Pokemon:God Level Player

The system's world announcement rang out six times, leaving all players in Pokémon Generations stunned.

This was the first world announcement since the game's launch, and it came less than a day after the server had opened. Naturally, it attracted massive attention.

The game's built-in forum became incredibly active, with countless players discussing the news.

"This guy, Satoshi, is insane! The server just launched, and his Pokémon is already level 10."

"Something doesn't add up. I've been grinding like crazy, and after defeating almost 50 wild Pokémon, mine's still only level 7. How is he already level 10? Did he move to a level 5–10 area?"

"No way. I've been leveling in a level 5–10 area myself. Even against higher-level Pokémon, you only get a tiny bit more experience. Plus, I have to keep running back to the Pokémon Center after each battle. Low-level areas are more efficient for now!"

"Let me tell you something—I'm a rich player. I bought a Level 99 potion, and even then, after defeating nearly 20 Pokémon in a level 5–10 area, my Pokémon is just over level 7."

"Seriously? If even rich players are struggling, how did Satoshi do it?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's just a true master of the game."

"Oh my god, this is getting a bit ridiculous and loud."

Since the world announcement, the Pokédex in Satoshi's hand hadn't stopped buzzing with notifications.

The Pokédex wasn't just a device for recording Pokémon data—it also served as a communicator.

Every player's Pokédex was automatically bound to their account, functioning much like a mobile phone. Players could use it to call each other or communicate with NPCs.

Satoshi's Pokédex now showed 999+ private messages and an overwhelming number of friend requests.

He silently deleted all the messages with a single tap and closed the friend request option.

"Forget the Alliance Coins and Great Balls. They're expensive, but you can always buy them in the store. The real treasures here are the Skill Machine and the Silver Crown!"

Skill Machine [Flamethrower]: Teaches a Pokémon the Flamethrower move instantly if compatible.

Silver Crown: A rare item with a chance to improve a Pokémon's potential.

"Haha, I got the Silver Crown just like that? I remember the rewards for world announcements in my previous life didn't include this item."

Even Satoshi couldn't suppress his excitement. In his past life, Silver Crowns were only obtainable much later in the game. To receive one so early was a game-changer.

"This must be another difference in the α version. But who cares? It's a huge win for me. Charmander, come here. Let me show you something amazing."

Satoshi's grin grew mischievous.

Charmander looked at him, tilting its head in confusion, but obediently walked over.

"First, let's use this Skill Machine."

Satoshi handed the Skill Machine [Flamethrower] to Charmander.

> "Ding! Charmander can learn [Flamethrower]. Do you want to continue?"

"Use it!"

The Skill Machine transformed into a ball of fire and enveloped Charmander. The flames imprinted the move into Charmander's mind.

> "Ding! Charmander has learned [Flamethrower]!"

"You just gotta love Skill Machines—they teach moves instantly. It's too bad they're one-time use..."

Before he could finish, the ball of fire re-formed into the Skill Machine and landed back in Satoshi's hand, still usable.

Satoshi: "???"

"Wait, isn't this supposed to be a one-time use item? Why can I use it again?"

After a moment of thought, he concluded, "Must be another α version difference. Others can only use these once, but I can use them infinitely? This is insane!"

Satoshi smirked, realizing the immense advantage this gave him. He could save the Skill Machine for future Pokémon.

"Now, for the real highlight."

Satoshi pulled out the Silver Crown, which looked just as he remembered, and gently placed it on Charmander's head.

> "Ding! Based on Charmander's current potential, the probability of a breakthrough with the Silver Crown is 35%. Do you want to proceed?"

"Use it!"

The Silver Crown set the breakthrough probability depending on a Pokémon's potential—the higher the potential, the lower the chance of success.

Charmander, with Quasi-Elite potential, was already a strong Pokémon. Above it were only Elite, Champion, and the rare Master potentials.

A 35% chance of breakthrough was normal for a Pokémon of Charmander's caliber.

Satoshi didn't hesitate. The Silver Crown was useless as a decoration, and selling it would be foolish.

> "Ding! Charmander's potential has successfully broken through! New potential: Elite!"

"Ding! World Announcement! Congratulations, Kanto Region player 'Satoshi'! Your Pokémon has become the first with Elite potential. The Pokémon Potential Leaderboard has been unlocked. Let's celebrate player 'Satoshi' as a game leader!"

> "Ding! World Announcement! Congratulations, player 'Satoshi'! You have received system rewards: 10,000 Alliance Coins, 50 Great Balls, TM: Ice Beam, 5 Rare Candies, Charizard Mega Evolution Stone (XY Universal), and Mega Key Stone!"

"...Well, I guess I don't need to search for evolution stones or Key Stones anymore," Satoshi muttered, smiling wryly.

Finally, he opened the game rankings to check his status.

[Pokémon Level Leaderboard:

1. Level 10 - Charmander, Owner: Satoshi

2. Level 7 - Staryu, Owner: Leah

3. Level 7 - Oddish, Owner: Reah

4. Level 7 - Vulpix, Owner: Brook

5. Level 6 - Plusle, Owner: [Name Hidden].

"Level 6 isn't even worth looking at. They're all so far behind."

Satoshi chuckled, noting that while some players hid their names, global announcements didn't allow it.

Moving on, he checked the Potential Leaderboard:

[Pokémon Potential Leaderboard:

1. Charmander - Elite Potential, Owner: Satoshi

2. Plusle - Gym Leader Potential, Owner: [Name Hidden]

3. Staryu - Elite Potential, Owner:Leah

4. Vulpix - Elite Potential, Owner: Brook

5. Oddish - Elite Potential, Owner: Reah]

"There are only a handful of Pokémon with Elite potential here. Meanwhile, every wild Pokémon I encounter seems to be Elite potential or higher."

Satoshi smirked. "This α version is definitely in a league of its own. I'll catch rarer, higher-potential Pokémon as I go. For now, I just need to grind."

Little did Satoshi know that as he continued leveling with Charmander, the forum discussion area had already erupted in chaos.
