Welcome MAGMA the HEATRAN!!!
Thank goodness Magma isn't a snuggler, because the immense heat coming from its body makes it difficult to stand anywhere within 3 feet of it. Magma eats and excretes rocks...very confusing.

LEVEL: 70
Simulation fades away....
"What...?!" I say gasping as the scenery gives way to an all white room. Cynthia approaches me.
"Take a breath and close your eyes." She instructs as I obey. "It will all come back to you quicker now. The veil was weaker this time."
I take a breath. I feel my heart slow as my memories are slowly revealed. I open my eyes to find Cynthia smiling at me. I smile back.
"Great job with the Heatran. That was very much needed." She says slowly approaching me. "You're adjusting much better now."
"It's easier when you're here." I admit. "Can you show me the Dex of the next region I'm running?"
She types something into the device on her wrist and then pulls it off handing it to me. "This will be a first for you." She says looking over my arm as I scroll through the Pokedex. "Luckily, the veil won't have to be as strong as there's less to trigger your memories."
"I see." I say as I continue to scroll. "There was no migration to this region?"
"No, it's very interesting." She replies. "I didn't even know it existed growing up. All the more reason for you to familiarize yourself with it."
I start to pace as I switch the Pokedex to Sinnoh.
"What are you thinking?" Cynthia asks now leaning into me as she matches my pace.
"I'm thinking while I have a couple extra Pokeballs, getting a Pokémon from home with Arena Trap wouldnt be a bad idea." I say looking down at her and pointing at an entry in the Sinnoh Pokedex. "I've never captured one of these."
"But it won't know you." She says stopping in place. "One of the biggest reasons for the simulation is to mimic a journey. You need to bond with your Pokémon outside of this building."
"But I've always wanted to battle with one." I say with a fake pout.
"Really?" She smiles at me with a raised eyebrow. I just smile back as I approach her with my arms out ready for a hug. "Ugh," she laughs succumbing to my shameless flirting. "Catch what you think you need." She smiles as I pick her up in a hug. "If you could just use one of the Balls that'd be great."
"I'll try my hardest." I reply setting her down and fake saluting her. "Start simulation so we don't freak this poor thing out." I shout into the air. "Put me on route 228."
Simulation starts. A few minutes later....
Welcome MEAN GIRLS the DUGTRIO!!!
They were too busy bickering with each other to bother battling with me lol. I've named them individually Regina, Karen, and Gretchen, with Regina being the obvious leader of the group. If they can learn to work together they can be amazing battle partners for Red.
NATURE: Jolly
ABILITY: Arena Trap
LEVEL: 23
The simulation ends....
"That's it?" Cynthia smiles with a raised eye brow. "You're not going to train with them at all?"
"Explain the situation to them and have them train with Red." I smile back, tossing Cynthia the Mean Girl's Pokeball. "They are the most intelligent creatures in the Pokémon Universe. They'll understand."
"That is true." Cynthia says clipping the Pokeball to her belt. "You know." She gives me a coy smile. "You don't have to....."
**BOOM**
The entire room quakes viciously knocking us all to the floor. Tiles fall from the ceiling. The steel in the room squeals trying to hold its form.
"What's happening?!" I yell.
"Kimbo's team confirmed we've been found!!!" Rowan shouts, trying to keep his balance as he runs into the room. "Get ready for a rough jump people!!"
"Will someone tell me what's happening?!" I shout again, staggering as I stand to my feet.
"How close are we to operation White?" Rowan shouts to Cynthia.
"It's done!" She replies falling into me. "We already started two others this morning!!"
"I'm behind?" I try to yell over the sound of tiles breaking and metal stretching. "Can we skip it? Go right to...?"
"No!" Cynthia yells holding onto me. "This is about life and death, and we can't conquer those until we have the truth! Until we have..."
***BOOM***
Another Quake, larger than the last, shakes the room.
Rowan stands and points at me shouting, "If we don't make it, this is on you!! Your little hospital visit cost us a lot of..."
"He almost died!!" Cynthia interjects.
"Stop, just get it started!!" I yell walking away from Cynthia and Rowan. "Thank you Beautiful." I shout to Cynthia. "Have Red and Ronin look after the others for me..."
"Of course." She replies backing away.
"Clear the room!" A voice comes over the speakers.
"Cynthia!" I yell again as she's pulled into a room.
"Yes?!" I hear her reply.
"Starting operation white in 3, 2, 1..."
"I love you too." I exhale with a smile.
