A glint flashed in Aaron's eyes as Guzzlord's information panel appeared before him:

...
Aaron's eyes narrowed sharply when he read the description of Guzzlord.
The natural enemy of Pokémon!?
A dangerous creature that specifically hunts Pokémon!?
Are the Ultra Beasts of this world really this terrifying!?
They're completely different from the Ultra Beasts in his memories from his previous life.
"I really can't rely too much on my memories. This is a real world after all!"
"I almost got killed by my own experience-based assumptions..."
Aaron took a deep breath and muttered to himself,
"It seems this world is even more mysterious and dangerous than I imagined."
Then he turned his gaze to the severely injured Charizard lying on the ground, and its stats panel appeared before his eyes:
[Name: Charizard]

[Description: Charizard, a Fire-type Pokémon and the evolved form of Charmeleon. The more battles it experiences, the hotter the flames on its tail become.]
...
"Holy shit."
When Aaron saw this Charizard's stats panel, a classic Chinese curse slipped right out of his mouth. His pupils suddenly contracted.
Champion-level potential!
Apotheosis-level skill (Flamethrower)!
Three Perfect-level skills!
Aaron was stunned. This was the only Pokémon he had ever encountered in the wild with such potential and an Apotheosis-level skill.
He turned his gaze toward the Insight Stone in the valley, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.
"So there's another Insight Stone here!"
"No wonder this Charizard has such insanely high skill proficiency."
"Ding~ Triggered Quest: Capture Charizard!"
"Look at that powerful physique and those bulging, spirited eyes. It has immense potential. It's a rare show-off Pokémon."
"Capture the Charizard to complete the mission."
"Mission Rewards: Lightning Release: Chidori (Skill Card) x1, Pokémon Candy (Elite) x1."
At that moment, the system's enthusiastic voice rang in Aaron's ears, causing his eyes to light up.
"This Charizard... I must capture it!"
Aaron felt a surge of excitement.
If he didn't capture such a top-tier Charizard, he would truly be struck by lightning.
Plus, his system inventory contained the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic spellbook, which was perfectly suited for Charizard. It was simply perfect!!
He forcibly suppressed his excitement, ran over to Charizard, took out a healing spray, and treated it.
"Charizard... Don't move, let me heal you."
Aaron looked at Charizard earnestly as he spoke.
Surprisingly, Charizard remained unusually quiet, nodding slightly at Aaron, a hint of something unusual flashing in its gaze.
"Psssssh—"
Aaron sprayed the healing spray onto Charizard's wounds, and soon, its injuries began to heal at a visible pace.
The most amazing thing about this world is its healing capabilities. It's practically a game-breaking feature. As long as a Pokémon isn't dead on the spot, the Pokémon Healing Center can bring it back to life. These healing sprays are also insane…
The Charizard, which had been unable to stand moments ago, was now able to rise again.
"Roar..."
With a look of joy on its face, Charizard let out a low growl at Aaron, as if showing gratitude for the rescue.
A faint smile appeared on Aaron's face.
This is a great start! Better build up some goodwill first!
Deeply grateful to Aaron, the Charizard had no idea that the human standing before it was already plotting against it!
