----------

In the room, Marcus was staring at the lottery panel's ugly yellow button, feeling a bit nervous.

He had the illusion of spending all his living expenses on a lottery in his previous life...

After thinking for a moment, he went to the bathroom, filled a large basin with clear water, and with a sense of reverence, squeezed out some facial cleanser and evenly applied it to his palms.

Although 'mysticism doesn't save the unlucky, and in game gold doesn't change fate', Marcus would wash his face before every major lottery draw, as if it could bring him more luck...

After a while, carrying a faint fragrance, he sat back down by the bed and opened the System panel.

[Ding, Master Lottery is open, 5 draws this time, insufficient balance, please recharge...]

"Confirm recharge!"

[Ding, consumed 500,000 PD, obtained a Normal-type unknown Pokemon Egg, Everstone, Power Belt, Power Band, and the TM 'Bounce'!]

"Holy cow!! A Pokemon Egg!" Marcus's butt tightened, and he actually bounced directly off the bed, startling the Buneary next to him.

Buneary tilted her head and looked at him, as if meeting this young man for the first time: "Buneary? (Since when could Marcus jump so high with his butt?)"

Smoliv, on the other hand, looked on with admiration: "Smoliv... (So amazing...)"

Marcus was still grinning foolishly at the System inventory at this time, unaware that his sudden jump from a sitting position had brought a new understanding to his two Pokemon...

[Normal-type Unknown Pokemon Egg: Contains a young and healthy little life. With careful nurturing, it can hatch into an excellent quality Normal-type Pokemon.]

(T/N: The one who guesses correctly will receive a head pat)

[Everstone: Held item, allows a Pokemon to maintain its current form, and will not evolve even if the evolution conditions are met.]

[Power Belt/Power Band: EV training items. When held, they will limit the Pokemon's speed due to the added weight, but will promote the increase of its own Defense/Special Defense ability.]

[TM 'Bounce': Single-use TM. After use, eligible Pokemon will learn the Bounce move in their sleep.]

[Bounce: Flying-type Physical move, Power 85. On the first turn, it leaps high into the air, and on the second turn, it crashes down at high speed to attack the opponent, with a 30% chance of paralyzing the opponent.]

"This is really good..." Marcus exclaimed, taking the pure white Pokemon Egg with purple stripes from the System inventory.

It was very smooth to the touch, and a faint warmth gave a feeling of stability and tranquility, which was quite wonderful.

"Welcome to the family, little one..." Marcus smiled, planning to find an incubator later to put it in and hatch it as soon as possible.

He then changed Buneary's held item from Power Anklet to Everstone.

This was to prevent the little rabbit from evolving prematurely due to high friendship, which would make it impossible for him to train her in a specific direction.

He gave the Power Belt to Smoliv to hold to increase her Defense ability; the Bounce TM was also given to Buneary.

With this Flying-type move, she can effectively attack Fighting-type opponents, and using Bounce to stall turns is also a good tactic.

After doing this, Marcus opened the panel for his two Pokemon:

[Buneary ♀ lv20 (Intermediate)]

Ability: None

Talent Value: 337 (Species Max 350)

Friendship: 166

————

[Smoliv ♀ lv19 (Beginner)]

Ability: Early Bird

Talent Value: 260 (Reached Species Max)

Pre-allocated Talent: Defense 5 points, Special Defense 5 points, Special Attack 5 points

Friendship: 133

————

Buneary's Klutz ability has been completely eliminated, but it will take some time to practice and form the Speed Boost ability.

At the same time, her Talent Value is also close to the maximum with frequent stat increases, and her strength has increased by more than just a little bit compared to before.

A pre-allocated value column also appeared below Smoliv's Talent Value. Marcus intends to train her as a magic tank role, and her level is also gradually approaching the evolution level.

"Still need to battle more..."

To train his two Pokemon to be as perfect as possible, a large number of battles against higher-leveled opponents are needed to obtain Talent Value.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The phone rang, and seeing the pink avatar, Marcus quickly answered.

"Good morning, Marcus!" Whitney's pretty face appeared in the video, her fair skin with a slight baby fat glistening, making one's heart flutter.

"Good morning~" Marcus greeted her, then noticed that the background behind the girl was not the ranch, and casually asked: "Aren't you at home?"

"Uh... yeah, I came to play with Mary yesterday... Hahaha..." A hint of panic flashed across Whitney's face, and she quickly showed Mary sitting next to her.

"Hi Marcus, you can call me All seeing dog food Mary..."

"Ah?" Marcus was stunned.

Before he could ask further, Whitney reappeared in the video, waving her small hands and explaining: "Don't mind her, this girl has been a bit emo lately..."

"Is that so..." Marcus didn't suspect anything, and just like usual, he told the Miltank Girl about his gains.

Every day, he would receive a call from Whitney, and seeing this cute girl often reminded him of the promise they made on the day he set off.

She was like his winding key, giving him the motivation to move forward.

"Oh right, when are you going to challenge the Gym?"

"Hmm... Didn't I tell you this before? It should be tomorrow. The first one I plan to challenge is the Oreburgh Gym in Oreburgh City. I still need to formulate tactics today."

"Oh oh okay~ Then I'll cheer for you tomorrow!"

"Okay okay!" Marcus naturally thought Whitney was cheering for him in the video, unaware that Whitney had already boarded a flight to Sinnoh.

...

Coming to the Dream Space, Marcus first set today's training task for Buneary:

[Bounce Move Proficiency Training: In the Chuchu Kart game, accumulate 10 minutes of flight time while driving the beginner kart.]

After choosing a map with many flying scenarios for the little rabbit, Marcus took Smoliv to the simulated battle room next door.

"System, start simulated battle matching!"

[Simulated battle starting, please wait...]

[Ding, matching complete, opponent: Cranidos lv33, judged as a two-tier higher battle. Regardless of victory or defeat, Talent Value will be obtained!]

"Huh?" Seeing the opponent that appeared, Marcus was startled.

Cranidos, this is a fossil Pokemon, and the ones that exist in the modern world are all revived using gene fossil technology.

And the signature Pokemon of the Oreburgh Gym Leader he was about to challenge, Roark, was the evolved form of Cranidos, Rampardos.

However, according to the current timeline, Roark's Rampardos should also be in the form of Cranidos, and it was later that it evolved into Rampardos during Team Rocket's attack.

"Alright, consider this a warm-up..." Marcus's eyes became serious: "Smoliv, Leech Seed!"

"Cranidos, Flamethrower!"

The blazing pillar of fire directly burned most of the seeds sprayed by Smoliv, and it swept towards her with undiminished force!
