Pokemon: My Pokemon Has a Tailed Beast Template

Chapter 242 242: Absol’s Choice and a New Journey

"Come on, little guy. Eat."

Sam placed an energy cube in front of Absol, then crouched down and quietly watched it.

This Absol was clearly a bit undernourished and very shy. It had taken Sam several days just to build enough trust for it to approach him.

As soon as it tasted the energy cube, Absol's eyes lit up. It had been wandering alone for so long—this was the first time it had eaten something this delicious.

"Absol, do you want to travel with me?" Sam asked.

"If you come with me, you'll get to eat good food like this every day."

His tone sounded suspiciously like someone trying to lure a kid away with snacks.

But Absol wasn't foolish. It understood what "traveling together" meant.

After thinking for a moment, it nodded.

Absol hated being alone. Nights were always the hardest—wandering under the stars with no one beside it, the loneliness felt overwhelming.

It wanted companionship.

Seeing Absol agree, Sam finally relaxed.

He had grown quite fond of this Absol. It had been silently following him, warning him of danger without asking for anything in return.

A truly kind-hearted Pokémon.

After accepting Absol, Sam activated his system to scan its stats.

[Pokémon]: Absol

[Type]: Dark

[Strength]: Elite (Beginner)

[Potential]: Gym Level

Its potential wasn't particularly high—only Gym level, which was the lowest among all the Pokémon Sam had caught so far.

But Sam didn't care.

At his current level, raw talent wasn't the most important thing anymore—compatibility was.

With the system, he could always find high-potential Pokémon. But finding one that truly connected with him? That was rare.

Besides, not every Pokémon needed to be a frontline fighter.

Absol's disaster-predicting ability alone made it incredibly valuable.

Just as Sam was about to close the system, a notification suddenly sounded.

Another mission?

Sam's interest was instantly piqued.

The system rarely gave tasks now, but when it did, the rewards were incredible. It had already given him a Plate—at this rate, it felt like it might hand him Arceus next.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new Pokémon: Absol."

"Compatibility between Absol and the Five-Tails Jinchūriki template detected: 97%."

"Fusion process initiated…"

"Ding!"

"Fusion complete. Absol has obtained the Five-Tails template."

Sam froze for a moment.

He had almost forgotten—this was a Tailed Beast Fusion System.

Issuing missions wasn't its main function. Giving Pokémon powerful templates was.

Absol's strength began to surge rapidly.

Elite Mid-Level…

Gym Beginner Level…

Elite High-Level…

In less than half a minute, Absol had jumped from Elite Beginner to Elite High-Level.

If anyone else had seen this, they would've started questioning reality.

At the same time, Absol's body underwent a massive transformation.

Its once slightly frail frame became powerful and well-proportioned. Its white fur gleamed brilliantly, its limbs grew strong and defined, and its size now far exceeded that of a normal Absol.

The blade on its head shone sharply, and an overwhelming aura radiated from its body.

It now looked like a true elite predator.

Absol tilted its head, clearly confused by the sudden changes.

Sam gently stroked its fur.

"Relax. It's fine. Nothing's wrong."

He took out a Poké Ball he had prepared earlier.

"Go rest for a bit."

He recalled Absol.

Ash and the others would be back soon, and explaining everything would take too long. Sam decided it was easier not to let Absol appear in front of them for now.

After landing on an island in the Orange Islands, Sam parted ways with Ash and his group.

After completing the Orange League challenge, Ash, Misty, and Brock planned to continue traveling to Shamouti Island.

Meanwhile, Sam was heading to Four Island.

Four Island was one of the Sevii Islands—the fourth island, and also the smallest.

It was also the hometown of the Kanto Elite Four member Lorelei.

Sam's destination this time was to visit her.

Watching Ash and the others leave, Sam felt a strange sense of unease.

"Shamouti Island…"

The name felt familiar.

He frowned slightly.

"Whatever… it should be fine."

They had just gone through the Rayquaza incident. Even if something else happened, it shouldn't be so soon.

Not overthinking it, Sam left the airport, found a harbor, and released Lapras.

Riding on its back, he set off toward Four Island.

At the dock, Lorelei had already been waiting.

When she saw Lapras approaching from the distance, a warm smile appeared on her face.

At the same time, Lapras also spotted her.

After being separated for so long, it could no longer contain its excitement. It sped up and rushed toward her.

"Long time no see, Lorelei."

Sam climbed off, wringing seawater from his clothes, then shot an annoyed look at Lapras.

In its excitement, Lapras had completely forgotten he was still on its back—and had nearly thrown him straight into the ocean.

Lapras looked embarrassed, sticking out its tongue and lowering its head shyly.

"Let's go to my place first," Lorelei said with a smile.

Following her, Sam arrived at her home.

It was… nothing like he expected.

He had imagined something elegant and refined, fitting for someone like Lorelei.

Instead—

The entire house was decorated in soft pink tones.

Cute plush dolls were scattered everywhere—on the sofa, chairs, and even the tables.

If Lorelei hadn't personally brought him here, Sam would've thought he had walked into the wrong house.
