Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Hoopa
After dinner, Ryo bid farewell to everyone and returned to his room ahead of time.
Sitting by the bed, he gazed at the radiant platinum treasure chest before him, its shimmering glow exuding an air of nobility.
"Finally, a higher-tier chest. I hope I get something exciting this time… I'm not greedy, just give me a Level 1 Legendary."
His eyes burned with excitement as he muttered to himself.
Ryo rubbed his hands together in anticipation and reached for the chest, all while mentally communicating with the system.
『System, open the Platinum Treasure Chest!』
As his command echoed in his mind, the chest suddenly emitted a brilliant light, as bright as the sun. The entire room was engulfed in radiance, making it even brighter than daytime.
Ryo narrowed his eyes, staring intently into the light, unfazed. His deep gaze held both nervousness and anticipation, as if trying to see through the blinding glow.
Then—
The treasure chest slowly opened.
One by one, indistinct objects floated out, wrapped in light, making it impossible to see their details.
『Congratulations! You have obtained: Mental Power Fruits ×10.』
『Congratulations! You have obtained: Cynthia's Garchomp Pack.』
『Congratulations! You have obtained: The Core Fruit of the Mysterious Tree.』
『Congratulations! You have obtained: Confined Hoopa (Lv. 60).』
『Congratulations! You have obtained: Mewtwo Mega Stones X/Y.』
『Congratulations! You have obtained: James' Kick.』
…
[Cynthia's Garchomp Pack]: Includes Cynthia's Level 87 Garchomp and its evolution set.
[Core Fruit of the Mysterious Tree]: A fruit from an ancient, legendary tree—the very first of its kind. Said to be the origin of all mysterious fruits. Can grant a Pokémon under Level 100 an instant level-up.
[Confined Hoopa]: A Mythical Pokémon with sealed powers. Although currently at Level 60, do not underestimate it—if unsealed, it will gain immense demonic strength.
[Mewtwo Mega Stones X/Y]: Allows Mewtwo to Mega Evolve into either its X or Y form.
[James' Kick]: A force beyond worldly logic. This legendary kick ignores levels and experience, forcibly triggering evolution without harming the Pokémon. If a Pokémon deeply desires to evolve, this kick increases the chances exponentially. Once evolved, the Pokémon will instantly reach the minimum level required for its new form.
"…Holy shit."
Ryo's mind blanked for a moment.
If not for the faint sounds outside, anyone who saw him would think time had stopped.
"This… This…"
After a long moment of stunned silence, his hands trembled as he looked at the items before him.
"This is absolutely insane!"
He suddenly jumped up from the bed, waving his arms wildly in excitement.
"That scared Hoopa!"
A voice suddenly rang out.
Ryo's loud outburst startled Hoopa, who had just emerged from its Poké Ball and was curiously observing its surroundings. It gave him an aggrieved look.
Hearing that, Ryo's excitement instantly vanished as he turned to look at Hoopa.
Seeing the little Pokémon floating there, he let out a deep breath, then returned its gaze with slight exasperation.
"Seriously, couldn't you just stay in your Poké Ball?"
"Do you have any idea how much of a shock it is to have a Pokémon suddenly appear like that?"
After calming himself, Ryo smiled at Hoopa and greeted it.
"Hey, Hoopa. Welcome. I'm Ryo—you can call me Ryo. From now on, we're partners."
Hoopa floated up to him, its tiny face lighting up with joy as it nodded.
"Hoopa understands! Hoopa is happy! Hoopa finally has a partner!"
Hearing that, Ryo's smile deepened. He then curiously asked,
"By the way, Hoopa… can you unseal your power?"
Hoopa's cheerful expression dimmed, and it shook its head.
"Hoopa cannot… Hoopa lost the Prison Bottle."
Ryo's excitement waned slightly at that.
The Prison Bottle—the key item needed to unseal Hoopa's full power. Without it, Hoopa would remain confined in its weaker form.
Still, he quickly dismissed his disappointment and reassured Hoopa.
"It's alright. We'll find a way. Even without unsealing, you're still really strong."
Hearing that, Hoopa's sadness disappeared, replaced by a wide smile.
"Hoopa understands! Hoopa is strong!"
Ryo chuckled and patted Hoopa's head before shifting his attention back to his newly obtained items.
First, there were the Mental Power Fruits. He was already familiar with their effects.
Looking at the ten fruits, Ryo's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"With these, my mental power should reach Kage-level, right? Even if not, I should at least hit elite Jonin peak."
Strengthening himself was always a good thing.
And this wasn't just a minor boost—it was a massive increase in power.
Without hesitating, he turned to the next item—a Poké Ball and an evolution set.
His eyes filled with envy.
"Damn it. My own Pokémon can't even Mega Evolve yet, and Cynthia's Garchomp is already getting one."
Ryo sighed.
"I open my own treasure chests, and yet the first Mega Evolution item goes to someone else's Pokémon. Just my luck."
"Ryo, what's wrong? Hoopa feels like you're unhappy."
Hoopa tilted its head curiously, watching him.
"It's nothing. Just… thinking."
Ryo shook his head and brushed it off.
Hoopa didn't press further and simply floated around, continuing to observe its new surroundings.
Meanwhile, Ryo turned his focus back to the remaining items.
Picking up a fruit similar to the mysterious ones he had seen before, he smiled.
"This is perfect. With this, Dragonite can finally break through Level 90 and reach 91, stepping into the Super Kage-level."
Dragonite had been stuck for a long time. He wasn't overly anxious, but he had been looking forward to its breakthrough.
After all, the stronger Dragonite became, the more confidence he had.
Even before this, Dragonite was already among the strongest Pokémon in his arsenal.
In the Shinobi World, it was undeniably a powerhouse.
However, it wasn't the strongest yet. Compared to someone like Nagato from the Akatsuki, it still had some gaps.
But now?
With this fruit, once Dragonite reached Level 91—
It wouldn't lose to Nagato at all.
Even if victory wasn't guaranteed, defeat was no longer an option.
