I stood there, beside the edge of the bed sifting through my pockets. Emptying their contents for something I've been wondering if I had. There were several piles of things. Three square black high capacity power banks, each one three inches wide and half an inch thick and two inches long. All three had five lights indicating power level, though they came in three colors, blue, red and green. They as well have two usb ports on each making it possible for me to charge six things at once. Among them, multiple cords for charging and data transfer. This'll be all sorts of useful. I then discovered little drinks mix bottles for water. They reminded me of the little crush flavor enhancers which will be helpful.

Alright...what else do we have. ...Oo! Goodie! I thought with an excited smile seeing that I had what I remembered on facebook one time. I pushed the little push switch on the OTS knife, to see a five inch blade shoot out of it's handle slash sleeve with a satisfying click like sound, with a nice little jolt of force from it launching into action. Nice little knife. I thought as I twirled it between the fingers of my right hand, then switching with practiced motion to underhand and normal held positions. Nesia was looking at the knife with curious interest, wondering what I held in my hand.

"Sniv sni?" Nesia asked curiously. I looked at her with a short moment of confusion before realizing what she was talking about a second later. "This Nesi. Is what humans call a knife. It's used mainly as a tool, like whittling, cutting food. But, knives like what I'm holding are used for fighting mostly. And general cutting when need be." I explained to the little grass snake, I then began checking the sharpness of the blade, sliding my thumb to the side of the edge. Seeing how much grip there is to the blade. My eyes widened in surprise with the large amount of grip to the edge. Holy shit you are sharp. I thought pleasantly. Nesia asked me another question, this asking why I was sliding my thumb against the shiny part.

"I'm checking the sharpness. The way I'm doing it tells me how sharp it is from how much grip the edge has. The more grip the shaper it is. And the less it has the duller it is." I casually explained to her teaching her some of my knowledge as a weapon nut. She nodded in understanding with interest glinting in her eyes.

I then dug into the pocket I found the knife in. And to my pleasant surprise, I found a more of a combat knife version with a black handle. I pushed it's extend mechanism expecting the click like noise. But, the sound never came, I stared at it with raised brows. "Oh! Silent and deadly!" Psycho said enthusiastically.

"We have an attention grabber and stealth military switchblades. Interesting, and useful. And with the force their ejecting into position, you could just press it against a fleshy object or being and it'll just stab through. I gotta say, I like the implications with these." Vlad said thoughtfully.

Oh I love this. I thought in agreement to the voices. I decided to dual wield the knives with the blades retracted. Holding them underhanded like the classic assassin class in most games. I had a dark grin of malice grow from my lips as I thought of battle scenarios. Imagining a guy trying to punch me, with inturn me changing it's path knocking it aside with my left hand. In contact with the block I pushed the switch extending the blade into the assailants forearm, bringing the appendage to my control as I twisted the arm to a manageable position for the next motion. Immediately switching the knife in my right hand to to the overhand position and shoving it where the neck ended and the jaw began, jabbing and extending the blade for the kill. Imagining the sight of the man's shock and horror as his blood emptied from the wound and his mouth, painting his neck and mouth in a sickening crimson. All the while I grinned with joyful evil intent.

I mentally giggled evilly as I imagined more scenarios like this, with ways to dispatch my opponent. These will do gloriously. All the while Nesia and Elora looked with curiosity, not knowing what I was really doing.

My eyes snapped into the direction of the two looking. Scheisse... I thought as the two looked at me still wondering. After that I placed the knives in easy to reach places on my pants while hiding them in the process. I didn't know the weapon laws, besides the played on thought that guns were banned in some of the fanfics I've read. And I really didn't need to deal with the police.

"Sniii...snivy sni snivy?" Nesia asked what I was doing with the knives.

"Doing a little practice if I need to fight." I answered rather nonchalantly.

Nesia and Elora looked at me with a determined smile. "Snivy sniv snivy snivy sni!" [You wouldn't need to fight since we're around!] Nesia said while she held a fist up with a determined smile. That display actually put a smile on my face. "We'll protect you from any thugs!" Elora added breathing out a fire illusion.

"And if need be, I'll smack them into a wall to knock them out." Keldra added with a smile from her seat on the computer. I looked at her to see a little grin. I'm just loving having these pokemon so far. I thought jubilantly with a quiet chuckle. These three haven't stopped putting a smile on my face since I got them, and I'm pretty sure it's been likewise for them.

I grabbed one of the Prople's I had out, taking a good drink out of it. I was almost ready to leave. I looked through my pack to see if I had one of those little day packs, Figuring why the hell not considering. I felt something akin to a shoulder strap, and decided to pull it out. Ello ello, wot we 'ave 'ere. I thought pleased with my find. It was one those one strap packs colored in black and blue. I grabbed a few of my untouched drinks, putting about four in there with some snacks for me and my pokemon. After that and zipping it up, I got it on and turned to my pokemon.

"Alright, who's ready to take a trip to Lindorna cafe?" I asked the three. They all responded with coming over to me, Nesia already getting on my shoulders and getting comfortable and ready for the cold. I knelt down to get Elora placing her on my other shoulder, going about this like Nesia, I then picked up Keldra, situating her in my coat with her little head popping out of the collar. "Alrighty diety, hi ho hi ho, and a vay ve go." I said and went out the door. When I got out to the lobby Nurse Joy looked over to me with a concerned look.

"Aren't you and your pokemon going to get cold in that?" She asked in legitimate concern looking at my attire.

"No actually." I replied almost matter-of-factly with a cheerful tone.

"Well, just be careful."

"No prob." I said walking out the door. As I walked outside, I was somewhat impressed with the structures they managed to build in this kind of place with the type of weather they had here. "I have a feeling that shitstorm of snow is a somewhat common occurrence. Don't you agree?" Psycho asked noting the somewhat neutrality to the snow storm as if this was normal here. I'll ask one of the residents when we get to the shop. I announced to the voices.

I got out my p. g. And looked at the music functions to see if I can do something like a sound bubble. I may be an asshole and a bit of a dick, but I was raised to be polite. That, and I didn't want somebody bitching at me for my music. So with that in thought, I looked through the features to see if such a function is there or is doable. Hmm...no...no...the hell? Add to the "I'll screw with this later" list...that one too. Hm...Maybe? No... I thought as I went through the multiple functions and settings. It took me a minute to find what I was looking for. So to speak.

Sound barrier vibration dilator...that's a mouthful. I thought looking at the name then began reading the functions convenient info panel telling of it's use and how to activate and such. Huh...interesting. Nesia looked on as I went through reading this as did Keldra read along. She looked at the function with a curious though confused look, not fully understanding. Huh, I can change the radius and set a holographic volume panel, that I can move around. Intriguing. I thought rather interesting by the function. Then a evil little grin decided to pop up as I had a thought with this. Heheheh, I could fuck with so many people's minds as I walk by. I thought evilly, mentally chuckling, imagining it all. I then began to hear Elora giggle evilly a mere moment later. I looked at her with the grin.

"So, have the same thought?" I asked the little fox.

"On how it'll screw with people's minds?"

"Oh entirely." I said doing a little cackle. "Oh I'm going to love this." I said continuing to imagine the situation. I then turned the function on testing it out. I wonder if it'll reverberate with my more bassy music.

"Oh! Oh! Do Still counting by Volbeat!" Psycho announced, granted it wasn't a bad choice, but not very bass oriented. Just then Vlad piped up.

"How about we try Specter by Allen Walker?" Vlad suggested.

Ooo, good choice. I thought with a small smile as I brought up said song. Shortly the songs cheerful melody began to bounce the air around us. I began to grin as I softly bobbed my head to the sound with a little sway. The other three enjoyed the tune as well. Now for the search function. I thought as I brought out 'google maps' So to speak. There was a vocal search feature on the program, I was tempted to use it, but the sound of the music will most likely drown out my voice to the app. Alright, shits and giggles typing it is. I thought as I tried typing the cafe's name.

To my surprise I somehow spelt it right. And even more shocking it wasn't that far from my current position. Sweet. I don't have to walk that far. I thought pleased, then began walking with a set course. The first step onto the inclining snow surprised me, seeing me and my voices thought on my shoes now began working as I was basically walking on the uppermost layer, I grinned at the prospect for a moment finding this rather interesting. The layout of this place was a lot like a normal townish city. As I walked down a street called 'Bellem' I spotted familiar red and white text in my peripheral vision. My sight turned to the building, What beheld my vision filled me with actual surprise and elated my inner gamer. This is becoming more of a parallel the more I look... I thought as I looked at the GameStop with a grin.

"We're taking a look on our way back right?" Psycho asked hoping.

Oh hell yes. I thought as a little knowing grin began to spread on my lips. Well, it seems so as far with my money situation, I should have a pretty good chunk on me. I assumed as I continued my walk following the directions on my little map. It showed I had a few blocks left to trek. Should we eat out today? I suggested to the voices. I took them a moment to contemplate.

"Fuck it, why not?" Psycho replied with a cheerful tone.

"Sounds like an interesting idea." Vlad thought. Then...a 'test subject' rounded a corner to me. Oh this is going to be good. I thought as after several songs on the walk, Still counting by Volbeat actually came up, I grinned for a moment as the unsuspecting pedestrian came nearer. As the normal looking man in his mid twenties came near, he was in deep thought as he walked passed, then suddenly getting a blast of sound. Startling him fiercely as it stopped as fast as it came. I continued walking on, giggling with a toothy grin as my other pokemon laughed and giggled. Thankfully the man did not hear any of it. But looked bewilderingly at the guy somehow walking on top of the snow instead of trudging along like himself. He looked ahead again shaking his head with widened eyes.

"I need to stop drinking booze with my meds..." The man said as he confusedly walked on.

"Oh my good god that was good!" I said after a minute of cackling as I walked on.

"Oh that was great!" Elora said laughing.

"Let's do that again!" Keldra said which surprised me a little considering.

"Aww, their becoming twisted! Oh I'm so proud!" Psycho said gleefully.

"For better or worse, only time will show." Vlad chimed, which I could only agree as I rounded the corner to see the shop on the other side of the street. The road was covered in about three and a half feet of snow. "Vell then." I commented looking at the snow. I wonder if they use snow plows... I thought curiously, but. As soon as I thought of that question I heard for a moment wings flapping...not like little bird wings flapping. Like a big creatures wings. The fuck...? I thought curiously before I saw a Charizard of all things fly by wearing some sort of coat blasting fire onto the street as it passed. I flinched as it's flames went by me, annihilating the snow and ice on the road. If I wasn't awake before. I am now. "Holy fuck!" I said with wide eyes in the moment of my flinching. Then I heard a distant apology from the Charizard. At least the damn pseudo-dragon knows how to say sorry instead of be a dick. I thought as I watched the orange lizard continue doing it's task. As I looked at the road, I noticed it was dry as well. Well...it's sure as hell more effective then a snow plow. I thought in consideration.

"And you never have to worry about slipping and falling on black ice." Vlad noted. Valid point.

"Well...that was interesting..." Keldra spoke up, likely speaking on what's on the others minds.

"That it was." I said in agreement. I then began walking to the shop. When I entered, I felt a drastic temperature difference. The inside having a welcoming warm feel. I saw illustrations and other little art pieces on the walls accompanied by wall tiling that somehow added to the nice atmosphere of the shop, there was a varnished wood flooring of varying abstract color and patterns. The colors seamlessly transitioning from one beautiful myriad of colors to the next in the many patterns. It reminded me some of the abstract spatial art I've seen Deviant Art.

My three pokemon were mesmerized by the interior of the cafe as I walked up to the counter with one of the employees, a prominently female lucario for the fact, entertaining herself with her smartphone. I stared with a surprised and unsure look.

Okay then, this is interesting. She's either a helper...or, or...She actually works here. Intriguing if it's the latter. Further interesting to the fact which would mean that pokemon here can actually work human jobs. Odd...but quite interesting nonetheless. I thought legitimately surprised. Another thing, there hasn't been any customers yet as far as I could tell.

"Very interesting to thought indeed. Though odd as you said, it is rather fascinating to think that this world's economy and laws let such things go about." Vlad said agreeing to my statement.

"That would explain the charizard more." Psycho noted from earlier.

Actually that would better explain it. I thought concurring with the voice.

I looked up at the drink menu above her, and some foods there. Not anything big, kind of things to go with coffee and such. I even saw something that looked like a blueberry muffin to my surprise. Said surprise never showed on my face. I turned down my music several notches so I could hear the woman clearly if she decided to cater to me. Though as I looked up again I saw something that resembled a Italian soda. Well it was called an Alto Soda to my small surprise. Huh, go figure. I thought nonchalantly as I looked through the flavors.

"Hahah! I knew it!" Psycho said happily winning the little bet with Vlad.

"Shit." Was Vlad's singular reply.

As I looked through the list of flavors, I saw some flavors that was in my world including, and in my opinion with my love of sweet flavors, the best flavor ever. Pacific Northwest Raspberry. Considering this being the pokemon world, none of their seas are named the pacific to my knowledge. Oh sweet christ! I thought looking at the drink syrup with glee.

I saw a drink called an Altarian delight that had white chocolate and Pacific Northwest Raspberry with Oran berry juice shockingly enough. It's the same combination to a drink called Harley's Mallet in my uncle's espresso shop for Seadog night's and Gypsy's carnival (Pirate event), but without the added bit of oran berry.... My knees hurt like hell afterwards on getting home from that event. But other then that. I was all sorts of excited for this as I grinned happily.

"Alright girls, Get whatever you want." I announced to the three first evolutions, They looked at me with a grin and began to search there drinks as they got out of my coat. I looked over the syrups they had being more surprised they were the Da Vinci brand. Holy shit. Da Vinci. I thought continuing to look over the flavors. Actually surprising me with the rather large selection.

Even more to my surprise a Gallade in a dark blue hoodie came around to the front counter, presenting a smile. With another detail to note, I was actually taller then him. Resulting me to mentally chuckle at the fact.

"Welcome to Lindorna cafe, I'm Devin and I'll be helping you create any wonderful drinks today." Devin the Gallade spoke then noticed my light clothing. He looked with surprised and concerned eyes looking from me and my pokemon and back. My eyes widened slightly, granted not letting him really see my shock to seeing a pokemon speaking perfect english with no sound of difficulty. Holy shit he can speak english! I thought very well surprised by the very fact alone. Though, I found it odd that I could differentiate the speech of a pokemon's usual dialect to that of a human's.

"Weren't you and your little friends cold coming to here?" He asked actually concerned.

"No, surprisingly." I replied with a little smirk.

"If you don't mind me asking, anything special with your outfit?" Devin asked rather curious of how me and my pokemon could stand the biting cold in Snowbelle city.

"Temp resistant clothing." I simply replied, as the Gallade's head tilted slightly to the right in question with a raised brow at that. At this point the Lucario glanced over to see what was going on.

Well, it's what we've come to thinking it was. Which could either be spot on, or pretty damn close. I reasoned about my attributes of my clothes.

"Indeed, but somehow we should look into this. I might have a few experiments in mind." Vlad said, still rather curious if it has an up in durability somehow.

Oh do tell. I inquired to the mainly logical voice.

"Well, let's do the experiments in the comforts and privacy of the room we're staying in." Vlad reasoned. It would be better not having prying eyes.

"That's cool! Where can I get some. It'll be fantastic for around here." Devin said noting the frigid city.

"Oh bloody hell...I would tell you, but I can't remember the name of the place I got these from. Maybe you can find it online, but it's a little secluded. And from what I understand it's a pain to look up online." I said playing dumb with the question.

"Well I guess I know what I'm doing tonight." Devin noted with a chuckle.

I then had a thought if I could have him replicate one of my drink concoctions. "Can you do custom orders?" I asked the Gallade.

He looked at me with a smile while getting out a twelve ounce clear cup. "That I can."

"Awesome," I said pleased with the answer, "alright we'll need three flavors. Short bread, toasted marshmallow and strawberry. " I began. "We're going to need about..." I trailed off for a moment. Would it be one eighth? I questioned one of the voices and myself.

"It seems like the appropriated amount if I'm using the memory right." Vlad said positive but unsure of the measurement. Screw it we'll go with the measurement. I thought then returned to the conversation.

"One eighth of the three." I said finishing the thought. The Gallade went about grabbing everything and poured the requested amount. It looked about right when I did the combination.

"Will that be all?" Devin politely inquired showing a genuine cheerfulness to his work. After he said that the song coming home from Ankie & Tuen began playing

Huh, he actually seems to like his work. Interesting. I thought enthused by the dual type.

"Yeah." I answered then a few moments later he finished my concoction like a regular italian soda. He then held it up to me. "We have a policy of letting the customer do a taste test before they make their purchase." Devin said with a cheerful demeanor. This little statement gave me a pleasant surprise. My uncle had the same policy for his coffee shop at seadogs.

"Oh sweet." I said with a smile taking the drink. I took a sip testing if the syrup amounts were correct. I had a blissful smile on my face, pleased to have a taste of my little concoction I've aptly named the strawberry shortcake. I remember when I made the drink at my first time at seadogs two years ago that I had return customers for it. Even had a guy drink one down when his friends were ordering and actually paid for another on the spot.

"It's fabulous." I said very pleased with the drink. Devin smiled with my answer.

"Wonderful, anything else?"

"Yeah, I'd like to try that Alterian delight." I asked with a half smile.

Devin showed an amused look. "Nice choice, I swear it's the best drink we make here!" He noted then added. "That is if you really love sweet flavors." Now this really interested me. Shortly he had the drink ready for my taste test.

The flavors that came next...simply put in my words. Joygasm!

"Oh sweet mother of god, that's good!" I said rather joyfully with little chuckle from the amazing flavor.

I glanced to the side to see the lucario doing the drinks for my three little companions with a casual smile.

"So, that'll be ten-twenty seven sutrin total." Devin announced. (I couldn't figure out a currency to use, I had something in mind but it turned out to be a language...Surprisingly)

My eyes widened slightly in sudden fear. Oh shit! Wait, I might have a card. I reasoned as I placed the drink on the counter, then dug in my pockets to find a likeness to a debit card or something of the such with a logo similar to Visa. Oh conveniency I love you. I thought happily as I swiped the card through the card reader and, with the sake of shits and giggles. Did my pin on my actual card. And low and behold and to my relief it worked.

With that done we went to a corner booth, Keldra felt being nice and carried Elora's drink with her telekinesis.

Once we were situated at the table, the three little pokémon looked at their drinks with mirthful curiosity for a moment before taking a tentative drink. I watched with an enthused raised a brow and small side smile seeing the excited faces after the first taste. With that, they drained Alto sodas with a little more haste. Temporally enraptured by the flavors.

And now another thing I think their going to get addicted too... I thought with a quite little chuckle as I enjoyed my own.

Though sadly a short time later, someone had to ruin it...always has to be someone to ruin your good time.

About eight minutes later a suspicious looking guy walked into the store that I might actually plan on making a revisit to. I glanced at him from my p.g. Looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"I'm getting bad juju." Vlad announced with an uneasy tone.

I'm not the only one then. I thought back to the voice.

I noticed that Keldra was taking looks at the guy, showing her own unease. And when you see a Psychic type start getting worried, then you start to worry. As I was thinking this Linkin Park's In the end playing.

He made out to look like he was going to walk up the to the counter about halfway there he unzipped his coat and brandished something that looked like a Walther ppk and pointed to the Gallade and the Lucario. They both raised their hands, trying to be non threatening as possible. I looked at the guy with a displeased and irritated look.

"Alright, money out of the register. Now." The man said sternly.

Are you fucking kidding me...? I thought seeing this rather bothersome to my nice late morning. I then looked back at my pokemon to see Keldra staring at the man now irritated with the scene playing here. I heard a small vexed grunt. And the next thing she began to show her telekinetic gray glow.

"Hm?" The man hummingly inquired as he felt strange all of a sudden. And the next thing he knew he was flung to the wall while his gun was removed from his hand floating in place for a second before semi gently clattering to the ground. I looked at the guy with a irked narrow eyed look. "Wrong day numbnuts. Wrong day." I said to the guy plainly.

"What the hell did you do to me!?"

Keldra then poked her head in view and grinned with a chuckle at the man that tried to rob this shop.

I then looked at Devin and the Lucario. "You guys have box tape, duct tape anywhere?" I asked nonchalantly. They looked at me dumbfounded for a moment, before the Lucario sped off to the storage room. And not ten seconds later after I got up and began walking to the guy she came out and tossed the fresh roll of box tape to me. I pulled a little badass note catching it without looking while still walking up to the guy.

I smirked at the guy. "Keldra, can you bring him more to the floor more and farther from the wall? And bring his arms to his sides and put him on his knees." I asked and she complied with the instructions, Nesia was then fiddling with my p.g. Getting the record function going. I looked at the man with a calm little grin. "I've always wanted to do something like this." I said with a little demented giggle rather enjoying this. I unfurled a little of the roll with my nail to get a grip, after I had a good hold, I yanked out a good starting strip with an oh so satisfying sound of the adhesive detaching from itself. "I'm going to get you for this! You little piece of-" The man began before I silenced him with the strip. "Uh-huh, let me know how well that goes when you even find me dickhead." I said with a casual uncaring tone. As I went around and around and around with the roll of box tape I began to sing a little song. "Round round the tape goes, tightly around the prick! All the way down till he can't move any-more!" I sang obviously enjoying myself as Nesia and Elora giggled all the while.

It took me about two minutes to get the guy 'properly' restrained thanks to Keldra holding him in place. With that I looked at the employee's with a mixture of tiring annoyance and finality with a albeit calm look. "Do please not give the police a description of me. I don't need any infamy or other any other disgruntling bullshit of the sort. I'd like to enjoy my day without questioning." I said semi casually as if this was normal.

"Um, sure. No problem. But, thank you for that!" Devin spoke gratefully as the Lucario nodded with her understanding and gratitude.

"Awesome." I looked to the girls to see them smiling and pointing the phone's camera at me.

"Snivy sni." Nesia said cheerfully. [That was interesting.]

I did a small laugh with a smile. "Yes, that was interesting. Though I don't know if I want a repeat of this." I said while walking over to them, after I got near the table Nesia stopped the would be semi comical video.

"You know, I never saw a security camera in here. Sooo, that made going down low a little easier." Psycho said optimistically.

I noticed that too. Definitely makes my life a little easier.

"Alright girls, finish off your drinks. 'Cause we gotta gtfo quick like." I announced then downed the small amount left of my concoction. In about a minute or so, they depleted their pleasant drinks and got themselves situated in their respective spots. I placed my phone in my coat pocket for the moment as I grabbed my Alterian delight. I then looked at the empty cups on the table after I reached for mine, Keldra got my intent and lifted the other three and landed them in the trash bin on our way out. And before I left out the door. "Nesi, could you hold this a sec?" I asked the Snivy as she then held my drink with a vine. With that I side tossed my empty into the bin and promptly left with an awesome note.

I quickly brought up another song for our little city adventure. I started us off with Dance with Dragons by Fantasy medieval music, the song chanting it's notes from the familiar violin.

I placed my momentarily glorified mp3 back in a safe pocket and grabbed my drink after covering my hand with the coat's sleeve.

"Hi ho! Hi ho! On to another shop we go!" I said in a singsong tone, making the little phrase into a little song, the girls quickly joining in and taking turns adding lyrics to the impromptu song while I walked my merry way down the sidewalk.

Hopefully, that won't happen again today. I thought optimistically while I looked at the varying building and shops.
