[Ding! Host has triggered a large-scale Legendary-related mission.
Accept the mission to sabotage the mysterious faction's plan and receive the following rewards:
Mewtwo Favorability +100
System Special Energy Crystals ×10 boxes
Chakra ×5000
Poké-dollars ×500,000]
Gu Qiu's eyes nearly popped out.
Mewtwo Favorability +100?
What kind of concept was that?
A Pokémon's maximum favorability was 100.
This meant Mewtwo would start with direct recognition and goodwill toward him.
As for the 5000 Chakra—
That would likely push his personal strength to high Kage-level.
Combined with Flying Thunder God…
He might even contest Super-Kage tier.
What he lacked now was a top-tier offensive ninjutsu to pair with it.
"And those system-made energy crystals… I need to study those carefully tonight."
He looked up.
"I accept the mission. But I have one request."
Lorelei and the others' expressions shifted slightly.
They thought he might push for more rewards.
If he overreached—
That would be disappointing.
"What request?" Lorelei asked calmly.
"I want to challenge Cerulean Gym tomorrow at 8 a.m."
The room went quiet.
Lorelei blinked.
That's it?
She smiled faintly.
"That depends on whether Misty agrees."
Misty crossed her arms and grinned.
"If little brother wants to battle me that badly, big sister will grant your wish."
Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
She was very interested in that Greninja.
The matter settled.
Gu Qiu left.
After he was gone—
Li Hong frowned.
"Lorelei, are you truly that optimistic about him?"
Lorelei smiled mysteriously.
"What do you think would happen if I pushed him into that position?"
"Impossible."
"I disagree."
Li Hong and Ye Munan rejected it immediately.
"He's too young. Experience is a fatal weakness."
"He doesn't even have a full team of six."
"That tournament represents our entire nation's honor."
"We can't let a rookie carry that burden."
"I agree."
Lorelei wasn't surprised.
She turned to Brock and Misty.
"And you two?"
Brock adjusted his glasses.
"I don't object. His short training time is a flaw—but his talent is terrifying."
"As long as he defeats me tomorrow, I'll support it."
Misty snorted lightly.
"Depends whether he can beat me."
Her words sounded neutral—
But everyone understood.
If she went all out, it wouldn't be easy.
Lorelei nodded.
"He's only been training for ten days."
"That's why I secured Cerulean Cave access for him."
"The remaining Pokémon—I'll help where I can."
"But I believe he can build his team himself."
She didn't mention—
She had already gifted him a Pokémon egg.
By now, it should be close to hatching.
Back at the Pokémon Center
Gu Qiu took out the System Special Energy Blocks.
One box contained ten pieces.
They were crystal-clear.
Pure white.
The energy inside felt unbelievably dense.
"The quantity rivals High-tier crystals…"
"But the purity is on a completely different level."
"And… it feels attribute-less."
He released all his Pokémon.
Pikachu.
Greninja.
Kirlia.
Feebas.
And the egg Lorelei gave him remained safely stored in his system inventory.
"One each. Try them."
Feebas had already been placed in a bathtub in advance.
The moment the crystals appeared—
All four Pokémon's eyes lit up.
Pikachu was first.
It swallowed its block.
Instantly—
The "neutral" energy transformed into pure Lightning-type energy.
Gu Qiu froze.
"It auto-converts?"
Pikachu closed its eyes and began refining it.
Greninja's crystal split into Water and Dark energies.
Kirlia's into Psychic and Fairy.
Feebas absorbed pure Water energy.
All four entered cultivation mode.
Gu Qiu could clearly sense—
Their internal energy quality rising dramatically.
He didn't know—
If a Legendary saw this—
It would be shocked.
Because the energy inside these crystals contained Law fragments.
Their levels increased.
Pikachu broke through to Level 62.
That shocked him.
Champion-tier growth was notoriously slow.
"If this is daily…"
He quickly did the math.
Then the system interrupted:
[Energy Blocks are most effective upon first use. Subsequent uses will have diminishing returns.]
Gu Qiu sighed.
Of course.
Nothing that broken could be infinite.
He opened the system shop.
Price:
90,000 Poké-dollars per box.
10 per box.
9,000 per piece.
Four Pokémon.
One every three days each.
That's 40 per month.
360,000 Poké-dollars.
Pikachu probably needed one per day.
That alone made 60 per month.
540,000 total monthly cost.
"And that's just the beginning."
"As my team expands…"
"This could easily exceed a million per month."
Gu Qiu clicked his tongue.
Training elite Pokémon—
Was truly a money-burning machine.
