(Two old Pokémon novels, both over a million words, one with a 9-point rating, so feel free to read them.)
(Memories are pearls.)
“Shi Yuguang? Just a clichéd novelist.”
Mu Zong lay tiredly on the bed, turning off the novel that hadn't even released its extra chapters yet.
“The mutated crops for the module are almost done, I’m so tired…”
He closed his eyes.
But then, a violent knocking sound came from beside his ear.
“You’re so noisy!”
He suddenly opened his eyes, his irritable voice freezing the expression on the man opposite him.
The glaring light made Mu Zong very uncomfortable; he looked around and realized he seemed to be in a prison cell.
This is?
Did he die suddenly and transmigrate?
“You can play dumb, but everything you say will become…” The man in uniform’s expression turned cold.
But before he could finish, Mu Zong interrupted him, “I know, court evidence, but… let me compose myself first.”
The uniformed man was stunned, not understanding why Mu Zong had suddenly changed from his previous cowardly demeanor, but since it was a serious matter, he should be given time to rest.
He closed his mouth, looking at Mu Zong, who was holding his head and closing his eyes.
Just as Mu Zong himself thought, he had transmigrated.
The original owner was just an ordinary teenager, growing up, going to school, unremarkable, with an imperfect Family, only an elderly grandfather supporting him through his studies.
Well, now his grandfather was gone too.
Just a moment ago, before he transmigrated, the other party informed him that his grandfather had been buried many days ago, but they hadn't told him for fear of affecting his studies.
As for why he was sitting here.
It was due to the unique nature of this world.
Pokémon...
They were magical creatures, and this was a world with Pokémon!
It was both familiar and strange to Mu Zong.
However, there was a huge problem currently before him.
He had committed a crime.
Or rather, he couldn't possibly have committed a crime.
Just last night, three rare Dragon-type Dragon Eggs, the museum's Aerodactyl fossil, the auction house's Mega Bracelet, and seventy million Alliance Points from the central bank's vault all disappeared simultaneously.
Surveillance footage only captured Mu Zong’s figure.
Extremely ridiculous!
“Are you ready? If there are no issues, please sign the confession. Your actions are extremely egregious, but if you sign, you can receive leniency. According to Pokémon law, you…”
His words were unfinished, again interrupted by Mu Zong.
Mu Zong took the pen, and a smile appeared on the uniformed man’s face.
But then, that smile froze on his face.
“Do you think that’s possible? Although I don’t know exactly what Pokémon law states, I imagine if I sign this, will I ever get out of prison in this lifetime?”
Mu Zong held the pen and drew a big “X” on the confession.
“Sorry, I didn’t commit a crime.” Mu Zong dropped the pen, his handcuffs clinking, “And I will never confess!”
He had just inexplicably transmigrated, so he couldn't have done such a thing, and the original owner was a cowardly teenager, even less likely.
He was framed!
If it really were him, he wouldn’t be sitting here, but rather in a window seat somewhere, casually twirling a fountain pen, a metallic pendant faintly visible beside his school badge, reflecting a rainbow-colored evolutionary glow.
“You!”
The uniformed man slapped the table and stood up, not expecting Mu Zong to react this way.
Mu Zong's face showed no fear despite the loud noise.
“I want to see Jenny, I want to see Jenny!” He said, then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
From beginning to end, the original owner never saw Jenny.
Instead, under intimidation and the news of his grandfather, he was heartbroken and simply passed away.
No matter what the uniformed man said or did, Mu Zong just maintained his stance.
Until Jenny's arrival.
This wasn't called by the man, but by procedure.
The interrogation time was over; it was Jenny's turn to step in.
She picked up the confession from the floor, her expression growing colder and colder.
Smelling a different scent in the air, Mu Zong opened his eyes.
“I didn’t commit a crime, and I couldn’t possibly have done these things,” Mu Zong said.
“Understood, there must be something fishy about this matter. Jenny’s eyes will not be blinded by some people… Thankfully, you didn’t sign the confession.” Jenny nodded seriously.
The law was full of clauses that restricted Jenny, such as this confession.
Mu Zong showed a smile.
This world was strange in that it seemed different from the TV show and anime.
But what was familiar was the countless Pokémon, and two groups.
Jenny, Joy.
This was also his confidence before.
The handcuffs on his hands were opened.
“Although this case is clearly suspicious, according to regulations, you will be repatriated to your hometown until the truth comes out, and temporarily stripped of your right to become a Trainer and engage in official battles… I apologize.”
This was a direct blow to everyone in this world.
But it was also a form of protection for Mu Zong.
Mu Zong, however, breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he wasn't stuck in prison.
In his previous life, he was also a good, upstanding youth, although he often stayed indoors for months just coding.
But going to jail or anything like that, no thanks.
Before leaving the police station, the man reappeared in his sight, and beside him was a Salazzle.
Mu Zong raised his arm; there were still some burns on his wrist.
The original owner had been dragged from the classroom by this Salazzle.
The Pokémon levels in this world start with Poké Ball, followed by Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Master Ball.
Above these are the Elite and Champion.
And this Salazzle was an Ultra Ball level.
Now, she and her Trainer looked at Mu Zong with a gloomy expression.
Mu Zong thought for a moment, then extended his hand.
And silently gave the middle finger.
After all, he wasn't the type to take a loss.
“Damn brat!” The man’s face immediately showed displeasure.
However, the next moment, Jenny came before him and handcuffed his hands.
“Now it’s your turn to come with me.”
Jenny immediately saw the suspicion in the matter; this person definitely had a problem.
Mu Zong, meanwhile, took the ticket Jenny gave him and headed to the train station.
Going home.
In Mu Zong’s hand, there was also a metal card.
This card had a positioning function.
After all, he was currently a suspect, and if it weren't for the Jenny Family, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out.
But for Mu Zong, this card was less about surveillance and more about protection.
“Clearing my name… Original owner, you really left me a difficult main quest.”
Mu Zong sighed, but a smile still appeared at the corner of his mouth as he looked around.
His boring life in the previous world was finally over.
By the fountain, there were running Bellsprout; on the eaves, there were flashing Aipom; and beside humans, there were their respective partners.
Sitting on the train, the surroundings were just as he had imagined.
The technology tree in this world was skewed.
He saw someone pull countless items from a small backpack, and he also saw that they could only read newspapers.
“Thanks…”
Mu Zong took the finished newspaper he had asked from the person next to him.
It was reporting on yesterday’s events.
Experts even stated that this shocking major case caused the city's GDP to drop by 0.6%.
“Oh no, I’ve become the Great Sage of Balancing Accounts.” Mu Zong grinned.
Gazing out the window, his thoughts began to wander.
What kind of Pokémon would he live with in the future?
His memory of home was in Qinghe Town, a corner of the Huang Yue Region, not present in the original work.
