It's quite ridiculous.
In a daze, he remembered that he had obtained the strongest trainer system.
Yet when he opened his eyes again, not only had he traveled to the Fairy Tail world.
He had also turned into the strongest Pokémon system.
A humanoid Arceus, how interesting?
As for the so-called system, it had become a mess.
Apart from being able to display panels and the exchange function, many other features were just garbled.
After fumbling around for a long time, he gradually understood that it was likely due to the heavy impact during the crossing that caused the panels he had drawn in the system to blend together, resulting in a mishmash system.
Otherwise, how could there be an A-rank mage on this alpaca panel?
In the Pokémon world, there is no classification like mages; he vaguely remembered that he had drawn something like the strongest mage system.
But there was good news.
Although many functions were not usable, the exchange function still worked, and due to the mixed fusion, Gaal could exchange many items from other worlds.
Moreover, he could absorb various materials to replenish the system's origin.
Only when the origin is completely replenished can Gaal create the eighteen unique Genesis Plates that belong solely to him.
The combat power of Arceus with and without plate bonuses is vastly different.
Gaal currently only had the Water and Fire plates.
This was because these two attributes were abundant in the Fairy Tail world, and many magical beasts also had these attributes. After several years of collecting, he managed to replenish the origin and create them.
As for Deliora, such a powerful and evil demon, he wondered how much origin it could replenish.
Perhaps it could help him complete and produce another one or two plates.
Thinking of this, Gaal felt a bit of a headache.
The amount of origin required to replenish the Genesis Plates is overwhelming; being able to collect enough for two plates would already be remarkable.
He didn't know how long it would take to gather the origin for all eighteen.
Fortunately, benefiting from the Arceus template itself, which encompasses eighteen attributes including Water, Fire, Grass, Ice, Poison, and Dragon, Gaal could learn magic of any attribute.
Gaal wasn't worried about everyday combat studies.
This is also the reason why Gaal's panel looked so magnificent.
After all, it allowed him to learn all Pokémon skills and nearly all forms of magic, though limited by his age and time, his current magic accumulation could only be considered on par with an A-rank mage.
However, combined with Pokémon's Gigantamax, it would be enough to deal with Deliora.

Gaal picked out several tasks from the bulletin board.
He gathered a dozen or so and stored them.
Calling Gengar, he stepped outside.
On the other side, Gengar was floating in the guild hall, his eyes glimmering slightly as he used telekinesis to arrange some scattered tables and chairs.
In just a moment, he had sorted out the furniture that no one was sitting on.
Hearing Gaal's call, Gengar immediately shrank his size, becoming slightly larger than a fist.
He floated over to Gaal and perched on his shoulder.
This way, he wouldn't look too scary.
After all, while the purple ghost was cute, his height was intimidating, and combined with his seemingly evil eyes, only the residents of Magnolia were accustomed to him.
Every time people from other regions saw the purple ghost, they looked like they had seen a ghost.
There was no other choice; he ultimately had to reduce his size to avoid scaring others.
Exiting the Fairy Tail guild,
the townsfolk of Magnolia had already mostly risen.
Shouts of vendors began echoing through the streets.
Gaal bought two breakfasts and, while eating, made his way to the Magnolia station.
Magnolia, being a major stronghold of the Fiore Kingdom,
was also home to one of the country's top guilds, Fairy Tail.
There was no need to mention the basic infrastructure; the station connecting to the entire country was something many guilds envied, not to mention connections to other regions.
Gaal wanted to buy a ticket to the city of Isbong, located in the northern part of the Ishgar continent.
Recently, Deliora had appeared there.
But it was quite a distance away.
Moreover, due to Deliora's rampage, Isbong's infrastructure had been destroyed.
Trains no longer operated to Isbong.
There was no option.
Gaal had to purchase a ticket to a city not too far from Isbong.
The distance wasn't too different, anyway.
Departing from Magnolia, the train needed to cross through two kingdoms to reach Isbong; there were indeed many kingdoms on the Ishgar continent, but there was no other neutral strong country like Fiore.
Many kingdoms called themselves kingdoms, but it was merely self-proclaimed enclaves; they could easily be destroyed by powerful mages.
However, no one had done that yet, as the Magic Council wasn't to be trifled with.
Once on the train,
in a private compartment, Gengar was rolling around on the bed.
Gaal leaned against the window, picking up a magic magazine from the table, flipping through it as the scenery outside zipped by.
The long train departed Magnolia, heading toward the northern part of the Ishgar continent.
——
Days later.
Isbong.
Getting off the hired magic vehicle.
Standing at the former city entrance.
What came into Gaal's view was a city that had been completely destroyed.
The entire city looked as if it had been attacked by some giant entity, with massive ravines crisscrossing all around, and not a single intact building remained.
Giant craters spread for hundreds of meters, littered throughout the city.
From these, one could easily see how Deliora had ruthlessly destroyed the entire city.
There was even no effective resistance organized.
In a very short time, the entire city had turned into a wasteland.
It had been several days since Deliora's rampage had passed, yet the air still lingered with a strong feeling of evil.
Gaal walked into the devastated city.
As Deliora left, the gradually calming Isbong had seen several returning residents rebuild their homes.
Gaal inquired with these residents.
They returned only after hearing that Deliora had been lured away to Brago.
Gaal took out a map and looked.
Brago was located in the far north of the Ishgar continent.
In the cold weather, apart from countless snow-capped mountains, there were only a few main towns, and the population was sparse.
It was clear that after being lured away, Deliora moved northward without looking back.
At least there was no worry about the destruction caused by the battle.
Having Deliora's trace made things much easier.
Gaal put away the map and raised his hand to press the Poké Ball at his waist.
A flash of red light appeared, and a fully orange Dragonite appeared on the ground, affectionately rubbing its head against Gaal.
Gaal patted Dragonite's head, then jumped onto its back and commanded:
"Dragonite. Head north."
Dragonite let out a light roar:
"Roar~!"
A light blue psychic shield enveloped its body, and then it flapped its wings and took off.
Soaring through the sky like a yellow meteor, it sped toward the direction where Brago was located.
