10 With Great Power Comes... Well, No Responsibilities (1/2)

Until I saw that I grew a horn I didn't even think about the possibility that I could be evolving.

I just thought that G.o.d just somehow threw me into this world. I already thought that I had nothing special to me, different from all those normal Isekai Stories.

It's awesome knowing that I have some kind of power. I don't know how it works yet but having it is already nice enough.

Finding out how it works is just a matter of time now.

Guessing by my horn it seems to have a connecting with the Pokémon I hunt, now it's just about finding out if I need to eat them or if it's enough to defeat them. Does something trigger the evolution though? I mean why does my body grow a horn and not small Weedle Legs?

Well unless I know for sure better not eat anything weird. I don't want to end up as some Mutant dog with 5 Eyes and 7 Legs.

Anyway, let's check out this beach! WHOOH I'm hyped! Finally something different than forest.

I also need to check out that Island sometime soon. Well, as soon as I figured out how to swim well with this body. I saw dogs swimming in my previous life but that doesn't mean I can do it on the spot,... does it?

I wander down the beach the forest to my left a few meters away. Not to close to the hedges and bushes, because I don't want to get surprised by anything coming out of the forest. But still close enough to hide in the forest as soon sh*t hits the fan.

I have seen some Wingulls already but I'm excited to see what kind of Pokémon are living at the beach and Water, obviously Water-Types but which Pokémon exactly?

Come to a part of the beach where there are more big rocks lying around, so I do the only logical thing and decide to jump from rock to rock not touching the sand. What can I say I'm still human on the inside, although ”The floor is lava” is a dead meme, we all played like this as kids.

As I manage to land on the 6th rock in a row I spot some Pokémon about 40 Meters away, I get closer and manage to see what kind of Pokémon they are.

A bunch of 7 Buizels are chilling in the sand close to the water. As I come close I see that there are 3 Floatzels swimming in the water, Floatzels the evolved form of Buizel. They are considerably stronger than the average Buizel, so if I go after them, later on, they will pose quite the challenge. All of them are Weasel like Pokémon with brown fur and a lighter colored belly, they have 2 Tails. The two Tails are used for propelling themselves forward, while their flotation sac around their neck keeps their head over water.

They look adorable but because their water attribute isn't bad and they don't have more or fewer legs then me they will go onto my list of potential food sources.

But for now, let's see which Pokémon live at this Lake. My focus s.h.i.+fts back towards the rocks and because I stopped I completely lost momentum. So I step off the rock and take a few steps back, to start my jumping game again.

I kinda miss my video games, but being inside a game universe isn't that bad either. I really have to say it's quite exciting. Well obviously it is, I nearly died once and ever Meal is a fight to the death if you don't count a healthy vegetarian berry diet. I never was a vegetarian or vegan in my human life so being one here is only fairly more difficult.

Sure I have to kill the animals I eat here by myself, but I somehow already got used to it, it's just that I have to do it to survive. It's not like I can just skip my meals.

I get back onto the rocks and continue my journey. The wind blows through the leaves on the trees and the palm trees bend in the breeze. In front of some rocks, small miniature whirlwinds start to form. I hop from rock to rock it's working perfectly for me.

After about an hour I begin to see a spot with more palm trees in the distance. Some more rocks surround the small place that looks like an oasis, well if you ignore the rest of the environment around here the forest and the lake.

I close in and after 2 minutes I walk towards the palm trees and jump up the rocks to see what lays behind.

As I creep carefully over the rocks and peek over the highest one if see a bunch of Oshawotts and Dewotts. Those are Pokémon I'm not all too familiar with because they are out of a newer generation. And I already was a bit too old to watch the Pokémon Anime. Ash Ketchum and Friends just were way too dumb sometimes for me not to cringe.

Anyway, they look cute with their small sh.e.l.ls on their bellies and hips. Well, Dewotts look a bit cooler but still, if I was as big as I was as a human I could only think of them as cute. Right now the Dewotts seem to be around 7 to 12 centimeters taller than me. It's not much since they walk on 2 legs and no on 4 like me but enough for me to think of them as less cute in my new body.

I only have one problem now, the problem being that I really don't know how to fight them. Both of the Pokémon groups I saw live in packs. Sure I defeated some Bug-Type Pokémon. Overall around 50 Pokémon if I remember correctly. My level should have tripled by now. Which still wouldn't be much. I felt a storm of power after my wins if I didn't forget one it should have been around 9 by now. That means I'm about level 9, 10, 11 maybe even 12 depending on how strong I was when I was ”born”.

[I guess I should continue with the a.s.sa.s.sin strategy for now, at least until I defeat one of the packs. Either the Buizels or Oshawotts. But first ... mealtime. It's a beach there should be some fish Pokémon here somewhere. Even though I only want to hunt Pokémon that won't let me look r.e.t.a.r.ded after I .... a.s.similated them? a.s.similation? Can I say it like that? Makes sense in my eyes...

I want to eat something and a.s.sa.s.sinations in the daylight don't seem possible with all those eye pairs that can see me.

So the easiest way to food is to fish for it.]

I climb and jump down the rocks ignoring the Oshawotts and friends for now. I skip over to the water. I already made plans to how I want to catch some fish.

I reach the water and go for a swim. I hold out my tongue to find out if it's salt water of fresh water. This doesn't count toward my strategy, I'm just curious. It's fresh water that means I can drink it! Nice.

So I take my quick bath it's been the first bath in this life so it's really needed that I finally take one. Now I continue with my food plan. I step into more shallow water, I guess the swim has pulled some of the attention of fish Pokémon which is a nice bonus.

I fully stretch once dip my Tail into the water and swing it from the left to the right side.

About 5 minutes go by. And I get a Bite! Quite shocking to be honest, I mean literally I feel a shock. Anyway!

I start sprinting towards land as long as I still feel the bite. It hurts but it's nothing compared to the bug bite I got from Caterpies.

[I guess I got stronger or these Pokemon are just really weak?]

I reach the sh.o.r.e, I guess I'm a lot slower in the water then I was as a human. Shorter legs and walking with four legs really show their effect now.

The fish fought, whatever it is I still haven't looked behind, all my energy went into sprinting forward.

I sprint a few more meters towards land, towards the forest and stop. Fish really shouldn't be able to do anything on land. I look back and spot a white fish. A small white fish, it's tiny to be more exact.
