CHAPTER 1 – RESURRECTION

My vision went completely black after jumping onto the train tracks, I most likely died in that incident, it's logical, after all I was hit by a train, but all that doesn't matter now because I'm dead, but wait a minute, if I'm dead... Why can I think?

I want to know the reason why I can think even though I'm dead, maybe it's because heaven and hell exist? It is possible that it is that, yes, I just hope to go to heaven and not hell, I would not bear to spend an eternity being tortured.

But, just when I wanted to keep thinking, I started to glimpse a figure, it looked a lot like the man who told me about Pokémon before I died, but it was also very blurry and I couldn't see it completely.

"It looks like you really killed yourself, well, actually that's better, I haven't had to change the world much thanks to that" - said the figure.

Hey? What do you mean by changing the world?

"I forgot that you can't talk, however, I can't tell you who I am, I'll only tell you your purpose in your new life" – said the figure.

Purpose? New life? What is this person saying?

"I don't know whether or not to congratulate you, but you have been chosen to reincarnate in another world, but don't worry, you don't have any specific purpose, your purpose is chosen by you" – said the figure.

Reincarnating in another world? Like in the novels I read years ago?

"That's right, you have been randomly chosen to reincarnate in the Pokémon world, don't ask why you will reincarnate there, there is no specific reason, I simply chose that world myself as the most suitable for you" – said the figure.

The Pokémon world? Am I going to be reincarnated in the world of my favorite anime? That's great!

I didn't know if all this was real, a dream or my imagination, but I will hold on to this small hope, to the hope that this can be real.

"It's very real, anyway, choose your purpose" – said the figure.

Huh, now? It's too sudden to choose!

"There is no time, if you don't choose, you will reincarnate in that world randomly, but depending on your purpose in that world, you will get some privileges, but don't expect anything too OP" – said the figure.

Ok, I'll choose! Anyway, now that I think about it, when I saw how Ash ascended to the top, I always thought about how incredible it would be if it were me, to travel around the Pokémon world, a mysterious world, to capture Pokémon both normal and legendary and even mythical, I always imagined myself being a Pokémon trainer, what Pokémon fan didn't imagine himself/herself being a Pokémon trainer? All Pokémon fans go through that stage at some point.

"Then your purpose will be to be a Pokémon trainer and become the best of all, well, now choose your gender" – said the figure.

Male, I was a man in my previous life and I want to continue being a man in this one, thank you.

"Then you will be a man and not a woman, now tell me, which region is your favorite? Think very carefully about your choice because depending on your answer, you could reincarnate into one person or another" – said the figure.

I have no doubt about that, call me classic, but my favorite region is Kanto, without a doubt.

"Kanto? There are very few talented trainers in that region, are you sure about that?" – said the figure.

Even if there aren't many talented trainers, that doesn't mean anything, after all, I can simply forge my own path, no matter if the person I'll reincarnate into is talented or not.

"I think you get confused, you may have played video games a lot and you may have even watched all the anime, but this is real life and real life is not the same as in video games, as a person from another world, you have no experience as a trainer, that's why it's important to reincarnate yourself as someone with talent, otherwise, it will be very difficult for you, someone born in a world without Pokémon, to be a trainer" – explained the figure.

Well... It makes sense, I guess.

While I do have experience, being a Pokémon trainer in real life can be more difficult than I think, so it would be good for me if the body I reincarnate in has notions of how to be a trainer, putting together their notions of how to be a trainer and my knowledge of video games and anime, I will become the perfect trainer!

"Perfec, you understood that very well, but as I said, there are very few talented trainers in Kanto and since you need someone to start their adventure, I can only think of one person with that talent in all of Kanto" - said the figure.

Who?

"The young Ash, he's the only person with that kind of talent in all of Kanto, in fact, he's the best choice" - the figure said.

Hmm, it's not that I'm complaining, but I don't think it's very right to occupy the body of someone alive.

"Doesn't it seem right to you? To begin with I can only reincarnate you into someone alive, so no matter who you reincarnate into, you will always replace his body, now you only have two options, the first reincarnates into Ash and lives a life full of adventures, the second is that... you will be judged to go to heaven or hell and accessing heaven is not as easy as you think" – said the figure.

Reincarnate me as Ash!

I feel sorry for him, but I want to be reborn in that world and not only to catch Pokémon, but to fulfill my craziest dream, to have a harem, I will captivate all the pokegirls and make them mine.

"Do you want a harem? Then give me a second, I'll have to look for a timeline where the harem is normal..." – said the figure.

Ok.

I waited for what seemed like hours, but at last, the figure spoke again.

"Done, I've already found a suitable timeline for you" – said the figure.

Perfect!

"Now you will reincarnate in that world as Ash Ketchum, catch Pokémon, captivate women and fulfill your purpose, maybe if you fulfill it 100% there will be a surprise waiting for you at the end of your road" – said the figure.

Hold on! Didn't you say you'd give me an advantage or something?

"That's right, but you will find out once you wake up, now I say goodbye to you, live your life to the fullest and maybe, if you do it right, we can meet again in the future..." – said the figure.

I wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly, my consciousness vanished.

…

In a village in the Pokémon world.

We are in Pallet Town, a small town in Kanto where many trainers go on a journey to become the best Pokémon trainer in the world.

At age 15, young dreamers receive a starter Pokémon and set out on their adventure, get badges, and participate in Pokémon League in hopes of emerging victorious on their journey.

Pallet Town was a very special place in Kanto because it is the home of Professor Oak, one of the best Professor pokémon in the world who dedicates his life to finding out everything about Pokémon and the mysteries that surround them, but he is also in charge of giving starter Pokémon to the first-time trainers of Pallet Town, namely, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, three very strong and rare Pokémon.

Today, it was the 15th birthday of three very special people, two of them we will know about them in the future, because we will focus on the third.

The third person was one of the most well-known young people in the entire town, his name was Ash Ketchum and since he was a child his dream had been to become the best Pokémon trainer in the world and today, it would be the day he would receive his starter Pokémon, the Pokémon that would accompany him during his adventures, nevertheless...

"Ash, it's time to wake up, you're going to be late!" – said a female voice.

It was Delia, Ash's mother, who was trying to wake up her son, who had fallen asleep and was about to be late.
