Anyway, here is part 2. I hope you guys enjoy it!
As they stepped outside, the chances were immediate, no eerie tower or shadows watching from afar, but now stretched a vast, open wasteland. The ground was cracked and dry, with large jagged rocks jutting out in every direction, their shadows stretching long under the sun. Rolling dunes of sand shimmered in the distance, and the horizon seemed to stretch endlessly. This place felt wide open, no sense of lurking danger, no eyes peering from the darkness. Just the harsh, untamed nature of the wasteland.
"This doesn't feel as bad as I thought," Puar said, breathing in the dry, hot air. "It's...kinda like the outside world."
Takibi sniffed the air, his instincts sharp. "Yeah. Just...sand and rocks."
Though after some time just walking with no aim in mind, the tranquility of the barren land was abruptly shattered. The ground trembled slightly, the sound of something approaching as it emerged from behind one of the jagged rocks.
Body was pitch black, its segmented shell glistening as if made of onyx. Menacing yellow eyes, jagged and sharp fangs, dripping with a toxic-looking black substance that sizzled as it hit the ground. Dark purple segments on its body outlined by a faint crimson glow that pulsed with dark energy, and shadowy tendrils wrapped around its limbs, claws, and tail.
The massive claws glowed faintly with a sinister aura, as did the two stingers on its tail, which thrashed violently, leaving behind trails of dark mist as it whipped through the.
"Is that a giant scorpion?" Puar asked.
*Duskion*
Without warning, it reared back and lunged, its stinger aimed straight for Puar, black mist trailing behind it like a deadly comet. Puar barely had time to react as the poisonous stinger surged toward him, but with quick reflexes, he dove to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. The tail slammed into the ground where he had just stood, leaving a deep, smoldering crater that oozed dark energy.
Takibi growled, flames flickering around his body as he prepared to engage. Duskion was ready to attack again, and its movements were quick and erratic.
Puar wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting slightly. "Darn...I nearly got hit by that," he muttered, glancing at the smoldering crater where the stinger had struck. "This place is not just hot, but it's hard to get a good footing," He said, feeling his feet on the scorching sand.
Takibi growled, his eyes locked on the Duskion. "A surprise attack, huh?" he spat, flames flickering around his fangs. "Let's see if a coward like you knows how to fight face to face!"
Without another word, Takibi charged forward, his body becoming a blur of motion as the sand beneath his paws kicked up in his wake, his head began to glow bright white. The sheen of metal-like energy covered his forehead, signaling the activation of *Iron Head*
Takibi leaped into the air, head first, aiming for the massive claws. The impact of the Iron Head collided with one of the Duskion claws with a loud clang, causing the dark energy surrounding the claw to shimmer and crackle. The force of the blow made it stagger back, its stingers snapping wildly as it let out a distorted, echoing screech. But as it regained its balance, it's dark aura flared up, crackling with malevolent energy. Its glowing, yellow eyes narrowed in rage, and with a shrill screech, it lunged at Takibi with newfound ferocity.
The ground trembled as his huge claws snapped at Takibi, aiming to crush him between its pincers. Its stinger whipped around in a blur, striking the ground near Takibi's paws as he dodged just in time, kicking up clouds of sand.
"Dang it! This thing's mad!" Takibi growled, narrowly avoiding another swipe.
The claws slamming into the ground with deafening thuds as Duskion relentlessly pursued him. Dark energy coiled around its tail, and with a quick flick, it aimed a toxic blast of shadowy energy straight at Takibi who twisted its body to dodge, but the blast grazed his side, sending a searing pain through him. He staggered, momentarily stunned by the dark energy.
"Ugh... it's getting faster," He muttered, trying to shake off the hit.
But just as he prepared to strike again, it suddenly stopped in its tracks, hissing in confusion. A large chunk of sand flew right into its face, covering its eyes and momentarily blinding it. he thrashed about, swiping wildly at the air as it tried to clear its vision.
Takibi blinked in surprise and looked over to see Puar, grinning mischievously, his arm transformed into the shape of a shovel "Gotcha!" Puar shouted, flinging more sand at it, its blinded eyes now filled with grit.
Puar laughed as he used the environment to his advantage "A little sand in the eyes never hurts, right? I figured it might slow this thing down a bit!"
Takibi grinned, shaking off his pain. "Nice one, Puar!"
Takibi's eyes glowed a fierce orange as his body became surrounded by a fiery aura. The heat radiating from him was intense, causing the already hot air around them to shimmer.
"Time to end this!" Takibi roared, planting his paws firmly into the sandy ground. The flames surrounding him intensified, swirling around his body as he gathered energy.
With a powerful roar, Takibi unleashed *Fire Blast* as Five massive bursts of fire erupted from his body, each one blazing in the shape of the kanji 大 as they soared toward it. The fiery blasts illuminated the wasteland, casting long shadows as they raced through the air.
Duskion still struggling to clear the sand from its eyes, didn't see the attack coming. The first blast struck its side, sending it reeling. The second and third exploded against its tough armor-like body, causing cracks to form along its dark shell. The final two blasts slammed directly into its chest, engulfing it in an inferno of flames.
It screeched in agony, its form now consumed by the fiery onslaught. The dark energy swirling around it sputtered and weakened as the flames seared through its body. For a moment, it thrashed wildly, but soon its movements slowed, the power of the fire overwhelming it.
As the flames began to die down, it let out one final, weakened hiss before collapsing into the sand, its body smoldering.
Takibi stood tall, flames still flickering around him, panting slightly from the exertion. "That's what you get" He muttered, glancing at Puar.
Puar, his arm now back to normal, grinned. "Damn, you sure are showing up a lot of moves today"
Takibi smirked. "Thanks, but you bought us the opening. Teamwork always gets the job done."
As the smoldering remains of the enemy faded into the sands, the air around Takibi and Puar grew still. But then, the ground began to rumble beneath their feet.
Puar, still catching his breath, looked around nervously. "Takibi, you feel that?"
Takibi nodded, his ears twitching. "Yeah... something big's coming."
Suddenly, the sand in front of them exploded upward as a massive figure burst from beneath the earth, sending chunks of rock and dirt flying through the air. This creature dwarfed even the enemy from before. Its body was a massive fortress of stone and shadow. Black obsidian plates that formed his body, radiating a dark aura. Its two horns gleamed ominously, the upper one twisting like a deadly drill. Powerful arms, tipped with dark cannons, gleamed in the harsh sunlight. Without warning, the beast let out a thunderous roar and slammed its massive fists into the ground, causing a quake that rippled through the wasteland. Massive cracks spread through the ground as rocks shot up around it, each one glowing faintly as if infused with dark energy.
*Darkperior*
"He's huge!" Puar exclaimed, stepping back.
Takibi growled, eyes narrowing. "We've dealt with worse. Let's take him down."
The creature wanted no time as It reached down, picking up one of the boulders that had been shaken loose by the quake. With terrifying strength, it inserted the rock into the cannon-like holes in its palms and fired the boulder directly at them.
"Watch out!" Takibi shouted, dodging to the side as the boulder flew past him, crashing into the sand with an explosive impact. The sheer force of the blast sent sand and debris flying in all directions.
Darkperior roared again, this time charging forward, its horns lowered and spinning like drills, ready to smash through anything in its path.
As the massive Darkperior charged forward, its horns spinning at a terrifying speed, Puar had barely enough time to react. The earth shook beneath the enormous creature's feet as it hurtled towards him with surprising speed, faster than anything Puar expected from something so big.
"Watch out, Puar!" Takibi yelled, panic in his voice, but it was too late.
With a thunderous impact, the Darkperior slammed into Puar, sending him flying backwards like a ragdoll. He smashed into a cluster of jagged rocks, which crumbled beneath the force of his body. Dust and debris filled the air, obscuring the battlefield. Takibi's eyes widened in horror as he watched his friend disappear into the cloud of destruction.
"Puar!" Takibi screamed, his voice filled with dread. "No... You can't be"
But before despair could fully set in, the dust began to clear, revealing Puar still standing. His body shimmered faintly, and as the last bits of debris settled, it became clear that he had survived the blow.
Puar's outer layer of skin had shifted, taking on the gleaming, silver hue of titanium. His feline instincts had kicked in just in time, allowing him to shapeshift and fortify his body. Not only that, but a translucent set of spectral armor surrounded him thanks to the spell Obstetor Armatura. The ethereal armor, though partially cracked from the impact, had protected him from the brunt of the attack.
Panting heavily, Puar wiped some blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned. "Still here, Takibi... but man, that thing packs a punch."
Takibi, relieved but still on edge, called out, "You're insane! How did you survive that?!"
Puar staggered a bit, the strain from the impact showing on his face. "Titanium skin and a little magical help... but trust me, I felt that. Even with the armor, that blow hurt." His voice wavered slightly, acknowledging the strength of their opponent. The fact that the armor had been cracked and Puar's own titanium defense had been tested was a testament to the raw power behind the Darkperior's attack.
The Darkperior, unrelenting, let out another roar, preparing for its next assault.
As Takibi fired off bursts of energy and flame from a safe distance, desperately trying to keep the massive Darkperior at bay, Puar stood behind him, watching. His heart pounded in his chest, and for the first time in this battle, fear truly gripped him. His breath came in short, anxious gasps, and a cold sweat dripped down his face as the weight of the situation hit him.
'This thing could actually kill us if we're not careful…' Puar thought, his trembling hands clenched into fists.
For a moment, the vast wasteland, the oppressive heat, and the towering threat of the Darkperior all seemed to press down on him. His mind wandered to his long-time friend. How had he done this? How had Yamcha stood tall and faced life-threatening enemies? The thought made Puar feel small and fragile. The trembling in his legs worsened, and he wondered if he would falter. Was this the same fear Yamcha felt in his battles? How did he stand up to enemies like this without freezing up?
But then, something clicked inside Puar. No, that's not right. He clenched his jaw and forced himself to breathe deeply, trying to calm the storm in his chest. Everyone's afraid at some point. That's normal. But letting fear take over? That's the real enemy, he is still trying!
His gaze shifted toward the massive Darkperior, towering like a mountain, using its size to dominate the battlefield. It was relentless, attacking without mercy, using its overwhelming strength to break them. Puar's fear began to subside, replaced by a spark of determination.
'If size and strength are what that thing relies on… then I'll show him the same'
Puar straightened, his trembling beginning to fade, and a sense of resolve washed over him. He couldn't afford to let fear win. Not now. Not after everything they had been through. He had to keep fighting for Takibi, for Yamcha, for himself.
He closed his eyes, focusing on the feeling of his body as it began to shift and morph. His muscles expanded, bones lengthened, and his entire form grew larger and bulkier. His once small, lithe frame stretched into something massive, prehistoric in size and power. His fur gave way to thick skin, and his face elongated into a trunk. Massive, curved tusks grew from either side of his mouth as his transformation completed.
When the dust settled, Puar had transformed into a mighty Palaeoloxodon, one of the largest elephant-like creature towering even over the Darkperior.
Takibi, who had been fighting from a distance, turned just in time to see the massive Darkperior Puar had become. His eyes widened in awe as he stumbled back. "What... Puar?!" he shouted, unable to believe his eyes.
Without a word, the massive Puar charged forward, his tusks gleaming in the sunlight. The ground trembled beneath his feet as he moved, and with a mighty bellow, he rammed into the Darkperior, his enormous size and strength rivaling that of the Darkperior.
The Darkperior, caught off guard by the sudden attack, stumbled backward, its balance momentarily disrupted. It roared in anger, but now, it faced an opponent of equal size and power. The battlefield quaked beneath the clash of the two colossal Darkperiors, as Puar, now transformed into a mighty Palaeoloxodon, squared off against the Darkperior. Their heavy footsteps shook the ground, sending ripples through the sand with every step. The air between them was thick with tension as both massive creatures sized each other up.
Darkperior let out a guttural roar, raising its arm with the hole-like cannon in its palm glowing with a dark energy. Without warning, it fired a large boulder with terrifying speed, the rock whistling through the air as it flew straight toward Puar. The sheer force of the attack caused the ground to crack in its wake, but Puar was ready.
Puar's trunk, thick and muscular, swung upward in a wide arc, swatting the boulder aside with a powerful blow that sent it crashing into the sand, splintering into pieces. With a thunderous bellow, Puar charged forward, tusks gleaming, intent on ramming the Darkperior before it could recover.
But the Darkperior was faster than expected for something so bulky. It twisted its massive body and braced itself, driving its enormous fists into the ground. The earth beneath Puar's feet shifted as sharp rocks and jagged stones jutted upward from beneath, creating a rocky barrier between the two. Puar skidded to a halt, just before crashing into the stone wall, his ancient eyes burning with determination.
With an earth-shaking stomp, Puar shattered the rocky barrier in a single blow, sending shards flying in all directions. He moved with surprising agility for his size, his massive legs pounding the ground as he closed the gap between him and the Darkperior once again.
The Darkperior growled, firing another barrage of boulders from its arm cannons, each one whizzing toward Puar like missiles. Puar didn't flinch. He ducked low, letting the stones sail past him, then retaliated with a swift swing of his massive trunk. The blow connected with Darkperior's chest, sending it stumbling backward.
Roaring in fury, the Darkperior dug its massive feet into the ground and charged forward, its horns spinning like drills. The ground shook violently as it rushed toward Puar, aiming to impale him with its razor-sharp horns.
Puar reacted quickly. He lowered his head, meeting Darkperior's charge with his enormous tusks. The two titans collided in a devastating impact, tusks against horns, sending shockwaves through the wasteland. For a moment, they pushed against each other, locked in a fierce contest of strength.
the Darkperior's horns ground against Puar's tusks with a screeching sound, but Puar, using his massive trunk, shoved the Darkperior back. the Darkperior roared in frustration, digging its feet into the earth, but the mighty Palaeoloxodon would not be moved.
In an unexpected move, Puar lifted his front legs off the ground, bringing them down with a tremendous stomp. The ground around him cracked, sending fissures shooting toward the Darkperior, destabilizing its footing. With another forceful bellow, Puar swung his tusks once more, catching the Darkperior across the side and sending it crashing into the rocks.
Darkperior groaned as it tried to rise, its rocky armor cracked from the blow. But Puar was relentless. Seizing the opportunity, he reared back on his hind legs again and brought his weight crashing down, stomping the ground with enough force to cause a localized quake, shaking the entire area and causing the sand beneath the Darkperior to shift and collapse.
the Darkperior roared in frustration, firing another desperate barrage of boulders from its arm cannons. But this time, Puar was ready. With a deft movement, he used his massive trunk to scoop up a pile of sand, throwing it toward the Darkperior's eyes. The cloud of sand blinded the creature, and it flailed its arms wildly, trying to wipe the grit from its face.
As the Darkperior staggered, Puar, now fully in control, let out one final, triumphant bellow. He charged forward with all his might, slamming his tusks into Darkperior's exposed side. The creature was thrown off its feet, crashing into the rocks with a thunderous boom.
Laying disoriented and struggling to rise from the powerful blow Puar had dealt, Takibi seized the perfect opportunity. He leaped onto Puar's broad, muscular back, balancing effortlessly on the massive creature's furred hide. His eyes glowed with a bright intensity, energy surging through his body. Standing tall atop Puar's massive form, he opened his mouth, and a brilliant white orb of energy, tinged with pink light, began to form within it.
The air around them crackled with power as Takibi concentrated as it charged up before unleashing his *Hyper Beam* The white energy orb exploded outward, streaking across the battlefield with blinding speed. The shockwave from the blast sent sand and debris flying in all directions.
the Darkperior let out a final, earth-shattering roar of agony before its form broke apart and dissolved into shadowy wisps of energy. The Darkperior was no more, disintegrating into the void from which it came.
Takibi landed gracefully on the ground, panting from the exertion. Puar, still in his Palaeoloxodon form, let out a triumphant trumpeting sound, his massive frame towering over the battlefield before slowly turning back into his noral self.
"Good work, bro!" Takibi called up to Puar, grinning despite the sweat dripping from his brow. The battle was hard-fought, but together, they had once again emerged victorious.
Puar breathed heavily "T-Thanks ouch…it hurts so much haha im not used to hand to hand attacks like that"
The wasteland fell into an eerie silence, the echoes of the battle slowly fading as the dust settled….however…out of nowhere a massive presence began to cast an intimidating shadow over the landscape. From the distant horizon of the Break Wasteland, a loud, earth-rumbling roar echoed, signaling the arrival of the final foe.
The creature was a twisted blend of its prehistoric grandeur, its body a inky black hue, with glowing purple cracks running along its armor-like ridges and plates. The spikes atop its head, resembling a king's crown, primitive shadowy wisps of feathers and a cape-like ruff around its neck flickered like flames. Its enormous jaws, capable of crushing metal, were lined with razor-sharp, obsidian teeth, glowing faintly with the energy of darkness. The creature exuded a palpable sense of dominance, as if it ruled over the wasteland and all the creatures within it.
*Doomrex*
Doomrex stomped forward, its huge hind legs causing the ground to quake beneath its massive weight. The heavy, spiked tail swung with each step, and the two black claws on its small forelimbs twitched eagerly as if ready to rip apart anything in its path.
Puar and Takibi could feel the sheer pressure of its presence as it approached. This was no ordinary opponent it was a king of beasts. With a deafening roar, the Doomrex slammed its powerful tail into the ground, sending a shockwave of energy that cracked the earth beneath them, signaling the start of the most dangerous battle yet.
Puar let out an exasperated sigh, his frustration bubbling to the surface. "Are you kidding me? Another one? I'm seriously starting to wonder when this is going to end. We're exhausted!"
Takibi glanced at the towering Doomrex and back at Puar, gritting his teeth. "I know, but there's something I can try... I have a move called Rest that can heal me, but the catch is I'll be completely defenseless while it works."
Puar hovered in the air, thinking for a moment before nodding decisively. "Then do it! You're going to need all your strength for this. I'll buy you some time and distract the big guy. Just make sure you're back on your feet before it decides to make me its next meal!"
Takibi hesitated for a second but then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trusting his friend. "Alright, I'll leave it to you!"
As Takibi lay down to enter a deep, restorative sleep, his body began to glow with a faint aura of light blue energy, signaling the activation of Rest. Meanwhile, Puar soared higher, floating effortlessly in the air.
"Hey, big guy! Over here!" Puar zipped around in a zigzag pattern, his shapeshifted form agile in the air. The Doomrex roared angrily, swinging its massive tail in an attempt to swat the annoying little creature. Puar darted out of the way just in time, making the towering Darkperior chase after him, its glowing yellow eyes focused solely on the floating target.
Puar was fast, but he could feel the strain of fatigue starting to creep in as he continued to dodge and weave through the air. "Just... keep looking over here, buddy! Don't worry about the sleeping pup!"
The Doomrex let out an ear-shattering roar, its eyes glowing as it locked onto Puar. Not about to let its prey escape, the massive dinosaur-like Darkperior reared back and fired several large, jagged boulders from its mouth like projectiles. The rocks whizzed through the air, aiming directly for Puar, who darted to the side in a desperate attempt to avoid being smashed.
"Whoa!" Puar yelped as the first rock narrowly missed him, the force of it whooshing past his fur. "This thing is serious!"
As the boulders continued to come, Puar expertly twisted and turned, dodging each one by inches. His heart raced in his chest as he barely avoided another hit. But Doomrex wasn't done yet. With a growl of frustration, the opened its jaws wide and shot out a massive a beam of swirling blue energy shaped like a roaring dragon, streaking up toward Puar's position in the sky.
"Oh, come on!" Puar cried as he pushed himself to his limits, darting higher and spinning to avoid the oncoming blast. The pulse missed him by a hair, but the shockwave sent him tumbling through the air for a moment, forcing him to regain his balance quickly.
Below, Doomrex stomped its powerful feet, causing the ground to tremble violently. It then slammed its tail into the earth with immense force, summoning a Sandstorm. Dust and sand whipped into the sky, swirling violently around Puar and limiting his vision. The gusts of wind made it harder for him to stay aloft, forcing him to squint through the chaotic storm.
"This is bad," Puar muttered, struggling against the ferocious wind. The sand pelted his body, and the debris in the air made it difficult to see or move smoothly. Doomrex, on the other hand, seemed perfectly at home in the storm, stalking Puar from below, its glowing eyes still fixated on its prey.
Suddenly, Doomrex lunged upward, making Jagged pillars of stone erupted from the ground in a sharp arc, aiming to strike Puar from below. He flitted desperately, narrowly avoiding the spikes of rock as they shot up from beneath him.
Breathless and exhausted from evading the constant attacks. He could only hope Takibi would wake up soon, or they would be in serious trouble. As Puar dodged frantically, barely keeping ahead of Doomrex's relentless onslaught, he noticed a faint stirring in the corner of his eye. Takibi was finally waking up, his body twitching as he began to recover from his Rest ability. Seeing his friend stirring gave Puar a surge of hope. He had been conserving his magic energy for as long as possible, but now he just needed one opening, one chance to distract Doomrex long enough for Takibi to strike.
He summoned just enough magical energy to cast Lumos. A bright, moderately sized spark of dazzling light erupted from his paw, shining brightly in front of the charging Doomrex.
The Doomrex roared in frustration, skidding to a halt as the light hit its eyes. It shook its massive head, trying to clear its vision, but the bright spark had left it momentarily blinded and confused. The Doomrex stumbled forward, smashing its head into a nearby rock as it thrashed wildly in its disoriented state.
"Now's my chance!" Puar thought as he swerved out of the storm's reach and shot back toward Takibi. He landed beside his friend, panting heavily but relieved to see Takibi's eyes fully open and alert.
Takibi stretched with a yawn, feeling refreshed and energized. "Man, I feel great! We can definitely finish this thing off," he said confidently, cracking his neck and preparing to charge back into battle.
But Puar, still catching his breath, shook his head. "I probably won't last much longer… I'm too tired after all these fights…using my magic constantly…" He struggled to stand, his legs wobbling slightly. "But... I have enough left to give you a boost" His voice was determined, despite the fatigue.
Takibi frowned, a little concerned. "Puar, are you sure?"
Without answering directly, Puar raised his paws and focused, casting a series of spells.
"Ingenium"
A warm, golden glow enveloped Takibi, his muscles rippling as his physical strength surged dramatically. He flexed his claws, feeling an incredible boost to his power.
"Reflexus"
Blue light glimmered as Takibi's movements became sharper, faster. His body felt lighter, his reflexes heightened. He could sense every motion more precisely and instinctively.
"Tuere"
A shimmering barrier of translucent energy formed around Takibi, reinforcing his physical defense.
"Confixus"
Takibi's vision sharpened with pinpoint accuracy.
"Obstetor Armatura"
Finally, with a deep breath, Puar cast Obstetor Armatura, summoning the spectral armor once more. The radiant suit of weightless armor formed around Takibi, fortifying his already enhanced defenses.
The effort took everything Puar had left. His legs buckled, and with a soft groan, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious from the strain.
"Whoa…" Takibi glanced down at Puar, a surge of protective instinct rushing through him while he felt himself so much stronger "Don't worry, bro... I'll end this now."
He turned toward the Doomrex, who was shaking off the effects of Lumos, preparing for another assault. Takibi, now stronger, faster, and more fortified than ever, narrowed his eyes and got ready to strike.
The final battle begins as Doomrex roars, shaking the very ground beneath its feet. Its eyes glint with malice, and it charges toward Takibi with terrifying speed, claws tearing into the earth.
Takibi, now fortified by Puar's magic, feels the surge of strength coursing through his body. His senses are heightened, and his muscles feel stronger than ever. He doesn't hesitate as Doomrex closes in, using *Agility* to vanish from its path, dodging the initial rush. The empowered speed allows him to reappear behind the massive dinosaur in a flash.
Doomrex, enraged, swings its tail with incredible force, using it like a club to swipe at Takibi. But Takibi is quick, his body a blur as he dodges, evading with the increased reflexes granted by Reflexus plus his own. With a fierce growl, Takibi opens his mouth, unleashing a powerful *Flamethrower* at close range, the intense flames bathing Doomrex's armored hide. However, Doomrex's rugged, plated skin absorbs the brunt of the attack.
Doomrex snarls, responding with a powerful counterattack. It slams its massive tail into the ground, summoning a barrage of boulders from the earth. The rocks shoot toward Takibi with violent force. But Takibi is already prepared, using Iron Head, his forehead gleams with a metallic sheen as he charges headfirst into one of the boulders, shattering it to pieces. The ground quakes from the impact, using *Wild Charge* to zip through the remaining debris, sparks of electricity dancing around his body as he charges Doomrex head-on.
Doomrex roars in pain as the electricity surges through its body, but it retaliates by opening its mighty jaws to bite down on Takibi. However, thanks to his natural speed and reflexes who were enhanced further, the bite only glances off his magically-enhanced body.
Taking advantage of the moment, Takibi leaps back and begins charging up a devastating attack. His body ignites with a fierce, fiery aura as he prepares *Flare Blitz* Doomrex, sensing the incoming attack, roars in defiance, stomping the ground to launch another volley of rocks at Takibi.
But it's too late. With Puar's spells still empowering him, Takibi dashes forward, flames trailing behind him as he accelerates to full speed. Doomrex swings its tail desperately, trying to swat him away, but Takibi's enhanced reflexes allow him to dodge with ease.
With a mighty roar, Takibi slams into Doomrex's side with all his strength. The impact is explosive, the fiery collision sending waves of heat and light in all directions. Doomrex though is not knocked back, its heavy body could tank it.
Takibi lands on the ground, his fiery aura fading slightly, but the battle is not over. Doomrex, now even more enraged, rises back to its feet, eyes burning with fury. It opens its mouth wide, preparing a deadly energy blast of its own.
Takibi has no intention of giving it the chance to fire. He quickly prepares his own finishing move, his body glowing with a fierce light as he charges up *Hyper Beam* in response.
The ground trembles beneath them. With Hyper Beam charged and ready, Takibi meets Doomrex's own building energy. The two colossal beams collide in midair, the impact creating a shockwave so powerful that it sends dust, rocks, and debris flying in all directions. The energy surge between the two beams warps the air itself, sparks of electricity and fire crackling across the battlefield.
Suddenly, Takibi feels his Hyper Beam falter slightly, the force from Doomrex's own blast overpowering him. Doomrex's sheer size and raw strength make it seem nearly impossible to overpower. But Takibi isn't backing down. With a quick step to the side, he cuts off his Hyper Beam and lets the energy dissipate, dodging Doomrex's devastating attack just in time as the massive beam scorches the battlefield behind him.
Takibi's eyes narrow. If brute force won't cut it, then strategy will. With a flash of insight, he digs his paws into the ground and activates Dig, burrowing deep beneath the earth. Doomrex snarls, confused, its eyes darting around the battlefield, searching for its opponent.
Without warning, Takibi bursts from the ground directly beneath Doomrex, slamming into its underbelly with all the force he can muster. The impact staggers the enormous dinosaur, causing it to roar in shock. But Takibi doesn't stop there, he quickly follows up with *Crunch* his teeth glowing white as he bites down on Doomrex's vulnerable leg, causing the Darkperior to bellow in pain.
But Doomrex is far from done. In its fury, it stomps the ground, sending a shockwave of rocks and debris in all directions, forcing Takibi to leap back. Doomrex roars as he makes massive, jagged rocks to erupt from the earth in a circle around it, shooting toward Takibi with deadly precision.
But Takibi is ready. Using *Agility* he dashes between the sharp stones, dodging with lightning-fast reflexes. Each stone barely misses him, grazing his fur as he zips left and right, narrowly escaping the deadly attack.
Doomrex snarls, growing more enraged with every miss. Its eyes burn red as it uses its powerful legs to leap into the air, coming down with terrifying force for a Head Smash. The ground shakes as it crashes down, aiming to crush Takibi beneath its massive weight.
Takibi leaps out of the way, but Doomrex's attack leaves a crater in the ground, sending shockwaves through the earth. The impact throws Takibi off balance, but he quickly regains his footing. His eyes narrow. He knows he has to up the ante.
With a sharp howl, Takibi uses *Sunny Day* strengthening his fire-type moves before using *Heat Wave* opening his mouth to send out a massive wall of searing flames. The scorching heat engulfs Doomrex, forcing the mighty Darkperior to stagger back. With the sunlight still blazing, he calls upon *Overheat* A blazing sphere of yellow and red fire forms in front of his mouth, growing larger and hotter before unleashing it!
Doomrex charges straight through the flames, its body singed but still moving with incredible power. It slams its tail into Takibi, sending him tumbling across the battlefield. Takibi groans, feeling the weight of the battle. He's giving it everything he has, but Doomrex just won't go down.
But there's no backing down now. Takibi grits his teeth and rises to his feet, eyes burning with determination. With Puar unconscious and the battle nearing its climax, he knows it's all up to him to break through Doomrex's overwhelming power.
Takibi's breath grows ragged, his body shaking with exhaustion as he relentlessly slams into Doomrex with *Iron Tail* and *Iron Head* again and again. His tail gleams like polished steel as it connects with Doomrex's armored hide. Sparks fly as Takibi's hardened body meets the massive dinosaur's unyielding defenses.
But Doomrex, enraged by Takibi's persistence, suddenly swings its massive tail with terrifying force. The blow catches Takibi off guard, smashing into him with enough power to shatter the spectral armor Puar had cast on him. Takibi is thrown back, skidding across the rocky ground, his body aching and bruised from the impact.
He growls, staggering to his feet as the pain surges through his body. His armor is gone, his body battered, but something inside him ignites. It's not just the fight, it's the need to protect Puar, to stand up in the face of this overwhelming force, to survive, to prove himself, his heart pounds, and his flames burn hotter than ever.
Doomrex lets out a deafening roar, charging at Takibi with reckless abandon. The dinosaur's jaws snap open, ready to crush him with a final blow. But Takibi's eyes narrow. He can feel the pain coursing through his body, fueling something deep within him. His breath comes in quick bursts, and his fur begins to glow a faint orange, his temperature rising. His body feels like it's about to burst with energy.
"You like roaring? Then allow ME!"
And then, with a primal roar of his own, Takibi charges forward, using *Reversal* The damage he's taken becomes his fuel, his energy swelling to its peak. His body glows with a fierce orange aura, and he slams into Doomrex with all the force he has left. The impact shakes the ground, sending cracks across the battlefield. Doomrex stumbles back, bellowing in pain and shock.
Takibi doesn't stop. The surge of heat and power inside him keeps building, his flames intensifying with every breath. He's unsure if it's the life-or-death struggle, the adrenaline of the battle, or the desperate need to protect his downed friend, perhaps it's all of them but his fire burns brighter than ever before.
Doomrex roars in defiance, refusing to back down. It rears up on its hind legs, ready to bring its full weight down on Takibi. The final clash is about to unfold.
Takibi's entire body radiates heat, flames licking at his fur as his eyes glow with intensity. Something inside him shifts. This isn't just about surviving anymore this is about breaking his limits. Takibi, beaten and bruised, stands firm despite the overwhelming odds. His fur is scorched, his breath ragged, but something deeper stirs within him
As Doomrex looms over him, ready to strike, Takibi throws his head back and ROARS! The sound rips through the battlefield, echoing across the wasteland. It's not just a cry of pain or anger, it's a declaration of defiance. He refuses to lose. He refuses to die and he would take his crown.
His flames flare out wildly, engulfing his body. The heat radiates from him like the core of a blazing inferno, so intense that even Doomrex halts for a moment, hesitating at the sight. The primal pride of his Fire-type nature surges forward, burning away his exhaustion and doubt. His entire body begins to glow, first in a fiery orange, then transitioning to a brilliant, blinding white.
The ground trembles beneath Takibi's paws, cracks forming as the sheer energy surrounding him increases. His body elongates, growing larger, more powerful. His flames swirl around him like a vortex, reshaping his form. His fur thickens, his muscles bulge, and his stance becomes even more fierce and imposing.
The intense glow subsides, revealing Takibi's new form: A fully evolved Arcanine. His majestic fur, his body now exudes an aura of untamed power. His eyes burn with fiery determination as he stares down Doomrex, no longer as the small Growlithe who struggled to stand his ground, but as a powerful, unstoppable force.
His body is fully charged with the new power coursing through his veins, his fire more intense and controlled than ever before. Doomrex snarls, clearly sensing the shift in power. But Takibi, now Arcanine, stands firm, ready to show his enemy the full strength of his evolved form.
"Don't run away now"
With a much deeper voice he springs into action. His paws dig into the ground as he propels himself high into the air, the sheer force of his jump sending cracks through the earth beneath him. As he ascends, his body begins to glow with a vibrant, spiraling purple aura, streaked with fierce yellow energy.
The spiraling energy intensifies, wrapping around Takibi's massive form like a violent storm. His eyes are locked onto Doomrex, and in that brief moment, time seems to slow as the air around him hums with raw power. The sky itself almost seems to crackle in anticipation of the impending impact.
Then, with a furious burst of speed, Takibi rockets downward, the spiraling aura leaving trails of energy in his wake. He's a blazing comet of force, a living weapon aimed directly at Doomrex. The massive dinosaur-like roars and braces itself for the hit, but the sheer momentum behind Takibi is too much.
*BOOOOOOOOM!*
Takibi slams into Doomrex with the full force of his *Giga Impact* The collision is deafening, the ground beneath them shattering into a crater as the immense force explodes outward in a shockwave. Doomrex is knocked back, its feet digging deep furrows into the ground as it struggles to withstand the hit.
For a moment, both combatants are still. Doomrex lets out a low growl, clearly shaken but far from defeated. But Takibi, panting heavily from the exertion of such a massive attack, stands tall, the glow of the purple aura fading from his body. Though Giga Impact took a toll on him, the determined fire in his eyes burns brighter than ever.
"Heh, you sure are different from the rest" Takibi said with a smirk.
Takibi, though weary from the intensity of his previous attack, feels a new surge of strength coursing through him. He glances at the unconscious Puar, still lying amidst the rubble, and something ignites within him. This is it. His friend is counting on him, and he can't afford to fail now.
Doomrex's massive claws come crashing down, but Takibi, like a comet of pure fire, charges straight into the heart of the Doomrex attack. The two forces clash in a fiery explosion, but Takibi's momentum doesn't stop. He powers through Doomrex's defenses, slamming into them with the full force of his fiery might.
The ground beneath them cracks again, molten heat pouring from the collision. Doomrex stumbles, its body scorched by the overwhelming fire. But before it can recover, Takibi's next move is already in motion.
With a fierce growl, Takibi's pupils glow bright orange as five massive blasts of fire shoot outward in the shape of a 大 one more. The flames roar through the air, all converging on Doomrex in a brilliant blaze of light and heat.
The attack hits its mark with pinpoint accuracy, the force of the Fire Blast engulfing Doomrex completely, this attack much more powerful than before as he roars in agony, its massive frame thrashing as the flames consume it, until finally, the once-indomitable beastcollapses, unable to withstand the relentless assault. Its form flickers and shudders before disintegrating into dark mist, vanquished at last.
Takibi stands tall amidst the wreckage, his flames slowly dying down. He takes a deep breath, his body trembling with exhaustion but his heart filled with pride. The battle is over. He walks over to Puar, nudging his unconscious friend gently with his nose.
"We…did it."
Though the battlefield is silent, the weight of their victory is palpable. The tyrant is gone, and the two companions, though battered and bruised, have emerged victorious
Takibi's legs finally give way as the exhaustion catches up with him. His flames flicker weakly, and he takes one last deep breath before collapsing beside Puar. Suddenly, the air ripples with a faint hum. A figure materializes amidst the wreckage, stepping out from thin air. It's Melvin, his lean frame draped in his colorful attire.
He steps lightly over the cracked earth, taking in the sight of molten sand now hardened into shimmering glass. The smooth, reflective surfaces stretch across the battlefield in irregular patches, where Takibi's fire attacks had scorched the land with such intensity that the sand had transformed.
A soft chuckle escapes Melvin's lips. "Now that it's hot I am right?"
His gaze sweeps over the unconscious forms of Takibi and Puar. The two lay side by side, their bodies battered, but their expressions calm, peaceful in the aftermath of their victory.
"Such potential...and they've only just begun," Melvin muses, his smile widening as he kneels down beside them. "Let's go now"
With a slow, deliberate motion, he stands and raises his an instant, the air crackles with energy, and a swirling portal forms beside him.
*Later…*

Puar stirred faintly, a soft groan escaping his lips as he slowly opened his eyes. His body did not ache anymore but his mind was foggy from before. It took him a few moments to realize he was lying in a bed, wrapped snugly in soft blankets.
Blinking, he glanced around, confusion setting in. This wasn't the battlefield. The last thing he remembered was the feeling of the scorching sand under his paws and Takibi by his side. His heart skipped a beat. Quickly sitting up, but the sudden motion sent a wave of dizziness crashing over him. Puar let out a small yelp and steadied himself, gripping the edge of the bed until his vision stopped spinning.
As the haze cleared, Puar's ears twitched at the sound of something sizzling nearby. Slowly, he turned his head toward the source and spotted a familiar figure in the next room.
Yamcha! His back turned, busy at a small stove. The air was filled with the savory aroma of something cooking.
Puar's gaze drifted toward another figure curled up on a large cushion beside the fireplace. Takibi, resting peacefully, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. He looked uninjured. Puar let out a small sigh of relief at the sight.
Carefully, Puar slipped out of the bed. He padded quietly across the floor, trying not to make too much noise. His fur was still a little matted from the battle, but at least he was no longer in pain. As he approached, he could see Takibi's side rising and falling, his body finally at peace after all that fighting.
"Hey, buddy," Puar whispered softly, crouching down beside Takibi, feeling the warmth of his friend's body radiate toward him. "You did great out there…"
Takibi shifted slightly in his sleep but didn't wake. His tail twitched, and Puar couldn't help but smile. Whatever dream he was having seemed peaceful enough.
"You've been out for a while, you know," Yamcha's voice called out from the kitchen, his tone light but with a hint of amusement. Puar looked up, catching Yamcha's grin as he flipped something on the stove. "I was starting to think you'd sleep for a whole week."
Puar chuckled weakly. "It… sure feels like I did," He admitted, rubbing his head. "Man that was so hard"
"Sure looks like it, Melvin brought you two here and healed you up! But you guys were still out cold so maybe a bit of sleep was all you needed"
The smell of the cooking food drifted over, and Puar's stomach growled loudly. He blinked, his face heating up with embarrassment as Yamcha burst out laughing.
"Sounds like you're hungry. Well, don't worry, I've got something cooking up for both of you," Yamcha said with a grin, waving a spatula. "You're gonna need it after all that."
Just as Puar sat down and was about to take a bite, the temperature in the room seemed to shift. There was a faint, almost imperceptible disturbance in the air. The atmosphere changed, a strange ripple of energy making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Puar's ears perked up instantly, his instincts kicking in.
Before either of them could react, a voice, smooth and unsettlingly calm, echoed from the shadows of the room.
Melvin then suddenly appeared in the room, as if stepping through the very air itself.
"Gah! Melvin!" Yamcha exclaimed, startled, his hand instinctively moving toward the sword on his belt, though he didn't draw it. "God damn it, you made it more dramatic on purpose"
Puar's fur bristled as he quickly composed himself, his heart still racing. "You scared the whiskers off of me!"
The disturbance, however, wasn't lost on Takibi, who suddenly stirred from his slumber. His eyes flicked open, glowing faintly as he slowly pushed himself up, letting out a low growl.
"Oh, don't get too worked up now," Melvin said with a casual wave of his hand, seemingly unfazed by Takibi's growl. "I didn't mean to interrupt your little feast. Just thought I'd check in now that you're all awake."
Takibi's growl softened, his sharp eyes focusing on Melvin, who gave a calm, slightly amused smile "You interrupted my sleep"
"You've slept enough," Melvin continued, his voice carrying an air of amusement. "Now that you're all up and about, I believe it's time I gave you the reward I promised for such a… splendid performance earlier. Come now" He gestured toward the door, "let's step outside for a bit, shall we?
With a slight nod, Yamcha stood, and Puar followed suit with Takibi. Melvin was already making his way to the door.
*Outside*
Melvin stood ahead of them, his back turned as he gazed up at the moonlit sky. "I must say, I was quite impressed with how you handled yourselves. Not many could've survived what you went through."
Puar shifted on his paws. "So… what exactly is this reward?"
Melvin's eyes sparkled with mischief, his hand gesturing toward Puar's paw "Your reward," Isn't gonna be just another spell that's for sure" He pointed to Puar's right paw.
Puar blinked, his ears twitching in confusion as he lifted his paw and examined it. At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but then a slow warmth began to spread across the back of his paw. The fur rippled slightly as if stirred by an invisible wind, and a dark shape started to emerge against the blue fur. It was faint at first, but as Puar stared, the mark grew clearer, sharper.
It was a spiral intricate black symbol that seemed to shimmer with life. The swirling lines formed a perfect circle, resembling an unfurling fern leaf.
"W-What is this?" Puar stammered, his voice filled with awe. He ran his other paw over the mark, expecting to feel some difference in texture, but it was smooth as if the symbol had always been a part of him, like a birthmark he had never noticed until now.
Melvin's smile widened, though his eyes held a knowing gleam. "This mark is more than just a decoration.
Yamcha scratched his head, glancing between Puar's paw and Melvin. "Uh... Melvin, what exactly is that symbol?" His tone was a mix of confusion and curiosity.
Melvin smiled and stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with mystery. "Ah, that, my friend, is a Koru, It's a symbol from a certain ancient culture, one that represents creation, spiritual enlightenment, and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe." He gestured toward the swirling symbol on Puar's paw, his voice almost reverent. "It's based on the shape of an unfurling fern leaf. The circular form represents the eternal cycle of life, while the starting point of the spiral symbolizes the source of all creation."
Puar stared at the mark for a moment longer, feeling the warmth it radiated, that strange sensation humming beneath his skin. "What...what do I do with it?"
Melvin's smile widened. "Simple. Follow the feeling you're experiencing. Don't resist it. Let it guide you." His tone was calm, encouraging.
Hesitant but determined, Puar closed his eyes and focused on the warmth. The sensation grew stronger, spreading through his entire body like a gentle current. His breathing slowed, and the world around him seemed to fade as the pulse of the Koru mark became all he could feel.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and when Puar opened his eyes, his paws were no longer empty. He was holding an old, intricately designed book. Its cover was dark and weathered, but the title shimmered with silver letters: Codex of Golemania.
Puar gasped softly. "What… what is this?"
Melvin's grin deepened, his eyes alight with satisfaction. "That, my friend, is the key to your future. The Codex of Golemania is a book filled with knowledge of golems, their creation, and their power. It will guide you on the next stage of your journey"
Puar stared at the book in his paws, eyes wide with wonder. "Does this mean I can summon golems now?" He asked, sort of knowing what a Golem was.
Melvin chuckled, shaking his head. "Summon? Well, yes...and no. You see, you can't just call them out of thin air. You'll have to make them first, following the proper steps. Every golem needs a form, materials, and a touch of magic to come to life." He gave a playful wink. "Good luck with looking up the instructions in that codex. It's all in there."
Takibi, who had been quietly observing the exchange, tilted his head and stepped forward. "Melvin, before you give us our reward, I have a question."
Melvin turned toward the Growlithe, his curiosity piqued. "Go ahead, Takibi."
Takibi's voice was steady but thoughtful. "Back in the wasteland, during the fight… I transformed. I remember becoming something bigger, stronger. But now, I'm small again." He glanced at his paws and then back to Melvin. "What happened? Why am I back to this size?"
Melvin nodded as if expecting the question. "Ah, I see. What you went through back there was an evolution, Takibi. You evolved into an Arcanine, something Pokémon like you experience once you've gained enough experience and strength. That was your moment. It was the culmination of everything you've been through."
Takibi's eyes widened. "So I did evolve… but why am I back to my original size?"
Melvin smirked and crossed his arms. "Well, I thought it over. Sure, being an Arcanine has its perks. larger size, more power, but I figured, why limit you? Instead of being stuck in one form forever, wouldn't it be better if you could shift between your original Growlithe form and your evolved Arcanine state? A bit more versatile, don't you think?"
Takibi blinked, processing the idea. "You mean… I can change back and forth? Anytime I want?"
"Exactly," Melvin said with a grin. "Why be stuck as one thing when you can have the best of both worlds?"
Yamcha let out a low whistle. "So you're telling me you just gave him a freebie, huh? That's pretty generous of you."
Melvin chuckled. "Oh, I wouldn't call it a freebie. I just liked the idea better this way." He gave a casual shrug. "Besides, it's more fun, isn't it?"
With a snap of his fingers, Melvin conjured a strange, exotic-looking fruit that floated in mid-air before gently landing in front of Takibi. The fruit had swirling patterns all over it, like a mysterious, fiery vortex trapped in its flesh. Its appearance was intriguing, but there was something about it that also seemed... off.
"This," Melvin said, gesturing towards the fruit, "is a special gift just for you, Takibi. It's called the Netsu Netsu no Mi. The Heat Fruit. Once you eat it, you'll gain a new power, one that I think is going to fit you very well."
Takibi sniffed the air around the fruit, curiosity and slight hesitation evident in his eyes. "A new power?" he asked, his tail twitching. "What kind of power?"
"The ability to generate and control intense heat," Melvin explained, his tone light but serious. "You'll be able to superheat objects, your surroundings, and even your own body. It'll make your flames even stronger and give you a whole new set of abilities in battle."
Takibi's eyes sparkled at the thought, but he hesitated for a moment. "Is there a catch?"
Melvin chuckled. "Smart question. Normally, a fruit like this would give you a major weakness: you wouldn't be able to swim, and water would become your worst enemy." He waved his hand dismissively. "But don't worry, I took care of that. No weaknesses for you. You'll keep all your current abilities, and this is just a bonus."
Takibi stared at the fruit, then looked up at Melvin. "So... no downsides?"
"Well..." Melvin grinned mischievously. "There is one thing I couldn't fix." He leaned in closer and tapped the fruit with a finger. "It still tastes really bad. I mean, horrible. You'll want to eat it fast. Trust me."
Takibi wrinkled his nose. "That bad, huh?"
Yamcha snickered from the sidelines. "Come now it's just a bad-tasting fruit. How bad can it be?
Takibi looked at him before refocusing on the fruit. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and, with a quick chomp, bit into the fruit. His eyes immediately widened in shock as the overwhelming, bitter taste hit his tongue. "Ugh! This... is... awful!"
Melvin laughed, watching Takibi struggle to finish the fruit. "Told you! But once it's down, you'll thank me."
Takibi swallowed the last bite, his face still scrunched in disgust. "That was... the worst thing I've ever tasted" He muttered.
Melvin gave him a thumbs up. "But now, you've got a whole new world of power. Let's see how well it suits you."
Melvin clapped his hands together, a wide, satisfied smile on his face as he addressed Puar, Takibi, and Yamcha. "Well, well, well, it's been a real pleasure having all these fun and entertaining challenges with you all. You've grown stronger in your own ways, found new things about yourselves, and taken steps forward on your individual journeys."
Puar's ears perked up, still holding the Codex of Golemania tightly, while Takibi stood tall, a faint heat radiating from his body after the effects of the fruit had settled in. Yamcha crossed his arms, nodding in agreement, feeling stronger and more confident from the trials they had faced together.
Melvin continued, his tone a little more serious but still warm. "From now on, it's all about your journey and where you want to go, what you want to achieve. I won't be hanging around all the time, but don't think I'm gone for good. I'll check in on you from time to time. Maybe even give you a nudge if you need it."
Takibi wagged his tail, still adjusting to his new powers. "I guess this is goodbye then, huh?"
"Not quite a goodbye," Melvin corrected with a wink. "Just a 'see you later.' You're all capable of so much, and I have no doubt you'll keep getting stronger, even without me popping up with random challenges."
Yamcha grinned, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, we couldn't have done it without you, Melvin. Thanks for everything. You really gave us a push"
Puar nodded eagerly. "Yeah! Thanks, Melvin! We'll make sure to keep going and do our best!"
Melvin gave them a final nod "That's the spirit. Best of luck in everything you do, and remember you've got what it takes. Believe in yourselves, and you'll be unstoppable."
With a snap of his fingers, Melvin's figure began to shimmer, his form growing faint, like a mirage about to disappear into the ether. "Until next time, my friends," he said, his voice echoing faintly. "Keep chasing those dreams."
And with that, Melvin vanished, leaving Puar, Takibi, and Yamcha standing in the clearing, a sense of calm and determination settling over them as they realized their journey was only just beginning.
A\N: Here is the end of rewards and challenges for Puar, Takibi and Yamcha, my friends. Thank you to all those who sended me reviews that were constructive or to help with the challenges. It was a true journey that's for sure. Here are a few words I want to say.
1- I've always thought Arcanine was one of the coolest classic Fire-type Pokémon. I remember making a poll about giving both Puar and Takibi anthro forms. However, after more thought, I realized that a humanoid form would actually be a disadvantage for Takibi. Since he was born as a quadrupedal, learning to walk and fight on two legs would be difficult. Instead, giving him the ability to shift between Growlithe and Arcanine forms seems much more fitting. It would not only make battles more interesting but also give him the advantage of changing his size and power unexpectedly. Not to mention that suddenly having your body change permanently into a new form out of the blue is not something everyone wants.
2- Puar Codex of Golemania is basically a book that will allow him to create Golems (or Constructs if you prefer) he can use any type of substance or material but it needs to be done meticulously such as: Design, materials and core! The name is based on a minecraft mod called Golemania, and I thought it was really cool. Though there is a limit to how many can be made, if you're more curious send me a PM.
3- Takibi reward was basically the Netsu Netsu no Mi (Original owner: Oven from Big mom crew) because what better candidate for a fruit that controls HEAT then a FIRE TYPE pokemon? Though I took the weakness of sinking in salt water cause we all like water, though water attacks can still harm Takibi, but there is a difference between being hit with a Hydro Pump and taking a dive in the sea. I'm sure we are gonna see some really cool stuff from that.
4- LAST BUT NOT LEAST! This story is not over, sorry if it sounds like an ending. But I am here mostly to ask, do you guys prefer I make another fanfic that focuses on what Yamcha, Puar and Takibi are doing after this? Like a sequel, since Trials of a wolf was more of a story that focused on making Yamcha strong with Melvins challenges and then involving Puar and Takibi. OR! Do you guys prefer I just keep posting chapters here anyway ?
