Beat the Younger Brother, the Older Brother come out
In the heart of the Great Star Dou Forest, the home and the refuge of the powerful spirit beasts, the skies come alive with the vibrant melodies of countless birds. Their graceful flight is accompanied by the distant calls and cries of various animals roaming the lush wilderness below.
Unbeknownst to the residents living there, an outsider beast will soon forever change their lives.
Amidst the tranquil embrace of the silent forest, an unusual sight occurs. From within the lush foliage of a vibrant bush, two long, yellow ears playfully and cutely emerge and poke out.
The sunny hue, along with the deep black color at the tip of the ears, contrasts with the verdant greenery surrounding them.
Inside the bush, a small yellow, furry mouse creature reveals itself, seemingly enjoying eating berries.
"Pika. Pika!" (Mmm, those berries taste really good. As expected of the Xianxia world!)
After delightfully finishing the berries, I pat my round belly in satisfaction.
"Pika, pika." (Ah, just what I needed after waking up from my slumber, feeling ravenously hungry.)
'Anyway, now that I'm rested up, I can intuitively feel my power. I'm definitely more than twice as strong as I was before!'
I clench my paws, feeling more confident than ever. This is the first time I can clearly feel that I have become a lot stronger!
'Anyway, system, you said I'm in the era of Douluo Dalu 3, The Legend of the Dragon King, right? But can you specify the exact time period I'm in and where am I?'
[In response to your question, it appears that we are in the time period 10 years before the official start of the story of Douluo Dalu 3. And you are in Great Star Dou Forest, one of the last refuge for spirit beasts]
Hearing that, I immediately look up in surprise.
'Really? I'm surprised. That means I have plenty of time, but whether I can get strong enough is the main concern...'
[You don't need to worry. As a Pokemon, you also gain experience points by defeating people and spirit beasts.]
Originally frowning in concern, I relax my tense eyebrows, feeling relieved by the system's answer. But I suddenly frown again, as I have another question for the system.
'Really? That's good, but do I need to defeat them or do I have to...kill them?'
[No, you do not need to kill them. You can choose to kill them, but it will not result in you gaining more experience points. The only criteria is that they must admit defeat or faint.]
'That's good. I'm not against killing, but if I could avoid it, I don't want to kill.'
I relax my eyebrows in relief and then break into an excited smile.
'Now, let's test out how much stronger I've become!'
So, I began testing my power on a nearby spirit beast who was weaker than me. Soon time pass and after defeating the 70-year-old Wood Monkey with a Thunder Shock, I clenched my paws and carefully assessed the difference between my current abilities and that of the previous day.
'I can feel that my moves have become a lot stronger and easier to control... and I can use them a lot more too.'
I felt happy with my improvement, but I frowned. I had defeated eight spirit beasts that were over 50 years old. By now, I should have leveled up, but I haven't.
'Hey, system, why haven't I leveled up yet? Defeating eight spirit beasts over 50 years old should be enough to at least let me level up twice.'
[Because the experience you gain from beating weaker opponents will be greatly reduced. So, to get stronger, you will need to defeat equal or more powerful opponents]
'I see. A shame, but it makes sense, I guess. Anyway, to face an equal or stronger opponent... I'm level 9 right now, and I have Spark Tackle, so I should be able to defeat a 100-year-old spirit beast easily.'
Right on time, as if the heavens knew his thoughts, a loud roar came from behind me. Turning my head, I saw another Wooden Monkey, this one 150 years old, seemingly angry that I beat up his younger brother, the Wooden Monkey that I had just defeated.
'His older brother? Well, no matter, it is definitely a 100-year-old spirit beast, a perfect testing bag right on time!'
My eyes lit up, and I quickly got into a posture, facing the Wooden Monkey.
Angry and seemingly provoked, the Wood Monkey roared and threw a sharp spear made out of a branch it had just created.
Easily dodging it with a Quick Attack, I quickly got right in front of the Wood Monkey.
'Spark Tackle at 50%!'
A powerful electric burst emanated from my body, and as I tackled the Wood Monkey, the electricity quickly surged through its body, shocking and knocking it out.
[Congratulations, you leveled up! You are now level 10!]
[Congratulations, you leveled up! You are now level 11!]
[Ding! Since you reached level 10, you have unlocked a privilege. Would you like to view it?]
Reveling in the feeling of leveling up and becoming a lot stronger, I noticed what the system said.
'Unlock a privilege? That sounds important. Yes, I would like to view it.'
[Ding! You are now able to transform into other Pokémon. Here's a list of Pokémon you can choose from, but you can only choose one]
After saying that, a long blue list appeared, showing list of Pokémon that I immediately recognized.
'Charmander, Squirtle, Totodile, Chimchar, Torchic, Froakie, Turtwig, Snivy, Litten, Sobble, Scorbunny, Sprigatito...aren't those the starter Pokémon from Gen 1 to 9?!'
[Yes, indeed. But choose carefully, as you can't retract your decision.]
'I see... this privilege gave me a very pleasant surprise... I never thought I could turn into other Pokémon! Hey, system, can you recommend what Pokémon I should choose?'
[Very well. After considering your situation, these are the three recommended Pokémon]
Three blue pages showed up, displaying Charmander, Froakie, and Grookey.
[Charmander]
[A Fire-Type Starter Pokémon recommended for its ability to breathe fire, specialize in special attacks, and have decent speed. When it evolves into Charizard, it becomes a dominator of the sky and land. It also possesses the ability to Mega Evolve into two different forms and can even surpass God when it is Gigantamax]
[Froakie]
[A Water-Type Starter Pokémon recommended for its fast speed and ability to easily confuse opponents. Its advantage increases when it evolves into Greninja, which can throw water shurikens capable of splitting metal with ease. It can evolve once more into Ash-Greninja, capable of rivaling even a God]
[Grookey]
[A Grass-Type Starter Pokémon recommended for its power to control the surrounding environment, making it an excellent Control-type Pokémon. When it evolves into Rillaboom, this advantage is further enhanced with the hidden ability Grass Surge, allowing it to become a master of the forest with nature on its side. Its ability to control the environment is greatly strengthened when it is Gigantamax, to the extent that it can even injure God]
