An origin story for Pokemon Go. Winston Alexander Willow, a world traveler, decides to put his nomadic ways behind him to become a Pokemon Professor.
He hires three young eager assistants to help him. The intuitive Spark, the strong Candela, and the intelligent Blanche. Each unique in their own right, but the assistants cause more issues for Professor Willow than the Pokemon do. Between Applesauce smiles, hurling trucks with a trebuchet, and dyslexic research notes. Hope finally emerges when they hatch and evolve their first Pokemon.
Now they just have to set aside their differences, and work with the fledgling professor to better Pokemon kind with their research, a task easier said than done. But the professor has faith in his assistants, and larger than life plans as he takes on the world, hoping to turn a simple app and a dream into reality.
The plan is simple: they need Pokemon, in order to get Pokemon they need to enlist trainers, in order to get trainers they have to get Willows work into the world, in order to do that he needs to write it down, and in order to write it down he needs peace and quiet. But between Pokemon running amok in his lab, constant power outages, inconstant wifi, and three assistants with a talent for making a mess. Professor Willow's dead line inches steadily closer while he puts out fires, sometimes literally.
Join Willow and his nerds in an adventure full of hijinks that answers questions like: Who is Professor Willow? Who are the Assistants? What do they do? Where does the candy come from? Where do all the pidgeys go? And WHY do the servers keep shutting DOWN?!

This book is part of a series. If you have not read the other books, then you won't understand what's going on here at ALL. Please go read 'Not Everyone is a Steal-Type' then 'Take an Extra Step, GOH the Extra Mile (The Prologue)' Before continuing. Both can be found on this account. (There's also a reading list dedicated to this series.)

Ash failed to save the world alongside Goh and even lost his existence in the process... OR SO HE THOUGHT! Thanks to knowledge from a girl who calls herself Yuki Kazeko, he can prepare for the final encounter with the Evil Professor Ceries in the future. (Alongside her, of course! They're both fighting for their own respective worlds.)
You would think this would be an easy task for one who came from the world that CREATED Pokemon and loves them with all her heart, right? Sorry to say, but a change in reality isn't as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Yuki is afraid of what Pokémon are capable of. From being able to cause fires just by breathing or cause someone to become poisoned just by being touched... that isn't something she's used to. That, alongside her own difficult life challenges she faced just adds on to her fears.
With one of the most important pieces to saving the world not being anywhere close to emotionally functioning in the amazing world of Pokémon, a Personal Trial and a Special Grand Trial has been created to help her overcome those fears once and for all!
Alongside the world's Chosen One: Ash Ketchum, and the many People and Pokémon who remember the events before the world was cut from the main timeline, Yuki takes on the challenge! It's time to take a step forward into a world filled with many similarities and differences: The World of Pokémon!
