His strength grew even greater.

His reflexes, the dexterity of his fingers...

Having gotten a taste for it, Su Yi didn't hesitate to use the two remaining Self-Enhancement Potions as well.

[ Ding!...]

[ Ding!...]

"Mm..."

After being enhanced twice more, tiny black spots appeared all over Su Yi's body.

It was as if he had undergone a complete transformation, his body cleansed and renewed!

He hurriedly took a shower. He felt refreshed and full of energy.

There was no way he could sleep now...

Emm.

Time to draw!

He had received three Roulette Draw Chances. He had also earned one draw chance earlier, when all his Pokémon reached Lv. 25 during Side Quest 10, but he hadn't used it yet. That made four chances in total.

Let's see if he could get anything good.

As he focused inward, a Big Wheel draw interface appeared before Su Yi's eyes, visible only to him.

It still had the same four sections.

Scrolls, cards, Gold Coins, and three Question Mark Areas.

"System, start the draw!"

Su Yi gave the command in his mind, and the pointer on the virtual interface before his eyes began to spin.

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

The pointer spun back and forth across the four sections.

It stopped on the card section.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You've obtained a Hidden Ability Activation Card!]

Description: The Hidden Ability Activation Card can be used on a Pokémon with a Hidden Ability to help it activate that ability!

Nice!

What a great item!

Su Yi rubbed his hands together. Good things always lifted his spirits. He hadn't expected another great item from the draw. System, you really are a great system.

Keep going!

Su Yi began his second draw, and the pointer started spinning again.

This time, it stopped on one of the three Question Mark Areas!

This was the second time Su Yi had drawn a Question Mark Area. What would he get?

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You've obtained a Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator ×1]

Su Yi blinked. A Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator?

"System, how do I use the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator? What kind of energy does it need?"

It was just what he needed. He had two Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Eggs. What was he short on?

Time and energy to hatch them!

Wouldn't the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator be the perfect solution to his immediate problem?

[ Ding! The Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator only requires the host to put enough Gold Coins into it to speed up the hatching of Pokémon Eggs!]

Gold Coins would do? That worked.

The Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator was stored directly in Spatial Storage. Whenever he needed it, Su Yi could retrieve it with a thought.

One more Roulette Draw Chance!

Keep going!

The third draw!

Su Yi gave the command in his mind. Anything but Gold Coins. He'd take anything else.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You've obtained a Random Experience Critical Hit Card!]

[ Ding! The Random Experience Critical Hit Card allows the host to select any Spirit Battle and use the card. The Pokémon that wins the battle will receive a random experience multiplier of 1–10 times!]

Great stuff, great stuff!

All three items were great!

Unable to contain his excitement any longer, Su Yi walked out of his room alone.

He had one final draw chance. He'd use it!

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You've obtained an Enhanced Good Luck Card!]

As the name suggested, it was even better than the Good Luck Card!

Wonderful!

The night was quiet.

Su Yi called out his four Pokémon.

"Fro!"

"Chamo!"

"Yee..."

"Wuu-ne~"

Frogadier, Combusken, Vibrava, and Ampharos.

"Great. Everyone's been working hard lately, and I've noticed. Ampharos, especially—you were the last to join the team, but you quickly built a solid foundation and completed your second-stage evolution. Still, you'll need to keep practicing and strengthening yourself. You can Mega Evolve, after all."

"Wuu-ne~~"

The pink-and-white Ampharos affectionately rubbed its cheek against Su Yi's, then nodded.

It was indicating that it would work hard.

"Good. The rest of you should work hard together, too. Combusken, come here."

Combusken looked a little confused when Su Yi called for it, but it obediently walked over to him.

Both Combusken and its evolved form, Blaziken, had a Hidden Ability called Speed Boost.

"System, designate Combusken as the target and use the Hidden Ability Activation Card!"

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! The Hidden Ability Activation Card was used successfully. Combusken has successfully activated its Hidden Ability, Speed Boost!]

Once the card was used, Combusken activated its Hidden Ability, Speed Boost.

Speed Boost: At the end of each action, the user's Speed increases by one stage when it begins its next action. The maximum increase is six stages.

It was an almost broken Hidden Ability.

"Chamo?"

Combusken felt as if a special power had appeared inside it. According to its awakened memories, it seemed to be its Hidden Ability—but it hadn't awakened one before.

"Combusken, don't be surprised. It's your Hidden Ability."

Su Yi looked at Combusken, and its information appeared before his eyes.

"Pokémon": Combusken "Potential": Purple "Level": Lv.32 "Type": Fire, Fighting "Ability": Blaze "Hidden Ability": Speed Boost [Activated] "Learned Moves": Scratch, Growl, Ember, Sand Attack, Peck, Double Kick, Flame Charge, Quick Attack, Double Team, Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Focus Energy

Good, very good. With Speed Boost, Combusken's Speed would increase with every action, up to the maximum. Its ability to take on opponents above its level had grown even stronger!

"Chamo, chamo!"

Combusken nodded vigorously.

There were also Attack Enhancement Potions and Speed Enhancement Potions. Who should he use them on?

As the name suggested, an Attack Enhancement Potion strengthened a Pokémon's base Attack.

A move's power depended on the move's strength and the Pokémon's base Attack or base Special Attack.

Combusken no longer needed the Speed Enhancement Potion.

"System, designate Frogadier, Vibrava, and Ampharos as the targets. Use the Speed Enhancement Potions!"

There were exactly three Speed Enhancement Potions.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! The Speed Enhancement Potions were used successfully. Their Speed has increased!]

"Now designate Vibrava as the target and use one Attack Enhancement Potion!"

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! The Attack Enhancement Potion was used successfully. Vibrava's Attack has increased!]

Once Vibrava evolved into Flygon, its physical Attack would be higher.

Frogadier and its evolved form, Greninja—or Greninja's Bond Evolution form—as well as Ampharos and its Mega Evolution form, all had higher Special Attack than physical Attack, so there was no need to use the potions on them for now.

He still had two Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon that hadn't hatched yet.

He'd save the two Attack Enhancement Potions for them.

As for the Speed Enhancement Potions, that was all for now. He'd probably draw more in the future.

And since there were potions for Attack and Speed, there were surely potions for Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and HP as well.

After making all the decisions, Su Yi checked the time. It was already three in the morning.

The night breeze blew gently, but Su Yi didn't feel sleepy at all.

His four newly enhanced Pokémon weren't sleepy either. Instead, they were eager to test themselves against each other, as if they were looking for an opponent to battle.

Back in his room, he carefully thought through his plans.

He definitely had to deal with the Zhang Family. He should also prepare for the Murong Family in advance. Perhaps taking the initiative was the best approach.

As for the Ning Family, Ning Zhi didn't seem like a fool. As long as Su Yi didn't go looking for trouble with them, why would they come after him?

"I'll go straight to Jingtian Academy to register, then look into the whereabouts of Legendary Pokémon there. Maybe I can find out why Raikou appeared in that place. It might not have been because of the Electromagnet Stone, after all."

"After that, I'll look for a chance to hatch the two Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon at Jingtian Academy, then head straight into the Spirit Primal Forest to raise their strength."

"Before entering the Spirit Primal Forest, I'll need to go to the Pokémon League and get my official Trainer ID. I'll need it after graduating from Spirit University, too, when I collect eight Gym Badges."

Su Yi organized everything he needed to do.

In the morning, the family ate together. Su Xiyan's parents had returned to work, having only come back after taking leave.

Su Xiyan gently prepared Su Yi's luggage.

Before he left, Su Xiyan tidied his hair and clothes once more.

"All right, let's go. I'll take you there."

Su Xiyan said firmly. She was worried that other people—or underground forces lurking in the shadows—might attack Su Yi.
