Chapter 1: A Perfect Start

"Student, it's your turn to go in."

A strange voice whispered in his ear. Aron shook his head slightly and turned to look aside.

He found himself in a minimally decorated room, with huge posters hanging on the walls. The lettering on them was clearly visible: Welcome to the Pokémon Breeder Center.

Standing in front of Aron was a tall, smiling young woman in a black work uniform, a badge on her chest reading Job Number 016, Lilian Flores.

Aron frowned slightly and was about to speak when a faint pain surged deep within his brain. Countless pieces of information poured into his mind like a relentless tide, overwhelming his thoughts.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still. The professional smile remained on Aorn's face as he quickly processed the flood of information.

After a while, Aron looked somewhat dazed and let out a quiet sigh.

Yes, he had transmigrated to a Pokémon world.

But this Pokémon world was somewhat different from the animated version he had imagined.

According to historical records, the origins of Pokémon could no longer be traced. Only glimpses of ancient Pokémon remained in sporadic ruins.

However, Pokémon and human civilization were deeply interconnected, advancing together through the long course of history.

In modern times, there were no regions like Kanto, Johto, or Hoenn, and no Ash, Gary, Misty, or other familiar characters from the anime.

This was a completely separate Pokémon world, unrelated to the animated series.

Fortunately, the progress of human civilization remained consistently impressive. In this world, there were Pokémon Leagues,Champions, Gyms, and familiar Pokémon battles.

What surprised him most was that,the original owner of this body was also named Aron. He was born into a prestigious family in Southern Riverland City.

His grandfather is a well-known elite in Easton territory today, having guarded Southern Riverland City for decades and ranking among the top elites.

His father is the head of the Psychic Gym in Southern Riverland City.

His mother is a renowned Master Breeder in Easton and a professor at Southern Riverland University.

The original owner, born into such a top-tier family, was arranged to attend a prestigious school from a young age, enjoying top-level teachers.

He lived up to everyone's expectations, ranking first in his class every year.

However, Aron was obsessed with learning due to this pressure and had little interest in Pokémon battles. His goal was to become a Pokémon scholar.

Now that the college entrance examination was over, Aron's self-assessed score was nearly perfect. He confidently applied to the Department of Research at Imperial University, awaiting the admission letter.

After the college entrance examination, it was time for the coming-of-age ceremony, which included receiving a Rookie Pokémon.

In Easton, the college entrance examination was linked to this ceremony.

After passing the exam, one gained the right to legally train Pokémon.

As a student of a prestigious school,Aron had the right to receive a Pokémon for free at the Pokémon Breeder Center.

Aron didn't want to accept it at first, but his father's words eventually persuaded him.

"Even if you want to become a Pokémon scholar, scholars often venture deep into the wild and secret places for research. This process requires the protection of Pokémon."

With that, Aron came to the Pokémon Breeder Center to choose a Pokémon to protect him.

At that moment,Aron recalled another intriguing memory.

"The Smith family has few members, and each family member receives a Psychic Pokémon upon reaching adulthood."

"The original owner's grandfather began preparing the Pokémon some time ago, but why is there no definite news yet?"

Pressing these doubts to the back of his mind,Aron quickly composed himself. He raised his eyes, nodded slightly to Lilian, and said, "Okay."

The original owner's personality was relatively introverted, gentle, and quiet.

During this time, Aron needed to be cautious around acquaintances, maintaining an expressionless face and speaking little. Over time, he could gradually change his personality.

However, there was no need to pretend excessively when dealing with a stranger like Lilian.

"Please," Lilian gestured forward and opened a gate, revealing a lush green grassland.

"This is the Grassland Area," Lilian introduced, extending her hand.

To ensure Pokémon grew healthily, the Breeder Center restored their wild living environment as much as possible, rather than confining them in small greenhouses.

Aron nodded, observing the vast grassland teeming with Pokémon. There were also boys and girls of his age picking their Pokémon.

As a student from an aristocratic school, Aron had special staff guiding him, a privilege ordinary students did not enjoy.

"Let's talk as we walk," Lilian suggested, opening her mouth slightly.

"Okay," Aron agreed with a nod.

The two stepped onto the soft grass.Aron looked around calmly, though his heart raced with excitement.

This was a live Pokémon!

"Student Aron, this is Bulbasaur. It has a gentle temperament and is very suitable for a Rookie Trainer like you." Lilian pointed to a Bulbasaur lying lazily in the sun.

Aron glanced down. It was a green Pokémon, somewhat resembling a four-legged toad, with scarlet eyes, short limbs, and bulb-shaped seeds on its back.

Pokémon: Bulbasaur (Grass/Poison)

Ability: Overgrow

Qualification: quasi-Gym

Level: Lv5 (Rookie Level)

Aron's eyes flickered as he squinted slightly, calmly observing the light blue information panel in front of him. It displayed specific details about this Bulbasaur.

'Is this the system panel?'Aron thought to himself, maintaining his composed expression.

The system was an essential feature that every traveler couldn't avoid. Without it, moving forward would be difficult.

Having transmigrated,Aron wasn't too shocked by the sudden appearance of the system.

He immediately began analyzing the information on the data panel.

In the Pokémon world, Pokémon strength was categorized as Rookie, Normal, Intermediate, Advanced,semi-Gym, Gym, semi-Elite, Elite,Champion, and Legendary levels.

Pokémon qualifications matched these strength divisions. In the original owner's memory, assessing a Pokémon's aptitude was often challenging.

Judgment required evaluating the Pokémon's growth development status, attribute energy concentration, and other subtle factors.

The better the Pokémon's qualifications, the higher its potential.

Because every Trainer hopes to get a Pokémon with better qualifications,the profession of Pokémon Appraiser come into being.

But,even a top Pokémon Appraiser in the industry couldn't boast about never misreading a Pokémon.

But to Aron, it didn't matter,because current him could see the potential of a Pokémon accurately.
