Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 A Wrong Beginning

"Soul Master, what about the children?"

Village Chief Jack asked anxiously, his tone expectant.

Su Yuntao told Old Jack about Gula and Tang San's martial souls, bid farewell to Gula, and left Holy Soul Village.

Gula didn't rush to check the system, but invited Tang San, "Little San, want to try out your martial souls in the back mountain?"

  "Okay."

Tang San originally wanted to go home to cook, but upon hearing this, he nodded.

His father wouldn't be too hungry for a while; he wanted to learn more about martial souls from Gula.

So the two went to the back mountain together.

On the way, both were silent.

Tang San was secretly sensing the difference between the two martial souls, while Gula opened the system panel and found the notification record.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully transmigrating and binding the "Strongest Trainer"/"Pokémon Master" System (Supreme Abnormal Invincible Ultimate Edition)]

  [Opened the newbie gift pack, obtaining Advanced Ball*10, Healing Medicine*5, Panacea*1, Insect Repellent Spray*5, Super True Novice Physique*1.] [

New player quest activated.

You've just turned eighteen and are entering the Pokémon world.

Please acquire your starter Pokémon as soon as possible and embark on an adventure or enter the beginner academy.]

Groudon was puzzled.

Was there something wrong with me, or was there something wrong with you?

He glanced at Tang San, who was happily playing with his Blue Silver Grass beside him.

Yes, it was the pure and innocent Tang San.

This was Douluo Continent.

Who messed up my system like this?

Oh, I must have transmigrated to the wrong world. Never mind then .

  "Gula, what's wrong?"

Tang San noticed the gaze and asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, you can continue," Groudon replied perfunctorily.

Tang San was suspicious, suspecting Groudon had seen something, and dared not continue fiddling with the Clear Sky Hammer, focusing instead on studying the Blue Silver Grass.

Groudon continued to check the system messages.

[Host has been detected to possess a starter Pokémon, Groudon.

Reward: Viridian Power, one Ground-type move disc of your choice. Accept?]

[Host has been detected to have captured a max-level legendary Pokémon, Groudon.

Title: "Nurturer," and God-level breeding techniques.] (

Includes God-level Energy Cube Techniques, Master-level Massage Techniques, Master-level Pokémon Breeding Knowledge, Master-level Pokémon Medicine, Master-level Archaeology, Master-level Pokémon Psychology, God-level Appraisal Eye...)

Okay, okay, you're not even hiding your cheating skills anymore, huh? I like it.

Groudon was surprised that both his Martial Soul and his clone were being treated as his Pokémon, but he had no reason to refuse two rewards.

He silently accepted the rewards, and a series of rewards merged into his body, causing a dramatic change.

[Super True Novice Physique: Greatly increases physique and strength, reduces Pokémon damage taken by 99%, contains Aura potential within.]

Viridian Power: Granted a special power to the trainer upon approval by Viridian Forest.

Enhances Pokémon affinity, allows for telepathic communication with Pokémon, and can heal Pokémon injuries by consuming stamina.]

The two rewards were immediately apparent, and Groudon felt the changes.

His already powerful physique became even stronger; his muscles weren't visibly defined, yet he felt he could carry Groudon while doing parkour, and he even felt a sense of familiarity from the surrounding Blue Silver Grass.

'Not bad, my current physical strength is enough to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring without a problem.

Even if there were no Pokémon in Douluo Continent, these rewards wouldn't be a loss.'

Groudon thought to himself, satisfied.

Tang San frowned. "Gula, what did you do?

I feel like you've become a different person..."

  "Hmm, really?"

Groudon asked疑惑地, turning to look at Tang San, casually putting on the title of "Raiser," instantly flooding his brain with countless memories.

His God-level Appraisal Eye automatically activated, and a system notification sounded simultaneously.

  [Mission Triggered!]

[The roadside ??? dares to defy the future strongest trainer! Defeat/capture it using Pokémon!] Groudon was speechless.

The system was acting up again.

What to do?

Even more frustrating was that the God-level Appraisal Eye seemed unreliable.

[Unknown Pokémon: Please name it, discoverer]

[Type: Grass, Fighting/Steel, Ground]

[Potential: Demigod-level (Growth limit without luck or trainer interference)]

[Evaluation: A mysterious unknown Pokémon with two sides to its attributes, seemingly a reborn powerhouse with unlimited potential.

Highly recommended to catch as your main Pokémon.]

After reading the description, Groudon's silence was deafening.

He paused, and his twenty years of Pokémon player instincts drove him… to take out a Great Ball.

"Hey, little brother, I'll show you something nice."

  "What?"

  "You'll see when you go in."

"Wow, so spacious! Such a luxurious villa, and so many Blue Silver Grass!"

  "It's yours."

  "Really?"

"Of course, you're my good brother."   

You'll never believe why I moved to… Karachi

[Congratulations, host, on capturing the mysterious Pokémon, named "Tang San."

Rewards include one random High-Grass and one Steel-type CD, enhanced Viridian Power, and improved physique.]

[Please actively participate in battles, train your Pokémon to ascend to the world's strongest throne, and become the Pokémon Master!]

  [System Shop Open.]

Groudon smiled.

The environment inside the Ultra Ball could be modified according to the Pokémon's type, even more luxurious than Tang San's sect's main hall in his previous life; he wasn't worried about Tang San's dissatisfaction.

Tang San's face flushed with excitement.

No one had ever treated him so well before.

He had never even heard of a spatial device capable of carrying a person in his life.

Thinking of his goal to rebuild the Tang Sect, he made up his mind.

"Gula, a powerful figure once took me as his disciple and taught me a technique a hundred times more profound than the basic meditation method you cultivate.

I'm passing it on to you now!"

Gula's body trembled, his eyes widening:

"What a coincidence! I also met a powerful figure who took me as his disciple.

The soul tool I just saw was given to me by him. We really are destined!"

Tang San felt a little guilty, having lied about his own past, but fortunately, he had excellent composure and calmly nodded: "Yes, let's talk about it on the mountain."

Holy Soul Village was a beautiful place, perfect for retirement, except for its poverty.

Gula walked along the mountain path, perfecting his lie:

"Douluo Continent isn't the only continent.

On the other side of the sea, there's another continent called Sun and Moon Continent.

Soul masters there possess the power of soul tool technology.

You don't understand the power of soul tools now, but you'll gradually understand later."

Tang San listened with curiosity, also finding an excuse to cover up his lie.

Gula and Tang San exchanged glances, neither telling the truth, but they felt a greater trust between them.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, Tang San first taught Gula the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

This Daoist technique wasn't complicated; as long as one remembered the energy flow path, it could be learned quickly.

Fortunately, the power of the Everlasting Rock made Gula's hearing and vision sharp, and his mind clear, allowing him to quickly memorize the Mysterious Heaven Skill's path.

Gula awakened his clone, simultaneously learning the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Furthermore, Gula integrated the power of the Everlasting Rock into his soul power, making the violent and volatile energy much gentler and easier to control.

Through his connection with his clone Groudon, Gula continuously channeled the power of the Everlasting Rock into him, healing the clone's missing soul, while the earth continuously restored Gula's physical strength, creating a balance.

However, the power of the Everlasting Rock had little effect on soul injuries; it was better than nothing.

Gula was quite satisfied: 'At least it's a good start.'

He circulated the enhanced power of the Everlasting Rock, sensing the affinity of the surrounding plants, savoring the mysterious power originating from nature.

"If I had a second martial soul with a grass attribute, it would be wonderful to combine with the power of the Everlasting Rock."

Thinking of this, he felt a moment of shame for his greed.

Suddenly, the blue silver grass in the distance alerted him to someone approaching.

Gula's mind raced, guessing it was Tang Hao who hadn't returned after Tang San awakened his martial soul and had come to check on him.

He stopped cultivating and exclaimed, "Little San, you have twin martial souls, right?"

Tang San looked surprised, but not unexpected. "Brother Gu, how did you find out?"

In the distance, Tang Hao clenched his fists, his skin flushed with excitement, suppressing the urge to shout, waiting for Gula's explanation.

Gula smiled smugly: "That's not hard to deduce." "

First of all, unless one has been eating rare and precious herbs since childhood, it's impossible for a blue silver grass to possess innate full soul power."

"I don't need to elaborate on your family's situation.

They usually go hungry, barely malnourished, let alone able to afford precious medicines."

Tang San looked embarrassed, feeling ashamed for his father, but he didn't think much of it. His father was a bit lazy, but he was still his father.

Once he became a soul master, he could support the family, and his father wouldn't have to work as a blacksmith anymore; he could ensure the family's livelihood.

Seeing that Tang San didn't shout for battle, Gula showed approval, feeling that his teaching had worked.

He continued,

"Blue Silver Grass is a well-known useless martial soul, unable to support innate full soul power, so you must have a second martial soul."

"However, twin martial souls require that the origins of the two martial souls be similarly powerful.

Only when neither martial soul can defeat the other can a balance be achieved, becoming one in a million twin martial souls!

Otherwise, one will only be overwhelmed and awaken only one martial soul."

In the shadows, Tang Hao frowned.

He didn't think any martial soul could compare to the Clear Sky Hammer, but what Gula said made sense, so he patiently continued to listen.

"Therefore, I speculate that your Blue Silver Grass is not simple.

Like other soul beasts, it may be the king, or even the emperor, among Blue Silver Grasses."

"The reason it manifests as Blue Silver Grass may be due to incomplete mutation, requiring more similar origins to fill in and complete the final evolution!"

  "Absurd! Nonsense!"

Tang Hao couldn't stand it anymore.

He wouldn't allow anyone to belittle the Clear Sky Hammer.

Yes, although he hadn't seen it yet, he was certain that Tang San's second spirit was the Clear Sky Hammer.

But Gula said the Blue Silver Emperor was incomplete, which meant the Clear Sky Hammer was inferior to the Blue Silver Emperor, hence its incomplete awakening.

This was unacceptable to Tang Hao, who had always been proud of the Clear Sky Hammer.

He flew to the mountaintop and glared at Gula.

"Gula, what evidence do you have to prove what you're saying?

Think it through before you speak, don't spout nonsense."

"Dad!"

Tang San was surprised.

He hadn't even seen his father appear.

Could his father actually be a soul master?

Tang Hao looked at Tang San, his expression gentle and kind—the first time Tang San had ever seen such a gentle expression. "Little San, if you have any questions, I'll answer them later."

He then looked at Gula, signaling him to continue.
