Name: Luo Ge

Traits: Intimidate, Poison Hand

Skills: Quick Attack, Screech

Pokémon: Nidoran

Items: Poké Ball, Jin Zhu, Pokémon Backpack, Berry...

After reading his own information, Luo Ge felt a surge of satisfaction.

The feeling of seeing his abilities and items grow steadily was truly comforting.

In the month since arriving in this world, he had gone from having nothing at all to now possessing the power to defend himself.

His current Nidoran was the first one he had ever captured.

Probably due to some kind of cheat ability, his Nen was far more unreasonable.

Normally, the more complex and potent a Nen ability, the more restrictions it carried.

But his 【My Pokémon World】 had almost no restrictions—it was like loading an entire game version of the Pokémon world.

Precisely because of this, Luo Ge firmly believed that as long as he steadily progressed step by step, he would one day reach the pinnacle of this world!

Gathering his thoughts, Luo Ge examined the items he had just obtained.

The 【Poké Ball】 was, of course, the simplest red-and-white ball, with average capture effectiveness.

But in the Hunter World, the 【Poké Ball】 was no longer limited to capturing Pokémon alone.

Other non-human creatures could also be captured using the 【Poké Ball】.

The Hunter World was home to no shortage of peculiar creatures, each with wildly diverse special abilities.

Thus, the 【Poké Ball】 had ample room for creative use.

The second item was the 【Jin Zhu】; in the game, it had no practical use and was mainly sold for money.

But compared to the 【Pearl】 he had previously carried, it was more valuable.

In the game, the 【Jin Zhu】 could be sold for ten thousand, while the 【Pearl】 fetched only two thousand.

Skipping past the first two items, Luo Ge fixed his gaze on the final one—the 【Poison Needle】.

【Poison Needle】: Increases the power of Poison-type moves by 20% for the Pokémon carrying this item.

Clearly, the best destination for this 【Poison Needle】 was Nidoran.

Not only was it his only Pokémon so far, but it was also, conveniently, a Poison-type Pokémon.

Though its current strength was low and it had learned few moves, it did possess one Poison-type move.

That move was the newly acquired 【Poison Needle】, sharing the same name as this item.

As to why he had obtained the 【Poison Needle】 in this shop, Luo Ge had a vague suspicion.

But for now, he would first tally up his other gains.

After patting Nidoran's head, Luo Ge stood up and prepared to take his rightful spoils.

The shopkeeper's waist gun?

Take it.

The money and treasures in the cabinet?

Take them.

His backpack had limited capacity, so he could only carry a few high-value items.

Taking these items caused Luo Ge no guilt—he knew the shopkeeper had just tried to murder him for his belongings.

After scanning the room and confirming he had taken everything worthwhile, Luo Ge recalled Nidoran and walked out alone.

He was going home now.

On the street outside, Luo Ge saw only a few people idly wandering about.

Most had shifty eyes, glancing occasionally at surrounding houses, as if waiting for the right moment to break in and steal.

A few glanced at Luo Ge's calm expression but paid him no mind—they assumed this boy had no money to speak of.

In their eyes, the most valuable thing on him was his outfit,

or perhaps his youthful yet undeniably handsome face, which some might find appealing.

Everything else was worthless.

Luo Ge was already accustomed to this; he knew exactly what kind of people lived here.

This place was a vast garbage dump.

Filled with trash—and people just like trash.

The buildings on both sides were uniformly dilapidated; an uninformed observer might mistake this for a slum.

In truth, it was little different from a slum.

This was Meteor Street—the infamous, well-known place in the Hunter World!

Also the first place many Hunter fanfiction protagonists arrived.

Meteor Street sounded impressive, but in reality, it was nothing but a massive landfill.

Fifteen hundred years ago, Meteor Street was already a dumping ground for waste.

Garbage from all over the world was discarded here—including, but not limited to, scrap, weapons, corpses, infants...

Yes, infants too.

Thus, many orphans were born on this land.
