Chapter 1: The Dawn of a New World
The scent of dew and wildflowers lingered in the cool air.
A soft breeze swept across the open meadow, brushing through the tall grass like a whisper of life. Somewhere nearby, a river murmured softly against its banks, and the morning sky—painted in soft shades of amber and rose—cast a gentle glow over the waking world.
In the heart of that meadow, a young man lay still among the grass. His dark hair was disheveled, his jacket speckled with bits of soil as though he had fallen from the heavens themselves. For a long moment, he didn't stir. Then his fingers twitched, his breathing hitched, and his eyes—deep amber with flecks of gold—fluttered open.
"Ugh… my head…" he groaned, slowly pushing himself upright.
The world tilted and spun before finally settling into clarity. Hills rolled endlessly before him, crowned by a brilliant blue sky. The crisp scent of pine drifted from a nearby forest. And in the far distance, windmills turned lazily above familiar rooftops—rooftops he had only ever seen through a screen.
His heart skipped. "No way… this—this looks like Teyvat!"
He stood up abruptly, scanning the landscape in disbelief. There was the winding stream flowing toward Cider Lake, the green slopes near Springvale, and even the faint shimmer of Anemo energy dancing in the air like dust motes in sunlight. It was unmistakable—the **City of Freedom**, **Mondstadt**, lay on the horizon.
It couldn't be real. It *shouldn't* be real.
As he tried to steady his thoughts, a sudden **chime** rang inside his mind.
A translucent blue screen flickered to life before his eyes—its interface sharp, digital, and impossibly vivid.
> **[Pokémon System Booting…]**
> **Initialization Complete.**
> **Welcome, Nathan Morningstar.**
> **World Detected:** *Teyvat (Post-Celestia Era).*
> **System Purpose:** *Preserve life and harmony through the introduction of Pokémon.*
Nathan stared, speechless. "No way… this is—the Pokémon System?"
The holographic text shifted again, scrolling downward with mechanical precision.
> **Main Missions Activated:**
> ① Establish a Pokémon Center or Shop in Mondstadt.
> ② Spread Pokémon across Teyvat to restore natural balance.
> ③ Study interactions between Pokémon and Visions.
> ④ Prepare for possible anomalies caused by Celestia's disappearance.
Nathan rubbed his temples, still trying to make sense of it all. "Okay, so… I got isekai'd into Teyvat, Celestia's gone, and now I'm supposed to repopulate this world with Pokémon?"
He half-laughed, half-sighed in disbelief. "This has to be a dream."
But the wind was too real—the chill against his skin, the smell of earth and flowers, the pulse of energy beneath his fingertips. Slowly, a spark of excitement replaced his confusion. The thought of exploring Teyvat—with Pokémon—was something he had only ever wished for. And now, that wish had come to life.
The screen blinked once more.
> **Starter Pack Granted.**
> **Contents:**
> – 3 × Poké Balls
> – 1 × Potion
> – 1 × Pokédex (Teyvat Edition)
> – 1 × Mystery Pokémon Egg
A burst of light materialized beside him, and a small satchel appeared in the grass. Its leather surface was embossed with intricate runes, faintly glowing with Anemo traces. Inside were three Poké Balls—sleek spheres infused with swirling green light—and a smooth, crystalline egg.
The egg pulsed gently with warmth, its shell shimmering in **Pyro** and **Anemo** hues, like a living flame breathing beneath glass. Nathan carefully cradled it, feeling the rhythmic thrum of life within.
"Looks like you'll be my first partner," he whispered with a faint smile.
He tapped open the **Pokédex**, and a holographic display projected from its surface, shimmering faintly with teal light.
> *Pokédex Version: Teyvat.*
> *Note: Wild Pokémon do not yet exist in this world. The system will guide you in introducing them to the environment.*
Nathan drew in a slow breath, the reality of it finally sinking in.
"So this is real… Pokémon in Teyvat. And I'm the one who's supposed to start it all."
The wind seemed to stir in response, brushing past his coat like the world itself was listening.
Then a voice called out from behind him.
"Hey! Traveler!"
Nathan turned. Emerging from the treeline was a man dressed in simple hunter's garb, bow slung over his shoulder. His expression held a mix of curiosity and wariness.
"You're not from Mondstadt, are you? Haven't seen clothes like that before," the hunter remarked, stepping closer.
Nathan gave a casual shrug, trying not to sound suspicious. "Yeah, I'm… new here. Just woke up a few minutes ago."
The hunter chuckled softly. "You travelers always show up in the strangest places." His gaze dropped to the glowing orbs clipped to Nathan's belt. "Those… are those Visions?"
Nathan looked down at the Poké Balls and smirked. "Something like that. But they don't hold elemental power—they hold companions. Creatures from another world. I call them… Pokémon."
"Pokémon?" the hunter repeated, brow furrowed.
"Yeah," Nathan said, his grin widening. "And soon, everyone in Mondstadt will know what that means."
The hunter blinked, clearly bewildered. "You sound awfully confident for someone who just woke up in the grass."
Nathan laughed under his breath. "You'll see soon enough."
The morning sun rose higher, bathing the meadow in golden light. Nathan adjusted his satchel, the egg glowing softly in his arms, and set his gaze toward the distant city.
The breeze carried the scent of wildflowers and the quiet promise of something extraordinary. In the hills around Springvale, faint motes of elemental light drifted like embers, as if the world itself were responding to his arrival.
And somewhere above the clouds, beyond mortal sight, the balance of Teyvat shifted—acknowledging the birth of something new, something alien yet wondrous.
That day marked the beginning of a new age.
The dawn of the **Pokémon Era of Teyvat**—
and the first steps of **Nathan Morningstar**,
the boy who would become the first **Pokémon Trainer in a world that had forgotten its gods**.
