   These three books don't involve overpowered protagonists like those with a "drama queen" plot; they're not that strong. Two of them involve a gradual development of the character's abilities, with the protagonist returning to Ash's childhood.

   The first book is suitable for veteran Charizard players, but not just them; Greninja players can also enjoy it. The overall quality is very high, ranking among the top-tier Pokémon books by Tomato. From chapter 200 onwards, the protagonist is invincible. Later on, most of the legendary Pokémon are his teammates; his own Charizard eventually becomes a semi-Creation-level Pokémon.

   Reader note

   None of these four books are Pokémon fanfiction featuring an overpowered protagonist. The first one features a protagonist who transmigrates to a parallel world with Pokémon, without a system or cheat codes, and develops his character step-by-step. The second one is also not an overpowered protagonist novel; the protagonist's initial Pokémon is Charmander, and the plot progresses reasonably well, with the protagonist not using Poké Balls to catch legendary Pokémon but instead being chosen by one of them as a human. The third one is a true commoner's story, also not an overpowered protagonist novel, but it does have a system. The fourth one is a new book; the author's writing is good, but the story hasn't reached its later stages yet.

   Just a quick recommendation~ The main character is a girl, there's no romantic pairing, her starter Pokémon is Ralts (Gallade), and she gradually grows stronger and more excellent. It includes daily life, training, bonds, and battles.

   Reader note

   The first book is the number one Pokémon novel; the protagonist doesn't collect legendary Pokémon, but they are accompanied by them, and they gradually grow stronger using normal Pokémon. The second book is more slice-of-life in the early stages, gradually introducing various legendary Pokémon towards the middle; the pacing is slower. The third book is faster-paced, but the premise is a bit weak; the rest are still very good.

    The story begins in Chengdu. There is no system, no invincibility, no darkness (?), And no romantic pairing. Professor Elm's nephew, his starter Pokémon is a shiny Houndoom, his starter Pokémon is Totodile, and he can catch a Razer Saber. He may have a legendary Pokémon late in the game (but it's just a kid, and it might not grow up even by the time the protagonist dies).

    Multiple characters travel to the Pokémon world, with the protagonist gradually gaining protagonist halo. Due to his title, he can only catch rodent Pokémon, initially disliked by the system. However, under the system's various teasing, he embarks on the great undertaking of raising mice. A group of mice, including a Rattata with the Escape ability, a Rattata with the Guts ability, a Rattata with the Out of Range ability, a Pikachu with the Melee ability, a Sandshrew with the Iaijutsu ability, a Sandshrew with the Avalanche ability, and the newly added Cyndaquil one, gradually overcome stronger opponents.
