Destructive potential

Destructive potential

I meditated with Vulcan for the next six hours roughly before Gaia started to stir from her slumber. Pupitar were a bit strange in how they moved about as they had a series of vents along the sides of their body that they use to pull in and expel compressed air to move about. Much like you'd expect this meant that when Gaia started to wake up and tried to move the air she shot out kicked up all the sand and dust in the cave. *cough! cough!* "God damn it all!" I cursed loudly while shielding my eyes to keep the flying dust and sand away.-

Soon though the sand and dust was totally gone from the cave and I could actually take a look at Gaia who was awake. When I opened my eyes I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as Gaia had somehow wedged herself at an angle at the back of the cave and was panicking. I knew her unfamiliarity with her new form would be rough after she woke up but this was both funny and sad to watch. "Vulcan go help her get unstuck." I said and the legendary snorted but stood up to do as I said.-

It was not gentle at all when it helped Gaia though as it grabbed her shell with it's paw and yanked , hard. Gaia popped out from the spot she was wedged and slammed into the other side of the cave which made my eye twitch just a little. Sure she wasn't stuck anymore but that was unnecessarily aggressive on Vulcans part. Gaia just glared at the legendary and looked like she wanted to retaliate but chose not to. I had expressly forbidden the use of moves in or around the cave since that was a fast way to turn me into a past tense.-

Since I definitely couldn't run away fast enough in an enclosed area like this that rule was very important. The look Gaia was giving Vulcan though told me that she definitely planned to get it back for this though and I couldn't really blame her. "Oi! Listen here you! We are a team and treating your teammates like that is a good way to find yourself in a bad position later , I expected better from you." I said using the most effective punishment I knew of for prideful shits like Vulcan , disappointment.-

The sun was already almost all the way down but Gaia had night vision so it didn't matter to her one way or the other. Once she got clear of the cave Gaia immediately started blasting her vents hard to basically accelerate as much as possible. This forced her to quickly get a handle of her new form of movement or risk crashing constantly. And oh did she ever , the mountain , the ground , trees nothing was safe from her hard and destructive faceplanting. I could totally see how people might think her species could destroy mountains with the sheer destruction she left per faceplant.-

If trained enough I imagine there is in fact a good possibility that a Tyranitar could actually rearrange a map by going all out. The reason for this is because while a pokemons stats will rise as it trains and masters it's moves the toughness of the surroundings remains at the same level it has always been. The worst part though is that humans have found out exactly what level of training is required to be strong enough to flatten mountains and it's not champion level.-

I looked it up on the pokenav and the answer was a mere ace level of training is required to become capable of changing maps albeit barely. In terms of gym badges that is to say someone with six of them would most likely reach this point. At this very moment Gaia was roughly at the four badge level in terms of sheer power. With that said she wasn't capable of knocking down the mountain or clearing the forest at the moment but she certainly had the potential to do so. Gaia only took an hour or so of constantly crashing to lesson the amount of it she did which was good progress in my opinion.-

Her evolution had made Gaia stupidly hard so even after this hour of crashing she didn't have a scratch on her. The thing that irritated me the most though was that she figured out how to get really high into the sky using her vents. See the way Pupitars air vents worked was that they had two incredibly large and powerful lungs that were connected but also functioned in two different capacities. The first drew in air through the vents not in use and compressed it before passing it to the second lung that then released it through whichever vent was needed. So if the first lung filled up with air and the second lung did the same before all that air was released at once then the distance into the air the Pupitar went doubled , Gaia figured that out.
