"Please forgive my intrusion, powerful Pokémon Trainer…
"My master greatly admires your strength and therefore invites you to a grand banquet to be held in Pokémon Castle on New Island in ten days. Powerful Pokémon Trainers from all over the world will be present… "
After making your decision, please fill out the reply form.
"This is an invitation sent to you by the strongest Pokémon Trainer; please be sure to attend."
As the virtual projection disappeared from the electronic card, Xia Mu stood there dumbfounded.
Looking at the enormous, orange-yellow Dragonite before him, with its thick limbs, two antennae on its head, and a sharp horn, Xia Mu was speechless.
Was this the start of the main storyline?
And who the hell said Dragonite was cute?
Come out here, I promise I won't kill you.
In the anime and games he'd seen before, Dragonite was indeed the chubby, cute type, at least not ferocious.
But the real Dragonite before him was...incredibly burly...it was terrifying.
If he hadn't already been in the Pokémon world for ten days... Having gained sufficient understanding and overcome the initial adaptation phase, otherwise, how could he have reacted so quickly?
Naturally, Dragonite is a minor matter now; the invitation is the bigger issue.
As a transmigrator, Xia Mu is extremely knowledgeable about everything in the Pokémon world.
He wouldn't say he knows everything about this real world, but he's intimately familiar with everything involved in the anime, manga, and games.
Being a veteran player, he has memorized the anime and manga storylines.
The first thing Xia Mu immediately thought of in this situation was the story of Mewtwo's rise to power.
This was a trainer invitation sent to him by Mewtwo.
As the first artificially created legendary Pokémon and the first legendary Pokémon to appear in the initial storyline, Mewtwo's dominance was undeniable at the time.
Although later legendary Pokémon appeared one after another, making Mewtwo's claim to be the strongest somewhat tenuous, its power remains among the top.
"Awoo awoo~~"
The low growl of Dragonite reached his ears, bringing Xia Mu back to his senses.
It stirred up memories of his past life.
That roar was indeed from Dragonite, practically devoid of any dragon-like nature.
"Are you urging me to make a choice quickly?" Looking up and meeting Dragonite's gaze, Xia Mu suddenly had an idea: should he use a Master Ball to capture it directly?
This was a pseudo-legendary Pokémon!
Through the cheat-like simulator he carried with him, he could see a series of data about this Dragonite.
[Dragonite]
[LV: 58]
[Gender: Female]
[Type: Dragon, Flying]
[Nature: Jolly]
[Ability: Inner Focus (Possesses a trained spirit, will not flinch from an opponent's attack, and remains unmoved by intimidation.)]
[Moves: Tail Whip, Leer, Roost, Extreme Speed, Wing Attack, Agility, Rain Dance, Hurricane, Thunder Wave, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Dragon Tail, Slam, Aqua Tail, Dragon Dive, Outrage, Safeguard.]
[Friendship: 0 (Never met before, be careful what you say)]
[Mood: Impatient (Forced to become a messenger dragon, forced by Mewtwo's tyranny to run around delivering invitations)]
...
Undoubtedly, this Dragonite's stats show it has top-tier potential.
The only question is its individual values (IVs), which he, as its trainer, can only see once it becomes his Pokémon.
'Awoooooo~~' Another urging call rang out.
Although he couldn't understand it, Xia Mu roughly guessed what Dragonite meant: If you don't make a decision soon, I'm leaving.
Its impatience was palpable, and the following note undoubtedly reflected Dragonite's true feelings.
"It's really in a hurry," Xia Mu couldn't help but mutter, weighing the pros and cons and suppressing his urge to capture Dragonite.
He took out the reply letter, filled it out, and handed it to it.
Just as he was about to say something more, Dragonite put the reply letter away and suddenly flapped its wings, soaring into the sky.
Its speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye it was just a black dot, disappearing without a trace.
"Is that the speed of circling the Earth once in 16 hours? No wonder I chose you as my messenger; I would have done the same," Xia Mu remarked, standing there in awe.
After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh. He
had inadvertently gotten caught up in this mess, and he didn't understand why Mewtwo would even notice someone as insignificant as him.
It seemed he was just leveling up his Pokémon in the wild.
"It feels like I've won the lottery, tsk~ Actually, even if I filled out the form, it wouldn't matter if I didn't go, since they won't come knocking on my door anyway. What a waste of this Dragonite..." Muttering to himself, Xia Mu suddenly felt a pang of regret.
He really wanted to catch this Dragonite.
But then he thought about how even if a Master Ball could do it, the Dragonite wouldn't obey him after he caught it... After all,
his trainer level was too low. Even if he had a lot of game battle experience, he wouldn't be able to control it without a powerful enough Pokémon.
Naturally, what he feared most was that the Dragonite was currently Mewtwo's messenger. If he caught the Dragonite and attracted Mewtwo, that would be disastrous.
If he had two Master Balls, he might dare to...
Unfortunately, his imagination was far from ideal.
He only had one Master Ball.
This was automatically placed in the simulator's storage space after the cheat simulator was activated.
Besides the Master Ball that he was reluctant to use but which was indeed all-powerful,
he also had five ordinary Poké Balls, five bottles of healing items, and a random Pokémon.
To be honest, having this Master Ball is like playing games in my past life—I always want to save it for later, but I'm always reluctant to use it.
Of course, his cheat simulator is already pretty good.
With the Master Ball's 100% catch rate, it's like starting with a royal flush; he can catch legendary Pokémon easily.
He just doesn't know the difference between this real world and the game world.
As for where the cheat simulator came from,
Xia Mu has been pondering it.
He's certain that before he transmigrated, he was playing a newly downloaded Pokémon game, thinking it was a brand new game. But as soon as he opened it, he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented…
and woke up in this world, becoming Xia Mu.
It was sudden, and it's hard not to think about the game as the reason, but transmigration is a fact, so he can only accept it.
And based on what he's learned these past few days, his system seems a bit abnormal.
Aside from specific functions, it doesn't provide any proactive prompts.
Simply put, it's like a single-player system after disconnecting from the internet; once bound to him, he has to control everything himself.
…
Regaining his composure, Xia Mu focused his attention back on Mewtwo and began to rethink the early plot of the Pokémon world.
