Rewards:
• 5 Gacha Tickets
• Pokémon Voice Pack (Rare) — Allows user to understand Pokémon language.
• Poke Blocks (10 pieces) — A highly nutritious food for Pokémon. Helps them recover faster and grow stronger. One block a day is enough; two at most, anything more just goes to waste and won't even be absorbed by Pokémon.
"Pokémon Voice Pack, huh? That'll come in handy," Sho muttered as a weird tingling ran through his head. Maybe that was the upload finishing or something—but honestly, he didn't feel any different.
He popped open Frogadier's Pokéball. The Pokémon appeared, looking completely worn out. Sho grabbed one of the shiny little Poke Blocks and handed it over.
Frogadier stared at it for a second, then took it and bit down.
Instantly, his eyes snapped open, full of new energy. The tired look vanished. The flavor hit him—soothing, refreshing, almost addicting. He could literally feel his strength coming back.
Frogadier: "If you'd given me this earlier, I'd have immediately jumped into the Poké ball right away. Why hide the good stuff? Stupid Trainer"
Sho: "○_○ …wait, I actually understood that?"
Frogadier finished his first Pokéblock and immediately stretched out his hand, asking for another. Sho shook his head with a small grin.
"Later," he said.
Frogadier looked a bit disappointed for a moment, but then a realization hit him—his trainer didn't have any other Pokémon. Which meant… all the tasty stuff was his. A satisfied smirk crept onto his face.
But that peace didn't last long. To his horror, he watched Sho curiously pick up a Pokéblock and pop it into his own mouth.
"Bleghhh!" Sho almost gagged.
"That's disgusting! How can Pokémon even like something like that?" he muttered, spitting it out immediately.
Frogadier's eyes widened, pure heartbreak on his face as he saw the delicious food getting wasted like that.
Frogadier: "If you're gonna waste the good stuff, at least waste it into my mouth!"
Sho laughed awkwardly. "Don't worry, Frogadier. I've got plenty left. I just wanted to see how it tastes, and yeah… it's definitely not for me."
He recalled Frogadier back into the Pokéball.
"Alright then," Sho muttered, glancing around the quiet forest. "Where should I go next?"
After a moment's thought, he decided to explore the forest a bit—maybe find a few strong Pokémon—and then head toward the nearest human village.
....
Sho wandered through the forest for over an hour, but nothing special showed up. Not a single Pokémon worth catching. The only one that caught his eye was a Pumpkaboo — a ghost type — but that little thing slipped away before he could even react. No matter how much he searched, he couldn't find it again. Maybe it vanished… or turned invisible… or whatever the hell ghosts do.
At one point, he spotted a Pancham munching on some leaves, but decided to let it be. He only had one Pokéball left and wanted to save it for something rare — something unique. Who knows, maybe he'd stumble upon Xerneas or something.
Remembering that one episode where Ash and Bonnie ran into a Xerneas in the forest. "If that really happened," he thought, "I'm not letting it get away. No matter what."
But fate clearly had other plans. All he found were the usuals — a few Fletchling, some Helioptile, Scatterbug, and a couple of Flabébé fluttering around. Nothing even close to what he was hoping for.
"Finding a legendary Pokémon is really tough. There's no way I'll find one just by roaming around like this," Sho thought, scratching his head. After thinking for a bit, he decided to head toward the nearby human village. Maybe he could gather some info or find something useful there.
After some walking, he finally reached a small village filled with old wooden houses. Most of the people there seemed older — barely any kids around. Population was maybe around five hundred.
A few Pokémon strolled beside their trainers, and a Machoke was busy helping out by lifting wooden logs and loading them into carts.
Sho kept walking, observing everything curiously, until he found himself in a quieter part of the village, away from the main street.
That's when he heard a faint sound.
"Mhhmm… mhmmmm…"
Sho blinked. "Wait… is someone moaning in broad daylight?" he muttered, half confused, half amused.
As Sho followed the faint sound, he managed to pinpoint where it was coming from — a wooden warehouse tucked between two big trees. The closer he got, the clearer the sound became.
"Mhhmm… mhmmmm…"
The noise grew louder along with Thud sound and thumping sound.
"Holy shit… sounds like someone's getting torn apart in there," Sho whispered, pressing his ear against the door.
He could hear faint voices inside.
"How is it? Do you like being tied now?" a man's voice said.
"mhhmmmmm...mhmmmmm" another muffled voice responded.
Sho blinked in disbelief. "What the hell… in broad daylight?"
He shook his head quickly and stepped back from the door. "Nope, not my business. Not nice to eavesdrop on someone's private time," he muttered.
But just as he was about to walk away, he noticed a small rectangular window near the top of the warehouse wall.
A thought popped into his head. Should I take a peek… or just mind my own business?
"Should I… peek?" he muttered, staring up at it. "Just one little look won't hurt."
He jumped up, grabbed the edge of the window frame, and peeked inside—
When he finally managed to peek inside, his eyes widened.
A small child was tied up, struggling, while a grown man stood in front of him, laughing.
Sho froze, realization hitting him hard and how dirty his mind is.
The sounds he'd heard weren't what he thought — they were the muffled cries of the child, gagged with a piece of cloth and struggling to free himself.
It wasn't some sexy scene at all… it was a fucking kidnapping.
Inside the warehouse, the tied-up boy looked up and spotted Sho peeking through the window. His muffled cries grew desperate, clearly calling for help.
Sho's eyes widened. Without thinking, he slid down from the wall. Should I help? he thought for a moment. For him, taking down a one kidnapper was hardly any effort.
"Well, it'll only take a few seconds anyway," Sho muttered, stepping forward.
With one strong push, the worned out wooden wall shattered like Lego blocks, pieces scattering everywhere. Sho walked in as if there had never been a wall to begin with.
The sudden noise made the kidnapper jump in alarm.
"Shit! Have I been found?" he shouted, quickly pulling out a Pokéball.
A flash of light filled the room, and a butterfly-like Pokémon appeared.
"Vivillon, use Sleep Powder!"
Vivillon's wings fluttered rapidly, scattering a soft, glittery powder that drifted toward Sho. But Sho stood perfectly still.
He didn't even flinch. In truth, he had no idea if Sleep Powder would affect him or not — but he wasn't planning to find out the hard way. Holding his breath, he cut off all air intake, and the powder drifted past harmlessly.
Since the guy's using a Pokémon battle… I might as well play along, Sho thought.
"Frogadier, go!" he called out.
With a flash of light, Frogadier appeared, landing in front of Sho with a ready stance.
"Vivillon, use Gust!" the kidnapper shouted.
"Frogadier, maintain your grip!" Sho ordered.
Frogadier folded his arms, his legs pressing into the floor as powerful gusts of wind roared around him, pushing debris everywhere. But he stood firm.
As soon as the wind stopped, Sho pointed forward.
"Now — Water Pulse!"
"Vivillon, dodge it!" the kidnapper yelled.
Frogadier: "Dodge my attack? Dream on."
The Water Pulse shot forward — but midway, it curved sharply, catching Vivillon completely off guard before smashing into it directly.
"Vivillon!" the kidnapper cried as the Pokémon hit the ground, defeated.
"Don't get too confident! This battle isn't over yet!" the kidnapper shouted, throwing out another Pokéball.
A huge bear-like Pokémon appeared, a twig clenched between its teeth.
Pangoro: "Gorooo…"
"Pangoro, use Dark Pulse!"
"Frogadier, Bubble Beam!"
The two attacks collided midair, bursting into a cloud of dust and smoke that filled the warehouse. The force shook the floor slightly, making the tied-up boy flinch.
As the dust began to settle—
"Pangoro, use Tackle!"
The hulking Pokémon charged forward with heavy steps that cracked the wooden floor beneath him.
"Dodge it, Frogadier!" Sho ordered.
With his sharp reflexes, Frogadier leapt aside in a smooth motion, barely missing Pangoro's strike.
"Pangoro, close in and use Slash!" the kidnapper yelled.
The bear Pokémon lunged forward again, claws glowing.
Sho's eyes narrowed. "Let him come closer…"
Frogadier held his ground, muscles tensing, waiting for the perfect moment.
Just as Pangoro's claw was about to strike, Sho shouted—
"Now! Jump and use Water Pulse!"
In an instant, Frogadier vanished from Pangoro's sight using his agility, jumping high above his reach. A glowing blue sphere of water formed in his palms — swirling with immense pressure.
And then—
BAMMM!
The Water Pulse slammed down directly onto Pangoro's back, the impact crushing him into the ground. The floor cracked, leaving a crater beneath the massive Pokémon. Water burst outward like shockwaves.
The kidnapper's eyes went wide. "I–Impossible!"
Before he could react, Sho gave another command.
"Frogadier — Bubble Beam, aim at him!"
Frogadier fired a quick burst of compressed bubbles, hitting the kidnapper square in the chest.
"Gahhhh!" he screamed, thrown backward, hitting the wall before collapsing onto the floor.
....
After the battle, both of the kidnappers' Pokémon were defeated and recalled to their Poké Balls by Sho. He wasn't really interested in keeping them, so he just tossed the balls onto the tied-up kidnapper's lap like trash.
As for the kidnapped boy, Sho untied him. The boy thanked him and asked Sho to keep an eye on the kidnapper until he returned with the villagers.
Sho had planned to leave right after, but decided to stay a bit longer. Maybe he'd get some useful information from an old villager — you know, the kind of old man who tells stories about mysterious legendary Pokémon that nobody believes in. After all, that's how these things usually go.
