Pokemon The Wandering Scientist - Chapter 2 Chapter 2

At the Celadon pokemon centre training grounds-

William is planning out a training schedule for Gardevoir.

In the world of pokemon, a strange phenomenon that takes place is that each pokemon’s method of utilising energy is dependent on its own interpretation. For example, a pokemon that existed in the medieval ages may believe in magic, and thus, they have their own system of learning, skill creation and also their own effect created by skills.

To take an example, a Lucario at that time may believe Aura is something that all living organisms generate, and thus interpret it as a life energy that only the living can give off. But a Lucario that studied biology may instead interpret it as Infrared light given off by living beings.

Then, they would start to deviate into their respective paths. For example, the Lucario with life force may create skills with aura that can effect only life force, and it would sense only life force given off by living organisms.

While the Lucario who learned biology may be able to see different strengths of light depending on infrared light given off, or even just be able to sense infrared, meaning it could even sense items that are dead as long as it is not at absolute zero.

Those kinds of differences are what makes each pokemon special from each other.

However, most trainers and pokemons don’t notice this. Since the usual trend is just to train, and train, until they become more efficient at using that single move, or to use them in a creative way.

What they failed to realise is that every pokemon move is like a programme, each skill could be tweaked here and there to change its nature, either by skill damage, skill conversion rate, energy loss rate etc etc.

And when a pokemon fully masters the conversion, and adds in their own world interpretation, that’s when a legendary is born. An example here is Dialga, who managed to recognise that time is in fact tangible, and used it to its own advantage, allowing itself to move through time and use time as a weapon. This is also why Dialga and Palkia keeps fighting together yet fight against each other, it’s because time and space is tangible. In fact, it’s even known as time-space. This causes their abilities to effect each other more often then required, multiplied when they have to, yet reduced when they don’t cooperate.

In this perspective, William’s Gardevoir has an impeccable start. As a undergraduate that is already looking at the front edge of physics development, William has access to the most recent information on that subject. He also has a decent friend circle amongst the top research facilities, which also gives access to other researches such as chemistry and biology. Gardevoir, being William’s assistant, always follows William around and helps with projects. Which means she would probably have learnt the “proper” way of thinking as a scientist as influenced by William. Thus, she would have the mindset to find and search for problems, and the abilities and methods to successfully do so, especially when it comes to the fundamentals of a problem.

“Firstly, I’d say that you need to increase your energy pool. For our current state, we could summarise that you have a small energy pool.”

“You even use letters instead of telepathy to save energy, So my first order would be to use telepathy instead of letters to communicate.”

(Understood.) Gardevoir immediately responded.

“Anyways, secondly, we should adapt to our advantages.” William said as he pointed out two fingers.

(Advantages?) a white question mark appeared above Gardevoir’s head.

“Yes, the biophysics department has already confirmed the existence of energy within the world didn’t they? I remember it was mentioned at the scientific journal P.K.S volume 248.” William said as he poked the question mark, which shattered as he did so.

(I believe so, we saved the file in the laptop didn’t we?)

“We did, and you can stop that.” William referred to the 3 question marks above Gardevoir’s head. Which popped the instant William requested.

After that, he grabbed the laptop out of his backpack and sat right on the grass beside the training grounds and started using the laptop.

“Yes, the article states that they’ve found evidence of such a energy field that exists almost everywhere. Their research was first on where did the pokemon get all that mass from when they evolve. Although they couldn’t solve the problem quite yet, they realised that the bright white light they give off during evolution is due to the particles of the pokemon being excited by the energy field and their act of lowering energy level through radiation emissions.”

(Was there any other evidence to back this up?)

“Yes, apparently they tried to evolve something in a lab controlled environment and after that, some pokemon had weaker skill strength than they should in that area for a brief period of time.”

“They also specified that some skills received a larger interference, namely skills that have delay effects. Such as future sight and wish.”

(So what happened probably is that the energy field there is disrupted and that certain skills can’t be used?)

“That seems like the case, but haven’t you noticed a problem?” A smile slowly emerged on William’s face.

(A problem…) Gardevoir looked towards the sky. She then suddenly stared at William. (The skills are all skills that have delay, yet have better power than their non delay counterparts. This spectates the possibility that those skills involve something like pivoting the energy field into the original skill initiation energy. This is further backed by the fact that the disruption of the energy field can effect these skills the most!)

“Bingo!” William snapped his fingers, with a wide smile on his face.

“That’s exactly what I suspected! And my though was that if we manage to figure out how to tweak the ratio of the pivoting, we can save a lot of energy while dishing out the same effects!”

After realising what William wanted fo express, Gardevoir felt as if the world around her changed a little. A field of energy that is tangible seemed to appear out of nowhere, which made her feel like she could just absorb some energy in the field to strengthen her attacks. This was the exact same feeling of change when they first discovered that typing was a mere difference in energy wavelengths, which allowed Gardevoir to exclude herself from typing limitations.

(We never thought in this direction when we first saw the article.)

“I know right? We never cared about those topics until we actually have to adventure.”

(Then let’s give it a trial?)

“Of course! And it would serve as a practise and training for you as well.”

William looked at the empty training ground and ordered, “we would start off with shadow ball and future sight, remember, don’t just use the skill, throughly rethink of how much energy you invested in it and what was the result, and also how you used the energy and how you sent it out.”

And thus, the two started working on their new topic.
