[Would you like to awaken the Power of Viridian?]
"Yes — awaken it!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Yi confirmed the system's prompt.
The [Power of Viridian]…
You'd have to be a fool not to awaken it!
And as soon as he made his choice, Guo Yi immediately felt a mysterious energy stirring within him.
He slowly closed his eyes, allowing himself to sense the vastness of this newfound power.
The very next moment—
A surge of emotion rippled through his mind.
Within that wave, he caught a thread of... concern.
Instinctively turning his head, Guo Yi found Beedrill staring at him with focused, anxious eyes.
What's going on with my trainer?
One minute he's grinning like an idiot, the next he's got his eyes closed like he's meditating.
Is he... too happy for his own good?
Watching Guo Yi's ever-changing expressions, Beedrill couldn't help but grow uneasy.
His trainer's behavior these past few days had already been wildly different from usual.
How could Beedrill not worry?
"So this is the [Power of Viridian]... the ability to sense a Pokémon's emotions."
Though Guo Yi had read descriptions of the [Power of Viridian] before and knew some of its traits, it was still something else entirely to experience it for himself.
The realization filled him with excitement.
"Don't worry, Beedrill — I'm fine."
Sensing Beedrill's worry, Guo Yi reached out and gently patted his little head.
At the same time, he activated the [Power of Viridian].
In an instant—
A warm current of energy surged through Beedrill's entire body.
The lingering fatigue, the faint aches — all of it melted away as if washed clean.
And that soothing warmth didn't fade until Guo Yi withdrew his hand.
Bzzt...
Beedrill let out a soft trill, clearly savoring the feeling.
"Beedrill, that was a power I've just awakened. It's called the [Power of Viridian]."
"From now on, if you ever get hurt, I'll be able to heal you immediately."
Guo Yi smiled as he explained.
Beedrill was the only Pokémon he had — more than just a partner, he was family.
Bzzt!
Beedrill's eyes lit up at the news.
What an incredible ability!
That meant he could fight even more recklessly from now on, without worrying as much about the aftermath.
Seeing his partner's joy, Guo Yi decided to give him another surprise — it was time to bind [Giovanni's Beedrill Template] to him.
"Beedrill, in a moment you're going to feel a powerful force awaken inside you."
"Don't panic — just stay calm and absorb it."
"It'll only help you. It won't hurt you."
Worried Beedrill might overreact, Guo Yi made sure to prepare him first.
Once Beedrill was ready, Guo Yi bound the template to him.
Bzzt!
The next moment—
Waves of energy began to surge from within Beedrill's body.
Old injuries mended, hidden potential bloomed — and most importantly, his strength began to rise rapidly.
Beedrill let out a sharp, exhilarated cry.
A ripple of energy swept outward.
And just like that—
Beedrill shattered the shackles of the Excellence tier, vaulting ten full levels in one go.
He was now a Level 40 Veteran-tier Pokémon.
Only a single step away from Elite-tier.
If all went well, he might even break through by nightfall.
And that wasn't all.
Beedrill's skill panel and potential had undergone a complete transformation.
[Beedrill]
[Gender: ♂]
[Level: 40 (Veteran-tier)]
[Ability: Sniper (Critical hits deal 2.25× normal damage)]
[Moves (Current): Twinneedle, Fury Attack, Venoshock, Pursuit]
[Template Moves: Poison Jab, Agility, Fell Stinger, X-Scissor, U-turn, Drill Run, Swords [Dance, Double Team]
[Egg Moves: None]
[Held Item: None]
[Potential: Quasi-Elite Four]
[Template Bound: Giovanni's Beedrill Template]
In just a short time, Beedrill's potential had soared from Veteran to Quasi-Elite Four.
And as he continued absorbing the power from the template, both his strength and potential would keep rising.
Bzzt!
With a sharp cry, Beedrill suddenly reined in his aura — concealing it back down to Excellence tier.
This wasn't just a raw stat increase.
The template's energy also granted mastery of combat skills, precision energy control, and battle instincts — all perfectly integrated.
There was no need to worry about a sudden spike in strength leading to energy instability or lack of control.
As for suppressing his aura—
That was Guo Yi's idea.
The reason?
Beedrill's strength was going to leap every single day from now on.
If he didn't hide it, Guo Yi might end up terrifying his newly recruited student.
With Beedrill's matters now settled, Guo Yi turned his focus to exploring the system's four major functions:
[Store]
[Fortune]
[Skills]
[Devices]
Looking at the four buttons, the first one he tapped was the Shop.
Inside were various items — battle equipment, berries, and a wide range of life skills and technical knowledge.
