[Ding, Master Dream Box opened. You can choose a special method from the training plan for cultivation or simulated combat. Cost: 10,000 PD per hour!]
Marcus:...
As expected, I was happy too early!
This System is just like a wicked capitalist...
Fortunately, Marcus still had a good amount of savings, so he'd try it for two hours first.
Sitting in front of the computer desk, Marcus had a rare sense of déjà vu, like going to an internet cafe in his previous life. It felt like he had saved a few dollars by pinching pennies, and then went to the internet cafe: "Net manager, open a machine for me for two hours..."
"Buneary?" Buneary was also placed on the gaming chair, looking at the strange-shaped machine in front of her, feeling a bit confused.
"Buneary, you have to watch carefully and learn well from now on~" Marcus adjusted his chair, pushed it to the desk, selected League of Legends, and opened it!
Then the mouse and keyboard transformed into a mode suitable for her, with large keys that were usable even if her fingers weren't nimble enough.
"Buneary~!" Seeing the screen, Buneary felt very curious.
"Let's try Neeko first..."
Under Marcus's guidance, Buneary began to control Neeko to transform into various forms, like minions, heroes, etc., but it was limited to that.
Naturally, this game was lost under Neeko's 'strolling'.
"Damn, what kind of noob is this Neeko? If I sprinkled some rice on the keyboard, it would have better combo then you!"
"Honestly, it feels like an actor!"
"You're probably knocked out cold... where would there be actors in matchmaking..."
The moment the base exploded, the teammates started their usual routine of blaming each other and complaining, while Marcus smiled maliciously.
After all, it was already difficult for Buneary to understand his meaning, and using skills was just random button mashing... It would be a miracle if they won.
Marcus opened a bottle of happy water and chugged it down. Don't even mention it, guiding a Pokemon to play games was quite tiring...
Just then, he heard the System's prompt:
[Ding, Buneary has completed training, Mimic move proficiency has increased to 'Mastered'!]
"Pfft!" Marcus spat out a mouthful of cola. This, this, this actually worked?!
He checked the time and only 30 minutes had passed, meaning he only spent 5000 PD to increase Buneary's move proficiency?
Is it that simple??
"Indeed, having a System means you can do whatever you want..."
Marcus was greatly encouraged and immediately rewarded the little rabbit with a Pecha Berry candy.
"Buneary~ (Thank you Marcus~)" Although she didn't know why he was so happy, Buneary said the Pecha Berry candy was delicious...
Afterward, Marcus had Buneary play another round of Neeko. Mimic's proficiency increased again, but it didn't reach the expert level. It seemed to require more practice.
After experiencing it, an hour had also passed, and the System's prompt sounded again:
[Ding, Host has stayed in the Dream Space for 1 hour. Remaining experience time today is 1 hour...]
"This thing has a time limit too..." Marcus pouted. This feeling was like being told there was no balance left while surfing the internet at an internet cafe...
Picking up Buneary, Marcus went to the next room.
This was a spacious training ground, specifically for training and battles.
"System, start simulated combat!"
[Ding, simulated combat practice begins. Automatically matched with beginner challenge level, random opponent searching... Match complete, opponent for this battle: Rattata lv14, battle start!]
The next moment, a purple little mouse appeared in the battle arena, with a mysterious black figure behind it, like its Trainer.
"Buneary, get ready to battle!"
"Buneary!" The little rabbit didn't forget that she still needed to become stronger, and her expression immediately became serious.
"Rattata, use Screech!" The opposing Trainer attacked first.
Screech: Lowers the opponent's Defense stat by 2 stages.
Rattata began to grind his teeth, making a sharp and piercing sound.
Using the System to see the opponent's move pool, Marcus frowned: "Buneary, Mimic!"
"Buneary!" The little rabbit endured the opponent's noise and also let out a sharp cry, but this Screech had a cute feeling to it...
Both bodies showed the light of decreased Defense, and Marcus also became nervous. There was a very terrifying combo in the opponent's move pool...
"Buneary, use Teeter Dance!"
Teeter Dance: Performs a confusing dance that makes all Pokemon in the vicinity confused.
"Buneary~!" The little rabbit started to sway with somewhat clumsy steps.
"Rattata, Quick Attack to interrupt!"
"Use Baby-Doll Eyes to interfere with him!"
Marcus's speaking speed was very fast, almost simultaneously giving commands with the opponent!
Quick Attack and Baby-Doll Eyes are both priority moves. The difference is that one needs to run over, while the other only needs to use gaze for a mental impact, lowering the opponent's Attack by 1 stage. Normally, it can be used first.
Furthermore, according to Norman, in real battles, attacks like Baby-Doll Eyes, Growl, and Screech have a certain disruptive effect on the opponent, so Marcus was also gambling that Baby-Doll Eyes could effectively disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm.
However, the clumsy little rabbit couldn't adjust from the Teeter Dance steps in time and stumbled to the ground.
But even so, she still insisted on executing Marcus's command, and when Quick Attack was halfway through its charge, she sent out a cute gaze.
Rattata's body lit up with the light of decreased Attack, and Quick Attack successfully hit, knocking Buneary away.
"Buneary, use Mimic!"
"Use Hone Claws!"
Hone Claws: Sharpens its claws. After use, Attack and accuracy are raised by 1 stage.
The black figure Trainer firmly controlled the rhythm, not giving Marcus any chance to breathe, but Marcus had already given the command first.
And this time, she Mimicked the Quick Attack that Rattata had just used!
"Swish——"
The little rabbit's speed was already not slow, and with the boost of Quick Attack, she directly interrupted Hone Claws!
"Just use... Last Resort!!" The opponent seemed a bit anxious and directly revealed his trump card.
Last Resort: A Normal-type ultimate move with 140 power, can only be used after using its other 3 moves.
Marcus smiled slightly: "You don't have a chance anymore... Seismic Toss him to the ground, finish him!"
"Buneary!" The little rabbit had good battle sense. She clamped Rattata with her two ears, threw him up, and smashed him down with a punch. Rattata fell to the ground, unable to get up.
[Ding, successfully challenged above your level, gained 1 Physical Attack Talent Value!]
"..." The black figure was silent. He seemed unable to accept this result.
"Hey... if I were you, I would have chosen a brawling style using Quick Attack followed by Bite. After all, Rattata's level is higher...
Using Hone Claws one more time seems to increase the chance of a one-hit KO, but it also gives me a chance to breathe..."
"Or perhaps, it might have been better if you hadn't used Quick Attack at the beginning..."
