Chapter 1: The End and a New Beginning
Darkness.
That was the last thing I saw before everything went silent.
My name was Rihan, just a normal guy who loved Pokémon since childhood. I had every Pokémon game on my emulator, even the ones that didn't work properly. I used to dream — what if Pokémon were real? What if I had a partner like Pikachu or Lucario?
But life doesn't care about dreams.
One night, while I was walking home from work, I saw a little girl standing in the middle of the road. The lights from the truck blinded my eyes. I jumped without thinking.
Then… nothing.
When I opened my eyes again, I wasn't on the road anymore.
I was sitting in front of a huge figure — someone glowing like the sun but calm like the moon. A god.
"Welcome, mortal," the being said in a voice that echoed everywhere. "You died a heroic death. For that, I shall give you another chance… in a world you know well."
My eyes widened. "W-Wait… do you mean…?"
"Yes. The Pokémon World."
I couldn't breathe for a second. My heart started racing. Me? In the Pokémon world?
But before I could even smile, the god continued,
"However, your journey won't be ordinary. You are chosen for a special experiment. I will give you not one, but four systems — each with its own power."
"Four… systems?" I repeated in disbelief.
The god raised his hand, and four glowing orbs appeared around me — red, blue, gold, and black.
"Listen carefully," he said.
> [Level System] — Train, battle, and grow like an RPG.
[Gacha System] — Roll for random Pokémon, skills, and items.
[Bond System] — The stronger your bond with Pokémon, the stronger both of you become.
[Destiny System] — Choose your fate. The world will change based on your decisions.
My head was spinning. "Four systems… in one body? Isn't that cheating?"
The god smiled faintly. "Maybe. But this world is not kind. The champions you know… are not as pure as you think. You will need every power to survive."
Before I could ask more, light surrounded me.
"Wait! At least tell me where I'm going!" I shouted.
"Kalos Region. The world of beauty, battles, and destiny. Your journey begins there…"
And just like that, I felt my body fall through the light.
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a soft bed in a small wooden room.
I looked around — a Poké Ball on the desk, a bag near the window, and a mirror showing a younger version of me — about fifteen years old.
My hands were shaking. "I… really reincarnated…"
Then, four voices echoed in my mind.
> [Level System Activated!]
[Gacha System Activated!]
[Bond System Activated!]
[Destiny System Activated!]
A blue panel appeared in front of my eyes.
Name: Rihan
Age: 15
Region: Kalos
Starter Pokémon: ???
Systems: 4 in 1 (Locked/Unlocked: 0/4)
I grinned. "So it's real… it's all real."
I walked to the window and looked outside.
The sun was rising over the quiet town. I could see flocks of Fletchlings flying across the sky and a Bunnelby hopping near the fence.
"This time," I whispered, tightening my fist, "I'll become the strongest Pokémon Master in this world — no matter what it takes."
