In the world of Pokemon there are many regions. Filled with pokemon and trainer alike. Every trainer has their own story. This is the story of a young adult from the Orange Archipelago region Jari Kennish.
At the exterior of an unfinished building Jari and two of his eight friends get out of a car. Paige and Matthew.
"Why'd you want us to come here?" Jari perplexed.
"Yeah. I'm actually pretty curious about that myself." Paige said.
"This is my future dream home." Matthew conveyed.
"But it's unfinished." Paige said.
Jari nudges Paige.
"Paige. I think he knows that." Jari said.
"I know it's not done but it's going be awesome. You'll see. Let's check out the inside." Matthew said. Halloween. At the first Pokemon Gym Jari, Paige, and Matthew arrive and meet the rest of their friends. April, Aimee, Sabrina, Enzo, Alaric and Light.
"Matthew actually showed you his dream home? He hasn't even showed it to us yet." April conveyed.
"I just haven't gotten the chance." Matthew said.
"He probably showed Paige and I because we were there." Jari said.
"Tell me it didn't look shitty." Alaric taunted.
"It's still in progress. But I wouldn't call it shitty." Jari said.
The gang head for the front desk where the two Gym Trainers check them in. Wednesday and Monica.
"Happy Halloween." Wednesday rapped.
"Happy Halloween to you too. Is Saitama in?" Jari inquired.
"Yes but I don't think he's accepting any challenges today." Monica said.
"We're not here to battle him." Sabrina hurled back.
Sabrina pulls Jari close to whisper in his ear.
"Wait Jari are we?" Sabrina puzzled.
"No way Sabrina." Jari said.
Wednesday takes the gang to the battlefield and leaves. The Gym Leader is already there training and giving his pokemon candy. Saitama.
"I don't do challenges on Halloween sorry. You'll have to come back tomorrow for that." Saitama said.
"We didn't come here for that." Jari replied.
Saitama takes out a candy bowl and lets all of them pick out some candy.
"In that case why?" Saitama wondered.
"Is visiting our best friend a good enough reason?" Aimee laughed.
"I guess." Saitama said. At the bathroom of PokeMart Jari dries his hands and goes out into the hallway. He gets shocked from behind by something or someone and falls to the ground on his back.
"What the hell?" Jari asked.
Elekid had shocked Jari. The Elekid belonged to Officer Cerise whose breath smelled like alcohol.
"Nice one Elekid." Cerise said.
"Officer Cerise?" Jari puzzled.
"I like it when you call me that. It's a big turn on." Cerise jested.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jari snapped.
"I saw you go in. I wanted to caught you off guard and it worked. You're cute. I just wanted to get my way for a bit." Cerise said.
Cerise's Elekid goes to block anyone else from entering the Hallway. Cerise flips Jari over and starts kissing and biting his neck. Saitama rushes in and sends out Gabite. Saitama's Gabite knocks Cerise unconscious and away from the smaller boy. Saitama pulls Jari to his feet.
"Are you okay?" Saitama questioned.
"I'm good." Jari said.
"Luckily I picked this time to use my Gym Leader's coupon on Ultra Balls and Max Potions. I think we need to get you back to your friends." Saitama said. Later. At the PokeMart Jari has informed the rest of the gang about what happened with Officer Cerise.
"Saitama said that the PLA came and took Cerise away a couple of minutes ago." Enzo said.
"What's going to happen to her?" Jari asked.
"She'll definitely lose that badge." Paige said.
"And then go to prison for sexual assault. With some of the very same prisoners she once put away. I thought Officers were supposed to protect us." April said.
"Apparently not." Jari groaned.
Three representatives from the PokeMart head over. Zuko, Link, and Niall.
"Thanks for nothing." Aimee greeted.
"We just wanted to issue a personal apology for what happened." Zuko said.
"I want you to know that we take the safety of every customer seriously. While we know it won't quite make up for what happened. We want to provide you and your friends with free vouchers. If you should decide to shop here again." Niall said.
"How are you doing?" Link worried.
"Better." Jari said.
"How do you think he's doing after what that bitch did to him?" Matthew inquired.
"Matt it's okay." Jari rationalized.
"No it's not." Matthew said.
"Your friend's right Jari. We've spoken with PLA and Officer Cerise. You're not the first guy she's done to this to. The PokeMart is meant to be a safe place. But going forward better security measures will be put in place so this will never happen again." Niall said.
At the second Pokemon Gym the gang arrive. The Gym Leader is one of Paige's three sisters. Prue. Prue and Prue's Zamazenta are cleaning up the Gym.
"I thought Zayn and Liam said she'd be in here." Aimee restated.
"She's standing right in front of us." Jari chortled.
Prue turns her attention the gang and quickly pulls Jari into a tight hug. Only releasing Jari when she realizes that he can't breathe.
"Paige told me about what happened at the PokeMart. I was worried." Prue said.
"I'm fine now." Jari said.
"So Saitama came to your rescue?" Prue wondered.
"Luckily." Jari said.
Paige senses Jari is uncomfortable and changes the subject.
"Hey Prue we saw this family coming in. Do you know them?" Paige inquired.
"Yes I do. I let them sleep at my Gym sometimes. I also make sure they eat everyday. And I pick up donated clothes whenever I can. Though it does really get busy at the Gym and I'm not always able to do that. That's Andy the Dad and his family. The Dad lost his job a couple of months ago. He, his wife, and their two children have been homeless ever since. I've offered to help them find a place to stay. But they won't accept it. They don't want charity." Prue said.
"That's terrible." Jari said.
"I'll be right back." Prue said.
Prue leaves. The gang goes to the front desk where the Two Gym Trainers are sitting. Zayn and Liam.
"Do you two know where Prue went?" Jari asked.
"You know that family she was telling you about in there Jari? She went to give them some soup." Zayn said.
"Prue has a good heart." Jari said.
"I can't help but feel like we should do something." Light groaned.
"They don't want charity. Prue can only help them a little bit as it is." Liam said. At the Diner the gang sit in a booth when the waiter comes to take their order. Taylor.
"I'll be your waiter today. May I take your order?" Taylor asked.
"We're doing good. I would like the-" Jari ordered.
Jari and the gang give Taylor their orders. Taylor writes them down on a notepad and gives them candy as well.
"Don't worry the candy's free for all costumers since it's Halloween. Your food and drinks should be here shortly." Taylor babbled.
Taylor leaves. Paige's other two sisters sit with the gang in a booth a few minutes later. Piper and Phoebe.
"Andy said yes." Piper said.
"I'm confused." Jari said.
"I'll let Phoebe explain." Piper said.
"Paige called us and told us about the family that lost their home and their situation. We called in some favors. The Dad Andy and his family are now living in a house just down the street from Prue's Gym. The parents also got a job offer. The first couple of months will be free. So their worries are over." Phoebe said.
"I didn't think they would actually pull it off." Paige croaked.
"Your sisters are awesome Paige." Jari complimented.
"I think you should pick your jaw off the floor Jari." Paige said.
"Looks like we proved you wrong little sis." Phoebe laughed.
Three servers bring the gang their freshly cooked food and drinks. Alex, Sonny, and Miley. Paige turns to her sisters.
"Don't worry I ordered food for you as well." Paige said. At the exterior of Matthew's Dream Home Jari, Paige, and Matthew arrive as Paige touches Jari's face.
"Your face is really soft." Paige said.
"Thanks. Where are we?" Jari asked.
"My dream home." Matthew said.
"Oh shit. We were just here a couple of hours ago and it didn't look like this." Jari emoted.
"I know. My realtor and construction guys have been working on it." Matthew said.
Paige frowns as she looks at her RotomDex.
"It's just going to be the three of us. The others can't make it." Paige stuttered.
"They'll see it another time." Jari mentioned.
Matthew puts an arm around Paige and Jari's shoulders.
"C'mon it's not just the outside that's had some changes." Matthew said.
