[Pokémon] Scorched Willow

[Completed] [A final warning!!! Please think twice before clicking, everyone. This story has been called a piece of shit, but writing it took a lot of effort, and some readers found it heartwarming, so I can't bring myself to lock it. Call it sheer stubbornness.] [Enter at your own risk] If you want a normal PM story, you can skip this one. The original setting invites all kinds of debate, but also leaves plenty to the imagination, so the author got carried away. Basically, I spent the whole story using wild, self-indulgent ideas to patch the previous story's plot holes, and got so carried away that things became, uh, very confusing. [Important warning] Some readers may mind this, so I'm warning you up front: To fix some plot holes, this story is connected to the previous one, and that story's main couple will appear and play important roles. Originally tagged as top/bottom, but "switch" refers only to their relationship by the end. JJ wouldn't let me write the rest anyway, so I don't think it matters which tag I use for this one. (shrugs) The following blurb is completely useless: Qian Liu has night blindness, and his only apparent strength is his excellent cooking. He has no grand ambitions or ideals, isn't particularly bright, and has less stamina than the delinquent girl who once confessed to him, got rejected, and angrily kicked him flying. In his previous life, he felt dissatisfied with his dull, ordinary existence. Then, in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a completely different world. But... "Coming here was a complete accident. Why do you think I'd know the name of that yellow mouse that shoots electricity?" Staring at the creature in front of him, which was squeaking "Pika Pika," Qian Liu sipped his fragrant carp soup and looked utterly baffled. Essential author's notes (passing the buck): 1. Is it normal to forget the settings you made yourself? 2. The writing is dangerous, the logic is dangerous. Mostly based on the TV series, with a little from the special games, plus a ton of original settings and out-of-character behavior. 3. The author is a useless old chuunibyou who gets moved by her own writing. 4. Because of the input method's whims (and the author's carelessness), there's a story-spanning plot hole: Which teng is the teng in An Teng, the one meaning pain? I only realized later, so I forcibly cured my OCD... But if I don't mention it, probably no one will care. _(:з"∠)_ P.P.S. The one called Himura really is the blue guy from the villain organization who chases after Won't-Fly's butt. Given this story's nonsensical setting and bizarre plot that veers off the original track, he seems extremely out of character. [His appearance is based on the original Himura, not Omega's Himu Cun. I recommend using the TV version and your imagination to fill in the gaps.] He'll get a redemption arc in this story. [At this point, it's not just out of character: he's practically a different person...] If this ever gets abandoned, it'll only be because the weak, pitiful, helpless author gets blindsided by life, such as losing an account, losing a phone, or some other accident.
