SCRAPS

Just like on Morbit proper, scraps are discarded fragments of memory or emotion. However, with the assistance of Pokemon, the people of PokeMorbit have found ways to manipulate and utilize them for a variety of purposes.

TMs

Back in the day, new moves would have to be taught to a Pokemon through traditional training and practice. While this was a good challenge and a fun bonding exercise between trainer and Pokemon, it was extremely time-consuming and difficult for some. Now, however, scrap users along with psychic Pokemon have found reliable ways to manipulate scraps into containing all the knowledge necessary to learn a new move into a quick, compact package. These Tutor Machines, when used on a compatible Pokemon, will instantly deliver the knowledge and training for one specific move. The process takes only a few seconds, and the Pokemon will be able to use the move immediately as if it were an expert.

POKEMON MOVES

Many species of Pokemon are natural scrap users, and can manipulate scraps around them during battle. This can serve to amplify the power of their attacks, change the typing of a move, or even allow them to inflict status effects on enemy Pokemon. However, the exact effect of these techniques is entirely dependent on what scraps are in the area, and the Pokemon using them only have a vague idea as to what each one might do. Sometimes using a scrap may cause more harm to the Pokemon using it than to its intended target.

BONDS AND BOND STONES

When a Pokemon grows close to its trainer, a special kind of scrap may form known as a Bond. These scraps are filled with a specific moment the trainer has shared with their Pokemon, and the Pokemon can use it to access new power. Depending on the Pokemon, some may be able to use special techniques in battle, temporarily evolve into a more powerful form, or grow gigantic in size. These special scraps are usually contained in Bond Stones. Each Bond Stone is specific to one Pokemon and one Trainer- it is an item formed from the special connection the two share, and as such it cannot be used by anyone other than those two. While a Bond Stone is not strictly necessary, it does stabilize the raw emotional energy of the Bond, making it easier to use and its effects more reliable. Many trainers like to incorporate Bond Stones into accessories for themselves or their Pokemon.
