6 The System

What the fuck s this? there was text popping up in my eyes as engraved in my retina. I thought that I was in the pokemon world, not a random VRMMORPG. Whatever.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. I did start to read it.

[Ash Ketchum]

[Aura practitioner Lv1 (Aura unlocked)]

[Title - The chosen one (Improve LUK but reduce INT)]

[Health 5/15]

[Aura 2/5]

'what the hell is that title? you can be serious.' There was no life in my eyes as I looked at this bullshit. Wooah looks at that stats, really shitty ones. I wonder if is because I am human or just because of I'm weak...

Ash: "Well, show me what can you do. Let's see..."

[STATS]

[SKILLS]

[INVENTORY]

[TITLES]

[STORE]

'huh, let's try with the first one'

Ash: "STATS"

suddenly I feel weak and almost drop in my knees. I looked at my status, my aura has dropped to 1/5.

VIT: 3

STR: 4

DEX: 4

AGY: 3

INT: 15 (-5)

LUK: 2 (10)

Health: 15 ( VIT * 5 )

Aura: 5 ( ( INT * 0.3 ) + ( VIT * 0.6 ) )

Evasion: 5 ( AGY + ( DEX * 0.5 ) )

Poise: 5 ( STR + ( VIT * 0.5 ) )

*Under effects of "The Chosen one" title.

**STATS may affect the performance of the host actions

Poise? so I can just endure be poked to death? That's not really a promising future.

Evasion looks more useful.

It looks like I will not be a damage dealer, and be reduced to be the support. Stupid system.

I can't see any regen stats, I suppose that I will have to find that by myself. I'm very tired, time to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been examining the system. I don't know about my health, but my Aura takes half of a day to be at full again.

The functions feel like downgraded versions of what I did have in mind, the INVENTORY cant store items from the real world, and is limited to items that I bought in the STORE. This last is more useful, allow me to buy items from the Pokemon video games with money from real money. But the prices are huge! how in the earth would an 8-year child have that much money? There is no need to say that I could not buy anything.

The SKILLS are passive-type skills, they increase my proficiency. They have 4 stages: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master. Every stage has 9 level. It's not that hard to acquire one but is harsh to raise its proficiency.

So that left the TITLES, they can be obtained from events or exceptional exploits. At this moment I have just 3.

The chosen one, Midget Researcher, and Awakened.

Awakened increase my aura points by 20%. That would be 1 aura point, it's not really useful at this moment.

The chosen one is really an extraordinary title. It takes a third of my INT in exchange multiply my LUK by 5.

But I'm currently using the Midget Researcher title. I did acquire this by working at Oak's lab, it doesn't boost my stats but it gains 50% extra of proficiency to any skills related to pokemon.

I've been using this for a while, my [Pokemon breeding] skill has propelled to Beginner 7 is just a week. And that only by feeding them, this going to be really helpful later.

Unfortunately, my other skills that are not related to pokemon don't go up. [Movement] skill have not improved after it did rise to Beginner 2. [Strong Will] is at Beginner 1 but I don't want to train this one, I am not a punchbag and don't wish to be.

Today we going to a camp organized by Prof. Oak, he told us that a famous Rhyhorn racer will show us how to ride. Gary is excited at the idea of competing against me in a race, I am just ignoring him.

Gary: You don't think that you can run from this, Ash. Today is the day that I will crush you and show who is the best of both us.

I deadpanned at him.

Ash: "You talk too much for someone that lose every time, you need more than words and threats."

Gary: "Don't talk like you already won! I'll surpass you this time."

Ash: "Sure." I turn around to see the Rhyhorns, I thought that they will be bigger than this. I wonder what it feels to ride on them.

Grace: "Everyone! Come closer!"

it seems that Grace has finally come. And I know that Serena should be here.

Let's see...yes. There she is, a big hat and shy attitude.

Grace: "Today I will teach you the basics about riding a Rhyhorn. Listen attentively, Rhyhorns are very quiet and noble. But if you provoke them, they can be really aggressive and territorials."

Then she did go forward and teach us the right way how to mount a Rhyhorn.

After some tries, I got the skill [Riding] thanks to my title. After that was all smooth, Grace did praise me, while Gary looked at my mix of jealousy and intense rivalry.

Grace see that they many of us were talented ones and decided to make us race against each other. I win against Gary but it wasn't easy as I thought would be.

It seems that Grace was so busy that doesn't seem to know that Serena has disappeared.

Ash: Mrs. "Grace, I will borrow this buddy for a while!"

She looked not knowing what to say.

Grace. "All right, Ash! but don't go too far and come back before sunset!"

Now. Where has Serena gone?

It doesn't take much time until I hear her crying, I hurried Rhyhorn up to there. When I finally find her there was a little Poliwag close to her, she was so scared of it that have fallen and hurt her knee.

Ash: "It's enough Poliwag, you are scaring her. You can Go now, I will help her."

Poliwag looked at me for a moment and then disappear in the tall grass.

Ash: "You are the Daughter of Mrs. Grace, isn't it that right? Come let me help you."

I used my handkerchief to bandage her knee, she got shy but at last, accept my help.

It was troublesome, but I got her to mount Rhyhorn and take her back to the camp.

After that, she comes to my house sometime, and we become friends. I tell her stories about Pokemon Contests, and about what is a pokemon coordinator.

A weeks later Grace decided to move to Kalos. Serena cried almost all day, but after I told her that we'll meet again she was smiling like an idiot.
