Chapter 13: A Normal Day
Ancient Retreat...
There aren't many things that I can do here besides meeting that woman which I won't be doing.
After all, there is no benefit in it except if I ever need to know some lost histories or something.
And yes, I'm talking about Cogita who I still believe to be Cynthia's ancestor since the similarities between them are just too uncanny to deny.
"Hmm... this seems like a good spot"
I looked around, seeing a patch of untouched grass and trees surrounding the area which brought a sense of protection.
"Okay, let's camp out here for today"
- Shing~
With a thought in my mind, the system bag showed up as I pressed the [Tent Bag] and [Survival Kit] which shortly appeared in my hands.
"Hm"
I am so glad and thankful that I have this [Bag] function cause I'm not even sure if these things would fit in my satchel at all.
Now then...
I emptied the Tent Bag and Survival kit as I brought them out, assembling them down on the patch of grass with my Doublade helping me out on my side.
It took a while to set everything up until it was finally done as I soon grabbed multiple pokéballs and threw them out in the air.
"Come out, everyone!"
I watched as multiple beams of light came out of my pokéballs as familiar Pokemons appeared all over the camp...
And my Hisuian Voltorb and Qwilfish were the first to come out as they immediately ran up towards me which I happily greeted and patted them.

My Voltorb is surprisingly decent... I think.
His moves are also fun to use except for that Sef-Destruct move, that thing is nuts and terrifying.
I do not want to be on the butt end of that move at all.
Just picture a situation where Voltorb turned Dynamax and used the move, Self-Destruct.
"Sheesh"
I can't even begin to imagine how big of an explosion it would cause...
Of course, my Voltorb is still relatively weak and hasn't evolved yet which means the destructiveness and explosion aren't that big of a problem as of now.
Welp, enough about that...

"Coolio..."
However, I did feel dumbfounded after seeing my Qwilfish having the Self-Destruct move in his pool.
Wait...
Is this why, my Qwilfish and Voltorb managed to perform a synergy attack because of their bonds between their love of self-destruction?
"..."
Nah... no way...
I mean, why would they even bond over such a move like this?
It literally makes them faint unless they're the type that loves being hurt...
"..."
Thinking of this, I quietly glance over at my two Pokemon as they seem to be having a conversation with happy smiles on their faces.
And seeing them like this, my worries immediately disappeared as I shook my head and let out a chuckle.
I must be overthinking things again...
"Anyways..."
I looked over to see my other Pokemon appear, looking calm and collected while some had vigilance and cautiousness on their faces.
Naturally, it was the newly captured Hisuian Sneasels that was acting that way as I could even see them raising their guards the moment they saw me.
Well, it was to be expected since I did rekt their faces a while ago.
I guess, it will take some time before I can get their trust, huh...
"Hmm..."
Enough worrying about it, this is something my future self will have to deal with and not the present me.
Yes...
I have more important things to do such as feeding my Pokemon as they look like they are already starving.
"Here you go"
I took out a few berries and snacks, giving them to every one of my Pokemon except my Doublade since he doesn't eat at all.
And speaking about Doublade...
I am digging his new look, especially the change of color from the original blue to red.
The color just fits so well with his appearance and I love it.
"Come here for a bit, buddy"
- Shing
I could see my Doublade's confused face as he floated over to me before I patted its handle with a smile.

"Damn, I'm loving it..."
Just looking at my Doublade's stat is making me drool, If only his special attack and special defense were above a hundred then he really be looking super nice right now.
A pity, indeed...
- Shing?
Seeing my Doublade looking confused, a chuckle slipped out of my mouth when a sudden thought popped up in my head.
I wonder...
Is it possible to wield him and use myself to battle a Pokemon instead?
"Hmm..."
I remember seeing a post in Yeddit somewhere that says that a Honedge or any of his evolved forms would suck out the life force of anyone who tries to hold or wield it.
But my Doublade wouldn't do that, right?
I mean, he is my partner and vice versa...
I'm sure my Doublade would be kind enough to let me wield him at least.
"Hey, buddy..."
- Shing?
"Can I hold you?"
The two of us stared at each other for a full minute before Doublade suddenly tilted its entire body with his handles facing me.
And I knew immediately that he accepted my request as I slowly put my two hands over his two handles and gripped them tightly.
"This feels weird..."
For some reason, knowing the fact that I was holding two living swords in my hands just made me uncomfortable but at the same time amazed at the situation.
It's as if knowing your gun suddenly started talking in the middle of a fight.
I mean, wouldn't you feel weirded out about it?
Well, I would but that doesn't mean I'll stop...
"Do you feel fine, buddy?"
- Shing~
"Okay..."
It seems I was the only one who was uncomfortable in the first place, huh...
Anyway, the good thing is that my Doublade hasn't sucked the life out of me... yet.
So, I'll use the time that I have left to play around.
"Scyther One, have a spar with me"
- Scyther...??
