Ambushing Cosmog from the Start - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Battle of Three Gods

The Kunlun Mountains were blanketed in white snow. Amid the raging blizzard, a young man clad in thick mountaineering gear trudged forward with difficulty.

“Huff… huff…”

“I hope my deduction isn’t wrong… Otherwise, coming here in this weather would be downright idiotic…”

Chen Nian exhaled heavily, his breath forming clouds in the freezing air. He glanced upward, the summit of the main peak was now less than a few hundred meters away.

Just as he steeled himself to push forward, a sudden anomaly occurred.

Streaks of scorching sunlight pierced through the gloomy clouds, illuminating the land in an instant. The blizzard vanished without a trace.

But before the brilliance could linger, the sky abruptly darkened into night.

To an ordinary person, this abrupt shift between day and night would be terrifying. Yet, Chen Nian’s heart surged with excitement.

“Night and day alternating rapidly!”

“This means my guess has a high chance of being right!”

Before he could finish the thought, another shocking transformation unfolded.

From a rift in the space behind the mountain peak, a strange creature made of black crystal darted through the air. In the next moment, a white, lion-like beast and a black, bat-like creature tore through the clouds, lunging at the black crystal entity.

The three bizarre beings clashed mid-air. Even though the black crystalline creature fought two against one, Chen Nian could tell it held the upper hand.

……

Perhaps no one in this world recognized these creatures.

But Chen Nian, a transmigrator from another world, identified them immediately.

“Necrozma!”

“Lunala!”

“Solgaleo!”

These were three legendary Pokémon—beings revered as gods in the Pokémon world, now appearing vividly before his eyes.

Suppressing his exhilaration, Chen Nian remained hidden, biding his time.

Because soon, he would attempt an unprecedented, audacious act—

Capturing a Legendary Pokémon!

……

Fifteen years ago, Chen Nian had crossed over from Earth to this parallel world, only to discover it was a world where Pokémon existed.

However, since Pokémon had only appeared in this world for less than two centuries, human research on them remained shallow.

Then, just a few days ago, his system awakened.

From it, he obtained a Master Ball—an item capable of capturing any Pokémon without fail.

This single Master Ball planted a thought in his mind, one so bold that no one else would dare consider:

Hunting a Legendary Pokémon.

But in a world where even common Pokémon were poorly understood, tracking down elusive Legendaries was near impossible.

Then, three days ago, a news report caught his attention.

The Kunlun Mountains had been experiencing bizarre phenomena—rapid shifts between day and night over several days.

The moment Chen Nian saw this, a realization struck him.

“The only Pokémon capable of distorting day and night are Lunala and Solgaleo!”

In other words, the anomalies in Kunlun were likely caused by these two Legendaries.

……

As the saying goes: “Fortune favors the bold.”

Chen Nian had always considered himself an adventurous man.

So, chasing this slim lead, he booked a flight and endured countless hardships to reach the Kunlun Mountains.

Braving the blizzard, trekking for so long—

And now, it was all worth it.

Three Legendary Pokémon stood before him.

……

Using the “Eye of Detection” granted by his system, Chen Nian analyzed their stats:

Necrozma

Level: 115

Gender: None

Potential: Ultra Beast

Type: Psychic

Ability: Prism Armor

Moves: …

Lunala

Level: 109

Gender: ♀

Potential: Tier-1 Legendary (Champion)

Type: Ghost/Psychic

Ability: Shadow Shield

Moves: …

Solgaleo

Level: 109

Gender: ♂

Potential: Tier-1 Legendary (Champion)

Type: Psychic/Steel

Ability: Full Metal Body

Moves: …

The data confirmed Necrozma’s overwhelming strength. In the battle, it was clearly dominating the other two.

Chen Nian knew from the anime that Necrozma could absorb light and Z-Power.

Compared to it, Lunala and Solgaleo were mere underlings.

……

As the battle raged on, Necrozma grew even stronger, relentlessly draining the energy of the other two.

Before long, Lunala and Solgaleo would inevitably lose.

“This Necrozma is ridiculously powerful. If it absorbs both of them, only Arceus would stand a chance against it.”

……

Chen Nian held his breath.

Even though the Legendaries were locked in combat, recklessly intervening could get him obliterated in seconds.

He had to wait for the perfect moment.

Just one capture—and his rise to power would begin!

……

With a devastating strike, Necrozma seized Lunala, voraciously draining its energy.

Solgaleo seized the opportunity, slashing at Necrozma with its claws, forcing it to release Lunala.

Badly wounded, Lunala plummeted from the sky.

Watching its descent—

Chen Nian’s pupils contracted.

“This is my chance!”
