Pokemon: Starting with a Shiny Metagross

A lighthearted, invincible-style slice of life in the world of Pokemon

Other people start with a Rattata or an Oddish, but me?

My grandfather is one of the Pokémon League's 18 type-based Elite Four members, and my dad is a Steel-type Gym Leader.

I started with a Shiny Beldum, which evolves into Metagross.

Qian Duoduo: It's not that you aren't working hard enough. I'm just terrifyingly strong.

I was eighteen that year, standing with my hands in my pockets, unaware of what it meant to have an equal.
