Chapter 1 - A World Where Pokémon and Humans Are at Odds

An endless expanse of pure white space.

Su Feng was a bit dazed as he sat up from the clean ground.

"Huh, where is this place?"

Just as he was looking around, wondering where he was, a voice that couldn't be distinguished as male or female came from behind.

"This is the Hall of Beginnings."

Following the voice, what came into view was a huge, strange creature.

"Holy crap, an alpaca!?"

Hearing Su Feng's exclamation, Arceus looked at him with slight displeasure, clearly aware of what an alpaca was.

Joking aside, how could the mighty Creator God be compared to an ordinary alpaca?

Su Feng cautiously looked at Arceus. His accidental slip of its nickname was purely instinctive.

After all, the supreme being of the Pokémon world suddenly appearing before him would shock anyone.

But if he pissed off Arceus and it decided to squash him like a bug, that wouldn't be fun.

Being the Creator God, the moment Arceus locked its gaze on him, Su Feng felt immense pressure.

However, remembering that it needed something from him, Arceus didn't push too hard. After a brief glance, it continued, "Human, I need your help."

Hearing this, Su Feng raised an eyebrow. He never expected the Creator God to ask for help from an ordinary human like him.

"But why me?"

As an average person, he couldn't think of anything about himself that would catch the attention of the Creator God.

The only thing worth mentioning was that he was a small-time streamer with a few thousand followers in the Pokémon community.

Hearing Su Feng's question, Arceus seemed puzzled.

"Didn't you say in yesterday's online quiz that you were willing to give up everything to go to the Pokémon world?"

"Wait, that was real!?"

"Yes, I personally sent out that online quiz, and only you saw it and answered seriously."

"..."

Recalling the quiz he stumbled upon while browsing videos, Su Feng felt a headache coming on.

But now, compared to the Creator God standing right in front of him, he found it more amusing that the Creator God could surf the internet.

It was oddly down-to-earth.

"Human culture and creations are quite fascinating. I occasionally go online to observe the development of humanity," Arceus explained, as if reading Su Feng's thoughts.

"Of course, if you want to go back, I can safely send you back, but I'll have to erase all memories of meeting me."

Arceus was more reasonable than Su Feng had expected. After a moment of thought, Su Feng slowly shook his head.

"No, I'm willing to go to the Pokémon world."

As an orphan, Su Feng reflected on his nearly twenty years of rough life. Aside from a few caring friends, there wasn't much worth holding onto.

Seeing Su Feng's resolve, Arceus nodded slightly.

While finding someone else who met the requirements wouldn't be too hard, it would still be a hassle. It was better to save the trouble.

"So, what do you need me to do?" Su Feng looked up at the three-meter-tall Creator God and asked.

"Nothing too troublesome."

With a thought from Arceus, a large screen appeared before them, divided into dozens of smaller screens, each showing scenes of humans and Pokémon.

However, these scenes weren't as harmonious as Su Feng had imagined the Pokémon world to be. Humans and Pokémon were hostile toward each other, tensions high.

A massive Onix rampaged through a city, unstoppable until a huge tank rolled in...

On a steep cliffside road, a Snorlax blocked the path, unmoved by the incessant honking of frustrated drivers...

In the woods, a young herb gatherer accidentally disturbed a Beedrill and was chased for hundreds of meters, only escaping by hiding underwater...

Similar scenes were everywhere, some even escalating to life-and-death situations. Su Feng couldn't help but frown.

"Why is this happening?"

Su Feng turned to Arceus, as this was far from the Pokémon world he had imagined.

Hearing this, Arceus also seemed somewhat helpless.

"A month ago, I discovered this world without Pokémon and tried to introduce Pokémon into it."

"But I didn't expect the humans here to be so hostile, even hateful, toward Pokémon."

"Though it's not entirely their fault. I was too hasty and didn't consider enough."

"Ultimately, it's because the humans in this world know too little about Pokémon."

"But now that things have come to this, I can't just let humans and Pokémon kill each other. So, I thought of finding someone who understands Pokémon to solve this problem."

Su Feng said expressionlessly, "So, I was brought to this world to educate people about Pokémon."

"Pretty much," Arceus nodded calmly.

"Then why don't you just send all the Pokémon back to their original world?"

"It's not that simple," Arceus shook its head.

"If you pour half a bowl of water into another half bowl, can you precisely take out the half bowl you poured in, ensuring it's exactly the same water?"

After some thought, Su Feng shook his head. "No, that's impossible."

"I can do it," Arceus said matter-of-factly.

Su Feng: "..."

"But it's troublesome. To send each Pokémon back precisely would take too much time and effort."

Su Feng laughed in frustration. "You're dumping a mess even the Creator God can't handle onto an ordinary person like me?"

"To clarify, it's not that I can't handle it, I just don't want to bother."

Su Feng's face darkened. "And you're proud of that?"

"Kind of."

Su Feng: "..."

He couldn't help but feel like this Creator God was a bit cheeky.

"Fine, I won't argue. But if you want the horse to run, you can't starve it, right?"

Understanding that Su Feng was asking for benefits, Arceus wasn't annoyed.

"Of course, I've prepared everything."

With a thought from Arceus, a small ball of light entered Su Feng's mind.

[Ding! Pokémon Live Education System activated!]

"..."

"And then?"

"Then you figure it out yourself."

"..."

"If I weren't sure I couldn't beat you, I'd have already thrown hands."
