Synopsis: Xia Shen, who had been burning the midnight oil playing "Arceus," woke up to find that the Elf Realm had merged with the real world!

Unfortunately, the methods used by the time-traveling predecessors to get rich, such as energy cubes and mega evolution, have already been perfected.

Xia Shen had no choice but to start his unremarkable trainer career from the "Emerald Realm" connected by the Switch.

"Why is your Zoroark fur purple?"

"The little elf was just dyeing it for fun because she didn't know any better."

"Why can your teddy bear evolve again?!"

"Perhaps our bond is too deep..."

Why does your Growlithe look different from everyone else's?

"It was a gift from my friend, what's it to you?"

……

"Wait, this Pokémon... shouldn't it be Silvally...?"

"It's Sildenafil, right?!"

Xia Shen smiled: "Arzex, use the Retribution Lightstone!"

## Chapter 1: About Traveling Through Time Twice in One Day

Xia Shen stared blankly at himself in the mirror, looking ten years younger, with a handsome face full of youthful charm, as if from another world.

Having worked for five years, Xia Shen's ambition had long been worn down. Her recent joy came from the release of the new Pokémon game, Arceus.

I finally waited for the weekend and stayed up all night to catch the boss Zorua that I had been longing for.

I woke up to find myself back in my high school days, ten years ago!

-

"Xiao Shen, are you ready to wash up? Breakfast is ready. Today is your first day of formal Pokémon battle lessons, so don't be late for school." Mom's nagging but kind voice came from outside the door.

Indeed, for Pokémon fans, if there's anything more exciting than being reborn, it's being reborn into the real world where these Pokémon exist.

Xia Shen responded, squeezed out toothpaste, and brushed her teeth haphazardly while organizing the information about this world in her mind.

Thousands of years ago, the mystical realms of elves began to appear frequently around the world, having a tremendous impact on human civilization.

The exact time when humans first tamed elves is unknown, but images of elves cooperating with humans appear in the murals of the earliest ancient civilizations.

In feudal times, humans used an iron device called a "monster device" to control some spirits.

Until the advent of the modern Poké Ball, Pokémon have become an integral part of human society.

Not just trainers who aim to battle Pokémon, but also experienced builders in the civil engineering industry, Blissey in the medical field, and even Chipdos in agricultural work...

Elves have permeated all aspects of society, and elf education has naturally become part of compulsory education.

Like Xia Shen, students who choose the Pokémon major will begin training their own starter Pokémon in their second year of high school, officially embarking on the path of a Pokémon trainer.

…………

"The migration of the Bronze Elephant Pokémon in the Southwest region is still ongoing. The Trainer Association has appointed Fighting Champion Zhong Yang to go to the area to assist in reducing the adverse impact of the Pokémon on local residents."

"Next, let's focus on a set of event news. The 2022 Emperor of Flames Title Battle was successfully held yesterday in Zhijiang City, Jiangnan Province, with the opening battle taking place. Star Kingdom Master-level Trainer Andrew's Volcarona was in excellent form, turning the tide of battle and winning the first battle despite Charizard and Incineroar being unable to battle."

On the television, a female host was broadcasting the morning news in standard Mandarin.

At the dining table, Xia Shen drank porridge while chatting with her parents.

"Xiao Shen, have you decided which starter Pokémon you want? You should have started training them during the summer vacation, but you kept hesitating and kept putting it off until now." Gu Jing was very concerned about the starting point of her son's trainer career.

"Ah, well... I'd like to talk to the teacher about this some more." Xia Shen had just adapted to this changed world and hadn't given this issue much thought.

"Your dad and I discussed it, and we still have some spare money at home. Don't be afraid to spend it. Make sure to choose a good starter Pokémon, preferably the offspring of a professional-level Pokémon."

Listening to his mother's rambling, Xia Shen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

In my memory, the price of an egg from a professional-level Pokémon offspring is at least 100,000, and that's for the relatively weaker Pokémon offspring.

Xia Shen's family could barely afford a Pokémon egg of this level, but the cost of breeding Pokémon goes far beyond just buying an egg...

Thinking of this, Xia Shen rejected his mother's suggestion, "Mom, there's no need to spend so much money on a Pokémon egg. With that money, we'd be better off spending it on training it properly and choosing one that suits us."

"But..." Mom hesitated, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Dad, who hadn't spoken yet, "The child has his own ideas. He's the one who's going to be a trainer, not you. So don't worry about it."

After some communication, Xia Shen finally gained the right to choose his initial Pokémon.

"I'm full." Xia Shen put down her chopsticks, said goodbye to her parents, and got up to go back to her room.

As Xia Shen stuffed her summer homework into her schoolbag, she was about to leave for school when her eyes were suddenly drawn to the Switch next to the bookshelf.

Does this mean that Nintendo is the ruler of the world?

Xia Shen thought with a wicked sense of humor and couldn't resist picking up the Switch to take a look.

The moment Xia Shen touched the game console, everything went black before his eyes, as if he had been electrocuted. He felt dizzy and his consciousness gradually faded.

……

[This transcends time and space; it is my universe.]

A light appeared before his eyes, and Xia Shen heard a familiar voice, authoritative and dignified.

Welcome! I am Arceus, as you humans call me.

Wait, why does this look so much like... the beginning of the game "Arceus"? As Xia Shen slowly regained consciousness, she was naturally familiar with the game she had only started playing a few days ago.

[The world you are about to enter is home to incredible creatures known as Pokémon.]

No, Creator God, what are you doing? You just gave me a second chance at life, and now you're sending me to the next world so soon?

Is it because my performance isn't good enough at the end of the month, and they're dragging me through two trips to make up for it?

These valuable indicators should be given to those who need them!

Xia Shen's inner complaints did not affect Arceus, whose majestic voice continued to ring out.

[Meet all the Pokémon, and then I will reappear before you.]

The alpaca's voice finally disappeared, but a mechanical voice suddenly appeared in Xia Shen's mind.

"Welcome to the legendary world, the Emerald Realm. Time you spend here is separate from the outside world. Furthermore, all the spirits or items you acquire here can be taken outside."

"This exploration will last for ten minutes. After the time is up, you will return to the real world. Have a pleasant journey."

Xia Shen breathed a sigh of relief. So it was a cheat system. At least he wouldn't have to spend his whole life in this uncivilized and dangerous world.

The Sinnoh region is the setting of the Pokémon series of games, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and is also the ancient name for the Sinnoh region.

As Xia Shen relaxed and sorted out her thoughts, a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

So, this means that this place will be a secret realm of elves that belongs only to me and has never been explored by anyone before!

It should be noted that the several elven realms that appeared thousands of years ago are now heavily guarded by several major powers, and the resources inside are basically unrelated to ordinary people like Xia Shen.

And now, there is vast land, rare spirits, and countless resources...

As long as you have enough strength, all of these are within your grasp!

……

Amidst the weightless sensation of falling, Xia Shen recalled the upcoming plot of the game.

You'll encounter Dr. Laben, help him capture the starter Pokémon, and then take the Team Galactic entrance exam.

So... which starter Pokémon should you choose?

While Rowlet is cute, the Green Devil Sniper in its Green form is just... let's pass on that one.

I'll still choose the Otter; its final form, the Greatsword Oni, is incredibly cool!

-

While still lost in thought, Xia Shen fell to the ground with a "bang," but fortunately, he was not in any physical discomfort.

After flying for so long, I fell and was completely unharmed. Even if I were a super-fast alpaca now, I probably couldn't do that. It could only be thanks to the help of some alpaca.

Slowly opening his eyes, Xia Shen did not see the three starter families of Xi Cui and Dr. Laben that he had expected at the beginning of the game.

Instead, they were a group of... pink-haired, humanoid fox spirits with red eyes?

Xia Shen recognized it at a glance; it was his favorite Pokémon in the game Arceus, Zoroark in its Emerald form.

But why do these little cuties look so creepy...?

Hey, hey, hey, the script's not right, system!

## Chapter Two: This Zoroark never went to school

Even before Arceus was released, Xia Shen was drawn to Zoroark in its Emerald form from the promotional video.

Whether it's a cute and adorable little fox or a cool and edgy pink-haired fox demon.

Who could resist getting close to these adorable little ones?

Now, looking at the foxes in the desolate wilderness and the snow-covered landscape, Xia Shen recalled his naive self back then and felt like crying.

"System, are there any newbie gift packs?" Xia Shen asked for help from his cheat system in his mind.

"Congratulations on receiving Arceus Phone x1 and Poké Balls x50." The system coldly and ruthlessly distributed the beginner items.

The items are the same as what you get at the start of the game, but this is a hellish start for me!
