Chapter 25:Trial and new pokemon

"...Ah?"Seeing the following rewards, Zeke's eyes were automatically drawn into 2 item, the two being the ⟨⟨Poké Block Machine⟩⟩ and the ⟨⟨World Ticket:Super Gene⟩⟩

Of which the latter was completely unexpected but a welcome surprise.

"If I remember correctly, the Super gene world is a vast one spanning across Galaxies or even the Whole Universe...

Im pretty tempted to go there, but its a place where dangers lurk everywhere, from the beast to even the people.

Besides, I haven't even made any progress in this world whatsoever so— lets save that for later..

For now..." Zeke stopped his muttering before he looked beside him where Ditto is once again asleep before he smiled and continued.

"For now, lets enjoy our current peace and quiet....for a few days at least.."

And so, after that Zeke opened up the shop once again, making it accessible to the outside world once more..

....

....

Hours later...

*plap*

"UGHHHH... Who knew running a shop is so problematic, I salute those underpaid retail and fast food workers... " Zeke groaned as he plopped down his bed after a tiring day.

Opposite of his expectations, the shop had actually received a surprisingly number of customers which some left after Zeke mentioned the price of the egg.

While others left after seeing what hatched on the egg and the price.

Still, surprisingly a lot actually saw through it untill the end and successfully bought what hatched from the egg.

those were people who got the 5 Uncommon, 2 Rare, and 3 Common eggs

In fact, Zeke has hatched all the 21 eggs that he bought from the Poké Mall, but only 14 got successfully bought, the rest are outside the shop—playing with Ditto.

Those pokemon that got left are:

2 Ratatas male and female.

a pair of Catterpies, male and female

a female Charjabug

a male slowpoke

and lastly and surprisingly... a very energetic male Yamper.

"Ugh....First day...Its only the first day and I got myself a Karen Visitor.." Zeke groaned, remembering the lady who hatched one of the Ratata, a very rude lady who, upon seeing the price of the eggs, endlessly compained.

and after seeing the Ratata which hatched from the egg, she released the most soul scrunching screech that he has ever heard, before she passed out.

*pfft* Zeke grinned as he thought about it, before his face got back to being in pain as he remembered what happened after the Screecher woke up.

"Meeting a Karen in person was more exhausting and gut wrenching than I thought...I can only imagine what those retailers and cashier must be feeling as those Karen's loud and obnoxious voice echoes in their ears as they called out the manager"

groaning one last time, Zeke rolled over in the bed for a few minutes, enjoying the relaxing and most fluffiest bed that he has ever laid upon, which alleviated his tiredness by a large margin.

afterwards, he got up from the bed before he went out of his room, his destination? the balcony.

'Hopefully she's fine now...' Zeke thought as he passed through the door of Siesta's room, shuddering as he remembered her face which looked as if shes ready to make that Karen cross over the mortal plane and into hell, when she was awoken by the Karen's screech.

'Note to self, never make her angry..or wake her up from her nap'

.....

Upon reaching the balcony, Zeke wandered his eyes, searching for Ditto and the other mon's which he found not long after.

"Aww..." Zeke awed, as he looked at Ditto and the rest, sans slowpoke— as they lined up into a train, with Charjabug leading and Ditto who turned into another Charjabug followed next, and afterwards it was the catterpie and then the ratatta's as they circled around the field while maintaining their line.

Zeke hurriedly took out his rottom phone before he opened the camera and commanded it to record what they're doing.

Hearing his order the Rottom phone, flew out of his hand as it went near the playing group as it started recording their activities as per his orders.

Gazing at them one last time, Zeke walked back inside with a smile, completely heald of today's problems.

Zeke hummed as he walked, thinking about what he can do.

Suddenly something came into his mind as he oppened his inventory before he clicked on something.

________________________________________________________________________________________

               [Build's Trial Ground]

Info:A trial ground for those seeking to inherit all Kamen Rider Items that graced upon the world of Build.

________________________________________________________________________________________

"This is it...I guess I will build it now... but where should I place it.." Zeke wondered before he clicked ⟨Build⟩ to know how big the thing will be.

"Eh??!, Isnt this.." Zeke mutters in surprise as he looked at what seems to be a Capsule shaped machine which looks very similar to those VRMMORPG novels that he has read before.

Appearance wise; it looks very plane but that makes it much more impressive as it has a sleek and neat design despit what it can do.

So Zeke giddily walked back inside his room before he placed the Image (hologram) of the Capsule in the very spacious area beside his bed before pressing the ⟨Yes⟩ button when the system asked for building confirmation.

A flash of light hit Zeke's face before it disappeared a split second later, making him unable to react before it ended, but he did not mind it one bit as Zeke's entire focus is at the capsule.

And after getting near it, a system prompt sounded before a system window opened in front of his face.

⟨⟨Build's Trial ground has requested a link to the main system⟩⟩

⟨⟨Agree⟩⟩            ⟨⟨Disagree⟩⟩

Zeke Unhesitatingly pressed Agree which made the capsule light up in blue and red before the top oppened up, as if beckoning Zeke to enter inside.

"Dont mind if I do!" Zeke without hesitation whatsoever, hurriedly laid down on the capsule, trusting that his system and the one that gave the trial grounds wont do anything bad to him.

⟨⟨Start the Trial?⟩⟩

⟨Yes⟩         ⟨No⟩

After donning the helmet which covered his entire head, a system prompt suddenly manifested in front of his face.

Zeke took one long breath before pressing yes, which made the top glass cover back up, and then Zeke's vision got replaced by endless darkness.

....

....

⟨First Challenge has begun⟩

⟨Please Choose the level of your Pain receptors⟩

⟨Note: The higher it is the Higher benefit you can recieve, and Vise versa the lower it is, the benefits you will receive will also be low⟩

'....I would like the maximum I can get' After deliberating for a moment, Zeke ultimately decided to do the trials with maximum effort to not waste anything.

⟨The maximum is 200%— meaning you will experience double the pain, but you will also receive  much higher rewards..⟩

⟨Do you confirm?⟩

"Confirm"

⟨... Alright...Good luck, Trial Taker⟩

.....

....

'What now?...'Zeke thought inside his head before suddenly.

"ARRRRGHHHH!!!!!!" A pain he never experienced before was felt on his whole being, Its as if a million bullet ants simultaneously bit his inside flesh while lava was flowing in each of his veins.

His brain only had one thing inside and its Pain....an Unbearable pain whcih would make anyone wish that they were dead, and Zeke thought of the same, he couldn't even cry as his glans and eyes were experiencing the pain as well.

the worst part? He couldnt get numb for some reason so the pain persisted for who knows how long, but for Zeke it felt like an eternity just passed by, an eternity full of pain and he couldnt do anything to stop or even alleviate even just a tiny bit of the pain.

But miraculously, Zeke did not faint, or more like he couldn't due to the pain not allowing him, as he spasmed wherever he is.

Then...It stopped, the pain that he felt for what seemed like an eternity suddenly stopped and a split second of reprieve is all it took for Zeke to finally fall asleep, not seeing the system window that popped up suddenly.

⟨Congratulations, You have passed the first challenge: Nebula Origin⟩

...

Its a mystery how much time has passed but as Zeke woke up, a groan escaped his dry lips as his eyes opened up with much difficulty.

".... Where the hell am I?" Zeke bemoaned with much difficulty as his eyes wandered around, hoping to find any clues as to where he currently is.

It is a dark and dreary place making it difficult to see anything.

But all of that changed suddenly and now he could actually see well around the room, too well in fact as Zeke saw even a speck of dust up close, confusing him as to what is happening.

So he tried to call out the system, but Instead of the normal U.I, 3 system windows appeared.

"Huh...so this is most likely the reason why my vision is like this" Zeke muttered as he read what the system windows entailed before he closed the windows.

He looked left and right and noticed that he is in some kind of empty and old warehouse, so he hurriedly stood up before he started to walk towards the door sl he could get out of there.

Right after he got out of the warehouse a system prompt sounded before a window popped up in front of his face.

⟨The second challenge:His curiosity— has begun⟩

⟨Objective: Survive the onslaught for 15 minutes⟩

"Hooh?.. an interesting person popped up, I wonder where you're from? Hokuto perhaps? or Seito?"

Suddenly, Zeke could hear someone's voice just as he finished reading, a very familiar voice and a quick scan of his periphery revealed the owner of said voice.

"What?...well forget it, you're an anomaly thats for sure, Hazard one but still human?.. Lets see...I guess I'll test you for now."The human? being? wearing what seems to be some kind of suit, mainly pink coloured with cyan chest piece, visor and horn.

"Well then...I hope you survive, Ciao!" Leaving his last words behind, the man, pulled out what seems to be some kind of a gun, which spewed out smoke which he used to cover himself up.

When the smoke faded, the person was nowhere to be seen.

*SCREEEECH*

Suddenly an unfamiliar and familiar sound could be heard making Zeke tense, as he remembered about the Karen he met at the shop, but when he looked towards where the sound came from.

Zeke's eyes could only widen as he saw

a creature of red, flame covered some part of its body, and it seems to shape as some kind of a bird man with long appendages fluttering behind its back.

"Oh fuck!"Zeke cursed before he ran towards the opposite direction to try and escape from the smash.

'Shit, shit....I got faced with a smash right at the start?!? I mean, at least it wasn't Evol himself... but im still fucked if Sento doesn't arrive here to stop that smash'

Zeke thought as he ran dodging the obstacles he passed by untill he reached some kind of a clearing.

"Oh crap! Its a bad idea to face a flying opponent in a an open field! I gotta go and find somewhere that isnt as open as th-"

Before Zeke could even finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a searing pain on his back, as flames spread throughout his body in an alarming rate.

And ita not just the flames, as the smash body slammed Zeke with the momentum it gained while flying, sending him skidding across the other side.

*Bang*

Zeke lay, still flaming besides wooden crates which also burned as the undying flames caught into them.

Still, that isnt what Zeke had in mind at the moment as surprisingly, the pain he previously felt did not hurt him anymore, or rather, his tolerance has surpassed the pain that he's feeling right now, making it have no effect whatsoever.

Even his body, who should be mush by now is actually still in tact.

Zeke eyed the smash for a sec before his eyes caught a bottle shaped item, fully white.

"Ah...that must be it.."Zeke muttered as he reached out to grab the bottle, gripping it firmly after he got his hand on it.

He then, slowly stood up back on his feet before he took a deep breath as he started to shake the bottle.

"Its time for round 2...and Im gonna kick your feathery ass you bitch as birb"Zeke exclaims before he lunged towards the Smash who seemed to look down on him.

Arrogance filled its entirety so it did not mind whatever he is doing, which is a grave mistake, as suddenly it lost track of Zeke before it suddenly flew back, as Zeke's punching form could be seen right where he was before.

"Haah....HAHA! GOT YOU!" Zeke exclaimed which woke up the stunned flaming smash as it processed what just happened.

It screeched loudly, as the fire in its body surged, before it launched itself back towards Zeke— as it decided to stop playing with its victim.

Seeing the fast approaching foe, Zeke lowered his center of gravity by crouching while he cocked back his right fist, getting ready to meet the smash.

*BANG!* The head and fist met with each other, surprisingly both got sent back a few meters from where they met.

Before both charged towards each other once again, exchanging a flurry of fist and talon.

The flames, which would normaly turn a person into ash with direct contact had no affect to Zeke whatsoever as he dished out his fist, pound after pound.

But, that doesn't mean his clothes could survive as now, while the two exchanged blows Zekes clothes has long since melted, making him fight with the Flaming Smash naked.

Zeke ignored his nakedness, opting to focus entirely on his fight of survival dishing out more and more punches towards the smash, not noticing that small moats of light from the smash, is slowly absorbed by the Bottle he has on hand.

While the timer that appeared on the lower side of his vision is now almost finished .

[13:47/15:00]

*BANG* *BANG* *WHOOSH!* *BANG*

Dodging the last body slam of the smash, Zeke hurriedly followed it with an elbow strike on its back, which sent it down on the ground.

Zeke then back off, panting as he looked at the smash as it slowly rised.

"Shit....My attack isn't strong enough to finish it off...Where is that guy"

Seeing the smash fully back up again, Zeke braced himself for another exchange, but..

<⟨Ready, go! ⟩>

<⟨Vortex Finish!⟩>

Suddenly, a white energy chart appeared, securing the smash in place, before another person wearing a suit coloured red and blue suddenly appeared out of nowhere as it kicked down the stuck Smash.

<⟨Yay!⟩ >

'Kiryuu Sento..' Zeke thought as he looked at the Rabbit Tank form of Kiryu Sento, aka Kamen Rider Build, as Sento took out an empty full bottle which he used to absorb the nebula gas of the Smash.

Build turned around and stared at Zeke, before he removed the two bottles mounted in the Build driver, Undoing his transformation and revealing his real Identity.

Wearing a striped black and white shirt with  a light brown jacket on top, sento walked towards Zeke, full of curiosity completely ignoring the passed out person who was previously the Flaming smash.

"You...what are you? How can you fight that smash and survive without help whatsoever?" Sento asked with anticipation as he circled around Zeke to check every part of his body, his hair curling upwards as he mutters some things.

"Umm...can I rest for now? Im very tired you see so I would like to rest for a bit before I will answer your question" Zeke voiced awkwardly, not knowing what to say to his long time Idol and Hero, Kiryu Sento himself!

"But...since you saved me, I guess I'll answer why I could beat him, but just that...I wont answer whatever question you may have afterwards, untill I have rested enough...Also...can I get some clothes please?"

Hearing Zeke's last word, Sento realized that he is actually examining what seems to be a person butt naked, wearing absolutely nothing.

"Ah...My bad..." Sento voiced with embarrassment before he handed him the jacket he is wearing.

"Here, use that to cover yourself up..." Sento said before he turned around and walked back towards the person a female who—previously as a smash, passed out..

Sento took out his phone before contacting someone, before afterwards walking back towards Zeke which was finally covered with something..

"Now, can you answer my question?"
