Pokémon: Starting From Zero as a Legendary Pokémon

According to Korrina, humans in this world could generally be divided into three categories.

To put it simply:

humans whose vitality rivaled Pokémon, humans whose durability rivaled Pokémon, and humans whose offensive power rivaled Pokémon.

Honestly, the classification had a very primitive sort of beauty to it.

After transmigrating into this world, Sora suspected he'd been altered somewhat by the rules of the Pokémon world.

His "Poké-human physique" manifested mainly in vitality.

Meaning—if a Pokémon attacked him, he would feel pain and get injured, but he wouldn't die easily.

If I'd had this level of recovery in my previous life, what would a truck-kun collision even matter?

In fact, most humans in the Pokémon world belonged to this category.

The "Super Pallet Town Human" meme from fanfiction actually referred to the second category.

Those people possessed utterly absurd physiques.

Practically bodies of steel.

Take Team Rocket's Jessie and James, for example.

Over the course of the entire series, who even knew how many Pokémon attacks they'd endured?

Yet they never lost limbs or suffered permanent injuries.

At worst, their clothes got dirty.

The same went for Professor Oak and Ash.

In Sora's eyes, those people were basically superheroes.

"So humans can withstand Pokémon attacks…"

"I see now!"

Sora's eyes lit up as he suddenly recalled something.

Jarvis and the others had survived a midair airship explosion and a fall from extreme altitude without even scraping their skin.

He honestly suspected those people could eat a Hyper Beam head-on and still bounce back up alive.

Back then, Sora absolutely hadn't held back.

He'd fully intended to kill them.

Yet they were simply too durable.

Nothing happened.

No wonder the anime almost never showed casualties.

I thought it was just because it was a children's series.

Turns out the world itself works differently.

Of course, even second-category Poké-humans could still die if repeatedly attacked by Pokémon.

It was similar to a Pokémon's self-protection mechanism.

Once that mechanism broke down, they'd become like ordinary first-category humans—

they could be crippled or killed.

Considering that humans in this world might themselves be a kind of Pokémon…

Sora thought.

Then this really isn't strange at all.

"What about you, Korrina? Which category are you?"

Suppressing those alarming thoughts, Sora instead asked her for more details.

"As for me, I'm probably somewhere between the first and second categories."

Korrina explained:

"Most people in the Azoth Kingdom are about the same."

In other words—their durability was much stronger than ordinary humans, but not to ridiculous levels like Ash casually carrying Cosmoem weighing 999 kilograms.

Their strength, stamina, and endurance still remained within relatively human standards.

They were simply much tougher and less likely to die.

"And that's only the second category?"

"Then how terrifying is the third?"

Suddenly, Sora realized something.

"The third category you mentioned… those are Ability users, right?"

"Exactly!"

Korrina nodded.

"How much destruction can pure physical strength really cause? At most, smashing a few rocks."

Power like that could hardly compare to Pokémon.

However, the Pokémon world genuinely contained groups of people possessing all kinds of supernatural powers.

Psychic powers.

Aura.

Aura Guardian abilities.

Viridian powers.

And among them, the most common were Psychics.

A sufficiently powerful Psychic could destroy an entire castle with telekinesis alone.

Special criticism here directed toward a certain Unova Psychic Elite Four member.

Sora politely decided not to mention her name and spare her some dignity.

Then there was Sabrina from Kanto.

When Sora watched the anime back then, he'd already wondered—

turning people into dolls?

Are you sure this woman isn't just a humanoid Pokémon?

He even suspected that if Sabrina wanted to, she could probably learn every Psychic-type move in existence.

At that point, what difference would there even be between her and an actual Psychic Pokémon?

Most Psychic Pokémon below level fifty or sixty wouldn't even qualify to challenge her.

"So that's how it is."

Sora felt genuinely enlightened.

He was once again realizing just how absurdly unique the Pokémon world truly was.

Still, the emergence of these three human categories wasn't determined purely by bloodline.

The Pokémon world's supernatural phenomena were almost always connected to Pokémon themselves.

People like Sabrina and Caitlin, for example—

their ancestors probably received blessings from certain Legendary Pokémon, allowing psychic abilities to be inherited generation after generation.

In other words—

Poké-humans weren't defined by bloodline.

They were defined by fate and connection with Pokémon.

The deeper the bond, the greater the potential.

"Hm?"

As they walked, Sora noticed movement behind a nearby rock.

He stopped Korrina.

"Vee, is there a Pokémon over there?"

"Bini?"

Victini flew over and sure enough discovered a Binacle hiding behind the stone.

How to put this…

Among all Pokémon designs, Binacle ranked near the top in terms of sheer absurdity.

Whenever Sora saw one, he immediately thought of the old Chinese cartoon Calabash Brothers.

There was a claw-shaped monster in that show.

Binacle looked almost exactly like that.

A rock with two claw-arms growing out of it, each claw possessing eyes and a mouth.

Sora honestly couldn't understand trainers willing to catch this kind of Pokémon.

Still—different people had different tastes.

"Master?"

"I want to ask this little guy something."

Without needing instructions, Victini naturally began communicating with Binacle.

The conversation was simple: they were looking for Carbink, and through them, hoping to obtain clues about the Diamond Domain.

"Gulu~~"

Unfortunately, Binacle shook its body, indicating it had never seen any Carbink.

Then it hopped away into the darkness together with the rock serving as its base, clearly unwilling to interact with humans.

"It wouldn't even take Pokéblocks?"

Sora felt a little awkward.

Korrina explained:

"A lot of trainers travel this route regularly, Master. So you understand, right?"

"The Pokémon here get captured often?"

"If it were just capturing them, that wouldn't be so bad."

Korrina sighed.

"A lot of trainers specifically seek out wild Pokémon to battle. Only the talented ones get caught."

As for those with poor talent—

they got beaten up and abandoned underground to fend for themselves.

"That's a bit excessive."

Sora frowned slightly.

Back when reading fanfiction, protagonists constantly fought wild Pokémon for experience points.

At first glance, it didn't seem like a big deal.

But those Pokémon got beaten up for no reason and injured in the process.

"…Sigh."

Sora let out a long breath.

There was no way for him to change this.

Even the League itself couldn't fully stop it.

The moral quality of trainers varied wildly.

And beyond ordinary trainers, there were also poachers, mercenaries, and criminals everywhere.

The fact that the League could maintain order in populated areas at all was already impressive enough.
