Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Someone once saw it appear on Volcano Star. Since it was initially deduced to be a Grass-type, players jokingly said, "The grasshopper is already roasted and smells delicious."

In the subsequent storyline, players can only roughly understand from various battles with Incaros that it is a Fighting-type Pokémon and possesses several powerful skills.

Incaros is the progenitor of the Fighting type and the first Fighting type Pokémon to appear in the Pokédex. Even the first obtainable Fighting type Pokémon, Cooper, and the King-level Fighting type Pokémon, Gaia, do not have as long a history as him.

Furthermore, subsequent plot developments suggest that Incaros is likely a descendant of the Zerg from the Clio star system, possessing the power of the original Zerg bloodline, though he has not yet mastered this power.

On February 9, 2018, Incaros became available for acquisition, and on February 13, it evolved into the Light of Punishment Incaros form.

It represents the highest fighting power of the elves and the eternal existence of justice. When evil runs rampant and the universe is in crisis, it finally breaks through its own limits and shines through its evolution at this moment to welcome the punishment of justice!

To put it simply, the Light's Punishment, Incaros, is designed to be on par with the final boss of that game—

Holy Spirit Puni!

What is the concept of Holy Spirit Puni?

In the Pokémon world, it would definitely be a legendary Pokémon on par with Arceus!

No, even if Arceus came, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to those two elves.

One is a Holy Spirit type, and the other is a Light + Fighting type. These two attributes do not exist in the eighteen tablets of Arceus!

What... a powerful enemy from another world?!

Upon realizing all this, Shi Dou gasped, his eyes widening as he looked at the little mantis with intense fervor, as if he were examining a priceless treasure.

"Brother System, I'm sorry! I was a little too loud! You're really like a brother to me! This newbie gift pack is so generous! You even sent me a future mythical beast?!"

Shi Dou's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn. He apologized repeatedly to the system, unable to contain his ecstatic joy.

The cat system is quite powerful, unlike Tomato which is chaotic and disorganized.

Shidou couldn't wait to bring up the detailed data panel of the elf Dahl:

[Elf: Dahl]

[Attribute: Fighting]

【Level: 18】

【Characteristic: Sharp (Increases the power of slashing moves by 50%)

【技能：连斩（40威力虫）、突斩（40威力一般系）、力量（变化，提升1个等级的物攻）、刃气（格斗系，远程攻击50威力）、冰雪世界（110威力冰，有10%概率让对方冻结）】

[Racial Stats:]

HP: 60

Attack: 60

Defense: 50

Special Attack: 55

Special Defense: 50

Speed: 55

Total: 330

"A total of 330 in its initial form?! It mastered the 110-power ice-type ultimate move 'Ice World' at level 18?! And it has the 'Sharp' trait to enhance its slashing skills?!"

Shi Dou looked at the panel and his mouth was practically watering.

These numbers crush most Pokémon of the same period!

Furthermore, Hilda can evolve into her intermediate form after level 20, leaving her only one form away from Incaros.

This isn't a caterpillar; it's clearly a diamond yet to shine. If nurtured properly, it could one day punch the Dodo, kick Arceus, and sweep through the League of Legends!

"It's a fortune! This time it's really a fortune!"

Tokito rubbed his hands excitedly, carefully squatted down, and tried his best to make his expression look kind and friendly. "Um... your name is Dahl, right? Hello, my name is Tokito. I'll be your partner from now on. Nice to meet you!"

Little Dar tilted its head, its black blade flashing as if sensing the goodwill Shi Dou was showing. It gently raised one of its sharp arm blades and carefully touched Shi Dou's outstretched fingers, making a soft "click" sound, thus establishing a contract of friendship.

"Great!" Tokito stood up, his confidence surging. "Come on, Dahl, let's test our skills and get used to the fight."

Shi Dou looked around the dojo and saw a wrist-strength-wielding athlete diligently practicing hand-to-hand chop on a sandbag.

"You're the one, Arm Wrestler. Come here for a second and lend a hand. Practice sparring with your new partner!"

Upon hearing this, Arm Grip stopped, looked curiously at Tokito and the green mantis he had never seen before beside him, nodded, and assumed a fighting stance.

Although it's not considered strong, it's one of the "veterans" that has remained in the dojo.

"Alright, Dahl, this is our first time fighting side by side. Our opponent is Machop, it's a Fighting-type mirror match, don't be afraid, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Dahl immediately leaped forward, crossed his bladed claws in front of him, and sharpened his eyes, entering battle mode.

"Wrist strength, preemptive strike, hand chop."

Shi Dou gave the order.

With a low shout, Wanli rushed forward, his palm glowing white as he slashed at Dahl.

"Dahl, dodge with speed, then use [Combo Slash]!"

Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, Tokito decided to test Dahl's combat abilities.

The little mantis Dahl's sharp eyes flashed, as if he had seen through all of Maxi's movements. He turned his body to the side with extreme agility, dodging Maxi's hand strike by the slightest difference.

At the same time, its right arm claws instantly lit up with Bug-type energy, and it swiftly slashed towards the side of its arm!

Swish!

The first strike hits!

Sharpness is triggered, increasing base power by 50%!

My wrist hurt, and my body stiffened.

When Dahl's skill [Chain Slash] is activated, the second slash follows immediately, faster and seemingly more powerful.

boom!

The second strike hit precisely again!

The wrist-strength was knocked back two steps, its face showing a strained expression. The damage from just two consecutive slashes had exceeded its expectations.

"Such speed! Such powerful combos!" Tokito's eyes lit up, and he continued to command, "Dahl, press your advantage! Use [Blade Aura]!"

Dahl steadied himself, crossed his arms and claws in front of his chest, and quickly gathered Fighting-type energy. Then he swung forward and a crescent-shaped Fighting-type energy blade flew out of his body, accurately shooting towards the still unsteady Arm Force!

boom!

The Fighting-type energy exploded, with outstanding effects!

His wrist strength finally gave way, and he fell to the ground, losing his ability to fight.

"Well done, Dahl!" Shi Dou ran over excitedly.

The battle was clean and efficient. Dahl's speed, skill combos, and power far exceeded his expectations. The slashing skills enhanced by the [Sharp] trait dealt damage that was clearly visible to the naked eye!

Dahl retracted his arm blade, the blue light in his eyes calming down. He walked to Tokito's side and gently nuzzled him.

Looking at the infinitely promising Dahl beside him, and then at the bracelet on his wrist given to him by the system, Tokito's gloom vanished, replaced by unprecedented confidence and fighting spirit.

"League approval? Sabrina? Psychic Gym? Just wait! With Dahl, the time has come for our Fighting Gym to rise to power!!"

Chapter 3: Strange Trees and Amazing Tales Livestream!

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the wooden floor of the fighting dojo in a warm orange-red hue, making the dojo exceptionally tranquil after a day of hustle and bustle.

In the center of the dojo, a small green figure continued to tirelessly swing its arm blade.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

With focused eyes, Elf Dar swung his blade forward again and again, his movements precise and swift, accompanied by the sound of air being cut.

The little mantis was completely immersed in its training, displaying an astonishing level of self-discipline.

Shidou walked over with a warm cup of Moo Moo Milk, a relieved smile on his face, and said, "Alright, Dahl, take a break and have something to drink to replenish your energy."

Upon hearing this, the little mantis stopped what it was doing, its large, dark eyes looking at Shi Dou, then at the milk in his hand, before curiously moving closer.

Shi Dou handed the cup to the little mantis, which carefully touched the cup with the edge of its arm blade before lowering its head and taking small sips.

"Moo~"

As the sweet milk entered his mouth, Dahl's eyes seemed to light up instantly. He clearly liked the taste very much and drank it faster, making a satisfied little "click" sound.

"If you like it, that's good. You can have it every day from now on."

Tokito gently stroked its smooth, hard head. Dahl didn't flinch; instead, it rubbed against his palm and continued to enjoy its delicious milk.

Under the setting sun, the figures of the human and the elf appeared exceptionally warm, their bond deepening silently.

However, the shock that Tokito felt went far beyond that.

This afternoon, this little mantis, which had only arrived less than a day ago, crushed all the Pokémon left in the dojo with overwhelming force.

Arm wrestler, fearless kid, and even a fairly strong flying kicker... all were knocked down!

Especially the wrist strength training that Dahl initially used on the punching bag, which he then used as a punching bag for, resulted in him being hit five times in one day...

The Mantis's fighting style is efficient, fierce, and incredibly fast, especially its [Combo Slash], which, enhanced by the [Sharpness] attribute, has its power skyrocketing with each consecutive hit, making it almost impossible for any opponent to withstand the third strike. Even more terrifying is its self-discipline; without needing prompting, it seizes every opportunity to hone its skills.

A Pokémon that trains itself... This is simply perfect!

Shi Dou saw all of this and was overjoyed.

Is this the potential of a future mythical beast?

So incredibly talented!

If we register Little Mantis for the Baby Cup, it might automatically win the championship.

As night fell completely, Dahl continued his monotonous sword-wielding practice under the moonlight. Tokito returned to his room, and while he was excited, practical problems surfaced in his mind.

The system is tied to the popularity of the gym, but in today's Goldenrod City, all the trainers' eyes are focused on that magnificent and powerful Psychic Gym. Who would pay attention to this remote, dilapidated Fighting Gym that is even in danger of losing its official status?

Popularity...where does popularity come from?

Shi Dou pondered for a moment, then suddenly, his instincts from his past life made his eyes light up, and he couldn't help but say, "That's right, we can also do live streaming!"

In his previous life, Shi Tou was a small content creator with 100,000 followers on a certain pink TV website, mainly live streaming Pokémon battles and providing tactical explanations, so he was no stranger to this kind of thing.

Shi Du immediately opened the world's most popular live streaming platform—

Bogarman TV.

The homepage feed was indeed bustling with activity, featuring a dazzling array of Pokémon-related live streams.

Shi Dou's finger unconsciously typed a name into the search bar: Qi Shu.

The page redirects, and a vibrant and energetic live stream pops up instantly. The title of the live stream is: "[Strange Trees and Strange Tales Live Stream~! Even electric dogs will be stunned by the electricity~!]", and the number of subscribers is an astonishing 100 million+!

In the scene, Kiju, the Electric-type Gym Leader from the Padilla region, is giving his opening remarks with his signature twin tails and energetic pose, "Everyone~ Kiju~! Super Electric~ here~! Ta-da~! Ehe☆!"

"Capture your eye with an electric grid! Who's narrating this? It's me, Qishu! Good morning, noon, and night, hello Ciao~"

The barrage of comments rolled in like a tidal wave:

"Ciallo~"

"Wow, Kiju-chan is so cute."

"The cutest one in the Padiya region!"

"So cute! You've charmed me!"

"My wife."

"My urine upstairs is yellow, it might wake you up."

"A shout-out to Master Qishu!"

Qishu cleverly combines the identity of a museum owner with the business model of a virtual streamer, and its popularity is frighteningly high.

"Following in Qi Shu's footsteps...maybe I can also get a piece of the pie in the live streaming industry and quickly build up my popularity!"

Shi Dou seemed to have found a shortcut. But he calmed down the next second.
