Pokemon Spirit Deliveries: Waiting in Vain for Metagross to Return

Vini transmigrates into the Pokemon world. He dies in a mining tunnel collapse, and only in his final moments does he remember his past life. When he opens his eyes again, he is back on Earth, where he lived in his previous life. But something is wrong with this world: a Delibird taps on the window to deliver a package, a Luxury Ball rolls out of it, and a Rotom-possessed print shop appears as a coordinate on the navigation app. Metagross, Swampert, and Tinkaton are all missing.

Thirty years. For the Ghost-type Rotom, it was only the blink of an eye. For Swampert and Tinkaton, with their limited lifespans, it was a long and bitter ordeal. Vini stands on the second floor of the print shop, looking at the ugly wooden carving he made ten years ago. Rotom rushes over and crashes into him, making his vision go dark. "Nini, you're finally here!"

He has no money, no diploma, and no Pokemon. All he has left is the empty Luxury Ball at his waist, which can locate all his lost friends. Vini opens the navigation app on his phone and searches for the next city. His reddened eyes are reflected in the screen:

"Wait for me. Even if I have to cross every line of latitude and longitude on this Earth, I'll find every one of you."
