Jinyu Refreshes

001 Gun

Herr Forehead was a gun now.

❝Yerr a cannon, Forehead!❞ and Jinyu was mighty proud of himself at his little achievement, even if all he really did was make sure that he was hitting a button daily so that he could claim enough Arena Points to buy the Move Mod. The white and orange Magikarp looked happy at least (well, as happy as a Magikarp could look, which was usually indicated from their eyes), moving his fins around to splash water in a quiet pond.

<Karp!>

❝You're right! We should test it out.❞ he was definitely projecting, but his fish was playing along, letting out another cry before facing away from his trainer and looking out at the clear and still water. Opening his mouth, a bright sphere of pure energy began to pool in front of it, and the grooves in between his scales started to glow a brilliant silver. A few seconds later, the sphere grew big enough and shot a beam of light straight ahead. Hopefully it didn't hit anything.

❝Woahhh. That's awesome!! You can knock something out real good with that!❞

Herr Forehead puffed up a little with a clear smirk on him.

❝Can you do it again?❞

<Karp?>

❝Well, we need to see how fast you can do it. Those few seconds can mean life or death, you know!❞

And that shocked the fish out of his reverie, upon realizing that his trainer was right, he was still completely exposed while he was doing the attack. It wasn't like his opponent was just going to stand there, menacingly! That started a series of Flash Cannons and a stopwatch, but it was getting clear that for every succeeding attack, it took Herr Forehead longer to charge, and before he knew it, he was flat out exhausted and almost couldn't keep his head above the water (not that it mattered, since he technically should live underwater). Still, Jinyu decided to recall him back to take a break in the Pokeball, but at least it revealed some interesting information he could use to his advantage. Like a true scientist! If only Vera could see him now.
