Pokemon: Rising From The Dark Chapter 553 - 804 - System Upgrade Completed

Just as Aoki had been sitting on the seat for half an hour, lost in thought, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Beep! The system upgrade is complete. Initializing recovery process. Please wait patiently..."

The chanical tone jolted Aoki upright.

Finally, the upgrade was complete!

After waiting for so long, the system had finally finished updating.

He sat silently, anticipation thrumming through him as he waited for the system to fully reboot. The most pressing question was what new functionalities this upgrade had unlocked.

After ten minutes of waiting, the system's voice chid again.

"Recovery process complete. All system functions are now operational. Thank you for your patience."

The voice remained chanical, but there was a subtle smoothness to it now—perhaps an influence from the Porygon's data integration.

"System, report the improvents from this upgrade," Aoki demanded, eager to understand the changes.

In response, the system projected a holographic screen before him, detailing the modifications.

At first glance, Aoki could tell the upgrade was substantial.

Previously, the interface had felt rudintary—functional but dated, like an old computer monitor from decades past. Now, it had undergone a dramatic transformation, sleek and modern, as if leaping forward into a new era of technology.

But aesthetics aside, he focused on the practical upgrades.

First and most crucial, the system had successfully established a subsystem capable of remote communication.

Under normal conditions (outside of ruins or distorted spaces), the system could now link to this subsystem at any ti. Currently, this subsystem was embedded within the Porygon's data matrix.

Originally just a digital entity, the Porygon now served as a vessel for this secondary system—one entirely governed by the main system and disposable at will.

If the subsystem were ever deactivated, the Porygon would cease to exist.

This was exactly what Aoki wanted: a safeguard ensuring that his Pokémon could be deployed without risk while still benefiting from accelerated growth.

"If only I had a teleportation device..." Aoki mused briefly before shelving the thought.

Moving on, he examined the other enhancents.

The upgrade had primarily been facilitated by the Porygon's integration, providing an external storage unit for the subsystem.

It was like upgrading a dual-core processor to a quad-core—processing power had skyrocketed.

Second, data handling had vastly improved.

Barring extre data overloads, the system could now download and process information without lag or shutdowns—a frequent issue before.

Additionally, data categorization, analysis speed, and storage efficiency had all seen significant boosts.

This was invaluable. As Aoki's access to information expanded—especially if he ever infiltrated Team Rocket's genetic research—the system's ability to manage vast datasets would be critical.

Third, scanning Pokémon data had beco far more discreet.

Previously, entities like Azelf could detect the scans, but now, unless a Pokémon vastly outclassed Azelf in power, the process would remain undetected.

A minor but useful improvent.

Fourth, detailed Pokémon scans no longer required physical contact.

Before, Aoki had to touch a Pokémon to extract in-depth data. Now, proximity alone sufficed—though full analysis still necessitated direct interaction.

Fifth, scanning and sensory ranges had expanded dramatically.

Originally, Aoki needed to be within a few ters to gauge a Pokémon's level, abilities, potential, and moves. Now, he could scan any Pokémon within a hundred-ter radius.

Sixth and finally, a new feature: Battle Simulation.

By compiling an opponent's Pokémon data, the system could predict battle strategies based on known moves, abilities, and behavioral patterns.

The more data available—such as battle recordings, Trainer tendencies, or even a Pokémon's preferences—the more accurate the simulations.

At first glance, this seed overpowered. But Aoki recognized the danger: overreliance could dull his instincts, rendering him dependent on the system's calculations rather than his own skill.

Had this feature existed earlier, he might have embraced it blindly. But after the system's dormancy, he understood the importance of self-reliance.

He resolved to use it sparingly—only in ergencies or to study unique tactics, which he could then adapt into his own style.

All in all, the upgrades were substantial. While no single feature was revolutionary, the collective improvents far surpassed the system's previous limitations.

"Now that the system's updated, the Porygon should be awake," Aoki realized, retrieving the Luxury Ball from his pocket.

Inside, the revived Porygon peered out through the translucent casing.

As a digital entity, it didn't require sustenance like organic Pokémon, making prolonged storage in the Poké Ball harmless. That said, feeding it Pokéblocks could accelerate its growth.

Even spectral Pokémon like Gastly could consu them—apparently, data-based lifeforms weren't excluded.

A mischievous thought struck him.

"System, switch to Porygon's perspective."

Curious, he wanted to see the world inside a Pokeball.
