No clue how to unlock more… I guess these bonuses will surprise me when I least expect them.
Now, I should check the System Interface to understand my situation better.

Wait... 16? I'm 16 years old?! No wonder I shrunk. I guess transmigrating into Kanto would mean some adjustments, but changing my age?
As I stood there, staring at the newly unlocked system interface, the gravity of my situation began to settle in. The Pokémon world spread out before me, a vibrant tapestry of colors and sounds. The sky was a brilliant cerulean, dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily overhead. The air was fresh, carrying the faint, earthy scent of grass and distant flowers.
The landscape was like nothing I'd ever seen before—lush rolling hills stretched as far as the eye could see, painted in shades of green that seemed almost otherworldly. In the distance, the outline of Pallet Town peeked through a gentle mist, its quaint buildings nestled amid sprawling fields.
As I took in my surroundings, the sound of rustling leaves caught my attention. A flock of Pidgey fluttered from a nearby oak tree, their wings a flurry of soft brown and white feathers. Their cheerful chirping filled the air, a melody of nature's orchestra. Somewhere in the distance, a stream babbled over smooth stones, its clear waters shimmering like a ribbon of silver under the sunlight.
This realization hit me like a tidal wave, a bizarre mix of nostalgia and disbelief. The last time I was 16, life was a tumultuous blend of high school drama, awkward social interactions, and the naive dreams of youth. It was a time of potential and uncertainty, of friendships and first loves, of mistakes and learning.
Now, thrust back into this adolescent body, I felt a bizarre sense of déjà vu. My mind was flooded with memories—some fond, some bittersweet. The laughter of friends, the sting of teenage heartbreak, the awkward attempts to assert my identity. These memories were like ghosts, whispering of what once was and what could be again.
Yet, with this second chance came the weight of opportunity. Here, in the Pokémon world, the rules were different. I was more than just a teenager stumbling through life—I was someone with the potential to be extraordinary. The thought was both exhilarating and terrifying. Could I be more confident this time? Could I avoid the missteps that had once held me back?
A gentle breeze rustled through the grass, carrying with it the scent of adventure. The Pokémon world was alive, teeming with creatures and mysteries waiting to be discovered. I couldn't help but reflect on the person I had become over the years. The decisions made, the paths taken—the things I cherished and those I regretted. This was a chance to start anew, to redefine myself in ways I hadn't dared before. The Pokémon world was a blank canvas, and I was determined to paint a picture of triumph and discovery.
Sigh...
Now, what should I set my hometown as? Should I say Pallet Town?
But then, wouldn't they be suspicious of a kid they've never seen before?
If I claim I'm from some faraway region, wouldn't it be even more suspicious that I arrived here alone without a Pokémon or guardian?
Man, this is frustrating.
As I pondered, my mind drifted to Emma. Where was she? Was she okay?
I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on my current predicament.

Looking at my stats, I felt a surge of curiosity. What did these numbers mean? Why did I have RPG-like stats in a Pokémon world? And why was my luck so high? Guess I was lucky to transmigrate here rather than... well, becoming charcoal.
A shiver ran down my spine as I thought about the alternatives.

So, this is how I saw that info about Pidgey earlier. A useful ability to have, especially when dealing with wild Pokémon.
Let's see.. what else?

...Wait. Harem System? Is this a joke? What kind of system is this? Who coded this?
I barely spoke to anyone back home, and now I'm expected to manage a harem? Forget having crushes—I've never even dated. I lived alone, bought groceries, and that's the extent of my human interaction.
Sigh... This could either go really well... or really, really badly. I should probably give this a shot, though. I mean, I'm in a new world, and I'm 16 again. It wouldn't hurt to be a little more social this time.
Just as I finished contemplating my situation, a new notification popped up.
