All right, Chimchar! You've learned fire punch, which is good, but it's still clunky. You don't have great mastery over it. The charge-up time is too long, and the power is too low. Let's try to improve this. When you use the punch, I want you to imagine the flames like a glove. Feel the warmth surrounding your fist, the power, and the heat. Tighten it, shrink it around your fist. Chimchar closes his eyes, and flames flicker to life on his fist. They start to shrink and take shape on his fist. After 8 seconds, the flames cling to his fist like a second skin. Chimchar opens his eyes and slams it on the ground, cratering and cracking the ground. The flames scorch the ground, charring the rocks. Ding! Chimchar has learned fire punch: level 2! Good job! I pat his head. You're doing a great job and learning fast. Next time you use flame fist, try to form it faster and turn up the heat. Most of the power from that punch came from the energy reinforcing your arm and fist. I give him a fist bump and turn to Ditto. All right, Ditto, transform into me! Ditto nods and grows skin, shifting, turning pale, bright blond, long hair sprouts from its head, and two cerulean eyes form on its head. Good job! Flawless as always. I crouch slightly to make this fair. I won't use my cane sword. Ditto nods. I pick up a pebble. All right, I'm going to throw this in the air when it hits the ground. That's when we go bit clique, but it works! I toss the pebble in the air. Click! I throw a punch, and Ditto mirrors my move. I grab his arm and toss him over my shoulder. You're good at copying, but that's not what we're practicing. You most copy, adapt, improve, and crush! Ditto stands up, and I throw a punch. Ditto mirrors my move, but I feel my arm getting pushed back a bit. I grin and launch a barrage of punches. Ditto meets my punches with equal force. Ding! Ditto has learned a new move! This move will copy the target and start to process and understand the opponent. After fully analyzing the move, the user's copied move will increase in power and mastery by 10 percent. This boost will only last the duration of the bat.TL;DR: After the battle, the user will forget the move if they've copied it before. This allows them to analyze the move faster. Even though they forget it after some knowledge, some will remain in their mind before I can process the information. Ditto Barrage overwhelms mine and slams into me! I fall to the ground. Ditto returns to its original form and the battle ends. No, I'm fine. If I wasn't prepared to be hurt, I wouldn't have sparred with you. I pat his head. That move, though broken to the max, is still effective as long as the gap in power isn't too big, and you get enough time. You're practically unbeatable. I smile and pat it later. Go to Chimchar and spar with it to practice your move. I think we'll name that move Mirror Ding. Move Name: Mirror Level: 1 I get brushed by the grass and walk over to Dreepy. How's the move coming, Dreepy? Dreepy floats over dejectedly. You haven't learned it, mm. Let me see. Dreepy's tail glows, and he swings it down before the energy fizzles out. You're not controlling it enough when you're launching the energy. You don't launch it all at once. You launch it at the tip of the tail to the base. Although it's a slight delay, it could cause your energy to hit each other and cancel out the attack. Work on launching it all at once, and you'll be golden. Head inside and pull out the laptop. Back to the grind. I click on to a familiar site. Yes, the very site that I made. It's seen no visits since that boy with his Eevee. So, I've done some reworking. I've changed the site so much that it can barely be called the same site. First, I changed the purpose. I've made it so that users will click the site, make an account, and be loaded into the home page where they can put up requests, like for example, escort me through Vermilion Forest. Then, they set a price and difficulty of the quest, going from E to SS. Then, other people can come along and pick up jobs based on their strength. For example, a novice trainer can do E and D rank jobs. This also brings me to the trainer ranks: beginner or no gym badges, novice.Two or gym badges: Intermediate trainer. Four gym badges: This separates normal trainers from the true ones. Most people fail here. Advanced trainers: Six trainer finalist trainers: Eight gym badges. One of the requirements to becoming a gym leader, and this is the peak for almost every trainer. Most clans and powerful organizations only have a handful of elite four-level trainers in every region. There is only a select few you could count on your fingers and have some to spare. Champion trainer: This is the cream of the crop, the best of the best. Regions would be lucky if there were more than two at a time. It's said that these people have the power to destroy the world, master the title. All trainers aspire for the peak. Only one person in the world has this title. Tight now: Professor Samuel Oak. This man is said to be a monster in human skin. His mere presence is enough to make regions tremble. Everyone fears and respects him. Finally, it's said that only Arceus has this level of power, enough to create and destroy multiverses.

Hope you all liked the chapter. Finally came out with a ranking system. Might tweak it later. Also, for those getting bored, don't worry, the action will ramp up in the next few chapters.
