Chereads / Pokemon: Rising From The Dark / Chapter 2 - System Activated

Chapter 2 - System Activated

"Sure enough, when I first arrived in this world, the system came with me!"

Even Aoki, who was always calm, couldn't help but feel excited. In his previous life, he was able to be reach the power of a quasi-elite trainer thanks to the system.

However, in his previous life, the system was activated by accident. By that time, he had already been far surpassed by others. Even with the help of the system, it was extremely difficult for him to catch up.

"System, scan!" Silently suppressing the excitement in his heart, Aoki turned his attention to Murkrow beside him and gave the mental command.

Almost instantly there was a reply!

"Beep!" A three-dimensional image was drawn in front of his eyes, visible only to him.

A series of detailed data are shown on the chart. All the moves and characteristics of Murkrow are described in detail.

Aoki's eyes shone with excitement.

Detailed data!

In his past life when the chip was turned on in the, it was blank. All kinds of data were obtained by him through various methods, and they were classified into different categories. Only then did such detailed renderings appear. For these data, he has visited almost all the databases of the Rockets under his authority, and even data that exceeds his authority, risking his life multiple times. 

As a civilian trainer, the most important thing is knowledge. Only after you have the knowledge can you efficiently train Pokemon to their full potential.

So after seeing all the detailed data about the Murkrow, even someone as used to death as Aoki couldn't help but feel excited.

Luckily, all the data from the previous life has been saved by the system!

The green colour next to Murkrow's name represents its talent. The order of talents is a complete rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple.

Green qualification ranks middle among all qualification levels. Although it is not the highest, it was still quite rare. It must be known that Pokemon in the wild usually have red or orange talents. Even the occasional yellow talented Pokemon will be coveted by trainers because of its special characteristics.

Therefore, green qualifications are actually very rare.

Aoki guesses that, among the Pokemon assigned by the Rockets this time, there are no more than ten green talented Pokemon. Even so, the Rockets clearly want to invest a little in advance for the new members.

In the previous life, Aoki reached the 34th place with a green-talent Murkrow. It can be seen that in his previous life, surviving on Trial Island had been possible thanks to Murkrow's talent as his skill as a trainer had been minimal.

Aoki took a deep breath to calm himself. This time he wouldn't be weak! Weakness is a sin.

On this trial island, there is only one law: survival of the fittest. To be strong, he first needed to improve his Pokemon's power.

The first step now was to restore Murkrow's condition. A normal Murkrow generally measured around half a meter tall, but this one was only about forty centimeters in height. First, he needed to restore its health to take full advantage of its talent and train it properly.

"Let's go, Murkrow, let's find some food." Aoki patted his shoulder and motioned for Murkrow to perch on his shoulder.

Murkrow hesitated for a moment, fearing its weight might hurt the malnourished Aoki. But it eventually decided to rest on his shoulder.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder, and leaving deeper footprints on the sand, Aoki slowly walked into the woods with Murkrow.

As a member of Team Rocket who had risen from the bottome, Aoki was an expert in survival techniques. He knew which berries were edible, which were poisonous, which restored energy and which could heal status conditions.

After giving several ripe Oran berries to Murkrow, Aoki bit into the slightly green fruit in his hand.

The sour juice slipped from the corner of his mouth, but he endured the discomfort and slowly ate the berry.

Oran berries are the most common berry that be found in the wild that can restore physical strength, but because there are a lot of wild Pokemon here, there are not many ripe fruits.

Although these unripe berries weren't as effective as the ripe one, they were still quite useful.

"Caw!" Murkrow, after devouring the berries, looked at the fruit in Aoki's hands, and a hint of warmth appeared in its eyes.

Although it didn't understand why this man whom it had just met gave it the best berries and settled for the worst, it felt a feeling that it hadn't felt since leaving its parents; a feeling of being cared for.

"Murkrow, eat these berries for now. I know you prefer to eat meat, but this is all we have for now." Aoki said, somewhat apologetically.

"Caw...", Murkrow rubbed its beak against Aoki's cheek in acceptance.

Aoki smiled slightly as images of the Murkrow that had protected him to the end in his past life overlapped with the Murkrow now resting on his shoulder. A feeling of connection slowly settled in his heart.

What he had cared for the least in his previous life is now what he valued the most.

Walking slowly in the forest path, leaving a row of deep and shallow footprints on both feet. Aoki stopped in front of a dense bush. Based on his experience, there are often small animals hiding in these kind of bushes, and sometimes even Pokemon.

In this world, although Pokemon exist, there are also some animals in this world, and carnivorous Pokemon often hunt them as food. Generally in this world, Pokemon are not considered as prey.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Aoki had expected, a small gray rabbit darted out of the bush.

"Looks like this will be our dinner today," Aoki said with a faint smile, "Murkrow, use Peck!"

Seeing the food appearing and hearing the voice of Aoki, Murkrow didn't hesitate. It dove down and stabbed its sharp beak into the rabbit, killing it instantly.

Just as Murkrow was about to celebrate, a purple shadow crossed the ground, and the rabbit on the ground disappeared.
