Unlocking My Binds.

I wake up to the inside of my Pokeball and as I look to the outside world I see that I'm currently inside of Amelia's hotel room. 'How long was I sleep for?'

Popping outside of my Pokeball I Amelia on her bed asleep. Looking over to the foot of the bed there is both of the remaining eggs in separate incubators. Moving carefully and hopping onto a chair I see a digital clock showing the time of 11:52 PM.

Trying and failing to whistle in surprise, I make my way past the bed and towards the short window.

'Finally Its time to get some real training in! Amelia has the right idea but she's kinda holding me back, plus I've got to figure out the difference between the illusion I used today and the illusion I first learned through trial and error.'

Using my ghostly steps I head over to Amelia's backpack and grab out the Ghost Gem and two Pokedoll's of a Elekid and a Eevee I was using earlier today. 'I'm learning new things about my body every day like I don't make noise when I walk, is it like an owl situation where its physical or something mytical to deal with my typing or something.'

Focusing back to the task at hand I take the items and move back to the window and using my dark shroud I lift and unlock the window with minimal noise. 'Well one things for sure my shroud is definitely more physical than the illusion I made.'

Using my shroud as an extra limb or hand I lift myself up and onto the window sill. Looking down there aren't many things to climb down but I make my way using my shrouds or shadows as platform's to jump onto as I carefully make my way down.

As I land on the ground I send back up a shroud which closes the window behind me. 'OK! Sneaking out accomplished! Now I'll go to the forest and figure out how the hell my ability really works and maybe I'll disturb the peace a little.'

Heading off in a similar direction to the one Amelia did earlier I start to run and after around 30 minutes I find a different and smaller clearing than the one I used previously. 'This'll get the job done.'

Putting down the gem and both of the Pokedoll's I start to use some of the energy from the gem while looking at the Elekid Pokedoll.

After a couple of seconds of building up energy a similar but distinctly different shroud of ghost type energy forms and without me willing it to go anywhere it washes over me. '..That's different.. My body feels dull. Like I can only feel half of what should be there.'

Looking down I see that my body has changed with me gaining 2 arms both yellow with black accents. Getting up on 2 legs feels unnatural but employing the strategy of one foot in front of another I getting in the hang of walking quickly enough.

'Well this is weird but I'm used to it now I guess. Firstly my original body is still there but the gaps between the Elekid's body and mine have been made up using various energies with them mostly being dark and ghost type. It almost feels like a shell or an armor where you can feel the impact but not anything to detailed. I feel the grass under my feet but I can't tell if its wet kind of feel.'

'Another thing is my difference in distribution Elekid is extremely top heavy and not only that the differences between our anatomy is huge but I can't feel any of it. Whatever allows Elekid to absorb electricty like it does isn't present like the outside is Elekid but the inside is Zorua... Well that's interesting but now I've got to try my other method.'

After 10 minutes of walking around and thinking I drop and end my illusion with the energy disipating and not allowing for it's reuse showing a Hisuian Zorua.

'Hmm the energy was weird. That isn't the best way to describe it but it was off almost like it lost the effect the made it so mystical and it was heavy in a way falling off me but still disipating in the wind or evaporating on its own.'

Starting the next step I focus and bring out my dark shroud and with it comes similarities between the shroud I used for illusion. 'I should really come up with a better name for this shouldn't I?'

'The illusion shroud was lighter and instincual and while it took way more energy it was easier to use but it was specialized like it only had one purpose. While the shroud I first learned is deeper and less taxing with it being way more flexible with me changing its form and while its harder to use its almost familar in a way like something I've always had but never focused on. It feels like a body part you can train to control like a human ear or an arm or leg that you learn to use as you get older while the illusion shroud is almost like a tool to fulfill one purpose and that has little to no learning curve. Both of these analogies don't make the most sense but they fit one feels like a forgotten ability to be trained and honed while the other feels like a cheat or tool used for one purpose.'

Moving along I start to change the shroud as I mold it into shape making it into an Eevee and filling it with Normal type energy and I allow it to layer over myself as I feel myself change there is a clear difference.

'This is livid.. I can feel my limbs like they've always been this way. I can feel the wind on my fur and the light wetness and softness of the ground as I stand and everything is instincual. I feel like an Eevee I'm not just in a shell I've damn near hopped bodies!'

In my excitement I walk and run around and even with the changed anatomy and body I walk and run like normal as I feel everything is changed down to my DNA. 'How is this possible? I feel so free.. Like I change myself no matter what and no matter what I change into it will still be me..'

'This sense of bliss.. I never want to forget it!'
