"Here you have, Ash, your Pokéball and your Pokédex, unfortunately it doesn't have a Rotom, so if you want your Pokédex to become a Rotom Dex, you'll have to find one by yourself" - said the professor.
Then, he gave me 6 Pokéballs and the Pokédex.
"Thank you, professor" – I said with a grateful tone.
"Pika pi!" – Pikachu said.
I didn't understand her, but she probably said the same thing.
"You're welcome, good luck and I hope to see you in the Pokémon League" – smiled the professor.
Professor Oak had a lot of experience, after all he had seen dozens of trainers go on a journey and he could perfectly identify talented trainers and he must recognize that Ash was one of them, he was not quite sure if he would win the Pokémon League or not, after all trainers much more experienced than Ash would participate, but he was clear about one thing, this boy in front of him was destined to do amazing things.
"I'm sure and I'll win it!" – I nodded.
Then Ash left.
"What an energetic boy" – smiled the professor.
…
Outside.
When I went out with Pikachu on my shoulder, the first thing I saw was my mother, who was waiting for me with a pair of sports and a green backpack in her hands.
"Ash!" - my mother exclaimed.
"Mom, look, I got my first Pokémon, I introduce you to Pikachu!" – I exclaimed.
Seeing Pikachu, my mother put her slippers down on the floor and hugged her.
"God, how cute, it's amazing that you were able to get such a cute Pokémon!" – my mother said hugging Pikachu.
Being hugged so suddenly, Pikachu wanted to run away, but seeing Ash's mother's excited expression, she let her hold him a little before returning to her new friend's shoulder.
"By the way, you didn't need to come, anyway, I was going to go home to say goodbye" – I said.
"Are you stupid? Don't you notice that you are missing something?" – my mother asked.
Am I missing anything? I quickly went over my whole body until I realized one thing, all my clothes were messy, I didn't have the backpack I was supposed to carry and I didn't even have shoes!
"It seems amazing that you are 15 years old... Anyway, this journey will be good for you so you can also mature" – my mother said while she ordered my clothes.
She placed my jacket and pants well and then I put on my shoes.
By the way, I realized that, in this world, trainers started their adventure at the age of 15 and not at 10, but it doesn't make much difference to start at 10 or 15, so I wasn't surprised at all to hear about that.
"Don't worry mom, it was just an oversight because I fell asleep" – I said with a smile.
"I hope so, and remember, you should eat everything, also vegetables, I know you don't like them but they are healthy and be careful, Pikachu, you also have to take care of Ash, did you understand?" – my mother said.
"Pika pi!" – Pikachu nodded.
"Ehem, thank you very much mom, now I'll go, see you soon" – I said.
"Goodbye and don't worry, I've brought you enough food for both of you, but once you get to Pewter City, you'll have to replenish supplies, plus I also put a tent for you in case you have to camp outdoors!" – Ash's mother said as she watched him walk away.
"Yes!" – I nodded.
And then, he disappeared from his mother's sight.
"I hope it goes well..., mmm, I think I should call Spencer to see how she is, it's been a while since his wife disappeared and still nothing is heard from her" – said his mother.
And then, she went home.
…
Route 1.
Pikachu and I were walking along the road quietly.
We were walking for a long time, but since I was not used to walking, after walking 2 hours, my feet hurt a lot.
"Pikachu, we'll stop for a while to rest, what do you think if we eat something in the meantime?" – I asked.
"Pika pi!" – Pikachu nodded.
Then I opened my backpack and saw that there were about 6 sandwich wrapped in silver foil and 4 bags of food for Pokémon, as well as a small plate for her to eat.
I took out the plate and made some food for Pikachu, who immediately started eating.
System, take advantage now that Pikachu is eating to give me the beginner's pack.
[Ok, the beginner pack has been opened, you have obtained, 5 Potions, 2 Superball, 1 Light Ball and a Pokémon Egg (Unique)!]
Oh, not bad, but first I'll equip the item to Pikachu, then I'll check the egg.
I opened my team tab where I could see that a small figure of a Pikachu jumped, just like in the video games, so I simply clicked on Pikachu showing two tabs, the first one said "Summary" and the second "Move reminder"
Since I already knew it was both, I clicked on the first one making the Pikachu status come out.
The interface I could see was similar to that of video games, only that in this one it showed me all the data of the Pokémon divided into 3 tabs, the first showed the statistics and nature, the second the movements of the Pokémon and the third its Ivs and Evs.
But first I'll start with the first tab, but not only because it was the first one, but also because the nature that was shown was not any of the ones I knew, the nature of this Pikachu is shown as "Variable"
System, what is this nature? I never heard of a nature like this.
[Answering the host, all of Ash's Pikachu have this nature no matter the dimension, this nature changes the nature of the Pikachu as needed, for example, if you face a Pokémon with a lot of defense, your Pikachu's nature will become Modest, etc. I won't explain it further because it's simple to understand]
Oh my God, then it's no wonder Ash's Pikachu was so broken, apparently she changes nature depending on the type of Pokémon she faces! Can this Pikachu be more OP?
I looked at her stats and if I remember correctly, her stats are far superior to that of a normal Pikachu, all of them.
Oh my God, no wonder this Pikachu was so strong.
Their moves were the same as those of a Pikachu, Thunder Shock, Quick Attack, and Double Team.
His Ivs were all maxed out, all at 31, while he lacked Evs, while the only thing I missed was that there was no level.
[In the real world, Pokémon do not have levels like in the video game]
That was the system's answer, but I guess it's fine, I don't care much about the level.
Once I saw Pikachu's stats, I took the egg out of my backpack and almost screamed at what I saw.
The egg in my hands was an egg that everyone would have recognized at a glance, it was completely blue with a red sphere in the middle and small yellow spheres surrounding the red one, it was clearly the egg of a Manaphy, a Mythical Pokémon.
System, do you realize the egg you just gave me?
[Yes, it's a gift from the being who created me for you, however, don't get your hopes up, because that's his last gift to you, if you want more Mythical Pokémon... you'll have to catch them by yourself]
It works for me!
I wanted to continue talking to the system, but suddenly, Pikachu who had finished eating, came over and looked at the egg curiously.
"Pika pi?" – Pikachu asked.
It seemed like she wanted to tell me, where did you get that egg?
"It was in my backpack, maybe my mother found it and gave it to me, no idea" – I said shrugging my shoulders.
Anyway, even if I told her the truth, I don't think she understood what a system is.
