Notes:-

This will be the first story I've written, I decided to do a Pokemon self-insert. there are a surprising number of good Pokemon fanfics but only a few self-inserts that are both well written and long enough.

I confess to taking some inspiration from the fanfiction I just want to travel the world by banix for the world-building and The traveller by the straight elf for a couple of Pokemon choices.

Prologue

I died. There are no two ways about it but then I apparently got better not by choice mind you just got better.

No I didn't wake up and go out my day. that doesn't happen when you are hit by a speeding truck that ran a red light.

I appeared in a void, completely empty or maybe it was my dying mind conjurig up hallucinations.

"No, it's not a hallucination, yes your soul, essence and everything that makes you are really here, your body just finished dying." a voice reverberates coming from the room itself.

"I am here to make you an offer you cannot refuse. and when I say you can't I mean you don't have the option of refusing."

Well, I had two options here panic and whine or listen to the goddamn offer before reacting.

"I'm listening" I reply.

"I like how you made it sound like you had an option of not listening, but I digress here is the offer. I have well let's call it god-like powers. Every now and then I chose a few people like yourself to replay the game called life."

"I choose people who I am confident can take the stress of being reborn, into a world they previously thought of as fiction. and survive in a higher tiered world than their original."

"A few question, " I ask.

"Ask away," the entity replied.

"Firstly you told me people like me, what do you mean by that?"

"Well, you are educated enough by your world's standards. you were a part of your nations armed forces Mr Frye and as such can defend yourself if need be. and while you have read a lot of fiction watched anime and other fictional works your life didn't revolve around them so you don't have the storylines all memorized."

"Good enough I suppose, and I assume I am to entertain you in this world?"

"Yes, simply put I will not interfere once you are born in that world, you have no obligations to try to be entertaining as such, but you will be reborn but, I'm not entirely an let's call it asshole I think the humans call it. so I give you a few choices."

"what choices?" I ask.

"These, you get to choose a fictional world I deem you have enough knowledge about, but not too much. you get to choose which one person from the said world you replace. you get one previously documented power from the said world, but you won't be the strongest wielder of said power in any manner. and you get one item from your world that I can lets call it to supercharge for your use."

"All fair. I assume I can't ask to be able to travel to multiple worlds?"

"No, I know some like m that do that but I'm not a fan of jump chains and the like. I send my choices to a single world for them to live and die. nothing more. a jump chain becomes boring after the first couple worlds as the choices become overpowered and just brute force their way through the worlds they visit."

"Acceptable enough it will take me some time to make my choices" I answer. it was not like I had the option of denying this offer, might as well choose to go where I want to and who I want to be.

"Time is all you have right now Mr Frye. take as much as you need a millennium could pass in here and it would be to me what a nanosecond would be to you."

That gives me an idea about the scale of this entity. but for now choices, choices.

A couple of hours later, "I have made my choices." I say feeling stupid talking to an empty room.

"Go ahead, first tell me which world you intend to go to. and give me your justification."

"Well, the anime world of Pokemon is my choice. As for my justification, well while I do know a lot about the Pokemon themselves because I found them interesting I didn't quite watch the anime religiously when I was younger. So I know enough but not too much, and in all honesty who would say no to having a cute little monster?"

"Fair, now go ahead with your choice of replacement and power wish."

"Well, I would like to replace the main character Ash Ketchum if possible. and I wish to have psychic powers. Not incredibly powerful or anything, Enough to lift around one hundred kilograms and enough to be able to communicate with any pokemon I might catch and enough to defend my mind against other psychics both Pokemon and human."

"All acceptable. Any knowledge of you being reincarnated, future knowledge from your previous life will be hidden to any and all trying to read your mind. A generous gift from me lets call it."

"Thank you, and for the item, I want a black hard coat anodised, Magnum research desert eagle .50 cal, with unlimited bullets that vanish three minutes after being fired, that will stay in pristine condition forever, that will stay completely undetectable by any means to any I do not explicitly show it to with a special passphrase and be completely silent"

"Acceptable enough, it's not like the gun will hurt any pokemon that has evolved even once and even some unevolved pokemon. This knowledge will also be hidden from on your mind.tell me the passphrase now." the entity asks

"Delta charlie omega dash 997 lambda, I want to show you my Desert Eagle .50 Cal," I say confidently.

"Now I wish to inform you of two things one, these memories will be locked in your mind till you turn five. And your psychic powers will manifest themselves when you are around six to seven years old."

"And, the second being you are not the only one I just chose. Mind you, you will never meet the others but out of three dozen participants this century, nine of them are alternate versions of you who have simultaneously chosen completely different worlds, the only consistency is that the item was always the same handgun. Different properties of course but the same model."

"One of your alternates chose the Percy Jackson world, the second chose Harry Potter, the third chose the web series RWBY, the fourth went to the elder scrolls universe, the fifth went to Mass Effect, the sixth to Star Wars, the seventh went to Game of thrones the eighth to the wonderful world of High School Dxd, I assume he is the pervert in this group and you have chosen the world of Pokemon.

"Considering that there is an infinite number of worlds that isn't really surprising but all nine of you choosing different worlds is unusual. when the same world is chosen I send them off to different universes that are the same except for minute differences."

"Always did like to do things differently. anyway beam me up entity send me to a new life." and I blackout and Maxwell Frye lives no longer.

Chapter 1

I woke up in a three and a half feet tall body in a room filled to the brim with Pokeball designs. guess I am now Ash Ketchum.

Now, most people in this particular scenario would they to get a leg up on the future competition. I on the other am gonna chill for some time.

It took me two months worth of secret searching before I got enough info that isn't normally available to five-year-olds. that of the government structure. The reason it took so long is mostly that it's not like I could go up to my mommy as I still called her and ask her to give me a functioning overview of the government in the region.

Firstly I found what currency was used. It was something called poké credits or credits for short, worth about the same as a dollar was in my previous life.

Second I have a guess about my father. he's dead I think. There are two ridiculously powerful Pokemon in my house at all time, or at least I think they are powerful. An elecitivire and an arcanine. Mom did have half a dozen Pokemon of her own but they were less powerful than those two.

My mom Delia Ketchum had an Espeon, a Mr Mime, a Gardevoir, an Umbroeon, a Tailow and a beautiful nine tails. they were around the house all the time. In fact, my moms ninetails was the first pokemon I remember seeing. she was a true beauty. But I digress further information will have to wait for some more time.

5 years later:-

Today was my tenth birthday. I had learned a lot from my mother and Professor Oak in the past couple of years. when I was eight my mom told me about my father after I kept badgering her for days on end.

My father was a League operative. an Elite League Trainer to be precise. League trainers we're trainers employed by the league as an answer to various issues and problems. Law enforcement like officer Jenny's dealt with crimes affecting humans, The ranger force dealt with times affecting Pokemon such as poachers, pokemon abuse etc. The League Trainer Forces dealt with crimes affecting both or crimes the local rangers or Officers couldn't handle.

On one such mission where poachers decided to attack a Tyranitar den on Mount Silver to poach the recently laid Larvitar eggs, the Tyranitar went into rage riling up nearly every Pokemon in the mountain that turned into a shitshow. nearly a hundred trainers and rangers lost their lives that day along with the poachers themselves.

My dad Blake 'Silver' Ketchum along with nearly his entire team of twenty-four Pokemon died when I was four. the only reason Arcee and Wire (that was my baby talk for Arcanine and Elecitivire that stuck) survived was that they were both female and where mating with other Pokemon on Professor Oaks ranch.

Arcee and Wire felt really guilty about not being there for Dad when he died. Dad had raised the Two of them from eggs and they thought of him as their father. and moped for nearly three years after his death. It was four months before my seventh birthday that they finally snapped out of it. funnily enough, it was also the day when I unlocked my Psychic powers.

That day I was playing with a baby Pokemon in Professor Oaks lab. where my mother worked as an assistant and a Pokemon breeder. she was a league recognised breeder and worked with Professor Oak in his research on baby pokemon and breeding batches of starter Pokemon, she also helped with the care of the hundreds of Pokemon belonging to trainers that were left here from time to time.

I was playing with this baby rattata when a Spearow from the neighbouring forest swooped in, picked up the baby and tried to make off with it. I cried out in surprise and reached out my hands to stop it from flying off but it was already at a distance before it was suddenly enclosed in blue light and froze, letting go of the baby rattata which I dived to catch.

Before all this finished happening Arcee appeared in a burst of speed and pounced on the Spearow thinking it was trying to hurt me and knocked it out cold. when I told My mom who was with Arcee when she shot off what had happened Professor Oak informed us that I apparently had Psychic powers and that I had awoken them.

He called his champion-level Alakazam to confirm his theory about my powers and Alakazam did indeed confirm it. After that for the next couple of years, Arcee or Wire were always within twenty meter radius from me. They felt that since I was thier fathers son. I was the baby brother and had to be taken care of. Their loyalty was awe inspiring.

My powers were also the reason why I never went to school and was homeschooled by my mother and Professor Oak when he had time. Once unlocked they had the tendency to react violently to my emotions and unlike Pokemon people could not shake off the after effects.

Because of the attention, I got from his grandfather Gary Oak did indeed turn out to be a giant dick. Well as giant a dick as an eleven-year-old can be at least. The word Freak was often used in my description I believe.

The gun appeared in my room just this morning, I assume for safeties sake. It came with a shoulder holster that was also invisible. I got dressed, left the gun there and walked down to meet my mother and my family pokemon who immediately piled on me to wish me a happy birthday, only my mother, Arcee and Wire hung back.

After a delicious breakfast cooked by Mom and Mimey. we got to the good stuff, presents. Mom gave me a box and an envelope. which I immediately opened.

The box held a Mobile phone-like device. and a miniature Solar panel.

"That Ash is a pokénav straight from Hoenn where your father started his journey along with me and my coordination contests. It functions as a video caller and when you go on your journey in four years time you can link it to your Pokedex as well." mom says

"I love it mom, thank you very much," I reply. I open the envelope next and there was a certificate that allowed me to own two Pokemon.

"This certificate signifies that you are allowed to own a maximum of two pokemon from now until your fourteenth birthday when you can start your journey."

By the way apparently around thirty-five years ago when Professor oak was a trainer he beat the Indigo league the Elite Four and the champion of the time. He resigned after around three months in the post when he had achieved what he set out to do. Increasing the minimum age for a Pokemon journey from ten to fourteen. because of four hundred Trainers who started that year only one hundred and seventy were still alive by the time the Indigo Conference Rolled around.

After taking a look at those statistics the regions of Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kalos, Galar and Alola followed suit within a year Unova soon followed suit the following year. Oak quit as champion the minute that Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh changed the Minimum age and retired to Pallet town to start his research.

"Thanks, mom, but how am I going to catch any pokemon?"

"Well that what Arcee and Wire are here for." as she said that wire held out two eggs in his hands for me to take.

I literally recoil at that and ask mom, "are those Arcee and Wires eggs?"

"Yes, indeed they are. They told me they wanted their children to take care of their baby brother in the future when he goes off on his own journey." mom replied.

The second she finished talking I pounced on both Arcee and Wire and gave them the strongest hug a ten-year-old could possibly give.

"thank you, both of you, I promise to take as good care as I possibly can do the little ones"

"They know little one, that is why they have granted you their offspring to raise." a voice rang inside my head, my mom's gardevoir and my psychic teacher's voice to be precise. She always called me little one and was actually my baby sitter when I was younger.

"Thank you Gardie, let them know won't you?"

"Of course I will little one" she replies.

Since I awakened my psychic powers Gardie along with Professor Oak's alakazam have taught me how to use them. I'm still not strong enough to start conversations but I can continue them within my mind and can lift up to twelve kilograms easily.

I spent most of the day getting an incubator for the eggs and a carrier to carry them around in, and spent it in the company of my family Pokemon. when I went to the lab professor Oak also gave me two Cherish balls made of Apricorn to catch Growlithe and Elekid in as a gift.

The day went well. I also asked Professor Oak if he could start teaching me about Pokemon as I intended to take care of my eggs and start my journey the day I turned fourteen.

He told me would but only as long as I could study under him about Pokemon and continue with my primary education till I was twelve as was mandatory.

After that day I spent nearly all my time studying about various things from my school-based education and learn as much as I could about pokemon.

Growlithe and Elekid hatched around three months after My tenth birthday and I started training them when they turned four months of age. it gave me a lot of training in being a breeder like my mother and a trainer like my father.

When I started training Growlithe and Elekid I also Asked Professor Oak to borrow an everstone. Before he gave them to me he asked me why I wanted one which is when I gave him my theory,

"Professor Oak I believe, after observing your own arcanine and the arcanine of another trainer who evolved his Growlithe the minute he received firestone that the growth in strength during evolution increases as the base form of the pokemon gets stronger."

"This is well-known ash, but both arcanine and Electivire need special items or atmospheric conditions to evolve so you needn't worry about them evolving too fast." the professor says.

"True professor, but elekids evolve into Electabuzz the minute they learn more than half a dozen moves or so. I need the everstone to keep him as an elekid until he learns all moves an elekid could learn. and only then will he evolve. I have spoken to him via my mothers gardevoir and he is in agreement with this plan."I reply.

"Well-thought ash, but as is usual for a minor, I will examine the elekid every two weeks to see if the everstone might have any side effects in the future," he replies opening a cabinet and pulling out a pale greyish stone on a necklace which I take and immediately head home.

Notes:-

Well, that's the Prologue and First chapter done. Hope it reads half as well as it sounds in my mind. I changed things up a bit. raised the minimum age for travelling from Ten to Fourteen. there will be more changes later, but for now that's it.

I also intend to shake up gyms and the government up a bit as well. though that will all take place in my next chapter. I will also tweak Shiny and King Pokemon a bit.

Pokemon in my story will be capable of learning all moves from the games that said pokemon can learn, irrelevant of it being a level up move, Tm move Tutor move etc, only Egg moves cannot be taught. Tm's will exist and reduce the training required for any Move to nearly instant.

Learning moves for Pokemon will be especially hard if the element of the move is not the same as that of the pokemon. or if they couldn't learn it via levelling up in the games. level up moves will be sent easily as long as the Pokemon has enough power to use them.

Do comment if you have any suggestions for Pokemon and the like.
