Chapter 1The Doctor (Prologue 1)

I see hatred and fear in their eyes. As if I was responsible for the spreading disease. As if I were the source of all the misery plaguing this land.

Their infected, rotten flesh fills my vision, drowning my smell, my hearing, my sight, in a mass of suffering.

I have nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. The woods have closed us off from the outside world.

We are all doomed.

My eyes opened.

"They're all fucking savages..." I mumbled as I recounted my nightmare. I have been having that same dream for days now, and if I were any more religious I would have said it was a sign from God. That is, if God hasn't already died in these forsaken woods.

However, dreams of the past would never help me survive the present. I shook off all remnants of the dream and stood up. All around me was the smell of mold, yet it was the cleanest place in my house, my office. Around the room were few things; the room was small after all. A desk, some potatoes, and various medical notes and papers were scattered across the room. Months ago, I used to brainstorm about cures to the plague in this room. As such, I know all of these notes by heart. I've long since given up on hope.

Who cares about other people in this land? All for what? Admiration?

I opened my room from my living area. Once decorated by furniture, now the living room was only decorated by bloody, rusted cages. This time they're empty. I glanced at a door in the corner. Sometimes whimpering could still be heard coming from it. Wouldn't want to open that door now. I spent too long trying to lock him in there, if he could even still be called human.

As I was looking at the door, the lights in the room flickered rapidly, then suddenly shut off.

Shit, the generator's empty. Perhaps the broken tractor to the east of here would have some to spare. Surviving in the dark at night is suicide.

Grabbing my axe from the side of my house, I was amazed to find another tree has grown from the small passageway that leads from my house to the rest of the woods.

'The trees are growing faster and faster. Sooner or later I won't be able to cut them down fast enough.'

As I cut through it again, a man appeared in my vision. Bloodied and unconscious, he was dressed in a scarecrow's garb. As I moved closer and closer, I could barely suppress my urge to vomit. He, he was disgusting, absolutely disgusting. Beady eyes, and the only skin that wasn't covered by his clothing were horribly mangled, purple and black, worse than any plague victim I have set my eyes on. yet I could see that he did not prepare much, in fact it seems like he was carrying nothing, and since he was clothed, I knew that he was somewhat sentient.

I searched his pocket. There it was, a large metal key, rusted and flecked with dirt.

My salvation, it had to be. What else could it be? What other use could a key have?

He was carrying a key, he knew the passage out. It had to be.

My daughter, she's waiting for me on the other side. She has to be.

I checked him over like a rapid dog, my disgust in his appearance all but forgotten. But, where would the exit be? He had to know, but he can't tell me if he's unconscious. As I slung him across my shoulder, I thought to myself.

'He won't tell me voluntarily, but, then again...

Voluntary, hehe, anything becomes voluntary after some persuasion...'

Anything to survive. Anything to see my daughter again.

Tags: Action - Adventure - Romance - Harem - Comedy - Slice of Life - R18 ----- Synopsis: A day like any other, I woke up only to find out a difference, I'm floating in space and I don't know why... Luckily, I have several things in my pocket that might be able to help me. A cell phone, a mirror...? Why do I have a banana? Soon after, I witness an even more surreal scene. Aren't those two Lan and Yaoshi from the gacha game Honkai Star Rail? What are they doing fighting in front of me? Hey, why are they giving me their powers?! Soon after, I was picked up by Herta and for some reason she fell in love with me. Years later, Aha sent me back in time and I met my waifu Firefly, I proposed to her. Back in the present, I became Silver Wolf's soul mate, now we even sleep and bathe together. Some time later, the Estelaron Hunters came to recruit us. Kafka started to see me as her son and... why is she collecting pictures of me...? Then, at Lan's request, I met Feixiao and somehow we got engaged... Please, the canon story hasn't even started and the plot is already a mess, what will happen in the future...? ----- Warning: I'll make a few things clear, I'm writing this fanfic for pure entertainment due to boredom at the moment. Since I have nothing better to do right now, I simply started writing just because. The research I'll be doing will also be superficial, so you might encounter problems with the timeline. In general, almost everything will unfold just like the plot of the game. Also, this is a translation of my own fanfic. I won't do any re-reading, so I won't check for translation errors, repeated adjectives, gender error and any other grammatical mistakes. I also won't be correcting the characters' names into English (due to laziness) so they might change from time to time. Finally, here I will update a little later compared to the original, which is in Spanish: "Honkai Star Rail: Soy el Emanador de todos los Eones" Whatever the case, you have been warned.

Pokemon: A life worth living

Pete was an ordinary guy. He didn't get out much. But he had a decent job and hobbies that kept him busy. And a brother that he could rely on and so Pete was content with how his life was going. Well, until he made a robot that killed him. Yeah, it totally wasn't his own fault. Turns out, the afterlife would have to wait a little longer to claim his soul. And so he is sent to a world he created as a hobby novelist and fan fiction writer. He took the pokemon world and gave it a dash of realism. Anything that made sense to HIM was changed about the pokemon world. And that's the world he is about to be thrown into. With no mission, no goal. All he should do is live a life worth living. __________________________________________________ I'm kinda just writing this after I read one too many pokemon fanfics (god I love Borne of Caution) and I wanted something that didn't revolve around Ash or someone replacing him to become the next poke champ. I have a few plotlines ready, but I'm not even fully sold on all the pokemon I want to add. Definitely taking suggestions, though keep it non-legendary and preferably Gen I-III (because that's where he lives. The MC can't keep getting lucky finding all the super rare pokemon from regions halfway across the globe) Taking suggestions on the female lead, too. Comment in the MC POV chapter at the end or leave a review with your top 3 pokemon waifus. If I see a Vaporeon there I'll drop this fanfic (possibly). So my MC will likely choose farming and/or breeding as a profession, probably a good amount of research sprinkled in on the side. It's what I would do for sure and this is pretty much a self-insert. Even the MC's name is a play on my real name. There's no levels, no system, no talent-tiers. Sure there are pokemon with higher and lower talents, but no egghead sat their butt down and color-coded it all in my world. This is my take on what reality with pokemon would look like in the pokemon world. The MC is starting in Kanto (on route 27 just between Kanto and Johto), but will open up his farm in Johto. That's Gen2. I'll start with chapters that have 3k+++ words, but eventually it will go down to 1.5-2k I reckon. Still trying to catch some motivation to continue my other 2 fics. And honestly I'm just procrastinating my original story with this... #slowpaced #no-really-it-is-very-slow-paced #NOpokefuta #human-human-relationship-only (you degenerates) #farming #nosystem #PokemonAU #Reuniclus-is-GOAT #conspiracies May Arceus bless us all.
