The young man looked at himself in the mirror and the yellow-skinned rodent beside him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had actually transmigrated to become Ash, the protagonist of the Pokémon world, and beside him was the famous Pikachu.
That's right, he wasn't the original young man, but a transmigrator named Alan Walker, a Pokémon enthusiast who greatly admired Ash.
He had been so enraged by the official announcement of Ash's journey ending that he was electrocuted and died, subsequently transmigrating to this world.
"Excellent, since I've been given this chance to transmigrate, I'll forge my own path and become a Pokémon Master!" Ash thought to himself.
As an orphan in his previous life, he had no attachments, which filled him with anticipation for this new world.
Sorting through the memories in his mind, his predecessor had just finished the Silver Conference not long ago and was preparing to depart for the Hoenn region tomorrow to embark on a new journey!
"Ash, and Pikachu, come down for dinner," Delia called from downstairs.
"We know, Mom! We'll be right down."
So, carrying Pikachu, he arrived at the dining table, where the red-haired woman and a clown-like Pokémon were none other than Ash's mother, Delia, and Mr. Mime!
Seeing the delicious food on the table, Ash's appetite immediately soared!
"I'm going to dig in!"
"Pika-pika~"
"Mmm! So delicious!" Ash's eyes gleamed as he ate, and Pikachu nodded in agreement!
"I'm finished! Mom, I'm going to Professor Oak's Laboratory." After eating, Ash stood up and extended his hand, and Pikachu quickly climbed up his arm onto Ash's shoulder.
"Alright, be careful on your way!"
"Got it, Mom."
"Pika-pika~"
[Ding~ Pokémon Achievement System activated!]
On the way to Professor Oak's Laboratory, a "ding" sound suddenly rang in Ash's mind, making him instinctively stop.
"Pika~" (՞ • Ꙫ • ՞) ﾉ??? ? Pikachu on his shoulder looked at the suddenly stopped Ash and let out a questioning cry.
"It's nothing, Pikachu." Ash replied with a smile, then continued towards Professor Oak's Laboratory.
"Wahahaha, as expected, a Golden Finger is essential for transmigration." Ash thought gleefully, impatiently asking, "System, what are your functions?"
[Ding~ Host, the system has three main functions: first, to view all Pokémon information; second, a Pokémon Mall where you can buy all Pokémon items, including Mega Stones and Z-Crystals, using points; and third, achievement missions.
When the host completes an achievement mission, rewards will be granted.
Points can be obtained through Pokémon battles, and the higher the Pokémon's level, the more points earned.]
[System long-term missions include travel achievements:
1. Defeating a Gym earns 1000 points.
2. In the League Tournament, reaching the Top 16 earns 2000 points, Top 8 earns 5000 points, Top 4 earns 10000 points, Third Place earns 15000 points, Runner-up earns 20000 points, and Champion earns 50000 points.]
"Woohoo, we're taking off!" ✧ * ｡ ٩ ( ˊ ᗜ ˋ * ) و ✧ * Ash thought happily.
"System, is there a Newbie Gift Pack (newbie gift pack)?"
[Ding~ No, but as compensation, the system will settle the achievement points for the host's Kanto and Johto journeys.]
[Ding~ Compensatory points for the Kanto journey are being settled, totaling 23000 points.]
"Yay! ε ( * ･ ω ･ ) _ / ﾟ: ･ ☆ Invincible." Ash exclaimed, looking at the points on the virtual panel.
Then he looked at Pikachu on his shoulder and silently thought: "Check!"
[Pikachu]
[Category: Mouse Pokémon]
[Type: Electric]
[Gender: Male]
[Ability: Static (When a Pokémon with this ability is hit by a contact move in battle, there is a 30% chance of paralysis.)]
[Strength: Gym Peak]
[Moves: Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Agility, Thunder...]
[Tera Type: Flying]
[Held Item: None]
Pokémon strength is divided into Normal, Superior, Gym, Quasi-Heavenly King, Elite, Champion, Legendary, Divine, and Ultra-Legendary!
"As expected of Pikachu, its strength is already at Gym Peak, and its Tera Type is actually Flying!"
On the way, he browsed the items in the point mall: a regular Poké Ball cost 200 points, a Great Ball 500 points, an Ultra Ball and other special balls 1000 points, and a Master Ball a whopping 10000 points!
Other held items each required 1000 points, and Technical Machines required 2000 points! However, Legendary Pokémon items were not for sale within the system.
A z-ring, regular Z-Crystal, tera orb, and key stone cost 5000 points, but 50 Tera Shards, Mega Stones, and exclusive Z-Crystals required 10000 points!
The good news, however, was that after using a tera orb, the system would automatically refill its Tera Energy.
Soon, Ash and Pikachu arrived at Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Looking at the red house with a huge windmill in front of him, Ash excitedly pushed open the main door and pressed the doorbell: "Ding-dong~"
Then, Takeshi quickly opened the door for Ash.
At this moment, Professor Oak also walked over, "Good morning, Ash!"
"Good morning, Professor Oak and Takeshi!"
"Ash, are you here to see your Pokémon?" Professor Oak asked with a smile.
"Mhm!" Ash nodded.
Professor Oak then led Ash to the backyard, and Ash began to search for his Pokémon.
"Danan!" A green-skinned frog on all fours was the first to appear before him, with a strange seed growing on its back.
Upon seeing Ash, it excitedly cried out, then fired a Solar Beam into the sky!
"Good morning, Bulbasaur!" Ash greeted Bulbasaur with a smile.
Soon, the ground began to shake, and a group of Pokémon rushed towards them! The fastest among them was Bayleef.
"Beili~ Beili~" Bayleef rubbed itself all over Ash.
Ash happily interacted with his Pokémon.
At the same time, Ash didn't forget to use the system to check their data!
Snorlax, Gym Late-Stage, Tera Type: Normal!
Bulbasaur and Heracross, Gym Early-Stage, Tera Types: Grass and Bug, respectively!
Bayleef, Kingler, Tauros leader, and Noctowl were at Superior Peak, with Tera Types: Grass, Water, Normal, and Flying, respectively!
Muk, Superior Late-Stage, Tera Type: Poison!
Totodile and Cyndaquil, Superior Mid-Stage, with Tera Types: Water and Fire, respectively!
Phanpy was at Normal Late-Stage, with Tera Type: Ground!
Moreover, Cyndaquil was already close to evolving; its strength would at least reach Superior Late-Stage after evolving!
"Professor Oak, this time, for the Hoenn region, I'll take Phanpy!" Ash told Professor Oak which Pokémon he wanted to take.
"Alright! Are you only taking this one?" Professor Oak asked curiously.
When Bayleef heard that it wasn't being taken, it immediately started to "Beili~ Beili~" and begged Ash!
"Alright, alright, Bayleef!" Ash began to coax the jealous Bayleef, which finally quieted down, looking at Ash with pitiful reluctance.
Ash then broke free and answered Professor Oak, "And an old friend!"
"Oh?! Is that so!" Professor Oak nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
He then used Professor Oak's Laboratory's Pokémon transfer device to bring Charizard over!
"Come out, Charizard!"
"Roar~" With a dragon's roar, Charizard made its entrance!!
[Charizard]
[Type: Fire, Flying]
[Ability: Blaze (When current HP ≤ 1/3 of maximum HP, Fire-type moves' power is boosted by 1.5 times.)]
[Strength: Quasi-Heavenly King Initial Stage]
[Moves: Flamethrower, Seismic Toss, Dragon Pulse, Overheat, Air Slash, Dragon Tail...]
[Tera Type: Dragon]
[Held Item: None]
As expected of Charizard, it didn't disappoint him; not only had its strength reached Quasi-Heavenly King, but its Tera Type was actually Dragon!!
"Hey, Charizard! You've gotten stronger again!" Ash greeted.
"Roar~ d = = = = = ( ￣ ▽ ￣ * ) b"
Afterward, Ash bought several TMs and items from the mall to enhance his Pokémon's strength and conduct training!
He also bought a tera orb, a z-ring, and a Normal Z-Crystal for self-defense.
Professor Oak and Takeshi were surprised to see Ash training so earnestly, and Professor Oak was very pleased, feeling that Ash had grown up!
The morning's training yielded great results: Pikachu was equipped with a Light Ball and learned crystallize outbreak; Charizard was equipped with Charcoal and learned Dragon Rush; Snorlax learned Sleep Talk!
Cyndaquil successfully evolved into Quilava, reaching Superior Late-Stage strength! Although other Pokémon didn't make such significant progress, their strength also improved!
At this point, all of Ash's points were used up!
After lunch, Ash didn't continue training with his Pokémon but took Pikachu to Changpan Forest... To be continued...
