#55 of Pokemon - To Catch Them All

Leo returns to Kanto and does some work with his Pokemon


After everything had been accomplished in Victory Road I exited and returned back to Ever Grande City. Salamence was more than happy to fly me back to Ever Grande City with his new ability to fly. When I entered the Pokemon Centre I had my Pokemon fully restored before deciding to contact my mother I'm sure she'd be happy to know what was happening in Hoenn. "Rotom could you call my mother." Rotom began calling and soon enough my mum answered. "Leo, how are you? It's been such a long time. I hope you've been well." I nodded before remembering she couldn't see that motion. "I've been doing really well. I just wanted to call and let you know I've finished everything in Hoenn and I'm planning on returning to Kanto pretty soon. I'll be returning to Littleroot Town and then getting a ferry back to Kanto today." I could hear my mum clap with excitement and back in Kanto, my Pokemon were happy to hear their trainer would be returning with new faces to meet and greet. "That's wonderful news, I'll let every one know and prepare for your arrival. Safe travels!" At that we ended the call and I began my own preparations.

"Salamence come on out!" Salamence roared as he exited his Pokeball landing in front of me with a heavy thud. Salamence seemed interested in what we were planning on doing today. "Alright Salamence can you fly me back to Littleroot Town?" Salamence agreed but questioned why with a curious growl. "Since I've pretty much completed the Hoenn Pokedex. It's time to head back home to Kanto and introduce everyone to my other Pokemon. I bet you can't wait to meet them all. I'd wager you'd get along well with my Dragonite." Salamence seemed even more happy and began flying with even more speed wanting to reach Littleroot Town as quickly as he could. Eventually we landed and I returned Salamence to his Pokeball and before I went to get on the ferry I decided to pay a visit to Professor Birch and inform him of my progress.

I entered the laboratory and was immediately greeted by Professor Birch. "Leo, it's good to see you are doing well. How has your journey been through Hoenn. I hope you managed to catch all the Pokemon you needed!" I nodded, showing Professor Birch my Rotom Phone, who displayed my Pokedex. "My oh my, this is an impressive Pokedex that's for sure. Your making some good progress. I assume your heading back to Kanto then?" I nodded, "yes, I'm going to make some preparations for my next journey to the Sinnoh Rgeion." Professor Birch nodded his head, "ah the Sinnoh Rgeion, you might find its far more different and diverse than the Hoenn Region and as such they'll be even more Pokemon to find that you won't find here."

That was my reason for heading there and at that I said my goodbyes and received well wishes from the Professor before I boarded the ferry and began the journey back to Kanto. Meanwhile back at Kanto, in a specific garden in Viridian City, the garden was a bustle of activity. The Pokemon had just learned that their beloved trainer was returning from Hoenn and they were glad he had been successful. They couldn't wait to see their master before he headed off to the next region to catch even more Pokemon. Some of the Pokemon like Primeape, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee and Hitmontop couldn't wait to show their master how powerful they had become. They were already very powerful thanks to Leo's training methods, but they had been training non stop trying to keep improving for their master. Blissey continually kept an eye on the Pokemon ensuring that nobody overdid their training. Especially now that their master was coming home, the last thing anybody wanted to do was worry him and make him think he needed to stay and keep an eye on his Pokemon instead of achieving his dreams.

Back over with Leo, he had boarded the ferry and he was happily scrolling through his Rotom Phone seeing every Pokemon he had successfully captured and registered to his Pokedex. So far, I had registered 373 Pokemon from all over the world. There were still so many I had left to catch including regional variants, potentially legendary Pokemon once I got even stronger. However, that was a long time from now. The time slowly past by until I could see land approaching and it looked like we were close to reaching Kanto. The captain soon confirmed this with a radio message for all of the passengers to here.

At that the ship arrived at Vermilion City and I quickly departed from the ship eager to return home and see my Pokemon and introduce my new Pokemon to them too. "Come out Tropius!" Tropius appeared and was curious about his surroundings, knowing that he was now in Kanto. "Tropius can you fly me to Viridian City?" Tropius agreed and knelt down allowing me to climb aboard. With some quick directions from me, Tropius managed to find Viridian City without any difficulties.

At that Tropius landed and I returned him to his Pokeball and began walking through my hometown. Many people recognised me and waved hellos and welcome backs. I happily thanked them for their well wishes. Bypassing the Pokemon Centre and Poke Mart where I waved hello to the employees and Nurse Joy. People I hadn't seen in a long time it felt. Eventually I spotted a familiar house in the distance and I quickly dashed to the door, knocking and waiting patiently.

The door opened and it was my mother standing on the other side. "Welcome home Leo." Mum greeted me happily and I happily smiled, "it's good to see you mum." At that I entered my home and noticed several of my smaller Pokemon were waiting around before they departed to the garden ready to have a big welcome for their trainer. "I think you know by now that your Pokemon have been eagerly awaiting your arrival ever since you called home." I nodded, rubbing the back of my head, "yeah I expected that, it's going to be great showing them my new Pokemon.

At that I headed outside and was immediately bombarded with several Pokemon. Those being at the forefront were Blastoise, Venusaur, Charizard, Feraligatr, Meganium and Typhlosion. Once they had finished everyone else dashed forward grabbing me in a massive and strong hug. Eventually they all released me and I began getting ready to release my new Pokemon. "I can't wait to introduce you all to the Pokemon I caught in Hoenn." I said excited and everyone else seemed exited as well. "Alright come out everyone and say hello!"

At that every one of my Hoenn Pokemon was released from the Pokemon Box and admired their surroundings before they also saw the huge amount of Pokemon in front of them. There was one Pokemon I hadn't yet released simply as I needed to do some work on making the lake even bigger and deeper for the new Water Pokemon. "Roserade can you help me plant these berries we harvested from the Hoenn Region?" Roserade happily nodded and me and him gathered all the berries I had acquired through Hoenn.

While that was happening, my Pokemon began doing everything they could to provide assistance. I'd informed my Pokemon that the lake needed to be extended and made much deeper and they immediately began working. The ground Pokemon immediately, began using Dig to help deepen the lake. Not only that their actions allowed the water to begin flowing further and making it even bigger. While they began their work I began mine with Roserade.

From our journeys through Hoenn I had managed to harvest many different types of berries, the berries I had harvested were, Cheri Berries, Chesto Berries, Pecha Berries, Rawst Berries, Aspear Berries, Oran Berries, Sitrus Berries and several more. Me and Roserade began travelling through the entire garden which was ever expanding. Heading into our forest where many of my Grass Pokemon had made their home in amongst the blooming flowers and towering trees. Here was a good place to begin planting a large amount of berries. I handed Roserade several different types of berries and he began planting the berries in the soft soil. When the time comes to water the berries Roserade would ask the Water Types to lend their water to help grow these plants.

Roserade decided to plant a group of Oran and Sitrus Berries together where they would one day grow and be available for all the Pokemon to harvest whenever they desired. I shouldn't have been surprised when Venusaur and Meganium appeared, curious as to what was happening. "Oh, Venusaur, Meganium, I'd like you to meet Roserade, we're planting berries that we harvested in Hoenn." The three Pokemon happily greeted one another and decided to help with the berry planting.

The four of us began walking through the forest planting berries everywhere we could. Until we left the forest and arrived at the plains an open field in which most Pokemon that formed herds lived. Such as Tauros and Donphan to name a few. Eventually we had exhausted our berry supply and that hopefully meant that within a day or even a few hours those berries will grow and they can then be replanted again and again. Though I hoped that some of my Pokemon might also enjoy a more natural snack whenever they felt like it.

I decided to see the progress on the lake, which by now had extended massively and just by dept it had increased too. My Water Pokemon seemed to love having even more room to swim around in. However, it was the moment of truth for me, was Wailord going to be comfy here. I released Wailord who made a heavy splash as he landed in the water. The other Pokemon knew that my recent capture had been big but they hadn't expected Wailord to be this big. Wailord swam through the large lake and seemed to be just fine. "Thanks everyone for working so hard." I thanked all the Pokemon for their dedication and they all cheered in excitement at receiving praise from their beloved trainer.

I decided to observe the Pokemon and see their interactions with one another before I'd give them some one on one attention. I mainly wanted to see the interactions between my Hoenn Pokemon and those caught previously. Where better to start than the started Pokemon of the Hoenn Region. First was Sceptile, Sceptile, was cool, calm and collected. Sceptile took battles seriously and wasn't one for fun and games, most of time time. I expected as much for Sceptile to take a shine to Venusaur and Meganium, but Scepitle also seemed to garner attention from Charizard who seemed to respect the power Sceptile possessed.

Then there was Blaziken and he was very much like Sceptile, a very stern, serious and focused Pokemon, who valued strength but also valued his master too. Blaziken hovered around Charizard and Typhlosion and the three seemed to have battles with one another testing their strength. Blissey was on standby in case any of them got injured in their competitive streaks. Blaziken also began sparring with Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Himtontop which was great to see. Again Blissey kept a close eye on the Fighting to make sure nobody got hurt.

Finally out of the starter Pokemon there was Swampert and I had to admit seeing him grow from a shy, nervous Mudkip, who I presume had been abandoned by his trainer. Now Swampert was confident, powerful and excitable too. Swampert introduced himself to Blastoise and Feraligatr informing them of how his master, their beloved trainer, had rescued him and given him a wonderful happy life. Swampert couldn't explain just how he cherished, admired and respected Leo and would continue to devote himself to his master. The other Pokemon felt the same way and was glad that Swampert had let Leo in.

I wasn't surprised when Mightyena approached Houndoom, the two Pokemon had similar personalities and not too mention they were the same type as well. The main thing those two had in common was considering themselves to be the beta to the alpha. Houndoom therefore respected Mightyena for assuming such a diligent role throughout Hoenn. As such Houndoom immediately approved of Mightyena and considered him a close and loyal ally, teammate and friend. The two then continued observing the massive garden keeping an eye on proceedings and more specifically watching their alphas every move ensuring nothing attacked him.

Linoone as I had expected, took a liking to fellow Normal Types, Raticate and Furret. The three got along swimmingly as Linoone recounted the journeys he had throughout Hoenn. They didn't battle each other much, but they did have a few games and chases to see who was the fastest or the most cunning. Seeing them bonding together was something I loved to see. My eyes drifted towards Beautifly and Dustox who began fluttering around the abundance of flowers that bloomed throughout our garden. Beautifly and Dustox similarly, got along well with Butterfree and Beedrill. Beedrill challenged the two Hoenn Pokemon to battles and he was impressed with their skills and power. Meanwhile Butterfree was more approachable, simply speaking with his fellow Bug Types.

Ludicolo surprisingly approached Hitmontop and at first I was curious, not worried, simply curious. Turns out Ludicolo appreciated and admired when Hitmontop spun around on his head. When he did this it appeared as though Hitmontop was dancing. As such Ludicolo was greatly interested in getting to know his fellow dancer. Hitmontop appreciated the complements, something he hadn't expected. Hitmontop usually expected receiving compliments based on his fighting abilities, not his dancing. Still Hitmontop agreed to dance with Ludicolo every now and then and the two would hold performances together for everyone to see.

Shiftry, kept more to himself, but he did seem to connect with Venusar and Meganium seeing that they were very powerful. Not to mention them both being Grass Types like himself may of been another reason for their successful interaction. Though Shiftry did like to help Roserade with the gardening duties as well. Swellow took to the skies with Fearow and Pidgeot as they began having aerial races together, showing off their aerial abilities for all those watching. Swellow seemed to enjoy the competition and seemed to consider his fellow Flying Types to be his rivals and friends too.

Pelipper did also take part in the aerial races and battles with Swellow, but he also preferred to situate himself around the lake and commune with the Water Pokemon. Pelipper seemed to get along swimmingly with Vaporeon and both my Gyarados too. Gardevoir gravitated towards Alakazam sensing that he was quite powerful and knowledgeable too. Alakazam enjoyed Gardevoir's company and the two would meditate with one another increasing their psychic abilities. The two often engaged in conversations about the future with Leo, since they were psychic and all.

Meanwhile, Gallade the younger brother to Gardevoir, met up with Machamp, sensing that he was incredibly strong based on his appearance. The two battled and sparred with one another, not in a serious battle, but to see how strong their opponent was. Machamp was definitely impressed with Gallade's combat skills, but then again, Machamp knew that any Pokemon trained by Leo could become an exceptional Pokemon. Masquerain, occasionally joined Beautifly and Dustox hovering around the plants. But on occasion, Masquerain headed over to the lake to remember the time when he skated along the water when he was a Surskit.

I had been waiting to see Breloom meet Hitmonchan based on Breloom's personality and how he loved to fight and punch the air repeatedly. So when Breloom saw Hitmonchan he dashed on over and the two engaged in a brief conversation before their eyes glinted and they touched fists before sparring with one another. As Hitmonchan expected any Pokemon raised by Leo was a force to be reckoned with. Slaking didn't move that much, but when he came across Snorlax his interest was peaked. While Slaking didn't have an immense appetite like Snorlax did, the two had a sort of kinship with one another and spent several hours talking with one another watching everyone running around energetically.

Ninjask was quite the speedster and that was exemplified with his Speed Boost ability which made him a blue in the sky. Seeing his speedy abilities, Jolteon and Electrode dashed on over trying to see who was the fastest and happily integrated Ninjask into their speed competitions. The matches always ended in a different winner, but they seemed to be having lots of fun. Meanwhile, Shedinja, seemed a little lost, but seemed to gravitate towards my Unown for reasons unknown to me. Still, perhaps they both had something in common but it was good to see them both interacting with one another.

Exploud was interested in seeing if any of my other Pokemon could challenge him not based on physical strength, but based on his voice. I didn't really have many Pokemon like that, so he chose to compete against Ursaring another powerful Normal Type I had raised. Ursaring preferred to have physical fights to see how strong he and his opponent were but didn't mind trying something new. Hariyama was more than happy to meet so many Fighting Types but he seemed to gravitate towards Machamp based on his size and sheer strength. Machamp and Hariyama fought each other, both complementing the others skill and power. They would then go on a train together teaching one another new skills to advance their strength.

Nosepass naturally integrated into the Rock Pokemon community, Golem was interested in seeing the defensive capabilities of the new Rock Type and was impressed to find that Nosepass hadn't evolved yet and was still a very capable Pokemon. At first Nosepass seemed rather shy and almost timid, but given so time getting used to his new environment and the many new faces around he regained his natural confidence. Delcatty and Persian seemed to be getting along swimmingly as they both shared similar characteristics, they both seemed to love it when I gave them pets and brushes too. They both had similar personalities and therefore it was no surprise that they gravitated towards one another.

Sableye didn't have to seek out my Gengar and Mismagius. The two had quickly integrated him into their ghostly, prankster group and they immediately bonded by unanimously deciding to try and scare their beloved trainer. Though with so many Pokemon protecting their master, it wasn't an easy task and besides, Leo always knew what they were planning before they even attempted anything. Mawile found himself enjoying the company of Wigglytuff, one of my few Fairy Type Pokemon. I hadn't really expected those two to clash so well together, but they did and that was great to see.

Aggron being an imposing Pokemon, but also a rather gentle giant, was quick to introduce himself to Tyranitar my other gentle giant. The two Pokemon quickly became good friends and rivals based on their similar levels of strength. The two also bonded over their desire to help out their master wherever he went, no matter the environments, they would help their master navigate those treacherous conditions. Medicham had not forgotten his rivalry with Gallade and the two occasionally still fought to see who was stronger much to the other Pokemon's amusement. Blissey always stepped in to ensure the two rivals weren't taking their fighting too far.

Manectric found himself accepted by Houndoom and Mightyena, while on my journey through Hoenn. Manectric hadn't presented himself as a pack Pokemon that considered me as an alpha. However, he did dutifully follow any commands and ensure I was safe at all times. That meant he qualified for the position in the eyes of Houndoom. However, Manectric also got along well with the other Electric Types, Ampharos especially. Plusle and Minun were more than happy to run and around and get to know everyone they could, they never slowed down not for anything nor anyone. They both got along great with Pikachu and Raichu both. Volbeat and Illumise, got along well with Ariados and Ledian. Volbeat liked to compete against Ariados and Illumise happily bonded Ledian.

Roserade as briefly mentioned already loved gardening and attending to the garden ensuring everything was healthy and in pristine condition. Roserade received much help from many Pokemon, though Sceptile and Shiftry may have been the most surprising simply because their personalities didn't scream, enjoying attending to gardening chores. Still, perhaps they enjoyed helping Roserade and inadvertently, helping me since I had been responsible for collecting those berries in the first place. Swalot, got along well with Slaking, as he to had quite the appetite and not too mention Swalot's stomach acids dealt with pretty much anything. Also, Swalot enjoyed conversing with Muk, as they both spoke of their experiences with their master and wanting to ensure they didn't poison him accidentally. They also loved their trainer for treating them the same as any other Pokemon.

Sharpedo was quite the speedster in the water, Kingdra seemed to happily engage him in a few races with most of the time Sharpedo being the winner. However, when they battled, Kingdra usually became the winner, creating a good friendly rivalry between the two powerful Pokemon. Wailord loved exploring the large lake exploring every nook and cranny he could even at his increased size. Many of the inhabitants of the lake liked to hover around Wailord as he swam as they believed he offered security from the elements not that he minded. Camerupt introduced himself to Magcargo impressed at the heat he gave off. Those two got along brilliantly thanks to their elements.

Torkoal too found himself in the presence of my Fire Type Flareon who found Torkoal to be a worthy adversary in battle. Grumpig bounced his way around the park greeting everyone Pokemon he could. Grumpig eventually came across my Espeon and the two engaged in a rather invigorating conversation. Spinda was uncertain as to whether he would be accepted easily due to his appearance and experiences he had in the past, where many trainers and Pokemon judged him on his unique appearance. However, Spinda was welcomed by Dunsparce a Pokemon that to was considered unique by most trainers.

Flygon flew around the park surveying the area and found himself drawn to Fearow who he battled against. The two even competed in sky relays with one another, both finding the other to be a worthy opponent. Cacturne wondered through the park cautiously, he had been slightly nervous wondering whether the Pokemon would treat him with fear or respect based on his appearance. However, much like Spinda he happily met up with a Pokemon who understood his concerns, my Umbreon. Altaria enjoyed meeting so many new faces and now had more reasons to act as a scarf for me since the climate of Kanto was colder than the tropical Hoenn.

Zangoose and Seviper may have been arch enemies, but recently had learned to not fight as to not displease or worry their trainer. As such, the two Pokemon simply glared lightly at the other before heading off their separate ways. Zangoose dashed around the park at lightning speed before reaching Tauros a Pokemon that Zangoose believed would make an excellent sparring partner. The two fought in battle and found each other to be a worthy rival. Meanwhile Seviper slithered across the park, enjoying the sensation of grass against his scales before he slithered up to fellow snake Pokemon Arbok. The two immediately became good friends and competed to see who could give their trainer the strongest, most affectionate hug they could.

Lunatone and Solrock drifted along the park together as they began gravitating towards my Psychic Types. Alakazam happily welcomed the new arrivals happy to teach them new moves and learn some from the sun and moon Pokemon to. Whiscash swam through the lake, but preferred to sometimes be at the bottom where he could rest and relax peacefully. It was here he enjoyed company from Octillery who occasionally dived down to speak with his new friend. Crawduant to enjoyed swimming through the lake, but also didn't mind walking on the land too. Crawdaunt was welcomed by Gyarados both of them. They battled fiercely and Gyarados clearly respected the new Pokemon.

Claydol drifted along the park curious as to its surroundings before it came across Xatu who simply stood in place observing the newcomers. Xatu noticed his onlooker and introduced himself and Claydol was more than happy to engage in a conversation with its fellow Psychic Type. Cradily and Armaldo joined Omastar, Kabutops and Aerodactyl who were happy and impressed to see that their fellow revived brethren had evolved and had become more confident and powerful too. Not that that was a surprise to my Kanto Fossils as they knew I was a kind loving trainer who raised them with the utmost respect and care.

Milotic swam gracefully through the lake, attracting many onlookers who admired his beauty. Jynx was one of them as she seemed rather jealous off someone so beautiful compared to her. Still Jynx considered Milotic to be her rival when it came to beauty much to Milotic's embarrassment as he didn't really see himself as a beautiful Pokemon per say. Castform was welcomed by my Pokemon as he could predict whether patterns accurately and as such he helped my Pokemon know what was coming and when something which everyone appreciated. Kecleon being a Pokemon that could turn almost completely invisible was brought to Gengar who saw talent for mischief and pranks. Kecleon was more than happy to be of assistance much to the other Pokemon's concern for their trainer.

Banette similarly was introduced to the prankster group and helped them with their ghostly pranks hoping to one day successful scare his beloved trainer. Banette desperately wanted to see how I would look scared. Dusclops kept a close eye on Banette and the other ghosts ensuring that their pranks weren't too dangerous or unexpected for me much to my thanks. Tropius stomped through the park enjoying the forests and glades of the park before he came across Miltank and the two seemed to have much in common as they spoke fervently. Chimecho was instantly welcomed by my mother of all, she simply adored his appearance and his voice which helped calm and relax her whenever her work was too stressful. Chimecho was more than happy to be of assistance and loved to sing simply.

Absol kept a close eye on his trainer as he sat down in the grass. When he was sure there was nothing to be concerned about Absol walked calmly to Houndoom and Mightyena where he wanted to be a part of their small group. Mightyena happily recommended to Houndoom that Absol be welcomed as Absol had been dutifully protecting their master since their travels in Hoenn. As such Houndoom happily welcomed Absol in as a beta to the alpha of Leo. My Wobbuffet quickly met up with my Wobbuffet and they quickly began conversing about their trainer and their respective adventures through their own regions.

Glalie and Froslass stayed together as they began exploring the garden. They did find the climate of Kanto to be more welcoming than the tropical climate of Hoenn. The two Ice Types quickly integrated themselves with Sneasel who was happy to welcome the two Ice Types. Walrein stayed at the edge of the lake enjoying the peaceful environment and he too enjoyed the colder climate of Kanto, finding it easier for him. Walrein happily conversed with Feraligatr at the edge of the lake and even occasionally battled his new rival. Huntail and Gorebyss preferred the depths of the ocean where they happily greeted Starmie. Relicanth too felt most comfortable at the very bottom of the lake bed. Luvdisc attracted just as much attention as Milotic did, thanks to his beautiful appearance and he wasn't bothered about flaunting his appearance either.

Salamence eagerly took to the skies to showcase his newfound impressive ability to fly and he attracted attention from my Dragonite who sensed a kindred spirit with Salamence. The two declared themselves rivals and fought against one another never was there a winner in their battles. This only made their competitions even more impressive. Then there was Metagross who did seem rather confused and interested about its new surroundings. Metagross came across Magneton and the two engaged in what looked like a rather interesting conversation with them both looking over at me before their eyes glinted with an unknown emotion.

I happily enjoyed watching the Pokemon as they began settling in their new home. There seemed to be no complaints from anyone even Wailord and the other Water Pokemon too. However, I was assured that they would continue to maintain the size of the lake increasing it every so often for when my next group of Pokemon arrived. At that before I headed of to Sinnoh I began to spend some one on one time with each of my Pokemon. First was Sceptile who seemed curious about why I had some grooming tools. When Venusaur informed him of my usual duties Sceptile seemed embarrassed and impressed. Nonetheless I began brushing Sceptile's body making sure he looked handsome.

Next was Blaziken and he too seemed rather embarrassed, he'd always embraced the tough guy image ever since evolving. Still he accepted the brushing as I looked over his body making sure he was healthy and happy. Swampert ambled over for his turn and I generously applied some lotion onto his body before rubbing it in making his body shine glamorously. Swampert seemed to love the attention he received. Mightyena left Houndoom and Absol approaching me happily seeing my brush. Mightyena quickly laid down and allowed me to brush his fur making sure there were no knots or problems. Mightyena happily repaid me by licking my entire face as I playfully tried to dodge his attacks.

Linoone rushed on over also happy to receive such a lovely brushing. I petted his head before he ran off back to getting stronger for me. Beautifly and Dustox left some nearby flowers and approached me as I began petting them and giving them a soft brush ensuring their wings were healthy and that they were happy to. Ludicolo was next and he happily danced on over to me, where I brushed his body and made sure he looked his best. Shiftry landed with a silent thud as he stared down at me, I almost didn't even hear or see him and he seemed to be smirking impressed with his abilities. I happily brushed him over and he disappeared happily into the trees no doubt keeping a close eye on me.

Swellow was next as he landed in front of me staring me down curiously. Swellow allowed me to meticulously care for his feathers ensuring that they were healthy which would allow him to fly without any problems. Pelipper happily followed Swellow down and I too brushed his feathers making sure they also shined brightly thanks to some tender care. Gardevoir happily teleported to me, knowing what was happening as he allowed me to brush his entire body. Gardevoir seemed to enjoy the sensation before he called over his younger brother for his turn.

Gallade immediately appeared staring me down with happiness shining in his eyes. Gallade didn't seem all that embarrassed when I began brushing him down, however Gallade did seem rather smug when he noticed his rival Medicham was staring daggers at him, eyes shining with jealousy. Masquerain had been hovering over the lake when I called him over. Masquerain allowed me to inspect his wings and make sure they were in pristine condition. Breloom dashed over to me eagerly pumping his fists in the air, showcasing his desire to do some training. However, I informed him this was a time for me to care for him. Breloom understood and lowered his fists down seeming to be rather embarrassed at his mistake. Breloom should have known his master would want to spend the time helping him.

I headed over to Slaking, who seemed to be asleep but when I approached he opened his eyes and seemed rather happy to see me. I happily brushed over his body as he began to fall asleep to the relaxing sensation of the brush against his skin. Ninjask dashed towards me with incredible speed, dragging Shedinja with him too. I started with Ninjask, brushing his small body before inspecting his wings. Then with Shedinja I didn't have to be careful about the old superstition about staring at the back of Shedinja. My Shedinja had never stolen my spirit and I doubt it ever would. I polished his shell making sure it shined brightly so it could go show itself off to the other Pokemon.

Exploud loudly announced his presence as he walked towards me happy to receive some attention. Since I struggled to reach his higher up body he lifted me up without me even asking much to my shock at first. Exploud happily ensured me that I was safe and I knew I was. Thanks to Exploud's help I managed to brush his entire body and give him a nice pet on the head for being so helpful. Much to his embarrassment. Hariyama was much like Exploud, however, I applied some lotion onto his body to help his muscles relax. Being a Fighting Type he would be working his muscles every day so they needed lots of attention. Hariyama also lifted me up allowing me to reach higher. Hariyama seemed to greatly enjoy the massage as he eventually released me allowing me to cater to the other Pokemon.

Nosepass was next and I grabbed my polish and a soft brush and began applying the polish onto his rocky body. Nosepass seemed to enjoy the polishing as he closed his eyes and if I wasn't sure he may have almost started falling asleep much to his embarrassment. Delcatty walked on over before happily laying on my lap as I began thoroughly brushing his fur much to his happiness. Delcatty had always loved a good brushing and this was just as good as any other time he had been brushed. Sableye appeared sneakily trying to scare me but it ended in failure as I had an attuned sixth sense to the presence of these sneaky ghosts. Still I brushed over Sableye and he returned to his ghost friends disappointed at his attempt to scare me ending in failure.

Mawile walked on over and I applied some polish onto his second head, making sure he was fine with it before I did anything tough. Mawile was more than happy to receive the attention and as such I began rubbing the polish on his body making him shine. Aggron was next and I began by applying the polish on his armoured body much to his liking. When the height became an issue Aggron happily grabbed me before depositing me on his head where I continued polishing his body. Medicham was next and approached me happy to get some attention and make his rival jealous too. I happily brushed Medicham making sure his muscles were healthy too. Manectric dashed speedily towards me happy to be brushed by his beloved trainer and much like Mightyena before him be thanked me by licking my face thoroughly.

Plusle and Minun ran over to me cheering happily as they happily received a brushing from their trainer. Once done they happily showed off their new looks to all the Pokemon they could. Volbeat and Illumise were next and Volbeat allowed Illumise to receive her brushing first as his way of showing his affection to her. Illumise seemed thankful and accepted the brushing before allowing Volbeat his turn. Volbeat thanked me extensively before following Illumise around trying to show her how impressive he was. I watched as Illumise flew away followed by Volbeat. Roserade was next and he had finished with the gardening so I wanted to make sure he received some attention and make sure that he rested. It was important that he took the time to care for himself and not just the garden too. However, Roserade reiterated those same words back to me since I cared for my Pokemon more than myself most of the time.

Swalot was next and he seemed disappointed he couldn't receive much physical attention however, much like I had done in the past with Muk and Weezing I grabbed some gloves and applied some lotion to Swalot showing that even though he was a Poison Type he could still be given the same attention as any other Pokemon. I headed over to the lake where Sharpedo was racing around at lightning speed before he swam over to me. I applied some lotion to him and gently massaged it into his scales, his ability Rough Skin didn't hurt me as much as I thought it would. However, I never told Sharpedo that he'd immediately swim away if he thought I was in pain because of him.

Next was Wailord and he did insist that I didn't attend to his entire body simply because he was a large Pokemon and the process would take a unfathomable amount of time. However, if there was one thing many of my large Pokemon knew it was that I was a very determined person and never allowed any Pokemon to be left out of these sessions. As such Wailord was given a thorough polishing in a timely manner. I headed over to Camerupt next and began by brushing his body and making sure the humps on his back weren't close to erupting anytime soon. Thankfully they weren't and besides Camerupt would have gotten some distance away before they erupted.

Torkoal ambled over to me slowly and I began by polishing his shell and ensuring it was in good condition to which it was. Grumpig bounced over and I happily began brushing his fur and ensuring he looked to be in pristine condition. Spinda walked to me curious but accepted the brushing happily as he sighed dreaminly content with the affection. Flygon flew on over landing waiting for his turn, I quickly began brushing his entire body and applying some lotion making his skin even more healthy. Cacturne was next and was surprised at his trainer going to all this effort for every single one of his Pokemon. Cacturne turly admired his beloved trainer for everything he had done.

Altaria was difficult to brush simply because while I brushed Altaria he wanted to return the favour and consistently tried brushing me with his wings much to his amusement. Zangoose dashed on over with surprising speed as he looked at me with intrigue, Zangoose may have looked like a tough and powerful Pokemon and he was but on the inside he was quite soft and kind especially to his trainer. For outward appearances he reluctantly accepted the brushing but on the inside he loved the attention.

Meanwhile Seviper slithered on over smelling me, noticing that I had the scent of Zangoose all over me, much to his annoyance. As such, Seviper slithered all over me covering me in his scent. Once he finished I began applying some lotion to his scales and rubbing in it making his scales shine. Lunatone and Solrock were next and I applied some lotion onto their rocky skin before rubbing it in. Next I headed over to Whiscash who swam to the surface to meet me. Once more I applied some lotion thoroughly on his body and rubbed it in much to his happiness. Crawdaunt followed Whiscash and I happily applied a brush and lotion onto his skin as well. Crawdaunt appeared to be slightly embarrassed but enjoyed the sensation nonetheless.

Claydol spun over to me, before lowering himself down to my level allowing me to begin brushing and applying lotion to his body. While applying it Claydol decided to help by simply spinning his body around. Cradily and Armaldo were very confused when I presented them with a brush and lotion but when Omastar, Kabutops and Aerodactyl encouraged them to go and see me they did. Obviously, they knew that I wasn't planning on hurting them but it was a new sensation for them. Cradily and Armaldo definitely enjoyed the brushing and happily wrapped me up in a powerful hug only releasing me once they were happy.

I went back to the lake to find Milotic waiting patiently with a smile on his face. I stared at the tail and began working my way up his elegant and slender body. Eventually I reached his head and gave him a petting before he wrapped his slender body around me giving me a powerful hug as thanks. Castform was next and he was easy to cater for, being so small it barely took any time for his brushing. He still enjoyed it very much. Kecleon tried sneaking up on me but I spotted his zigzag pattern preventing him from scaring me. I still happily brushed him much to his happiness. Banette followed trying to use his ghostly abilities to sneak up on me however, he was foiled by Houndoom and his friends. Banette sulked as he approached and I brushed him wishing him luck for next time. That sure cheered him up.

Dusclops simply walked over to me, he wasn't going to try and scare me. He simply wanted to have some one on one attention with me which I happily provided to him. Tropius flew on over, landing with a heavy thud. I grabbed my brush and began brushing over him. Eventually Tropius lifted me up and deposited me on his back so I could inspect his wings and his fruit too. Chimecho left my mum briefly and I mainly checked to see whether he was looking nice and healthy which he was. Absol appeared silently behind me smirking when I turned and was shocked at the sight of him. I smiled and brushed him while Absol closed his eyes relaxing enjoying the session thoroughly.

I saw my second Wobbuffet and managed to give him a quick brush while he spoke happily with his fellow Wobbuffet. Glalie and Froslass visited me at the same time and I happily rubbed some lotion onto Glalie and brushed Froslass too. The two Ice Pokemon seemed rather happy at the sensation. Next was Walrein and he was waiting patiently at the waters edge. I headed on over and began brushing his body making sure he looked his absolute best. Huntail and Gorebyss swam over curious as to what was happening. Once I began applying some lotion to their bodies they happily enjoyed the sensation before eventually swimming off to go and show everyone their new look.

Relicanth too appeared curious and I began applying some lotion on his rocky body and saw that he seemed to really enjoy the feeling of the lotion sinking in to his skin. Relicanth happily thanked me as he swam down to the depths of the lake bed. Luvdisc was next and he happily leaped into my lap where I began rubbing some lotion on his body making his heart shaped body shine beautifully. Luvdisc immediately swam to Milotic to compare their beauty and was stunned at how beautiful Milotic appeared to be. Salamence announced his presence with a loud and powerful roar as he landed behind me. I turned and faced the confused Salamence who had heard from Dragonite about what was happening. I simply walked on over and slowly began brushing his dragon body and he seemed to enjoy the sensation as he yawned cutely.

Once he realised what he had done, he glared playfully at me before picking me up and depositing me on his back before he began running and jumping around trying to shake me off and make the session even more fun. Eventually he stopped and I finished brushing him before I suddenly felt myself levitate in the air. When I was put back on the ground Salamence glared with jealously at Metagross who simply waited patiently for his turn. I grabbed some polish and began applying it delicately against Metagross' body. I was extremely careful throughout the process making sure the polish was spread evenly. Metagross didn't seem to mind as it simply watched me curiously.

Once that was done I noticed that the sun was already beginning to set and I was feeling incredibly tired after spending so much time with every one of my Pokemon. As such I slowly began making my way back inside but before I could do anything Gallade appeared. Gallade had sensed what he needed to do and he was more than happy to do it. Gallade without even allowing his master to do anything, picked him up like he was a princess before Gallade began walking through the unfamiliar home before he reached his masters bedroom.

Delicately, Gallade placed his master on his bed and realised that while he had been carrying him Leo had already fallen asleep. Gallade smiled as he silently covered his master with the bed cover before closing the door and heading back outside to sleep himself.
