After the "Fearow" Incident...
We began to make our way towards Pewter City after a little rest.
I explained what happened to everyone after they woke up, and they seemed oddly mentally drained, so most of them decided to stay inside their Pokeballs for the rest of the trip.
The only ones who weren't were Mina, Zen, Sui, Liv and Shizu. Oh, and Lock too... Although, he just stuck himself into my Bag and was taking one hell of a nap. Mina was resting on my shoulders, and Sui slept with Lock. Liv and Shizu were walking by my side, Shizu in her arms sleeping, and Zen was following from behind.
"I'm surprised. I didn't think you would have the capabilities to walk on water." Liv said.
'Well, according to the System I can. ...I think.'
"I really need more points. If I don't, then..."
The entirety of the trip, Zen has been eyeing me up and down, piercing me with daggers.
'Lord knows what she'll do... I seriously need to walk on water... ...And that is a sentence I never thought I'd say.'
It's been a few hours now, and the sun was starting to set. Pewter City was still a ways away, but I could kind of make it out in the distance.
'...Might as well practice some Skills...'
Looking through my Skills...
'Hmm... I haven't tried this Skill out since the Cave.'
<Hawk Eye>
Suddenly, my Vision honed in on the distant Pewter City. It still looked a ways away, but it looked like it'd take less than an Hour to get there...
...And then I immediately started getting a bit nauseous.
'Ugh... Now I remember why I don't move with this Skill active.'
All at once, my Vision returned to normal, and I rubbed my eyes.
"Are you alright?" Liv looked concerned.
"Yeah, just... regretting using certain Skills. I'm fine now." I sighed.
'I have a ton of Skills I need to level up... ...Ah, maybe... let's try and focus on feeling my Mana.'
I began to focus on the feeling of my Body as we walked...
...I couldn't feel anything. ...At least, not yet.
'I know I'm supposed to be feeling something... Like when my Mana runs out. If only I could remember...'
<Recall>
Suddenly, an overwhelming sensation came over me.
I began to recall the sensation I had when my Mana ran out. The Emptiness. The Lacking Sensation. The Feeling of being Devoid of...
...Something Cool.
...Slowly, I began to slightly feel a sort of chill lightly begin to swirl within my body, albeit very, very faintly.
'...Is this... ...Mana?'

Almost immediately I could feel it...
This Sensation within me that felt like Cold Blood flowing through me...
It was an Odd, yet Comfortable feeling.
'This feels... kind of nice... ...Now... if I want to walk on Water, I probably have to focus my Mana to my Feet, right? ...Easier said than done, but let's give it a shot.'
