Paradise Pokeball System

Vol.2 Chapter 24: Cream Puff Dreams

When the elevator reached the top, a big set of doors opened to a single girl with pink hair and a pink long coat. She was wearing a white shirt with a red ribbon neck tie and blue pants. The girl must be Lacey, but she seemed kind of nervous from what I could see.

“Umm, welcome to Blueberry… Academy… is that you, Nemona?” Lacey asked slowly, and Nemona left my side to run over.

“Lacey! How have you been? How is your old man doing?! I totally want to have a rematch with him!” Nemoan cheered as she hugged Lacey.

After returning the hug, then pulling away. Lacey frowned at Nemona. “What are you doing here?”

Nemona waved for me to come over, and when I was standing beside Nemona, she grabbed my arm with a big smile. “This is my boyfriend, Landon!”

Lacey stood there for a moment, clearly trying to process what she just heard, and then she turned to me. “Is this true?”

“What do you mean?! I just told you as much!” Nemona complained, but I nodded.

“Yes, she is. I assume that you know everything about me? Geeta must have told you since you are the one showing me around, right?” I asked, and Lacey nodded.

Nemona snapped her finger, and I slightly wince, thinking she was going to make her clothing disappear, but she spoke up, clothing on. “I see! You think that he might have forced me into this, right?”

Lacey looked away from me but then nodded slowly, but Nemona laughed. “Not a chance! I love Landon and this new and amazing life we have together! You have no idea about all the cool things that I can do now!”

Frowning, Lacey asked, “What do you mean?”

Nemona walked over and took Lacey’s hand. “Take us to a private arena. The biggest one that you have! Landon and I will show you some things that will blow your mind! You love cute Pokémon, right? You haven’t seen anything until you see the kind of Pokémon Landon catches!”

An hour later, the three of us were in a massive arena alone, and we were all standing in the middle.

“So? What are you going to show me first?” Lacey asked, adding, “It took a lot to book this place and many people use it, so we might get people spying on us.”

Nemona smiled brightly, making her look even more beautiful than normal, and then struck a pose, with a finger pointing up, and her other hand on her hip. “It’s Always Go Time! Private Challenger!”

A Pokémon Stadium slammed down around us, and then a black dome surrounded us. Lacey fell back on her butt as all of this was happening. This was only my second time seeing Nemona use this ability, but it seemed to have gotten stronger. Before turning back to us, Nemona put her hands together and then pulled them apart. "Expand."

In a matter of seconds, the arena grew to almost twice its size with a thirty-foot tall wall around the arena, but no stands now. After she was done, Nemona skipped over with a beaming smile. "What did you guys think? Pretty cool, right? This was my first time trying the expanded thing, but wow!"

I laughed. "To say I was impressed would be an understatement. This is just wow! And it is sealed in so no one can see us!"

Nemona walked over and offered a hand to the stunned Lacey. "If you think this is crazy, just wait till Landon starts pulling out Pokémon!"

After Lacey took the hand and got up, she dusted herself off and then turned to me to bow slightly, and I returned the gesture. "I guess I have not properly introduced myself. I am Lacey of the elite four here at Blueberry Academy."

"My name is Landon of Melemele Island, but not the ones you know. Anyways, Nemona has been talking my girls up, and she said you like cute Pokémon, right?" I asked, and she nodded.

"I am very curious, but just wait. Since you have already shown me something, I will show you a Pokémon you might be interested in catching. Nemona said that you like cute Pokémon, I will show you one of my favorites!" Lacey said, and she pulled out a PokeBall, tossing it out. "Go, Alcreamie!"

The Poké Ball burst open, and a graceful swirl of cream and sweetness materialized in front of us. Alcremie stood in all its adorable glory, its various cream decorations sparkling under the arena lights.

"Aww, it's so cute!" Nemona exclaimed, clapping her hands together. "Landon, isn't it adorable?"

I was stuck staring at it, and it was looking at me, but for completely different reasons I was sure. I was positive that it was not wondering what it tasted like. According to my Pokédex of a brain, this Pokémon had 60 different variants! All of them varied in flavor? What force of nature created such a cute and delectable creature?!

"Landon? Hello? Anyone home?" Nemona asked, poking me in the face and I snapped out of it.

"Sorry, I was just going over everything I know about this Pokémon. Did you know it has 60 variants?! All dependent on the time of day, the sweetness they are holding, and how many times you spin?! I have never heard of such a complex Pokémon in my entire life!" I exclaimed, and both women laughed.

Nemona and Lacey's laughter filled the arena, echoing off the walls. Alcremie twirled in place, its creamy body shimmering with iridescent hues.

"That's right, Landon! Alcremie is special like that," Lacey said, beaming with pride. "Each variant has its own unique charm and flavor."

"I can see why you'd love a Pokémon like this," I said, smiling at Lacey. "It's not just cute, but incredibly unique."

Nemona clapped her hands, drawing our attention. "Alright, Landon! Show Lacey one of your cute Pokémon!"

I nodded and summoned one of my Poké Balls. "Alright, Lacey, prepare to be amazed."

With a flick of my wrist, I tossed the ball into the air. It burst open, releasing a brilliant flash of light. As the light faded, Popsicle stood proud in a white Pawmi dress. Her long ears twitched, and then she turned around to me and rushed to give me a hug.

"Hwa?" Was all that Lacey could say with big eyes as my Pawmi who looked more human than Pokémon cuddled into me.

"Ha! See?!" Nemona laughed but then pointed to Alcreamie. "You should have a battle with Landon! Then we can show something that will be all the other shocks!"

"What?! There are more shocking things?! I don't know if I can handle that, or have my Pokémon battle that Pokémon!" Lacey complained, but the Popsicle started to sniff the air.

She jumped off me before I could stop her, and stopped in front of the Alcreamie. The other Pokémon didn't flinch, and Popsicle walked around it, eyeing the Alcreamie. Suddenly, she dove and scooped the other Pokémon up and started to lick it.

"Popsicle! Stop that! Put her down!" I called.

"But master, it tastes so good! You should catch it! You would like the taste of her!" Popsicle called as I rushed over, but I was suddenly brought to my knees as Alcreamie let out a piercing cry.

Popsicle was knocked out immediately and dropped the Alcreamie, who casually sauntered back to Lacey. When I could finally get up, I went over to Popsicle, who was knocked out. I pulled out a revive and brought her back, but then tried some of the cream, and moaned in delight at the amazing flavor.

"See? It is good, right master? I got lots all over me so you can lick it up!" Pawmi laughed and then let me feed her a potion.
