Pokemon: My Fate System Is Too Overpowered!!

Ryuu crouched down at the old bookstore stall, carefully selecting a weathered book from the pile.

"I'll take this one."

The vendor barely looked up. "Twenty thousand yen."

Ryuu didn't even blink. "Deal."

Twenty thousand was a hefty sum for most people—practically a full month's salary.

But for someone from an Elite family like Ryuu?

It was pocket change.

---

This wasn't just any book.

It had appeared under a Purple Destiny thread—

Which meant it was valuable.

Even though he couldn't read the strange symbols on the pages…

If the system marked it as special, then it had to be worth something.

Maybe one day, he'd figure it out.

---

After buying the book, Ryuu continued wandering the market, checking for any other potential fates.

Unfortunately—

The best he found were Blue-tier fates, mostly related to Evolution Stones.

And those?

He could just buy them anytime.

Nothing rare enough to bother with.

With no other interesting opportunities, Ryuu hailed a taxi and headed home.

---

As he climbed into the backseat, a familiar voice shouted behind him—

"Hey, wait! Wait for me!"

Shun.

Again.

Ryuu didn't even look back—just grinned and waved as the taxi pulled away.

To Shun, it must have looked like the most condescending Taunt imaginable.

"THAT BASTARD!"

Shun stomped his foot in frustration.

"I swear—after school starts, I'll crush him in the tournament!"

Ryuu just chuckled to himself.

Not likely.

---

At the beginning of each semester, every high school hosted a Trainer Tournament.

It was designed to evaluate the students' progress, determining who had trained their Pokémon the best over the vacation period.

Those who performed well received priority access to rare resources and funding.

For most students, it was a huge deal.

Before, Ryuu had been confident he could do well, purely based on his Elite family background.

But now?

With the system on his side?

Winning was just a matter of how badly he wanted to crush the competition.

There was no way he was losing.

---

Back home, Ryuu sat at his desk, flipping through the mysterious book he had purchased.

The writing was completely unrecognizable.

No wonder these ancient books weren't valued much—most people couldn't even read them.

Rich collectors might buy them as decorations, but to the average Trainer?

They were useless.

But Ryuu had one advantage.

He activated the Eye of Data—

And instantly, the unreadable symbols shifted into a language he could understand.

---

His eyes widened.

This wasn't just any book.

It was a Breeder's Manual.

Inside, it detailed advanced methods for raising Pokémon—methods far beyond anything the modern world had developed.

And among the many techniques listed—

One particular discovery stood out.

The Seiryu Energy Formula.

---

According to the book, this formula was used to create a high-quality Energy Cube with:

Higher nutritional value than anything available on the market.

A perfectly balanced nutrient composition, suitable for all Pokémon types.

Superior taste, making it incredibly popular among Pokémon.

Ryuu's mind raced.

This was a goldmine.

The world's current Energy Cube technology was still underdeveloped compared to what the Pokémon world was truly capable of.

Even his own family's premium Energy Cubes were inferior to this formula.

If he could mass-produce these…

His Pokémon's growth rate would skyrocket.

---

Determined, Ryuu headed straight for the Pokémon kitchen.

Their home gym had a high-end Energy Cube Processor—a machine most people couldn't afford, but was standard in Elite Trainer households.

He gathered the necessary Berries, carefully measuring them according to the ancient formula.

After double-checking the ratios, he pressed the start button.

The machine whirred to life, processing the ingredients with a soft hum.

A few moments later—

A pure white Energy Cube was carefully ejected onto the tray.

Ryuu picked it up, holding it to the light.

It was completely flawless—no dark spots, no impurities.

It looked perfect.

But the real test?

Was whether Pokémon would actually eat it.

---

Ryuu released Froakie from its Poké Ball.

"Here—try this," he said, offering the Energy Cube.

Froakie sniffed it—then immediately grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

His eyes widened in surprise.

Then—

With a delighted croak, he reached for another one.

And another.

In seconds, he had devoured every last cube.

Ryuu smirked.

Well, that answered that.

The Seiryu Energy Cube was a success.

---

Still, before he started mass-producing them, he wanted to double-check the nutritional content.

Luckily, their family gym had a high-tech analysis machine for testing Pokémon food.

He placed the remaining Energy Cube into the device and started the scan.

As the machine processed the sample, Ryuu leaned back, arms crossed.

If the results were as good as he expected…

This vacation was about to become very productive.

Just then—

The door opened, and his parents walked in together.

His father, Fujiwara Daiki, and his mother, Fujiwara Sumire, had just finished training at the gym.

Daiki glanced at the analysis machine, then at the pure white Energy Cubes on the counter.

"What's all this?" he asked, stepping forward.

Sumire picked up an Energy Cube, inspecting it closely.

Her brows lifted in surprise.

"I've never seen Energy Cubes this pure before," she murmured.

She was right—

Most commercial Energy Cubes were dark-colored, since they contained harmless filler ingredients to enhance the appearance.

These, however, were completely natural.

"Ryuu," Daiki said, his tone serious now, "where did you get this formula?"

Ryuu smirked, placing a hand on the ancient book.

"I found it in an old text from the Trade Market," he said. "And I just tested the formula."

Sumire's eyes widened slightly.

"You made these yourself?"

"Yep."

Daiki folded his arms.

"And what exactly is different about these?"

Ryuu grinned.

"I guess we'll know once the analysis is complete."

He gestured toward the machine, which was still processing the data.

If the numbers came back strong—

Then Ryuu was about to take Energy Cubes to a whole new level.
