Chereads / Pokemon The Mirage Of Illusions / Chapter 17 - Full Freedom.

Chapter 17 - Full Freedom.

Breathing in and out I get down from my energy high. 'That was different I've became an Eevee.. Wait no I'm still a Zorua but my body is transformed?..'

Walking back to the Pokedoll's and Ghost Gem I lie down and process what happened this ability is. 'I'm not transformed but it feels like my body has been shaped and changed to fit the body of Eevee. Its very strange and I can't really make an explaination for it but the best thing I can think of is that its an illusion covering the entirety of my body unlike the first illusion which feels more like a shell or costume.'

Once again lowering the illusion it starts to fade though the energy used doesn't evaporate like the previous illusion. 'Oh! That's different too. The illusion faded but since the shroud is already in my body there's nowhere for it go and I automatically reabsorb it. That's cool but it feels weird as hell.'

'OK! Next its time to test my shroud strength, like what's it based on my physical power? How strong my energy is, or something else entirely?'

Getting up I bring out 4 strands of my shroud without the intention of using it for an illusion and I shape it into multiple things including a fist, sword, revolver, and a sheld. Each one being rough and while they keep their shape bits of energy come of the constructs slopply.

'The first thing is can I make anything complicated with these things I don't know how a 6 shooter works but can I at least make the same result?' Bringing over the revolver shroud I point it over towards a tree and attempt to fire a bullet made from normal type energy.

Since it isn't a full illusion no noise is made over than the energy flying through the air as I snipe the tree from 50 feet away with decent accuracy. '..That's good I can make the same result though its too easy. I was expecting normal gun physics to apply but now that it think about it, it would make sense if there was any kick back.'

Moving on I bring my shield and sword strands to near each other and have them clash against themselves. 'Next test. Let's see if I can enhance anything about my shroud. I know I can make it bigger but can I make it more sturdy my increasing the density of energy or can I make it sharper by changing its edge?'

In my first attempt at increasing the sturdyness of the shield I'm mostly successful as with slight strain I contain the influence of energy I give the shield as it visibly thickens and becomes more solid.

While on the other hand increasing the sharpness of the blade is much tricker as that requires more controlled energy usage than I can currently use as every time I try to increase its edge it gets bigger but not sharper.

'Hm. As expected I guess making something more dense would be easier than giving a rough shadow an edge. Well onto the next thing!'

Putting away both the shield and the sword along with the 6 shooter to save on energy consumption, which I've already had to use more of the Ghost Gem to keep up with. I walk back to the tree line as I bring the hand construct to my side.

'OK! Now lets see how much I can lift with these things.' Removing all of the excess energy from the hand except what's needed to make keep it formed I try to pick up a rock around 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.

With some struggle the construct lifts the rock with one of its fingers breaking off in the process. 'Well that's good to know judging from its size maybe its half a pound or a pound heavy so the shroud isn't that impressive but once I put more energy into it it'll gain strength and then I'll be able to use it in some really cool ways!'

Putting down the rock I look up to notice the lightening sky and in a hurried panic I run back into the clearing to grab the Pokedoll's and the Ghost Gem.

I grab the Ghost Gem in my teeth and use my shroud to pick up both Pokedoll's and start to head Southeast and back towards the city as color begins to be seen in the sky.

Running back to city I ake it back in around 35 minutes and I look up towards the closed window. 'I didn't really think this through did I? Well I don't have much time so I'll get up there quickly.'

Using two hand shrouds I climb up the building or more like drag myself up the building using most of my remaining energy to make sure my constructs are strong enough to care myself.

Reaching the window I slip a hand in the crack of the window and open it. Crawling inside I walk carefully and look over Amelia seeing that she hasn't woken up yet and the rest of her Pokeball's are where they were when I left.

Sighing in relief I hop back onto the table and press my Pokeball while attempting to hide to light from the other side of the room and as I get comfortable inside I wait, rest, and attempt to get some sleep.
