Next chapter. Enjoy.

"Alright, Clemont, I'm gonna give you one chance to explain what you meant by; 'Marry my Pokemon'," Linc stated.

"Of course, I'll go into full detail about what I meant when I sent Ms. Smith over to tell you," Clemont replied.

Clemont was a skinny young man with fair skin, blue eyes, and messy medium-length bright yellow hair with a lightning-bolt-shaped tuft on top. His outfit consists of large round glasses, a black shirt under a lab coat, black pants with a yellow belt, and black shoes with white soles.

"But first..." Clemont was currently shuffling around a long table while Linc had a fire ax in hand. "Can I possibly talk you into putting that fire ax down?" He pleaded.

Linc only responded in a monotone voice, "No."

"O...Okay then... Now, what I meant by telling you to marry your Pokémon is that due to their unique bodies- Ah!" Clemont ducked under the table when Linc threw the fire ax at him, getting it embedded in the table.

Linc growled, "Last I checked, Marrying Pokemon wasn't legal anymore."

Clemont peeked out from below the desk. "Well, actually, you've been given a special exception by the Pokémon League. Remember, your Pokémon have not only broken through the natural level limit of 100 but can create new Moves on the fly. When Moves normally take years or decades for Pokémon to create." 

Clemont explained as he grabbed the fire ax lodged into the table. "You're Pokemon are unique and the entire Pokémon Science Foundation is working tirelessly to figure out how it happened and what causes it. In the meantime, the PSF and Pokémon League want you to strengthen that bond further!" 

Clemont then began grunting as he tried in a futile attempt to remove the fire ax from the table. Linc sighed as he then pulled the ax from the table. "Okay, I can strengthen my bond with my Pokemon. But why marriage of all things?"

"Well, it's mainly my hypothesis but..." Clemont explained while he adjusted his glasses. "Just like how your Pokémon's max level, I believe your Pokémon's bond can go even further than just 'Companions' or 'partners'." 

Clemont ducked under the table when Linc glared at him, "Y-Your Pokémon's bodies have become more humanoid, so their evolutionary abilities may have responded to the passion in their hearts from your tender love and care toward them. Remember that several of your Pokemon that don't have evolution lines and still underwent anthropomorphism. So this hypothesis is our only lead so far. This phenomenon did start with you after all."

"Alright, then I guess I can understand that- Wait... 'Started' with me? You mean it's happening elsewhere too?!" Linc exclaimed.

Clemont nodded, "Yes, while you have the most of these Anthromon."

"We're not calling them that," Linc interjected, holding up the fire ax.

"Right." Clemont agreed as he continued, "While you have the most of these cases, while

Linc rubbed his temples as Clemont finished his explanation, "Great... Thanks for your explanation... Now if you'll excuse me, I'll take my leave. Hopefully, I won't start getting calls about them laying Eggs... EVER!!!" Linc exclaimed as he started toward the exit.

"Oh, that reminds me. I've also noticed a change in Egg Types for a number of your Pokemon! So I will also have to ask you to 'do the deed' after you 'tie the knot', so to speak- Why do I smell death's cold breath?" Clemont looked before his face went pale as Linc's aura was fully cloaking him in blackness.

Outside of Clemont's office, Ms. Smith was applying treatment to her face after being scalded by hot coffee being spat in her face by Linc. Ms. Smith muttered, "Note to self, don't give Linc shocking news while drinking coffee." Ms. Smith then felt a twinge of pain as the medicine stung her injuries. "Ow!"

Suddenly, a Clemont-shaped indent appeared in the door to Clemont's office. Ms. Smith smiled and "Hey, Linc, so how about re-joining the Aura Ran-" Linc turned to Ms. Smith and let out a bellowing roar.

******

Linc trudged on his way home, with a fine for assault in his hand cause Clemont's secretary and sister reported him to the police. "Uuuggghhh... Why... Why did this crap have to happen to me....?!" Linc grumbled as he looked at the ticket. "Gonna need to find either a good paying tournament or an odd job that pays well..." Linc then sighed heavily as he sat down on a bench.

'Why couldn't things have gone normally for me... Is this some kinda punishment?' Linc thought then he began to think back to when he first became a Pokemon trainer.

*Flashback 3 Years Ago*

*Ring! Ring! Ring!*

Ms. Smith's voice came through a cellphone, "Aura Rangers Headquarters. Who is calling today?" 

"This is Linc." Replied Linc in a monotone voice, he seemed much different than his current self. Linc's hair was dark grey instead of white, and his heterochromatic eyes seemed almost lifeless and dull with bags under his eyes. He wore a padded silver trench coat with steel-studded gloves and boots. In his other hand was a halberd.

This was Linc back when he was an Aura Ranger.

-Lore: Aura Rangers-

Similar to Pokémon Rangers, Who catch Pokémon with gadgets to calm and control wild Pokémon to help them solve ecological problems, defeat criminals using Pokémon to commit crimes, and arrest Pokémon poachers, acting as a sort of cross between a police officer and park ranger.

Aura Rangers use Aura to fight both People & Pokémon, a rare power for humans and Pokemon to have in the modern era. They use their aura to stop wild Pokémon that Pokémon Rangers aren't able to handle, defeat criminals who either poach, abuse, or misuse Pokémon, usage of illegal items, ensure that Gym Leaders don't abuse their power, and keep their gyms open to the general public. 

Acting more like a Police officer and a Referee, handling problems that Pokémon Rangers cannot as well as ensuring Trainers, be they good or bad, follow the rules of Pokémon Battles and ensure good care to their Pokémon.

"Ah, Ranger Linc, one second, I'll patch you to the Commander." Ms. Smith replied.

After a bit of waiting, another much more burly voice came through. "Ah, Ranger Linc. How's the operation with the Blaziken Flock going?" The Commander asked.

Around Linc were piles of dead Combusken and Blaziken, they were frothing purple foam at the mouth. "The info was right, the entire flock was addicted to Battle Flowers, and they had a whole lot of them," Linc said, looking behind him at a pile of burning flowers, they were burning too fast to make out any detail.

-Lore: Battle Flowers-

A highly potent plant that increases all of a Pokemon's fighting abilities like the X-Series Battle Items but these enhancements are permanent like the Rare Candies. However, this plant is highly addictive. If consumed the Pokémon eats just one, they'll be hooked, craving more and more until they are unable to satisfy their craving, even rejecting normal food and attacking other Pokémon and Trainers, even their friends and partners. If not treated, Pokémon would need to be put down by any means necessary. This plant is currently being driven to extinction by order of the Pokémon League, Regional Governments, and the PSF.

Linc looked back at the carnage in front of him, the carnage he had made. He counted around 45 Blazikens and 62 Combuskens, all victims of Battle Flower Addictions.. His eyes seem to dull out a bit more, becoming almost like glass orbs in his eye sockets. "It's taken care of... And I Quit...." Linc uttered through the phone.

"I see an- Wait wha-" Linc cut off the Commander by hanging up the phone. He then leaned back on the stump he was sitting on to rest for a bit. 

*Kr-Krak!*

When he heard an audible crack that made him jump off the stump. Linc looked at the stump before giving it several knocks on the surface, hearing that this stump was hollow. Linc used his halberd to peel back the top layer of the wood to find a cracked Pokémon Egg. But instead of an unhatched splatter of egg. A newborn baby Torchic looked up at Linc with big glossy blue eyes.

A/N: EMOTIONAL NUT PUNCH!!

Linc stared back at the baby Torchic before it leaped from its eggshell and clung to his leg. "Torchi!" The Torchic squealed out as it nuzzled against his leg. Linc just... Froze... He had no idea what to do, normally when a Pokémon sees him they run in the opposite direction. "Chi! Torchi!" 

'Does it... Think I'm its mother or something...? No... There's no way.' Linc thought before swiftly remembering the carnage around him and the baby Pokémon. Linc then quickly scooped up the infant Torchic and stuffed it into his coat. The Torchic giggled in glee as it shuffled around inside his coat. 'Just get it to the Pokémon daycare,' Linc thought as he ran away from the area.

*****

"Torchi!!!" The Torchic screamed as it flailed in Linc's hands as he tried to hand it to the Daycare's attendant. Clinging to his arm and coat with its beak and talons.

Linc grumbled, "What's the big deal? They can take care of you! Better than I can! Good food, great health care." He tried his best to peel off the Pokemon from his arm.

"Torchi!!!" The Torchic squawked back at Linc, refusing to let go of his arm.

"Sorry, sir. But we can't take a Pokemon that doesn't want to stay. We have a rule that if a Pokemon doesn't want to stay then you" The Daycare's attendant explained. 

Linc then walked out of the Pokemon Daycare with Torchic in his arms, much to its joy. "Torchic! Tor!" It chirped.

Linc held the Torchic up and replied, "Yeah, I bet you are very happy about this..." With a deep sigh, Linc thought of only one thing he was able to do. He had to become a Trainer. Since he wasn't an Aura Ranger anymore, he couldn't just abandon a baby Pokemon in the woods, not legally or in good conscience anyway. "Welp... May as well give this a shot... But... Maybe not in this region..." Linc muttered as he started walking.

*Present*

"Blaza!" Linc was snapped from his thoughts when Blaziken began calling. Linc stood up, popped his back, and walked toward the calls of his First Pokemon.

*Blazing Battle: Blaziken vs. Greninja*

Blaziken and Greninja were sitting on the couch watching a martial arts film. A martial artist was currently in the middle of fighting a group of assassins. While the movie wasn't too engaging, the fight scene was enough to keep them watching. Then Blaziken had an idea when the fight scene ended, Blaziken nudged Greninja and spoke, "Hey, Greninja. How about we spar?"

A/N: Pokemon will be translated when a Human isn't present.

"Why?" Greninja asked.

Blaziken waved her hand, "Just to see how we've come along in these years?" Greninja gave the Blaze Pokemon a look that was like silently asking the question, 'Are you stupid?' Blaziken ignored the look she was getting and continued her pestering, "Come on! Just one round! No Moves. Just good old-fashioned fist-i-cuffs."

"That has to be one of the dumbest ideas you've ever had," Greninja replied, standing up from the couch.

Blaziken then had a devious thought before she said, "I guess that attitude is why Master doesn't choose you for Battles..."

The comment made Greninja stop in her tracks, "What?"

"I'm just saying if you this against a simple sparring match then maybe you're not that cut out for being Master's Partner," Blaziken answered. 

Greninja's temper was reaching its limit as she roared, "Master Linc hasn't picked me because I have been doing my duties to achieve my Master's Desires!"

"Is that also why you wet the bed so many times when you were a Froakie?"

"OUTSIDE!!! NOW!!!" Greninja roared.

*****

Blaziken and Greninja stood facing each other in the field beside the house. As they did some pre-sparring stretches, Greninja thought to herself, 'I can't believe I let myself fall for such a childish insult. I will need to discipline myself after this... Alright, let's make a plan... Blaziken is at max Lvl. 200. While I'm Lvl. 176. That's a 24-level difference. I have Water Type Advantage over her Fire-Typing but she has Fighting Type Advantage over my Dark-Typing. So we're even in Type Advantage. I'll have to play on the evasive to keep away from any strong attacks.'

"You want I should floor you know or later?" Blaziken said with smug grin.

"Maybe this foal attitude of yours is the reason why Master Linc doesn't sleep in the same bed as you," Greninja stated.

With a fierce battle cry, Blaziken lunges forward with a sharp slash from her clawed hand. Greninja narrowly dodges the attack and counters with a powerful axe kick, sending Blaziken crashing to the ground. But the fiery bird quickly regains her footing and leaps into the air, landing behind Greninja and delivering a swift slash to her back. Greninja cries out in pain as she turns around and retaliates with a brutal punch to Blaziken's face, followed by a sweeping kick that knocks her down once again. As Greninja prepares for another strike, but Greninja refuses to give up, pushing back with a fierce dual palm strike that sends Blaziken staggering backward. With lightning speed, Greninja then propels herself into the air, spinning like a top as she unleashes her devastating spinning kick toward Blaziken. But the fiery Pokemon anticipates the move and jumps out of the way.

The two opponents charge at each other once again, their kicks perfectly colliding in a flurry of furious blows. But neither one shows any signs of backing down as they pull back their fists and simultaneously land punches square on each other's faces.

With a swift and powerful kick, Blaziken sent a cloud of sand swirling through the air. The grains stung Greninja's eyes, temporarily blinding her and giving Blaziken the upper hand in their battle. "You said no moves!" Greninja roared, her tongue-scarf flapping as she spat out the gritty sand.

"I don't know the Move Sand Attack, all I did was use my surroundings!" Blaziken defended, panting heavily from the effort.

Despite their exhaustion and injuries, both Pokemon refused to back down in their fierce battle, each determined to emerge victorious in this intense showdown. Every move was calculated and executed with precision, the sound of their clashes echoing through the arena. Sweat dripped from their fur and scales, mixing with the sand that now coated their bodies.

Greninja stumbled back, sand swirling around her as she frantically tried to clear it from her eyes. When her vision finally cleared, she was met with the sight of a flaming fist hurtling towards her. Thinking quickly, Greninja unleashed a flurry of kicks, channeling all of her fury and agility into powerful strikes against Blaziken. With lightning speed, she grabbed onto Blaziken's head feathers and used them to slam her opponent down onto the ground, finishing off the attack with a final axe kick that landed with a satisfying thud.

With a fierce cry, Blaziken leaped up from the ground and spun at intense speeds, her fiery feathers dancing in the air. In one fluid motion, her leg erupted into flames that burned brighter and hotter than before, transforming into an electrifying blue hue that crackled like lightning. 

"Ifrit Jambe..." she muttered through clenched teeth, her focus unbreakable.

Greninja braced herself as the blazing Pokemon lunged forward, crossing her arms to block the impending attack. But it was no use against Blaziken's powerful move: "Bœuf Burst!!!" The fire-type roared as she unleashed a burning kick aimed directly at her opponent's center, creating a spiraling explosion of intense heat and power that sent Greninja flying backward with a deafening boom. It was a sight to behold, the clash between these two powerful creatures, each one determined to come out on top.

Greninja held her stomach as she got back up, the spot where she was struck felt hot and dry. "You said... No Moves..." Greninja groaned out in pain.

"This is just a technique I copied from an anime. Not a Pokemon Move." Blaziken replied with a devious smile.

Greninja then decided to even the playing field, performing several hand signs before gathering water in her hand, which she then began to swirl rapidly as in the Rasengan. 

"Water-Style! Water Release: Rasengan!" Greninja announced before charging at Blaziken. Blaziken smiled before charging with a fierce roar

"KNOCK IT OFF!!!"

Linc, coming back from grocery shopping, smacked both of the two over the head, knocking both out in a second. "You're Tearing Up The Field!!!" Linc roared at the two.
