The Pokémon Gamer
Hello, my name is James, I am an avid gamer to the point that is somewhat of an addiction. Especially in the world of Pokémon. The idea of going out to catch creatures, then help them to get stronger and form a bond with them. With any humanoid pokemon I tend to get attracted to them, for example; the Gardevoir species. Oh, how I wish I were in the pokemon world, just to have such loyal friends. Little did I know that I would get my wish.
"*ding*"
"zzz zzz zzz."
"*ding*"
"…..*ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding**ding*"
"What in god's name is making that noise, I don't remember setting the alarm…WERE THE F* # AM I?!" Why am I panicking, well if you woke up in a pitch black glossy room that seems to go on forever. Wouldn't you panic? As I look around my eyes catch on a glowing object. It was a window. This window like a tutorial window from when you start a new game. " Well, nothing better to do so let's see what this says" 'Welcome James we have chosen you for the ability of the gamer.' "WAIT WHAT? …"
"HOLY F* #, T-t-this IS AMAZING!"
"*ding*"
"Do you wish to go back to your world Y/N" "*note there is no magic in the world so there will be no mana instead there will be stamina points."
'As much as I love and enjoy my life in my world that be a no.'
"*ding*"
"Are you sure Y/N"
'Oh, so it can read my mind.'
"*ding*" "Your thoughts can control the UI interface when directed at it, This is to avoid possible setting changes when not meaning to"
'okay that's good, glad that's a thing' "Well good thinking whoever thought of that."
"*ding*" "you gained +1 luck for your compliment, as well +1 point to Charisma."
A bead of sweat collects on my forehead, 'lol wasn't expecting that, but yeah…okay, so certain actions will net me stat points? cool' As an afterthought I think to myself, 'hmm I wonder, maybe if I point things out in the system I will gain stats for that too?'
"*ding*" "for thinking of a way to get early stat points you gain +1 int and +1 Wis."
"Awesome I feel smarter already!" I shout feeling the stat point clear my head 'so maybe I should save level up points for later level when getting stats are harder to get through that system.'
"*ding*" "+1 wis"
'thanks'
"And yes, I am sure."
"*ding*""Which world would you like to go to?"
"Naruto"
"Bleach"
"Dragon Ball"
"Pokémon"
"Yu Gi Oh"
"Harry Potter"
"My Hero Academia"
"Kingdom Hearts"
"WOW, Those are some choices," I say contemplating my choices. 'Which one do I want to go to, they all sound fun, but frankly... Oh who am I kidding, POKÉMON'
"*ding*""Are you sure?" Y/N
"Fuck yes I am!"
…
"*ding*" "How do you want to begin in this world?
Randomly Transported
Born
Called Upon
*Each point has its own Ups and Downs, select one to find out what they are."
'Can't I get a pop-up window to compare and contrast the pros and cons of each?' "*ding*""*ding*""*ding*"
3 windows pop up with their info.
Randomly Transported- You will randomly spawn in one of the regions out in the wilderness, far enough that it will take 2-5 hours to find a town depending on with direction you go first, or if you get help from the local wilderness.
-Starting gear: your clothes on you. You get to choose 3 extra items to bring with you. You also start fully nourished and quenched. As well as 5 perks
Born- just like it says you were born in the world. Options are as followed:
Option 1: you were raised by pokemon in the wilderness, do to an accident *type of accident depends on the region you choose.
Starting gear: Cloth Rags*made form silk of the local pokemon +10 in constitution, +13 Strength +10 Dex only speaks pokemon
Option 2: you were born into a wealthy family
Starting gear: any type of clothing depends on your style and budget, +10 int +8 wis +7 Cha, +50000 Pokédollars, fluent in 2-3 languages
* languages are chosen when growing up
Option 3: You were born into a Poor family
Starting gear: any type of clothing depends on your style and budget, +5 Int +2 Wis +1 Cha, +500 PokéDollars, Fluent in English
Called Upon
You were called upon by Arceus, to help save the world.
Starting gear: any clothing/armor, can speak pokemon, can use aura, can speak any language. Must help Arceus or you will be transported back to your world.
'hmmm this seems pretty good, except called upon I can't really do what I want, because I will be forced to be a knight basically.' I think deeply for a few seconds debating between the two that sound best, 'I think will go randomly transported.'
"what perks can I get for randomly transported?"
"*ding*"
Pokémon speech- You understand pokemon speech for some reason
Aura User- You have strong enough aura to be able to use it *you cannot have psychic
Part Pokémon-for some reason you are part Pokémon meaning you can mate with any Pokémon *Note Pokémon DNA overrides your human part in your children (You are basically the human version of ditto)
Psychic- You have telekinetic abilities *You cannot have aura user and psychic at the same time in the beginning, but can be achieved through training
Quick Thinker- You think fast no matter what you're doing, you think fast.
Lighting reflexes- Your response times are as fast as lighting
Nature Blessing- Nature loves you, and you love it. +65% better results when scavenging, +10 con +5 strength +5 dex +3 precip when in nature, +15% to healing injuries to you and your party
Logan's loophole- You're like Wolverine from The Xmen you gain + 10 to all stats, and your body will stop aging at 30, you also gain 5000% regen but at the cost of mp when injured but you gain -25% exp
Four eyes- You need glasses without them -20 precip with them +5 precip +20% mp regen
Weak outer frame but strong inner frame- Your body is weak 80% more damage, but you are a genius +25 int +15 wis
'hmm the perks, quick thinker and lighting reflexes, are perks that I could probably get later with by training my mind and my body respectively.'
"*ding*"
'oh, something changed," I browse through trying to figure out what changed. "Oh! Those perks were removed. I guess I was right after all, cool. oh well'
"*ding*"
"For figuring out 2 perks were trainable, they have been removed from starting perk list, and you gain +3 int +1 wis"
"WOW +3 int that's generous," I said getting excited about more stats.
"+1 Cha for being modest."
I laughed, as I rubbed the back of my head, at the flattering the game gave me.
"I think I am going to pick... To be randomly transported. With the starting perks, Pokémon Speech, Aura User, part Pokémon, Nature Blessing, and Logan's Loophole."
"*ding*"
"Please choose your 3 items and starting region."
"Hmm, my 3 items eh…" I tap my chin in thought. 'what should I bring… definitely backpack."
"*ding*""there is an inventory system, a backpack will basically be for cosmetic purposes but, can be used for where the item will appear from when taken out of the inventory."
'Okay so a backpack is still a good Idea if I want to bring out items in front of people' "backpack selected" 'okay good, now I need to get something to navigate with."
"Basic pokénav selected *this only has the map feature and is a bit out of date."
'Better than nothing I guess,' I shrug to myself. 'Now what else should I get," I pause trying to figure out what else I may need. 'Wait a second! I've never taken care of a Pokémon before.' "Is there a by chance a book on how to properly feed and take care of a Pokémon."
"*ding*" "You have selected "The Beginner's Guide To Pokémon Caretaking." Is this correct?"
"yes," I exclaim with a fist pump. I then sighed out of relief, ' For a second there I thought it was going to say no, well that's awesome.'
"*ding*" "region"
'It's going to have to be my favorite region first: Hoenn'
"*ding*" "would you like to go to character design to adjust your looks."
"Sure, why not?" I laugh to myself at the hidden joke. For some reason I slump my shoulders, 'why do I feel ashamed of myself all of a sudden'
After what felt like hours, I finally made what I thought was a good looking guy.(look at my profile page you can see what he looks like, there is a link to it)
I paused for a bit trying to think of what to do next before deciding to look at my stats.

Gamer's mind
Gamer's body
'Wait, gamer mind and body, I didn't pick those, must have come with the gamer ability, let's see what they do,' I think to myself upon seeing the two perks.
Gamer's mind- People with this ability are immune from going insane as a result of stressful situations. They will, however, still feel the same amount of discomfort. It's also used to be able to think calmly in dangerous situations in order to survive better. The user will go through any emotional trauma afterward if something traumatic happens, however.
'so I can't go insane, that's good. I also think it's good that I go through the trauma if there is any. If I didn't, I would probably question my humanity. That makes sense! Because when you're in a game and are in combat, you focus on surviving the fight first, and what happens afterward second. (when you lose your favorite follower for the first time is basically what I am saying, kind of like nuzlockes)
Gamer's body- You still lose hp, but you won't be physically harmed and still feel the pain
'It seems my hp is calculated by con+str*1.5, and my mp is int+wis*2.5, the .5 might come from my level' 'I wonder what my mp regen is'
"*ding*" "+1 int for figuring out how part of your stats is calculated."
Well, let's get my adventure started… is what I was thinking when a bright light showed up out of nowhere. Blinding me long enough for my scenery to change around me. I am standing in a clearing, in the forest. I hear what I can only guess are Pokémon rustling, and running from me suddenly showing up. 'God my eyes hurt from that light.' It takes 10 seconds before they stop hurting. 'Must be from Logan's loophole. My mp is down by 5, that must mean mp cost is about 0.5 per second, or maybe it is because of how much damage my eyes took. If that's it, then that is the reason why Logan's loophole information didn't say how much mp drain it takes to heal!'
"Hey, you're a human. What are you doing so deep in the forest without a partner of some type?" A somewhat eerie voice said in an ominous voice as if it came from a ghost. I turned slowly to where I thought the voice was coming from. It was a phantump, and a shiny one to boot.
"Umm yeah about that, kind of not from this world, just got transported here." I say sheepishly rubbing the back of my head
"Wait, you can understand me?" It said surprise seeping into its voice.
"Yeah, I know it's rare for humans to understand pokéspeech. So can you tell me where I currently am"? 'Of course, I could just take out my pokénav, but this will be faster.'
"Yes, you're in Petalburg Woods."
