~Soutarou POV~
Ralts on the other hand finally lost it hearing the nonsense Soutarou was whispering to Feebas and used her psychic link to Soutarou to tell him, {Master! I hate fish!}
Soutarou paused internally and clicked his tongue, 'So you're not tired, just jealous? This girl… Are you sure you're not a Latina in secret?'
Responding to her, Soutarou didn't once stop complimenting and soothing Feebas even after they got her into the tub. He gently caressed her scales and cleaned her with water and an expensive brand of soap the name of which he couldn't even pronounce.
{Ralts… I'm trying to gain her trust so our team can have another member… I know you might not be happy right now, but I promise I'll make it up to you. Can you use your psychic connection and tell Sebastian that I asked for a Prism Scale… I know it's getting late, but if I have this, we can do something crazy.}
Ralts paused, her eyes narrowed under her blue bangs, but she followed his request without fault. Sebastian simply nodded and headed out to retrieve the item for his young master.
After Feebas was done healing he picked her up and headed towards the gardens and told Feebas, "Feebas this my garden and the lake you see over there is a part of it… you're so beautiful… I know this is a bit selfish, but could you stay here? At the very least I'd like to be your friend."
Feebas just softly blinked its eyes in agreement.
~A few days later~
'Ralts was so fussy… I swear the little girl… I had to cuddle her all night just for her to stop whining in my mind with her telepathy…'
'Am I becoming something terrifying? Genuinely if this is a novel or something… this author has problems… I don't want to be a Pokephile! I'm not P. Diddy!'
'Well whatever even if Ralts becomes a Gardevoir I refuse to give in! Ok maybe Mega- WAIT NO…. Clear your mind, Soutarou!'
'Ignoring all of that nonsense… My progress with Feebas has been great… Thanks to me purposefully isolating that lake and Feebas has become a bit lonely… and it genuinely wants to spend time with me… Today should be the day I can push that last barrier.'
'Thankfully I haven't destroyed that luxury ball… legally speaking she's still my pokemon… This is honestly the most awful and manipulative thing I've ever done… but a Milotic is honestly worth it… the vast range of moves and power it has for how easy it is to evolve… that is if I'm right.'
'There's less than 10 trainers in the world with Milotics and only two of them were caught as Feebas… yep Wallace and Cynthia and they both admitted that they don't know how their Milotic evolved only that it took a long time… So… logically speaking… Milotic would be a great second Pokemon not to mention how ridiculous this one's potential is… Perfect IVs and maxed out potential for a non-legend class pokemon as far as I can tell…'
'In fact, I've checked with the Manor's Pokemon and their pokeballs. All of them fall into the Novice, Rookie, Adept, Ace, Gym Leader, Elite Four, or Sebastian's Dragonite who was at Champion Level. Ralts is Ralts… so this feebas logically speaking is the strongest potential wise after Ralts that I've seen… Forgive me Feebas… I'll help you become the most beautiful pokemon in the world as an apology and make sure the rest of our bond is real. I can tell you've suffered… so I'm really sorry…'
Ralts and Soutarou made their way over to the garden and the lake and a fish almost jumped out of the water and landed right in front of them. Soutarou sighed and said, "Feebas you can't jump out of the water like that or you'll get hurt again!"
Feebas just blinked its eyes and then rolled them.
Soutarou mentally checked his status report for Feebas
[... Affection Level: 195 (Wishes to be by your side)... ]
Ralts simply stayed quiet with its little stubby hands folded over its chest with her orange horn lighting up in a slight blue hue, before calming.
"Feebas I came today to say that I'm going on a Pokemon Trainer Journey! I want to see the world… but the time I've spent with you… made me realize I really want to see it all with you too… So Feebas will you become my Pokemon?"
Feebas' eyes widened and it slowly bobbled itself.
"Feebas… I'm not sure this will work… but if it does you'll become a Milotic… are you willing?"
Feebas' already widened eyes opened further and its pupils dilated. It quickly began bobbling itself up and down using its flippers to further exaggerate the point.
With that Soutarou calmed himself down and opened his hand and pressed the blue-pink scale onto Feebas' purple body. Immediately it glowed in a blinding white light seemingly elongating. From its head grew two pink antae and it grew light blue hair. All the while its now elongated body turned beige and its once white eyes turned a dark gray. While its newly formed tail was coated in beautiful golden patterned scales.
"Miiiiiiiiiuuu~"
Ralts eyes widened and the newly formed Milotic was even more radiant; it immediately slithered out of the water and wrapped itself around Soutarou in glee. Soutarou's eyes narrowed and he grinned toothily, hugging Milotic's large cold and wet scaled body.
'That confirms it… evolutions are different in the real world… in the game I would've had to trade her too… but here I just needed a prism scale… I'm guessing other pokemon need energy or battle bonds or something of the sort to evolve… Well, let's pray for the best and once the patent for the Rotom Dex is secure along with the market supply of Mega Stones and Tera Stones I'll head out on my journey and show Milotic off to the world!'
Soutarou's eyes glinted in determination as he smiled with Milotic, all while Ralt's expression turned somewhat unreadable.
~Sebastian POV~
Watching from afar Sebastian just scratched his chin and narrowed his eyes. He glanced at the Milotic and then at the Ralts. Before turning his attention to a pokeball in his hands, before miniaturizing it and returning it to his inner suit pocket.
Sebastian's eyes glowed in a blue hue,
Sebastian's eyes glinted before he tore away from observing Soutarou and began to contact several people, even contacting his acquaintances in the league, ensuring that Soutarou's file got restricted further.
~Soutarou POV~
'Did something just use a psychic move? What was that feeling?'
Soutarou turns towards Ralts for a moment before transmitting a message, {Did you just use a psychic move, Ralts?}
Ralts who was shaking in anger at Soutarou getting slathered with water and being completely wrapped up in Milotic who was smugly staring at her paused for a moment and replied, {No… Though I did feel a gaze upon us, master. Now tell that damn fish to let go! My master! Only mine! I don't want to share! No more pokemon! Bad master!}
Soutarou had a headache as dozens of mental transmissions bombarded his mind over and over again with vigor. Soutarou then peeled Milotic off of him and told her to wait a moment before he grabbed Ralts and hugged her and began using her to dry himself off basically and he replied, {This is your punishment Ralts! Don't overuse our mental connection. It hurts my head if you overload it. Now get wet hehe~!}
Ralts struggled as Soutarou slowly rubbed against her, "Ra-ralu ral ral LU!"
Ralts began making weird sounds and Soutarou's expression darkened, 'Why do I feel really dirty all of a sudden? I swear I'm not a pokephile! I'm not Poke Diddy (P. Diddy)! My name isn't in those files I swear!'
Soutarou finally took a moment and sighed a deep breath and returned Milotic to its pokeball after telling her that they were headed back inside. As for Ralts, Soutarou just perched her onto his shoulder all while he walked back weird thoughts continued to flood his mind…
'Technically if I evolve Ralts into Gardevoir… and then I become Diddy… just a hypothetical… Would I be a groomer? Because if you think about it I'm only really a few days old in this reincarnation. Wait hold on…'
'What was that old saying? "A true pokemon breeder must breed his pokemon?" Wait where the hell did this quote come from… Nope not that one…Welp I forgot now… All I can think about is that one pokemon game with that shiny mega gardevoir cutscene…'
'Fuck. I'm downbad… Hey Ralts… Don't evolve quickly for me ok? Or the master might do something terrible… damn intrusive thoughts… honestly now that I think about it… Milotic… a Lamia…? What was that anime…? Monster Musume? Truly peak days… watching harem anime… only thing that pissed me off were the protagonists… only that Basura guy from that Sister Devil Testament shit was half decent…'
'What was it that the Chinese used to say? "I'm not a vegetarian, if you give me meat, I'll eat meat." Truly a moto… Here comes my rich guy life, where I won't repeat the same mistakes as those idiots! Ladies… I'm open! Please help me the longer I think about Ralts the worse this is going to get-'
Soutarou paused for a moment, before he noticed something, Ralts' eyes were glowing with psychic energy… Psychic energy that was flowing towards him.
{Ralts. What move did you just use.}
An "eep" escaped from Ralts' mouth and her face turned flushed, she began waving her small stubby white hands in denial and she mentally said, {N-nothing master!~}
Soutarou's eyes narrowed and he questioned mentally, {Really? You didn't happen to say… use hypnosis on me?}
Ralts little head drooped a bit and she said, {I-I… I d-did… but I only increased the thoughts you were innately feeling!}
Soutarou's jaw clenched and he thought, 'I'll never admit that! You won't catch me! Thanks for giving me a damn good excuse. Still polygamy is legal in the pokemon world… which is weird… not to mention… Marriages between pokemon and humans… Damn degenerates!'
Soutarou clenched his fist as he continued towards his room, as he internally declared, 'I'll never be one of those degenerates!'
All while he hopped into his bed and released Milotic who then wrapped around him and Ralts snuggled towards his face. As Soutarou drifted off into his nap time surrounded by his pokemon, a few thoughts rang through his mind…
'Milotic… Gardevoir… such beautiful pokemon… perhaps I'll catch all of the most beautiful pokemon? Well I have to say… for the least part… Milotic truly does live up to its name as "the most beautiful pokemon."'
Smiling, he shook off those thoughts as he closed his eyes and forced himself to take a nap in preparation for the big night ahead…
