Pokemon The Mirage Of Illusions

"I shall have your head!!!"

The newly formed Politoed rushes at me as soon as the light dissipates.

"Yes! Politoed go on use Ice Punch!" apon seeing his newly evolved pokemon the kid barks another order with renewed vigor.

The Politoed moves decently fas even with the posion still in its system. Condensing a layer of frosty air around its fist and charging in without care throwing an absolute haymaker at my head.

"Kage use Quick Attack and then Snarl!" Amelia actually tells me an order as the Politoed gets within 5 feet. 'I know! Getting commanded is kinda annoying! Especially simple shit like dodging!'

Even with my complaining I focus up and quickly release a Quick Attack to maneuver backwards and then around the Politoed, and as I get around to its side I let out a nasty snear and a menacing noise pierces the air as I Snarl at the toad.

To my surprise the Politoed stays up and pushes through my Snarl after some struggle. 'The hell? he's actting strange, he didn't even flinch at Snarls sound, which is probably the most dangerous part of the move but he couldn't even fully resist its raw power?'

"Politoed! Back off and use Bubble Beam!" the blonde haired menace shouts at the toed but in a oddly enough the Pokemon charges forward instead and condenses more frosty air around both of its fists.

'Ah, I suppose drugs here are bad. I mean that's just common sense but in normal Pokemon things like Rare Candies and EXP Candies don't have any drawbacks but that clearly isn't the case here. I just thought they were rare or it was some sort of finness over brawn type of deal, since even Cynthia didn't give me any to speed up my training. Turns out their just straight up back for Pokemon.'

Taking matter into my own hands I start using Quick Attack in succession to move around to the back of the Politoed while letting off multiple low powered Snarls into its blind spots. "D-damnit Politoed! Get yourself together and use Whirlpool!" The blonde keeps speaking which only gets the Politoed more worked up.

"Eee, Eevee! (Can you do me a favor, and shut up!)" I shout towards the rich kid in my frustation over his mismanagement and butting in, even though Amelia's doing the same thing with her less than helpful commands.

'I can't wait until I get a human form, then I won't have to deal with this bullshit!' Over the course of around 3 minutes I whittle the Politoed down without hurting him too bad through weak Snarls, running, and posion stall untill he eventually ends up knocked out face first in sand.

"No Politoed get up! We need to show these peasants that they can't measure up to us!" Rich kid Richie yells out so dramatically you would've though that this was the final match of the Indigo League. 'There is no need to be that dramatic, its not like he's getting up anyway he's completely knocked ou-'

I stop my thoughts dead in my tracts as I look at the scene set infront of me. The sun slowly falls and fades into the background a orange glow reflects from off the sand highlighting the warm blues and soft pinks of the sunset. Then a slight twitch goes through the Politoeds fingers and in a show of pure willpower he very slowly gets back up onto a knee.

'There is no fucking way.' 

"My master, I wish to battle for you some more! I will make your dreams a reality! We will conquer all of Johto in both battle and mind! I will stand with you!!!" The Politoed stands up on both feet and makes his declaration with the sun shining on his back blazing even during the sunset.

I look back to his trainer who to my absolute shock is crying as if in that moment he heard his Pokemon's wishes. 'What the fuck?????'

{What NOT To Do When Training Your Pokemon!}

{Rare Candies and EXP Candies along with the X-Items are all different drugs! Rare Candies and EXP Candies are the solidified version of Pokemon energy or the energy Pokemon are made out of. The red energy they turn into after being recalled is a form of this energy and its the same energy inside of trading machines. The reason these candies aren't used is simpel theri very unethical!}

{Rare Candies and EXP Candies are made from parts high leveled Pokemon, unlike other items made by Pokemon like Razor Fangs and Shed Skins these Pokemon were specifically injured in order to obtain this energy. How leveling up works is this energy leaks from all Pokemon and acts as another bodily system, without it the Pokemon becomes permanently damanged or dead and to make EXP Candies and Rare Candies a coupious amount of this energy is used. Pokemon tend to leak more energy the more injured and stressed they are which means to effienctly harvest this energy severely harming the Pokemon is unaviodable.}

{This energy is then compacted through a multiple different ways and sold usually in the criminal underworld or through various "suppiers". I say usually since these Candies are techincally legal if sourced through the People And Pokemon Association. The PPA is the governing force through the regions and while each region has their own PPA they all come together to form the United World People And Pokemon Association.}

{The legal process is lengthy and even though the Pokemon who go through the PPA are in much better conditions they usually still walk out with some permanently loss strength. Another thing of Rare Candies and EXP Candies is that they can raise a Pokemon's affinity depending on what types of Pokemon made the Candy. In some cases that can allow for certain Pokemon to learn moves they shouldn't be able to know like a Jolteon knowing Stone Edge. But neither of these phenomenon can be tracked.}

{Finally Pokemon who take these candies can be permanetly changed either not allowing for breeding, a personallity change, or partial or complete loss of sapience.}

{X-Items are just drugs lol.}
