Paradise Pokeball System

Vol. 2 Chapter 71: I Am Not A Pokémon

Lusamine walked slightly behind as Anabel took the lead. Neither of them had heard any of the common Landon and Iono had caused because Iono had used her Magnemite camera's to also block the sound they made.

"What do you think of Landon?" Anabel asked after they had been looking around the area for a while without speaking.

Lusamine didn't say anything for a while to the point where Anabel didn't think she was going to say anything. This was a sore subject for Lusamine that had only finally just been mended. She also knew that the woman was trying to work some angle against Landon, but what it was, Lusamine didn't know yet.

"I like him. While I have a hard time coming to terms with some things, I will not deny that I don't love him. I have also gained abilities that no other human, or many Pokémon could match. I have a beautiful home, and I get to study the Pokémon he catches. Things were slow at first, and I really wasn't sure if I was going to be able to accept everything, much less like it."

Anabel frowned, but didn't say anything as Lusamine stopped and looked around. "Do you hear something?"

"I am not a Pokémon."

"Not completely," Anabel said, but she wasn't trying to be mean. "You said it yourself that you have abilities no other human could match. If you are like Landon, then you are at least part Pokémon, and I am not. I just assumed that you heard something since I did not."

Lusamine wanted to roll her eyes, but the creatures she had noticed seemed to have noticed them, and were heading this way fast.

"There is something coming, but they are moving fast," Lusamine said, and pulled out her phone, dialing Nemona's number. The phone barely rang, and Nemona picked up.

"Already on our way! Just keep them tied down, and we will deal with them!~Click~"

Lusamine sighed, returning her phone to her inventory; another bonus to joining Landon she enjoyed. She then closed her eyes and activated her Wind Fairy Garden Skin.

Anabel stepped back in shock as green leaves burst up and around Lusamine, covering her entire body. As soon as all the leaves met at the top, they opened up to reveal Lusamine again, but she was in a green fairy dress, and her hair had turned green as well. She also had a pair of wings that were translucent pink and glowing, giving her a mystical appearance.

"What happened?" Anabel asked, and Lusamine looked down at her, and then smiled.

"This is the result of what you call becoming a Pokémon. Stay behind me."

In the next moment, three raptor-like Pokémon with red bodies and a thick teal stripe that ran from their head to the tips of their long tails. Anabel didn't hesitate, and got behind Lusamine, pulling out a poke ball.

"Don't send your Pokémon out here. I think these Pokémon could seriously hurt them," Lusamine warned as the Pokémon circled them.

"These creatures kind of look like the Pokémon, Archeops, but without feathers. Are you sure that you can handle three of them at once?"

"I will try. Just stay back, and stay safe," Lusamine ordered, and then lifted higher in the air.

Anabel wasn't happy, but she knew that if she got in the way, she would likely only make things worse.

Seeing Lusamine lift in the air, the Pokémon all rushed at Anabel. The moment they did, vines shot up from the ground, grabbing the feet of the five foot tall creatures. The one in the center roared, and then slashed at the vines.

One of the two vines holding him snapped, and he turned to charge at Lusamine, who just flew higher into the air. He then turned, and charged at Anabel, who was now backing up slowly, and pulled out her Pokédex as another vine tripped the Pokémon.

"Archeops, the Oldest Pokémon. These Pokémon lived in groups during ancient times, and were highly intelligent. They were known for being a violent and fierce species."

"This creature is what the Archeops originally looked like? No wonder the Pokédex can't identify them. There isn't much information on the internet about these creatures. In fact, there is almost no information about them," Anabel commented, and then turned to Lusamine. "What should I do?"

"Stay safe, and I will be right back," Lusamine said, and then took off, and started to fly around the clearing, making the gale of wind that forced the creatures to the ground so more vines could come up and grab them.

Anabel wasn't sure if Lusamine could control the plants or not, but the timing was perfect. Once all three were restrained, Lusamine flew back over to Anabel, and landed.

"We don't have much time, so we need to move. There is something else much bigger coming this way now, and my vines won't be able to hold them for very long," Lusamine explained, but then her form glowed briefly before shattering, leaving her with blonde hair and the same clothes as before, but she looked tired. "Sorry, I am still getting used to using this power, and it takes a lot to use it outside of Prisma."

Anabel nodded, and took her by the arm to help her. "Where are we going?"

Lusamine pointed into the tall grass. "This is the direction that Nemona and Grusha are coming from. All we have to do is meet up with the girls, and everything will be fine. Both of them are training and battle junkies, and are much stronger than me."

Anabel wasn't sure, and wanted to tell her not to push herself, but a loud roar could be heard, and Lusamine pointed. "That way, go. I can't hold the creature that is coming off."

Anabel didn't argue, and pulled her along as they raced as fast as they could. The sound of a massive creature running through the forest was terrifying, and Anabel wasn't sure if they would be able to escape, or if the creature would be able to catch them.

A few moments later, a massive dinosaur with red and orange armor and spikes around the back of its neck and head appeared behind them. It had a red body, and both girls knew what it was, but neither of them expected it to be as big as it was. The Tyrantrum was over three times as big as the one that had entered the jail area through the Ultra Wormhole, but Anabel didn't think it would fit even if it tried.

"Lusamine, is there any way you can hold it back?"

"No, I need to eat more, but even then, I would only make it mad! We have to keep moving!"

Anabel nodded, feeling fear fill her body, but pushed to keep moving. "Why isn't Landon here?!"

"Because we don't need him. Just keep moving."

"Okay," Anabel said in an unsure voice, and then started to move faster. She was starting to think that she should have stayed behind and left this all to Landon.

Lusamine wasn't sure how far she would be able to push herself, and her body was already screaming for her to stop. Her energy was low, and she didn't have meal bars on her. If the girls didn't hurry up, Landon might actually have to come and save them, but she didn't want that. Even though Lusamine wasn't as strong as the other girls, she wasn't going to be reduced to calling for help every time there was a tough situation. She knew that the Endbringers were coming, and Landon would need all them to get stronger. She wanted him to rely on her, and the last thing she wanted was to be a burden, or for him to worry about her.

"There!"

"Where?" Lusamine asked, looking around.

Anabel pointed, and Lusamine could see Nemona riding piggyback on Grusha while the blue haired woman breathed out a path of ice that she rode on a snowboard made out of ice.

"Look at the size of that thing!" Nemona shouted, and then hopped off Grusha's back.

As she did, her body burst into flames, leaving a coating over her entire body that looked like the distant night sky with twelve glowing orbs orbiting around her body. She shot into the air, and then waited as the massive still headed towards Grusha and the other two girls.

"What are you waiting for? Why did she fly in the air?" Anabel asked, still scared as the massive Pokémon got closer.

Grusha turned with a serious look and clenched her blue mitts. "Grusha, Grusha Grusha!"

Lusamine slapped a hand to her face, and Anabel tipped her head at the blue haired woman in a bodysuit. "She gets like this whenever we fight."

Grusha didn't say anything, and turned back to the oncoming Pokémon, but now the other three that had been pinned down had also caught up now. Once they were fifty feet away, Grusha slapped her hands down on the ground, and then the earth around them all started to shake. The Pokémon rushing forward suddenly stopped as a massive wall of ice shot up around them to create a 100 foot wide wall that ringed and closed off the area.

"Umm, are we supposed to be on the same side of the wall as the vicious Pokémon? Aren't we trying to get away?" Anabel asked, but then Grusha started to glow, and her body suit shattered off her body to reveal a white tank top and jean shorts.

"My job is done," Grusha said, and sank to the ground with a sigh.

"What do you mean?! We are now trapped inside with the Pokémon we were running from!" Anabel exclaimed, but then there was a bright light coming from above, forcing her to look up.

"It's always go time!" Nemona shouted, and flew to the ground.

At the same time, a massive Pokémon Stadium appeared from thin air around her, also falling to the ground. To Anabel, it looked like it was going to crush them all.

"What is she doing? She is going to kill us all!" Anabel shouted, but Lusamine didn't look worried, and even the Grusha didn't look bothered by the massive structure heading straight for them.

"We aren't going to die. This is just Nemona's ability," Lusamine said, and Anabel screamed as the building crushed them.
