Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Author: Salty Fish Night

Summary:

Shidou travels to the Pokémon world and inherits a fighting gym.

He intended to summon a powerful Fighting-type Pokémon to overpower the Elite Four and kick the Champion, but unexpectedly, the system linked to an unknown dimension...

When the light from the first summoning faded, what appeared was not a rare bear apprentice, but a small mantis with a bright green body and sharp arm blades.

Where are the Pokémon we were promised?

This style of painting is totally wrong!

……

As Arceus, the creator god, prepared to destroy the Pokémon world, he descended with the power of the eighteen stone tablets. A golden figure streaked across the sky, blocking the aura of the world-destroying [Pumice Stone].

Arceus: "Hmm? An unknown Pokémon? Fearless ants, the stone slabs are all open, all is nothingness under the law! Hmm... wait? What the heck is this Light-attribute attack called [Celestial River Holy Light Slash]? The stone slabs don't have any related attributes!!!"

Is this...right?

Shi Dou: "I've already said, this is my family's Light Mantis. It only kills divine beasts, not nobodies!"

Pokémon League Kanto Region

……

Looking at the letter in his hand, which bore the distinctive emblem of the Pokémon League, Shidou felt as if the paper weighed a ton after reading it all.

Just a week ago, Tokito wasn't even from this world. He was just an ordinary young man struggling to make a living on Earth, occasionally seeking solace in the Pokémon games.

Shi Dou remembers it clearly. That night, he had just finished working overtime and was complaining about his boss while thinking about going home to hatch a Neos. As he passed a construction site, a red Neos came speeding towards him, and Shi Dou instinctively dodged it.

I thought I had escaped the fate of being transported to another world, but suddenly the ground beneath my feet gave way...

"Who the hell stole the manhole cover again?!"

These were Tokito's last thoughts before he lost consciousness...

As if to compensate for Shi Dou's extremely unfortunate fate, destiny played a huge joke on him.

Instead of falling into the sewers, Shi Dou was swept up by some immense and irresistible "luck," traversing time and space, and plunging headlong into a world he had always dreamed of—

The world of Pokémon.

Unfortunately, this "wonderful world" did not have a wonderful start.

Shidou crashed directly into the forest outside Golden City. Before he could even figure out which way was which, a swarm of startled Beedrills, buzzing with a chilling sound, mistook him for an intruder.

Just as Shi Dou was scrambling and stumbling, almost thinking he was about to become the fastest time traveler to die in history, rescue arrived.

Fighter Nobuhiko and his Machamp arrived just in time, repelled Beedrill, and rescued him from his disheveled state.

Seeing that Shidou was helpless and had an extraordinary passion and understanding of Fighting-type Pokémon, Nobuhiko took him in as an apprentice.

I thought this was fate's arrangement, that I could gain a foothold in this world and even make great strides based on my knowledge of games from my previous life.

However, reality dealt Shi Dou a heavy blow.

The Psychic Gym of Goldenrod City has risen rapidly under the leadership of the genius girl Sabrina. A city cannot have two official gyms, so according to the rules, the two sides must decide who stays and who goes through a battle.

The result was predictable: attribute advantage, no solution.

Nobuhiko's main forces, including Machoke and Sawamura, were utterly defeated by Sabrina's powerful psychic energy.

Devastated by his defeat, Nobuhiko left a short letter entrusting the dojo to Tokito before retreating alone into the deep mountains to train and seek a breakthrough. All that remained were a group of young, fearless warriors and an empty, increasingly desolate dojo.

Life was already difficult after becoming an affiliated dojo.

With the league's review imminent, how could these little guys possibly pass the review? Even if they manage to pass by luck, what will they have to overcome the mountain of super-powered gyms that is pressing down on them?

"Senior Brother Shidou..."

A soft voice rang out, and a girl named Bu Miao, dressed in an apprentice's uniform, walked over with a worried look on her face. "Don't worry too much, there will always be a way."

Bumino was another apprentice that Gym Leader Nobuhiko had previously taken in. He had a gentle personality and did not leave even when the gym was in its most difficult time.

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Bu Miao. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Shi Dou suppressed his sorrow and forced a smile.

After seeing off the cat that kept turning back, the gym returned to silence. Tokito leaned against the cold wall and sighed deeply, feeling powerless under the immense pressure.

"Am I going to end up homeless right after arriving here...?"

Just as Shidou was almost overwhelmed by despair, a cold and emotionless voice rang out in his mind:

[Ding! The host's strong sense of unwillingness to accept defeat and their desire to revitalize the spirit have been detected. The 'Elf Training Project' system is now officially bound!]

This system aims to assist the host in training Pokémon and increasing the popularity of the Gym. Daily check-ins will earn random rewards, and increased Gym popularity will be converted into growth points, which can be used to exchange for rare items in the system shop.

[New player gift pack has been sent, please check.]

[Bonus: One first-time summoning privilege, allowing you to summon a high-potential 'Fighting-type' Pokémon as your partner!]

"A...system?!" Shi Dou was stunned for a moment, then a huge surge of joy welled up in his heart. "There's always a way out! As expected, transmigrators get all the perks. Thank you, System Brother!"

I wonder... whether Cat's Tongzi is up to par.

Following the example of other transmigrators, Shi Dou activated his mind, and a virtual interface visible only to him unfolded. At the same time, a uniquely shaped bracelet with a dark metallic luster quietly appeared on Shi Dou's right wrist. There was a groove in the center of the bracelet, which was now faintly lit, displaying the number [1].

"Right here, I summon... a powerful Fighting-type Pokémon!"

Shi Dou rubbed his hands excitedly, his mind racing.

Which one could it be?

Riolu, the waveguide warrior with unlimited potential?

Or is it the Mega Blaziken that can Mega Evolve and is incredibly cool, and the latest Mega Wrestling Hawkman?

Shi Dou became more and more excited as he thought about it.

If we broaden the scope further, what about Kommo-o, the pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Alola region, which is considered a "late bloomer" alongside other powerful Pokémon like Dragonite, Garchomp, and Salamence?

Or perhaps it's that green onion swinger from the Galar region, the leek on the cover of Pokémon Sword and Shield?

(Brothers, what's my skill level?)

Be bold, maybe he's a legendary martial arts master known for his one-hit-kill or combo-kill styles?!

If all else fails, a Heracross, the Insect King, or a black-haired long-eared rabbit would be just fine too!!!

Just thinking about it makes Shi Dou feel his blood boil.

No matter which one comes, it's a timely help, and Shidou says he will definitely raise it as a brother!

Without further hesitation, Shi Dou concentrated his mind and clicked the only summoning button on the bracelet.

Om-!

The groove on the bracelet suddenly lit up, projecting a screen of light. The image began to flicker wildly, with countless silhouettes of elves flashing by so fast they were almost invisible.

Shi Dou held his breath, hoping that the image would finally focus on a familiar figure.

However, as he looked at it, he felt something was off.

Those fleeting background patterns don't seem to be entirely scenery from the Pokémon world?

And the outline of the vessel that summons... the more I look at it, the less it looks like a Poké Ball, and more like... some kind of high-tech capsule?

"What's going on? This art style... it feels a little different?"

Shi Dou felt a sense of unease, a vague premonition, but the summoning had already begun and could not be stopped.

[Summoning confirmed?]

The system prompt sounds.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

Shi Dou gritted his teeth and clicked "Confirm".

Swish-!

A blue light, unlike the white light commonly seen during Pokémon evolution, flashed past the bracelet—a deeper, more technologically advanced blue light.

As the light faded, a red and white object, clearly shaped like a cylindrical capsule, fell into Shidou's hand with a "thud".

"This...this is...a Pokémon Capsule?" Tokito stared blankly at the container in his hand, which looked familiar yet was completely different. "Does the Pokémon world have Poké Balls of this design?"

Filled with immense confusion and a sliver of remaining hope, Shidou pressed the button on the capsule.

The capsule opened, and a beam of light shot out, condensing and taking shape on the floor.

However, what appeared before Tokito was neither a powerful pseudo-legendary Pokémon, nor a handsome fighter, nor even any Pokémon he recognized.

It was a small, mantis-like creature, 16cm tall, with a bright green body and a pair of sharp green arm blades. At this moment, the little mantis was curiously looking at the dumbfounded human in front of it with its jet-black eyes.

Shi Dou: "???"

Looking at the obviously out-of-place little praying mantis, and then at the dark bracelet on his wrist that the system had given him, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth after a long while:

"What the hell is this thing?! System Bro, you've screwed me over!!! My system is so useless!!!"

Chapter 2: My starting Pokémon is Incaros?

"Ding!"

As if in response to Shi Dou's sarcastic remark, a light screen automatically unfolded around the little mantis, displaying its detailed information.

[Elf: Dahl]

[Source: Seer World]

[Introduction: A powerful Fighting-type Pokémon with unparalleled innate abilities, it is a race highly skilled in combat. No one knows where it originated. It is the initial form of Incaros.]

"Wait... Incaros?"

When Shi Dou saw this name, he was stunned for a moment, and long-buried memories surged out like a flood.

He remembered!

Incaros, also known as the Light Mantis, is a male Pokémon in the game "Sailor Moon" and its derivative works. It is the exclusive Pokémon of Station Master Edward Justin, the first Fighting-type Pokémon, and the Light-type evolution of Hilda. It is also known as the "Light Mantis" or "Light Grasshopper".

Incaros can be considered one of the most mysterious elves in the early days of "Seer". Its appearance and name appeared in the introduction of Station Master Justin when the game was launched. Because Incaros often achieved exaggerated and gorgeous victories in the early story, but its various data has always been a mystery, it has aroused endless imagination among players.
