When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cozy little room, sunlight streaming through the curtains. The furniture was small, the walls decorated with childish posters, and outside the window… he saw a group of pidgey flying around which make him rub his eyes as he thinking that he dreaming.
Last thing he remembered was he heard a truck horn and next he found himself in this little room.
Just as he was getting used to his new reality, a sharp pain throbbed in his head. Images and memories—not his own—flashed before his eyes. When it stopped, he understood: this new body wasn't a blank slate.
He was an orphan. His parents, both Pokémon Rangers, had lost their lives bravely while bringing down a dangerous group of Pokémon Hunters. Their sacrifice was honored by the Pokémon Alliance, which granted their child a steady monthly allowance, enough to live comfortably. His parents had also left behind their savings, ensuring he wouldn't struggle to survive.
Now, he was 15 years old. Old enough to live independently, but not yet qualified to become a registered Pokémon Trainer. In this world, anyone of any age could own Pokémon, but to officially participate in Gym battles, contests, or tournaments, one had to be 16.
That meant he had one year left—one year to prepare, train, and plan his dream journey. And living right next door was none other than Ash Ketchum who also a friend of him.
As he sat on the edge of his bed, processing the weight of his memories and the life ahead of him, a sharp ding echoed in his ears.
He blinked.
Floating in front of him, shimmering with faint blue light, was a translucent panel—something straight out of a game interface.

Before he could even reach out, more lines of text appeared.

A progress bar loaded slowly.
[Initializing… 100%]
The boy's heart raced. Not only was he in the Pokémon world—he also had a cheat that could change everything while he was excitedly thinking about future .
The panel flickered again.
[Ding! The Host has received a Gift Pack.]
Would you like to open it now?
Alex's eyes gleamed. A gift pack? No way I'm saying no to that.
"Open it!" he said aloud, his voice brimming with excitement.
A golden light burst out of the panel, spilling into his room before fading into three distinct items that floated in the air before him.
Mysterious Egg – Warm to the touch, pulsing with a strange rhythm, as if something alive was waiting inside. Even the system failed to identify what Pokémon species it belonged to.
High Human Bloodline (Dormant) – A vial of shimmering crimson liquid. The system whispered that this essence could awaken hidden potential within him, granting him abilities far beyond ordinary humans.
Identifying Eyes – A gift that would permanently alter his vision, allowing him to see through a Pokémon's hidden stats, potential, abilities, and even concealed evolutions.
Alex's hands trembled. These weren't ordinary starter items. This was power—real power.
[Ding! Host, please choose which item to use first.]
