As more aura poured into the gss, ges began to unfold. The once-clear water took on a soft pink hue, deepening into a rich purple color. Larry watched closely, expeg that to be the end of it—until the floating leaf began to curl inward. Slowly, it sank toward the ter of the gss, where it stopped, f a perfect sphere. The surface of the leaf took on a crystalline sheen, intricate patterns appearing on it, resembling the letter "M."
Larry's eyes widened slightly. From his perspective, the strange crystal ier bore an uny resembo a Poké Ball—no, more specifically, a Master Ball. With the purple liquid around it, the resembnce was striking.
After double-cheg that no further ges were happening, Larry withdrew his hands a out a slow breath. A knowing smile crept onto his face. ‘So it’s a Specialist-type ability after all...’
In Nen cssification, there are six primary categories, each determihrough the Water Divinatio. Enha is identified when the volume of the water increases, indig the ability tthen or improve the natural properties of oneself or objects.
Transmutation is revealed wheaste of the water ges, with each user produg a unique fvor, signifying the ability to alter the properties of their aura to mimic different substances or effects. juration mas when a materialized object appears withier, representing the ability to create tangible structs from aura.
Emission is indicated by a ge ier’s color, refleg the ability to project aura away from the body while maintaining trol. Manipution is showhe leaf floating on the surface moves unnaturally, suggesting an aptitude for trolling objects or living beings.
Finally, if the result of the test does not fit into any of the five standard categories, the user is cssified under Specialization, a rare and uable category that grants abilities outside the ventional framework of Nen.
Characters like Kurapika, Chrollo, and Pakunoda are well-known Specialist-type Nen users in Hunter x Hunter. Uher Nen categories, Specialization does not follow a fixed pattern and often incorporates traits from multiple types, making it highly uable.
Kurapika, for example, naturally belongs to the juration category, but when his Scarlet Eyes activate, he shifts to Specialization, granting him the rare ability to wield all Nen categories with 100% proficy. Chrollo Lucilfer, as a Specialist, possesses the unique ability Skill Hunter, which allows him to steal and use the Nen abilities of others, effectively granting him access to abilities across different categories. Simirly, Pakunoda’s Psyetry ability lets her read and transfer memories through Nen-infused bullets, a power that does not to any of the standard categories, reinf the enigmatiature of Specialization.
At first, Larry suspected he might belong to the Emission category wheiced the water's color ge during the Water Divinatio. However, as the test tinued, a series of uransformations occurred, solidifying his suspi—he was indeed a Specialist. Thinking it through, Larry realized that his "Pokémon Master" ability seamlessly incorporated elements from multiple Nen categories.
The influenanipution was evident in how he could and his Pokémon in battle and analyze them through his Pokédex, exerting trol over their as and abilities. The traits of Emission became clear in the way his Pokémon could freely enter a his body, funing simirly to being stored in Poké Balls, a hallmark of projected Nen energy.
Finally, the presence of juration was undeniable, as the Pokémon he summoned were tangible, indepe beings that could be seen and ied with by others, even those who did not possess Nen.
The plexity aility of his ability left no doubt—Larry was a true Specialist, possessing a unique power that blended multiple categories in a way that defied ventional Nen cssification.A chill ran down his spine. If what he was thinking was correct, then his ability was far more powerful aile than he had inally thought. Was the rumor true? That Specialists were the rarest and most uable of all Nen users?
Now that he had firmed his Nen category, the step was clear—Larry o train in the four fual principles of Nen. Mastering these core teiques was essential to building a solid foundation, ensuring that he could make full use of his abilities.
The first principle, Ten, involved fog and maintaining a stant flow of aura around the body, preventing it from dissipating and providing passive defe was the basis for all other eiques, promoting loy aance agaiernal tacks. The sed principle, Zetsu, required shutting off one's aura pletely, rendering oneself uable to those using aura dete teiques. It was an invaluable skill for stealth and recovery, though it left the user vulnerable to direct attacks.
The third principle, Ren, focused on enhang and intensifying one's aura, unleashing it in powerful bursts to amplify strength and presence. If Ten was about accumution, then Ren was about release—allowing for stronger offensive and defensive capabilities. Finally, Hatsu, the most personal of the four, was the maion of one’s unique Nen ability, influenced by personality, experiences, and goals.
Among them, Larry decided to prioritize Ren, followed closely by Ten. Ren's practical application—Gyo, which alloerson to trate their aura into their eyes—was essential. Without it, he wouldn’t be able to see other Nen users’ auras, which put him at a serious disadvantage. After all, if he couldn't see his oppo’s moves, how could he and his Pokémon effectively?
Ten, oher hand, was crucial for maintaining trol. Not only did it serve as a foundation for further teiques, but it also helped preserve aura within the body, ily enhang loy and physical health.
pared to other Nen users who had to master all four fuals step by step, Larry had an easier path. Since his bat style focused on anding Pokémon rather than diregagement, he could skip exteraining isu and Hatsu for now. Still, training was important, but… Larry's gaze drifted toward the luxurious, plush hotel bed. "Eh, I'll start practig tomorrow."
The day, Larry slept in until nearly noon. After a hearty meal, he finally got around to preparing for his training. He had a clear goal in mind. His life ba Earth had been tough —now that he had a golden opportunity in this world, he had no iion of grinding endlessly like some hardcore protagonist in a typiovel. Seeking out a master like Biscuit Krueger for hellish training? No thanks.
Larry knew his limits. Long-term, rigorous training wasn’t his style, and he doubted he'd have the dedication to e. Instead, he po take things at his own paough to stay alive, but without overexerting himself. "Pokémon Master" as a Nen ability erfect for him. All he had to do was travel, participate is, and Pokémon would practically e to him. A passive power-up system suited him just fine.
Before diving into his training, though, there was something else he o check first. Soon, a hotel staff member brought him the m neer. Larry's eyes immediately darted to the tht er, where the date read 1998. A smirk tugged at his lips.
