The IV Enhancers had already been used, and the extra experience had pushed him up to Level 2.
Next…
Kael thought for a mont and turned his attention to the system inventory.
"One thing at a ti."
"Use Move Disc: Origin Pulse."
In an instant, a distant, ethereal resonance filled the underground cave. It sounded like the song of a whale rising from the depths of the ocean. The high, haunting hum echoed through the cavern.
A soft blue glow spread outward from Kael's skin, carrying the rich vitality unique to the sea. The once-dark cave was soon bathed in radiant ocean-blue light.
Kael felt an imnse power that stirred sothing deep within his bloodline. In a form he could not fully comprehend, it seed to cross ti and space, descending upon him and rging with the faint energy of his newborn Pokémon body.
A familiar force surged to life under his control, as though he had known it since birth.
The move "Origin Pulse," a symbol of overwhelming destructive power, appeared in his system move list.
With the help of the system, Kael had now beco one of only two Pokémon in the entire world capable of using the terrifying move Origin Pulse.
Of course, expecting a newborn Sobble to unleash the sa world-shattering power as Kyogre would be pure fantasy.
With the tiny reserve of Water-type energy currently in his body, even firing the weakest possible beam of Origin Pulse would drain him dry in an instant.
Caution. Absolute caution.
Kael knew exactly what he was capable of. He would never attempt sothing so reckless.
With the experience he had accumulated across several lifetis, he understood how to carefully control his energy output. Only when his energy reserves were sufficient would he consider truly using one of the strongest moves in the Pokémon world.
For now, Origin Pulse was little more than a decoration.
Unless he found himself in an extrely desperate situation, it would only serve as a suicidal last resort to take an opponent down with him.
"Alright…"
Kael exhaled slowly. The most important preparation he had planned was now complete.
"Next…"
His gaze shifted to the Ability Converter in his inventory, a hint of hesitation appearing in his eyes.
Changing a Pokémon's ability could sotis transform it into its hidden "dream ability," but that was not always beneficial.
Abilities were an extrely complex concept. Even in his previous life, Kael had never fully understood all their intricacies.
Because of that, he wasn't entirely sure whether changing Sobble's ability was the right choice.
He didn't even have a clear understanding yet of Sobble's battle style or offensive tendencies. How could he judge whether Torrent was suitable or not?
After thinking for a long ti, Kael finally made up his mind.
"I'll use it."
After experiencing more and more worlds through rebirth, Kael had developed a strong intuition about the system shop.
No matter how cheap or expensive an item was, anything sold there always ended up playing a significant role later in the journey. There were never useless items placed there for no reason.
He believed this ti would be no different.
Even in the worst case scenario, if luck abandoned him and the conversion produced a poor ability, Kael trusted that his own strength would still allow him to overco the disadvantage.
A typical person reborn into this world might choose to hold onto the Ability Converter for now.
They would probably wait until they fully understood Sobble's combat style before deciding whether Torrent truly needed replacing.
But Kael had a different philosophy.
In his view, a Pokémon's battle style must be established from the mont it is born, built around its core traits from the very beginning.
It was a gradual and tightly connected process. If his fighting style was interrupted midway because of an ability change, the consequences could ripple through his entire system of combat.
One misstep early on could slow everything down.
Kael would never allow sothing like that to undermine his foundation.
So his decision was simple.
Either he wouldn't use it at all—or if he did, he would commit from the start, no matter whether the outco was good or bad.
"Ability Converter, activate."
Ding.
"Conversion complete."
"Torrent → Sniper."
The change happened in an instant.
Before Kael could even react, a mysterious sensation appeared in his mind.
Information about his new ability, Sniper, flowed into his awareness.
A smile slowly spread across his face.
"I guessed right."
His previous ability, Torrent, boosted the power of Water-type moves when his health dropped below a certain threshold. It was reliable and versatile, but fairly ordinary.
His new ability, Sniper, was far more distinctive.
Critical hits would deal 1.5 tis the normal critical-hit damage aning the total damage beca three tis greater than a regular strike.
The mont Kael saw the effect, he imdiately thought of the badge he had obtained in his previous world: Dawn of the Cursed Dream.
That badge increased critical-hit damage as well, and combined with a twenty percent increase to critical-hit chance, the synergy between the two had been incredible.
Even now, just by looking at these two effects, Kael could already begin constructing a combat frawork for this life.
A long-range assassin style.
A sniper build focused on stacking abilities that increased critical-hit chances, delivering devastating strikes in a single decisive mont.
It was only a rough concept, but it still filled him with excitent.
A completely new combat style and experience different from anything he had used before was exactly what he sought in the endless cycle of rebirth.
Still, he knew it was too early to finalize anything. Kael turned his attention to the last two items in his inventory.
The Dynamax Band.
And the Cosmic DNA of Deoxys (Speed For).
The first item was still slowly charging and couldn't be used yet, so he didn't focus on it.
But the second one…
Kael's eyes lit up as he stared at it in the system equipnt panel.
"Cosmic DNA."
Compared to ordinary equipnt, it sounded more like so microscopic substance sothing invisible to the human eye.
And in truth…
That was exactly what it was.
