171It was the shaking of whatever I was sleeping on that woke me up. Lifting my head up from my crossed arms, I look around to see where I am. Huh, looks like I woke up in a train car. "Umm... how would i activate it? [Perfect Recall]." OH! that's how it works. l'm apparently 17 again and i've been kicked out of my parents house after i obtained my trainer's license. I'm on my way to Professor Sycamore's Lab to apply for his Trainer/Researcher program. I apparently have the same taste in clothes, that i did in my past life as well, with my Leather jacket, hoodie, jeans, and work boots. I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb in Kalos' Fashion over Function environment.
I look around the booth i'm sitting in to see if i can find my Bag. Without it i'd be screwed seeing as in this world, nobody keeps things in their pockets, just their bags. Yeah, the first thing i do after noticing my bag is on the floor is whisper, [Inventory] before kicking it in. After which i jump in place as the Minecraft ding plays in my head.
*Ting-a-ling*
[Achievement Luggage Earned +10 AP]
The Fuck's AP and seriously Minecraft noises?! I'd rather deal with Pinging sounds!
[Achievements are milestones you unlock when you complete a hidden task. Each Achievement gives you a reward, ranging from Items, Experience, Perks/Flaws, Titles, Money, and AP. AP are Achievement Points, spendable points able to Upgrade Skills, Stats, or buy special rewards from the Achievement Store.]
That still doesn't explain the noise, i thought it was supposed to be a Ping? Also what Achievement did i earn anyways?
[Luggage: Open your Inventory before even starting the Tutorial.]
Oh, so there's going to be a tutorial. I guess i should've expected that given that this is technically a Game. So, hit me with it System, what's the tutorial. its probably just an early quest or something.
[By Earning an Achievement and circumventing the Tutorial itself you have earned Bonus Rewards.]
+1 Level
+2 Int
+2 Wis
+1 Gacha Token
Wait, I Don't get a tutorial anymore? I [Story Benefits] could've kicked and this would be multiplied! Shit! Well, at least i got a Gacha token from it, in the fanfictions i used to read early Gachas are usually the best. So, big money! No Whamey!
[Rolling Gacha...]
[Uncomon Item obtained! +1 Chitinous Plate Gauntlets!]
[Chitinous Plate Gauntlets: Gauntlets made from Large Insects, Stronger than Leather and weaker than Steel, these Gauntlets are great for any starting Tanks! +4 End and +15% Damage Resistance. Durability 20/20.]
Okay, Not the best, but still pretty useful early game. Let's equip them real quick, and Bam! My forearms and hands are covered in Rust colored Gauntlets, that honestly look like badly rusted iron at first glance. These probably won't help, with my [Vagabond] Flaw, but screw that! I'm in a world that's already going to be gunning for me, i need as big advantages as I can get. Besides, theses are actually comfy, feeling like heavy compression gloves. Wait, I just formed gloves around my hands in a Public enclosed space. Glancing around i see that the only three other people in this train car are looking at a Holocaster, playing what looks like a movie. Wow, that honestly looks like shit! give me 2d screens any day over Blue holograms anyday.
Back to my own situation, I still don't know who my Rival is, and that makes me nervous. What if some guy with a Charmander just came up to me and ordered it to Ember me? I would be shit out of luck and- wait did a Pansage just run by me? Holy shit! My first real life Pokemon encounter! Wow, the green parts of its fur look like leaves in real life! I quickly look to above its head and see [Wild Pansage. Lvl.7], That means that, that tiny leaf monkey is 70 times me in strength already at the minimum. Hoo-boy this is gonna be a wild ride. and that's when i got a notification.
[Through the repeated action of looking at things, you have gained the Skill: Observe!]
[Observe Lvl.1 (0%): By using the power of the Gamer, you can now look at others and gain a inclination of their Level, Name, and General Health]
Handy, now let's see if i have to say it, to use it. [Observe]!
[Table. Lvl:0. Health: Green]
Okay, I don't need to vocalize it, what about Spells? [Burdening Touch]! nope. Dont need to say that either, but the table is not creaking, though. Hmm... what would happen if it cast it on my self? [Burdening Touch] ! Jesus, it feels like im being pulled down by my skin!
[through Forces beyond natural, you have gained [Gravity Resistance]] And because, i haven't let the spell up, the weight increased! [Gravity Resistance Leveled Up] Turning it off before it could increase any further, I start panting. That felt like a struggle to breathe normally! looking at my Bars Mp, having nearly doubled, was missing a fraction and Sp had a good third of it gone. Also, what was up with [Gravity Resistance] could eventually deify a fundamental part of the Universe early? yeah, no more testing Debuffs on my self, until i test it on something else. for now im just going to cast [Protect Self] until we reach the station. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . By the System, I have drained my Mp multiple times and actually leveled up on this week long train ride, just using [Protect Self] and [Protect Other] on the Pansage running up and down the train. I'm pretty sure by now my Rival is going to have no chance now that i've spent an entire week leveling up my Skills and literally nothing else. My hatred of Public transportation has proven me right once again. I should've realized that Kanto, Pokemon's Japan would have a long travel time to Kalos, Pokemon's Paris. At least i saw some interesting Regions making up this world's Asia go by the window. Honestly, by the fifth day, i finally caved and watched one of the shitty, Holocast movies. Here's the windows that popped in during this time. [You Have Leveled Up x3] [Protect Self (Novice) Leveled up to Protect Self (Apprentice)] [Protect Self (Apprentice) Leveled up to Protect Self (Journeyman)] [Protect Self (Journeyman) Leveled up to Protect Self (Expert)] [Protect Other (Novice) Leveled up to Protect Other (Apprentice)] [Observe leveled up x12] I'm only a few points of Int away from [Work Smarter] from kicking in and making this process even faster, but by this point if i don't get off this train soon, i'm going to start casting Stark Reality at the other people in the train. But at least i learned I no longer need to eat, sleep, or use the Toilet. Another thing is that a five minute nap can fully restore me with [Gamer's Body] letting me cast my spells almost constantly. Thankfully, there's only an hour left on this System forsaken train. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Stepping off the train, I almost feel like weeping. I also notice people and their pokemon side-eyeing me as they pass by me. It could be my very thuggish look, the fact that i'm honestly a head above most people, [Vagabond], my gauntlets, or a mixture of all four. Ignoring them I pull up my Mini-map that i discovered in my settings, and hum along with Lumiose City's BGM as i walk out of the train station and towards Sycamore's lab. I honestly got too into Humming the Music. i could tell because i accidentally walk straight into someone, someone much smaller than me, and boy did they make it known. "Watch where you're going you Brute!" the girl? Woman? Screamed up at me from the ground, laying in a pile of knocked over luggage. Wait! I know that voice, and when I looked down I saw someone I wasn't expecting for at least another world. [Weiss Schnee.] [Lvl.10.] [Health: Green.] [Thoughts on you: Annoyance, Disgust, Anger] [Status: Eternal Rival] . . . . . . . AN: So, i got the writing bug today and just had to make this chapter. don't expect chapters to come out this close together often, it just depends on my mood. On the other hand dont worry about me abandoning this story anytime soon either. it could just take me a month or two. moving past that, did you guys like that Cliffhanger, I was just gonna make an OC or an actual Pokemon character be Clay's Rival, but then i thought, how could i make it to where Clay wouldn't try to kill them at his earliest convenience. Then i got the perfect idea, make it one of our favorite Waifu's, and thus Weiss was chosen. Also do you guys want me to post Clay's character sheet at the end of each chapter or only bring it up when it comes up?
