"Godai. The Great Five. It referred that the area within what is now Godai originally was five Nations that eventually became one after what could only be described as a protracted war." He responded to the Zorua child, looking over at her momentarily. "Although there was a group of Monks who lived in Djenganti, which is where I eventually had been 'rifted' to this world through one of those 'Ultra Wormholes'."He listened to Mishu comment about Squirtle's 'sac'. "Yes, they will produce it in their organs, but think about it. A Squirtle could put out a mass of water with Hydro Pump, per second, equivalent if not exceeding its body mass. Is this not correct? That level of water would require them to be converting moisture from some other source than themselves or they'd exhaust or die from sheer dehydration in a near instant. That was one such clue my predecessors had.
Wherein you have Alola, we had a land named Isda on another part of our globe. Whereas we had naturally occuring Mega Stones, the Z-Crystals and a plethora of variation Pokemon came from there. In my world, we referred to that as a 'Isdan' Grimer. Of course, we didn't have pokemon like Copperajah."Vartio glanced now at Mishu out of the corner of his eye. The more things were similar the more suspicious he was Arceism or something else may indeed be the truth of matters. That or mayhaps all Pokemon truly sourced from some sort of interdimensional hijynx? He watched as the Ponyta would proceed to let out a space-bending wave of psychic energy. Confusion, it had been a long time since he had seen that attack. Heim would struggle and endure, but not before the vines wrapped around Ponyta, finding the rough structure of the shield and proceeding to drain them, the structure becoming visible like glass planes that would proceed to break like said substance, the Ponyta exposed. And in its anger, it would launch another attack which would knock down Heim. [ "Ughhh! Sorry, I did my best...!"] cried out the Tangela in Pokespeak, Vartio approaching the injured pokemon before patting the top of its head. Lifting the Pokeball Heim belonged to, he recalled it in kind. "Oh we have Pokemon able to portray their emotions, fluidly so. Psychic Types especially are empathic. It is said that, compared to Pre-Pokemon Species like Cats or dogs, though, Pokemon are per capita more intelligent than pre-pokemon equivalents. Susan here basically is smart as a human... lazy as one too." Susan grabbed the cracker offered by Mishu, before stopping, her eyes widening before glancing over at Vartio and bapping the back of his head with a tail whip. His head bounced forwards a bit before he grinned at her, the Rodent sticking a tongue out at him before going to nom on her cracker. Vartio meanwhile would take hold of the Pokeball that contained his next Pokemon. He had slightly miscalculated, but only slightly. Either way victory was in sight. He continued speaking while looking at the Pokeball. "Yes, we discovered that Lucario's head-appendages were aural radars, of sorts. Of course this was long before me, so I could never give you the full details. Once they discovered that one could use Condorous materials like Candorite or Candor - Wood for example - like 'magnets' to aura, our scientists eventually replicated the process to learn the details of aura.
The age of requiring a Lucario for anything short of the most precise measurements passed a couple decades ago. The Pokemon's ability to detect aura was still ahead of ours by a couple degrees. We can emulate but we can never truly copy the wonder.
Why... would you assume we'd need to experiment on Lucario in the modern day, when we've already comprehended pokemon are nothing more than Wavelengths? If we understood that, then it comes to comprehending the wavelengths themselves to study anything of necessity unless it escapes modern common logic. Unnecessary experimentation like that would have no benefits."Vartio clearly could go a few leagues more in depth, but wasn't quite yet. He proceeded to throw out the Pokeball, which popped open to reveal his 'Trump Card'. What revealed itself from within was a long grey-tone fish pokemon with pink scales, which swam about in mid air. [ "AHHH YAH! I AM SO BACK! AND I SEE MY LITTLE PONY ON THE MENU TONIGHT!"] cried out the Ravenous fish pokemon. Vartio could only smile while watching Mishu give out their orders. "Excellent, so Pokemon here do still evolve utilizing Stones. Have a few on me, but didn't yet get a Pokemon to check, so I presumed it's the same.
What I meant is for a reference of how developed its aura is. Or in relative terms you comprehend: 'What level is it'.
In Godai, we had no proper perception of 'level'. I had postulated something similar but plenty of Pokemon existed who were younger yet evolved, or older and not evolved - and not by their choice - which threw any discernable concept out the window, especially since two Pokemon undergoing similar events could grow at different speeds. An... annoying issue with measuring.
Falkner's Pidgeotto would be an example that prevented a known case of properly measuring levels, moreso because a Pokemon's capabilities could further vary by the individual in certain portions of its combat ability. While it was clearly an 'early bird', pun intended, for evolution compared to human-raised specimens, it is hard to establish in my world how low because their abilities could wildly fluctuate even amongst similar developmental levels.
To put it simply, here imagine 3 level 10 pokemon. They could each have different abilities across three or even all five of their non-health statistical aural wavelengths. Which makes identifying a pokemon's 'progression', their level of growth, guesswork at best based on a Pokemon's most advanced move. Hence trainers existed who would keep their trump cards hidden to throw off their enemies.
To give an example, let's use a Voltorb. Their speeds could vary by a decent degree, and their other stat wavelengths would 'suffer' for it. Because there were about 7 different documented ranges for speed that their auras fell under, it was hard to distinguish a Voltorb without a direct body scan of their aural potential. A Voltorb could, without knowing if it has Sonic Boom or Eerie Impulse as its most advanced move, easily fall under what this world deems levels 4 to 6, if not even wider than that. But in Godai we'd have to spitball based on our perception of a Pokemon's abilities from experience or study.
Won't lie, figuring out Pokemon here are limited to only four moves was... enlightning... seems at least that this world's latent aural wavelengths have led to divergent evolution that makes moves more restrictive but in exchange makes developmental, or statistical, aura easier to perceive, hence the easily definable context of 'level' in this world."Vartio looked at Veluzaur, having finished his lecture. "Veluzaur, Aqua Jet."[ "ABOUT TIME I COULD LET LOOSE! WASN'T GIVEN A CHOICE BACK IN THAT STUPID BUG MALL!"] it roared out, launching towards the Ponyta like a missile out of hell.
Vartio replaced Heim with Veluzaur the Veluza. Vartio declared Veluza use Aqua Jet.

Small blue orbs like drops of the ocean itself reflected Vartio’s image in their gaze as they studied him. He explained as easily to her huffed comment, causing a moment of indignation to flicker between the gaze like a ghost darting out of the room as light burst on from bulbs that hovered overhead. “A nation of fools who believe they can be united after the hate that eats away at their own flesh, shall only find inner turmoil and strife ripping their society asunder from within. What kind of fools would create a war like that and hope that the whole area would be reunited under such a slap-in-the-face kind of name?” Halestorm growled low underneath her breath, turning her face away from Vartio with a glance outwards.
“Halestorm, please!” Mishu corrected, reacting out to the illusioned kit who remained dismissive. “He is kind enough to explain his past to you.” Halestorm curled her lips back, part of the illusions fading ever so slightly that half of her lips were dark black with fur like a Zorua, whilst the other half remained fully pale and human-like as the illusioned child she often pretended to be. “He is a fool. He thinks that our friend, ꓘorn, is an Isdan ‘Grimer’ because his people had no way of knowing who or what an Alola region was or its people. “ She snapped back, recovering the illusion once more before settling just behind Mishu’s leg. She hadn’t ventured around many others with Halestorm, so in truth was she just this distrustful naturally?
Mishu sighed with a shake of her head as the horned equine reared once more, releasing two powerful blasts of psychic energy and targeted Vartio’s friend instead, giving ꓘorn a bit of a window to slap it silly. She smiled for a moment, enjoying the scenery even with the hardships they faced trying to tame the beast, and just soaked in the wonder of it all. Such a powerful beast, augmented beyond its natural size, in a form that was so natural to Mishu’s understanding she didn’t even think to question it after seeing it. The wormhole remained the greatest mystery, and the link that caused the phenomenon this far off the mainland of Galar…. That was slightly troubling to say the least. Most other regions reported the opposite capabilities though she hadn’t communicated with any from Paldea yet, and remained somewhat ignorant beyond Galar and Johto’s stretches. At least, beyond literature she could get her hands on.
“Play with horsey too?! Horsey plays rough! Your other friend couldn’t play as rough, as horsey hurt other friend pretty badly!” ꓘorn pointed out with a wide grin as he greeted the strange looking fish. It was…spiky. It was spiky with a loud mouth and a large appetite, spouting off some minor threats towards the gigantic Galarian Ponyta. ꓘorn placed one of his sludge hands against his iridescent face and tilted half his body up and over in a n upside down U shape, where he stared at Veluzaur with the awkward vision of a flipped world. “Pokefood tastes much better than rough friend, I would think. Why eat strange friend when pokefood will do? Does your owner not make Pokefood to feed you?” ꓘorn asked curiously with a blink.
“ꓘorn, use your Assurance again!” Mishu called out, turning her attention back to the battle. Ponyta was breathing heavily, its head bucking up and down. There couldn’t be much of a leg in this fight for the wild beast, though it put up one stellar fight against the two scientists who conversed leisurely with each other. “The theory at least make rational sense for a hypothesis. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that further testing led to conclusive evidence, really. We’re still learning so much about these fantastical creatures known as Pokemon that share our world with us.” She nodded, thinking more about Squirtle’s sacs and how they somehow produced as much fluid from them as readily and easily. “Though, to be fair. Younger Pokemon aren’t as able to fill their sacs with as much water as older ones, which is why some can only do weakened versions of attacks without a lot of training.” She mused.
ꓘorn raised himself up into a large wall once more and prepared to slap the horse once more. This was a lot of fun! He could keep chasing Ponyta back and forth at the tips of its hooves, until it finally slowed in the pursuit and would hopefully give way to ꓘorn's attack. “Cats or dogs? The Category Cat Pokemon contains such species as Meowth and Persian, Purugly, and Litten and Torracat.” She’d never heard of something that was just A CAT. There were rumors of something similar long ago (Gen 1 anime and Pokedex entries are a gem) but lately, there seemed no proof of such things, and so few regarded it as true that even Mishu remained dubious at best.
Vartio’s promise that they needed not to test of Lucario relaxed Mishu considerably so. “That’s good.” Pokemon testing was a foul idea to her, though some scientists remained morally ambiguous and wouldn’t care. “Actually she was ‘this level’ when I evolved her. We were stranded out at sea on islands surrounded by whirlpools. She was battling a bunch of fishes around a waterfall with others. It was a wild ride. Lugia nearly tried to take everyone out, but we drove it back.” She laughed. Heart just never had a chance to properly stretch her wings since that day. Odd that this guy – who wasn’t there to know and was only mildly guessing based off whatever presence he thought he felt – assumed she must have been younger in her power field to have evolved. Oh well. Maybe this was early to him, still? “But absolutely, yes. Quite a few Pokemon evolve with items. Some Pokemon that were once thought to only evolve through trade, we’ve discovered other methods for their evolution, in fact.” She added with a simple shrug.

"No, Halestorm there's probably quite correct. There was an Organization, our 'Team Rocket', known as the Nexus Syndicate. Knowing a thing about them and their goals beyond their catchphrase was like grasping for straws, but that catchphrase - Uni Et Impera - implied a form of dissent to the rule of our Queen.
And yes, Halestorm. I am a 'fool'. I come from a land unlike yours, where you'd be unable to talk, Pokemon were not limited to four attacks, and we had no similar geographical landmarks that I could recognize within the world maps. So I naturally will conflate things in this world to what I'm familiar with. I am like a Newborn, with the intellectual capacity of an adult. I know nothing here, and it will be months to years before I can say I do know much of value. Do you expect that to bother me? Rather, it excites me."
He watched as Veluzaur successfully crushed the Ponyta, a smile on his face in the process. As it swum back it glanced at Korn.
"Y'talk too much. Less talky more bitey." it stated, spitting out part of the Galarian Ponyta's mane. It then swam over to Vartio, who gave it a headpat and then opened a container and dropped some fresh Fish meat he had gotten at the pier before leaving, Veluzaur gladly chomping it up.
"Yes, a younger pokemon is less likely to utilize a higher grade move. Although between Technical and Hidden Machines and breeding, even a level 1 Pokemon could put out a similar quantity of water. Maybe more overall with the right after-training. But then the difference comes out to the force and pressure of an attack augmented by their Special Attack Wavelength."
Vartio pulled out the crystal from before, glancing at it as he debated its use.
"In our world we had no 'trade' evolutions. Curious divergence. That said, I'll need to look into those. Anyhow, maybe I should rephrase it: Does your Honchkrow seem any bit weaker, in power or speed, than that day at the Whirlpools? Or perhaps stronger?"
As Vartio querried this, he lifted the same stone from before, letting it resonate. The portal would begin to change.
"So these do have some effect on the portals, and through them we can call pokemon through..."
Spending another P$1000 for another Wishing Chip.
Reminder I got a 9/10 (remaining before next encounter) Grass Raid/Water Encounter Sammich.

Mishu thought about the evil tyrants who ran amuck within the local cities and called themselves by such a name. It was easy to try and think of a gang like Team Rocket causing the same problems elsewhere, as gangs seemed to prop up in populous places as an almost natural course of society. Still, she had to hope that the local justice system would eventually prevail and eradicate the evil deeds of their organized crime syndicate. What would society look like if they lost hope in such things? “Nexus Syndicate…” She hummed, her golden eyes sparkling thoughtfully.
“So they wanted to divide the people and conquer the lands?” She asked curiously, not really sure what he meant, either. Halestorm sat down and nodded with a wide smile. He admitted her superiority, which made the little fox feel good. “Uni Et Impera? Is that like a foreign language or something?” She yipped with a scrunch of her nose. She didn’t like the sound of it, even though she had absolutely no idea what it meant. A gust of wind sent the water spraying over the shorelines, though it was still a bit too short to hit anyone. “Listen at Billy Bad Guys trying to seem all scary. Whatever, they don’t really scare me.” She huffed idly to herself. “I’ll bite their hands if they try to come near me.”
Mishu nodded quietly. Young Pokemon were very inexperienced, unless there was intervention in the form of breeding or training. Technical and Hidden Machines were one of the many unique and interesting ways that their human trainers often had direct interference with. “Exactly! Korn here knows Sludge Wave and Thunderbolt as Technical Machine moves and Assurance as an Egg Move. I’ve theorized who the father Pokemon species might have been to lend such a move.” She added with a smile. Korn stretched himself up like a wall and wavered over Veluzaur as though he might try to wrap the sharp fish up into a tight hug. Mishu quickly withdrew him back into his ball with a click of a button.
“She’s become immensely stronger in her new form and a little tougher too. However, her new form is denser and seems to slow her down compared to her old Murkrow form.” Mishu humored, thinking on her avian. Heart was quite the strong little blackbird to begin with. This evolution only boosted her further. It still seemed strange if he was trying to be dogmatic about and evolution he wasn’t around for, to be so persistent on the issue. She turned back to the wormhole expectantly, hoping to see what next creature might brace their way through this time. “It’s interesting the effects these crystals have.” She noted with a quick jot in her notebook.

"We don't really know WHAT Nexus' goal was. To say they kept secret is an understatement. What little we knew of were rare Videos over our National Internet with that phrase. Each time you'd hear about someone confirmed a Nexus Member being arrested, you'd find they were complete fodder with no idea what the goal was. They simply didn't like the government or something like that. It was like trying to touch a Ghost-type that didn't wish to be touched physically. You'd have a better chance feeling air.
As for that language... if I remember from my language studies due to my interest in history..." he wouldn't mention that interest in history was due to a love of Aura Guardians. "I think it means something like... Unite and Rule? Mayhaps it's an implication they do not approve the Government System and wanted something more akin to an Emperor than a Queen."
It was then the portal would solidify and a new Pokemon would come out, a giant cat-like figure.
"If that's not a Meowth Variant, I don't know what is. And I can only ask what the hell sort of diet or environment caused this."
Vartio would look over at Mishu, hoping for a summary.
"Long as it's not Grass, I think we can rely on the same strategy from me as before." Vartio stated, tossing the ball out and letting Heim back out.
"Aww from giant horse to giant cat!? That one actually will hurt and trim me down!" Heim shuffled back a few steps, Vartio walking forth and patting its head.
"Hey don't worry, we got this. Now, let's get this together and show them you can handle it." Vartio smiled, Heim nodding as it was good as new thanks.
"Same as before, Stun Spore!"

There wasn’t a lot that Mishu could comment on when it came to Nexus. They sounded barely different from their own Team Rocket, as far as she was concerned. Another evil organization bent on changing the world in the vision they saw fit – whether that was stealing everything for profit or releasing ungodly horrors upon the world at large. Memories of her time spent listening to tales of Team Magma and Team Aqua in a distant land known as…Hoenn, was it again.... flooded the back of her mind. “Large, powerful organization….keeping their underling mostly in the dark…”
The sigh was loud and audible. Clearly, the police had their hands full. Thankfully, Johto’s police would be more than capable of handling the wayward criminals. She had to reassure herself with this fact. “Did your region not have a reliable police force?” She asked Vartio curiously. It sounded as though he came from some almost post-apocalyptic time if you listened to just the scary bits involving their crime and their lands. It couldn’t all be bad news, though, right? Life was often much more complex than that, and painting everything in an ‘all or nothing’ usually lacked the true nuance that permeated throughout much of reality.
Mishu watched one of her local natives slowly crawling out of the portal once more and tilted her head. So first the Ponyta and now a Meowth? It was a curious phenomenon and caused Mishu to quietly wonder if perhaps the portal shared some similarities to the raid dens. Surely they had to, right? The coincidence seemed uncanny, even if Dynamaxed and Gigantamaxed Pokemon weren’t the creatures spotted regularly crawling out of their portals. “It’s a Galarian Meowth, from my home region. They traveled on boats with seafaring people to our lands a while back. It’s thought that travel on the rough seas aided their divergence from their normal evolutions, and has even turned parts of their body to iron.” She stated calmly.
So, they needed to think quickly about the type of Pokemon they chose to send out. Her ace in the hole for the event wasn’t along with her on her travels to the portal. Vulpes had two powerful moves she could have combined to maximize her power for the battle, though that mattered little when they were already locked in a battle with the beast. She hummed, flipping between the different balls on her side of the Pokemon she’d brought, and eventually pulled one of the small red-and-white domes off her side. “Ok Slipknot, come on out and show us your Fire Fang!” She shouted and watched with bated breath.
“They’re Steel type Meowth.” Mishu turned back to the conversation at hand and raised an eyebrow at Heim’s reappearance on the battlefield. She couldn’t fault the strange man too harshly. If his region was from another space and time altogether compared to their own, it might be natural that he still didn’t understand some or all of the Pokemon found in their world. “I also have a Houndoom but I didn’t bring Vulpes with me today…” Mishu griped underneath her voice with a groaned sigh. Hopefully, Slipknot’s fangs would be enough.
Slipknot growled as she appeared in the blink of an eye. She tucked her tail underneath her body and folded her ears against the sides of her head. “What’s going on here?” She asked, eyes widened with worry and concern. When Mishu directed the order and Slipknot’s eyes landed on the enlarged rugged cat before them, she yelped. “That is…one big kitty! I don’t suppose we have an extra large bag of catnip, huh?!” She whined, causing flames to wrap around her long canines. She would then rush at Galarian Meowth, hoping to bite down through its thick fur to wherever its delicate flesh might lay, to bury her fangs in.

"The police were hyper capable, but whenever it came to Nexus, they just weren't able to react in time. Never did figure out why. They even were at Djenganti Monastery rather quick following a rather annoying incident where a trainer got insane at me thinking I was hiding a relic to revive his wife... they had to have inside information on the Police's movements, somehow. Or some sort of way to prevent information about their movements reaching the police."
He let out a sigh and squeezed the bridge of his nose, thinking about that event. Djenganti isn't exactly the closest place to Cascadia, how did they arrive that quickly anyhow? And how did they ever manage to fail to capture Nexus so quickly? There were still answers to be had from his old world, things he took for granted now that he had a reason to think about them.
After that, he shifted his attention back at the established Galarian Meowth.
Galar again. Paldea and Galar, thus far. So the portals weren't pooling from Random, but were not either the Ultra Wormholes nor were they true Dynamax. What was going on here? Was it pulling from something Dynamaxed and the pull was draining some of their ability?
The Pokemon released this time by the woman was a Mightyena. Dark Type again. For now he'd need to work around that. The Meowth moved in but appeared to Trip as it approached Heim, having missed whatever attack it was going to use. Vartio could only guess based on a normal Meowth, but Fury Swipe seemed likely based on the base motions, but it could be Metal Claw based on the 'Iron' bodies.
This and a Growl preceeding Heim's Stun Spore failing to latch to the Meowth.
"If that paralyzed early it would have been a big advantage, sadly I'll need to pivot that backwards towards after we break the barrier."
Susan at this point squeaked as she finally finished her cracker, and let out a series of two squeaks that almost anyone could figure out the meaning of based on the pacing as a familiar sort of statement of appreciation, leaning forwards and pressing her paws into the shoulder of Vartio's haori and danging her legs off the back of his shoulder.
"For now, it looks like it will take a couple more good hits even with your Fire Fang. Heim, use Bind!"
["Sorryyyy... I can't do anything right!"] cried out the Tangela in Tangela speak, attempting to rip its vines through the ground and around the Meowth once more.

Emotions bubbled and swirled inside of the shaggy black dog’s head, causing him to panic. Eyes bugged out like screws that could unravel and pop out of his skull, only to litter the ground around his feet. Slipknot whined loudly, tail tucked firmly between his legs, and he scooted back towards his trainer with a loud yelp and shake of his head. “I don’t think I can handle something that size!” Slipknot admitted, the courage draining from his presences the moment he was called out onto the battlefield. “You better st-stay back if you know what’s good for you!”
The words were largely empty threats. Mishu watched her nervous pup struggle to find himself in the heat of the moment and absorbed the information her newfound partner shared with her. It was difficult to understand such a foreign land that operated so differently than her own. By focusing on the commonalities that Vartio shared between their lands, she pieces together the best understanding she would gather from his speech. “Some of our regions have experienced similar problems.” She commented nonchalantly, her smile wavering at the edge. “Whether it’s corporate greed or something else entirely, it seems as though sometimes officers have different motivations than one should expect from them.”
It was a harsh truth that Mishu was careful not to share with many. Dissent for the local police force was never a good thing and could lead to nasty revolts even if those that fought for better lacked the tools to replace what they currently had with a system that actually operated in their better interests. Rooting out the pieces that caused more harm to their system than good was a better way to handle the issue entirely. “Still, I can’t say that all of our police are like that. It’s strange though. It’s almost as if they pick and choose who they will arrest for what crimes.” She hummed thoughtfully.
The Galarian Meowth released a loud yowl, causing Slipknot’s blood to curl underneath his skin. Large grey ears pinned themselves against the side of the canid creature’s thick skull. Fear raged like a trapped animal pinned against the wall and burned through his sharp maroon eyes. “I warned you buster!” Flames spouted from the tip of Slipknot’s tongue and wrapped around his long, sharp canines as he prepared to leap once more at the large beast. Meowth swung his claws for a brief moment, then stumbled along his pathway towards them and tumbled on the ground in an instance. “That’s what you get for trying to hurt us! I bite and I bite HARD! You haven’t had enough?!” He sputtered nervously, whimpering as the fear churned into a darker, and quite deadlier emotion.
“Hey hey, don’t doubt yourself little friend.” Mightyena howled, turning to his companion with a nervous smile. It was forced and did not at all belong on the face that the canid Pokémon tried to force it upon. It carried with it the same energy of a small child being dumped at preschool for the first day, with their parents speeding down the highway after chastising them for crying and insisting they put on a brave face. Bravery did not live at this address. “M…maybe try again?” Slipknot barked before racing after his opponent with fire-soaked fangs, hoping to take a chunk out of the large Meowth’s arms as he leaped into the air.
“It’s unfortunate that Stun Spore failed.” Mishu mused with a soft nod. Though paralysis was never guaranteed, it came with it the added benefit of slowing the adversary down by considerable leagues. Her partner chose to deviate from the plan after the first failed attempt, though, in an effort to waste no more ground on their enlarged opponent. “Hopefully, your Tangela’s Bind will take a firm hold on this Meowth. It’s amazing how well it withstands Slipknot’s fangs.” She mused with quiet interest. Steel types were generally weakened by fire. This one took their first wave of attacks in stride.

"Whatever the reason behind the cops being slow, it's hard to confirm if it was by malice by them or design by other parties. Regardless, I have a plan. Considering Fire Fang is not that powerful a move, perhaps utilizing a higher accuracy move would be better here. Fire Fang risks accuracy issues and we are clearly being pressured. It should be close to feeling pressured to raise a barrier, so we're going to plot around that.
If you trust me, let's enact it.
Heim, use Absorb!"
Heim looked at Vartio surprised but swung its body forwards like a nod before closing its eyes and thrashing the vines under the ground once more to try to latch onto the enemy Meowth.

Mishu sighed. The battle wasn’t in their favor, given that her hopes of landing the status effect did not turn up in her favor. It was a small chance, entirely too small to bet on. This feline remained a fierce opponent, easily slashing through them without much effort. “I do have one move that’s a little stronger and leans into Slipknot’s typing.” It wouldn’t do any bit of good for them on the added effects, considering their adversary remained faster of the three Pokémon in the fight.
“Slipknot, Crunch your opponent with your powerful jaws!” Mishu cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly. He was barely hanging in there. The battered and beaten body remained a testament of the trials Slipknot already faced against their gigantic foe. She had to keep hope burning fierce that they would see their way through this battle victoriously. She had to keep believing in her Pokémon and what they were truly capable of.
“Fire Fang is a useful move, though our opponent isn’t the right sport for it.” Mishu combated the response as easily, whilst Slipknot snarled menacingly, pinning his ears to the side of his head. Power wasn’t something they measured on a perfectly quantifiable scale (anime logic per bulba xD), though many were working on it with some machines that seemed to have the math figured with relative ease. She remained intrigued how much of this technology was already at Vartio’s fingertips in his home world.
Slipknot rushed after his opponent snarling viciously, his fangs agape in hopes of sinking into Galarian Meowth’s dense hide. It was an awfully large cat and scared the Dark Type canine, causing his fur to bristle along his spine. He didn’t trust himself nor the beast, but he did place all of his bets in his trainer. She protected him and took care of him no matter what, so he was sure if it became too much for him, she would step in and protect him before things turned gruesome. “Why don’t you go run up a tree?!” Slipknot howled loudly.
