System In Pokemon World! - Chapter 16

We all began training together. I trained with Beedrill by trying to deal with the air current too but I was blown away several times. Lena smiled seeing this happy that she actually brought the giant fan since she got to witness this.

Anyway, we continued to train until 3 where we took a break by taking out a bunch of poke cubes and snacks that I had for myself. I didn’t give an option as I forced her to join us in our break. She tried refusing but dragging her forcefully I sat her down and made it impossible for her to escape by saying “You won’t leave right? Unless you don’t like us then you can leave.”

Beedrill, Butterfree and Pidgey looked at her causing her to sigh and then try to smile saying “Let’s all eat together.” This caused my pokemon to nod and return to eating. Lena glared at me a little while I held a smug grin on my face.

My pokemon finished their food and began messing around with us. Lena was not spared by Butterfree who flopped tiredly on her head falling asleep. I laughed and laid down letting Beedrill lay its head on my side and fall asleep. Pidgey flew over and fell asleep on my c.h.e.s.t. Lena silently complained “What are your pokemon doing? Shouldn’t they be training?”

I answered “They are. They trained hard for several hours so they can sleep for one hour.” She continued to complain for a while but soon fell asleep too causing me to smile. These girls were kind of strange considering that they were so random.

The first one just said goodbye to me while the second one flirted with me then left me alone. Now this one stuck to me but was uptight. I began having a headache just thinking about them. Don’t they all live in the same circ.u.mstances? Why are they so different? I shook my head deciding not to think about it anymore.

Instead I let time pass and finally the first training day ended. I finally left the Pokemon Training Field to the Pokemon Arena. Arriving inside I began looking how the match making works. It was quite easy to find out. You enter your name and your pokemon into a machine and people can challenge you or you them.

There is also a private match option which I chose. Having done that the matching quickly began and I was quickly chosen. I was surprised as I looked at the trainer. It was a guy with a Rattata, Spearow and Primeape.

I smiled as I walked towards the room and got ready to battle. Entering the guy said “Let us set some rules. No swapping until opponent pokemon has been defeated. Trainer who no longer have pokemon left to fight loses. Agreed?”

I nodded and said “Agreed.” The guy grinned as he shouted “Go Spearow!” He must be thinking that flying types will demolish the two of my best pokemon. What an idiot. I remember how trainers in this world have the misconception that type advantage is everything but now thinking back. This is good for me.

Pulling out my Beedrill I summoned it. Suddenly a buzzing sound other than Beedrill was emitted. I looked up to see a timer and on the side was our pokemon with health bars. I shook my head and focused on the battle beginning to strategize a quick victory.

Once the final buzz sound was emitted from the timer the guy shouted “Spearow use Peck and beat that Beedrill!” Spearow cried showing its fighting spirit while I shouted “Beedrill use agility then Poison Sting! Follow up by String Shot and Fury Attack!”

Beedrill moved quickly getting behind Spearow. The guy shouted “Behind you!” It was too late as Beedrill stabbed it with Poison String blowing it away then using String Shot brought it back tied up and began using Fury Attack. It only took a matter of seconds for the poor Spearow to fall unconscious.

The guy was speechless as he murmured “How!?” I looked at Beedrill and said “Don’t get complacent Beedrill. There are far more powerful pokemon out there and we are still weak.” Beedrill nodded knowing I wasn’t joking.

Flying back I said “Choose your next pokemon.” The guy grabbed another pokeball and threw it summoning Primeape. Having Beedrill return I summoned Butterfree. The buzzing began as the guy shouted “Primeape use Outrage!” Primeape body became red as it ran quickly towards Butterfree.

I calmly ordered “Butterfree use String Shot wrapping it all up then use Sleep Powder followed by Psybeam.”

Butterfree sprayed out a massive amount of String Shot tying the whole Primeape up as it recklessly rushed forward causing the trainer to shout “No! Primeape quickly break free!” My Butterfree was already over it spraying its Sleeping Powder causing Primeape to fall asleep. Afterwards it shot Psybeam quickly defeating it.

The guy fell to his knees and withdrew his Primeape saying “I surrender.” I shook my head thinking that he was far too obsessed with power and type advantage. There was more to fighting than that especially when it comes to strategy. A well thought out plan can overturn the tides of war and battle.

Walking out I once again matched with others. This time I used Pidgey first since I didn’t want to beat them too badly and Pidgey won’t get experience.

The whole week passed just like that. During the morning, afternoon and most of the day we trained in the Pokemon Training Field before going to the arena where we matched with others. Battles began getting harder but there were a few odd balls which indeed used strategy without realizing it.

I didn’t mention it to them since I didn’t want to give my rivals an advantage. There was also no point in doing so since we were complete strangers. If it was Misty then I would mention something about her battle and give advice but not with a stranger.

After the whole week passed we were now inside the room provided by the Pokemon Center relaxing a bit since they had to go through dozens of matches on daily basis. It was an exhausting routine but Pidgey was really close to evolving. It finally reached level 17 and what was stopping it from evolving was probably the fact that its matches were too easy.

Pokemon generally needed to have their potential stimulated by a hard fight or something emotional. Butterfree and Beedrill were different due to the fact that Bug pokemon could more easily evolve compared to others.

Anyway, it was time to count our earning from the system.

-Total earned: 62.5k Poke Dollars and 6.25k Points

There sure is something. Oh crap I’m drooling! I rubbed my face taking care of the issue and started imagining all I could do with the money and points causing me to drool again. Crap! Control yourself! I’m not a kid after all! I’m a grown man in a kid’s body!

I just can’t help myself though! Then the memory of the promise came back with the sound of tears leaking out of my eyes. Why!? Why did I have to promise such a thing!? I should have looked into their prices first! I sighed knowing 60k will go into buying Misty a bike.

A poor man turned rich only to be turned poor the next second. Shaking my head I knew at least I had points even though I doubt the Pokemon Arena will allow me inside for a while. I honestly had to find all kinds of ways to gain fighters since they all became scared to death upon seeing my win/lose ratio.

I had a perfect winning streak. I should also check on my pokemon status. They have improved a lot and are ready for the battle with a Gym Leader. Well, mainly Butterfree and Beedrill. Pidgey first needed to evolve then it probably be ready to wreck the gym.

I will also have to invest into something else from the system but I wasn’t too sure. I could invest in Auras, recipes, breeding techniques, and so on. The list is practically endless. I need to figure something out since I wasn’t too sure what to do at the moment. I will probably strengthen the Friendly Aura and bring it up to Decent level which costs 7.5k while the powerful costs 75k. I’m sure that once I enter the league I will gain a good amount of points but not that much though.

Anyways, here are my pokemon stats.

-Butterfree: lvl 27 / Medium Potential / Moves: String Shot, Tackle, Harden, Confusion, Sleep or Poison Powder, Stun spore, Psybeam, Psychic, Supersonic, Quiver Dance, Whirlwind

-Beedrill: lvl 26 / Medium Potential / Moves: String shot, Poison Sting, Bug Bite, Harden, Peck, Twineedle, Rage, Fury Attack, Agility, Pin Missile, Focus Energy, Poison Jab, Double Team

-Pidgey: lvl 17 (Evolution) / High Potential / Moves: Tackle, Sand Attack, Gust, Mirror Move, Quick Attack, Wing Attack, Whirlwind, Air Slash

I guess it was finally time to buy that bike and challenge the gym leader.

AN: I finally figured how to use the college computers! The keyboard makes it hard for typing though compared to my laptop but I can at least work on it without relying on my laptop and even post when I have time here.
