Repeats and Rune

Repeats and Rune

Author note: Normally I wouldn't add an excerpt like this but I got quite a few comments on the previous chapter talking about how Alex was being mean and rude. I feel like many of you don't seem to understand the sort of person Alex is despite my best efforts to all but point it out. He is a realistic pragmatist with a bad case of apathy. What this means is that he looks at the situation from an almost purely cold logical point of view. There was literally no reason why he needed to act friendly after deciding leave town , he acted nice while he was there because it makes things easier to get done smoothly , after leaving he had no reason to continue. He wasn't being mean because that would involve him wishing harm , he was just being bluntly honest to Rose that's it.

The mental herb apparently worked like a direct counter to whatever it was that caused infatuation in battle but only once so I got rid of it and the two extra scope lenses. This earned me another two skill tickets from the trade in function but the price of that function was starting to get expensive. Tearing those two tickets I got a new skill and a repeat skill in the forms of ancient Sinnoh and spearmanship. Ancient Sinnoh was an archeology skill to a degree as it was basically an understanding of the ancient language spoken and written in the Sinnoh region long ago.-Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

I honestly didn't see this being useful unless I went ruin diving in that region in the future. That or perhaps flirting with Cynthia should I meet her since she was some sort of history fanatic if I remember correctly. I found out that repeats of a skill actually works like using five exp tickets on the skill. My mastery of the weapon actually rose thanks to this from journeyman to adept as a result which was uncomfortable as I felt my muscles shift to a degree.-

'Well since I am already doing tickets let me get the worse of the lot over with already' I thought and decisively tore the ability ticket. I was rather nervous about the result of this particular draw and prayed that it wasn't something painful. One minute later I didn't know whether to laugh in joy or cry in frustration as I once again got emotion suppression. As it turned out abilities were different about how repeats worked compared to skills. My original ability only worked on myself originally but now I could suppress the emotion of another person as well.-

I had to be touching them but I could still do it which helped make the ability actually very useful. In an interesting twist my aura color also changed once again while I gained a slightly higher amount of aura. My aura went from white with blue streaks in it to now having grey streaks in it as well. It wasn't a massive change like when I got healing but it was a change nonetheless. "And that just leaves the pokemon ticket , wish me luck guys." I said and my pokemon all voiced out their blessings.-

I took out the black and white ticket and after carefully checking to make sure their was no one nearby I tore it to bring up the pokemon wheel. With fingers crossed I prayed to the great lord RNGESUS as the wheel spun until I finally learnt what my new teammate was , a Charmander. I was conflicted as all hell when I saw that as I had fire type covered already but at the same time that was a great pokemon. That was when the second wheel to determine if it would have any variations came up and I prayed super hard for at least one in hopes of getting a type variation.-

My prayers were answered and I couldn't help but stare in disbelief at what I got , yes 3x. This means that this Charmander will have three different variations which was one over even Gaia. The third and usually final wheel then popped up and I no longer prayed as no matter what I got I would be satisfied. The first variation was a shiny variation and I was fine with that even if it did nothing to help the pokemon. The second variation was a royal one which meant that the pokemon was basically copying Gaia at this point.-

Variations: Royal , Shiny , Elemental(electric)

Attack:100

Defense:61

Sp. Atk:112

Sp. Def:73

Speed:70

Ability: Volt absorb(N)]

I was actually pretty happy with Runes stats and his ability was clearly a result of his variation but gave him a way to heal mid battle so I was good with it. Even better was that he had swords dance as an egg move which was by far one of the best stat boosting moves I knew of alongside calm mind for clear damage dealers like Rune. All in all I was quite happy with my draw this time all things considered.
