First time for everything

First time for everything

Looking at my status again I see that this skill was also at "novice" and shrugged since I honestly didn't see me needing this skill very much. Unlike the common language skill that was likely to be crucial to living in this world cleaning didn't really seem like a vital skill to my survival. Not to say I wasn't happy to have the skill since I am pretty sure I can't have too many skills and every little bit helps. Surprisingly I noticed a change to my race as well as some of my stats on my status screen.-

My race had changed to Human-bonded and my strength , agility and aura had increased by two whole points. I of course asked the system about this and was surprised to learn that this was one of the perks of being a pokemon trainer. Even crazier was that the boost each bonded pokemon gave was different based on it's own traits as well as strength. Gaia's species for example usually only gave half a point as untrained Larvitars but thanks to her royal and shiny variations she gave two points. Normal non pseudo-legendries however usually only gave twenty five percent of a point.-

"GRUUU!" My stomach grumbled in hunger pulling me out of my thoughts as I noticed that I simply didn't have any food on hand. "Hey Gaia what do you normally eat?" I asked my companion since I legitimately didn't know. How could I when all I knew about pokemon diets was berries , candy and poffins from the games and that was it. Rather than go looking for berries or some other edible thing I assumed asking Gaia if she was an omnivore , carnivore or herbivore was a good idea. The answer I got was the most pokemon thing ever as she simply leaned over and took a mouthful of stone from the caves wall and chewed it up before swallowing it.-

"Well at least you don't have very high requirements." I said with a chuckle and got a deep rumble from Gaia in response like she was laughing. "Well stand up , I can't eat rocks like you and need a bodyguard while I forage for food for me." I said in my rough common getting another rumble from her as she stood up and started walking out the cave. Once out of the cave I took a good look around just like Gaia did to familiarize myself with the area.-

"Lar! Tar!" she then said and I could somehow instinctively know she was saying that I needed a fire now. 'Well lets see if I remember how to make a fire from all those YouTube videos.' I thought as I grabbed a bunch of dry pine needles from the ground and some sticks that looked pretty dry as well and had Gaia follow me back to the cave where I piled up the sticks and pine needles. Reaching into my jeans pocket I pull out the remnants of my zippo lighter that I always had on me for comfort.-

It was mostly destroyed just like most of my clothes but the striker still worked much to my relief. Tearing off a bit of my shirt I clicked the striker a few times before the cotton caught and I hurriedly stuffed it into the mess of pine needles and started to blow on it gently. Soon my small pile of sticks was burning as white smoke came from the fire. "Yes!" I celebrated my small victory loudly and Gaia merely rumbled at me in amusement.-

I had her rip off the skin of the corpse which she did in a brutal show of power by simply pulling it off like she was peeling an orange. I had to make a few tips to collect more pine needles and sticks as well as a log from a nearby fallen tree before using some of the sticks to hold the meat and bones over the fire at an angle like all those videos showed. The fat dripped from the meat into the fire below sending up a heavy meat smell that had my stomach rumbling loudly. Once I thought that the meat on one side was done I carefully flipped over my cooking food and allowed the other to cook.

Author note : If you have any ideas for skills , abilities , items or pokemon variations that make sense feel free and let me know and who knows if the RNG gods favor you it might actually show up.
