"Gulp…"
Aaron couldn't help swallowing hard as he looked over the skills.
Strong.
Way too strong.
Although they weren't completely faithful to their original Naruto descriptions and had clearly been reworked by the system, they were still absurdly powerful.
Especially Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu—famously known as a straight-up cheat skill. The system had preserved its most broken effect. When the clones dissipated, all of their accumulated data returned to the main body.
That meant he could send the clones out to train skills, then recall them all at once and massively boost the main body's proficiency.
It was absurdly good.
Without hesitation, Aaron immediately assigned Rasengan and Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu to Froakie. Unfortunately, the other skills were locked behind level requirements and would have to wait.
Froakie was still happily munching on an Energy Cube when fragments of memory suddenly surfaced in its mind. In an instant, it felt as though it had mastered two brand-new techniques.
Aaron reopened Froakie's attribute panel.
[Name: Froakie (Shiny)]
(Shiny Effect: Both Attack and Special Attack +10%)
[Gender: Male]
[Nature: Relaxed]
[Type: Water]
[Ability: Protean]
[Base Stats Total: 314]
[Level: Newbie (Late Stage)]
[Pokémon Potential: Champion-Class level]
[Known Moves: Power-Up Punch (Basic), Bubble (Basic), Rasengan (Mastery), Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu (Mastery)…]
[Description: Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon. It can attack enemies with bubbles from its back and also reduce damage taken.]
...
Aaron stared at the panel in disbelief.
Froakie had already jumped from the early stage to the late stage. These Energy Cubes were insane.
Even more outrageous was the fact that both Rasengan and Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu had jumped straight to mastered proficiency. As expected, anything produced by the system was top-tier—skills learned through it went directly to mastered level.
Rasengan already had a base power of 100. At mastered level, it jumped to 120.
Absurd.
Had he ever seen a Pokémon that had just been born and already wielded a 120-power move?
One Rasengan and a kid would be blown away.
After storing Froakie back into its Poké Ball, Aaron walked over to another room, knocked on the door, and called out,
"Lily, come out for dinner!!"
The door opened.
A slender girl with her hair tied in a ponytail stepped out, her expression completely indifferent. She merely cast Aaron a brief glance before walking past him.
Aaron was left standing there, awkward and speechless.
Her name was Lily—his younger sister, just over a year younger than him, and his sworn enemy.
Or rather, the sworn enemy of the original Aaron.
Ever since childhood, the original Aaron had loved bullying his little sister. (Absolutely despicable.)
As a result, his image in her heart was practically nonexistent.
Lily got along better with the neighbor's dog than she did with him.
Not only that, she was a top student—an academic ace with extensive Pokémon knowledge, currently ranked first in her grade.
Meanwhile, he was a complete underachiever who didn't even know Pikachu's abilities.
No wonder she despised him.
When Aaron had first transmigrated, he'd been thrilled to suddenly have such a cute little sister. He never imagined the original Aaron had been such a beast, bullying her to that extent.
It made his blood boil. He nearly wanted to drag the original Aaron's soul out and whip it.
Over the past three months, he'd tried his best to repair this fragile sibling relationship.
Clearly, he'd failed.
"Sigh..."
Aaron let out a quiet sigh and followed the others to the dining table, where the family of four sat down to eat.
During the meal, when their mother mentioned that Aaron now had a Froakie as his Pokémon, a subtle change flickered through Lily's usually cold eyes. She glanced at him again.
As a top student, she knew exactly what that meant.
Once Froakie evolved into Greninja, its base stats would reach 530—more than enough to qualify as an Elite level Pokémon.
The realization clearly surprised her.
But her expression quickly returned to normal, and she continued eating calmly.
...
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, Aaron and Yuri arrived at school together.
The moment they entered the classroom, they were greeted by the sight of all kinds of Pokémon. Students chatted excitedly, introducing their partners to one another, smiles plastered across their faces.
