Sitting in a unfamiliar place, Ahirman looks around and finds the room to be far different to his bedroom. The bed he is laying on felt softer than Angel feathers, the quilt felt as if he was being embraced in a loving mother's arms. Pulling himself out of bed he found his body felt quite different, there was no dull aches or sharps pains in his movement. Looking around Ahriman found a mirror in an adjacent room, scrambling to the mirror and checking himself. The image in the mirror staring back startled him, no longer were there wispy white/grey hair and beard. Ahriman found himself staring at someone that looked about in the early 20s with short brown hair, green eyes, no beard and a sharp beard. Examining the rest of his body he found he was slim, toned and slightly tanned.
Ahriman: "Is this me?"
Unable to process what is going on, Ahriman hears a sound coming from the bedroom.
???: "Ah, it seems you have awoken. It seems an explanation is in order. Why don't you sit back on the bed and will explain."
Looking over this figure in the bedroom, Ahriman couldn't see his face due to a hood but got a feeling that he meant no harm and made his way to the bed. When he sat down the hooded figured spoke again.
???: "Now, to begin with, as you have noticed you have a new body. Your old life came to an end when you died in your sleep. You have been chosen out of many to be reincarnated into another world. We are giving you 2 wishes to help you along in your new world. Any questions so far?"
Ahirman: "Am i dreaming this?"
??? chuckles and responds "Oh no lad, this is real. You have indeed died in your sleep."
Ahirman: "My family, will they be alright?"
???: "They will be fine, they will be said due to your passing and will remember you and carry on. Your savings and worldly goods will leave them with a happy comfortable life."
Ahirman: "Thats good." after taking a few more breaths to calm himself down. "So, about theses wishes. Are there any restrictions on what can be wished for like wishing for divinity or wishing for omniscience?"
???: "There are no restriction on wishes, however you won't wake up and have full access to your wishes. They will develop with you as you age, it would be irresponsible to give someone that kind of power from the get go. So do you have any ideas on what you will wish for?"
Ahriman: "Before i make any wishes, what world am i being reborn in?"
???: "Oh yes, that would help you decide. The world you will find yourself in is the world of Pokémon."
Ahriman sat there thinking, trying to remember any information he could recall on this 'Pokémon world'. After a few minutes he remember one of his grandkids mentioning something about Pokémon and how they were everywhere and caught to help in industry and trained to fight in battles. "Alright then for my first wish, i would like to be the best Psychic. I've always long to be a proper ESP in my old life."
???: "That is wish is fine, and for your last wish?"
Ahirman thought for a few more minutes before replying "For my last wish, i would like knowledge on the Pokémon world. Everything from Pokémon to cooking the best food for development for them. If possible i would also like that knowledge to contain the known history of the Pokémon world so that i'm not going in blind."
???: "hmmmmmm, that will be fine. i will develop a personal assistance to help with the knowledge. Now, you will be transport to the world of Pokémon as an infant. You have been given a preview of your adult looks, is there anything you wish to change?"
Ahirman: "Could i get my hair changed to black and for my eyes, can one be blue and one green?"
???: "That can be done. Now i wish you good luck and enjoy your new life."
With that Ahriman found he was losing consciousness and faded to black. The next thing Ahirman heard and saw was a bright light and the sound of a monitors. Looking around he found his vision was blurred and could make out 4 figures. it dawned on Ahriman that he was just birthed and thus started his journey in the Pokémon world.
