"As I suspected, when I first arrived in this world, this system came with me!"

Even Cain, who was used to remaining calm, couldn't help but feel excited. In his previous life, he had managed to reach the power of a quasi-elite trainer thanks to this system.

However, in his past life, the system activated by accident, and by the time he discovered it, he had already been surpassed by others. Despite the system's help, catching up had been extremely difficult.

"System, scan!" With his heart racing, Cain turned his attention to the Murkrow beside him and gave the mental command.

Almost instantly!

"Beep!" A detailed 3D model appeared before his eyes, visible only to him.

A series of detailed data appeared before his eyes, fully describing Murkrow's moves and characteristics.

Cain's eyes shone with excitement.

Detailed data!

In his past life, when the system first activated, it was blank. He had to collect information through various means to fill in the data. Cain even accessed Team Rocket's most restricted databases, risking his life multiple times just to obtain crucial information.

As a trainer without a prominent background, knowledge was the most important thing. Only with knowledge could one train Pokémon efficiently, allowing them to reach their full potential.

Seeing all this detailed information about Murkrow, even someone as used to death as Cain couldn't help but feel excited.

Amazingly, the system had brought with it all the data from his previous life!

The green color next to Murkrow's name indicated its natural talent. In his past life, Cain had identified that the color represented a Pokémon's potential or quality, with the range going from red to purple.

Green was in the middle, which, although not the highest, was still quite rare. Pokémon in nature rarely exceeded the orange quality, and a green-talent Pokémon was extremely rare and coveted.

With a green-talent Murkrow, Cain had reached the 34th position in his previous trial. Surviving on the Trial Island had been possible thanks to Murkrow's talent, as his skill as a trainer had been minimal.

Cain took a deep breath to calm himself. This time, he wouldn't be weak! Weakness is a sin.

On this trial island, there was only one law: survival of the fittest. And to be strong, he first needed to improve his Pokémon's power.

The first step now was to restore Murkrow's condition. A normal Murkrow measured around half a meter, but this one barely reached 40 centimeters. First, he needed to restore its health to take full advantage of its talent and train it properly.

"Let's go, Murkrow, let's find something to eat." Cain indicated to Murkrow to perch on his shoulder.

Murkrow hesitated for a moment, fearing its weight might hurt the malnourished Cain. But it eventually decided to rest on his shoulder.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder and seeing the deep prints it left in the sand, Cain slowly ventured into the forest.

As a member of Team Rocket who had risen from the bottom, Cain was an expert in survival techniques. He knew which berries were edible, which were poisonous, which restored energy, and which healed status conditions.

After giving Murkrow several ripe Oran berries, Cain bit into a slightly green one. The sour juice slid down his mouth, but he endured the discomfort and slowly chewed the pulp.

Although these unripe berries weren't as effective as the ripe ones, they still had some value.

"Caw!" Murkrow, after devouring the berries, looked at the fruit in Cain's hands, a hint of warmth in its eyes.

Although it didn't understand why this young man, whom it had just met, gave it the best berries and settled for the worst, it felt a care it hadn't experienced since birth.

"Murkrow, eat these berries for now. I know you prefer meat, but this is all we have," Cain said, somewhat apologetically.

"Caw..." Murkrow rubbed its beak against Cain's cheek in acceptance.

Cain smiled slightly, as images of the Murkrow that had protected him to the end in his past life overlapped with the Murkrow now resting on his shoulder. A feeling of connection slowly settled in his heart.

What he had once despised in his past life was now what he valued most.

As they walked along a forest path, Cain stopped in front of a dense bush. Based on his experience, these bushes often hid small animals, and sometimes even Pokémon.

In this world, although Pokémon exist, there are also normal animals, and carnivorous Pokémon often hunt them as food. Generally, Pokémon are not seen as prey.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Cain expected, a gray rabbit darted out of the bush.

"Looks like this will be our dinner," Cain murmured with a faint smile. "Murkrow, use Peck!"

Seeing the food and hearing Cain, Murkrow didn't hesitate. It dove down and stabbed its sharp beak into the rabbit, instantly killing it.

Just as Murkrow was about to celebrate, a purple shadow crossed the ground, and the rabbit disappeared.
