PP SYS Ch 22: No... It’s Not Cute

The next morning I awoke with Cosmog, and we kissed and fooled around, but nothing like last night. When we were done, I left the Paradise Ball with a smile on my face, but there were two bald-headed Team Snagem members staring me in the face.

[This might present a problem. Stall while I create an attack plan if the need arises.]

"Where did you just come from?!" One of the members asked if he was holding a strange metal handle with a hand attached to it.

"I was just walking around, minding my own business, and came in the back of my tent," I said calmly, trying to think of how I could get out of this situation.

The Team Snagem members glanced at each other before raising their weapons and pointing them at me threateningly. "Give us the Cosmog now or else!"

"I don't know what you are talking about, but I would like to know what you are doing in my tent?" I asked as I stood up, and I was just a bit taller than the first and half a head than the second. "I don't think that this is somewhere you should be, isn't it? What is that stupid thing that you're holding in your hand?"

The Team Snagem member holding the metal handle replied, "This is a Snagging Machine! We use it to steal Pokémon from trainers who can't stop us. Now give us that Cosmog, and we won't have any problems!"

I shot them an icy glare before saying. "You really think I'm going to let you just take my Cosmog? Where is this Cosmog? Do you see her?"

"Man, you're brave for someone who has no other Pokémon." The second Team Snagem member said as he raised his arm and put on the snagging machine.

[Just leave the tent here, but be careful. Team Snagem will be wondering where their people are, so you need to go straight to the Poke Center, but that does not mean you will be safe. Keep your eyes open and remember that the world has many dangers you have yet to face.]

"I will," I said before heading out of the tent, but now there was something else in front of me. It was an ugly brown fish.

[That is a level 14 Feebas who will evolve into Milotic when you can increase her beauty high enough. You should send out Cosmog and then catch that Pokémon. She will make a good addition to your team.]

I nodded and sent out Cosmog before I summoned a Paradise Ball from my inventory.

"What is that ugly creature? It's... no, it's not cute. I tried, but it looks like dried dirt with eyes!" Cosmog said as she looked at Feebas in disgust.

"It can evolve, and it will be really beautiful," I explained to her before tossing the ball. Luckily, it caught Feebas, and I picked her Paradise Ball.

Cosmog gave a snort of contempt but then smiled at me when I petted her head and hugged my Pokémon close to me as we left for the Poke-Center. Since she was in her cute white summer outfit, she stuck out like a sore thumb, but she stuck out even worse without it, so halfway back to Phenac, I had to put her away.

It only took a bit more to get to the city, and with Cryo’s help and my trusty path to guide me, I made my way to the Poke-Center.
