Chapter 3: Cassandra, the Fated Heroine [Seeking Data]
『Ding! System Notification』
『Host "Ethan" has completed Option 3.』
『You have obtained intelligence regarding the fate of "Cassandra."』
『Host "Ethan" currently holds Level 1 System Permissions.』
『The following features have been unlocked:』
『1. "Life Simulation": Allows the host to simulate future events for a certain number of days by consuming Alliance Coins or Energy Stones (duration changes with the amount consumed).』
『2. "Level Enhancement Simulation": Provides significant experience boosts to Pokémon by consuming Alliance Coins or Energy Stones.』
『3. "Skill Enhancement Simulation": Greatly increases Pokémon skill proficiency using Alliance Coins or Energy Stones.』
『4. "Data Eye": Reveals all detailed information about targeted Pokémon and items.』
『5. "Child of Fate": Grants intelligence on the world's Children of Fate by completing specific tasks (Current registered information: "Cassandra").』
Ethan's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint of cold determination flashing in them.
At the same time, detailed information about Cassandra appeared on the system's display.
『Cassandra』
The fated heroine and one of the harem members of the First Child of Fate, Tyler.
An elite assassin trained by a clandestine underground organization.
Rank: Elite Trainer.
Specializes in Poison and Flying-type Pokémon.
Her ace Pokémon is a Crobat at Level 48.
『Seven Days Later』
Cassandra, while tracking and stealing rare treasures and Pokémon eggs hidden by the Blackthorn Hunt in Misty Mountain, is pursued by the organization.
『Eight Days Later』
Despite her incredible skills, she manages to eliminate many Blackthorn Hunt grunts.
However, she ultimately attracts the attention of a high-ranking cadre, a Gym-level trainer with Pokémon over Level 50.
A fierce battle ensues, leaving both sides gravely wounded. Cassandra's main Pokémon suffer serious injuries, and only her Arbok, barely Level 30, retains its combat ability.
『Ten Days Later』
Severely injured, Cassandra stumbles into Lakeside City, unconscious.
She is rescued by Tyler and falls for him during her recovery.
During the early stages of Tyler's rise, Cassandra provides significant assistance, helping him through the most challenging phase of his journey.
Later, as Tyler expands his power, Cassandra—having grown to Champion-level strength—becomes the queen of the underworld, eliminating enemies and threats on his behalf.
It's clear that Cassandra, as a fated heroine, is one of the most significant opportunities for Tyler.
With her support, Tyler, a commoner trainer, easily navigates the harsh early stages and gains the loyalty of a future queen of the underworld.
However, to Ethan, Cassandra is nothing more than a target.
His eyes darkened with hatred.
Cassandra was responsible for the death of his sister, Elena, and her Pokémon, a beautiful Bellossom.
Ethan's grudge against her was no less intense than Tyler's affection for her.
Eight days from now, Cassandra would be at her weakest, with only a Level 30 Arbok left to protect her.
It was undoubtedly the perfect time to strike.
Under normal circumstances, raising a Pokémon to Level 30 in just
seven days would be impossible without destroying its foundation.
Pokémon that leveled up too quickly through unnatural methods—like XP items or candies—would lack real combat experience, turning them into paper tigers.
But Ethan wasn't worried.
He had everything he needed.
Life Simulation gave him insight into the future.
Level Enhancement Simulation allowed his Pokémon to gain experience fast.
Skill Enhancement Simulation boosted their battle abilities.
Data Eye helped him select only the most promising Pokémon.
The Child of Fate system provided detailed information on his targets.
He had time, opportunity, and all the tools at his disposal.
If he couldn't kill Cassandra with all these advantages, he might as well slam his head into a wall and end it himself.
Ethan walked to the table, where two Poké Balls lay.
Whether or not he had agreed to trade with Jayden, his initial goal had already been half-achieved. His main target was a Pokémon. The rest didn't matter.
He casually picked up one Poké Ball. The name displayed on it was "Pidgey".
Ethan's expression twisted with disdain.
He immediately dropped it and picked up the second one. Activating Data Eye, he scanned the Pokémon inside.

『Evaluation: This Oddish is gentle and kind, with a mischievous streak. It is fiercely loyal to a single trainer and possesses excellent adaptability in Grass-type battles. While it has the potential to be both a strong attacker and supporter, its limited potential may restrict its growth.』
Ethan's nose stung with emotion.
This Oddish...
There was no doubt in his mind—it was the same Bellossom from his past life. The one that had given its life to protect him.
The one that had ultimately perished in the process.
