Pokemon: From the Start, Champion Cynthia Breaks Off Our Engagement

Lin Chen wakes up to discover he has transmigrated into a world where Pokemon and urban life have become deeply intertwined. He is now the sole heir to the Lin Group, the largest conglomerate in the Huaxia Region.

On his eighteenth birthday, he is due to receive his first Pokemon and officially become a Trainer. But his family has arranged an international blind date for him. His match is none other than Cynthia, a legendary Trainer who is just twenty-two years old and already the Champion of the Sinnoh Region.

At the dinner, the stunning blonde Cynthia is cool and aloof, and speaks without mincing words. “I’m only here because my family asked me to meet you. But this blind date ends here. I will never like someone weaker than me.”

Before she can finish speaking, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounds inside Lin Chen:

[The Ultimate Comeback System activated!]

[Choice One: Accept your fate, give up, and marry someone else as your family wishes. Reward: A comfortable life, but you will forever be nothing more than a ‘rich family’s pretty ornament’ in other people’s eyes.]

[Choice Two: Make a vow to become Champion within two years and defeat Cynthia head-on! Reward: Starter Gift Pack (1 Pokémon Egg with Legendary potential, 1 Talent Awakening Potion).]

Lin Chen looks up at Cynthia’s retreating figure and smiles as he clenches his fists.

“System, I choose two.”

At the World Masters Tournament two years later, Cynthia finds herself facing the “fiancé” she once looked down on, arriving at the battle stage with Legendary Pokémon.

“Miss Cynthia,” Lin Chen says, releasing Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre. “About what you said back then... would you like to reconsider now?”

This isn’t a mindless power fantasy. The protagonist has room to grow and isn’t invincible from the start.
