Chapter 4. Time in the Dungeons passes by fast.
Three weeks have passed by since my Pokemon and i had defeated the Zombie dungeon boss and all that time was spent training and dungeon diving.
The first thing i did after summoning my new Pokemon was go back to the Zombie Dungeon almost every day, our plan was to level up my three new Pokemon, which were a Snorunt, a Riolu and a Petilil.
These three Pokemon and their evolutions weren't just some of my favorite Pokemon but they also have access to some very useful moves that i want for myself.
After summoning them i immediately used my skill Observe on them to get their information and this is the information i got, starting with Petilil.
Ping!.
Name: Petilil. (female).
Type: Grass.
Ability: Own Tempo.
Level: 1.
The leaves on Petilil's head are very bitter, which can cause dizziness.
However, these leaves possess revitalizing effects such as restoring a person's vigor.
This can be achieved by eating the leaves directly, or drying and boiling them into an infusion, this infusion is also sometimes used as a bug repellent, because of the health effects of its leaves, Petilil is very popular with the elderly.
Petilil tends to appear near sources of clean waters, it lives in areas with soil abundant in moisture and nutrients.
Their homes can be either well tended fields or flowerbeds, however, they will leave if the environment turns bad.
This Pokémon is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
Moves: Growth, Absorb.
Petilil and it's evolution Liligant are really powerful grass type Pokemon and have access to some very useful status condition skills that i want, it also learns all the HP draining grass moves which are undoubtedly very good to have and a great way to save money since i can rely on these skills to keep my HP up.
The next Pokemon i used Observe on was Snorunt a half dark type, half ice type pokemon.
Name: Snorunt. (female).
Type: Ice, Dark.
Ability: Ice Body.
Level: 1.
Well adapted to life in colder climates, it subsists on snow and ice and can survive temperatures as low as-150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Snorunt is also a social creature, living and traveling with other Snorunt in groups of five. It can be found incaves, particularly when the outside weather lacks snow.
Additionally, it has been known to visit human dwellings.
Moves: Powder Snow, Leer
This tiny pokemon has the potential of becoming a powerhouse and since I'm planning on evolving it into a Frosslass, a half ghost and half ice type Pokemon who has amazing moves available for it to learn as it levels up, moves that I'm planning on learning myself, this makes it a very useful addition to the team.
Last but not least, i used Observe on one of my all time favorite Pokemon ever, Riolu and it's evolution Lucario promises to be a very reliable teammate that i will be learning a lot from.
Name: Riolu. (male).
Type: Fighting.
Ability: Inner Focus.
Level: 1.
It stands on its toes instead of its entire foot, It is sensitive to a special type of energy called Aura however, it does not have the ability to fully use these powers, although it can still emanate these waves to communicate and sense them, albeit only in ripples.
It has even been seen that Riolu can sense and react to Aura before they even hatch.
It has developed two black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Riolu reads or manipulates Aura, a special energy that it senses.
Like almost all Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu naturally has superhuman strength, stamina, and endurance and is capable of making long journeys on foot in a short amount of time.
It is a playful, energetic, and loyal Pokémon.
Moves: Quick Attack, Endure.
With Riolu in my team I can learn some very useful Aura type skills, like Aura sense which was like having the Byakugan from Naruto but without the blind spot and the ability to create Aura constructs which just seems like a very useful ability to have.
Besides that Riolu and Lucario can naturally learn Protect and Detect which are very good defensive skills to have and Counter and Reversal, which are attacks that can severely punish my enemies if used right, plus training with Riolu and later Lucario will improve my hand to hand combat abilities even further.
After introducing myself, Charmander, Ralts and Eevee to the three new Pokemon and getting to know them a bit, we all went to sleep.
And so the next three weeks we worked hard grinding for exp, money and loot in the Zombie Dungeon, this also helped the three new Pokemon get used to our style of training and fighting.
By end of the three weeks Charmander, Eevee and Ralts reached level 45, after that they started to earn even less exp from the undead in the dungeon but Riolu, Snorunt and Petilil benefited the most from our daily grinding and eventually reached level 44.
I reached level 32 and received the perk Dragon skin, which turns my skin hard as a dragon's increasing both my physical and magical defenses, it also keeps growing stronger as i level up, which is great because i just don't like wearing armor, for some reason i just feel very constricted and uncomfortable while wearing any kind of armor.
I think it has something to do with my Dragonoid race but i have no proof of this yet so I've been ignoring it for now.
I also gained the Exp Share perk from my Pokemon training skill, which allows all of my Pokemon to receive some exp regardless if they're in the Pokemon box in the Pokemon tab of my menu screen.
This was great news, because I can have Pokemon in the box and over time they'll grow stronger as I go through the dungeons, allowing them to safely grow while I focus on my current team, I also decided that I'll be making them all reach their final evolution before I begin to swap them out with other Pokemon, besides this also makes sure that i have many partners ready for anything and everything.
Besides allowing my Riolu, Snorunt and Petilil to catch up to the other three Pokemon, all of this grinding helped me practice and train with my new sword style, the slow moving zombies were great practice target while the fast moving Ghouls and Deadhounds were great for me to use and to get comfortable using my new swords skills on fast moving targets.
I also learned many new skills from my new Pokemon and even picked up the basics of Aura sensing from Riolu, i also of course continued to text and hang out with Serafall who had started to take every Saturday off just to hang out with me.
This made me very happy, i mean it's not every day that a very busy maou decides to take more days off just to spend time with me, so i decided that on those days we would do whatever she wanted to do.
I even went to a anime convention with her and spent the entire day walking around from booth to booth buying whatever we wanted.
I have never had the chance to go to one of these events in my past life but i was very interested in going to at least once since they seemed a lot of fun but since i had a lot of work I've never had the chance to go to one, so i was very happy to write 'going to a anime convention' off my bucket list.
Other than that, me a Serafall would just hang out in the local arcade or at the park where we met though Serafall suprised me last weekend by handing me a summoning ad with her very own magical circle and told me to leave it in my room so she can visit me whenever she wanted.
She looked nervous when she gave it to me and i think she thought i would say no but i just told her okay and to text me before she decides to visit so i can make sure i lock my room, that way no one in my family would catch her teleporting into my room.
She actually jumped around happily that i had said yes and this was when i finally realized that she must have been feeling very lonely all this time.
Something I'm sure is the result of her being a maou and one of the most powerful devils in the underworld, the amount of beings that must have tried to get close to her just to use her must have been an enormous number but I'll make sure to be a good friend to her, that way she'll never feel alone again, i know first hand how horrible loneliness feels like.
Today is the day me and my six Pokemon go to the new dungeon we unlocked after defeating the Zombie Dungeon Boss, the Undead Samurai.
The new dungeon is named the Goblin Dungeon which means that as a fully sentient enemy i can expect weapons and magic to be used against us.
This was the main reason i spent three weeks preparing and making sure my Pokemon were ready for anything and now that we are, I feel fully confident that we can deal with almost anything in this Dungeon, i even have been buying TMs to teach new moves to my Pokémon in preparation for the new dungeon.
I also bought the evolution stones and items needed for some of my Pokemon to evolve just in case someone of them reach level 100 in this dungeon.
However before we head in i used the two other Common Pokemon Token I received through out these past three weeks, of course i asked Astraea as to why i have been having a hard time finding more Pokemon Tokens than before.
She told me that now that I have a full team of six Pokemon the chances of me finding Pokemon Tokens from an already cleared dungeon are even lower, which makes sense now that i think about it, this way I'm forced to go to a new dungeon if i want even more Pokemon, she did tell me i was extremely lucky that i was even able to find two more during these three weeks.
But anyways i decided to summon these two Pokemon so they can grow safely in the Pokemon box while me and my six Pokemon team go through the dungeon and so i crushed the Tokens and choose my two new Pokemon, which are a Trapinch and a Scyther.
I didn't have a particular reason for choosing these two Pokemon other than i like them a lot, as a matter of fact after my first six Pokemon any other new Pokemon i choose will more than likely be because i just like them or they're some of my favorite Pokemon.
Once i summoned them I introduced myself and told them what i was planning, Trapinch was okay with it but Scyther wanted to fight so I had to promise that once he levels up high enough, me and him will be sparing and even going into to the dungeon with Trapinch, this made Scyther happy and so I used Observe on both of them, starting with Scyther.
Name: Scyther. (male).
Type: Bug, Flying.
Ability: Technician.
Level: 1.
Scyther is an adept hunter that tears at its prey with its scythes.
Thanks to its green coloration, it can camouflage itself well in the grasslands and forests where it lives.
Humans rarely encounter wild Scyther in these areas, however, it is said to be like a ninja, Scyther can move so quickly that it cannot be followed, increasing the effectiveness of its scythes.
It maintains the sharpness of its blades through battle as well as by cutting through hard objects, such as trees
Moves: Leer, Quick Attack.
And then it was Trapinch's turn next.
Name: Trapinch. (female).
Type: Ground.
Ability: Hyper Cutter.
Level: 1.
Trapinch's large jaws are powerful enough to crush boulders.
It lives in arid deserts, and it can go a week without water, so instead of actively hunting prey, it digs into the sand to build its bowl- or cone-shaped nests, where it waits for prey to stumble inside and become trapped.
The weight of this Pokémon's large head makes Trapinch move slower but becomes vulnerable after falling or rolling into their backs.
Moves: Sand Attack, Astonish.
With those two Pokemon safely allowed to grow in the Pokemon box, my first six Pokemon and me were ready, i still have a month before school starts and i wanted to have these six Pokemon at least reach their final forms before that.
So with a grin on my face and the will to grind for that goal i used my ID Create skill and jumped right in, along my Pokemon.
Two weeks have passed and during the first week , my Pokemon and i conquered the Goblin Dungeon the first day we entered it.
It wasn't easy though, the dungeon was located inside an old abandoned mine, so we had some difficulty adapting to fighting in such close spaces, but in the end we did.
What we did was use all of the debuffing skills we had learn first to weaken the dungeon's Goblins, Scary Face and Sand Attack were definitely the to go to skills to use and after that the Goblins were easy pickings for a while.
Until the enhanced and evolved counter parts began to spawn, Goblins, rogues, archers and mages added even more difficulty to our dungeon diving but eventually we found our rhythm again by using Priority attacks like Quick Attack to take out the Goblins Mages before they could even finish casting their spell.
Meanwhile Ralts and Petilil used Sleep powder and Hypnosis to take care of the Goblins Rogues and Archers while the rest of us took down of the magic users, this however didn't mean we didn't get hurt.
We all had learned how it feels to get an arrow stuck in our bodies and have to pull it out before we could heal it, needless to say that it was both painful and annoying.
I was even blasted and thrown against the walls of the mine multiple times by the Goblin mage's fireball spells, luckly Ralts is always paying attention to what is happening to me and she always made it her priority to heal me.
That little Ralts took her job as a healer very seriously hahaha, but i was glad she did so but the amount of damage we would sometimes receive meant that i had to start using the Potions and Super Potions i had bought in advance.
I was happy to find out that the Potions work differently that their games counterparts, instead of healing a set number of HP points they now heal in Percentages.
Regular Potions heal twenty percent of a Pokemon's max HP points and the Super Potions healed a fifty percent, this of course made them more expensive to buy but thanks to our previous grinding i had enough money to buy quite a bunch of them in bulk.
Though i always made sure to have plenty of berries to give to my Pokémon, especially since some of them can cure status conditions.
The Pecha Berry was very useful in this dungeon since the Goblins had the nasty habit of lacing their weapons with poison, something we learned the hard way, luckly Eevee and i had the skill Refresh which heals status conditions and I had plenty of Pecha Berries for the rest.
Eventually we reached the Boss room and met with the Goblin King, this bastard was a magic wielding swordsman making him very dangerous and difficult to fight.
It took us at least an hour to finally kill him and that's with me and Riolu abusing Counter and Reversal in the end, though I did get to try my sword style against another sword user.
I was outmatched at first, my inexperience with both using a Tachi and my new sword style showed but as the fight progressed, i began to improve terrifyingly fast and soon enough i was able to match the Goblin King.
I asked Astraea about why i was improving so fast with my sword style, she told me that as a supernatural being and a Gamer i have a very high range of adaptability when it comes to battle, being a Dragonoid also helps me a lot in this.
I'm not complaining but it did catch me by surprise, still i was glad that this was the case, with this i can grow in strength even faster.
After beating the Goblin King we went back home to rest, we have received a lot of money, weapons and healing items from the loot we got, the weapons i sold them to the Game's shop since i didn't need them and I used that money to buy more TMs, surprisingly the TMs weren't numbered and i found out that each and every TM available in the games was available for me to buy which was great!.
From the Goblin king i gained the perk Element Infusion which allows me to easily infuse an element into my body or my sword allowing me to cause extra damage by abusing an enemy's weekness.
I could already somewhat do this but with this skill it was not only easier to do so but also more energy efficient.
The rest of the the week was spent grinding even more, the Pokemon didn't mind and seem to be thriving with all of this fighting, it made sense since in the games it is said that Pokemon really do like fighting a lot.
By Wednesday of that first week of grinding in the Goblin Dungeon my first six Pokemon had finally reached Level 100.
So i evolved them right away and now i had a Charmeleon, Vaporeon, Kyrlia, Lucario, Liligant and Frosslass and i couldn't have been any happier.
I leveled up to level 38 during that week of training and grinding, my skills and perks were progressing quickly and some have even reached intermediate rank.
But when we went back to grinding the Goblin Dungeon we noticed right away the amount of exp needed for them to level up had gone up pretty high, i of course already knew that this would happened since Astraea warned me about it before hand.
But we didn't care and we continued to grind and get used to all the new moves and abilities available to them now, i also continued to pick up skills from my Pokemon and tried to master their use.
Lucario and Scyther 'who had reach level 60 now along with Trapinch' sparred with me everyday allowing me to improve my hand to hand combat and sword skills even further, they also benefited from our spars and started to pick up things from the way i fought.
Lucario and i spent a considerable amount of time training even longer since i wanted to learn Aura sense and manipulation, after three days of constant training and grinding during nights i finally learned the skills but they were at a novice level which means that all i have to do now is keep using them constantly to raise their ranks.
Eventually Saturday arrived and Serafall teleported into my room really early in the morning and just jumped into my bed with me to nap, completely ignoring the fact that my Pokemon were peacefully sleeping all over my room, which luckly was pretty big, my family having a good financial situation was very helpful at this moment.
Though i did have to explain to her what they were when we woke up and i was able to recover from my shock of waking up in her arms, I told her that they had appeared out of nowhere and that i somehow knew that they were bonded to me and that i could summon or send them away whenever i wanted.
But Serafall didn't really care about any of that and just hugged my confused Pokemon and called them awesome and cute.
Watching the perplexed and confused faces of my Pokemon while they were being hugged by the tiny maou made me laugh, my Pokemon of course didn't appreciate this and dogpiled me in retaliation causing Serafall to giggle.
I also showed her some of my skills and explained how i somehow knew how to used a skill or ability after watching it being used once, she awed and had me try to copy her ice magic, which worked and i obtained the Ice Magic Manipulation skill but it was no where close to her level of power and skill, though she still clapped in awe nonetheless.
I had planned to slowly reveal everything i can do to her, to show her that i trust her and so i started with this, eventually I'll tell her about the Game and that I'm a Dragonoid but the fact that I'm a transmigrant soul is something that i will keeping to myself, it would just be very difficult to explain that.
My past life was over anyways and there was no need to ever bring it up again, besides i did promise to myself to move on and enjoy my new life.
After that i spent the entire day with Serafall in my room watching anime or playing video games, i even ordered a bunch of different types of pizzas for us to eat along with my Pokemon.
My little sister gaped at the amount of pizzas that were delivered and the amount of money i flashed when I payed them but she didn't ask since she was still trying to find a way to reconnect with me.
But to me that wasn't important at the moment, i had a bunch of hungry Pokemon and a maou to feed, this was how the Saturday of that first week went like.
After Serafall left late at night i used some more Pokemon Tokens we got from the Goblin Dungeon, though we had only gotten three but it was enough for now.
So i crushed them and choose another Eevee since i wanted an Umbreon (male), a Alolan Vulpix (female) and a Pidgey (female) since i wanted a Flying type and i was always fond of Pidgey and its evolutions.
Once I summoned them immediately used Observe on them starting with my Alolan Vulpix.
Name: Vulpix Alolan variant (female).
Type: Ice.
Ability: Snow Cloak.
Level: 1.
Alolan Vulpix is believed to have arrived in the region at the same time as humans but moved to the snow-capped mountain to avoid other Pokémon.
It can be found in small packs, called skulks, that are led and protected by Ninetales, Alolan Vulpix can expel breath as cold as -58F (-50C), which is capable of freezing anything.
While it is not suited to warmer environments, its tail can produce ice to lower the surrounding temperature if needed.
An old, local name for this Pokémon is "Keokeo", referring to its white pelt.
Moves: Powder Snow.
Then it was Pidgey's turn.
Name: Pidgey (female).
Type: Normal, Flying.
Ability: Big Pecks.
Level: 1.
Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts, it can travel straight back to its nest regardless of how far away they might have flown.
It is a docile Pokémon and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them, by flapping its wings rapidly, it can whip up dust clouds and create whirlwinds to protect itself and flush out potential prey.
Pidgey is very common throughout its range and can often be seen in meadows andtemperate forests.
EkansandSneaselare natural predators of Pidgey while Pidgey preys onSeedot.
Moves: Tackle.
These three Pokemon are very energetic from the get go and immediately got along with the rest of my Pokemon, so with them in my box, along Trapinch and Scyther, my six Pokemon and i challenged the next dungeon which was named the Beast Dungeon.
And like the name suggests this dungeon was full of beast like monsters, Kobolds, Nightmares, canine monsters like Garms and Hellhounds and even giant Bears and Wolves.
But my Pokemon this time had field advantage too since this dungeon was in a giant forest and they took advantage of it.
The Monster were really high leveled and very aggressive so we struggled a bit at the beginning but us having access to all kinds of debuffs and status conditions skills was very helpful, especially since this type of monsters had a high Hp, Strength, Dexterity and Vitality stats.
My skill Hawkeye came in handy in this dungeon as well since i could used it in conjunction with Swift or Aura Sphere this allowed me to beat my targets with long range attacks that never missed guaranteeing times two damage to my targets.
Eventually we found the boss, a three headed giant dog more commonly known as a Ceberus, and it was very powerful, we hit him with every debuff we had and paralysis but even then it was still doing a lot of damage to us and had the habit of using charge attacks and breathe fire on us, so we took a step back, healed as fast as we could and buff ourselves with everything we had at our disposal.
Even then we verily won that battle, we were left tired, hurt and depressed at how close to defeat we came to.
But i got up and growled in anger and determination, i wasn't going to let this set me back, next time I'll be better prepared and we'll be sstrongerin that moment i promised to myself that me and my Pokemon would grow even stronger so this doesn't happen ever again.
My pokemon sensing my determination and my will stood up and growled with me, we will get stronger that's going to be our all time goal.
After that ordeal we headed back home to both rest and heal, i have finally reached Level 45, which comes to show how powerful and dangerous the monsters in the Beast Dungeon were and the next one we unlocked was called the Demon Dungeon and that made me nervous, if the Beast Dungeon was this difficult even after i had prepared so much then I don't want to even imagine the Demon Dungeon.
After I had reached level 45 i gained the skill Dragon eyes which then combine with Observe and became the skill Luminous Dragon Eyes.
Skill name: Luminous Dragon Eyes.
Nothing can hide from these shinning bright eyes!.
Eyes with perfect analytical abilities, with which the user can measure the abilities of others.
Using the Luminous Dragon Eye, the Gamer can even see the targets' magical energy even if they try to conceal it.
Note: Everything pertaining the target is revealed from stats, information to weaknesses.
Note: This skill has no level limit allowing the user to see a targets information regardless of level diference.
This skill will be invaluable to me for future battles and will allow me to prepare accordingly against any foe i might face, this Dragonoid race continues to be very beneficial to me though i do wonder who is my Dragon god ancestor, he or she must be extremely powerful if the skills I'm gaining are anything to go by.
Next i also gained a few Pokemon training skills which were, Level 1 Prize Money Power, level 1 Exp Point Power, level 1 HP Restoring Power and level 1 EP Restoring Power.
I instantly recognized these skills, back in my original world in Pokemon X and Y, the player would receive these O-powers that he or she could use to make things easier for them.
Of course there were more than these but i guess the Gamer's system deemed them unnecessary for me but that's okay, with these i can help my Pokemon grow stronger faster and even though right now they're having a bit of difficulty with the Beast Dungeon, once they begin to level up faster they'll have an easier time with future battles.
The loot we received from the beasts in this dungeon were mostly fangs, claws and hides but since i didn't have a skill that could used them i sold them, though i did get two more Pokemon Tokens but I'll be saving those until i think of what other Pokemon i want next for my team.
From the dungeon boss i got the perk Hellfire, which increases the power of all my fire type skills and abilities, it also adds spiritual damage to your target plus in turned my fire blue, needless to say that Charmeleon was very jealous about how strong and cool my fire type skills looked now.
We took two days off to rest and relax, our almost defeat still shooked us but after we were well rested, we were once again ready to tackle the Beast Dungeon.
I abused the hell out of my new O-power skills to help my Pokemon grow faster and faster during what was left of this week.
Of course i ended up using them so much that they eventually reached level 2 and my Pokemon and i grew even further, though even as we grew the monsters of the Beast dungeon continued to be a great challenge to us but we were determined to reach our goal and with the new school year soon approaching we needed to hurry, since school would cut off a lot of our training time.
Eventually Saturday arrived and my Pokemon were almost at level 100 for their second stages, which means Charmeleon and Kyrlia could soon evolve.
Scyther and Trapinch had already reached Level 100 and evolved into Scizor and Vibrava.
My other Eevee, Alola Vulpix and Pidgey were almost at level 100 too.
During our constant grind in the Beast Dungeon we were only able to obtain one more Common Pokemon Token, this made our Token count go up to three so i started to think about what other three Pokemon to choose.
While i wasost in thought, i was suddenly snapped back into reality by Serafall who appeared in my room and immediately jumped into my arms, i verily had time to catch her since i was so distracted from thinking about what Pokemon to summon next but seeing my ice wielding maou friend gave my and idea on one particular Pokemon i could summon.
I knew Serafall was a master at using ice magic but before she was maou Leviathan she was a Sitri who were famous for their hydrokinesis and those facts reminded me of a water and ice type Pokemon that was in my team back when i played Pokemon Silver, but i left that thought for later since Serafall was here.
So as Serafall hugged me i crushed the three Pokemon Tokens i had and picked my three new Pokemon though this time i asked the goddess to put them on the Pokemon box so they wouldn't cause a mess.
The first Pokemon i chose was a Lapras the Pokemon Serafall reminded me of, then a Feebas and finally a Mareep, after that i decided to leave them in the box and introduced myself after Serafall leaves, right now i had to spent time with her.
So we went to the movies and watched at least four of them which was fun, Serafall really liked scary movies and to my amusement she was the type of girl to laugh at the scary and gory parts.
After that we teleported back to my room and i made dinner for the both us, my sister and parents weren't home but I wasn't surprised by that.
But it seems like Serafall really liked my cooking, so much in fact that she declared that i would make a fine wife someday, i just rolled my eyes at her and took her plate away causing her to apologize and beg for me to forgive her, which i did i few seconds later a pouting Serafall was dangerous to my health.
Serafall left right after finishing eating dinner but not before hugging me and promising to text me tomorrow, i think she noticed how alone i seemed to be in my house by myself and is trying to somehow make me feel less alone.
I appreciate it but I'm already used to it and besides my parents have been texting me very often to ask me how i was or if i need anything, it seems that they're really trying to show me that they care more often.
Anyways i went to my room and locked it, i then teleported deep into the forest where i once ventured deep, into trying to find a lake or something where Vaporeon could swim around, luckly i found a small pond in the middle of the forest and this is where i was heading right now.
Once i arrived i summoned my new Pokemon and Lapras immediately went for the pond which was the plan all along.
After introducing myself and the rest of my Pokemon they'll soon got along, we stayed in the forest for a while longer and played around late into the night but we didn't care since we had a lot fun.
Sunday passed by and on Monday of the last week of summer vacation we jumped straight into our training, determined to finally have most of my Pokemon evolved into their final stages before i started school and so we continued to grind inside the Beast Dungeon while i continued to abuse the O-powers skills.
