"But first of all, we'd better leaving this place."
"Scree."
Next to me when we—I mean I was walking and Honedge was floating quietly to reach an area with two-three tree around.
I blow slightly through my nose, and a small idea came up in my mind.
I lifted my head, and look at Honedge casually flying next to me.
"—What could I possibly name you?"
I looked up at him.
"...Well, you can't just stay with "Honedge" as your name."
I leaned slightly, looking down at him from top to bottom.
"In addition to that, you're basically my First Pokémon."
His sole blue eye stared at me.
(—Now I think that all his looks is more funny than anything.)
"...And so one, I have a few idea in mind, so hear me out."
Then what followed is ten minutes of me proposing several different names, but it seems that he is a bit too picky for a Sword.
"— There no way you're going to be this picky, firstly you're a practically a blade."
A pause to think.
"...A living one or rather a haunted one."
Another pause to think again.
"...A Pokémon with a No Guard, to assure that you always it the target."
My eyes came up to him.
"—And sadly no KO move in your moves set."
" Now that I think about it, you should at least have one like execution in your moves set."
I felt a thrill.
"...Oh."
I smiled slightly.
"...Execution."
I think a little bit about it.
"...It a little bit long but certainly not more cringe than Excalibur."
I leaned my head.
"... and by reducing it, it would do something like..."
"...Exe."
A short silence.
Then—
The ribbon hugs around my me, more firmly this time.
"Scree!" ✨
I let go of a little laugh.
"...Ok."
"...Exex then."
—PING—
Suddenly, a high pitched noise made me jump, and immediately warning Honedge newly named Exe.
And the source of se was simply a panel that popped just in front of me.
[ LINK ESTABLISHED ]
[ PARTNER REGISTERED: EXE ]
"...Oh."
I blinked.
"So he really had one and it's only active now?"
A second panel appeared.
════[ INVENTORY ]═════
[Smoke Ball ×3] [Honey Gather (Talent)] [Camping Gear] [Mysterious Egg [PokeBall ×5]
════════════════
(—Ahhh... I completely forgot that I had it was something with me.)
But for the Pokéball?
Suddenly, the image of Professors Sycamor and Kukui appears in my mind.
(...Thank you again for your help.)
I touch the screen and select the Pokéball, I select one of them and it immediately appears on my harness.
Which was pretty surprising to me because I thought it would appear in my hand or somewhere nearby.
(Well, anyway, so much what's there.)
I take it in my hands and I hold in my hands the most iconic object of all Pokémon, even if it was still in mini mode.
(—Hmmm....if I remember correctly in the anime, he usually presses a button?)
I press the small button on the back of the ball and it immediately increased in size.
Then I turn my gaze on Exe, who is always floating next to me and is looking at me with curiosity. ́
"Screee?"
"So, can you stay still a moment?"
Exe tilted slightly towards me, and so one, I tapped the Pokéball in his head ?
—Click—
A red ray wrapped Exe disappearing into the sphere without resistance.
The Pokéball fell to the ground.
⭐️⭐️⭐️—CLICK—⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'll stare at the Pokéball for a few seconds, holding it in her fingers carefully.
A smile, this time more sincere, appeared on his face.
"Welcome to the team, Exe."
The Pokéball barely vibrated, almost like a heartbeat.
Then immediately after the panel that always displays the inventory its update.

═══════════════════
I took an inspiration, not very surprised, speaks of the current little movement of Exe.
(We'll take care of it later, for now, he has to always stay at my side now.)
I press the Pokeball button.
-Flash-
Exe reappeared, and soon reappear exactly the same place and the exact same position as it was all time.
"Officially welcome to the team, Exe."
Exe vibrated slowly.
"Scree."
I nodded my head.
The plain has not changed during my rambling with Exe, but I am sure that this area is filled with unpleasant surprise.
And so Exe and I spent the last 10 minutes walking in a random direction. During this period of time, I have been thinking about my goal in this world and what I really want to do right now.
And for a rather fruity period in reflection.
(— Exploring this world is probably not a bad idea.)
Then in the same way of thinking, a realization my comings to mind.
(—But I should probably firstly find a place where I can—)
—CROAK—
(—Ehhh!!)
And even before I could grasp what had just happened, my vision suddenly changed everything, at the moment I felt like I had and propelled backwards at full speed.
When my vision returned to normal, I was head on the reverse inside of a monstrous filled with sticky and very odorous mucus.
