Pokemon: Starting My Sign-In Journey in Pallet Town

After transmigrating to the Pokemon world and binding himself to a sign-in System, Ash thought he’d landed in an unbeatable hero’s story.

He had Aura, he had Pikachu, and everything was ready. All he needed was to sign in.

Then the System never made another sound.

One year, two years, three years... Ash nearly decided the System was just a joke.

Until the day he set out, when he ran into Gary at the entrance to Professor Oak's Laboratory

“Well, if it isn’t Ash. You sure took your time.”

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You’ve triggered a sign-in location: Professor Oak's Laboratory.]

[Reward: Froakie (Champion-level talent, Hidden Ability: Battle Bond).]

Ash quietly glanced at Gary, then at Pikachu perched on his shoulder.

Forget it. He wouldn’t hold it against him.

After all, this time around, the name at the top had already been decided.
