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.

"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.
