Feel The Ground Shake (Pokemon - Ground-type specialist)

They're assuming. I have very purposefully not brought up what Vlad's Ability is in the story.

Maybe he doesn't have one.
I like the idea that at most half of all Pokémon lack innate Ability, and those with high potential as Simon are no exception.

Spoiler: "Anime spoiler which fic followers might not wanna know

Power limiter clip on the chest. Big ol' weak point which could cause the thing Simon fears the most: hurting someone, such as a delicate civilian or his own trainer, on accident.

What else… the Golurk evolution is weirder than you realize, there's another aspect to their flight power. Check bulbapedia. Cannon-butt when posed for a handstand.

Pfft. The seal that - if removed - makes a normal Golurk go berserk? You think such a limit would affect Simon? As the man he's named after would say, "Who the hell do you think I am?"

Thats no weakness. That's an asset.

So you're saying that Super talented Golurk, who just had a Power of Friendship boost has a 2nd stage transformation at the cost of his mind? Itwouldn't be too farfetch'd for Simon to be kept grounded by Brad while in that state, I believe.

 

[Harbinger98]

I appreciate that even though Bradley can be a selfish asshole, he's not a complete evil bastard. When it comes down to it, he will do the right thing.

Ooh nice I got tingles reading this

Thanks but it's just movie dialogue that I've rearrange around, thought it fitted.

Repeating again Simon own words: No! That's YOUR Limitation!!

This is no longer Timid nature Simon, this is full on Brave Nature Simon, fully evolved and ready to take on the world for a storm, because his drill is the drill that will one day pierce the heavens!

So Ariana thinks she just found out the key to the Ursaluna evolution? Lol. Lmao even. Good luck continuing the testing for every moon phase. Hell, they might not even realise it has to be done at night.

It's too late. He's already punched straight through the side and the first of many explosions are beginning to rock the innards of the vessel. In only a few hits from the S-Potential Pokémon, the zeppelin is already beginning to list and lose altitude.

'No. Not S-ranked.' I realize with a moment of dumbfounded awe. I saw it only for a second, but it was there.

Potential: SS

He didn't go up one rank to S+. He went up three.

Hell yeah. A legendary moment, living up to their name. I wonder how many of the passengers realise they just witnessed a legend in the making? I really doubt many champions even have SS rank pokemon, that kind of thing sounds like it's one in a hundred million.

It does have me wondering if his rank went up so high due to the situation though, a tight battle with no rules with their trainer and friends in danger? Perfect time for a shounen power up.

Headlong rush is a punching move?

Probably has to do with the Japanese translation and meaning since the reason why Sucker Punch is not boost by Iron Fist is because it means 「ふいうち」Surprise Attack in Japanese.

It's also why Poison Jab isn't boosted by Iron Fist, since it is called「どくづき」 Poison Stab in Japanese.

 

[OldSpartan]

Good to see the lines that Bradley wouldn't cross. Digging holes for Team Rocket is one thing, standing aside to let them steal other people's Pokemon is quite another.

 

[Questing_Questionbly]

Love the inclusion of the music for Simon's evolution!

Oh I know. But I also know that people try to do that to make it fit whatever and it doesn't work or it doesn't give the same feel
