Today's Pokemon is...

The Generator Pokemon, #695, Heliolisk!

Sorry for not writing new stories lately, I've been working on a SUPER SECRET project. Once I finish that then I'll be able to work on these more. I already have ideas for some of them too.

Spoiler:

Jalal groaned as his mind began to return to clarity. He raised his hand to his forehead and opened his eyes. His surroundings were fussy, he couldn't make out much. Where was he? There was a lot of green. Was he in a forest?

"Ahh, so you've finally decided to awaken. I was worried you'd soon depart from the land of the living." Jalal's vision started to focus as he sat up a little. He looked around, trying to locate the source of the voice, but all he could see was a Noctowl. Who had spoken to him?

"Well it seems I've finally gone crazy. I'm hearing voices," Jalal mumbled to himself. He sat all the way up and crossed his legs. Jalal shivered in the breeze and started to observe his surroundings when he looked back down at his legs. Last he had checked they hadn't been thin and yellow with black feet. Was this a dream? It had to be a dream. Or he really was losing it.

"You seem confused, young one. It's natural. You've been unconscious for several days after falling out of the sky. I can assure you though, you are not hearing voices." Jalal looked up as the Noctowl walked up next to him. "Now, let's see what all you can remember. What's your name?" Jalal stared wide eyed at the Noctowl.

"There's a Noctowl talking to me. They can't do that. Pokemon can't talk. I really am going crazy." The Noctowl watch Jalal carefully for a moment before smiling.

"Let me guess, you're a human aren't you?" Jalal's shocked expression said it all. "No need to be surprised. I've meant another human who was a similar case. Allow me to inform you that where you are currently has no humans, only Pokemon. The only way for humans to enter is to become Pokemon. It is a sanctuary for us, if you will. Why you have been sent here, I do not know. But just know, humans are regarded as deities here, so unless you want to attract attention to yourself, I suggest acting like a normal Heliolisk." Jalal blinked a few times before looking down at his hands.

Everything suddenly came flooding back. That's right! He was on he run with Dylan and Celesteela! And that girl's… whatever Pokemon it was had teleported them to safety. So how had he ended up here? And where was Dylan? Jalal put a hand to his head. This was a lot to take in but with everything that had happened in the past few days he wasn't that surprised by it. Why not? It was much easier to get a roll on things if you just accepted them and then move past it.

Jalal stood up and looked over himself. Okay, so he was a heliolisk. Good, it was a Pokémon he was semi-familiar with. So, then, he needed to make a plan. Maybe this Noctowl could help. He turned and extended his hand.

"Sorry, you understand this is a bit much to take in right away. But I think I'm okay for now. My name's Jalal. You said you found me here after falling from the sky a few days ago? Do you know how to get back?" The Noctowl observed Jalal, his expression unreadable as he thought over his response carefully.

"They call me Nameless Noctowl. I am the guardian of this forest and the treasure within it along with my son, Mono." At the name drop, a grovyle slowly moved into view from behind the buses where he had blended in. Mono watched Jalal curiously with a glint of suspicion in his eyes as Nameless Noctowl continued. "We found you unconscious on the ground not too far from the forest. It is not the first time this has happened, so we knew exactly the circumstances of your situation. However, humans have not arrived in many years, not since the war. As a result, I highly suggest lying low for now. I can take you to a pokemon that may be able to help you, but he is the only other one to know of your true identity, understand?” Jalal nodded quickly. Nameless Noctowl looked to his son and gestured with his wing. “Take Jalal to town, I will remain to guard the Time Gear.” Mono nodded and stepped forward, gesturing for Jalal to follow him. Jalal ran after him as quickly as possible, still adjusting to this body, but starting to get used to it.

“So you’re a human,” Mono started as they walked through the forest.

“Yes, I am. I was a secret agent during my time as a human,” Jalal replied, seeing no harm in divulging this information. Mono glanced at him, his yellow eyes following Jalal’s every movement.

“My my, quite accomplished, I presume. Knowing this is quite amusing, see how much grace you lack right now just by walking. I hope you manage to learn by the time we reach town.” Jalal growled in annoyance and was about to respond when an armaldo burst through the trees. Mono reacted immediately, extending the leaves on his arms into blades. “Run, Jalal! I’ll distract it! Head straight and you’ll run into a town. Ask around for Detective Knash! He can help you!” Mono charged at the Armaldo and slashed across its face with a leaf blade. Jalal didn’t wait for any further explanation and took off in as best of a run as he could. Having a tail did not make it easy for him to balance, so Jalal stumbled around a lot as he ran, but he finally managed to break out of the forest. He could hear the distinct buzzing of beedrill behind him and decided now was not a good time to stop.

Jalal sprinted down the woodland path leading to town before tripping on his own tail and tumbling down the hillside. He finally stopped at the bottom of the hill, and sighed in relief, only for the buzzing to grown louder. Well now was the time to run. Jalal pushed himself up and started his race up again. It wasn’t long when he entered the town, beedrill in hot pursuit.

“Watch out!” someone shouted. Jalal saw a rattata in a black trenchcoat racing towards him. The rattata ducked and burst into flames, striking the pursuing beedrill with flame wheel. Jalal sighed with an even heavier relief and approached the rattata.

“Thank you,” he said, “I greatly appreciate your help.” The rattata brushed himself off and eyed Jalal curiously.

“You are very welcome, though I don’t doubt you could have handled them yourself if you had chosen to engage them. Still, I am always here to help a pokemon in need.” He paused then extended his paw. “My name is Detective Knash, pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Jalal couldn’t believe his luck. It was finally starting to turn around! This was the guy they had told him to meet after all. Jalal extended his reptilian hand and shook Detective Knash’s paw.

“The pleasure is all mine. My name is Jalal. I have been sent to seek you out per the orders of Nameless Noctowl.” Detective Knash’s eyes widened and he quickly motioned for Jalal to follow him.

“I see. This explains a lot. Please, follow me, there’s much we have to discuss.”
