-Pokémon-
Early in the morning, Jaune woke up in the bed of the 'camp' that he set up last night. He freshened up and wore his clothes. Last night was an exhausting night. Not because of all the walking and carrying Adrian, but because of his night activity with Saphron and Terra. Well, officially, Jaune is now together with his sister.
After getting ready, he went to the kitchen to prepare food for Terra, Saphron, Adrian and Eevee. When he finished cooking, the two ladies still haven't woken up. Therefore, he decided to head into their room and wake them, but when he arrived, it seems that they were already getting dressed.
After eating breakfast, Jaune told Saphron and Terra that they are staying in the 'camp' for the whole day. This confused the girls, but Jaune explained that he needed to see the capabilities of Eevee and plan training for her. This got the understanding of the girls. They knew that training Eevee is different from training someone like Pyrrha.
"Good luck with training her. Show this world the strongest Pokémon!" Terra said, with Adrian cheering at her words.
With that, Jaune left the camp. He had Eevee follow him; they were going to fight against wild Pokémon in Route 1. The first Pokémon they encountered were Rattata and Pidgey. The Rattata were easy as it was a grounded Pokémon, by Pidgey was a bit more of a challenge as it was a Pokémon that was flying.
"Eevee! Run up the trees to reach Pidgey and use bite on it!" Jaune instructed. Eevee complied with Jaune's instruction, and she was successful in biting Pidgey. After feeling excruciating pain from Eevee's bite, the Pidgey decided to run away.
"Great going, Eevee!" Jaune shouted.
"Eevee! Eevee!" Eevee said.
"Calm down, Eevee. That's the first of many victories that you'll have. Plus, this Pidgey's and Rattata's are quite low weak, but it is still a victory for you nonetheless. Therefore, you are getting special food this evening," Jaune said.
"Eevee? Eevee!" Eevee said.
"Okay-okay! I'll make you something sweet, just like the last time," Jaune said, making Eevee jump in glee.
"I already have a training for you in mind. You want to be the strongest Pokémon, right? Then you'll have to endure the hardship of my training," Jaune said.
"Eevee!" Eevee said.
"That's what I like to hear! Clear determination!" Jaune said.
Jaune and Eevee then headed back inside the camp after a few hours of fighting against wild Pokémon. Jaune explained to Eevee that most wild Pokémon are weaker than Pokémon that travels with trainers as wild Pokémon don't have training. Eevee accepts this answer as she realised that she was doing things that Jaune instructed her to do that she wouldn't have thought herself.
When the Pokémon and trainer arrived in their abode, they saw Adrian playing with Saphron and Terra. They were having a great time, and it became even better when Jaune and Eevee joined them. That evening. Jaune started Eevee on her training regime. True to Jaune's words, the training of Eevee was hard, but at the end of it, she would be treated like a princess by Jaune.
The following day, Jaune and the girls were making their way towards Viridian City. Jaune and Eevee would fight any wild Pokémon they encounter. Slowly but surely, Eevee was getting better at analysing the situation herself and reacting quickly. Jaune's instructions are getting faster and faster. Hence, she must do her best to keep up. But she knows that Jaune is only going as fast as she could go.
After a few hours of walking and fighting, Jaune and the others have finally arrived at Viridian City. It wasn't a huge city. It has a Pokémon centre, a Pokémart, a Pokémon Gym, and many beautiful blooming flowers. After all, Viridian City is a nature-loving city and is in green all year round.
"Wow! This place is beautiful," Saphron said.
"It is, isn't it. It may be a small city, but it is amazing," Terra said.
"So, Jaune. What do you plan to do here?" Saphron asked.
"Well, I thought that you girls would like to stay in a relaxing place for a while, as the city is a few days by foot if we are going at the same pace as today. And I wanted to stop here and stay here for a week. I plan to teach Eevee how to top into nature energy," Jaune said.
"Eevee?" Eevee asked as she didn't know what nature energy was and that she isn't a grass type.
"You don't have to be a grass type to use nature energy as long as I'm here. I'll teach you how to tap into it. It should help you get stronger, and who knows, maybe you may even gain a different eeveelution," Jaune said.
"Eevee!" Eevee shouted. She can't wait to be different from the others of her kind.
"Whoa! Calm down; we don't know for sure if you will evolve into a new type. That's the first time you or any Pokémon will probably be using nature energy and not just any nature energy either. You will be harnessing the nature energy of Avalon," Jaune said.
For the coming week, Jaune drilled Eevee on using Avalon's nature energy. At first, she struggled even to sense it, but with Jaune's instruction, she absorbed nature energy.
Eevee's move set was far more potent when it is infused with nature energy. When she used the move Swift, it could cause a small burst of energy once it hits its target, but infused with nature energy, it became a powerful bomb, and that's not even adding that much nature energy on it.
But that's not all. Due to Eevee taking in Avalon's nature energy, her body started to change, indicating that she was about to evolve. This excited Eevee a lot as it hasn't even been that long, and she was ready to evolve.
With Jaune, there was a feeling telling him to let Eevee evolve in the Manifestation of the World of Faeries. He didn't understand why, but he went with it, as he has never doubted such feelings before, and it paid off.
When Eevee evolved, Jaune was excited to see if there would be a new eeveelution, but it didn't happen. Eevee evolved into a Sylveon, but Jaune noted that it seems different from the usual Sylveon.
Eevee wasn't shiny. It was a regular brown Eevee, but her evolution was different. It wasn't the typical white, pink and light blue Sylveon. Instead, it was white, gold and blue. The usual pink ears of Sylveon were nowhere to be found. Instead, it was Avalon blue. The body of Sylveon was also different. Although it stayed white, it was glistening like a pearl. The ribbon-like thing on her ears and neck was white and blue, but its tip was blue with gold lines, mimicking the lines in Avalon.
"Hah? Would you look at that? You're no longer just a fairy type Pokémon. You are a Fairy," Jaune said.
"Sylveon?" Sylveon asked.
"The difference between a fairy and a fairy type? Well, a fairy type Pokémon can use fairy moves or something. Not sure, but being a fairy is a whole lot different. Hmm? Wait! Since you're a fairy now, does that mean you can use magic?!" Jaune said.
"Because if you can, then you'll have a massive advantage against other Pokémon as you aren't limited to certain move set, plus I can teach you the magic that I know," Jaune said.
"Sylveon! Sylveon!" Sylveon said.
"Okay-okay! Don't get too excited. We don't know yet if you can use magic or which type of magic you can use," Jaune said.
With that, Jaune and Sylveon decided to experiment if Sylveon can use magic, but that was interrupted as Terra and Saphron, along with Adrian, wanted to play with the newly evolved Sylveon.
-Pokémon-
Jaune and Sylveon is in Viridian Forest. It was not far from Viridian City. They came here to test out if Sylveon can use magic as that will be able to give her an edge against the competition, maybe even reach the level of Legendary Pokémon.
The first thing they tested out is Fairy Magic. It consists of Illusions, Nature Manipulation, Healing, etc... The first thing they tried was Nature Manipulation, as Sylveon already has the hang of using Nature Energy. Jaune instructed Sylveon to try and make the tree extend its branch towards her. It wasn't tricky for Sylveon to achieve Jaune's instruction. The trees grew their branches towards Jaune, and Sylveon gave it other commands, such as lifting Jaune in the air, making a hand out of the branches, etc.….
"Well done, Sylveon. You are one step closer to being the strongest Pokémon. Now let's test out other forms of magic. You can control Nature Magic, which means that you aren't limited to your typing. Nature is many things. The weather, earthquakes, tsunami, hurricane, snowstorms, and volcanic eruptions. Those are a part of nature, and therefore, theoretically, you should be able to control each of those elements, being Fire, Water, Wind, Ice, Plantation, etc.…." Jaune said.
"Sylveon?" Sylveon asked.
"I'll explain it all to you later. For now, it is best to see what you are capable of. Come on, show me what you can do. If you can hit me, I'll reward you with the sweetest cake you'll ever eat," Jaune said.
"Sylveon!" Sylveon said.
"Good! Come on." Jaune said.
Sylveon was sizing Jaune up. Over the week of her training, Jaune taught her how to look for openings with her opponent. That's what she is currently doing, but she couldn't find any. Hence, she decided to apply Jaune's second teaching. If you can't find an opening, make one.
Sylveon used Swift along with Nature energy. It bombarded Jaune. But it wasn't enough as Jaune could get away from the explosion without issue, but he couldn't find Sylveon. That's because, during the explosion, Sylveon knew that it would be useless, so she used Quick Attack to move quickly and get behind Jaune. She then used Hyper Beam on Jaune, but her aim was slightly off rather than the centre of Jaune's chest. It went towards his shoulder, which caused it to be easy for Jaune to dodge by swivelling his body to let the Beam miss.
When Sylveon saw this, she didn't give up. She quickly made a new plan of attack. She saw that Jaune wasn't attacking. Therefore, she thought maybe she could deliver a Shadow Ball right in his chest if she gets close enough. Unfortunately for Sylveon, that was a wrong move as Jaune karate chopped her in the neck, causing her to faint on the spot.
'I guess she still has a long way to go, but for a week of training, she not only got strong quickly, but she was able to learn the lesson I gave her with ease and apply them in a spar. Then if that was not enough, she even evolved to a Sylveon,' Jaune thought with a smile.
Jaune picked a fainted Sylveon up and brought her into the temporary house that he set up. That's right, Jaune stopped calling it a camp as it was never a camp but a portable house.
When Saphron and Terra saw that Jaune came back with a fainted Sylveon, they worried about the little cutie. They thought that Jaune and Sylveon might have met with a formidable opponent. But Jaune told them that they didn't, and he was the one that knocked out Sylveon during a spar. Saphron and Terra would've reprimanded Jaune, but they remember that the little cutie wanted to achieve her dream of being the strongest Pokémon and is working hard with Jaune to achieve it. Cuddling her was going to do the opposite.
"Jaune? Can I ask? Why does Sylveon want to be the strongest Pokémon in the first place?" Terra asked.
"It has something to do with how I found her. When I first met her, I was roaming a forest looking for a starter Pokémon. Not far from my location, I heard a whimpering. I got curious and went towards it. It turns out the bigger Pokémon was bullying an Eevee. From there, I helped her out. From what she told me, it wasn't the first time. She was made into their gopher, doing everything the bigger Pokémon told her to do," Jaune said.
"You asked her if she wanted to get back at the Pokémon, didn't you?" Terra asked.
"No. I told her if she wanted a chance to prove that small Pokémon such as herself can be just as strong, if not stronger, than the bigger Pokémon that was bullying her. At first, she didn't agree, so I let her go, but kept watch to keep her safe and drive away the bully. It wasn't until one of the small Pokémon who happens to be a friend of the Eevee got badly injured that she fought back against the bigger Pokémon," Jaune said.
"But it was useless, wasn't it?" Saphron said.
"Yeah. She not only has no training, but she was also not in the best condition as most of the food that she gathers end up with the bigger Pokémon," Jaune said.
"Did you help her?" Saphron asked.
"I did, but only after I knew that she wouldn't be able to keep going," Jaune said.
"Why didn't you help her right away?!" Terra said in anger.
"Helping her in such a situation would be a mockery of her resolve. If I got in the way, she would never have continued in the path she decided to take. She would have just returned to being pushed around. That's why I only got involved when the situation got worse. After that fiasco, I brought Eevee and the Pokémon she was protecting to a Pokémon centre to get healed. I stayed there until they woke up. From there, Eevee started following me and asking me to train her. After all, I did offer to train her before," Jaune said.
When Jaune first met Eevee, he saw the original Jaune Arc in her. Willingness to protect her friends even if she didn't have the strength to defend herself. That's why Jaune decided to offer the training to her, but just like the original Jaune, she declined and left. But eventually, after resolving herself to get stronger so that her friends would never be hurt again, she looked for Jaune to help train her.
"Jaune? What type of Pokémon was Eevee protecting?" Terra asked.
"Oh! It was a Pikachu," Jaune replied.
After that conversation, Jaune headed to the kitchen to cook lunch for everyone. Although Sylveon couldn't hit Jaune, she fought well. So, Jaune decided to reward her with a cake.
-Pokémon-
The following day, Jaune and the girls all headed to Pewter City. From there, Jaune plans to beat his first Pokémon Gym leader, and even Sylveon was pumped up to have a go at a properly trained Pokémon.
"Hey, Jaune? Are you ever planning to give Sylveon a proper name? I mean, Sylveon isn't a name," Saphron said.
"Hmm? Why don't we ask Sylveon herself?" Jaune said, and they all looked at the Pokémon that was walking alongside them.
"Sylveon?" Sylveon said.
"Yeah, a name. We can't keep calling you Sylveon. How about Mary," Jaune said.
"Sylveon!" Sylveon hated the name, Mary. It didn't suit her at all.
"You didn't like that? Saph, what do you think her name should be?" Jaune asked.
"How about Betty?" Saph said.
"Sylveon!" Sylveon said.
"Didn't like that either. Terra? Any suggestion?" Jaune said.
"Jessie?" Terra said.
"No! That's not a good name to have in here," Jaune said. He was Remembering the three-dumbass Team Rocket.
"What's wrong with it?" Terra asked.
"That's because of the group known as Team Rocket. They have this three-dumbass named Jessie, James and Meowth. They are the most incompetent people you will ever meet," Jaune said.
"Oh! I thought you just hated the name," Terra said.
"How about Vivian? That sounds like a lovely name," Saphron said.
"Sylveon! Sylveon!" Sylveon liked the name. It had a nice ring to it.
"Hmm? Is this a coincidence? That name is special when it comes to Avalon," Jaune said.
"What do you mean?" Terra asked.
"Lady Vivian. That's the name of the one who created Avalon," Jaune said.
"I thought that you created Avalon?" Saphron asked.
"Mine is a copy of the original. But ever since I went to a world called Nasuverse, my Avalon synchronised with the original Avalon, and it caused the current changes to my Avalon," Jaune said.
"So, who is this Lady Vivian?" Terra asked.
"It's a bit complicated to explain," Jaune said.
"Then try to explain it as much as possible," Saphron said.
"Fine. Lady Vivian is the good alternate personality of a person, while a person named Morgan Le Fey is the Evil side…." Jaune continued to explain the complexity of the two people. That's just a single person.
"Okay! I still don't understand it properly," Terra said, confused at the things that Jaune told them.
"I did tell you that it was complicated," Jaune said.
"That's not complicated. It's convoluted," Terra said.
"Anyway. It'll just be another ten minutes of walking before we get to Pewter City," Jaune said.
While walking through the Viridian Forest, Jaune and company saw a particular person with a red and white cap. The person seems to be trying to capture a Caterpie. He was concentrated on his task with a Pokéball in hand. A moment later, he tosses the Pokéball at the Caterpie. The ball hits and takes the Pokémon into the ball and started shaking. Not long after, the boy was seen celebrating at capturing the Pokémon.
"I did it! I got a Caterpie! You did it, Ash! You caught your very first Pokémon! It may be small, but getting it is a major step towards being a Pokémon Master!" Ash shouted and started dancing around a girl while showcasing his Pokéball. He then grabbed her and pulled her into celebrating with him, but is just being dragged instead.
"Wait! Hold it! I'm starting to feel dizzy! Ash! Stop!" Misty shouted. Even the Pikachu was feeling dizzy watching Ash drag Misty in circles.
"Geez! What are you doing?!" Misty shouted after she got away from Ash's arm.
"Look! Inside this is the first Pokémon that I caught in my life, Misty!" Ash said in glee.
"Okay-okay! You don't have to be so annoying about it!" Misty said, still recovering from her dizziness. Jaune and company were staring at the dynamic of the duo and Pokémon. They seem to get along just fine.
When Vivian saw the Pikachu with Ash, she got excited. They haven't seen each other after Jaune decided to take her as his Pokémon. She remembers how Pikachu electrocuted every person that came near him. Hence, Professor Oak had to put him into a Pokéball. She never thought that he would ever get a trainer of his own, as he doesn't trust people.
"Sylveon! Sylveon!" Vivian shouted.
"Pika! Pika-pika!" Pikachu shouted when he identified the Pokémon that was call him.
'Hah. So, Ash got the Pikachu that I saved that day. No wonder why it didn't trust anyone. It had a bad experience from Pokémon bullying, which then reflected into people as well,' Jaune thought.
Jaune was looking at the two friends. Vivian told Pikachu that her trainer was the best and will help her become the strongest Pokémon in the world. Meanwhile, Pikachu was saying that his trainer was amazing as well. Jaune just laughed at that. But that was interrupted when he heard Misty speak.
"Hey! That's a cool looking Pokémon. It's very beautiful," Misty said.
"She's right! I've never seen a Pokémon like it. Do you mind if I used my Pokédex to check what type it is?" Ash said.
"No problem," Jaune said. He knew that it wouldn't register in the Pokédex. He tried. For some reason, it's not registering Vivian as a Sylveon.
"What the? It's not registering," Ash said.
"What kind of Pokémon is it anyway?" Misty asked.
"She's a Sylveon. One of Eevee's evolution," Jaune explained.
"Hah? Isn't Eevee's evolution either a Vaporeon, Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Jolteon, Flareon and Glaceon. I've never heard of an Eevee evolving into a…what did you call it? Ah! A Sylveon," Misty said.
"That's because it isn't a common thing. Evolving Eevee into a Sylveon requires a tremendous amount of trust between trainer and Pokémon," Jaune said.
"I see…? Hey! How about a Pokémon battle?! Your Pokémon seems to be acquainted with my Pikachu. What do you say about a little mock battle against the two?" Ash said.
"Are you sure?" Jaune asked.
"Sure! Why not?" Ash said with confidence.
Well, alright," Jaune said.
Jaune then called Vivian to his side, while Ash called Pikachu to his side. The two Pokémon seems to be ready to have a battle. But Jaune already knew that this fight was one-sided. Ash's Pikachu seems to have been barely trained.
"Pikachu! Use quick attack!" Ash shouted.
Pikachu then started running at high speed towards Vivian. But Vivian didn't react to what she saw, as it wasn't enough to faze her. All Vivian did was sidestep, and Pikachu's Quick attack missed.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted before he hit a tree since he couldn't stop fast enough.
Vivian saw this and decided to act. She used Iron Tail to smash Pikachu into the ground. Pikachu didn't even see it coming. Iron Tail would have been enough to knock out Pikachu if Vivian was serious. Still, she knew that she didn't have to put too much power into her attack to beat her opponent, as she can analyse Pikachu's current strength and apply an appropriate amount of force to beat him.
"Pikachu!" Ash shouted.
"Pika-Pika," Pikachu said weakly. He couldn't stand properly after the hit that he took from Vivian. But Ash couldn't understand him and instead thought that he wanted to keep going.
"Now, use Thunderbolt!" Ash instructed Pikachu.
When Jaune saw this, he was disappointed that Ash couldn't see that Pikachu was no longer in shape to fight. But he understood that Ash was still a beginner at being a trainer.
Pikachu used his remaining strength to try and hit Vivian with a Thunderbolt, but it was too late as Vivian was already beside him without him noticing. Vivian used her version of Quick attack to arrive beside Pikachu and deliver a simple Tackle, knocking Pikachu out.
-Pokémon-
When Ash saw that Pikachu fainted from Vivian's attack, he rushed to his side to check his condition. After inspecting Pikachu and find out that he was alright, Ash was relieved.
"Pikachu, you're alright," Ash said.
"Pika-pi," Pikachu said weakly.
"You'll be okay. I just need to bring you to a Pokémon centre and ask nurse Joy to bring you back to full health," Ash said while picking up Pikachu.
"You don't have to heads into the Pokémon centre. Vivian can heal Pikachu for you," Jaune said.
"Sylveon?" Vivian said.
"Yeah. I taught you how to do it earlier, remember," Jaune said.
"Sylveon!" Vivian said. Remembering that Jaune taught her how to use Fairy magic. Healing is one of its abilities.
Vivian then used her magic to heal Pikachu. While Vivian was healing Pikachu, Jaune was looking at the reaction of Ash and Misty, then he smiled. From the looks of it, magic seemed no different from Pokémon moves. That means that Vivian can safely use magic with no one the wiser. Moments later, Vivian finished healing Pikachu.
"Pika-pi!" Pikachu said. Giving his thanks to Vivian.
"Sylveon!" Vivian replied. Accepting his thanks humbly.
"You're Pokémon is amazing! What was that move called?" Misty said.
"It's called Healing Song," Jaune replied. The reason he named it that is because when Vivian uses it, she makes a singing voice.
"That's a very powerful move when used in a team battle," Misty said.
'Oh, you don't know the half of it. But then again, I don't plan to catch any other Pokémon,' Jaune thought.
"So, where are you guys heading?" Jaune asked.
"We're heading towards Pewter City to challenge my first ever Pokémon badge," Ash said.
"That's cool. I'm doing the same," Jaune said.
"Awesome! Do you mind if we tag along? It's better to travel with more people. It's safer too," Ash said.
"Sure, no problem," Jaune said.
The group of people then headed to Pewter City. While walking, Jaune realised that Misty was acting weird. Thinking back in the show, Jaune remembered that Misty hates Bug Type Pokémon. That's why she was acting strange. Ash had Caterpie on his head.
After a few hours of walking, it started getting dark. Jaune decided to set up the house and invite Ash and Misty. The two were amazed at how Jaune could bring out a house from such a small capsule. Jaune was confused at their amazement.
'What the hell?! Doesn't a Pokéball have something like a world inside it to cater for the Pokémon captured in it? How are they amazed at my DynoCaps? It's a less advanced version of a Pokéball,' Jaune thought.
The next morning. Jaune and the others continued walking to Pewter City. It was then that Jaune encountered his very first Team Rocket moment.
"Prepare for trouble! And make it double! To protect the world from devastation! To unite all people within our nation! To denounce evil of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above!" Jessie and James took turns speaking.
"Jessie!" Jessie introduced herself.
"James!" James introduced himself.
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!" Jessie said.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" Jame said.
"Meowth! That's right!" Meowth said.
Terra and Saphron looked at Jaune after Team Rocket's introduction.
"Are they the people you were talking about? If they are, I get why you didn't want to name Vivian Jessie," Terra said.
"That's them. They're kind of funny, aren't they?" Jaune said.
Ash and Misty were looking at Team Rocket. Ash didn't want to deal with them again. As for Misty, this was the first time that she was dealing with the three.
"Uhm…We're kind of busy…So do you mind just doing this another time?" Ash said.
"Quiet little boy! We're not here to listen to you. We aren't even here for you. We are here for that White and Blue Pokémon that kicked the butt of your Pikachu," Jessie said.
"Sylveon?" Vivian said.
"Now. Hand for that…Hey, Jessie? What kind of Pokémon is that exactly?" James asked.
"I don't know. I've never seen anything like it before. Maybe it's a new type?" Jessie said.
"Well, whatever. Just hand over that Pokémon!" James said.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! You want Vivian? Why don't you try and get her yourself?" Jaune said.
"We'll just do that then," Jessie said.
But before they could even move towards Vivian, they felt that something in their feet was holding them down. They looked at it and saw that tree roots were holding them in place. They tried to move, but it was clamping down, hard. Not long after, the branches of the trees grabbed them and then tossed them into the air.
"Team Rocket's blasting off!" Jessie, James and Meowth shouted.
"That was…" Terra said but couldn't complete her words as she didn't have a good word to complete the sentence.
"Stupid. Idiotic. Dumb. Moronic. Take your pick," Jaune said.
"All of them," Terra said.
The group continued walking to Pewter City after the fiasco with Team Rocket. An hour later, they finally reached the end of the Viridian Forest. As they walked out, they were visited by the stunning city of Pewter. It had a lot of trees and buildings.
"We've finally arrived in Pewter City!" Misty shouted.
"I thought we'd be stuck in Viridian Forest forever!" Ash complained.
Jaune ignored Ash and looked at the huge city, as it's his first time seeing a huge city in the Pokémon World. The only places he has been so far having been Pallet Town and Viridian City. None of which can compare to Pewter City.
"Whoa! This place is huge! I'd say that it's bigger than Argus!" Terra said.
"If you're amazed by this, then you'll surely be amazed at the size of Vale. Pewter City is only about a third of Vale," Jaune said.
"Seriously!" Terra said. She has never gone to such a big city as Pewter City, and to find out that Vale was three times bigger was mind-blowing for her.
They all continued walking. After some time, they arrived at the city gates. When the group entered the city of Pewter, Ash and Misty decided to head to the Pokémon centre. Meanwhile, Jaune wanted to find a place to sit down and relax. They found a nearby fountain park and sat down on the available benches.
While Jaune was sitting on the bench with Adrian, Terra and Saphron were acting like a tourist. Well, they are a tourist. They were taking pictures of the places, but the two ladies weren't satisfied. They wanted Jaune and Adrian in the photo with them. Jaune complied as it was a good record of their memories.
Hey guys! I'm finally Back! It kinda sucks that I wasn't able to get the M1 MAcbook since my order got cancelled, but whatever. I still like the new one that I bought.
Anyway enjoy the new chapter.
-Draconic Deus-
Serafall was with Sona in the Student Council room in Kuoh Academy. She was talking to Sona all about Jaune, but there was a problem. Sona doesn't seem to remember who Jaune was. No matter what Serafall tells Sona about Jaune, she doesn't remember him at all. This confused Serafall. She remembered Jaune talking to Sona, so why doesn't her sister remember her boyfriend? She doesn't get it.
"I'm telling you, Sona-chan, that I do have a boyfriend! Why do you not remember him?! He was there in the Peace Treaty! He was the one that killed Fenrir," Serafall said.
"I don't know who it was that killed Fenrir, but I don't remember it being killed by somebody with the description that you just gave me," Sona said.
"What? Then what did the person that killed Fenrir look like to you?" Serafall asked.
"He looked shadowy. It's like when you look back in your memory that you've forgotten and try to remember. It's foggy and shadowy. That's what he looked like to me when I try to remember that person," Sona said.
'Wait. Could this be something that Jaune did, or is it something else? Rias and her Peerage seems to remember Jaune just fine. What's the difference between them and Sona's Peerage?' Serafall thought. She doesn't understand why some devil such as Sona and her Peerage and the young devils in the Peace Treaty did not remember Jaune. But people such as Rias and her Peerage and the Satans remember him well.
'What's going on? I need to speak with Jaune when he gets back. It sucks having a boyfriend that your sister doesn't even remember,' Serafall thought.
-Pokemon-
Saphron and Terra pulled Jaune and Adrian around to take pictures the other day, but it was already getting late when they arrived in Pewter City. Therefore they didn't have much time to see as much as they wanted, so today, they were touring the entire City of Pewter. As for Vivian, she wanted to explore on her own, which Jaune allowed as she was strong enough to protect herself. Plus, with some of the magic that Jaune taught her in their journey to Pewter City, she should be able to escape if something was to go wrong.
At the end of their touring of the city, Terra asked Jaune if he was planning to challenge the Gym Leader of Pewter City any time soon. Jaune told her that he would challenge Brock the next day. For now, he wanted to spend some time with his son and two girlfriends. Those words made Saphron and Terra smile.
The following day, Jaune was ready to challenge Brock for his first badge. Jaune and the others entered the Gym of Pewter. The first thing they saw was darkness. Looking around, the girls could not see anything, but Jaune can. He can see Brock. The man was sitting on top of the stairs meditating. Moments later, the lights on top of Brock turns on, revealing him.
"What are you doing here?" Brock asked the people that walked into his Gym.
"My name's Jaune. I'm here to challenge you for the Boulder Badge," Jaune said.
"I see. But do you think that you're ready for such a challenge?" Brock asked.
"I am," Jaune said with confidence.
"Then show me what you can do," Brock said. Then the area in front of Jaune and the girls started shaking as a Pokemon battlefield appeared.
"The rules are simple. We will each use 2 Pokemon. In the middle of the battle, we are not allowed to switch Pokemon. The first person to win both battles win," Brock explained.
"Do I have to have two Pokemon? Because I only have one, and I plan to keep it that way," Jaune said.
"That's fine. But if your Pokemon loses, then you are out," Brock said. Jaune nodded his head and told Vivian to get on the arena that appeared earlier.
The first Pokemon that Brock brought out was a Steelix. Jaune was surprised. He thought that Brock would bring out Geodude or Onix, but it was a welcome surprise when Brock sent out Steelix as he realises that not everything will go according to the Pokemon show.
"You know. For a trainer to challenge this Gym, I would have used Onix and Geodude, but against you, I have this feeling that you aren't going to be like other trainers. I can feel an Aura of confidence and power coming from you. That's why I decided to use Pokemon that I've trained for a long time," Brock said.
"That's fine by me…Vivian, let's show him what we got!" Jaune shouted.
"Sylveon!" Vivian shouted.
The battle between Sylveon and Steelix was incredible. Sylveon may have gotten stronger, but she didn't have that much experience with fighting just yet. Meanwhile, Brock's Steelix was conditioned to fight for some time. Jaune can even see that it would avoid Vivian's attacks on his own without the instruction of Brock.
During the battle, the landscape was not in Vivian's favour. Therefore, she used her nature energy to sprout trees, grass, flowers and all kinds of plant life to give her an advantage. Doing this, she was quickly able to take the upper hand against Steelix. Seeing this, Brock asked Steelix to break tear down the trees so that Vivian wouldn't use them to her advantage. It was a futile act. The trees weren't typical trees to begin with. They were trees born from Vivian's nature energy, and they are incredibly durable. The moment Steelix hit the tree, it did not damage it at all. Instead, Vivian used this opportunity to command the trees to grab Steelix and slam him to the ground, which knocked the Pokemon out. And that was the first fainted Pokemon of Brock.
Next, Brock sent out a Pokemon that Jaune didn't think he has, and that was a Golem. Brock sent out this Pokemon, hoping that it would have enough mobility in the arena that altered in favour of Vivian. But alas, Golem was more hopeless against Vivian than Steelix. Vivian just used her ribbon to grab Golem and start bouncing him up and down like a basketball.
Jaune laughed at this, and so did Saphron and Terra. On the other hand, Brock was shocked that Vivian could lift Golem as it was a Pokemon that weighed over three hundred kilos (661.4 lbs). Not long later, Vivian was getting tired of using Golem as a ball and decided to knock out the Pokemon but blasting it with water magic. Oh, and if you're thinking that Vivian was cruel to Golem by using it like a ball, don't, because Golem loves falling off mountains, being used as a ball is nothing to the Pokemon. With that, the battle between Jaune and Brock has come to an end. Brock gladly gave Jaune the boulder badge.
"Congratulations on gaining your first Pokemon badge. I'm glad to have fought someone like you. It showed me that I have more to learn," Brock said.
"It was great fighting against you," Jaune said.
With that, Jaune and the girls left the Gym. Moments later, Ash came into the Gym to challenge Brock, but that's not important as he is not the hero of this story, and he never will be.
-Pokemon-
The following day after, Jaune beat Brock. Saphron and Terra informed Jaune that they wanted to return to Remnant. Although they loved the experience of being in another world, they did miss home, especially Adrian. Jaune agreed to both of his girlfriends' requests.
Vivian didn't know what was happening until Jaune explained that they were heading back to their homeworld. She didn't know what to make of this, but Jaune told her she was coming with them. Plus, when she gets to Remnant, she would have more time to train. This made her excited but worried Jaune a bit, so he sat down with Vivian and told her that she needed to have some hobby rather than just training all day as that wasn't a healthy lifestyle. Vivian listened to Jaune. She knew that Jaune was looking out for her.
But before Jaune and the group return to Remnant, Saphron and Terra wanted to watch the Pokemon Beauty Contest. The pair of mothers was so excited when the show started. They kept taking photos of all the Pokemon in the contest. They decided to return to Remnant when all was done, not even waiting for the next day.
-Remnant-
When they arrived in Remnant, it was already dark. Adrian and Vivian were sleepy, so they put them to bed for the night. However, it was another story for Terra and Saphron. The two women had another plan for Jaune, and they wanted to have night-long fun with him. Jaune didn't mind this, and he was even excited.
The following morning, Jaune did not return to Beacon as he still had a week break. He wasn't like the other Professor at Beacon. He didn't have to spend a lot of time doing paperwork, like how Glynda used to be until he gave her a personalised A.I. that helped her.
What Jaune is currently doing was planning to expand the Human and Faunus Territory. The first thing he thought was to create a new city that people can live in. And one place came to mind, Mt Glenn. After the break, he planned to ask Ozpin how to get ownership for the Land of Mt Glenn.
Jaune wanted to re-create the city from scratch, but this time he was planning to make sure that no incident like Merlot would happen, which won't since he intends to create the city on his own, with his tech. He wants to see what he was capable of without his Arc of Embodiment.
Jaune then took out a Research Module from his storage ring. This Research Module is a device that Jaune made to contain all his Research Data. Plus, it has enough processing power to calculate anything that Jaune requires. Jaune has used this device to create various things when he isn't using his Arc of Embodiment. Right now, he plans to use it to create a holographic blueprint of a city that he intends to make for the new Mt Glenn.
Jaune wanted the new city to be a haven for Faunus and Humankind. For that, he would not only need to create a beautiful city but a fair law protecting both races. Jaune used his memories from his previous world to remember the regulations regarding racism. He wanted to use that to re-create it for the city that he was designing. He made notes of everything he remembered. Although the memories of his previous world's law are helpful, he would need to adjust them to work on Remnant.
-Orario-
For the past few days Jaune has been gone. Hephaestus couldn't stop thinking about him, to the point that it was getting in the way of her work. Her Familia members are even getting worried, and they've never seen her in such a state.
Tsubaki, Hephaestus's most trusted person, was not as worried as the other Familia member as she knew why her Goddess was acting the way she was. And it was starting to irritate her. Jaune this, Jaune that. 'When do you think Jaune will come back?' Or 'Do you think Jaune will come back?' These were the questions that Hephaestus would ask Tsubaki repeatedly.
"Hah…Hephaestus-sama. He already told you that he would return in the future. You must be patient. And it's only been a few days. You're acting like it's been months since he left," Tsubaki said.
"But that's what it feels like to me…Is that weird?" Hephaestus said.
"No, not really. You're not the first person to act this way, and you won't be the last. I heard that the Sword Princess from the Loki Familia was acting the same way as you. Though a bit more reserve," Tsubaki said.
"Really? Now that's surprising," Hephaestus said.
"Um. Everyone thinks so too. A lot of her admirer has been looking for the person that made her that way. They want to teach that person a lesson. But I highly doubt they would be able to," Tsubaki said.
"Oh? Why is that?" Hephaestus asked.
"There is a rumour that Ais is interested in Jaune Arc," Tsubaki replied.
"Ha-ha-ha! If it's him that she's interested in, and he was the reason she was acting the way she is, then those people don't know who they're trying to mess with. Even I feel scared when I recall his status," Hephaestus said in a serious tone after her laughter.
"Why do you say that Hephaestus-sama?" Tsubaki said.
"What I'm about to tell you isn't to leave this room, do you understand?" Hephaestus said.
"I understand," Tsubaki said. From the tone of Hephaestus voice, she knew that what she was about to hear was not some trivial matter.
"Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames," Hephaestus said.
"Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames? What's that? I've never heard of it before," Tsubaki said.
"A powerful magic. It scares me. I don't know how he acquired it, but I know it wasn't from the dungeon or a Grimoire," Hephaestus said.
"What makes you so sure that he wasn't from a Grimoire?" Tsubaki asked.
"Because magic gained from a Grimoire aren't powerful enough to incinerate a God's soul," Hephaestus said.
When Tsubaki heard what Hephaestus said, she was utterly shocked. The power to incinerate the soul of a God is no laughing matter. To have something that powerful would make God's paranoid if they find out. She finally understood why Hephaestus feared it.
"How is something like that possible?! To be able to achieve that kind of power is to be as powerful as a God, but that has never happened before," Tsubaki said.
"Just because it never happened before doesn't mean it isn't possible. Jaune is living proof of that," Hephaestus said. Tsubaki contemplated on what Hephaestus told her.
-Remnant-
Three days have passed since Jaune and his two lovely girlfriends have returned to Remnant. Jaune's been busy since then. He's been trying to write down all the laws from Earth regarding racism and other regulations that he could implement on the city he will build. And he's finally completed it. All he must do now is ask Ozpin for help regarding the Vale council to hand over the ownership of Mt Glenn. That way, he would be able to start development. He's even designed a robot that could help him speed up the creation of the city.
"Preparations are nearly complete. All that's left is to gain the right to Mt Glenn. This isn't going to be easy. The Vale council aren't the best of people. They are greedy for power and will do anything to stay in power," Jaune said to himself. He then started thinking of a game plan.
Jaune couldn't think of anything now. For some reason, blackmailing the council members is the best course of action that Jaune could think of. He didn't want to do that. However, if push comes to shove, then he will willingly resort to it if he must. Is it the best idea? Maybe not, but sometimes you must do bad things to help people as long as it doesn't end up killing them or isn't too morally deplorable, especially if you are dealing with asshats.
It's been a week since Jaune started his planning for Mt Glenn. He spoke to Ozpin about acquiring the rights to Mt Glenn, and Ozpin agreed to his idea, but he was also informed that he would have to find a way to convince the Vale Council to agree and how it would be a challenge since Mt Glenn was one of their biggest failures.
Jaune already knew all that, which is why he was prepared. He knew that the Vale Council would be unwilling to hand over Mt Glenn since if his plans of making a city were successful, the Council would be seen as incompetent for not being able to protect the new city that they created.
Right now, Jaune's heading to Ozpin's office as that's where he would be speaking with the Council. Jaune wasn't happy about this as they couldn't even be bothered to speak with him in person. It was an indicator that they aren't willing to have an open negotiation with him. The Council speaking with Jaune is only a courtesy since he is quite popular with the people due to being the youngest Huntsman, youngest Beacon Professor, and the Arc Industries owner.
As soon as Jaune arrived at his destination, he was in serious mode. He didn't want to give any leeway to the Vale council. Doing so would provide them with the idea that they are in control of the situation. Jaune may have a use of Mt Glenn, but that's not his only option. After all, there is still the desert of Vacuo. He was sure that the Vacuo Council would easily permit him to create a new city there.
When Jaune entered Ozpin's office, he saw the Vale Council on the holoprojector. They were waiting for him to arrive, which he was on time. They didn't look interested in the proposal that Jaune sent to them. A few of the Council members are even missing. They didn't bother showing up.
"Ah. Mr Arc. You're just in time for the meeting of the Council Members of Vale," Ozpin said.
"So, this is Vale's youngest Huntsman. He doesn't look that anything special," C1 said.
"And you don't look anything special yourself," Jaune said. He was not courteous at all. He already knew that they would be an ass the moment they met him as he was a young man.
"Watch your words, young man! You're the one who requires something, not us," C1 shouted.
"I may be the one that needs something of you, but this isn't a favour, but a business deal. I plan to buy the rights of Mt Glenn, not ask for it. Now, name your price," Jaune said. He didn't care about the Council members at all.
"We aren't going to sell the rights to you! The project of creating a city in Mt Glenn already failed. What makes you think that you will succeed in something that we the Council of Vale failed?" C2 said.
"Because I'm not you," Jaune said in a mocking tone.
"Why you?! We came to this meeting as a courtesy since you are the most recognised Huntsman in Vale, along with Qrow Branwen and Glynda Goodwitch. We don't care about the proposal that you sent us," C3 said.
"I already knew that was the case. That's why I prepared this…." Jaune said while sending them some files.
The moment the council members present saw what was in the files, they started sweating. Their words began to stutter. The files were the illegal activities of each of the council members. Some were about them working with organised criminals within Vale. Some were about the assassination of a previous council candidate that was about to replace them. And lastly, the files of the real reason that Mt Glenn failed.
"How did you get your hands on these files?! We made sure that we got rid of all evidence!" C2 shouted.
"Just because you deleted the file doesn't mean that they are completely gone, Councilman," Jaune said.
"You hacked into our system!" Council 3 shouted.
"Hack? I didn't even have to. You morons each have the same password, 'Password'. I don't know how you became council members… Oh! Wait, I do. You killed the competition, literally," Jaune said.
"What do you want?!" C1 said.
"You already know what I want," Jaune said.
"Fine! We'll hand over Mt Glenn's rights to you," C2 said.
Just like that, Jaune was able to gain the rights to Mt Glenn. It wasn't the best move, but he did it anyway since he was disgusted with the things they've done over the years. And one of the things he hated the most was the fact that they control the hospitals of Vale. They would put restrictions on who was allowed to be treated and who wasn't. It angered Jaune. That's why, after signing the contract, he would send the evidence to the Vale Police. Apparently, the Council doesn't have control over all the Vale police force. One of them is controlled by Beacon, the only Police Force that is competent, as the Council wasn't paying them. It was the same police force that Ozpin brought Ruby into when he spoke to her about joining Beacon.
"Hah? That was the fastest meeting that I've ever had with the Vale Council. What was it that you sent them?" Ozpin said.
"I sent them their illegal activities. They are people that are willing to do anything to stay in power and showing them their dark side. That's enough to scare them," Jaune said. He then showed Ozpin what the files contain.
"Are you going to let them keep their power? I may not have known you for long, Jaune. But I know that you're a good person. I know that you won't let someone this vile stay in power," Ozpin said.
"Oh. They won't stay in power for long. I plan to send the evidence to the Beacon police force in Vale," Jaune said.
"I see that you've already researched which Police force isn't on the Council's payroll," Ozpin said.
-?-
Later that night. Jaune went to speak with the OTG, which he would do every week. Today though, the visit isn't about just sharing stories with OTG. Jaune wasn't feeling good about himself, and he was feeling guilty of blackmailing the Council Members and the fact that this wasn't the first time he blackmailed someone. He feels that he is becoming like one of them. And he didn't like that feeling.
"It's good to see you, Jaune. I see that you're not in the best of moods," OTG said.
"I know that you already know why I feel this way," Jaune said.
"That I do. But it would be best if you didn't beat yourself over it. Yes, you indeed did the same thing they did, but you also didn't do the same thing they did," OTG said.
"I don't follow," Jaune said.
"Tell me, Jaune. Why did the Council Members do what they did?" OTG said.
"They did it to stay in power. To cling to something that they didn't want to lose," Jaune said.
"That's right. Although what you did can be said to be the same as them, it is, in fact, not the same. They did what they did for themselves. And the fact that they caused harm to innocent people. You, on the other hand, didn't do it for yourself. You did it to give the people of Remnant a better place to live, a place for Humanity and Faunus-kind to expand and prosper. Your motivation is different from theirs," OTG said.
"I know that, but I can't help but feel that I'm becoming one of them. I chose the blackmail path just because it would be the fastest way," Jaune said.
"No, you're not, Jaune. You feel the guilt of what you've done. They don't. You hesitate to repeat what you've done wrong, but they don't, for as long as it would keep them in power. Sometimes, evil is necessary, as long as it isn't excessive," OTG said.
"It still doesn't change that I feel shit about myself for getting on their level," Jaune said.
"Of course, you'll feel bad. You're not like them. You're a good man, Jaune. And I don't see you changing anytime soon," OTG said.
'In fact, I don't see you changing at all. I've looked through multiple futures of yours, and none of them is any different from the person standing in front of me,' OTG thought.
"Thanks, OTG. I think I just needed to speak to someone," Jaune said.
Although Jaune said that he was still contemplating if what he did was right. Though he couldn't contemplate much since even OTG didn't say much about it, but that doesn't mean he would do it a lot. Maybe he would only do it when things were dire.
The following day, Jaune got started on bringing the group back together. The first thing he did was head to Menagerie to pick up Blake. It wasn't a pleasant experience. Ghira chased Jaune for hours. The Panther Faunus wouldn't relent. In the end, Jaune was able to outlast him since he has better stamina.
"You! Why didn't you tell me that you started dating my daughter?!" Ghira shouted.
"That's because Blake wasn't ready to tell you yet. I was respecting her choice. If she didn't want to tell you yet, then who am I to inform you?" Jaune said.
"That's…true. Fine! But promise me that you'll take care of my little girl. Don't treat her the way that bastard Adam treated her," Ghira said.
"That's something I can promise you. I genuinely care about Blake. I won't do anything that she wouldn't like, and I'll do what I can to protect her, even if she doesn't need it since she is strong enough to protect herself," Jaune said.
"Oh…That's so sweet. By the way, Jaune. How are your other girlfriends?" Kali asked. Jaune was confused about how Kali knew that he was dating multiple people. Then he looked at Blake and realized that Kali was able to make Blake spill the beans.
"Other girlfriends? You bastard!" Ghira shouted angrily.
With that, Jaune ran away. He could beat Ghira, but he didn't want to do that. So, he just left, for now. He headed to the mountain behind the Belladonna household. Why? To meet with Ahri, of course. Ever since Ahri grew to be an enormous nine-tailed fox, she's been living in the mountain. Jaune would visit her as much as he can, but now that he has a way to help her return to a more manageable size, he would like it if she would tag along with him just like Vivian.
"Ahri! Are you there?!" Jaune shouted out. After shouting, Jaune felt the ground start to shake. That's because Ahri was running towards him.
Ahri was a beautiful looking Nine-tail fox. She has gorgeous white fur all over her body, but her foot has black fur on it, along with the tips of her nine tails. She also has blue eyes. She was big. But she has the personality of a child at the age of nine. That's because Ahri doesn't grow at the same rate as a Fennec Fox, which she used to be. That's the reason Jaune must take care of her and why he wants to bring her along with him. When Ahri arrived in front of Jaune, she started to caress her face on him. She missed him a lot.
"It's good to see you too, Ahri. I have good news. I found a way to help you return to a smaller form," Jaune said.
Ahri got excited when Jaune told her that. She has been longing to stay by Jaune's side. That's why when Jaune said to her that she would be able to go with him again, she was excited and happy. She even started to lick him.
"Whoa! Calm down, Ahri. I was able to learn something that can help you, but you'll have to learn it just like how I had to learn it," Jaune said. Ahri nodded at Jaune and was ready to learn whatever it was that can help her follow Jaune.
Jaune then started to teach Ahri how to use transformation magic. The progress of Ahri surprised Jaune as she was able to partially transform in an hour. She was able to lessen her size to half her current size. Jaune had to leave for the night to speak with Ghira about his relationship with Blake and the other girls. He wanted to explain the situation. Ahri, on the other hand, continued to practice her transformation magic. Shrinking her size wasn't good enough, she wanted something else.
The following day, Jaune went to visit Ahri once more before he left for Vale. He shouted for her, but he didn't feel the shaking he usually feels when he calls for her. But instead, he was hit in his abdomen by something. Looking down, he saw a little girl with white hair and blue eyes. On her cheeks was three red markings signifying a whisker. Jaune was confused. He didn't know who this little girl was, and he didn't even know how she got in Ahri's abode in the first place as he placed a protective barrier around to prevent people from entering as Ahri's form would have scared the people. It took Jaune a moment, but he felt a familiar signature on the little girl. It belonged to Ahri.
"Ahri! Is that you?" Jaune asked.
"Papa! I finally did it! I was able to complete the transformation magic!" Ahri shouted.
"Ahhhh…Did you just call me Papa?" Jaune asked.
"Un! You are my Papa!" Ahri said.
Jaune didn't know what to say at first, but he didn't hate the idea of having Ahri as a daughter. So, he just accepted it. After all, he was the one that took her in on that faithful day.
"You completed the transformation magic? I'm so proud of you!" Jaune said. He was surprised that she was able to complete it so quickly. Even the Xenos in the Garden City of Hanging Babylon took some time to learn it.
"Uh-huh! I wanted to be with you. That's why I worked hard to complete it overnight…." Ahri said with a yawn. She didn't get enough sleep as she didn't want to waste any time.
"Are you sleepy?" Jaune asked.
"Uh-huh…I didn't sleep long because I wanted to surprise you," Ahri said.
"Well, go on and sleep. I'll carry you," Jaune said. He then carried Ahri in his arm. She then fell asleep on Jaune's shoulder.
Jaune then headed back to the Belladonna household. Blake, Kali and Ghira were confused when they saw that Jaune had a little girl in his hands.
"Jaune? Who's that?" Blake asked.
"This is Ahri. She is my daughter," Jaune said.
"Since when did you have a daughter? I thought you only had a son?" Blake said.
Jaune then proceeded to explain to them who Ahri was. Blake understood everything, but Kali and Ghira didn't. That's because they aren't aware of magic. He had to explain to them the existence of magic and other worlds. But Kali and Ghira pretended that they didn't hear anything Jaune said as it was way over their heads.
"Anyway. Jaune, are we heading back to Beacon?" Blake asked.
"Yeah. Classes start in two days. I have to also bring everyone back. I have to head over to Draconic Deus to pick up Koneko, then head to Atlas for Weiss, Penny and Winter, then Patch for Yang and Ruby, although they might just take the bullhead to Beacon as they aren't that far away. Then I have to head to Argus for Ren, Pyrrha and Nora. Apparently, Ren and Nora have an announcement to make. As for Neo, she told me that she was already at Beacon," Jaune said.
"By the way. What are you going to do with Ahri?" Blake asked Jaune.
"Well, I was thinking of telling Glynda and Ozpin if she can stay at Beacon," Jaune said.
"If she is anything like you told my parents and me, then it would be best if she was around you. Plus, you are the best person to teach her about the world," Blake said.
"Also, Ahri would probably bite other people if they tried to get close to her," Jaune said.
"Why would she do that?" Blake asked.
"Well, you see, when Ahri gets nervous, she tends to bite. It's a lot better now, but she still tends to bite, especially when meeting new people," Jaune said.
With that, Jaune, Blake and Ahri headed to Beacon. Ahri didn't want to use Yamato's portal as she wanted to see everything she can, as she missed out on it for a long time. That's why Jaune had to take out his Quinjet. The travel was a lot longer, but it was worth it to look at the smiling face of Ahri whenever she sees something new.
(Ahri Fox Form)
(Ahri Human Form)
I bet I got a lot of you people thinking that Ahri was going to be in the Harem. Too bad.
The following day, Jaune, Blake, and Ahri headed to Atlas to pick up Winter, Weiss, and Penny. Jaune wasn't planning to bring Ahri initially, but he had to since she didn't want to leave his side as she finally got the chance to be around him for an extended period of time. Therefore, Jaune asked Blake if she wanted to come to Atlas as she didn't have any company at Beacon.
Like the other day when Jaune brought Blake back to Beacon, they used the Quinjet rather than Yamato and just opening a portal. That's because Jaune wanted to show Ahri the floating city that is Atlas. Although not as beautiful as the Garden City of Hanging Babylon, it is still quite a sight to see.
When they arrived in Atlas, Blake and Ahri were amazed at the sight of Atlas. It was a massive floating island. The architectural design was beautiful, but they didn't like that Atlas was overshadowing Mantle, the city below Atlas.
"Well, we're here. What do you think of Atlas?" Jaune asked.
"It's as beautiful as they described it, at least on the surface. And did Atlas have to float above Mantle? Why didn't they move it away? It's like they're saying that they are better than the people below them," Blake said.
When Jaune's Quinjet was close to Atlas, it was hailed by Atlas Military. Jaune told them their purpose and how long he plans to stay. After all that, Jaune was permitted to land in one of the Military landing pads as Ironwood told the officer that Jaune was his guest. As Jaune landed, Ironwood greeted him.
"Jaune Arc. It's good to see you. Yet at the same time, I'm afraid that you'd do something crazy," Ironwood said.
"Ha-ha-ha! I do plan to do something crazy, but that would only happen if you permitted it," Jaune said.
"Oh? And what would that be?" Ironwood asked.
"Didn't you read the proposal that I sent you? Because if you did, then you'll know that it's crazy, but it will help bring the four kingdoms together…Well, five kingdoms if Menagerie is to be recognised as one of the kingdoms by at least three of the four kingdoms," Jaune said.
"What? I don't remember receiving anything of the sort. Give me a second," Ironwood said. He then contacted the other Council Members of Atlas.
Ironwood was livid after he was told that the proposal was thrown out as it was made by a young man such as Jaune. They didn't even read the content. That's not all. Ironwood was angry that he wasn't told of a meeting that occurred when they were reading proposals for the city of Atlas. He held two seats in the council, which means that his vote holds weight on decisions that have been made.
"Sorry, Jaune. But something came up. As for the proposal you sent to the Atlas Council, do you mind sending it to me? I want to give it a read. If there is anything that I've learned of you for nearly a year, it is that you do incredible things…though you're still an ass of blackmailing me for Penny," Ironwood said while mumbling the last part. He wasn't as paranoid as he was in the show.
"Well, I'll leave you be now. I know that you're here for the Schnee family and the Polendina down at Mantle," Ironwood said before leaving.
"He seemed a bit weird. Jaune? Did you do something to him?" Blake asked.
"I may have blackmailed him once before," Jaune said.
"Why?" Blake asked.
"It was to release Penny from Atlas military service," Jaune explained. Blake just nodded in understanding.
Jaune, Ahri and Blake headed to the Schnee Family Manor first as they were already in Atlas. When they arrived, they saw that the Manor looked different from the time that Jacques was arrested. The Manor was no longer covered in white. It feels a lot more homely.
"This place seems different from before," Blake said.
"Yeah. It feels more like a home now," Jaune said.
Jaune then proceeded to ring the bell of the house to notify them of their presence. It did not take long before someone opens the door. Jaune was surprised to see Whitley opening the door, and he was expecting a maid or a butler like Klein to open it.
"Can I help you?" Whitley asked. His eyes went wide when he saw who it was at the door.
"Hi. I'm here to meet Weiss," Jaune said.
"Oh, My Oum! Oh, My Oum! You're Jaune Arc!" Whitley said while acting like a fanboy.
"That I am. And you are?" Jaune asked. He knew who Whitley was, but it was better to ask for his name.
"Whitley. Whitley Schnee. The younger brother of Weiss and Winter," Whitley said while bringing out his hand for a shake.
"It's nice to meet you, Whitley," Jaune said while taking his hand for a shake.
"Ahem! Sorry for my behaviour. Where are my manners? Please, come in. You're probably here for my sister, Weiss," Whitley said while gaining his calm.
"That we are. But we don't mind getting to know a family member of Weiss and Winter," Jaune said.
Whitley was containing his excitement. He was in front of the man who could make other Huntsman look like amateurs when they fight Grimm. Ever since he saw that video of Jaune in Menagerie fighting a horde of Grimm, he started to research online more about him. What he found was shocking. It turns out the company that was able to surpass his family's company was, in fact, Jaune's own, the Arc Industries, and he should have seen that coming since they have the same name, Arc.
Whitley, after researching about Jaune, became a fan. He has wanted to meet him ever since. That's why he was trying to keep his cool as he didn't want Jaune to see him as one of those crazy fans, like the ones that the 'Invincible Girl' had or the creeps that try to court his sisters.
"Well, then. Follow me. They're in the garden having tea," Whitley said.
When they arrived in the garden, Weiss immediately run towards him, but when she realised that she was quite unladylike when she ran towards him, she stopped and fixed herself before walking towards Jaune. But when she saw Ahri, she didn't care about being ladylike. She dashed towards her and picked the poor girl up, and started embracing her. This wasn't a good idea. Ahri tried to escape, but she couldn't as Weiss was holding on to her, she only had one course of action, and that was to bite Wiess in her hand.
When Weiss lifted Ahri, it was instant regret. The pain she was feeling from Ahri's bite was immense, and you have to remember that Weiss body is no longer comparable to normal humans. This shows just how strong Ahri is, even if she is only using her teeth.
"Ahhhh! What in Oum is that girl's teeth made of?! That hurts a lot!" Weiss shouted.
"Sorry about that. Ahri is quite shy, and she doesn't like being picked up unless I'm the one doing it," Jaune said. He then demonstrated how Ahri isn't biting him, even after he picked her up.
After being bit by Ahri, Weiss was tending to her hand. Luckily for her, it didn't break the skin. Therefore, it won't take long for the pain to subside. The problem is, everyone knows that Weiss has Aura, meaning Ahri's bite shouldn't have hurt her, as her Aura should have blocked it.
"Weiss? Why didn't your Aura block that bite?" Willow asked.
"Well, about that. I can explain…You see, I don't have Aura anymore. It was converted to something Jaune calls Mana," Weiss explained.
"Mana? What's that?" Whitley asked.
"Jaune made extensive research on Aura. He found out that Aura is just a degraded version of something called Mana. With Aura, we can create a forcefield around us, increase our strength, speed and endurance. All these things are possible with Mana and many more," Weiss said.
"Just how smart is that boyfriend of yours? First, he created an entire city for the Faunus in Menagerie within a few days. Second, he was able to create a company that was able to surpass the S.D.C. in months. Third, he was able to create that R.I.G. suit that he sent. Just what else is he capable of?" Willow asked.
"You have no idea. Jaune can create more advanced suit than the R.I.G., such as the suit that we wear every time we go on a mission, the nanite suit," Weiss said. She then proceeded to show them the suit that covered her entire body.
"That's amazing, Weiss. But if there is anything truly amazing, then it is Jaune's bigger on the inside than the outside," Winter said. Until now, she's still impressed by the technology.
"What's that?" Whitley asked.
"Imagine a small box the size of a mini-fridge. Now, when you open the fridge, suddenly the inside is as big as our family mansion," Winter said.
"Whoa! That kind of technology feels like it came out of a comic book! I would love to see some of his other technology!" Whitley said. He's been wanting to see what it would be like to have technology that people say is impossible.
"If you'd like, I can show you some in the future," Jaune said.
"Why not now?" Whitley asked.
"Unfortunately, as much as I would like to show them, I don't have much time to waste as I have more people to bring back to Beacon. But if you want, I can bring you to Beacon with Weiss and Winter, and they can show you around my base. How would you like that?" Jaune said.
"That would be awesome! Mom, do you mind if I go with Weiss and Winter to Beacon?" Whitley said, he then turned around to his mother and asked.
"I don't mind. But would it be okay if I join in?" Willow said.
"I don't mind at all," Jaune said.
With that, Jaune, Blake and Ahri waited for the Schnee family to finish their packing. Winter needed many clothes as she would be living in the teacher's quarter at Beacon, or she can stay at Jaune's base just like Glynda. After a few hours of waiting, the Schnee family completed their packing. And they had a lot of stuff.
"That's a lot of stuff," Blake said.
"Here, use this…." Jaune said while handing Winter a DynoCap. Winter then looked at it and didn't know what I was and how to use it.
"What is it?" Winter asked.
"It's a DynoCap. You click the button on top, then you throw it at the object that you want to store into it," Jaune said.
Winter did what he said, and she was amazed at the technology. Once again, it is another technology that is bigger on the inside than the outside.
"Okay…How many more tech do you have that's bigger on the inside than the outside?" Winter asked.
"A lot. I mean, it is a useful technology. Can you imagine not needing to remove some stuff just because you have limited space? With this tech, you don't have to, since it would be able to accommodate everything you need," Jaune said.
"That's true. But won't organising it be a pain since you would have a lot of things on it?" Winter asked.
"Yes, it would. But with a bit of tweaking, I was able to create a hologram of everything inside the DynoCap. It would be able to organise the items inside and use a search feature to look for the item that you need to take out," Jaune said although he said that. He knew that it was a lesser version of the A.I. on his and the others nanite suits.
"Now, before we head back to Beacon, I need to head to Mantle," Jaune said.
"Do you need something in Mantle, Jaune," Weiss asked.
"Yeah. I need to pick up Penny just like you guys," Jaune said.
"Are you talking about Penny Polendina? The first-ever Synthetic human," Willow asked.
"Mom? How did you know that?" Winter asked.
"Oh, please. Ironwood isn't that good at keeping secrets. He may have been able to trick the Council of Atlas, but his methods won't work on me. After all, my dad taught me how to spot lies. I just wished that I used his teaching on Jacques. I guess the saying that love makes you blind is true," Willow said.
