Chapter 15: Diamonds Never Get Old!
Baal's eyes flashed with a predatory light as the Carracostas started diving into the water, After an hour, only the weakest carracosta was left to protect them. It looked very old and didn't seem to be above level 35...
His eyes then turned completely white as a data sheet formed in front of him,
Carracosta
Level: 33
Moveset:
-Iron Defense
-Curse
-Water Gun
-Withdraw
-Ancient Power
Baal's face tensed, "Where the fuck is their abilities and Move mastery?!"
[The User has to use the ability more for it to grow, there are three more stages to the Eye of Truth ability after the current stage.]
He shook himself out of it, "Fuck okay, it's now or never! I can take him! If he hits me with a water type move, I'll just get stronger and if I can kill all the tirtougas before him then Moxie will activate. This is a battle of stat-boosting and I've got this!"
Baal picked out the two closes Tirtougas and charged Plasma fists through both of his hands, he wanted to get them at the same time as they seemed too complacent.
*Swish*
*Slam!*
Two electrified fists punched through the heads of two tirtougas as their grey matter scattered all over the ground. Baal felt two wisps of energy increasing his strength before he started rushing at another cluster of Tirtougas.
The Carracosta looked over at the two dead tirtougas before it loosed a cry into the sky. Baal needed to do this fast just in case the other Carracostas returned.
A greyish light formed around the Carracosta followed by a purple light as Baal reached the other group of Tirtougas.
*Splash*
Another two dead Tirtouga bodies were splayed across the ground as another rush of energy filled Baal. Soon enough, the Carracosta started rushing at Baal yet he charged up and released a dragon breath at the rest of the tirtougas and the smell of charred turtle could be smelt around the little community. Finally, A large rush of energy further boosted Baal's physical ability. With this, he felt confident at going up against the Carracosta.
Before he could turn around, Baal felt a blast of water crash into his back, he grinned as he got thrown from his feet. Some of the energy used in the water gun from the carracosta got transferred into Baal's body as he felt his body increase in toughness.
He quickly bounced back up off the ground and saw the Carracosta charging another Water gun so purple-blue energy started forming between Baal's wide maw,
*Blast*
Two energies collided between them, a Dragon Breath and a Water Gun!
They seemed to cancel each other out so Baal began rushing towards the Carracosta with Plasma fists activated. The Carracosta was too slow and so couldn't dodge it which left two deep dents on its shell. Baal kicked off its shell as he bounced away, A Carracosta's Flippers can produce enough force to puncture through an Omastar's shell and its jaws could bite through steel...If he's going to go in for a physical move, He needs to properly target a part of Carracosta's body.
'Fuck, this is going take a while if I can't snap its neck quicker,' Baal thought. as he began charging blue energy on his jaws. He quickly dodged from side to side as he began advancing towards the Armoured Turtle again. The turtle cried out again as purple energy covered it again seemingly increasing its defence,
'This fucker is trying to stall until his family returns,' Baal thought. Baal pounced towards it and before he could get a grip on its throat, The turtle brought its flippers up in front of its face. Baal took advantage of this to remove one of its deadly flippers.
'Fishious Rend!'
His jaws clamped down so tightly that blood immediately spurted out of its flipper. It grunted slightly and then screamed as he tore its arm-flipper off and threw it away.
"That's one less liability to worry about" Baal Growled and he started charging thunder fang.
However, before he could fully complete it, he felt a large weight hit him from behind. He got thrown towards the Carracosta as it reeled its last flipper in before slapping Raiden in the side.
*Crack*
Baal felt the force of what this carracosta could output causing a couple of broken ribs. Baal Grunted as he got up off the floor again, this time making sure he had enough spacial awareness to not be caught off guard yet a question still formed inside his mind,
'How did it activate a move without flaring its aura?'
He then re-focused on charging another Thunder fang. This time being successful, he glared at the bleeding Carracosta as he aimed at its throat. Quickly advancing towards it he pounced again, Carracosta aimed to slap its final flipper inwards at his ribs again but he was prepared for this as he twisted his body to be able to use his legs to bounce off the large surface area of the flipper.
Baal's legs connected to the flipper and he felt a small amount of pain as he used the force behind the slap to bounce off it, twisting again, his thunder fang bit into its neck as Baal went flying with a giant turtle in his jaws.
*Crash*
*Crack*
The two bodies of predator and prey engraved themselves into a tree at the edge of this beach-like clearing. The light from the Carracosta's eyes faded as blood and brain plasma started dripping out of the deep, fang-like punctures in its neck.
Baal pushed the dead body off of him as he checked his entire system again,

Before long, he began drawing the image of his Rip-Off Tattoo and adjusted it slightly to a pokemon setting and with his new knowledge he soulbinded it,
[Rip-Off Tattoos: The left-hand Tattoo allows the user to convert dead organic matter to chakra. The right-hand Tattoo allows passive absorption of PP up to the user's limit, not the system's limit. Effectively, It rips the Organism of everything that it is/was.]
[Do you wish to exchange 2,670 PP for Item: Rip-Off Tatto?]
"Confirm"
In a moment, two black, inky diamonds formed on the palms of his claws. He stretched one of his claws out at the dead Carracosta before its body began funnelling into the diamond.
[User gained 1,200 PP]
Baal grinned, this feeling would never get old.
Soon though, he heard the sound of rushing water moving towards this ex-community of Tirtouga.
He turned around and saw that in the distance, the remaining Carracostas were rapidly moving towards him with furious expressions on their face as they saw the dead bodies littering the beach.
Baal hastily stretched his arm out again and the remaining dead Tirtougas all disappeared, not even a speck of blood was left.
Before they could reach the beach, however, Baal opened the sketch page again and this time, he made a change to his own physical body...
*Ting*
Out of his back, a pair of dark brown, leathery, dragon-like wings began to grow. If you looked at the wings from the bottom, however, They were blue... The same countershading as his body.
The Carracosta's started running at him now that they had reached the beach, Baal unfurled his wings and roared before taking off.
The Carracostas all stopped as they began firing off beams of differing types at him, Baal contorted and swirled around all of the beams - not being hit by a single of these, he escaped into the forest!
...
I swiftly folded my wings in as soon as I reached an empty part of the forest as nothing seemed to pop up in my 1km radar. I saw how calm this forest was, laid down on a branch and with a simple exhale, I fell asleep.
...
Unbeknown to Baal, not far away, a small, green, human-like figure sat perched on a tree giggling slightly. Its legs dangled in the air as its adorable laughter rang around the entire forest at how amusing it found this little charmeleon to be. The small, onion-like pixie wondered if this one could maybe even slightly understand it. However, the answer to that question is for another day, for now, the fairy propelled itself off the branch and fluttered away leaving a trail of pixie dust behind it.
