159 Thunder Ninjutsu! Vientiane Tianyin and the Heart of the Brave
Qin Yun didn't immediately use the newly acquired ability on Pikachu. It wasn't the right time yet; he still had to analyze the rest of his options.
If the second team starts training too early, it might split resources and energy, weakening the first team's development. Qin Yun dismissed the thought and focused on strengthening his core lineup.
Without hesitation, he used the refresh card.
When the results appeared, Qin Yun was momentarily speechless, it resembled a Fire-type move scroll.
"Pokémon must be cultivated early; otherwise, their growth curve will lag behind."
Another useful item!
The technique, when activated, pulls a designated target towards the user with adjustable force and precision.
However, these details weren't Qin Yun's immediate concern. Strengthening Pikachu was only a matter of time.
Speaking of Electric-type techniques, Qin Yun's mind drifted to Sasuke Uchiha, who mastered Chidori under Kakashi's guidance and developed numerous powerful variations.
The issue, however, was Pikachu's current level these advanced jutsu might be beyond his capabilities for now.
Heracross, who had been resting, was called out by Qin Yun, looking at him with confusion.
"If I faced Zhu Lin again, my Gardevoir alone could handle her lead Pokémon."
1. Attraction: Pulls the opponent close, forcing them into a vulnerable position for a decisive strike.
Some trainers were naturally gifted and backed by strong families.
"However, Thunder-based techniques in the system store include S-rank moves and quite a few at that."
For a power-seeking Pokémon like Heracross, the new item was a perfect fit.
"My current six Pokémon are set. The next step is strengthening them instead of adding new ones."
[Congratulations! The host has obtained B-rank Thunder Ninjutsu – Thunder Clone.]
Heracross's original stats skyrocketed after equipping the new item.
"Exchange them all. One good item is all I need!"
[Overall Combat Rating: 54502 (A+)]
[:16916]
With ten new Thunder-based techniques, Pikachu's strength was about to surge.
Heracross examined the Heart of the Brave and nodded in approval, it seemed to suit his battle instincts perfectly.
Pikachu's potential was exceptional. Becoming stronger was just a matter of time.
[Vientiane Tianyin: Costs 36,000 points. This ability originates from the Rinnegan in Naruto: Blaze Ninja and its derivative works.]
The current team was approaching Elite-level status.
One of his rivals, Zhu Lin, had started developing her second team three years ago. It took a significant effort to raise two Pro-level Pokémon, while the remaining four reached Elite-level.
Additionally, this technique not only draws the opponent in it can also relocate designated objects at the user's will.
[Speed: 12619]
[Speed: 10095]
[6000 points deducted. Exchange successful.]
"Excellent! With just a little more development, I can push my attack power past 20,000."
[HP: 8803]
Qin Yun still had 800,000 points, more than enough to fuel his plans.
Gardevoir's combat abilities were remarkable—she could even challenge Pokémon with a combat power of 160,000.
[Strength: Late Elite]
With the right training, Pikachu would become a true force.
"Next item."
"So it's Vientiane Tianyin. Now my Gardevoir possesses both Shinra Tensei and Vientiane Tianyin!"
Among the four items, only the first consumed a major chunk of points. The other three combined only cost 22,000 points.
[Physical Defense: 7073]
If Qin Yun had started training his second team earlier, they might all be Pro-level by now.
Qin Yun's powerful items ensured that even without Mega Evolution, his Pokémon had an edge over others.
The special medicine that boosts special attack was a must-have.
With six fully trained Pokémon, he would have a major advantage in Elite-level battles, especially in his freshman year.
His second team also had key players, providing flexibility in different battle scenarios.
[Physical Defense: 6365]
At this stage, his six Pokémon weren't entirely locked in—some could be replaced if necessary.
[Congratulations! The host has obtained A-rank Thunder Ninjutsu – Lightning Armor.]
Gym leaders were incredibly strong, yet their second teams often lagged behind. This was due to late-stage development issues.
"Buy."
Qin Yun examined the Heart of the Brave, considering equipping it on Heracross.
However, with access to the system store, Qin Yun could grant Pokémon exceptional abilities.
[Random Thunder Ninjutsu Scroll: 1200 points each. Grants a random Thunder Ninjutsu when used. Quantity: 5.]
Qin Yun's eyes brightened at the second item.
[Special Attack Enhancing Medicine: 200 points per unit. Increases special attack based on Pokémon potential. Quantity: 50.]
The Heart of the Brave was a unique item.
While having more Pokémon was advantageous, spreading focus too thin could weaken overall progress.
Zhu Lin, for example, had only one Elite-level Pokémon, with the rest ranging between Level 1 and Level 3 Professional.
As a result, her performance in pre-university exams had suffered.
Qin Yun remained open to capturing and training new Pokémon if he encountered exceptional ones.
His eyes gleamed as he unrolled the newly acquired Thunder Ninjutsu scrolls.
Qin Yun's luck was clearly improving compared to when he drew Fire-type moves.
He wasn't overly fixated on drawing rare items—it wasn't realistic to expect too much at once.
Moreover, Mega Evolution Stones posed a unique challenge—they prevented Pokémon from equipping other items when carried. This was a dilemma Qin Yun had yet to solve.
Qin Yun suddenly laughed.
Most trainers raised six Pokémon before college.
Excitedly, he examined the first revealed item.
The downside was Heracross's reduced defense, making him more fragile.
To reach pseudo-S rank, a combat score of 55,900 was needed—not an easy feat.
[Refresh successful.]
Qin Yun prepared to swap out items from his inventory.
Resources had to be managed efficiently, being reserved for critical moments.
"Focusing solely on offense while neglecting defense?"
Qin Yun wasn't concerned.
"Pikachu, you're lucky—you'll soon master ten powerful ninjutsu techniques."
2. Control: Can manipulate objects or people mid-air, similar to how Pain lifted Naruto or slammed Hinata into the ground.
"Let's try out this new item."
Heracross had extreme offensive specialization—maximizing attack stats was key.
Even a small increase in combat rating mattered in the long run.
"Not bad!"
His rank remained A+, not quite reaching pseudo-S.
Older Pokémon weren't discarded but retained as reserves.
If he collected multiple Heart of the Brave items, they could be combined into Heart of the True Brave, doubling their effects.
[Pokémon: Heracross]
The two first-tier Pro Pokémon had been trained early, making their progression smoother.
Three A-rank techniques and one S-rank—his luck was off the charts.
[Congratulations! The host has obtained A-rank Thunder Ninjutsu – Chidori.]
"Buying this too."
[Congratulations! The host has obtained S-rank Thunder Ninjutsu – Raikiri.]
"This is incredible…"
With abundant resources, Qin Yun had no trouble managing multiple teams.
"The third item."
For Pokémon trainers, having more powerful Pokémon was always beneficial.
The system store refreshed instantly.
[Special Defense: 7313]
[Special Attack: 2486]
Strong Pokémon could be added to his roster if the opportunity arose.
[Special Defense: 8126]
"The only downside is how long it'll take to obtain Heracross's Mega Evolution."
Evolution Key Stones and Mega Stones were notoriously difficult to obtain.
"Use another refresh card."
