Cheat/System and Reality

"Verification passed. Mission confirmed complete."

"Your mission difficulty rating was C. Completion rate: 100%. Earnings: 50,000 Alliance Coins (after tax), which have been deposited into your ID Card.

You have completed 0 S-rank Missions, 0 A-rank Missions, 1 B-rank Mission, 42 C-rank Missions, 132 D-rank Missions, and 201 E-rank or lower missions. Your current Hunter rank is C."

Text flashed rapidly across the machine.

Tetsuya paid it no mind. After confirming the payment had arrived, he pulled out his ID Card and left the Hunter Hall.

He first went to the department store to buy some Pokemon food and daily necessities. Then, for 50 Alliance Coins, he took a Dodrio taxi back to his small villa on the outskirts of Viridian City, where several common Berry Trees grew behind the house.

Viridian City was close to Viridian Forest and sparsely populated. While housing prices downtown were not low, properties in the suburbs were quite affordable.

Besides, even downtown prices were only so-so. Most Trainers and Hunters who came to adventure did not stay long-term, and the rooms at the Pokemon Center were enough for them.

At the very least, Tetsuya had seen that his little suburban villa was worth about the same as a single toilet in Saffron City. In Viridian City's center, that money would only buy a tiny one-room bungalow. It was absurd.

Still, it was not hard to understand. Pokemon occasionally ran out of Viridian Forest, and the more aggressive ones even entered houses to attack humans.

That was why most people preferred living downtown, where they did not have to worry about such trouble or danger.

But it didn't matter to Tetsuya. He was a Trainer, after all, and dealing with such problems was easy enough.

After returning home, he released Pidgeotto, poured some food favored by Bird Pokemon into its dedicated bowl, added food from his own secret recipe, then placed a bowl of Miltank milk beside it.

Once Pidgeotto began eating, Tetsuya went into the bathroom to shower.

After showering, Tetsuya walked out while drying his hair. His bare upper body was covered in scars left over from the past few years.

The eight-pack on his abdomen and the powerful biceps on his arms spoke of Tetsuya's excellent Physical Fitness.

Pidgeotto had already finished dinner and was enjoying Free Time in the Back Garden.

Tetsuya dropped onto the sofa and silently said, "Zero, open Pidgeotto's panel."

As his thoughts shifted, streams of data and reports rapidly flowed into his mind. A blue panel visible only to him Appeared In Front Of Tetsuya's eyes.

Pidgeotto

Category: Bird Pokemon

Type: Normal/Flying

Height: 1.3 m (Average Value: 1.1 m)

Weight: 36 kg (Average Value: 30 kg)

Ability: Keen Eye (Thanks to its sharp gaze, its accuracy cannot be lowered.)

Hidden Ability: Big Pecks (It is unaffected by Defense-lowering effects, and Pokemon with this Ability are stronger than others of the same species.)

Level: 33 (Elite)

Potential: Champion

Training Plan: Targeted strengthening training is recommended for this Pokemon's Dual Wingbeat. Massage and relaxation should follow weight training; the specific techniques are as follows:

Reaction Speed enhancement is recommended, supplemented by a neural agent. Formula: 20 g Sparkle Grass.

Bone strength enhancement is recommended, supplemented by a bone-strengthening diet. Formula: 10 g Cubone's Bone Club, 20 g Miltank milk.

Seeing the data Zero provided, Tetsuya's eyes lit up. Pidgeotto's level had risen by one compared to yesterday. While level did not completely represent strength, it accurately reflected a Pokemon's current condition.

Tetsuya did not know what level Quasi-Elite Four would display as on the panel. For now, he only knew that levels below 5 were juvenile, levels 5 to 15 were beginner, levels 15 to 30 were ordinary, and once Pidgeotto passed level 30, it had become Elite.

Judging by this arithmetic progression, Quasi-Elite Four had to begin at level 45 at the very least, with level 50 highly likely to be the dividing line.

Tetsuya did not know at what level Pidgeotto would normally evolve. Based on his experience and knowledge, his Pidgeotto would definitely evolve into Pidgeot after gaining at most another three or four panel levels.

With a thought, Tetsuya closed the panel and began eating the dinner he had brought home.

Zero was the thing that had accompanied Tetsuya when he transmigrated into this world. Though he did not know exactly what had happened, it was probably connected to the intelligent computer chip implanted in his brain in his Past Life. Perhaps the chip and his soul had fused together during the passage through time and space.

Tetsuya had not initially known that he had brought the chip with him when he transmigrated.

It was not until he was eleven that a Voice Sounded in his mind: "Energy full. Beginning activation." He instinctively called the name of Zero, his intelligent chip from his Past Life, and this panel appeared.

Tetsuya discovered that as long as he observed a Pokemon within his field of vision, the panel would automatically display all the information above, including a Training Plan. However, it was merely compiled Based On his own knowledge.

Therefore, when it came to Wild Pokemon and Pokemon Eggs, Zero could only determine their approximate levels and potential. It could not provide further plans because Tetsuya lacked a deeper understanding of them.

Only after a Pokemon became his and was carefully raised, with complete data available, could Zero provide more detailed plans and information on its mastery of moves.

Even that was enough to make the younger Tetsuya overjoyed.

The Pokemon World revolved around creatures known as Pokemon and had all kinds of professions, such as researchers, Breeders, and Trainers. Setting aside the many smaller classifications, becoming an advanced Trainer was the profession everyone dreamed of.

Zero could undoubtedly help him become an outstanding Trainer and Breeder.

As long as he learned enough, even if he did not know how to carry something out himself, Zero could offer the most reasonable advice.

The level display allowed him to clearly track his Pokemon's strength progression. Potential let him select exceptional Pokemon. The Training Plan was the foundation of his growth.

Unfortunately, all of it required money.

Tetsuya gave a bitter smile.

Although Tetsuya had earned quite a bit of money through his own abilities during the four years he had lived independently, it was regrettably only a drop in the bucket when it came to raising Pokemon.

Tetsuya looked toward Pidgeotto outside the door.

When Tetsuya had first discovered that he possessed a Cheat/System, he had thought he was the center of the world. All he could think about was starting with a Pseudo-Legendary.

But he quickly calmed down. Forget Pseudo-Legendaries—even the Starter Pokemon distributed by the League to its direct descendants were beyond his reach. He probably could not even obtain a slightly inferior Pokemon Egg.

After all, the strong ruled this world, and a Pokemon with outstanding aptitude had a High Probability of creating an exceptional Trainer.

Why were Pseudo-Legendaries so sought after? Was it not because every kind of Pseudo-Legendary, once properly raised and evolved into its Final Form, could at least reach the Quasi-Elite Four Level? Most would eventually become Champions, while the few with exceptional talent even had a chance to challenge for the title of champion.

As a result, powerful Pseudo-Legendary young were controlled by this world's ruling class. Even if a Pseudo-Legendary Egg appeared on the Black Market, its price was beyond what Tetsuya dared imagine.

As for Starter Pokemon, they were Pokemon each region distributed to its own direct descendants along with a Pokedex. The basic requirements were paying 500,000 every year for ten consecutive years, having a clear financial background, and coming from a family of high-ranking League insiders. It was simply unrealistic for Tetsuya.
