《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 7: First Mission (1)
Advertisement
Alice was waiting for Arnold outside John's office. She was wondering whether her dad was able to make him stay or not, she was about to peep inside when the doors leading to her father's office, opened up and both of them walked out.
Arnold couldn't look happier, just as he was about to leave he saw Alice and went ahead and told her about the good news, even she was happy for him as she knew about the hardships he had endured for the sake of his sister and from the money he'll get now, Nicole's treatment would be more effective. Just as they were happily chatting, the guild communicator on their wrist started vibrating, indicating there was a notification. They both looked at the communicator, they were urgently called for a dungeon mission. No details were given, they were simply asked to report near the guild's entrance.
"Emergency mission?" Arnold looked at Alice, hoping that she'd know something about it.
"I don't know. But it should be something like that." She replied as they both rushed to the gate.
When they reached near the gate, everyone else including the guild manager James, was already present there. Everyone was already wearing their gears, but no one paid any attention to Arnold, he was an outcast after all.
Seeing that every one of the 12 man team was already there, James started speaking.
"A blue dungeon gate has appeared near the Everglades. Since it comes within our territory, the mayor has requested us to kill every monster in there, the detailed report has been sent to your communicators, you can refer to it if you want more information about it." He said sternly and looked at Arnold, "Since it is a new experience for you and we don't have a spare porter right now, you'll continue as a porter and only observe for today."
Of course, the guild had spare porters but Arnold knew it very well that the guild master was forcing him to do the job so that he could humiliate him and make the others feel better by making him feel helpless. Everyone was laughing at him right now, especially EL and Miguel.

"You just need someone to carry it right?" Arnold asked James.
"Well that's what a porter does," he replied smirking like the others. Even if the vice president had appointed Arnold as a warrior, they would never treat him like one.
"Great then!" Arnold smiled.
Everyone was confused at Arnold's behaviour before they saw the creature standing behind him. It was a frost golem.
"If carrying the bag is the only thing to do then he is perfect for the job," Arnold said patting the golem on his back, no was smirking anymore. Arnold successfully outplayed everyone else. He ordered to golem to take care of the bag and the items. Everyone got into the vehicles provided by the guild and headed towards the Everglades national park. Arnold was about to enter the park when a thought hit him. He hadn't picked a class yet. He quickly opened the [rewards] tab, and after pondering for a while he decided to pick [COSMIC CREATIONIST] class as it had the most useful abilities like foresight and weapon creation.

"It's a shame I don't have any gear to use the [ENHANCEMENT] spell on..." He looked back and saw the golem taking out the bags and carrying the necessities. Arnold had an idea, he walked back towards the golem, placed his hands in its chest.

His guess was right! He could enhance the golems as well. He used the skill for the first time and the buff received by the golem was already overpowered. Even though Arnold pretty much knew that with his current level, the enhancement wouldn't be a permanent one, seeing the stats of the golem made him crave for more.
Golem had changed physically as well. He was taller and bulkier than before. But the most noticeable change was his two additional arms. Everyone who saw this only had one thing in their minds, "Who the hell is Arnold!?" Not only did he had ice and earth affinity, but he could also use support spells. The person who was shocked the most was Miguel, after losing the fight, the only closure he had was thinking that at least he was able to push Arnold to give it all he had, but seeing him using support spells took away the little bit of closure he had.
As he was staring at Arnold, Arnold was staring back at him too, Miguel suddenly felt uncomfortable and quickly averted his gaze. Little did he know Arnold was using his [PROBE] skill on him. After using the skill, a system message was shown in front of him.

"We will now enter the dungeon! Make sure your gear is in proper condition and that you're prepared both mentally and physically. This is just a blue dungeon, meaning most of the monsters inside, except the dungeon boss will be of rank C at most thus dealing with them won't be a problem." Ricardo, the party leader roared at the top of his lungs, everyone nodded and checked their gears once again. after checking his gear Ricardo walked towards Arnold. "Here take this, it's a video device which sends the video feed to the guild's server. And good luck for your first dungeon trip as a warrior."
"Thanks." Arnold took the small button like device and pinned it on his chest. As Ricardo had explained, this device was used to record an individual's POV (Point Of View) inside the dungeon, this is how if a guild's member discovers something, the guild would immediately inform the media houses about its discovery. Only warriors were given the device as it was quite expensive and who would want to see a porter's POV anyway.
After setting up everything they entered the dungeon.

The Pokemon Ranger
Summoned from his unjust suffering in the mundane world, Spike finds himself before Arceus, who opts to send him to the world of Pokemon with the request to assist in maintaining the world's harmony. Afterwards, Arceus sends him off with the egg of a Riolu who will be his partner along the journey. Next thing he knows, he wakes up with a headache in the body of a five-year-old boy in the middle of a forest in Hoenn. Thus begins the journey of a Pokemon Ranger who will come to be feared by those hiding in the dark of the Pokemon world.____________________________________________________________Author Note:Please keep in mind that this is an AU (Alternate Universe). I will be taking aspects of the Pokemon world that I find to be the most fun and enjoyable and editing some things as I see fit. The world will contain some elements and characters from the anime, manga, and games, but it will also have some original characters and a mostly original storyline. It will not go fully grimdark like some gritty parts of the manga or some more realistic fanfictions, but also won’t be all sunshine and roses like the games. Overall, I do want to keep the story on the lighthearted side, but there will be some more serious plots as well. About 90% taking the story seriously and 10% wish fulfillment, I suppose. Note: I am also posting this fanfiction on Webnovel. No difference on release times for chapters.Also, as an update because of the people who messaged me about the multiple transmigrators, the existence of other transmigrators won't have much, if any, affect on the main plotline (or the harem if that's what those people are worried about). There will only be a handful of interactions with a few of the transmigrators during some of the more dangerous scenarios I have planned. I don't expect this to change anybody's mind, but thought it was worth mentioning. Also, I edited the first chapter to make this more obvious.Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or speak for GameFreak, Nintendo, or Pokemon. I'm just a fan having some fun in his free time.
