Chapitre 12: The Training Diary - Year 2 / Part 2
Year 2 Months 10 Day 1 271 - Log 10:12 P.M - End of Week 40
Week 1-2: These weeks, I concentrated on 3 things in particular: 1st, completing my templates; 2nd, researching Dusknoir's situation; and 3rd, studying Pokémon potential and tactics against them.
The first goal I completed rather quickly. Aomine's template was finished in the first week, and once done, I studied poisons for Suma's template. I studied how to make, engineer, and cure poisons with what I had, which was quite easy when you understand how things react with each other. I also have an affinity manual for the poison affinity. The replacement for Aomine was Koga, starting at 20%, mainly due to his knowledge about Poison-types. That's the only difference between him and Suma.
For the second goal, I started with research on the Reaper Cloth before getting into the Pensieve. I found out that the cloth is somewhat directly related to the spirit world. I mean, that was obvious since it was in the name—a Reaper Cloth's real name is Spirit World Cloth—but the question is, how is it related? My theory is that it could be one of two things: 1) It comes from the spirit realm to the material world when a Duskull appears. If this is the case, then why? 2) It's a tether or rather a piece of a cloak/veil that covers the spirit realm. But if that's the case, then how does a Dusclops obtain one to become Dusknoir? All that aside, the problem Dusknoir has only arises when it becomes one, so obviously, the issue lies with the cloth and where it comes from.
The answer to the last goal came with the Gravity Zone and Oceanic Zone—both would help immensely. I had control over gravity when using it, but the other one was put on unpredictable mode. Tsunamis, riptides, whirlpools, and undercurrents all at random. The deeper I went down, more the training became effective, it's down side was that it's incredibly dangerous. This will help me develop better tactics, especially if Alphas can reach the level of that Alpha Machamp I met. Though the Alpha Golduck is only of the Alpha variant, he seems like an arrogant prick too—that's an advantage. However, even if he seems arrogant, he also appears honorable enough. But I might need to find a way to fight while asleep if he ever decides to put me to sleep, psychic might and/or aura would help.
Week 3-4: These weeks consisted of 3 main focuses—well, 4 if you count tactics: 1st, completing my templates for Suma and Koga; 2nd, research on poisons, Poison-type Pokémon, and Poison-type energy; and 3rd, research on the Reaper Cloth and aura. As you might have imagined, by the end of these 2 weeks, I finished both Koga's and Suma's templates, replaced with Glacia and Leonara, both starting at 76%, mainly because they follow the same principles for training. The only difference was that Koga knows about Poison-type Pokémon.
That's why I also spent time studying poison as a goal during the week. What I found is that poison is the simplest form of energy and the most complex at the same time. Poison is something that can ruin anything—emphasis on "anything." It can be a substance just as much as it can be a person, an emotion, or even a word. But something that can bring ruin to others can be easily prevented by either staying away or building an immunity to it.
Now, my last goal was something important, but it isn't something that has an easy answer. The leading theory is that Duskull feed on spirits rather than on emotions like other pure Ghost-types. For example, the Misdreavus line feeds on fear, the Shuppet line feeds on sadness or hate, the Sinistea line feeds on the life of its drinker, Spectrier feeds on the life force of the sleeping, the Greavard line feeds on attention, and Gimmighoul feeds on the life force of those who touch its coins. If they don't feed on something, they have an object to anchor them to the material world, like Yamask with its mask, Cursola with its ectoplasm, and Gimmighoul with its chest.
The only Pokémon similar to the Duskull line is Gimmighoul since it also has both qualities. The difference between the two is that those of the Duskull line don't inhabit a body, only a shell. So here are 2 more questions that could provide better answers than the Reaper Cloth theory if answered properly: 1) Why doesn't the Duskull line inhabit a body and only a shell, unlike the rest of the Ghost-types? and 2) Why is there a consequence for a pure Ghost-type having both qualities? Since it's either an anchor or feeding off a state of being.
Week 5-6: The goals for these 2 weeks didn't change much: 1) Finishing my templates; 2) research on Normal-type Pokémon/Energy and Ice-type Pokémon/Energy; 3) finding answers to the questions I posed.
It took the full 2 weeks, but I finished the templates, with Itsuki's on the very last day. I've said it before that she is crazy, but I couldn't blame her after seeing her memories. The people around her were also psychopaths—she was just a bigger one. They were replaced by Cynthia at 56%, Cayde-6 at 19%, and Roland Deschain at 21%. Now, for the second goal, studying both Ice and Normal-type energy along with their respective Pokémon was fulfilling, to say the least. Starting with Ice-type energy, it's interesting due to its nature. It's an element that represents a solid—or better yet, a sealed—state of being. This can manifest as being cold, rigid, insensitive, intolerant, and sometimes even hateful toward something. But it also represents a state of readiness to face something.
Then there's the Normal-typing, which is, to me, the most complicated of the 18 types since a state of normalcy isn't fixed. What is considered "normal" for one person might be extraordinary, bizarre, or even incomprehensible for someone else. Normal-type Pokémon embody this flexible nature because they often defy specific elemental traits (like fire, water, or electricity) and instead reflect everyday experiences that, in their own way, are extraordinary. Another angle to consider is how extremes become normalized over time. For example, Slaking is a powerful yet lazy Pokémon—its overwhelming strength paired with an indifferent attitude might seem like a paradox. But for Slaking, this balance of lethargy and immense power is its normal. In the broader scope, even highly unusual behaviors can become normalized in certain contexts. A sudden shift in climate, routine, or culture may seem extreme, but given time, people—and Pokémon—adapt, creating a new sense of normalcy. Here are 2 more examples: 1) A normal event like coming up with "crazy" theories for me is different for someone else since it could be seen as straight-up insanity; 2) Dreaming—everyone dreams, but no two dreams are the same. Sure, they can be incredibly similar, but never exactly the same.
From the beginning of the month until now, I posed questions about Dusknoir's situation, and this last week I figured out answers to those questions. Recently, I got to witness the arrival of a Duskull—yes, arrival, not birth. What I witnessed was a "space" that seemed to bend into the shape of a bubble, and when it made a complete bubble, it detached and gained color, as well as one singular eye. I say space, but I don't believe it to be space. Rather, it's probably the veil or cloth separating the spirit world and the material world. If that's the case, then a Reaper Cloth must detach itself from the veil to repair it. And if all that is true, then it would mean its shell is also part of the veil—something that seems darker in nature than it actually is, which would explain why people are afraid of it when they lay eyes on it. It would also mean that it feeds on the life force provided by the shell around its body, and the shell feeds on the life force of those around it when it's in need.
With all that figured out, I can now start looking into the Pensieve. Since now I know it's nature of being won't interfere with it's mind should I tune out something
Week 7-8: Apart from the usual training, I checked out the Pensieve Blueprint and spoke to the Alpha Pokémon, Dusknoir, and Golduck. The Blueprint came with a manual, and after reading it, I can confidently say that, with Dusknoir's help, I can reengineer it to take and disperse memories rather than just view them. All I need are Reaper Cloths, which my home is providing, and Dusknoir's help in building it, since I don't have magic.
By the end of the week, I visited both Alpha Pokémon. I told Golduck that I would fight him in exactly 5 months and to prepare for a battle that could take longer than a day. By then, I should have finished at least one ranged template. Next, I told Dusknoir about my plan to build a prototype of the Pensieve and later a better version underneath the city I plan to build. He was eager to help, and we agreed to build it over the next month. I also visited Alpha Aipom and Alpha Blissey for help planting seeds to revitalize the land. I planned to plant Gracidea grass seeds, peach potato seeds, golden carrot seeds, and popcushroom seeds in the mountain areas, along with golden apple seeds, berry trees, and fruit/vegetable trees, bushes and plants.
Year 2 Months 11 Day 1 299 - Log 9:23 P.M - End of Week 44
This month, I focused on a few key tasks: studying coding and programming, modifying Hexbot designs, creating new variants to suit my needs, and training my templates. If I had extra time, I also planned to look at other blueprints to finish my Nikola Tesla template faster. Here's a summary of my progress:
Regarding templates, Tesla's is now at 83%, Cyade-6's at 46%, Roland's at 51%, and Sasaki's is at 82%. I completed Shinomiya's template by the second week and replaced it with Choji Tomiyama's, which started at 64% and reached 81% by the end of the month. Choji's progress is primarily linked to his MMA-style martial arts. However, it's the basic mastery, which, while good, isn't as advanced as my other combat-oriented templates.
I spent the majority of the eight weeks training my templates and studying coding and programming. Once I understood the fundamentals, programming became simpler, though still time-consuming. A simple program takes me about 2 weeks to complete, more complex ones require 4 weeks, and revolutionary projects would take around 8 weeks—assuming I have a clear idea of the goal.
After figuring out the basics, I designed several Hexbot variants, including:
- Excavator = for digging
- Painter = for painting
- Shaper = reshaping materials
- Underwater = aquatic repair, minor tasks, and exploration
- Agri = agricultural work
- Enviro = maintaining and cleaning the environment
- Flame = firefighting
- Hazard = hazardous material cleanup
- Gatherer = collecting materials
- Wildlife = monitoring and preserving wildlife
- Study = studying everything from wildlife to weather
- Recycler = transforming waste into something useful
I'm really proud of these designs. While some have similar functions, each is specialized for different tasks, and some are larger than others. Once the city is built, I'll likely keep the Flame, Hazard, Wildlife, Study, and Enviro Hexbots active within the city. Outside the city, I'll add the Underwater and Agri Hexbots with charging stations and data deposit points to the list. The rest I'll keep for use when I need to build or work on larger projects.
In my remaining time, I focused on reviewing the different blueprints and studying the affinity manuals. I've now acquired all eighteen typing affinities, but I still need power manuals for aura and psychic abilities. As always, I continue documenting all my discoveries in books, as you never know when they'll come in handy.
Year 2 Months 12 Day 1 327 - Log 8:33 P.M - End of Week 48
This month, I started building all the Hexbots and continued training. I'll begin with a review of my templates, as usual: Tesla's is now at 85%, Cayde-6's at 57%, Roland's at 68%, and Sasaki's is at 84%. I finished Chōji's template by the third week, then replaced it with Yūto Kusumi's template, which started at 79% and reached 94% by the end of the month.
The rest of the time, I was overworking myself to complete the building process for the Hexbots. I made them solar-powered or added water turbines with spare batteries, just in case. I managed to finish the following: Heavy, Light, CMHS (Construction Material Hauler Support), Painter, Underwater, Flame, Enviro, Wildlife, Hazard, and Study Hexbots. These were either the smaller ones or the medium-sized ones. All that remains is the programming and coding, though luckily, only a few require completely different programming. Since some share similar functions, the variation in programming should be minimal. Overall, it will take about a full month to complete the coding for these Hexbots.
The remaining Hexbots to build are: Big Quad, Excavator, Shaper, Agri, Gatherer, and Recycler. These ones are much bigger and more complex than the others. Some will require multiple tools from different categories to handle their assigned tasks. I did, however, begin work on these larger ones, but they're not finished yet. Like the completed Hexbots, the programming for the larger ones will be similar but with added, replaced, or reworked pieces of code to accommodate their size and complexity.
This will add another month. Altogether, I'm predicting another 2½ months to finish all of them, plus another 2 months to make at least 20 of the bigger ones and 30 of the medium/smaller ones. All of these will be made with mithril for both the exterior and interior. Additionally, there will be extensions like a diamond-concentrated laser for cutting or welding, and certain parts will be made from tungsten or titanium for added durability, just in case. This will make them heavier, but not so much that it will impede their functionality or cause breakdowns.
Summary:
The small and medium-sized Hexbots are done, while the bigger ones need about a week more to complete. The programming and coding for the small/medium Hexbots will take me a month, and for the larger ones, an additional 4 weeks. Then, I'll need to produce more of them: 20 of the bigger ones and 30 of the medium/smaller ones, which will take another 2 months. In total, it will take 3 months and 4 weeks to finish all of them and correct any mistakes I make. Between the months 15 to 18, I should be finished and ready to start building the city, provided I beat Golduck.
Year 2 Months 13 Day 1 355 - Log 7:24 P.M - End of Week 52
This month, I finished building all the hexbots and started creating the programs and codes. As usual, I also focused on training: Tesla's template is now at 86%, Cyade-6's is at 66%, Roland's is at 74% and Sasaki's is at 85%.
I completed Yuto's template by the first week and then replaced it with Seiryu Sakaki's template, which I finished by the third week. I replaced that with Haruka Sakura's template, starting at 86%. I wrapped up the month with 60 spins.
Regarding the hexbots, I nearly achieved my goal. The construction of the larger ones was completed, and I finished the programming and coding for most of the smaller ones. The only ones left are the Wildlife and Study hexbots. Next, I'll start working on the bigger ones.
For the spins, I did: 20 item spins, 10 template spins, 20 Pokémon spins, and 10 ability spins.
The 20 Items I Received:
Poké flute, Rainbow wing, Beast ball x3, Key stone, Muscle band, Drake fossil, Vegetable and Fruit package, Soul dew, Silph scope, Z-ring, Armor fossil, Life orb, Reaper cloth, Griseous orb, Miracle seed and Gracidea water grass seeds. Then I got money 75 942$ + 45 872$ + 54 972$ + 32 058$= 211 844$ - 90 000$ (for the spins) = 121 844$ + 716 964$ (which I already had) = 835 808$ being what I now have. For the bonuses: Eternium (DC) and Senzu Beans x10 (Dragon Ball).
I removed everything from my inventory except for the fossils and Poké Flute. I also decided to take out the following items: Incenses, Super Potions x5, Poké Balls, Dubious Disc, Feathers, Full Restores x5, Zoom Lens, and Mega Ring. From the package, I received seeds for every normal fruit and vegetable from my previous world, including the extinct ones. This was much more than I expected.
The 10 Templates I Received:
Hanafusa Hajime, Shozan Matsuo, Yanagi Ryuukou, Jun Guevaru, Colress, Winona, Bede, Hisako Arato, Kenjiro Shirabu and Kuroko Tetsuya. The bonus was Elliot Alderson (Mr. Robot).
The 20 Pokémon I Received:
Scorbunny (2 families of 4), Rufflet (2 families of 4), Budew (2 families of 4), Pansage (Pair), Dratini (2 families of 4), Mareep (2 families of 3), Rockruff (2 families of 3), Numel (Pair), Growlithe (2 families of 4), Tentacool (Pair), Shinx (Pair), Swinub (2 families of 3), Snom (2 families of 4), Axew (2 families of 3), Trapinch (2 families of 3), Rookidee (2 families of 4), Togepi, Houndour (Pair), Tynamo (Pair) and Sandile (2 families of 3).
The bonuses were an Articuno egg with a timer set for a year from now and a Toriko Beast Pack. The Toriko Beast Pack contained: Bubble knuckles, Doctor lobsters, Antkoro mochis, Puffer whales, Battle wolves, Aloe frill-neck lizards, Doctor fishes, Fire bears, Bacchus whales and Bearbees.
The 10 Abilities I Received and What They Do:
- Microwave finger: Can mildly heat up food with a finger, but not much else.
- Minor illumination: Can produce a small, dim light; useful for finding things in the dark but not for significant visibility.
- Static cling: Can generate a small amount of static electricity; only effective at making hair stand up or causing mild shocks.
- Enhanced reflexes: Faster reaction times.
- Bodily Secretion: Enables the user to naturally produce and release fluids or substances from their body at will, only as liquid, from the pores of the skin or other organ attached to the body. As long it's from the produced from the users body then its possible.
- Mentalism - telepathy: The ability to read or communicate with others' minds.
- Energy absorption: Can absorb energy-based attacks or powers.
- Healing aura: Generates a healing aura that gradually heals those around you.
- Seismokinesis: Users can create, shape, move, control, interact and manipulate vibrations. A mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point.
- Cryokinesis: Users can create, shape, and manipulate ice, along with freezing water into a solid state. As an elemental power, cryokinesis has a nigh-limitless number of uses, only limited by the user's imagination and their natural limits.
The Bonus ability was:
- Active mirror neurons: Ability to empathize deeply or mimic actions observed, limited to what the body can do.
Year 2 Months 14 Day 1 383 - Log 8:52 P.M - End of Week 56
This month, instead of focusing solely on programming, I trained specifically for my upcoming battle with Golduck, continuing the programming on the side. I finally grasped the basics of a useful technique, one that I'm also trying to teach my Pokémon:
- Unihemispheric Sleep: I discovered this while studying dolphins and attempted to replicate it. It's a phenomenon found in some animals, like dolphins, that allows one hemisphere of the brain to sleep while the other remains awake.
I reached a point where I can switch this on and off at will, though it takes about 3/4 of a second to transition from fully awake or half-asleep. My goal was to learn this skill and reduce the time it takes to switch between them. In the future, I aim to master more complex tasks while it's active. The downside, as you might expect, is that I can't go all out while half asleep and half awake, which prevents me from performing tasks that require my full attention. Additionally, I can't be forced into sleep by anything, but I am more susceptible to confusion. To counter that, I've been training my senses.
Besides working on mastering this skill, I continued programming and coding the hexbots. I managed to finish both the Wildlife and Study hexbots. However, I suspect there might be some errors that could cause malfunctions, so I plan to review them after my fight with Golduck.
Now the final the result for the templates by the end of the month: Tesla's template is now at 87%, Cyade-6's is at 69%, Roland's is at 77% and Sasaki's is at 87%. I completed Sakura's template by the second week and then replaced it with Hector Doyle's template at 53% to 67%.
Year 2 Months 15 Day 1 411 - Log 7:58 P.M - End of Week 60
Finally, the month has arrived, the one where I face Golduck. I trained for 7 weeks at home, which means I'll be ready to face Golduck by Wednesday. During my training, I pushed myself to monstrous levels of intensity because I needed to finish Doyle's template, which I managed to complete in 4 weeks.
Throughout my training, I focused on honing my senses—touch, hearing, resistance to blood loss, and resistance to electricity. I achieved this by fighting all my Pokémon simultaneously, either defending or fighting back if they got within range. I did so without using my sight, taste, or smell—relying solely on touch or feeling. After each sparring session, I alternated between relying on hearing or touch, using only one at a time. Additionally, I deliberately inflicted cuts or gunshot wounds on myself to test my resistance to blood loss, and during each sparring session, I was shocked with increasingly stronger or longer doses of electricity whenever I was touched or touched something myself. A lot of the Doctor Aloe was used for both sides.
By the end of the training, I had developed the ability to sense and "see" things by touch and hearing, with a range of up to 20 meters around me. The closer something was, the clearer it became. My wounds bled less, even in vital areas, as long as they could be closed in time. Although I can still feel electricity, I can withstand up to 3,000 volts without severe harm—any more than that, and I would be in danger.
Now, for the results of the templates by the end of the fourth week: Tesla's template reached 87%, Cyade-6's was at 74%, Roland's hit 81%, and Sasaki's reached 89%. I completed Doyle's template and replaced it with Yanagi Ryuukou's template, which is at 48%.
The results of the training effects on the templates by the end of the seventh week: Tesla's template is now at 88%, Cyade-6's is at 80%, Roland's is at 85%, Sasaki's is at 91% and Yanagi's is at 52%.
On week 8, which coincides with Wednesday of the fourth week of the month outside, I fought Alpha Golduck as promised. However, the fight didn't last as long as I expected. I'm fairly certain he would've tried to kill me if I hadn't promised him some upgrades to his turf if he won. Well, I would've had to follow through even if he lost, just more focused on improvements for the sea.
My fight with Golduck:
The fight began on Sekiro's mark, and we stood about 50 meters apart, each sizing the other up.
As soon as it started, Golduck immediately tried to put me to sleep with Hypnosis. But thanks to my unihemispheric sleep ability, his attempt failed. I had anticipated that move. So, imagine his shock when, instead of collapsing, I sprinted straight toward him, closing the distance in less than half a second.
By the time I reached him, Golduck had recovered from his initial surprise, but it was too late—I had already struck him with Seiken. His face twisted in pain, his breath coming in wheezing gasps. The force of the blow pushed him back. I didn't let up, chasing after him with my speed, and followed up with an Apnea Rush. This time, Golduck was sent hurtling through two trees, only to be stopped by a third. I noticed he used Endure at the last moment—a clever move. Without it, he would have been down for good. I couldn't press the attack immediately, though. The downside of Apnea Rush is that it leaves me winded, forcing me to pause and regain my breath.
Golduck seized the opportunity and used Double Team, creating two after-images of himself. Despite this, I kept my focus on the real one. I saw him use Bide, followed quickly by Calm Mind, while his clones used Helping Hand, hurling themselves at me with Fling. I reacted instinctively, countering with two Nukites, dispersing the after-images. But that brief delay was all Golduck needed—he had set up a Future Sight.
That's when things got strange. I could sense something forming around me, like ripples in the air. It started with one presence, then multiplied. As I closed in on Golduck, he met my gaze and unleashed Chilling Water, the attack speeding toward me. Strangely, it didn't affect me. Instead, the water froze as it approached, likely due to my cryokinetic abilities reacting unconsciously. Golduck's eyes widened in shock again, and this time, his beak froze solid as well.
Panicking, Golduck tried to break free by using Brick Break on the ice. But I was quicker. With a swift Harite, I shattered the ice surrounding him, though some of it remained, keeping his beak frozen. Though, that was enough to end the fight. Golduck, his head slamming into the ground from the force, was knocked out cold.
The fight lasted around 5 minutes. Much shorter than it could have been if he had been serious from the start.
After the end of the fight:
After Golduck was knocked out, the Future Sight he had set up finally triggered. The strange presences I had sensed earlier erupted into action. The ones closest to the ground exploded, leaving potholes in the earth, while those near the trees caused bursts of energy, stripping the bark or shattering branches in violent explosions.
When Golduck woke up, we talked. I offered him a rematch, now that he knew a little more about what I was capable of. However, he declined, saying that while I had fought honorably from the start, he had tried to end the fight in one quick move, which he now saw as dishonorable. He admitted that it was a lesson in not underestimating an opponent, and expressed gratitude that he learned it from someone who wasn't trying to kill him. He added that maybe we could fight again in the future. In the end, he accepted my proposal for the city, and as a thank-you, I cooked a meal for him and his people, as well as their Pokémon. I told him that I would return in approximately 1 to 3 months to begin the project.
Year 2 Months 16 Day 1 439 - Log 8:53 P.M - End of Week 64
It's a new month, and my focus has been divided between programming, coding, and training. The training was similar to the previous month, and here are the results:
By the end of the third week, the progress on the templates was as follows: Tesla's template is now at 90%, Cyade-6's at 82%, Roland's at 87%, Sasaki's at 91%, and Yanagi's at 66%. During training, I concentrated on understanding the Way of the Void, the martial art practiced by Yanagi. My only advantage is that Yanagi is well-versed in it. Nonetheless, I continued to train with the other templates as well, often integrating elements from different ones.
This month, I completed the programming and coding for the larger hexbots. The most time-consuming variants were the Gatherer, Shaper, and Recycler. These three required extensive coding, consuming the entire month compared to the others, which needed only minor adjustments and additions. The programming for these three is distinctly different and belongs to a separate category. I should be done with this somewhere near the start of next month
I was nearing completion by the end of the month, having finished programming for the three major hexbots. This allowed me to better allocate my focus and time.
By the end of the eighth week, the results for the templates had improved: Tesla's template is now at 91%, Cyade-6's at 86%, Roland's at 91%, Sasaki's at 91%, and Yanagi's at 87%. During this period, I primarily focused on Yanagi's template while also practicing my gunner templates on the side.
Year 2 Months 17 Day 1 467 - Log 8:49 P.M - End of Week 68
In the next month, the first task I completed was finishing the programming and coding for the last variant of the hexbots. I then trained relentlessly, with the intensity increasing compared to previous months. My training became even more crucial after discovering who Elliot Alderson was and learning about his role in the film. It was vital to integrate his template into the assimilating system as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, due to my dwindling supply of Doctor Aloe, this would be the last opportunity I had to train in this manner. Here are the results:
By the end of the fourth week, the progress on the templates had improved as follows: Tesla's template is now at 91%, Cyade-6's at 93%, Roland's at 95%, and Sasaki's at 92%. I completed Yanagi's template and replaced it with Elliot Alderson's, which is currently at 72%. During this period, I focused primarily on Yanagi's template while also practicing my gunner templates on the side.
With Alderson's template, I reviewed all the programs I had written, correcting any mistakes, which weren't many. I also took the opportunity to add a scanning feature to enhance self-innovation, allowing the hexbot to learn and improve its functions over time as well as share between them what they scanned, on it's own, making them more efficient, faster, and so on. I incorporated additional small functions into some of the hexbots as well, while implementing restrictions and rules to ensure they did not exceed their intended functions. This was completed by the fifth week.
For the remainder of the month, I focused on increasing production. I managed to create 20 more of the smaller hexbots and 10 of each type of the larger hexbots. Seeing the progress, I decided to ramp up production to 40 of each type of the larger hexbots and 60 of each type of the smaller and medium ones. I'll need these for the future Victory Road, and fortunately, I already know the Pokémon on that side, which should make it easier to gain their approval. In all honesty, they might let me in exchange for food.
By the end of the month, the results for the templates were as follows: Tesla's template is now at 93%, Cyade-6's at 96%, Roland's at 97%, and Sasaki's at 92%. I finished Elliot's template and replaced it with Kuroko Tetsuya's, which started at 72%. My assumption is that the initial high percentage is due to Kuroko primarily applying his ability to his techniques. Despite the different techniques, mastering his misdirection ability is the main focus. It's something I should teach my Pokémon as well if I can.
Year 2 Months 18 Day 1 495 - Log 8:49 P.M - End of Week 72
I managed to reach my target number of hexbots within the first six weeks. By the end of the seventh week, I had built an additional 10 smaller ones and 2 larger ones of each type, bringing the total to 70 smaller/medium hexbots and 45 larger ones. For power, I used lightning stones—3 for the smaller ones, 5 for the medium ones, and 10 to 15 for the larger ones, with some spare stones as backups. Additionally, I equipped them with small solar panels, water turbines, and wind turbines for alternative power sources, just in case.
For the hexbots I plan to leave out in the open around Hisui, I added a backdoor system to allow for remote updates or fixes in case of malfunctions. When I eventually create a satellite, this should make things easier. Given all of these preparations, it should take about 5 to 8 months for the hexbots to complete the city and a new version of Victory Road.
By the end of the seventh week, the progress on the training templates was as follows: Tesla's template is now at 93%, Cyade-6's at 98%, Roland's at 99%, Sasaki's at 92%, and Kuroko's at 82%.
Kuroko's misdirection technique turned out to be more challenging than I anticipated. While I did manage to get the hang of it, I haven't reached Kuroko's level of mastery. So far, I can diminish my presence to the point where it seems like I've disappeared for about one minute. I also tried the reverse—making my practice sword disappear instead of myself. That was even harder, and I could only maintain it for 30 seconds before its presence equalized with mine.
Next, I combined misdirection with unihemispheric sleep. Using both together, I was able to maintain misdirection for five minutes, as long as I didn't perform any strenuous actions. If I did anything too intense, I would draw all the attention back to myself. Other stimuli seemed to pass through people's minds but didn't fully register. I tested this by using misdirection during a battle with my Pokémon. I believe it's only a matter of time before I can switch seamlessly between disappearing and becoming the center of attention at will.
At the start of the eighth week, which was midday Thursday, I visited the Alpha Pokémon to inform them that I was about to begin construction. I explained that the project would take between 5 to 8 months to complete. After that, I activated 35 small and medium-sized hexbots of each type, along with 22 larger hexbots of each type. I instructed the StudyHexbots to observe the Alpha Pokémon's way of life for about a week. This observation period would allow them to replicate the necessary conditions when they eventually move.
I also left the hexbots with an abundant supply of materials, seeds, and anything else they might need. If anything was missing, the hexbots were equipped to recreate it themselves. I had previously programmed one of the hexbots to scan my home and the building plans for Glacier Terrace in the Alabaster Icelands, using its scanner to ensure a strong foundation for construction. Additionally, I had the hexbots scan the bools I made, the blueprints with their manuals, local plants, soil, trees, berries, spices, fruits, vegetables, metals, stones, evolution materials, stat-boosting items, Mega Stones, Tera Shards, Z-stones, gems, memory-type discs, drives, the Arceus Plates, Pokémon and themselves.
After explaining the plan, I went to find Iscan to inform him that things were going to get loud for the next 5 to 8 months due to the construction. I mentioned that if he was curious, he could check out the progress of Tarsia Plum City, but I advised him not to interfere with the work, which seemed to confuse him a bit. I also let him know that next month I'd be near Veilstone Cape, in case anyone wanted to find me there.
After that conversation, I began my journey to Veilstone Cape. By Saturday, I arrived and spoke with the Alpha Pokémon in charge there, letting them know that I would be starting construction nearby the following month. I also requested that they allow the StudyHexbots to observe for a month. The Alpha Pokémon in the area were Purugly and Octillery, with a Machoke stationed further down. I ended up cooking for everyone again during my visit.

Few Things to Say:
- This chapter was around 6 000 words.
- So after doing some more research on the region I found out that Hisui is set 150 years before the start off ash's journey, so I'm just going to go with that it and it makes things easier.
- It will be separated into 4 parts, to make it readable and not overbearing and by the end of it i will update the auxiliary chapters.
- Constructive Criticism
- Ideas
- Draws
