Pokemon: Jordinio Version

"What are you thinking about with that serious look on your face?" Joy pinched my cheek and brought me out of my musings.

"Stop that," I flicked her hand off of my face before looking her in the eye, "I was just thinking on my plans for after here. I'm heading for Pewter as soon as I stock up on supplies tomorrow."

"That doesn't seem to be something that would need such an intense look on your face." Joy raised a finely combed pink eyebrow back at me.

Huh, was I really that deep in thought? Well, doesn't matter, I have plenty of excuses to use at this point either way.

I made a show of shrugging, "A lot has happened today, I got mugged, my starter pokemon and stuff stole by goons from the same organisation as those two I caught earlier," I started, "On top of that, I already have four pokemon, nearing my carry limit as a newbie trainer and I don't really have anywhere for them to go."

One of the things I was very interested to learn about while researching on the computer was that it was possible to carry more than a team of six. But it was something only trainers who had achieved things of note or were highly ranked that managed it, and it could only be increased by a regional professor or high up league official.

"Sounds like it's been a stressful day," Joy replied kindly, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me into a comfortable embrace. And by that I mean, her breasts were resting on my head and my face was pressed into her soft stomach. Man, being a brat again comes with some awesome benefits, "I'm sorry that I can't help much with your Snivy, but I can at least help you with where to send your pokemon. New trainers get their first pokemon here or from Giovanni at the gym, I can register you as an active trainer from here if you'd like?"

Ah, now I feel kinda bad about taking advantage of her comforting me by being a pervy little shit bag.

I pulled out of her embrace and smiled up at her, "That sounds great!" I made sure to beam a bright excited smile at her before turning it into a smirk, "Does that mean you'll give me a starter pokemon then?"

"You already have four and I gave you Rattata didn't I?" she questioned drily, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Doesn't count, Rattata wanted to come with me and you would have just released him anyway now that he's fully healed." I countered, ignoring her point about how many pokemon I actually have. Not that I'm unhappy with Rattata in anyway at all, I know the kind of move pools they have access to, and the little guy I have isn't bad at all to start with. Quick Attack, Hyper Fang, Bite, Focus Energy and Mimic of all things for current known attacks and Guts for his ability.

I was amazed when I saw Mimic. I have real big plans for that move.

"We don't have much starter ready pokemon on hand at the moment to be honest, and even when we do, we won't have anything as rare as Snivy," Joy pointed out, "A sandshrew, a mankey, a geodude, maybe a horsea or shellder. Those are the kind of pokemon available for people starting out here. Not something you'd really need help finding yourself or capturing with the pokemon you have on hand."

There is one pokemon she has quite a few of. And the one I'm most interested in. "What about one of the Chansey?" I asked, blinking my eyes open nice and wide to appear nice and cute, "They learn really good moves and are really strong. I'd love to get my hands on a pokemon that knows Heal Pulse."

The pink haired nurse bit her lip, "..I don't know," she replied, "While it's true there's quite a lot of them here and we have more than enough, I don't think any of them are particularly inclined to battling."

"They don't need to battle," I assure her quickly, "Having a Chansey with me to help keep my pokemon healthy, especially one that knows Heal Pulse is way more important to me than one to use in battles."

She stared into my wide pleading eyes for a few moments before sighing in defeat, "Fine, fine," she relented, "I'll ask if any of them are interested in going with you to help look after you and your pokemon, but no promises."

I mentally fist pumped.

"Thanks Nurse Joy!" I gave her my most angelic looking smile. The pink haired woman just sighed again.

..Guess I need to work on that then.

Well I was pretty sure she would do her best to help me. It was easy to see how quickly she took to me after I saved her and the Pokemon Centre and played the poor orphan card when I introduced and explained myself.

I seriously hope one of the Chansey agrees to become my become. If one with Heal Pulse joins me, and my theory is right, I can get jacked in a fraction of the time it would take normally back home.

It wasn't long after that I was shooed off to bed in a room for the night. Not that I complained, with all the excitement, I crashed pretty hard. And Rattata made for a good hug pillow. Pidgey himself just roosted on the headboard.
