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

"How dare you! These two are for you."

On an island in Carp Lake, Mu Yun handed the last drop of Moonlight Dew and the Pearl of the Vast Ocean to Da Dan.

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

[Ding! The armored warrior (bold) is absorbing Moonlight Dew, energy quality +5%!]

[Ding! Moonlight Dew is melting the treasure—the Pearl of the Azure Sea. The Armored Warrior (Bold) level has been greatly increased!]

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

[Ding! Armored Warrior (Bold) Current Level: 43!]

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

"It has to be a top-tier secret treasure that's powerful enough to directly level up twelve levels."

Seeing that Dan Da had reached the mid-elite level, Mu Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Originally at the bottom of the team, it suddenly surpassed Xiao Tie and Xiao Xin, reaching a level similar to Bing Bing.

It's a pity that top-tier treasures are still too expensive, otherwise he would have exchanged two more for Dadan.

"roar!!"

(I felt power!!)

He boldly opened his eyes, feeling a surge of power within his body with delight.

He felt that he could easily beat ten of his past selves.

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

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

"Hmm? Starfish has broken through its level?"

Hearing the system notification, Mu Yun subconsciously looked at Hai Xingxing and the others who were training not far away.

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

"Have you accumulated enough points to break the limit yet?"

After several days, the panel of the starfish has changed considerably.

Among them, the potential has been upgraded from the original professional level to the elite level.

This was an improvement Mu Yun helped him make when he first accumulated enough experience.

Besides him, Lobster Soldier, Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp, Big Claw Crab, and Horned Goldfish, which originally only had the potential of being senior-level, were all successively promoted to elite-level by Mu Yun.

If this were when Mu Yun was first starting out with Pokémon, he would definitely prioritize enhancing their traits.

But now, he doesn't need them to appear as immediate combat forces, so naturally, he prioritizes enhancing their potential.

This way, they can focus on training their skills and breaking through skill limits without hindering their level progression.

"The potential of the elite level is sufficient for now. Let's try enhancing the characteristics of Staryu."

While the enhancements to the other Pokémon's traits are effective, their strength is immediately apparent; the effects are visible once the enhancement is complete.

The only thing that piqued his curiosity was the starfish's [super brain] characteristic.

Especially after the computing power is improved, there is the effect of reconstructing the core of the gem itself.

It looks somewhat magical.

"Starfish, come here for a second."

Mu Yun flashed to Hai Xingxing's side and waved to him.

"Hey ya~~"

Upon hearing the call from the big brother, the starfish sprang up from the underwater beach with a splash, its two tentacles, which were indistinguishable as legs or hands, quickly waded through the puddles and came to Mu Yun.

Mu Yun usually doesn't call them when there's nothing else to do.

If you call them, it's highly likely that something good is coming.

So, Hai Xingxing nimbly ran to Mu Yun's side, bent down, and did it all in one smooth motion.

Waiting patiently for the big brother's pat on the head as a reward.

Mu Yun:............

How come they're all so skilled?

"System, enhance the starfish's characteristics."

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

[Ding! The optional ability enhancement paths for Staryu are now available. Please choose one!]

[1. Analysis +1: During combat, the power of your own moves increases by 5% every second, up to a maximum of 100%. Cost: 1 Limit Break Point.]

[2. Super Brain: The mutation enhancement of characteristic analysis allows you to instantly deconstruct the opponent's intentions with your super brain. At the same time, you can use superpowers to release special fluctuations in advance to disrupt the opponent's thoughts and interrupt their moves. The greater the difference in mental strength between the two sides, the longer the interruption lasts and the better the interference effect.]

Once its computing power reaches a certain level, it can analyze itself, gain the ability to interfere with cell regeneration, and achieve effects such as rapid self-healing and limb regeneration.

Once its computing power reaches a higher level, it can reconstruct its own gem core and gain the ability to change its own form.

Consumes 5 Limit Break Points.

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

The analysis shows that in the game, the effect of a move is that the power of the move increases when the move is executed second.

In the real world, it's pretty much the same, except that the duration of the battle gradually increases.

The special effects aren't outstanding, but they're not bad either.

However, Mu Yun still prefers the feature called Super Brain, and he wonders if it will be able to compete with Alakazam or Metagross after being enhanced.

"Choose the second one, Super Brain!"

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

[Ding! Trait enhancement selected, 5 Limit Break Points deducted, Trait enhancement in progress...]

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

The familiar starry sky unfolds, the vast stars reappear, and dazzling light envelops the starry sea.

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

[Ding! Staryu's ability enhancement complete. The original ability, Analysis, has been replaced by the new ability, Super Brain!]

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

[Ding! During the ability upgrade process, Staryu seems to have gained a new understanding of Psychic-type energy and has learned the move—Rest!]

[Ding! With the blessing of special enlightenment, Staryu's proficiency in the move "Sleep" has improved. Current proficiency level: Mastered!]

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

[Sleep (Mastery, 0/100): Stamina recovery during sleep +100%, brain relaxation during sleep +50%.]

[Sleep: A Psychic-type status move. After entering a sleep state, the user quickly recovers their stamina and heals themselves from status conditions with weaker effects.]

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

[Ding! Starfish has leveled up! Current level: 31!]

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

"Hey...ya...hey...ya..."

After the system notification sound, the starfish seemed like a stuck robot, the gem on its chest flashing, much like a giant of light whose energy had reached its limit.

Just as Mu Yun was wondering if his starfish had lost its mind, a broken, mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

"Big...brother...thank you...!"

"??"

Mu Yun blinked, looking at the starfish in front of him with some surprise.

If he wasn't mistaken, he thought he just heard the other person speak human language.
