Reincarnated in a Pokémon world

9. Moving

Lyon now had two more companions. The fact that they joined was only a matter of time when both of them were disabled. If they didn't have got any help, it sure would be hard for them to survive in this big forest. The good news was that they could understand what he said, which made the training much easier. This proved that they're just like Eevee, had interacted with a human for a long time. It a bit sucked that they're not as strong as Eevee and didn't have that much talent. Lyon felt that he became too greedy. Well, he couldn't help it when his first Pokémon was so overpowered. It's only natural if he thought about it. Eevee was so abnormally strong. Golden hands couldn't just conveniently pop up here and there.

Usually, when Pokémon used a move, they channeled energy throughout their body, or concentrated it outside their body, or used a part of their body as a catalyst, etc. But both Ralts and Zangoose lost their natural weapon and it meant the number of moves they could use was limited. So Lyon tried to make them use an artificial weapon as a catalyst. Right now they could only temporarily use sticks to practice though.

There were some signs of progress in the training. Ralts, who was only able to use its psychic power at close range as a result of losing its horns, now was able to make it mid and long range too when using a stick as a catalyst. But he needed to find something more durable. The stick could still hold on if it was close-range or mid-range. But Ralts broke the stick every time it cast a move at long range. Well, he could solve this problem later.

Zangoose adapted more than Ralts. When it used Slash, the move was like Sword Slash. It's kind of cool. Seeing this gave Lyon an inspiration. "What if I train them as swordsmen or something? Ralts's final form is Gallade. There's nothing more perfect if it knows the way of the sword. And Zangoose also has a lot of moves can be altered to become kind of like sword skills."

After this thought suddenly popped up, all he could think about was how to change their training to be more suitable. He also had to figure out how to teach them swordsmanship. Well, this was a chance to use his knowledge and imagination from those anime. Not sure if it worked but it's worth a try. (He had already done it when he was trying to create new moves for Eevee though.)

"Oh, and I should find some swords for them. Just sticks won't do. Also, I need to do some research on Pokémon food. Although Eevee had already had its own specialized food, I still have to make more varied kinds. I also need to know what type of food Ralts and Zangoose like and are good for them."

As Lyon was pondering, something caught his eye. It was a white kind of thread that stretched in front of his face.

- What is this? – Lyon wondered.

He was in the middle of searching for a new cave. Why? Because he planned to move out of that place. Lyon had seen a group of pink men wandering around and looking for something. So... Yeah! It's better to find another residence.

It seemed like they were looking for someone, not those two dead men though. Well... he didn't really care if it not related to him but he accidentally heard their conversation which made him understand why those two crazy pink men had attacked him right away without any warning the first time they saw him. They were ordered to carry out their mission secretly. Unfortunately, he had encountered two of them. Well, it was the other two who had been unfortunate though.

Because Lyon wanted to find a new place soon, they split up. Ralts and Zangoose were in a group. Lyon and Eevee went solo. He thought that he was only looking around so as long as he was careful and not stirred up some trouble, they're good. But later he'd regretted when he knew exactly how to jump right into trouble.

Like they said, "Curiosity killed the cat." Lyon did the stupidest thing he could at that time: Trying to touch something you DON'T KNOW!!!

- Urgh, it's sticky. What's this? – Lyon stopped and looked around for more information.

This white thread in front of him was not the only one. A lot of them were tangled like webs. Webs... Webs... SPIDERWEBS!!! F#CK!!! Aojt3@06&wiT%£s49zCu$#

Lyon turned around and ran immediately. There were a lot of spiderwebs covering the area. Judging from the size, he was not sure how big this spider could be. And Lyon, as stupid as he always was, touched the web like he was screaming to the spider: "I'm here! Catch me if you can!!!"

He frantically ran as fast as he could. "Well, I can't be that unlucky. I'm probably able to escape in time." Nah. Drop that pipe dream! Lyon, you're a little too late.

He could see from the side a bunch of spiderwebs was throwing at him. This was where he performed his superb skill in evading flying objects? Hell no. He was f#cking got caught. If he had that kind of skill, he wouldn't have become a poor child running around the forest in the first place.

Lyon collapsed on the ground because of all the spiderwebs wrapping around his body. Even his vision turned white. Lyon heard rustles behind him. He bet that it was a spider because he couldn't hear any sounds it made but he was still able to feel some vibrations coming closer. And it was creepy as hell!!!

Just when Lyon thought he would be dead on the spot, it lifted and carried him somewhere. "Oh, so now I become a piece of its stockpiled goods. Great!!! Well, at least my death anniversary was delayed." That was the last thought came to his mind before he totally fainted.
