Where dreams start, Pallet Town in the Kanto Region.
"Ash, don't you typically sleep longer? What made you wake up so early today?"
Delia, who was both intellectual and gentle, offered Ash a glass of milk which he devoured eagerly.
In one swift motion, Ash downed the contents of the cup. Solaceon, on the other hand, used his arm to wipe away any traces of white milk that had stained his lips.
"Mom, it's crucial that we collect the Earl Dervish Pokémon and commence our journey today. Being tardy is not an option."
"Ash, you has grown up so much now. If you travel by yourself like this, it can give peace of mind to your mother."
There was a look of satisfaction on Delia's face.
"Mother, I've had enough to eat. Before anything else, I'll stop by Professor Oak's place. Expect me to come back with the trophy of the Indigo Plateau Conference."
Wearing his classic hat, Ash packed his bag and departed from home towards Professor Oak's Laboratory without hesitation.
As he made his way, he organized his thoughts that were still somewhat unclear.
Lin Zhi, a traveler through time, adopted the identity of Ash- also known as the male protagonist in the Pokémon anime.
Because of the confusion in the womb, It wasn't until this morning that I became aware of the knowledge gained from my past life and received the usual time traveler's Golden Finger.
Learning that he had been transmigrated to the world of Pokémon as the lead character and armed with a powerful system cheat left Lin Zhi feeling incredibly thrilled.
Despite being Ash, he has no intention of committing too many suffocating cerebral thrombosis operations like his previous foolish behavior. He is determined to amend the regrets from his past experiences.
Avoid any involvement with roles like release master, reverse attribute master, level-clearing master or a character that remains unchanged for ten thousand years and others of the same sort.
Xiaozhi organized his jumbled thoughts before directing his gaze towards the system interface.
My name is Ash Ketchum.
Title: N/A.
There is no beauty present.
Pokemon: Zero.
Special Abilities: None
Mission: Current task is to make it on schedule to Professor Oak's Laboratory and gather the Earl Dervish Pokémon known as Pikachu.
Upon completion of the mission, not only will Earl Dervish's favorability towards you increase but you'll also be rewarded with a Pikachu-exclusive item known as the Light Ball. Carrying this prop doubles both your attack and special attack capabilities.
Situated on the fringes of Pallet Town, Professor Oak's Laboratory encompasses a vast expanse that resembles an expansive estate rather than just a mere research facility.
Despite being punctual, Ash was the final one of the four Trainers to reach today from Pallet Town.
They have chosen the Earl Dervish Pokémon and begun their journey.
It was Charmander and Bulbasaur.
Ash's childhood playmate and adversary, Rival Gary, is still present. His stunning girlfriends have been parked by the sports car outside of the laboratory for quite some time now.
Upon Ash's arrival, a subtle expression of happiness crossed his face accompanied by a touch of conceit. He had an unkempt, rebellious hairstyle with spiky locks.
"Is this not our Late King Ash? Although you are not Latetoday, the Earl Dervish Pokémon have regrettably been secured by myself and others who arrived before you."
Gary's voice held a tinge of sarcasm. In the past, Ashwould have likely engaged him in an argument over it.
Ash has changed.
"Master Gary, do you care about me?"
"I couldn't care less about you, fool. My concern lies solely with the possibility of some imbecile shedding tears over failing to obtain Earl Dervish Pokémon. Rest assured that I will emerge victorious in the Indigo Plateau Conference and trample all over you without hesitation. It would be tiresome if it were too effortless to defeat you - where's the challenge in that?"
Hurriedly explaining, Gary resembled a cat whose tail had been accidentally stepped on.
[Activate the mission signal, "achieve a higher rank than Gary at the Indigo Plateau Conference and convince the opposing party".
Upon completing the mission, you will be rewarded with a Potential Enhancement Ribbon (Bronze). Utilizing Pokémon that fall below Elite potential is capable of elevating their level by one.
Three Intermediate Rare Candies can increase the level of Pokémon under Lv50 by one.]
Seeing that Gary had triggered the task for him, Ash's eyes became kinder and he gave Gary a look that said, "Brother, please don't explain, I understand."
With a pat on his shoulder, he made his way towards the interior of the laboratory.
Ash is becoming more and more hateful and unforgivable!
Gary felt insulted by Ash's calm reaction akin to that of an adult playing with a child.
Is it not appropriate for Ash to leap and address him as "Pie Mao"?
Will you cease chastising Master Gary?
Do you look down on me?
Just wait for Master Gary's wrath to fall upon you at the Indigo Plateau Conference.
With his cheerleading girlfriends accompanying him in a sports car, Gary shook his hair haughtily before driving off.
Professor Oak is already here, waiting inside the laboratory.
Beside him lies a tool holding three Poké Balls that are red and white.
"Hey Ash, glad to see you! We've got three Earl Dervish Pokémon for today..."
When Ash arrived, Professor Oak said.
As he was speaking, he noticed that Ash had opened each of the three Poké Balls one by one and completed the procedure.
He shot him a second glance that conveyed the message to proceed.
Starting the trip has made Xiaozhi, this kid, feel much more mature than before.
If I had discovered earlier that there wasn't any Earl Dervish Pokémon, I would have started yelling.
Professor Oak thought to himself, and then spoke.
"As you can see, the Earl Dervish Pokémon I prepared were all taken away by other Rookie Trainers who arrived first."
As Professor Oak spoke, he watched Ashclosely for signs of anxiety and panic. However, to his disappointment, there was none reflected in the latter's expression.
He curled his lips once more, thoroughly disappointed.
Nowadays, Gary and Ash are not really cute at all as children.
"Professor Oak, kindly provide me with other Pokémon options aside from Catterpie."
A sincere look was cast by Xiaozhi.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Professor Oak felt a bit of relief.
He has been paying a significant sum of Alliance coins for breeding every year since birth. Therefore, if he intends to offer Rookie Trainer inferior Pokémon such as Catterpie, the Alliance must hold him responsible.
"I have a Pokémon with a very strange personality here. Trainers have tried to get it before, but they failed. Ash, do you want to give it a try?"
There is no doubt that it's the God of Skin.
Doesn't Trainer's odd personality come to light when I prefer giving them a thunderbolt over entering Poké Balls?
Master Ash will take action, regardless of its consequences.
A fresh Poké Ball was produced by Professor Oak, which he proceeded to unlock.
In front of them stood a Pikachu with an endearing appearance, albeit sporting some unpleasant sparks on its cheeks due to being trapped inside the Poké Ball.
[The mission has been accomplished, resulting in an elevation of Pikachu Earl Dervish's likability and the acquisition of a unique prop, Light Ball. The said reward is currently stored in the system space for retrieval at any time. Please note that once taken out from storage, it cannot be returned.]
Ash's mind naturally registered the completion of the task.
Pikachu's eyes lost half of their hostile expression.
What about the remaining fifty percent?
That belongs to Professor Oak.
It's alright.
It's my first time writing a book, so please support me.
