----------

At night, the moonlight scattered upon the windowsill on the second floor of the Pokemon Center.

In the room, Marcus wiped the Pokemon egg as usual.

After wiping, he evenly applied a layer of hatching essence.

"Buzz..."

A mysterious ripple spread out, and a faint purple light shimmered on the Pokemon egg. (T/N: Another hint)

A sense of intimacy was transmitted from it.

Marcus was startled at first, then realized the Pokemon egg seemed to be about to hatch.

"Although I don't know who you are, welcome in advance..."

"Buzz..." The Pokemon egg shook again, seemingly responding to his words.

Marcus smiled slightly, becoming even more expectant.

He entered the Dream Space with Dolliv and Buneary.

After evolving, Dolliv could finally start training through games...

[Ding, Dolliv chose 'Protect' move proficiency training, target: Choose the champion Braum, the Freljordian Heart, in Summoner's Rift and block attacks using the ability Unbreakable.]

[Ding, Buneary chose 'Work Up' move proficiency training, target: Learn to hum, play, and perform the song 'Believe in Yourself - Zero Point'.]

Regarding move proficiency, Marcus had specifically learned about it from Norman before.

The first stage: Learning. This means being able to use the move, but not proficiently, and it might lose accuracy or fail to be released in situations like tension or fear.

The second stage: Proficient. This means being proficient in using the move, achieving standard effects under normal circumstances, and it is the stage where it can truly be used in battle.

Currently, most of his two Pokemon's moves have reached the Proficient level with the help of the System; further proficiency requires long-term accumulation.

The third stage: Mastered. This level requires a large amount of practice to reach a state of perfection, thereby shortening the move release time, making it easier to seize the initiative in battle, and it is also the prerequisite for combining with other moves.

The fourth stage, and the most difficult stage to reach: Extraordinary.

As the name suggests, the proficiency at this level has reached its peak, and the Pokemon's mastery of the move has returned to a state of simplicity, even being able to use it twice in a very short time, or combine it with other moves simultaneously, change the form and effect of the move, etc., achieving a certain degree of modification.

For example, in Ash and Leon's final battle in the anime, Pikachu also unleashed a Thunderbolt filled with golden lightning using the power of friendship, defeating Leon's strongest Charizard head-on. This itself was a change in the way Thunderbolt, a long-range attack, was used.

Previously, when Marcus battled Norman's Vigoroth, Miltank's Extraordinary level Defense Curl also achieved continuous use in a short period, and successfully withstood damage in a suffocating rhythm, turning the tide in one fell swoop.

If the proficiency is not enough, it is insufficient to support high-difficulty tactics.

Therefore, given that his two Pokemon currently don't have significant shortcomings in Talent Value, Marcus plans to prioritize improving move proficiency and incidentally build his own tactical system.

For Dolliv, positioned as a defensive Pokemon, Protect is definitely a move that needs to be mastered. At the same time, Buneary's Work Up is an essential boosting move for the Baton Pass system, so prioritizing its improvement is reasonable.

Seeing that his two Pokemon had already started their respective training, Marcus decided to play a ranked game as well.

As soon as he entered the room, he quickly typed out the sentence from the depths of his memory:

(T/N: You can skip this)

I have a greatsword: "3L Yasuo, I'll feed if I don't get it!"

Mid Lane Pest: "Let me have mid, I'm a inting Sion, I'll be on high ground in 10 minutes! Check my 15-game win streak, you just lie down and win."

Before Marcus could respond, the other teammates had already turned into tryhards.

Squirtle's Head: "Is that true, Godfather!"

Blinded Lee Sin: "Top Lane Lee Sin, please ban Teemo, thanks."

And silently banned Yasuo, showing with action that he also wanted to get carried.

Marcus: ...

In the end, Marcus was left with the AD position.

He silently clicked on a certain little blonde guy - the end of solo queue AD, Ezreal...

...

Two hours later, the word 'Defeat' appeared on the screen for the fifth time.

Huh? You ask why he lost 5 times in two hours?

Because the high ground reached in 10 minutes was his own...

With a 'snap!', Marcus threw his headphones: "Damn it, I've transmigrated, and I still have these noob teammates!"

Feeling depressed, he hugged his two Pokemon and returned to the real world, falling asleep peacefully.

...

(T/N: Now read)

The next morning, as the first ray of sunlight shone on the gray-black Oreburgh City, Marcus woke up from bed.

After a simple wash-up, he fed his two Pokemon a few Pokeblocks, then carried the Pokemon egg to the Oreburgh Coal Mine in the southern part of the city.

Many Trainers and miners were gathered here; the annual mining competition was about to start in an hour.

Roark stood on a large rock and gave a speech: "Welcome everyone to the Oreburgh Coal Mine Mining Competition. As in previous years, after the competition begins, you are free to dig and search in the coal pit. The value of the items you dig up will be assessed.

The person with the highest total value of excavated items before sunset will be the champion of this year's Mining Competition, with an additional reward of 200,000 PD!"

"Buneary, you have to work hard later~" Marcus rubbed the little rabbit perched on his shoulder.

Buneary, with her Fighting-type moves, was more suitable for breaking rocks than Dolliv.

"Buneary~" The little guy let out a cute cry and rubbed his cheek with her rabbit ears.

As Marcus's initial partner, Buneary's affection level was getting higher and higher. If it weren't for carrying an Everstone, she might evolve into Lopunny at any time.

Of course, before evolving, Marcus still planned to accumulate more Talent Value for pre-allocation and targeted training.

Soon, following the crowd, Marcus took a pickaxe and a basket from Roark.

For fairness, everyone's tools were standard, and they could only bring one Pokemon; other Pokemon were required to be returned to their Poke Balls.

"My partner is this guy."

"Ursaring!"

Just as Marcus was registering Buneary's information, a strong aura erupted from a nearby work booth. An Ursaring beat its chest and roared towards the sky. Behind it stood the gray-haired young man with his hands in his pockets, Paul.

"Hey, what a coincidence." Marcus nodded towards the other party.

"...." Paul glanced at the Buneary on his shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to walk into the mine.

Marcus didn't mind. Amidst Roark's encouraging shouts, he also stepped inside.

Before he had gone deep, Paul's voice came from the corner of the entrance: "Looking at you, you've already obtained the Coal Badge? Interested in a battle?"

"But I only have two..." Marcus spread his hands.

"?" Paul frowned: "Just say you don't want to battle. You need at least three Pokemon for a Gym challenge, right?"

Marcus sighed helplessly and patted his shoulder: "I won 2v3."

After speaking, he walked straight away, only turning back at the corner to say: "When my team is more complete, I'll definitely seek guidance."

"..." Paul didn't respond. After a long time, he muttered to himself in disbelief: "2v3? With just that unevolved Buneary? And, wasn't he a newcomer?"

Unfortunately, Marcus had already walked far away, and no one could answer his question...
