, the Reverse Attribute Master series achievement, is now available! Mega version released

The smoke and dust completely dissipated.

Xiao Gang stood at the other end of the field, quietly watching his Onix lying on the ground, remaining silent for several seconds.

Then, he exhaled a long, slow breath.

The expression on his face gradually changed from shock and bewilderment to... relief and acceptance.

"well……"

Another signature sigh.

He shook his head, stepped forward, and used a Poké Ball to recall Onix.

"Thank you for your hard work, Onix. Get some rest now."

Turning around, he looked at Jiang Chuan. His squinty eyes had returned to their usual appearance, but now they held a hint of emotion and appreciation.

"I lost."

"I accept defeat wholeheartedly."

"Whether it's that incredible Pikachu, or this... oversized Pidgeotto, or you."

As he spoke, he took out a delicate little box from his pocket and opened it.

Inside lay a quiet octagonal gray badge with rock-like patterns on the edges and a calm, dark gray center.

"This is the grey badge of the Pewter Dojo."

Xiao Gang solemnly took out the badge and handed it to Jiang Chuan.

"You won it with true strength. Not just strength, but also your keen insight into weaknesses and your decisive execution of tactics. You are an exceptional trainer."

Jiang Chuan reached out and took it.

The badge feels slightly cool to the touch, with a texture unique to rocks.

Congratulations, Jiang Chuan!

Xiaoxia immediately skipped over, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

She reached out and patted Jiang Chuan's shoulder, quite forcefully.

"First badge obtained! Although it was a rookie-like approach, it's still pretty good."

She raised her chin, her tone once again carrying that familiar arrogance.

"However, the road ahead is still long! You need eight badges to participate in the Indigo League!"

"You've only got one-eighth of it. Remember your little goal!"

She deliberately drew out her words, a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes.

"You're still a long way from your lofty ideal of 'winning the championship'!"

Hanako then walked over gently.

She looked at the gray badge in Jiang Chuan's palm, her eyes filled with relief and joy.

Hearing Xiaoxia's words, she naturally responded, her voice soft yet firm:

"It's okay, no matter how long the road is, I will walk it with Jiang Chuan."

Her gaze fell on Jiang Chuan's profile, and the tenderness and trust in her eyes were almost overflowing.

Xia immediately turned her head and made a face at Hanako.

"Hanako-nee! You're spoiling him way too much!"

"If we spoil him like this, he'll become lazy, complacent, and unambitious!"

"Trainers can't always stay in a comfortable environment!"

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her budding chest, striking a pose of a senior who was "doing it for your own good."

Hanako tilted her head slightly, a look of confusion and bewilderment on her face.

"Oh? Is that so? I just... spoke my mind."

She looked at Jiang Chuan with clear eyes.

"Oh dear~ I just can't spoil him too much..."

Xiaoxia started rambling on about the path she had figured out for herself as a trainer.

Watching the three interact naturally, especially Hanako's wholehearted trust and companionship with Jiang Chuan, Xiao Gang couldn't help but feel a deep sense of envy.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

"What an enviable team atmosphere... and they have clear goals to pursue."

He sighed and looked towards the back of the dojo where he could faintly hear his younger siblings playing.

"Me... I usually find it hard to even squeeze out a whole day to learn more about Pokémon food preparation."

"I have to manage the dojo, take care of my younger siblings, provide three meals a day, and manage their daily routines... sigh."

His tone carried a subtle hint of weariness and longing.

Just then.

Jiang Chuan suddenly raised his voice, as if asking casually, but his gaze flicked toward the entrance of the dojo.

"Oh? Don't your parents help out at home? It must be tough for you to carry so many kids all by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously spoke:

"My father..."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Xiao Gang!!!"

A loud shout, full of energy yet trembling with obvious excitement, rang out from the entrance of the dojo.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Wu Neng, who had been keeping quiet all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He took off the old, worn-out hat he always wore and tidied his hair, trying to make Xiao Gang recognize him.

Xiao Gang froze.

Those squinting eyes were fixed on the familiar yet unfamiliar figure at the doorway.

Wu Neng strode in, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield before finally settling on his eldest son, Xiao Gang.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Xiaogang, and spoke in a deep but clear voice:

"Xiao Gang...it's me."

"I'm back."

"I'm sorry... all these years, I've left the dojo, my younger siblings, and all the heavy burdens on you alone."

Wu Neng's voice was choked with emotion as he rubbed his face vigorously.

"I...I am not a good father, much less a good dojo master."

"But from today onwards, I swear, I will stay! I will take on all the responsibilities I have! I will help you manage the dojo, and I will learn to take good care of the younger brothers and sisters!"

"Give me... give me a chance to make amends, son!"

He reached out, seemingly wanting to pat Xiaogang on the shoulder, but then hesitated and stopped in mid-air.

The dojo was completely silent.

The younger children in the stands were also leaning over the railing, watching this scene with curiosity and bewilderment.

The dramatic scene that I had envisioned—father and son embracing, tears streaming down their faces, shouting their reconciliation—did not occur.

Xiao Gang just stared at Wu Neng quietly for a good ten seconds.

then.

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

The expression on his face quickly shifted from initial shock to a... relieved calm, and an even more obvious weariness.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

"Okay, Dad, welcome back."

Then, under Wu Neng's somewhat bewildered gaze, Xiao Gang turned around and began to point towards the stands in a steady but rapid tone.

"Taking care of younger siblings is not easy."

"First, there's Jiro, who's eight years old. He needs to be called more than three times to wake up in the morning, but he can dress himself. He likes sweets, but you can't give him too many, especially at night, or he'll have a toothache and cry."

"The one to Sanlang's left is Xiaomei. She's been a bit picky about food lately. She'll only eat carrots if they're chopped up and mixed into mashed potatoes."

"The one on the right is...?"

"The bedrooms on the second floor are assigned as follows..."

"The gym's routine maintenance includes checking the stability of the rock walls every Monday and Thursday, promptly filling cracks in the ground, and using a special tool to clean up skill traces..."

"The alliance's written reports must be submitted by the 5th of each month; the format is in the second drawer on the left..."

"The family's mining business needs..."

"The schedule for my younger siblings' school parent-teacher meetings is posted on the refrigerator..."

"..."

Xiao Gang speaks at a steady pace, clearly and logically, covering every detail, like the most sophisticated instrument outputting data.

Wu Neng initially tried to listen attentively, but soon became flustered, frantically searching for paper and pen.

"Wait, wait a minute! Xiaogang! Speak slowly! I... I'll write this down! Pen! Paper!"

He almost tripped over himself, frantically rummaging through his pockets until he finally pulled out a crumpled notebook and half a pencil. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he began to take notes.

"Jiro... call me three times... sweets... toothache... Xiaomei... carrots... mashed potatoes..."

He wrote very quickly, his handwriting was messy, and he kept muttering the same thing to himself.

His flustered yet desperate attempt to remember everything diluted the heavy atmosphere from before, instead adding a touch of comicality.

Xiaoxia couldn't help but burst out laughing, and quickly covered her mouth.

Hanako covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes gentle.

Jiang Chuan watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips.

at the same time.

[Ding! The Martial Arts Awakening Quest has been completed!]

[Quest Reward: Everstone, already added to system inventory.]

[Ding! Pewter City Gym Challenge (Reverse Type Version) has been completed!]

[Task Reward: Premium Metal Film, already added to system inventory.]

Two consecutive system notifications rang in my mind.

Jiang Chuan was certain.

Both tasks were successfully completed.

He was particularly pleased with the arrival of the "premium metal film".

This thing is a real hard currency in this world, with extremely high economic value, and its market price is basically over one million Alliance Coins.

For the average trainer, this is like becoming rich overnight.

However, Jiangchuan is not particularly short of money right now.

More importantly, in this world where Pokémon power determines everything, as long as a Pokémon's battle strength increases, money, resources, status, and so on will naturally come to it.

Therefore, what Jiang Chuan values ​​is the combat power value represented by this "premium metal film"!

Whether used on existing Steel-type Pokémon, it greatly enhances their physical strength and the power of Steel-type moves;

It is still used for the evolution of specific Pokémon.

For example, evolve Scyther into the more agile and powerful Scizor;

Alternatively, evolve Onix into Steelix, which possesses a body of both rock and steel and terrifying physical defense!

The latter, in particular, captivated Jiang Chuan.

In his mind, he already had two excellent "candidates":

First, there's the legendary "Giant Onix" leader from Miachashan, whose size far surpasses that of its kind! Its innate foundation and potential must be astonishing!

Secondly, there's the unique "Crystal Onix" from the Orange Islands, whose body is made of crystal! Its attributes may be special, its form is absolutely rare, and it may undergo unexpected mutations after evolution!

Both of these are targets he must acquire in his future plans!

Premium metallic film is one of the keys prepared for them!

Just as Jiang Chuan was secretly calculating the best way to use the metal film.

[Ding! The series of achievement quests—Master of Reverse Attributes—has been unlocked!]

A new system notification sounded out of the blue!

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully defeated Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader, using a type disadvantage technique, unlocking the hidden achievement "Type Disadvantage Master"!]

[Mission Requirements: To obtain the eight gym badges needed to participate in the Indigo League, at least three badges must be obtained through "Type Reversal Challenges".]

[Quest Reward: 1 Superior Mega Evolution Key Stone]

[Reward Description: This Key Stone is of extremely high quality, with stable and abundant energy. It can simultaneously activate the Mega Evolution form of up to three Pokémon that are already bound to the corresponding Mega Stone!]

[Special Warning: The more Mega Evolution forms you activate, the greater the mental strain on your mental energy. Please proceed with caution based on your own capabilities. Overuse may lead to mental shock.]

Jiang Chuan's heart stirred.

Oh ho?

I just wanted to get a higher quality metal film, but I didn't expect to trigger a series of achievement tasks.

System, are you forcing me to go down the "evil path" of "Master of Reverse Attributes" to the very end?

but……

This is the reward for the task!

The ultimate Mega Evolution Key Stone!

It's still a top-tier item that can support the Mega Evolution of three Pokémon at the same time!

Jiang Chuan immediately thought of his mission regarding the "Charizard Mega Evolution Stone".

I originally thought that even if I obtained the Mega Stone, I would have to wait until I went to the Kalos region or by chance to come into contact with the power of Mega Evolution.

Now, the keystone has arrived ahead of schedule!

Is this a ploy to make me show off Mega Evolution at the Indigo League?

Using power from a future version to "destroy" the current Indigo League?

Did the Trisolarans beat up the primitive humans?

Imagine the shocked expressions on the faces of those opponents when Charizard or other Pokémon suddenly change form or experience a surge in power during a match…

Ok……

like……

That's pretty cool!

Row!

It's done!

Since the system has already paved the way, then we won't be polite!

From this moment on, I will walk this broad road of "Master of Reverse Attributes" all the way to the end!

With a slight thought, he decisively accepted the series of tasks.

After accepting the task, Jiang Chuan stopped bothering Wu Neng and Xiao Gang, who were already in the "work handover" phase.

Xiao Gang was still talking non-stop, while Wu Neng had already filled several pages with notes, sweating profusely, but listening intently.

Jiang Chuan nodded to Xiao Gang as a farewell.

Xiao Gang also paused his narration for a moment and returned a grateful and blessing look to him.

Jiang Chuan turned around and, with Hanako and Xiaoxia, quietly left the Pewter Gym, which had just experienced a special challenge.
