1 Chapter 1: The Scientist

'Wake up.' Out of nowhere, a sentence appeared in sight, in pitch black.

A young man instantly opened his eyes, light flooded into it, causing him to close his eyes slightly.

"Arg..." the man rubbed his head strongly, he then straightened his back, in sight was a desk full of research papers, and a humanoid creature that resembles as a gardevoir standing beside him, holding a cup with unknown liquid in it.

"Gardevoir, good morning..." the man managed to mutter, despite being one step from sleeping again.

'Good morning Will, the time now is 10:30am.'

Words appeared in the air, or at least that's according to Will's perspective. In fact, those words were formed at Will's glasses.

Will's eyes widened immediately, seeing that the time is 10:30am, he then laughed bitterly, "haha... I guess I slept too late last night..." his eyes then turned towards the paper on his desktop, on it wrote, 'Mass Energy Relation'

'Will, you're going to get scolded again, its already year4 and you're still trying to convince the professor that energy and mass can be interchangeable.' Gardevoir instantly realised Will's thoughts through his actions.

"You know that it is a fact, we even did experiments on it." Will replied weakly.

'Yes, I know that it's a fact, but the professor doesn't, and we don't have the appropriate equipments for an officially recognised experiment.'

"I have to at least try it one more time, if I fail, I'll... I'll..." Will suddenly realised that he didn't knew what to do if he failed.

After all, out of Will's 20 years, 14 of those years were spent on studying physics. He had no idea what he could do if he couldn't graduate from university.

Suddenly Will felt something heavy resting on his shoulder, it then wrapped him softly. He looked downwards, two arms that was partially green and blue has wrapped him by his chest, he turned around, to see Gardevoir hugging him, with her left shoulder against his back to avoid the horn by her chest from making Will uncomfortable.

A voice appeared inside his mind, technically speaking, not a voice, just a message or information that was interpreted as a voice speaking, "You can become a pokemon trainer, the path isn't closed yet. My species have a similar life span as yours."

"You'll get hurt within the process, are you sure? We don't exactly fit as battlers."

"From the moment I learnt about the underlying principles of the world, I couldn't help but think." Gardevoir suddenly released her arms from Will, she stepped back then knelt down with one leg. "The world is large, and interesting things happen all the time, I want to see the world, and with you alongside. Your existence is my everything, you brought light to my world, I won't deny my selfishness, I want to be with you for the whole time, and I want to be more of a use to you."

Will looked at Gardevoir who's half knelt and shook his head with an awkward smile on his face as memories flashed by.

Memories of finding a pokeball abandoned next to a garbage bin, and a desperate ralts that came out of it.

Memories of a ralts looking at physics equations with its eyes shining brightly.

"That was awkward... And did you forgot your medicine?" Will referred to Gardevoir's arms, also trying to change the topic.

'Please do not mind such details.' Gardevoir switched back to using letters instead of telepathy.

"Hmph..." Will couldn't help but grin, he then started to pack up his essentials for a journey, and a laptop.

'Don't you need to hand in the paper?' Gardevoir asked, seeing as Will ignored the research paper on his table as he is packing.

"Nah." He turned over to Gardevoir. His eyes staring straight at Gardevoir's eyes.

"It's already a formed pattern, a constant is in work here." He said smiling, then he turned his head over and continued packing.

Gardevoir, stared at Will for a moment before she asked to help, and so, the two worked together to pack the essentials.

When they were done, Will looked back at the apartment, waiting for Gardevoir. When she finally came out, Will shook his head slightly before locking the door and threw the keys into his mailbox.

Will looked at the window, in it was a reflection of himself, a young man with deep blue eyes, short and messy hair, a face that couldn't exactly be classified as a handsome but still decent. Beside him was Gardevoir, who had green hair and arms, and a touch of blue going around her red eyes.

"Lets go, a journey of thrilling adventures and countless fun phenomenons are waiting for us."

'Do you need to inform your friends first?'

"... nah, screw them."
