One hundred years ago, the world changed.
Spatial cracks appeared across the globe.
From within them, creatures called Pokémon crawled into reality.
At first, war erupted.
Humanity lost catastrophically.
Later, some humans formed special contracts with certain Pokémon. Peace was gradually established.
Over time, Pokémon fully integrated into human civilization.
They powered transportation.
Assisted in medical treatment.
Helped build cities.
Even wars over global resources were settled through Pokémon battles.
The Pokémon League was born.
World Championships became the ultimate stage.
…
Deep inside Viridian Forest.
A teenage boy in blue casual wear stood calmly, commanding a battle.
In front of him—
Was a Pikachu.
But not an ordinary one.
It wore a black cloak embroidered with red clouds.
The word "Akatsuki" was stitched across the back.
A slashed Konoha forehead protector rested above its eyes.
Its pupils were crimson.
"Uchiha form. Activate Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Shuriken attack."
The Pikachu's red eyes shifted—
Three black tomoe rotated within them.
Its expression turned cold and focused.
Three chakra-forged shuriken formed in its paws and shot forward at terrifying speed.
Across from it—
A Butterfree had no time to react.
The shuriken pierced through the air.
Instant knockout.
The Butterfree collapsed, unconscious.
A notification echoed in Gu Qiu's mind.
[Your Pika-Itachi defeated Butterfree.]
[Gained 32 EXP.]
[Level increased to 61.]
Gu Qiu allowed himself a small smile.
"Level 61… Finally."
Level 61.
That marked entry into the Heavenly King tier.
In this world, reaching Heavenly King level meant one thing—
You were no longer weak.
You had the power to protect yourself.
"Pika."
The Pikachu responded calmly, personality eerily similar to Uchiha Itachi himself.
Gu Qiu chuckled.
"You did well, Itachi."
He took out a golden candy.
The moment Pika-Itachi saw it, its cold composure shattered instantly.
It leapt into Gu Qiu's arms excitedly.
Despite its aloof battle demeanor, it had one weakness—
Golden sweets.
Especially those from high-end dessert shops.
Gu Qiu opened the system interface.
Only he could see it.
Pokémon: Pikachu
Trait: Ninjutsu (Unique)
Attributes: Electric + Fire + Wind + Water + Yin + Yang + Dark (Uchiha Template – Unique)
Aptitude: Primary Legendary Tier
Level: 61 (Heavenly King Tier)
Skills: Thunderbolt, Agility… Fireball Jutsu, Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, Shadow Clone Jutsu, Amaterasu, Susanoo…
Yes.
Gu Qiu was a transmigrator.
He had been in this world for eighteen years.
And he had a system.
His beginner gift pack had given him a mutated Pikachu—
One fused with Uchiha Itachi.
It could use ninjutsu.
Possessed the Sharingan.
Even Amaterasu.
Even Susanoo.
At the time, Gu Qiu had seriously questioned whether he'd arrived in the wrong universe.
Fortunately—
There was no Naruto anime in this world.
Otherwise explaining things would have been awkward.
The system had three major functions.
First:
Pika-Itachi's level-up rewards granted Gu Qiu chakra.
When Pikachu leveled up, Gu Qiu could claim chakra energy.
"Claim."
A surge of power flooded into his body.
[Chakra level has reached Kage-tier.]
Kage-tier strength.
That was Gu Qiu's true hidden card.
As long as he wasn't reckless, most criminal organizations—
Like Team Rocket, Team Aqua, and others—
Wouldn't dare provoke him easily.
Second:
A shop system.
Using Poké-dollars, he could purchase various Pokémon-related items.
So far, no strange cross-world imports had appeared.
Aside from this absurd Pikachu.
Third:
A mission system.
Periodic tasks would appear. Completing them granted rewards.
Failure?
No punishment.
Gu Qiu looked at Pika-Itachi in his arms.
A Heavenly King–level Pokémon.
Kage-tier chakra.
And senior year of high school about to begin.
He exhaled slowly.
"This world is dangerous."
"But now…"
"I finally have the qualifications to step onto the real stage."
Viridian Forest's wind stirred.
The Akatsuki cloak fluttered.
And somewhere in the distance—
A new era was quietly beginning.
