"Alright you lot, I'm going to do some personal training around town. For now play around the area. Beware mean humans, don't follow any of them, and most importantly: do stick together."
Vartio smiled to his Pokemon. It had been roughly a month since he had arrived in this world, tossed here by unknown forces acting in unknown ways, and two weeks since he had recovered Susan from the lock on her Pokeball (seen in "A Whole New World I'm Thrown Into." ). In that time Vartio worked out and did favors around New Bark Town, helping out where he could. He'd help people out with carrying things around the town, helping the Scientists clean out the lab and organize paperwork, and even participated in an excursion into a mining system around Johto, earning himself a variety of prizes (seen in his time while spelunking ).
With the money, donations, and rewards he had made in that time, his team was a noticeable bit larger than it used to be. Susan of course, was the premier member, although as ever the goofy Rattata was more of a mascot than a legitimate member. The Rattata herself had been weakened considerably compared to their time before Godai, and yet she adapted quicker than her trainer thanks to scurrying everywhere like a Purple bolt of lightning in interest of the new surroundings. Everything was 'familiar' insofar as trees and humans, buildings and pokemon, but like trainer like pokemon, she couldn't help but want to explore all the specific differences.
Cellulose nuzzled her head down at Susan, whom had become fast friends with her.
"[Finally some free time!]" cried out Cellulose in a mixture of Bulbasaur cries and spouts of the syllables making up 'Bulbasaur'
Susan nearly jumped, still a bit skittish, but quickly noticed that it had been Cellulose who had brushed up against her. Even in Godai, she wasn't usually near Vartio's other pokemon to such proximity, if only because of her skittishness in that world. But something had changed since that incident when she reawoke, and she was at least trying to get along. She shifted onto her hind legs and lifted a paw, patting Cellulose on the head as she let out rat-like squeaks.
Susan, was incapable of 'Pokespeak'. Coming from a world where such 'language' didn't exist, all Pokemon instead felt each other's aura wavelengths over there. And through the aura, felt emotions and intents with varying degrees of success. This applied even to the humans, which lead to many bonds of human and trainer. As she lacked it, she had to learn these pokemon could not entirely understand her emotions, and thus learned to react more with reading their aura and reacting the best she could.
Sadly for Susan, that meant using her knowledge as a basis for trying to emote to the Pokemon around her. And Susan's 'knowledge' was not by definition conventional.
Maurwile meanwhile stood nearby, keeping her 'horns' away from Susan, not wanting to spook the little rodent. She was clearly happy to hear they could mess around as they pleased. It had been a short time since she was born, and she was excited to get along with her friends.
["Finally time to go hunt some snacks!"]
Maurwile, a Mawile, meanwhile was something Vartio had luckily ran into on the market. Luckily as in she was purchased in order to experiment with his equipment. When Vartio came over from Godai, he had much of his belongings transfer with him, in fact, all of it had. One object in particular however, was of import to him. A "Mawilite". A crystalized mass of candorous, or rather, aura-enfused material, much like an evolution stone. These items were known for their ability in his world to 'Mega Evolve' pokemon. Having received said stone as a gift, he hoped to someday test if his belongings still had their aura intact, and even if it didn't, perhaps he could use it to collect info on this world.
Aurgunk, meanwhile, was busy 'croaking' in laughter, the orange sacs on its cheeks puffing up and lowering as it did so. The Croagunk was one of those whom Vartio had obtained as part of the digging contest, and kept around mostly because of his fighting type nature. The other pokemon seemed so childish and immature to it, so it wasn't exactly in the most impressed mood. Of course, it was looking for an excuse to cause a little bit of trouble.
Maurwile glanced over at Aurgunk, her eyes half lidded in agitation.
["And what do you find so funny!?"]
["Y'all, what else? Y'lot are a riot!"] Aurgunk replied, croaking in a superior method. It felt itself better than the rest of the group, thinking itself oh so mature in comparison.
["Hey, that ain't nice."] Replied a slower voice.
["Yeah yeah, don't be such a spoilsport, 'Are Gunk'!"] Replied a quicker, more energetic voice.
["Hey come on, let's not make it worse! He's just weird that way!"] Replied a softer, more gentle voice.
The three were a trio of Pokemon that normally were found in the Northeast, in a region known as Sinnoh, and given away as prizes during said spelunking event.
Given the names of Leafurt, Flarekey and Penter respectively, these three Pokemon were obtained alongside Aurgunk and many other pokemon whom were not on hand. Vartio personally was interested in Flarekey most of all, knowing it from Godai, he likewise knew it would evolve into a pokemon known as Infernape - a part Fighting type. Of course, as it had yet to obtain that form, he had yet chosen to call it his signature 'Aur' nickname.
Flarekey was an energetic young monkey, and fittingly was quick, jumping onto Aurgunk's back and peaking over his shoulder.
["Not like he knows how to have fun!"]
["Get off me you simpleton!"] called out Aurgunk as it tried to reach Flarekey, only to fail as it jumped back off, onto Leafurt's back, and away with a chuckle.
["Let's not, or else our trainer w-"]
"I would rather not need to stuff any of you into a Pokebox for a hours, so if I learn a certain pack of my Pokemon were misbehaving, I'll need to punish you. Am. I. Understood?
All of the pokemon snapped to attention as Vartio gave his orders, whom glanced at each and every one of them. Even Aurgunk, the most rebellious of the bunch, seemed to realize he was mad, even if he didn't truly understand Vartio's intents quite yet.
"Susan, you're up as leader, do try to keep them in line, will you?"
Vartio looked at the smallest of the group, smiling towards her as she saluted, standing atop Aurgunk's head on her hind legs. She had the positioning and essence of a military salute down to a T, which made for a rather silly image as she released an emulation of 'Sir Yes Sir' in rodent squeak.
["WHEN DID YOU!?"] Aurgunk didn't even feel the rodent up there until she had saluted and changed the balance of her body in the same breath. Aurgunk knew this Rattata shouldn't be a threat, but he could sense a weird amount of experience and pressure in her movements unlike her level or anything.
Vartio let out a sigh, hoping he wouldn't regret this. He normally kept his pokemon out altogether at a Pokemon Center, but he'd been assured that it should be safe in the vicinity of New Bark Town. Even then, their combined combat ability he figured should be enough to deal with trainers, if things really went south.
"Right, ...last time, behave, you all." he spoke almost like a worried father, turning and heading towards the entrance of town, sprinting off in a jog.
Little could Vartio have imagined that this little jog would lead to a journey of absolute chaos amongst his Pokemon. Not that he'd ever truly find out the depths of the absurdity, anyhow.
