PP SYS Ch 18: Splash!
"No, of course not," I said as I shook my head. "I want to help you because I care about you, and I know that we can make a difference together."
Lusamine was quiet for a moment longer before she shook her head. "This is all too much for me... I need some time to think about this."
"Of course," I said as I nodded my head. "I am going to go check on Nurse Joy and then come back later. We can talk more than, okay?"
Lusamine just nodded her head before she turned away from me and walked over to her house, and entered it without looking back.
I could more than understand what she was going through, and she needed some time. The fact that she was acting this reasonably must have something to do with the Pokeball.
[The Paradise Pokeballs do have a calming effect on those caught in them.] Cryo said as I stood for a moment and then closed my eyes.
One thing that was nice was that there was food in the houses, but they were just something like protein bars. Not much, but there were a certain number of them you could have each day. Lusamine hadn't complained, so maybe my system made sure that each person or Pokémon got what they liked.
I opened my eyes in surprise as Cosmog was floating in front of me, smiling cutely. The space I was in had no gravity, so I really wasn't able to get away as the cute multi-colored gaseous, and sexy Pokémon pressed her mostly black body into mine.
"I feel so weird!" Cosmog said as she shifted around in the dress for a bit. "Everything feels really nice, and I can actually feel things! Like your fingers running through my hair!"
She floated back over to me and into my arms so I would run my hands through her strange curly hair, making her purr in my arms. Now that I had clothing on her, there was only one thing left to do before we went out into the world. I needed to learn what kind of moves she had because that would be important if I wanted to get her level up.
"So, can you tell me what kind of moves you have?" I asked, and Cosmog looked up at me with a smile, nodding with excitement.
"Splash!" Cosmog said, and I waited for a moment.
Then I waited for another.
Then something was telling me that Cosmog wasn't going to say another move because she didn't have any... She was a space Magikarp.
"Is that your only move?" I asked, and she nodded her head vigorously.
Splash was a move that a few very weak Pokémon had, and it did not damage. I am not even sure why it was considered a move! It didn't even make a splash! They just flopped around like dead fish! Although, Cosmog would look really cute flopping around like a dead fish.
"I see... well, that is fine," I lied as I tried to smile and make her feel better about only knowing Splash. "That just means that we have to get you to the next level so you can learn more moves!"
[Cosmog only will learn to teleport after a while, but you are going to have to get ahold of a Psychic TM to teach, or you are going to have to mate with her. That might give you a chance to earn a TM, but it is not guaranteed. It is still your best shot currently, but you can still take her out and work on your bond. If you increase that higher, the Quest might give better rewards. I can not say for sure about the rewards because I am not in control of them, so I don't know how they work.]
