Pokémon: Starting with a Bound Entry System

Chapter 468: Golden Skill [Exponential Explosion]

Each Plate had a unique function, a point that Hikaru had overlooked.

And this Spooky Plate served to link to the Reverse World, allowing one to change locations within it and then appear in the real world.

With this Plate, he could get one more chance at a [Yearly Entry].

Hikaru feigned hesitation. "What you did at the Tree of Beginning... wanting the Tree to acknowledge you... the difficulty of that..."

She said calmly, "I think you can do it. You also experimented with a Plate at the Tree of Beginning and nearly lost control."

This sentence stunned Hikaru. He quickly realized that while he was experimenting with the power of the Flame Plate, she had been spying from the Reverse World.

Thinking about it this way, the power of this Plate was truly terrifying.

By possessing it, one could see all the secrets of this world.

"Mew?"

Mew didn't know what the two were talking about.

"Mew, want to let her try?" Hikaru turned his gaze to Mew.

After all, it was the guardian of the Tree of Beginning.

Mew pouted, not knowing what to say. It could see that Hikaru wanted that Plate.

Mew said fiercely, "I'll only let you try. Whether you get it or not still depends on the Tree of Beginning. Also, if you dare to try digging up the Tree of Beginning again, I'll have Hikaru catch you!"

With that, its figure leisurely flew towards the Tree of Beginning and quickly disappeared.

Hikaru summoned Latias. Thinking that this woman couldn't summon her Pokémon, he asked, "Are you going over via the Plate?"

"Going through the Plate will return me to the original spot after a certain amount of time. That's not good."

Hikaru jumped onto Latias's back and waved for her to come up. "Alright, alright. Talking to you feels kind of creepy."

Linna also hopped onto Latias. "Using this Plate has side effects. It will make a person lose their emotional capacity and also draw them closer to the Ghost type."

The moment the two got close, Hikaru felt as if he were sitting next to a block of ice. Even Latias couldn't help but look back.

(>∧<): 'So cold.'

Hikaru knew that using the Plates had side effects, but usually only when one used them forcefully.

No wonder he couldn't see any emotion from this woman.

Linna suddenly asked, "Can I hold onto you?"

Hikaru refused without hesitation. "No, I have a girlfriend."

"Understood."

The flying Latias paused for a moment, then continued to fly forward.

The atmosphere became silent. The two didn't chat anymore, each lost in their own thoughts.

It wasn't until they were close to the Tree of Beginning that Hikaru broke the silence. "Regardless of whether you can obtain the Aura Force or not, I must have the right to use this Plate."

"Understood," Linna responded quietly from behind. "When we get to the Tree of Beginning, I will give you the Plate."

With Latias's speed, they reached the Tree of Beginning in just a moment.

Although Mew didn't particularly like this woman, it still led Linna to the core of the Tree of Beginning.

And Hikaru also obtained the right to use the Spooky Plate.

Under the probe of his Aura, Hikaru easily understood how to use this Plate.

"So that's how it is. By sending my consciousness into the Plate, I can peek into the real world from the Reverse World. By physically entering, I can travel from the Reverse World to the real world, but the Plate will stay in place, and I will be teleported back after the time limit."

Using the Spooky Plate was much simpler than Hikaru had imagined.

But he didn't try to use it.

Because the cautionary tale of the blonde woman was right in front of him.

The price of losing one's emotions was one he couldn't afford.

[Analysis of Arceus's Spooky Plate complete. Gained one opportunity to refresh a Yearly Entry!]

Hearing this sound, the corners of Hikaru's mouth turned up slightly.

The [Yearly Entry] opportunity given by the system was the best.

Should I use it or not?

The virtual screen in front of him flickered, displaying [Weekly Entry] and [Yearly Entry].

He was thinking, for this golden skill, which Pokémon would be suitable to wish for with [Heart of Wishing]?

He was more inclined towards Serperior because its level was the highest.

Next was Lugia. The prestige of a Legendary Pokémon had to be established.

Then there was Bulbasaur.

But Bulbasaur, paired with [Rhythm Master], was actually doing fine.

As for the other Pokémon.

Dragonair didn't need it. Gabite was at level 48 and would evolve soon.

With [Blade Warrior], its need for a skill wasn't that great for now.

The Pokémon that joined his team at the very beginning didn't need skills right now either.

It's decided. It'll be for Serperior or Lugia.

So what did Serperior or Lugia need?

For Serperior, it was about developing its ability, continuously stacking Leaf Storm to maximize its Special Attack.

A skill to make the Special Attack boost from "Leaf Storm" stack faster?

"No, no."

Hikaru shook his head, feeling that this would be too much of a waste.

It was a golden skill, after all.

That rainbow-colored [Magical Girl], Hikaru felt that part of its utility was wasted on the "transformation" function.

What about moves?

Like Gardevoir's Psychic Storm, Tyranitar's Planetary Devastation, or Greninja's Rasengan?

Hikaru felt that was also unnecessary.

After all, Serperior's greatest move was Leaf Storm.

After much thought, what suited Serperior best was still to quickly stack Leaf Storm and build up its Special Attack.

Then what about Lugia?

Hikaru turned his thoughts to Lugia.

This little Legendary that was by his side but had never really fought.

Its growth rate was very fast, and its strength was great, as could be seen from the battle against Team Crystal.

At that time, it was only at the peak of Gym Leader level, yet it could withstand the attacks of so many Elite Four-level Pokémon for a short time.

What skill did it need?

Hikaru really couldn't think of anything.

"Forget it, I'll give it to Serperior."

After pondering for a while, Hikaru first clicked on the [Weekly Entry].

The weekly entry turned out to be a blue [Entry Replica].

Nothing to say about that.

Adding the previous entry replicas, Hikaru now had one blue entry replica and one red entry replica.

"Come on, something good!"

Rubbing his hands, Hikaru eagerly clicked on the yearly entry.

This skill did not disappoint him; a golden light appeared.

[Golden Skill (Exponential Explosion) — When releasing a boosting-type move, the degree of enhancement will increase exponentially, with a maximum of five stacks (maximum boost of 500%).]

"Huh?"

It took him two and a half seconds, but Hikaru quickly understood the function of this skill.

As long as it was a boosting-type move, the first boost effect was unchanged, the second boost would be double the first, the third boost would be four times the first...
