I woke up at the crack of dawn, normally I would most definitely not wake up this fucking early but I've got way too much shit to do today. After getting up and showering up real quick and dress back up in my hoodie and cargos. I've gotta go get some more clothes, just enough clothes to not look homeless.
I walk down the stairs and see Nurse Joy already at the reception, the work hours at these Pokecenters have got to be borderline illegal. She notices me and waves at me.
"Good morning beautiful." I said to just mess with her but she didn't get caught like yesterday, this is gonna be fun for sure.
"Good morning Carlos." she said with an amused smile. "You're up pretty early, I guess you've got a lot to do?" asked Nurse Joy curiously.
"As much as I'd love to say I woke up to see you faster, I really do have to get stuff done." I said with a wink, I could see her cheeks blush a little. As fun as this is I've gotta go train Buizel and maybe catch another Pokémon.
"Well I've gotta run, I'll be back around 9 so I'll see you then." I said as I walked out of the Pokecenter.
My first job was to go the thrift store to get 2 more hoodies, one black and the other baby pink. I got them both for 170 ₱, I've only got a total of 750 ₱ so I gotta be frugal with it.
Now my plan is to train Buizel so that we can get his battle style more consistent, I truly believe Buziel could sweep Brock easily. The only problem is Buizel is really stupid and doesn't really have a battle IQ, so I'm gonna have to cover for that.
The best place for this training is back in Viridian forest, especially the lake I found Buizel in. So I went to the Pokemart and bought 1 potion and 1 antidote leaving me with 180 ₱ to survive with.
As I'm leaving the city I spot Flint again.
"Ah kid, I see your settled in properly." said Flint.
"Yup, thanks old man I really owe you one." I said truly grateful, he made this whole thing so much easier.
"Its not a problem brat, just make sure to not be reckless from now on." said Flint. "Anyway where are you going now?" he added.
"I'm going back into Viridian forest to train, I need some training before beating Brock." I said to which Flint's eyes went wide.
"You're gonna be challenging the Pokemon league? " asked Flint.
"Duh, which young trainer isn't trying?" I said amused. "Besides my starter is a water type prodigy, a little training and we are gonna steamroll Brock." I said arrogantly, knowing that's his son.
"Brock is one of the strongest young gym leaders around, you're gonna need a lot more training than that. And even more luck." said Flint. The luck was sure as hell insane when Ash beat Brock but I won't need any of that.
"Buizel may not look it, but it's one of the most naturally gifted pokemon I've ever seen. I guarantee I'll beat Brock within the next week." I said with a shit eating grin.
Flint sighed, probably assuming me to be another one of the overly confident brats that run around talking shit they can't back up. Well I'll show him I mean business during the gym battle.
"Whatever you say showoff, just be careful." said Flint. "The Viridian Pokecenter blew just last night after some criminals attacked it." he said while walking away.
That means Ash has already started his journey and should be at Pewter in about a week, depending on how fast Buizel progresses I may or may not meet the golden boy here. Oh well I'll worry about that later, I've got training to do.
As soon as I enter the forest I send out Buizel and ask him to lead me back to the lake. Given it was his home even a retard like Buizel should know the way back. And thank god I was right, we started walking on a path completely away from the normal path. I guess it really was a hidden lake, makes sense given the rare pokemon that live there.
As we make it to the lake I notice its raining only around the lake, the water types all seem very happy about it. They become even happier when they notice Buizel, they have a big emotional reunion that I couldn't give less of a fuck about if I tried. I'm more interested in finding the source of this rain, which I spot right in the middle of a bunch of Lotads. A Teddiursa.
Well I'll be damned, granted Teddiursa is a weak as fuck pokemon but a Ursaring is an absolute monster. Not to mention Teddiursa's Rain Dance would be insanely helpful combined with Buizel's Swift Swim.
By the time I got out of my thoughts all the Pokemon were in front of me seemingly bowing, while Teddiursa seemed about as confused as me but it ran and bowed as well.
Ah shit I forgot I became a messiah to them last time, well I'll use them to help train Buizel.
"How have y'all been? No more attacks yes?" I asked them to which they replied happily with they flailing about. "Well me and Buizel have a very import battle coming soon and we need your help" I said to which they all started roaring in approval and Buizel who did not know of this important match, became fired up for the training to come.
The number one issue with Buizel is dodging, at this point I've already figured out he ain't gonna dodge away from attack because he considers that cowardly. So we are gonna have to do this the hard way.
"Buizel come watch the video real quick before training, I want you to emulate this." I said as I showed him a video of a Sceptile dodging attacks while moving forward. The Sceptile bats away and redirects attacks while jumping over and under other attacks, the way it moves is reminiscent of a parkour runner. Sceptile never dodges away from an attack, it keeps charging forward while not taking damage.
I look to Buizel to see his eyes shining with admiration, he clenches his paw and looks at me with pure determination as he nods. My Buizel just started its journey towards greatness.
