[Pokemon] I Train Through Traveling

Rin, a rookie Trainer who starts her journey with a Pokemon already in tow, sets off on her adventure.

When she meets other people:

Rin: I help them, answer their questions thoughtfully, and don't bother them.

During training:

Rin: Stop slacking! Put on those weighted wristbands, carry that rock, and run ten laps through the woods! She watches her Pokemon's performance with a constant frown.

When she meets someone she likes:

Rin: That's a great method! As expected of you, you're amazing! I really admire you!

She throws her arms around him and showers him with praise.

Rin's Pokemon: I'm not human, but you really are a dog. Please, try acting like a person for once, qaq.

1. The male lead is extremely strict during training and may say things that come across badly. He's strict with himself, too, and works out. [Read with care.]

2. Character OOC warning, and the writing is rough, qaq.

3. One of the main characters is Shinji. [Read with care!! I really like Shinji, that sharp-tongued beauty, awooo ┗|`O′|┛ awooo~~]

4. There will be a little more romance later on. There's little romance at first, and Rin keeps pestering Shinji to teach her his training methods, which is how they develop the tiniest bit of affection for each other (really, just a tiny bit; the focus is mainly on their travels). [Assume Shinji and Ash set off at the same time and begin traveling in the same place.]

5. Updates may be slow because the author isn't very clever. The story focuses on Ash and his companions, and follows the anime's order, starting in the Hoenn Region.

6. The protagonist has a secret that will be revealed later.

Premise: Dare to go on adventures and never fear setbacks
