"Hiss~ What is this?"
Seeing the changes before him, David got so excited he almost sat straight up in bed.
When he had received rewards before, they had never been this flashy!
How did a cutscene even appear? It was like a lottery draw. Could it be that the system had secretly updated without him knowing?
While David was still trying to figure it out, the light on the screen in front of him faded away, and the system's voice followed immediately afterward.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining—Pokémon Attribute Enhancement Pack × 1, Incomplete Ancient Secret Manual · (Strong), Special Item Summoning Ticket × 3."
The moment the rewards appeared on screen, David's eyes lit up as he glanced through them.
"Incomplete Ancient Secret Manual · (Strong): A special Pokémon technique passed down from the ancient Sinnoh region (Hisui region). The complete manual consists of two parts: the Strong Scroll and the Agile Scroll... Strong Scroll: Pokémon that learn this technique can choose to decrease their attack speed when unleashing moves to increase the power of the move..."
This was truly like someone offering a pillow when he was sleepy! He had obtained the Agile manual several months ago.
After using it for such a long time, David was already well aware of how much the Agile moves boosted a Pokémon's combat power in battle.
He had been worried about how he could collect the complete set of this manual, which originated from the ancient Hisui era!
He hadn't expected today's reward settlement to give him such a big surprise.
Quickly materializing the manual in his hand, David gently ran his fingers across the pages. Just like the previous Agile manual, it was made of some unknown animal hide material.
That made sense. For a manual from ten thousand years ago, using this material wasn't out of place.
He didn't even need to look closely—just its presence exuded an ancient aura.
However, David suddenly felt a bit annoyed with himself. An A+ level reward was already so incredible. If he had pushed himself harder and achieved an S-rank evaluation, then... Forget it, it was too late to talk about that now. He would just have to work harder next time! For now, he would continue examining his current gains.
Placing the manual aside carefully, David looked at the other rewards again.
Pokémon Attribute Enhancement Pack? This seemed to be the first time he had seen this item.
"Pokémon Attribute Enhancement Pack (Six Doses): An enhancement potion from a special organization. After consumption, it can significantly increase a Pokémon's energy intensity for its own attributes. (Note: This potion is a product of genetic experiments. Using it may result in genetic collapse. Please use with caution. A Pokémon can only consume one dose at most.)"
At first, when David saw that this enhancement potion could boost attribute energy, he was quite happy.
But when he saw the consequences listed in the description, he was immediately taken aback.
"Damn it! What kind of evil organization made this?! It can cause a Pokémon's genes to directly collapse? With consequences like that, even if it's just a possibility, only a ghost would feed this to their Pokémon."
Too annoyed to even look at the item again, David grumbled and directly stuffed it into a corner of the system warehouse to gather dust.
Calming himself down, David looked at the final reward—three Special Item Summoning Tickets.
"This isn't bad at all!"
Looking at the three summoning tickets before him, a slight smile finally appeared on David's face.
During the summer vacation, he had once used one of these summoning tickets to single-pull a treasured abyssal fishing rod.
Over the past half-semester, he had gradually accumulated quite a few summoning tickets. With these three, he now had exactly ten—enough for a free ten-pull.
"System, perform a ten-pull with the summoning tickets."
With that, David no longer hesitated and directly chose to pull.
"Ding~ Detecting Host's command... Detecting Host's command... Summoning Ticket × 10 pull in progress."
As the system announced this, the previously calm screen changed again.
The familiar shooting stars once again streaked across the screen, and David's heart rose to his throat as he watched.
White, green, blue. David stared intently at the screen until the moment purple appeared. Finally, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately—it didn't turn out bad.
After the light dissipated completely, David checked the results of this pull: one purple, two blue, four green, and four white (a ten-pull gets one extra draw as a bonus).
"Phew~"
He couldn't say it was great, but at least there was one purple item. David didn't know if the summoning tickets had a guaranteed pull mechanic. A purple item was good enough for him.
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining..."
"Classic Poké Ball × 4"
"Star Piece × 1"
"Classic Protagonist Hat (Ash's style) × 1"
"Odd Incense × 1"
"Damaged Bicycle (faint scorch marks from lightning remain on it) × 1"
"Super Glove × 1 (There seems to be a space on the back of the glove where something can be embedded)"
"Collectible Bottle Cap × 3"
David first put aside the white miscellaneous items and then examined the valuable items in descending order of rarity.
First, the only purple item.
"Odd Incense! Wait, it seems there's another use for this."
David looked at the purple incense in his hand and thought to himself.
"Odd Incense: When held by a Pokémon, it increases the power of Psychic-type moves. When lit in a special way, it can slightly enhance a Pokémon's Psychic talent..."
No doubt about it—this was perfect for Kirlia. He continued looking through the items.
Wait, this hat could also be considered a rare item?
David looked at the hat in his hand with a puzzled expression.
"Classic Protagonist Hat (Ash's style): A hat symbolizing the protagonist's aura. Wearing it makes you the true protagonist. Note: When wearing the hat, the success rate of using 'Quickly Dodge,' 'Hold On,' and 'Get Up' increases by twenty percent."
When he saw the effect description, David finally understood why this hat was rated blue by the system.
A divine artifact! With these attributes, even a purple rating wouldn't be an exaggeration.
The other blue item, the Super Glove, was similar in quality.
"Super Glove: When a Mega Stone is installed, performing Mega Evolution while wearing the Super Glove saves the wearer twenty percent of their stamina consumption."
After taking inventory of the three most valuable items, there was no need to examine the rest in detail.
What about those rare bottle caps? Could these be Jessie and James's stuff? And what about the bicycle that was used as a stepping stone? Could that be Misty's original one from when she first met Ash?
If they were truly the originals, if there were a Holy Grail War in the world of Pokémon, they might actually be able to summon their original owners.
In short, David crammed all of them into the system space regardless. Anyway, the system's space was large enough, and who knew when these things might become useful again in the future.
After organizing all his gains from the summoning session, David could finally get some peaceful sleep.
