I once saw a fic like this back then and it stopped updating. I forgot the name but that fic inspired this one.

Chapter 1

MC Pov

If you had a chance to get reincarnated to a world of your choosing, would you take it?

Hell no! That's my answer.

Living in our own world is already painful and hard, getting a reset to another world would just take away all the efforts you had done in the first life.

Well, that's what I thought as I found myself in Rustboro City of Hoenn as an orphan child in the world of Pokemon.

I don't know how or why I am here but I found myself as a child again. This time as an orphan. One moment, I remember working the same boring job I do everyday and bam! I found myself waking as a 15 year old kid again.

The only thing I saw as a plus in my situation is my new makeover. I still look the same as I was back then but I lost my belly fat (a product of stress eating). I'm back to my dark-haired, brown-skinned teenage years.

But nonetheless, my situation is not ideal. So I just did what I did like all of those years of surviving adulthood.

By rolling through the punches baby.

How hard can it be to live in a kid's show.

I horribly miscalculated.

Remember how Pokemon is a G-rated kid's show and game? This one is not.

Pokemon are not friends.

Let me give you a long history lesson.

Back then, this world was as normal as it gets. Pokemon and mankind live in harmony as both coexisted with one another.

Until the day of the Mad Syndrome.

One day, all Pokemon (both wild and trained) went mad and wrecked havoc, killing people and destroying cities.

The trainers tried to calm their Pokemon but they were killed by their madness induced rampage.

Cities fell down one by one that day. Regions lost contact with one another but it was unnoticeable as they had problems of their own.

What's more worrying are the Champion level Pokemon going on a rampage. Of what little records I could find, Steven's Metagross was a menace as it teleported to city to city and caused as much damage as it could.

By the end of it, Hoenn was crippled region.

Rustboro City only managed to survive due to its bunkers (made by Roxanne and Devon Corporations) but the city was reduced to rubble.

When the survivors came out, they had found all Pokemon had gone to the wilderness. Some trainers tried to find their lost Pokemon.

They died foolishly.

Roxanne, one of the last surviving Gym leaders coordinated Rustboro's last remaining survivors to create a defensive wall as they tried to rebuild the city.

Why did they remain on the surface instead of expanding the bunkers to provide space was lost. Theories suggest that the bunkers built under the city can collapse the entire ruined city on top of them if they expand.

Some suggestions led to the fear of encountering underground pokemon in their natural habitat.

With Roxanne, the walled city of Rustboro City was rebuilt and humanity persevered.

That was 100 years ago.

In that many years, things have changed.

Pokemon became humanity's bane as it was later revealed of what happened to other cities in Hoenn by sending out a scouting party of 30 men.

Only one came back, missing an arm and half blind.

Petalburg City fortunately had survivors and had recovered just Rustboro. Just like them, they had erected walls around the city to keep out most of the feral Pokemon.

Sadly, Littleroot town is nothing more than a desolate ruins.

Dewford was inaccessible due to the Gyarados (Don't Fuck with a Mad Gyarados)

Slateport City was a flooded ruins. The coastal city was clearly subjected to multiple tsunamis.

Mauville City is nothing more than a huge crater taken by the ocean. The old underground powerplant in the city must have exploded.

Verdanturf Town was buried in a rock slide.

Lavaridge was burned to the ground.

And unfortunately that's where their journey ended as it had become too dangerous to go as they are down to the last man.

His arm was lopped off by a Zangoose on the hunt and his eyes were almost blinded by a Gloom's poison.

So the Rustboro City hunkered down and adapted with their hopefully not last sister city.

But problems arose as Pokemon started to enter the walls by various means. Underground, flying over, going through or sneaking through the walls, Pokemons had endless ways of entering the walls and claiming prey.

Yes, humans became prey to the carnivorous branch of Pokemon, particularly Mightyena's and Zangoose.

So reluctantly, people went back to training Pokemon.

It was a bloody affair.

By statistics, in over 10 trainers, only 2 could tame their wild Pokemon while the rest gets killed in their attempts of training said Pokemons.

That's a 20% percentage bitch, 1/5 of a chance of only taming and that's not even a fully tamed one. Pokemon successfully tamed only followed their tamers for food, security and evolution.

Once they evolve, they would kill their tamers or continue to mooch off said tamer until they hit full maturity.

Due to this, no one wants to be a pokemon tamer (the new designation for pokemon trainers) but it is a necessity for the city's survival.

A system was made.

Every year, teens at age 15 until 20 are chosen to that year's new batch of Pokemon tamers.

Over 50 people were selected every year.

The rest who are not chosen in that 5 years are given the chance to join and repopulate the city and replenish its numbers as Pokemon tamer fatalities are at an all time high.

A system upheld even after a hundred years in the future which I found myself in.

Unfortunately, I had the misfortune to be chosen as a tamer.

Fuck.

Chapter end

Kinda have the AOT vibes but with Pokemon which is worse than titans (titans kill you instantly by eaten or stomped on, Pokemon plays and torments people based on some fuck up Pokedex entries)

The hidden backstory to this fic is that a team had fuck up royally by being successful in their plan. Too successful.

Arceus didn't like that, so he made all Pokemon go feral as punishment to humanity.

If this becomes a full time fic, Our MC adventure would be focused on surviving on a Pokemon world filled with man-eating monsters and various terrifying encounters.

Pokemon are terrying if you read the Pokedex entries.

Ditto and Bannette. One is an Among us type situation and the other is a child preying invincible monster.
