This Pokemon World Is a Little Strange

(A shared setting blending the games, anime, and manga, with a lighthearted tone)

On television, Gym Leader Qianli's eldest son enters a Pokémon Contest with his younger sister.

In the newspaper, Ash Xiao Zhi from Pallet Town claims the Orange League championship.

A news app on a phone is pushing a promotional story for a new film starring Ms. Karuno, the Kalos League Champion.

Posters cover the streets, announcing that Ms. Nasi, a rising superstar, will tour Kalos.

People on the streets are heading to work or going on outings with friends. Thanks to advanced technology, everyone's life is filled with convenience and laughter.

“This world really is a little different.”

“But that's not so bad. As long as the changes don't cause us any trouble.”

Looking at the dark green figure lounging on his shoulder, the handsome young man smiled.

“Standing before us today is the World Championship winner, Kalos League Champion, and honorary president of the Breeders' Association, Mr. Filio!”

In front of the cameras, the young man shook his head helplessly and sighed.

“I'm really not being modest. I'm just an ordinary person who wanted to live a peaceful, predictable life. How did I end up...”

“But things are already so bizarre that a little more hardly matters.”
