Pokémon Simulator: Stealing Opportunities from the Destiny Child

『Your Oddish has undergone 206 days of training. Razor Leaf proficiency has increased significantly. Current enhancement level: +10.』

『Razor Leaf has reached its maximum enhancement level.』

『Skill enhancement complete.』

Ethan checked the skill panel again. Oddish's Razor Leaf skill now had a +10 marker next to it.

『Oddish's current skill: Razor Leaf +10. Time remaining for comprehension and memory fusion: 59 minutes.』

Oddish froze for a moment.

206 days of non-stop training for Razor Leaf—such a long period of training memory flooded into its mind like a tidal wave.

From the initial clumsy and monotonous attacks to mastering various techniques and striking precisely at the desired target, every second felt like it had been personally experienced.

Oddish quietly sat on the ground. Although only an hour had passed, its eyes were filled with exhaustion, and it almost fell asleep.

"Let's try Razor Leaf one last time," Ethan said gently. "After that, we'll go rest."

Hearing the word "rest," Oddish forced itself to perk up and started gathering energy for Razor Leaf again.

But this time, something was different.

Guided by its newfound memories, Oddish channeled the grass-type energy within its body. Instantly, it created leaves several times larger than the previous ones.

A surge of powerful energy swept out wildly, slicing through all the surrounding weeds in an instant.

Oddish launched Razor Leaf at the distant boulder.

Boom!

A loud explosion followed as Razor Leaf hit the boulder, leaving a one-meter-long crack. Fragments of rock flew everywhere, filling the air with dust.

Oddish and Ethan exchanged glances, both startled by the skill's terrifying power.

"Impressive," Ethan praised sincerely.

The power of this attack was already comparable to skills used by some level 20 Pokémon.

To think, Oddish was only level 8, and it had just used a physical move it wasn't even good at!

If it had been a special attack like Leaf Blade or Energy Ball, both with 90 base power, the result would have been far more astonishing.

"Since we've already tested skill enhancement, why not try level enhancement next?" Ethan thought. "After all, I haven't even used the 10,000 Alliance credits (100 points) I recharged earlier!"

Carrying the drowsy Oddish back to his room, Ethan prepared for the level enhancement process.

The process was similar to skill enhancement but without the simulated life experiences. Instead, the experience points gained were multiplied several times.

Ethan opened Oddish's data panel and silently commanded, "Activate level enhancement simulation."

『Level enhancement simulation activated.』

『The bound Pokémon is Oddish (Lv. 8).』

『Current available points: 100.』

『Each level enhancement simulation consumes 2 points.』

『The simulation ends when points are depleted or paused.』

『You can also manually choose the duration of the simulation.』

『Simulation begins.』

『2 points consumed. Oddish has undergone a day of training and gained significant experience. Slight power increase.』

『2 points consumed. Oddish has undergone a day of training and leveled up to level 9.』

『2 points consumed. Oddish has undergone extended training, gained significant experience, and learned the move Sweet Scent.』

『2 points consumed. Oddish has undergone a day of training. Energy adaptability greatly improved.』

『2 points consumed. Oddish has undergone extended training, gained significant experience, and leveled up to level 10.』

『Oddish has reached level 10.』

『Successfully advanced to the rank of Beginner Pokémon.』

In just one day, Oddish had leveled from 5 to 10 without using any potions or supplementary items.

This kind of speed was almost unheard of among rookie trainers.

"If I give Oddish a few more resources tomorrow, I'm confident I can train it into a Pokémon capable of crushing Cassandra's Arbok within a week," Ethan thought.

But just defeating Arbok wouldn't be enough.

After all, Cassandra was a cunning and ruthless elite trainer, well-versed in assassination tactics.

She must have some hidden trump cards Ethan wasn't aware of.

There was even a chance she could use certain methods to boost her Pokémon to gym-level strength.

That would explain how she escaped the encirclement of the Dragon Fang Hunter Group.

Ethan continued staring at the system screen.

Since he hadn't paused the simulation, the level enhancement was still ongoing.

『5 points consumed. Oddish has undergone a day of training and gained significant experience. Slight power increase.』

"Huh?" Ethan murmured. "It's consuming 5 points now!"
