My Little Mao Wants to Become a Pokémon Master (Author: Dongye)
Qin Mao transmigrates to the world of elves and is reborn as Xiao Mao.
The idea of being ranked in the top 32 at the Indigo League, the top 16 at the Silver League, or giving up one's dream of becoming a trainer—none of that exists.
I, Xiao Mao, will never change my dream in this life: to win all the league tournament championships, to leave no regrets, and to trample all eight masters under my feet.
Chapter 1: Reborn Gary, Choosing Your Starter Pokémon
Kanto region.
Pallet Town, where it all began.
"Shigeru, why are you up so early today?" Professor Oak looked at Shigeru, who had suddenly gotten up early, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. There was still an hour before the new recruits were supposed to report for duty.
"Of course, today is the day to choose your starter Pokémon, so of course I had to get up early," said the handsome boy with reddish-brown hair.
"I think you're up so early because you're worried your beloved Pokémon will be challenged by other newcomers," Professor Oak said, seeing right through Gary's thoughts.
Professor Oak is in charge of training new recruits in Pallet Town and selecting their starter Pokémon. As Professor Oak's grandson, Gary naturally has the advantage of being close to the source and gets to know the starter Pokémon earlier than other recruits. He also knows which Pokémon has higher potential.
"hey-hey."
Xiao Mao smiled slightly and did not deny it.
He would never admit that he came so early to activate the system.
The boy in front of me, whose real name is Qin Mao, is a transmigrator who has traveled to the world of Pokémon.
Upon learning that he had been transported to the Pokémon world and had become Professor Oak's grandson, Qin Mao gladly accepted the situation.
Although he's not the main character Ash, Gary is Professor Oak's grandson, a top-tier second-generation tech enthusiast, giving him an incredibly lucky start.
Now that I've become Shigeru, I naturally have to make up for Shigeru's regrets.
He went from being among the top 32 in the Indigo League to the top 16 in the Silver League, and eventually even gave up his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master, abandoning his martial arts career to pursue academics and become a Pokémon researcher.
Now that he's been reborn, Gary will definitely not give up halfway. Even if he wants to become a Pokémon researcher, he'll wait until he wins the Pokémon World Championship.
The reason why Gary arrived at Oak's lab so early was not just to be the first to choose a starter Pokémon, but because the system would be activated after choosing a starter Pokémon.
Just last night, the system suddenly woke up and assigned a task to Xiao Mao.
[Current Task: Obtain the starter Pokémon Squirtle / Task Reward: Deluxe Gift Pack x1.]
As in the original story, Gary did indeed choose Squirtle as his starter Pokémon.
Squirtle is a very good Pokémon, and its final evolution, Blastoise, is also quite powerful, after all, it has Mega Evolution and its own Gigantamax form, so it's definitely a good main Pokémon.
Moreover, the Squirtle among the starter Pokémon chosen for newcomers this time is definitely not weak; it at least has the potential to become an Elite Four member.
Gary himself also planned to choose Squirtle from the new Pokémon lineup. After taking care of it for a while, Gary could tell that among the three starter Pokémon, Squirtle was the best.
One hour later...!
The area outside Oak's lab was already packed with people, most of whom were family members of the new trainers. Only two people actually chose their Pokémon.
Professor Oak also welcomed in two other new trainers. Gary looked at the two newcomers, a boy and a girl. The boy was called Orange and the girl was called Yellow. Like Ash and Gary, they had grown up together in Pallet Town.
"Little Gary, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. It seems you've already decided which Pokémon to choose. After you choose your Pokémon, let's have a battle." Little Orange's tone was full of provocation.
Xiao Huang, on the other hand, acted like a well-behaved girl, not daring to say a word, and just silently watched Xiao Mao and Xiao Cheng.
Shigeru wanted to refuse this pointless battle, but...!
[Ding! Temporary quest issued: Defeat the challenger, Little Orange / Quest reward: 3 Low-level Magic Candies (Use on Pokémon below level 30, level +1.)]
"Alright, then let me, your young master, let you taste your first defeat as a trainer," Gary said arrogantly.
"What! You're the one who'll taste defeat?" Xiao Cheng retorted defiantly.
"Then let's wait and see." Xiao Mao had no interest in arguing with a 10-year-old kid.
Xiao Mao didn't take Xiao Cheng and Xiao Huang seriously at all. After becoming trainers, these two guys had a smooth start, but they encountered difficulties in the middle stage and gave up their dream of becoming trainers.
How could Gary possibly take someone who's never even participated in a single Pokémon Tournament seriously?
Professor Oak watched as Gary and Orange clashed, feeling rather helpless, but he didn't try to stop them.
Trainers, of course, need to have a bit of a temper.
It is common for trainers to battle each other.
"Then you two can have your battle in the backyard later." Professor Oak kindly provided the two with a venue.
"Alright, come with me." Professor Oak led Gary and the others to the testing area and took out three Poké Balls from the inside pocket of his white coat and opened them.
Great...!
"seed!"
"Woolen cloth!"
"Jenny!"
The classic first-generation starter Pokémon make their appearance.
When Xiao Cheng and Xiao Huang saw the starter trio, their eyes widened, sparkling with excitement.
Even though Xiao Mao had taken care of these three little ones, he was still incredibly excited.
"Alright, these are the starter Pokémon provided for you. Gary, you can choose first, in the order they arrived," Professor Oak said.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Xiao Mao walked over confidently.
Xiao Cheng and Xiao Huang immediately tensed up. They naturally also had their favorite Pokémon and were worried that Xiao Mao would choose one of them.
Xiao Mao walked straight to Squirtle, stretched out his hand, and said, "Squirtle, come with me, I'll make you stand at the top of the world."
“Jenny.”
Squirtle nodded its round head repeatedly, clearly happy to follow Xiao Mao, and even hugged his arm.
"Hehe, you are my first Pokémon." Gary patted Squirtle's head affectionately.
"Jenny! Jenny!"
Squirtle squinted, clearly enjoying Gary's touch.
[Ding! Mission complete. Rewards have been sent to your inventory.]
The sudden system notification brought Xiao Mao back to his senses.
Xiao Mao is very curious about what's inside the deluxe gift pack, but given the current situation, it's not a good time to open it. He can only wait.
"Alright, now it's your turn, Yellow." Professor Oak said.
"Okay!" Little Yellow nodded, walked directly to Bulbasaur's side, bent down, and said, "Bulbasaur, come with me."
"seed!"
Bulbasaur didn't hesitate at all, extending its vines from both sides to engage Little Yellow Nest.
"Great! Charmander is mine!" Little Orange exclaimed excitedly.
Xiao Cheng's favorite Pokémon is Charmander, and she was worried that Xiao Mao and Xiao Huang would steal Charmander away.
And so, all three of them selected their preferred elf.
"Brother Gorilla, let's battle!" After obtaining Charmander, Orange immediately challenged Brother Gorilla.
Xiao Mao didn't know what to say to Xiao Cheng.
Are you blind?
Didn't you see that I chose Squirtle?
Water is the counter to fire, isn't it?
It seems this little orange doesn't know much about Pokémon, almost as much as Ash. No wonder he gave up on becoming a trainer.
Chapter 2: The First Battle
"Alright, since you're so eager to taste failure, come with me to the backyard," Xiao Mao said casually.
For the mission reward, Xiao Mao naturally had to fight Xiao Cheng.
"I won't lose!" Xiao Cheng disliked Xiao Mao's arrogant attitude, as if he was convinced he would lose. She immediately followed him, determined to defeat him.
...!
Shigeru was very familiar with the layout of Oak's lab, and he led Orange to the temporary area behind the lab.
Professor Oak and Yellow also came along, wanting to see the battle between the two rookie trainers.
Xiao Mao and Xiao Cheng each walked to their respective command areas on either side.
“Then I’ll be the temporary referee.” Professor Oak also became interested. Although he thought their battle was low-level, he fondly remembered it, as he had gone through the same thing back then.
Seeing my grandson start as a rookie trainer just like me fills me with nostalgia and immense joy.
"Next up is a 1-on-1 Pokémon battle between Gary and Orange. Please send out your Pokémon at the same time," Professor Oak announced methodically.
"Come out, little dragon!"
"I'll leave it to you to deal with."
The two released Poké Balls at the same time, sending out Charmander and Squirtle respectively.
"Woolen cloth!"
Charmander, being a Fire-type Pokémon, is quite combative. After only a few minutes apart, upon learning that a battle was imminent, it immediately abandoned its previous friendship with its Squirtle roommate and adopted a serious and ready stance.
"Jenny!"
Squirtle was quite displeased to see his former partner change his attitude so quickly, and he shouted even more rudely, as if he was cursing Charmander for being a worthless turtle.
Seeing that both sides were in top form, Professor Oak announced, "The battle begins."
"Charmander, use Ember!" Little Orange gave the command first.
As a new trainer, Xiao Cheng had done some basic research and knew which skills Charmander knew.
