I wake feeling so much better than before.
Things are looking up as I don’t wake up with my limbs stuck at awkward angles.
I have a sleeping Piranha next to me who didn’t try to eat me in my sleep, Positive!
I have no hands, Negative.
I have awesome supernatural powers, Positive!
The majority of things in this area are stronger than me and will eat me for lunch, Negative.
There are no cookies… NEGATIVE!!!
The raw scallops are as large as 100 normal world ones, Maximum Positive.
That one positive outweighs all negatives in a heartbeat.
Every… single… damn… time.

Sparky POV
Sparky wakes feeling rested. Her new companion is strange to say the least. But it sure beats being alone and she knows too well what it is like to be different.
Honestly she was surprised he wanted her in his team. She was an abomination of nature. But then again he wasn’t a normal looking Seel. Definitely a little runt with strange purple colours.
However she knew how deceiving his looks were. He was the strongest and smartest Pokémon she had ever encountered, and to top it all off he was at a lower level than her.
FLASHBACK.
A swarm of Carvanha chases down and attacks some Tynamo. The higher levels of the Tynamo mean little to the Carvanha, their electric attacks emitted from the Tynamo however do help kill the Carvanha in droves. But not nearly enough to take them all down.
It’s a battle of attrition and once the Tynamo run out of juice their lives are forfeit. Sharp teeth shredding into their flesh. Ripping them apart one piece at a time.
SPARKY goes in for a few choice morsels and gets zapped in the process. She takes minor damage but it still hurts.
A FEW DAYS LATER IN THE FLASHBACK:
The Swarm of Carvanha gets attacked by some higher level Totodile.
The Totodile’s scales are too tough for the swarm to effectively deal with at their level. They are just food.
The Totodile continue to attack her pack and a group of Carvanha including herself circle into a tight ball to try to defend themselves.
This has no effect as the ball gets picked apart almost as if it is a game for the juvenile Totodile.
The ball continues to decrease in size, more Carvanha injured in the process.
SPARKY is desperate and feels a familiar sensation to when she got zapped a few days earlier.
She reached inside and pulls out the feeling with her eyes shut tight in focus.
She releases the charge multiple times. DING- SPARK learned.
She opens her eyes in joy only to realize that not only are the Totodile that were attacking her dead, but her siblings are also floating around her, all dead due to her.
She is sad and makes her way over to her surviving siblings. At least she can protect the rest of the pack with this new ability.
She approaches her remaining family who proceed to flee from her in all directions. She is no longer a part of the pack. They fear her too much to allow her anywhere near them ever again.
Forever alone.
FLASHBACK ENDS
“Hey SPARKY can you come over here for a second?”
*Sure, what’s wrong? Want to teach me how to electrocute you in more useful ways?*
“Hehehe, no not today at least. Hopefully… not ever. I was wondering if you know what these ice things in the water are?”
*Probably just shards of ice-bergs that have some air in them causing them to float, I’m not really sure.*
Sounds good enough to me. We proceed through a large swarm of these ice lumps. The water starts to get colder and colder. It’s even uncomfortable to me with my Thick Fat ability. Something just doesn’t feel right.
“Hey SPARKY hold up a second, something is off. I’m freezing over here.”
*Yeah me too, more so than normal”
I take a moment to follow the feeling of cold and then realize that it’s emanating from the ice lumps.
I inspect the lump closely and notice that the lump is inspecting me right back with yellow eyes buried deep down within the ice of its body.
Ohhh SHIT BERGMITES!!!… all under the water a whole swarm. Making everything super cold.
“Well Sparky those are Bergmites not ICE CUBES and I think they don’t appreciate us crashing their territory.”
*What makes you say that?*
The water around us starts to literally freeze solid. A latticework of ice shards slowly growing by the second.
I smack some out of our way with Bullet however the shards just harmlessly shatter against the Bergmites.
They glare in our direction and the ICE starts to freeze over even faster.
“Well, because of that. I think they don’t want to let us leave any more. I wasn’t too sure how Bergmites feed. Now I know. They are going to eat us like ICY POLES! RUNNNNNNN!”
With that said, we both literally turn “tail” and PROPEL away. We do our best to dodge the ICE that is forming around us as our passageway to safety slowly constricts. The ice isn’t freezing into solid pieces. Rather sharp shards of ice jut out to attempt to skewer us.
You have taken 25 HP damage from BITE.
Okay so it’s not just shards of ice now but shards of these freaking monsters teeth.
With just over 100 MP left I PROPEL out of the gap between the ice to safety. Sparky with her superior swimming level barely had to use any MP to propel herself away, what a show off. In the distance, we can hear the mournful high pitched cry of “Berg, Berg, Berg” due to their missed meal.
Well that was SHIT. I don’t think they are edible but I'm pretty pissed at almost getting eaten. Maybe we leave them with a nice parting gift? I examine the ICE WALL that has formed behind us. Yellow Eyes staring out from within.
“SPARKY do you have enough MP for a send off to the Bergmite? I feel like your send off will be greatly appreciated. Can you make sure to give them OVER NINE THOUSANDDDDD!”
*Sure thing Boss*
With that, SPARKY charges up and lets off a few SPARKS into the ICE WALL in front of us. The response is instant and oh so very satisfying. The mournful sounds turn into panicked screams of “BERG, BERGGGG, BERG!”. I watch as SPARKY mass fries the little ice cubes who can’t escape or dodge as they are trapped in ice.
Fun fact - ICE is SUPER electrically conductive especially when it has plenty of Ions and Anions which those little living critters are FULL OF.
DINGDING DING DING DING MOTHER FUCKING DINGGGG.
In comes the exp for killing oh so many of those evil little bastards.
EXP sent to the weakest Pokémon, SEEL, due to the trainer’s low level not allowing further progression of Carvanha’s level.
Seel Lvl 14>16 Bonus 2 x EXP awarded for killing multiple Pokémon in a short period of time.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“Well done SPARKY! Show those little creatures who’s supposed to be the predator and who’s the prey”
*True, but… there's nothing to eat. They just dissolved into nothing that I can see and I’m not going to go digging through that ICE WALL anyway.*
========================
SpongeBob's - A FEW MOMENTS LATER
Time passes and I revel in my TWO new levels. So freaking amazing having a Pokémon not trying to kill me.
We continue to swim around aimlessly. I don’t know if I'm heading North, East, South, West or… in circles.
Probably not the last though because I’m not thatttt bad. Oh my trusty minion has something to say to me?
She can say what she wants really. Best friend of mine. A stellar fish. Always with the literal Positive Energy - pun intended.
*Hey, umm…. I just thought I’d let you know that the ICE WALL with all the dead Bergmite.*
“Yes, that was fantastic, what about it?”
*Well…. … It’s in front of us.*
Ahh …. Whoops, lets just turn around.
We go to leave… and then the sound of angry little accusing "BERG!" can be heard.
Lol you want a round two do you, you little fuckers.
Okay Sparky lets show them who’s boss again.
We head back toward them but what we see next is certainly not what we were expecting.
Well yes we were expecting a lot of angry Bergmite however what we weren’t expecting was two massive sized LUMPs of ice moving along the ocean floor sand.
What’s worse than two angry Avalugg? Well that’s easy… four of them. Our retreat is blocked off as they are cornering us from North, East, South, West. I’m not sure which is which right now but who fucking cares. Got bigger problems.
At least they are slow in the water…. But I’ve got a familiar sensation of feeling cold. Ahh SHIT! Four simultaneous underwater blizzards originating from each Avalugg as the epicenter radiates outwards.
I didn’t want to do this but we really have no choice. We swim upwards, the Avalugg levitating upwards at a rapid pace, easily keeping up with us whilst they maintain formation and preventing us from moving in any other direction but up.
SPARKY lets off a couple blasts of electricity downwards which do some damage to the Avalugg and succeed in making them far angrier than they were before.
If they were in any doubt as to who shocked their children to death, they aren’t now.
We have no choice but to accelerate upwards. My ears pop from the rapid change in water pressure. We continue to ascend until we can ascend no more.
Why you ask?
Well, there is a sheet of ice above us.
“SPARKY I need to you blast a hole above us with as much juice as you can spare. I’ll protect you afterwards I promise.”
With that SPARKY stops moving and focuses all her energy into one humongous amount of electricity and fires it upwards.
*DING - Pokémon SPARKY has learned THUNDER BOLT - A strong electric blast crashes down on the target. This may also leave the target with paralysis. - 100 MP.*
I’m lucky the BOLT doesn't target me and zips straight past.
SPARKY is absolutely exhausted and starts to sink towards the approaching AVALUGG. Her body slowly starting to Freeze over.
However, her job is done.
I RECALL her and stare upwards.
Where there was a giant block of ice impeding my progress upwards now there is nothing but a large hole.
I PROPEL out of the water and smack onto the hard ice.
YES MADE IT!
With joy I congratulate myself on a successful escape.
Except ……
The Avalugg’s climb out of the same hole. They aren’t done and seem to have no intention of letting me off scott free since I am an accomplice to the deaths of so many of their little ice cubes.
What’s worse is they seem to have far better mobility up here than they did under the water.
I turn and face them, knowing there is nothing I can do to stop them now at this stage, I'll release SPARKY underneath the ice so she can get away before I die at the very least.
Well I had a good run in this world.
I hear the sound of barking in the distance. And then the sound of ICE shattering. I’m too busy to turn around and look at what is approaching. Either it’s something that’s going to kill me, something that’s going to save me or something that’s going to ignore me.
So I watch as the Avalugg and not myself are hit by a truly large electric bolt from the sky. And another, and another and another…… holy shit. Some god has descended from heaven?
I look at the smoking remains of the Avalugg, just puddles of ice with yellow eyes.
I turn around slowly hoping not to anger what ever mighty god has come down to earth.
I look up… and up…
I see…A device of wood with metal skates and then Pink Snow Sneakers…pink ski pants…. Purple snowjacket. The creature removed the … yep Pink goggles and head wrapping to reveal a young looking female human child.
Upon her shoulder an old yet familiar looking Pikachu. Behind her another girl in more modest white ski attire. They are on a sled pulled by a Mightyena who don’t seem to appreciate my presence. Further behind the sled much further in the distance is a giant ship breaking through the ice.
Errr… well this is interesting.
“Hi there cutie, I’m Jess, this is Anna and on my shoulder is Pikachu.”
“So… since I saved you I guess you owe me your life. So therefore you won’t mind if I make you my first capture!”
With the she proceeds to hurl a Premier ball at my injured body.
