Evolution Stones (10)

"It's time for a holiday!"

My mum shouts while pumping her fist up.

Everyone in the family was pumped up today. We were going to visit the Kanto region as a break for my parents and a reward for myself.

"Let's go my Golden Child."

I hear my dad say while chuckling behind me. Taking my brown scarf I start to head down to the living room.

"Please stop."

I groan out. I was already tired of the title and I just got it a few weeks ago. Because of my academic achievements I was being hailed as Sinnoh's "Golden Child".

To be fair I kind of smashed through every theory and physical test because of my personal training. It doesn't help that I apparently beat Cynthia's scores when she was at school as well.

Pair my already mature mind with psychic abilities and you got a lazy ass that could still outsmart you when you turn 80.

I'm now at the tender age of 10 and have four years left till I can become a trainer.

We went to our nearest teleport station where people would teleport you to where ever city/town you want as long as you paid.

"Mum I heard that the Indigo League would be running while we go there, can we get tickets?"

I ask her. I really want to watch a league for the first time, it's awesome seeing it on television but it doesn't compare to the real thing.

"Way ahead of you sweetie, I already bought the tickets."

She responded with a mischievous smirk.

Before we teleported, I retrieved Doublade from my shadow.

The place we ended up teleporting to was called Lily Pad Town and was where we boarded the airplane.

'Well I guess this will be a new experience, for this life at least. I've always hated the smell of airplane food, I may not be a picky eater but my nose is a picky smeller."

I think to myself.

-Master, don't forget about my dusk stone!-

I hear Doublade remind me.

-I wont, any specific Pokemon you want to eat?-

I ask knowing that his little hobby is trying out different flavoured souls.

-I heard from a Dusknoir that a Pikachu is kinda fruity-

He says making me get a weirded out look.

-Ok-

'I did not need to know that. Also what the fuck does fruity mean?'

I have used my psychic powers to remove some "irrelevant " information from my head to keep myself sane.

In the end I spent the entire airplane trip trying to figure out if fruity means taste like fruits or just juicy.

…

"We're finally here."

My dad says while he rubs his eyes. It was currently in the middle of the night when the airplane landed and we really needed some sleep

"Let's go shopping first."

My mum says with stars in her eyes.

In the end dad went off to find the Hotel we would be staying at in Saffron City while mother and I went shopping.

We asked a few people around where to go and we ended up getting directions to the shopping district where all types of stores could be found.

"Mum I really want a dusk stone."

I tell her while we were walking through the shopping district.

"Sure but I want to buy you some clothes first young man."

Hearing her I sigh but agree.

For the next few hours we spent our time just shopping around for different things.

'I should probably get Dawn a gift.'

I think to myself.

"Mum can we go buy a gift for Dawn."

Asking this I got teased a lot by my mother but she relented and we ended up near one of those well known jewellery stores in Saffron.

"You gonna date Dawn anytime soon? Johanna and I have see. The way you guys talk to each other."

She says while we enter the shop.

'She really snitched on Dawn like that, damn.'

"No dating till I'm 15."

I say resolutely not wanting for this conversation to go anywhere.

In this world at the age of 16 is where you could be considered an "adult". You age slower here than in my past world as the hours in a day is extended by a couple hours.

With people's normal "super human" feats it, isn't too hard to believe that humans have a longer life span.

Back to the no dating part yet, I don't want any distractions plus it doesn't feel right to date someone I'm "older" than. It just doesn't sit well with me, when she is older and serious about it though I'll agree.

15 is the age right before becoming an adult which is the equivalent of a 17 on Earth.

It's still a bit young but it's better than a child at least.

"Mum isn't this too expensive for just a souvenir gift?"

I question with an are you serious face.

"Sweetie it doesn't matter how much it costs, don't worry mummy has got you. This will secure Dawn for you if she keeps the necklace and wears it."

She responds with a devious grin.

'Mum and Johanna definitely hooking us up right now.'

I think to myself.

In the end we ended up buying the sapphire necklace while I left with an embarrassed look.

Going through a few more shops we started to get to the "Well Known" shops that sell a lot of high quality goods.

"Mum there should be evolution stones in this shop."

I tell her. Mother who is holding like four bags full of things we bought today, turned around and started to enter the shop with me following behind.

"Welcome customer, what can I help you with today?"

A man says at the entrance of the shop.

"Hello sir, we were looking for some evolution stones."

My mum responded.

"Any stones in particular that are trying to find?"

He asks.

Taking over the conversation I start to tell him what I wanted. "I'm looking for a Dusk stone and if possible a shiny and thunder stone."

I tell the guy. He quickly told us to wait over near the counter while he went to go get the items we requested.

Evolution stones are quite interesting, in this world they're just a surge of a lot of energy entering a Pokemons body if the element or energy is compatible.

These stones can come in all shapes and sizes and house different amounts of energy which an effect how strong your Pokemon is after evolution.

So theoretically you could evolve a Pokemon without a stone if you have the right method.

But even if you get a small stone it still doesn't matter as you can still get your Pokemon to a stronger level.

It's just that a stronger stone gives a Pokemon a head start in terms of power.

So from what I've taken away from last yea run my project is that having a smaller stone is better so you can train your Pokemon to its fullest potential.

Giving it a head start in power is giving it too much power for a Pokemon to control right away, but compared to if they got a weak stone they could train their abilities right away.

The man coming back after a few minutes goes behind a glass desk and places down nine evolution stones.

"We've got a stone for every size you need, and if you buy three different stones we will give you a 10% discount"

He says while going on to tell us the difference between the quality between them.

"Mum I want the small dusk stone, small shiny stone and 3 big thunder stones"

I ask her.

"Are you sure? We can buy the high quality ones for the dusk and shiny stones if you want.."

She tells me with a sad look.

'Hey don't give me that sad look.'

In the end I got the evolution stones though and left the store with a happy face.

"Why aren't you putting the shopping bags in the spatial bags?"

I ask.

"Because it's fun."

'That literally doesn't explain anything.'

I think to myself not responding to mother but just nodding.

-I just heard a Ghastly say a Chancey tastes like a cake-

'How does it know what a cake taste like anyways, wait what the fu-'
