Chapter 36: Awakening
It was at this moment, when I felt something deep inside me. It was something that wanted to break out. It felt like a raw energy source. Before I could do anything it overwhelmed me. My body started glowing and an orb of Water formed around me. The Houndoom that was holding me down backed off. I felt my Energy being restored, and the process went even farhter. With every second I felt stronger and stronger. It eventually stopped and the Orb of water around me plopped. I opened my eyes and noticed that my body had slightly changed. Around my wrists there were some kind of vambraces. They seemed to be made of the same material as my Scalchops. The same goes for my shins. I also felt something on my head. I couldn't really see it but it felt like a helmet. I quickly touched it with my paws. It was also made of the same material as my scalchops. There were tow holes in the helmet for my ears and on front of the helmet seemed to be some kind of horn. There were also small spikes distributed around it. I also looked at my scalchops to see that they also changed into some kind of swords. I grabbed both of them, now realizing that my paws also grew something relatable to thumbs, which made it a lot easier to grab the swords. The most significant change however was that I felt stronger than ever. I looked at the Houndoom that had pushed me to the ground just moments ago. He seemed to be confused about what happened to me. I decided to take this advantage and charged at him with an Aqua Jet, sending him flying towards the rest of his pack.
What are you just standing there? Get him! He shouted, and everyone who was not pinning down one of my friends charged at me.
I charged my Razor Shells. I didn't realize what happened for the next few seconds. All I remember felt like a dance with my blades. When I looked around I saw a bunch of knocked out houndour and houndoom lying around me, all of them had several cutting wounds on them. Only the leader of the pack was still standing there. I slowly stepped towards him, speeding up with every step. Just before I reached him, I lowered my head and rammed him with the horn on my helmet and stabbed it right through his belly. The rest of the pack who pinned down my friends watched in fear and awe what I did to their leader. When the leader went down I turned to them, but before I could do anything else, they ran off, releasing my friends and they vanished into the woods. I put my blades back on my belt and just when I wanted to go over to my friends, I felt my body suddenly becoming heavy. My vision turned black and I fainted of exhaustion.
I found myself back in the empty space, Zack standing right in front of me. I looked at myself and saw that I looking like a regular Dewott again. I remembered that I heard Zacks voice right before everything happened.
So...it was you who did...'that'
Indeed.
What exactly happened there? It all went so quickly.
Why did I know this question would come? Alright, it seems that our connection has grown stronger since our last talk. So I was able to save up more energy. I decided that I'd store it and use it when we really needed it.
I think I understand but why did my appearance change?
I guess that's my persnal influence. It was my energy, so it had the shape of a Samurott. The way you looked like there was like a mixture between a Dewott and a Samurott.
I see. And when I collapsed you withdrew that energy I guess?
It was no longer needed, and I wanted to save the rest for with my power boost gone you must have felt the exhaustion of that battle.
So, you can only do that if you've stored enough energy right?
Yes, and before you ask, you used up almost everything, so I won't be able to help you out any time soon. Maybe when our connection becomes even stronger than now, I can store up energy even faster, and I might help you out more often but you shouldn't count on it for now. Just try to win your battles on your own. You're already doing great at fighting, son't get me wrong, but you should maybe avoid getting in such nasty situations.
Those situations just keep coming to me...it's not that I like to get in those fights. But one more thing...That was the first time I heard your voice when I wasn't here...Does that mean I can even talk to you while I'm awake now?
It does, but it costs me way more energy to talk to you when you're awake, so if you do, try to keep it short. For now it's time for you to wake up.
