Chapter 2
: Battles, Searches, Temporary Levels
"Younggiras, use Rockfall on Ponyta!"
"Young Yoshi!"
A tender roar rang out as stones coalesced. Young Gilas mobilized the rock-type power within its body to create stones of varying sizes around itself, then manipulated them to crash into the little pony not far away.
"Hiss~"
At the forefront of a herd of small fire horses, one of them let out a defiant roar, its mouth condensing into bursts of flame.
spark!
Although it's just the weakest fire-attribute skill, in reality it's enough to burn wood into charcoal in a short time.
Although this little pony is level twelve, which is a full seven levels higher than the newborn baby Gilas, the type advantage easily erases the gap.
bang~
The rocks collided with the flames, and two-thirds of the falling rocks, retaining their original shape, crushed the flames and rushed towards the little fire horse not far away, finally crashing down on him.
With a soft thud, the little pony's body swayed and fell onto the lawn.
The victor is Young Kylas!
"Young Yoshi!"
Seeing the fallen Ponyta, Young Gilas eagerly turned to his trainer, raising his little hand high, looking just like a child seeking praise.
Xia Ming didn't hold back his praise either, rushing over to Young Gilas and squatting down to stroke his head:
"Well done, Young Gilgamesh! Keep winning like this in the future!"
"Yoji~"
Young Gilas rubbed against Xia Ming's palm a couple of times, then patted his chest as if to guarantee that he would complete the mission.
After encouraging Young Gilas, Xia Ming got up and walked towards the fallen Ponyta. The herd of Ponyta in the distance did not stop him, as if they knew what he was about to do.
Xia Ming squatted down next to Ponyta and stretched out his hand. A light blue screen, visible only to trainers like them, appeared:
[Rescue] [Subjugate] [Search]
The process of searching, defeating, and withdrawing always involves searching; every defeated Pokémon is like a container that can be searched.
However, they generally only drop berries, berries, complete evolution stones, evolution stone fragments, and some special drops. For example, Shellder and Cloyster can drop valuable items such as pearls and large pearls, and Meowth can drop gold beads, etc.
"search."
Clicking the search button, a stream of data appeared on the open ground next to Xia Ming in no time, eventually forming two red spheres.
Although berries are a type of berry, they are generally used to make Poké Balls, and their taste is not as good as berries. They are mostly classified as emergency food by Pokémon.
After completing the search, Xia Ming had no intention of taming the little fire horse, so he clicked the rescue option.
With a burst of fluorescent green light shining on the little horse, it instantly regained its energetic state.
"Hiss~"
Once recovered, the little pony nudged Xia Ming's chest with its head, then stuck out its tongue and licked his cheek before running contentedly back to its herd.
【Rescue】is not Xia Ming's ability, but Arceus's power. Every wild Pokémon defeated by a trainer can be 【rescued】by the trainer. This will only restore them to health and prevent them from battling a second time.
If someone is ruthless, they might choose to ignore it after searching.
After doing all this, Xia Ming first picked up the tree fruit at his feet and threw it into the small backpack on his back. It was a miniature space backpack that the school had issued before he entered this place, which could hold about the size of a standard 30cm long and wide box.
Then he waved to the herd of ponytails in the distance:
"Anyone else want to fight me?"
"Hiss~"
The call was answered, and a small fire horse, slightly larger than the previous one, stepped out of the herd and stood excitedly in front of Xia Ming.
Clearly, he was the second challenger.
Xia Ming also quickly retreated to stand behind Youngkiras, gazing at his back before the battle began, and whispered to himself:
"Check."
Name: Eurythras
Level: 5 (9)
Strength range: Common Pokémon
Qualifications: Average
Skills mastered: ramming, glaring, rockfall, tit-for-tat, biting
Current status: Healthy
The convenient detection function from the Hyperdimension Devon Corporation allows trainers to view their Pokémon's various physical characteristics in the Hyperdimension, including the special mechanism within the Hyperdimension: Temporary Level!
When a trainer commands their Pokémon to defeat other Pokémon in the current world, they will gain "experience" and increase their "level". Under certain conditions, they can even trigger "temporary evolution", allowing weaker Pokémon to adapt to powerful strength and skills in advance. This process tests the trainer's command ability and the bond between them and their Pokémon.
The only advantage of this mechanism is that it allows for early adaptation and exploration of the path ahead. However, temporary levels cannot be retained after returning to reality, and temporary evolutions will also regress upon return, similar to the mechanism of Mega Evolution.
The concept of "aptitude" is similar to that in most Pokémon fan fiction novels from Xia Ming's previous life, but it is not absolute. There are many ways to allow Pokémon with low individual values to surpass their limits, and there are also many ways to raise their individual values relative to their peers.
After all, Pokémon are creatures that possess a sense of miracles and limitless possibilities!
"Excellent, in good health. Go, Larvitar, use Rockfall on Ponyta!"
After confirming that Young Gilas was still within a healthy range, Xia Ming immediately issued a command.
"Young Yoshi!"
Responding to the command, Young Gilas used the Rockfall skill again, but this time the rocks he used were noticeably larger than the first time.
Leveling up signifies an improvement in basic stats. Before undergoing mastery training, leveling up will only allow Pokémon to continuously improve their skill usage.
"Hiss~"
Energy-Stored Flame Strike!
This is a skill that Ponyta can only learn at level 15.
Flames began to rise from the little pony's entire body and engulf it. The intense heat burned away the surrounding grass, and a bright red light appeared on its surface.
It's an ability upgrade! Little Pony's speed is faster than before.
step, step, step
The little fire horse galloped wildly, its flames engulfing it, and in the blink of an eye, it had covered more than five meters, charging toward Young Gilas at a speed that could not be ignored by the naked eye.
"Young Gilas, I believe you can manipulate the falling rocks in the path of the little pony!"
"Young Yoshi!"
Young Gilas responded with difficulty, and almost the instant Xia Ming gave the command, he began what was an incredibly precise operation for him.
Boom boom boom!
Several huge rocks fell from the sky and crashed into the path of the little fire horse as it charged forward.
