Paradise Pokeball System

Vol. 2 Chapter 49: Bug Catching

"Why did you call me out for this? This is totally a Lusamine or Iono thing! The entire reason why I went and got food was for that reason! Do you know how many calories this body burns?! Send me back and let me fight in the next one!" Nemona complained, and I sighed, but she put up her fork that had a piece of meat on it. "Don't get me wrong, if you wanted me to teach momma here a lesson that bad, then you have to hold my food, okay?"

I walked over shaking my head, and took the plate that Nemona handed to me. After, she stood up, dusting her orange shorts and then the crumbs off her baggy white shirt that had stains on it. She looked like she was trying to relax for a moment in private, and I summoned her out. Still, this girl always wanted to battle, and I kind of wondered if it was an act like Grusha. This could all be the handy work of Iono, but this really wasn't the time.

"Fine, I will battle, but you have to do one thing for me," Nemona said, and I nodded. "Don't eat anything on this plate."

I nodded and flicked my hand for her to go while holding the plate. I just wished one of the girls would just come out normal and defeat the Pokémon, maybe do a little dance, then go back. Though, Grusha's act was pretty funny, so maybe Nemona really was just taking a break.

Nemona stretched a bit as the Flygon watched her in confusion, keeping still this entire time. It was clear that the Pokémon didn't understand what it had just seen with Nemona coming out of the ball. It was also probably pretty confused as to why I asked her to fight, and not a Pokémon.

"Alright! Interrupt my meal for a battle? Think I will back down? It's go time! Light it up!" Nemona cheered, and her clothing, hair, and even skin burned away leaving her body covered in a purple red, and blue space-like coating. Twelve stars started to Orbit Nemona as she floated in the air about five feet, and then all the stars moved to orbit her like a clock, all of them glowing brighter.

"Alright, let's do this!" Nemona said, but then Flygon was on the ground, trying to use its short arms to cover its head. "What? What is wrong with this Pokémon? Didn't you bring me out here to fight? It looks more like I am bullying the poor thing!"

Nemona's stars vanished, and then she floated down and helped the Pokémon up. She then turned and waved for Lumi to come, and she floated over as I walked over to join them. Once Lumi reached Nemona, she pointed to the Flygon.

"Ask her why she gave up so fast. I was watching from Prisma," Nemona said, then looked at me as I arrived beside her with the plate of food. "Before someone interrupted me, but it clearly looked like you wanted to fight, so what is the deal?"

Flygon looked away and then chirped something, and Lumi nodded. "She is right, you are a scary monster. You look like a Legendary Pokémon when you are like this, so she knew she couldn't beat you and submitted to our master."

"Wha?! I am not a scary monster, am I?" Nemona asked, looking at me as I tried not to get lost in the cosmic background that was her skin.

"You are a bit intimidating, but my form isn't any better. I can see when she might think you were a strong Pokémon," I said with a smile and handed her back the plate with her food, and she just shrugged.

"I guess so, but you had better find me a tough opponent for my next fight! I really want to go all out, but send me a text next time first!" Nemona complained with a grin, and then turned into light with her ball and returned to my body with her food.

I sighed at everything, but the most surprising thing was that food could be brought out of Prisma. Though, I needed to deal with these Pokémon. I turned to the Flygon with her head lowered, summoned a Paradise Ball, and then pressed it to the top of the Pokémon's head without hesitation. It had submitted, so nothing else needed to be said, and then Flygon turned into light as the Paradise ball opened, and then Pokémon was sucked inside.

The ball didn't shake, it only clicked, and I put it away, summoning another ball. I turned to the little Trapinch at my feet that was looking up at me expectantly, and I lowered my hand down and pressed the ball to its head, and the Pokémon was sucked inside. Again, the ball didn't even move, and I was now the proud owner of two new dragon Pokémon, even if they would turn out to be the same.

I sighed again, turned around, and was greeted with the sight of my other Pokémon standing on the path, looking bored. Popsicle was the first to notice and did a fist pump.

"Finally! Master is done bug-catching! Let's get going before more annoying Pokémon try to get caught! I want more Pyroar fights!" Popsicle cheered, and then the other girls cheered along, but it must have been boring for them since there was no fighting.

"Come on girls, let's continue on our way!" I cheered, and we were back to walking towards the center plaza of the biomes.

After we had got out of the forest, we came across an open field where some older kids were playing. We were going to walk around them, but they noticed us and waved, so we waved back. When they called us over, I looked around at the girls, and they all shrugged.

"Well, let's go say hello," I said and walked forward, but the kids both pulled out poke balls, making me frown, but then I realized they were students.

"I hear that you are that new weird trainer everyone is talking about!" The girl with red hair declared, pointing at me with her Poke ball in the same hand. "I want to have a battle with you!"

"Yeah, I also heard that your Pokémon were different, but that is not what I expected!" The boy with brown hair said, but then his female partner smacked the back of his head.

"Stop looking at those Pokémon like that! You look like a pervert! Focus! We will be famous if we can defeat him! He was even on Iono's stream yesterday! We might even get noticed by her!" The girl growled but then looked at me. "Since you are alone, you can use a total of four Pokémon and we will each use two if you are okay with that?"

I hummed at this, tapping my finger to my chin, but then my phone went off in my inventory. I put up a hand and asked the two to wait because I had just got a call. They nodded and I pulled the phone out to see that it was a call from Nemona, so I answered it. "Hello?"

"Send Lusamine and me out first! Then Iono and Grusha! We are recording live on stream right now, so Iono wants to have a big debut as a Pokémon or whatever. I just want to battle now that I am full and have nothing to show for my last battle! Plus, these two are trainers, so they can't back out after challenging you!" Nemona said over the phone, and I sighed.

I still wasn't really sure about all of this, but the Meowth was out of the bag now, so I just had to roll with it. Problems were sure to come in the future, I just hoped that no one got hurt because of my choices.
