It's heavy, but that much is to be expected between the weight of the steel and her realistic pain threshold settings. She can get used to it, she can work with it, although the added weight means that for a while she probably won't be as agile as she'd like.
Unless...
Armoured, the Alchemist walks through the Surging Steppes, pointed sabatons stepping upon soft grass. In her hands, she carries her spear, ready for a fight. Ready for war. Ready to test this new gear of hers.

She has no Pokémon with her. Not this time. It's just Tuesday and her spear hunting for dragons and steel terrors alike. Yes, they're one literal click away if she were to need them, but she tells herself it won't come to that.
It can't.
She needs to do this on her own.
That's the goal, after all: to be able to always fight without relying on the help of Pokémon. A goal many would say defeats the purpose of the Pokémon franchise, but when has Tuesday been one to care for what other people think is right? As always, she does whatever the hell she wants.

"Not good enough." Tuesday declares, passing sentence on the first Pokémon she sees on the plains: a Doduo that is clearly as unworthy of her spear as it is of fighting her.
She continues to walk, clad in heavy steel, every step resounding. Should do something about that. But, how does one get an armour to move silently? As she walks, Tuesday considers possible improvements, her gaze scanning her surroundings.

She gestures with her left hand, palm up to summon her UI, and after a few clicks with her right, a leatherbound notebook and a pencil appear in her open hand — Tuesday's journal.
In this journal of hers, Tuesday takes notes, considering every possible upgrade that she could make to this armour prototype of hers.
A better smithy would do wonders...
Of course, even Tuesday can't have everything she wants... or can she?

The sound of squawking makes her look up from the journal, but it's just a Rufflet perched on a spire. Tuesday has no idea how it got up there (probably a Braviary's nest?) and she also doesn't care much... a baby bird is also not a worth opponent, not matter how bloodthirsty Rufflet might usually be.
So, she doesn't reach for her spear, continuing to walk down the Steppes.

It will likely be a very long walk. A walk perhaps too long to be wearing such heavy gear. Is that something she should fix? But, how can she make sure the armour is durable while also being light and easy to move in?
Those are more things to consider. More things to put to the test.

The sight of a nearby Nosepass brings reminders of one she had sacrificed long ago and deemed garnish. It had been a hilarious joke at the time, and to be completely honest, it still is.
However, a garnish is far from a worthy opponent in Tuesday's eyes, and so the Nosepass is ignored and she continues with her hunt.

She gives her spear a spin, testing what it feels like to wield it while armoured. She jabs the air once, she jabs the air twice, and then she decides that in the spirit of the Roman pilum, the immovable spear might be better off as a javelin... If she manages to perfect her throwing aim, that is. It's generally pretty good, but throwing a spear is just a different beast.
Still... Throwing it at an opponent, giving the command to for it to become immovable, and then charging in with a Honedge in hand? How's that for strategy! Of course, there's still the matter of acquiring said Honedge, but Tuesday is working on it.

Should she try practicing her spear-throwing aim? Maybe. Why not, right? Plus, there just so happens to be a Doduo nearby!
Looking at the two-headed bird, Tuesday squints, putting her right foot in front of the left and adjusting her grip. She runs and then throws, watching her spear sail through the air until stabbing the ground a couple of metres away from the Doduo. Terrified by the sudden metal stick jabbed into the ground, the Doduo runs away, and Tuesday clicks her tongue at the sight.
"Close, but it needs to be better." She tells herself, sighing before going to retrieve her weapon.

At least she had managed to throw the spear far enough, right? She had only been off by a few metres, so there's that. It'll take some work, but she'll get there, and then, once she's finally an armourer, Tuesday and her Pokémon will be unstoppable.
That's the goal.
That's always the goal.
When taking the spear back, she inspects it for damage and looks around, searching for a new target.

The loud buzzing of wings alerts Tuesday of the presence of an approaching Yanma, and so she readies her spear one more time. Can she really hit a moving, aerial target? Maybe! She sure as hell will try!
She runs, she throws, and...
The spear doesn't fly high enough. Total miss. Tuesday clicks her tongue one more time.

Yet again, she walks to grab her spear, which wouldn't be a big deal if this armour weren't so damn heavy. Tuesday is sure that if she were to just leave the spear there, it would eventually return to her inventory, but walking does help her get used to this new gear.
Could probably also do something about mobility, though... She thinks. Being able to be agile in combat is always good, isn't it?

There's another Rufflet nearby, but Tuesday makes the wise decision that that's definitely too small of a target for now, even to practice. Confident and ever so proud as she might be, she also knows well that to become great at something, one must work hard to improve. Trying to hit a Rufflet when she can't even hit a Doduo yet won't help her cause.
Spear in hand, she continues walking, her gaze scanning the plains.

Improve the armour. Improve her spear throwing technique. What else? Maybe another weapon... something small to wield in close combat if needed. If she doesn't have the spear with her, no Honedge, and not even Ancile.
A dagger, maybe? A short sword? She does have that Moltres egg shard still.
Ideas fill Tuesday's mind while she wanders through the plains, a slight smirk tugging at her lips.

"Hm... That might do." A Mareep is far from a decent opponent in her eyes, but it is good target practice, and so she readies her spear for the third time now.
She runs, she throws, and just when it seems like she might actually hit her target, the damn Mareep moves. "FUCK!"
Not so easy, is it?
