Worthless Necessity: Project Pokemon [HitoZuku]

Chapter 6 - Cages

Needless to say, Shinsou and Iida didn't have too much trouble defeating Manual. Iida hadn't collected his first badge yet, so with an evolved Aqua and Valkyrie that had pretty high base stats, as well as resisting water-type moves, Iida easily took down the Horsea, Staryu, and Panpour to claim his first badge.

And if Iida had it easy enough, then Shinsou had it even easier. The lavender haired boy had done some training with Teru the night before, and the Shinx had been much stronger than he originally thought. Manual had used the same team of pokemon against him, except they were slightly stronger and had a wider move pool, but Teru managed to take them all out due to resisting the electric type moves and dealing super effective damage with Thunder Fang.

After Manual registered them under his gym badge, as well as giving them the commemorative gym badge, they decided to explore Hosu City for the rest of the day, stock up supplies, before leaving for Shimane City the next day, where the next gym leader, Uwabami, was located.

"Uwabami... what type does she specialize in?" Uraraka asked, strolling along, "She uses an Arbok, a Milotic and a Seviper, doesn't she?"

"She doesn't specialize in a single type... more like, she specializes in snake-like Pokemon." Iida explained, "Uwabami is some sort of celebrity, and I think her brand or logo or... something... is made up of like... a purple, yellow, and green snake, so Arbok, Milotic, and Seviper represents those colors."

"Aren't they all pretty strong? Arbok and Milotic are fully evolved, and Seviper doesn't evolve in the first place." Koda piped up, "That's a pretty huge leap from all the pre-evolved Pokemon the previous two gyms used."

"Well... we'd have to deal with evolved Pokemon sometime." Shinsou shrugged, "Come on, I think there's a department store here... we should use this opportunity to stock up on some TMs and TRs."

Midoriya clung onto the Flygon's neck tightly as the green dragon flew through the air. The Flygon craned her head slightly, checking on her human passenger, before she asked, "You alright, Zuku?"

Midoriya let out a sigh, "I'm fine, Tiamat. I just... wished I could have save more of those Pokemon."

"We barely made it out alive before they set all the Electrodes to Self-Destruct. We didn't really have a choice. We should be happy we managed to make it out with all the babies." Tiamat muttered under her breath, before looking down to check on the cage that she was carrying, filled with several Magby, Elekid, Budew, and even a Toxel, who were all looking down at all the clouds through the bars of the cage in curiosity.

They didn't have time to break the lock before the Electrodes were set off, and even then, it would have been much harder to transport all the baby Pokemon without something to hold them in.

Reiko popped out of Midoriya's hood, nuzzling her human, as the boy just groaned, "I suppose so... but what about all the Magmar, Electabuzz, Togekiss, Roselia and Toxtricity? They were stolen from other trainers... and all those villains probably made it out alive."

"Well... just catch the villains later." Tiamat rolled her eyes, keeping an eye on Ryuto, as the Fletchinder flew ahead of her in the distance, flying in loops and somehow not getting confused after all the circles he'd been flying in.

Ryuto saw the lake in the distance, letting out an excited screech, and he flew downwards, divebombing towards the lake.

"You're not a Fletchling anymore!" Tiamat yelled, "You're a fire-type now! Don't fly into the lake!"

Ryuto extended his wings just before he hit the water, his feet skimming the surface of the lake, and Midoriya and Tiamat both let out a sigh of relief.
