Pokemon Battle System: I Reincarnated As A Charmander

Due to the enhanced Energy Control Rating provided by the system space, Lian's mastery over energy became effortless and almost instinctual.

Although this heightened control was limited to the system space, it paralleled achieving a higher cultivation realm in fantasy novels for Lian. By reaching this advanced stage prematurely, albeit not genuinely, he had effectively paved his path; all that remained was to progress along it smoothly.

Within his mind, various techniques involving Fire-type energy were ready to be tested, with no limitations within the system space.

In the vast white expanse of the system space, Lian skillfully manipulated fire energy, creating a swirling vortex within his body before forcefully expelling it through his mouth.

A spiraling burst of flames shot forward, generating waves of fiery ripples as it propelled straight ahead, looking incredibly impressive.

This move combined Flamethrower and Fire Spin, showcasing Lian's conceptual fusion. Although visually successful, executing such a technique was actually quite challenging.

However, the exceptional Energy Control Rating granted by the system space allowed Lian to force the release of these moves according to his vision.

Next, Lian attempted several moves that existed only in his imagination, including some he currently lacked full mastery over.

For instance, Fire Blast, where Lian forcefully shaped a large flaming X and unleashed it with roaring intensity, creating a visually stunning spectacle.

Lian wasn't sure if this accurately represented the authentic Fire Blast move, as it likely did not. He had no clear understanding of how to properly execute Fire Blast; instead, he relied on his interpretation and exceptional control power to release it.

The energy within the system space seemed limitless, allowing Lian to perform any move beyond his usual energy constraints.

Without comprehending the underlying principles of these moves, what Lian released were merely superficial imitations, impossible to achieve in reality.

"I must first determine the minimum energy required for executing each move," Lian murmured to himself. The spiraling flamethrower just released consumed an unknown but undoubtedly significant amount of fire energy, much of which was wasted on its flashy appearance.

Even with absolute energy control, lacking precision in managing the energy quantity renders it meaningless. Using excessive energy to create the most stylish yet average-power moves serves no purpose other than showboating.

In reality, Lian lacked precise control over the move's potency and energy consumption due to his weak mastery level, forcing him to use standard release methods.

However, with stronger control power, Lian could adjust and regulate the form of the move, even altering its potency and energy usage.

For example, Ember has a base power of 40, while Flamethrower has a base power of 90. These differences relate to the move's execution style and the required energy consumption, which collectively determine the move's overall potency.

If Lian could modify the energy consumption of a move, he would also be able to enhance its potency. For instance, releasing a version of Ember with 90 base power without changing its form demonstrates advanced Energy Control.

Previously, Lian couldn't learn Flamethrower because he didn't have enough stored fire energy, making it impossible for him to execute the move. However, once his level increased and he accumulated sufficient fire energy, he was able to perform it effortlessly.

When Lian first learned Flamethrower, he immediately maxed out its proficiency, allowing him to cast it easily during battles. Without boosting the proficiency beforehand, casting Flamethrower just once would have drained his fire energy completely, requiring a long cooldown before he could attempt it again.

The move proficiency reduced the cooldown period and increased the casting speed, while the Energy Control Rating governed the customization of moves, including their potency and energy consumption.

Utilizing his exceptional Energy Control Rating, Lian began to keenly sense the surrounding energy. His goal was to precisely control the energy released during a move, gaining a deeper understanding of its underlying principles.

Achieving precise energy control proved highly challenging. With his enhanced Energy Control Rating, Lian perceived energy as continuously intertwined threads. When executing a move, one typically relied on instinct to mobilize and release this energy.

"This is incredibly difficult."

Precisely controlling fire energy was arduous even with Lian's superior mastery level. It felt akin to unraveling a tangled ball of yarn, requiring immense patience to gradually separate each strand of energy.

Time seemed to blur as Lian managed to untangle only a small portion. The prospect of fully mastering it appeared daunting, with no clear estimate of how long it would take.

Even for Lian, possessing a human soul, achieving precise energy control was immensely challenging, let alone other Pokemon.

Despite the difficulty, Lian sensed that his ability to precisely manipulate energy was steadily improving.

Superior control allowed Lian to effortlessly manipulate energy for various transformations, while precise energy control enabled him to reduce or increase the energy consumption of his moves.

As Lian gradually stripped and precisely controlled the energy, his understanding of it deepened significantly.

Precise control was the most challenging, requiring both strong Energy Control Rating and continuous practice. Conversely, improving the Energy Control Rating could be achieved by altering the execution style of his moves.

Suddenly, Lian was forcibly ejected from the system space, indicating that the maximum time limit had been reached, preventing further stay within the system realm.

The next day...

Upon waking up, Lian noticed yet another transformation in his body - he had become even stronger and taller. This was the expected outcome of increasing his ability values.

Pop.

Lian emerged from the Poké Ball onto the ground, catching Kalia's immediate attention with his imposing stature. It was impossible not to notice; now, Lian stood taller than Kalia herself.

"Charmeleon, how did you get bigger again?"

Despite witnessing Charmeleon mysteriously growing larger multiple times, Kalia remained astonished each instance. The phenomenon seemed utterly unscientific to her.

Noticing Kalia's astonished expression, Lian realized that future ability upgrades should be gradual to avoid such noticeable changes each time. While Kalia might not question it, others noticing could raise suspicions.

After a moment of surprise, Kalia composed herself, feeling slightly excited. She had observed earlier that whenever Charmeleon grew taller and larger, its defensive capabilities seemed to improve significantly.

It was evident that Charmeleon's defense had once again enhanced with this transformation. Regardless of what caused these changes, as long as there were no adverse effects, Kalia considered it beneficial.

Lian examined his new physique; his skin felt tougher, and his limbs appeared more robust. Although he didn't look bulky, he exuded strength.

"Charmeleon, return to your Poké Ball for now. I've taken the day off today, and I plan to take you somewhere special for intensive training," Kalia said.

Following yesterday's battle, Kalia had numerous ideas brewing. However, regular battles weren't suitable for practicing them, necessitating focused training sessions.

Although one day may seem insufficient, even just establishing a clear direction would be valuable.
