Reborn in Pokémon: My Childhood Friend is Dawn

Not an overpowered protagonist + Single female lead (Dawn) + Slight buffs for Ash and Paul + No system

Hanyu Yun is reborn in the Sinnoh region of the Pokémon world, and this is the story of how he and his Pokémon rise to the top.

A proud yet warm-hearted Sceptile...

A fierce-looking Ursaring with a sneaky side...

An Aerodactyl with a sharp tongue that spits trash talk...

A mischievous Mismagius with the ability to transform into a legendary Pokémon...

A stoic, shiny Metagross...

And our adorable little Riolu...

Paul: "I acknowledge your strength, but why do you keep hanging around that childish Ash?"

Ash: "Xiaoyun, your Pokémon are amazing! I can’t wait to battle you!"

Dawn: "Xiaoyun is so gentle... I wish I could always be by his side~ ^ω^"

(Yeah... this synopsis is kinda weak, but the story itself is more of a slow burn. It follows the anime storyline with a relaxed pace. There’s no strict level system, and there will be a fair amount of battle scenes.

If you care a lot about strict leveling rules, be warned!)
