Day 2
You remember how confident I was in becoming an Gyarados? Well that dream died along with the Magikarps that were just eaten by the giant Croconaw before us. Now I don't claim to be an Pokemon expert but I'm pretty sure an Croconaw shouldn't be 10 feet high nor should he have the stomach capacity to eat over twenty Magikarps with an average weight of 15 pounds, even newborn we are already nearly 2 feet high and 1 wide.
No, bad giant crocodile! Don't look at me with those malicious eyes! Dammit how can it even see me with all this blood in the water? I can only turn around and swim as fast as possible towards the gap in the stonefloor in which my egg was laid. Had I an rotable neck I would turn around to see if the Croconaw was still chasing me or if he had decided the other magikarps looked tastier. The crunch of bone being broken answered my question. I breathed out in relief and managed to get to the gap undamaged. Inside the gap I finally gathered the courage to turn around. The sight greeting me froze the blood in my veins.
Where before 80 magikarps and an croconaw swam was now the pure chaos, the blood had attracted an swarm of carvanhas. Which immediately attacked the remaining magikarps and the single croconaw. Blood stained the water and I could only watch in pure fear and panic as the croconaw managed to kill ten carvanhas before succumbing to his wounds and being ripped apart by the rest of the swarm. I could only hope that the blood and flesh in the water distracted them from the single magikarp hiding in an gap in the seafloor. After seeing the swarm finish their massacre and leaving after eating their fill I could only stare in pure shock, realising that the pokemon world may not be the happy little world I imagined. At last I succumbed to mental exhaustion and drifted off to an fitful and restless sleep filled with blood and cries of 'Karp'.
Day 3
After waking up, I decided to check up on the message from before. I don't know if the game is like the Gamer fics and turned my life in an RPG or if it was only like the Pokemon game and told me my stats and level. I only hope that I ain't restricted to only 4 moves. With that in mind I think conciously 'Status Page'.

I could only grin(or try to) at seeing these awesome perks. The perks were nearly the perfect setup for an Tank with their immunities and the eating/absorption perks counteracted the {Brain of an Magikarp} nicely or at least the skill part. But would I have to eat four times as much only to gain the same skill? Well no sense moping around. I should start training my Swimming skill and create some Resistance Skills.
And so I succumb to the sleep dreaming of an all powerful Gyarados rampaging in the sea.
