Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Pikachu Done! Onto the Next Pokémon!

Bickslow's Seith Magic: Human Possession was quite challenging to learn. This magic allows the caster to split off a tiny fragment of their own soul and infuse it into a doll to control it. Naturally, the caster doesn't need "full control" for this project; all that's required is for users, when activating their Pokémon, to split off a fragment of their soul to give the Pokémon a sense of life.

In this way, the Pokémon would be able to run, jump, make sounds, and even form a bond with its trainer.

By evening, under Bickslow's thorough guidance, Nate managed to learn the basics of Human Possession. Mastery of this magic would take considerably more time, but it wasn't necessary for now. Even so, Bickslow was amazed by Nate's rapid learning speed.

"This is insane! Warren told me you picked up telepathy in just two days!" Bickslow exclaimed. "I didn't believe it then, but now I do!"

Excitedly, he asked, "So, Nate, when can I play with my Pokémon?"

"Which one would you like?"

Nate thought for a moment and then used his magic to conjure the images of four different Pokémon in midair.

"On the far left is Pikachu, an electric type."

"The second is Bulbasaur, a grass type."

"The third is Squirtle, a water type."

"And the fourth is Charmander, a fire type."

Bickslow eyed them eagerly, like a kid in a candy store. "Can't I have them all?"

"Not yet; there aren't enough Pokémon ready to go around."

Nate wasn't against giving Bickslow three or four Pokémon, but right now, each Pokémon was needed for testing. Once the game went live and Pokémon could be created on a large scale, giving him a hundred wouldn't be an issue.

"I'll take Bulbasaur!" Bickslow decided. "I like the look of this one!"

Bulbasaur? Nate was surprised; usually, first-time players go straight for Charmander.

"I'll let you know once Bulbasaur is ready," Nate said.

"Looking forward to it!" With that, Nate parted ways with Bickslow and returned to his apartment to start coding the [Celestial Pokémon] app.

Before diving in, he needed to program five key magics into the [Magic App].

1. Celestial Creation

This magic uses celestial energy to mimic Plue, creating a celestial-type Pokémon doll. This magic ensures the Pokémon won't die; it's similar to a celestial spirit, and as long as it can receive celestial energy, it can't be permanently defeated.

2. Lost Magic: Ushi no Koku Mairi

This magic grants Pokémon their combat abilities and functions as a control mechanism.

3. Voice Magic: Word Command

Developed by Brain, this magic translates the user's verbal commands into actions performed by a doll, which then relays the commands to the Pokémon during battles.

4. Seith Magic: Human Possession

This magic provides the Pokémon with a simple soul, enabling it to run, jump, make sounds, and act as a companion to its trainer.

5. Card Magic: Card Dimension

This is the Poké Ball, or rather, a storage card where trainers can keep their Pokémon. The card's design functions as a compact storage space for the Pokémon when not in use.

By programming these elements into the app, Nate could bring the [Celestial Pokémon] game closer to reality.

Embedding these five types of magic into the [Magic App] took Nate a full eight hours.

When he looked up, it was already late at night, with the clock showing a bit past one in the morning.

"Guess I'll pull an all-nighter and get the simplified app written too."

Without even stopping for dinner, Nate buried himself in his work, and by the time he looked up again, the sky was light.

"Finally finished! Let's run it and see..."

Nate launched the [Celestial Pokémon] app, and a card appeared out of thin air. For now, it was just a plain white card since he hadn't designed the artwork yet. Inside the card, he could see a small Pikachu sleeping.

"Come on out, Pikachu!"

Nate tossed the card forward, and with a flash of light, Pikachu appeared, rubbing its eyes with a dopey, innocent look.

"Pika?"

"Can you understand me?" Nate asked.

"Pika!"

"Good."

Nate nodded, then gave the command, "Sit."

Pikachu obediently sat down, gazing up at him with big, innocent eyes.

Nate then went through a series of tests, including having Pikachu generate electricity. Everything went smoothly—almost surprisingly so.

However, this was just one test Pokémon. Next, he needed to create the starter trio and their evolved forms. He decided to focus on the initial forms for now and save the evolutions for later.

"Creating this game is way more challenging than [Magic Arena]!"

"Every Pokémon has to be designed and created from scratch," he thought, patting Pikachu on the head.

The reason for this was that he wanted [Celestial Pokémon] to exist in the real world. If it were just an online battle simulation relying on the Deep Web, things would be much simpler.

"In any case, the first step is done. Now... onto Charmander!"

With that thought, Nate put Pikachu back into its card and headed out, making his way to Natsu's place. After all, if he was going to make a creature called 'Charmander', using 'Fire Dragon Slayer Magic' seemed fitting.

...

Natsu's house was located in a secluded area on the outskirts of the West District. As Nate walked along a narrow path, he spotted a small sign on the side of the road that read 'Natsu-Happy', with an arrow pointing the way.

Nate thought back to how Fairy Tail used to have a dorm for the guys. Mirajane had once told him that the guys fought so much they wrecked the dorm, leaving them to figure out housing on their own.

The house itself was modest, surrounded by flowers and a few vines creeping up the walls. Out front was a chopping block with an axe embedded in it and a neatly stacked pile of firewood nearby.

"Prepping firewood for winter?" Nate chuckled. "Does a Fire Dragon Slayer even need wood for heat?"

Looking up, he noticed a chimney on the roof. Then he considered—maybe the firewood was for Happy, or perhaps for cooking rather than heating.

"Natsu!" Nate called out from outside.

After a moment, the door opened, and Happy came out, rubbing his eyes.

"Nate?"

"Morning, Happy."

Happy, still looking half-asleep, glanced at the faint morning sun. "You're up early, Nate."

"Natsu still asleep?"

"Natsu won't be up before nine," Happy yawned and pulled a fish from his little bag. "Want some fish?"

Probably from last night? Or maybe even from the night before that? Nate shook his head, "You eat it, just don't get sick. I need to talk to Natsu."

Stepping inside, Nate found the interior sparse. It looked like Natsu lived simply. He suspected that most of Natsu's money went to paying off fines.

On the bed, Natsu was sprawled out, snoring loudly with the messiest sleep posture Nate had ever seen.

"Wake up, Igneel!"

At the sound of the keyword, Natsu's eyes snapped open as he shouted, "Igneel!? Where?!"

After a beat, he processed what he'd said and then mumbled, "Wait... Isn't Igneel... inside me?"

Finally spotting Nate, Natsu froze, looking completely bewildered.

Nate stifled a laugh at the delayed reaction. "I'm creating a Charmander and could use your help, Natsu."
