The Second Suicune Cup Pokémon Challenge (Please Bookmark, Vote, and Send Monthly Tickets)

Was I seeing things? Or had I eaten too much and started hallucinating?

He shook his head hard, opened his eyes, and looked again. A green data panel still floated before him, completely unchanged.

Jiang Jing's heartbeat quickened. He felt that something incredible had happened. Turning his head, he began looking for other Pokémon. Not far away, a young woman was walking a Yamper.

Pokémon: Yamper

Type: Electric

Talent: ★

Level: LV12

Ability: Pickup

He looked at several more Pokémon, and each one had different data.

A thought emerged in his mind. Could it be that I've obtained a data panel?

Could the Colorful Bead have absorbed the Pokédex data on the bus earlier, then combined it with the games, manga, novels, and anime from my previous life to create this data panel?

He was startled by his own wildly imaginative idea, but it did not seem fake.

If this Colorful Bead was his cheat, then its ability was truly terrifying.

With this data panel, he could clearly understand the details of every Pokémon from now on.

Although there were devices that could test talent and level, they were all bulky and could not be carried around. Moving them was extremely troublesome, so they could only be kept in fixed locations and carefully protected.

When battling Trainers, he could see an opponent's Pokémon data at a glance. He would have an enormous innate advantage and a greater chance of winning.

And if he ever had the chance to choose Pokémon in the future, this would also give him a huge advantage, allowing him to pick the best ones.

After calming his excitement, Jiang Jing parted ways with Grandpa Lin and returned home. The moment he entered, he saw Pikachu and Jigglypuff sitting on the living room sofa watching television. Their data appeared in his vision as well.

Pokémon: Pikachu

Type: Electric

Talent: No Star

Level: LV18

Ability: Static

Pokémon: Jigglypuff

Type: Normal, Fairy

Talent: No Star

Level: LV19

Ability: Cute Charm

Jigglypuff and Pikachu really did have No Star talent. After all, they had cost a little over three hundred back then and could only be raised as pets.

After playing with the two Pokémon for a while, he returned to his room. In the corner was a small round gray nest that Jiang's Mother had prepared for Aron.

At the same time, the data panel in his vision began changing. The reason he had rushed home was because he wanted to know Aron's talent and level.

Pokémon: Aron

Type: Steel, Rock

Talent: ★★★

Level: LV1

Ability: Heavy Metal

Three stars! Holy crap, its talent was actually three stars! He had truly found a treasure!

Jiang Jing was overjoyed. Right from the start, he had already left others far behind.

Then he recalled what had happened that afternoon. The bead on him had released unknown energy and poured it into Aron. There had been no other abnormalities, aside from its unusually high talent.

Could it have raised its talent? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The ability of his Colorful Bead was a little too powerful. This data panel and the ability to raise talent—either one alone could serve as a cheat. Now that the two had stacked together, woohoo, he was taking off.

It seemed he would need to properly study the Colorful Bead in the future.

Speaking of research, how did he turn off the data panel in front of him? Having it constantly floating before his eyes seriously affected his vision.

So he tested it cautiously. "Data panel?"

"System!"

"Turn off!"

"Big brother!"

The data panel did not react at all. He tried calling out again.

"Close!"

"No!"

"Off!"

After several words proved useless, he tried silently repeating it in his mind.

Close.

The instant that thought appeared, the data panel before his eyes vanished. He could once again see everything clearly.

Jiang Jing immediately understood. He silently repeated in his mind again.

Data panel!

But there was no reaction at all. He looked at Aron again and silently repeated in his heart.

Data panel.

The green data panel appeared before him. This time, it finally showed up.

He tested it several more times and finally confirmed how to use the data panel.

There had to be a Pokémon within his field of vision for the data panel to activate. At the same time, he needed to silently say "data panel" in his heart and think of the data panel to open it.

To close it, he only needed to silently say "close" or "turn off." It was quite convenient.

After playing around with it for a while, he lay on his bed. Once he calmed down, he could not help but start thinking again.

Since his eyes could view the data of other people's Pokémon, what should he call them?

How about Eyes of Truth?

Too cringeworthy. Forget it—he should pick a more ordinary name. Data Eye it was.

Simple and unpretentious. Anyone could tell what it did at a glance.

Mm, Data Eye it was!

After finishing all that, he checked the time. It was past ten, so he hurriedly got ready and went to bed.

June 26, clear skies, temperature: 31°C.

This time, Jiang Jing did not take the bus. Instead, he chose to walk to his destination. The weather was a little hot, and before he had walked very far, he was already sweating.

His destination was Cerulean Pokémon Supermarket, located one kilometer away from Taiyu Residential Complex. Its full name was Nationwide Cerulean Pokémon Chain Supermarket.

A Pokémon supermarket was a place that specialized in selling products related to Pokémon.

Food, Pokéblocks, clothing, toys, housing, Potions, Poké Balls, and more could all be purchased at a Pokémon supermarket. It had everything one could need.

As for his Aron, it was sleeping at home. Newly born Pokémon liked to sleep. Other than eating, all they did was sleep.

So he had not brought it with him and had let it sleep properly at home.

Along the way, whenever Jiang Jing saw a Pokémon, he could not help using Data Eye to inspect its talent and level. He never grew tired of it.

After walking for more than ten minutes, he finally arrived at his destination. The Pokémon supermarket stood on a commercial street, surrounded by rows of shops of all kinds, including pharmacies, restaurants, Berry shops, milk tea shops, and more.

There was a large flow of people, and business seemed quite good.

When Jiang Jing was still more than twenty meters away, he could already see countless people entering and leaving the Pokémon supermarket.

The enormous blue storefront stood out like a crane among chickens, exceptionally eye-catching amid the other stores. A row of cars and motorcycles was parked outside.

Advertisements filled the over-one-meter-tall display boards on both sides of the entrance, while pleasant music drifted from within the supermarket.

At the same time, four or five people dressed in Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander, and other mascot costumes handed out flyers. The LED sign above the store read: Sunday, 10% off everything at Cerulean Pokémon Supermarket.

The reason there were so many people today was because of this promotion. Otherwise, there would not have been nearly this many.

Cerulean Pokémon Supermarket was a newly opened Pokémon supermarket from last year. Another Pokémon supermarket stood just a hundred meters away, and the two were competitors.

However, due to poor management, the other store was gradually being overtaken by Cerulean Pokémon Supermarket.

Jiang Jing hurried inside and suddenly spotted an enormous banner hanging from the ceiling. It read:

The Second Suicune Cup Pokémon Challenge invites you to participate on July 25.
