coming back in another minute, "All good!"

Vee squealed as she jumped back onto Shinsou shoulder, nuzzling him, before Shinsou muttered, "Hmm... I figure we should find a place to stay... I know that Tensei and Tenya live in this city, but I don't want to bother them."

One of the computer monitors blared to life, as another pair of Rotom eyes appeared, blinking, "Need a room? We've got a couple of empty rooms at the moment. You should reserve one now; usually, the rooms are all reserved after dinner."

Shinsou turned towards the monitor, nodding, "Ah... actually, yes, please. How much is the rent?"

"Can I scan your Pokedex?" The Rotom asked, and Shinsou's Rotom flew over, resting its Pokedex body on the scanner, and a loading screen appeared on the monitor.

"Scanning... Registered Pokemon Trainer, Shinsou Hitoshi. Welcome!" Rotom appeared back on the monitor, "Don't worry about rent. Rooms in the Pokecenters are free for registered Pokemon trainers."

"Ah, thank you." Shinsou nodded, and the Rotom smiled, "Just doing my job! Have a nice day!"

The monitor flickered to black, and Shinsou and Vee both stared at the now darkened monitor, confused.

"Okay... we've got a room, I guess..." Shinsou sweatdropped, and Vee nodded.

"Well, I guess we should get dinner now, right, Vee?" Shinsou turned to Vee, and the Eevee reached up, patting his chin with her paw as Rotom floated around, displaying a map of the Pokecenter on the Pokedex screen, "The cafeteria's somewhere here!"

"Thanks Rotom." Shinsou grinned, "Come on, let's go."

------------------------

"The room's not too bad, huh?" Shinsou grinned, rubbing a towel through his hair, trying to get all the water out of it.

Vee nodded, curled up on the pillow, as Rotom scanned the wild Pidgey and Fletchlings that were right outside their window. They had practiced Double Kick and Dig before heading to their room, and Vee was pretty excited for the rooms.

"Ah, Rotom, do you have my parent's contacts?" Shinsou asked, as Rotom scanned the contacts, beeping, "Is it Dad or Pops?"

"Uh, both." Shinsou replied, "Can you send them a message?"

"Sure!" Rotom grinned, "What do you want me to type?"

"Uh... just "Hi, I'm in Tokyo City and we're staying in the Pokemon Center for the night"... I think that should do." Shinsou spoke up, and Rotom beeped, "Done! Uh... your "Pops" replied with a lot of thumbs up emojis... and he typed "My baby is all grown up!" and "I'm sorry I didn't see you off this morning!" and your "Dad" replied with "Shut up" and -"
