Spirit Dimension: Tricking Groudon at the Start

Spirit Dimension: Starting by Bamboozling Groudon. Author: Spirit Zihan.

Starting off with a Groudon, Su Yi began his grand scheme of bamboozlement.

Su Yi: "Groudon, do you want to fly? Do you want to properly teach Kyogre and Rayquaza a lesson when you meet them in the future? How about this, let's make a deal..."

Su Yi's system granted him a Groudon as a guardian right from the start, but according to the system's rules, Groudon would only intervene when his life was in danger. To ensure his own development went more smoothly, Su Yi activated his bamboozlement mode to trick Groudon!

Yet, he never expected that his bamboozlement would actually succeed in the end!

In the sky, Groudon floated while brandishing its Cliff Sword, with Kyogre and Rayquaza lying defeated not far away.

It cast a domineering gaze in all directions:

"Who else dares to say I can't fly!!!"

"I hope that in the upcoming graduation exam, everyone can perform to their normal standard. The senior year graduation Spirit exam concerns your future career paths. Your parents have worked hard to provide your tuition and send you to the best Spirit Academy in South Lake Province. Whether you will fade into the crowd or be able to get into university and soar high, it all depends on this senior year graduation Spirit exam."

Homeroom teacher Su Xiyan looked at the first class she had ever led and began the task assigned by the school—the daily dose of inspirational chicken soup.

South Lake Province First Spirit Academy was the name of this institution.

Named "First," the academy truly lived up to the title.

Every year, among the high school graduates nationwide, many students from South Lake Province First Spirit Academy were able to pass the graduation trial.

"I'm a bit nervous. I wonder what my starter Spirit will be like?"

"I hope I can get a Fire Type Spirit. I love flames the most."

"By the way, I wonder what the starter Spirit of our homeroom teacher's younger brother, the number one genius of our Spirit Academy, will be?"

"The homeroom teacher must have chosen something incredibly awesome for him. After all, our homeroom teacher is a Heavenly King Level Spirit Trainer."

"..."

All the students felt a sense of nervousness upon hearing about the senior year graduation trial.

"Alright, everyone, take out yesterday's Spirit Exam Paper and discuss the questions you got wrong among yourselves first."

After finishing her inspirational speech, Su Xiyan took out the simulated Spirit exam papers from yesterday.

Su Yi felt a throbbing pain in his head.

Before even opening his eyes, he patted his head.

"I shouldn't have played games so late last night..."

He had stayed up all night playing the Pokémon game.

He had fallen asleep without realizing it.

Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open.

"I'm going to be late!"

Wherever his gaze landed, he saw the familiar faces of his classmates.

The homeroom teacher was also his own sister.

But the topics they were discussing...

"How could you get this question wrong? I'm literally losing my mind!"

"Besides Flying Type, what other type does Taillow have..."

"What is the function of the red horns on Ralts' head? What kind of human jobs can they be applied to?"

"If you were given the chance to choose six Spirits to form a team, how would you select the most suitable Spirits from the Water Type, Grass Type, Fire Type, and Flying Type?"

What the hell!

What is going on!

He woke up to find the world turned upside down!

Well, after a few minutes, Su Yi accepted the reality.

He didn't know how it happened, but after staying up late to beat a Pokémon game level he hadn't cleared in a long time, he woke up and the world had changed.

At least his body was still his, and his soul was still his; it wasn't him that had changed, but this world...

Many memories belonging to this world began to appear in his mind without any sense of incongruity.

More than half of the people in this world were Spirit Trainers.

However, it seemed that some information regarding Spirits was not entirely comprehensive.

He was now a senior in high school, preparing to choose his starter Spirit and participate in the graduation trial.

"My sister is actually a Heavenly King Level Trainer now?"

Hiss...

Seems like she's pretty impressive...

"Waking up to a world transformed, I must be the protagonist of one of those legendary web novels, right? System, shouldn't you be waking up too?"

Su Yi tentatively muttered to himself in his heart.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the system has awakened, binding to the sole host successful!]

Very good, the standard protagonist system has arrived.

Next up, the system starter pack!

[Ding! Reminder to the host, would you like to open the system gift pack?]

Open it, what are we waiting for!

Before Su Yi's eyes, a virtual screen that only he could see suddenly appeared.

[Ding! To ensure the host can grow smoothly, the system gift pack provides one free spin of the Big Wheel. Please begin the draw to select your guardian and escort you on your journey!]

As expected, this Big Wheel must be the golden finger the system prepared for him.

A free draw, a guardian?

Su Yi's breathing suddenly grew rapid.

My god, what was he seeing?

On the Big Wheel, the guardians included Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, as well as Celebi, the bug-tier artifact Hoopa, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza!

"Conscientious system, anyone is fine, just don't give me the flightless Groudon and we're good. Start the draw!"

With so many legendary beasts, only Groudon couldn't fly—how heartless!

With so many legendary beasts, anyone would do, just not Groudon!

With a thought, Su Yi began the draw!

The pointer began to spin.

In Su Yi's eyes, the speed of the spinning pointer began to slow down.

Su Yi's gaze remained fixed on the sections for Rayquaza, Dialga, and the bug-tier beast Hoopa.

He liked these three the most; anyone would do!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully drawn Groudon as your guardian. Please follow the system prompts to complete the beginner's guide.]

Su Yi: ???.

Su Yi: ???

Su Yi felt like he was falling apart on the spot.

With so many guardian beasts, anyone would do, just don't give me Groudon!

"System, I want a refund!"

[Ding! Reminder to the host, do you wish to give up Groudon as your guardian? Once abandoned, there will be no second chance.]

"Don't!"

Su Yi was startled.

This system was a death trap; it promised a draw for a guardian, and out of so many legendary beasts, it just had to pick Groudon.

A massive pit!

But, a legendary beast is still a legendary beast!

If he could get Groudon to listen, then wherever Su Yi looked, the Cliff Sword would strike—wouldn't that be sweet?

At the very least, it was a legendary beast, and a damn powerful one at that, aside from the whole not-flying thing!

The world is treacherous; having a legendary beast as a guardian is naturally the best thing possible.

After choosing to accept the opportunity, Su Yi's consciousness suddenly felt a scorching aura.

An overwhelming sense of Pressure surged toward him like a tidal wave.

Su Yi's consciousness arrived in a special space.

Inside the space, besides him, stood a towering, massive, fire-red figure.

This thing, which looked like a majestic mountain, was Groudon.

"Roar..."

Groudon opened its eyes, sensing Su Yi's presence.

It curiously felt the space around it; just a moment ago, an irresistible force had dragged it in here.

That power was too strong; even it couldn't resist being pulled inside.

[Ding! Please follow the prompts to complete the beginner's guide.]

The system popped up again, and in front of Su Yi, a Master Ball materialized!

This was a custom-made one from the system, capable of capturing Groudon directly.

[Beginner's Guide: Please use the Master Ball to capture Groudon, complete the guardian binding, and unlock the remaining system functions.]

Su Yi took the Master Ball and tapped it against Groudon, pulling it inside.

Because of the system's power, Groudon did not resist, nor did it have any intention of doing so.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the tutorial is complete, and the quest function is now enabled!]

[Ding! Main Quest 1 issued—please complete the senior high school graduation trial exam and secure first place. Quest reward: Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg x1!]

[Ding! Main Quest 2 issued—please assemble your first Pokémon team. Quest reward: Legendary Pokémon Traces Scroll!]

[Ding! Side Quest 1 issued—please successfully obtain your own starter Pokémon. Quest reward: Eye of Investigation!]

[Ding! Side Quest 2 issued—please use your starter Pokémon to engage in one Spirit Battle with any trainer. Quest reward: Spatial Storage!]

[Ding! Side Quest 3 issued—please use your starter Pokémon to capture any Pokémon that has not been captured before. Quest reward: one Roulette Draw Chance!]

Good heavens, it's just like playing a game. Aside from the Main Quests which will take some time, the Side Quests are basically free rewards.

However, before that, Su Yi still needed to accomplish one thing. He took the Master Ball and released Groudon once again.

Fortunately, he was still in a special space. Standing before Groudon's towering, massive body, Su Yi felt like nothing more than an ant.

"Um, Groudon, you can hear me, right?"

Groudon: "..."

Ignoring me?
