Kanto Region
In the nature reserve, a fierce chase was unfolding.
“Damn it! How did we run into this monster?!”
The poaching leader, riding a Dodrio at full speed, roared internally, his face revealing uncontrollable fear.
He had brought six subordinates out for poaching, but now he was the only one left standing.
“Hm? I think I heard someone cursing me in their head.”
A voice from behind made the poaching leader shudder. Losing his grip, he tumbled off the racing Dodrio, rolling over ten meters on the ground before crashing into a tree.
“Yikes... that looks painful.” Asahi, who was pursuing from behind, teased as he looked at the poaching leader’s arm bent at an unnatural angle.
“Aren’t you supposed to be transferred? How are you still here?”
Despite his broken arm, the poaching leader gritted his teeth and asked. It was the biggest mystery on his mind.
He dared to poach here because he heard that this 'Demon'—infamous in the Pokémon hunter community—had been transferred. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare step foot here, even with a thousand lives.
Was the informant who sold him this intel lying?
“Though I don’t know where you heard about my transfer, the news is correct. I did receive the transfer order, but I deliberately delayed it by a few days, just to see if any fools would show up. Looks like I caught one.”
Asahi walked up to the poaching leader, kicked him aside, revealing a backpack beneath him. He opened it to find a pile of Poké Balls spilling out.
“You’ve got quite the haul here. This should earn you a good four to five years in prison.” Asahi whistled after roughly counting the number of Poké Balls.
“Damn you, couldn’t you have just left when you were supposed to?!”
Asahi’s words seemed to be the last straw for the poaching leader, who erupted into a frenzy of roars.
As he roared, a dark shadow rushed towards Asahi from the side—a Dodrio with six eyes filled with ferocity, pecking violently at Asahi.
“Die!” This was his final card.
Using his broken arm to numb the opponent and then having Dodrio deliver a fatal blow from the front!
If he could take down this ‘Demon’, not only could he escape, but he’d also gain fame in the hunter world, becoming a savior to all poachers in Kanto!
However, reality didn’t quite align with his expectations.
Seeing this, Asahi’s expression didn’t waver. Instead, he sighed, “When you can’t beat the Pokémon, you go straight for the trainer. You guys never change.”
Before his words fully fell, the air beside Asahi twisted, and a blue figure appeared, standing between Asahi and the charging Dodrio, raising an arm.
“Psychic!”
A blue glow lit up.
Buzz!
As if the pause button had been hit, the charging Dodrio was enveloped in a blue light, frozen in mid-air, unable to move. Its six eyes filled with terror.
“Thanks, Gardevoir. It’s all yours.”
Gardevoir turned to give her trainer a gentle smile before turning back, using Psychic to spin the Dodrio like a pinwheel in the air.
With Dodrio’s terrified screeches echoing in the background, the poaching leader’s menacing expression turned pale.
“Tut-tut, now there’s another charge—attempted murder of a league officer. You’re not getting out for at least ten years.” Asahi patted the poaching leader on the shoulder.
The poaching leader trembled all over, wanting to say something, but with Gardevoir nearby, he dared not utter a word.
Rumor had it that the 'Demon' had a particularly malicious shiny Gardevoir. It must be this one, right?
Listening to Dodrio’s shrieks, the poaching leader figured it must be true.
Asahi wasn’t surprised by Gardevoir’s antics.
His Gardevoir, besides having a different color than normal, did have a slightly different personality too.
Of course, this had nothing to do with him as her trainer.
Though captured poachers often accused him of corrupting Gardevoir’s originally gentle nature into what it is now—a fierce demon.
Only Asahi knew that from the moment he hatched Ralts, it was already chasing around groups of Poliwag with Psychic, stirring up chaos like a little pond tyrant.
Now Gardevoir merely spinning Dodrio around was already a testament to his good teaching.
Not bothering with Gardevoir’s play, Asahi called Officer Jenny to collect the poachers while releasing the Pokémon from the scattered Poké Balls one by one.
Vulpix, Jigglypuff, Clefairy... even an Abra!
These were all valuable Pokémon on the black market, collectively worth quite a bit. No wonder these guys were willing to take the risk.
Hearing Dodrio’s screams, the released Pokémon were too scared to move, even the best escape artist, Abra, stayed put.
Asahi didn’t mind, though. It made things easier for him. He took pictures of the captured Pokémon for evidence, then waved his hand:
“Go on, be careful. Don’t get caught again.”
At his signal, the Pokémon scattered in all directions.
...
As a newcomer to this world for two and a half years, Asahi had gradually gotten used to chasing down poachers with Gardevoir in the nature reserve.
“After being here for so long, I’m feeling a bit reluctant to leave,” Asahi said, looking at the forest.
The poachers, bandaged and handcuffed, shivered at his words, silently pleading for him to leave quickly before someone got hurt.
Officer Jenny, however, seemed to share his sentiment, nodding in agreement: “Yeah, with you around, these poachers wouldn’t dare be so rampant.”
She, too, was reluctant to see Asahi go.
Having worked together for over two years, Asahi had almost single-handedly wiped out poaching in the reserve, striking fear into poachers and significantly reducing her workload.
“Is it true you’re joining the International Police?” Jenny asked.
“Yeah, I don’t know what those guys up top are thinking, sending a ranger to the International Police. Isn’t that ridiculous?” Asahi said, shaking his head.
Jenny rolled her eyes.
For law enforcement like her, joining the International Police was the ultimate goal, yet Asahi seemed disinterested.
“Maybe they think a trainer as strong as you is being underutilized as a ranger,” Jenny suggested.
With Team Rocket becoming increasingly active, the League was spread thin, and they couldn’t afford to leave a trainer as capable as Asahi in the reserve.
As the Pokémon Association president put it: “Poachers? Mere pests!”
Team Rocket, with their organization, plans, and resources, posed a far greater threat to the League.
After logging the last poacher, Jenny closed her notebook and extended her hand: “Anyway, I’ll take these guys. Good luck with the International Police!”
“Same to you!” Asahi smiled.
As their hands shook, the system’s notification sounded in Asahi’s mind.
【Justice Served! Seven poachers arrested, bringing the total to 1003. Title unlocked: “Legendary Ranger.”】
【Please choose your reward!】
【1: The Power of Viridian】
【2: Jynx (Elite Four level)】

“This isn’t even a question. Of course, it’s the Power of Viridian!”
Such an easy choice. Even a youngster in shorts would know the right pick. Although the Fist Plate was tempting, he only had a Gardevoir.
As for an Elite Four-level Jynx...
Asahi preferred raising his own Pokémon. And it had nothing to do with Jynx not fitting his aesthetic taste. Absolutely nothing!
Feeling a warm current flow through his body, Asahi sensed something new within.
He opened the system panel.
