Pokemon: Shiny from the Start, Gardevoir Is a Lesser Legendary

“Have you ever seen a Ralts whip someone with psychic power? A Kirlia handcraft a depleted uranium bomb? A Gardevoir summon six Purifying Light Cannons with a snap of its fingers? And even more outrageous, have you ever seen a tsundere Ho-Oh glare at you relentlessly just because you called it ugly?”

You Yue is reborn in the Pokemon world and starts out bonded to two Shiny Ralts: one is a clingy telepath, the other a violent powerhouse that can manifest psychic abilities. He plans to keep a low profile and grow stronger, until he gets himself in trouble by taking a photo and making a snide remark about Ho-Oh’s looks. The Legendary Pokemon immediately blacklists him. Team Rocket’s Matori slams the table and scolds him: “You think one photo is enough to trade for a pseudo-legendary egg?” You Yue crosses his legs. “How about I throw in a Prism Scale? If that won’t do, I’ll go to the League.”

While everyone else is scrambling for a Starter Pokémon, You Yue is already leading his twin Ralts by the hand. He has an uncensored photo of Ho-Oh in his left hand, a Psychic Gem supplied by Team Rocket in his right, and a grudge-holding rainbow bird following behind him. The potential to become a third-tier Legendary is just the starting point. His goal is to fleece every Legendary on the rankings and make them part of his harem.
