Pallet Town.
Where dreams begin.
It was summer, and Professor Oak's Pokemon Summer Camp was about to begin.
Professor Oak's original intention for holding the Summer Camp was to give children who planned to become Pokemon Trainers more opportunities to interact with Pokemon, and it was also an excellent practical teaching activity that could help these children accumulate some travel experience.
Inside an ordinary two-story building in Pallet Town.
A young boy with short black hair, wearing a red and white baseball cap, a black vest, and a blue jacket, with black Trainer gloves on his hands… In short, he was dressed in Ash's classic attire.
This boy was Ash, but he wasn't the original Ash; he was a transmigrator who was reborn, or perhaps a unlucky soul who drank too little Meng Po's soup.
His real name was Aiden, a rather nonsensical name. In his previous life, he was an expendable office worker and a die-hard fan of Ash, short for die-hard… uh… fan. After years of following the series, when he saw Ash win the Masters Eight Tournament, he impulsively, with his blood boiling, went all-in on buying merchandise… and finally collapsed on the way to pick up a package. Uh… the culprit was a sudden dump truck… there was no pain… he was buried directly… and he didn't even have time to format his phone.
Then, a sloppy thing happened: he just closed and opened his eyes, and he transmigrated!
"Ash, it's time to come down for dinner. Today is the first day of the Summer Camp organized by Professor Oak, so don't be late!" Delia called from downstairs.
"Got it, Mom, I'll be right down!"
Ash slowly went downstairs after tidying his bed.
Delia saw Ash come down. "Breakfast is on the table. After you eat, go report to Professor Oak."
"Mom, do I really need to go so early? The Summer Camp doesn't officially start until 10 o'clock, and it's only 7 now…"
"What are you talking about? Did you forget that you're still Professor Oak's assistant?"
"But I'm already a first-level researcher, so Professor Oak doesn't need me to do odd jobs like that…"
Everything Ash said was true. With his knowledge of Pokémon from his previous life and the Wave Guide Power he awakened not long after birth, he entered Professor Oak's Laboratory when he was five years old. In five years, he went from being the lowest-level assistant to a first-level researcher, and he was only one independent research paper away from becoming a Pokémon Doctor.
According to Ash's understanding, researchers are divided into first, second, and third levels, with first level being the highest, having the right to apply for research funding from the Pokémon League. This funding includes, but is not limited to, money, bodyguards, Pokémon, etc. Above researchers are Doctors.
Of course, Ash could become a Doctor anytime he wanted, as the simplest way was to write a paper on Eevee's evolution research. However, considering his young age, Ash was not in a hurry to get certified as a Doctor, but he had already shown many things to Professor Oak, who also helped him file a record with the League. Ash just hadn't compiled these things into written form.
"You child."
Delia was quite helpless that her own child was so monstrously talented.
Ash quickly devoured the breakfast on the table. "Mom, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road!" Delia urged.
"I know!"
Ash waved his hand dismissively. He had walked the path from his house to Professor Oak's Laboratory countless times; he could walk it with his eyes closed and nothing would happen.
Leaving his house, Ash opened the panel of his golden finger.

The golden finger was bound three days after Ash's birth, named the Pokémon Master Assistance System.
The main functions of this system are: first, it can view Pokémon information. Second, it can perform random draws using League currency. Third, it can purchase items drawn from the lottery in the system store using points. Of course, this store will occasionally feature limited-time items, which could be items from the Pokémon world or tools from other worlds. Fourth, the system will occasionally release missions, with random mission rewards.
Most of Ash's current items were obtained randomly through missions.
"It's been three months since a mission was released. Can you give me some strength, System?" Ash looked at the system panel and couldn't help but sigh.
"There are still five years until I can go out and fight…Pooh… go out and travel, that's right. System, give me some strong rewards. A pioneering journey is really boring."
This world was different from what Ash knew in his previous life. In this world, one needed to be at least fifteen years old to become a Trainer and travel. After all, parents wouldn't feel at ease with a ten-year-old running around the world, not to mention that the wild was full of wild Pokémon. Even an adult could accidentally get the whole village to attend their funeral if they weren't careful.
Soon, Ash arrived at the entrance of Professor Oak's Laboratory. He skillfully walked towards the Pokémon free-range area.
"Oh? Ash, why are you here so early today?"
Professor Oak, who was feeding the Pokémon, was very surprised to see Ash arrive.
According to his understanding of Ash, Ash should be exercising around 8 o'clock.
"Professor, isn't today the first day of the Summer Camp? I came early to see if there was anything I could help with."
"You brat, just not running around is already helping." Professor Oak said grumpily.
In recent years, Ash would occasionally run into Tokiwa Forest by himself. Professor Oak knew that Ash had Wave Guide Power, but entering Tokiwa Forest without a Pokémon was very dangerous. There were many powerful Pokémon hidden in the forest, far from what Aura alone could handle.
The location of this Summer Camp was the outskirts of Tokiwa Forest. Professor Oak was most afraid that after the Summer Camp began, Ash would run into Tokiwa Forest and lead other children participating in the Summer Camp to rush in.
"Professor, are there still 45 spots for the Summer Camp this time?"
Ash asked.
He had paid attention to the previous Summer Camp activities, and the number of participants seemed to have been fixed.
"It was originally 45, but the League saw that this kind of activity was quite helpful for you children, so this year they asked me to increase the number of spots by 10."
"Then you must have made a fortune, Professor?"
Ash looked at Professor Oak with a mischievous smile. This Summer Camp was organized by him, and the number of participants was also set by him. The League was always generous, so Ash concluded that Professor Oak must have 'profited' from agreeing to the League's request this time.
"Just a few Mega Stones and a Key Stone, nothing else."
