That Pokémon, nearly 4 meters tall, was surrounded by surging Water Attribute energy, with white Steam Eruption seeming to evaporate around its body, creating ripples in the space.
Zhang Heng was stunned: “Isn’t this… Suicune’s Paradox Pokémon – Walking Wake?! I thought Paradox Pokémon belonged to a special category and couldn’t be drawn, so I was ready to choose one from Kingdra, Dracovish, or Milotic.”
Ding~
System: “Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Paradox Pokémon – Walking Wake, a Water and Dragon dual-attribute Pokémon.”
Walking Wake keenly heard Zhang Heng’s surprised voice, lowered its head, and scrutinized Zhang Heng with its violent red pupils, seemingly holding a deep dislike for this human!
A hint of disdain flashed in Walking Wake’s red pupils.
Immediately, the Water-type energy in the space surged, and a steaming deep blue orb condensed in Walking Wake’s mouth, followed by a water pillar as thick as a wagon wheel, which struck towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng was still a bit shocked, but as the heir to a medical family, his usual physical training and emergency response were quite good.
He instinctively rolled to the side. Walking Wake’s Water-type skill had no intention of letting him off; the energy water pillar continued to sweep in the direction Zhang Heng retreated.
Ding~ A mechanical sound rang out at the opportune moment.
System: “Detecting hostility from this reward towards the host, activating after-sales service, special energy shield initiated.”
Boom~
That terrifying energy water pillar struck the system’s shield, but it did not budge the shield; all the surging energy was absorbed.
Walking Wake snorted lightly, staring intently at Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng slowly stood up and met Walking Wake’s gaze. One person and one Pokémon stared at each other like that, and Zhang Heng activated the Water Affinity effect he had obtained from the system.
Zhang Heng’s vision became increasingly blurry, a flash of white light passed, and Zhang Heng’s consciousness had exited the space built by the system, returning to reality.
Then the system communicated with Zhang Heng in his mind again.
“Ding~ Newbie gift package has been distributed. Also, a z-ring, a Key Stone, and 1000 Dive Balls. They are temporarily stored in the system mall and can be used at any time.”
Zhang Heng woke up from his daze, feeling something clutched in his right hand. He looked down to see a blue Poké Ball quietly held in his hand.
For seasoned gamers, this Poké Ball was not unfamiliar; it was a Dive Ball. In his original world, Zhang Heng also loved to purchase these Pokémon merchandise figures.
Looking at the genuine Poké Ball in his hand, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, as this was his first Pokémon in life.
Just as one always encounters various people in life and may have had many partners, what a man remembers most is naturally his first one, his first love, right, everyone?
And Walking Wake was Zhang Heng’s first Pokémon, his first partner in this world. Naturally, it was of paramount importance, even though no bond had been established yet.
Zhang Heng murmured to himself: “Indeed, this world is closer to the world in the anime than the game, more vibrant, and every Pokémon has its own consciousness and thoughts.”
His relationship with Walking Wake now was like Ash’s with Charizard back then; he had not yet gained the Pokémon’s approval. In the game, a Pokémon not listening meant the trainer’s level was not high enough.
In the real world, there are many reasons for such disobedience. The main reason is that the trainer’s ability has not gained the Pokémon’s trust. A novice certainly can’t control a Gym level Pokémon, can they?
Zhang Heng: “There’s no other way. I can only spend more time with him and slowly change Walking Wake’s mind.”
Ding~
System: “Loading Pokémon basic information panel viewing function for the host… Loading complete.”
Zhang Heng looked at Walking Wake’s Poké Ball, and its basic information panel began to appear on it.
Pokémon Name: Walking Wake

Terastallization Attribute: Fire
Nature: Hasty (Increased Speed, Decreased Defense)
Note: Nature can be changed, but nature bonuses will not change.
Ability: Protosynthesis
Friendship: 20 (Max 255, can be increased through battles, items, leveling up, playing, communication, etc.)

After reading the attribute panel, Zhang Heng said: “Fire Terastallization? Why isn’t it its inherent Dragon or Water? No, the nature bonus won’t change? What does that mean? That 20 Friendship must be due to the affinity effect.”
“System, what does ‘the nature bonus won’t change’ mean?”
Ding~ A mechanical sound rang out.
“Answering the host, nature is not fixed; it can change, and the bonus effects of different natures are different. A Pokémon’s bonus effect is only related to its initial nature. For example, Walking Wake has a Hasty nature, which increases Speed and decreases physical defense. Even if its nature changes, the bonus will still be the original Hasty effect.”
“I see.”
Zhang Heng then looked at the move pool and felt it was quite good: Sunny Day paired with Steam Eruption, Flamethrower, and Weather Ball. Although Walking Wake is a Water Attribute Pokémon, it has the Sunny Day move not just because of its ability - Protosynthesis; it is a rare special attacker for both Sunny Day and Rainy Day.
The reason is its exclusive move, Steam Eruption. The move Walking Wake used to attack Zhang Heng earlier was precisely its exclusive move, Steam Eruption, a Water-type move with 80 power and 100 accuracy. Under Sunny Day, its damage is not weakened and is increased to 1.5 times.
A shout came from downstairs: “Hey, Heng Heng, what are you hiding upstairs for, startling me? Yi Shu is here to find you. Isn’t today the day to go to the Pokémon Lab and interact with Pokémon? Hurry down.”
The person speaking was the original owner’s mother, Fu Yinghui. And Ou Yishu was the original owner’s good friend, a childhood sweetheart, a girl who loved Ice-type Pokémon very much.
Zhang Heng looked around, grabbed the backpack that was already prepared on the table, and hurried downstairs.
Zhang Heng walked down to the second floor: “Mom, why did you only remind me now? I almost forgot.”
“You little brat, you’re rebelling! I called you several times, but you stayed in your room and wouldn’t come out.”
She immediately gave him a knuckle rap, which made Zhang Heng’s eyes seem to see many running Yamper.
Fu Yinghui was a dignified and elegant middle-aged woman. Although the traces of time had left their mark on her face, one could still see her exceptional beauty when she was young.
Zhang Heng rubbed the bump on his head and heard a light laugh from the living room. It was Ou Yishu, who had come to accompany Zhang Heng, covering her mouth and chuckling.
Zhang Heng hadn’t fully recovered from his mother’s knuckle rap. Hearing Ou Yishu’s laughter, he shook his head and greeted her with a smile.
It must be said that a young girl in her prime always has a vibrant, youthful innocence. Ou Yishu’s fingers were slender like tender shoots, her skin fair like congealed fat, and she had shallow dimples when she smiled slightly.
Ou Yishu was still a bit reserved, feeling that her behavior of mocking Zhang Heng just now was not good, so she asked charmingly: “Can we leave now?”
Zhang Heng responded indifferently: “Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go now.”
His mother admonished: “Remember to say hello to Dr. Chen, and also hand over the Pokémon medicine prepared in the trunk to the Research Institute. There are also some emergency treatment equipment prepared; you can use them if necessary.”
Zhang Heng nodded in response: “Okay, I understand. Do I need to treat some Pokémon this time?”
His mother nodded slightly and said: “If the Research Institute needs help, just assist within your capabilities.”
Zhang Heng: “Okay, Mom, we’re leaving now.”
Saying that, he quickly got into the car prepared at the door, and waved his hand, urging Ou Yishu to get in quickly.
Zhang Heng was still very excited, after all, he could get close to Pokémon.
