Inside a cozy little house, Sho sat on a wooden chair, sipping a glass of juice and some snacks. The house belonged to the boy who had been kidnapped earlier and lives with his grandfather in this house.
As for his parents… who knew where they'd disappeared to? Typical Pokémon world family—someone's always missing.
Sho hadn't planned to be here, but things just turned out that way. After the boy ran off to call the villagers and they arrived along with Little boy grandfather.
His grandfather insisted Sho stay for a while, wanting to thank him for saving his grandson and helping catch the Pokémon smuggler. Yeah, Pokémon smuggler—not some creepy human kidnapper.
Apparently, the boy had stumbled upon the smuggler's hideout all by himself. Before he could alert anyone in the village, he got caught and tied up. That's when Sho showed up—with Frogadier by his side—and turned the whole scene around, becoming the hero of the day.
"I hope the food's to your liking," the grandfather said with a warm smile.
"It's good," Sho replied, though in truth, he actually loved it—simple, homely meals always hit different after a long day.
The old man smiled, then his expression turned a bit serious. "Even though I have nothing precious to give you for protecting my grandson… could you at least accept this?"
Sho quickly waved his hand. "No, it's fine. I was just passing by and happened to run into your grandson, that's all. It wasn't a big deal."
But the old man stood up and brought out a large, crystal-like rock from a small wooden box.
"Here. I don't really know what this is," he said, placing it on the table, "but it should be worth something. If you sell it at a jewelry shop, you might get a good price. These kinds of stones are rare."
Sho's eyes flicked toward it. "No, no… there's really no need for that," he said, trying to refuse. But then—his gaze froze. Right in the middle of the crystal, there was a faint symbol.
'Mega Stone?' Sho's eyes widened slightly.
The symbol looked exactly like the Mega Evolution sign. He'd never seen one in real life before, but just one glance was enough to recognize it.
'Holy moly… this old man's sitting on a Mega Stone and doesn't even know it!' Sho thought, trying to keep a straight face.
"Please," the grandfather insisted, pushing the stone closer to him. "I really hope you'll take it. Don't make me lose face, boy."
Sho was tempted but he couldn't just snatch it like some greedy guy, though. So he put on his best reluctant act. "No, I really can't—"
But the old man's insistence didn't let up, and after a bit more back-and-forth, Sho finally gave in and accepted it, pretending to do so out of politeness—while inside, his heart was practically screaming with excitement.
> Congratulations, Host!
You've obtained a
• Key Stone
Description: A mysterious stone that serves as a medium between a Pokémon Trainer and a Pokémon holding a Mega Stone, allowing them to Mega Evolve.
'So it's a Key Stone, not a Mega Stone…' Sho thought, staring at it in awe even though not mega stone, Key stone might be even more rare than mega stone.
After saying goodbye to the old man and the little boy, Sho asked for directions to the nearest town. Turns out, Ambrette Town wasn't too far away. So he set off again, wandering aimlessly as usual on his journey.
Two days pased by as he walked towards the Ambrette town and Not choosing to fly was to not miss out the Pokémon insides the forest.
Along the way, Sho fought plenty of battles using Frogadier and even caught several new Pokémon — an Espurr, a Fletchinder, a skiddo, Phantump and a Pancham. He'd actually caught Pancham specifically to help him catch a Phantump. Ghost-type Pokémon can be tricky, but with Pancham's Dark-type moves like Dark Pulse, Phantump didn't stand a chance.
Now, Sho found himself in Ambrette Town — famous for its Aquarium and the Fossil Lab.
He was currently sitting by the seaside, holding a fishing rod, with Frogadier underwater helping him search for something special.
The Golden Magicarp.
"How can I ignore a shiny Pokémon when I'm this close?" Sho muttered, eyes fixed on the water. "That golden Magikarp has to be mine."
So far, no sign of it — not even a single glimmer.
Still, Sho wasn't planning to give up. He knew Ambrette Town also had that Fossil Lab where scientists revived Pokémon from ancient fossils. If he remembered correctly, there was supposed to be an Amaura there.
Not exactly the strongest Pokémon, but definitely a rare one.
And for Sho — that was reason enough to catch it.
.......
The sun was setting, painting the sky in warm shades of orange and red. Sho sighed as he reeled in the fishing line one last time — still no sign of the shiny Magikarp. Even Frogadier surfaced, shaking his head slightly, his expression saying it all.
"No luck, huh?" Sho muttered. Frogadier gave a short nod, confirming it.
Just as Sho was about to pack up and leave, something far out in the sea caught his eye — a fish leaping high into the air, its scales glistening under the last rays of the setting sun.
Sho's eyes widened. "The golden Magikarp!" he shouted.
Without hesitation, he activated his Superman mode, blasting off in a sonic streak straight into the water.
---
Magikarp: Trying to catch me, huh? Impossible… but I suppose I'll let you have a glimpse of my brilliance.
This particular golden Magikarp lived freely in the ocean. Over time, he had grown wise — he knew countless people had come searching for him and trying to catch him.
Still, he wasn't afraid since he knew nobody can catch him but he also wanted the human's to see him so occasionally, jumping out of the water just to remind them he was real.
But this time… that little act of pride would turn out to be the biggest mistake of his life.
---
BOOM—SPLASH!
The water erupted. Magikarp's eyes went wide as a glowing red light appeared in front of him.
Magikarp: Wha—what's happening…?
Magikarp seeing two glowing red eyes infront of his eye menacingly, he fainted instantly.
Sho, seeing the unconscious Magikarp slowly sinking toward the seabed, wasted no time. He tossed a Poké Ball into the water — click! — and it sealed with a satisfying sound.
"Gotcha," Sho whispered, retrieving the Poké Ball.
But then he heard voices in the distance — people running toward the beach, probably alerted by the loud sonic boom he'd caused earlier. Without wasting another second, Sho recalled Frogadier into its Poké Ball and shot up into the sky, disappearing toward the nearby forest.
A few worker's probaly from the aquarium reached the shore just in time to catch a glimpse of something flying away — fast, glowing faintly against the twilight.
They looked at each other, unsure of what they'd just witnessed.
"Probably… some kind of Pokémon," one of them murmured.
.....
Sho landed back on the ground and couldn't hold it in anymore—he jumped in pure excitement.
"Heck yeah! I finally caught a shiny Pokémon!" he shouted, grinning from ear to ear.
Without wasting a second, he tossed the Poké Ball. A burst of light flashed, and there it was—the golden Magikarp, flapping weakly on the ground. Its scales shimmered beautifully under the fading sunlight.
Sho crouched down, eyes wide. "Whoa… is this real gold or just the color?" he muttered, reaching out to touch it. The scales felt smooth, almost metallic.
Magikarp: "W-water… whee… is water…" it croaked weakly.
"Oh—sorry, sorry!" Sho quickly held out his hand, forming a floating orb of water with his power. He gently placed Magikarp inside, and the fish Pokémon immediately calmed down, swishing its fins in relief.
Magikarp: "I saw death… right before my eyes…" it murmured dramatically.
Sho gave an awkward smile. "Yeah… my bad, buddy. Didn't mean to scare you like that. Here—take this as an apology."
He pulled out a Pokéblock and tossed it into the water orb. Magikarp blinked, then gobbled it up eagerly.
Magikarp: "Delicious! I've never tasted anything like that before!"
Sho chuckled. "Glad you like it, Golden Boy."
He leaned back with a satisfied grin, watching the shiny Magikarp swim around happily in its little water bubble.
.....
It was late at night, and the sky was quiet—only the soft hum of wind filled the air. Sho was flying high in his Superman mode, scanning the landscape below for the Fossil Lab that supposedly housed an Amaura.
After a few minutes of searching, he spotted a metallic building near the cliffside. "That must be it," he muttered, before diving down silently.
He landed in front of a large steel door. With a faint red glow in his eyes, he used his heat vision to carefully melt through the lock—clean, silent, and precise. The door loosened with a quiet hiss. Sho slipped inside and turned off his Superman mode.
Pulling his stealth cape over himself, he began moving through the dark corridors, his footsteps barely making a sound. After a while, he stopped—there was a chilling breeze coming from one of the side rooms.
"This must be it…" he whispered.
He focused his eyes, using his heat vision without switching to Superman mode. It was something he'd been practicing lately—channeling Kryptonian energy directly from his body. The control wasn't perfect yet, but it worked. He realized he didn't always need the suit to use his powers; the solar energy was already stored inside him in dormant form, waiting to be drawn out whenever he wanted.
He carefully cut the door open and stepped inside. The air was cold—his breath fogged slightly as he walked forward.
There, in the dim blue light, he saw them—an Amaura and its evolved form, Aurorus—both peacefully asleep inside their temperature-controlled chamber. Their icy crystals shimmered faintly, glowing like frozen stars in the darkness.
Sho stood still for a moment, quietly taking in the sight.
Also watching the Amaura curled up beside the Aurorus. Both were sleeping soundly, their bodies glowing faintly under the cold blue light of the chamber.
He looked around—just the two of them. No other fossils revived yet.
Sho crossed his arms, thinking. Should I really catch it?
For a moment, the thought tempted him. But as he watched the two Pokémon breathing softly, side by side, something in him shifted.
"They look peaceful…" he muttered under his breath.
He hesitated. Could he really take care of them? He already had several Pokémon with him—Frogadier, Tyrunt, Espurr, Fletchinder, Pancham, and now the shiny Magikarp. Adding one more, especially a fragile Ice-type like Amaura, didn't seem right.
Sho sighed softly. "Well… let's not catch it today. I can wait until their population increases," he thought, giving one last glance at the two sleeping Pokémon.
He smiled faintly, almost proud of his own decision. Catching Amaura now felt wrong—it was safer and happier here. Once the scientists revived more of them, he could always come back and catch one then.
With that, Sho turned around quietly and left the chamber, the soft hum of the cooling system fading behind him.
As Sho stepped out of the lab, a loud siren suddenly blared through the air. Red warning lights flashed across the hallway, and he could hear people shouting inside.
"Someone's broken the door!" one voice yelled.
Sho froze for a split second before sighing. "Seriously? What kind of security system is this?" he muttered, slightly disappointed . "It didn't beep when I entered, but starts screaming the moment I leave?"
Rolling his eyes, he activated Superman mode and shot up into the sky, vanishing before anyone could catch even a glimpse of him.
---
By the next morning, the world looked calm again. The bright sunlight shimmered over the deep blue sea as Sho sat on a small boat, holding a fishing rod. Frogadier was underwater, helping him search for anything rare or interesting.
"If it looks cool, lure it out," Sho had instructed.
Around him, the rest of his Pokémon were doing their own thing. Fletchinder soared high above, circling lazily in the sky. Espurr was playing with the golden Magikarp, using its psychic powers to lift it into the air and then gently drop it back into the water, much to Magikarp's delight.
Meanwhile, Phantump was busy annoying Pancham, who was lying on the deck sunbathing. Every now and then, Phantump would sneak up and tickle Pancham with one of its branches, earning a grumpy glare.
Sho smiled at the peaceful chaos around him—until the fishing rod suddenly bent sharply.
"Got something!" he shouted, gripping it tight.
With a strong pull, a sleek blue serpent burst out of the water—a Dragonair, its elegant body gleaming in the sunlight, a small white horn on its head and wing-shaped fins fluttering gracefully.
"Dragonair!" Sho grinned. "Phantump, use Energy Ball!"
Phantump stopped teasing Pancham immediately, turned, and fired a glowing green orb straight at the Dragonair. Boom! The attack landed perfectly.
"Frogadier, go! Use Cut!" Sho commanded.
Frogadier leapt out of the sea like a ninja, spinning midair as a series of swift, slashing strikes cut through the air, striking Dragonair before landing gracefully back on the boat.
The wounded Dragonair tried to break free from the hook, but Sho was faster. He threw a Poké Ball — it blinked once, twice — then clicked shut.
"I caught a Dragonair!"
With Dragonair joining the team, Sho's adventure in Ambrette Town had finally come to an end. The sun was dipping below the horizon, painting the ocean waves in shades of orange and gold.
Sho sat on the beach with all his Pokémon around him — Frogadier perched beside him, Fletchinder circling above, Espurr sitting cross-legged in the sand, Pancham dozing peacefully, Phantump hovering nearby, Magikarp splashing in the shallow waves, and the newly caught Dragonair coiled elegantly beside the shore.
It was calm, quiet… the kind of moment that felt like the perfect ending to a long day.
Sho stretched his arms and smiled. "Not bad," he muttered, watching the sunset. Then he called out, "System, open up."
A glowing blue screen appeared before him. Sho scrolled through the data — 21 gacha tickets collected so far. But he also noticed something strange. The number of daily system tasks had been dropping lately.
"Hmm… weird," he thought. "Guess it's slowing down for some reason."
Shrugging. "Well, whatever. Let's roll ten!"
He stood up, his energy back again. "It's gacha time!" he said aloud.
A humming sound filled the air as a large, capsule-like gacha machine materialized in front of him. Sho grabbed the handle and gave it a strong yank. The machine spun, lights flashing and ticking, before stopping with a satisfying ding.

"A Pokémon farm, huh? Sounds good… but where is it?" Sho muttered, feeling a strange shift inside him.
A faint grey fog began to swirl around his hand, slowly spreading until it surrounded him and his Pokémon. In the next moment, the world changed. Sho found himself standing in a vast green field under a bright sun. As far as his eyes could see, the land stretched endlessly in all directions, covered in soft grass that danced with the wind.
"It's pretty big…" he murmured, taking flight to get a better view.
Sho wanting to see how is flew straight ahead—only to suddenly crash into an invisible wall. The entire area was perfectly circular, sealed off like a contained world. As for the sun it was like original sun but there was no space; it hung within a dome-like blue sky, glowing just like the original but without any Planetary rotation.
System, will the sun here shine all the time?" Sho asked, looking up. "Since there's no actual planet, won't it stay bright for twenty-four hours straight?"
> The sun will rise and set just like how it happens in a normal planet. As for how that happens, Host would need to study advanced laws of space and dimensional creation to understand it fully.
"I see," Sho nodded thoughtfully. "If the sun stayed up all day, the Pokémon probably wouldn't like it… except maybe the Grass-types."
He paused, then asked curiously, "By the way, System, how can I learn about those space and dimension laws? Can you teach me?"
> Win it in a Gacha. I don't have the necessary knowledge to teach such things.
"I see…" Sho sighed, a little disappointed though he felt that System knows it but doesn't wanna teach him.
Turning to his Pokémon, he smiled. "You guys can stay here. From now on, this will be your home."
With that, he stepped out of the Pokémon farm. The fog swirled open like a magical doorway, wrapping around him and gently pulling him through. In the blink of an eye, Sho found himself back on the beach — the same waves crashing softly against the shore as if nothing had changed.
"Now it's time to head back home," Sho muttered softly deciding to end his trip a little early than planned and he can come bavk here any time so it wasn't problem.
After watching the last golden rays of the setting sun fade over the horizon. The gentle sound of waves echoed in the background as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the Dimensional Key.
