You know, it's interesting how you're quick to assume that Austin's quest for answers means reverting to a mundane life. It's not about merely returning; it's about unraveling the mysteries that led him to this extraordinary situation. As a reader, wouldn't you be curious about the hows and whys of such an unexpected journey? It's about the intrigue, not just the destination. And let's talk about implications—just because Austin hasn't constantly verbalized every question or concern doesn't mean they aren't crucial to his character development or the plot. Think of it this way: if Austin is in Ash Ketchum's body, then naturally, one would wonder what happened to Ash. These questions build the mystery and tension, essential elements of a good story. They are revealed at the right moments within the narrative to keep readers like you hooked. Revealing everything upfront would be like serving the dessert before the appetizer, don't you think?

Nope, Raticate is dead. Her dead pushed Austin and majority of his Pokemon to what they are. I don't want to take away her impact by reviving her.

Naruto gains katana via ANBU. It's seemed redundant to add a katana feature to his umbrella when he would get one eventually in the ANBU

Yes and No. Naruto can theoretically grow his stats with training. But the thing is, Naruto's body doesn't have any limits like Saitama's body due to the system so for him to grow, the training should be something that is something else like him training with Guy for a year to get like +10 stat boosts.

here you go, even you said you would panic depending on the situation now that answers you question. I have my mc freak out to show that he is at the end of the day an average kid not some prodigy who memoriesed every Pokemon stat and is calm at even the most high stress situation. yeah, Austin grows to be much more mature and dark protagonist because this world isn't the anime, it's much worse. Also, you can check the dates on the chapters to know which ones have been fixed or not. but don't worry, I work fast and I'll probably fix 2 to 5 chapters daily so you can enjoy the proper series without worry

Imagine this. you are a 15 year old, you suddenly woke up inside a room you don't know, inside the body of someone you know is a fictional character like Goku or superman or batman. if you don't panic and say how or why especially as a teen who isn't used to such weird situations then congrulations you aren't the average people. i hope that helped. head up, i am rewriting some of the first 50 chapters by correcting the Grammer etc alongside removing and adding some dialogue features so you'll find some chapters a little clunky

I will start uploading once I am done writing 30 to 60 chapters so that I have a stash of it built. 15 chapters done for now.

I am changing a few of the earlier chapters. originally, Austin caught Rattata before Brock's gym but I didn't like it so I changed it. slowly i am coming towards fixing the other chapters, grammar and removing a few things I didn't like. I hope you don't mind.

Hinata when Naruto's flaming Kunai cauterized her wounds. also Explanation - why would Hinata be a libability if they did a simple bandage? Think of it like this, hinata uses her palms and fingers to attack, when she is attacking, her wounds will open and she doesn't exactly have any long range abilities that would be viable and serve a role in the party hence why she didn't want to be a libability when she felt she was in the previous chapter. this moment is to enforce Hinata finally becoming like Naruto parallel what Naruto did when he was injured in canon during the wave arc as he was poisoned.
