Bond Phenomena
is the term given to events which occur as a result of the connection between a
Linked human and pokémon.
As the potency of trust between the two, and their ability to work in sync
increase, pokémon move strength and resilience increase in turn.
While it is somewhat easier to unlock bond
phenomena for those with
Cho'moken or
Kakureiro, artificial methods have also been developed for those without
these abilities to achieve the same results.
ZENITH MOVES
A moderately strong bond between human and pokémon
opens the way to unleash a Zenith move - a powerful attack that draws from both
the human and pokémon's Aura
reserves. The strain of these moves are as such that they can only be used
rarely.
SYNCHROFORMS
When the bond between human and pokémon is at its
strongest and most synchronised, the pokémon taps into a hidden ability and
temporarily gains an enhanced form. As this form is only accessible during
periods of high adrenaline, it typically shows up during battle. These forms are
not to be confused with that of 'formes', which are accessible to certain
species of pokémon without human involvement.
Accessing this form creates a heightened
connection between the human and pokémon similar to a psychic one. The human is
capable of feeling the pokémon's exhaustion and pain during this time, as well
as seeing what it is seeing. It is considered by researchers to be the closest a
human and pokémon can be without physically fusing. It also carries its risks,
as a greater level of strain is placed upon both human and pokémon during this
time. |
