I Do not own Pokémon or the gamer webcomic series.
'I should' – thoughts
"I should" – Pokémon telepathy or speaking
"you should" – Gamer ability announcement/talking

Hey guys I got reviews asking me to have the chapters longer.
Which the minimum amount of word for each chapter will be near 2000 words but will always wrap up at a point that makes sense to do so, like me ending the first chapter on the petalburg woods.
I am looking for a beta reader, so my grammar and other English mistakes can get fixed, there's a bunch in the previous chapters.
After rereading the chapters I posted, I forgotten about the questing in the gamer's ability. Luckily the gamer's ability has very convenient plot devices.
Thanks for reading I am doing this story because
1 I love Pokémon
2 I am fascinated with the gamer's ability in any world that can easily explain it
READ THIS (THIS RELATES TO STORY):
My character would have been part Pokémon anyway (that is how I could explain my characters ability being supported by the world). Just that he won't have the buffs that come with picking the perk. The buffs are on my character limits. That's right my character will have limits just those limits will be that of a Pokémon, which limits will be set down the road. I am telling you guys this because my character stats are going to be a lot higher than they should be for a human. Int also effect exp gain, currently I gain +3% to exp gain, meaning that I counter some of the hit from Logan's loophole.
Also, my character will not be trying to min max everything. The only time he will do this is when he makes items (Pokémon food), and when he trains his Pokémon. Although, he won't train them the best he could right now since he is just starting.
Until my character gets a way to tell time he will say a variation of time. (example a couple of minutes) if I say a certain time it is because there is a clock around for him to keep track of time
On with the chapter.
Chapter 6
The Preparation For The Test
"You have slept in a bed, fully recovered hp and mp"
'So, yesterday wasn't a dream' I feel something on my chest, its Alder. He is sleeping as peacefully as a baby (which he technically is), He has a smile on his face. 'Must be dreaming about something really pleasant' I turn my gaze to the alarm clock on the nightstand. 'It's 6:45 AM, why am I waking up so early?' then I notice something hovering over it.
"You are in a safe zone do you want to change settings?" Y/N
'Change settings, da hell? … Might as well take a look at it. Yes'
Difficulty: Realistic (default setting of last world)
Questing: disabled on Realistic (affects stats and abilities, and various events)
Name tags: disabled on Realistic (shows names and level above people's heads, does not show up on Pokémon when they use a move like smokescreen)
It goes on to misc. Settings that don't do much to the world; there's a graphics setting but it is greyed out.
I change the difficulty to normal. 'I want a bit of a challenge, but not a cliff wall of difficulty, I might increase the difficulty setting higher if it is too easy to win fights' (Think skyrim's difficulty setting)I then enable both questing and name tags, I close the window.

'At least I have a long-term goal' I let my eyes wander around the room. I notice a computer embedded in the wall. 'I should check on the laws of this world' I carefully slide Alder off of my chest, he stirs slightly but does not wake up. I reached the computer and search up any laws on "poképhilla" (the act of making love to a Pokémon). After a 5-minute search, there is a law on it, but not against the act itself, just that it has to be consensual. 'Seems to be laws against rape for Pokémon, that's nice.' After that I search up on how you can get your trainer's license to be revoked, most of the laws are on making sure you don't push your Pokémon far enough to permanently injure them. I then researched what I would need to know about to pass the test, I compare what people say to study, most of them recommend the same books that the nurse did. I also learned that their was requirement that those who passed are tested with a stone that glows with different intensities for some reason. Not many people know why but many say it is a test that won't affect your chances of getting a trainers license.
"Dad what are you doing?"
"aaaaahhh!" I screamed as I did what had to be a re-creation of a cat jumping to the ceiling when scared. Alder visibly flinched when I screamed.
"Did I scare you dad?" He asked with trepidation in his voice.
"holy" I mumble obscenities "Yeah you did, I didn't hear you wake up, don't worry about it to much. I was researching about the things I need to learn to get the trainers license" I smiled at him as I glanced at the clock. "lt's 7:08, breakfast should be available down stairs, so give me some time to change, okay?"
"Okay!"
5 minutes later I come out of the closet wearing a mainly black hoodie with a pokéball on it, with blue jeans, and red sneakers. (my character's casual wear consists of a white or black t shirt, hoody, and blue jeans)
"Okay! Now let's get some breakfast!" As alder and I walk down stairs, we were passed by a girl that is 4'4 with green hair that fades into black going down a bit past her shoulders. She is in a black dress with a mid-thigh length pleated skirt with a moderate-orchid colored line near the hem, and long sleeves with thick cuffs with a moderate-orchid colored trim at the base of the cuff. Over this dress is a moderate-orchid colored vest similar to a school-girls top with dark grey buttons, with a black bolo tie worn under the collar. Under her dress is a pair of black tights, for shoes she is wearing black slip-ons. She has a moderate-orchid colored beret worn slightly off center. She is walking with a zoroark. I say hello to her, she responds by nodding, and walks faster, followed by her zoroark. 'Well you can't always get the response you want'
Alder and I walk in to the cafeteria portion of the pokemon center, there is about 36 or so pokemon trainers of varying types, ages and sizes. There are buffet stands with a variety of food, from doughnuts to steak, and berries. I tell alder to pick out what he wants, while he thinks of what he wants I grabbed a steak n' eggs, with bacon as a side. Alder picks out 2 Oran berries, and half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We head to the drinks stand, the options range from health drinks to soda's. I pick out a berries juice mixture of oran, sitrus, and chesto berries. I choose this to make sure that I have the energy to get through the day, I make a smaller cup for Alder to have. We spend 20 minutes eating, we grab our trash and toss it out, we put the utensils in a box of blue liquid (this has bit of alcohol in it, it's to sterilize the utensils).
"Okay, Alder let's make our way to the trainer school." He nods and comes to me and sits on my head. As we exit the door I pull up my mini-map and locate the school, it's a few blocks down the road. So, it takes us only a couple of minutes to get to it. The outside of it looks like pokemon sun and moon school just with more classrooms and parking spots. I walked in to see kids ages around 8-10 talking about various topic ranging from the newest fashion trend to what pokemon was the coolest, some waved at me with a friendly smile and go back talking to their friends. I find the reception area to be manned by a lady with grey glasses, black hair that went down to neck length. She is wearing a button-down dress shirt with a red scarf under the collar and khakis that stop 4 inches from the feet, she has brown leather slip-ons. (pokemon sun and moon teacher)
"Hi, I want to take the test for the trainer's license." She nods and reaches into a drawer and pulls out a form "fill this out, and we will sign you up for tomorrow's test." It takes me 20 minutes to fill out the form, I hand it in. "Okay Mister Robinson the test is going to be at 9 sharp so be sure to show up. Otherwise we will have to deduct points from not showing up on time."
"Thanks, see you tomorrow I guess." After I leave the school, I go to a bookstore to get the books recommended by nurse Lapis, there are 4 books; pokemon and you, pokemon food, pokemon grooming, pokemon battle stratagems. They cost me all together 41 pokédollars. As soon as I finish purchasing them I get asked if I want to consume them to learn the knowledge that reside in them, of course I say yes. I gain the skills on how to make pokemon food, and how to groom them. I decided to go to a store to get a basic grooming kit, as well as getting a pokeblock kit with some cans to put said pokeblocks into when made (if i pulled out pokeblocks with them being in a container people would look at me like i am stupid) which cost me 36 pokédollars, I put them in my inventory, I now have 23 bucks left. As me and alder talk about what we should do now that I don't need to study we come across a park, so we decide to spend the rest of the evening playing. Alder gets tired quickly, so we head back to the pokemon center. When I walk in lapis reminds me that she wants to do a check up on Alder again, besides being tired she give him a clean bill of health.
After the check up we go back to our room for a couple of reasons, one to let alder have a nap, two i wanted to find out info on how to make Alder evolve without trading him. As I believe that trading is just a shortcut as you should find wild pokemon that evolve this way, unless released of course.
It took me an hour to finish researching a way to evolve Alder. And to my great relief there was, except for some pokemon like karrablast and shelmet. The general rule for pokemon that had to evolve through trading needed to be very strong (5-8 gym strong depending on the pokemon), but pokemon that needed items to evolve like dusclops still needed those items. For Alder he needed to be strong enough for the 5th gym, as well as being in a forest with a nearby fallen tree.
I wanted to find out how Alder(phantumps) came to have the ghost typing, beside the obvious floating. It turned out that the ghost typing comes from the spirit that possessed a rotting stump, and these spirits are 95% kids that got lost and died in the woods the rest were random spirits. But this is where the origin of the species phantump comes from. The ones born from breeding are natural ghost type pokemon. After learning this I turn to Alder, 'I am glad that your not a kid that got lost in the woods only to be abandoned by your new parents.'
"You gain + 1 int for researching about your partner"
I take a look at the clock it was 3 when we got to our room, it's now 4. I wanted to try out the pokeblock kit, so I woke up my taster tester.
"huh, what do you need daddy?" Alder replied tiredly when i woke him.
"I wanted to try out the pokeblock kit that we got earlier and you" pointing at him "are going to help me by being my taste tester" Alder jumped up ( or flew up very fast?) in excitement to try something that i would make for him.
I pulled out the pokeblock kit out of its box. It look like the pokeblock maker from the anime, only it was made to be collapsible, for those who would use it on there travels. There was some pamphlets on how to use them. I decided to abuse the handy dandy feature of my ability to memorize the instructions as well as on how to fix it from minor damage, for example something got into the rotors and how to disassemble it and then how to reassemble it.
I take out 10 oran berries and 2 sitrus berries and put the rest back for use for later.That leaves me with 10 oran and 4 sitrus berries left after this. I borrowed a cutting knife as well as a plate from the cafeteria so i can chop up the berries and not make a mess. From the manual the minimum amount berries should be added is 3. I used 5 oran berries and 1 sitrus berry for each batch. After I got done the pokeblock maker came out with it being 83% blue and the rest being yellow, there were 2 that had some specks, when i used observe on both it said this about them:
blue and yellow pokeblock- a regular pokeblock made by James Robinson
blue and yellow +pokeblock- a contest grade pokeblock made by James Robinson
"new skill acquired: pokeblock baker"
pokeblock baker level 1 50% to next level
this is your skill in making pokeblocks, the higher the level the more delicious the pokeblocks will be.
increase chance of getting +pokeblock by 10%
I gave one of each type to Alder. The regular pokeblock didn't do anything to him it just feed Alder. The +pokeblock made Alder give off an aura of beauty and a bit of toughness. 'seems that the +pokeblocks are for getting the right aura off for pokemon contest, i'll keep this just in case i want to use them but i probably won't ever use them, if i don't i could sell them.' It seems that Alder seems to love the sitrus flavor. Alder favorite food has now become the pokeblocks, I don't have a problem with this as pokeblocks are really healthy and i tell him he can have them as a side to a meal as long as we have them. He is really excited to hear this, i gaze at the clock it's 5:30, gosh that took me a long time to do. 'it might of taken me that long because i never did it'
"Hey let's head down to get dinner" i said to Alder. Once we make it to the cafeteria i pick out mac and cheese with mash potatoes with brown gravy. I choose for alder since he doesn't know what he wants to get, i pick out some pokemon food made for ghost grass type pokemon. As we look for a place to sit down at, I notice the girl in the green hair from this morning. She looks to be studying by having her zoroark quiz her with flash cards. I walk to them hoping to find out what she is studying for.
"Hi there, can we join ya?" The girl and zoroark stop what there doing and look at me and Alder then they look around.
"Yeah, i know their empty tables, but i saw you guys this morning and wanted to say hi." I put my food tray down on the table and take a seat. The zoroark looks at the girl and says this.
"Don't worry about him focus on the test."
"Oh so what test are you studying for?" i asked inquisitively.
The reaction of both the girl and zoroark were priceless. They look so dumbfounded that I understood what zoroark said that it took them, till i said something.
"Oh, yeah should tell ya I understand pokemon, so what you studying for?" I ask the girl again.
She readjusted herself in her seat and turn to me " I am studying for the trainer's license test that is tomorrow." "Yeah and i am helping my kit here by using these here flashcards."
"kit? does that mean you see her as you daughter?"
"Yep I sure do, best daughter you'll ever have." At this statement the girl blushed a bit in embarrassment but quickly covered it up with a emotionless face. One might still not see the embarrassment on her face, but it was still there. As I was an expert on body language.
"That is what all mothers say when they have a good daughter." I looked at the zoroark with a teasing smile. She responded back with a bit of laughter.
"Anyway my name is James Robinson, but call me James. I am also taking the test tomorrow." I said with a smile.
"My name is Corina Sinclair, but call me Rin. How long have you been studying for the test?" she asked me with the same fake emotionless face, but it had curiosity written all over it. Do to my skill in body language. 'I already knew what your name was but i didn't call out your name out because anyone would be put on edge if a stranger knew your name'
"Me? I started and finished today. If you want to find out if i am lying or not, just use your cards there." They look at me with an incredulous look before they went through the cards. 'probably to find one the harder questions'
Rin pick up a card and read it "What do you do when your pokemon stops obeying you?"
"hmm, well I need to find out the cause of it, and depending on why it stopped. I would take the correct steps to fix it."
"Okay, how about if the cause was that you weren't giving it enough respect?"
"Well in that situation it would be hard for me to imagine as I think pokemon are equals to us humans, some even are our betters in some places. But if that is the cause I think I would take the time to bond with it again so I can regain that respect from them. Be it in the form of getting it's favorite food or a simple training session. My method of getting back the respect of them would depend on the type of pokemon themselves as each pokemon has their way of dealing with problems just like us humans." I said after some thought. they both think this over and nod saying that they agree. They continue to question me on things from how to stop when a battle gets too dangerous, to how to properly groom a pokemon.
"So once you get your trainer license what is your goal going to be?" I asked
"Our goal is to just to survive at the moment. We don't really have any grand goal like becoming the best out there, just good enough that we can support ourselves." Rin said after sometime.
"I see" i hummed it over
"And what are you wanting to be?"
"Oh me I want to be a master, a pokemon master that is, but my goal right now is to become a champion level trainer." I said with a excited smile. They both smile at me, as i seem to have a long term goal, and a longer term goal.
"Anyway it's getting late, Alder and I should get to bed soon" I said as I point to alder who finished eating a while ago and was playing with zoroark tail, she didn't mind as she was use to children being so playful with it.
"If I don't see you tomorrow morning, I wish you luck." I said fondly. After talking with rin, we found each other as friends, so we treated each other as such. I noticed during the quiz that she drop a bit more of her emotional wall to me, I started to wonder why she had one, then I think this. 'We each have our own past some darker than others, I just hope that I can be the friend that she needs right now.'
We said our goodbyes to each other and I headed to my room. Once I get in the room, I gazed at the clock on the nightstand it was now 7:53 PM. "WOW, we spent 2 hours talking man!" I exclaimed. I get changed into my sleep wear, made sure to set the alarm. To make sure I woke up with enough time to get to the school for the test. I set it for 7:30 AM. I Invited Alder to snuggle with me again. We fell asleep one hour later.(I started a tickle fight with him, he won it. Alder's hands just tickled to well, so well that I thought he was using the move tickle).
