At night, due to safety and accommodation concerns, Jacob followed Aris back to the Lin family home.

Scott and Jude, who hadn't seen their grandson for a long time, also stayed up all night waiting for the two to return. When they saw Jacob coming back, their eyes were full of worry. They pulled Jacob aside to ask him all sorts of questions and didn't return to their rooms to rest until half an hour later.

After eating something, Jacob returned to his room, lay on the bed, and first unpacked the two Mega Evolution stones he had bought online. From their appearance, one of the two Mega Evolution stones was Houndoom's Mega Stone, and the other was Pidgeot's Mega Stone.

This result made Jacob feel somewhat disappointed. The Charizard Evolution Stone that he had been longing for was still missing, and now that there was an additional Bagon, he also needed to collect Salamence's Mega Stone.

Jacob continued posting messages online to purchase stones and increased his offering price. He believed that there would always be brave souls willing to take risks for a substantial reward, and there would always be some adventurers who would find the Mega Evolution stones he needed.

After doing all this, Jacob finally had time to check the two missions in the system.

The first mission was obviously designed to make Jacob focus solely on becoming a Dragon Master. Given the system's nature, this mission was quite restrictive.

The second mission was more reasonable. Although it required collecting all eighteen types, it was much easier than the first one.

Which mission should he choose? Jacob thought, stroking his chin.

It would be nice if he could see the rewards for each branch mission, Jacob thought secretly.

After pondering for a moment, Jacob finally chose the second mission directly, mainly for the following three reasons.

The first reason was that the All-Type Master quest had no restrictions on which Pokémon could be captured, which also avoided situations where Jacob encountered a powerful Pokémon but couldn't capture it due to type limitations. For example, if there were no restrictions in the Dragon Master quest, Jacob could have captured cottonee directly for himself instead of giving it away. A Prankster ability Whimsicott was crucial for strengthening Jacob's team.

Currently, Jacob's team had physical attackers like Bagon and Axew, special attackers like Charizard and Noibat. Dreepy and Sceptile were considered mixed attackers.

The offensive power was sufficient, but there was no dedicated physical wall or special wall, and the only support Pokémon was Noibat. If Jacob continued capturing only Dragon-type Pokémon, there would be major problems in team construction. Everyone on the team would be a main attacker—who would provide support?

The second reason was that pure Dragon-type Pokémon had too many limitations in battle, especially in the College Cup. If Jacob encountered a trainer who specialized in Fairy-type Pokémon, he wouldn't have any means of counterattack. He hadn't obtained either Dialga or Naganadel yet. Without the coverage of Steel and Poison types, it would be really difficult for him to deal with Fairy-type Pokémon.

And everyone knew that Fairy-type was the second most popular type in competitive battles after Steel-type.

The last and most crucial point was that Jacob himself was a devoted fan of Steel-type Pokémon. If it weren't for the system's restrictions, he would definitely become a Steel-type Pokémon trainer. Now he finally had the opportunity to return to the embrace of Steel-type Pokémon—how could he let this chance slip away?

Metagross, the steel behemoth, was back again! He had been forced to abandon Steel-types before due to circumstances, but now he was carrying six Dragon-type Pokémon. The God of War had returned, and it was time for Steel-types to help him deal with Fairy Pokémon!

With this in mind, Jacob decisively chose Mission 2!

"Choose mission branch 2: All-Type Master, and receive the reward [Universal Tera Crystal Fragments] x50 pieces."

[Universal Tera Crystal Fragments]: After collecting 50 Universal Tera Crystal Fragments, you can convert any Pokémon's Tera Type to any desired type.

"Unlock new system function: view Pokémon Tera Type attributes."

"All-Type Master current mission progress: 5/18."

"Quest progress reward: Collect all 6 types of Pokémon and receive a Self-Charging Tera Orb."

[Tera Orb]: Can Terastallize a Pokémon. Needs to be recharged or automatically recharges after 12 hours following each use.

"Collect all 12 types of Pokémon and receive the move learning machine Tera Blast and a certain number of Universal Tera Crystal Fragments (enough for each Pokémon to undergo one Tera Type conversion)."

[Tera Blast]: Normally a Special move. When used by a Terastallized Pokémon, Tera Blast changes to the same type as the Pokémon's Tera Type, and deals damage based on whichever is higher between the Pokémon's Attack and Special Attack stats. That is, a special attacker deals special damage, and a physical attacker deals physical damage.

"Collect all 18 types of Pokémon, reward: ???"

Jacob looked at the numerous rewards and felt for the first time that this system was unusually generous. Not to mention being directly rewarded with 50 Universal Tera Crystal Fragments upon selecting the mission, even the reward of collecting the Tera Orb with 6 types was incredibly generous.

Of course, the rewards for collecting Pokémon of 12 types were also quite luxurious. Jacob rarely gave the system a thumbs up. The system finally acted reasonably.

Striking while the iron was hot, Jacob checked the status panels of his six Pokémon. Among them, Noibat's potential had improved to Champion level, and its Tera Type was Flying-type.

The Tera Type was an attribute independent of a Pokémon's natural types.

For example, Noibat's types were Flying and Dragon, and its Tera Type was Flying.

After Terastallizing, Noibat's defensive calculations would be based on single-type Flying, meaning its 4x weakness to Ice would become a 2x weakness to Ice. On the offensive side, there would be no changes to Dragon-type moves used by Noibat—it would still enjoy STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) and deal 1.5x damage. However, when using Flying-type moves, the STAB power would increase, changing from 1.5x damage to 2x damage.

Sceptile's potential had been upgraded to Master level, and its Tera Type was Grass.

Noibat's potential had been upgraded to Champion level, and its Tera Type was Flying.

Charmeleon's potential had been upgraded to Master level, and its Tera Type was Fire.

Dreepy's potential had been upgraded to Master level, and its Tera Type was Dragon.

Axew's potential had been upgraded to Master level, and its Tera Type was Dragon.

Bagon's potential had been upgraded to Champion level, and its Tera Type was Dragon.

[Bagon]

Tera Type: Dragon

After Jacob reviewed all his Pokémon's panels, he began thinking about who should receive the precious Universal Tera Crystal Fragment.

First of all, it wasn't difficult to see that each of Jacob's Pokémon had a Tera Type matching their primary type, and Terastallization had two main effects.

One was avoiding weaknesses through Terastallization. For example, if you changed Noibat's Tera Type to Steel, its original 4x weakness to Ice would disappear.

The second was increasing damage through Terastallization. For example, if you changed Noibat's Tera Type to Normal, when it used the Normal-type special move Boomburst with a base power of 140, it would enjoy a 1.5x STAB damage bonus, making the power effectively 210.

Jacob thought about it, and after considering for a long time, he decided to give this first Universal Tera Crystal Fragment to Noibat, because Noibat was currently his team's weak link. Since there was an opportunity to strengthen it, he naturally strengthened Noibat without hesitation and changed Noibat's Tera Type to Normal-type.

After doing all this, Jacob lay on the bed, thinking that he had finally collected six Dragon-type Pokémon. He couldn't help but feel excited and began imagining his bright future.

Metagross, Scizor, Lucario, Duraludon, and Klefki—here I come...
