Pokemon Untold

"Siiiighhh, what a difficult customer!", Atiqo shook his head a little and smiled wrly. He hadn't thought it would be this troublesome to convince a young child to believe in his made-up story. They believed in a Santa Claus and Easter bunnies, why couldn't he pretend to be an expert then?!

He had lots of experiences talking to clients and customers back from his days at the Otaku Merchandise Company but a red haired little girl could make him come close to tears so easily!

Atiqo was a young a.d.u.l.t and it was a miracle that he could keep up his poker face without rolling his eyes everytime the word 'expert' left Arthur's small mouth. In the end he had to agree to this complicated bet so that he could gain Cecile's recognition and make his escape plan even possible.

The problem was that he had now built up the facade of a Pokemon expert without any experiences as an actual Pokemon Trainer! Neither did he in his World nor Arthur in this world receive any education related to Pokemon Training! Atiqo's gaming knowledge could be full of half-truth or nonsenses, while Arthur had never left the outskirts of Viridian City - except for that one time in the Viridian Forest of course. Sooner or later his lie could get exposed.

Of course that wouldn't matter at all if he couldn't win the bet anyway. His brain had worked overtime to come up with his theories and assumptions regarding Eevette and her move Hidden Power.

He didn't even know if that was true or not though, and if that concept could be applied in this world as well, maybe Hidden Power was completely different to the way it worked in the games!

Blue might put it aside as child's wild imaginations, but Cecile definitely wouldn't believe him anymore no matter what he tried to convince her with.

Atiqo felt a small heart pounding quickly in his c.h.e.s.t, it could have been him or even Arthur who witnessed all these things happening in silence. Both of them felt the anxieties of the other, yet neither could do anything to help alleviate them.

"Swoohhh!", Atiqo s.u.c.k.e.d in a great amount of air through his lungs and slapped his cheecks.

SL.A.P

"Don't worry Arty, I have everything under control, we will get this done in an awesome way!", Atiqo spoke to Arthur inwardly. He might have tried to encourage himself as well a little ...

"Eevette!", Atqio called out the little Pokemon that had seated itself on his bed.

"Eeerrie!", she responded cheerily.

"Come here to your amigo (friend) Atiqo, I will need your assistance in this ...", Atiqo stretched his hand low and beckoned Eevette to come closer.

"Eerrie?", Eevette wondered what was going on. She approached Atiqo with questions marks arising in her head but then got suprised as that human child tried to hold her up!

"Eeriee!", she cried in suprise.

"Don't worry, I just want to play a little, nothing harmful, everything's alright ...", Atiqo tried to sooth her unease with his gentle voice. It worked.

"Interesting ...", this was Atiqo's second time coming this close to a Pokemon in his life. He could even pet it with his own sense of touch, thus getting a better grasp of how a Pokemon felt like.

He automatically compared it to a little dog, the fur power was over 9000 with this little one.

The weight seemed so little compared to how much force it had produced during the fight with Khali's Spinarak, where did all that energy come from? Was this that Infinity Energy that Gary had talked about?

Eevette got used to Atiqo's sudden assault on her and now enjoyed his petting. It was a fresh experience to get attention from another human child other than Cecile.

"It would be cool to have my own Eevee actually ...", thoughts sprang up in his mind suddenly. Eevee was a good starter and really a broad range of possible paths in terms of competitive gameplay- at least in the games. Plus it looked incredibly cute!

But that wasn't important right now.

"Ok, playtime is over, now we have to pray!", Atiqo let Eevette back onto the ground and took a look at his hand. After confirming his harvest, the first part of his plan was accomplished.

"Now the second part depends on luck; great Dios (god) above the multiverse, please help these two innocent souls find the right path!", Atiqo squinted his eyes heavily and prayed very strongly in his heart.

As he relaxed again after finishing his prayer, his attention focused on the cupboard next to his bed. And when he opened it up a small sigh escaped his mouth.

The thing he had been looking for was inside the small wooden cupboard. His hands carefully wr.a.p.ed around the red square object as if it was a precious gem. The PokeDex still looked the same as ever!

His insides were tensed to the max as he opened up the PokeDex and a familiar row of texts welcomed him:

[.Beep. Detecting presence of Host: Atiqo Rodriguez .Beep.

.Beep. Does the Host need assistance? .Beep.

.Beep. Detecting Severe energy pollution on Host's body .Beep.

.Beep Reminding Host of marked Energy Signals located at the Green Garden .Beep.

.Beep The System suggests to recover from the current state and pursue signals as soon as possible .Beep.]

"I get it, dammit. I am trying, but I need your help with something different!", Atiqo responded quite annoyed.

[.Beep. System is obligated to assist Host .Beep. State your request .Beep.], it responded in a row of text, unperturbed by Atiqo's tone.

"Can you analyse a genetic sample for me ... from a Pokemon?", Atiqo tighly pressed his fingers together and hoped his prayers were heard.

CLICK

Instead of an answer, a click noise sounded out from the Dex. It took some seconds for Atiqo to realize that a small compartment had opened up above Pokedex. It was square shaped and only offered little space, but it was enough for what Atiqo had in mind.

He held out his right hand over the small compartment and tiny brown strands of hair fell on the cold red surface.

CLICK

Another click tone came, this time because the compartment closed itself as soon all the strands had gathered inside.

[.Beep. Sample Received .Beep.

.Beep. Depolymerisation beginning .Beep.

.Beep. Cell structure successfully denaturated .Beep.

.Beep. Begin Analysing components .Beep.

.Beep. Comparing with available protein data banks .Beep.]

[....]

Atiqo understood about half of what the text said, he had majored in biology during highschool. But what freaked him out even more was that this little piece of technology was really able to handle all these operations! It felt to him like he was holding a small laboratory in his small hands!

Then his attention got pulled back onto the screen:

[.Beep. Examination completed .Beep.]
