Chapter 6: Carbink

Evening

Back home, Su Hao couldn't wait to take out the Poké Ball containing Carbink.

After claiming the starter Pokémon, the winter break officially began. This month-long vacation was just enough time to build a bond with the starter Pokémon and conduct training to consolidate the Pokémon's physical foundation.

Su Hao held the Poké Ball containing Carbink in the palms of his hands and called out softly, "Come out, Carbink."

The red and white Poké Ball opened instantly, releasing a burst of light.

"Nai nai?" The light gradually condensed into the shape of Carbink.

Carbink's azure eyes stared straight at Su Hao.

"Are you my Master?"

At the same time, the moment Carbink was released by Su Hao, the system also popped up messages with a ding-ding-ding.

【Task—Claim your own starter Pokémon completed!】

【Beginner's Gift Pack has been opened! Items have been stored in the system space!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining Diancite!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining Primary Aura Power!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 Pink Diamonds containing high-level Rock/Fairy-type energy needed for Carbink's growth!】

【Since the host has obtained a starter Pokémon, the exclusive cultivation function for the host's Pokémon has been unlocked!】

Su Hao didn't go to check the new things in the system immediately. Instead, he squatted down, looked solemnly into Carbink's beautiful blue eyes, and said, "Hello, Carbink! My name is Su Hao, and I am your Trainer. From now on, we are a family. Please take care of me!"

Before transmigrating, Su Hao loved Pokémon very much and understood what simple and pure creatures Pokémon were.

Su Hao himself didn't want to treat these intelligent little spirits like weapons.

His own ideas were more inclined toward Ash and the Team Rocket trio from the TV anime of his previous life.

Treating Pokémon as his partners, friends, and family.

The power created by the bonds formed over a long time would definitely be much stronger than blindly exploiting them.

Su Hao extended his right hand, his clear gaze looking straight at Carbink.

Carbink was born in a secret realm that humans had never entered.

When Carbink was born, the earth, sky, water, grass, and trees before its eyes were desolate, and broken stone statues of different Pokémon could be seen everywhere on the ground.

Unlike everything before its eyes that was full of the aura of death and scarred,

the circular space with a diameter of three or four meters, with Carbink leaning against a dead tree stump as the center, was filled with endless vitality. New buds emerged from the ground, and green was slowly filling the earth.

Then, after a period of time, Carbink, who lived in the circle shrouded in gradually expanding life energy, was suddenly repelled from the secret realm by a tiny spatial rift and finally fell into the Shenzhou Alliance's conservation center.

In Carbink's short experience, it hadn't seen many humans, but the aura emitted by Su Hao before its eyes made Carbink feel very comfortable and intimate.

In fact, most Pokémon didn't have that many twists and turns; if they liked something, they liked it, and they were very straightforward about their feelings.

When Carbink realized that the Su Hao before its eyes was very likable, it immediately took action.

Carbink's body, composed of a mixture of gray-white minerals and diamonds, jumped directly onto Su Hao's legs.

"Hello, Trainer, please take care of me from now on~."

A clear and energetic child's voice suddenly appeared in Su Hao's mind.

Su Hao was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, Su Hao quickly figured out the truth: the source of the voice was the Carbink before him.

The Primary Aura Power rewarded by the system earlier should be able to realize barrier-free communication between Su Hao and Pokémon. In short, Aura Power, which is essentially spiritual power, has the effect of telepathy.

After figuring this out, Su Hao immediately mobilized the Aura Power in his body and began to communicate with Carbink.

After some communication and interaction, the relationship between Su Hao and Carbink became increasingly intimate.

At the same time, Su Hao also learned about Carbink's experience after its birth.

According to Carbink's description, the aura of death, the stone statues that Pokémon had turned into,

the dead tree stump, the protective circle full of vitality.

All of this pointed to the two legendary beasts from the sixth-generation game 【XY】 of his previous life: Yveltal, the God of Destruction who absorbs life, and Xerneas, the God of Life who possesses eternal life.

The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal was like that of mortal enemies; life and death were naturally opposing stances.

The news Carbink conveyed was very shocking; after all, this was news related to legendary Pokémon.

However, in the Pokémon settings of his previous life, legendary Pokémon were all existences that held the authority of the world. Although this news was very tempting, it wasn't something he and Carbink, who were still "noobs," should consider right now.

Su Hao calmed his mood and suppressed the shock he received from this shocking news.

————————————————————————

Su Hao, who had spent a short time organizing his mood, prepared to open the system to check the newly added things.

First was Su Hao's personal panel.

Name: 【Su Hao】

Gender: 【Male】

Age: 【17 years old】

Type: 【Normal, Fighting】

Special Ability: 【Aura Power (Primary)】

Pokémon: 【Carbink】

Items: 【Diancite, High-level Rock/Fairy-type energy Pink Diamond x10, (several sundries stored by the host)】

The personal panel was very concise, and Su Hao looked at it and moved on. Although he had the urge to complain about why he also had a type, the following Cultivation function should be more important, after all, this was related to the path for him and Carbink to become stronger.

"System, introduce the 【Cultivation】 function."

【Ding! Cultivation.】

【The host can use system currency obtained by completing system tasks to upgrade the host's own special abilities.】

【The host's Pokémon can learn moves in the move pool in advance through system currency, including egg moves.】

【Because the host's Pokémon's level becomes visualized, the system can allow Pokémon to gain experience in battles, accelerating the improvement of their strength.】

After listening to the system's explanation, Su Hao couldn't help but feel excited.

With the system's experience cheat, he could be one step ahead, step by step.

Moreover, Su Hao's own Aura Power could also be upgraded through system currency. It could be said that although the functions were few, they had a kind of simple, unadorned, and powerful beauty.

In this world, the division of Pokémon strength converted by system levels is as follows.

【Level 0 ~ Level 4】 — 【Infant Stage】

【Level 5 ~ Level 19】 — 【Novice Stage】

【Level 20 ~ Level 29】 — 【Ordinary Stage】 ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
