Chapitre 4: First Evolution!
The four of us have all but claimed this area as our own personal domain to use it as we see fit. While practicing with each of my forms I take advantage of their unique traits to help out our own situation. By using scratch over and over again, sometimes even during some spars with one of the girls, it skyrocketed the skill's mastery quickly and resulted in it reaching 100% mastery within a week.
[Mastery of Scratch has reach 100%! Scratch will now evolve into the skill Slash.]
"What? My skill went through an evolution!" This is definitely an unexpected boom for me. Lately my excitement of being a pokemon has reached sky high levels. When Scratch reached 50% Mastery I could even use it in my human form too. It generates a small nearly translucent energy in the form of small claws on my fingers when I activate it. Came in handy when I started carving cut up branches and logs to help in making a shelter for Aya.
Turns out my little cave haven is barely large enough to fit me and the girls, so we decided to try and build each of us individual shelters. Aya has found herself a nice sized tree and desires tree house and started working on her blueprints with the paper she bought from her phone shop with the money she received from it. Chao on the other hand developed a common trait that is inherent in most cultivation novels and finds the cave to her liking. Eve is planning on building herself a nice little cabin, normal for most human beings who dwell in isolation within forests. Well.... mostly human considering her half devil lineage. I personally can find comfort in sleeping anywhere depending on the form I take. Hell, last night I slept in the stream as Froakie haha!
Eve: Your Scratch evolved into a higher ranking skill? The games never had something like that before.
"I guess since it's not game, but our new reality that makes it possible. Let's be real a pokemon wouldn't be limited to only 4 skills or a small number of PP for usage of their abilities. It's natural that after using a certain number of skills a pokemon would get tired either by physical exhaustion, mental fatigue, or run out of natural energy when it comes to special attacks. The limit of MP, PP, or whatever kind of energy points in game wouldn't work out in reality."
Eve: True.
"How is your training coming along? Awaken your devil form yet?"
Eve: No, not yet. My swordsmanship mastery is going up nicely, though not enough to slice a tree down in a single blow but it's still good progress. My aim with my handgun has improved as well. I love this gun! Named her Blood Rose and Red was nice enough to engrave the name on the barrel.
Eve was rubbing and hugging her gun affectionately. She is gonna be a real devil before long and her gun is going to spill plenty of rose colored flowers upon the corpses of her foes. Kinda fitting for her. As we were chatting an explosion goes off nearby and when we look over Aya is laid out on the ground with her arms and legs sprawled out and ash covering her face and hands.
"Looks like she failed again."
Eve: Yeah. Maybe explosive paper wasn't the best starting point for her sealing career.
"Agreed. Can't wait until she can starts writing gravity seals. Our training speed will gain a boost from that point on."
After our talk we went on our own way to continue working on our own things. After mastering Scratch and gaining Slash, I started focusing on Charmander's other skills. I did gain Ember a few days ago which made me pretty happy considering this form lacked any special attacks and ranged attacks. I even learned Smokescreen and being an idiot as I am, decide to cast the skill on the spot and flooded our cave with smoke for at least an hour much to the girl's displeasure. Haha, I learned from that and decided to just test any new skills away from our clearing. Smokescreen can be advantageous since I have recently started learning how to sense Aura in my human form much more naturally. So I can cast Smokescreen and home in on my victim just by sensing their Aura and take them out unaware.
These are the skills I can now use in my human form after reaching 50% Mastery in them in my transformed state.
Scratch.
Endure.
Quick Attack.
Counter.
Feint.
Pound.
Bubble.
Quick Attack.
Lick.
The skills like Endure, Counter, and Feint went up really fast when I started sparring with others. It's hard to guard yourself properly when Feint flow through them quite easily. I have a feeling that armament haki users will suffer when I start running into them. Possibly even a certain Barrier devil fruit user. His only hope would be to just trap me in his barrier rather than protecting himself with it. Counter requires proper timing to perform properly and it comes with the risk of taking an attack head on to succeed. Endure is also a proper back up should Counter fail in the end which happened quite often.
Using Quick Attack in my human form require practice, considering it was a change in height and weight which is also a factor in using it and affects the momentum. Bubble is an interesting attack and feels kind strange spewing bubbles from your mouth, but luckily the mastery carries over as well so I don't need to start over. According to Dex if another pokemon has the same skill you don't have to start over from scratch which makes training a new form less trouble.
Finally, Lick is a very weird skill for me to use. Considering it somehow expands my tongue to great lengths feeling and looking strange. I used it during a spar with Aya and couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing her look. The paralysis effect works wonderfully as well leaving the target immobile for a few seconds leaving them open for a follow up attack. Aya is just as ticklish in this life as she was in our last one. She fell prey to the combined tickling of the rest of us until she was free from her status effect.
[Soma has reach the peak of this form's power. Evolution will occur in 3.....2.....1.]
"What?" Before I can react my body begins to glow brightly and I am engulfed into a rainbow colored ball of light floating a few feet off the ground. My body, I can feel it changing. Strengthening, it's form growing and changing gradually until...
[Evolution complete! Your Froakie form has evolved into Frogadier! Frogadier has learned Water Pulse!]
I burst out of the ball of light in my new form, like a balloon popping sending confetti flying everywhere. Almost sounded like glass shattering. I stretch my newly grown limbs to a feel for my evolved form and grin.
'Alright!' I croak like a frog happily. The girls rush over to check out my evolution.
Aya: Wow! You really do evolve like a pokemon. Now you are one step closer to being a literal Frog Sage young ninja Frogadier!
Eve: Seeing an evolution in person is quite insightful and fascinating.
Chao: I agree!
"Your body and foundation pills did speed up the process Chao." I say after transforming back into my human form. He pills, at least the ones she succeeded in making speed up the evolutional speed and growth up quite a bit. All of us are benefiting from her alchemy and that rare flame of hers boosts the success rate and effects of the pills by a decent amount. Our foundations can't be any better! Her Body Refinement Stage is already at the 4th Rank!
Aya: True! Who needs talent when you have some damn good drugs yo!
"Hahaha! Good thing this world doesn't have the DEA..."
Eve: I'd be more worried about every animal rights and preservation agencies trying to capture and isolate you.
Aya: Or the government trying to dissect you for being suspected of being an alien.
Chao: Well, Caesar Clown would probably do that anyways.
"Really now, I heard gas can be quite flammable. I'd like to see that creep try."
Aya: Gonna work on your other evolutions now?
"Hell yeah! By the time we leave Dawn Island I want all of my original 3 pokemon to be leveled up. Hopefully my partner wakes up soon so I can train it too."
