Learning To Fight

'It's been 2 weeks since I first killed that Swinub and since then I've only killed a couple others while I haven't felt as terrible it still sucks killing Pokemon or other things in general. Though at least the insane bear has so far made due on his promise, he's been training me on using moves through something he calls environmental energy. With that he also taught me how to retract my claws, I'm guessing that he knew from his time as a Cubchoo since his claws are always out as a Beartic.'

'The most confusing thing is that even though I automatically knew how to walk and move using my body I couldn't figure out how to retract my claws without someone teaching me.'

'While the energies are both confusing and simple. Using what I think to be some sort of organ or bodily function all Pokemon can draw in the natural energy of the world and manipulate it. Which I suppose makes sense but that isn't an actual reason why Pokemon can use moves.'

'Maybe its a cultivation thing where Pokemon bodies naturally absorb the energy of the world and over years of evolution they were able to manipulate it directly. Anyway let me focus I'm getting off topic I've figured out a couple of moves namely Scratch, Tackle, Leer and the most interesting one Hone Claws. Another thing is that I've figured out how to make a "Bite" move but since I can barely manipulate dark energy its more similar to a normal type move than a dark type one.'

'I suppose I should focus since that bear count is about to have me fight again since I've recovered from the Swinub's Ice Shard and what I assume to be Powder Snow.'

Looking forward both D and Beartic are moving through the snowy mountain side until they reach another cave similar to the one that Beartic and D lives in. "Your going to go into that cave and kill everything in it. don't come out until everything in there is dead if you do come out before everything is dead I'll personally rip your head from your body."

Beartic says threatening D and using his hand to push D towards the cave. 'This damn bear! As soon as I'm strong enough I'm putting my claws through his heart reverse flash style!' D nods slightly and enters the cave taking two steps from the entrance.

Immediately apon taking his second step a silhouette of another Pokemon moves quickly from the left to the right side of the cave fast enough so that D even with his slight dark vision can't see it. 'For gods sake! I couldn't even see it properly! I've been memorizing everything I remember about Pokemon and the only thing that would live eon a mountain and is that fast is a-'

Having his thoughts interrupted the Pokemon charges him a an extremely fast attack but the attack goes straight through D knocking its own body into the opposite wall of the cave.

'A Snealsel! Wait was that a Quick Attack? again another Priority move but this time it can't even hurt me. But I better be careful since it probably knows dark type moves and if it hits me with one of those I'm finished. I should use a Hone Claws into a Scratch to finish this quickly.

The Pokemon who now revealed itself to be a Sneasel once again charges towards D using another Quick Attack while I use a Hone Claws and I don't bother dodging the Quick Attack as it passes through me with no damage.

As I dodge the Sneasel's Quick Attack with ease it once again crashes into a wall while I finishes his Hone Claws. 'Now I should only need a couple of Scratches to slow it down before I can finish it off.' Once again uses a Hone Claws by scratching his claws on the floor and this time the Sneasel gets up uses a different move.

This time Sneasel uses a ice type move with frosty winds firing out of its mouth pushing towards me although its very slow compared to its Quick Attack and with that I'm able to finish his second Hone Claws and dodge to winds.

Using Scratch and running towards the Sneasel it runs towards me in a change in its demeanor while I see that dark type energy is surrounding its body. 'I can't avoid it now! I've got two Hone Claws my Scratch with STAB should be more than enough even if it is using a super effective move.'

Meeting the Sneasel in the middle the Sneasel puts out one hand with an dark energy around it hitting me in the shoulder while I Scratch it using my two front legs on its torso. Then I bite it in the arm before it can pull its arm back.

'I couldn't infuse any energy into my bite but its good enough!' I then bring back up my claws and rapidly scratch the belly and torso of the Sneasel while it tries and fails to remove me from its arm. Putting me full body weight on it the Sneasel falls allowing me to get on top of it.

biting down on the Sneasel's neck after having it fall on its back I use my claws to dig into its back to hold myself in place as I slowly drain its blood after puncturing it with my claws. After 2 minutes of Sneasel no longer responding I get up and look around. "Damn another one... Strangely I feel fine usually I would be feeling empty after killing something, but I'm fine. Maybe its my body and physical mind that's calming me down... But I will never get used to killing a Pokemon."

Walking to the back of the cave I hear another sound similar to a baby? Moving to the back in the shadows of the cave hidden by some ice and snow an extra small room that was probably artificially created. Looking into the room I see multiple... Pokemon eggs.

"Fuck...."
