"Ma!? Ma reep!?" ("Huh? Say What!?") I can't help but crying out in surprise, before I looked down in embarrassment as I have just done something that is considered rude to a respectable elderly like Grandpa Noctowl.
(A/N: Yeah.... Even the monsters here have manners. The young respected the Elderly, but only for those who are worthy of that respect.)
"Noct noct noct noctowl noctowl noctowl."("It seems that you don't know about your own origin. But it is okay, dear child. If fate wills it, there will be a time in the future when the day you get to know who you really are coming to you.")
....
Ah, where am I before? Oh, right, I remembered the tales told by Wise Grandpa Noctowl about humans when I see some of that people and their pet monsters...., or what they called as Pokémon as I am running in maximum speed due to being chased by a swarm of petty Beedrills hot on my tail.
*Trailblaze!* *Cotton Spore!* *Trailblaze!*
As I spammed my two green energy move despite being born with affinity to the zappy yellow energy, I noticed something about the group of humans and pokemons far away in front of me.
They seems to be walking straight to my direction?
Oh no! If this goes on, they might be crossing their path with the swarm of bugs behind me!
I can't change my direction abruptly because I am already on my maximum speed.
If I tried to make a turn and change my direction while running like this, there is a risk that I may stumbled and fall over while making a turn.
But if I were to reduce my speed even for a little bit, then I will be taking the risk of that swarm of hot headed bugs to be catching up with me.
"Ma reep Ma reeppp Mareeppp~!!!"
Huh? No response? Oh, maybe because I am speaking in my monster tongue instead of using the human language, so that those humans didn't understand that I told them to run away?
"Ruun! Ruun Aawaaay~!!!" I tried to shout at them in human's language, but then I see that instead of running like I told them, now they are just stopping in their tracks while they are all looking at me.
Huuh? Are those people retards?
Or maybe my words didn't shout clear enough?
After all, I am shouting while running which of course make my words have a break here and there due to my panted breathings.
Huuffff huffff gotta try once again then, hufff hufff.
"Whaat aare you doing? Quuiickly ruun aawaaay!" After I gathered up my breath while I am still hot on the heels to escape the buzzing sounds that come from behind me, I then tried shouting at those humans and pokemons using the human language that I somehow know from the moment I hatched from the egg.
...
After that, well, I totally didn't expected what would happen next.
Those humans and pokemons work together to deal with the swarm of bugs behind me.
I have not even have time to shout another warning before the team of human and pokemon that only have the number of half that of the swarm to sweep clean all those annoying bugs in less than a minute.
I look at that spectacle without blinking my eyes....
Wow, they are all so strong.
Not only that, their teamworks are also amazing.
Is this what the Wise Grandpa Noctowl means by "the strong bonds between human and pokemons" that he mentioned in his tales?
And after all of that ended, the man who seems to be leader of the party invites me to join his "family".
Oh Arceus above, am I still dreaming right now?
....
As I am reminiscing from my memories in the past up to the events that happened just now, I am suddenly awakened by a soft nudge on my left.
Looking up, I see three creatures that called themselves human along with six of their pet Pokémons who are all also staring at me.
With nine pair of gazes looking at me at the same time, even I can get embarrassed and have no idea on how to response, okay?
...
Ahem, ahem, in the end, I am agree to become part of their family.
That human seems to be like the good ones in the tales of the Wise Grandpa Noctowl.
At least he is asking for my concern to be "captured" by him instead of just straight out kidnapped me and imprison me in those tiny little balls that are dangling around his waist.
I believe with his strength and his Pokémons, he can forcefully do that to me if he wants it.
But in reality, he didn't do that, which happens to be a plus point in my books, too.
It is all still feels like a dream comes true to me, though.
Now I have a family, no longer alone anymore, something that I have always wanted to get ever since I am aware of the concepts of "relationship".
(End of Mareep Moemon's Point of View)
(Back to our Protagonist, Jovanna's Point of View)
I gives myself a thumbs up in my mind as I successfully catch the first ever Moemon I have in my real life (not inside the games).
Good job, me! 😁👍
I then proceed to scan the pokeballs that contained my newly captured Mareep Moemon to my PokeGear to register her as a Pokémon under my name.
*Ding*
A message prompt then appeared on my PokeGear screen.
[You have registered a Mareep as your Pokémon. Do you want to give her a nickname?]
[Yes] [No]
Of course I would pick yes.
Hmmmm, now this is quite a predicament....
When it comes to naming a girl, my brain would immediately comes up with too many ideas that I sometimes felt overwhelmed.
Like for example, how about Mary? Like in the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb"?
Since it is a Mareep (Mary + Sheep), then it is a very suitable name, right?
But then what about when my Mareep evolved to a Flaafy and then finally to Ampharos, would I need to change her name, then?
Like naming her Flavina when she became a Flaafy and then Amphida when she reached her final evolution as an Ampharos?
Unlike in the games when you need to find a certain old man who worked as a Name Rater just to chamge the name of your Pokémons, here in this wacky Pokémon World you can change the name of your Pokémon simply by changing their names that are registered in our PokeGear at anytime in any place as long as our PokeGear are connected to the Pokémon League's Registration Server.
But still, renaming my own family members times and times again would make me look like an indecisive person, so I would like to refrain from that. (Although from time to time, I am often tempted to try changing the name of my Pidgeotto from Phinia to Gloria. Her appearance as a Pidgeotto looks so glorious, after all.)
Moving on, let's go with another name, how about Rebecca?
I still remember watching a cartoon about a family of animal documenter who happens to have a daughter who can talk with animals after she received a mumbo jumbo spells from a Shaman, back in 2004 we have an episode of the Father giving his farewell to an old friend of his, an old female Elephant he named Rebecca, that he claims means "thunder".
That tear-jerking episode when they let go of the old elephant who soon passed away in the middle of her packs gives a strong impression to me.
But then, I thought about it, if I give her a name that is inspired from a dead person, would that looks like I am cursing my newly gotten moemon to follow her footsteps in death soon?

[ ] Author's Note [ ]
At first, I actually planned for the Moemons to have a distinct style of speech, like adding an onomatopoeia or additional "flair" to their words.
For example, a cat Moemons like a Meowth, Delcatty or Urugly would have "nyaaa" often added at the end of their speeches.
Or a Grass type Moemon would substitute some words with the names of plants. Like, when they are saying "It's time to eat." They will say "It's thyme to eat."
I think that idea is good, but now I am stumped at what would be the speech style of a Mareep (sheep) Moemon sounds like? Should I make them prolonged the consonant letters in their words like when the sheep making a "baaaahhh baaah baaahh" sound?
😅🐑🐑
Please tell me if you think it is strange, didn't like it, or if you have an even better ideas
