Pokemon: Reborn as Ash, I Crush the Other Young Trainers

Reborn in the world of Pokemon with his memories of a past life, he becomes Ash. This time, he won’t be reckless. From the start, he stakes out Slowpoke on the outskirts of Pallet Town using professional fishing techniques, and snags the Pichu that was supposed to be part of Professor Oak’s summer camp. While Goh is still swooning over Mew, Ash has already used Pidgeot to rescue a Cubone with pinpoint accuracy, and casually caught the original beloved Pokemon that evolved into Pikachu.

Even more ruthlessly, he gets ahead of Serena’s first meeting with her. The lost girl falls and scrapes her knee, so he drops to one knee to dress the wound, then offers his palm and helps her up. Serena blushes to the tips of her ears. “Are you going to become a Pokémon Master?” Ash looks her in the eye. “Yes. And I’ll be the strongest one.”

While Professor Oak is still fretting over Goh causing trouble everywhere, Ash is already sitting in the back courtyard of the lab with Pikachu, poring over documents. This time, he’ll scout every Legendary Pokemon in advance. Mew, Celebi, Jirachi: not one of them will get away.

Gary walks in. “What are you plotting now?”

Ash looks up and grins. “I’m figuring out how to get your sister on my team, too.”
