The system was something both familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Shi.
If not for that mechanical voice just now, he would almost have forgotten he even had a system.
When it awakened back when he was fifteen, it gave him a Pseudo-Legendary egg, then immediately took off.
All it left behind was a system interface for checking other Pokémon's stats.
But as he grew stronger and encountered increasingly powerful Pokémon, the thing became practically useless.
Aside from their names, all he could see were question marks.
Yet that pat from Cogita today had instantly made a lot of things clear to Chen Shi.
What system? He had never really had one.
This so-called system might well have been something Cogita put together.
Chen Shi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then looked calmly at Cogita.
"Can we talk alone?"
"Sure." Cogita's eyes curved into a smile.
Cynthia and Steven saw a blur, and Chen Shi and the mysterious woman vanished before their eyes.
On Back Mountain, beneath the waterfall.
Chen Shi asked flatly, "You gave me this thing?"
"Who else?" Cogita looked rather pleased with herself.
"All those stats you saw? I split off an avatar to write them out, word by word."
Hearing that, Chen Shi almost lost his composure.
You had your damn avatar write them out word by word?
If you could write them, why did Legendary Pokémon like Rayquaza show nothing but a name, an Ability, and question marks?
After taking a moment to calm down, Chen Shi glanced at his shadow. "Since you made this thing, what about Dreepy?"
"Where did you get Dreepy?"
Cogita shrugged. "The leader of the strongest Dragapult colony in the Galar Region is still looking for its child."
Chen Shi: "..."
Fuck.
So you freaking stole Dreepy?
