"You know, it's really cool of you to take me with you and all, but uh... You sure we're going the right way?"
The guy that just spoke? That's me. Wile Dradia, awesomest guy around. The guy I'm talking to?
"Don't worry! I'm just taking a little shortcut. Not only will we be there, but we'll be the damn first, or my name ain't Johnny McJonhFace!"
"Your name's Axel."
"Then we'll be late and the last ones there. Oh well! Doesn't matter, does it?"
That's Axel Ailier, one of my best friends. Most would say he's weird, and they'd be right.
"We're literally doing a race, right now. How does it not matter?"

I thought I heard Axel grunt, which is something he doesn't normally do. I don't think paranoia kills, though.
So I asked him, "You said something, Axel?"
"I ain't feeling that good suddenly," he replied. "I feel like I'm burning up..."
He approached a hand to his face, and as I looked at him, I noticed that he did look paler than he ever did.

"I'm really feeling bad right now..." said Axel, as he started whitening more and more.
I gulped. "Just park the car, okay? I'll call an ambulance, and-"
A distant bell chimed, in the distance, and at that moment a flash of light destroyed my eyes. I felt more than I saw the car drift, and hit something on the road.
I didn't feel pain, just something hitting my head. I didn't feel much, really. Blood, flowing freely from my body. The pebbles that littered the road we were on. The heat coming from behind me.
I started feeling less and less, until suddenly-
Nothing.
|| Transfer complete.
|| Send a message to the [8] [character] files?
yes
|| Beginning transfer of informations...
My eyes open, to see nothing but white. White everywhere.
Realising I was laying on the floor, I get up, and look around me. Still, the whole room is nothing but white... And eight guys sleeping on the floor.
I try to approach them, but I can't. When I look at my legs, I see the reason why is quite simple: I have no legs.
... I have no legs. I have no arms, either.
Before I can start to panic however, a booming voice cuts my mind, waking everyone else in the process.
Five guys, three girls; I think I can see Axel, in the distance, but I don't know the others.
"You have been gathered here, to right a wrong that lasted far too long," the voice said, resonating, echoing in the empty void we were in. "Sent to a world not your own, tasked with living a stolen life. It is time you were sent back to where you belong."
The void started shaking, but that didn't stop the voice. "Your world was linked to all others by the medium of fiction. As such, you already know where you'll be sent. As an apology to my failure, I will grant you the Rising Star Ability. Apart from those that rule your new world, you are allowed to chose a legendary pokemon that will bless your future, granting you an edge in this new world. Chose the one that suits you the most."
The shaking of the void didn't stop, but they didn't seem to become worse either. One by one, all the others had an image of a legendary pokemon appearing in front of them. In the distance, I could see Axel, who chose Jirachi. Some other guy kept trying to get a big legendary- I could see Dialga, Palkia, Arceus, and more, shifting again and again, all crossed out- until he settled on Mewtwo.
Guess Mewtwo does count in the "don't rule the world", huh.
My choice was easy. Lately, I took a liking to the tiny legendaries, the mythicals, more than the big ones. And of all of those, Celebi is the one who I like the most. What can I say, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is everyone's childhood?
... But nothing happened. No image appeared in front of me. And as soon as the other eight had chosen, the voice boomed again.
"You have chosen well. Now, get ready; for as a legend's chosen, the rapid growth of your future teammates will only act as a way for you to become this world's protector. Carry your names and titles with pride...
Damian, Chosen of Mewtwo; You shall be known as, The Psychic's Wrath.
Audrey, Chosen of Lugia; You shall be branded, The Divine Rain.
Axel, Chosen of Jirachi; You will travel as, The Wishes' Holder.
Luna, Chosen of Darkrai; All will call you, The Night's Darkness.
Krayn, Chosen of Genesect; Otherwise seen as, The Reawakened.
Ceres, Chosen of Hoopa; People will whisper about you, The Bottled Fury.
Brian, Chosen of Marshadow; You shall be heralded as, The Shadow's Warrior.
Vlad, Chosen of Zacian; You shall be, The Sword Hero."
I waited a bit, before frowning. As the room started glowing, I managed to find my voice. "Yo, and what about me then?"
"Wait, who a-" the voice started, before being cut. And suddenly, darkness took over again.

Author's Footnote:
Alright, step two of being a fanfic writer: start a project when you aren't done with another! I honestly couldn't stop myself from writing this, and then posting. It might help me blow off some steam and write my other fic better.
If you can suffer through me and my dumb ideas, then I welcome you. If you can't... Well, hey I've tried!
And as you should know, do not expect consistent uploads. I'm bad at keeping a schedule.
Anyway, you'll probably be put off by the whole "the universe is a simulation" thing, but, hear me out okay? It doesn't matter in the story. Not one bit. I just write stories as I play other things, and this story's world setting was brought to you by Inscryption's cursed floppy disc. Just assume that's how this world's god sees the world, or something
Anyway, we'll follow 9 protagonists! Just kidding. None of them extras matters. See you in chapter 1.
