NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: Goals for the Future
Dante decided to experiment more on this with Pikachu after he gets a Light Ball. While the Light Ball has little use for the general Trainers, its rarity increased its price to above a million Alliance credits
Now, Dante needs to focus more on the basic things he needs as a new Pokemon Trainer.
The second thing a Trainer should focus on after getting their starter Pokemon is having enough food and nutrition.
With the access to the resources of another world, Dante doesn't need to worry about this.
The third, which Dante does lack, is connections.
As new Pokemon Trainers, there will not be many achievements to prove your strength. In order to get into a good Pokemon University, the result of the written and practical exam is only the prerequisite to get considered.
Unless the potential of the starter is really good, or the trainer shows a superb commanding ability of the Pokemon in the practical exam, the connections you have is a deciding factor for entry into top Universities.
Dante isn't sure whether the Poketubers are exaggerating about needing connections, but after thinking for a while, he realized that it doesn't really matter.
The only reason he will even attend the university now is to reassure his parents. With his access to the PMD world, he doesn't need anything that the universities will offer.
Hell, he could even take the route of a wild Trainer, venturing into the wilderness to train and challenge the Pokemon Gyms around the country like Ash. The only resource he really lacks is time. And money to buy a Light Ball, but he'll save up for that eventually.
With a clearer view about his own future potential as a trainer, Dante found himself in a good mood.
'That's right, in the PMD world lies the path I need to focus on in order to become the best Pokemon Trainer. Instead of focusing my vision on this world, what I have to do is think about my preparations for going into that world.'
Dante opened the menu. In the team option, he found his name along with his stats. Looking at his Abilities, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
'That reminds me, I brought back the ability to talk to Pokemons from that world. Although the moves are grayed out and cannot be used, maybe I can use the energy and Abilities here?'
With that in mind, Dante closed his eyes and tried to feel the energy within his body. After an unknown amount of time, he felt something similar to what he was controlling in the PMD world.
However, he wasn't able to control it. He can feel the energy and how it flows throughout his body. But no matter how he wills it, he wasn't able to change the flow of the energy unlike when he was a Zorua.
When he was a Zorua, controlling the energy that was flowing throughout his body only felt a little jerky the first time he tried it. But even then, he can control how the energy flows as long as he can perceive it.
This time however, even though he can feel it, he had no way of controlling it.
(Don't worry guys, there will be no cultivation in this story. He will just do this to control the energy, there will be no such thing as moving the energy through various holes in the body to make it stronger.)
"Dan, come down! Lunch is ready!"
Dante was awakened from his 'meditation' by his mother's shout. Looking at the time, it was already past 12.
Dante stretched his body that became a little stiff from sitting in the same position for over an hour. After eating lunch, Dante went back to his room in order to try controlling the energy in his body again.
In the end, except for being able to feel the energy more clearly, it still had no signs of following Dante's will. He temporarily gave up. Dante can only try and go to the Pokenet and search for information regarding Pokemon and Energy.
Most of the results are how Pokemon can release Elemental Energy. For those that can help Dante, it only stated how Pokemons can instinctively control the energy within their body even after just being born.
'Maybe humans just don't have the necessary organs needed to be able to control that energy?'
Comforting himself in his heart, Dante thought about what he is able to do while he is waiting for the entry to the PMD world to refresh.
Being unable to control the energy in his body, Dante also wasn't able to experiment with using Zorua's Illusion ability.
In the end, the conclusion he reached was that he can only enrich his Pokemon Battling knowledge.
In addition to having more experience for battling other Pokemons in the dungeon, it will also help in future Trainer battles.
Dante's main focus is to memorize the moves that a Pokemon can learn, as well as their Abilities. He can also watch various tiers of Pokemon battles, from battles between rookies, to students in the University League, and the World Masters Battle.
Dante set a schedule in his phone, to remind him that he will set 2 hours of his time every afternoon for this. Nodding in satisfaction, he was just about to put away the phone when a message popped up.
*Ding* You have a new message
Carl: Yo, lets play League *Praying emoji**Pleading Face emoji*
Dante thought for a second before replying.
Dante: Let's gooo
Carl: Yooo, niceee
Carl: You passed the exam? *Smiling emoji*
Dante: Yup, just got the id yesterday
Carl: Congrats bro!!! *Fireworks emoji**Partying Face emoji*
Carl: So, when's the celebration? *Smiling face with horns emoji*
Carl: You have to treat us bro *Smiling face with horns emoji*
Dante smiled and just ignored Carl's message. He opened the computer and entered the League of Pokemons. Looking at the side, he saw Carl's avatar already in a party with their 2 other friends.
Carl also saw him and invited him to the party. After waiting for their final friend, they started the game and played for the whole afternoon.
