I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

"Stop! I heard everything you said!" Yang Xiying interrupted directly, now he considered the woman's voice to be that of the woman in front of him.

—How come nowadays anyone can transmit their voice into his brain?

"Anyway, thank you very much for your rescue. As for the trainer... Miss Azure Blade Demon, this should be our first meeting."

Yang Xiying stood up, dusted herself off, and was speechless as she recalled what the other person had said earlier. She looked around.

The commotion seemed to be caused by the Azure Flame Blade Demon, so much so that the surrounding Pokémon were somewhat hesitant to approach.

That way, the young man wouldn't be disturbed while he was doing what he wanted, so he organized his thoughts and asked the other party.

"Yes, but I am indeed your Pokémon, and you are indeed my trainer," the voice of Blademaster echoed in my mind once again.

"Then why do you ask me if I'm your trainer?" Yang Xiying's expression was strange. This guy was contradicting himself!

[It looks cool on TV... cough, because it feels more ceremonial, since this is our first time meeting in person.]

"It feels like you've known me for a long time."

Yang Xiying's face fell. This person was unexpectedly unserious, but there was a lot of information in that sentence!

"Because I've always been by your side as a shadow," the woman's voice rang out again, "but only now do I have the chance to meet you."

what?

"Azure Blade Demon is a Pokémon I created using a part of your soul as its source," the voice of the god echoed in my mind once more.

"A soul?" Yang Xiying was startled, and then the god's voice came again, "[I originally intended for you to choose one of the starter Pokémon from the nine generations.]"

However, their levels are all limited to level five, which is completely inadequate for the current situation, and you can't command them if their levels are raised.

Therefore, I have no choice but to transform a portion of your soul into a Pokémon, so that it will obey your commands no matter how high its level is.

[It's just that the type of Pokémon you get is largely up to chance; you might get a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, or you might get a Bug or Rat as your starter Pokémon.]

[But realistically speaking, you're quite lucky; you have Blaze, a very popular Pokémon from the Crimson Era.]

In that case, I guess I'm quite lucky...

Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. The Azure Flame Blade Ghost had a certain strength, but it was no match for things like the Evil Ghost, the Thunderous Vajra, the Hairy Sister, and the Rich Man.

But it's still better than a speaker-like bug... and given the popularity of the Azure Flame Blade Demon, a future buff isn't impossible.

Give Octopus Barrel, Pelipper, Torkoal, and other similar creatures an extra useful ability... and maybe change their base stat distribution.

"I see... Well then, please take care of me from now on, Miss Azure Flame Blade Demon. My name is Yang Xiying."

After chatting with the god, Yang Xiying turned his attention to the Azure Flame Blade Ghost and began to introduce the Pokémon for the first time.

"...I understand, my lord. Just give the orders, and I'll tell you what to do next."

"That's a very formal title... But this isn't a good place for casual conversation. Let's leave here and find a safe place to stay."

Yang Xiying was still a little stunned when she heard the address from the other side, but after looking around, she realized that setting fire to the mountain would land her in jail for life, so she slipped away.

[Your command is granted.]

……

Hey God, do you know where we are right now?

Yang Xiying walked through the forest with Cangyan Rengui, and because of the latter, there were almost no guys who came to cause trouble.

So they could walk leisurely, and the young man took the opportunity to contact God. This time he didn't speak, but simply imprinted what was said in his mind.

Previously, the other party could see what I was thinking, so now I can use that to talk to them, otherwise it would be too awkward.

[Route 1 in the Kanto region] As expected, the god sensed the young man's thoughts and gave a direct response.

[Huh? Route 1? Are the Pokémon around here a bit too high-level?] Yang Xiying was stunned after hearing the god's voice.

He'd heard of this in the Pokémon games, in the beginner stages of the Red, Green, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen versions, where the Pokémon level was less than ten.

But what's going on here?! The Pokémon he saw on the road before, even the Caterpie and Metapod on the tree, were all level 10 or higher.

Yes, Yang Xiying can see the levels and even the health bars of the Pokémon around her; this is a new system feature after obtaining her starter Pokémon.

With the Eye of Insight, Pokémon abilities and attributes can be displayed in your field of vision as data, just like in the game.

However, this only applies to Pokémon that you have captured. For others, you can only see their level and HP bar. For example, with Blaze, you can see most of its information.

Blue flame blade ghost

Gender: female

Rating: 60

Attributes: Fire + Ghost

Personality: cheerful

Individual: Rank V (excluding Special Attack) (31)

Props: Aura sash

Ability: Shattered Armor

Skills: Regret Sword, Sword Dance, Close Combat, Shadow Ambush, Guard, Hold On, Shared Fate, Taunt, Mental Blade, Bodybuilding...

This stat panel would be roughly equivalent to the near-perfect Grandmaster level for him, so it's reasonable that no Pokémon around him dared to cause trouble.

After all, the highest level I've encountered so far is only around level 30 Rattata, but it's still pretty ridiculous that they're appearing on Route 1!

Even HeartGold and SoulSilver, which can only be used in the Kanto region later in the game, are the same! Route 1? Champion Road!

[Yes, I am a little worried about the future trainers in Pallet Town, but there's no need to worry about it.]

While you can use games as a reference, games are ultimately just games and different from reality. It's sometimes better to see things with your own eyes.

【Right. 】

I saw the cat bug biting Rattata's neck in the grass, and the grass-type Kirby and Peashooter subspecies resting under the tree.

Yang Xiying nodded subconsciously. Aphelios, Oddish, and Bellsprout didn't seem like Pokémon that would appear on Route 1.

To achieve this in the game, you would need to mix together several versions of FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Pikachu, and Eevee.

If I play Route 101 and Route 201 music here, will I run into some kind of positive-electric-patting, negative-electric-patting cat monster?

[Besides, with the high-level Azure Glaive I gave you, the Pokémon around you, averaging level 20 or 30, won't cause much of a fuss.]

So now you should think about what you need to do next. I've finished my beginner's guide for you.

"Is it considered a beginner's guide if I encounter Pokémon that are already in their twenties or thirties right from the start?" Yang Xiying's expression was subtle.

—This is already considered mid-game progression in Pokémon...

[It was an accident, purely an accident. The sudden spacetime tremor was something I didn't anticipate, but at least I took remedial action, didn't I?]

"Then why didn't you move me to a safe area first and then do anything about it?" The young man's expression became even more complicated.

He had wanted to ask the other side why they couldn't teleport him to a safe zone.

[Because after seeing Pokémon, I felt that instead of letting you rest and recuperate in a safe zone before venturing out, it would be better to let you train directly in the wild.]

【Huh?】Yang Xiying's reaction was just like that of a certain dragonfly with a pompadour, as the god continued to speak.

[After all, this kind of development is smoother, so the novel's plot doesn't have to be as bland and monotonous as a typical fantasy epic.]

[I unexpectedly found myself in another world, triggered a crisis right from the start, and then awakened my powers—what a classic plot twist!]

[Didn't the recent "King of Kings" prove that the way of the king never goes out of style? ...Or are you watching Kamen Rider Goku Fox?]

[Isn't the classic Pokémon storyline about choosing one of three Pokémon from the professor, battling a rival, and then embarking on a journey to become the champion?]

Yang Xiying's face was blank. He was speechless at the reason given by the other party. This guy was definitely a comedian on par with the Yuchong King!

But no matter what world you're in, you won't have any close friends, let alone formidable rivals.

"That's true," Yang Xiying, who was squatting under the tree, suddenly became quite depressed, which prompted the god to quickly change the subject.

"Hey, there's no need to be so down. We're letting you start this adventure so quickly so you can adapt to the pace here more easily."

After all, Route 1 also features Lillie waiting for you to rescue her, and encountering a princess in the forest is one of the classic developments.

"And if you keep going down like this, those big birds over there will peck your butt," the deity suddenly changed the subject.

?

"My lord! A powerful aura is approaching!" The voice of Azure Flame Blade Demon echoed in Yang Xiying's mind, and she finally reacted and turned her gaze in that direction.

Ga——!

The cries of birds and beasts came from the sky. It was a large bird with a red crest, a long beak, and brown feathers, but the feathers were arranged in a rather messy manner.

The scar on its left eye looked quite menacing, and Yang Xiying, who knew what it was, understood its danger.

Finch! A beaked Pokémon, the evolved form of Spearow, with a fierce and dangerous personality, and its level: 60!

"The way I stumbled upon an eye right from the start is just not the best setup!"

Seeing the thing flapping its wings and rapidly approaching from afar, Yang Xiying was also speechless! This really is the road to the championship!

P.S.: This is my first book! Please add it to your favorites and vote for it!

NO.4 VS Ho-Oh's second-ranked Finch (not really)!

"Gah——!!!"

The Big-Mouthed Sparrow arrived above Yang Xiying and Azure Flame Blade Demon, flapping its wings to accelerate its flight. Its speed was so fast that it was dazzling!

His figure constantly darted through the air, stopping in all directions around himself and Azure Flame Blade Demon in the blink of an eye, seemingly searching for the best opportunity to attack!

[It seems we have trespassed into their territory, and... there is no possibility of reconciliation. My lord, please give the order!]

At the same time, the Fire Swordswoman's voice entered the young man's mind, and her words suddenly gave him the feeling of entrusting a great responsibility to Yang Xiying.

"…!" This left the young man somewhat stunned, although he now understood that wild Pokémon had jumped out…

But which of the four options—battle, Pokémon, backpack, or run away—do I have to choose?!

However, given the opponent's dazzling speed, it seemed impossible for me to escape; it appeared my only option was to fight them head-on...

"Gah——!!!"

The big-billed finches finally stopped a few dozen meters directly above Yang Xiying, and almost instantly, their bodies began to spin rapidly like a top!

Its surface was also coated with a layer of silver at this moment, forming a drill bit capable of shattering anything. That thing rushed towards the youth like a meteor!

Straight-thrust drill!

Upon seeing the opponent's actions, those three words immediately popped into Yang Xiying's mind, after all, the drill effect was exactly the same as the Pokémon move in the game!

[During Pokémon battles, if you give a command after your opponent uses a move, the priority decreases over time. Currently, your opponent's priority is +1.]

The sudden appearance of the god's voice also caught Yang Xiying off guard!

[But even if I give the command at the same time, the Azure Flame Blade Demon's attack speed still can't outpace the Great Mouth Sparrow of the same level!]

Different Pokémon have different battle abilities; some are fast, some have high attack power, and some have a lot of health.

In Pokémon games, this translates to HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, with base stats determining their maximum value.

Just like the Sparrow, which has a base stat total of 442 but a Speed ​​stat total of 100, while the Azure Blade has a base stat total of 525 but a Speed ​​stat total of only 85.

Therefore, the speed of Big Mouth Sparrow is basically faster than that of Azure Blade Demon of the same level. If the priority is increased by 1, even if the Fire Swordswoman is fast, she will not be able to get past!

The same applies in real life, since all moves have a pre-attack animation, so Yang Xiying chose the move with higher priority!

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Hold the line!"

At the young man's command, the Azure Flame Blade Demon instantly raised its twin swords, crossing them to protect its head! A verdant light barrier opened!

Without any warning, the young man and the fire swordswoman hid inside the semi-circular barrier, blocking the falling metal drill!

Protect is a move that allows a Pokémon to completely block an opponent's attack. It has a priority of +4, so it can block even if the opponent's move now has a priority of +1!

Bang--!!!!!!

The two collided violently, and the shockwave spread in all directions, snapping several large trees a few meters away with a deafening sound!
