"Ding! You have completed the hidden mission: Mr. Fuji's Request! Mission rewards: [Garchompite], Technical Machine [Hyper Beam], [Dragon Fang], Gold Bottle Cap x1, Silver Crown x3, [????], [Pokémon Flute]."

"Ding! The first five rewards are distributed by the system, and the last two rewards are personally given by Mr. Fuji."

"The rewards for this mission are quite generous. Is it because the enemy was so powerful?"

Eddie narrowed his eyes as he pondered the situation. He had expected an ordinary reward, but he never anticipated receiving so many valuable items.

"When I think about it more carefully, this makes perfect sense. Although the enemy's Gastly could have been handled by Kangaskhan, I was actually facing the combined threat of Gary and Koga."

"Gary alone would have been manageable. However, when confronting Koga, I'm certain I would have been defeated without the power of Viridian. Fortunately, I encountered Sabrina this time, which saved me from having to reveal my trump card."

That was absolutely correct. If Eddie had attempted to fight alone, he would have been forced to use the power of Viridian and battle with everything he had.

He would have definitely emerged victorious using that approach, but his greatest secret would have been completely exposed to both Team Rocket and the Elite Four.

The Dragon-type Elite Four member Lance also possessed the power of Viridian. Agatha would have certainly recognized that his ability was also the power of Viridian.

As for Team Rocket, unless Eddie had eliminated Koga completely, the ninja would have definitely reported back to his boss upon returning. Given Giovanni's ruthless personality, Eddie was certain the crime boss would have personally hunted him down immediately.

The timing wasn't right yet. The consequences of exposing his trump card would have been far too serious. He needed to wait until his strength improved significantly.

Those who believed their trump cards made them invincible and carelessly exposed them without thinking were the type of reckless individuals who typically died very quickly in this dangerous world.

Nobody was a fool. Once enemies confirmed you were a threat and witnessed your growing strength, they would definitely eliminate you when the danger became too great to ignore.

If you possessed a trump card that enemies remained unaware of, you could live much more peacefully. After all, enemies wouldn't know your true capabilities and would consistently send inadequate forces to deal with you.

When that happened, you could simply eliminate them one by one without showing any mercy.

However, if you completely exposed your trump card to enemies, they would simply send opponents you couldn't defeat even after using your ultimate ability. At that point, you could only lie down and wait for death.

This was precisely why Eddie had never used his trump card carelessly. The only exception had been in Viridian Forest, where he could ensure he would completely eliminate the enemy.

During his encounters at Mt. Moon against Koga, on the S.S. Anne in Vermilion City against Lt. Surge, and now in Lavender Town against Agatha, Eddie had never been one hundred percent certain of killing his opponents, so he had refrained from using his power.

Of course, there were also situations where he felt confident he could defeat enemies without revealing his secret. After all, if he could overcome opponents through other means, why would he foolishly expose his trump card unnecessarily?

If his life had been in genuine danger, he would have used his power regardless of the consequences. However, since there hadn't been any situations where he faced certain defeat and death, why risk using it?

"However, while I understand what most of these rewards are, what on earth is that [????]? The system just gives me a question mark, and apparently it was given by Mr. Fuji personally."

To be completely honest, Eddie was familiar with almost everything in the Pokémon world, but he couldn't possibly determine what this mysterious item represented when it was simply displayed as a question mark.

"Forget it, I'll set it aside for now. Since it's something given by Mr. Fuji, I should go to him first and ask what it actually is."

Eddie delivered Gary to the Pokémon Center for treatment, then made his way to Mr. Fuji's Pokémon House.

Because Eddie was the "hero" who had solved the Lavender Town Pokémon Tower incident, exposed the conspiracy of a certain evil Trainer, and defeated that malicious individual while freeing Lavender Town from its curse, he was treated with great respect.

Heroes always received preferential treatment in situations like this.

As a friend of the hero, Gary's medical treatment was arranged as the highest priority.

Indeed, laughter from children had returned to this town that was famous for its memorials and burial grounds.

Eddie was naturally treated as a hero, and several previously mind-controlled Trainers expressed their heartfelt gratitude to him for his brave actions.

The only regrettable aspect was that Agatha's cruel experiment had lasted for an entire month, and there had always been some Trainers and their Pokémon who had died before Eddie's timely arrival.

However, there was absolutely nothing he could have done about that tragic situation.

Eddie himself didn't possess some magical ability called "Resurrection of the Dead," so he couldn't save those who had already perished.

Regarding the severely damaged Pokémon Tower with its destroyed upper floors, the repair work was being handled jointly by the Pokémon Center of Lavender Town and the dedicated townspeople, so Eddie didn't need to worry about those logistics.

The Pokémon House was also quite bustling at this time. Although the Pokémon Center was spacious, there were simply too many people and Pokémon who needed to be rescued from this incident, so some Pokémon naturally had to wait for treatment.

Fortunately, the Pokémon House also possessed many medical facilities, and Mr. Fuji had proactively volunteered to share the responsibility of treating injured Pokémon.

Consequently, the building was extremely lively at this moment, and it could honestly be said that it was filled to capacity with Pokémon receiving care.

However, this busy atmosphere didn't affect Eddie's purpose. He was currently chatting with Mr. Fuji in the comfortable living room.

As the head administrator of the Pokémon House, Mr. Fuji didn't have to personally care for every Pokémon himself.

"Not bad at all, not bad at all. You managed to solve this entire matter almost perfectly. You're truly young and promising," Mr. Fuji said with obvious satisfaction.

Mr. Fuji appeared genuinely happy. He had come to regard Lavender Town as his second home over the years. He was naturally overjoyed about the completely restored peaceful atmosphere that had returned to the community.

"This is the Poké Ball containing Kangaskhan. I'm returning it to you now. Thanks to its help, otherwise you might not be seeing me right now," Eddie said as he carefully took out the Poké Ball and handed it back to Mr. Fuji.

He wasn't exaggerating in the slightest. Even with the power of Viridian at his disposal, he would have definitely fallen under Gastly's relentless attack without Kangaskhan's crucial assistance.

Alternatively, when he had first entered the ground floor of the Pokémon Tower, he might have been directly beaten into unconsciousness by Sabrina's psychic powers.

Well, that scenario was entirely possible. Although he certainly wouldn't have died from such an encounter, his mission would have ended there in complete failure.

"Alas, even with Kangaskhan by my side, I couldn't go to the Pokémon Tower to solve this incident myself, so this accomplishment is still entirely your credit. I'll give you the promised reward shortly," Mr. Fuji sighed deeply.

He seemed genuinely dissatisfied with his own inability to resolve the incident personally, while also expressing admiration for Eddie's remarkable abilities.

According to his original expectations, Eddie might have been able to solve this dangerous problem, but he would never have emerged completely unscathed. After all, Mr. Fuji knew exactly how powerful and dangerous the enemy had been.

Mr. Fuji walked over to his wooden desk, opened the drawer, and fumbled around inside before retrieving three distinct items. He then brought them over to where Eddie was sitting.

The items consisted of a small, mysterious crystal, a recording device with a Poké Ball attached to the bottom, and a standard Poké Ball.

When Eddie's eyes fell upon the small crystal, his pupils contracted with recognition.

How interesting. It turned out to be that particular item, and it had appeared much earlier than he had expected in the timeline.
