"Sanji, wake up, Sanji, wake up..."

The darkness faded, and Lin Fang's consciousness woke up in a new body. Opening his eyes, he found himself lying by a river, with the tearful voice of a young girl calling the name Sanji in his ear.

It seemed that this was the name of his current body.

Sanji?

If it were Vinsmoke Sanji, that would be quite a coincidence.

Lin Fang sat up, looking at the anxious brown-haired girl beside him wearing something like overalls, then looked down at his own clearly younger body.

Lin Fang looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"

"Sanji, you... you don't recognize me?" The girl, who had been overjoyed to see him wake up, looked shocked. "I'm Lily, your sister Lily!"

"So you're this body's sister," Lin Fang nodded thoughtfully, then asked an even more startling question, "How did he die?"

This body? How did he die?

These cold words made Lily tremble. She shrank back in fear. The young man before her clearly had her brother's face, but his gaze was so unfamiliar it was chilling.

"Waaah..." The girl's voice was tearful, and tears fell uncontrollably. "Sanji, don't scare me... this isn't funny at all..."

The crying made even the cold-hearted Lin Fang soften slightly, and his tone became a bit gentler.

"If you don't want to die, speak up."

"It... it was a Rattata..." Lily stammered. "We... we were gathering Berries when a Rattata suddenly appeared. You... Sanji wanted to catch it and accidentally rolled down the hillside..."

His excellent memory allowed Lin Fang to recall what the Rattata she mentioned was, and he couldn't help but frown.

He actually fell to his death trying to catch a mouse.

No, he must have been critically injured and dying...

Lin Fang asked Lily a few more questions, then found an old mobile phone in his pocket. After searching online, he finally understood his situation.

First, this was indeed the world of Detective Pikachu. Lin Fang searched and found Lime City in eastern America, as well as Clifford Industries, the villainous force in the movie's plot.

What surprised Lin Fang was the historical development of this planet.

A thousand years ago, the development of this world was much the same as the real Earth. It wasn't until people discovered the Pokemon living in Australia that history diverged significantly. This was also the first record humans had of Pokemon.

And the land where the Pokemon lived wasn't called Australia in this world; it was now called Osialia. As for the origin of Pokemon, countless scholars had investigated it, and in modern times, some had even gone deep into the heart of Osialia, but it remained unknown.

Since the discovery of Osialia, Pokemon had spread all over the world.

And the unlucky guy he possessed... or rather, a lucky one, was named Takahashi Sanji. His goal in trying to catch that Rattata was simple: to sell it at the market to supplement the family's income. The price of a wild Rattata in the Pokemon market was 20,000 yen, enough for a family's food for half a month.

After reading the history of this world, a mysterious smile suddenly played at the corners of Lin Fang's mouth.

"Let's go back," Lin Fang stuffed the phone back into his pocket, his tone calm but indisputable.

"Where to?"

Lily asked timidly.

"Home, of course. Do you want to stay here?"

"No, no," Lily was startled. After the conversation, her fear of Lin Fang had lessened slightly. She hurried ahead to lead the way for this unfamiliar "brother," but before long, a tan rat as tall as half a person blocked their path.

This large rat had blood-red eyes and bared its sharp incisors, letting out a threatening growl at the two of them.

Lin Fang observed it. Tsk, one bite from that would take out a chunk of flesh. According to the data, most wild Pokemon were ferocious. Pokemon that could live alongside humans were either tamed or raised from a young age.

This should be the evolved form of Rattata.

"It's... it's a Raticate!" Lily retreated in terror, instinctively pulling Lin Fang. "Brother, run!"

Lin Fang didn't move. This weak body couldn't outrun the rat in front of him.

Then there was only fighting.

Come out!

Lin Fang flicked his wrist, and an 84.3cm silver-white pulse rifle appeared in his hand. This was the Series 4 Atomic Fission Gun he had previously purchased from Black Star.

Thanks to the Wormhole opened by the Kaminax Tribe on Titan leading to the Pacific Rim Dimension, Lin Fang could also put real objects into his Spacetime Package and then store them in the warehouse.

He just needed to transfer items from reality to other dimensions through the Wormhole. This gun was something Lin Fang had specifically prepared with great effort.

How could one explore dimensions without a good weapon?

To be safe,

Lin Fang set the gun's setting to Disintegrate (Level 4), which was the maximum power of the Atomic Fission Gun.

"Wha... what is this?" Lily looked at the weapon that appeared out of thin air and was beyond her understanding, her mind going blank.

Hum—

With a slight sound of energy activation, the upper half of the Raticate pouncing in mid-air was instantly dissolved. Its lower half maintained its forward momentum, the remains falling powerlessly to the ground and rolling twice.

Everything happened in a flash. This Raticate died without even letting out a scream.

Lin Fang checked the corpse.

This wasn't the first Pokemon to die by a gun. Weapon development in this world was similar to the modern era, and even more comprehensive to deal with various types of Pokemon. Otherwise, how could humans live on the same planet as these creatures with extraordinary abilities and penetrate deep into the heart of the Pokemon kingdom, Osialia?

Is it love?

Of course not. The historical conflicts on this planet were bloody and tragic. It wasn't until people discovered that while weapons could kill Pokemon, they couldn't tame them, let alone utilize the various incredible benefits they brought.

Thus, the logic of war changed. Conquest and extermination were replaced by coexistence and utilization, but humans remained the dominant species on this planet.

And the Pokemon...

Current elementary school textbooks usually say it like this: Tamed Pokemon are humanity's best friends.
