POV: Loki
In a dark room, the only source of light was the flashing lights from a large monitor.
A young man was squatting on his bed, staring intently at the anime that was currently playing on the monitor screen.
He had wavy white hair with streaks of purple at the tips, a handsome face, and a sleeper build hidden by his baggy clothes.
He was clearly a neet, but a handsome one.
Suddenly, the window of the room opened with a faint sound and the curtains were pulled apart.
The sunlight immediately illuminated the room, nearly 'blinding' him.
"WHO IS IT!!????"
Loki roared with anger as he jumped from his bed and glared at the open window.
There was noone in his sight. He looked at the view of the blue sky for a few more seconds. Sensing no one around, he rubbed his red eyes.
'Was it just the wind?' He remembered the last 4 year he did not see the sun, worthy of a Guinness World Records. But now, that streak was broken. His anger was justified.
[Loki.]
A voice suddenly emerged in his head. He immediately recognized the voice and all of his anger and confusion were blown away.
The next instance, he was already bowing to the empty sky.
"Boss!" He called out.
The voice ignored his outburst and began to share the quest that would soon destabilize two different worlds.
[There has been a dimensional tear and it has connected this world with another. In a few months, this dimensional tear will begin to manifest throughout this world.]
[Go to the new world and ascertain whether it is suitable for the advent of pokemon. If it is, create a foothold so that the pokemon can descend into that world and thrive in the new environment.]
Loki stayed silent for a few seconds, processing the meaning behind the words of his boss. Interest and eagerness filled his heart increasingly with each second.
After making sure that he understood everything properly, he raised his head.
"I understand. When should I start?"
[Now. I am opening a dimensional GATE in your garden.]
Loki felt a surge of air from the open window. When he walked over and looked out, he saw a swirling circle of blue light in his garden.
A few distance away, a small pokemon, with a pink flower on her head, peeked out through the sea of flowers and looked at the GATE curiously.
He unceremoniously jumped out from the window and walked towards the GATE. He knelt before the small pokemon and patted her head.
"Shaymin, boss gave me a main story quest so I am heading out for a while. Please inform the rest and tell them to maintain a high alert till I return."
Shaymin made a cute squeak in response. He patted her head one last time and released her. She squeaked once more and quickly disappeared among the sea of flowers.
The impromptu preparations were done. He stood up and looked at the GATE. His large grin literally stretched from ear to ear. He could no longer wait.
"A brand new world awaits!"
With those last words, he jumped into the GATE.

"Hmm."
Loki hummed as he looked the damp wooden walls of the room. The swirling blue GATE was behind him.
'Looks like boss chose an abandoned building to open the GATE. Does he have any intention for this place?'
He stretched his senses until they covered a few hundred meters.
'This building is near a harbor. By the looks of the city, this place looks like a port town from China and is inhabited by humans.'
'Energy is abundant in the surroundings, comparable to our world. And some of these humans have a catalyst that gathers this energy...'
'No way! Could this world really be...?'
A glimmer of enthusiasm appeared in his eyes. He immediately hid the GATE with an illusion and rushed out from the building.
With a 'bang' of the door, he stepped onto the streets. After seeing a few humans look at him strangely due to the huge ruckus he just caused, he coughed awkwardly and straightened his posture.
He began to walk along the streets in silence, observing all the smallest details with his eyes. A few seconds passed and he was already annoyed since everyone was still looking at him as if he was a freak.
What was so special about him that he became an instant celebrity in this town? He followed their gaze and looked down.
His eyes immediately landed on his loose t-shirt and pants and he immediately cringed.
His clothes looked modern, completely different from the clothes other people wore. But that was not the problem. They looked extremely old and worn out. The only blessing was that there were no tears or holes.
He finally realized his mistake. He had forgot to change the clothes he wore for the last 4 years in his enthusiasm to explore a new world.
'I should have thought of this more.'
He reluctantly turned back and walked towards the building (he just came from) with hurried steps.

In a certain Funeral Parlor, a young and dignified gentleman was sipping tea in a guest room. Sensing something, he curiously turned his head towards the harbor with keen interest.
'A descender?'
