On the first day after transmigrating to the Pokemon world, Lin Yuan encounters a Mewtwo.
It doesn’t warm up to him, trust him, or speak to him.
It only floats far away, like a shadow he can’t shake.
On the seventh day after transmigrating, Lin Yuan activates a System.
[Special event detected: A homeless person’s instant-noodle philosophy]
[Reward received: One damaged Pokedex fragment]
This System is not normal.
It doesn’t give sign-in rewards at set locations, offer Legendary Pokémon as prizes, or hand out big starter packs.
It only pops up at certain strange moments, then gives him a pile of equally strange things:
A fragment that can read minds, a strand of Mewtwo’s shed tail fur, a scale shed by Kyogre, and a pearl that makes Fire-type Pokémon spit out shards of ice.
And Mewtwo simply watches.
It watches this weak human get chased by Wild Pokémon, share his instant noodles with a Meowth by the roadside, and get beaten until he’s rolling on the ground to protect three Starter Pokémon he’s never even met.
Then, in an unremarkable moment, it floats a meter closer.
Lin Yuan asks, “Why are you following me, anyway?”
Mewtwo doesn’t answer.
But much later, when someone asks it the same question, it says:
“Because he looks at me differently from everyone else.”
