Entei had previously seen the little one use that power once before, and after that, the little one had fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption.
“You are still too young to skillfully control this power. It will drain your strength. Without my permission, do not use it again,” Entei said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, a huge question mark seemed to pop up over Atlas’s head.
What was Entei talking about?
When he used the system, he did not need to burn his life or sacrifice his soul.
He only needed to consume some shock points.
However, looking at Entei’s serious expression, Atlas slowly realized that Entei seemed to have misunderstood something.
He tried to explain, but all he could produce were babbling sounds.
In the end, he could only give up helplessly.
Entei then turned its gaze toward Marshadow.
It was about to say something when it saw the little one fetch the bottle from earlier, the one that still contained some milk.
He poured part of the MooMoo Milk into it, then hugged the bottle and crawled toward Marshadow.
Seeing this scene, both Entei and Marshadow were slightly stunned.
A guest was a guest.
Since he and Entei were drinking MooMoo Milk here, they could hardly let Marshadow stand there watching them drink, could they?
That would be far too impolite.
With that thought, Atlas pushed the bottle in his hands toward Marshadow.
Watching this, Marshadow froze instantly.
This human infant… was sharing food with it?
“Uwaa!” (Drink it!)
Atlas looked at Marshadow, who was just a little taller than himself, and urged it.
A look of obvious astonishment appeared on Marshadow’s face.
It slightly opened its mouth, staring at the human infant before it in disbelief.
Seeing that it did not move, the infant’s face seemed to show confusion.
He lowered his head to glance at the bottle, then pushed it a little closer to Marshadow.
“This is a gift from the little one. Accept it,” Entei’s majestic voice sounded.
It slowly walked over to Atlas’s side.
Ignoring Marshadow, it gently grabbed Atlas’s clothes in its mouth and carried him back to the newly spread leaf bed.
The ghostly flames on its body drifted soundlessly as they burned.
After a moment, it bent down, picked up the bottle filled with the milky white liquid from the ground, then looked up at Entei and its human cub alike.
Without a word, it sank into the shadows and soon disappeared.
Atlas grinned.
Not bad at all.
Marshadow was truly his timely rain.
This wave had directly brought him 25 shock points.
Adding the previous 15 and subtracting the 5 points he had just spent on the MooMoo Milk, Atlas still had a “huge sum” of 35 shock points on hand.
Atlas opened the system shop.
Poké Balls for capturing Pokémon, Rare Candies for raising a Pokémon’s level, and Secret Power for creating secret bases all required a large amount of shock points.
For him right now, they were far too distant.
Compared to those, it would be better to exchange for some items more practical for his current situation.
For example, a soft and comfortable bed with bedding, a new set of clothes, a toilet for convenience, a door to block the wind, cooking utensils, and so on.
With a thought, items that met his needs appeared in the shop.
[Crib: A bed suitable for infants to sleep in, equipped with fall prevention features for maximum safety. Cost: 500 shock points.]
[Fully automatic flush toilet: A household appliance for personal hygiene. Must be installed in a place with a water source and can be paired with a Reverse World connection device. Waste produced by the user will automatically be flushed into the Reverse World. Cost: 1000 shock points.]
Atlas: “…”
What the heck?
Reverse World really?
If he actually did that, would the god of the Reverse World, Giratina, not show up that very night to kill him?
[Baby Clothes: A complete set of baby clothing for all four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Cost: 200 shock points.]
[Door: A main door that provides privacy and security for the user. Can adapt to any type of doorframe. Cost: 300 shock points.]
[Kitchenware: A complete set of cooking utensils. Cost: 500 shock points.]
[Tableware: A complete set of dining utensils. Cost: 300 shock points.]
[Striped Wooden Flooring: Wooden flooring that will never rot. Upon use, it automatically transforms the floor of your home. Cost: 500 Shock Points.]
Atlas silently shed tears as he looked at the dazzling array of goods.
So expensive.
The “huge sum” in his hands was not enough to buy even a single item.
In the future, even if he never returned to a human city and continued living together with Entei on Mount Tensei, he could still achieve self sufficiency.
With that in mind, Atlas searched further in the shop.
Soon, interfaces different from the previous household items appeared before him.
[Farmland: A 9×9 plot of land with extremely high quality soil. No matter what crops are planted within it, they will grow vigorously. Can be placed anywhere. Cost: 5000 Shock Points.]
[Fish Pond: A fish pond with a built in water circulation system. Can be used to raise ordinary edible fish and can also provide a perfect living environment for Water type Pokémon. Cost: 5000 shock points.]
[Automatic Sprinkler: A device that automatically waters crops. Can be installed in farmland. Cost: 1000 shock points.]
Expensive.
Far too expensive.
Atlas then glanced at the Trainer section of the shop.
[Poké Ball, Red and White: Used to capture wild Pokémon. Average performance. Cost: 200 shock points.]
[Rare Candy: Used to increase a Pokémon’s level. The price varies according to level. For low level Pokémon, one candy costs only 1000 shock points. The price increases as the Pokémon’s level increases, reaching up to 100,000 shock points per candy.]
One hundred thousand shock points?
The only situation Atlas could think of was a level 99 Pokémon leveling up to 100.
However, in the real world, there was no clear concept of levels.
A Pokémon’s strength could fluctuate due to various factors, such as the bond with its Trainer, commonly referred to as a sudden burst of power.
There was no way for him to judge accurately.
“It seems I must find a way to earn some shock points,” Atlas thought to himself.
Putting aside the Trainer section for now, he at least needed to improve the quality of life for himself and Entei first.
If only he were in the human world.
Unfortunately, his body was still far too young.
He could not adopt the method of riding a Legendary Pokémon in front of ordinary Trainers to show off and earn shock points.
Since that was the case, he could only think of ways to get them from the Pokémon around him.
Which raised a question.
Earlier, when he had urinated on Entei, he had gained some shock points.
When Ho-Oh returned to Mount Tensei, if he ran over and peed on Ho-Oh, would he earn even more?
No… in that case, he would probably be beaten to death by Ho-Oh.
