Pokemon - Relentless Explorers

Artorius - Spirits & Abilities

Ever since humanity's extinction, pokemon were lost, it all ended in just three years because of a single mistreated family...

Being lost and having no one to guide them brought despair... A despair deep enough to awaken a feral instinct long lost... Their own abilities...

If a pokemon goes through enough despair, they awaken an ability, completely different from what their species have, something that will separate them from all others, those abilities are categorized in "Punch, Touch, Breathing, Vision and Magic" abilities.

[Punch] abilities rely on the pressure put in by their hands or paws, and usually interacts with objects, other pokemon, and even themselves.

For example, one would be able to punch a wall and have it become frail, punch itself and harden the skin on the area, and so on.
The lighter the punch, the less effect it will have.

[Touch] abilities are similar, but unlike punch abilities, they cannot control their intensity, and can interact with basically anything.

For example, upon touch, someone could make flowers and even other plants grow from thin air, control a certain element, increase physical strength, and so on.
This kind of ability is usually very strong, but the user can be easily predicted in a fight, as its intensity and use rarely ever changes

[Breathing] abilities are the most unpredictable and powerful ones, but require a lot of energy and a fit body to use, how they work is unknown and they got this name because of how shaky the user's breath becomes when using them.

Being strong and unpredictable, needless to say, makes them perfect for combat, and some even have everyday life uses, those abilities have the possibility of altering reality itself, such as making illusions appear, curses, accelerate or slow down your mind, and so on.

[Vision] abilities are very easy to notice, as when a pokemon has it, their eyes's iris is a lot different from normal, and so is the color, these abilities rely on having your target in your field of vision

Examples of such an ability is to be able to see through things, move things with your mind ( as long as they are in your field of vision ), and even being used to improve your concentration on things. The range of these abilities is wide, and usually the weirdest.

[Magic] abilities are abilities that cannot be explained by any of the categories, they can range from very powerful or too weak to notice, but they don't fall into any sort of explanation

Those abilities can be paradoxical, such as turning into stone, breathe inside water despite being from land, flying with no wings... overall, things that cannot be explained by science itself are left answered by the word "magic".

The Spirits.

The Spirits are entities that come from an unknown realm and what made the pokemon society to evolve so quickly without humans, they gave them the "hand" they needed.

They come in various colors and names, and are usually shaped like a human hand or, when fully developed and manifested, big and tamed beasts that fight alongside their owner

As the years went by, pokemon slowly forgot most of their so called "moves", the few left are considered "powers" and are usually unique to their type, such as a psychic's type Psychic.

The lack of using said moves meant that the energy they had stored for it was left alone for a long time, and this got the spirit's attention, by using their "PP", or "Power Points", they can manifest and help the pokemon with various activities, and the stronger the pokemon, the easier it is for the spirit to fully manifest itself.
