Everyone stood around Barry in awe as he shined brighter, grew bigger, and the bulb on his back began to bloom. Alex smiled and felt a deep sense of pride and joy as Barry continued to evolve. The light finally faded to show Barry in his new form. He looked at himself the best he could and smiled.

Barry has evolved into an Ivysaur!

Alex: How do you feel Barry?

Barry: I feel like I have more control of my vines now, and I’m bigger. This is awesome!

Shauna: Congrats little dude.

Barry jumped a little with joy, and was scooped up by Alex in a hug.

Alex: I’m so proud of you!

Just then, some bushes near by rustled and alerted the group. Alex stood tall, put Barry down, and was ready for whatever was going to pop out of it. He quickly softened in posture when he saw it was only Jojo and Stripes who frantically ran out of the bushes and up to Alex.

Alex: What’s the matter guys?

Jojo tugged on Alex’s jeans while Strips climbed Alex all the way up to his shoulder and pointed in the direction they both came from.

Jojo: Ken and Glenn evolved Dad!

Alex: Well in that case let’s go see them, but where is Kid?

Stripes: He’s with them. Now come on Dad!

Jojo led the group over to where Kid, Glenn, and Ken were, and stumbled onto quite the scene. Glenn was freaked out over his new form, Ken’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked over his arms, while Kid just stood with a shocked expression on his face. When Glenn saw Alex he hopped over to him, jumped up and held onto his shirt.

Glenn has evolved into a Frogadier! Ken has evolved into a Combusken!

Glenn: Papa what happened to me! I feel strange, the ground is further away when I look down, and some of my bubbles around my neck are gone!

Alex only chuckled as he patted Glenn’s back in comfort, meanwhile Ken stood tall and looked down at Kid.

Ken: Look at this! I got arms now, and I’m taller than you. Look at how small you are.

Ken demonstrated how tall he was now through the use of his new arms as Kid just stood still with a shocked look on his face. Jojo stepped forward and waved an arm in front of Kid’s face. An idea came to Alex’s head, but he had to take care of a few things first.

Alex: You evolved son. As for your bubbles they only moved down, see?

Alex lightly pulled on Glenn’s bubbles to which Glenn noticed they increased in length along with their resemblance to a scarf. A sigh of relief escaped Glenn’s mouth as he now knew that his bubbles weren’t completely gone.

Alex: I’m very proud that three of my pokémon evolved today. However, there is something I need to do at the moment. Do you guys know what time it is?

Trevor: It is approximately 10:38 on the 45th second.

Everyone looked at Trevor with a look of confusion as he gave out such a detailed answer.

Trevor: Well it is if you guys would ever look at your Holo-Casts.

Everyone: Oh…

Alex: Good, I’m going to go check out that cave real quick. Kids you stay here.

Ken and Glenn: Okay.

Alex went inside the cave with a nod of his head, it took a few minutes, but he came out with a pokéball in his hand and held a finger to his mouth as he signaled for everyone to be quiet.

Alex: Shhh, caught a pokémon in there, he was a bit accepting of it, but he said that wanted to wait until tomorrow to be shown to everyone because he’s a bit tired right now. I got the perfect name for the little bat though.

GOT Bruce!
Species: Zubat
Gender: Male
Met at Lv. 13 at the Connecting Cave
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Docile
Takes plenty of siestas


After being given a name, the pokéball dissipated into pixels. Alex let out a sigh, and walked back to his pokémon with a smile on his face.

Alex: Now come on guys, let’s go to the Pokémon Center for the night. It’s passed everyone’s bed time.

5 minutes at the Pokémon Center in Camphrier Town

Alex said goodnight to Serena, Trevor, Shauna, and Tierno after a very long and exciting day. He showered, put his pajamas on while his pokémon stayed inside the room they stayed at for the night with the thought of what they were going to do. So they played a few games until Alex finally stepped out of the bathroom at what could have been the most inappropriate time. Alex walked in on Kid who was in a headlock by Ken, Jojo and Glenn were in a very intense game of patty cake at an extremely fast pace while Stripes watched over both of them. Barry was the only one who didn’t do anything as he watched his siblings play their games from a distance with a lazy smile on his face.

Ken: Brotherly pile driver!

Kid: No please don’t!

Before any damage could be done, Alex clapped his hands together which got the attention of all his pokémon in the room. He smiled as he sat down on the bed with a thought on his mind about what was going to be done.

Alex: That’s enough rough housing for one day boys. I want to talk about something. Some of you are overpowered at the moment, it’s time for a switch in the party for the kids in the PC that need more training. The pokémon that are going to the PC are: Glenn, Barry, Ken, and Kid.

Kid: What?!

Alex: Kid, you’re overpowered right now, it’s time to let another pokémon battle and train.

Kid sighed as he got ready for bed. Jojo looked at Stripes he realized that they would stay on the team. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her in a hug. She squeaked with surprised and turned invisible save for her red zig-zag on her stomach and a large blush that floated in the air. Jojo only giggled at his sister’s reaction to a hug.

Alex: Good night everyone.

Party: Good night Dad.

**The Next Day**

Alex woke up with a pep in his step, returned all of his pokémon so he could get through his morning routine faster. He walked in the bathroom and saw himself in the large mirror in it. His brown hair still shaggy and messy and his hazel eyes looked right back at him. He walked out of the bathroom, swooped his hair to the left, and put on his usual attire. A navy blue t-shirt with a red zipper hoodie, and a pair of jeans.  He went to the PC of the center with the knowledge of who he was going to swtich.

Sycamore: Alright, so you want King, Bruce, Mary, and Lucy in exchange for Kid, Glenn, Barry, and Ken?

Alex: That’s right.

Sycamore: Alright, just send them over when you’re ready then transaction will be a go.

Alex put the respective pokéballs onto the machine where they dissipated into pixels. Not even two seconds later, pixels formed the pokéballs that Alex requested. He took them with a smile, and walked back to the cave he was at the night before. He didn’t take the main way as it was blocked, which he learned from the first time he went inside it. Instead, he went through an alternate cave that allowed him to continue on to Route 8. As Alex stepped out of the cave, he was greeted by a gale of sea water that rushed right into his face.

Alex: Ah, the sea. Such a peaceful place to be. I just love to…..huh?

Alex stopped as he heard what sounded like a little girl who tried to be an airplane. He looked around for the source, but soon found the source as the sound got louder.

???: Nnnnnnnneeeeeeeaaoowwwwww!

CONK!

Alex had little time to react as something heavy and solid fell onto his head. He was dazed for a few seconds until he finally regained his senses. Alex rubbed the area of his head where he was conked and looked in front of him to see a small blue figure who ran about with her arms out like a plane. Alex quietly took out his pokédex to see what kind of pokémon this was, and why it acted like a child in a game of airplane.

Pokédex: Bagon, the Rock Head Pokémon. This pokémon wants to fly so badly, that it will literally throw itself off tall objects and places, like cliffs, in hopes of flying. It also has a very hard iron-like head from failing all of these attempts.

Alex: So that’s why it’s acting like an airplane.

Alex put away his pokédex and turned his attention back to the Bagon, he almost screamed when he saw her get ready to run off a nearby cliff.

???: I’m ready for takeoff!

Alex frantically went for one of his pokéballs and threw it towards the Bagon. Admittedly, he did not know who was in there, but he had hoped that it would be someone who could have stopped her.

Alex: Delay that flight!

The Bagon did not notice Alex or the pokéball, and ran forward with all of her speed. She felt the wind blow on her head as she tried to mimic the act of flight, but she came to a stop as she ran into something that was very soft. She backed up and saw King who stood tall and looked down at her with a small smile on his face.

King: What’s the rush little girl?

The Bagon huffed and continued to ram herself into King with hopes of getting him to move. It did not work as King only yawned and awaited for Alex’s call on what to do.

Alex: King, use tackle.

King nodded and slowly fell forward onto the Bagon. She let out a yelp, but it was quickly smothered out. He stayed in that position for a few seconds, and then he got back up. King scratched the back of his head and gave a shaky smile as he saw the Bagon look a little dazed.

King: Guess I overdid it.

Alex: No worries King. Now go pokéball!

Alex lightly tossed the pokéball at the Bagon with intentions of a capture. The ball shook once…twice…the Bagon brook free!

Alex: Well that’s a first, let’s try this again.

**One minute later**

Alex held a pokéball in his hand as he tried to think of a good names for the Bagon.

Alex: I got it! Her name will be Lavida.

GOT Lavida!
Species: Bagon
Gender: Female
Met at Lv. 14 on Route 8
Ability: Rock Head
Nature: Jolly
Mischievous


The ball dissipated into pixels, and Alex threw all of his other pokéballs in the air. Jojo, Stripes, Mary, Lucy, and Bruce all came out within seconds. However, Bruce immediately flew into Alex’s empty hood to cover himself from the light.

Alex: What’s the matter Bruce?

Bruce: I cannot see what it is, but it feels like there is an intense burning sensation everywhere on my flesh.

Alex sighed, walked forward, and scooped up Bruce as he tried to explain to Bruce the reason behind this, Alex’s pokémon all followed suit as they never saw Bruce and this was the first time they saw him. Alex put a hand over Bruce to make some shade for the little bat.

Alex: It will take some time, but you will get used to the light. After all, this is probably the first time you have ever been out of the cave.

Bruce: I guess you’re right, uhh, what do I call you again?

Alex: Dad.

???: See I told you he would do that!

???: Uhh, fine you were right. Here’s the 500 pokedollars.

Alex turned his head towards the bush where the sound came from and walked over. He looked behind it and saw Dexio and Sina in the middle of a bet. Alex picked up both of them by the collar of their shirts with a sinister smile on his face.

Alex: It’s a rude thing to talk about someone behind their back, but it’s another rude thing to bet on it.

Sina: Ahhh! We’re sorry! We were just betting if you would treat any pokémon like your child! And Dexio was right and I was wrong!

Dexio: Please take this upgrade as a token of our apology and let us go!

Alex: I’m offended as a father that you think that I would play favorites. I will let you two off with a warning, but be wary if I catch you two doing something stupid like this again.

Both of them nodded, gave Alex the upgrade and ran away immediately. Alex only sighed, but not before he was tackled and dragged down the rest of Route 8, past a town, and then brought inside a building. Alex’s pokémon did not know how to respond to this, but quickly took action as they followed Alex with a run. It took about five minutes, but they finally found him inside a fossil building in the middle of a lecture with an archeologist, and the person who tackled him, Serena. Alex turned and saw his pokémon and quickly excused himself as he ran out of the building with all his speed and ran up to them.

Alex: Come on guys, we got to go over to some cave to find out about that thing the professor wants us to research, and…..where is Jojo?

Jojo: Here Dad! Some lady taught me a move that is going to be helpful in the cave!

Alex: What move is that?

Jojo: Rock Smash!

Alex: Oh dear lord. Come on let’s go.

Alex led all of his pokémon to the next route and stopped short when he saw the rocky terrain that was the route. He didn’t even want to try and have Mary and Lucy try and fly them over. He sighed and sat down as he tried to think of what to do now. His pokémon all sat down too, Jojo and Stripes jumped on King who was in the middle of a nap, Mary and Lucy perched themselves on Alex’s shoulders, and Bruce curled up inside Alex’s hood. They all stayed in that spot until they heard heavy steps and a deep laughter.

???: Need some help squirt?

Alex looked up and turned to the source of the sound.

Alex: Crush?!

END OF CHAPTER!

….But wait? What about that package that Alex’s Mom had him deliver to Sycamore? Let’s see what was in that package.

Meanwhile at Lumiose City

Sycamore typed furiously away at his keyboard to convey his message to this woman online. She seemed so nice and beautiful, he just had to date her. Hearts appeared in his eyes as he thought about the places they could go. He remembered something important though that was brought to him. Sycamore swiveled in his wheeled chair as he came to face the package that Alex brought.

Sycamore: So what did Grace put in this package for me?

He stood up from his chair with shimmers in his eyes as he pulled the ribbon that held the secret contents of this box.

Phewp....BOING!

Sycamore didn’t even have time to react as a pie was launched into his face. He wiped the pie out of his face and looked inside the box which had a note from Grace on it. It read, “Not on your life buster.” Sycamore only sighed and shrugged his shoulders with a goofy smile on his face.

Sycamore: Ahh, C'est la vie
