Chapter 1 No way, my initial Pokémon is actually a Magikarp!

Dragon Kingdom.

Jianghai City.

Pokémon League.

"Sorry, these are the only three Pokémon that have not been claimed. Which one would you like to claim?"

Lin Rui looked at the only three Pokémon left in front of him and felt terrible.

It was such an important day to receive the initial Pokémon, but he actually overslept.

He has been waiting for this moment for three years since he traveled to this world.

According to the laws of Dragon Country, any young person who is 18 years of age or older can go to the local Pokémon League on their 18th birthday to receive a starting Pokémon for free.

The order in which you receive your initial Pokémon is based on the first-come, first-served principle.

Because Lin Rui overslept, when he arrived at the Pokémon League, the only ones left were Caterpillar, Rattata, and a Magikarp.

Now, let alone the quasi-gods, even the three great families are gone.

Of course, there won’t be quasi-gods in this kind of free initial Pokémon distribution, but there will still be the Big Three.

However, these three royal families had already been chosen.

Looking at the Caterpillar, Rattata and Magikarp in front of him, under normal circumstances, Lin Rui would not even look at them.

He wouldn't even want a weak Pokémon like this one even if it was given to him for free.

But if he missed this opportunity, he would have to spend money to buy the initial Pokémon from the breeding house on the market.

In the breeding house, even the most common Caterpillar costs hundreds of thousands, and the better Pokémon cost millions.

This is not something an ordinary family can afford.

Just like in the other world, his parents in this world are also ordinary people.

Nothing has changed because of his time travel.

Thinking of his parents in another world, who sold their house to support his studies.

Lin Rui told himself more than once that he must be filial to his parents in this life.

Therefore, he would never even think about spending money to buy the initial Pokémon.

He would rather be an ordinary person all his life than let his parents spend a penny on him.

But he was unwilling to accept this. He had finally traveled to this world where humans and Pokémon coexisted. He had knowledge that others did not have, but he could only be an ordinary person.

"It seems that we can only find the general among the dwarfs!"

Eliminate the Rattata first.

Whether in terms of strength or growth potential, Rattata is the weakest of the three Pokémon, and it eats a lot.

After comprehensive comparison, choosing Lada is the most cost-effective.

Next, it’s a choice between Caterpillar and Magikarp.

The advantages and disadvantages of the green caterpillar are equally obvious.

The advantage is that it has three stages of evolution, is easy to keep, and evolves quickly.

Caterpillar can evolve into Metapod at level 7 and into Butterfree at level 10, forming impressive combat power.

The disadvantage is that Butterfree's upper limit is not high and it cannot be put on the table.

But if it can be Gigantamaxed, Butterfree's strength will also be quite impressive.

Magikarp also has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that after Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, its strength will be greatly improved, and it can also mega evolve.

The disadvantage is that Magikarp has a long evolution cycle and it takes until level 20 to evolve into Gyarados.

Before this, Magikarp had almost no combat power, and only when it reached level 15 could it learn its first attack move - collision!

Moreover, it is unable to learn other moves through the move learning machine.

To be honest, comparing the two, Lin Rui actually prefers Magikarp.

After all, Magikarp is still quite powerful after evolving into Gyarados.

But once he chooses Magikarp, he must be prepared to be bullied in the early stages.

After hesitating for less than three seconds, Lin Rui made his final choice.

"I choose Magikarp."

The reason why Lin Rui chose Magikarp was mainly because there was no such thing as mega evolution, Z moves, Dynamax, or Taicrystalization in this world.

So, if we talk about combat power alone, Gyarados is far ahead of Butterfree.

"Okay, please show me your ID. We need to register you."

In less than a minute, the lady at the counter handed Lin Rui the Poké Ball containing the Magikarp and a certificate.

"This is your junior trainer qualification certificate. With it, you will be a real Pokémon trainer."

"After that, you can upgrade the level of your certificate by taking the assessment. I wish you a bright future."

"Thank you!"

Lin Rui thanked him and took the Poké Ball and the qualification certificate.

At this moment, an electronic sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first Pokémon. The negative emotion collection system has been activated! ]

The sudden sound startled Lin Rui, but he soon became excited.

It's been three years!

Tongzi, I've been waiting for you so hard!

The joy he felt from the arrival of the system made him unable to help but pick up Magikarp's Poké Ball and kiss it madly.

"Magikarp, I love you so much!"

This scene stunned the lady working at the counter behind the glass window.

"What a nice guy, why did he go crazy? He just had no choice but to choose Magikarp as his starting Pokémon. Is it necessary to be like this?"

[Ding! Negative emotions from Jiang Yaoyao, +99...]

Huh?

What the hell is this negative emotion?

Who is this Jiang Yaoyao?

Lin Rui was immersed in joy in the previous second, and in the next second his attention was attracted by the electronic panel that suddenly popped up.

He looked around and there was no one else around.

There is only the counter lady behind the glass window.

Could it be that this young lady’s name is Jiang Yaoyao?

In order to verify his guess, Lin Rui kissed Magikarp's Poké Ball again.

At the same time, he kept observing her reaction out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, Lin Rui saw her frown.

The next second, a new message popped up on the electronic panel in front of him.

[Ding! Negative emotions from Jiang Yaoyao, +101...]

Same as the previous message, the only difference is that the negative emotion has been increased by 2 points.

Although he found out who Jiang Yaoyao was, Lin Rui still didn't know what the use of this negative emotion value was.

Forget it, if you can’t figure it out, just forget about it. I’ll study it after I get home.

Then, Liu Rui walked out of the Pokémon League without caring about his relatives.

at the same time.

Jiang Yaoyao looked at Lin Ruiyuan's back from behind the glass window and couldn't help but complain: "It seems he is really a fool."

At this time, Lin Rui had just walked out of the Pokémon League when an electronic panel popped up in front of him.

[Ding! Negative emotions from Jiang Yaoyao, +100...]
