Author note: Normally I wouldn't add an excerpt like this but I got quite a few ents on the previous chapter talking about how Alex was being mean and rude. I feel like many of you don't seem to uand 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 o act friendly after deg 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 tinue. He wasn't being mean because that would involve him wishing harm , he was just being bluntly hoo Rose that's it.

  The mental herb apparently worked like a direct ter to whatever it was that caused infatuation in battle but only once so I got rid of it and the two extra scope lehis earned me awo skill tickets from the trade in fun but the price of that fun was starting to get expeearing those two tickets I got a new skill and a repeat skill in the forms of a Sinnoh and spearmanship. A Sinnoh was an archeology skill to a degree as it was basically an uanding of the a nguage spoken and written in the Sinnion long ago.-

  I holy didn't see this being useful unless I went ruin diving in that region iure. That or perhaps flirting with thia 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 on actually rose thanks to this from journeyman to adept as a result which was unfortable 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 particur drarayed that it wasn't something painful. One mier I didn't know whether to ugh in joy or cry in frustration as I once again got emotion suppression. As it turned out abilities were different about how repeats worked pared to skills. My inal ability only worked on myself inally but now I could suppress the emotion of another person as well.-

  I had to be toug them but I could still do it which helped make the ability actually very useful. In an iing twist my aura color also ged 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 ge like when I got healing but it was a ge heless. "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 bd white ticket and after carefully cheg to make sure their was no one nearby I tore it t up the pokemon wheel. With fingers crossed I prayed to the great lESUS as the wheel spun until I finally learnt what my eammate was , a Charmander. I was flicted 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 sed 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 fih that even if it did nothing to help the pokemon. The sed variation was a royal one which meant that the pokemon was basically copying Gaia at this point.-

  The final variation though made me smile and punch the air excitedly as it e one. Unlike all the times before when the variations would be chosen and then I'd get the pokemon this time a new wheel appeared. The wheel only had seventeeries on it with the fire and flying types greyed out. I was really really hoping for a water or even an ice variation so that that hole in my team could be patched up. I wasn't so lucky as to have my hopes fulfilled but I did get a type that I didn't have and also helped my teams weako water a little , electric.-

  The system wasted no time at all maing the bd white pokeball in my bag after the wheels finished spinning. I immediately transferred my new Charmander into a normal pokeball before releasing binding the ball to myself and releasing the creature from it's ball. The red light that came out of the ball solidified into the most awesome looking first evolution pokemon I have ever seen so far. The general shape of the body was the same as any normal Charmander but there were serious differences.-

  First was that uhe usual two foot tall version of the species mine was double that size almost like it was a Charmeleon instead of a Charmahe coloration was weird as well as it looked like the Charmander was supposed to take the colors of most electric types which was a bright yellow but due to the shiny variation ended up back at e ironically. 'He might as well not even be shiny!' I pined mentally at the weirdness of the coloration. The biggest differences however came in the form of white stripes like those of a tiger on the Charmanders bad limbs.-

  The small cws on its arms and legs were also bstead of the usual white of the species. The biggest differehough came in the form of the tor the tip of it's tail that all Charmanders had. Rather than a small ball of fire as per normal this Charmander had a pulsing orb of white energy light like looking at pure lightning but not blinding oddly enough. "Char!" the rge e reptile says eagerly. "How about Zeus?" I said to ahe demand for a name.-

  The mon thinks about it for a moment before shaking it's head surprisingly enough. "Thor maybe?" I offered and again I got a shake of the head. "Char! Man! Char!" the reptile said leaving me dumbfounded. 'Somethile? art about electricity is gentle?' I thought with a headache. "Rune?" I offered and thankfully the Charmander seemed to like that name as odd as it was. "Wele to the team Rune I look forward to traveling together." I said and the rest of the team pitched in as well. Rune was a cheerful little dude and quickly made himself friends with the rest of the team.-

  I was actually pretty happy with Ruats 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. Eveer 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 sidered.
