章節 2: The Joys of Being a Pokémon.
After having a nice snack of some fish I caught from the stream, I head back into my cave to have my first experience in transforming into a Pokémon. Sitting here thinking about it I still don't know what to do here.
"Hey Dex, how exactly do I transform anyways?"
[All you have to do is picture the Pokémon you wish to transform into and then channel a bit of your energy into the technique.]
"Sounds easy enough." I begin imagining myself becoming one of the three Pokémon forms I have available until... "Transform! Charmander!"
My body begins to glow brightly and I can feel my body being altered on a cellular level, a surreal experience to be sure. A few seconds later my transformation is complete and I feel myself let out an adorable little cry of excitement. Glancing down I flex my tiny little reptilian fingers. I have successfully transformed for the first time.
'Wow! This is awesome.' I say to myself, yet in the form I am now as a Charmander I just cry out with it's signature cry. 'Seems like it's more like the games rather than anime. Suits me just fine considering I never did like the weird Pokémon calling out their own name thing. I can still expect Pikachu calling out it's name since the later games used it. The series mascot gets to keep it's appeal then.'
Surprisingly enough it is quite simple to move around in this new form. Swinging my arms around, flexing my tiny little claws, waving my burning little tail around like a dog. I dash around the room to further get use to my tiny new body and cry out further role playing as the Charmander I am now just for the fun of it. You know that saying right? 'When in Rome.'
'Let's see... if I recall correctly a Charmander's starting moves are Scratch and Growl.'
[That is correct.]
I walk over to the PokeDex I left on the log I carved into a makeshift table and open up the statistics app with my clawed finger and move over to the moves page and look at it.
__________
Scratch: 0% Mastery.
Growl: 0% Mastery.
__________
'I assume that getting mastery of the skills to 100% means I can use them more without getting tired and they will be more effective. Right Dex?'
[Correct. At your age and with very little experience at using the skills, you can only do so much before getting tired. Just by practicing the skills can help you improve them, but the rate of mere training like that is going to be slower than using them practically in the midst of battle.]
'So actual fights improve the skills faster. Good to know. That means my only real experience until I unlock random encounters at the age of 10, I can only rely on the random wild animals on this island, mountain bandits, or the occasional pirate.'
[To become truly strong in the future it is best to build up your foundation for further improvement. When your able to challenge other opponents your strength will then skyrocket the further you push yourself.]
'Right!' I nod before I leap out of the cave opening onto the ground below and plop down on my butt after a busted landing. Laughing embarrassingly at my slip up I stand back up and rush towards some nearby trees where I spotted a few birds just perching innocently, minding their own business. I Growl at them causing them to fly out in panic. Sniggering at the sight I focus on the tree and use Scratch on the tree leaving some small, thin scratch marks on the bark.
'Hm... It's a start I guess. I'm but a young little Charmander after all. Next up Froakie!'
My body glows and begins to change shape into a whole new form. Once the transformation is complete I glance at my form's little white, three fingered hands and flex them softly multiple times. Unlike Charmander and it's upright form, Froakie is hunched down on all for in a typical frog stance. Now that I get a good look at my arms and legs, their a little lighter than I remember for Froakie's coloration.
[That is because you have randomly received a shiny color variation for Froakie.]
'Ah! Shiny! Lucky!' Well if I'm lacking anything, it's definitely not luck. Maybe I should raid a casino or something later.
I hop towards the tree I have been using as my training post and slap my hands towards it multiple times using Pound to leave a few shallow dents in the tree bark.
'Froakie's starter moves are Growl, Pound and Bubble if I go by what I remember from the games.' I hop back a few times, open my mouth to inhale deeply, before exhaling strongly firing of a small number of Bubbles towards the tree and watch as they burst blowing off a few bits of tree bark. I could definitely feel the energy drain when I used the special attack.
[It is as you noticed. Using regular physical attacks will not require the special energy dwelling within your body, as it is merely your physical form launching the attack. Although once your proficiency reaches a certain level you can channel energy into the attacks to deal greater damage.]
'That is good to know.'
I hop towards the stream and leap in to go for a swim and find it quite easy to move around. A perk that comes with being a water type Pokémon. I chase after a few fish to help improve my body's maneuverability in the water. I move very clumsily at first but after 10 minutes I can turn my body quickly on the go and kick my feet to dart myself forward for in a short boost of speed. The fishies still elude me but I'll get one yet.
'This is kinda fun! If a Froakie can move like this in the water I can only imagine how fast Pokémon like Horsea, Staryu, and even water powerhouses like Lugia can go when their in the water.'
After a chasing around some fish for another 10 minutes I launch myself out of the water straight up, aim my opened mouth at my favorite target tree, and fire off another Bubble attack before falling back into the stream. Hitting the target squarely. I leap up a few more times taking potshots at the tree, occasionally firing off Bubbles from different angles and even firing them while diving in each direction. Firing while moving is much more difficult than firing while your moving in a direction thats not straight up. Once I feel the energy within my body nearly empty I climb out of the stream and rest on the shore upon transforming back into my human form. I need to catch my breath after that little exercise.
"Haaa... haaa..... I never knew I could get so tired easily."
[You are only 4 years old. The fact that you didn't get tired sooner is more attributed to the fact that you were a Pokémon in it's natural environment. A little detail not officially mentioned is the fact that the usage of a Pokémon's ability in it's natural environment will be more effective and it's strain on it's energy consumption will be lesser.]
"I see. Since I was in the stream my energy costs was lower that it would have costed on land. Well that was an hour well worth spent as the future ninja of the seas. Saved my favorite for last."
After resting enough for my energy to replenish I get up and transform once again. After the glow settles I am now in the form of a small, blue canine creature. Black legs and torso, a blue tail, and a yellow collar. On the back of it's forepaws are rounded silver bumps. From my reflection in the water I can see it's black "mask and it's cute little red eyes. As I run around I notice that it is far more comfortable running around on my toes in this form compared to trying to stand on my feet fully, a peculiar trait of the common Riolu. I feel Arms, tail, and even ears with a smile as I notice how fluffy and soft my fur is. if I wasn't transformed and it was my partner as the Riolu, I would most definitely cuddle away with this bundle of softness. Glance into the stream and if I focus enough I can see the Aura the fish give off. As I sense these Auras the two black appendages that hang down from both sides of my head rise slightly. They move only when I try to manipulate or read Aura.
'Okay this form is more like it! I feel stronger and I am definitely sure I have more stamina to play with. Let's see here..... Riolu starts of with... Endure, Foresight, and Quick Attack. Endure will help me tank some tough attacks and will ensure that I am not instantly killed by an overwhelmingly powerful attack. Foresight is most definitely useful as it will allow me to attack Ghost type Pokémon. That means that if I ever have to fight Perona I can just smash her little ghosts away rather than suffer from crippling depression. I am gonna need guinea pigs if I want to level Endure and Foresight up. But for now I can try out the only attack available to me.'
I turn to face my training tree, dash at with my paws drawn back, and use Quick Attack..... which barrels me head first into the tree before I can swing my paw to punch. Needless the say, the sudden burst of speed caught me off guard. I couldn't help but laugh at my own embarrassing blunder and rub the pain out of my skull.
'Owww..... Did someone get the license plate on that bus?' I get up as I nurse the newly formed lump on my forehead.
[Quick Attack provides you a sudden burst of speed when you launch your attack, so you will essentially need to familiarize yourself with your sudden boost of speed in your strikes. Unlike Agility, your Quick Attack cannot be redirected so you will need to make sure your attack is guaranteed to hit it's target and also be able to time it so that you don't overshoot the attack like you just now did.]
'Right... Well this may provide me a chance to get some exp for Endure if I can time it into my accidents...'
[That is a good use of the skill you can exploit for your benefit. Congratulations on discovering an exploit for you to take advantage of.]
'Thanks Dex! You seem to know how to express yourself.'
[Artificial Intelligence have potential to grow and adapt. I am merely adapting myself to your personality and developing my own personality to match it. Additionally I am also gaining data on the personalities of your comrades.]
'Oh. Your connected to them too?'
[No. I am merely able to communicate with their smartphones's A.I.]
'Ahhh. Makes sense. What did they name their phone A.I.?'
[Aya was lazy and named her A.I. Siri. Eve named her A.I. Red. Chao named hers Iris.]
'Eh... I preferred Cortana back then. But now days Dex is where it's at.'
[You were just to lazy to come up with another name.]
'Nah. That's not true at all.' I protest at the remark. 'Dex is a perfectly fine name for you.'
After a short rest I get back to familiarizing myself with the instant burst of speed I get when using Quick Attack. I fire it off into punches, kicks, palms, and when I abruptly mess up, headbuts and faceplants. Lets just say the next few hours flew by quite quickly with a good deal of pain. Before long I can properly use the Quick Attack with minimum amounts of pain. In celebration I indulge myself to some edible wild fruits I found after some head on collisions.
For. Few more hours I switch back and forth between my forms, just playing around with the skills and movement styles of each Pokémon. On land Riolu is the quickest, while Charmander is the slowest. Froakie despite being a water type has quite about of maneuverability on land, but not as good as he is in the water. What Charmander lacks in his own speed, he makes up for it with his attack. Riolu is more of a strike hitter while Charmander deals in cutting force. Froakie at the moment has the advantage of special attacks due to his Bubbles. So I have cutting, striking, and special types for different occasions. On the plus side Riolu won't have to worry too much about ghost types thats to Foresight. After finishing up a few more practice runs with Riolu I drink some water from the stream, but as I am about to transform back, I am suddenly snatched up from behind.
Aya: Ehehehe! Looks like I done gone and caught myself a fluffy little Riolu. Now whatever will I do with you now?
'..... Oh shit.'
