Chapter 9

Learning

"The first step to earn the prized Wisdom, is to accept our mistakes, to accept that we can be wrong, and that we need to change, even if this is cause of humiliation, sometimes the first step is the hardest to take", -Mark Hunter-

Ramza and Shadow were still trying to digest the scene unfolding before them, it has been two hours since they arrived to the 'Pack Mule' ranch, a pokeranch focused on traveler pokegirls, like Chocoboobs, Mark only took five minutes to choose his pokegirl, a timid and non trained Chocoboob, a young one with no experience outside the safety of the ranch, at first it was hard to understand why Mark selected that one, but after some minutes, the reason became apparent to the two young tamers, or so they thought

"AARRGGHH!!!", Mark near shouted, while falling from the back of his Chocoboob, for the tenth time in a row

"Karma is a bitch...", Shadow muttered, while Dizzy and Mimi were trying their best to not laugh, covering their mouths, but tears were flowing on their eyes, and they weren't for pain

"Wark?", the newly bought Chocoboob tried to communicate on her bird form, it was obvious that she was concerned

"I'm ok, I just need to get used to... this", Mark reassured, many years of trusting only his legs to transport, has made him quite clumsy while trying to ride anything more complex than a normal bike

"Jewel, help?", Jewel asked, thing that made the poor Chocoboob shiver in fear, for Jewel's grip was too strong for her liking

"Thanks, but it won't be necessary, is just a mater of learning together, and then we'll be ready", Mark replied, while climbing again into the Chocoboob back, and this time, he managed to stay there

"YAY! You made it!", Mia shouted in delight, she overcame the taming shock in mere hours, but she only lived to cheer up her tamer and sisters

"HAHA!, good, you are a good girl, Alba!", Mark stated, naming his new pokegirl, he was laughing and smiling, trying his best to ignore the snickers of the other witnesses, he'll get revenge later

"WARK!", Alba exclaimed her happiness at the sound of her new name, from the first time on her life, she felt useful, and for hence, she decided to take her new tamer for a light jog, much to the surprise of Mark

"Watch out!, don't...", Reina tried to warn, but it was too late

"AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!", Mark shouted while falling to the ground, again

"...Fall...", Reina completed her sentence, a little too late, meanwhile at a safe distance, the owner of the ranch couldn't help but to wonder why such tamer would chose a so clumsy pokegirl

Road to Breast Valley, two hours, and fifteen falls later...

"So, is the ride good?", Ramza asked, barely hiding his laughter

"As a mater of a fact, yes, I'm enjoying it", Mark replied, while patting the head of the Chocoboob, who looked on cloud nine, even if she hasn't been tamed yet

"Indeed, quite enjoyable!", Reina added, she too, was mounted on Alba, sitting just behind Mark, hugging him to make sure he doesn't fall, although her hands were a little playful, not that Mark would complain

"At least now we know that he isn't as perfect as he made us think!", Shadow cheered, seeing Mark fail so miserably made him feel more capable now

"That's true, I was starting to see him as a ruthless machine, with bad temper, but now, well, he is more like us if you think about it, just more serious", Ramza replied, enjoying the trip more, while they were going slow for a Chocoboob ride, it was faster and less tiresome than walking by themselves

"Hey!, you!, I challenge you to a pokebattle!", Someone shouted at the side of the road, already with a pokeball in hand, Mark, Shadow and Ramza looked at him, none of them made a great thing about the random tamer

"I don't feel like it, go and find another one", Mark stated, and both Shadow and Ramza decided to negate the challenge too, not wanting Mark to leave them behind

"DON'T BE A COWARD AND COME HERE, I DON'T CARE IF YOUR STUPID WHORES ARE JUST WEAKLINGS, I'M GOING TO HAVE A BATTLE WITH YOU!!!", The Tamer shouted, and his insult got the desired effect on Mark... or so he thought

"How did you call my girls?", Mark asked, and Ramza could swear that the temperature descended some degrees

"Weakling W. H. O. R. E. S.", The tamer replied, and Mark decided it was enough, so, he and Reina descended from Alba, while gently patting her, Alba changed to her humanoid form, revealing a sweet girl standing at 5' 8'', low C-cup breasts, and wearing a funny yellow jumpsuit, there were still some yellow feathers on her head

"So, what kind of battle do you want?", Mark asked, hiding his boiling rage, he was still deciding if humiliating the idiot on a pokebattle, or killing him there in the spot, although he freed Jewel, his second battle pokegirl

"THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE?!..., I don't need any of those!, just a normal battle, with the normal SLC betting", The tamer replied a little disappointed, he was expecting him to have at least a good pokegirl on the popular standards, he'll have to challenge the other two tamers after this

"A normal battle... fine, Rei...", Mark was about to make his choice, but got interrupted

"Jewel! Fight!", Jewel begged, beating the Buzzqueen as her first fight awoke something on her, and she couldn't help but to feel the need to prove her worth to her tamer

"Reina, are you ok with this?", Mark asked to his alpha

"Yes boss, she clearly needs some exercise, besides sending her first will allow us to have some info on our enemy, in case she don't win or get too tired", Reina reasoned, truth to be told, she also wanted to see her strength in battle

"Very well, Jewel, you go first, just don't push yourself too hard", Mark conceded, he was worried, because he knew that geogals weren't a popular choice due to their weakness to several elements

"HA!, A geaogal?!, your funeral!, GO!, ELF!!!", the tamer shouted, while releasing a pokegirl, a very short girl barely at 5', with bright blond hair, blue eyes, and pointy ears, she was dressed in a gowm made of leaves and flowers, Mark quickly scanned her

"Oh Crap!", Mark muttered, he was going to brace himself for two things, a hell of pain due to his delta bond, and the depression of his sturdy pokegirl for her first defeat

"JEWEL! FIGHT!", Jewel shouted, Mark already told her that in battle, she'll have freedom, unless Mark says otherwise, so, she charged, allowing her emotion to take over her intelligence

"ELF!, USE LEAF CUT!", The tamer shouted, and his pokegirl obeyed, sending a barrage of shapr leaves, that opened lot of gashes on Jewel skin, but Jewel didn't stop, she felt the pain of the attack, she felt her body being injured, but the pain, instead of doing something to stop her, only made her angry, then the memory that Mark will share her pain hit her, and that made her angrier, angrier than anything else, she was so fueled on rage, that her speed changed from very slow to average, and that, in a rock pokegirl, only means pain to her foes, although Mark was already rubbing his chest, for he felt the cuts on his own body

"What?!", The Elf shouted in disbelief, any rock pokegirl would have been crushed with that attack alone, but not this one, she and her tamer were in a so high shock, that they failed to make any move to evade the enraged rock pokegirl

"JEWEL! SMASH!!!", Jewel shouted, while impacting with the Elf, the sound was horrible, the bones of the little pokegirl broke with a sickening sound, the damage was so massive, that the life secure of the pokeball recalled her before she hit the ground, the victory was of Jewel

"JEWEL WIN!!!", Jewel shouted in fulfillment, yet breathing hard

"That... that was just a lucky shot!, let's see how you deal with this!, go! Squirtitty!", The tamer shouted, while releasing a blue skinned girl with a turtle shell on her back

"Jewel, it's enough, I'll fight from here", Reina stated, worried for her sister, since she looked already tired, and worried for Mark, who was feeling the same

"Jewel, continue", Jewel said, wanting to go further, she knew that Mark was feeling her pain, but something inside of her was telling her to not stop now

"But sister...", Reina muttered, but Mark put his hand on her shoulder

"Let her be, she want to go further to prove herself, not to us", Mark said to Reina and then looked at Jewel

"Go Jewel!, I know you can win!, I know nothing can stop you!", Mark said to his rock pokegirl, who nodded with happiness, her tamer had confidence on her, and she won't fail him

"Squirtitty!, use water gun on her until she is grounded for good!", The tamer shouted, he knew that the Geogal was near her limit, this has to be a cheap win for him, the turtle pokegirl obliged, and shot a constant stream of water that hit the Geogal square on the chest, it hurt, but Jewel took notice of something, Mark indeed was feeling the pain, but he wasn't complaining at all, and if her tamer was enduring such punishment, she won't be any less, she'll endure it, for him

"JEWEL!, NO LOSE!!!", Jewel screamed, while advancing through the stream of water, it took her a hell of effort, but she got to where the water pokegirl was standing, much to the surprise of the other tamer, The Squirtitty stopped her attack from sheer shock, but Jewel had no more strength to continue, to make a special attack, so, on a last attempt to do something, she trapped the Squirtitty in a bear hug, with not enough strength to break her strong carapace

"Hmph!, she wasted everything on resisting, it's over, she'll never break that shell!", The tamer mocked, although he was still amazed by the prowess of that geogal, he even cursed himself for not have asked for a salvage pokebattle

"Jewel...", Mark muttered, his voice tired and distant, and that almost broke Jewel's heart, it was then that she reasoned, that losing, getting hurt, or being lost, hurt her beloved tamer more than wounds and attacks, she decided to never lose, to never surrender, and if this feeble carapace was what was separating her from not bring sadness to Mark, then she'll make sure that it disappears, three words where then engraved on her mind and heart, for Mark, she'll Smash, Crush, and Obliterate, then a light surrounded her

"What in the world?!", Shadow and Ramza shouted, for this only means a harder to handle brute

"FUCK NO!", The tamer shouted, for this means a sudden adrenaline rush on the evolving pokegirl, which means massive strength all of a sudden

"Hell Yeah!", Both Mark and Reina praised, for they knew that Jewel was a kindhearted girl, massive strength aside, soon the light faded, revealing a grey skinned Jewel, her eyes were still emerald green, but her skin looked, much more harder, and soon Mark scanned her

"JEWEL! CRUSH!!!", Jewel screamed with the fury of a natural disaster, the Squirtitty screamed in agony, her usually strong carapace was fracturing at an alarming rate, and the tamer couldn't help but to recall her, out of fear of seeing her die in a fast and gruesome way, should the life safe failed or reacted to slow

"You!, monster!, now I'll teach you!, go! Amazonchan!", The tamer screamed while calling his strongest pokegirl, a mid level fighting type, one that Reina recognized

"SISTER?!", Reina shouted, but she wasn't heard, as soon as the Amazonchan got out, Jewel grabbed her from her face, raised her into the air with unnerving easiness, and then slamming her on the ground with brutal force, with the back of the head receiving all the impact, disorienting the fighting pokegirl

"JEWEL! OBLITERATE!!!", Jewel shouted, while rising her right foot over the head of the Amazonchan, who was still unable to react, still, the tamer reacted faster than Jewel, recalling his pokegirl before her head was smashed and brain splattered all over the forest, not that this pleased the just evolved rock pokegirl

"You are crazy!, that's not a normal pokegirl!, I'm reporting you to the league!", The tamer shouted, while running into the forest

"That was weird...", Shadow muttered

"Weird it may be, but it's true, no Geogal or Gravelgal can do that, not naturally of course", Ramza added, while approaching the winner of the match

"Mark, are you ok?", Reina asked, worried for the backlash of pain, she felt him in pain, even when his face didn't showed it

"I'll be fine, Reina, just... need... to rest...", Mark managed to say, just before collapsing to the ground, Jewel followed his example, and with a thunderous thud, she allowed herself to rest

"You shouldn't take this much pain for us Mark... and you did well, sister", Reina said to both of her special people, she recalled Jewel, and released Mia to help Mark

"What happened to our Master?", Alba asked, while getting closer, she leaped behind a tree when Jewel started her brutal act, and couldn't come out until said pokegirl was recalled

"He has a delta bond with me, Jewel, and Mia... he just share much pain for a day, please change into your avian form, we need to take him to a hospital", Reina said to Alba, while Mia helped her to lift Mark

"Delta bonds... that can be either very bad, or too good", Ramza muttered

"What is a delta bond?", Shadow asked, and Ramza face faulted

"I felt the fight, I hope Mark is ok, and I hope that Jewel is ok too", Mia suddenly said, earning the attention of the alpha pokegirl

"Really?, you felt them?, interesting, we'll need to discuss that later, for now, let head to the next city, Mark need a good rest", Reina stated, while placing Mark's body on the Chocoboob back, needless to say, Alba was really worried, her sister showed great power, and she couldn't help but to think that she will be asked to do the same
