One Piece: Luffy is My Pokemon

----------

"One grass-type move and three normal-type moves."

This was the first gift from Red to Chopper!

As a "Pokémon" with the special characteristic of Pixilate, Chopper inherently possessed a more flexible combination of moves than others.

Additionally, Red didn't have particularly strong grass-type or ice-type move learners available...

So he thought to go with the next best option and taught Chopper fairy-type moves.

But...

With the special effect of Pixilate that multiplied the power of normal-type moves by 1.2 times, fairy-type moves weren't as effective as normal-type moves!

Therefore, without a suitable move learner, Red directly replaced all three of Chopper's skill slots with normal-type moves.

Compared to other elemental moves, normal-type attacks were essentially a jack-of-all-trades. As long as the basics were sound, there was almost no learning disability.

After all, if normal-type wasn't so ordinary, why would it be called normal...

Right, Luffy?

...

...

"Red, I am..."

Little Chopper looked confused and had just received information about various moves. Staring at his two black hooves, he felt something unfamiliar.

Red, who was long accustomed to his partner's expressions, smiled gently, placed his hand on Chopper's hat, and gave it a couple of affectionate rubs.

"Let's go!"

"You must still have many questions in your mind right now, but don't worry."

"Soon enough, you'll become familiar with how to properly use this world!"

...

An hour later.

"Chopper, dodge quickly, then use Tri Attack!!!"

On Route 8 adjacent to Golden City, Red suddenly let out a loud shout.

Chopper, who had transformed into his Heavy Point and resembled a burly man, took a moment to process before responding:

"...Got it."

After speaking, he immediately jumped backwards, evading a Spark attack from the opposing Manectric, then formed a triangle shape with his hands in front of him.

Suddenly, three distinct energies—scorching fire, crackling lightning, and frosty ice—materialised in Chopper's palms and quickly condensed.

Just as these three energies formed and were about to launch, a mysterious wave of power suddenly emanated from Chopper's body, rapidly enveloping the three energy types.

It was the characteristic of Pixilate increasing Chopper's fairy energy!

Under the influence of this special energy, the light beams that should have fired straight ahead suddenly became smooth and agile.

The three rays of light shot out in different directions, drawing irregular arcs in the air, quickly converging on the Manectric.

Facing this strange energy attack, Manectric didn't know which direction to dodge.

By the time it realized the danger, it was already too late!

BOOM!!!

The burning of flames, the penetration of lightning, the freezing of frost...

Three different types of energy instantly descended upon Manectric's body and exploded.

Before the special effects contained within the three energies could fully manifest on its body, the struck Manectric had already rolled its eyes and lost its ability to fight.

"Well done, Chopper."

Seeing Chopper's experience bar increase by more than 300 points at once, directly breaking through to the next level, Red immediately displayed a satisfied smile.

Simultaneously, a mysterious brilliance emerged from Chopper's body.

After leveling up, Chopper looked at himself in astonishment, his face showing surprise.

"Red, I seem to be... stronger again!?"

"Is this also the power of the Pokémon world!?"

Still in his Heavy Point form, he blinked confusedly at Red.

But Red maintained a calm and gentle smile:

"Certainly!"

"Believe me, there are many more magical aspects to this world!"

"What you're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Now, it's still early, so let's continue leveling here today."

"Oh~"

Although he didn't understand what Red was talking about, Chopper nodded obediently.

Even though his current form wasn't cute at all.

Red took Chopper around Route 8 to level up during the next gaming session.

The density and level of Pokémon here were very suitable for friends who had recently joined the Straw Hat Pirates, so he had been spending almost all his time here during gameplay.

Red already knew Route 8's layout very well.

When Red and Chopper finished their half-day battle and exited the game world, Chopper's level had risen from the initial 26 to level 29!

Combined with the four Pokémon moves that Chopper had mastered, his current strength could be said to have made a tremendous leap forward!

Of course, as a doctor, Chopper was more interested in the medical technology of the Pokémon world.

When Red sent him into the healing machine at the Pokémon Center, and he watched the strange device circle around his body twice before completely restoring all his fatigue and energy deficits...

Chopper's brain completely shut down!

...

...

"Yo~ You finally woke up!"

In a relatively quiet room within the castle.

Seeing Red and Chopper open their eyes one after another, Dr. Kureha, who had been watching over them for a long time, immediately stretched out her hand in greeting.

Although Red had briefly explained the relevant matters to Chopper before taking him into the Pokémon world...

Watching these two getting dizzy and closing their eyes repeatedly made Kureha feel faintly concerned.

If it weren't for her haki revealing that Chopper's body was producing positive feedback from time to time...

She might have woken them up long ago and forced them to disconnect from the Pokémon world.

"Doctorine!"

After awakening, Chopper instantly transformed back into his cute Brain Point form.

He jumped excitedly from the bed, a look of amazement on his face, eager to tell Kureha everything that had happened to him in the Pokémon world.

But before Chopper could speak, a dull "Buru Buru~" suddenly sounded from Red's pocket.

"Hmm?"

Red immediately took out the Baby Den Den Mushi and answered the call.

"Red?"

"Is everything going smoothly on your end?"

Vivi's voice soon came through from the other end.

Although she was trying her best to control her tone, it wasn't difficult for the perceptive Red to detect...

The urgency and anxiety in her voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Did something happen over there in Alabasta?"

Red asked the Baby Den Den Mushi while standing up from the bed.

"..."

Vivi on the other end was silent for a moment, then replied:

"It's nothing particularly urgent."

"It's just that information came from Alubarna just now, saying that Mr. 2's ship was spotted near the Kingdom of Alabasta..."

"I suspect that Crocodile may have already begun his plans, so I..."

At the end of her sentence, Vivi's tone suddenly filled with apology.

After all, the Straw Hat Pirates had helped her tremendously.

Now she had to make this urgent call because of uncertain news...

This wasn't right, either emotionally or rationally.

But she had no choice.

When she thinks about the suffering of Alabasta's citizens, Vivi's heart remains suspended, and she is unable to find peace.

"I understand."

In response, Red didn't say much, but replied empathetically:

"Don't worry. Without Robin helping coordinate, and with Mr. 13 and the others no longer delivering information..."

"It won't be easy for Crocodile to carry out his plan smoothly by himself."

"Alabasta is safe for now."

Walking to the wall, Red glanced slightly at Chopper, who was happily dancing and introducing the Pokémon world to Kureha. He spoke into the receiver:

"Also, I'll discuss setting sail early with Luffy."

"At worst..."

"After we deal with Crocodile, we can always come back again."

"...Thank you...thank you, Red..."

Vivi's tearful voice soon came through from the other end.

Fortunately, Nami was by Vivi's side at that moment, and with her timely comfort, the call quickly ended.

...

...

In the castle, staring at the Baby Den Den Mushi in his hand, countless thoughts flashed through Red's mind as he leaned against the wall.

"Is the timing earlier than in the original timeline?"

"It seems that forcing Robin to stay on the Merry has put Crocodile on alert~"

"Fortunately, everything is still under control."

Since entering the Grand Line, Red had done many things that diverged from the original timeline, making quite a few changes to the world's course.

So he had already anticipated the butterfly effect.

However...

"How dare you gather your officers without Robin~"

"You're quite brave, Crocodile."

The corners of Red's mouth curved slightly upward, feeling satisfied with the timely news.

At this moment, Vivi would never have guessed that Red's desire to reach Alabasta as soon as possible might be even greater than that of the princess herself...

And it is even more intense!

...

...

Evening.

After dinner, Red, sitting at the round table, mentioned the situation in Alabasta to Luffy and the others.

"I see..."

Faced with such weighty topics as a country and its people, Luffy rarely became serious.

He displayed a sad face, pouted his lips, and said unhappily:

"What a detestable Shichibukai~! You have to do this now of all times."

"But... there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Vivi is our nakama."

"If we arrive late, she'll be very sad!"

"If that's the case, we'll have to gather everyone and head to Vivi's country first, then come back and ask Chopper to join us!"

"Don't bother!"

At that moment, an unexpected voice suddenly interrupted Luffy's planning.

Immediately afterward, the door to their dining room was kicked open from outside.

Kureha slowly retracted her slender leg, then walked in quickly.

In her hand was a confused Chopper.

"Wait a minute, Doctorine, where are you taking me?!"

Little Chopper kept waving his limbs and yelled in confusion.

But in the next second, his body was suddenly thrown into the air, and following a curved arc, he landed accurately on Luffy's dining table, as if he had become a new dish being served.

"Take this guy with you!"

Kureha, who was still wearing sunglasses despite the darkness, suddenly declared.

All at once!

Two surprised voices erupted in the room:

"Eh!?"

Luffy and Chopper stood up simultaneously, their figures overlapping.

Luffy: "Are you serious?!"

Chopper: "What are you saying, Doctorine!"

"Of course I'm serious!" Kureha laughed, ignoring Chopper's protest, and addressed the Straw Hats:

"Back then, that bastard Hiriluk just dumped this burden on me without a word."

"I've been looking for an opportunity to get rid of him for a long time!"

"You came at the perfect time! If you don't mind this guy who only inherited 80% of my medical skills..."

"Then take him away!"

"Besides, boy!"

Kureha suddenly turned her attention to Red, flicked her wrist, and tossed him back the medicine he had left.

"I've almost analyzed the ingredients of this potion..."

"Although it looks like a water-like liquid inside, there are actually numerous substances with powerful healing properties dissolved in it..."

"It's unbelievable that something with such ridiculously high solubility exists."

"In short, the remaining research has no technical challenge, so let Chopper handle it."

"This is my summary report on the pharmaceutical situation. I'm giving it to you as well!"

As she threw over a backpack-style package with the same [X] pattern as Chopper's hat, Kureha turned around resolutely and walked out of the house without looking back.

Because she worried that if she turned around at that moment, the tears that had welled up in her eyes would be seen by her stupid son.

She didn't want to become a shackle holding Chopper back from the sea.

Although they had only spent a short day together, she had already realized...

This was definitely no ordinary pirate crew!

Captain Luffy, who wore the same straw hat as that foolish boy from back then and had a carefree personality;

Red, who possessed the magical ability to improve Chopper's physical abilities in just one day;

Nico Robin, the Devil Child and O'Hara's orphan wanted by the World Government;

And Marine Captain Smoker, who lived and dined with pirates despite being a Marine, and even let them help him train.

With Kureha's 139 years of experience, it was difficult to imagine how such a group had come together.

And this wasn't even counting the other Straw Hat Pirates who remained at the foot of the mountain.

"If you travel with such an interesting group, I think you'll be very happy too, Chopper~"

With this thought, Kureha decisively pushed Chopper toward Luffy and the others.

She trusted her own judgment.

And she also believed in Chopper's destiny.
