I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing on the desk. I blink my eyes slowly trying to get my bearings as I reach for the infernal device that is disturbing my sleep. Seeing that it is Grandpa that is calling, my brain wakes with a start as I press the answer button while making sure not to hit the video call option.
“Good morning Frost sweetie. I hope I didn’t wake you up.” Grandpas calm voice asks warmly.
“Not at all Grandpa. Why are you calling so early? Did sothing happen with Zephyr?” I smile warmly as I reply.
“Well I am calling about your Zephyr. She is doing fantastic and was very cooperative with all the tests and I was able to get everything done ahead of ti. She is eligible to fight with you again. I have also taken the liberty to update her entry in the Pokedex with her updated information. When she evolves again I will need to check her one last ti, but right now she is the very picture of perfect health.”
I cheer loudly, waking up a sleeping Skadi who gives a grumpy look. “That’s great Grandpa! Thank you for everything! Feel free to send her over, I am ready.” The smile on my face grew even larger at the news. A mont later, a pokeball with a snowflake engraved over the button appears in my hand. I quickly release Zephyr.
“Chinder!” A cheerful call cos from my big bird.
“It sounds like she arrived successfully. I will leave it to you then. Good luck on your gym battle, I will be watching!”
“Thanks Grandpa, I will make sure to win! Have a good rest of the day!”
I hang up the phone and then give Zephyr a tight hug. We cuddle for a few monts as I enjoy the feel of her silky feathers. Once I get my fill of cuddles for the mont, I go to the Pokedex app and scan Zephyr to see the updated entry.
[Fletchinder, the Frost Fire pokemon]
[Due to exposure to high amounts of ice energy during its evolution, Fletchinder’s DNA has mutated allowing it to handle Fire-type and Ice-type energy with equal ease. Its speed right after takeoff already puts it in the top speed class of all bird pokemon. The hotter the fla sac on its belly, the faster it can fly, but it takes so ti to get the fire going.]
[This Fletchinder has the ability Thermal Exchange]
[Fletchinder knows the following moves: Growl, Peck, Defog, Quick Attack, Ember, Flail, Acrobatics, Steel Wing, Frost Breath, Heat Wave, Fla Charge, Ice Burn]
After reading through the new entry, I see that all the warnings are gone and the data is updated. I had already figured that due to my bloodline unlocking, I might have caused a change but I didn’t know it down at the DNA level. This ans that any of her offspring will be affected as well, essentially creating a new species out of a variant.
I file that information away for later as I believe I could get Grandpa to help find a contact after I beco famous enough to possibly breed Zephyr. This all depends on what happens after she evolves again. I check the ti and see that I still have a few hours before Bea’s match so I grab my workout clothes, get dressed and head down to the gym to do a light workout. After an hour passes, I head back up to my room to shower and get ready for the day.
I head down to the lobby and look around for a seat and I see Flannery and Bea already at a table eating breakfast. I quickly rush over to them and decide to sit next to Flannery, maybe a little closer than I should have but she doesn’t seem to mind how close I am.
“Morn’,” Flannery greets while covering a yawn.
“Morning Frost!” Bea greets in high spirits. It seems that she is ready to fight today, as she seems to almost vibrate in her seat from energy.
“Good morning to you too. Are you all set for your battle today Bea? You are the first one of the three of us, so you better show us how to win.”
“I’m as ready as I’ll ever be! Machop and I will kick butt and walk away with that badge!”
I smile at her enthusiasm, which cos off as cute, and take the tablet to order myself so breakfast as well. “On that note, I got a call from Grandpa this morning and Zephyr is all clear. I received her back as well. I will be all set to battle in two days.”
“That’s great Frost!” Flannery smiles and then playfully bumps my shoulder. “That ans we can have a rematch after you get your badge.”
“You got it!”
We spend the rest of the morning chatting with each other while we wait for Bea’s match at noon. Around eleven, we get up and head off to the gym. As we approach the gym we notice that there are two lines, one for challengers and one for spectators. We split from Bea and after about fifteen minutes we finally make it to the stands and I finally get to see the inside of the gym. The center of the gym is set up like a football stadium with an area about fifty percent larger than a football pitch. The stands are nearly twenty ters tall and filled with long benches instead of seats as they are ant for high amounts of traffic. {A.N. Added an image of what I sort of envision the gym to look like.}
