While pulling an all-nighter playing Pokemon, programmer Lin You unexpectedly transmigrates to the Pokemon world and becomes Xiao You, a ten-year-old boy from Pallet Town and Ash's childhood friend and neighbor! After awakening the "Pokemon Strategy System," he knows every storyline, hidden location, and Pokemon evolution method. He had planned to lie flat and enjoy being a prophet, but the System forces him to set out on a journey alongside Ash.
"What? Catching the stubborn Pikachu who refuses to enter a Poke Ball before Ash does? System, you really know how to have fun!"
"Misty's bike has to get fried by Pikachu? That's a classic scene. I'll make sure the whole bike is insured ahead of time!"
From then on, the Kanto region has a Trainer with a very different style. While Ash is still charging ahead with fiery enthusiasm, Xiao You is using type advantages to leave Gym Leaders questioning their lives. While Team Rocket is delivering its classic lines, Xiao You has already set up a recorder to loop, "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" And when a Legendary Pokémon appears, Xiao You is busy haggling with the System: "What's the reward for catching Mewtwo? It'd better be at least a Master Ball!"
And the blue-haired girl he saved by chance is looking more and more like a character from the original story he'd never paid attention to. "Wait, you mean you're Xiaolian, Misty's cousin from the Cerulean Gym? How come I don't remember this part of the script?!"
