I don't own Pokemon or any Character inside this non Profit Fanfiction.
/ Chapter 1
Welcome to Pokemon The Game!
[Would you like to create a character?]
Yes or No
It finally happened. All the games I played made me lose my mind. Mom warned me this would happen if I wasted my time playing video games instead of learning to be a trainer. And of course it had to have to happen just a few days before I start my journey.
I was surrounded by a black void all around me. Nothing as far I can see except this blue window that doesn't leave my view.
"Well looks like I have no choice" I grumbled before pressing the Yes button.
[Are you a Girl or a Boy?]
[Girl] [Boy]
"I'm obviously a girl, can't you see it" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes. Seriously what kind of question is that? Can't it see that I'm a boy?
[Enter Your Name]
I simply put my own name in, no point in wasting time.
[Ash Ketchum]
[Please choose your Type]
"Type?" I questioned, prompting a new window to open.
[ A type determines what your strengths and weaknesses are. Example being Fire being strong against Grass type but weak against Water type. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses.]
'Well since I'm already at whatever this is I might think it out until I wake up from this dream. Since this is called Pokemon the Game it might very well be based on pokemon types. While it might be cool to be a dragon type, normal pokemon seem to be the most versatile of all.' I thought before selecting the normal type.
[Please choose your Ability]
"What the hell are abilities?" I thought out loud. Sure I know what types were since they were covered in trainer school but abilities?
[Abilities are mechanics that provide passive effects in battle or outside of it. You can only ever have 1 ability so choose wisely]
'I should probably read up what those abilities are'
Looking through the abilities I found many great effects and many downright terrible ones. Sure there were Abilities like [Wonder Guard] protecting you against everything not super effective, sure it had the downside of locking your HP at 1 but still far better than abilities like [Slow Start] or [Truant]. After considering my choices I decided to take the [Protean] ability to go with my type choice.
[Character Creation Complete. Have fun in your journey!]
[Start game in 5…4…3…2…1.. Go!]
With that I woke up in my bed.
[Quest Alert: Tutorial]
[Every journey starts with the first step. Yours starts with learning how the system works.]
[Quest objective: Complete the Tutorial]
[Reward: 100 Exp, 400 Pk$]
[Failure: Can't be Failed]
"Ooooookey. Looks like I'm still sleeping." I said in a unfamiliar high voice, instantly losing color in my face hoping it isn't what I fear.
I run to the bathroom and looked at the mirror. I wore my green pyjama's with voltorb motives as I remember. But my body and face changed. My arms and legs got thinner while my chest area got slightly larger. My face is rounder than in remember and my hair longer.
"Oh no…" I realized that my sarcastic remark screwed me over. Unable to stand, I fall down on my butt.
"Sweety is everything alright?" Asked my mother, Delia Ketchum before entering the bath.
Delia Ketchum Lvl 3. 17/17
"Ash?" She asked me blinking at me, not having expected to find a young girl wearing her sons pyjama.
"Yes mom." I said almost crying.
It took me almost an hour to calm down and explain my mom what happened to me. Since neither of us know what to do, we decided to visit Professor Oak, hoping for the best. It took us only 20 minutes to reach his Laboratory on the hills of Pallet Town. Entering the Laboratory, one of the assistants send us to the Professor.
Samuel Oak Lvl 17. 42/42
"Ah, Nice seeing you Delia, so who is this young girl here?" He asked at us.
"Well professor, let's find somewhere to sit first. This might take a while." Said my mother
" Of course dear, Please follow me then." Said the prof. Oak.
We followed him to his private Quarters and sat down on the couch where I begun to tell him what happened.
"And then we come here after I finally calmed down" I finished telling the story.
"Well this truly is a strange event, no doubt about it. I never heard of anything like this before. I'm sorry to say this but there is little I can do to help you with." He said to me
"Please Professor! There has to be something you can do!" I pleaded to him, having no other hope.
"I really have no idea what to do here. You said you had a "quest" I think. Maybe it can give you a hint on what to do." He said thinking about the event.
"Ok, I will try. It says I have to finish the Tutorial here."
[Tutorial: Please select a Category]
[Status Page]
[Pokemon]
[Inventory]
[Quests]
I selected the [Status Page] opening a new windows. I told Both Mom and Prof. Oak what's written.
[Status Page: Displays all relevant information about the player such as Stats, Ability, Type, Moves ETC. To open the Status Page say "Open Status".]
"Open Status" I said following the instruction.

S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
[Observe: Allows Player to observe and analyze Pokemon, Humans or items]
"Fascinating, it looks like this Gamer ability allows you to learn pokemon moves, at least some of them. Please continue. I'm interested in the rest of the tutorial." Said Prof. Oak thinking about the implication.
[Pokemon: Shows you're the status of all pokemon in your party. Currently you do not posses any pokemon. To open the Pokemon Tab say "Open Pokemon".]
"Well it's a bit early, but considering the issue we might make an exception and let you choose a pokemon now." Said the Professor walking to the laboratory.
A few minutes later he was back and released 3 pokemon in front of me.
"They just hatched a few days ago. Well Ash, which one do you choose to start your adventure"
There were the classic Kanto Starter pokemon. Squirtle a water pokemon, Bulbasaur the Grass Pokemon and Charmander the Fire Pokemon.
[Squirtle level 1]
[Bulbasaur level 1]
[Charmander level 1]
"Wow! You all look great. Too bad I can't choose all three of you. I want Squirtle, professor." I answered him. Having made my choice for some time already.
"A good choice Ashe, please take care of him" He said as he handed me Squirtle.
[Congratulation! You Received Squirtle the Tiny Turtle Pokemon!]
[Would you like to give Squirtle a nickname?]
I called out Squirtle from his pokeball.
"Hey Squirtle, would you like a nickname?" I asked the small pokemon
'Nah. It's ok. Your human names are weird' said a small voice
"Did you just speak?" I asked
'Ya can hear me Boss? ' asked Squirtle tilting his head to the side.
"Well this is unexpected, You are truly full of suprises, Ash. I know of some pokemon that can talk to humans but this is the first time I saw a human understanding pokemon language" Said Prof. Oak
"Open Pokemon"
I opened the Pokemon Page again to find a new entry there. A small cartoonish depiction of Squirtle was now on this page. Clicking on it a new page appeared.
[Pokemon]

"It seems your ability allows you to see more information than even we know of. Especially the part about their abilities are hardly known to us." Said thinking about the possible advances pokemon research might bring
I continued to the next point, while interesting there was nothing to help me turn back into a boy.
[Inventory: Your Personal Hammer space. You can store an unlimited amount of items. To open inventory tab say "Open Inventory".]
[Note: Living beings cannot be put in the inventory including Pokemon Eggs and Full Pokeballs.]
"Interesting, here try to put this into your inventory" Said as he handed me a packet.
[You received Following items: Pokedex, Pokeball x10, Parlyz Heal, Burn Heal, Awakening, Potion x5]
[You unlocked Feature Pokedex]
The packet with everything included disappeared and appeared on my inventory screen, to take something out I simply had to think of it and grab inside my pocket or directly through the Air.
"Oh my, looks like you won't need a new bag after all. " Said my mother seeing me use the inventory.
"I wouldn't say that Delia dear. Seeing him pull things from nothing might create some unwanted questions. Better have him have a bag if only to pretend taking things out of it." Countered the professor.
"Were almost done, only [Quest] page left" I said
[Quests: Quests are Prescribed tasks with clear objectives. Quest rewards range from simple experience, money, items or even Pokemon. To open Quest Tab say "Open Quests".]
[Quest Alert: Tutorial Complete!]
You receive 100 Exp! You receive 400 P$
Leveled Up!
+2 HP
You are now Level 2!
You Receive 5 Stat Points!
"I just leveled Up and got some money!" I told them
"Level up? Money?" Asked me the Professor.
"Leveling up in games means getting stronger, you get levels by fighting monster or by doing quests like in my case. The quest I had rewarded me with some money and enough Experience to level up twice. It rewarded my with some extra HP and 5 status points per level" I explained to them.
The professor nodded at my explanation while mom looked confused.
"Well looks like there isn't anything to do anymore today. You might just as well start your journey tomorrow. I will update your pokedex to identify you. For now you should rest. Maybe tomorrow you will change back." He said to me.
Both me and mom stood up and said goodbye to the professor and made it our way home. I simply laid on my back and drifted to sleep.
[You are well rested. You and your team are fully healed]
I woke up early the next day feeling something hard pressing on my chest. Squirtle was on top of me sleeping inside his shell. I put him down on the bed and made my way into the kitchen. Mom was already there preparing breakfast for us.
"Good morning dear. Did you sleep well?" She asked me with a smile.
"As well as I could considering the circumstances."
"I see… After the breakfast we have to talk before you go to " She told me, somehow giving me a bad feeling for some reason.
Once breakfast was ready I got up and woke up Squirtle. We had a simple breakfast with rice and cooked Magicarp while Squirtle ate some pokeblocks made from Kelpsy Berries. Once finished I followed mom to the living room.
"Well dear, I never thought I would have to talk about this with you…" She said nervously.
The next hour was spend in a living nightmare. It was already bad enough when he got THE TALK the first time by my uncle. But getting it a second time from my mother was somehow far worse. I swear I will never be sarcastic again!
After an agonizing hour I made my way to the Lab. Once there an assistant send me directly to Prof. Oak.
"Hello Ash. I hope you had a good rest." He greeted me behind his desk.
"As good as possible considering the circumstances" I said still twitching from the after effect of the talk.
"Well I can't say I understand what you are going through, I can only imagine. I finished updating your Pokedex." He said handing it over to me
"Well Ash, I have something to ask of you. Your ability is one of a kind, it gives you information of your pokemon that we have no access to." He told me.
"I made some non standard upgrades on your pokedex to help us with research. It allows you to add data on it such as pokemon abilities. It also allows you to switch pokemon without visiting a pokemon center." He told me.
"I want you to catch as many different pokemon as possible and add information about them into the data bank. In turn we will take care of the pokemon you catch and reimburse all pokeball's you use in your journey." He told me in a stern voice.
'Doesn't look like I have much choice, to expected. He is a pokemon researcher and this ability would be a dream for him' I though
"I will do my best Professor!"
[Quest Alert: Gotta Catch'em All]
[You have the ability to advance pokemon research by decades.]
[Objective 1: Complete Kanto Pokedex]
[Objective 2: Complete Johto Pokedex]
[Objective 3: Complete Hoen Pokedex]
[Objective 4: Complete Sinnoh Pokedex]
[Objective 5: Complete Unova Pokedex]
[Objective 6: Complete Kalos Pokedex]
…..
[Note: Completion excludes Legendary pokemon]
[Reward: Pokemon Professor title, 1 000 000 P$ per objective completed.]
[Bonus Reward 1: Pokemon Ranch once 100 different pokemon are caught]
[Bonus Reward 2: Special Area Unlocked for every legendary pokemon caught]
[Failure: N/a]
"I just received a quest to catch them all Professor." I told him, looking over the big windows. Just how many regions and pokemon are there?
"Looks like this Gamer thing agrees with me. I hope you will make us all proud and reveal many discoveries." He said with a smile.
"Now Ash, it's time for you to start your journey. I wish you best of luck."
"Thank you Professor. I won't disappoint you!" I told him making a victory sign.
I made my way towards the north of Pallet Town entering Route 1. It only took a few minutes to meet our first opponent.
[Rattata Lvl.2]
"Let's go Squirtle, our first fight!" I said as I throw Squirtles ball.
'Let's show this Rat who's the boss' said Squirtle getting ready
The Rattata saw us and immediately started waving his tail, [Tail Whip] I said to myself.
"Don't stand still Squirtle! Start this fight with a [Tackle]!"
'Aye Boss' Yelled Squirtle as he charged the young Rattata with a [Tackle] hitting it directly.
"Rataaaaa" whined the Rattata as his front tooth took a dark shine and jumped at Squirtle.
"DODGE Squirtle, that's a [Bite] Attack!" I yelled at Squirtle.
Squirtle tried to dodge to the right but was too late. Ratatta was able to bite into Squirtle's arm and doing a critical strike.
'AaaH!' Yelled Squirtle in pain trying to shake the Rattata off.
"Use [Brine] Squirtle!" I Yelled
Squirtle immediately started shooting Salt water at the Rattata from point blank. The Rattata was thrown off to the side. It was barely standing at this point. I took out a pokeball and throw it at the Rattata. The pokeball hit and absorbed the mouse pokemon, starting to shake until the light in the center turned red showing a successful capture.
[Congratulation! You Caught Rattata the Mouse Pokemon!]
[Would you like to give Rattata a nickname?]
[You Received 16 Experience]
[Squirtle Received 36 Experience]
[Squirtle is now Level 3]
"Good job Squirtle" I congratulated him while healing him with a potion.
I decided not to name the Rattata and look at my pokemon Stats.
Name: Squirtle

I called out both my pokemon and introduced myself and Squirtle to Rattatta.
"Hello Rattata, I'm Ash Ketchum and this is Squirtle. Welcome to our little team" I greeted the little Rattata stretching my hand towards him.
'Yo I'm Squirtle, great fight we had there.' Said Squirtle grinning at him.
Rattata slowly come towards my hand, after sniffing at it twice she talked to us.
'H…hello, nice to meet you' she said in a quite voice.
"It's nice to meet you to Rattata" I said to her.
'Yu…You can understand me?' she asked with wide eyes'
"Yes I can, because of … circumstances I'm now able to understand pokemon. I hope we can be great friends." I told her.
After healing both of them I made my way towards Viridian City. On the way I avoided a Spearow swarm since they are known to attack anyone that disturbs them. Most other pokemon around Pallet town are rather docile. Shortly before reaching the city I come across a wild Pidgey.
[Pidgey lvl 4]
"Are you ready Squirtle?" I asked my starter.
'Are ya sure boss? Dis Pidgey looks stronger than us.' He asked me.
"Don't worry we can win this" I assured him
'Aye!' He yelled as he got ready.
"Start it with a [Brine] attack" I said watching the Pidgey
Pidgey saw the attack coming and dodged by flying up, once out of danger he speed up towards Squirtle glowing white.
Squirtle dodged the [Tackle] and countered with his own. Pidgey immediately got up and made sure to fly over us. It periodically speed down trying to hit Squirtle and go up again without being hit. Squirtle got hit 2 more times like this. Seeing that we need to do something I changed my strategy.
"Squirtle, charge up [Brine], once Pidgey is near you attack" I commanded Squirtle.
Soon after Pidgey started speeding towards Squirtle. I yelled my command to attack as Pidgey was right in front of him. Both pokemon were hit by each other's attacks. Pidgey was wet from the [Brine] attack, Squirtle on the other hand was thrown to the side and fainted.
"Good job squirtle, come back. Now it's your turn Rattata!" I recalled squirtle and throw Rattata's pokeball.
'Ummm' said Rattata nervously.
"Don't worry Rattata! Pidgey is almost down. Finish it with [Bite]!"
'Y..Yes!" Said Rattata as it charged towards the Pidgey with dark glowing teeth.
Pidgey tried to fly but was unable since her feathers were wet. Unable to dodge she was hit by Rattata's [Bite]. The result was clear, Pidgey was unable to endure and fainted from the attack. I throw my pokeball and caught it.
[Congratulation! You Caught Pidgey the tiny bird Pokemon!]
[Would you like to give Pidgey a nickname?]
[You Received 18 Experience]
[Squirtle Received 18 Experience]
[Rattata Received 18 Experience]
"I know I could count on you Rattata, good job" I praised her.
'T..thanks…' She smiled shyly.
"Now let's see what we got over here" I said looking at Pidgeys Data.
Name: Pidgey
Gender: Female
Type: Normal/Flying
Level 4
Status: Fainted
HP: 0/17
Attack: 9
Defense: 9
Special Attack: 8
Special Defense: 8
Speed: 9
Ability: Keen Eye [Prevents loss of Accuracy]

After checking over both Squirtle and Pidgey I made my way towards Viridian City Pokecenter. I handed my pokemon over to Nurse Joy and made my way into my room. I entered the gathered information about [Torrent],[Guts] and [Keen Eye]. After finishing my report I laid down and sleept. Walking from Pallet town to Viridian City in a single day was exhausting.
/Author Note:
A Gamer Pokemon Fanfiction. I don't think I found anything similar yet. This will be a Custom Story loosely following the pokemon games. I will write this story while playing the games, my ingame party will be part of the story. Will Ash win the pokemon League? Depends if I beat the league ingame on my first try. Most wild encounter and trainer encounter will be ignored. Only GYM and event battles will be written down. So yeah, Gary will appear. So will the legendaries.
They can be catched, but again. It depends if I catch it ingame on my first try. If I accidently kill it ingame, I won't be able to catch it in the story. This also includes entering post game zones. If I don't win the pokemon league I'm unable to enter Mount Silver or MewTwo's cave.
Some notable changes from the games will be the lack of Trade evolution and TM's will not be Single use items.
Example of that would be that Kadabra evolves into Alakazam at level 50 instead of evolving after trading. Other Pokemon will follow similar course.
Ash will meet his companions like in the Anime, of course not knowing he is actually male will cause some embracing moments for him.
/Edit: For some reason parts of the story disappeared or turned unreadable. I deleted and reuploaded the first chapter.
