I won't lie and say that I didn't sigh in relief as the cold water rolled off my skin during my rinse. Hell I'll feely admit that I very much did. Perhaps very few people truly uand the relief that cool water on sunburnt salt and dirt encrusted skin brought but I did at this moment. While it was fairly pointless I also did a light soapless wash of my clothes as well ier before I put them ba. The wetness of my clothes helped keep me cool as Gaia and I left the area to find more oppos for her.-

  I don't know if I mentio already but Hoenn was as hot and humid as Satan's balls after sex. It certainly didn't help that gnats , yes normal bugs existed here , swarmed around me relentlessly. Gaia at least found my stant swatting and irritable cursing amusing as we walked through the shade of the forest. We found a few a few different pokemon during the hree hours of being local tyrants and attag anything that looked at us funny. Jokes aside I was surprised to see that there were members of the Treecko species and some of those from ions as well such as a single spearow.-

  'I khat Kanto and Johto were near each other but not that Hoenn was as well.' I thought ied. 'Appraise' I used the ability of the system to check each of the members of the Treecko species I saw but none of them stood out to me. 'I'll wait until I either find an irresistible pokemet properly settled supply wise before I try and expand my team.' I decided before having Gaia challehe nearby pokemon to a "friendly" spar.-

  She was quickly gettier at trolling the level of damage she did to her vic-cough- oppos. At the end of our three haia barely mao hit level ten as it was getting harder and harder to get a det challe of the weak nearby pokemon. That was actually an iing take on exp as it actually had nothing to do with the level of her oppo nor was is some set amount but rather whether or not she got a det challe of it. She didn't even have an exp bar so I assume that her level is based on how good at bat she and her oppos were.-

  [gratution on pleting a quest! You received Barefoot adaptation , Legal I.D , 1x random skill ticket]

  The moment Gaia hit level ten I got this notification and celebrated for all of about two seds before screaming and falling to the ground. As I was quickly finding out rapid adaptation is FUG PAINFUL! Imagiing stung by a yellow jacket and then multiply it by three and spread it all over the bottom of your feet including your toes , that was what I felt as the system gave me my "rewards".-

  Thankfully it ended in only a minute as otherwise I am pretty sure I would have suffocated to death. I like any reasonable person had screamed out my entire air supply and was locked into a silent scream afterwards until the pain ended. Gasping down as much air as I possibly could with Gaia watg on ed I angrily pulled off my tattered socks to make sure it was worth the suffering I just ehere at the bottom of my feet was a yer of thick dark callus not unlike hard leather.-

  It was on every part of my feet that could possibly touch the ground including the pads of my toes and was solid to the touch. Standing up I stored away my socks in my bag and looked at Gaia "I'm fi was just a temporary thing I promise." I said reassuringly in my broken on. I was quickly gettier at the nguage after totally dropping english for it when I spoke. I still had to stop myself from switg back when I spoke but was otherwise using it exclusively. Walking around a bit I marveled at how much easier it had bee now that every step didn't hurt.-

  Now that I had the right feet for the job it was now time to head up the mountain in searetal. What her I nor anyone else in this world realized though was that the moment my rewards were given every database in the world suddenly had a ry that only taihe barest minimum amount of information in it to be legal. Not even the digital pokemon guarding these secure servers were aware that a ge had happened. Maybe iure would someone would get suspicious but for now all seemed normal.-

  "Let's head up the mountain Gaia , maybe we'll find some stronger oppos for you." I said and her eyes lit up "Larvitar!" she said excitedly. After leaving the forest I briefly stopped by our cave to feed the sm fire so it was still alive wheurned in about three hours when the sun started to drop. The mountain was steep and treacherous but thanks to Gaia's digging ability she made us a sloping path going up at an a was just wide enough that you didn't o g to the mountain wall to walk it.-

  This was because Gaia was rather wide and so made her path to fit her which fit me perfectly. I learned something both irritating and iing in the process of her making this path. Gaia as it turned out was a metal tooth which is to say she LOVED to eat metal. I learhis because after we eventually found a vein of iron she proceeded to eat it with reckless abandon like a child given free reiheir Halloween dy. I was unfortunately only able to save a few impure fist sized pieces of the stuff from the deeper part of the vein that she ripped out with her cws.-

  We didn't find any pokemon up here however which upset Gaia a bit as she enjoyed growing stronger. Speaking of whe level ten she learhe move screech which was basically an upgraded version of the move leer that she already had in that it lowered defeats. How it did that was beyo it did so it was useful. Iingly that whole fetting a move thing from the games was totally bullshit iy as she could still use all five of her moves without an issue.-

  As we traveled further up the mountain and Gaia was digging out a path she actually punched a hole into a cave system in the process. To say I was excited at the idea would be an uatement as an unexplored cave basically guaranteed good stuff as every treasure within was totally undisturbed by people. I of course had Gaia fully open us up arance which prompted a new quest to drop.
