Pokemon: My Fate System Is Too Overpowered!!

Beep… Beep… Beep…

The rhythmic sound of the analysis machine echoed through the room, drawing the attention of everyone present.

"Ryuu, check the results!" Sumire leaned forward, barely able to contain her excitement.

She had always believed in her son's talent, but this was something else entirely.

Daiki remained silent, but his anticipation was clear.

Every father dreamed of seeing his son become great.

And today, Daiki felt like he was one step closer to that dream.

Ryuu picked up the test report and quickly scanned it.

The results were unbelievable—

The nutritional value of the Seiryu Energy Cube was three times higher than that of a standard Energy Cube.

And most importantly—

No harmful additives.

It was a complete success.

From now on, this would be his Pokémon's exclusive food source.

---

"Three times the nutritional content?!" Sumire gasped.

As an experienced Breeder, she immediately understood what that meant.

She had always been the one making Energy Cubes for their Pokémon.

But even with her best formulas, she had never been able to create anything this powerful.

Daiki's eyes lit up.

"So this is the power of that old book?"

He wasn't an expert on Breeding techniques, but he trusted his wife's judgment.

And if Sumire said it was amazing, then there was no doubt—

This was revolutionary.

---

"Wait a minute…" Sumire suddenly frowned.

She turned to Ryuu, her sharp gaze locking onto him.

"This book… Where did you find it?"

"And more importantly—how can you read it?"

Ryuu froze for a second, then quickly composed himself.

This was not a conversation he wanted to have.

There was no way he could tell them the truth.

That he was a reincarnated soul from another world.

Or that he had a system granting him access to knowledge no one else could comprehend.

Instead, he played it cool.

"Oh, that's not important," he said casually. "What matters is that this formula works. From now on, our Pokémon will be growing faster than ever."

His quick change of subject didn't go unnoticed.

Sumire and Daiki exchanged glances.

It was obvious their son had a secret.

But he was their son.

And if he didn't want to talk about it…

They wouldn't force him.

---

Sumire sighed, but a proud smile spread across her lips.

"Fine, I won't ask."

She reached for the test report again, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"But this Energy Cube… We're switching to it immediately!"

Daiki nodded firmly.

"No question about it. This is far superior to what we've been using."

He placed a hand on Ryuu's shoulder, his grip strong.

"Son, with this, our family's Pokémon will reach new heights. You've done something incredible."

Then, grinning widely, he added—

"As expected of my son! A future Champion in the making!"

Sumire rolled her eyes.

"How does this have anything to do with becoming Champion?"

Daiki crossed his arms.

"It doesn't matter. Our son is talented. That's all that matters."

Ryuu sighed, shaking his head.

My dad is such a simple guy.

---

"Alright, Mom, I'll write down the formula for you," Ryuu said.

There were too many Pokémon in their household for him to handle all the production himself.

Besides—

Why should he waste time making Energy Cubes when he could be out hunting for more Destiny threads?

"Leave it to me," Sumire said, taking the recipe.

"I'll make sure our Pokémon get only the best from now on."

Daiki nodded.

"Ryuu, your job is to focus on training. Leave the small stuff to us."

He patted Ryuu's shoulder again, as if entrusting him with their family's future.

Ryuu smirked.

That's the plan.

---

After his parents left, Ryuu returned to his room.

There was still one more thing to take care of before lunch.

His real prize from yesterday—

The Essence of Water.

He picked up the Blastoise statue he had bought from the Trade Market.

Holding a small hammer, he tapped it lightly.

Crack…

A thin fracture appeared.

The crack spread rapidly, and within moments, the stone shattered completely—

Revealing a small, glowing blue droplet.

This was the Essence of Water.

A condensed form of pure elemental energy, created by legendary forces of nature.

If it had been slightly larger, it would have been a Mystic Water—a legendary-grade treasure.

But even as it was now—

It was still incredibly valuable.

---

Froakie had been resting on Ryuu's bed when the Essence of Water was revealed.

The moment the blue droplet appeared—

Froakie's eyes snapped open.

"Froaaa!"

With a burst of excitement, he leapt down and landed in front of the Essence of Water.

But instead of just grabbing it—

Froakie turned to look at Ryuu, his big, round eyes filled with expectation.

That look.

That pitiful, hungry look.

Ryuu couldn't help but chuckle.

"You really want it, huh?"

He reached out and patted Froakie's head.

"Go ahead. It's all yours."

Froakie croaked happily before swallowing the Essence of Water in one gulp.

Ding!

[System Notification:

Froakie has consumed the Essence of Water.

Level increased to 19]

---

Ryuu's eyes gleamed.

"Level 19, huh?"

That meant Froakie had officially reached the Common tier.

Just a little more, and he'd hit Elite level.

It might not seem like much, but—

Every single level up required months of intense training under normal circumstances.

For Froakie to jump from Level 8 to 19 in just two days…

This was insane progress.

---

Froakie stretched out his arms, feeling his newfound strength.

"Froa— froakiii!"

He was clearly stronger than before.

His movements were sharper, his muscles more defined.

But—

He didn't evolve.

Ryuu frowned slightly.

In the games, Froakie evolved at Level 16.

But this wasn't a game.

Levels were just a reference point created by the system.

Real Pokémon evolved at different paces, depending on their training and potential.

Some evolved early, while others needed more time.

Still, Ryuu wasn't worried.

In fact—

The higher a Pokémon's potential, the faster they evolved.

With Froakie's Elite potential, it was only a matter of time.

---

"Ryuu! Lunch is ready!"

Sumire's voice echoed from downstairs.

Ryuu grinned.

"Coming, Mom!"

He recalled Froakie and headed to the dining room.

With the Seiryu Energy Cube and the Essence of Water boosting his growth—

Froakie was going to evolve soon enough.

And when he did?

Ryuu would be one step closer to becoming unstoppable.
