"Ding! Mewtwo defeated Mega Beedrill. Due to the effect of the Exp. Share, all Pokémon gained experience. Because the Power of Viridian was used twice in this battle, the amount of experience gained was reduced to one-fourth of the original amount!"
"Ding! Charizard...Fraxure gained experience! Level +5, reaching level 70!"
"Ding! Dragonite and Dragonite gained experience! Level +7, reaching level 70!"
"Ding! Aerodactyl gained experience! Level +45, reaching level 50!"
"Ding! Due to Mewtwo's special situation, it will not gain experience, but will be able to further control its own strength. Level +5, reaching Lv85!"
Eddie had just opened the game menu and saw such a massive amount of information. This was only the more significant information about gaining experience. There was much more below.
"Fortunately, I turned off the notification sounds before the battle. Otherwise, if I heard such constant 'ding ding ding' sounds during the battle, I might have been distracted."
Although Mewtwo had probably defeated Mega Beedrill when Eddie fainted, this was just a coincidence. If this had happened earlier, when Giovanni was confronting him, he might have been defeated by Giovanni if he showed even a moment's weakness.
"That's about right. Except for the newly joined Aerodactyl, almost all team members have reached Elite level. This is excellent. With my current strength, I should be able to train at Victory Road or Mt. Silver."
Eddie didn't know how strong the Pokémon in those two locations were in his version of the "Pokémon" world, but he was already an Elite-level trainer now. With such strength, even if those two places were wild areas filled with quasi-Elite or even Elite-level Pokémon, he could still sweep through them unstoppable.
Eddie was very satisfied with his Pokémon's increased strength after this battle, so he scrolled down the menu to look at the information below.
"Ding! The large-scale story mission has ended, and contribution points have been calculated. Player Eddie defeated three Team Rocket Executives (with the help of NPCs) and Team Rocket's boss (the opponent's retreat also counts as a defeat). Contribution points awarded: 35,000!"
"Ding! Congratulations! Player Eddie is the player with the highest contribution in the mission and has obtained a Master Ball ×1!"
"Ding! You have completed the hidden mission: Rescue the townspeople of Pallet Town and Daisy! Obtained TM [Draco Meteor]! Obtained Mewtwo's Mega Evolution Stone (compatible with both X and Y forms)!"
Looking at the three new treasures in his inventory, Eddie felt deeply satisfied.
"Alright, now I have three Master Balls, which means I have three legendary Pokémon waiting for me. Once I reach Champion-level strength, I can defeat legendary Pokémon with the help of Z-Crystals."
Eddie looked at the three empty Master Balls as if he were looking at three legendary beasts. He couldn't describe how happy he felt at that moment.
"Also, I didn't expect the reward for the mission to rescue Pallet Town's residents to be so generous. Draco Meteor is the ultimate Dragon-type move, not to mention how precious Mewtwo's Mega Evolution Stone is. I feel that this reward is no worse than the reward for the main mission."
It seemed that Pallet Town was truly a crucial location. Perhaps because it was related to Professor Oak, the rewards were particularly abundant.
"But thinking about it carefully, if this mission hadn't been completed perfectly, Professor Oak would probably attack us in anger after returning to the Kanto Region. Team Rocket might be completely ruined. Considering the huge impact this would have, there seems to be nothing wrong with such a generous reward."
This was Eddie's assessment, and he didn't dwell on it much further.
"Hmm? There are a few more messages below? Let me scroll down and take a look."
Eddie thought that was about all the news, but he found a few more messages below, so he scrolled down the menu again.
"Ding! Congratulations, player 'Eddie' defeated Team Rocket's research result—the combined legendary beast, the Unified Legendary Birds. Due to the abilities of legendary beasts, defeating them will not grant experience, but will instead result in a world announcement and rewards!"
"Ding! World announcement! Congratulations to player 'Eddie' from the Kanto Region for defeating a legendary beast again! Once again achieving a brilliant victory!!!"
"Ding! World announcement! Congratulations, player 'Eddie' has received a system reward! Player 'Eddie' has obtained a Fire Z-Crystal and can designate one Pokémon whose potential will be unconditionally increased by one tier."
This announcement had been released long ago, and the players had already been informed of it, but Eddie had blocked notifications earlier, so he was only seeing this information now.
Fortunately, this designation option was still available, waiting for Eddie's choice.
"As expected, after defeating a legendary beast again, the reward isn't as substantial as before. The Pokémon potential breakthrough has been reduced from all Pokémon to just one."
Eddie had long anticipated that after the 'first clear,' the rewards for subsequent victories would definitely not be as great as the first one.
"However, this Fire Z-Crystal is also pretty good. I'll give it to Charizard, and the Dragon Z-Crystal to Garchomp."
Before Z-Crystals were fully discovered and researched by the world, Eddie could only obtain these items from the system.
Although Mr. Fuji had mentioned that some people were already studying the Alola Region, no one would be mining these things in large quantities until their use was figured out.
Furthermore, the number of Z-Crystals wasn't abundant, so it was already quite fortunate for Eddie to receive one as a mission reward.
"As for the slot for potential breakthrough, after seeing Pikachu directly break through to legendary beast potential, this slot must be given to a Pokémon with Champion-level potential! As for who it will be given to, is there any need to ask?"
"My first Pokémon, my best partner! Charizard! It's you!"
Eddie directly entered Charizard's name, and the system responded quickly. After he clicked confirm, the notification sounded.
"Ding! Player Eddie chose Charizard, and Charizard's potential has broken through! It now has 'legendary beast' potential!"
Note: Legendary beast potential: can break through level 99 to above level 100.
Seeing this, Eddie nodded with satisfaction.
He had long wanted to raise his first Pokémon, Charizard, to legendary beast potential, but this was even harder than breaking through to Champion level. Even Gold Bottle Caps couldn't accomplish it, so he could only wait for opportunities to defeat legendary beasts.
"Alright, that's it for this inventory check. It's time for me to take a break."
"Today, I am truly tired, completely exhausted~~~"
Eddie stretched and prepared to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
Today, he planned to log off and rest within the game.
After all, with his current physical condition, he would probably feel just as exhausted if he returned to reality.
Eddie had experienced this when he used Z-Moves in Lavender Town. When he tried to log off to avoid the exhausted state, he found that he was still in a state of exhaustion when he exited the game.
It seemed that the Pokémon world was beginning to affect the real world, but he didn't know whether he was the only one affected in advance, or if other players were also experiencing this.
Eddie didn't know, but he didn't particularly care. He figured he was exhausted everywhere, so he might as well rest in this luxurious room.
However, just as Eddie was about to turn off the lights and rest...
"Knock~~~"
"Eddie, are you still awake?"
