Hit Points, Physical Attack, Physical Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed: Those exist in every Pokémon. Using them masterfully along with the right item, ability, typing, move set, mechanic, team balance, care and love, and of course brilliant thinking mid battle will lead the trainer into victory!
The
Furukawas reached to Moho's basement along with Uzib. "Miakko!!!!!"
Matoi ran to hug her. "I missed you so much!"
"It is
been a while. How are you?" kept
with the small talk.
"Why
does Matoi and Nog get to hug her and I don't?!" Uzib was irritated.
"It
is because you are in love with her, and they aren't… that's why her father
won't let you." Ananth responded to him.
Miakko
noticed Shirr and Katsuya "Shirr, and Katsuya! What are you doing here? I
didn't know you know each other."
"It
is a long story. I'll tell you later." Shirr answered.
"Enough
with the small talk!" Moho had enough. "Nog, Matoi, why are those two
are here?"
"They
are Miakko's friends, so I've thought they could help." Matoi answered.
"Doesn't
matter! By that logic I should have brought Aaron Blackseth to capture me
because he thinks I'm his friend! Not to mention that green haired guy has a
mask on his face. How can I trust a person like that?! Take off your
mask!"
"I
can't…" Katsuya looked down.
"Why?"
"Katsuya
has his reasons." Shirr tried to help.
"Anyway.
If you want to help us you should know that on today's mission we are going to
kill people. You have the will for that?"
"Moho!
You've said you won't force Miakko to do it. What are you thinking?" Ryu
said.
"Things
have changed! If you want to go back to your world you'll have to do it. You'll
kill dead people anyway, so it shouldn't matter!" "I know, I know,
you don't understand what's going on. In short, in order to bring back Pokémon
that have gone extinct, you are going to back in time to the Sengoku period."
"How
does that have to do with killing?" Waiareas asked.
"Well,
technically you could always do the same job as farmers, but your only way out
will be if you'll see the death of a famous samurai."
"Who
is he?" Miakko asked.
"I
won't tell you Hahahaha!!!! I need you to be there the longest as you can. If
I'll tell you, you'll probably kill him yourself and call it a day!"
"Then
why now out of all time?" Miakko asked.
"Nog
and Matoi told me how you've fought against Giovanni. Miakko, I wouldn't have sent
you there if you didn't have the right skills to survive. Now I see that you
have daggers on your waist. You did learn to how fight, right?"
"I
did but I don't know for sure."
"That's
how it goes to everyone in their first battle." Ryu said.
Miakko took
a minute to think, and then decided; she is going back to the past. "One
thing I don't understand though. The Sengoku period took over 100 years; I
don't have the time for that."
"Oh
you don't have to worry about that." Saica said. "Today's mission is
more like a virtual reality. The things will happen there will be real, but you
won't age. It will be streamed to you very fast. Kind of like a video
game."
'I regret
buying Shamaimrim… this game sucks….' Shirr was thinking.
"One
more thing." Saica said. "Pokeballs didn't exist at the Sengoku
period. You could bring back one Pokémon with you from the past, by taming
them. Choose carefully the Pokémon you'll tame. Bring as many items you can
from the past; some of them can evolve Pokémon that lost the ability to evolve
in the modern day due the items have gone extinct in the modern times."
Miakko,
Waiareas, and Ryu gave their Pokémon and Pokeballs to Nog and Matoi so they'll
keep them for their mission. Uzib was irritated that Miakko doesn't give him
even one Pokémon to keep. "Shirr, aren't you coming?"
"I
don't think I'm strong enough for that…" Shirr said.
"Nobunaga
Sama!" bowed one ugly man to the samurai daimyo. "Please! I'm begging
you my lord, let me serve you!"
"What
are you thinking talking like that to Nobunaga Sama!" The purple long
haired samurai Mitsuhide said "A farmer joins the samurai ranks… to Oda
Nobunaga's. Farmer, you have the nerve to ask that!"
"Father,
I don't think it is a problem." Gracia said; his twin-tail haired
daughter.
"Tama,
please don’t intervene."
"Mitsuhide,
it is fine. Your daughter is right." Nobunaga said. "Farmer… tell me
your name."
"Ha-Hashiba
Hideyoshi!" He said politely.
"Do
you really think that you have the right to serve me, Oda Nobunaga? You are
already started on bad terms with Akechi Mitsuhide; my most loyal retainer."
"I'm
sorry my lord! I'll do anything!" Hideyoshi kept bowing.
"I've
came to like you!" Nobunaga laughed. "Fine. You look like a monkey.
So I'll call you 'Monkey'. Monkey, do you have any Pokémon?"
"I
do! I have a Slakoth who is my partner!"
"A
monkey owns a monkey… You really are Monkey." Nobunaga kept laughing. Nobunaga
didn't know that Slakoth is a sloth, not a monkey… "Monkey, here is your
first mission…" Nobunaga threw his sandal. "Go bring it! With your
mouth!". Hideyoshi was completely humiliated, but did just that. "Good
boy, Monkey, good boy!" Nobunaga stomped the Mon- I mean Hideyoshi's head
with his foot.
Ransei
region! This is where the Sengoku period took place for around 100 years. At
the time, Ransei was during long civil war for who knows why! Killing and
spilling blood everywhere, people losing their home and family, all for nothing.
It officially ended once Ishida Mitsunari was defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu during
the battle of Sekigahara. Ieyasu thought that would have brought peace to
Ransei, but that fool was wrong! Due to the battles of Pokémon that completely
destroyed the region, Ransei was no longer habitable. All those wars have
brought nothing, and Ieyasu had no choice but to give up on the dream he had
for the Tokugawa bakufu. He used all the money he had, and sent all of the
people to other regions to live in. In the modern day, Ransei is still no
longer place to live in. In fact, it is illegal to travel there due to the
insane radiation that this place holds. Most of the Ranseinian people moved to
four regions; Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, with a small percentage moved to
other regions.
"Oh…
they are falling…" Shirr said while looking into the screen that was used
for looking at the Furukawas' mission.
"Now
we don't have Matoi's big ass to save them!" Nog said. "Oh… they were
smashed into the ground…"
Waiareas
decided they have to join into some daimyo's army in order to continue their
mission. They searched a bit and found one of some lord that was unknown to
them.
"What
do you three want?" the guard protecting the mansion asked.
"We
simply want to join your army." Miakko said.
"Well…
that's not the brightest idea…" Shirr said while looking at the screen. "Can't
they find better way?"
"Do
you think that Nobunaga Sama will let farmers like you to join?!" the
guard shouted.
"What's
going on here?!" A man with half shaved hair with a topknot came from the
mansion.
"Shibata
Katsuie Sama! Those assholes want to join to Nobunaga's army."
Katsuie
looked at the three. "Indeed… their clothes are very unfitting for
samurais, even for farmers. However, due to new circumstances, for this moment,
that's up to Nobanaga Sama to decide. You three; Come in."
The
Furukawas went through the expensive hallways, and the samurais looked upon
them while honing their weapons for the next battle. Some of them had Pokémon alongside
them. They went inside the room. In the room was standing Akechi Mitsuhide,
with big majestic blue bird Pokémon. That bird was Articuno. Only strong people
as Mitsuhide had the charisma to tame a creature such as that. Gracia also was
in the room, with her Gothitelle which looked fairly similar to Gracia's dress.
And then, the man himself; Oda Nobunaga. His Hydregion was floating alongside
him. Nobanaga sat on his throne while using Hideyoshi's back as something to
rest his feet on. Waiareas, Ryu, and Miakko bowed in front of him. "State
your name." Nobunaga ordered.
"Furukawa
Waiareas."
"Furukawa
Ryu."
"Furukawa
Miakko. I'm Waiareas' and Ryu's daughter. We wish to serve under you, Oda
Nobunaga Sama."
"Interesting…"
Nobunaga scratched his beard. "I never heard on such first names… 'Miakko'
is very similar to 'Miyako', but it is not exactly that… Those are not
Ransenian first names… where are you from?"
"From
far away region." Waiareas made up some region. "The Paldea
region."
"Yet
your surname is Ransenian… Your clothes are very unfitting for Ransei."
Nobunaga suspected them. With a blink of an eye Nobunaga stood up, drew his
sword and slashed Waiareas toward his nape, but stopped at the last second
before cutting him.
"How
kind Nobunaga Sama is for not killing that spy and stopping at the last
second!" Katsuie praised Nobunaga.
"No,
Katsuie, look again." Mitsuhide said.
"How
is that possible?!" Katsuie realized that Waiareas' sword was also next to
Nobunaga's nape.
"You
are good… I'll give you that." Nobunaga withdrew. "Well… it doesn't
matter if you are a spy. We need someone like you for this night mission. It is
going to be very difficult one." "Mitsuhide, take them and explain to
them personally."
"Nobunaga
Sama! Do you really trust those three?!"
"Trust
them? Obviously not! However, that Waiareas has already proven to be strong
enough."
"Fine.
Miakko, Ryu, Waiareas, come with me!"
"So,
what is the Paldea region is like?" Gracia asked Miakko.
"How
to explain it…" Miakko was never at Paldea to answer.
"Tama!
This is no time for that!" Mitsuhide scolded her.
"Father,
they are quite interesting. Aren't they?"
"Well…
the fact that you are already attached to them is not bad. Don't get too
attached though… they could die this night anyway."
The
Furukawas sat for the explanation of Mitsuhide about the mission. "During
this mission we are going to defeat and kill the daimyo Imagawa Yoshimoto who
is one of the strongest daimyo currently. It is going to be difficult; he has
an army of 40,000 soldiers along with strong Pokémon. Our army however, has
only 3,000. Therefore our only option is a surprise assault at night."
"Surprise
assault at night… sounds like hot sex rape…" Matoi said while looking at
the screen.
"Shut
up Matoi!!!!" shouted Moho, Uzib, Ananth, and Saica.
"Is
he always like that?" Shirr asked.
"Yeah,
always…" Nog confirmed.
"However."
Mitsuhide continued. "It also means we can't use Pokémon of our own. We
can't trust them to make noises before the right moment."
"So
that is why Nobunaga Sama welcomed us?" Miakko asked.
"True.
We need every soldier we can. However, you'll have to be always under my sight
before the battle. I cannot let you leave the mansion. I still suspect that you
three are spies. I saw the look of you; you seemed to be surprised that we use Pokémon
for battle, yet you ask to serve under us. Is Paldea or whatever it is called
is that different? Who knows if you are actually from there, or even if there
is such a region to begin with? Your surnames are Ransenian, yet your first
names aren't, and your clothes aren't Ransenian clothes as well. Who are
you?"
"Father,
don't be too harsh with them. I'm sure they have their reasons." Gracia
said.
"Tama…
why to you defend them? They are untrustworthy, at least for now."
"Em…
em I don't know how to explain this…"
Mitsuhide
giggled. "Don't worry. I actually know. It has been a while that you had a
girl in your age that is going to fight alongside you."
"You
teased me!"
Miakko was
very impressed by the relationship of Mitsuhide and Gracia. While not being not
exactly the same, it was similar to relationship she has with her parents.
The night
came in. Mitsuhide stood up. "Tama, Miakko, Ryu, Waiareas! Take your
weapons! To the battle!". It was the start of the legendary battle! The
Battle of Okehazama!
