I Don't Own Pokemon
It been a few days since Lance visited, five to be specific, so the team was back to training. Nothing super intensive, mostly just basic speed and strength practice, I still wanted their energy reserves to be at full capacity, as I both wanted to see if I gave it that much time, that it would work like a muscle and expand better that way than repeated use. Well, that's what I told my team at least, while I was curious about that, I also mostly did it so they could spend more time resting.
But they were getting restless, so that was why we all were currently in the middle of a forest about half a mile away from Pallet At the moment my team was currently running or flying around the clearing with weights on their bodies, in the most common form being massive boulders that Lycanroc made for them all, including himself. I was also doing some personal work, mostly because I had instincts again, and I was capitalizing on it.
The Dark type is actually a very interesting type as it turns out, and it wasn't because of bias. I haven't had the time to really study other Dark types and I couldn't compare the energy I had at my disposal to my team, because each one worked differently which was interesting as well, but not helpful. Some were powered by the surroundings for a boost, like Vaporeon and Lycanroc, and some used certain emotions like anger and like stated before heat for Charizard.
For me it was a mix of just emotion in general, along with darken surroundings, which was interesting, as the first, well I'm fine with admitting I'm not the most emotional or empathetic person around but it some times felt like a different source of power, unlike say Charizard who used heat and something akin to anger in a tandem. I had no idea as to why, and I was very interested as to why that would be, but so far I haven't found anything of note so far.
It had been about five hours of none stop work and so I felt that it would be a good time for a break, so I called everyone to a stop. As they all drew closer, and dropped off the boulders on their backs, each one putting dents into the earth below us, with a massive thud sound accompanying it. I flipped open my bag that was still resting at my side, and started getting ready to serve out lunch, after all it was about noon, if the position of the sun was anything to go by.
It also reminded me that I still have yet to get a watch, though as they all dug into their food, I thought about it for a minute, before sitting down and pulling the strap of my bag off my shoulder as I opened it back up and dug around for a moment before I found everything I was looking for. I had been holding on to these things for a while now, and this is as good as a time as any, I looked up at the team for a second before calling out to them all.
"You all can keep eating but I've recently got somethings for you all, and I think now would be a great time to give them out" The reaction was instant, Luxray and Lycanroc looked excited, Mismagius was ecstatic, Pidgeot and Vaporeon was interested but also mostly curious, and Charizard looked shocked. Looking down at the satchel in my lap for a second I looked back up at them and closed my eyes and routed my hand about for a second before grabbing an item, looking at it I looked back up at Mismagius and said.
"You really seemed to like that girl's toy, so I thought you would like this" And with that I pulled out a mismagius plushy that was about a fourth of her size, and the reaction was instant, as she floated forwards at max speed, nearly shoving me to the ground, as she reached forwards and grabbed the plush out of my hand and spun it around in her hands with a cry of joy before starting to play with it. I just chuckled as I watched her, before repeating my process and grabbed the next item, this one for Lycanroc.
"I'm pretty sure you'll like it but if not just say so" And with that I pulled out a necklace with a few stone on it, more specifically, their in the middle were to small rounded shards of a Moonstone and on the left and right of those two were singularly a dusk and dawn stone, both also broken and rounded into balls. It wasn't really that amazing but as he stepped forwards and as I helped place it over his neck.
Well it just seemed to fit, and he actually seemed relaxed with it, even if it items didn't actually do anything. Reaching down once more, I pulled the item out, looked at it and said. Though it was a little awkward to put on as it rested in his mane but it wasn't anything that was uncomfortable and it actually was covered up by the hair to the point where it wasn't really noticeable. Afterwards I reached down and grabbed another item, this time I looked over at my Water Fox and said.
"Vaporeon, this was actually pretty hard to find, but I now you're going to like it" And as she stepped forwards I pulled out a single stick of gum. Well there was more to it than that, it turns out Leftovers is in fact an item in this world but it works much more differently than in the games. I pulled out a piece of the Water type Pokemon food, took the gum out of the wrapper and wrapped the gum around the piece of food, after a moment the food had disappeared. Holding the gum out to Vaporeon, I said.
"You're suppose to chew on it, so don't actually eat this, because I only got like five in total. Basically how it works, is you apply a food item to it and it mimics the flavor of said item for about three hours. So when this runs out I can just reapply it. That one will last about a month or so, so make sure you enjoy it ok?" She nodded as she took the piece of gum into her mouth, and walked back to the rest with a happy look on her face,a s she chewed.
It was first invented as a way to calm a raging Snorlax, but it soon became decently popular among others, though it isn't that famous of an item, so it was a little hard to track it down. Doing my thing again, I dipped my hand into my bag for a moment before pulling out an item, looking at it, I looked over towards Luxray who seemed very excited as he a nearly jumped forwards when I gave him a nod.
"This was actually really fun to find, I hope you like it, it's something that will help you out with your voltage use actually, though that is a side benefit to looking cool" As I pulled out a blue scarf. The lining was made of rubber, and the material was actually made of mareep wool, which was incredibly conductive, which would lead to feeding excess electricity into the scarf dispersing it.
He just gave me a happy grin as I wrapped it around his neck and tied it off as he walked back over towards Lycanroc who immediately broke into a conversation about their items, as least until I started talking again, as they were respectful to the others who hadn't gotten anything yet, as I reached down and pulled out the item for Charizard this time, looking over to him, as he made his way forwards I said.
"This is actually a very incredible and rare find, the guy who sold it had practically no idea what it was, meaning I saved easily a couple hundred thousand if not a bit over a million on this" With that I pulled out a singular piece of Charcoal, the look I got from him wasn't one of being impressed so I just tossed it to him, the reaction was instant as he grabbed it before the item seemed to fizzle for a moment before disappearing, and that's when the fire on Charizard's tail seemed to expand by about twenty percent, as I explained.
"It's an item that was forged in a volcano that a Legendary Pokemon called Heatran was sleeping in, it's almost none existent trying to find, and gives a boost to Fire typed base moves by about twenty percent" The only reason I knew that was because the item gave off an aura that even I, someone who had no connection to the Fire type could sense when I came in contact with it, I couldn't image how Charizard felt right now, but I was comparing it to my reaction to the Dusk Stone.
"And that lead us to the last gift, Pidgeot, and this one, well I'll be honest I have no bloody clue as to how it works but it reduces weight by being really light" It was a Float Stone, that I had attached to a choker which was adjustable as I never measure the neck radius of my bird, but after a few moments he was all set, along with the rest with their new items, all of which I made sure were counted as a 'held item' which were a thing here, that I never knew about until like a month ago.
Still that didn't matter as I watched them all have fun comparing their new items as Mismagius tossed her look a like up into the air only to catch it, to Vaporeon who seemed to already have an idea as to how to make a bubble as was currently trying and failing to do so with her Leftovers. It was nice, just watching as they all had fun, and if I'm lucky this will distract them enough that they wouldn't get much more training in.
I still thought it might be a bit early for them all to start up again, though I knew it was irrational to think so, I already checked up on each one of them all they all were in prefect condition. But that didn't mean it just left my mind at all, though it did lessen some as I watched them all have fun, talking to each other.
A shorter chapter but it really just one for giving out the gifts so I don't think anyone will really complain, the ideas for the gifts were actually a little difficult to come up with, most I already had an idea for, like Mismagius, Lycanroc, and Luxray. The others took some more time to really think up an idea for. The Charcoal for Charizard, I'm actually still a little iffy about, because the items were all given not for combat, expect his, but as the only member on the team that is very battle hungry, I figured that he would appreciate a battle item more than say the Leftovers Vaporeon got. Anyway, See ya.
