Chapter 2: MUST Rescue
On the other hand, the little Dratini rushed toward the direction of his mother, his eyes filled with worry upon seeing the earlier explosion.
He immediately increased his speed, unaware that he was using an unknown move: Extreme Speed.
Upon arriving at the chaotic scene, he didn't assess his surroundings and instead rushed toward his mother, who was lying on the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes as he grieved over his mother's bloodied and bruised body.
Overwhelmed with sadness, he called out to his mother, but received no response.
His mother, however, sensed her son's presence, though she was unable to see or move. Her strength was at its lowest, and she felt her vitality fading away with each passing moment.
In her mind, she scolded the young man. She had entrusted her son's safety to him, but now her son had returned. What if enemies were still nearby and saw her son? He had just hatched and had no battle experience; how could he defend himself against any enemies?
Despite feeling warmth with her son by her side, she knew it wasn't safe. Where had the young man gone? Had he betrayed her too? She felt utterly helpless, unable to feel her body and on the brink of passing out. Yet, she forced herself to remain conscious with every ounce of her remaining strength.
Where did you go?
The little Dratini continued to call out but still received no response from his mother. Tears filled his eyes, and he curled up beside his mother, crying helplessly.
A few seconds later, the young man appeared with Axew and Horsea.
"You, bastard, why did you come back?" the young man scolded Dratini.
He looked around, shocked by the scene before him. The battlefield was a chaotic mess, strewn with many incomplete human bodies and dead Pokémon from the battle.
Hearing the young man's voice, the little Dratini cried and rushed helplessly toward him, pleading for help for his mother.
"Okay, there, there," the young man said, patting Dratini's head.
Feeling the young man's presence, Dragonite sighed in relief and lost consciousness.
Axew and Horsea rushed toward Dragonite. Axew felt sadness, while Horsea was already crying, mourning for her. They looked at the young man with the same pleading expression as Dratini earlier, begging him to help Dragonite survive.
The young man's expression turned gloomy upon seeing Dragonite's condition. He patted Dratini on the head and set him down before rushing over to check on Dragonite.
Dratini followed him, hope in his eyes.
The young man activated his Dragon Power, and a green light appeared on his hand. However, a few seconds later, panic crossed his face.
"She has been inflicted with a burn, and the status is severe. It's bad; her vitality is rapidly decreasing," he said. Even with the assistance of Dragon Power, he couldn't counter the rapid decline in Dragonite's vitality.
He quickly retrieved a powder from his backpack, Healing Powder made from Rawst Berries. He applied it to Dragonite's burnt body and activated his Dragon Power. However, it proved futile in completely stopping the decrease in Dragonite's vitality; it could only slow down the process.
He then added Energy Powder made from Leppa Berries, but once again, it wasn't enough. He tried a Potion, but it still fell short. Seeing this, he felt a sense of desperation.
What could he do? He was just a novice breeder, feeling helpless in a situation like this.
Horsea and Dratini approached him, both crying. On the other hand, Axew clenched his fist, showing his determination.
Strength. If only he were stronger…
"Don't worry, there's still a chance," the young man said, closing his eyes. "System!"
"Start the simulation! Please find a way to heal Dragonite."
[Start Scanning… 10%... 20%...50%...75%...90%...95%...97%...98%...99%...100%]
[Dragonite's Full Heal Status - Difficulty Level: Master]
Upon hearing about the Master Level, the young man felt a sense of despair. The Master Level would cost four times as much as other levels. The system had five stages of difficulty: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, and Peak.
Simulation Levels:
Novice – Easy (E) = 10 Points, Medium (M) = 15 Points, Hard (H) = 20 Points
Intermediate – E = 40 Points, M = 80 Points, H = 160 Points
Advanced – E = 320 Points, M = 640 Points, H = 1,280 Points
Master = 2,560 Points
Peak = 5,000 Points
But it didn't end there. There was a rule in the system: if you were at the Novice level and attempted to create something exceeding that stage, such as trying to craft something at the Intermediate stage, it would multiply the difficulty by 2. If you were at the Novice stage and attempted to create an item at the Advanced stage, it would multiply the difficulty by 3, and so on.
If you are at the Intermediate level and attempt to create something at the Advanced stage, it will multiply the difficulty by 2. Trying the Master stage will multiply it by 3, and so on.
There's also a simulation percentage multiplier: starting from 60%, the percentage is x2, 70% is x3, 80% is x4, and 90%-100% is x5.
The only difference between achieving a success rate of 100% and 90% or below is that in the former, the system will take control over the user's consciousness until the creation is complete, whereas in the latter, you can retain your consciousness. You can observe how the system controls you and facilitates the creation process, but it also comes with a chance of failure.
Additionally, you must possess the actual item required for the system to generate the specific creation. The system will provide a list of necessary items before initiating the simulation process.
The Master Stage simulation will cost 10,240 points, which is then multiplied by 5 for a success rate ranging from 90% to 100%. The grand total for this simulation amounts to an impressive 51,200 points!
Feeling discouraged, the young man asked, "System, I can't afford it. Is there any other way I can use my points to make it affordable?"
[Certainly. With your total points of 17,270, you can spend them on an Advanced - Medium Level Stage to create a "Full Heal" potion for 11,600 points, which comes with a success rate of 90% to 100%. This stage can effectively halt the decreasing vitality of this Dragonite, but it will remain unconscious.]
(AN: Advanced Medium = 640 x 3 (Because of stage gap) = 1920 x 5 (because 90%-100% is x5) = 9600 + 2000 for the recipe. The system cannot simulate something if you don't buy the recipe.)
"Spend it."
[The required items are listed in the following instructions: Cheri Berry, Pecha Berry, Rawst Berry, Aspear Berry, Berry Blender or ApriBlender, empty bottle… Do you accept this? Yes or No?]
He checked the items and found that he had them. Being a breeder himself, he always collected berries whenever he traveled, keeping them in his backpack. So, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Then, he suddenly lost consciousness, and the system began its work. This time, he opted for the 100% simulation because he couldn't afford to fail, even with the slightest chance of it happening. Although he had only met this Dragonite a few days ago, he couldn't bear to let her die. Seeing the pitiful look in Dratini's eyes as it gazed at him, he felt compelled to save his mother.
