4 Wang Shòu, King of Beast

Of course, I don't mean to create a brand new Pokemon move. It's impossible for even a genius; that kind of stuff is something probably only Ash can do.

What I meant is to combine my moves to create an inferior version that is similar but weaker than some of the powerful Pokemon moves.

But emm... what powerful Pokemon moves does Pikachu know?

Thunder? Nope, that would be the same as Thunderbolt, which I can't use.

Iron Tail? Anything less than that won't be very effective.

Hmm, then what can I use? Oh wait, I just remembered!

Volt Tackle, the signature move of Pikachu!

Yeah, that will definitely work!

The principle of Volt Tackle is to electrify yourself, surrounding yourself with powerful electricity, and then charge at the enemy, dealing powerful damage! Though it does deal considerable recoil damage back to the user.

Looking at the enraged Datura Snake, which is madly flailing around, I begin to formulate a plan in my mind.

I have Quick Attack, which can serve as a template for Volt Tackle. But what else can I use?

...This might be dangerous, but I have no choice... I will have to use Thunder Shock.

I need to control Thunder Shock, to direct its electricity towards me, with me containing it. Then I will use Quick Attack, and once I'm about to hit Datura Snake, I will release Thunder Shock to achieve similar but weaker effects as Volt Tackle.

'Since it is an inferior version of Volt Tackle, let's call it Spark Tackle.'

Mentally preparing myself, reviewing my plan if I made any mistake, I immediately start.

'Thunder Shock!'

Then a small amount of lightning bursts forth from my body. Sensing that I can control it to some extent, I try directing it right at me.

Lightning that was originally heading towards Datura Snake begins to turn around and head toward myself.

'Gah! Even though I'm an Electric-type, this still hurts a lot...'

Wincing at the pain I felt when the lightning hit me, I immediately contain the electricity inside my body.

'Go! Go! I can't do this much longer!'

Feeling the massive amount of pain inside me, I quickly run forth with mighty speed, with a small electric trail behind me.

"Pika! Pika!" (Hey, ugly snake! Come here, so I can beat your arrogant ass!)

I loudly shout, attracting the attention of the enraged Datura Snake. Hissing as it recognizes me and feeling a dull pain in its stomach, a fire of hatred bursts in its eye, and it coils up horizontally, preparing to attack.

"Hissss!!"

It hisses with hatred loudly and then lunges forward, ready to end my life once and for all!

'NOW! Quick Attack!'

At this critical time, I suddenly disappear right before its mouth and reappear at the stomach of Datura Snake.

Then I release the electricity contained in my body and tore right through the body of Datura Snake, ending its life!

"Pikaaa!" (Dieeee, you bastard!)

[Congratulations, you level up! You are now currently level 6!]

[Congratulations, you level up! You are now currently level 7!]

[Congratulations, you level up! You are now currently level 8!]

[Congratulations, you level up! You are now currently level 9!]

'Not now... I'm tired....'

Hearing the annoying beeping sound, and the adrenaline fading, I tiredly say.

[Okay, my apologies. But I do recommend you move away quickly. The blood of the corpse will attract dangerous spirit beasts.]

Looking at the bloody corpse of Datura Snake, which is split into two pieces, I agree.

'Yeah...that would be best....'

I slightly crouch down and hide myself among the tall grasses, sneaking away.

After some time, I can hear growls and cries of the spirit beasts near the location where the corpse of Datura Snake was.

Thankfully, my system reminded me or I might be dead too.

After walking for some time, I noticed a small hole beneath a nearby tree.

Crawling through it, I get myself in a comfortable position before finally remembering the system notification that I leveled up.

'Status Window'

Inwardly saying that, I look at the blue updated profile that shows up.

[Name: ???]

[Race: Pikachu]

[Level: 9 (90 Years Old)]

[Self-Created Move: Spark Tackle]

Hmm, it seems my profile is a bit more luxurious. It says that I'm level 9, comparable to a 90-year-old spirit beast. But I don't feel much, maybe because I'm in a weak state right now?

And the profile also adds a new section called Self-Created Move too. Seeing that creating a new move is a huge success, maybe I should focus on that in the future.

Anyway, I'm mentally and physically tired... I should go to sleep, but just in case...

'Hey, system? Can you sense or scan the area to see if there are any nearby spirit beasts?'

[Yes, I can indeed do that. I can scan 50 meters around you and will alert you if there are any living creatures coming your way.]

I see... that's good. Now I can finally sleep...

Closing my eyes, about to fall asleep, the system suddenly speaks to me.

[Apologies, but I will need you to update your name.]

Opening my eyes again, I raise my neck in annoyance; 'Why would I need to do that? Can't I just do that later? I'm tired and need to go to sleep.'

[I do apologize for that, but it is necessary. I didn't say anything about it before since you might be in danger, but now you are in a safe refuge, I will need you to do it.]

'....Tell me one good reason why I should do it now...'

[To integrate into this world. The World Will of Douluo Dalu doesn't look kindly at outsiders. So even if I conceal you, if you don't have a Chinese name, it will be easy for the World Will to notice you.]

'Fine, fine. I understand the reason. But I don't understand Chinese at all, and more so, when it comes to naming. Can't you choose a name for me?'

[If that is what you wish. I recommend you take the name of Wang Shòu. Are you satisfied with that?]

'I like it. It sounds pretty simple and easy to pronounce. Set it as my name.'

[Updating...Ding! Your name will be officially Wang Shòu.]

'Good, now just let me go to sleep.'

Turning to the right side, I close my drooping eyelids, and quickly fall asleep. But as I fall asleep, I didn't hear the system who softly spoke.

[Wang Shòu...I sincerely hope that you will grow up to become like what your name symbolizes...the King of Beasts and realize your wish...]
