The Pokémon Tournament will officially begin in one year, and this competition will be broadcast live nationwide."
"…"
The latest news was playing on the television.
Mu Qingzhu, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but recall her experiences over the past three years.
It had been over fifteen years since she transmigrated to this world.
Being reborn was a good thing for Mu Qingzhu.
Firstly, she was no longer an orphan; she had her own parents. Although she didn't have to relive the dark times of her childhood, her parents were tragically killed when Mu Qingzhu was six years old.
Secondly, she had transmigrated to a parallel world where Pokémon existed.
Yes, Pokémon, the very Pokémon that used to be shown on TV.
Mu Qingzhu was a Pokémon fan; she loved Pokémon very much, and her childhood was spent with them.
This led her to research the history of this world after learning that the world she transmigrated to truly had Pokémon.
Subsequently, she discovered that the history of this parallel world had undergone significant changes compared to what she knew.
The biggest change stemmed from an event five hundred years ago.
Five hundred years ago, an interdimensional space suddenly appeared in the world. It existed in the world, yet it wasn't within the world, but rather in a separate space.
To put it simply, in a house that originally had only two rooms, a third room suddenly appeared.
The difference was that this room didn't occupy the house's area but was independent of the house's space. It could be seen and entered, yet it wasn't truly present in the house.
When the interdimensional space first appeared, various countries dispatched exploration teams to investigate. They soon discovered a special creature called Pokémon.
Pokémon are special life forms that possess both a physical body and intelligence. Not only are they special in themselves, but they also possess a unique power within them.
Some are so weak they can't even defeat a human infant, while others are powerful enough to destroy a small island, or even an entire country.
Fortunately, the first Pokémon humans encountered were gentle in nature and did not initiate any conflicts with humans. Instead, after deep communication, they became friends.
It wasn't until three hundred years ago that a large number of interdimensional spaces appeared, and more and more Pokémon emerged from them.
Among them were also warlike Pokémon, which had a huge impact on the world at that time.
Fortunately, humanity had already built bridges of friendship with some Pokémon, so with the help of other Pokémon's power, the situation did not spiral out of control.
Although the first war between humans and Pokémon, known as the "First Pokémon War," later broke out, humanity ultimately won, and together with the Pokémon, they created an organization called the Pokémon League.
The war ended, but the appearance of interdimensional spaces did not stop; in fact, they appeared with increasing frequency.
To ensure that similar wars would not happen again, the Digital League began monitoring every interdimensional space that descended upon the planet, giving them a common name—Pokémon Secret Realm.
Today, Pokémon have become integrated into the human world. Most humans can have their own Pokémon partners, and the world has entered a brand new era.
The Pokémon Era!
In this era, as long as one meets the minimum age requirement and pays a certain amount of money to the Pokémon League, one can receive a Pokémon Egg and raise one's own Pokémon.
…
On this day, Mu Qingzhu and her best friends Xia Bing and Bai Ou walked out of school, chatting. Xia Bing had her butler pick her up by car. Since all three lived nearby, they rode home together. About thirty minutes later, they finally entered the villa area of Guiyang, the provincial capital of Qian Prefecture. This villa area is located near Guanshan Lake Wetland Park, with luxurious residences lining the streets and an elegant and peaceful environment.
After entering the villa area, the three separated and walked towards their respective homes. Before parting, they decided to go to a nearby Breeding House tomorrow to see if there were any Pokémon suitable for them. After all, in four months, they would be entering high school. If they wanted to become excellent Trainers, they had to prepare a Pokémon. For this, they had made preparations in advance, hoping to find suitable Pokémon at the Breeding House.
Then, Mu Qingzhu walked to one of the villas, took out her key, and opened the door. The room was empty.
This villa was left behind by her parents. When Mu Qingzhu was 6 years old, her parents, while exploring a newly emerged Secret Realm, along with other Researchers, stumbled upon an evil organization executing a mysterious plan. The members of the evil organization then attacked her parents and the Researchers. Her parents and the Researchers fought bravely, sending one of the Researchers to notify the League.
Subsequently, when the League's people arrived, they found that all the members of the evil organization had left, and her parents and the other Researchers had all sacrificed themselves.
To comfort the families, the League allowed Mu Qingzhu to receive a Starter Pokémon for free from the League's Breeding House when she turned 15.
The next day—
As Mu Qingzhu, having changed her clothes, was about to leave, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
[Ding~ Detecting that the Host is about to obtain her first Pokémon, the Strongest Pokémon Master System is binding~]
[Ding~ Hello, Host!]
"Uh~ You… hello." Mu Qingzhu said, somewhat bewildered. "Did my golden finger just arrive?"
[Ding~ Let me introduce myself—this system is the Strongest Pokémon Master System, designed to help the Host become the strongest Trainer in the world. The Host can obtain system points and some rewards by completing tasks issued by the system, and can also complete some hidden tasks to obtain system points and rewards.]
[The System Mall is divided into the Point Mall and the Flash Sale Mall. In the Point Mall, the Host can exchange items using system points. In the Flash Sale Mall, the Host needs to use Pokémon Coins to purchase items, and the Flash Sale Mall refreshes daily. System points can also be used for draws.]
In her previous life, Mu Qingzhu was also a Pokémon fan. During her university years, after completing Sword and Shield, she also reached the Master Ball rank in competitive play. Afterwards, for her postgraduate entrance exam, she did not continue playing ranked battles.
[Ding~ Detecting that the Host still has a Newbie Gift Pack (Newbie Gift Package) uncollected. Would you like to collect it now?]
"Collect." Mu Qingzhu replied excitedly.
[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Unknown Pokémon Egg × 1, Eye of Detection, Advanced Tokiwa Power, Super Masara Body, System Points × 1000, Luxury Ball × 6]
After the fusion, Mu Qingzhu said to the system, "Open the character panel."
〖Host: Mu Qingzhu〗
〖System Points: 1000〗
〖Abilities: Super Masara Body, Advanced Tokiwa Power〗
〖Items: Unknown Pokémon Egg × 1, Luxury Ball × 6〗
"Emmm… So now I can hold a Cosmog like Zhi Ye?" Mu Qingzhu asked, somewhat uncertain, because she only felt her senses were clearer, nothing else.
[Ding~ The Host has only fused with the Super Masara Body, not Machamp. Although your strength will also increase, like lifting a Larvitar is possible, but don't even think about Cosmog.]The system replied.
"Alright~" Mu Qingzhu said helplessly.
"Qingzhu, are you ready?" Xia Bing called from downstairs in the villa. "We need to go early today, or we'll have to queue."
Suddenly hearing Xia Bing's voice, Mu Qingzhu immediately replied, "Coming, coming!"
Then she went out. Xia Bing and Bai Ou outside said to Mu Qingzhu, "Usually, it's you, Qingzhu, waiting for us. What's going on today, that we're waiting for you?"
"I was thinking about which Pokémon to choose later, so I was a bit slow." Mu Qingzhu replied perfunctorily.
"Didn't your families prepare Starter Pokémon for you two? Why are you still going to the Breeding House to look?" Mu Qingzhu asked back.
"I want to go to the Breeding House to see if there are any Pokémon suitable for me. After all, I want to make the Pokémon I choose my ace." The two replied.
On the way, Xia Bing asked, "Have you decided what your first Pokémon will be? I hope my first Pokémon is a good-Qualifications Ice-type Pokémon."
Bai Ou replied, "I hope my first Pokémon is a good-Qualifications Flying-type Pokémon."
Mu Qingzhu thought for a moment and said jokingly, "I hope my first Pokémon is a Quasi-Legendary."
Bai Ou and Xia Bing rolled their eyes: "Do you think Quasi-Legendaries are like cabbages, you can just have one if you want?"
Immediately, the three arrived at the best Breeding House in Qian Prefecture. Fortunately, they arrived early, and there wasn't much of a queue outside.
Qian Prefecture Breeding House is located near Dashi Square, one of the five prosperous areas of Guiyang. It is the largest Breeding House in the entire Qian Prefecture and has the best Pokémon Qualifications. Most Breeding Houses only have two floors at most, but Qian Prefecture Breeding House has five floors, and it is said that there are even Quasi-Legendary Pokémon Eggs inside.
The three walked in to look. Upon entering, there were some display cases containing Pokémon Eggs and Pokémon.
Mu Qingzhu saw that most of them were common Pokémon like Rattata and Caterpie, so the three walked to the second floor.
The Pokémon on the second floor indeed had better Qualifications than those on the first floor, and there were a few Starter Pokémon, but none of them suited the three's tastes, so they went to the third floor.
The Pokémon on the third floor were mostly Starter Pokémon, and there were also some Pokémon with good Qualifications, but the prices were not cheap. However, after browsing for a while, none of them found a Pokémon they liked.
The three decided to go to the gambling egg areas on the fourth and fifth floors to see if they could find any overlooked Pokémon.
The three first arrived on the fourth floor and found that there were more people here. Most people wanted to find overlooked Pokémon. The fourth floor was the ordinary gambling egg area, where a Pokémon Egg cost around 1,000 to 10,000. The advanced gambling egg area on the fifth floor, however, had Pokémon Eggs priced at 100,000 or more, with a chance of hatching a Quasi-Legendary.
After browsing the fourth floor, the three decided to go to the fifth floor's advanced gambling egg area to take a look.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, Xia Bing said somewhat dejectedly, "Are our three lucks really that bad? We've looked at four floors and haven't found a suitable Pokémon."
Bai Ou comforted her, "There's still one more floor here. Let's take a look; what if there is one?"
Xia Bing also regained her confidence and said, "Then let's keep looking."
The three then split up to choose their own Pokémon Eggs. Mu Qingzhu first looked at the Pokémon Eggs in the 100,000 to 200,000 display cabinet and found some Pokémon with relatively high Qualifications.
