"Huaaam"
3 lengthy breaths came out of separate mouths, all at once as Rainer entered the room.
One yawn coming from my father with crippling anger issues, and two sighs of relief coming from me and my beautiful mother, who had her hand rested on her abundant chest as she relaxed her tensed body caused by the foreboding entrance of her own husband.
"Gosh, I'm really sorry Yelena, I genuinely couldn't have had a worse day and to be honest that was the straw that brought the camel down. Thanks for calming me down honey."
Rainer said apologetically, as he walked slowly towards us with a hunched back.
Seriously?? A bad day?!? Ok that's it I'm gonna speak in upper case. ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU NEARLY ABANDONED ME AND YOURE BLAMING IT ON A BAD DAY?!? WAS A BOULDER FALLING ON YOUR HEAD WHAT CAUSED THAT BAD DAY?!? HOW THE HEL-
"It's okay honey, just make sure not to do it again."
IDHDNAHJASJLDHAOSHDBDB WHAAAAT?!? IS THIS AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP?!? HOW THE HELL CAN A MOTHER BE THAT PASSIVE TOWARDS HER HUSBAND?!? I NEARLY JUST GOT ABANDONED BECAUSE OF A BAD DAY!! YOURE A WOMAN JUST GIVE HIM A SLAP OR SOMETHING!!
My mother, seeing me looking at her with a flushed face with fierce eyes and my mouth taking the shape of an oval, started caressing my nearly bald head, further fueling my anger.
"Ah by the way, Yelena, I thought maybe we should change the name of our baby after what happened." Rainer suggested.
"Oh yeah? And to what?" Yelena questioned.
"I was thinking Vormet, because of how I Vor-meted on him when he was born! Get it?"
Ok. I'm about to pass out. Like genuinely.
With a hazy mind, that was quickly falling asleep from the sheer amount of stress I've been going through, I decided to try and stop this calamity.
Shaking my head at maximum output, and stomping my feet on the bed, I tried my absolute hardest to get my idiotic parents (yes, both of them) to take a hint.
At this point I didn't care, torture me, dissect me, I don't care. The former King of Scotland is not going to get such a stupid name, and I'm willing to die on this hill.
Despite all of my efforts, my parents only decided to stare at me and giggle.
And so I passed out, knowing full well that I was going to live the rest of my life having been named based on an unfunny joke my father made.
Kill me now.

4 days later…
"You haven't improved at all, have you Rainer!"
A man with a monocle said, clashing swords with a man in leather clothes in a fury of repetitive but vicious looking swings.
"You can only say that when you've improved, Nero!!"
Around the two delusional idiots who seemed to think that they were being introduced as rivals in some shonen story, shouting out each other's names for no apparent reason, was a mildly sized audience.
Within this audience was my mother, holding a baby that was gazing at the fast paced battle on front of them with starry eyes.
Why was I so excited looking at them you ask?
Well you just have to wait and see!!
Oh it's coming!!
The monacled man leapt back, releasing himself from the fast-paced battle that he seemed to be being pushed back in. Noticing this, Rainer dashed towards him with a lowered head, stopping him from being able to take a breather.
Despite this, the monacled man let out a big smirk, as his eyes that seemed to be glowing for some reason left Rainer unattended and gazed at the ground that was a bit to the left of his opponent. The pupils of Nero's eyes quickly returned back to his opponent, but it seemed like it was being pulled by something, as for a split second, it shook erratically as if it was stopped by chains of some sort, but broke through the chains shortly after.
Half a second after this strange event, the ground that Nero's eyes left Rainer for, released a blunt stick of the same material that the ground was made of in breakneck speed, towards Rainers liver, who not long after, let out a big clump of saliva out of his mouth and grimaced as he fell down to the floor.
Witches!! This world is a world of witches, not humans!!
If I was still back in my world, I would have been scared. But now it's different. You see, the man called Nero actually used witchcraft before in this battle, using his dirt witchcraft as a means to make a barrier to defend from an abrupt charge from Rainer, right when the battle commenced. But no one said anything. In fact, there was not even a look of shock on the peoples faces.
And this could only mean one thing: okay maybe two things, it's allowed and I may even be able to use it!!
My father, who was still grimacing on the floor, was offered a helping hand by his rival, to which he rejected with a slap to it and let out what I assume he thought was a cool smirk, but only ended up looking quite cringe worthy.
"You bastard, you're lucky I wasn't fully concentrated, falling for such an obvious trap."
Rainer said as he skillfully switched his previously pathetic position into a squat and got up in one.
"Oh? And what's on your mind?"
Nero questioned curiously.
"I guess I can tell you because you're my best friend…" Rainer continued as he dusted his clothes.
"It's about my baby, it's way too suspicious."
By now the crowd that was watching the spar between rivals was gone, leaving only my mother and me.
"Honey I've thought about that and I think we should leave it. After all theres never been a case like this in the history of the world that we know of, so it would be a way higher chance that it was just a coincidence."
Yelena joined the conversation in a matter-of-fact voice as she walked towards them.
"Besides, surely you're not gonna forget the way he splashed you after he just opened its eyes and you nearly abandoned it?"
Yelena playfully teased.
Remembering that moment, I sniggered, in my head of course. I no longer felt even a little bit bad for him after he nearly kicked me out of the house over a lingering anger from a mere 'bad day'.
"Hey I was seriously having a horrible day when I said that!! Four birds pooped on me when I was training and when I finally had enough of it, I walked to the cattle so I can train in the shed and while I was going there some kids thought it was a good idea to pull my pants down! And to top it all off, I suffered a three match losing streak in sparing with Nero!!"
As if saying 'Yup I remember that', Nero nodded his head smirking as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Dayum four sharts in a day?! And add mine that's five!! I guess I can forgive him a tiny bit but he's still a scum, take your anger out on maybe someone else other than your newborn baby…
"But dear that was really going too far, no bad day can be enough to tempt yourself into abandoning your own baby. Anyway enough of that Rainer, we need to go to my sisters house to do Vormets affinity test in two days. Are you ready?"
Yelena questioned, followed by a shudder of my small body.
"Of course. I mean what is there to get ready? Also can you pass Vormet to me? I wanna hold him." Rainer requested with a voice crack. Yes you read that correctly, a voice crack.
God my dad couldn't be more uncool. What happened to the trope of the protagonists dad being some legend that retired to the countryside to live as a hermit?! The only legendary thing about this guy is the fact he managed to secure a wife even though he's so stupid and uncharismatic, and a pretty one at that! I guess he's decently handsome but that's about it.
Ah before I raise eyebrows, we did have our fair share of shonen shows in my world that were played by skilled actors in the parties, like: Attack on Witches, Warrior x Warrior, boku no Giovanni pic- oh no not that one, I-I meant Möbius psycho 100, and some more too. Those were really trendy when I was a kid, good times…
"Yeah there's nothing, I just wanted to mention it. Hmmm-."
My mother replied shortly, stretching after passing me to her husband, signifying her low energy.
It was pretty late right now, which was why the crowd earlier was pretty small, but my village is actually quite populated. Right now I'm in a decently sized humble village in the country side called Pewter Village,
(A/N: Macbeth did not transmigrate into a Pokémon world by the way…)
and in a decently well off family compared to the rest of the village, but the rest of the village definitely isn't in poverty though.
We're well off because Rainer actually works as what's called an adventurer, that's in a team (known as a guild) full of other adventurers. And right now he's on a holiday because his wife was pregnant, and he's going to leave in a few months.
"Alright then Nero, I'm gonna get home because my wife's tired, don't slack off." Rainer said as he high-fived his rival, and guild mate.
"Idiot I should be saying that to you, you just lost to me horribly remember?"
"I said I wasn't focused!!" Rainer replied swiftly and energetically.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say."
Nero teased as he began walking away to his residence.
Rainer then looked at the baby in his hands and smiled.
"I'll win next time don't worry."
He said as he scruffled my few brown flat strands of hair, to which I replied with a:
"Ghaah. (Don't act all chummy with me as if you didn't nearly freaking abandon me a few days ago.)"
30 minutes later…
"Ghaah! (Oh yes, I finally found it!)"
In a not too spacious room, a baby can be found with many books scattered around him, looking at a book that had a spine text with both of his hands pumped up in a fist, and showing: 'Novice Optic Power Control'. with both his hands pumped up in a fist.
Thank god it was on the bottom shelf. Seriously, thank god.
The what I thought was witchcraft, was actually something called optic powers, as named by the people of this world.
Lowering the book slowly with my right hand, I began to drag it away from the book shelf, with both hands.
I've already learnt how to walk if you're wondering, it was pretty damn easy.
With a pounding heart, I layed the book on the ground carefully trying to avoid alerting my parents, and began to marvel at the lime front cover that had thick italic letters spelling out the same that was on the spine text.
The day I was brought to this world was not the day my adventure began.
This is when it all starts.
