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
To the reviewer that wrote this review
"... who am I kidding? POKÉMON!"
-Are you sure?-
"Yes"
-sending you to Warhammer 40k-
I lost my shit when I read that, lol.
Now to the next reviewer, Alstao, that exactly the type of review I want to get, straight up suggestions, not demanding I do something just suggestions, which by the way I will try to keep story pace good. As well as character development, I always hate stories that fast forward character development or that make it nonexistent, of course skill gains are going to be gain a lot faster due to the way of the gamer ability works.
To the next thing the is that I had to switch to google docs to write this story,(I did not own a activated word) because of this any auto corrects that word fix's is not the happening, I am very use to having word autocorrecting(I used my schools word when ever I wrote something), "i" to be auto fixed that I that am not in the practice of writing uppercase I.(during making this paragraph all "I" were "i")
Next is that I need to clarify something my character will be able to have physic abilities, just that he will need to be trained on how to use them. I didn't want my character be like ichigo from bleach from the get go, but to be a physic he needs his int to be much higher than it is right now to be able to use any psychic abilities (let's 70 int is the requirement). These psychic abilities will be not be as strong as a person who is naturally able to use them ie; sabrina. But after a while they can be but they will be it will take skill point to level it up after a while.
And next as of writing this, the story is now in 2 communities. Which is amazing.
Read This
My character doesn't spam observe on people because he believes it is an invasion of privacy, of course when he is about to battle he will use it but he tries to respect people privacy.
Now on to level ups. When my character levels up he will gain the follow
Levels: 0-9
5 stat points
10 skill points
Levels: 10-19
6 stat points
15 skill points
Levels: 20-29
7 stat points
20 skill points
Levels: 30-39
8 stat points
25 skill points
If you can't see the pattern yet, goes like this; every increase of 10 levels I gain +1 stat points, and +5 skill points.
Now I am going to skip explaining stat points as they should relatively straight forward if you have played a game.
Skill Points act like experience to skills, and will require more the higher level they are.
Levels: 0-9
1
Levels: 10-19
2
Levels: 20-29
3
So on and so forth, the pattern should be obvious.
If I level a skill without using said skill points I gain exp towards my exp(the one used for leveling up).
I have also renamed natures love to nature's blessing.
Now to what pokemon my character will have, they will be any pokemon that I love the design of. I choose phantump, because I get the friendly ghost: Casper, feeling from him.
I now have a relative going over the chapters for it's readability(grammar), if you see this
Reviewed by SonOfPichu on (date)
That means that he has gone through it and made corrections.
Then I have a new beta reader
Next to chapter updates, i can currently promise at least 1 chapter a weak minimum, if more are added during that week that mean I had some inspiration to write a bit. If there isn't a chapter that weak it might be a long one or real life events got in the way.( I went out of town, so I couldn't write much, writing on the phone on docs was okay but it was more time consuming so I didn't do that)
Chapter 7
The Test
I woke up again at 6:45 am again. When I woke, alertness came to me rather quick. I looked at alder, he was sleeping peaceful. I smiled, the type of that you get when you see a child and think "I am responsible for this bundle of joy, I must protect it!". I got the same question about changing settings, I said no to it this time. I decided to check my level up that i got yesterday.

I Thought of where I should spend my points, but after 5 min of indecision I came to the conclusion that i will save both points since I can level up my low level ones pretty easily still. I then check what I had in my inventory system.
Inventory:
Berries:
10 Oran berries
4 Sitrus berries
Pokéballs:
1 Friendship ball
10 Broken Pokéballs
Key Items:
Pokénav (old and outdated version)- only map feature- it show old info on towns and what they have. (gyms, pokemon center, local attractions, updated one syncs with a server and shows upcoming tournaments nearby)
Hoenn Region Map - This map shows all connecting roads to towns and cities, This does not show city layouts, This can be absorbed for a overworld map.
Clothing
When I saw the 10 broken pokéballs I facepalmed. 'I total forgot about those, let's go see what I can get for them down stairs at the pokémart section of the pokemon center' (pokémarts only have base items for sale, no tms, or those special pokeballs for example; dusk ball, quick ball, timer is why there are superstore pokémarts) I went over to Alder to wake him up. 'I would of gone without him, but he would assume I adbadon him like his previous parents so I didn't leave him in the room.' He still wanted to sleep so I held him with one arm,(he is currently small enough to do this with) It was 7 when I left the room.
I walk up to the pokémart counter, there is nobody their, so I ring the bell that is on the counter. Out of a door that had cloth with the pokemart symbol on it, came a man with a pokemart clerk outfit on, he was 5'6 with brown hair, he also wore black rimmed glasses. (pokemarts are like 24/7 convenience stores)
"Hello.." he spots alder sleeping and talks quieter. "what can I do for you today?"
"Thanks, for lower your voice. I found these pokéballs on the road when i was coming here I was wonder if I could get anything for them?" I show and hand them to the clerk so he could look them over.
"Hmm, I can give you 5 normal pokéballs for these, if you don't want that many I can give you some money for them."
After some thought I decided to take 2 pokéballs, He hands me 600 pokédollars. My eyes widen at the amount.
"The Pokéball Company buys these broken balls off of people for half what a new pokéball is."
"It's they how the incentive keeping the wilds clean of this, by buying them back, of course they pay more if the pokéball is refurbishable, which all those are." (a broken pokeball that isn't refurbishable is worth 25 Pokéballs, one that can be is worth 100, reason for the price difference is that there is a faster turnover for profit on the refurbishable one)
I look at my hands where my new found wealth was. 'People could easily make a living doing this.' (People do make a living cleaning the wilds of pokeballs that trainers throw haphazardly) I used my new found wealth to get some potions(20 of them they were on sale buy 15 get 5 free, they were 10 bucks for each), and some full heals(I got 10, they were buy 6 get 4 free, 30 bucks for each), then a book on treating injures. After making the purchase I was left with 270. I was asked If I wanted to adsorbed the book, of which I responded by saying yes.
"New Skill acquired Doctoring"
Doctoring Level 1
How well you treat injuries
Can currently treat superficial to minor injuries.
This can be level up by treating injuries.
'I should ask the nurse later when i am free for an afternoon if she needs help treating some pokemon that have minor injuries, so I can level this up.'
'Now what should I do?' I look back down at my new wealth in my backpack. 'I know let's go see if i can set up my own bank account.' (I can use the inventory system for this, but I thought it would of been weird if someone just pulled out a large sum of money out of nowhere.) I checked the clock in the store if I would have enough time to do so, it read 7:19. I don't know where a bank is. (mini-map only shows public runned places, example the school, and pokemon center.)
"*ding*"
"New Quest added"
Get a bank account
You have decided to get a bank account
Objectives:
Get a bank account
Reward:
+10 exp
+200 pokédollars
I turn to the clerk. "Umm sir, do you know any banks willing to work with me to get an account set up with them?" He looks at me and thinks.
"I think there is a couple let me write them down." he grabs a note from the notepad writes them down. "These banks won't open till 8:30." he says as he hands me the note.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it!" I say as I give a warm smile of gratitude.
'I sure am getting a lot of notes kinda wished I had a menu for them'
"*ding*" "Note Menu added" *sweatdrop*
'Again with the convenience' don't get wrong this is great, just a bit ridiculous.
After I am done talking with the clerk, I decided even though I have the information in my head I wanted to quiz myself on the harder questions. So after some searching I found a practice test for the trainer's license test. When I started it was 7:25, I studied for the test till 8:10, some of the questions were on how intelligent pokemon are, depending on what stage, how old, and what species (their origins) they are, determined how intelligent they are (how well they speak).
"*ding*" "+1 int for studying"
During this time alder woke up, he was hungry now. I told him we don't have much time so we will grab a snack from the cafeteria. This snack was a cinnamon sugar toast with a berry mix drink for "mind power" as the sign above the drink stand said for it. I get alder a drink aim at grass type pokemon (think flavored fertilizer water, alder will say it tastes great).
"*ding* Buff added Food for thought, you have eaten food that provides these buffs: +2 int +1 wisdom for 4 hours"
I widen my eyes. 'I can get buffs from food… no wait I didn't get one last morning or last night dinner, so it's only for some food.'(I did gain a buff for the berry juice it just wasn't a stat boost, it was a status effect that prevented sleeping for 4 hours)
Once we finish eating, I asked alder to go into his cherish ball until after the test. He wanted to stay out until we get to the school, which was a something that I could allow. He came to me to be held in my arms.
When I reached the school I was directed to a auditorium. When I enter the auditorium there was 400 kid's and I think there were about 46 or so adults. The level range of the kids was 2-3, the adults level range was about 5-6. 'So I am as strong as an adult' As soon as I finish that thought something happened.
"SLAM" The doors to the auditorium all closed at the sametime. A Lot of people jumped at the loud noise, including me. 'Well that is a bit over dramatic'
Then someone appeared and spoke through the speakers in the auditorium.
"Thank you all, for making it all on time, now that the doors have closed those who were late have failed the first test." "I am Walter Flair, and I am the proctor of the second test. The second test is the written one." Walter Flair was a bit of a chubby dude, not fat but big enough for him to be considered chubby. He was wearing a vanilla grey tuxedo suit, and stood at 5'6.(I know this has the naruto chunin exam written all over this, but i swear that it wasn't on purpose)
A random kid spoke up "First test?"
"Yes, the first test was if you could make it to something on time. Too many times people who are entered in a tournament either arrive late or never show up. This is our way we cut down on those people, this has work for the most part as the chance of that happening now a days are about 5%." Walter responded.
Everyone hummed that response.
"Now you will be randomly given a number, this number is the room you will be take the test in." he said as he pointed to a large screen. People started to move to their testing area's. After some time I found were I was on the list "34". I make my way to classroom 34, when I entered I didn't see anyone I knew. 'Kinda wished that Rin was in my testing room.' (I did see her in the auditorium, but I did get the time to meet up with her)I took a seat in the middle row (13 seats by 5).
After 10 mins of people coming into the classroom, the teacher came in, and turn out to be the lady that manned the reception desk. She look at all of us and gave a happy smile "Wow so many for this test thats is really rare for me to have this many in this testing room!" "Hello I am Hannah Scarlet, I will be you testing examiner. If I catch you cheating or you are found out that you cheated after the test, you WILL fail! As cheating is not tolerated." she says making an emphasis on will. She starts to hand out the test packets when she noticed something on someone's wrist. "Mr. Ethan show me your wrist!" she said in a demanding voice. The kid in question froze and after sometime showed it to her. The look on her face went from upset to disappointed. "Mr. Ethan you have a choice go to the bathroom to wash it off, or I fail you right now." you could actually tell she held this kid in high regard, because she sounded so disappointed.
"Yyes ma mam!" Ethan said in a scared tone as he ran toward the bathrooms. We didn't start until he got back and was looked at again for anymore notes.
The test was on what you should do and what you shouldn't do, what items to use when your pokemon has a status effect like poison or paralysis. There's also a question on the proper procedure for releasing a pokemon. Which was to go to a pokemon center or go to a pokemon professor and tell them that you have a pokemon that you want to release. Depending if they were caught or raised, they would either go back to the wild if they were determined that they could survive in the wild again, or they went to a daycare or a preserve if they weren't. If you didn't do this you could have your license revoked. The time it took for me to complete the test was about 1 hour and 15 minutes.(there were 35 multiple choice questions and 10 explain questions) There was still 35 min left, I felt a little tired so I put my head down to rest until it was over.
"Okay, Put your pencils down!" Ms scarlet Said loudly enough to wake those who finish early. She told us to hand our papers in to a tray on her desk. She then told us to meet in battle room 3B and to wait there to tell us who passed.
When I walked in the battle arena was the size of a tennis court.
"Hey you!"It was the kid that got into trouble he walk up to me. As he walked up to me I look at what he looked at because he was in the back of the room so i didn't get a good look. 'Huh he kind of looks like brandon'(the male protagonist name of the hoenn games) "What's your name?" He asked me.
"Huh? Oh names James Robinson, why do you ask?" I said with a confused face. 'I have no idea why you are coming to me'
"Oh I was asking cause your the first person to finish the test, was it easy for you or something."
'I was, I didn't even notice' "I didn't notice that, and it was pretty easy, if you love pokemon enough, it should be pretty easy! Wait am I boasting?" He had a visible sweatdrop.
"So how do you think you did on it? I think I at least got 75 or so." he asked with some vigor.
"Me greater than a 90. Best way of making sure you have something right is to constantly quiz yourself not study. I say this cause that is how I learn, constantly doing something over and over to get it." 'huh isn't that how my gamer ability works?'
"*ding*" "+0.5 wisdom"
Bunch of other people were already here too. 'I wondering what's going on, maybe… Yeah that's it, this is were a lot of people fail that's why there so many people are here.'
"So what is your dream?" Ethan asked me.
"Me, I want to be a pokemon master… but for now it is to be a champion level trainer!" I give him a toothy grin.
"Pfft, Champion level trainer, then If we both past I am declaring you my rival, cause I am going to be the next champion of hoenn." He said with a smug look.
"If that is the case then I look forward our first battle. Then I look forward towards our battle at Ever Grande Conference." I responded back with equally smug look.
"*ding*"
Ms scarlet appeared. On the base of a soap box(the referee stand).
"Okay everyone, the top student of the test is… JAMES ROBINSON WHO GOT A HUNDRED ON HIS TEST. This is a rare event as such he will be rewarded for this with a rare pokemon from another region, but only if he can beat one of us teachers with a pokemon we provide him!"
Everyone gasp and a bunch of murmurs of "Whos James Robinson, I've never heard of him", "Hundred just how smart is he"
Ethan turned to me with a shocked expression.
"What I told you didn't I? Someone who loves pokemon A lot would find the freaking test easy."
"But Before we get to that, if you look on the screen here, those marked with an x failed. If you want to find out what you grade was, talk to people that are in the auditorium."
A lot of people, I mean a lot of people failed. 'Da hell this was easy how did they fail?'
It looked like there was only 36 people left. I finally spotted Rin and made my way to her. When I got to her she smiled, and her zoroark was out too and she gave me a sly smile.
"How did you get a hundred? I only got an 80." She said with a pout. Both me and zoroark notice the pout and smiled, zoroark leaned into my ear and whispered "It's rare to find someone that she can trust with her actual emotions… YOU HURT HER I WILL BREAK YOU!" she said that last part with so much hostility that it was palpable. I simply turn to her and whispered back "As long as she doesnt hurt herself, me or my friends(pokemon) I will never will."
Rin look at both of us with a skeptical face. "What are you two talking about?"
I respond quickly "She was warning me not to hurt you, cause I am past your emotional wall, I am telling you cause I want no lies in my friendships" zoroark looked at me with a please smile. 'She was probably going to tell her anyway'
She blushed a bit and said "I only think of you as a friend, currently that is all, as i don't know you very well."
I chuckled which cause her to blush a bit harder "I didn't assume that you did like that way… yet." I said with a teasing smile. This caused her to go into a blushing mess. 'Man why is it so easy to tease you…'
"Now before we get to the torney for you to get your possible sponsorships, we must test you on a stone, we will call you in order of when you sign up for the test." they started calling people. The stone didn't have many reactions to the people here, their was a slight glow for some while some of the glows were a different color. It was time for Rin to go up and touch it. As she touched it the stone glowed a brilliant dark color. This cause some of the teachers to raise an eyebrow at her. Then it was ethan's turn, his didn't glow as strong just a dim glow but the color shifted every now and again. There was many others before me, it took a long time for me to get to touch it. "Finally James Robinson." "What he was the last one to sign up for the test, and he got the highest score possible" these were the murmurs that were going around as I approached the pedestal that the stone was on. As soon as my hand came into contact the stone glowed brightly in many shades of color, so bright that there was a rainbow sun in the room. But this didn't last long as it bursted into a miniature explosion. "Holy hell, What was that!" I said with rubbing my eyes. This was the general expression going on in the room.
The ones in charge just stood there with their jaws drop, that is until one of them said "aa an Aura Prince"
Chapter end
Sorry guys for the long wait I was out of town.
Don't forget to review.
