Su Han was a transmigrator—and this wasn’t even his first time.
The first time, he’d ended up in the Digital World. After clearing it, he’d somehow found himself in a world where Pokémon had returned.
And he’d awakened a Digimon Template System.
Simply put, he had to find Pokémon whose affinity matched certain Digimon, raise them, and evolve/digivolve them into Digimon.
To make matters worse, his mom’s Fairy-type Gym was on the brink of bankruptcy.
Su Han decided to take over directly. Who said a man couldn’t run a Fairy-type Gym?
Espurr—Meowstic—Gatomon—Angewomon—Venusmon!
Petilil—Palmon—Lilligant—Lilymon—Rosemon!
“Su Han, not bad! I’ve been waiting for grandkids and you finally got yourself a girlfriend!”
“Your girlfriend looks nice—she’s tall and slender! But… why is she wearing a blindfold?”
“?????” Su Han.
——————————————————————————————————————
“Class, it will be three years of cramming for the College Entrance Exam, and five years of practice tests! You should’ve started preparing from the moment you enrolled.”
“…”
“Su Han, why are you spacing out? Aren’t you listening?”
A voice rang out, causing the surrounding students to glance over at the teacher’s target.
A boy with delicate features, sixteen or seventeen at most, rested his cheek on his hand, gazing helplessly out the window.
He looked lazy, without a shred of motivation.
Ah… it’s already been a week since I transmigrated into this world.
I’ve tried everything, and I still can’t get back.
Hikari… I miss you.
Indeed, Su Han wasn’t originally from this world. The first time he’d transmigrated had been to another parallel world.
By a twist of fate, he’d become Hikari’s guardian.
And the Digimon he’d used was the unbelievably powerful Alphamon!
And “guardian” was just a title. He’d clearly felt it—Hikari had already begun to fall for him. They both had feelings for each other and were preparing to confess publicly.
Who would’ve thought the world would collapse at that exact moment?
And he’d end up transmigrating into this real world, where humans and Pokémon coexisted in harmony.
So yeah—he’d been in a foul mood ever since.
“Su Han, the teacher’s calling you.”
The class monitor, Xia Muyu, whispered a reminder.
“Hm?”
Only then did Su Han realize he’d become the center of attention.
“School’s barely started, and you already think you don’t have to study?”
“As far as I know, Su Han, your mother runs a Fairy-type Gym. Calling it a Gym is generous—it’s practically bankrupt, isn’t it? And yet, you can’t be bothered to pay attention. You’re nothing but a useless bum!”
The teacher, an older woman wearing reading glasses, her voice sharp and dripping with disdain.
A textbook example of a harsh homeroom teacher.
“Teacher, school’s only been in session a couple of days, and you’re already calling me a useless bum? And watch your wording—don’t drag my family into this.”
Su Han’s eyes abruptly narrowed as he spoke in a calm, flat tone.
He’d seen too much. His previous self would’ve slapped her by now.
But that didn’t mean he’d let others trample over him. “Maturity” wasn’t about never throwing punches—it meant not moving at all or, when you did move, ensuring the other person swallowed it completely, with absolute certainty of success. Anything else was a manchild’s pointless flailing, good only for humiliating yourself.
“Oh?”
“Oh, you’re not convinced? Then answer me this: most Pokémon are dual-type. Name one whose own typing counters itself.”
“For this question, you only need to name one!”
The female teacher confidently adjusted her glasses; the lenses flashed with a gleam.
Clearly, it was a trap.
The class immediately blanked. Dual-types whose own typing counters itself? Was that a thing?
Most of them were new Trainers—naturally, they didn’t know.
Even Xia Muyu, the class monitor and top student, could barely name one. This was clearly from a subject covered as seniors: the rare category of Pokémon whose own typing counters itself.
Such Pokémon were usually exceptionally strong to handle the inherent weaknesses.
Thus, people who’d seen them were incredibly rare.
It was hopeless. Ms. Zhu had clearly decided to make Su Han suffer.
Even I can barely name one…
Xia Muyu couldn’t help but worry. On the first day, Su Han had helped her, and she genuinely wanted to help him too.
She was just about to write a name down in her notebook—
But Su Han had already answered.
“That’s it? Teacher, are you sure? Aren’t there quite a few?”
Su Han’s mouth twitched. What kind of question was this?
Sure, Pokémon whose own typing counters itself weren’t common compared to the full roster, but he could easily list ten examples if he wanted to.
But what do you mean he just needs one, and he’s considered “not useless”? What kind of logic is this?
Ms. Zhu froze. The entire class furrowed their brows.
Quite a few…?
Then why didn’t they know any?
Ms. Zhu snapped out of it and laughed coldly. Clearly, he was just bluffing.
“Fine! Name them, then, if there are so many.”
Su Han thought briefly, choosing a few names off the top of his head.
“One of the guardian deities—Solgaleo! Psychic and Steel-type!”
The confusion in the room deepened.
“What Pokémon is that?”
“Have you ever heard of it?”
“No… is he serious? What’s that?”
Students whispered among themselves.
Ms. Zhu couldn’t hold back her laughter. Chuckling lightly, she mocked, “I knew it—you’re just making things up!”
“Guardian deity? If I hadn’t read the Pokémon encyclopedia from start to end, you might’ve fooled me!”
Xia Muyu covered her forehead helplessly.
Su Han… if you didn’t know, why speak so confidently?
You almost had me convinced you could name several!
“It doesn’t exist?” Su Han blinked. Well, It is a Legendary.
“Then what about Volcanion? That one should exist, right? Water and Fire-type,” Su Han said.
“Now that’s even more absurd. How could Water and Fire coexist?”
“You don’t even know basic common sense? Ha—no wonder your Gym can’t survive.”
Ms. Zhu laughed until she was practically breathless.
Looks like those Legendary Pokémon aren’t known here yet.
Su Han decided to go with simpler examples.
“Stunfisk, Ground/Electric!”
“Gliscor, Ground/Flying!”
“Mega Altaria, Dragon/Fairy!”
“Marshadow, Fighting/Ghost!”
“Malamar, Dark/Psychic!”
Just as everyone thought Su Han was still spouting nonsense—
The next moment, he began confidently listing one set after another.
And Ms. Zhu’s expression confirmed everything.
Her smile froze, turning gradually into shock, her pupils shrinking.
This was senior-year AP material!
“Is that enough? If not, I can give you a few more for free?”
“…”
“Hey, say something, Teacher. You’re staring at me with that clueless expression, and it’s kind of unsettling.”
Su Han blinked innocently as he asked.
That last line cut straight to the bone!
