Reborn In Pokemon With Only Appraisal

Xander and Cynthia were brought into the lab along with the injured pokemon. While the 6 of them were getting checked over and treated, everyone could hear Carolina yelling.

"Damnit! Where are the pokemon that hurt my two babies? Chingling, we are going hunting."

"You two dumb brats! Why didn't you tell an ȧduŀt? You both are covered in injuries! You could have been killed!"

"Where are your fathers? They were supposed to clear out the woods today! If they were slacking off again, see if I don't handle them once and for all."

"Why are you tying the bandage so tight?! Are you trying to make her lose her arm?!"

By the time the kids had been bandaged up and the pokemon were done in the treatment room, Carolina had tired herself and needed to rest. She had been working nonstop so this extra stress really put a burden on her mentally.

The children were going to be brought back to Cynthia's home, but they both insisted on staying in the lab. They didn't want to leave the pokemon they saved behind.

With Carolina asleep, the staff at the lab couldn't force the pair to do anything. They were the little prince and princess of the town.

Although they were usually well-behaved, the two were very stubborn. And this matter, they were truly not moving an inch on.

Thinking that they could let them sleep in the lab until Carolina did something about it later, the researchers gave up on trying to convince the two before bringing a bed into the pokemon resting room.

When Carolina woke up later, the researchers informed her about the two kids not being willing to leave the pokemon's side. When Carolina heard this, she waved her hand dismissively.

"Just let them sleep there, then. It will be easier to keep an eye on those brats if they are staying here," Carolina said after looking at the two figures that were sleeping underneath the sheets

Once she walked out of the room, Xander and Cynthia took the sheets off their heads before turning to each other, giving the other a smile

"Nice plan, Cynthia. Grandma Carolina seemed really angry. We better let her deal with our parents first," Xander said

"Hmm. If they were working as hard as they were supposed to, these pokemon would not have been in trouble," Cynthia scolded their parents

"That's right. At least we kept both of them safe. Do you recognize them? One of them looks familiar, but I'm not sure about it," Xander asked

"I think so. That white one looks like a Vulpix, but those are supposed to be red. I don't know why this one is white. I don't know about the other one."

While the pair were talking, Horus and Gabby climbed into the bed and began to snuggle up to the two children. Seeing their pokemon were safe, the pair gave them each a hu.

If not for their support, not only the other pokemon but Cynthia and Xander would not have made it out of that situation alive.

The pair had to stay in the lab for over a month before their injuries had fully healed. The Mightyena bit into them deeply and scratched them quite a few times.

While they were inside the lab/temporary hospital, Cynthia and Xander took that as a chance to bond with their pokemon more. They also learned about the two pokemon they saved.

The blue pokemon was a Riolu. These pokemon were kind of rare since they usually didn't like to interact with humans. The preferred being isolated in nature or being protectors of animals.

The white pokemon was actually a Vulpix like Cynthia had thought, but it was different from the ones that were usually in the area. This Vulpix was a rare variant from the Alola region.

For it to be all the way in Sinnoh, it must have meant that a trainer had abandoned the poor pokemon.

On the day of Xander and Cynthia's release from the temporary hospital, Carolina brought them to her personal office in the building.

The pair of children and 4 pokemon walked into the room before standing in front of Carolina's desk. In between them were 4 pokeballs.

"I think you two have bonded with these pokemon enough and they have proven themselves loyal enough to enter these pokeballs and become your pokemon."

Cynthia threw one of her balls at Gible while Xander threw both of his balls at the same time to Horus and Vulpix.

The balls made contact with the pokemon before covering them in a red light and bringing the pokemon inside the ball.

Carolina and the two kids looked at the 3 pokeballs nervously as the balls began to shake.

After shaking a few times, a beep could be heard from the pokeballs.

Hearing this sound, Carolina smiled at the two children.

"Congratulations. You just caught your first pokemon," she told the pair as she patted their heads

The two children had goofy smiles on their faces with the new realization that they were officially trainers now.

Xander was about to say something when his vision went blurry and he fell to the ground.

He could see Cynthia, Carolina, and Riolu all around him and moving their mouths but he could not hear what they were saying.

'No. A different life.'

Xander memories and personality began to blend with Archer's. It was hard to tell if Xander was Archer all along or if Xander was just inheriting what Archer had left behind.

No matter which, when he woke up the next day, Xander's entire perspective had changed.
