Ethan's eyes glinted with coldness as he read the notification.
At the same time, the intel on Cassandra appeared on the screen in front of him.
Cassandra
A fated heroine and one of Tyler's key companions.
She was a top assassin cultivated by an underground organization and held the strength of an elite trainer.
She specializes in Poison and Flying types.
Her ace Pokémon is a Level 48 Crobat.
[Seven Days Later]
Cassandra will secretly track and steal rare treasures and Pokémon eggs hidden by the Dragonfang Hunting Group in Misty Mountain.
This will lead to her being hunted by the group.
[Eight Days Later]
Despite her exceptional skills, which allow her to eliminate many low-level members of the group, she will encounter a high-ranking officer with strength equivalent to a Level 50+ gym leader.
Both sides will suffer heavy injuries.
Cassandra's five main Pokémon will be severely wounded, leaving only her Level 30 Arbok able to fight.
[Ten Days Later]
Gravely wounded, Cassandra will stagger into Lakeside City and collapse unconscious. Tyler will find and rescue her.
During her recovery, she will slowly fall for Tyler and offer him significant help.
Later, when Tyler's power grows, Cassandra—now a champion-level trainer—becomes the queen of the underworld, helping him deal with enemies he cannot confront openly.
It was clear.
Cassandra, as a fated heroine, was one of Tyler's greatest fortunes.
With her help, Tyler easily overcame the toughest challenges of his rookie days and gained a future queen of the underworld as an ally.
But Ethan didn't feel a shred of admiration for her.
In fact, he felt nothing but hatred.
Cassandra was the one who killed Elena and her Bellossom.
In eight days, Cassandra would be left with only a Level 30 Arbok.
It would undoubtedly be her weakest moment—a perfect opportunity for Ethan to strike.
Under normal circumstances, raising a Pokémon to Level 30 in just one week would be impossible.
Real strength requires a solid foundation.
If a Pokémon gains levels too quickly through artificial means like Exp.
Share or Rare Candies, it becomes nothing but a high-level weakling with no real combat experience.
But Ethan didn't have to worry about that.
Life Simulation allowed him to foresee the future.
Level Enhancement gave his Pokémon the experience they needed.
Skill Enhancement helped improve their abilities.
Data Eye ensured he could select only the top-quality Pokémon.
Child of Fate provided him with crucial intel on his opponents.
With everything in his favor—timing, resources, and information—if he couldn't kill Cassandra, it would be an embarrassment to all reincarnators.
He might as well slam his head into a wall and end it himself.
Ethan walked to the table.
Two Poké Balls sat on it.
Whether or not he had agreed to Jayden's trade earlier no longer mattered.
He had already accomplished one of his original goals.
Ethan picked up a Poké Ball and read the name on it: Pidgey.
A flash of disdain crossed his eyes, and he set it aside.
Then, he picked up the second Poké Ball and activated Data Eye.
Detailed information on Oddish appeared before him.

Evaluation:
This Oddish is gentle and kind but has a bit of a cunning side.She is fiercely loyal to a single trainer.
Her strong adaptability to Grass-type combat makes her a viable offensive or support Pokémon. Unfortunately, her potential limits her long-term growth.
Ethan's nose stung with emotion.
There was no doubt—this Oddish was the very same Bellossom that had died protecting him in his previous life.
