Poverty-stricken from the start, no System, slow burn
The eerie figure in his dreams, the dark blue blood between his fingers, the terrifying tales of an abandoned mine... Wait, why does this sound like a horror novel? Hahaha, of course it isn't. This is the inspiring tale of an ordinary guy working his way up from the bottom: how he became a Trainer and made a name for himself step by step in the Indigo League. If that sounds interesting, give it a read. (It takes place in a parallel Pokemon world where the famous characters and organizations from the original don't exist. The author will create new ones and add some original settings, so if that bothers you, please steer clear.)
