Lin Jie transmigrates into the real world of Pokemon.
There is no warmth or dreams here, only the cold law of the jungle.
Pokemon are expensive weapons, the League is controlled by the powerful, Team Rocket is a legitimate ladder to the top, and the Gym Challenge is a fight to the death.
His golden finger is the [Space-Time Simulator], which can randomly load different identities for short-term experiences:
A cleaner who disposes of corpses in a Team Rocket gladiator arena, a black-market doctor cultivating forbidden viruses in the Unova Region, a descendant of an ancient royal family in Sinnoh who once oversaw sacrificial rites... Every simulation is a walk along the edge of death and madness. When it ends, he can choose one ability or item to make permanent in reality.
Starting with using "raising Gu" to produce his first Weedle, every step Lin Jie takes is steeped in calculation and bloodshed.
He maneuvers between Team Rocket's schemes and the League's hypocrisy, seizes resources, and assembles a dark team of his own.
But when the forbidden knowledge he accumulates through the simulator brings him into contact with the power of the "artificial legend" Mewtwo, the "land calamity" Groudon, and the "ecological monitor" Zygarde, he discovers that the deepest darkness in this world is far more than it seems. The cries of Legendary Pokémon echo through history, and every forbidden power he wields will exact a heavy price in the future.
There is no turning back. Either he rises to the top in the space between simulation and reality, becoming a fourth force above all rules, or he becomes a pawn sacrificed on a grander chessboard.
(Core elements: a dark, realistic world, a highly strategic protagonist, and an unconventional "simulator" golden finger.)
It's okay, just use it as much as you can if you have one.
It's well written. Although it can be simulated, it's not a mindless simulation. It's dark. The pace is very slow. The map of a small town is changed around Chapter 60, and the number of times the simulator appears is very low. It only appears in the first dozen chapters. I wonder if the author forgot that the protagonist has a simulator when he opened several books at the same time.
