This information caught me off guard as I had assumed that I had appeared in this world before the events of the games due to the fact May didn't have a pokemon. But I had totally ighe protagonist of the Hoenn region games somehow. This was a rather rge ht on my part a me cursing myself for it. 'There is no telling if the events of the games will py out the same way as in them as there are a great many differences betweey and the games.' I thought seriously.-

  "Norman?" I asked pying ignorant to the name. "Ah! I fot that isn't publiowledge just yet , sorry about that!" Birch said with apologetically. "It's fi who is this Norman persoly and what's this about him being a new gym leader?" I asked while ag fused. "From the information I have he's a normal type elite tier trainer from Johto , quite a rare binatio me tell you. Anyway he was offered the gym leader position ialburg due to the rarity of normal type specialist and the fact that the old gym leader Tysoly passed away without any designated rept."-

  "It caused a terrible stir in the league what with the season fast approag and so they found the best fit for the normal type gym which was Norman , the rest you should be able to guess." Birch expined happily. "So he chose to ship his family over to Hoenn to be closer to him huh? Why Littleroot though , wouldn't Petalburg be better?" I asked genuinely fused. I had never uood why the mans family was two whole cities away from him rather than in the same city. It certainly wasn't because of building issues as thanks to pokemon it barely took two days to fully build a funal two story house in this world.-

  And it definitely wasn't because he cked the means to obtain the nd or funds to build the house iy either. What a joke gym leaders were paid extremely handsomely for their work AND were ranked higher goverally speaking thahe city mayor. "Apparently he didn't like how Petalburg was in a spot that saw a lot of pollution from Mt. ey and wanted his family far from it." Birch said with a shrug.-

  "I suppose I see that but why not Oldale or Rustboro then? They are closer and don't get much pollution from the volo from what I know." I pointed out and Birch shook his head "I don't kher , we ask after they move in though." he said casually. "Speaking of his family , got any information on them?" I asked finally getting to the part I really wao know. Norman might be a gym leader and all that but the events from the game involving the two terrorist anizations had nothing to do with him and minus getting a badge aing Wally he could be totally ighe entire game.-

  It made sehat he might be more involved in the world other than that iy but I couldn't bring myself to care about him otherwise at the moment. His son or daughter though very muterested me as the entire game revolved around them. "Well from what I know his wife is a civilian without any training background while his son is a year youhan my daughter at eighteen and just got out of school. Other than that I know very little oher of them." Birch said with a shrug.-

  'A bit older than in the game but sidering the differences betweey and the games that's still pretty young.' I thought to myself as we traveled. After that I put the matter in the bay mind since being distracted while in the wilderness is a good way to get attacked. While I have no idea why exactly it happens but unlike when they are hunting other pokemoors will inform people of their impending attack for some reason. I was kinda suspicious that it was some sort of legendary fuckery though.-

  Like I would o be fug blind not to notice that humahe single most privileged species in this entire world a seemed oblivious to the fact. We got stronger and lived longer by bonding with and training pokemon. We could develop abilities just like pokemon if we are lucky areated differently by literally every pokemon species on the p , seems like some divine level shit in my opinion. After walking for a couple hours and having Sly deal with most of the more stupid ressive pokemon we finally made it he mountain.-

  The tribe of Treecko was clearly familiar with Birch as they happily and eagerly greeted him after roached. I noticed a familiar member of the group though at the back with a smaller body and a dark patch of skin on it arm. I checked it's stats and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at what I found. Not only was it level twelve which was the highest amongst the Treecko but it also had all five of its moves at journeyman , leer , pound , absorb , quick attad magical leaf. 'I 't wait to see May's jaw hit the floor.' I thought with a chuckle before winking at the small thing.-

  Clearly this startled and fused the pokemon if the look on it's face was anything to go by. That look was soon shared by the eribe however when Birch specifically picked it out as the member ing with him. I noticed that the leader of the tribe that was a level thirty seven Grovyle looked rather relut to allow the little oo leave. 'Looks like someone else noticed the hard w nature of the runt.' I thought with a smirk. The leader noticed my expression and a look of uanding crossed it's eyes before it merely nodded slightly and chose to turn away from Birches colle.-

  I wasn't surprised about it's rea since I had both a pseudo legendary and an actual legendary with me. Each of which was more powerful than it so if I thought the tiny one would do better under a traihan who was it tue? The runt also seemed to uand the part I had to py in this matter and shot me a plicated look as it allowed itself to be captured. Birch didn't imprint the ball however since he was going to be giving it to May as her starter.-

  After that he chose the best looking Treecko for the league requirement and bid farewell to the tribe. "While we are here I'd like to take a look at that cave you lived in if it's not too much trouble." Birch said as we left the tribes area. I shrugged "I don't mind." I said holy before leading the way. It had only been a bit uwo weeks since I was there so very little had ged. I did notice that a familiar pokemon had taken up residen the cave though when we arrived.
