Liquorice and Misty

The next day came around quickly and there were two small female minks at Pixel and Ash's doorstep after they had been given permission to enter.

Their faces were full of nervousness as they each waited for Ash, Pixel, Swifty and Harley to appear before them.

They both seemed too nervous to talk to each other as they waited for a while so they had stood there in silence for a long time.

Pixel finally had gotten dressed and arrived in front of them as they both looked at her outfit in awe and respect. "So cool (cute).)

Pixel coughed. "Ahem, so you must be who were chosen to come from the tavern and clothing store. Welcome, I am Pixel J. Meridian. It is a pleasure to meet you."

The first to reply was a small girl with white fluffy sheep hair all over her body while some parts like her joins, hands, feet and face.

Her hands and feet which were slightly shaped a little like hooves were left mostly uncovered along with the front of her face as those parts were a dark black colour. "Uh.. nice to meet you-teia~! My name is Liquorice! Um.. I am the daughter of a tailor and I like to sew and make clothes but… I really like to cut and style hair the most. My best attack is that I can gather more Electro on my body around my wool but I prefer to use my head along with it when attacking."

She had a slightly timid nature but she seemed to be friendly and quite innocent so Pixel had liked her upon first meeting since they had also shared some mutual interests.

The thick woollen fleece on her body seemed to make Liquorice quite cute looking but as she had explained, it did help her surround her body with more Electro all around her body as opposed to most Minks who have shorter fur and have learned to channel and focus their Electro to attack so Pixel had already come up with a training direction for her. "Un. Good then you can join me in studying fashion but there will be a requirement to train your fighting abilities too so you must not miss your time on the training grounds."

Liquorice nodded with a timid expression on her face. "Un."

As Pixel turned to the other girl, the other girl spoke in a hurry. "Hello young lady! My name is Misty and I am the daughter of a chef but my parents are close with your mother. I hope to become close to you-teia~ too! For now I have no hobbies but I am good at climbing and hanging from trees. If I had a specialty then it would be using my claws."

Misty showed a more serious personality upon being given the chance to speak and there was already a relationship between their parents so Pixel had taken a liking to her.

Misty had longer legs and arms as her limbs had been born elongated and she had three sharp claws on her three fingers or toes on each hand and foot which were curved and hooked that had allowed for excellent tree climbing and for hanging upside side.

She had a rounder head as opposed to Liqurice's wide head and mouth which had a pair of spiralled horns on top of her head, Misty's body was covered in a grey brown fur while her round face was white but her eyes, nose and mouth area were black while the medium length hair on top of her head was also black and slightly wavy.

Pixel smiled as she raised her two hands as she pulled them into the house. "Lets eat and we can discuss the details later. I am sure that we can come up with a future path for you once we get to know each other better."

However in her mind she recalled several images from her previous life. 'If Harley looks like an Eevee then Liquorice would be a Mareep and Misty would be a Slakoth. It is like being reunited with old friends from my previous world, how fun! It also gives me lots of ideas on how to better train them. Hmm.. electrical charged fleece and tackling attacks should be taught to Liquorice and Misty should focus on claw and some grappling moves since she has long limbs and sharp claws.'

A small excited smile appeared on her face as she imagined teaching several of her moves to each of them.

She had initially planned on teaching some to Harley but Harley had already found the path of the sword so she had nobody else to pass on her past life's experiences and moves to her mother to help her claw and biting techniques.

Now that she had two new companions by her side who had resembled the Pokémon from her old world, she was very excited as she started coming up with many ideas to help them train.

For Misty she already had the idea to teach her Fling, Cut, Strength, Brick Break, Bunk Up, Slash, Hammer Arm, Crush Claw, Body Slam, Headbutt, Counter, Fury Swipes and Flail along with some additional moves to help train her body and make up for her slower movements as she added some additional electric, normal or fighting attacks.

Due to her long experience judging her opponents to gain insight into their physical and other capabilities, she was able to quickly see the advantages and disadvantages of the type of body Misty had but her Electro made up for many of her weaknesses like her slow movement.

Her advantage was that she seemed to possess a balanced and decent amount of stamina, endurance and strength in her body which would probably later change upon reaching full maturity as her stamina would become about double of her endurance and strength so she had excellent potential as her bodies overall agility or speed would be half of her endurance and strength while her stamina was double of her strength which would be further improved with further training and the use of Electro.

The same was true for the overall stat distribution of Liquorice but it was less obvious of a gap between her agility, strength and defence which were much closer together while her stamina seemed to have a slightly bigger gap which would probably grow wider as she matures so she was a lot more closely balanced than Misty in terms of strength, endurance and speed once she grew up so Pixel was able to see her advantages and disadvantages as she prepared her teaching plan.

She had planned to teach Liquorice many moves like Tackle, Charge, Take Down, Agility, Body Slam, Headbutt, Double Team which were mainly moves to help bring down or charge at her opponents while she had others in mind for helping to improve her physique.

It could be said that they were already born with greater potential as they were of animal bloodlines which were superior to a mouse or lightning mouse so their future potential was quite good already but compared to more predatory or carnivorous bloodlines who were at the top of the food chain, they were still quite lacking so they still needed to be improved upon as Pixel had already long surpassed many within her own age range that had a superior bloodline type compared to herself because they had not yet begun or would not begin their training to improve upon themselves.

For example upon birth, Pixel had been born with lower stamina but had much greater speed compared to Misty and Liquorice as one was a little more balanced in later life as she had a large amount of stamina while Misty would later grow to have a large amount of stamina followed by strength while other stats were lower.

Each Mink or Pokémon had their similarities as they were based on a type of animal and they had a certain body type which was more suited to certain abilities, moves or fighting patterns and Pixel had very quickly been able to pick up on that as she had more than enough experience from her previous life.

However instead of talking about her plans, she started by bringing them over to her side and gaining their friendship with sweets and cakes that she had made.

As four to five year old children, they were very quick to be subdued by the sweetness of the many deserts in front of them so they started opening up to her very quickly which had been much quicker than Harley who still was quite quiet most of the time.
