Me and my starter-

(POV Karma)

"Ugh my head…" I groaned in pain before I suddenly felt soft grass on my back along with fresh almost sweet air.

"Huh, whats…" I got up and opened my eyes to see myself in the middle of a forest filled with lush golden birch trees.

(So I really did die…) I thought as I plopped back down on my back and stared at the serine blue sky with golden leaves dancing in the air.

(What now do I become a trainer, a champion, crime boss, a professor, cannon fodder, a doctor like I was previously…) I stared at the endless sky with excitement for the future yet I feared the unknown that it held.

"Just what do I want to do in this life…" I said in an unsure tone as I watched clouds cover the sun before I shook my head.

"No use pondering in the unknown, now system open!" I said with excitement.

<System opened! Binding initiated!>

After I heard the robotic voice I felt an excruciatingly painful burning sensation.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" I rolled back and forth in the clearing writhing in pain as I saw black markings engrave themselves onto my wrists and my ears rung.

After a few minutes of agonizing pain, two identical tattoos were left on my arms starting from the wrist and ending on my elbow.

I huffed and grunted in pain sweat soaked into my clothes as the voice echoed in my voice once more.

{he's wearing a white shirt with black track pants}

<System bonded tap engravings to continue>

I hesitated to touch the markings the pain still fresh in my mind before I maned up and pressed it bracing myself for the pain as they glowed bright blue.

I immediately tapped the item after reading the contents and two panels containing lottery wheels appeared.

I then tapped the wheel containing pixelated pokemon eyeing the wheel closely as it spun for a minute straight.

"YES! YES! NO! NO!" I saw the wheel slowly come to a halt passing by a grimsnarl before it showed a snorelax before it finally stopped on…

*TING TING*

<Congratulations on obtaining your first pokemon rotom level 1!> The system congratulated me before a cherish ball fell on my lap.

{Image}

"A rotom eh?" I grinned as I imagined the sheer utility and potential the creature in this ball contained.

I put my impulsive thoughts of releasing the pokemon as I spun the wheel.

(I think welcoming it with a gift should give it a good impression of me.) I thought as the wheel stopped on something terrifying.

(Is that even possible- of course, it's possible they can control any machinery so it should make sense…) I thought as I eyed the chainsaw and pokeball in front of me.

"Welp here goes nothing…" I gulped as I pressed the button on the pokeball.

Immediately sparks of electricity bursted out of the ball and a blue and orange object zoomed around me.

"PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" I said out of instinct and the rotom stopped zooming around me as it looked at me with a mischievous grin.

{Image}

*Gulp*

I gulped as it hurled itself at me at lightning speed.

"AAAAAHHHHHAHAHAHA STOP PLEASE THAT TICKLES!" I laughed as the rotom nuzzled its body on my cheek and my hair frizzed up into an afro.

*Pipipiupup*

The rotom made a cute beeping sound as I pulled it off my face and it floated on top of both my hands.

"Well, aren't you just the cutest thing~" I playfully said as I tickled its body with my index figure to which it giggled and wrapped its… arms yeah arms around my finger hugging me with a cute expression.

"Aww..." I muttered as I played with the literal bundle of energy.

After a few minutes of coddling the little guy, he fell asleep on my leg.

Suddenly I noticed one of the hexagons glowing and tapped it revealing the rotom's status.

"Interesting usually rotoms only have 'Levitate' as their ability…" I muttered with interest as I gently pat the rotom.

{Heads up in this fanfic pokemon can have any move and ability as long as it fits with their physiology and type! It also contains a lot of fan-made regional variants and evolutions!}

"Hmm… since you got a chainsaw as your first item I'll name you Denji!" I said my tone oozing joy as I typed in the name.

(Now let's learn more about this world…) I thought as I opened my inventory and read the world guide manual as the rotom floated on my leg apparently sleeping.

Half an hour later…

(Okay so trainers can be split into rookie trainer, trainer, intermediate trainer, expert trainer, ace trainer, elite trainer, regional champion, and world champion better known as Pokemon master…)  I revised the common knowledge memorizing it.

(This world is not too dangerous like in those fanfics as long as you're near any human settlement with raids being rare and not too dangerous depending on rank due to the presence of humans…and I'm out of luck cause I'm in a fucking island!) I cursed mentally as I looked at the map showing the black island with a tiny portion of it colorized with a small marker indicating where I was.

(Legendary pokemon along with mythical are worshiped so chances are that they have big egos and I should avoid them at all cost as even a meloetta can level a city with ease. Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-moves exist and are used often in battles so we can assume Team Flair exists…) I thought as I closed the manual and stared at the system panel.

(…And I think I figured out the uses of the systems first there's the inventory, then the shop for items and food among other things, then the map, missions where if I complete certain tasks I get rewards, and then the final thing that can make me a top rank professor the Pokedex that contains every single bit of knowledge from new and split evolutionary paths to behavior and habitats to regional variants and even what the best growth paths a pokemon can take.) I thought with excitement.

"Once I get off this island I can get to the top of the world by becoming a prodigy professor!" I shouted with joy causing Denji to wake up.

*pipipi?*

He yawned before slowly stretching his body.

"Oh sorry did I disturb you?" I said apologetically as I pet the drowsy rotom that purred with delight.

*Bibibibi* 

(Cute…) I thought as he pulled away from my grasp and stared at the chainsaw with excitement before he lunged at it.

"Eh?..." I blurted out as the chainsaw started morphing before my eyes.

*Chainsaw reeving*

In an instant, the chainsaw grew eyes and revved up before launching itself at a tree cleaving it in an instant.

{Image}

*Pipipip!*

Rotom screeched in panic as the tree fell towards me to which I hurriedly dodged to the side.

"I'm alright!" I assured the rotom with a strained smile as I stubbed my toe on a rock in the process of dodging.

*Pi…*

It sighed in relief as I walked towards it.

*Gulp*

It gulped and quaked in fear as I towered over it and stretched my hand out.

"That was so cool! But be a little more careful next ok Denji?" I said softly to the shivering rotom as I pet it on the head calming it down seeing no point in berating it for an accident.
