Ch. 01 - Friendly World Of Pokemon

Another 10 minutes later, I walked out of the convenience store with a plastic bag full of Instant Noodles and Energy Bars.

Just as I came out of the convenience store, I saw the most unimaginable thing that I could have possibly hoped for in the sky.

There is a giant Professor Oak in the sky.

From the memories that I have inherited, It's clear that this is not normal. The Professor Oak in the Sky does not look like a real being but more like a High Definition Hologram.

"What is that...?" exclaimed random mob 1.

"Is there a movie shooting going on...?" pondered random mob 2.

"It is definitely CGI" remarked random mob 3.

People began to crowd under the Image of Professor Oak; some started recording and taking photographs of Professor Oak.

Suddenly, the Professor Oak in the sky came to life and with a booming voice said,

[Hello, there!]

[Glad to meet you all!]

[Get ready to experience the world of Pokemon!]

[My name is Oak]

[People affectionately refer to me as the Pokemon Professor.]

[The Pokemon world...]

Professor Oak retrieved a Pokemon ball from his Pocket, and a Nidoran came out of it.

[...is inhabited far and wide by creatures called Pokemon.]

[For some people, Pokemon are pets. Others use them for battling.]

[As for myself...]

[I study Pokemon as a profession.]

[Today, I am tasked to introduce the world of Pokemon to all of you.]

[In the world which you are about to enter, you will embark on a grand adventure with you as the Hero.]

[Speak to people and check things wherever you go, be it towns, roads, or caves. Gather information and hints from every source.]

[New paths will open to you by helping people in need, overcoming challenges, and solving mysteries.]

[At times, you will be challenged by others and attacked by wild creatures. So do not forget to take your Pokemon with you when exploring.]

[Through your adventures, we hope that you help integrate the Pokemon into your world.]

[Your very own Pokemon legend is about to unfold!]

[A world of dreams and adventures with Pokemon awaits!]

[But remember, the world of Pokemon is full of mysteries]

As Professor Oak said the last line, huge shadows appeared behind him.

"Wow!!!, what are those giant shadows...?" exclaimed random mob 4.

"Man, the script of this movie sure is interesting." remarked random mob 2.

Unlike others, I instantly recognized these giant shadows of Mew, Mewtwo, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and many other legendary Pokemon, but the most eye-catching of them all was the shadow of Arceus, which is twice the size of other shadows.

[Soon, people from the age of 19-50 will be transferred to the world of Pokemon. And will be known as Players]

[Since this will be the first time players are going to Pokemon World, every individual from the age group of 19-50 will be forcibly transferred to the world of Pokemon.]

[Starting from the second day, players will have the choice to either accept or refuse to go to the Pokemon world.]

[For the first month, each day players can only spend a total of 6 hours in the Pokemon world. Starting from the second month, players can stay in the Pokemon world for as long as they want.]

[Everyone from the age group of 19-50 will have exactly 30 minutes before they are transferred to the world of Pokemon.]

[Do not worry as the World of Pokemon is a friendly World. Unless anything unexpected happens, All of you will be safe.]

[Be brave and Keep pushing on. Become the champion and the world will be yours. Money, Fame, everything as long as you have the power.]

And just like that, the giant Professor Oak vanished from the sky.

Right after the disappearance of Professor Oak, a holographic window appeared in front of me.

[Time Left - 00:29:59]

[Reminder 1 - Players cannot take any item to the Pokemon world, but players can take out items from the Pokemon world to their world as long as certain conditions are satisfied.]

[Reminder 2 - Any item eaten/drank in the Pokemon world will not satisfy the Hunger of the player as well as sleeping in the Pokemon world will not have any effect either.]

Just as I read through the information on the screen, the loud noises of the surrounding people caught my attention.

"What is that...?" questioned random mob 1, while flapping his hands in the air, trying to touch something invisible.

"Is this real...?" pondered random mob 2, while staring into the void, possibly looking at his holographic window.

"It is definitely not CGI" insisted random mob 3.

Immediately, people started to panic, and chaos erupted.

Ignoring all this, I started running towards the direction of my apartment. Along the way, I checked the internet for any additional information, and it seems that similar events have happened all over the world.

People are sharing pictures and videos of different Professors, which I assume must be from the Pokemon games that take place in different regions.

All the professors said the same things, and after they disappeared, people started seeing a holographic screen with a timer running on it.

Running at my full speed, I was able to reach my apartment within 6 minutes.

[Time Left - 00:22:37]

After entering my apartment, I ate 1 Energy bar while I put some water to heat up. Since anything that I eat in the Pokemon world will have no effect on my real body, it is important that I have a full stomach before entering the Pokemon world.

Soon, I made Instant Noodles from the hot water. All this took me about 10 minutes leaving me with about 10 minutes on the clock.

[Time Left - 00:09:41]

Looking at the screen, I lay down on my bed as I thought of what awaits in the Pokemon world.

[Time Left - 00:06:24]

[Time Left - 00:02:09]

[Time Left - 00:01:11]

And I forgot to mention that in this world, Pokemon series does not exist, be it Pokemon anime, Pokemon games, or Pokemon cards nothing related to Pokemon exists. Which means that I am the only person in this world who has any knowledge about Pokemon.

I wish that I had played all the Pokemon games. If I had known something like this would happen.

Oh well, just the knowledge from the Pokemon Fire Red game and the Pokemon anime, which I could barely remember because it's been so long since I have watched the Pokemon anime, should be more than enough to gain a lead over other players.

[Time Left - 00:00:02]

[Time Left - 00:00:01]

"Here we go!!!"
