Chapter 2 - starting with safe planning

---

Karl was surprised by everything. He felt like he was on a roller coaster of euphoria. He had just experienced something unimaginable, and now the system had released all that information to him. He needed to calm down and think. The ability Dimensional Adaptation seemed somewhat similar to the ability "Gamer's Mind," suggesting that there was more depth than the simple summary the system provided.

"Let's start from the beginning... it seems like I'm in the world of Pokémon. An apparently easy start, if we ignore the fact that there are Pokémon gods capable of destroying the world in seconds. But that's a problem for the future... I can't do much right now. I'm just a baby; I can't even move my head. At least I can plan for the future. Let's see what I can do at the moment."

He reflected on the items he had received. "A random fire-type egg... It would be great if it hatched soon, but that's also dangerous. My mom might get suspicious, or worse, get rid of it. I need to come up with an excuse for this egg."

Then he thought about the Racial Limit Break Card. "Well, if I can use it on a Pokémon that has already reached its evolutionary potential, maybe it can surpass its current evolution. I wonder what that would be like... Would it still be considered a Pokémon?"

The Customized Poké Ball was self-explanatory, and Karl didn't need to think much about it. However, the ability from a random world caught his attention. "This seems incredible... if I can get something overpowered. But if I end up receiving a useless power by chance, that would be terrible."

With that concern in mind, he asked the system: — System, I have a question. Can this ability card harm me?

System: — No. Abilities will be reshaped or notified not to harm the owner.

A wave of relief washed over Karl. "Anything that harms me right now could be disastrous. To keep myself safe, the only thing I'll use for now is the Ability Card. For the other items, I'll have to think of an excuse."

Now, he needed to carefully plan his next steps.

— System, I would like to draw the ability from the Ability Card now — announced Karl, his voice full of determination.

A momentary pause occurred, and then a soft response echoed in his mind, like a whisper wrapped in light.

System: — Preparing for the ability draw. Please wait...

Karl felt a slight tremor upon hearing the system's words. The environment around him seemed to glow softly, as if an invisible energy was accumulating. He could feel his anticipation growing with every passing second. Thoughts about the possibilities flooded him—what could this ability bring him?

System: — Starting the draw... 10%... 30%... 50%... 70%... 90%... 100%.

With each percentage, Karl's adrenaline increased. He imagined the different types of abilities that could emerge—some powerful, others useful.

System: — Ability drawn: Power of Inspiration!

At that moment, a wave of energy coursed through Karl's body. He felt a deep connection with the newly acquired ability, as if awakening something dormant within him. The positive aura seemed to radiate from his being, illuminating his thoughts with images of friends and allies fighting by his side, stronger and more confident.

System: — The ability "Power of Inspiration" allows you to inspire and motivate Pokémon and allies around you, boosting their morale and abilities in battle. The effect will be activated as soon as you desire.

Power of Inspiration (Enhanced) From "My Hero Academia"

Description: The ability "Power of Inspiration" allows you to inspire and motivate Pokémon and allies around you, temporarily increasing not just their morale but also their abilities in battle. When Karl uses this ability, he emits a positive aura that elevates the confidence of everyone nearby.

Ability Effects:

1. Morale Boost: When activating the ability, the morale of all allies within a radius of 10 meters increases. This translates to a +2 bonus to attack and defense stats for a period of 3 turns. The morale boost also reduces fear and uncertainty during battles.

2. Improved Performance: During the effect of the ability, allies and Pokémon receive a slight improvement in their special abilities or attacks, allowing them to execute one extra action once during battle (it can be an additional attack or a special ability). This extra action must be used within the 3-turn effect.

3. Rising from the Fallen: If an allied Pokémon faints during battle while the ability is active, Karl can use a turn to revive that Pokémon with 1 HP, temporarily increasing its morale and recovery. This effect can occur once per battle.

4. Cooldown: After use, the ability has a cooldown time of 5 turns to prevent abuse. It should be used strategically to maximize its impact in battle.

5. Passive Effect: Outside of battles, the "Power of Inspiration" allows Karl to forge stronger bonds with his Pokémon, increasing their loyalty and trust. This can result in a gradual increase in the efficiency of Pokémon in daily tasks and exploration of the world.

"This ability is a pseudo-ability of some characters from 'My Hero Academia' that has been transformed into a complete ability by the system, resulting in an enhancement."

Karl was surprised by the ability, as the system modifications transformed it into a complete ability that mutated to adapt to the Pokémon world. This was great news for him.

It seemed all these surprises had left him tired. He felt very sleepy, perhaps because he was now just a newborn, and he began to doze off.

His mother had just woken up and was sitting a bit close to the crib. Strange, I thought I saw a light. It must have been nothing but my imagination. I need to recover. First, don't worry, my little Karl, I will take good care of you.

A door creaked open, and a Blissey entered the room. Rudy merely nodded, allowing her to approach.

— You can start the treatment. I want to go home quickly.

Blissey just nodded with her round pink body. A while later, Rudy managed to gather enough strength to support himself on the bed and look a little more at his son. He had her hair color but had the face of her husband. She could only whisper:

— Don't worry, my love, mommy will fix everything. I promise.
