Pokemon: My Fate System Is Too Overpowered!!

"It's nothing special. My Froakie is great, but it's not that rare."

Surrounded by a group of enthusiastic girls, Ryuu maintained his usual calm and friendly demeanor.

After all, he had an image to uphold.

He wasn't just the top student or the best-looking guy in school.

He was also known for being approachable.

Arrogance?

That wasn't his style.

For a while, he chatted casually, but then—

A chill ran down his spine.

Something felt… off.

There was an oppressive aura pressing down on him.

He turned around—

And there she was.

Aoi.

Sitting at her desk.

Silently watching him.

Her expression?

A smile.

But not just any smile.

This was the kind of smile that sent shivers down your spine.

A smile that screamed danger.

---

Oh, crap.

Aoi was jealous.

Big-time.

Ryuu knew her too well.

Ever since childhood, he had been constantly surrounded by admirers.

And every time he spent a little too much time chatting with other girls—

Aoi would get jealous.

But instead of lashing out or getting angry, she did something far worse.

She would activate her ultimate weapon:

Charm Mode.

And that?

That was something Ryuu feared more than anything.

Because when Aoi turned on the charm, she didn't hold back.

She didn't get mad—

She just made things so unbearably sweet and affectionate that it became pure psychological torture.

And now?

She was about to strike.

---

"...Uh, I should get back to my seat," Ryuu muttered, quickly escaping the crowd.

Aoi was his desk partner, so he had no choice but to face her directly.

As soon as he sat down, she leaned in slightly, tilting her head.

Her soft voice carried a subtle edge.

"Ryuu-kun~ your Froakie looks so strong. It's so healthy~"

Ryuu winced.

Yep. Here we go.

Her voice was sickeningly sweet, laced with dangerous affection.

His survival instincts were screaming at him to run.

But before Aoi could ramp up her attack, the classroom door swung open.

Their homeroom teacher stepped inside.

"Alright, everyone. Now that you've received your starter Pokémon, today's classes are over. You may all leave for break—but don't forget, the Trainer Entrance Exams are coming up soon."

---

The room erupted into cheers.

"Finally! I can't wait to show my dad my Oddish!"

"My Geodude is gonna be a beast! I'm training it all break!"

Since it was now the end of the semester, this meant an extended vacation.

When they returned, it would be the final semester of high school—which meant intense training.

After all, the Trainer Entrance Exams weren't just about academic scores.

The most important part?

Pokémon battles.

Strong Trainers got into elite schools.

Weak Trainers?

Forgotten.

---

"Aoi, heading home for break?"

Ryuu casually grabbed Aoi's wrist, stopping her from leaving.

She blinked in surprise.

And then—

Her cheeks turned pink.

Just a few minutes ago, she had been pouting with jealousy.

Now?

She was completely flustered.

Her earlier frustration vanished in an instant.

All she cared about now was that Ryuu was holding her hand.

Her mind was racing.

Did this mean something?

Was he finally making a move?

---

The moment was instantly ruined.

A loud voice boomed across the room.

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! HOLD UP!"

Ryuu turned just in time to see one of their classmates dramatically pointing at them.

"Are you two finally making it official?!"

The whole class erupted into chaos.

"No way! School idol and school ace, together?!"

"Hold on! My romantic hopes haven't even begun, and it's already over?!"

"I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS! RYUU, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL FOR AOI!"

Aoi immediately hid her face in her hands, completely embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Ryuu just rolled his eyes.

"None of you have a say in this. Go home."

The entire class booed.

---

As Ryuu and Aoi left the classroom, he suddenly spotted someone walking toward them.

Watanabe Shun.

And in his hands?

A Torchic.

Ryuu almost burst out laughing.

So Shun actually picked Torchic?

And not just any Torchic—the defective one Ryuu was originally meant to get.

That thing's potential was garbage.

Horrible stats. Slow growth. Barely any chance of evolving.

Shun was screwed.

Ryuu was tempted to say something, but honestly?

Shun had already suffered enough.

So instead, he just walked right past him, completely ignoring him.

---

Shun froze.

His entire body stiffened.

…Did Ryuu just ignore him?

After all this time, after all their rivalry over Aoi—

HE DIDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE HIM?!

Shun's blood boiled.

He refused to be humiliated like this.

"HEY! I'M CHALLENGING YOU TO A BATTLE!"

Ryuu stopped in his tracks.

He turned back slowly, smirking.

This guy was serious?

A Fire-type Torchic…

Against his Water-type Froakie?

And not just any Froakie—an Elite-grade Froakie?

This was going to be pathetic.

---

Shun's lackeys immediately tried to talk him out of it.

"Uh, Boss… are you sure about this? He has a Froakie, and, uh… you have a Torchic."

"Yeah, maybe we should, like… train a little first?"

Shun ignored them completely.

He had already made his decision.

Too many people were watching.

If he backed down now, he'd never live it down.

Even if the odds were bad, he had to try.

He had to prove that raw skill mattered more than type advantage.

"We're fighting on the school battlefield. Whoever doesn't show up is a coward!"

With that, Shun stormed off.

---

Aoi tugged on Ryuu's sleeve, looking a little concerned.

"Ryuu… are you sure about this?"

He chuckled.

"Don't worry. It'll be over fast."

Aoi's worried expression melted away.

She clenched her fists, her voice serious.

"Then… win for me!"

Ryuu's smirk widened.

"Of course."

---

"LET'S GO!"

"CLASS 1 VS. CLASS 3, LET'S SEE WHO'S BETTER!"

"THIS IS A BATTLE FOR HONOR!"

The entire class erupted into chaos, hyping the battle up like it was some legendary showdown.

Suddenly, this wasn't just a duel between Ryuu and Shun anymore.

It had become a battle between their classes.

Ryuu just shook his head.

"This is gonna be way too easy."

And with that—

He stepped onto the battlefield.
