Thread: Pokemon: A Trainer's Crutch (LilGunner/BennyQ)

Any flow of electricity was immediately appreciated by Magneton, who silently began to hover closer and closer to the static Pikachu. The magnets around its body began to even crackle lightly, as if the magnet Pokemon was in some state of euphoria from the strong currents. Aydin nodded to Kayas overview of the fact. He was simply too busy and there was simply too much Pokemon that he caught. He couldnt release any, as he loved and appreciated all of them too much. They were his family. However, he was stuck between responsibilities and could use a helping hand in taking care of each. He knew the Pokemon would always stick by them but they deserved the royal treatment they each merited. And so far Kaya seemed like a loving and caring young woman, as evident by her own relations with her Pokemon. They seemed to love her and were strong and healthy. She had the right inherent abilities for the job. It just remained to be seen if she could handle the shock sensation of essentially being in a Pokemon warzone out here in the wilds of Mt. Silver. Maybe it would ruin her. But the sun was still bright and shining outside to think such thoughts of despair. She was willing to take the job and that was more than Aydin could hope for. There would no doubt be a short transitional period as he guided her through the major guidelines of overseeing all his Pokemon but soon enough hed be right back fully immersed in his research. No more distractions. No more having to investigate sounds of fighting and even explosions on the periphery of his little estate. Heck, he might even get a hour or two to relax all to himself, in a hot bath or with a good book or television show. He had to put some faith in Kaya. As long as she didnt ask any questions or start her own investigations as to why he was out here doing what he did. By all means he needed to come off as a retired, successful Pokemon trainer who wished to raise and breed rather than fight and battle anymore. He smiled when she showed him her badges. Seven, all from Kanto, almost equal in number to his thirteen, eight from Johto and five from Kanto. He sipped his tea as he thought of his own brief adventures in Kanto, where he spent two years trudging through the wilds there or visiting its great cities. He hadnt battled the Viridian Gym Leader either. It always seemed to be under new management. The current Gym Leader when he had been about that area had been someone known enigmatically only as Blue. Though his expression was concealed by his raised glass, he did have a curious look when Kaya flashed a momentary look of sadness before continuing her tale. She had lots to speak of certainly, giving Aydin quite a picture of who she was. If Pikachu eating out of his candy bowl had been a problem, he would have stopped it. Instead he said nothing, watching with bemused eyes as she struggled and lectured her electric Pokemon back into line. Its no problem at all! They are for communal use. He simply laughed it off, while she forced the candy out of Pikachus mouth. It obeyed, after a short protest. So she wasnt afraid to have some backbone! That was good. I accept. He said to Pikachu during his apology and chuckled when Kaya apologized again. I too have a weakness forsweet things. He said with a look over her, especially when she removed her sweater. Was she basically declaring this her new home even before he offered her the job? It was only a formality though at this moment. She was definitely getting it. You can wash that tonight as you get settled in. He explained, which all but confirmed her hiring to the position. It was hard not to look at the little space between her leggings and her undershirt. There is a washer, dryer on the main floor, just over there. Youll pass it on the way to your room, last on the left. He pointed, taking her empty cup of tea to wash, rinsing them out. Theres a bed, closet, and an older computer-phone you can use, in case you want to contact your folks. Well unfortunately have to share the only bathroom in the building, which on the second floor. First door though as you go up though, so you cant get lost. Where are you from by the way? Myself, am a Goldenrod City boy. He said with a smile. And a city that once suffered a hostile takeover of its Radio Tower by Team Rocket. So daring and rash. Shall I give you a tour of the premises? Well begin you tomorrow, bright and early, at 730am. Today well just have a meander about. Ill show you the grounds and give you some idea what youll have to do and where youll be working mostly. Aydin offered, gesturing down the main floor hallway to the door at the end, nearest to the bedroom he had assigned her. Leading her down, he showed her the barn first. It was the size of a two-vehicle garage, with two great tables in the midst and surrounded by many shelves stocked with crates and jars. All full of Pokemon food. Some were labeled with the faces of Pokemon, whereas others were All-Sorts , to be given as snacks or lesser meals to any of them. Some of my friends have diets specific to their types, whereas others can eat generally anything. Only nine require personal feeding, the others can be fed in groups. Their schedule is a light snack at daybreak, followed by lunch, then dinner at sunset. My Alakazam for instance only eats pudding. And you need not bring him any spoons. Well, if you can even find him during his mediations. Not all eat three times a day however. This should take up most of your time, as youll have to bring them in singles, or twos and threes, to eat here. Outside, itll just attract the wild Pokemon. He said, flicking a button which opened a large door to the grounds outside, with the forest line not far off. Which brings us to another point. Youll spend the other half of your time policing. He walked outside, hands in his pockets, looking at the grounds. From the front of the house, they looked to the low foothills, all covered with dark pines. There seemed to be some light rumbling and dust clouds. His Rhydon was moving boulders, digging tunnels, doing his own thing. He often conflicted with Gravelers and Onyxs though in his holes. To the northeast however was a blackened pit that just screamed keep away . Most of the time, the wild Pokemon will wander onto the grounds. Its not their fault really but they just cant help but battle sometimes with mine. And not all of mine are strong enough to repel them on their own. But the ones who are strong enoughwell, therell be your main problem. They like to battle. Aydin said with a small smirk. Well, that sort of came from him and his early days. Did you encounter any of the local inhabitants on your way up here?
