"Alright, let me show you a magic trick. I'll conjure up some plum sauce for you to try!"
Jiang Feng flashed a goofy, honest grin.jpg
A spark of anticipation flickered in Mali's eyes. "Like the time you turned flames into flowers?"
Over the past few days, Jiang Feng had been pulling out all the stops to get closer to her, performing small magic tricks to win her over. As a transmigrator with a cheat-like system space, his magic skills surpassed even the likes of Liu Qian and Guo Degang combined! His flawless, innovative performances had piqued the girl's curiosity.
Coupled with his righteous good looks and a few angsty love ballads, Mali was practically swooning.
The once-awkward Jiang Feng had changed—drastically.
He was different now, completely different.
"Close your eyes, and I'll show you a magic trick!" Jiang Feng said with an innocent, pure smile.
"Fine, but you better not trick me!" Mali replied, her face brimming with excitement as she shut her eyes, tilting her head slightly, her twin tails swaying behind her.
Jiang Feng's smile turned… a little mischievous.
Heh heh heh…
Um…

Whoa…
Mali froze.
The overwhelming rush of hormones hit her like a tidal wave, leaving her dazed and staring blankly at Jiang Feng. Confusion, bewilderment, embarrassment, and shock swirled in her mind. Her strength seemed to drain away, leaving her legs wobbly and her body unsteady.
Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?
Her brain short-circuited for a solid moment.
When she finally snapped out of it, fury took over. She clenched her teeth and bit down hard.
"Ow! What are you, a dog?!" Jiang Feng yelped. "Why'd you bite me?!"
"I'll bite you to death, you jerk! You stole my first kiss!" Mali's usually cool demeanor was replaced by pure rage. Her first kiss, gone just like that!
To her, Jiang Feng was just a slightly handsome classmate who did cool magic tricks and sang sappy love songs. She never expected him to pull something like this! Weren't they supposed to be honest "spiky people" who didn't deceive each other?
"Jiang Feng, you… you jerk!"
Fuming, she kicked him and bolted, too flustered to notice she'd dropped a hair clip.
Jiang Feng smacked his lips, savoring the moment. As expected, 2D girls are just tastier.
Fresh! A dark, tsundere-type girl with a rebellious streak!
"Sorry, Mali," he thought. "It wasn't my intention. The Sea King System forced my hand… really."
All the perverts out there could back him up.
From the moment he transmigrated and saw the system's functions, Jiang Feng knew he was destined to become a scumbag in this life. In his past life, he'd been a hopeless simp. This time, in the Pokémon world, he'd be a Sea King!
What was wrong with wanting to give every girl a warm home?
The system's core function allowed him to boost his Pokémon's move proficiency through training, rapidly leveling up their skills. Skill levels ranged from Beginner, Proficient, Adept, Master, to Perfect.
Additionally, taking advantage of main or supporting female characters would yield rewards. Stealing a kiss granted a character's exclusive card!
Ding! Host's shameless act… Super-popular supporting character Mali… System fully activated! Rewards: Ash Ketchum's Physique, Mali's Exclusive Character Card!
Ash Ketchum's Physique!?
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up. That was the physique of a guy who could lift a 999kg Cosmoem and shatter Mewtwo's psychic shield with one punch—a man nicknamed "Little Goku"! S-tier strength, S-tier defense, S-tier resilience! He could tank a Thunderbolt like it was a glass of water.
At 18, with a fully mature Ash Ketchum physique, just how terrifying would he be?
A surge of warm energy coursed through his body, enhancing his strength, defense, and Resilience to their maximum!
Jiang Feng roared, "Bring me a woman—I'm ridiculously strong now!"
Brimming with power, he felt like he could spin a car wheel with just his pinky!
But that wasn't all. Ash Ketchum's Physique came with immense Aura power. Aura, the energy of the heart, exists in all things, but only a select few can sense and control it. In the anime, Ash's use of Aura was mostly instinctual until he partnered with Lucario in the Galar region and began mastering it.
At 18, Jiang Feng's Aura was even stronger, allowing him to tap into basic Aura perception.
An upgraded version of Ash!
Satisfied, Jiang Feng opened his hand. There lay Mali's hair clip, sneakily taken during her distraction. With a flash of light, the hair clip transformed into an exclusive card, imprinted with Mali's signature fingertip smile.
Smile Card:
Mali's heart-melting smile. When bound to a Pokémon, boosts Physical Attack stat by 50, soothes the Pokémon, and increases bond with the Trainer.
Skill: Converts anger into stored proficiency, which can be released to enhance move proficiency.
Whoa…!
This was like a Miltank riding a plane—insane!альне
The Smile Card, when bound to a Pokémon, boosted its Physical Attack stat by 50! That's a base stat! It could also calm Pokémon, improve their bond with the Trainer, and convert anger into proficiency for skill upgrades.
With this, his rebellious Torchic would be tamed in no time!
Jiang Feng had been struggling to control his hot-tempered, defiant Torchic, which was always angry and barely grew. The Smile Card's ability to absorb anger and convert it into proficiency was the perfect solution. Store the anger, release it as needed, and level up specific moves!
Move upgrades! Power spikes!
Even Grandma Li next door would approve!
