Pokemon Master? I’m Definitely Stealing That Title!

[Kanto Region Arc: Where the Dream Begins]

[Sequel, Johto Arc: This Trainer Is Clearly Overpowered, Yet He’s Far Too Lazy]

While other trainers are diligently grinding through Gym battles to earn badges, I’ve already uncovered the ultimate survival strategy in the Pokemon world: looting for free.

Other people transmigrate with a System. I transmigrate with a crowbar.

Other people transmigrate to become trainers. I transmigrate to become a “loyal and righteous” cyberpunk thug.

“Being a trainer won’t save the people of Kanto, but being a thug can drive everyone crazy.”

I get plowed into the Pokemon world by a truck from the start. While everyone else picks a Starter Pokémon, I hit the ground running and steal Professor Oak’s treasured ramen.

Other people catch Pokemon through battles. I use a stick to physically persuade Pidgey.

“Ash, can bonds put food on the table?” I ask, while tricking Ash into spending 5,000 League points on a “Shiny” Caterpie and casually swiping his pocket money.

My principles are simple: only rip off villains, go easy on ordinary people; fleece Team Rocket whenever possible, and pick on the Bug Catcher kids by the roadside instead.

And the League?

“They call this theft? I call it tactical resource redistribution!”

My motto is: “You can lose a Pokemon battle, but your hemp sack had better be full!”

As for the law?

Ha! Officer Jenny’s arrest warrants always have only one name on them: Gary Oak of Pallet Town.

I have only three secrets to turning my life around:

Have no shame, have no fear of death, and never leave your opponent with any items!

“League Champion? Not interested. My goal is to become the MVP on the Pokemon world’s most-wanted list!”

“Become a Pokémon Master? No, my goal is to become everyone’s worst psychological nightmare.”
