After everyone had woken up and done their daily rituals like washing up and eating, Naruto had collected Matthew from the Pewter hotel and then had Kidara teleport them to a town close to Saffron which was where the next Gym Battle would be held.
Since the city was 4 hours' walk away, Naruto had decided to release his Pokegirls to allow them some exercise. Vinslet was walking beside Yuffie, both animatedly discussing strategies with Rylai pitching in some times. Kidara was flying in the air, allowing her to avoid detection since most people did not look at the skies when there was a group of people on the road. Kireina was at her usual spot, three paces to the south-east of Naruto.
Seeing a chance for her to get some fun, Macavity skipped over to where Kireina. The moment Kireina saw the mischievous smile on Macavity's face, she tensed up. Whenever she had that look on her face, there was bound to be nothing good.
"So, was he good?" Macavity whispered into the Samurai's ears.
"I do not know what you are talking about."
"Oh come on. Don't try to deny it all. I saw all of it this moment."
Kireina nearly tripped over he own foot before she regained her equilibrium. "Wh-What do you mean?"
"Well after Naruto was teaching you some sword skills, didn't you do something naughty to him?" Kireina's face was totally flushed at this point as she remembered all that had happened after Naruto had taught her the succession techniques.
After Naruto had helped her up from the ground where she was kneeling down on, panting, he had given her a kiss as a sort of reward. That brought forth the entire libido that she had suppressed all this while.
Kireina had grabbed hold of his head and deepened the kiss, her tongue brushing against his wildly. Stunned by the sudden turn of events, Naruto was unable to respond and was at his Pokegirl's mercy. In a few seconds, Tamer and Pokegirl were naked and Naruto was pushed down onto the ground.
'My god, someone actually saw us doing it! Did you see all of it? Like when we were against the wall, on the floor, on the trees…' Kireina shook her head wildly to clear herself of the memories of the morning. They were starting to make her horny again.
Macavity leaned in and sniffed at Kireina. "Ah you naughty Pokegirl. You're getting horny again aren't you?"
Kireina stuttered out an incomprehensible denial. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone…maybe… That FrostWyrm seems quite possessive, I wonder what will happen if I tell her of what happened?" Kireina paled immediately. Last night was supposed to be Rylai's turn to be Tamed but Naruto had used it to work on the Blood Clone. If she knew that she had missed out on a Taming but Kireina had gotten it, she would have hell to pay in their training session!
"Wait…Wait a minute Macavity, come back here!" the panicked Samurai cried out, only for the feline to jump away from Kireina's desperately grabbing hands as she cackled loudly. This thus began a game of tag between the two of them, with the poor Samurai chasing after Macavity while the Legendary Pokegirl kept jumping around like the cat that she was.
Macavity eventually grew tired of the game and made peace with the Samurai before looking for someone to prank. Her eyes landed on Naruto's form and took on an evil gleam. This was payback time for humiliating her back when they first met!
"Hey Blondie, look here!" Macavity cried out.
Naruto did as he was bade and sidestepped immediately, using his left hand to catch the kunais that had flown at him and return them to Yuffie. "You should really take care of your stuff more carefully." He said while looking at Macavity.
His right hand then flicked out and with a snap of his fingers, a giant fireball erupted from his hand and engulfed the beehive that was dropping down on him in flames. "Macavity, stop this nonsense." Naruto snapped out, absolutely annoyed.
Macavity pouted, irritated that Naruto had foiled her so easily before she turned her face into an innocent expression and turned on her Aura of Cute full blast. "What are you talking about? Those were just random events that had ab-so-lute-ly nothing to do with me!"
Naruto turned around and continued walking, tired of dealing with the capricious Legendary. If she wasn't required for getting to the Sanctuary, he would have knocked her out and fled from her long ago.
Naruto growled out as he was suddenly drenched from head to toe. "What in the world…" Naruto looked up and gritted his teeth as what he saw. Right above him was a small rain cloud that was constantly raining down on him. It was just large enough to cover his entire body and the worst part was that it was following him. This time, Macavity could not contain herself and let out a childish giggle at the success of her prank.
Naruto continued to walk on. This was not over yet. Macavity would rue the day that she decided to mess with him. After all, it was not for no reason that he had been called Konoha's Number One Surprising Ninja and Konoha's Prank King. She would rue it. He would make sure of that.
Eventually, despite all the hiccoughs, the group made their way to Saffron city with enough time to spare. Naruto had returned all of his Pokegirls to their Pokeballs despite their complaints and was now standing in front of the Gym.
The receptionist looked at Naruto quizzically. It had not rained at all the entire day and thus she was confused at Naruto's drenched. "Sir, generally, when we bathe or swim, we take our clothes off." The death glare sent in her direction shut her up immediately.
"I wish to challenge Sabrina, the leader of this Gym." Naruto growled.
"Right away sir." The frightened receptionist squeaked before she scurried away to inform the Gym Leader as to her challenge.
"Sabrina, there is a-"
"I already know." The one revealed to be Sabrina said. She had long purple hair that reached all the way to her waist. She was clothed in a red long-sleeved shirt and black long pants. Her boots were also red in colour with yellow tips on them. Finally, she had a yellow belt on and a pair of white gloves.
Rising from her seat, Sabrina began walking to the arena while the receptionist followed behind her. When she arrived, she saw that her challenger was already there. Looking at her masked challenger, Sabrina smirked. "So, it seems he wants to keep an air of mystery around him huh. Well, I'll find out about everything about him in a second."
Sabrina sent out a psychic feeler into the challenger's mind. She smirked victoriously as her feeler entered his mind unhindered. Soon, all of his previous secrets would be hers. Suddenly, her psychic feeler was swamped by the challenger's mind and rapidly devoured. Sabrina immediately cut off the connection. She was just in time. Another second later and the challenger would have gained access to her mind.
"Who is he, to have rebuffed my mind so efficiently?" Sabrina wondered as she looked at the challenger. A stab of irritation hit her as she saw the nonchalance in the challenger's eyes. It was as though rebuffing her had been no effort at all!
No matter, even if he did have some psychic abilities, it did not guarantee skills as a Tamer. She would simply crush him in the arena. The moment the receptionist, who doubled as a referee called out for the match to start, Sabrina tossed out her Pokeball, causing a Pokegirl with golden-yellow skin and green hair to emerge.
Naruto threw out his Pokeball as well while simultaneously flipping his Pokedex open.
A-BRA, the Psychic Snoozer Pokegirl Level 30
Type: Near Human
Element: Psychic
Frequency: Rare
Diet: human style food
Role: A-bras are often found working in security or with administrators or researchers. Not very popular due to their down time.
Libido: Low
Strong Vs: Fighting, Poison, Psychic
Weak Vs: Bug, Dark, Ghost
Attacks: Teleport, Foresight, Confusion
Enhancements: Telepathy
Evolves: Ka-D-Bra (normal), Alaka-Wham (evolved Ka-D-Bra; normal)
Evolves From: Nymph (Psi Crystal)
The A-Bra is a small Pokegirl, rarely exceeding 5'4 in height. Their skin is a goldenrod yellow, though their hair can be any color. Bust size, as their name suggests, is a mere A-cup. Their other defining feature is a pair of "antennae", similar in structure to catfish whiskers, positioned just above their eyebrows. Research strongly suggests that these structures, rarely more than a few inches long, act like conductors for psychic signals, and are used mainly to pick up brain waves, at least in the lower evolutions. Though they are known to sleep upwards of 18 hours a day, the A-Bra remains fairly useful. They have the ability to read minds, teleport, and have a danger sense. They are also quite intelligent, often having just the answer her trainer needs in any predicament, provided he can rouse her to consciousness long enough to give her thoughts. However, A-Bras are physically frail, and lack the powerful Psychic attacks of their more evolved forms, making them a poor choice in a fight. Feral versions are very rare. It is far more common to find them at a breeding center, such as the famed Tendo Ranch. A-Bras, while not common by any means, are one of the more likely outcomes of Threshold for a girl with strong Psychic ancestry.
Naruto arched an eyebrow under his mask. He had heard of starting weak but this took the cake. Starting out with such a low level A-bra? That was basically a free victory for him!
The A-bra flinched the moment Vinslet appeared on the arena which was exactly how Naruto had planned it. Naruto had kept Vinslet in her Pokeball this time for the intimidation factor. When Vinslet had been released from her Pokeball, she had immediately activated her Fear Aura and Ashen Wings. A Vampire staring down at you from above with red eyes made for a scary image. That combined with the Fear Aura that was permeating through the room stirred up terror even in the strongest of hearts.
The ingenious part was Vinslet's usage of her Fear Aura. Instead of releasing it full blast the moment she had appeared, the Vampire would slowly increase its power over the match. This would allow for more mistakes during the match which she could capitalize. Also, by not using it right t the start, her opponent might not realise that she was using the Fear Aura which rendered them unable to counter it.
This time, Vinslet would be fighting without instructions just as Kireina had although for different reasons. From Sabrina's attempt at recon, it was proven that she was a psychic. Thus, it was guaranteed that Sabrina would give instruction to her Pokegirl via psychic waves. This rendered verbal instructions useless as it would be much slower than mind communication. Communicating through the Shinkakaru no Jutsu (Heart Link Technique) was also ineffective because their opponents could pick on their conversation due to the fact that they were also psychics.
Wanting to end this match quickly so that she could go back to her nap, Vinslet decided to go on the offensive. Biting her finger so that a little welled up at the tip of her finger, the Vampire manipulated the structure of the blood and created a Blood Blade. Naruto's Pokegirl rushed forward towards the Psychic Pokegirl and then disappeared from everyone's view.
The A-Bra was unperturbed by that. She quickly utilised the Foresight technique which would allow to how her opponent would act and thus react accordingly. An image of the Vampire approaching her from her right flashed into her mind and the A-Bra immediately teleported away. She then sent a Confusion attack right where the Vampire was supposed to be and was rewarded with a pained grunt.
Another image flashed into her mind. This time, it was of the Vampire attacking her from above. The A-Bra immediately teleported away. All of a sudden, a wave of pain hit her.
By casting a Genjutsu on the A-Bra, Vinslet had sent the A-Bra a fake image of where she was going to try. Her Genjutsu had also left subtle hints as to where to teleport to. In other words, her technique had backfired on her. Normally, a Psychic Pokegirl's mind was protected. However, using Foresight required the A-Bra to open her mind to the cosmic universe which was why Vinslet had gained access so easily.
And then, the Vampire's voice surrounded her. It was like there was a hundred of the Vampire speaking to her. "Are you confused, little A-Bra? I bet you are wondering how you didn't see my attack coming, aren't you? Unluckily for you, that was just an appetiser. This attack here will finish you off. Night Shade!"
Once again, an image flashed into her mind. The Night Shade was coming from her left. However, she did not dare to trust her Foresight anymore. She had been tricked once before already. There was only one set of actions left for her to take. She had to use her trump card. "Mirror Coat!" The A-Bra's skin took on a glossy sheen as the Mirror Coat took effect.
Vinslet's eyes widened under her invisibility Genjutsu. There was not enough time for her to cancel her attack! If her Night Shade hit the A-Bra now, the damage would be returned to her two-fold! The Vampire could only watch helplessly as the Night Shade struck the Psychic Pokegirl and then rebounded back towards with more intensity.
The A-Bra let out a sigh of relief as she heard the Vampire scream in pain. The Vampire appeared in plain sight then. The power-up Night Shade had been too much and the Vampire had been forced to drop her invisibility. She was now crumpled onto the ground, gasping for breath. This was her perfect chance! Dropping her Mirror Coat, the A-Bra was about to end the match with a Confusion attack when pain erupted in her abdomen. Coughing out some blood, the A-Bra's eyes widened in shock as the scene in front of her melted away to reveal the Vampire standing in front of her with a Blood Blade impaled in the A-Bra's abdomen.
"Poor, poor A-Bra. That entire fight was fake, all an illusion of mine. You were so frightened and weak that you didn't even notice when I had cast an illusion over you. Now, why don't you go to sleep?" Vinslet dispersed her Blood Blade, causing the A-Bra to fall onto the ground without the Blood Blade holding her up.
Naruto smiled under his mask, pleased with how the match had been progressing. So far, he had been training Vinslet as a Genjutsu specialist with her other skills used to supplement hr Genjutsus. In order to test her abilities, Naruto had decided to pit her off against Psychic Pokegirls who would have a strong mental defense. Being able to pull off such an elaborate illusion on a Psychic Pokegirl spoke volumes of her ability.
Dark energy began to form into in ball in Vinslet's hands as she prepared to end the match with a Night Shade. "This is the end, little one!" she grinned as she thrust her hands forward.
However, a burst of light erupted from the fallen A-Bra which caught Vinslet off-guard and sent her flying away. This time, it was Sabrina's turn to smirk. There had been a reason on why she had chosen to send out her A-Bra as her first Pokegirl. First of all, doing so caused her opponents to underestimate her A-Bra which proved to be their downfall most of the time. Added to that, her A-Bra gained experience very easily from a fight. This was further enhanced by the Luck Eggs that her A-Bra had used. They doubled the experience that a Pokegirl could get in battle and the last that she counted, her A-Bra had used a total of three of them. Finally, her A-Bra was extremely close to evolving. The battle had undoubtedly increased her experience dramatically which resulted in her evolution. Her challenger was in for a surprise.
When the light from the A-Bra cleared, she had changed a lot. Flipping open his Pokedex, Naruto found that the A-Bra had evolved into a Ka-D-Bra.
KA-D-BRA (AKAPSIKICK), the Telepath Pokegirl
Type: Near Human
Element: Psychic
Frequency: Rare
Diet: human style foods, especially sushi
Role: commonly used for peacekeeping
Libido: Average
Strong Vs: Fighting, Poison, Psychic
Weak Vs: Bug, Dark, Ghost
Attacks: Telepathy, Confusion, Teleport, Telekinesis
Enhancements: High psychic ability (teleportation, telepathy, telekinesis), high intelligence
Evolves: Alaka-Wham (normal)
Evolves From: A-Bra (normal)
Nothing summarizes the evolution from A-Bra to Ka-D-Bra so much as "growth". She grows taller, usually only a few inches, with the tallest seen being 5'7. Her bust size increases dramatically, becoming the D-cup she takes her name from. Her "antennae" double in length, usually 4-6 inches in length. Their skin darkens to a medium orange, though their antennae remain yellow. They also become more active, requiring less sleep, and more regular Tamings.
With their physical growth, and especially the increase in the size of their antennae, Ka-D-Bras experience significant growth in their psychic powers. Their ability to teleport and powerful telekinesis more than makes up for their physical frailty, giving them an edge in combat that their previous form lacked, and their augmented intelligence gives them a grasp of tactics that allows them to make the most of their attacks.
Ka-D-Bras tend to make people nervous. Many Ka-D-Bras sided briefly with Mao in her Rebellion, only to break away after Pine Ridge.
Unfortunately, the taint of associating with Mao continues to follow this once more plentiful and valued breed. Fear and distrust make Ka-D-Bra nervous or report feeling sickened, while those who have found a Tamer who trusts and likes them find a staunch ally in the near humans.
One peculiarity of the Ka-D-Bra still has researchers puzzled. A Ka-D-Bra will eagerly bend any spoons she comes across with her telekinesis, almost to the point of compulsion. While this urge is not intense enough for Tamers to use it as bait to capture Feral Ka-D-Bras (which are as rare as their un-evolved form), most Tamers who have a Ka-D-Bra in their Harem quickly learns to eat with chopsticks.
Naruto's eyes bugged at the A-Bra's huge increase in levels. 'So this was her plan huh. It will be interesting to see how Vinslet deals with this development.'
Meanwhile, Vinslet was cursing at the heavens for her misfortune, at Naruto for evolving, at the Gym Leader for being so god-damned sneaky and basically everything else that she could think. Why oh why did things have to get so complicated? It was supposed to be an easy win. Now I have to use even more effort to win this. I'm tired already… ARGH!'
Needless to say, she was pissed. Getting up, Vinslet got ready for Round Two with who was quickly becoming one of the few people that she really hated.
Meanwhile, up in the spectator stands, Matthew was getting more and more impressed everyday with the performances that Naruto's Pokegirls put up. First there was that powerhouse of a Samurai and now there was this crafty Vampire in front of him. Throughout the entire hoax, he had never even once suspected that it was all an illusion and judging by Macavity's surprise, neither had she. It would be interesting to say the least how the matches would progress.
Floating in the air, Vinslet analyzed her opponent while thinking up various strategies. Unlike her Harem sisters, she was not a powerhouse and did not possess any moves that could level a building in one move. She relied on cunning and long-term strategy to win her fights. Genjutsu required a very creative and subtle mind.
Currently, even though the A-Bra had evolved into a Ka-D-Bra, Vinslet still held the advantage due to a certain factors. Firstly, evolution had not helped to cure its wound. Even now, blood was still dripping out from the Ka-D-Bra's abdomen and pooling on the ground. This was sure to exhaust her greatly and Vinslet was planning to capitalize on that fact. Secondly, although the Ka-D-Bra now had much more power than she had as an A-Bra, she had no experience in controlling it at all. Thus, she was far from her full potential. In addition, uncontrolled bursts of power would only serve to weaken her even further in the long term. All in all, this pointed to a war of attrition.
The whole point was to draw out the fight as long as possible while taking as little damage as possible. This would conserve more energy for the following fights. Also, it was much less troublesome. It was time to put Yuffie and Naruto's stealth training into use.
Slipping back into invisibility mode, Vinslet changed her way of breathing. Her breath now was long and deep and most of all, silent. Her Ashen Wings propelled her through the air smoothly with not even a whisper to betray her location.
Down below, the Ka-D-Bra was turning her head from left to right, trying to catch a disturbance in the air or some sound that the Vampire was generating. Sabrina had ordered her to conserve her energy and not squander it by firing around aimlessly. That would just be playing into the Vampire's hands. Meanwhile, the Ka-D-Bra's feelers were twitching frantically, attempting to locate her elusive opponent through psychic means. Unfortunately, because Vinslet was a Dark-Type Pokegirl, she was undetectable by psychic means.
Hearing a sound from behind her, the Ka-D-Bra whirled around and sent a Confusion attack where she had heard the noise only to hit nothing. All that could be seen on the ground was a few drops of blood.
Vinslet snickered under her breath. Using her Blood Bullets as a distraction was extremely smart of her, she had to say. Vinslet tried the same trick and could barely hold in her laughter when the Ka-D-Bra fell for it again. Where was their vaunted intelligence? Perhaps her wits had fled her due to her wound and the increasingly powerful Fear Aura that Vinslet still kept active. Vinslet tried the Blood Bullet trick again and to her disappointment, the Ka-D-Bra did not fall for it again. It seemed she had wisened up.
Vinslet then utilized another tactic. This time, instead of using it as a distraction, Vinslet used the Blood Bullets to snipe at her opponent and whittle away at her remaining health points. Being too slow to avoid the Blood Bullets, the Ka-D-Bra had three options. She could take the hit, Teleport away or use her Telekinesis to stop the Blood Bullets. Either one served Vinslet's purpose perfectly.
Due to a combination of the terror coursing through her veins caused by the Vampire's Fear Aura as well Vinslet's relentless assault, the Ka-D-Bra was not given any reprieve and thus time to think. She was forced to react with instinct, thus playing into Vinslet's hands. In the end, despite her valiant struggles, the Ka-D-Bra succumbed to her exhaustion and fainted.
Sabrina growled in anger as she returned her Ka-D-Bra to her Pokeball. It was hard having to swallow a defeat by a Pokegirl belonging to this Tamer. No matter, the Vampire would fall before her next Pokegirl; she would make sure of that.
Sabrina's next choice of Pokegirl once again made Naruto arch his eyebrows. She sure had weird choices in battling Pokegirls.
SLOWSIS, the Foul-Tempered Psychic Powerhouse Pokegirl Level 70
Type: Near Human
Element: Water/Psychic

Evolves: None
Evolves From: Slowboob (mechanism unknown)
The Slowsis is quite often less lazy. This exact mechanism for their change is not known, but it's believed to involve a strong sense of responsibility. The Slowsis is usually 5'8" to 6'3", with large D to E cup breasts and her arms and legs lose the 'round' appearance they had prior.
A Slowsis' appearance is not all that changes. In terms of attitude, she is often quiet, but tends to make cutting remarks towards any idea or plan that she considers stupid, provided it doesn't come from a child or someone they feel should know better. Strangely, if said idea or plan comes from a child or someone who isn't well informed, she will always find a good way to explain to them why it's a bad idea/plan.
Any Slowsis will also refuse to tolerate anyone she considers to be overly-arrogant or self centered, which is why tamers who do get them should be quite careful about how they behave and about anyone they add to their harem. Any easy-going or well adjusted Pokegirls will find no problems with the Slowsis, but uptight or arrogant Pokegirls will often find themselves with a whole heap of trouble. It's said that a Slowsis can even terrify a Killer Queen.
Slowsis' should also never be taken to anything having to do with high society, as they will inevitably either start a fight, get the tamer banned or cause someone to break into tears. Sometimes, all three.
Slowsis' regard combat as a necessary defense and a last resort. Nothing else. Though many tamers like how they relentlessly kick ass, it's ill advised to try and get a Slowboob to evolve for this reason. Slowsis' do not bother to 'show off' for the sake of showing off, feeling it is a waste of their time to use their powers for such pathetic reasons. Yet they will not hesitate to use their powers to make children or a chosen partner smile.
Considering how they're quite good at handling children, they're often a favorite at raising children, after DenMothers and Neko Cennecos, though it's recommended that they don't meet the parents face to face, as more than one has assaulted a parent for abuse or worse.
In combat, a Slowsis doesn't go for the immediate win if she doesn't believe a single attack will defeat their opponent. They will use Foresight, Barrier and Amnesia first to amplify themselves, followed quickly by Disable, Draining Rain and Feel The Burn to weaken the opponent, and finally Geyser to throw the enemy's sense of balance off. Occasionally, when they feel it necessary, they will swap the order of the attacks or mix them up to confuse the opponent. They prefer using Psychic to finish fast opponents, but on slower foes, they'll use Psywave.
Very rarely, if a Slowsis does not believe they alone can defeat an opponent, and they have no tamer to back them up, they will ask any nearby Slowboobs for help. Most feral Slowboobs will help out, but generally cop a surly attitude about doing so.
Not surprisingly, since their methods of battling require preparation, a Slowsis actually works quite well in teams of two or more, which is often enough to make them good strategists or Alphas.
To date, only a few girls have ever threshold-ed directly into a Slowsis.
As stated in the Pokedex, it was very rarely that a Slowsis agreed to battle. Additionally, from what he had observed about Sabrina, she seemed to be quite a prideful woman so how would she ever co-operate with her Pokegirl like that?
Unknown to Vinslet and Naruto, the Slowsis had been with Sabrina ever since she was Slowboob. Given to her as a birthday gift when she was 6, the two of them had been together ever since and had developed a deep bond with each other. When Sabrina had taken part in the qualifications to become a Gym Leader, her Slowsis had supported her all the way. Because a Gym Leader retained his/her status by the proportion of the wins that they had, her Slowsis was determined to fight at her best so as to allow her Tamer to retain her status as a Gym Leader. A motivated Slowsis is a very powerful Slowsis. They would never know what had hit them.
The moment the Slowsis entered the arena, she cast Barrier on herself. This technique would allow her to halve all damage done to her. She had foregone the Foresight step to her normal combo. Sabrina had already informed her that the opponent could somehow manipulate the Foresight attack against its user which was detrimental to them. Slowsis then followed it up with Amnesia which increased the power of her special attacks.
Unfortunately for her, before she could start on her offensive combo, Vinslet vanished from view, having used her invisibility to hide herself. Naruto could not use the Shinkakaru no Jutsu (Heart Link Technique) to communicate but he could use it to transmit data which was how Vinslet knew of the Slowsis' combo. That was the reason why she had chosen to go invisible. She could not afford to be hit by that combo!
The Slowsis seemed unperturbed by the Vampire's sudden disappearance. Unlike the A-Bra, she was a veteran of battle. These cheap tricks would not work on her. To say that Dark Pokegirls could not be located by psychic means was actually a misconception. What happened is that where there would normally be a sort of 'disturbance' when Psychic Pokegirls scanned someone or something, there would be 'nothing' when their psychic radar passed over a Dark Pokegirl. With enough proficiency, Psychic Pokegirls could actually search for that special 'nothingness' in their radar and thus locate Dark-Type Pokegirls.
The Slowsis closed her eyes to improve her concentration. After some time, she spotted it- a bug blot of 'nothing' moving around her at 3 O'clock. I've got you now' the Slowsis thought victoriously. Pretending to be still trying to locate the Vampire, the Slowsis gathered psychic energy into her cupped hands. Her torso was bent over her hands so that the hazy area created by the psychic energy gathering could not be seen.
The Slowsis patiently bided her time while charging up her attack even more, waiting for her prey to reach her. Slowsis were by nature a patient species so this amount of waiting was nothing to her. After some time, the Slowsis sensed the Vampire approaching her and when she was close enough, the Psychic Pokegirl turned around and sent a Feel The Burn attack point black at the Vampire.
Stunned by the sudden turn of events, Vinslet was caught flat-footed. Even though she was strong against Psychic attacks, taking an attack in the face point-black hurt a lot. She felt as if her body had turned into a rubber band. One moment she was being stretched still she was sure she would snap and the next moment; she was being crushed until she was sure she would become smaller than an ant.
After what seemed like an eternity to the blood sucker, the torture finally ended. Vinslet collapsed on the floor, spent. The Slowsis sent a Psywave in Vinslet's direction. Vinslet moved to dodge it but it was like her body was made of lead. It was so heavy and hard to move. Vinslet was sent flying away and bounced on the ground a few times like a broken rag doll.
Vinslet struggled to her feet but another Psywave from the Slowsis blew her away again. This continued for many times and at the end of it, Vinslet was bruised and battered. However, despite her injuries, despite her normal laidback attitude, she kept getting up no matter how many times she was hit. After all, this fight was not for her, it was for Naruto and for him, she would do anything!
Seeing that the Vampire would not be able to do anything to retaliate for quite some time, the Slowsis decided to charge up an exceptionally strong Psywave that would finish the fight once and for all.
This was her chance! This was her chance to turn the tides if only her body would respond to her urges! Using the dark energy that all Vampires had, Vinslet turned the blood from her injuries into round blobs and slowly levitated them from the ground. With one push of her mind, the Blood Bullets were sent hurtling towards her opponent.
The Slowsis snorted at this. Such an amateurish attack would never even get to reach a meter from her. Splitting part of her concentration away, the Slowsis used telekinesis to stop the Blood Bullets in their tracks.
To her utter surprise, the Blood Bullets continued on unimpeded as though she had never done anything to stop the Blood Bullets. Splitting yet another part of her concentration away, the Slowsis reinforced her Barrier to minimize the damage taken. Imagine her surprised when the Blood Bullets went through her Barrier like a hot knife through butter and drilled into her body.
Despite her high pain tolerance, the Slowsis screamed out in pain as the Blood Bullets drilled their way through her body and exploded out of her back in fountains of blood. Looking up, she was horrified to see hundreds of Blood Bullets screaming towards her. At the end of the assault, the Slowsis was barely recognizable as her former self. I'm sorry, Sabrina…' was her last conscious thought before she fainted due to blood loss.
Everyone present except for Naruto was stunned speechless. One moment, the Slowsis was dominating the fight and the next moment, she was suddenly bleeding profusely with dozens of holes riddling her body.
"The…the winner of this round is the Vampire." The shocked referee eventually declared.
Naruto grinned triumphantly under his mask. Vinslet sure had grown. Letting the Slowsis beat the shit out of her like that was actually part of her plan all along. Each time that she was hit, she had gauged the power of the Slowsis' Psywave as well how much she opened her mind each time she attacked. After that, using the blood created from her injuries, she had sent real Blood Bullets at the Slowsis. However, the moment the Slowsis split her concentration to stop the bullets, nothing that happened was real.
By splitting her concentration, the Slowsis had in essence opened her mind up for invasion. Thus, the Blood Bullets continuing on unimpeded was a Genjutsu of sight. Then, when the Slowsis further opened her mind by reinforcing her barrier, Vinslet added an additional layer of Genjutsu of touch. In that moment where the Slowsis experienced a little pain, her mind was totally unguarded, allowing the Vampire to rape her mind to the extent where the wounds that were illusionary in nature manifested themselves as physical.
Right now, Sabrina would be shaken up by that display and would spend the entire time trying to figure out Vinslet's trick. They would never think of an attack on the mind, being psychic users which worked in Vinslet's advantage. When Naruto saw Sabrina's next Pokegirl though, he cursed under his breath. This would be tough.

Evolves From: Milktit (Moon Stone)
The Mooncalf is the psychic evolution of the Milktit. A better fighter than the Milktit but not quite as effective as a Minotaura, it does not have the enhanced strength of a Minotaura, but it is often more effective in combat using its psychic abilities. A favored tactic is to trick its opponents into seeing what it wants it to see using Psychic Illusion and then attack. Unless the opponents are aware of the tactic and have psychic defenses they will almost always fall victim to this tactic. They are also slightly more intelligent than they were as a Milktit, possibly rivaling the Ka-D-Bra but not quite as intelligent as an Alaka-Wham.
Although the Mooncalf evolved from a Milktit, there are several visual changes that occur thanks to the evolution. For starters, the Mooncalf does not produce near as much milk as a Milktit does. Instead of the 45 gallons a day that a Milktit produces, Mooncalves can only produce somewhere between 5 and 10 gallons a day at most. This also means that they have somewhat smaller breasts when full, and actually can handle the added weight with ease unlike the Milktit thanks to fine-control over their telekinesis fields (much like the Alaka-Wham have). However, it is still considered neglect if a Mooncalf is not milked for longer than a few days, as the strain will eventually get to her. Mooncalves are cannot change the composition of their milk and drinking Mooncalf milk will not induce lactation in other Pokegirls. Unlike the Milktits, which can range in appearance, the Mooncalf evolution more regularly looks more like a human in appearance, only having two small horns that protrude a few inches from their foreheads, cow-like ears and a cow tail.
The Mooncalf milk does have one odd side effect. It can help induce a hypnotic state within the drinker, which the Mooncalf can take advantage of. Strangely, this effect does not take hold of Tamers that are even Alpha bonded to the Mooncalf, but will affect non-Dark type Pokegirls and other humans. This is often used to assist with police interrogations, and Mooncalf milk can command a high price on the market as a result. This type of milk seems to be generated only one day a month, however, most commonly on the day of the Full Moon.
Research is underway to deduce whether or not Pokegirls that evolve as a result of drinking Milktit milk will provide a similar effect as those that drink Mooncalf milk. So far, the results have been inconclusive, although some researchers do continue to study the possibilities. Although, one unconfirmed report states that a Maid Yvette was evolved to a Milk Maid by Mooncalf milk. The fact that the tamer that reported this died shortly afterwards along with his entire harem of Pokegirls in a Widow attack makes it impossible to verify the claim.
Mooncalves hold the claim as the only psychic type to have access to a dark type attack in their exclusive Moon Beam technique. Usually, the Mooncalf must be fighting something that is strong against her before she'll use the attack, however. It's not especially strong, but is accurate and powerful enough against those Pokegirls that are weak to the Dark-element.
Moon Beam (ATK 50): Inverting the Mooncalf's psychic power to create a Dark-element attack, the Mooncalf unleashes a beam of pale light that looks much like moonlight to strike the opponent. Opponents struck by this attack have a 40 chance of becoming confused due to it. 15 of the time, the Mooncalf will suffer a 5 loss of HP after using the attack. This attack seems to be available to the Mooncalf only in dark places, as it seems that the Moon Beam cannot be generated under direct sunlight.
Because the Mooncalf also used illusions as a form of attack, she would easily figure out how Vinslet was dealing so much damage when she had apparently done nothing.
Vinslet had just received the news from her Master and she groaned aloud in displeasure. Things just had to get tougher and tougher didn't they? Right now, the two Pokegirls were at a stalemate even though the Mooncalf did not know it yet. Neither of them could use their favoured illusions. In addition, although Vinslet was of a superior Type, she was injured from the previous round which made her more susceptible to the Mooncalf's attacks and her own attacks were also weakened in the process. This made the two of them equal in power. She was at a loss as to how to continue the fight.
Unbeknownst to the Vampire, the moment the Mooncalf had entered the arena, she had figured out the Vampire's medium of attack as she was an illusion specialist herself. The entire Gym stank of illusions. However, the fact that the Vampire could cause illusionary wounds to manifest in reality was a troubling detail. She was not sure she could deal with it. Seeing that the Vampire was now charging at her, the mooncalf shoved her thoughts to one side and decided to focus on the battle instead.
The Vampire seemed to blur for a moment and then she suddenly split into three Vampires. The Mooncalf was impressed with the degree of detail that the Vampire had put as well as the subtlety involved. All of the movements were perfectly synchronized with not one of them being out of stop. Even the shadows' length and width were adjusted accordingly to their position. In addition, she had never even sensed her sight being tampered with
However, just because her eyes were fooled did not mean that her mind was fooled! 'That one!' she thought as shesent a Confusion attack at the Vampire to the right. To her surprise, the attack simply went through the Vampire as she faded from sight. The Mooncalf narrowed her eyes. The Vampire was either really good or really fast. She sent another Confusion attack to what was originally the Vampire in the middle only for it to fade away once more. Instead of letting her attack disperse like normal, the Mooncalf maintained her control over her Confusion attack and sent it straight at the remaining Vampire. The Vampire had not expected that. Unable to react in time, she had no choice but to take the full force of the Confusion. Imagine her shock when the last Vampire faded away as well. "What in the world…" as all she could get out before she was split in two by the Vampire.
Standing over her fallen foe, Vinslet grinned victoriously. It had been simpler than expected. She had truly expected her opponent to give her a better fight. Her grin vanished from her face as the corpse in front of her melted into a pool of black sludge which then formed into crows that surrounded the Vampire and pecked at her.
Vinslet cursed loudly. She knew that it was an illusion but she could not seem to break it. Her mind was insistent on maintaining that the crows were real and thus, they appeared to be real to her. Slashing at her fingertips with her sharp claws, Vinslet drew blood which she used to create some Blood Bullets that she fired at the crows.
This time, her mind was convinced that the crows were gone and thus they dispersed into the wind. Unlike the earlier illusions that she had used, the illusions used to far only hooked to the outermost part of their target's brain which made it a lot easier to disperse. Neither of them dared to use their more powerful illusions for fear of a backlash.
A shadow suddenly covered her. Looking up, she saw the Mooncalf dropping down on her from above, attempting to use her weight to knock the Vampire unconscious. Vinslet immediately raised her hands and fired off some Blood Bullets at the bovine Pokegirl only for her to fade away just like Vinslet's own illusions had earlier. Hearing some footsteps behind her, Vinslet transformed the blood dripping down from her fingertips into a Blood Blade which she used to slash at the approaching Pokegirl.
To her horror, her Blood Blade slashed through only thin air as the shadow that had covered just now grew even larger. The Mooncalf had used an illusion to make herself appear like an illusion! Up in the air, the Mooncalf grinned victoriously. Her gamble had paid off. In return for some damage, she had her opponent trapped in a position that she could not escape from!
Just as she was about to crush her opponent, the Vampire suddenly dissolved into a swarm of bats that fled to the other end of the field and reformed into her original self. "Even though I have only been using illusions all this while does not mean that I have forgotten any of my natural abilities." Vinslet smirked.
"Enough of these games. How about we get down and personal?" Vinslet cried out as the Mooncalf got back on her feet form her failed aerial maneuver. "My sentiments exactly!" the Mooncalf replied as she charged forward at the Vampire.
A melee between the two Pokegirls quickly ensued. After trading blows for a while, both Pokegirls backed off to get a breather. Vinslet was confused as to how the Mooncalf had managed to keep up with her speed. Having trained with weights and speed demons like Yuffie and Kireina, her speed should have been enough to overpower the Mooncalf which was why she had opted for hand-to-hand combat.
It took a while before she managed to figure it out. What the Mooncalf was doing was ingenious! Her incredible speed was not due to physical ability at all. Rather, she was using telekinesis to control her own body like a puppet, allowing her to break past her own limits! At this rate, Vinslet knew that she was going to tire out before her opponent. She had to end the match quickly!
Ducking from one of the Mooncalf's wild sweeps, Vinslet rose up with a right uppercut that was blocked by her opponent. Not deterred in the least, Vinslet raised her left leg and kicked out at the cow. Her opponent leapt over the kick and attempted to use her weight to push the Vampire down onto the ground where she would have extremely restricted movements.
Vinslet smirked. The Mooncalf had played right into her hands! "It's over!" she cried out as her left hand shot up, revealing a dark ball to be nested in her palm. "Yes, it's over alright!" The Mooncalf replied as her raised her free hand showing that she had confusion charged in it. "This will end in a double knock-out!" Vinslet cried out, shocked. Her plan had been foiled! "Yes, I know, and I don't care. Goodbye!" The Mooncalf snarled as she slammed her Confusion down on the Vampire. Vinslet instinctively used her Night Shade to defend herself. The struggle between the different attacks released so much energy that it caused a white-out. Nothing could be seen at all.
To everyone's surprise, when the light had cleared, the two Pokegirls were standing in their positions where they had been released from their Pokeballs at the beginning of the match. There was no hint of the injuries dealt during the battle. The only sign that they had been fighting was the heavy panting from both parties. In the end, it was Matthew who voiced everyone's thoughts. "Was that whole battle…an illusion?"
"You…are very good…" The Mooncalf said as she tried to recover herself. The illusion battle had been taxing.
"So are you." Vinslet replied. "Unfortunately, you are not good enough." Vinslet whispered into the Mooncalf's ear. The next thing the Mooncalf knew was pain. Pure, absolute pain as Vinslet's Night Shade ravaged her body.
Before she fell unconscious, she struggled to say, "How, how did that happen?" "After the mental battle, both of us were extremely taxed. However, I was prepared before the illusion even ended. What you saw was yet another illusion created by me. Ever since we 'exchanged blows', I had total control over your mind. You were so concentrated on maintaining your illusions that you left your mind unguarded." "But, I know you were maintaining your side of the illusion, I could sense you!"
"Yes, I was maintaining the illusion as well but who made it a rule such that I cannot create a separate illusion than the one I am maintaining by controlling your mind?" The Mooncalf's eyes widened. Two separate layered illusions while controlling your opponent's illusion was a feat that was unheard of. She was truly beaten… With that, the Mooncalf gave in to her wounds and fell unconscious.
Sabrina could not believe it. She was down to her last Pokegirl already! Sure, she had lost before. Quite a few times before, in fact. However, she had never lost this terribly before! Three of her Pokegirls, all taken down by one single Pokegirl in a row, without any rest at all. Sabrina gripped her Pokeball tightly. At this rate, her loss was evident. She opponent still had four fresh Pokegirls left. However, she was determined to not go down being beaten by a single Pokegirl! It all hinged on her last Pokegirl…

Evolves From: Ka-D-Bra (normal)
Alaka-Whams continue the growth begun when they became Ka-D-Bras, gaining a few inches in height for a maximum height of 6'0. Their skin (once again sans antennae) darkens to a deep red, and their antennae max out at nearly a foot in length. Many Alaka-Whams keep their antennae back, flat against their head, unless actively wielding their psychic powers. Their bust also increases, usually upwards on an E-cup. Their breasts are so large, in fact, that their frail bodies can't support the weight without assistance. Alaka-Whams rely on constant, low-level telekinesis to help support the weight of their massive chests.
Their powers also increase dramatically, giving them a wide variety of Psychic attacks, defenses, and support abilities. Using Telepathy and Precognition to stay one (or more) steps ahead of their opponents, they use Barrier and Teleport to avoid any attacks their opponent conceives of throwing at them. They usually overwhelm their opponents fairly quickly using a combination of Telekinesis, Psychic, and Psywave.
Though always viewed with some suspicion, it wasn't until Mao's Rebellion that active distrust was a factor in modern times. The baseline mistrust comes largely from jealousy of their extreme intelligence. Their typical IQ is about 500, though some exceptional individuals can be even higher. This intelligence leads them to a rivalry of sorts with the Supe-Bra Genius, who they view as intellectual equals. However, the Supe-Bra Genius's wide assortment of mental instabilities is a point of contempt, with the Alaka-Wham seeing them as erratic and inefficient.
Slipping into invisibility once more, Vinslet snuck around the battlefield, trying to figure her opponent when a Psychic attack came flying towards her. Vinslet cursed as she threw herself to the side only to have yet more Psychics fired at her. Vinslet activated her Ashen Wings and took to the air, hoping to get some reprieve. Unfortunately, her hopes were dashed. Bolt after bolt of Psychic was sent at her and she was dodging them with a hair's breadth each time.
What was with this Alaka-Wham? That yellow shit was tracking her so effortlessly that it made her extremely angry. Where the hell had her Type advantage gone to? In addition, the Alaka-Wham had fired off dozens of Psychics by now but did not show even a single hint of exhaustion. It was like it was a drop in a bucket to her.
Seeing that staying on the defensive was no use at all, Vinslet decided to go on the offense. After all, the best defense is a good defense. Dropping her invisibility since it did not help to conceal her at all and served only to drain her energy away, Vinslet charged at the Alaka-Wham.
The Alaka-Wham looked at the incoming Vampire with a look of boredom. With one wave of her hand, she dispelled Vinslet's illusion, revealing her to be diving down on the yellow-skinned Pokegirl from above. With another wave of her hand, Vinslet suddenly stopped moving. She struggled to regain her movement but the invisible bonds that restricted her movements held firm.
The Alaka-Wham was now smirking at the immobile Pokegirl. She had one hand pointing at Vinslet and everyone once in a while; she would twitch her fingers, causing the Vampire's body to contort unnaturally before she allowed the brunette some reprieve
Vinslet gritted her teeth as she tried to regain movement for the umpteenth time and failed. This was proving to be futile. She had to try something else. A dark ball started forming in Vinslet's hand. The moment the Night Shade was complete, she fired it off towards the Alaka-Wham. The Alaka-Wham simply raised her free hand up and pointed it in the direction of Vinslet's Night Shade. Within a second, her Psywave attack was larger than an average man. The Night Shade was easily overpowered by the Alaka-Wham's powerful Psywave.
"This struggle is futile. Why do you not give up, Vampire?" The Alaka-Wham asked as she examined her fingernails. "It is boring fighting one as incompetent as you."
"I'll show you incompetent!" Vinslet snarled as her struggles doubled in intensity. "It is useless. Useless, you hear me?" The Alaka-Wham replied as she twitched her fingers again, causing the Vampire to cry out in pain. "I could snap your spine in half now but I'm being merciful to you. Give up now or suffer the consequences."
Vinslet let her head slump back. The Alaka-Wham was right. She was utterly helpless now. Her Genjutsu was easily broken. Her attempts at stealth were easily foiled, her attacks stopped with minimal effort. She had always been the weakest of the group, no matter how much she tried to deny it.
Her Harem sisters had been kind, never pointing out her weakness in comparison to them, only praising her on her elaborate illusions and the excellent support that she provided. In the end though, she was only support. She wished to be more than that. She wished for Naruto to look at her with the same amount of pride that he did when he watched the other Pokegirls train. This was her only chance and she had blown it. She was…pathetic…
'I am not ashamed of you and I will never be.'
'Naruto? Is that you?'
'Who else could it be? Santa Claus?' Naruto replied dryly.
'You mean to say that you heard everything?!' Vinslet replied, panicked. She had not meant for Naruto to hear them! It sounded so…mushy…
'With how you were broadcasting your thoughts everywhere, if I didn't block it off from them, our opponents would have heard it as well.'
'Thank you.' Vinslet replied softly.
"No need for that. Just do your best. No matter what, you will always be my Pokegirl. You have already done extremely well. Now, show them what you are made of!'
Vinslet glared at the Alaka-Wham as Naruto cut off the connection, determination renewed. She had one last gambit to try. She did not know if she would succeed or not and what would happen if it would fail but she was going to go for it anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
The Alaka-Wham looked amused by Vinslet's renewed determination. "So, you wish to struggle huh, little one? Very well then. Good bye." Her fingers started moving and that was when Vinslet struck.
Normally, when Vinslet entered someone's mind to cast illusions on then, what she did was to send a light probe, like feelers into their mind and give minor suggestions on a certain part of their brain. For her pain-feeling illusions, what she did was to spam a whole load of feelers to engulf her target's brain.
What she was doing now was utterly different. Instead of lightly brushing her opponent's mind, she focused it into a spear and thrust it straight into the Alaka-Wham's mind. Thankfully, since the Alaka-Wham was occupied with restricting her movements, her mental barriers were weakened, allowing Vinslet to break through.
She normally did not do this as it placed a great strain on her. Misuse of this kind of mental attack might result in a warp in her personality. The feeling of domination over others did things to your mind and Vinslet did not want that. Vinslet worked quickly to disable as much as she could of the Alaka-Wham's mind as possible. She was running out of time. Her head felt as though hundreds of red hot needles were piercing through her skull. Also, anytime now, the Alaka-Wham would recover from the shock of having her mind invaded and then she would be in deep shit.
All of a sudden, the exit to the Alaka-Wham's mind closed and an image of the Alaka-Wham appeared in Vinslet's mind. The Alaka-Wham was seething with anger. "I have repeatedly shown you mercy and this is how you repay me? You shall pay for this!" The mental link that Vinslet had formed between her and the Alaka-Wham was abruptly broken.
Vinslet screamed as the backlash from the broken connection hit her. She screamed till her throat was hoarse and she couldn't scream anymore. Even then, her mouth was still open in a silent scream. It hurt so much! Oh god the pain! All she could feel was pain. Her entire world was full of pain. In the end, she could not take it. Vinslet's mind snapped.
At that exact moment, Naruto let out a strangled cry before he collapsed onto the ground like a puppet that just had its strings cut. Sabrina gasped as the implications of what she done hit her. "I…never knew…" Apparently, Pokegirl and Tamer had shared some kind of mental connection. When the Vampire experienced the mental backlash and her mind snapped, it was passed along the connection to her Tamer. The breaking of his Pokegirl's mind probably shattered his mind into pieces. She had wanted to win but not like this!
At first, there was nothing. No sound, no feeling, no sight. She was just a small entity floating entity floating around in an endless void. And then, she gained feeling. She felt another lost soul floating around in the same void that she was. She instinctively gravitated towards that other lost soul, seeking company in this void. Her hands reached out and grasped the other soul and then, memories flooded her mind.
First, she was a fledgling Vampire, then a young blonde human boy. She eventually remembered her name. Vinslet. That was the name given to her by someone precious to her. Who was it? A face popped into her mind. A whiskered face with gentle blue eyes crowned by a mess of blonde hair. Naruto. That was his name. She remembered then, how she had gotten into this state. Her gamble had failed and the worst part was, she had dragged Naruto into this mess.
Peaking of Naruto, where was he? Her arms flailed around wildly and then caught hold of the person that she had grasped earlier. This time, her memories meshed with Naruto's. His emotions, his thoughts, his past, she experienced it all. In return, Naruto experienced the same thing. It was an experience so intimate that there were no words to describe it.
And then, the moment was over. Vinslet felt a force pulling her away from her beloved Tamer. She resisted the pull but inch by inch, she was torn apart from Naruto. "No!" she cried out as she spiraled down into a never-ending darkness.
Vinslet did not know where she was now but she felt uncomfortable. The place was extremely eerie. Her eyes were working but the darkness was so complete that she could not see anything at all. Her ears detected faint murmuring which spooked her out even more.
All of a sudden, gigantic red eyes materialized in front of her. They seemed to do nothing but stare at her, looking into her soul and discerning all of her secrets. Meanwhile, the mutterings had gotten only and Vinslet was able to understand bits and pieces of it. "This is one of the True Blood? How pathetic." "I can't believe this weakling is the heir." "Is that her? She doesn't look so strong."
And then, The Eyes spoke. All of the murmurings fell silent immediately. "You have finally arrived, child. I have been waiting for you."
"Waiting for me? Who are you? Where am I? How do you know me?"
"Questions will be asked here only be me!"
Vinslet shut up immediately. There was something about The Eyes that commanded a lot of respect as well fear.
"What were you doing before you came here?"
"I was fighting."
"What were you fighting for?"
"For myself and my Tamer's honour." More murmurings broke out, louder than before until it was silenced by The Eyes.
"Why do you fight for your Tamer?" The Eyes spat out the word Tamer distastefully, as though it was something poisonous.
"He…he has given me a new life. He saved me from death. He has treated me with nothing but kindness and I wish to repay him."
"Do you then wish for power?"
"I do."
"If it be at the cost of separating yourself from this Tamer?"
"Then I would rather not have the power." Murmurings broke out again, louder than ever.
"What if not having this power would result in your death?"
"I would rather die than live knowing that I have betrayed Naruto!" Vinslet declared proudly.
"You have guts, child, as befitting of an heir. I shall give you a taste of what you can become. Awaken fully, and seek me!"
The Eyes then faded away and so did the mutterings. Vinslet was all alone in this strange darkness and she was becoming terrified. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her from behind. She immediately tried to flee but was held fast by the pair of hands. The pair of hands then enveloped her in a hug. "I am here, Vinslet, do not worry." The Vampire sighed in relief as she sank into her Tamer's embrace
"I am bringing us back now. Relax yourself."
There was a bright flash of light and then she was back in her body.
'What…what happened?'
'The backlash snapped your mind along with mine. Our minds or souls, whichever you prefer, left our bodies and were wandering the void. I managed to bring us back through sheer will but please do not do that again…I am extremely exhausted. The rest is up to you.'
Vinslet nodded and stood up. Somehow, she felt…different, stronger. It was like power was coursing through her veins. Her body felt lighter than ever before. When she lifted her head, everyone was shocked. Her eyes had changed. Instead of the normal slitted eyes that Vampires had, Vinslet's irises had disappeared. All that remained was her blank, red pupils and the white surrounding them. Also, her pupils were no longer slitted but round and they had also expanded. Finally, it was as though her eyes were smoking. Every time she turned her head, a trail of red mist would follow her eyes, it was extremely eerie and intimidating, especially when she stared at you.
The Alaka-Wham shook off her sudden fear of this new Vinslet and sent a Psychic straight at her. While it had seemed as fast as lightning before, the Alaka-Wham's Psychic seemed as fast a snail now and Vinslet dodged it effortlessly.
The Alaka-Wham gasped as the Vampire's sudden increase in speed. It was like she had teleported! The Psychic Pokegirl attempted to use her telekinesis to bind the Vampire but to her utter shock, the Vampire shrugged it off easily.
Delighted by the new power that she possessed, Vinslet decided to try out her strength. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of the Alaka-Wham with her fit buried in the Alaka-Wham's gut.
The Alaka-Wham felt like she had been hit by a train. She flew backwards and slammed into the wall while a trail of blood flowed from her mouth. Vinslet's mouth opened in an 'o'. She had never expected such a dramatic shift in strength. Suddenly, a voice whispered into her mind 'Try your illusions.' Figuring that it would not hurt, Vinslet did as she was instructed.
In her mind, she pictured ten knives skewering the Alaka-Wham and attached that image to the Alaka-Wham. To her surprise, she bypassed the Alaka-Wham's mental defenses like they did not even exist.
Ten knives suddenly in appeared in mid-air before they shot at the Alaka-Wham. The Psychic Pokegirl was unable to do anything to prevent the Vampire's illusion from damaging her. The Knives cut through the Alaka-Wham's body with ease and then buried themselves in the ground. That last detail made Vinslet narrow her eyes. She had never included the knives burying themselves into the ground as part of her illusion.
She walked towards the knives and knelt down to touch them, expecting them to fade away. To her surprise, she was able to pick them up! She slid her thumb over the edge of one of the knives and her thumb bled. These knives were real! Somehow, she had managed to turn her illusions into reality!
She had to test this. Vinslet closed her eyes and formed another in her mind. In response to her thoughts, a metal chain burst out from the ground and wrapped itself around the injured Alaka-Wham. This was incredible. Was this the power that The Eyes was talking about?
With a small mental command, the chain constricted the Psychic Pokegirl until she ran out of air and fainted, making Vinslet the winner. As Naruto, Matthew and Macavity moved to congratulate her; all she could dwell on was her newfound power.
"I am no longer the weakest…"
