Background & History

Wang Sheng transmigrated into the body of ten-year-old Yoshino Eishi in the Pokémon world. He inherits Eishi’s memories and dream of becoming a Pokémon Trainer, then chooses to pursue that dream as his own. He grows up in Tokiwa Town, excels at Tokiwa Primary Pokémon School, and earns the trust of both teachers and classmates through his academic ability and courteous conduct 1.

While searching Viridian Forest for Pokémon, Eichi experiences the first manifestation of his unusual power: an eye irritation followed by the appearance of green energy. Following it leads him to a Pokémon Egg, which he brings to Aunt Keiko’s Breeding House. The Egg later hatches into a Weedle, his first documented partner Pokémon 3 4 5.

His early success at Silver Academy establishes his reputation. He defeats the Poaching Gang, places first in the academy entrance examination with 99 points on the written test and a perfect practical score, and later earns an unprecedented 4S result in the Basic Breeder assessment 33 208.
