The sudden message from the system startled me as it had been quiet sihis m. Soon however, I didn't pay attention to it again as I felt I was burning up from the inside as well. I decide it is probably best to rush home, so I take off running back to the house. As I ran by people I got a feard stares as no one in Pallet is ever in a rush, but here I was running like I had a pack of Spearows on my ass. The heat in my body and around me was starting to get unbearable and each breath I took felt like it took in less and less air.
By the time I reached the house my body was covered in sticky sweat and soaked all my clothes causing them to g to my skin. I ran upstairs to the shower and turned on the shower. The water still felt hot even as I just tur on so I tur as cold as possible before jumping into the shower, clothes and all. Onder the water, my overheating body didn’t start to cool down but it didn’t get any hotter thankfully.
I took the moment when my temperature stabilized to strip out of my wet clothes, just tossing them on the floor. Slowly the cooler temperature of the water, which still felt like bath water to me, started to y body and I no longer felt like I was being burned alive. With a more rational mi I decided I might as well treat this as a normal shower and opened my eyes to grab my body soap and loofa and noticed when I stretched out my hand that it was covered in nasty bck droplets and my nistered a smell that made a Grabodor smell like roses. I started to gag at the smell and quickly resumed my ing, trying to scrub the droplets and smell off my body.
After what seemed like forever, I finally stepped out of the shower, my skin all red from the scrubbing. I picked up my clothes from the floor, where they had left a puddle of water but luckily none of the foul smelling sweat I just ed off myself and tossed them into the wash to be ed ter. I grabbed a towel from a staearby to dry myself but I noticed that I was no longer wet as I had seemed to dry in the short time since I had stopped out of the shower.
“Right so, now I dry in seds. That’s ve yet still weird. Then again, everything has been weird since I woke up.” Shrugging, I ed myself iowel before heading towards my room. After closing my door I tossed the towel onto my desk chair and colpsed onto the bed, sprawled out spread eagle. “So, what the hell just happened?” I ask to my ceiling, not expeg an ao one of my many questions I had floating in my mind. Maybe I should check my Status, it seemed to be the only thing that could give me any kind of clue.

“Hm, the only thing that has ged seems to be my bloodline is now active…” as I spoke my eyes suddenly opened wide and I gave myself a genuine face-palm. “Of course! That’s what that bck, foul smelling crap was! It was fug impurities in the body, this always happens in Wuxia webnovels when their bloodline is activated. Just great, it’s not just Pokemon that I o worry about, but cultivators as well?” I sighed heavily in dread of what might be in store for me. Will I o battle Pokemos, battle Young Masters and their aor’s aor from thousands of years ago that has enough strength to kill me before they die? Will I get a harem of jade beauties that cause everyoo be jealous and attack me? I y eyes and ugh with a touch of insanity in my void some tears leaking down my face. Just what am I going to do?
After calming down from my mild spat of deliriousness, I focus ba the icy blue box still in my vision. I try to foy bloodline, hoping for an expnation this time and it seems that I lucked out this time.

As I read the description that popped up for me, my eye started to twit irritation. Is it too much to ask to be fortable at normal temperatures? I sigh in frustration at my ge from what used to be normal for me. Well this is the new normal for me, everyone used to say being normal was b, I guess I live that now. I dismiss the s from my vision and just y on the bed in ption on what I am going to do. First, I am going to o check up on the ges from what I know about Pokemon. I wasn’t much of a gamer, nor did I watch most of the series so a lot of my knowledge is g pared to those M webhat seem to know everything about their world. I feel lucky that I even know about this world!
I o find some sort of meditation teique. I know in passing that most Aura users meditate at least a little bit, so that should help me with mine. Lastly, I figure that I o train myself in various skills. If what I heard from the television is correct, I have two years to learn various skills such as survival, first aid, martial arts, tactics, cooking and Pokemon care. If this world is anything like some of those webnovels where it is on to die a hurt, I am really going to o learn how to defend myself. While I y there, arranging my thoughts, I gradually drift off to sleep.
*~*~*~*
In the m, I am awoken by the unpleasa from the sun directly warming up a small paty still naked body. Luckily I had remembered to lock my door before ying down as I fell asleep on top of my covers as that was the most fortable way. I grumble slightly as I roll out of the sunlight a out of bed before heading to the dresser to find something I could wear. It’s not like I could go out hat would cause people to be ed and I don’t hose awkward looks or possible trouble that would e from it.
Looking through my clothes I frown at my choices. Everything covers a lot of skin or is made from heavier fabribat the cooler temperatures of the Kantion. As I dig through my clothes I finally find something I should be able to wear, a pair of denim booty shorts that will show off my legs and a red and white pid tank top. I also found a set of underwear in a light cy fabric white in color with blue snowfkes on it. I put everything on and tie the tank top on the back to cause my stomach to show and I pull my long hair into a high ponytail, leaving one blue and one white bang to frame my face. I check myself over in the mirror and nod thinking I look cute.
I head downstairs to get myself some breakfast and to see if anyone else is home. Looking around I find no one and acc to my memories, this is not rare. Grandpa Oak spends most of his time at his b and ranch taking care of and researg the various Pokemon housed there. May is off in anion w as an archeologist so she is rarely home. From what I recall, the st time she was home was two years ago. Gary oher hand runs off to who knows where every day and es home te every night. This only started happening a few months ago so I think he has gotten himself a girlfriend. Well, good for him, I just hope that he doesn’t do the same as his anime terpart and take his girlfriends to cheer for him like a Young Master. If he does do that, I might o knoe seo him. If I o fight Young Masters iure I will not allow my twin brother to be one of them.
I grab a bowl of cereal before sitting down at the table and turning oelevision to the o get an idea of ret events that are going on. As I watch the news, I find it to be just as b as it was oh. Is it a universal thing to make news some of the driest tent to try and absorb? Anyways, the news reported on some petition winners, information about whipany has which sdal happening to it, some minor damage caused by a group of Machops in an unfinished building whiearly brought it down. All in all, basic stuff for the news.
Once I finished eating, I turned off the television and ed up my dishes before deg to head outside again. This time I am in much lighter clothes and aware of what may happen. I made sure to grab a couple ice packs from the freeze just in case. Stepping outside into the cooler m air, I still notice that it feels overly warm to me. It’s not quite unfortable, so I will just o learn to deal with this. It will only get worse before it gets better after all. I o teach myself how to ignore disfort, or learn how to mitigate it like you do when you put your hair in a yle or move somewhere where the climate is different. You o train your brain to your new normal.
Now that I am not dying to the heat, I take in the sleepy little town of Pallet. There are only about two dozen different houses here and most of them have older couples that live there. In my own age group, there are only three children that are the same age; forever ten Ash Ketchum, my brary and myself. There used to be a fourth kid e named Leaf Green but she randomly disappeared a few years ago, the same time my parents in this world passed away in an act. I was never informed what type of act, but seeing as hoa never mentions it, it must have been a pretty bad one.
After my stroll around town and waving to everyohat I saw, a dowo living in a small unity where everyone knows you, I headed back to the house to begin my resear the world, the different skills I need and whatever iing information I could find.
