Chapter 5 - EEVEE'S NEW MOVE! & ENTER KASUMI!

"Oh Wait! I forgot the Training Quest Rewards! System, Open it up for me."

*whooosh!

[Training Quest Reward: 1x month supply of pokemon food, Eevee's affection raised by 20, Eevee's experience was raised by 25%, Soothe Bell, New move for Eevee (trainer's choice) (note: A list will be shown to host and can be taught to the Pokemon), System Upgrade, Rare Candy 5x and Spinarak Tickets 10x]

"Yeah, So Eevee gained some experience and the affection system stated that Eevee's affection is now at 20. Is it helpful or something?"

[Yes it is helpful especially when battling, making you and your Pokemon understand each other. Plus, some Pokemon need a certain amount of friendship/affection to make them evolve.]

Haru nodded with some understanding and said, "I remember that in my past life, though not the past, past life but just the previous life, that some Ability - users evolve their skills and talent when they also have max friendship to something." He then grabbed the Soothe Bell in front of the status and said, "I saw them wearing something like this. Is this Soothe Bell important in affection leveling or something?"

[Certainly! It raises the speed of affection by 50%! This Soothe Bell is upgradeable unlike your good old Soothe Bell. This Soothe Bell can raise the speed of affection by 1000% when it is at max level.]

"Cool! I'll let Eevee hold it for now." Haru happily said and looked more at the rewards. " This..... A month of Pokemon food supply, I think it's okay, less money needed to buy."

Haru looked at the Pokemon food reward with a strange expression though he shrugged it off after that and looked at the least reward in front of him with an excited expression and shouted loudly, "A new move! System! Show me the options!"

[Certainly my host!]

[ There are currently 5 available Move sets to choose from:

Covet - is a damage-dealing Normal-type move. Covet inflicts damage and steals the target's held item if it is holding any. If the target is not holding an item or the user is already holding an item, Covet cannot steal an item.

Helping Hand - is a non-damaging Normal-type move. Helping Hand now targets an adjacent ally, and will raise its move's power by 50% this turn. Helping Hand will fail in a Single Battle. It will fail if there is no adjacent ally, or if the ally has already acted this turn. If Helping Hand is used multiple times in a turn, all targeting the same Pokémon, the boosts are cumulative. The move power will increase by 125% if there are two Helping Hands, or 237.5% if there are three.

Tail Whip - is a non-damaging Normal-type move. Same with the move Leer, It also decreases the Defense stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage. Can normally be used up to 6 times.

Baby-Doll Eyes - is a non-damaging Fairy-type move. Baby-Doll Eyes lowers the target's Attack stat by one stage. Unlike the move Charm that lowers attack by two stages and the move growl hits both opponents, The move Baby-Doll Eyes has a priority of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.

Swift - is a damage-dealing Normal-type move. Swift inflicts damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, meaning that it cannot miss. It can hit a Pokémon even during the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as the move Dig or those who use moves with turns. Swift hits opposing adjacent Pokémon in battles featuring multiple Pokémon. ]

"So Many Choices! 5 moves to pick. Only 2 are damage dealing moves while the others are moves that lower a specific stat." While He is thinking hard, Haru sees Eevee waking up from its long sleep.

"Oh! Eevee! You woke up!"

'Eve! Vee!'

"Oh right Eevee, what moves do you like? Those that inflict damage or those that lower stats of your opponent?"

'Eve-Vee?' Eevee looks at Haru with a look of confusion.

"You want an attack that never misses, an attack that steals items of your opponent or those that weakens your opponent?" Haru tried to talk to Eevee and simplified what he said earlier.

[Oh please, your Eevee can't understand what you ju-]

While the system tried to mock Haru, Eevee suddenly shouted cutely while doing an attack. A glow suddenly appears around Eevee, creating star-shaped rays and shot towards the room and before it explodes, the star-shaped rays gets smaller then vanish before it hits the roof.

[Ding! Eevee would like to learn Swift but can't learn more than four moves. Which move should be forgotten?

Tackle - is a damage-dealing Normal-type move. Tackle deals damage and has no secondary effect.

Sand Attack - is a non-damaging Ground-type move. Sand Attack decreases the target's accuracy stat by one stage.

Quick Attack - is a damage-dealing Normal-type move. Quick Attack inflicts damage. It has a priority of +1, so it is used before all moves that do not have increased priority. An attack that always strikes first. If both Pokémon use this, the one with higher Speed attacks first.

Growl - is a non-damaging Normal-type move. Growl decreases the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage. It does not affect Pokémon with the Abilities Soundproof, Hyper Cutter, Clear Body, White Smoke, or Full Metal Body. The user growls in an endearing way, making opposing Pokémon less wary. This lowers their Attack stat. ]

"I'll remove the Growl!" Haru decided with no reservations.

[Removing Growl....1...2...3.....Poof! The Growl has been forgotten and... Eevee learns Swift!

System updating Eevee's profile.... Updating done!

"WOAH!! Thanks System!!" Haru exclaimed and shouted excitedly.

While Haru is having fun and shouting loudly in his room, someone just outside the room shouted angrily, "Hey Little Kid, Stop with your shouting, it makes my ear feel that it'll be destroyed."

When Haru heard that voice, He immediately stopped and hastily opened the door and shouted at the person outside the door, "Hey you Doofus! Stop calling me little kid! I'mma fight you!"

"Heh, just like a little kid. And for your information, I'm not a doofus!" the person said while puffing her cheeks, making her kinda cute while being angry.

"Stop fighting you too. Haru don't fight Kasumi, And you Kasumi, don't shout at Haru." Two women, Helen and Kurumi, went up the stairs and looked at the two kids. "Go down with us now, it's dinner time."

"Yes, Mom!" both Haru and Kurumi said while looking - I mean, glaring at each other.

When the two women saw that, they just sigh and shake their heads while laughing softly.

At the dinner table, the two families are talking with peace and harmony while eating their dinner. Haru and Kasumi as usual, are still arguing some things.

Kevin, Haru's Father, looked at the two and said, "Okay enough with your little fights. Haru, The four of us decided to give Kasumi the chance to get the Pokemon from Professor Rowan when he visits here tomorrow."

"What?!?!" both Haru and Kasumi shouted.

"I thought you agreed with us earlier this morning?" Helen said to his son.

"N-No, I'm just surprised that Professor Rowan will come here tomorrow." Haru surprisingly said while looking at his parents.

After that, He looked into the eyes of Kasumi and teasingly said, "Heh, you said that you'll battle me when I get a Pokemon, right?"

"Y-Yeah, I-I'll battle you. No worries, I might win you know." Kasumi stutteringly said while moving her head away from looking at Haru.

"Okay Kasumi, Thank Haru after we finish eating." Kurumi said to her daughter.

"O-Okay Mom." She answered her mother then looked into me again while saying the words, "Thank You, Haru!" with a slight blush to her face.

"You are welcome! You still coming with me on my adventures, right? Even though we are not going to Sinnoh as planned, we can explore Kanto region then go to Sinnoh after that." questioned by Haru, Kasumi happily agreed to His request of adventuring together.

" Of course I'm going with you. This big sis will surely help you 'cause you don't know how to take care of yourself." She proudly shows her smile at me while raise her two fingers with peace sign on it.

"Sure sure, Take care of me when that time comes but, Battling you tomorrow is a sure thing!"

"Okay!"

After their dinner, Kasumi's Family Return to their own house while Kevin and Helen clean up the table, Haru goes up to his room and asked the system, "Hey system, about the rare candy rewards, will there be a side effect when Pokemon consume it?"

[Finally, you talked to me, I was embarrassed on when I nearly mocked you when I saw you talked to your Eevee]

"It's okay. I kinda get you, it's probably the affection system that made Eevee understand what I said." Haru guessed about what happened earlier when Eevee learned Swift.

[Hmmm, Probably. Although I'm a system, I'm just guiding the host and helping. So anyway, Rare candy or any items gave by system have no side effects to the Pokemon. So have fun on the items!]

"Now that's relieving." Haru sighed a relief.

"I'll go to sleep now, system. We gotta meet Professor Rowan tomorrow!" Haru exclaimed and look at Eevee. "Eevee, Let's sleep now!"

'Eevee!!'
