Chapter 98: The Harmony of Humans and Pokémon
With electricity restored, Zidian City once again returned to a scene of bright lights, with lamps illuminating the dusk.
Inside the Pokémon Center in the heart of Zidian City.
Minun waited with extreme anxiety.
"Creak," the door to the inner part of the Pokémon Center opened, and Nurse Joy walked out, holding a small Pokémon.
"Alright, Plusle has recovered its health."
Nurse Joy sm...
Chapter 97: The Harmony of Positive and Negative
Fighting-types have always been a good choice against Pokémon with hard shells, let alone Magnezone, a Steel-type that is weak to Fighting-type moves.
"@", under Rio's successive blows, Magnezone finally couldn't take it anymore and fell into a state where it could no longer battle.
"Whew—" Letting out a long breath, Rio turned and met the girl's gaze.
The girl, through her protective suit, rev...
Chapter 96: Aura Sphere's Electro-Hammer
Ralts looked worriedly at the young girl and Riolu on the field.
"I wonder if Xiao Zhao and Rio can beat that iron lump... If only I had great strength too..."
A thought different from her usual ones arose in her heart.
Due to Magnezone's sudden appearance just now, Minun had also escaped from the psychic restraint because Ralts was distracted. However, it didn't run far, but instead hid in a corner of th...
Chapter 95: The Real and Fake Culprit
Inside the power plant, it was deathly quiet. All the various machines that should have been running were completely still.
Rio volunteered to walk at the front of the group, extending his Aura to search for the culprit behind the power outage.
"An aura as active as a flash of lightning is Uncle Wattson... that ball of pure, flawless aura is Xiao Zhao... the small, gently flowing aura is Ruru... besides that, there...
Chapter 94: The Sudden Major Power Outage
Two days later.
In a cold drink shop in Zidian City.
A young girl with long azure hair, wearing a casual Poké Ball hat, was currently propping her cheeks with both hands, troubledly blowing bubbles into her lemon milk tea.
"Gurgle, gurgle... So annoying. No matter how much I search, I can't find any information on your Pokémon species, Rio. I can't even learn more about you. And, in such a big city, th...
Chapter 93: The Electric-type Gym Leader, Wattson
"I am the Gym Leader of the Zidian City Electric-type Gym—Wattson."
The white-bearded uncle introduced himself very straightforwardly upon arrival, without any beating around the bush.
"Ah, hello."
Ming Rizhao hadn't expected the Gym Leader she had been searching for for several days to suddenly appear before her, and she seemed a little flustered.
"I've watched your matches these past f...
Chapter 92: Trainer and Pokémon
Croagunk seemed to have anticipated the moment the match whistle would blow. Despite his speed stat not being his strong suit, he actually initiated the attack first.
If he met it head-on with physical combat, there would be an extremely high probability of being poisoned; but if he dodged and fought from a distance, Rio wouldn't be able to display his own strength.
This dilemma was placed before Ming Rizhao and Rio.
Chapter 91: The Combo That Can't Synchronize
The competition continued.
On arena number 3, Rio, with one [Metal Claw], dealt super-effective damage to the opposing Geodude.
Rio was all too familiar with how to battle a Geodude.
He had also learned from the idle chat of the onlookers that in the Middel Region, besides its native Pokémon, there were also countless non-native Pokémon that had been propagated through the movement of people from di...
Chapter 90: A Discordant Note in the Competition
The Pokémon battle arena was somewhat similar to the boxing rings Rio had seen in his previous life. It was a square, raised platform, but it was surrounded by a protective wall and had a place for trainers to stand on opposite sides.
Around arena number 3, there was also a large crowd of enthusiastic onlookers, with men and women, old and young, all discussing animatedly.
The young girl walked up the s...
Chapter 89: The City Full of Electricity
"Huff... huff... huff... huff..."
A tiny Pokémon, out of breath, carried another Pokémon on its back. The Pokémon being carried seemed to be injured, listlessly allowing itself to be carried along.
"...", "..."
After what seemed to be an intense communication, the Pokémon carrying the other stubbornly shook its head and, gritting its teeth, slowly walked forward.
Suddenly, in their field of vis...
Chapter 88: About How to Embark on the Champion Road
It was already dark when they left the reserve.
One person and two Pokémon ambled down the street, and before they knew it, they had arrived in front of that cake shop wafting a sweet aroma.
The old lady was just about to hang the "Closed for Business" sign on the door. Seeing these three familiar faces, she smiled kindly, "Are you little customers here for cake? It's getting rather late, though, an...
Chapter 87: Visiting the Pokémon Ecological Reserve
"So, where are we going next?"
The meal delivered by the hotel staff was devoured by Rio, who wanted to satisfy his craving; Ming Rizhao, who had been hungry for most of the day; and Ralts, who didn't know what was going on but ate because everyone else was eating.
"Hmm..."
Ming Rizhao slumped in her chair and thought for a moment.
"Let's go check out the reserve!"
"This time, I ...
Chapter 86: The Un-recordable Riolu
In a room on the second floor of the Verdant Leaf City hotel.
Rio had already drunk 5 cups of tea, tasted all the complimentary pastries in the room, eaten 3 more Berries, and taken a short nap, before finally waiting for the completely drained Ming Rizhao to wake up.
"Aaaah, I slept so well."
Ming Rizhao stretched out with a big yawn, then greeted her Pokémon with high spirits.
"Good morning, Doggy! G...
Chapter 85: The Darkness Surges Anew
The Pokémon stolen by the poachers were escorted back to the reserve by the staff.
Finally, only the police, who were cleaning up, and Ming Rizhao with her two little companions were left at the messy scene.
After a long day of going to the police station, disguising herself as a poacher, and having a Pokémon battle with Rio, Ming Rizhao was getting a little overwhelmed by sleepiness.
"Hooo, hoo, so sleepy....
Chapter 84: Riolu, I Choose You!, Part 2
Despite the continuous whispers from the surrounding crowd, Ming Rizhao showed none of the stage fright or panic of a rookie Pokémon trainer.
She took a deep breath and immediately issued her first command.
"Ruru, use [Double Team]."
The opening move was to increase her own evasion rate. It seemed Psychic-type Pokémon were indeed quite afraid of other Pokémon getting into close combat, especially a Fig...
Chapter 83: Riolu, I Choose You!, Part 1
Ming Rizhao had already taken off the poacher's long coat. She hugged her Ralts and watched from the rear of the group of Pokémon as the humans busily treated the injured.
When the middle-aged man walked up to Ming Rizhao, a hint of excitement suddenly rose on her originally somewhat sad little face.
"Ah, you, you are... the Gym Leader of Verdant Leaf City, Mr. Norman?"
Hearing the question from this you...
Chapter 82: Young Lady, Let's Cooperate
Among a pack of poachers who were like wolves and tigers, a real "wolf in sheep's clothing" had truly infiltrated.
"This girl is way too bold."
Rio rolled his eyes.
"To act so recklessly with only a lv10 Ralts... Hmm? Ralts?"
The thought of Ming Rizhao's Ralts being only lv10, yet its Confusion move had reached the highest level for her level limit, suddenly sparked a plan in Rio's mind.
"But...
Chapter 81: The Vile Actions of the Poaching Gang
"The light of justice shines upon the land..."
Rio hummed a nonsensical melody, walking cheerfully on the road outside Verdant Leaf City.
"Where should I rest tonight? Hmm, maybe I'll go find my little brother Taillow again?"
As he was thinking, his foot tripped over something.
"What's this?"
A pink wallet lay quietly on the ground.
Rio bent down to pick it up and couldn't re...
Chapter 80: Come, Let's Count Up Your Sins!
Where there is light in this world, darkness will inevitably coalesce and arise. The two accompany each other, together forming the truest face of this world.
Because of this, many different professions exist.
Such as merchants, doctors, scholars, police, scientists, fighters, dancers, and so on, or the series of noble and righteous professions like Pokémon Trainer, Pokémon Breeder, Pokémon Groomer, Pokém...
Chapter 79: The First Encounter
Rio sat in the corner, bored, watching the young girl sighing dramatically, until he saw that Pokémon appear.
"Hmm, this Pokémon, is it a Ralts?"
Seeing this Pokémon that he was quite interested in, Rio couldn't help but open his panel to check.

Chapter 78: Ono's Cake Shop
If one were to ask what Rio missed the most after coming to the Pokémon world and becoming a Pokémon, it would definitely be the various delicacies from his previous life.
Especially since in his past life, he had lived in a country known as a food paradise. From all sorts of cuisines, grand imperial banquets to humble street-side snacks, there was always a favorite for everyone among the dazzling array of foods.
But after...
Chapter 77: A Pokémon Trainer's Battle
Having solved the language problem and simply toyed with the goofy straw hat boy and his Wurmple, Rio walked towards Verdant Leaf City in a cheerful mood.
The further he walked, the clearer the outlines of various man-made buildings became.
The road also gradually widened from narrow and secluded. Among the passersby, some were rushing with their heads down, some were in groups full of laughter like they were on ...
Chapter 76: The Bug Catcher Boy Has a Big Dream
Hello everyone, my name is Ada, and I'm a Bug Catcher Boy.
Don't ask me what the job of a Bug Catcher Boy entails. If you ask, the answer is I don't know.
My daily task is to wear a straw hat my mom wove for me, wear the vest and shorts left over from my dad's childhood, and also carry the bug-catching net passed down through my family for generations, and stand guard on the path that new Pokémon trainer...
Chapter 75: Where's My Freaking Big Wallet?
The next day, the gentle sunlight woke Rio from his slumber.
"Awooo—" Rio lazily stretched his body. After the sleepiness had completely vanished, he lightly and quietly slid down from the tree, not waking the few Taillow still sound asleep.
"Swish, swish."
Parting the grass, Rio walked to the side of the man-made road. He looked at the streetlights on both sides with a nostalgic expression and could...
Chapter 74: Breaking the Limits of Species
Shaking his head, Rio cast aside the chaotic and sorrowful thoughts in his heart, refocusing on the panel before him. There was still a very important piece of information waiting for him.
"Free Attribute Points! A full 5 of them!"
Rio held his breath. As his thoughts turned, a "+" sign appeared behind each attribute on the panel displayed on the light screen.
Joy welled up in Rio's heart.

Chapter 73: New Changes in the Self
On the light screen, besides the three panels Rio was familiar with—[Status], [Pokédex], and [Backpack]—a new, unfamiliar panel had quietly appeared.
"What's inside the [Quest] panel?"
Rio curiously opened [Quest], and the light screen displayed the following content:

Chapter 72: Welcome to Middel
On the central continent of the Pokémon world, the several regions separated by the central mountain range known as the "Spine of the World" were each given different names by humans.
The region located in the east—the "Ist Region"—had a suitable climate, often with abundant rainfall and ample sunshine, thus supporting the growth of vast, lush green forests. Humans relied on the natural wilderness for survival, advocating fo...
Chapter 71: The Battle of the Finale
Without any prior agreement, the two Pokémon vanished from their spots simultaneously.
An azure blue light cut across the sky; a purple and white figure transformed into a meteor.
"Bang," "Bang," "Bang," "Bang," "Bang."
The sound of fists and feet colliding continuously echoed in the air. The azure blue ball of light and the purple and white ball of light made contact in an instant, separated, made contact a...
Chapter 70: The Aura That Crosses Time and Space
Just then, Jerrod's voice came from behind Mewtwo, "Alright, Mewtwo, capture this Pokémon for me."
Mewtwo turned its head, its purple eyes filled with fierceness.
Jerrod once again raised the black Poké Ball, his tone becoming heavier, "I'll say it again. This is an 'order'!"
"…"
After a moment of silence, Mewtwo said coldly, "Noisy! Get out of My sight!"
"What? You dare to disob...
Chapter 69: Psychic VS Fighting, Part 2
Floating in mid-air, Mewtwo, after setting up its psychic barrier, did not idly wait for Rio's attack. Instead, it began to condense dark Ghost-type energy between its hands, rotating it to form an energy sphere.
It was extremely confident that its psychic barrier could not be broken by anything.
But in the next second, this confidence of Mewtwo's was shattered.
Rio's [Metal Claw] stabbed directly into the...
