Chapter 63 - Daily Life before the storm

Unlike the first time Jay and Freya left the first fort, this time there was no more cliche events after Freya displayed her dominance. Well Jay will simply deal with the problems as they come as he did not like to standing out intentionally, Route 2 unlike Route two was a complete forestry. There was only a pathway made wide enough for two people to walk side by side which led to Striaton Fort, but today Jay and Freya decided to camp in the forest so he could have his pokemon out to train.

He called out all of his pokemons and gave them their respective trainings to complete, his old pokemons were already used to the training that Jay provided them with because right now what they needed was to Rank up their strength and some of them went off to face again different Lord tier pokemons to use the pressure to rank up.

Today Jay was going to focus on training Riolu and Zorua, he had Zorua transform into a smaller version of it's evolved form so he could start teaching these two close combat skills to use when facing off against human trainers and pokemons, Riolu was quite talented thanks to his type he learnt the close combat technique faster but Zorua took a bit longer but because of her competitive nature of not wanting to lose to Riolu who is a new team member like her (AN: Meaning new official team member).

Freya on the other hand was already talking with her Eevee about her dėsɨrė to challenge pokemon contests and Eevee was quite excited to participate when she heard she could play around in front of many people. This little glutton was a real attention seeker pokemon which fitted with Freya's personality of loving cute pokemons, Jay had taught eevee the fairy wind move in hopes to have it evolve into a Sylveon but that will be remain to be seen.

Jay: "Okay Riolu, Zorua I want the two of you continue to spar with one another, don't mind the injures just don't kill each other and I will be able to patch you up"

The two of them gave their respective cries before heading into the forest, Jay was fine with his pokemons going out on their own as he had mew who was in his hair scanning the surroundings and she could teleport the pokemons back if they get hurt or is in danger.

Freya: "You making food today?"

Jay: "Ah yes, I will grill some meat for dinner can I leave the Salad to you?"

Freya: "Sure"

Jay popped his capsule and his house appeared in a small opening big enough for it to fit in perfectly, so Freya went inside with her eevee to prepare the salad, while Jay was gathering dried wood to start a fire. He stacked a few rocks around the fire to the height of 30cm. When the fire was strong enough that it will not die out Jay placed in larger chopped wood inside to act as charcoal, thanks to that he had enough time to spare for training.

Ddraig: [Partner you should already been able to activate your Balance breaker]

Albion: [Seems you require a emotional shock as well like our previous predecessors]

Jay: "Ah that is not it, I honestly just did not try activating it, I feel I can but at the same time I feel my body needs to be a bit stronger because the first activation seems it will be a combination of both of you."

Albion: [How you got that information?]

Jay: "It's honestly a gut feeling because like you previously said I am the first to have the both of you in one body so I came up with this theory, and if it is true I will only be able to handle the activation when my body is at Beginner Commander Rank strength according to Pokemon standards"

Jay: "Yeah, if I can't activate it before I reach Nuvema Fort, then I will use the First of the three sword trio's pressure to help me reach it instead"

Ddraig: [So it is only a matter of time huh?]

Jay: "Yeah"

Jay was currently doing push ups while under the effects of gravity magic, when he heard the crackle sounds of the wood he stopped his training and saw the preparation was complete so he placed on a wired tray over the fire on the rocks high enough for the meat he was placing on top not to get burnt. He threw on some spices and left it for the heat of the burnt wood to start doing their work.

So Jay continued his training and stopped every five minutes to turn the meat until it was done.

Freya: "Jay salad is complete"

Jay: "The meat is just about ready as well... Let me call my pokemons"

Jay had mew teleport all of his pokemons back in front of him, they were already told of this so they were not shocked to sudden change sceneries but Jay could feel some of them managed to increase their strength more noticeably compared to the others. Since today will be their last relaxing day they will have since from tomorrow Jay will have to start investigating the crimes in the city and challenge the gym.

Jay: "Oh! You used a new mixture sauce for the salad!?"

Jay: "It's quite delicious!"

Freya: "Fufu, your meat rod is tasty too"

Jay: "PFFFFFTTT"

Jay would who just took a sip of his drink spit everything out towards his left side left completely stunned at the giggling Freya.

Jay: "*cough cough* It's good to know" [This is totally unexpected]

The two of them enjoyed their dinner together with their pokemons before heading off to bed but tonight Jay was invited to sleep together with Freya, and it was unfortunately only to sleep together. But at least there was progress.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next morning after getting washed, dressed and the lot, Jay and Freya continued their journey through the forest while battling some minor pokemons for Jay to fill up his PokeWorld in the mean time. When they exit the forest route what welcomed them were blood stained metal walls surrounding the city, in front of the large Gate were four men wearing armored outfits with the Police symbol which the Jenny Family Household were running.

Gate Keeper: "Hold it, state your purpose of visiting and Identity"

Freya: "Freya, I am together with Jay Silver"

Jay and Freya handed their trainer card over to the Gate keeper while introducing themselves, the gatekeeper had another one scan the cards to see if their legit and they passed through the initial inspections and was led inside.

When the two of them entered what welcomed them was a city that would looked like it was abandoned if it wasn't for the people walking up and down, most of the buildings were no longer maintained and some were even left abandoned. There were a lot of people in ragged clothes sitting on the ground against building walls like homeless people, the armor and outfits of trainer who were walking up and down had seen better days.

It was only now Jay came to realize how bad the situation was, the only building that Jay saw that was well maintained was the Pokemon Centre that was managed by the Joy Family household. There were occasional fights in the alley ways, and drunk trainers trying to molest woman who were alone. Jay was currently releasing his dragon aura to keep people with ill-intention away from him.

Jay took out the quest paper he had for this town to confirm where he had to go to:

[Quest: Investigate murders

Location: Striaton City

Description:

Photos of victims available at Guild.

Require more details please contact the contact person below:

Claire, Striaton City staff of the League

Number : $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Reward: 20,000]

Jay dialed the number on his pokenav and waited as it was ringing.

Claire: "Claire Speaking who is this?"

Jay: "The name is Jay Silver, I have accepted the request and wish to know where we can meet?"

Claire: "We can meet tomorrow night at the pokemon Centre"

Jay cuts off the call looking at Freya, he hands over Gallade's Pokeball which was still connected to his PokeWorld but with this she can call him out to protect her.

Freya: "When?"

Jay: "Tomorrow night, I will in the meantime visit the victim families to gather information myself and compare it with hers"

Freya: "Should I go to the Pokemon Centre and get us a room?"

Jay: "Please do, I have secured business with the Joy Families so they promised us free services and rooms to stay in which will be much safer for us"

Jay escorted Freya to the Pokemon Centre that had quite a few Lord Tier Trainers (AN: Lord Tier Trainer means it has at least 1 Lord Rank Pokemon), so he could leave her here with Gallade protecting her as he went off to meet these families...
