"Eishi, get up!" Wang Sheng vaguely heard someone calling him.
But that wasn't his name. Wang Sheng groggily opened his eyes, and the person before him gradually came into focus. It was a completely unfamiliar face.
The man in front of him said, "Get up and eat." Then he turned and walked out of the room.
Still muddle-headed, Wang Sheng followed him out.
As he walked, he suddenly noticed that the room looked different and finally reacted. "Something's wrong! Where am I?
"This isn't my room! I clearly remember reading a novel last night before going to sleep."
How had things become like this after waking up? Wang Sheng was full of doubts.
Then his whole body jolted as a huge amount of memories began flooding into his mind. Eichi seemed to witness an entire life, from childhood to adulthood.
But there was nothing after going to sleep last night. It took a long time before the memories finally stopped.
"Did I transmigrate?
"And into the world of Pokémon?"
Wang Sheng had once fantasized about transmigrating into the world of Pokémon, catching Pokémon and traveling with them. He never expected it to actually happen. With mixed emotions, he briefly washed up.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw large black eyes, thick black hair, delicate features, and fair skin.
He was practically the image of a handsome little boy. Remembering that this body was only ten years old, he no longer found it strange.
Sitting at the table, he silently ate breakfast while slowly absorbing the memories of the body's original owner.
The original owner was named Yoshino Eishi. He had just turned ten a few days ago. His mother had died when he was very young.
So Eichi had lived with his father since childhood. His father was merely an ordinary worker in a small town near Tokiwa City. He did not earn much, so the family's circumstances were average.
Eichi loved Pokémon and wanted to become a Bug Catcher, to catch Pokémon of his own.
Eichi's dream was to become a Pokémon Trainer, and the strongest Trainer at that.
To pursue that dream, he had been diligently studying Pokémon knowledge.
In the world of Pokémon, the League stipulated that only citizens who had reached the age of ten could own Pokémon.
Anyone under ten who privately caught Pokémon would face severe punishment.
Previously, he had been too young, so he could only follow the Bug Catchers in town around and learn about all kinds of Pokémon.
Now Eichi was ten years old and could catch Pokémon of his own.
The thought made Wang Sheng excited. But when he looked up and saw his father's resolute yet weathered face, he could no longer feel excited.
He silently sighed. I'm sorry, Eichi. Since I've taken over your body, then your father is my father. From now on, I am Eichi.
I'll fulfill your dream and become the strongest Trainer. Of course, that's my dream too.
According to the original owner's memories, he should next be heading to Pokémon School.
In the world of Pokémon, the League required every family to send their children to Pokémon School once they reached a certain age.
Everyone had to at least complete Primary School before choosing whether to continue their studies or enter society.
Eichi attended Tokiwa Primary Pokémon School, located near Tokiwa City, beside Viridian Forest.
At school, teachers taught students how to read and write, introduced them to the various Pokémon of the Kanto Region, and taught all kinds of knowledge related to Pokémon.
Naturally, Primary School only taught the most basic knowledge. Like elementary school in his previous life, it covered only the fundamentals.
To learn more, one could only ask teachers or attend an advanced Pokémon School.
Walking down the road, sunlight shone down beneath a blue sky. There was none of the air pollution from his previous life, and the air was exceptionally fresh, even giving him the illusion of a sweet fragrance.
The neatly scattered houses were surrounded by all kinds of lush, thriving trees.
After passing through a small forest, he could see flocks of Pokémon such as Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Butterfree, and Spearow flying overhead.
Raticate and Oddish often ran past him along the road. There were also Pokémon in every tree.
There were none of the familiar animals from his previous life here, only all kinds of Pokémon that had existed in manga and anime. Raticate, Venonat, Caterpie, Weedle, Oddish...
Watching these passing Pokémon, Eichi happily said, "This world really is wonderful."
Not far into the forest stood several tall buildings. Directly ahead was the school gate, with a large sign reading "Tokiwa Primary School."
Inside stood a three-story building that looked much like a school building on Earth. Its walls were grayish white, and the classroom doors were lined up in neat rows.
Students and teachers came and went, filling the place with youthful energy. Beside the teaching building was a small track, roughly three hundred meters long.
The school was not very large, but though small, it had everything it needed.
Upon entering the school, Eichi smiled and greeted the teachers and students he passed.
"Good morning, Teacher Daixiang."
"Oh, it's Classmate Ying Shi!"
"..."
Some classmates who knew him also took the initiative to greet Eichi.
"Morning, Classmate Ying Shi!"
"Morning."
"..."
He arrived at his classroom, found his seat, and sat down. When the time came, the teacher entered the classroom right on schedule and began the lesson.
"Students, open Primary Pokémon Identification 1 to page thirty. Today, we will learn how to identify Ghost-type Pokémon from the Kanto region."
"In this lesson, we will first get to know Gastly and its evolved forms, Haunter and Gengar..."
The material taught by the teacher was truly very simple for someone who loved Pokémon and had transmigrated here. The original owner had already been intelligent and hardworking, so he had long since taught himself all this knowledge.
Incidentally, the original owner had ranked 1st Place in the class in every exam. It could even be said that he had the best grades among all the students in the entire school.
Whenever the teacher taught, Eichi would read his own books. Even when the teacher noticed, he would not say anything, simply turning a blind eye and pretending not to see.
Who could blame him when Eichi's grades were so good? Just like the top students from his previous life, teachers would not care what they did in class as long as their grades were good.
Wang Sheng understood this all too well from his previous life. Before transmigrating, Eichi's grades had always been rather average, placing him somewhere in the middle of the class. He usually ranked in the teens on exams. No matter how hard he worked, he could never score as highly as the top students did with ease.
Later, he failed to get into his dream university and could only attend an ordinary one. Then, in university, he began drifting through life, living the same routine every day.
He woke up on time and went to bed on time. Apart from attending class, he spent all his other time playing on his phone.
Several years passed like that, and then he transmigrated. There was no car accident, nor did some divine artifact bring him here.
He had simply gone to sleep as usual and transmigrated.
However, after transmigrating, Eichi discovered that he seemed to have become smarter. For instance, when recalling a difficult problem from his previous life, he could now calculate it step by step in his mind in an orderly manner.
His memory had also improved. Most notably, he could remember everything he saw today with remarkable clarity.
This change made him very happy. What made him happiest, though, was the Pokémon knowledge stored in his mind, along with his memories of major future events.
These could all be considered his cheat. Although he had no system, Eichi was already very satisfied.
