What am I going to do with you?\"\n\"Nothing. I'm your lead protagonist, remember?\"\nAlso, I can't turn the bold off \u003e.\u003c","content":" **Josh**\n\n**Me being me, I entered New Bark Town with a bang. \u0026nbsp;They had just built a new Pokemon Mart, and\u0026nbsp;everything\u0026nbsp;was priced at a steal!**\n\n**\"Where the hell did you get explosives?\" Officer Jenny demanded. \"And why did you take everything from the Pokemon Mart?\"**\n\n**\"Well, no one got hurt, did they? I've promised to front the charges, or however that goes. I'm paying a fine and stuff. I've admitted that I did it. I'll even pay the owner back in damages on top of buying the stolen products. What else do you need?\"**\n\n**Alright, so this is how it went. On the road, I met a girl. We fell into step, and I tried to pickpocket her. Her wallet was in her back pocket.**\n\n**Long story short, I failed. I found out immediately that she could kick my ass. Lucky me, I only ended up with a slap on the wrist, the cheek, and finally a double slap from her jigglypuff. My pyroar did what I assume was a chuckle and purred. \"_You deserved that,\"_\u0026nbsp;Dunter translated psychicly as the pyroar in question yawned loudly and retreated into her pokeball. What? I'm a good guy. I let my mons come and go as they please. Usually, I only carry pokeballs for ease of movement. When my mons want to be out, they come out. When they want to get in, they get in.\u0026nbsp;**\n\n**Anyways, she retreated and the girl challenged me to a battle. She had six electrodes, and she fought\u0026nbsp;dirty. I won, in the end, but halfway through, I had an idea.**\n\n**\"Hey, I'm heading to New Bark. And I heard that they opened a Pokemon center over there. Fire blast, garchomp! And it's down!\"**\n\n**\"Yeah? Go on out, 'Lectrode!\" She glared at me. \"Thunderbolt.\"**\n\n**\"It won't work! Anyways, I need a little help.\"**\n\n**\"Why should I help you, you perv! Explosion!**\n\n**\"Explosion. Exactly,\" I said, grinning. \"Get on out there, Angie.\" I got a shock at that one. Angie hates her name. \"Dig!\"**\n\n**She scowled. \"Do I get anything out of it?\"**\n\n**\"Yep. Free Mart goods.\"**\n\n**\"I'm in,\" she said, the concept slowly dawning on her. We shook on it, and everything escalated from there.**\n\n**Electrode used explosion. Zoroark disguised our faces. It was the perfect crime. I even had enough money in my sinnoh bank account from my previous league wins to cover the cost if we failed.\u0026nbsp;**\n\n**And we did. She escaped, but I got caught lounging outside of the house of someone named \"Crystal\". The security cameras had gotten our faces. \"You're under arrest,\" the resident officer Jenny said as I ogled at her figure. \"You have the right to remain silent,\" she continued as I winced at the number of growlithe bites that had suddenly appeared all over my body. And that's where we started.**\n\n**Suddenly, a voice pipped up. \"It's OK, Jenny. He's with me**\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Josh Bureon","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/987987-pokemon-returning-champion-prologue.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/995910-sebastian.json"}}
