Pokemon: The System Makes Me Choose from the Start

Xiao Zhi transmigrates to the world of Pokémon and becomes Ash. He first meets Serena at summer camp, then begins his journey in the Kanto region.

Now that I've become Ash, I have to win the League Championships in every region and ultimately become a Pokémon Master.

Host detected meeting Ho-Oh. You may choose one of the following three options.

1. Pick up your Pokédex, take a picture of Ho-Oh, and record it. Then vow to become the one and only Rainbow Hero acknowledged by Ho-Oh. Reward: Rainbow Wing and Marshadow's affection.

2. Give Ho-Oh a piece of your mind: "Isn't that just a bird that looks like a chicken? What's so special about it?" Ho-Oh's fury: it immediately hits the Host with a blast of Sacred Fire.

3. Take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorbike. Try to catch Ho-Oh by launching a surprise attack. Ho-Oh ignores the Host's actions, gives him a look as if he were an idiot, then flies away.

"System, are you messing with me? No one would pick the second or third option. Obviously, I'd choose the first one."
