Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

The secondary enhancement of the trait requires a maximum intimacy level.

There are only eight Pokémon that meet this condition.

Xiao Du, Bo Feng, Bing Bing, Xiao Xin, Tie Tou, Da Dan, Xiao Jin, and Er Li.

Xiao Dubofeng and the others are one thing, after all, they have been with Mu Yun for a long time, and they have grown up together step by step.

But what's the situation with Xiao Jin and Er Li?

Is it because they were given a safe habitat and enough food?

If that's the case, why didn't the other water-type Pokémon react?

In particular, none of the Magikarp, which belongs to the same family as Kogane and Niko, have reached their maximum value.

Could it be related to the essence of evolution?

After all, what they all have in common is that they all used Evolution Essence.

Or perhaps it was this combination that caused Xiao Jin and Er Li's intimacy to quickly reach its maximum.

Mu Yun guessed.

After thinking for a while, Mu Yun focused his attention on who to choose.

The first two to be ruled out are Xiao Jin and Er Li.

It wasn't because they were the ones who came later; it was simply because they hadn't even started their first trait enhancement, so they couldn't possibly perform a second enhancement.

After that, Mu Yun excluded Dadan, Xiaotie, and Xiaoxin.

All three of them have strong and sufficient characteristics, so there is no need to strengthen them for the time being.

Xiao Du, Bo Feng, Bing Bing.

Looking at the remaining three names, Mu Yun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

All three of them have good characteristics. Whether it's Xiao Du's powerful brick-throwing ability, Bo Feng's infinite acceleration, or Bing Bing's ice and snow domain, they all have excellent effects.

Any secondary enhancement to any of these features would likely result in an epic upgrade.

This put Mu Yun in a bit of a predicament.

But he made a decision very quickly.

"System, give Xiaodu a chance to use his second enhancement ability!"

After much deliberation, Mu Yun finally decided to give Xiao Du this opportunity.

Xiao Du was his first Pokémon, and it accompanied him from nothing to something, through countless battles to get to where he is today.

Moreover, this opportunity was won by the pro-independence faction.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, Mu Yun felt that giving it to him was appropriate.

Furthermore, Mu Yun believes that there might be more instances of secondary attribute enhancement in the future.

We can give it to Bofeng and Bingbing later when we get it.

[Ding! Beedrill (Little One) has been detected to possess the Enhancement Ability. The secondary Ability enhancement path has been displayed. Please choose one!]

【1. Special Feature: Strike at the Vital Point +1: ......】

【2.......】

【3.......】

【4.......】

【5.......】

..............................

"Five options?"

Looking at the options displayed in the system, Mu Yu was taken aback.

This was different from what he had expected.

He thought that this so-called second feature enhancement was just an upgrade of the original feature.

I never expected them to come up with so many tricks.

This really piqued his curiosity.

So he immediately looked over.

..............................

[1. Trait - Strike at the Critical Point +1: Hidden Trait - Sniper Mutation Enhancement: All attacks are considered critical hits, and the critical hit damage multiplier is increased to 5 times, i.e., 750% of normal power. Limit Break Points Cost: 0.]

【2. Trait - Emergence from the Cocoon +1:.........

..............................

First, there's the first trait selection, which Mu Yun considered the only option—

Hit the nail on the head +1.

The effect is as simple and brutal as ever, increasing the critical hit damage multiplier from 2x to 5x, which directly increases the overall damage by 2.5x.

Combined with the existing bonuses from Xiaodu, its power becomes even more exaggerated.

If this trend continues, it's possible that he could even become a dojo-level champion who defies the Heavenly King.

If there weren't four unknown options below that I hadn't looked at, Mu Yun would have immediately chosen the first option.

With curiosity, Mu Yun continued to look down.

..............................

[2. Trait - Metamorphosis +1: A mutation enhancement of the trait "Melting Skin". After being removed from a near-death state during battle, there is a 10% chance of a miraculous transformation, permanently increasing the base stat by 200 points. This effect can only be triggered once. The original trait can be replaced by consuming 5 Limit Break Points.]

[3. Ability: Escape Artist +1: A mutated enhancement of the hidden ability Escape. At any time, the user can actively consume a small amount of HP to escape battle and return to their Poké Ball, ignoring all non-divine power-related status ailments, and recovering from them. The original ability can be replaced by consuming 5 Limit Break Points.]

【4. Features - Blank Fields:............】

..............................

"It's actually a secondary enhancement of these two characteristics..."

Looking at the descriptions of the second and third options, Mu Yun suddenly understood.

These are the two options available during the first trait enhancement.

However, this time it's all in the "plus one" state.

It only costs 5 Breakthrough Points to replace the current Direct Strike.

Well, it's quite thoughtful.

But Mu Yun gave up after only reading it once.

Although the two secondary enhancements are quite effective, they are still somewhat underwhelming.

While 200 base stat points is a lot, a 10% chance is still too low.

As for the effects on those who escaped?

Having been baptized by God, Xiao Du already possessed it.

So, Mu Yun quickly skipped those two options and looked at the last two.

..............................

[4. Trait - Blank Slot: This is a blank trait slot. After activation, you can select any trait from the Pokémon's gene sequence as its second trait. Limit Break Points Cost: 0.]

[5. Trait - Targeted Blank Slot: This is a blank trait slot. When activated, it allows you to select a trait possessed by a Pokémon of the same type as your second trait. Cost: 5 Limit Break Points.]

..............................

"Blank columns and directional blank columns?"

Mu Yun found these two options quite interesting.

For most Pokémon, having two traits is an enhancement.

Some sprites may lack other characteristics, but the fifth option—directional blank space—makes up for this perfectly.

This inevitably reminded Mu Yun of some Pokémon that have powerful special abilities but weak base stats, and Pokémon that have high base stats but are dragged down by their special abilities.

For example, there's Shedinja with the Magic Guardian ability, Medicham with the Yoga ability, Marill and Diggs with the Strongman ability, or even a certain extremely lazy Slaking.

If you give Slave King a Hercules buff, or Buzzwole a Yoga Power buff, even without any stat bonuses, their damage output would be incredibly explosive.

Alternatively, you could give Snorlax a Magic Guardian, which would make it immune to damage from non-Fighting-type moves.

Alternatively, try giving Mega Swampert an all-around transformation; its damage output might not be weaker than Slaking's.

You could even give Magikarp or Gyarados the School of Fish ability like Wishiwashi, which might unite all the Magikarp and Gyarados in the world, transforming them into a divine dragon that can dominate all others.

It can be said that the combination of two characteristics allows many Pokémon to shine with a unique brilliance.

It may be like adding wings to a tiger, or like tempering pure gold.

I wonder when I'll get another chance for a second enhancement.

Mu Yun was somewhat looking forward to the lazy Slaking and the Gyarados with the School of Fish ability.

After all, Wishiwashi, when fused together, possesses combat power comparable to a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. It's unimaginable what kind of prowess it would have if it were replaced by a Gyarados, which is already powerful in its original form!

Especially Erli, with the Dragon King traits and the power of loyalty after his advancement, he might really be able to transform into a Dragon God.

Who knows, it might even fly up into the sky and sit shoulder to shoulder with the sky!
