Combat Power Evaluation: War Ghost Unparalleled!
Zuo Hang fell into contemplation. Coming to this world, this was the first time he had seen this kind of Combat Power Evaluation System. Ordinary Pokédex could only show Pokémon’s profile and distribution areas.
This Black Terminal could actually give detailed evaluations like combat power values.
It was one thing to measure Special Attack and Special Defense, but it could even measure Intelligence and Charm?
Is this 2025? I’m impressed.
The Black Terminal should be a technology unique to Academy City, after all, it’s Academy City. Having some black technology not available on the market is reasonable.
Besides the combat power system, the terminal also had the ordinary Pokédex. Zuo Hang tried it, and this Combat Power Recognition System had to be very close to the Pokémon to work. If the distance was farther, the scanned data was all “question marks”.
In comparison, the Pokédex with a detection range of six or seven meters was still the mainstream tool.
After scanning Pikachu’s data, a text prompt appeared on the terminal.
【Yes/No bind to this Pokémon? After binding, this Pokémon’s data can be encrypted, and no device except the owner’s terminal can read it】
【Binding to Pokémon requires recognizing the Pokémon’s voice】
【Pokémon Strength is the main bonus item for（personal overall quality evaluation）, please choose the Pokémon to bind carefully】
Zuo Hang selected yes.
After school starts, he would inevitably meet classmates. At that time, having a Pikachu by his side, and this phone having a Battle Power Test System, Zuo Hang could already imagine a bunch of people surrounding him taking photos.
Data like this is better encrypted.
【Recognizing Pokémon voice…】
A prompt appeared on the terminal, and Pikachu symbolically called out once.
【Voice recognition successful】
【Please have the student and Pokémon appear in front of the lens together, and place the head into the recognition frame】
Zuo Hang was stunned for a moment, then started “nodding” with the Electric Mouse.
【Image recognition successful. Zuo Hang No. 29001, successfully bound to this Pokémon】
【Student has not yet obtained Trainer ID, please handle it as soon as possible. If the student has no Trainer ID, the binding will be released after 3 days】
He wasn’t too worried about the Trainer ID. The first thing after school starts seemed to be the Trainer physical exam and the test for the initial Pokémon.
All of Zuo Hang’s Pokémon were caught before he became a Trainer. Theoretically, they were all unregistered, but since Old Man had the ability to send him to White Dragon High School, the unregistered issue would definitely be resolved too.
That evening.
Zuo Hang returned to the dormitory, released Darkrai and Gardevoir on the balcony, and opened the Combat Power Evaluation System on the terminal.
【Darkrai】
Attack: 256
Defense: 200
Special Attack: 325
Special Defense: 199
Speed: 302
Intelligence: 9（Normal human is 10）
Charm: 15（Normal human is 5）
Overall Combat Power: S
Combat Power Evaluation: One Man Army!
【Gardevoir】
Attack: 319
Defense: 216
Special Attack: 383
Special Defense: 361
Speed: 304
Intelligence: 17（Normal human is 10）
Charm: 16（Normal human is 5）
Overall Combat Power: S+
Combat Power Evaluation: War Ghost Unparalleled!
Gardevoir’s Intelligence was actually higher than that of ordinary humans. Zuo Hang was a bit surprised.
After binding the two big ones, Zuo Hang took out Fletchling’s Poké Ball from his belt.
A red light flashed, Zuo Hang extended his hand, Fletchling landed on Zuo Hang’s bent index finger, the terminal scanned it, and Fletchling’s information appeared on the display.
【Fletchling】
Attack: 9
Defense: 4
Special Attack: 4
Special Defense: 3
Speed: 7
Intelligence: 6（Normal human is 10）
Charm: 8
Overall Combat Power: E
Darn, Fletchling’s Charm is higher than that of a normal man. It feels like there’s something wrong with the judgment mechanism for the Charm attribute.
Zuo Hang also bound Fletchling to the terminal, and during image recognition, he specially posed in front of the screen. He hadn’t noticed before, but Fletchling this little arrow sparrow also had some looks.
The head feathers are orange-red, with triangular yellow markings behind the black eyes, the body and wing feathers are gray, the wing tips have some white highlights, a black long tail with “V”-shaped white patterns on it, and the tail forks at the end, giving a sharp arrow feather feel.
Alright then.
Zuo Hang happily accepted the fact that Fletchling’s Charm was three points higher than a normal person.
The terminal still had 9825 Contribution Points. Zuo Hang had gone shopping for some daily necessities in the afternoon.
Just as Jiang Xia said, there were no places in this academy to spend money; all stores only accepted Contribution Points.
Ten thousand wasn’t a lot for Zuo Hang. Although Old Man was sneaky about spending 500,000 on a Pokémon Egg, he gave Zuo Hang plenty of pocket money on a daily basis.
On the surface, he shouted that B Gym didn’t make money, but that man had quite a few businesses privately. Even if life had smoothed his edges and he became a househusband tying a White Apron, Zuo Tian was a real Electric-type Elite Four and wouldn’t really just stay home cooking obediently.
Ordinary Poké Ball 200 bucks, Great Ball 600 bucks, Dusk Ball and Heal Ball such special Poké Balls 1000 bucks. Contribution Points had about the same purchasing power as RMB.
In other words, 10,000 Contribution Points could actually only buy ten Dusk Balls. After deducting daily living expenses and various stamina potions, there wasn’t much left for buying Poké Balls.
Ten thousand bucks was completely sufficient for ordinary people, even with a large surplus each month, but for Trainers, it was a bit lacking.
“Little bro! My Turtwig’s Special Attack is 11 points lol, Senior Student Jiang Xia says 11 points is very high. How much is your Fletchling’s Special Attack?” The terminal suddenly popped up a message from Zuo Rou.
Special Attack 11 points?
Fletchling’s Attack is 9. When playing games before, early upgrades gave +1, +2 such small boosts. Early Special Attack 11 points was probably leading others by one level.
Zuo Rou asked what his Fletchling’s Special Attack was.
Turtwig was a Pokémon with outstanding Special Attack and Special Defense, while Fletchling excelled in Attack and Speed. Comparing Special Attack wasn’t very meaningful.
“4 points.” Zuo Hang replied.
Because his sister asked, he answered.
“Eh?! 4 points? Then I’m 7 points higher than you! Don’t be discouraged, good-for-nothing little bro, sister will carry you.”
Darn, acting all high and mighty now.
Zuo Hang sighed and typed: “Then I’ll rely on sister from now on, protect me well.”
“Don’t worry, with sister covering you, you’ll be walking sideways from now on.”
This was a good sign.
Zuo Rou seemed to be opening up her heart. For treating social anxiety, this was a good start. But Zuo Rou was originally the type who was timid in reality but dared to strike hard online. She would probably still have that shy appearance when appearing in class tomorrow.
But that was fine too. As long as she could step out of her room by herself, it was already a victory.
