Chapter 1 Agumon
Sinnoh Region, Random Town.
East of the town, within a large, ancient ruin abandoned for thousands of years, a boy was running wildly.
His strides were enormous, and his speed was incredible, allowing him to traverse every level of the ruins in an instant.
Passing through level after level, the boy showed no sign of slowing down, occasionally turning back to shout loudly behind him.
"Have you all slept for thousands of years and lost your brains? Or have you gone mad from starvation? You haven't caught up in so long, and you still dare to guard the ruins? Even Slowpoke has to give you a thumbs up!"
His booming voice echoed through the passages, quickly disappearing into the shadows behind him.
But as time passed, the darkness remained silent, without a sound.
"They've gotten immune to this tactic after using it so much,"
the boy muttered, then decided to try a different approach. Raising his voice, he shouted, "If you don't catch up, I'm going to start dismantling the ruins! These millennia-old junks are probably obsolete by now!"
As he spoke, he picked up a stone and hurled it at the wall.
*Bang!*
The stone struck the wall, the crisp cracking sound echoing through the passage, but silence remained.
However, seemingly out of nowhere, a gigantic black eye appeared where the stone had struck.
Then, around this eye, on the passage's floor, walls, and ceiling, countless other eyes slowly emerged.
They slowly opened their tightly closed eyes, their gazes initially scanning the surroundings blankly. But when their eyes focused on the boy, they instantly reacted as if they had seen a sworn enemy, emitting angry and sharp cries.
"Giggle!!!"
Then, these gigantic eyes burst from the walls, transforming into streaks of black light as they charged towards the boy.
In the dim light of the ruins, one could vaguely discern that these were Pokémon resembling the 26 letters of the English alphabet, exuding an aura of ancient times. These
were Unown, Pokémon devoted to guarding ancient ruins.
"That's more like it, work should be done with more enthusiasm,"
the boy nodded in satisfaction, then took off running.
Seeing the smile on the boy's face, the Unown were instantly enraged and sped up to give chase.
But each time they were about to catch up, the boy would suddenly turn, expertly navigating another passage to evade pursuit.
It was as if, compared to them, the boy was the true guardian of this ruin.
This infuriated the Unown, but they were powerless to stop him, only able to give chase.
Fortunately, after several turns and changes of direction, the boy, who had been running at high speed, gradually slowed down and eventually came to a stop.
The corner ahead, which had been a normal passage, was now blocked by a huge boulder due to the partial collapse of the ruins.
It was a dead end.
The unknown totems noticed this and let out gloating cries.
With the path blocked ahead and them completely surrounding them, they were clearly at their wits' end.
Then, the unknown totems quickly activated their only technique—Awakening Power.
Red, blue, green, purple… streams of energy of various colors, radiating powerful auras, rapidly converged before them.
The next second, the energy that filled the entire passage poured out towards where the boy stood.
Faced with this seemingly inescapable situation, the boy stared blankly, but surprisingly showed no panic.
Seeing the attack approaching within range, he quickly ducked and rolled to the side, skillfully hiding in a gap in the wall just large enough for one person.
"Boom!!!"
A deafening explosion echoed through the passage.
All the attacks from the Unown grazed past him, most striking the spot where he had just stood, blasting a large crater in the ground.
A smaller portion landed on the boulder blocking his path, splitting it open with a small crack.
Seeing this, the boy didn't hesitate. Using the smoke and dust from the explosions as cover, he quickly slipped through the crack in the wall while the Unown were still observing the situation.
On the other side of the boulder, the light gradually brightened. After squinting to adjust, the boy began to survey his surroundings.
The place before him wasn't much different from the rest of the ruins—still a corner of a dilapidated site, filled with the historical aura accumulated over countless years.
However, a smile appeared on the boy's face.
"After all this effort, and being constantly chased by Unown, I've finally made it in. I wonder which Pokémon I'll summon after exploring this millennia-old ruin."
The boy's name was Aoyagi, a transmigrator.
He had arrived in the Pokémon world a week ago, directly transported to a desolate wilderness where he might face ferocious Pokémon at any moment.
Fortunately, before his transmigration, Aoyagi was a "Void Wilderness Survival Expert" who frequently watched videos by Bear Grylls and Ed Sheeran. After a few days of trial and error, he was able to barely manage to be self-sufficient in the jungle.
But new problems arose.
During this week, he nearly encountered several aggressive and irritable Pokémon like Ursaring and Beautifly.
This made him realize that in the world of Pokémon, besides survival knowledge, Pokémon were indispensable for ensuring his safety and future survival.
But the problem he faced was also very real—he didn't have the money to buy Pokémon, he wasn't some super rookie capable of capturing Pokémon by force, and he didn't have the luck to stumble upon an injured Pokémon in need of help and eventually offer himself in gratitude.
Most importantly… he didn't even have Poké Balls.
Without Poké Balls, everything was just talk.
Fortunately, just when he was at his wit's end, a blue virtual panel slowly appeared.
With his extensive experience with online novels, Aoyagi quickly grasped the general information of the panel.
Simply put, it was a summoning panel that could randomly summon some items.
The first thing he could summon was his most needed help—Pokémon.
However, the panel required energy to activate, and the way to collect energy was to explore things with a long history, such as ancient ruins and other ancient structures.
The ruins beneath Aoyagi's feet were the only target he found after exploring the vicinity.
Thanks to his excellent physical abilities and reflexes, he had already explored most of the area over the past few days, reaching 96% completion, leaving only the area blocked by the boulder.
He had observed it firsthand; the weight and hardness of the boulder were beyond his ability to move or destroy without a Pokémon.
Therefore, he had to devise a plan to provoke the Unown that guarded the ruins, using their power to break the boulder.
Although the process was somewhat dangerous, and he risked being crushed by the enraged Unown at any moment, Aoyagi understood the principle of risking his life.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and he successfully entered the final area.
At the same time, on the panel visible only to Aoyagi, lines of small blue text were flashing.
[Random Ruins - Exploring]
[Exploration Progress: 96%...97%...98%...99%...100%]
[Exploration Complete, Summoning Available]
[Summoning Target - Random Pokémon, Summon Now?]
[Yes/No]
Aoyagi directly selected "Yes".
With the "Summoning" message appearing, the panel in front of him suddenly spun, then transformed into tiny specks of light, forming a circular passage about one person's height.
A blue light shone, and a figure about one meter tall peeked out from the passage.
This was a creature resembling a small dinosaur, its body mostly covered in yellow, with only the tips of its claws on its hands and feet being white.
It stood there, looking around with its large, blue-green eyes, scratching its head with its muscular arms, each as big as its feet, its expression filled with confusion.
As for why it was described as a creature rather than a Pokémon, it was because Aoyagi didn't know that the thing appearing before him might not be called a Pokémon, but rather... a Digimon?
Moreover, it was Agumon, the partner of Taichi Yagami, the protagonist of the first season of the anime, and jokingly referred to by fans as the evolved form of Koromon, the origin of all things.
Yes, what emerged from the portal formed by the summoning panel was an Agumon.
At this moment, Aoyagi was also confused.
Theoretically speaking, in the Pokémon world, there are several Pokémon that possess the ability to change their form. Faced with unknown situations, it is reasonable to transform into the appearance of another Pokémon.
But no matter how it transforms, it cannot cross world boundaries and become a Digimon.
"Or was I accidentally hypnotized, causing hallucinations?"
If that's the case, the Agumon's situation would all make sense.
Aoyagi took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, and silently opened the panel.
In addition to charging and summoning, the panel also had a basic function of checking Pokémon information. Just by checking the other party's information, he could find out what kind of creature this was.
Then, Aoyagi looked at "Agumon," and the panel also focused on the other party.
In an instant, a line of small blue text appeared before them.
