Pokemon Battle System: I Reincarnated As A Charmander

In the system space, Lian examined today's battle data. He remained at level 18 with no significant changes.

Charmeleon

Gender: ♂

Type: Fire

Level: Lv.18

Ability: Solar Power (Switchable) / Blaze

Moves: Growl, Scratch, Ember, Smokescreen, Dragon Breath, Dragon Rage, Swift, Fire Fang, Hidden Power Rock/Ice...

Abilities: Stamina 489, Attack 450, Defense 428, Special Attack 651, Special Defense 453, Speed 651

Explosive Power: 1.2 (+)

Lian's current Special Attack attribute had reached 651, which was remarkably impressive. Compared to Grovyle's current Special Attack, it was over two hundred points higher; Grovyle's Special Attack ability value stood at only 394.

Today's battle was incredibly intense. The Gligar not only had a high level of 27 but also boasted a speed ability value of 590. Although slower than Lian, it wasn't significantly behind.

Gligar's attack ability value surpassed five hundred as well. If during that fight, Lian had been hit by Gligar's Acrobatics move, considering the type advantage bonus, he likely would have suffered defeat much earlier.

Next, Lian examined Fearow's stats. The Fearow was also Level 26, with its speed surpassing six hundred but still not overtaking Lian. Additionally, Fearow had a higher attack ability value than Gligar, reaching 596 points. With such an attack capability, if that final Drill Run move had connected, it would have been game over for Lian.

After reviewing the combat data, Lian turned his attention to today's battle rating, revealing a look of ecstatic surprise. Today's score far exceeded previous ratings, achieving an unimaginably high level.

Battle Rating: S-

Level Difference Bonus: +107

Racial Difference Penalty: -1

Ability Difference Bonus: +129

Output Difference Bonus: +10,237

Output:

Charmeleon: (10,580)

Grovyle: (0)

Gligar: (203)

Fearow: (0)

Combat Value Reward: +10,472

Total Combat Value: 13,032

Lian noticed his output reward astonishingly reached over ten thousand Combat Points, propelling his total Combat Value to thirteen thousand overnight—a sudden windfall!

The exceptionally high output reward stemmed from Gligar frequently using Roost during the battle. Thanks to Lian's deliberate guidance, Gligar utilized Roost at least twenty times, each instance restoring half of its Stamina.

Lian couldn't contain his delight as he gazed at the 13,000 Combat Points total. It was exhilarating to earn over ten thousand points from just one evaluation.

He clicked on the detailed output data and found that Lian had used Dragon Rage twenty-five times before finally depleting Gligar's Stamina. Meanwhile, Gligar utilized Roost more than twenty times throughout the battle.

With Gligar's Stamina value of 770, each use of Roost restored 385 points. Since Dragon Rage inflicted only 400 damage, it took over twenty instances of Dragon Rage to exhaust Gligar's Stamina in this prolonged standoff.

Pokemon have no limitations on using moves; they can continuously employ various techniques as long as they remain combat-ready. Higher proficiency leads to shorter intervals between move usage.

"Too bad Gligar can't learn Roost naturally; I definitely need a Move Disk for it. If Fearow also knew Roost, wouldn't my score have been even higher?" Lian felt slightly unsatisfied but quickly dismissed the thought. Had Fearow learned Roost, Lian might not have stood a chance against it, let alone achieving such a high combat rating.

With over ten thousand Combat Points, Lian wasn't sure how best to utilize them, having never amassed such a large amount before.

"By the way, why hasn't the system upgraded yet?" Lian wondered aloud. Previously, the system had upgraded at five thousand Combat Points, but now with over ten thousand, there was still no upgrade.

Does it require even higher Combat Points to upgrade now? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand?

Lian debated whether to save up for twenty thousand Combat Points and wait for the system's upgrade, as this might be his closest opportunity yet.

However, he couldn't be certain if reaching twenty thousand Combat Points would indeed trigger an upgrade; otherwise, it could just waste time.

"Never mind, improving my strength is key. Let's enhance Special Attack first." With this rare opportunity of obtaining over ten thousand Combat Points, Lian decided to prioritize upgrading his Special Attack before considering other abilities.

Currently, his Special Attack Ability stood at 651 points, with the Special Attack Base Stat reaching 120, which translates to a peak threshold of 40+. Lian calculated that to achieve the next tier, a peak threshold of 50+, or a Special Attack Base Stat of 130, he needed to increase his ability by 36 points, requiring a consumption of 8,640 Combat Points.

Using more than eight thousand Combat Points solely to boost Special Attack didn't bother Lian, knowing that converting these points into actual power would enable him to face stronger opponents in the future.

This situation was purely luck, not something easily replicated. Few Trainers would continuously watch their Pokemon get injured, repeatedly using moves to restore health only to endure further damage again.

Lian clicked on the plus sign next to his Special Attack Attribute, gradually increasing its value. His claws continuously tapped the button while closely monitoring the changes in the attribute.

After a brief moment, Lian's Special Attack Ability increased from 651 to 687 points, nearly reaching seven hundred. Simultaneously, his Combat Points drastically reduced to only 4,392 remaining.

Despite still having over four thousand Combat Points, it was significant considering he had just spent more than eight thousand to enhance his Special Attack. Obtaining such large amounts of Combat Points at once would not be as easy moving forward.

"Alright, let's see what else can be improved."

Lian examined his moves. During today's battle, Dragon Rage displayed exceptional offensive power, making it currently his strongest move. However, it had yet to reach its maximum potential.

Lian decided to upgrade Dragon Rage, hoping for some unexpected additional effects.

Spending 500 Combat Points, Lian maxed out Dragon Rage. Initially, there were no noticeable changes; even when checking the description after tapping on Dragon Rage, he couldn't find any specific details about additional effects upon reaching the move's limit.

Lian felt that after upgrading the system, there should be more detailed descriptions available. Unfortunately, he had already exhausted his Combat Points, and it was uncertain when the next upgrade would occur.

He decided to test Dragon Rage's additional effects tomorrow with anticipation. Being a dragon-type move, what kind of extra effect could it have?

What should he enhance next?

With 3,892 remaining Combat Points, Lian considered either improving other moves or increasing ability values.

"I wonder what additional effects I'll get by enhancing Smokescreen." Lian looked at the Smokescreen move; although primarily an auxiliary tactic, it could be highly useful for obscuring opponents' vision.

Today's battles highlighted Lian's vulnerability. Gligar's Feint Attack cost him two hundred Stamina points, and Fearow's Drill Run nearly defeated him.

Lian hadn't yet learned any defensive moves. Typically, Kalia advised using Smokescreen as an obstructive defense strategy. By increasing its proficiency, there might be surprising additional effects.

"Enhance!"

Quickly making up his mind, Lian spent 600 Combat Points to max out the Smokescreen move. Without dedicated defensive maneuvers, Smokescreen remained crucial for him.
