Wearing his way into the Pokémon world, Rowan—who didn’t have one of the three starter Pokémon—began his journey as a “commoner-style” Trainer. You ask what “commoner-style” means? Why, of course it means starting out in Eindoak with Victini as his initial partner. “I just don’t get it. How can there even be such a thing as a ‘commoner-style’ route after transmigrating into the Pokémon world?” Thinking back on all those grim and tragic “commoner-style” Pokémon fanfics he had read before—where the protagonist was either some low-level member of Team Rocket or a starving drifter who could barely afford food—Rowan felt utterly speechless. He could only complain that fanfic authors knew nothing but how to torture their protagonists, with no regard for logic at all. It was as if they had watched the anime and played the games for nothing. They ignored so many opportunities, only knowing how to stay in their tiny little patch of land and match wits with native villains. “Ogerpon from Kitakami, Diancie from the Diamond Domain, that big-headed rabbit from the Crown Tundra, Magearna and Volcanion from the Azoth Kingdom…” “Even if I have no money and no status…” Rowan said, “I’m still going to start from zero and become the guy with Legendary Pokémon!”
