----------
After a while, Marcus left the Pokemon Center, a look of lingering fear on his face...
"This Nurse Joy is a bit too enthusiastic..." He commented, his mouth twitching slightly.
He hadn't expected that Pokeblocks with specific cultivation functions would be particularly popular on the market. Ordinary stamina Pokeblocks could only sell for 500 PD each, but those that increased both attacks and speed went for 1000 PD, and those that increased both defenses were 800 PD.
In this wave, Marcus directly received around 250,000 PD from Nurse Joy, bringing his total assets to 300,000 PD.
After purchasing a batch of Berries, he held Smoliv and opened the cultivation System:
[Ding, cultivation target is Smoliv, analyzing...]
Analysis of strengths and weaknesses: Exceptionally talented, a one-in-ten-thousand individual within the species. Recognition from the trainer stems from environmentally friendly behavior, please be mindful of this. Moves are comprehensive but proficiency is low. Upon evolution, she will gain more powerful abilities.
Summary: A little fellow with extraordinary talent. It is recommended to invest resources to quickly evolve her to her final form.
[Ding, diagnosis complete. Please confirm whether to generate a cultivation plan...]
"Yes!"
[Ding, consuming 100,000 PD, a short-term cultivation plan for Smoliv has been generated. Please check...]
[Smoliv Initial Cultivation Plan]
Level up and Evolve: Rapidly accumulate experience through cultivation and extensive combat training to reach the final form.
Key to Evolution: Strong sunlight and a dry climate. The seed on top of Smoliv's head will only grow and split after being exposed to sunlight for a sufficient duration, thus evolving into her second form, Dolliv.
Affection Cultivation: Actively participating in various environmental protection activities can effectively increase Smoliv's recognition and sense of responsibility.

After reading it all in one go, Marcus couldn't help but marvel at the System's power.
Others had to torment their Pokemon to death to train a move, but for him, he just had to watch TV shows, sing songs, and play games...
It was simply too easy!
Without another word, Marcus directly recalled two into their Poke Ball and went back to his room to lie down.
He hadn't used the two hours of dream time today yet.
After exploring for the past few days, he learned that Pokemon arrive here via Teleport, meaning their actual bodies come in, not just their consciousness.
This also ensures the effectiveness of training during simulated battles.
As soon as they arrived, Buneary, being familiar with the process, turned on the console and sat in the gaming chair.
This little rabbit had recently become obsessed with a romantic soap opera and was watching it with great enthusiasm...
Marcus didn't interfere much; after all, it seemed like entertainment was just another way to get stronger here...
"Smoliv~" Smoliv tilted her head and looked at Buneary, then followed suit and jumped onto the gaming chair.
Marcus was about to instruct Smoliv to start training by playing games, and then... he was dumbfounded.
Smoliv, she didn't have hands...
How... how the heck was she supposed to play games?!!
The little fellow was still in her seed form; she would only grow branch-like arms when she evolved into her second form, Dolliv...
"Smoliv?" Smoliv hopped twice, looking at the screen with some anticipation.
Marcus had no choice but to open the Dragon Ball anime for her, specifically the parts with the Spirit Bomb, and had her watch.
Playing games would just have to wait until after she evolved...
After arranging for Smoliv to watch and learn properly, Marcus took Buneary to the adjacent simulated battle arena.
"System, start battle matching!"
[Ding, matching complete. This battle's opponent: Chimchar lv20. Judged as an over-level battle. Extra rewards will be granted upon victory!]
The orange-red little fellow with flames on its backside appeared out of thin air, then curiously looked around the space. Behind it was a blurry black figure.
Marcus was momentarily stunned, not expecting this opponent to be level 20.
"Buneary, stay focused, the opponent is strong!"
"Chimchar, Flame Wheel!" The opponent started with a strong attack. Chimchar spat out a ball of flames that completely enveloped itself, forming a rolling wheel of fire that charged forward!
Marcus raised his eyelids: "Quick Attack to dodge, then use Baby-Doll Eyes!"
Buneary gave a wink, and pink heart energy floated out. A light indicating a decrease in physical attack flashed on Chimchar.
Baby-Doll Eyes: Stares at the target with an endearing look, lowering the target's Attack stat by 1 stage.
Buneary had learned this move by watching the female lead in the soap opera... She usually used it to ask Marcus for treats.
"Hmph... Use Taunt!" The opponent snorted in dissatisfaction. Chimchar hooked a finger at Buneary and made a face.
Taunt: Forces the target to use only attack moves for a period of time, a soft control move similar to Encore.
Marcus smiled slightly: "Then let's play along. Charge forward, Power-Up Punch!"
"Buneary~!" Buneary showed a cute expression, seemingly looking forward to the close-quarters combat. She closed the distance to her opponent in a few hops.
"Flame Wheel!" The opponent didn't seem worried about their reduced attack power and chose to directly clash.
"Whoosh!"
Chimchar once again transformed into a Flame Wheel and rolled forward, about to collide with Buneary.
Marcus gave the command at the right time: "Change speed!"
"Buneary!" Buneary bent her left lower leg, instantly slowing down. Then she stomped the ground with her right leg, instantly moving to the side of the Flame Wheel. The next moment, her two rabbit ears swung out with heavy punches!
