Hextech augments were pretty important.
After all, when choosing his first Hextech augment, Xia Chi had unknowingly picked [Give Up!!!].
That had directly caused System Bro to arrive three years late.
Though, looking back, getting a Prismatic Orb from his first Hextech augment had hardly been a loss.
With that first lesson under his belt, he had to be even more careful with his second Hextech augment.
If he got something like [Pretend to Slacken Off] or [Dummy Transformation], with nothing but drawbacks, he would be better off without an augment at all.
As he thought that, System Bro's voice rang out.
[Due to the host's outstanding performance during the second-stage Battle Round, the second round of Hextech augments will be "Prismatic tier"!] [Please select one of the following three Prismatic-tier Hextech augments!] [New Recruit: Gain +1 team size and one Pokémon Shard (Ditto)!] [Chaos Summon: Gain one of the following powerful random rewards (three random Pokémon Shards for Pokémon you already own; one random three-star Pokémon and one completed item; two Artifact Forges and one Item Remover; three Thief's Gloves and one Item Remover; four random, nonrepeating Bond emblems)!] [Chosen Item+: Your Chosen Pokémon gain an additional item slot. Gain one Chosen Badge!]

But for a Prismatic-tier Hextech augment, having the same effect as a [Golden Spatula Crown] felt a little underwhelming.
Keep it on hold.
[Chaos Summon] was a bit too risky. Its rewards varied in quality.
The worst was naturally the random Pokémon Shards, which would not be much use.
A random three-star Pokémon sounded impressive,
