"That's actually not a bad comparison," says the Champion, "but let me explain to you how things like that work. See, first, you have to discard the belief that moves, Abilities, and Items are the only things that can assist a Pokemon in both battle and everyday life. It may work like that elsewhere, but you've seen it more than a hundred times before that our world is possible of much, much more."
To demonstrate this, the Ace gets up and manifests two small balls--an Energy Ball and a Shadow Ball--and then tosses them up high.
"If a Pokemon has say, 'attributes' unique to only it, then that means it has the power to utilize special effects that otherwise are not possible in other realities. These attributes are further separated into two categories. Powers and Bodies."
The Shadow Ball begins to radiate, "Poke-Powers are learned techniques that are often flashy, improvised versions of already existing moves, they must be announced in order to use. The black holes and portal teleportation used by your Aegislash are examples of this, and I'm sure you've used more in the past, you just don't know it. Poke-Bodies on the other hand..."
The Energy Ball begins radiating now, "Poke-Bodies are different, they're gifts--beneficial and hurtful--that are permanently stuck to a Pokemon as soon as they are born, or following a great incident. They're always active and in effet, whether the Pokemon likes it or not. See, Pokemon that have the ability to speak human language have the proper Body to do so."
The cuck shrugs, "There's your quick little history lesson, any questions?"
A) Ask a question.
B) "Nope, no questions here!"
C) "Er, I still don't get it I literally never played the TCG. Can you show me an example?"
