Pokemon: A Supercomputer from the Start, and I Find a Champion-Rank Tadpole Egg!

After transmigrating into the Pokemon world, Xingye Yangjie binds himself to a Smart Brain System that scans Pokemon talents and calculates the best training plans. After being reborn following a volcanic disaster on Cinnabar Island, he turns his family’s fortunes around by using his foresight to help them acquire a hot-spring inn. At thirteen, he sneaks into an underground black market without his parents’ knowledge. He scans the unknown-egg section, where each egg costs 300,000 Alliance Coins, and the Smart Brain interface displays: Poliwag, unhatched; light-cyan potential, 71–85; Champion-level aptitude; rare ability: Water Absorb. While every other buyer is still picking through light-yellow, mid-tier eggs, Yangjie has already snatched up the top-grade Poliwag egg and slipped away. He can barely suppress his grin on the way home. This level of aptitude is one in hundreds of thousands among its kind, and with proper training, it’s sure to reach the Champion threshold. Three days later, the shell cracks, and the little tadpole opens its eyes and bonds with him. Yangjie crouches by the incubator and pokes its head. “From now on, your name is Qingbo. Our goal isn’t to become Gym Leaders. It’s to become Champions.” The System interface updates at the same time: Poliwag, Qingbo | Potential: Light Cyan | Level 1 | Two evolution paths available. He closes the lid and slings on his pack. The summer cicadas are singing at full volume on Cinnabar Island, and his first journey begins by the sea.
