Chapter 43: Route 8
(Richard POV)
"This kid gets weirder and weirder as time goes by," Kukui said as I was writing down everything we had collected today.
"I agree", I said while thinking about the new Pokémon I haven't seen till now.
"What type of Pokémon do you think it is?" Kukui asked me, which made me start thinking.
"It's a bug type", I said.
"Why? Because it looks like one," Kukui said sarcastically.
"Yes", I said with a wry smile.
"What if the Pokémon is like Lurantis? Which looks like a bug type bug, actually another type." Hearing what Kukui just said made me think, though, somewhere in my mind, it says something else.
"Kukui, all his Pokémon are bug type" I didn't answer his question; instead answered with another sentence.
"Yeah, So?" Kukui asked, not understanding what I meant.
"Suddenly, he gets an egg. And from it comes a Pokémon we have never seen or heard of, so I would say this again, the chances of that Pokémon being a bug type are high," I answered confidently.
Hearing this, Kukui stayed silent, thinking on his own.
"Maybe", Kukui just mumbled, then we two became silent, thinking things out on our own.
Evan's Journal

The next day,
(Evan POV)
Today's journey brought me to Route 8. Route 8 is a strange mix—dense patches of tall grass, cliffs with open ocean views. I was walking with Elsa in my arms. Since she is still a newborn, I thought I could carry her in my arms, though Thorn did look jealous when he saw her in my arms. Well, I don't blame him. That time, I was inexperienced. It took promising lot of promises and treats to make more happier.
As soon as I stepped into the first patch of tall grass, a pink blur came charging at me like a plush cannonball.
Although a normal human would find it hard to dodge, especially with a Pokémon in his hand, I am not one. Bugforce passively enhances my body, not to a superhuman level, just a slight enhancement.
I shifted my body slightly as the pink blur passed by me. Mr. Bramble and Kukui didn't mind because they knew I could handle myself. I turned back to see what Pokémon it was; it was Stufful.
As soon as it landed, Elsa, seeing someone attack me, was about to jump at him, but I stooped and I let out Grip from his pokeball.
"Charr..."
"Grip use electro web", I said, and hearing that, he shot out a web that flowed electricity and shot it at Stufful, which precisely hit Stufful. It stopped him, as the web got him stuck along with the current, which was hurting him.
"Now, Grip uses ThunderShock and finish it", I said.
Which grip followed giving thunder shock on the stufful and making him faint. Seeing him faint, Elsa made a happy sound at Grip.
'Is it just me or the Pokémon weaker? Or is Grip getting stronger? It looks like I should follow up on my new Pokémon so that they could get stronger, and the Pokémon here are not a challenge for my three aces.' I thought.
I didn't think more about that and gave the Stufful a peach berry, then went forward with Professor Kukui and Mr. Bramble.
As we walked further into the pathway, we saw more Pokémon, mainly a mushroom-looking Pokémon, in the dark shade of trees. They are Morelull, they are the nocturnal Pokémon that stay in the dark even during the day, they are a fairy/grass-type Pokémon. So without any delay, I captured more and more pictures of them.
There were also apple-like Pokémon resting on the tree; they were pink in colour, and they were Bounsweet. They are pink in colour with a green cap, they are pure grass-type Pokémon, they also jump here and there, and they are usually an outgoing Pokémon. Like earlier, I also took pictures of them. Though I, before I forget, I had one more task here.
