Chapter-6
"Zeraora, Thunder Claw!" Cale shouted as electricity flickered around Zeraora. Lightning condensed around the Pokémon's hands, forming large, crackling claws. Zeraora dashed forward, lightning dancing around it, cutting and burning... grass?
"Phew," Cale exhaled, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Finally, the work is done." He glanced over at Rhyperior, who was still leveling the ground with Earthquake. Feeling satisfied, Cale pulled up the system window.
It was evening, and the long day's work had worn him out. Even Giovanni had gone to rest. Cale headed to his room, eager for some respite.
"System, I want to draw a lottery!" he thought, lying back on his bed. He was ready to use up all the three hundred thousand reputation points he'd earned.
**Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the character card: Team Rocket Trio - James.**
"James, huh?" Cale muttered, slightly surprised. "Not bad, I suppose."
But the system didn't stop there.
**Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the character card: Team Rocket Trio - Jessie.**
**Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the character card: Team Rocket Trio - Meowth.**
**Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Poké Ball x1.**
**Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the energy cube recipe.**
**Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a random Dragon Slayer Crystal.**
**Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Pokémon Abra.**
Cale's head was spinning with the flood of notifications. Although the Rocket Trio and Abra seemed decent, most of the other rewards were of little value to him. Then, something caught his attention.
"Dragon Slayer Crystal..." he said aloud as the system spun and landed on a silver crystal.
**Congratulations on obtaining the Law Dragon Slayer Crystal. It can be consumed by either human or Pokémon.**
"Law Magic?" Cale mused, recalling something from his memories of the Fairy Tail universe. *Law Dragon Slayer Magic*, as he remembered, focused on knowledge and information gathering, manipulating the laws of nature.
His gaze then fell on the card containing Abra.
Cale's eyes glowed a faint purple as the system chimed in again.
**Psychic Level Increased.**
He immediately summoned Abra from its card, preparing to act before it could teleport away.
"Abra!" the little Pokémon cried, struggling violently.

Cale observed the small, drowsy Pokémon thoughtfully.
'Abra, why don't you join me?' Cale asked telepathically, as his aura reached out, calming the frightened Pokémon.
"Abra?" The young Pokémon, sensing danger, was confused but curious. The aura surrounding Cale didn't feel hostile—in fact, it felt warm. Just as Abra was about to flee, it saw something—a vision of the future.
In the vision, Abra stood tall, its body larger and more powerful. Its yellow fur had turned a brilliant white, with red, crystal-like armor covering its limbs. A dragon, one Abra had never seen before, was beneath its feet, obedient.
And then, the vision faded.
"Abra!" The small Psychic-type's eyes sharpened, its sleepiness vanishing as it extended a hand toward Cale.
Cale smiled, shaking Abra's tiny hand. "Glad to have you on board."
Without hesitation, Cale took out the Dragon Slayer Crystal and pressed it against Abra. The silver crystal was quickly absorbed, and Abra's body began to tremble as changes coursed through it. Energy drained from the young Pokémon, and its eyes fluttered shut.
"Sleep tight," Cale whispered as he watched his newest companion rest, undergoing a transformation.
His eyes then drifted to the character card in his hand, depicting the familiar faces of Jessie, James, and Meowth.
Cale sighed, feeling slightly numb. "I guess it's better than nothing. We are short on staff after all."
Silently, he placed the Team Rocket Trio summoning card back into his system backpack. He would summon them tomorrow when things had settled down.
Calethen turned on the computer and started working, registering an account on the Megalodon live streaming platform.
What he wanted to do now was simple: live stream and sell the vast knowledge stored in his mind.
He had already spent the original 20,000 Alliance coins he had—most of it went towards buying a computer for himself and a live streaming assistant for Giovanni. A considerable amount of money had already been spent, and with the upcoming construction of the academy, more funds would be needed.
Originally, Cale had planned to sell his knowledge to Century City, but now he could only rely on the masses online, hoping to attract potential wealthy benefactors.
He set up the live stream room with the title:
**[Aizen's Pokémon Encyclopedia: There's No Pokémon Secret I Don't Know. Paid Answers.]**
After creating the rather arrogant title, Cale leaned back, sipping his coffee and waiting. When it came to Pokémon knowledge, Cale was confident that no one in the world could match him. Not even Professor Oak would know as much as he did.
Soon enough, curious viewers started pouring into the live stream room, drawn by the arrogant title.
They found a handsome young man sitting calmly with a cup of coffee, looking quite at ease.
**[I thought the host would be an old man, but it's just some cocky kid.]**
**[Walking Pokémon Encyclopedia? This guy's too full of himself. Not even Professor Sun would say something like that.]**
**[Paid answers too? This is definitely a scam. I'm calling it now.]**
Cale glanced at the comments but didn't bother replying. He knew that there were always skeptics online. Eventually, though, someone would be curious enough to pay for the answer.
Then, a question caught his eye in the chat:
**[So, you know everything, right? Tell us how Pikachu can defeat an Onix.]**
**[Yeah, if you can answer that, I'll believe you're a walking Pokémon encyclopedia.]**
**[If you can't answer, pack it up and quit, you're embarrassing yourself.]**
A small smirk appeared on Cale's face. The fish had taken the bait.
As everyone knew, Onix was a Ground- and Rock-type Pokémon, and Pikachu was Electric-type. Normally, it would be impossible for Pikachu to defeat Onix in a straightforward match. It was clearly a trick question meant to corner him.
But who was Cale? He knew more about Pokémon than anyone else.
"If you want Pikachu to defeat Onix, the solution is simple," Cale began confidently. "But, since this is your first question, I'll give you a discount."
"When the total rewards reach 2,000 Alliance coins, I'll give you the answer," he said with a slight smile.
His goal was clear: money. No answer would come for free.
**[2,000 Alliance coins? Why don't you just rob people?!]**
**[Nah, robbing would be slower. This guy's getting rich fast.]**
**[Don't fall for it! There's no way Pikachu can beat Onix. Any Ground-type would beat Pikachu.]**
The live chat exploded in response. Everyone thought Cale was a scam artist, and no one sent any rewards. But Cale remained calm, continuing to wait.
Meanwhile, in a high-end bar in Century City, a young man named William was nursing a drink, frustrated.
"I gave Pikachu the best resources and hired top-tier trainers for it," William grumbled, taking a swig of his drink. "Why couldn't it beat Onix?!"
Earlier that day, William had used his Pikachu to challenge the Rock-type gym, thinking his Pikachu could overcome type disadvantages. But he had been soundly defeated by the gym's Onix, leaving him bitter.
"Isn't there a way for Pikachu to defeat Onix?!" William shouted in frustration.
"Calm down, Will," a young woman beside him said, trying to comfort him. "Ground-types beat Electric-types. Why not try Water-types next time?"
"Yeah, Will, don't sweat it. Use Pikachu against Water-types, it's easier," another woman chimed in, trying to cheer him up.
"Forget it, you don't understand," William grumbled, pushing them away.
Normally, he'd enjoy their company, but after losing at the gym, he wasn't in the mood.
"Hey, Will, look at this!" another woman called out, showing him her phone. "There's someone live streaming who says they know how to make Pikachu defeat Onix."
She held up her phone, showing Cale's live stream room.
"He says you just need to reward him 2,000 Alliance coins, and he'll tell you the answer."
William's eyes narrowed as he focused on the screen.
