After receiving the two items, Marcus opened the task panel:

[Main Quest 1: Sinnoh Gym Challenger]

[Main Quest 2: Silver Master]

[Main Quest 3: Perfect Team]

Requirement: A true Master never allows their team to have flaws. Build a perfect team where the six Pokemon each have different primary types, and their combined Same Type Attack Bonus coverage includes at least 12 types.

Reward: Choose one combat system (evolution keystone & Mega Stone, Z-Ring & Z-Crystal, Dynamax Band, or Tera Orb).

[PS: The combat systems will be explained in detail when applied. Readers who are unfamiliar with them don't need to worry~]

"Thump... thump..." Marcus looked at the panel repeatedly, his heart rate accelerating.

Mega Evolution!

Z-Move!

Dynamax!

Terastallization!

Each term made his blood boil!

In this current timeline, Mega Evolution has not yet been developed by Professor Sycamore of Kalos; Dynamax only exists in the Galar region and is not yet controllable;

Z-Move and Terastallization are also only limited to locals and have not become widespread!

In other words, once Marcus possesses any one of them, he will have an absolutely leading combat system!

Whether it's the overall boost of Mega Evolution, the decisive blow of a Z-Move, the weather-changing and field-dominating effects of Dynamax, or the unique type-changing function of Terastallization...

At this stage, any one of them could help Marcus win crucial battles!

Even fighting two tiers above isn't impossible!

Because the most terrifying thing in battle isn't power suppression, but absolute information asymmetry!

Imagine facing an Electric-type attack and suddenly using Terastallization to change your type to Ground-type, instantly gaining immunity to the opponent's attack and completely seizing the initiative in battle...

Furthermore, after knowing the opponent's move pool, choosing a type outside of their coverage to use Terastallization can also maximize your advantage!

In short, if he truly masters these combat systems, Marcus's strength will achieve a fundamental leap.

However, once he uses these items in official battles, it will quickly attract attention, thereby forcing the research and promotion of the corresponding combat systems.

Therefore, the advantage is only temporary. In the long run, he still has to rely on his own strength.

After composing himself, Marcus opened the training panel.

When Smoliv first reached its maximum species Talent Value before, the System had already prompted that only fully evolved Pokemon that have reached their maximum Talent Value can unlock the function to surpass species limits.

This time, Lopunny just met the conditions.

[Talent Cultivation]

① Talent Point Allocation

② Surpass Species Talent Value (Selectable: Lopunny)

Marcus clicked on the second option.

"Ding, the Surpass Species Talent Value function is activated. Target selected: Lopunny!"

Then a magnificent panel appeared before Marcus:

[Surpass Species Talent Value]

① Break the Limit (Through training, break the Pokemon's species Talent Value cap)

Requirement: Pay to break the limit, 1,000,000 PD per time. The price is fair and honest.

② Extreme Talent Point Allocation (After breaking the limit, you can continue to use Talent Value and master points to allocate points)

a. Within the species cap up to 600 Talent Value, 10 Talent Value or master points can be used for 1 point of extreme allocation.

b. Within the 600-680 Talent Value range, each point requires 100 Talent Value or master points.

c. Within the 680-720 Talent Value range, each point requires 1000 Talent Value or master points.

d. Self-training physical fitness or move proficiency to the extraordinary level has a chance to increase Talent Value on its own.

③ Each allocation cannot exceed 20 points, and reallocation is not possible until the Pokemon has fully adapted.

?????

"What the heck?! It all requires money, huh?"

Marcus's mouth twitched violently.

Let's do a rough calculation...

According to the System's conversion, 10,000 PD exchange for 1 master point.

So... a single breakthrough costs 1,000,000, then it's 100,000 per point up to 600 Talent Value, then 1,000,000 per point up to 680, and then 10,000,000 per point up to 720...

Taking Buneary's maximum Talent Value of 480 as an example, it requires 1,000,000 + 120 × 100,000 + 80 × 1,000,000 + 40 × 10,000,000 = 493,000,000

Which is... Four Hundred Ninety-Three Million PD!!!

"Damn... vampire capitalist System..." Marcus was speechless for a moment, "Fortunately, I can still grind for Talent Value by fighting above my level... Theoretically, as long as I grind hard enough, I can train 6 Pokemon with 720 Talent Value!

And it doesn't cost money!

Rounded up, it's like I got six creation gods for free..."

Hmm, thinking about it this way, it seems pretty good?

As a veteran player who had grinded for over ten thousand days in the Pokemon series, Marcus felt that this level of grinding was just a walk in the park~

"It's just grinding tens of thousands of battles above its level for one Pokemon! For six, it's just a few hundred thousand battles..."

"If I do three battles a day, that's nearly a hundred thousand days, just over two hundred years..."

"Easy Peasy..."

"I really can't...!!"

The more Marcus calculated, the more wrong it felt. He couldn't hold back anymore and started cursing...

"...." After cursing for a long time, Marcus fell silent.

It was truly overwhelming, both silenced and broken...

"Fine, I'll just make money and pay... I'll find some time to sell those sets of top-grade evolution stones..."

He finally accepted the fact that it was both a grind and pay-to-win...

As for the evolution stones, they didn't have much effect on his team composition. It was more suitable to exchange them for money to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

"It's also reasonable for me to spend my future wife's money, right?"

Marcus took out the three sets of top-grade evolution stones of all types from his backpack.

The market price for even the most common top-grade Water Stone is 300,000, and that's for common types.

Relatively rare Sun Stone, Moon Stone, Shiny Stone, Dusk Stone, Dawn Stone, and Ice Stone can reach 500,000 each, and they are priceless in the market!

"This girl... I wonder how long it took her to save up three sets..."

A warmth flickered in his eyes. The image of that charming and lovely figure appeared in Marcus's mind. He clenched his fists: "I'll work hard..."

What he carried was not just his own dream.

Thinking of this, Marcus strode back to his room and entered the Dream Space with his three Pokemon.

...

Johto region, Goldenrod City, Moomoo Farm.

"What?!! You're going to Unova? And your return date is undecided???"

Mary was staring at Whitney with her mouth wide open and a shocked expression.

Just now, Whitney found her and said she wanted her, her guide, to take her to Unova...

Moreover, it was to catch a mysterious and unpredictable Pokemon like Zorua!

"Wh- What's wrong? I just wanted to give Marcus a surprise..." Whitney counted on her fingers, looking pitiful: "Besides, the return date isn't undecided... Maybe we'll find it in two days after we get there?"

"I...!" Mary's chest heaved violently, her eyes nearly popping out.

"My dear young lady, can you please use your brain? Did all the nutrition go to your chest instead?!"

"That's Zorua! Some people spend their entire lives and never see one! Do you think we look like we can find one???"

"I think we might as well fast-forward from an undecided return date straight to dying in a foreign land!"
