H O M E C O M I N G Part 1 Sinnoh Region (シンオウ地方) Solaceon Town (ズイタウン)After getting dropped off at the town bus station in Solaceon, Dallas took a deep breath, adjusted his bag, and simply began walking. He didn't really do much on his old stomping ground. Before he made his way back to the daycare, he stopped by the Pokemon Center to heal up his Pokemon. It was pretty empty and tame, but that's normal. Nurse Joy looked up from her magazine to greet him. "Oh! Dallas, you're back from the Academy! How are--" she paused, taking notice to how exhausted he looked. She could see the bags under his eyes from behind the counter. "Yikes. What happened to you?" Dallas sloppily placed his hand on his face and groaned. What hasn't happened to him at this point? He took out Charizard's ball from under his scarf and the rest from out of his pocket. "I just wanna sleep for 12 years, Joy." Dallas said as he put his head down on the counter. "Have you gone home yet?" she asked as she collected them up, placing them on a tray. "Nope." Dallas muffled. "And you came straight here first to get your Pokemon all healed up? My, my, Dallas how you've grown." she said as she placed them on the healing machine. Dallas groaned and sunk deeper onto the counter. She had a soft smile as she hit the button for a 'Full Healing'. Dallas quickly popped up to remind Joy of something. "Oh, Joy? Can you take a closer look at Charizard please? It... went through a really tough battle... please." he said as he placed his head back on the counter. Nurse Joy looked back and then the healing machine as it scanned his Pokemon. "Sure darlin'. Chansey, would you be a dear and go get Dallas a Lemonade?" "Yeet yeet!" Chansey squealed, running to the kitchen in the center. Nurse Joy took Charizard's ball to the back after the healing process to give it a further inspection. As he was left alone he pulled himself up off the counter to go over to the video phones, dialing up his home number.
. . . . . . . .
"Hello? OH! Dallas m'boy! You're calling from Solaceon's Pokemon Center which means you're HOME!! Oh my boy's returned, I can't wait to hear about your Academy stories! And you'll be thrilled to see that Pokemon of your's you left in our care." Russell loved to talk on the phone. He paused to actually look at Dallas up and down through the video screen. "Oh? You don't look so good, son. Everything alright? You should get home as soon as you can." Dallas rubbed his eyes and was finally able to get a word in. "Uh, yeah, yeah. I'm coming home soon, I just had... *yaAaahhwNnnh* ...to drop by the Pokemon Center real quick. I should be home in like... uh..." Dallas began to slow down, counting his fingers. His dad stared curiously before his mother came on the line, eating a bag of chips. "DALLAS? THAT YOU?" Johanna moved Russell to the side. "You're in Solaceon?? Why didn't you tell us you were coming ho-- wait... It's too early for you to be on some kind of break, did you escape from that school? Boy, I will drag you back up there myself if I have t-" Dallas had to cut her off before she continued. "MA, hold on, it ain't like that." Dallas took a deep breath, looking down and then looking back up to the screen. That's when Johanna took notice of his demeanor. "I see..." she said, lowering her guard. "You can tell us about it in person when you get here hon. I got dinner already cookin' so you'll have somethin't'eat when ya get here." Dallas gave a feint smile and a nod. He definitely needed a home cooked meal after being away for so long. After talking a bit more on the phone, Chansey came out with the lemonade. Dallas figured it was time to wrap up the call, so he said his goodbyes and hung up. "Thanks Chansey." he said, popping off the cap. "Yeet yeet!" Chansey ran back to work. As he was walking away from the phone, the TV caught his attention as it went to a special broadcast. Dallas' eyes widened but before he had time to properly react, Nurse Joy walked out with the results of Charizard's inspection. Dallas turned from the screen to Nurse Joy and made his way over to the desk. "So? Is he okay? Is everything alright?" Dallas asked in a worried tone. He gripped his scarf and tried to keep his composure. Nurse Joy poked out her lips and twisted her mouth a bit before speaking. "Well... poor thing's exhausted to all hell, but it looks like it's been getting some rest." She put Charizard's ball on a tray with the others and continued to speak. "It's good that you gave it some rest after whatever it was you seemed to have put it through, which I guess explains... why you look like that." she gestured to the scratches on his clothes and his tired appearance and continued once more. "--But! No need to worry hon, your Charizard'll be fine. It just needs more rest, I'd say about a week. Then it can go back to battling and all that good stuff." she finished with a smile. Dallas was relieved and almost teared up as he grabbed the rest of his Poke Balls off the tray. "Yup, yup, cheer up sunshine, it'll be fine. Now go on home, I'm sure your folks are waiting for you. Clean yourself up, eat a good meal and take a breather! I hope to see you again soon!" One weight out of many was lifted for Dallas. He took a deep breath, grabbed his bag and headed out the door. "Thanks Nurse Joy!" his voice sounded a bit better. Now it was time for him to return home.

H O M E C O M I N G Part 2 Sinnoh Region (シンオウ地方) Solaceon Town (ズイタウン)As he was walking down the road, nearing up on his house, Dallas clutched his scarf. He was happy his Charizard was okay but he couldn't get the images of dead students out of his head. How do you move on from that? Was there even a way to do so? He clenched his fists and began progressively breathing harder and harder. He didn't know what was going on. His hands were shaking. He tried his best to reach for the fence right next to him, missing it a few times before he grabbed it. He stumbled to the ground, clutching his scarf even harder. "Wh-what is thi ..." Tears began flowing out. He was breathing even harder and couldn't control it. "HE-HELP. PLEASE." He screamed out, but no one was around. Dallas was having a panic attack. He began crying and clutched his scarf as tight as his body would allow him. As he did so, the ball he was keeping under it slipped out, enlarging itself on the ground almost immediately. A blue light bursted out, revealing his Charizard who tilted its head, confused at what was going on with Dallas. Charizard began whining, lowering its head to Dallas' who looked up to Charizard with tears in his eyes and a panicked wide-eyed expression. "I'm s-s-" Dallas couldn't get his words out. He took his trembling hand and tried to caress Charizard's head who continued to whine. Charizard lifted it's head up and roared loudly. So sudden and loud enough to cause Dallas to flinch, which toned down his breathing. He looked up to Charizard who was looking back to him with a look in it's eyes that looked as if it were saying 'It's not your fault'. Dallas took his time, dusting himself off and leaning up against the fence. His breathing soon returned back to normal. He looked up to his Charizard and then shamingly looked to the side. "What the fuck was that." Dallas stumbled to get up, only for his Charizard to help lift him up. Dallas dusted himself off and rolled his eyes. "...I'm sorry you had to see that." Dallas then leaned on Charizard who then leaned on Dallas and simply blew air out it's nose. After a nice moment of bonding, Dallas returned Charizard to it's ball and continued his walk home.
. . . . . . . .
He stepped on the porch and lifted his hand to knock, but before he could, the door swung open to Dallas' surprise. "ITS ABOUT TIME YOU GOT HERE!" Johanna welcomed Dallas home with a warm embrace, and then proceeded to scold him. "You really sent us a piece of work you know that? I SHOULD charge you for it." She pouted and then pat his head. Dallas gave her a smile. "Alright come on in, its gettin' late sugar. Dinner's waitin' for ya." "IS THAT MY BOY?? BETTER GRAB A PLATE BEFORE I EAT IT ALL BWAHAHAHAAHA!!!!" "Dad, oh my god stop, I'm starving." "DONT YOU DARE TOUCH MY BABY'S PLATE!" She yelled to Russell in the other room and then turned back to Dallas in her normal tone. "Lord... Get in there Dallas, he's not joking hon..." Dallas sprinted to the table.
And so... Dallas was finally home with his family. While they all sat together, Dallas told his story. He talked about the amazing people he met, the battles he had won, and even the battle with Cynthia which inspired him to open his own battle club. His parents were pretty proud. He placed all 4 of the Poke Balls he had on his person on the table and went on and on about them like a soccer mom bragging about her kids. Talking about all the positives of his academy experience actually brought his spirits up. That was until... he got to the not-so-good parts. His demeanor quickly shifted and tears began welling up again. His parents stared at him worriedly. Johanna noticed his hands starting to tremble and grabbed them tightly. Russell came in behind her, covering both their hands with his. Dallas took a deep breath and continued his story. Once it was done, they were both outraged, but there wasn't really anything they could do at this point. Johanna even threatened to scrap with the rubble. Though she was serious, this made Dallas laugh, which then made Russell begin to chuckle a bit. It was actually a really good time for laughs to be had. Both his parents went up behind him in the dinner chair and simply hugged him. This is what Dallas needed. After dinner, Dallas let out all his Pokemon onto the ranch, allowing them to meet other Pokemon and roam free for a bit. He gave his belongings to his mother to wash and then took an hour shower before going to bed. It took him a while to get to sleep.
The Next Morning...
Dallas was awoken by Stoutland licking his face and almost drowning him in fur. "HGHgGGgghhH OKAY I'M UP." Dallas sprung up out of bed with the messiest bed head. He then looked irritably at Stoutland who was panting and wagging it's tail. Dallas looked out his window to see the farm Pokemon doing what they do, along with his own Pokemon playing or relaxing. It was a nice sight to see. "Alright Stoutland, let's get back to the old routine!" Dallas hopped out of bed, covering his bits because he sleeps without pants. Stoutland barked and looked away. He put on his usual overalls, without a shirt, and put on a different pair of boots. He then ran to the dryer to take out his signature scarf that had just been washed. As he ran outside, he was immediately attacked by a new Pokemon he had never seen before. "WH?? What the??" Dallas picked one of them up. It was so soft to the touch. It looked at him and softly went "Wooo" "OH! Right, I wanted to show you! We just got a new imported Pokemon from a far off region. Meet Wooloo! I been raisin' 'em for a coupl'a weeks now. They're pretty easy to tame!" Russell explained to Dallas about the new Pokemon but Dallas didn't hear a single word. "It's.... so... fluffy...." He had his face buried in the fleece. "This? This is curing my depression." Just then, a loud roar was heard in the distance. Something was closing in fast. Dallas clenched and held tight to the Wooloo. It appeared that what was rushing up to him was his Drapion! He hadn't seen it in months. When it arrived up to him, Dallas shielded himself with the Wooloo. "Please don't hurt me Please don't hurt me Please don't hurt me..." Dallas looked up to see Drapion tilting its head and smiling, sort of. It was happy to see him. "Oh yeah, your Drapion's all good now. Real sweet thing." Russell said as he was tending to the Miltank. Dallas lowered the Wooloo and turned back to Drapion, embracing it with a full hug "My baby!!" Dallas said, sobbing a bit. Drapion snorted and afterwards, went back to minding it's business.
Dallas was busy at work, doing the things he normally did when he was at home. It was so refreshing to be back. He didn't think about the academy situation at all. After about an hour or so, Johanna called him in for breakfast. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and ran inside. "Oof I can't wait for those special Hau'oli Pancakes you promised!" Dallas' eyes sparkled. "I was waitin' to make 'em when you got back. I also got a surprise for you!" Dallas, with a mouth full of pancakes, gave a muffled gasp. "TWO gifts??? I deserve this..." Johanna went under the sink to pull out something covered with a sheet. "I know you've been down a bit, and I know how much you love raising Pokemon... A couple left this here so I figured you'd be perfect toooo....." Johanna pulled back the sheet revealing a brown egg with darker brown stripes. Dallas was in awe. "Wait why were you keeping that under the si-" "BUT There's one condition. You gotta run an errand to Hearthome for me." Dallas squinted. "I...................................... suppose so. After I finish my pancakes!" He continued to eat. "Good, I'll give you your instructions when you're done." She gently placed the egg case on the table in front of Dallas and went back to the sink to wash dishes. Dallas paused his eating to stare at the egg. He was more excited than he let on. Johanna looked back and smirked.
Once he was finished eating, Dallas put on his usual tracksuit and grabbed his bag. "ALRIGHT GANG, WE'RE ROLLIN' OUT." He yelled out to all his Pokemon. Charizard, Gallade, and Starmie rushed up to him, fully refreshed and ready to go. "Hmm? Where's--" "Your father's taken a real liking to your Munchlax. See?" Dallas looked over to see his dad and Munchlax sitting under a tree eating apple after apple. Laughing and joking about how fat they both are. "D'aww... Okay, Munchlax can stay here." "Why don't you take your Drapion? It's been waitin' all this time to see you." Dallas looked over to Drapion who was staring back at him. "Good idea, I was plannin' on adding you back to the team anyways. Drapion let's go bud!" It gave an excited cry and marched over, lining up with the rest of his Pokemon. Dallas smiled, and returned the 4 to their Poke Balls, tucking them away in his pocket. "Alright sugar, here's a list of stuff I need in Hearthome. I know you just got home and I love and miss ya dearly, but don't return without every item on this list." Johanna handed the list to Dallas and sent him on his way. Looks like it was time for another adventure.
"Ahh shit here we go again."
Dallas received an egg!Munchlax was left home while Drapion is now on the team!Lake Guardian Gifts were officially cashed in! Starmie and Gallade are now Rank 4!

P R E - J O U R N E Y Sinnoh Region (シンオウ地方) Solaceon Town (ズイタウン)Dallas had finally made it back home with most of the items on his list. To think it took a whole day to do some simple shopping. As he walked in the house, setting his house key on the stand next to the door, he made his way to the kitchen. "MAAAA, I'M HOME." Johanna was in the fridge looking for ingredients to make milkshakes for dessert. It appeared dinner had already been eaten. "Oh, you're back." Dallas sat the supplies on the kitchen table and went straight to the counter to get some food. Looks like they ordered take out! Dallas immediately stuck a fork in the box and stuffed his face full with noodles. "Ye shorry, I coudnt fine earfquake." "Honey, don't speak with your mouth full, you'll choke and die." Johanna said, shoveling ice cream into a blender. "It's fine, we'll get that move some other time. RUSSELL, YOU WANT SPRINKLES BLENDED IN?" She suddenly yelled out to Dallas' dad in the other room. "YEAH!" he yelled back. Johanna added sprinkles into the mix. "Oh b. t. dubs, wheres Munchlax? I got him a treat." Johanna used the spoon to point over to Munchlax who was asleep with Stoutland in the dog bed. Dallas gushed over how adorable and chubby it looked. "My baby..." Dallas reached in his pocket, taking out the Rare candy he found, gently and quietly placing it on Munchlax's tummy. Before Dallas could walk away, Munchlax immediately woke up, gobbling down the whole thing in one bite, burping and going back to sleep. "I- .... well anyways." Dallas grabbed a plate and set up his meal to eat at the table while Johanna was blending milkshakes. As he was eating, while Johanna was pouring the milkshakes into a glass, Dallas wanted to tell his mom the decision he made. "Ma. I've decided something." "Hmm?" "I've decided... in one week! I'm gonna go on a journey. I'm gonna collect gym badges and compete in the Sinnoh League. Then I can get closer to my dream!" Dallas looked starry eyed. Johanna stared, almost surprised. She stopped pouring momentarily, wiping her hands on her apron. She walked over to Dallas, kneeling down to eye-sight to where he was sitting and gave him a big hug. She pulled back and looked him in the eyes. "You do that then. You go be the best damn trainer you can be." Dallas gave a wide smile and a nod. "Naturally!" he said. Johanna nodded. "That's my boy... RUSSELL, OUR BABY'S GONNA FIGHT THE LEAGUE!!" she yelled out, right in front of Dallas, startling him a bit. "WHAT??" "I SAID OUR BABY IS GONNA BE FIGHTING IN THE LEAGUE!!!" "OH, OH!!" Russell came running out of the room, huddling his wife and his boy. "MY BOY!!!! OH, THE PRIDE OF THE DIAMOND FAMILY HAHAA!" "LETS MAKE T-SHIRTS!!" "YES. YES, I LOVE WHERE YOUR HEAD IS AT." Dallas may have been extra, but around his parents, they had him beat. Throughout the rest of the night, after the unneeded celebrating, Dallas had a quiet night in. He had his egg next to him on his night stand as he flipped through a battle magazine. ((This is gonna be fun... I'll be up close and personal to some REAL intense battling. Hopefully they won't be weak either...))
Throughout the week, Dallas allowed for his Charizard and his other Pokemon to rest and train while he continued doing his daily chores. At one point, he even tried out a new Pokemon food recipe from a Youtube video. It wasn't the best. Munchlax enjoyed it though. He also took time to relax as well, which was good for his newfound anx*ety from the Azure incident.
One day while Dallas was scrolling through memes on his phone and eating breakfast with his egg case right in front of him, the egg began to glow. Dallas looked up at the egg and then back down at his phone, taking another bite of cereal. It then hit him. He looked up at the egg as it was glowing more and more. "OH!!" Dallas almost choked on his cereal, tossing his phone to the side and removing the glass case on top of the egg. "MAMAAA, DAAADDAYY!!! ITS HAPPENING!" The egg was glowing full on now, preparing to hatch. Right before it did, Dallas' parents came rushing in, excited about to birth of another life. They were careful though to step back. As Daycare owners, they knew that baby Pokemon would take attraction to the first person they saw. Dallas' parents didn't want to interfere, but were excited to witness. The egg took shape, forming itself into a newly hatched Swinub!Dallas stared at it as it stared back at him. It slowly wiggled up to Dallas. Took a pause. It gently pressed its nose against Dallas' nose. Dallas immediately fell onto the floor, curled up in a ball, covering his face and sobbing. "ITS... SO CUTE I CANT. I CANT. I'M NOT EMOTIONALLY MATURE ENOUGH FOR THIS PLEASE!! WOW. WOW." Johanna and Russell were excited about the Swinub but showed mild disappointment in their son rolling around on the floor crying. "He is who he is I guess." "Let's give him some room..." They both exited the kitchen, going back to work. Dallas wiped his nose, having to get himself together. He took out a Poke Ball from his bag and lightly tapped Swinub on the head, capturing it ⭐ Dallas held the Poke Ball as he laid on the floor, still sobbing.
