đź““ Evan's Training Journal đź““
Month 1 Day 15
The next day after my great valley of death fight with AJ, I started reiewing the battle, Overall performance was alright but I will have to train Trixie, Yes I named my metapod, well it is unfair to just name Thorn but not her, So I named her. Then comes Thorn, feeding nutrious food and bugforce, made his potential more darker, But that's not it. More that some interesting happened today.
[Pokemon: Bug catcher]
(Evan's pov)
I was called to the teachers office, Melody told me that Mr. Bramble is the one calling me, So I went to the teacher's office, When I went in the office, I saw Mr. Bramble, sitting on his chair. I went to side and called out to him.
"Mr. Bramble, Melody said to me that you called me" I asked him.
"Yes Evan, I saw your battle with AJ, It was good" Mr. Bramble praised,Â
"Thank you, Mr.Bramble" I replied to him.
"But, that is not why I called you here, I wanted to ask what was the ice move you used in the battle" Mr. Bramble asked me.
"It's a move that I created with the help of my pokemon" I replied to him honestly, because there is no reason to hide it because as a teacher he must every kind of moves.
"I thought so" Mr. Bramble said while having a thoughtful expression.
"Evan, What do you wish to become?" He asked me.
"A champion level pokemon trainer who only uses bug type pokemons" I replied to him in full confidence, I am not having any doubt about that because I know I could do it.Â
He was surprised on the confidence I had on myself. He kept looking at me, for few moments and then said.
"If you are going to be a bug type specialist, You need more than a Kakuna and Metapod, I admit, you trained them well, But that's not enough" he spoke to me.
"What do you mean sir?" I asked him.
"Let me ask you another question, Have chosen pokemon, that you will be having as your potential team members?" he answered me with another question.
"Yes, Beedrill, Butterfree, Scyther, Parasect, Venonat, Pinsir, if situation arises another butterfree" I replied to him.
"Oh, I see you have taken the Butterfree mating issue into consideration" He replied.
"But, there are more potential good bug pokemons outside kanto"
"I know sir, But I attain things that are only within my reach" I replied to him.
" How about this, Next week I am going to Alola, to meet a friend of mine and I need an assistant, Do you want to come with me?" He asked me.
"Why me sir" I am not being, but sometimes people don't help with out a reason.
"Nothing, just treat this as an investment" He replied.
" I will reply to you about this, after I speak with my father about this" I replied him, while he nodded his head.

That evening, I sat across from my dad at the dinner table, the smell of sizzling stir-fry filling the room. The TV was playing quietly in the background, but I'd been turning this over in my head all day. Now was the time.
"Dad," I began, poking at my rice with my chopsticks. "Mr. Bramble invited me to go with him to the Alola Region. Can I go?"
Dad paused mid-bite, his eyes narrowing a little. "Why would he ask you?" he said, clearly surprised—and maybe a little suspicious.
I set my bowl down. "He saw my battle with AJ," I explained. "He thinks I've got potential. He said this trip is an investment in me."
Dad leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "So he just… offered to take you to another region? That's not something teachers usually do."
"I know," I admitted. "But it's not just a vacation. He said he needs an assistant—and I'll probably get to see new Bug-types while I'm there. Ones I'd never meet in Kanto."
His gaze softened a little. He wasn't the kind of guy to get emotional, but I could tell he was weighing the risk and the opportunity.
"Are you sure about this, Evan?" he asked quietly.
I nodded. "I am. If I want to become the best Bug-type trainer, I can't just stay in one place. I need to learn more. I need to see more."
Dad exhaled slowly, then gave me a small smile. "Alright. If Mr. Bramble's offering, and it's really for your future, then I won't stand in your way. Just promise me you'll be careful—and call home."
"I will, Dad. Promise."
