Chapter 51

It took Leon less than one second to read all the features and he was left speechless, amazed at the items in front of him.

Prof. Oak misunderstood Leon's shocked expression as though he did not know what the items were. "These are prototypes me and Mike have been developing, "Ditto technology" don't mind the name of the project we haven't decided on an official name yet. It allows us to use the genes of Ditto, harnessing its ability to replicate items. This gives them a transformation function. It has many other potential applications, but we are focusing on this aspect for now." The Professor explained excitedly.

"We have already achieved some of our goals; these bracelets and amulets can fully replicate an item but the original items have to be consumed by the bracelet for it to fully replicate them. There is more work to be done until we don't have to feed the original equipment anymore," the Professor added.

"How could I accept this Professor?" Leon said hurriedly thinking that these items were probably the first of their kind. "These items are priceless."

"Don't worry we have already recorded the data so we can replicate the process again, these items were also originally crafted for you, the Monarchs personally gave me the materials to create these, they initially wanted to utilize materials from their own body but I did not agree. Crafting items using their materials would be too powerful for you since they are way above S rank. This would hinder your growth instead of protecting you, so we ended up using S-rank materials after a bit of contemplation," Prof. Oak chuckled. "Now wear them, the dark orange bracelet on your left arm and the dark blue one on your right arm."

Leon wore an ordinary set of accessories. The items automatically resized to fit Leon. "Now, to activate battle mode pour a little bit of your aura into them," the Professor instructed.

Leon then followed Prof. Oak's instructions and sent out a bit of his aura to the items, which instantly transformed them into something more powerful.

Venasaur's Amulet transformed into a metallic-looking dark green cuirass that covered the upper chest and upper back. At the center of the chest had an aerial view of Venasaur's flower so it almost looked like a red circle with a little dark yellow in the middle, the same could be seen on the back (Like the ironman chest armor Leon thought), it was then connected to both arms syncing their energy reserves and other functions.

On the right where Blastoise's Bracelet was worn, the shoulders looked like they had a shell of a Blastoise downsized to not limit the users' movements, dark blue scales ran down and connected it towards the gauntlet that looked like half a shell covering the entire forearm, it could act like a shield, the hand was covered with a dark blue scale like a glove protecting it, when the Cannon was activated the middle of the shell split open and a cannon barrel emerged.

On the left arm where Charizard's Bracelet was located, dark-orange scales covered the entire shoulders while a flame that resembled a Charizard's tail engulfed the whole deltoid, it did not use any energy to maintain it nor did it hurt the user, you could also opt to turn it off when doing covert missions. The dark orange scales then continued to run down towards a gauntlet that had two retracted Charizard wings sticking out of it. These wings resemble two arching blades pointing toward the shoulders. You could then unsheathe a hidden sword from the tip of the gauntlet that looked like the one in Assassin's Creed but much larger. You could adjust the length of the sword depending on the need. It could reach a maximum of 1 meter in length. You could wield it to stab or slash your opponents. The hand was then covered in dark orange scales forming a glove to protect it.

Leon was standing there admiring the equipment's battle mode while the professor explained all the equipment's functions. "You can adjust all the physical features of both arms mentally to make it less bulky, it's the beauty of 'Ditto Technology', you can use the training room in the lab to test them out," Prof. Oak added after he finished explaining their abilities. Leon deactivated the battle mode and quickly hugged Prof. Oak and Mike, who both returned the hug.

A deep sense of gratitude filled his heart. He looked up to Prof. Oak and thought of him as his adoptive father. Mike was like his older brother in this world. He also wanted to head to the Monarch's Nest and thank them. Mike felt Leon's intention and said "The Monarch's mentioned that you should use your time wisely and practice wielding your newly acquired equipment since your mission is right around the corner. You can thank them later when you finish the mission and return safely."

Leon nodded realizing their intent. He headed straight to the lab's facilities; he was looking forward to testing out the equipment until it was time to leave for the mission.
