Pokemon: Hundredfold Power Surge

025 Eye-Catching Merchandise, Suitable for Pokémon's Fairy Mode

[Ding! The system store has been successfully activated due to the host's first participation in the Pokémon Battle Hall. Completing battles and fulfilling system-assigned tasks will grant system points. Additionally, real-world resources can be converted into points for purchasing items in the store.]

[Current Store Level: 1]

Available Product Slots: 3 (Refreshes at midnight daily)

Note: One item can be "Locked" to prevent removal upon refresh, up to a maximum of seven times per item.

At that moment, three items appeared in the system store interface before Qin Yun's eyes.

[Modified Immortal Mode] – Limited-time offer, 3,000 points!

> Derived from the Fairy Mode of the Blaise Region, this technique has been systematically adapted for Pokémon use. When activated, it drastically enhances a Pokémon's Speed, Attack, and Defense. (Note: Best suited for Grass-type Pokémon.)

[Charcoal] – 500 points

> Boosts the power of Fire-type moves by 20% when held by a Pokémon.

[Leftovers] – 800 points

> Allows the holder to gradually restore HP during battle.

Qin Yun's eyes lit up. While Charcoal and Leftovers were undoubtedly valuable, they weren't his priority at the moment. What truly captured his attention was the Modified Immortal Mode. If Fomantis could master it, it would greatly compensate for its Species Strength limitations, allowing it to develop into a formidable fighter.

"I have to get this!" Qin Yun clenched his fists.

But then, a problem arose 3,000 points was no small amount.

"How do I earn that much?"

Qin Yun tapped on the conversion function in the system store. A list appeared, detailing how real-world resources could be exchanged for system points.

"I'll analyze this later. Right now, I need to focus on the battle."

He withdrew his gaze from the interface, returning his attention to the battlefield, where countless spectators were watching him intently.

Victory and Next Steps

"The match is over. Geodude is unable to battle. Fomantis wins!"

The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium.

"Player Liu Qin, will you be sending out your second Pokémon?"

Liu Qin hesitated. He still had another Pokémon, but it was one he hadn't trained extensively. Facing Fomantis, it stood no chance.

"I… I concede."

The crowd erupted in murmurs. It was rare for a trainer to concede so quickly, but given Fomantis' overwhelming advantage, it was the logical choice.

[Ding! Victory achieved. Earned 20 points.]

[Note: Points are awarded based on opponent strength, match viewership, and battle influence.]

"Only 20 points… That's not nearly enough," Qin Yun thought, slightly disappointed.

Liu Qin approached him, his expression serious. "Your strength is really impressive. But I won't lose to you next time."

Qin Yun extended a hand, and they shook a sign of respect in Pokémon battles, symbolizing sportsmanship beyond victory and defeat.

"Looking forward to your growth."

With that, Qin Yun returned to his designated corner, planning to further analyze the system store's conversion rates.

System Conversion and the Road to Immortal Mode

Back at his seat, Qin Yun delved into the conversion mechanics.

The exchange rate was brutal: 10,000 Pokémon Dollars = 1 system point.

This meant that earning 3,000 points for Immortal Mode would require resources worth 30 million Pokémon Dollars.

"That's insane…" Qin Yun muttered. He had started with 21 million Pokémon Dollars, but after his expenses over the past few days, he was left with around 10 million.

"I thought I was rich, but I can't even afford a daily store refresh…"

Still, all hope wasn't lost.

His Hundredfold Reward Increase System meant that if he could obtain just 100,000 Pokémon Dollars as a reward, it would be multiplied significantly, bringing him closer to his goal.

"Winning this tournament is crucial."

As the next battles unfolded, the quarterfinalists of Group Six were decided in just over an hour.

Qin Yun paid close attention. Among the remaining contestants, one opponent stood out the Nidoqueen Trainer.

She had the late-stage Beginner-level strength, making her a formidable rival.

"She's the one to watch," Qin Yun noted.

Tournament Progress and Second-Round Victory

With the quarterfinals about to begin, the tournament rules were outlined:

The top four from each group would advance to a round-robin battle.

Each trainer would face the other three competitors.

Win = +2 points | Loss = -1 point | Tie = 0 points

The top sixteen trainers from the round-robin phase would qualify for the finals.

Qin Yun's second match was up, and his opponent was a trainer named Stephanie.

Her Pokémon? Oddish (Beginner-Level, Mid-Tier Strength).

Not a bad opponent—but against Fomantis, it was an easy win.

[Ding! Victory achieved. Earned 20 points.]

Total system points: 2,070.

"Still 930 points to go…" Qin Yun sighed.

At this rate, he needed several more victories before he could afford Immortal Mode.

"I need a high-reward match soon."

Meanwhile, the semi-finals of Group Six were underway. These battles were more intense, as losing here meant immediate elimination.

Each trainer was among the best in their school or local league, and none wanted to back down.

Qin Yun watched the battles unfold, maintaining his composure.

Meanwhile: A Mysterious Search for Qin Yun

At Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, a young woman Ripple was searching for someone.

"Wait… What did you say?" she asked, a hint of disbelief in her voice. "There's no Qin Yun enrolled here?"

Ripple had specifically come to the school after seeing something unusual earlier a familiar face that triggered a memory.

She had a connection to Jiang University's Rocket Class, and after speaking with the homeroom teacher (her senior at university), she was met with a surprising answer.

Qin Yun wasn't listed anywhere.

"So he lied to me?" Ripple narrowed her eyes.

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door.

"Professor."

A soft, melodic voice carried through the room.

The teacher turned toward the door. "Ah, May, come in!"
