บท 16: Take Over Magic - Pikachu
Gaal suddenly had this thought flash through his mind.
He then contemplated the glowing sources of various Pokémon ahead of him.
Looking closer at the Pokémon sources before him, he noticed that the points required for these Pokémon weren't high; the ones glowing were mainly first evolution types, while some behind were second and third evolutions.
As for the Legendary Pokémon or those with high base values, they were still completely dark, in an inactive state.
Gaal focused on the Pokémon sources in front of him.
[Squirtle Source: 1000 points]
[Charmander Source: 1000 points]
[Pikachu Source: 1000 points]
[....]
[....]
[Nidoking Source: 3200 points]
[Blastoise Source: 3200 points]
[Charizard Source: 3500 points]
Gaal looked at the numerous sources and chose to activate the Pikachu source.
As the thought settled, his points decreased by one thousand, the Pikachu source shone a bit brighter, and the points required underneath the Pikachu source sculpture disappeared, seemingly indicating it could be used permanently.
Gaal was slightly surprised; it was actually permanent.
He then activated the Take Over Magic.
No magic circle lit up.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Gaal, who was sitting across from Gray, vanished.
Gray, who was focused on eating, abruptly noticed a bright flash in front of him and looked up to find Gaal was gone:
"???"
Looking around, he found no one there:
"Brother Gaal? Brother Gaal?"
Suddenly, Gaal's voice came from across the room:
"I'm over here."
Gray turned toward the sound, feeling confused—there was no one there!
He tilted his head down to look at the seat opposite him, but all he saw was a yellow.... rodent?
"Are you.... Brother Gaal???"
In Pikachu form, Gaal waved his little paw:
"Keep eating. I'm just researching Take Over Magic."
Gray nodded blankly:
"Oh, oh."
Since there was nothing wrong, he continued eating.
Speaking of which, he seemed to recall Ultear mentioning Take Over Magic.
What exactly was Gaal taking over? It looked so weak, like a rodent?
Gaal, of course, was unaware of Gray's thoughts.
At this moment, having transformed into Pikachu, Gaal looked down at his body, flexing his little yellow paw.
He felt a difference within himself compared to his human form; it was almost a primal instinct as he activated various Pikachu moves.
Zzzzt—
It seemed that with just a thought, he could unleash all of Pikachu's skills anytime.
For example, Thunderbolt and the like.
Gaal felt his Pikachu form closely.
Unlike his human body, being Pikachu greatly enhanced his resistance to electricity.
This indicated that his Take Over Magic truly let him become Pikachu.
Not just enhancement based on his human condition.
Why was that the case?
Gaal pondered as he gazed at the source space before him.
The once bright representation of the Pikachu source statue had turned white; did that mean the source was taken by himself?
And in front, an Arceus statue stood brightly, indicating....
Was the high brightness suggesting it could be activated at any moment?
The Arceus template source was originally the one he extracted at the beginning.
Because he took over Pikachu, was it replaced?
The corners of Gaal's mouth twitched.
Could that be the reason?
The strongest Pokémon.... system.
He remembered when he first crossed over, he had drawn the strongest trainer system, which had condensed his body into a human shape.
Then he encountered spatial turbulence that interrupted the extraction.
He was forcibly transported to Fairy Tail.
Yet the body still formed into a human, but upon the system's next draw, it turned into the strongest Pokémon system, acquiring the Arceus template source and merging it with his human body.
So....
These sources, in other words, were like templates.
By activating the Pikachu source to take it over, he directly became Pikachu.
Because he was supposed to be.... a 'Pokémon.'
With this Take Over Magic, after receiving the Pikachu source, it was equivalent to replacing his original Arceus source; he should now be known as the strongest Pikachu system....
Realizing this, Gaal quickly released the Take Over Magic.
Whoosh!
Light flared, and he instantly transformed back into his human form.
Gaal let out a sigh of relief.
He was glad to be back.
It seemed that such unknown things shouldn't be attempted lightly in the future.
If the Pikachu source replaced the Arceus source and couldn't revert, it would be a serious problem.
Gaal glanced back at the source space.
The Pikachu source statue had regained its brilliant color.
Meanwhile, the leading Arceus source had turned white.
Gaal scrolled down; although many Pokémon sources were now available, they were nearly useless to him, mostly for entertainment purposes.
Even if Pikachu were powerful, it couldn't match Arceus.
However, there were certainly advantages; the key was that physical attributes would synchronize after source activation.
Just now, transforming into Pikachu, although electrical resistance was high and mental intensity and telekinesis were intact, the physical strength was genuinely that of a Pikachu.
Compared to his human form, it was significantly weaker.
If Gaal himself fought, with a single attack, he could easily defeat his Pikachu form.
But....
There were many Pokémon besides Pikachu.
Groudon, Kyurem, Rayquaza—all had extremely strong bodies.
Their physical strength surpassed Gaal's human form immensely.
He hadn't forgotten the time when Gildarts faced the Black Dragon Acnologia; in one instant, his body was torn apart, losing an arm and a leg, nearly losing his life.
The physical strength of Black Dragon Acnologia was far beyond that of a human.
Though Groudon and Kyurem had powerful bodies, the activation points required for their sources.... made Gaal's teeth hurt just thinking about it.
He might as well wait until the system was sufficiently repaired to accumulate points.
Gaal researched the Poké sources for a while; besides Pikachu, he also exchanged for several unique ones like [Gengar Source, Dragonite Source, Steelix Source....]—Pokémon with special attributes or speed defenses far exceeding those of humans.
Before long, Gray finished his meal and stretched:
"Phew— Brother Gaal, when are we leaving?"
Gaal looked up at the clock in the center of the dining hall:
"In two hours; let's take a break."
Suddenly.
Gaal paused.
He stared at a newspaper precariously about to fall from the table below the clock.
Raising his hand, he pointed at the newspaper.
With a rustling sound, a piece of paper flew up and swiftly landed in Gaal's hand.
There was a photo in the corner of a group of prisoners being escorted.
The headline read:
"[Magic Council cracks down on sultry crimes, initial results seen; suspects arrested....]"
The subsequent content revealed that some low-level Mages were using magic to carry out schemes akin to honeypots, coercing ordinary citizens for money.
But that wasn't the main point.
In the photo of the escorted suspects, Gaal spotted a familiar figure:
"That Gildarts guy.... What is he up to?
