Stardew City - 6:30 - Training - Day One
Damn, six-thirty again.
Anyways, I'm feeling great today. I have just woken up from my beauty sleep and can soon start training Feebas.
Such a great day.
I'm not moving. I'm too lazy. Who wakes up at this time on Sunday?
[ System initialization... ]
What? I made it clear two weeks ago that I had no System. Are you trying to humiliate me?
[ System installed successfully. ]
" Hello? "
[ Hello, Elijah. Please, speak in your mind. ]
' Alright, why are you here? '
[ I have been made for the readers' convenience. ]
What?
[ To help you see what you couldn't in the past with my only function, the -Status-, nothing more, nothing less. ]
' So you won't help me cheat in life? '
[ No, according to my analysis, you are not the type to rely on cheats. I was supposed to help your Pokemons get stronger by implementing the game's leveling system. But you seem to look down on this method, thinking it is only superficial strength granted by the System. ]
' It is. Such an insightful System. '
[ The System won't give you anything but information about yourself and your Pokemons. Are you sure you want to continue? I can still add some functionalities while I'm new in your mind. ]
' Yes, the -Status- is enough. '
[ Please, say -Status- in your mind with the intent to open it. ]
' Status. '
[ Name: Elijah Durant
Age: Eighteen
Title: Reincarnator
Condition: Healthy
Ability: Psychic
Pokemons: Feebas ]
[ This is your current state. ]
Am I a Psychic? What the f*ck?
' System, did you make a mistake? I've been in this world for more than three years, and I have never awakened any Psychic ability. '
[ It is not a mistake. You are a talented Psychic. ]
' Since when? '
[ You have been one since your reincarnation, the process of going from one world to another and fusing two souls enhanced your mental strength to an absurd degree and made you a Psychic. ]
' Why don't I know? '
[ You should know, you have used it multiple times. The state of extreme concentration you were in when you made Pokeblocks and when you detected the best eggs amongst the six at the selection are examples of you using your Psychic abilities.]
' So that's why I was so tired after making the Pokeblocks? '
[ Indeed, despite having excellent fitness, your Psychic abilities are untrained, thus consuming a lot of energy. ]
' I see. How do I train then? '
[ The System can't help you too much. You'll have to find out on your own. ]
' Forget about it. You said I could see my Pokemon's status? '
[ Yes, say -Status- While thinking about your Pokemon. ]
' Feebas, Status. '
[ Name: Feebas
Gender: Female
Type: Water
Condition: Healthy
Potential: Excellent
Ability: Adaptability
Level: One
Total Base Stats: Two hundred
Moves: Splash, Dragon-Breath, Haze ]
Holy sh*t. Who are this girl's parents? She already has three moves at birth. My girl is a genius.
' Wait, why is there a Level? You said that you wouldn't do it. And how do -Excellent- potential rank? '
[ The Level is only for reference. It doesn't act upon the Pokemon. Instead, it indicates its growth. An average Pokemon at Level fifty has the strength of its Level, But an excellent Pokemon at the same Level can be stronger or weaker if not taken care of right. Wild Pokemons are usually average. ]
[ As for the potential, There are ten ranks, going from None, Low, Medium, High, Superior, Leader, Champion, Excellent, Unmatched, and Perfect. ]
[ Each rank represents a Level cap, signaling the end of its growth. For instance, the best Pokemon with -Excellent- potential won't go any higher than Level eighty. Your Feebas being in the lower end of the -Excellent- rank is theoretically limited to Level seventy-three. Evolution and proper grooming can augment the Pokemon's potential. ]
I nodded, the ranks are clear, and my Pokemon is talented. I wonder how they got her?
' Thank you for explaining, System. By the way, what is your name? '
[ My name is System. ]
' So I don't need to name you like in the fanfics? '
[ I don't have a soul to speak of, I am only here to do what I was assigned to, no need to overthink it. ]
' So you won't develop a personality and fall in love with me? '
[ No. There is also no need to make a body for me to live in so I can join your harem. ]
' Great, and who wants a harem? I am as faithful as it gets, and I like someone already. I will never hold hands with any other girl than my future wife or family. '
[ Host is understanding. Call me if you need anything, I may not be authorized to help you at times, but I was programmed to provide a great user experience. ]
' Thanks, and let's stop talking. I need to get ready for training both my Psychic abilities and Feebas. '
Seeing the System staying silent, I got up from my bed and did the same preparation I always did, caught Feebas, who was happily swimming in the rainbow water tank in her Luxuryball, and went down the stairs to the living room.
My mom is sleeping on the couch. I'll go out now without disturbing her and call later.
I got out of the house equipped with my backpack containing mystery items and went towards the forest outside of the town. It is called Stardew Forest and is also the same one I mentioned yesterday, containing public ruins.
Living on the edge of Stardew City, it barely took ten minutes to the forest reach by sprinting,
The City air may be way cleaner than it used to be, but it still felt great to breathe in the forest.
I soon stood in front of a clear three-meter deep stream going through a clearing.
I released Feebas and sat down under one of the trees on the edge of the clearing to catch my slightly heavy breath.
" Feebas. "
The Pokemon turned her head to me. Even newborn Pokemons can somehow understand their trainer's words.
" We will be doing light training today, alright? "
Feebas nodded? With her whole body? Anyways, I continued.
" I brought you some equipment. You are a fish, and it's hard to train your muscles, so I'll have you swimming against the current in the stream. "
The stream may be small, but it goes fast. I pointed at my bag and said.
" There are some weights in the form of a belt to put around your body. I will also give you rainbow Miltank milk at regular intervals. "
Feebas won't be training her moves today. Her stamina is non-existent and not enough to use anything but -Splash-.
I like to think of -Splash- as an impressive evasive move. Sure, it has no effect, but it feels like it allows you to evade any concentrated attack randomly. It's like the move -Flail- but with no damage.
" You"ll be swimming in the stream with no weights. When you get used to it, We'll add some. "
I grabbed Feebas and threw her in the stream. It ends in a hundred meters, and danger is non-existent. There is no chance of her getting lost.
With that done, I sat down again, thinking of a method to train my Psychic abilities.
I only know one technique. -HyperFocus- I call it. My previous experience was enough to enter or exit the state anytime with some concentration.
Taking a deep breath, I willed myself to enter the -HyperFocus-.
I noticed how magical it feels now that I can look properly. My perception of time has slowed down, and my sense could pick up a lot more than before. The colors I could see are also more vivid.
My reaction speed has also increased, but my physical parameters are the same as usual, so I feel as slow as a turtle.
Hmmm, what is that? There is some fluid permeating my head. Is it my Psychic energy or something?
[ It is your Mental Power. ]
' System? '
It stopped talking. Anyways.
I may have subconsciously manipulated my Mental Power to achieve the -HyperFocus-.
I exited the -HyperFocus- and willed my Mental Power to come out of my body through my hand.
A red-pink substance soon came out of it, coating my fist like some liquid armor. It looks like Nen from HxH.
I found my fist more powerful, but not by a large margin. I'm a Psychic manipulating Mental Power, and boosting my physical capabilities is not within its principal functions.
I started to make it move through my body. Each time, the part I permeated felt a bit stronger.
It even made my little brother hungry.
I then flooded my body with Mental Power, entering the -HyperFocus- again, but this time, my body could catch up with the slowed time perception and augmented reaction speed.
I'll call it the -HyperState-.
My naming ability is going through the roof.
I know what you are thinking. That -HyperFocus- is useless now that I have the -HyperState-, but no. The latter provides less improved mental capabilities to make space for the taxing physical augmentation, which has a limit.
I relaxed and retracted my Mental Power to seemingly nowhere.
[ Your Mental Power comes from your soul. ]
' Thanks, I guess. '
[ You are welcome. ]
*Blop Blop*
I started to focus on my surroundings and saw Feebas in front of me. She was exhausted. I looked at my phone and concluded it was time to eat.
I poured some rainbow Miltank milk into a bowl and had her drink it.
Five minutes later, the bowl was empty, then Feebas enthusiastically returned to training.
I might as well continue.
Stardew Forest - 18:00 - Training - Day One
We continued training for hours until the sun started setting.
Today's training was quite monotonous. Feebas swam in the stream against the current, taking fifteen minutes every hour to rest and drink rainbow Miltank milk. By the end of the day, she was swimming comfortably with ten kilograms of weight.
As for me, on the other hand, I exercised my Psychic Abilities by continuously entering and exiting the -HyperFocus- and -HyperState- alternatively and circulating my Mental Power in different patterns and trying to use it to draw shapes in the air.
The last part was hard, barely successful. I could only make simple things like small spheres or cubes.
We also had some bonding time during our pauses. Feebas is clingy. I hope it stays the same after evolving.
It was almost time to go home, so I gathered what had been used in my backpack again and caught Feebas in the Luxuryball before departing towards StarDew City.
This time there were a lot of Pokemons on the way back. They must have been asleep this morning. After all, who goes out to start a day-long training at six-thirty?
I first went to the Pokemon Center to check on Feebas's health. The System said that the training has been wearing her out. It is a gigantic building.
I entered through the sliding door. Inside was similar to a mall, with multiple healing stations and no nurse joy.
People were passing through, most with Pokemons in their hands.
Since Pokemon technology is not as advanced as it should be, the healing stations can only heal minor damages.
The whole building also serves as a hotel and big PokeMart.
I went straight to the nearest free station and asked the nurse.
" Hello, miss, I got a Feebas there. I want her checked and healed. "
" Your Pokeball, please. "
I handed over my LuxuryBall to her, and she put it in a machine similar to the one we see in the game.
The machine lit up, and some data appeared on a small screen. The nurse tapped on some touchscreen buttons to seemingly print a paper, which got out of the machine. She then gave back my LuxuryBall and the print.
" This is your Feebas' health report. It costs ten Pokedollars. "
What? Do I need to pay?
" So expansive? "
I said while taking out some cash.
" Yes, if you were a licensed trainer, it would cost only one Pokedollar. "
" I"ll keep it in mind. "
I then exited the Pokemon Center and went home as fast as possible.
