"Ding-ling-ling..." In the early morning, some sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains. The tiny dust in the air floated slightly under the light. At the same time, the alarm clock rang.
The boy who was sleeping peacefully in bed frowned when he heard the bell, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling blankly, then he sat up, scratched his hair which became messy from sleeping, yawned lazily, and stretched.
"It's time..." When the boy woke up from his daze, his eyes lit up. Today was the day to receive the new trainer Pokémon, and it was also the day he decided to set out on a journey and challenge the Kanto League.
"It's just..." As if he had thought of something, the slightly excited boy calmed down, frowned slightly, folded his arms, and fell into deep thought, "Should I go to Professor Oak's laboratory on time and choose the Big Three, or wait a little longer and choose Pikachu?"
Before going to bed yesterday, the boy had already thought about this problem. Even earlier, he had started thinking about this problem a few days after he came into this world. But until now, the boy has not figured out this problem.
The three starter Pokémon given by the Alliance have extraordinary potential. Whether it's Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle, these three Pokémon are very suitable for novice trainers, and their final evolved forms are also very powerful, and they can even undergo mega evolution.
But Pikachu is not a simple Pokémon. Compared with ordinary Pikachu, it has enormous potential and is also the protagonist of the animation version.
However... this is not a game, nor an animation, but a living, real world. In such a world, Pikachu is not a Pokémon with great potential. The boy is not sure whether this Pikachu is the same as the animated version of Pikachu.
The most important thing is that this Pikachu seems to have some strange problem. Every time the original protagonist of the animation version, Ash, goes to a new area, Pikachu seems to be reset.
It clearly possesses power comparable to that of a god, yet it was beaten up by a starter Pokémon acquired by a rookie. It doesn't seem like a protagonist at all, nor like a Pokémon that has experienced many battles.
"It would be nice if my system had intelligence…" The young man sighed. In his original world, when he read novels, he hated those intelligent systems very much. He felt that they were just used to pad the word count. But now it seems that an intelligent system can give him suggestions at times like this.
"And my own system..." Speaking of this system, the boy couldn't help but sigh. Other people's systems seemed to be very powerful, but his own system, apart from being able to see the general attributes of Pokémon, seemed to be useless.
"Forget it, never mind, let's have breakfast first. It's still half an hour until eight o'clock anyway..." The boy shook his head, left the room, went downstairs, and went to the bathroom to wash up. As for his mother, because they were a single-parent family, in order to supplement the family income, she would go to the town's ranch to work early, her job was to milk cows.
"Once I get some places in the league competition, mom won't have to work so hard..." Looking at myself in the mirror, I am not very handsome, with messy short dark green hair, but I am good-looking at the same time.
"So... I must work hard!" After washing his cheeks with cold water, the boy patted his face hard to make himself more awake, and then went to the restaurant to eat the breakfast left by his mother.
This young boy was none other than Satoshi, but not really Satoshi. Four years ago, the original owner Satoshi slipped and fell into the water. Although he was rescued, he was already dead. A soul from another world descended into this body and replaced the original owner, becoming Satoshi.
In another world, this world is just a world that exists in comics, animations and games. At the beginning, Xiaozhi didn't know which world this world was. After all, even the Pokémon world has many parallel worlds.
But soon Xiaozhi understood the things in this world. Generally speaking, the trajectory of this world is based on the style of the animation version, but there are also many details that are different from the animation version.
The most obvious thing is the sandwich in Xiaozhi's hand. In the animated version, the food that Xiaozhi and others eat can basically be said to be meatless, because according to the world view, the ordinary animals in that world, except humans, have all become extinct.
But this world is different, or it could be said that it was originally extinct. However, three years ago, the fossil restoration technology made a major breakthrough. The Pokémon League restored a large number of animals and fish through fossils, and cultivated them on a large scale, making ordinary meat popular.
It is precisely these details that make Xiaozhi unsure whether to choose the Starter Pokémon or Pikachu, because there are too many uncertain factors.
"I'm full..." After four years of habit, Xiaozhi also got used to saying this after eating, even if there was no one else around.
After packing up, he sat on the sofa and looked at the clock on the wall. After hesitating for a moment, Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and made a decision. He decided to believe the animation version. If he chose Pikachu, there shouldn't be any problem. Even if there is a problem... Xiaozhi also believes that with his own strength, he can train Pikachu to be better than the animation version.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon it passed the originally stipulated time of eight o'clock, but Xiaozhi did not move. Instead, he continued to sit in the living room. However, his constantly shaking legs revealed his anxious heart.
At half past eight, Xiaozhi stood up suddenly. Half an hour had passed. He believed that even if someone was as late as him, it was impossible that they had not yet gone to the research institute to pick up the Pokémon, so... he should set off.
Without hesitation, Xiaozhi opened the door and walked quickly along the path towards the research institute. There were basically no people along the way. Pallet Town is called a town, but in fact it is just a village. If Professor Oak's research institute was not here, it could not be called a town at all.
Soon, Xiaozhi arrived not far from Professor Oak's Laboratory. He could reach it by crossing a bridge. However, there were many townspeople gathered in front of Professor Oak's Laboratory. These people were the townspeople who came to see the new trainers today, and Xiaozhi knew many of them.
"Xiaozhi, why are you so late? Two people have already received their Pokémon and left, and Xiaomao just went in!" An uncle immediately said when he saw Xiaozhi coming. Xiaozhi usually helps the townspeople with some things, so the townspeople also like him very much.
"I slept late, I'll go in right now..." Xiaozhi didn't know how to explain his reason, so he could only lie. The townspeople nearby also opened a passage to let Xiaozhi in.
