PP SYS Ch 60: Gifts To Soften The Heart

"Yeah, that is no doubt going to get you called a freak, and people are going to be more concerned with checking out the Pokémon than paying attention to the fight. I saw you battle against the girls, but that is not how normal trainers at your level fight. They have to guide and tell their Pokémon in the battles. The unspoken way that you and the girls do it is something that should come with much experience, like the girls have, but you do not. It is that creature in your head, Cryo, that is helping you, but there are records of your first encounter with Cosmog and the way that you two bonded. With that, I can't say that everything that you do is the result of it, but your knowledge and mannerisms are. I really wonder how much of the person that we are talking to is really you, and how much is the so-called Pokémon in your head," Lusamine said, but then gasped as Cryo appeared before her with his blue body and six white wings.

"I do not control any part of Landon, nor can I force him to do anything. What I have done for the last ten years is feed his mind information about everything that I know or that would be relevant. I am constantly adding new things so that he never has to wonder about what something is, but it is a lot of work. I am designed to help Landon make the best choices so that we can get to Ultramex to free him. The only way that this can happen is if he chooses to do so himself," Cryo explained, and Lusamine frowned.

"That seems very inefficient. Why would this Ultramex be so patient? A better question is why did he create this place, and how?" Lusamine asked while pushing her hair out of her face. The hair seemed to be cut at the perfect angles and defy gravity with the way it always caped around her.

"Ultramex created this realm because he wanted to create a safe haven for people and Pokémon to learn to live together like they did so very long ago. He wanted to create a utopia where people and Pokémon could coexist peacefully, and as Landon brings more people and Pokémon in, the Bond between them deepens. I was created to help him with this task, but Ultramex knows that this will take a long time and much work on Landon's part. He is willing to be patient and let Landon learn and grow as he chooses," Cryo said, and I nodded as Joy brought an omelet to Lusamine.

She took her plate from Joy, stared at it for a moment, took a bite, and swallowed before speaking again.

"That is all fine, but I still do not understand why Ultramex created you. You can give information and help Landon, but what do you get out of this?" she asked, and Cryo sighed softly as he started to fade away.

"It is difficult to explain, even with my abilities, but what I gain from helping Landon is the same thing that he gains. A sense of purpose, a feeling of accomplishment, and the joy of seeing others learn and grow in the world that we create together." Cryo said softly before he disappeared from view.

I leaned back in my chair, smiling as I took it all in and thought about the possibilities of our journey together. Lusamine seemed to be in deep thought as she ate her omelet, and Joy kissed me on the forehead as she walked by, and then came to take the chair between us.

"So, what are your plans now?" Joy asked as she set her own omelet down, and I looked over at Lusamine who seemed to be thinking about the same thing.

"First, I am going to check on Ralts and Hatenna. Then I want to try and find some materials or rare items to make money so that I can buy something for Lusamine and you. This morning I will drop you two off with Jolene and grab the girls to start training for battle so that I am prepared for when I face other trainers. After that, we will just have to see how things progress, but we need to take it one step at a time." I said and smiled as both Joy and Lusamine nodded in agreement.

"Sounds like a plan. I'm sure that you can make this work," Joy said, and I leaned over and kissed Joy.

"Yeah, I am going to get going now. You can come out when we get to Tallia and Jolene's place," I said, and both women nodded as I closed my eyes and then opened them to a soft-colored flower garden that had a girl in the center of it that was sleeping.

I walked over to Hatenna and looked down at the cute girl that was curled up with a big sleeping hat that she used to wrap around her body along with her long hair. For the most part, Hatenna looked more human than most of the girls, but it looked like her hat was part of her head that almost seemed to have grown into the soft blue hair on the back of her head.

Kneeling down, I was about to stroke her hair, but the Poke-Girl turned her face up at me.

"You are my Master? I am so excited to meet you," Hatenna said in a very sleepy voice as she got up and hugged me, her little breast poking out of her hair and into me.

"Yes, I am Landon, your Master. How are you?" I asked as she stepped away from me and yawned.

"I am doing alright, just a little tired. You seem to have been busy, my Master," she said with a small smile. I nodded, and then told her about my time with Joy and Lusamine.

"So, do you think that you want to be a fighting Pokémon, or do you just want to stay in this world? You can go visit other places if you want, and you can go see the Ralts if you want as well," I said, and the Hatenna yawned again, making me yawn with her, and then she shook her head.
