Let me tell you seeing a six hundred pound twelve foot tall rock monster go flying sixty feet into the air and then e crashing down is fug terrifying. Gaia thought it was the best thing ever though and the way she kept staring at the moon as she did it made me think that she was having some crazy idea about reag the damn thing. "Could you please focus on figuring out how to fun without killing someone first!" I shouted at her after she crashed into the ground the fifth time in a row.-
See while getting up in the sky was easy for her , staying up there was siderably less so. To quote on "An obje motion tends to stay in motion unless an outside force is applied". In this case Gaia fell faster than she could refill her lungs and as a result had no force to stop and reverse her fall. I had this sneaking suspi though that if she did this enough times she may actually mao figure out how to actually fly , which was a terrifying idea. you even imagine a boulder shooting through the sky? It's fug scary.-
Gaia looked entirely uant at her attempts at reag the moon but at least she started fog on adjusting to her body again. Vul looked at her like she was mental the eime she flew through the air and seemed to no longer feel bad fetting ighis was good because it meant it had left the guilt phase aered the uanding one , fast learhis one. Seeing that I had hope of actually setting Vul straight attitude wise I sat at the entrance of the cave and watched Gaia work out how to move.-
I checked her level periodically and wasn't surprised to see it slowly going back up to where it was before she evolved. By the time she called it a night at about two am she had mastered her new method of movement at the low low cost of about two football fields worth of area absolutely demolished in all dires save the cave. A worthy price to pay in my opinion but then again I might not be an unbiased source. I finally got some sleep after that in my new favorite spot on Vul's back just u's flowing mane.-
Things went fairly smoothly after that as we all woke up nid early before spending the day honing both Vul and Gaia's moves and abilities. By the way shed skin was horribly broken in my opinion as the few times Vul got off a burn status on Gaia she would just shiver off a thin yer of energy and be good to go. Iingly unlike sand veil , shed skin wasn't a passive ability but rather an active ohat required Gaia to activate it which was different from the games but made perfect sense.-
Both Gaia's abilities were fairly easy to train sihey only required her to get good at using them while Vul's inner focus ability ain in the ass to try and train. See unlike in the game where it would just passively allookemon to avoid fling it had a slightly different use iy. Fling is a rea to pain or fear iy so what the ability actually did was make it easier to ighese types of things. To put it bluntly this ability ractically hand made for masochist and as a result needed fear and pain to train.-
To aplish this I basically just had Vul and Gaia fight without any moves at all save rock polish on Gaia's part to fix her current issue with speed. Other than that the only thing worth mentioning was that Vulow had a ove of it's own just like Gaia had sand bomb. This new move was frankly broken as it was simir to mud sport in that it weakens the power of a specific type. It was called magma coat and what it did was turn the floor literally into va that cooled on top but stayed hot underh.-
This made it so that when it first was used the oppo had a ce of being burned and after it harde the top it greatly reduced the power of grass type moves until it was dispelled or the energy wore off. Not going to lie this move had fantastiergy with Gaia who had a major weako grass type moves. If it wasn't clear this move was a sort of extension from the move va plume that I suggested to Vul sin my opinion va moves were shamefully uilized.-
It fug va of all things a every game only had that one move utilize it at all which I was very offended by. Vul was also offended when I told it this fad wao fix this grave mistake personally. Gaia also had a sed ove that I found absolutely hysterical because of what it did. See the move was called stone grasp and what it did was create a giant hand out of rock that crushed whatever it was holding. It was funny because when you first looked at Gaia who has no arms s your first thought is definitely not "I should avoid letting that thing grab me".-
As a result when a huge aggressive stone hand s around you and squeezes you hard enough to turn you into a smoothie out of he expression you would likely make is hirious. Why do I know this you may be asking? Well because the face Vul made after Gaia finally pulled it off had me dying of ughter. It was this picture worthy mix of shock , fear and fusion that left it with a hirious expression. After about a week of training we were finally ready to leave the forest in my opinion.-

Each of them got some impressive upgrades all things sidered and could definitely hold their own in a fight. Since I now had the power to not be a walking target I decred that we were ready to leave this small pd truly embrace the vast world. I packed all of my stuff in my bag and they pushed the boulder in front of the cave for the final time early in the m as we began our journey into the unknown.
