Pokémon: Starting From Zero as a Legendary Pokémon

"Hello there."

Korrina greeted her warmly.

"My partner scared you, didn't she? Sorry about that."

"Oh, right—this is for you."

"Think of it as an apology~"

Korrina took out a set of universally compatible Pokéblocks and offered them to Victini.

Mm.

A very familiar tactic.

First, speak gently.

Then offer delicious food.

After that, naturally build a relationship and smoothly invite her onto the team, right?

'This human wants to capture me.'

'Pfft pfft pfft, I'm not that dumb. I won't get tricked by you.'

Victini instantly arrived at that conclusion.

She didn't accept the Pokéblocks.

'Besides, Sora said I shouldn't casually eat things from strangers outside.'

Victini was an exceptionally obedient good girl.

She definitely wouldn't make that kind of mistake.

"Bini~~"

So, Victini turned invisible once more and drifted away from Korrina's group.

"She disappeared again?!"

Now even Korrina realized something was wrong.

Foresight wasn't a one-time-use move.

Its effects were supposed to persist for a while.

Yet somehow, it completely failed against Victini.

This sudden development directly overturned Korrina's understanding of Pokémon battles.

'Why is this happening?'

In truth, there was nothing strange about it.

The essence of moves was simply a Pokémon's manipulation of attribute energy.

For most Legendary Pokémon, encountering Foresight like this would indeed be troublesome.

But Victini was different.

As a Legendary capable of controlling all forms of energy, Victini had already erased the marker Foresight left on her body.

To Victini, as long as it was energy, no one could surpass her in control.

Any form of energy she experienced even once could be completely analyzed by her.

Aura power.

The essence of Foresight.

If Victini wanted to, the next time she encountered Foresight, she could even activate countermeasures beforehand to prevent her invisibility from being broken.

"Heeheehee~"

Victini was delighted by Korrina's shocked expression.

She, Victini, absolutely wasn't freeloading around Sora.

Every single thing Sora said while training Pokémon, Victini remembered carefully.

How to finely manipulate energy.

How to convert attribute energy.

Victini understood those principles better than anyone.

Theoretically, given enough time, Victini could replicate any move and copy any Pokémon ability.

Others simulated techniques within their bodies.

Victini recreated the effects externally, conjuring them from nothing.

That was the developmental path Sora had prepared for Victini.

"Can you still sense where it is?"

Korrina was completely fascinated by Victini.

No matter how she searched through her memories, she couldn't find any information on this Pokémon.

"That child must be an undiscovered Pokémon!!"

"There's no mistake about it!!"

If she could become friends with her and obtain firsthand information—

Just imagining it made Korrina incredibly excited.

"The reputation of the Shalour Gym would definitely rise to another level!"

"Sniff sniff."

Mienfoo twitched its nose and pointed in a direction, indicating where Victini had flown off to.

"Quick, let's catch up!"

No Trainer could resist the temptation of a rare Pokémon.

Whether they recognized it or not didn't matter.

Just go for it!

"Bini?"

Flying through the air, Victini glanced back and saw Korrina speeding after her on roller skates.

It was honestly hard to understand how the girl managed to move through dense forest wearing those things.

Shouldn't she be falling over constantly?

'Whoa, she just skated over a cliff wall.'

'That's amazing. It's just like the acrobatics Sora talked about.'

'She can even glide on one foot through gaps that tiny. Is she really human?'

Along the way, Victini neither shook Korrina off nor erased her scent trail.

As a result, she got to witness Korrina's roller-skating skills firsthand.

They were absurdly good.

'Is this what Sora meant by hidden masters among ordinary people?'

Victini didn't mind interacting with humans.

More importantly, she genuinely couldn't sense any malice from Korrina.

Back in the Kingdom of Azoth, Victini had already played around with Kimia, Fula Meryl, and Raleigh.

As long as a human sincerely loved Pokémon, Victini was more than happy to share her power and offer help.

Like earlier—

If Lucario and the others hadn't been enough, then the moment things became truly dangerous, Victini would absolutely have stepped in to save Korrina and her team.

"Better leave this to Sora."

Victini decided not to continue teasing Korrina.

Instead, she planned to lead them over and let Sora handle the explanation personally.

Thus, following the scent trail Victini intentionally left behind, Korrina and her Pokémon rushed straight into the grassy clearing where Sora had set up camp.

"Huff… huff…"

After sprinting nonstop, Korrina was panting heavily.

"Th-this place is…?"

The first thing she saw when she looked up was Sora sitting not far away.

This was a grassy slope beside a lake, with temporary camping equipment neatly arranged across it.

Tents.

Cooking utensils.

Tables and chairs.

Clearly someone was out here camping in the wild.

"Whoa, you scared the hell out of me!"

Sora had turned at the commotion only to suddenly see a girl jump out of the bushes.

"Where did you even pop out from?"

"Binini~~ Heehee!"

Seeing Victini reveal herself nearby, Sora immediately guessed what had happened.

"Vee!"

Sora said:

"So you're the one who lured her over here?"

The classic line slipped out naturally.

Then he grabbed Victini in one swift motion and refined her on the spot.

…Alright, kidding.

Instead, Sora picked Victini up in his arms and walked over to the panting girl.

"You okay?"

"Did my Victini prank you or something?"

In Sora's eyes, there were only two possibilities behind the girl chasing Victini.

Either she wanted to capture her—

or Victini had caused some kind of trouble and led the victim here.

"Uh…"

Korrina straightened up and hurriedly shook her head.

"No, no!"

"I was just attracted by her, so I followed her here."

'Oh no… I think I messed up!'

The intimacy between Victini and Sora made their relationship obvious at a glance.

This Pokémon already had a Trainer.

Which meant Korrina's earlier behavior had been rather rude.

From Korrina's perspective, coveting someone else's Pokémon was unquestionably wrong.
