Ch1-The Dream
"Ah that hurts!!!!!!! my head hurts, that was so rough.....damn it God, at least give me a soft landing".
Now, where do I start.....let's rewind a bit to know how I got here.
My name is Eric Williams. I was a 23-year-old jobless graduate who always dreamt of getting a second chance in life and redo everything.
Looks-wise I am pretty ordinary but was above average in academics, I graduated a year back and was planning for masters but damn a type of virus hit the world hard and now I have to waste at least a year again due to obvious reasons of safety and parents persistence.
I am a big Pokemon fan since childhood, played all the games and also one of those rare fans who is up to date with the anime.
I use to pray every day that I reincarnate in the pokemon world or at least get a second chance in life.
Obviously I knew that it won't work but dumb enough I was persistent to wish that daily before sleep.
On a random cloudy night --- I was sitting on my rooftop and thinking about when this crisis ends, so that I can at least find a job for some work experience in CV after completing masters.
Unexpectedly I see a shooting star and make my dumb wish again but who knew God had other plans....out of no where a lightning hits me and I didn't have time to process my death. It was a one hit-ko.
I wake up after who knows how long, I open my eyes and felt blurry for a second. I look around me and suddenly realize that I was floating. I was in some kind of white shiny room, literally in every direction I can see this unending white. May be .....I was in heaven or some afterlife thingy. Out of nowhere, a figure pops in front which literally gave me a heart attack (though I don't think I have one right now).
He looked old but I feel a sage aura, I feel endless wisdom oozing out of him. With all that fanfics and second chance novels I read before, I knew who he was... So I ask him, "Are you the creator or some kind of God?".
He looks at me and goes "yes, you are lucky to be dead at that particular moment because you are now 100 trillionth soul to die on earth."
Wait a minute!!!!!! 100 trillion?? that clearly means earth history of humans goes way back, that even the historians did not know. Anyway that doesn't matter now, 'what matters is, how am I lucky?'.
As if he read my mind he answers "Out of all the planets in my creation this is the first time a planet survived till a 100 trillionth human soul died, though the planet is near extinction this is worth celebrating."
'what the fuck?? near extinction??'...don't tell me that new virus was the end?
"Yes, that was the end, many wars happened just after and it was self-destruction, but still I am happy and I will grant you 3 wishes, now ask away"
oh shit...I feel so good right now and a bit guilty for not feeling sad for the world's end. Now, what do I wish for the other 2, as the first wish is reincarnating in the pokemon world. I think for some time and answer him "First I want to be reincarnated into the pokemon world, Second I want to keep my memories of my life on earth and finally a Riolu as my starter."
The God shows an amused expression and says "Interesting and intelligent second wish you got there, For your first wish though, I will transport you there caz I am sure you don't want to start as a baby and finally, for your last wish, I am surprised that you did not ask for a system or some strong legendary, may I know why?"
"Sure, I want my adventures to be at the same start line as any other pokemon trainers in that world, I already feel like Riolu and my past memories are a big head start".
I show an embarrassed face and continue
"is it ok if I have some specifications regarding my Riolu?"
God looks at my expression and says "go on and also give me your age and features too"
I feel relieved at that and say "I want a jolly natured Riolu with hidden ability prankster, as for my features hmmmmm...black hair, blue eyes, age.... maybe 14 would do and finally height: Set 6 feet as my maximum growth rate"
I know I would have asked for more powerful wishes but if I have some overpowered abilities it won't be any fun, I already feel that with my knowledge on pokemon it will become a too overpowered MC kind of story. I am literally a walking Pokédex till gen 8 Galar region.
"oh I forgot, please send me to Kanto region first, anywhere near pallet town would be much appreciated and thanks for everything."
God looks at me one final time and says
"Ok young lad, I hope you have a good journey and fulfilled life. Take care, of you, go."
Suddenly I feel nauseated and like something pulling me in, shit!!!!!!!! I forgot to mention the timeline and I don't even know if it's anime or game version or even manga one, before I try to say something to the god I vanished from there.
----------------------------------------
Now back to the present
That was a pretty bad landing, anyways first I need to meet professor oak and get familiar with how everything works here and also to find if my past knowledge and this world's knowledge match. Finally, the dream to become champion of champions is going to come true. Pokemon world here I come.
Oh wait!!!! where even am I, I look around and see a small pond. I go there to see my features first, I can feel that I am pretty tall for my age and thank god I look damn good, little skinny but not too thin, pale face, spiky black hair similar to kuroo from haikyuu, black zipped jacket with blue t-shirt inside and white shorts.
That's a perfect looking 14-year-old right there, now that I am standing I feel something inside my pocket...let's see maybe Riolu's Pokeball
