My anime-style card deck is fine!

Unlike regular card star ratings, this system allows you to accumulate experience to permanently increase your Pokémon's level. As your level increases, you can also gain additional boosts to your attack, defense, star rating, and even change your effects and form!

Note that it is 【extra】!

This means that no matter how much the Pokémon's level increases, in terms of the rules of duels, this card is only a [1-star card]!

These are followers that even a child can summon at will!

Can you imagine a little kid being able to summon silver or even gold minions at will?!

"I just don't know what the maximum improvement this card can provide is."

Wang Quan looked solemnly at Amon, who was playing with his cat on the field: "If the limit is very high, then this deck is too terrifying."

“…!” Nan Ruyin sat down next to Wang Quan.

For a moment, I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles, and my mind felt completely blank.

what happened?

What is she doing here? Why is she here? How did this topic veer so far off course? A world-shaking card deck? Amon?

Nan Ruyin's smile vanished as she stared blankly at the projection of Amon in the audience.

Is this person really that strong?

……

"Thank you for your hard work, Flame-Spotted Cat."

Amon crouched down, hugged the smug, tail-wagging Flame-Spotted Cat tightly, and couldn't resist ruffling its fluffy little head.

"Meow~" the Firefly meowed contentedly.

She only jumped out of Amon's arms and aside when she couldn't take it anymore.

Amon was a little disappointed that he couldn't get a cat to pet him anymore, while the little wild boar at his feet grunted twice and rubbed against Amon's calf to show that it was still there.

Unfortunately, pigs and cats cannot be compared.

Completely oblivious to the little boar's little scheme, Amon focused his attention on card making after the Fire-spotted Cat ran away.

The duels in the next few rooms were nothing special.

After defeating the Wild Boar, the Firefly leveled up to level 8, and its attack and defense also increased to a total of 520 points, making it easy to beat up a 1-star monster.

After easily defeating its opponent, Litten's level increased to 10.

Amon also received a new skill from Litten.

As for the cards dropped by the monsters, Amon used them to create a new Pokémon – [Pokémon Aipom] joined the team!

Aipom's special ability is [Pick Up].

The efficiency of picking up discarded cards from the field far exceeded that of Amon, and the number of cards picked up was much greater than that of Amon. In less than a minute, this long-tailed monster had picked up four cards from various corners!

"Thanks."

Amon rubbed the head of the long-tailed monster, making her eyes squint in comfort.

Taking the discarded card from the Longtail Hand, Amon casually tossed it into the card-making machine. After a series of rumbling vibrations, the machine spat out four new cards.

One tree fruit, and three props.

Normally, items are undoubtedly more valuable than berries, but in the Pokémon universe, it's different. This world is too vast, therefore...

"...I've learned something new. There really are magic cards that have no effect whatsoever."

Amon sighed deeply.

The tree fruit is alright; it's an orange-fruit that can restore health. Although the effect isn't ideal, at least it still has some effect.

However, the props are meaningless junk like [Southern Seashells]!

"They've even made something like this. It seems the Pokémon card pool is much deeper than I thought." Amon casually put the newly made card into the cartridge.

Chengcheng then equipped the little wild boar at her feet.

As for those three seashells from the South... Amon will just treat them as souvenir cards.

Amon's interest in discarded cards has greatly diminished.

However, Aipom's scavenging efficiency was simply too high. Basically, by the time Amon defeated the gatekeeper monster with Litten, Aipom, having nothing else to do, had already scavenged the entire room.

This time it was even more significant; they actually found seven cards in Amon's possession!

In the next level, there are five more useless cards!

As Amon, with the newly added Pokémon Jumplover atop his head, put the newly dropped cards into the card-making machine, he saw Aipom offering him a stack of cards like a treasure.

"..."

Looking at the twelve useless cards in his hand, Amon could foresee that he would acquire a considerable number of useless cards in the future!

Moreover, although there is a card-making machine, making cards still requires mental effort.

Choosing to make tree fruits and miscellaneous items like before is really unnecessary, after all—that's just turning a discarded card into a useless card.

I wanted to tell the long-tailed monster that it didn't need to look for these things anymore, but looking at the little one's big, expectant eyes filled with joy, I just couldn't bring myself to say it.

Perhaps I can change my approach?

Amon pondered, but his hands didn't stop moving. When he pulled the card out of the card-making machine, he discovered that it was a Pokémon with the Contrarian ability, Shuckle.

...As expected, one shouldn't be distracted when making cards.

Sighing, Amon did come up with a plan for dealing with the discarded cards.

"Since berries and items aren't working well, let's try something else. Pokémon items aren't limited to berries!" Amon handed her the discarded card from Aipom and, as usual, patted her head as a reward.

Then I watched the little monkey jumping around happily.

Amon's mood brightened considerably. He took out the seven discarded cards he had collected from the Aipom and stuffed them all into the card-making machine in one go!

"Boom!" The card-making machine began to vibrate violently, more so than ever before.

However, Amon was not worried at all that the thing would break.

—After all, it's not my own.

The card-making machine ran for a while, and Amon closed his eyes and concentrated. After a while, when Amon took the card out of the card-making machine again, it brought out a real black ash.

However, quite a few cards were completely ruined during the card production process!

Amon shook the cards in his hand and counted them. He found that quite a few cards had survived, a total of six, which was almost a 50% success rate!

"Litten, come here~ I've got something good to show you!" Amon called to Litten, who was playing nearby, while the other Pokémon also curiously gathered around.

Without wasting any words, Amon activated all six cards in his hand in one go.

"I activate the effect of the Pokémon Experience Candy in my hand, banishing all of them face-down and targeting one of my Pokémon to increase its experience points!"

With a flick of his wrist, all six cards in Amon's hand vanished instantly.

Excluding the inside side means that the card is lost forever, just like the Destruction Mushroom before Amon. To get it again, it must be re-crafted!

However, Amon showed no regret whatsoever.

because……

Litten is level 20!

Chapter 104: Flame Leap

As the six beams of light merged into the Firefly's body, an immense power surged forth, instantly propelling the little cat to level 20!

It reached the level of evolution in an instant, but the brilliance of evolution quickly dimmed.

It is an everlasting stone.

Amon used an Everstone!

"Congratulations, Litten! But please be patient with your evolution." Amonton bent down and patted Litten's head.

"Meow~!"

The Fire-spotted Cat shook its body uncomfortably, but quickly adapted to the changes and immediately went to Amon's feet, happily rubbing against him.

However, he still tilted his head and looked at Amon with a puzzled expression.

Why not let her evolve?

"If I don't evolve, I can learn [Flash Charge] by myself at level 36. But if I evolve, it will be too late by the time I can acquire the skill. Since I have the opportunity to acquire it easily, I don't want to let it go."

Litten is already the first Pokémon that can learn Flare Blitz on its own, while for Litten on Evolve Island, it needs to reach level 50, which corresponds to Silver 5 stars!

However, level 36 is only Bronze III.

Compared to the latter's difficulty, the former is obviously more convenient—and Amon happens to have an Everstone.

"Meow meow meow~" Firefly nodded thoughtfully.

Then a pair of large hands lifted her up from the ground, and she was quickly placed in a familiar place.

It was on Amon's shoulders that I found the strength!

She fell in love with the spot after trying it out once.

"gone."

Amon called out, and his other shoulder was immediately occupied by the long-tailed monster's hand.

Amon's head was covered with a stubborn twig, his arms held a rather small and exquisite pot, and a little wild boar followed closely at his feet.

The whole team was quite a large and impressive group!

However, the moment Amon pushed open the door to the next room and stepped inside, all of these little ones were forcibly returned to the deck.

But it doesn’t matter!

Pokémon all have a self-searching effect—although Amon only has five cards in total right now, he can draw them all at the start of the game.

"Summon [Firefly]!"

Litten's devastating battle has begun once again!
