Ambushing Cosmog from the Start - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Two Little Nebulas Delivering Themselves

The other little Nebula floating in mid-air saw its companion having so much fun that it grew curious too.

So, it flew down from the sky, found another Poké Ball, and started playing with it.

“Whoosh…”

A flash of red light—this little Nebula was also sucked into the Poké Ball.

But soon, it broke free and popped back out.

The two Nebulas, utterly absorbed in their game, completely ignored the unconscious Chen Nian. They… were completely lost in their fun.

……………

About five minutes later, Chen Nian, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

Unlike before he passed out, his originally pitch-black pupils now held faint, barely noticeable dark golden crosses!

The system had already explained everything to him, why the Poké Ball had flown into his mind, why he had lost consciousness.

This Master Ball… was a gift from the system!

And whatever Pokémon he captured with it, he would gain all of that Pokémon’s abilities!

In other words, he was now a human-shaped, self-moving legendary beast with powers identical to Necrozma’s.

He had essentially gained godlike psychic abilities and other powers in an instant…

………

Chen Nian’s excitement at this moment was beyond words…

Moreover, during his unconscious state, his “golden finger” (cheat ability) had officially activated.

Now, Chen Nian finally understood exactly what abilities this golden finger had granted him!

…………

No Side Effects: Any skill used by a Pokémon he captured would have zero backlash. Moves like Hyper Beam, which normally cause recoil or paralysis, could be spammed effortlessly by his Pokémon.

Team EXP Share: Even if his Pokémon didn’t participate in battle, they would still gain experience—similar to the Exp. Share in games, but without any restrictions.

Inspection Ability: He could now assess a Pokémon’s potential and analyze items. This was the first ability he had awakened.

Master Ball’s Power: The Master Ball given to him could guarantee the capture of one legendary Pokémon, allowing him to copy its template and load it onto himself.

Aside from these four main abilities, the golden finger seemed to have even higher-tier functions waiting to be unlocked. But for now, he had no idea how to activate them, so he didn’t dwell on it.

Shaking his head, Chen Nian stood up from the ground, and that’s when he saw them.

Two wild little Nebulas… playing with the Poké Balls he had dropped?

And having the time of their lives?

…………

Watching the two happily playing Nebulas, a strange thought crossed Chen Nian’s mind.

Was his luck just too good?

He had come to the Kunlun Mountains hoping to catch one legendary Pokémon, and now, not only had he succeeded, but two more wild Nebulas were right in front of him.

So… should he catch them? Or should he catch them? Or was he absolutely obligated to catch them?

………..

As a transmigrator, Chen Nian clearly remembered some key traits about Nebulas.

Baidu Encyclopedia had once described them like this:

“Cosmog (Little Nebula) is extremely curious. It does not fear any person or Pokémon and quickly grows attached to those who care for it. However, due to its nature, it often finds itself in dangerous situations.”

In short, Nebulas were incredibly easy to win over, fascinated by everything…

So much so that you could probably lure one away with a lollipop!

If he left them here, given their nature, they could easily fall into danger, whether from malicious humans or other evil Pokémon.

So, whether for his own sake or theirs, keeping the two Nebulas by his side was the most responsible choice.

………

With that thought, Chen Nian stretched out his hand toward the two little Nebulas.

“Hey, little ones… come here for a sec.”

Perhaps because Chen Nian had assimilated Necrozma’s power, the two Nebulas felt an unusual closeness to him. His body now carried traces of Ultra energy, making them flutter right into his palm without hesitation.

Seeing how friendly they were, Chen Nian reached out and gently rubbed their gaseous bodies.

The two Nebulas squinted in delight, clearly enjoying his touch.

“How about becoming my companions? I’ll take care of you from now on…”

“That way, nothing can hurt you anymore!”

“Want to think about it? If you agree, just hop into this Poké Ball, okay?”

As he spoke, Chen Nian raised one of his Poké Balls with a smile…

………….

A few minutes later, Chen Nian—now the proud trainer of two little Nebulas—walked down the mountain with immense satisfaction.

This trip had been insanely profitable. No wonder people said fortune favors the bold.

And what he had gained… was far more than just wealth.

………..

Just as Chen Nian descended the main peak of Kunlun Mountain and passed by a high-altitude lake halfway down, his footsteps suddenly halted.

In his line of sight appeared a familiar figure.

By the endless lakeside, a beautiful girl was running in panic—

As if fleeing from something.

And in her arms… was that a Mini Dragon?

Wait… wasn’t that girl Jiang Shuying, his classmate from school?

Why was she here?

……….

Just as Chen Nian was puzzled over this, several men in black suits rounded the corner, chasing after her.

“Keep running!”

“Little girl, weren’t you fast earlier?”

“Why stop now?”

Jiang Shuying had reached a dead end, one more step, and she’d plunge into the lake’s depths.

The black-suited men smirked, their expressions mocking.

“Hand over the Mini Dragon, girl.”

“Be obedient, and we might let you go… Otherwise…”
