CHAPTER 2 – POKÉMON TRAINER SYSTEM

*Note: As you can see I have decided to upload another chapter today mainly because I had nothing to do and I was bored, but do not expect that this will happen always that I am bored :)

...

Ash's mother, Delia, had called her son not to be late, otherwise, it is very likely that he would be left without a starter Pokémon, technically only two trainers apart from Ash were going to choose their starter Pokémon, but... Setbacks exist.

Hearing that voice, I immediately opened my eyes and sat up as I looked around in confusion.

I died and supposedly reincarnated into the Pokémon world as Ash Ketchum, but I honestly believed it was hallucinations or something, so when I woke up and saw what I had around me, I was shocked.

It was a room I knew perfectly, it appeared several times in the anime after all.

"I have truly reincarnated as Ash!" – I exclaimed happily.

This was clearly Ash's room, I would recognize it even with my eyes closed!

"Then it's true, I've reincarnated, Hahaha, I can't believe it!" – I said while laughing.

It was amazing, I had actually been reincarnated in the anime I like the most! Can you be happier than I already am right now?

"That being said that only Ash had the talent, but the question is... has this Ash already started his journey or is it the first day?" – I wondered.

After sit up, I tried to look for any hint of Pikachu, but I couldn't even find a Pokéball, which means that I reincarnated Ash before he started his journey.

"Perfect, I was reincarnated before Ash embarked on his journey, now I can write my own story!" – I said excitedly.

The question is, should I follow the original plot or should I do what I want? I think the answer is obvious.

"Our goal may be the same, but I'll go my own way, besides, I don't want to travel with boys, I'll only accept girls in my group, I'm sorry for that, Brock" – I said to myself.

I don't want to follow the story of the original Ash, I may come across some events that he lived, I think that's inevitable, but I'll go my own way.

"Alright, since it's the first day, I should go down, I don't want to be late like the original Ash did" – I said while looking for my clothes.

But at that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in my head.

[… The Pokémon trainer system has been settle in with the host's soul... Starting system... system initiated, nice to meet you, host!]

A system? Now that I remember, that kind of figure told me that he would give me a gift, is this system the gift?

[That's right, I'm a gift given to you by a higher entity whose name I can't mention]

"Perfect! What is your function?" – I asked immediately.

I don't think I need to become strong in the Pokémon world, physically I mean.

[Informing the host that this is the Pokémon Trainer system, a system tailor-made for you that will help you improve as a trainer until you reach the top!]

"Sounds good! What are your functions?" – I asked again.

I want to know what its functions are.

[See for yourself, host]

And all of a sudden, I could see a kind of translucent screen with certain data written on it.

Name: Ash Ketchum.

Age: 15 years old.

Intelligence: 15

Dexterity: 20

Charm: 22.

That was my "status" if you can call it that, but under the "Charm", there was a little arrow and when I clicked on it, this came out under "Charm".

System Functions:

- Pokémon Team.

- Bag.

- Gacha.

Hmm, they seem interesting functions and I think I more or less know what they are about, but I prefer the system to give me an explanation.

"System, I need quite a few explanations here" – I said.

I was confused, why were only 3 statistics shown? Shouldn't I have more? And another thing, what are those functions that seem to be taken from a video game?

[Responding to the host, I'll explain it to you right now.

Intelligence: Measure your intelligence, the more intelligence you have, the easier it will be for you to think of strategies, an inexperienced trainer has only 9 in Intelligence.

Dexterity: stat that gives you great dexterity in Pokémon battles, apply your strategies much better, counteract the possible strategies of your rivals, the more dexterity you have, the better trainer you will be, the dexterity of a novice trainer is a 10.

Charm: Measure your beauty, the more charm you have, the easier it will be for women to fall in love with you, the average human being in this world is 10.

Pokémon Team: You can see your current Pokémon team just like in video games, in addition, from this tab you can equip items to your Pokémon and even change their moves and don't worry, once a Pokémon learns a new move, all the information regarding that move will appear in his/her head.

In addition, your Pokémon will never be surprised that you can do this and will take it as if it were normal and the equipped item will be invisible to everyone including for the host.

Bag: It is your inventory, it has no limit.

Gacha: A very useful function in which, through gacha tickets, you can get different types of items, ranging from simple potions to a Master Ball, everything is possible if you have the necessary luck.

*Note: you can't get Pokémon here, this is only an item Gacha]

"Don't with me, this system is great and this OP!" – I exclaimed out loud.

With this system I can equip any item, something that in anime was very difficult or almost impossible, in fact, I never saw a Pokémon have an item equipped in anime, so this system is great!

[Informing the host, Ash Ketchum is the protagonist of this world and as the protagonist, he has certain privileges, among others, his luck, Ash has incredible luck that has now been transferred to you, so you can expect good things to happen to him, but don't be overconfident because that doesn't mean that everything will work out for you!]

I expected it, I'm not surprised at all! By the way, do you have any starter packs?

[Yes, there is one, but the host is advised to open it after getting their starter Pokémon]

"Fuck, the starter, I forgot!" – I exclaimed.

Then I took the clothes I had next to the bed, put them on and quickly went downstairs.

"Ash, look what time it is, now I'm sure you're late!" – Delia exclaimed.

She couldn't believe how long it had taken her son to come down despite having warned him on several occasions.

I was surprised, but not because of her beauty or anything like that, but because I was able to see Ash's mother in person, this is great!

"What are you looking at? Hurry up or they'll take all the Pokémon from you! You were very excited yesterday, you even went to bed late, I told you, don't go to bed late because then you won't be able to wake up" – Delia sighed.

Yesterday Ash stayed up late thinking about what his life was going to be like from now on, the adventures he would have to face and the challenges that awaited him, so obviously he slept late and today he woke up late.

"I'm leaving!" – I said.

"But wait, you forgot to put your shoes on!" – Delia exclaimed.

But our protagonist, whom we will call Ash from now on, walked away without having heard her.

I quickly made my way to Professor Oak's lab, how did I know the way? Well, the original Ash had left me with some memories, so I just used them.
