Chapter 1: Kenji

"A strange ceiling..."

After a brief moment of confusion, Kenji shot up in bed, his head snapping around to survey the completely unfamiliar surroundings.

He was in a bedroom of about forty square meters. The furnishings were spartan, consisting of only a single bed, a wooden desk, and a wardrobe.

Where is this...

"Hiss, my head hurts!"

A flood of memories surged into his mind.

A moment later, Kenji's face was filled with astonishment.

Had he been transported to another world?

Kenji struggled to remain calm, taking about five minutes to sort out his current situation.

He had crossed over.

To be precise, he had crossed into the world of Pokémon, into the body of a ten-year-old boy, also named Kenji, whose parents were both deceased.

In his memories, Kenji's father was a Pokémon Ranger, and his mother was a rebellious Officer Jenny who chose to become a Pokémon Breeder instead of joining the police force.

The two of them ran a breeding center and inn on the main road between Fallarbor Town and Meteor Falls in the Hoenn region, providing a place for passing trainers to rest and leave their Pokémon for care.

The family of three had lived in harmony, but unexpectedly, three years ago, they encountered a shipwreck while traveling by boat. Both of his parents were lost to the sea, leaving Kenji as the sole survivor.

With no one to run it, the breeding center eventually fell into ruin. The seven-year-old Kenji and a single Pokémon left behind by his parents went to live in an orphanage.

The boy and his Pokémon scraped by on the inheritance his parents left, and upon turning ten, Kenji returned with the Pokémon that had cared for him all this time to their old breeding center.

Looking at the dilapidated building, overwhelmed by a deep longing for his parents, the original Kenji chose to leave this world, hoping to find them in the next.

Kenji: "..."

This poor kid...

Outside the window, the shadows of trees danced, and the chirping of insects and birds drifted in with the gentle breeze.

Kenji quickly accepted the reality of his transmigration.

What else could he do at this point?

The only saving grace was that he had been transported to the relatively peaceful and friendly world of Pokémon, not some grimdark universe like Warhammer or Resident Evil.

And as someone who grew up watching the Pokémon anime and playing the games, he was quite familiar with everything here.

Kenji sat up in bed, calmly assessing his current predicament.

Kenji, male, ten years old, parents deceased. His assets consisted of 20,000 Pokédollars (the last of his inheritance), a breeding center and inn in name only, and one Pokémon left by the original's parents.

Should he become a trainer and travel the world like Ash Ketchum?

No, that wasn't realistic. Although the Pokémon world offered various benefits and privileges to trainers, without financial support from parents or a way to earn money, even feeding his Pokémon would be a luxury, let alone raising them properly.

What about using the 20,000 Pokédollars to start a small business?

In reality, while 20,000 Pokédollars sounded like a lot, it would barely cover their expenses for less than a month.

From the original's memories, a bowl of miso soup cost 500 Pokédollars, and a bowl of ramen was 1,000...

Of course, it would be cheaper if he bought the ingredients and cooked himself.

But even so, 20,000 Pokédollars was still not enough.

"Well, when in Hoenn, do as the Hoennans do. The most important thing right now is to find a job and support myself!" Kenji resolved quietly.

But before that, he needed to go downstairs and check on the Pokémon the original Kenji had left behind.

He got out of bed, pushed open the door, and headed down the stairs.

The sound of his footsteps alerted the Pokémon downstairs. Its eyes lit up, and it quickly turned its head.

The next second, Kenji, who was halfway down the stairs, made eye contact with the Pokémon.

It was a Pokémon that stood about two meters tall. It looked like a pink plush teddy bear, with a black body and a pink head and tail.

"Bewear, a Pokémon from the Alola region, Normal/Fighting-type!" The Pokémon's name instantly surfaced in Kenji's mind.

Despite its cute appearance, Bewear were considered very dangerous in the Alola region, and their habitats were generally restricted areas.

Kenji paused, looking at the big, fluffy bear that was holding a broom, seemingly in the middle of cleaning. He thought to himself that perhaps Bewear wasn't so dangerous after all.

"Kyuu~!"

Seeing its young master come downstairs, Bewear stared with its large, bright black eyes, then began to wave its fluffy arms.

It looked just like a giant pink teddy bear waving hello.

"Hello, Bewear!" Kenji grinned, revealing a friendly smile as he greeted the Pokémon.

Suddenly, Bewear stopped waving. It stared blankly at him.

"Kyuu..."

Kenji's heart tightened. What was happening? Did Bewear see through him, realizing he wasn't the original Kenji?

But in the next instant, he saw Bewear's eyes shine brighter than ever before. A happy expression spread across its face, and it began to wave its arms vigorously, its cries filled with joy.

"Kyuu~!"

Young master smiled!

A Pokémon's perception has always been sharp. On the way here with her young master, Bewear had keenly sensed that something was wrong with his mood.

His presence was weak, his eyes were filled with despair, and his entire being lacked any vitality, as if he had no attachment left to the world.

That feeling... it was as if he was about to die...

Bewear had been worried. It had wanted to stay with its young master, but he had said he wanted to be alone and asked it to help clean downstairs, saying he was preparing to reopen the breeding center just like his mom and dad.

Bewear had a persistent bad feeling, but now, seeing its young master smile, that feeling instantly vanished.

This is wonderful!

Young master smiled!

It had been so, so long since it had seen young master smile.

Pokémon are just that simple.

A smile blossomed on Kenji's face, and Bewear was overjoyed.

So overjoyed, in fact, that a small, dazzling sun slowly floated up from the top of its head, just like an emoji, representing happiness, delight, and a rising mood.

Kenji stared at the little sun, completely stunned.

And in the next second, a line of text suddenly appeared in his vision.

[Bewear's mood has improved. Joy Value +80. Received Bewear's gift: "Baby-Doll Eyes" Skill Machine.]

[Skill Machine (Baby-Doll Eyes): A Fairy-type move. The user stares at the opponent with baby-doll eyes, lowering its Attack stat. Can be taught via mental transmission or by a Pokémon that knows the move. The target Pokémon is guaranteed to learn it. Uses remaining: 9999/9999.]

Is this...

His cheat system?

Kenji rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but when he focused again, the little sun representing happiness was still floating above Bewear's head.

And this time, detailed information about the Pokémon in front of him appeared in his mind.
