Nicholas Wartel was not what you would call ambitious. At 23 he was just able to make ends meet surviving on low quality food and living in a crappy house. But he was a champion—at least in the world of Pokémon.
That was the only thing that kept him going, his solace in this boring world. Or the only thing that he was actually good at….
Tonight was the night. He was playing pokemon emerald kaizo on a hardcore nuzlock. His hands were sweaty, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart pounded with the intensity of someone who hadn't moved in six hours.
"Just one more facade come on swellow ,you beautiful bird" Nicholas muttered.
Victory was within reach. Steven, the champion, had one Pokémon left. Carl's Slowbro was down to half HP due to a bad crit but it didn't matter. He'd planned for this. He had an entire strategy meticulously mapped out in his head no matter.
"Flamethrower!" Carl shouted, slamming the A button like his life depended on it.
The screen flashed. Slowbro delivered the final blow to Jirachi. The legendary collapsed. Victory music blared through the speakers.
"I DID IT!" Carl screamed, leaping up so fast his chair flew backward.
But before he could bask in his digital glory, his computer began to hum ominously.
"That's… new," he said, leaning closer.
The screen flickered, and sparks shot from the CPU. Carl's victory theme distorted into a demonic screech.
"Uh, that's not supposed to happen."
Then, with a sound like a thunderclap, his computer exploded.
Carl's last conscious thought wasn't fear or regret—it was annoyance. "I didn't even save my game."
When he opened his eyes, he wasn't in his basement anymore. He was lying on a road, grey clouds coating the sky above.
"What the— where am I?" His brain started running thousand miles a second
'Is..is this the legendary transmigration, he looks at his hands and feet, his clothes were different and so were the size of his hands, he had aged around 10 years….'
He first stood up and walked into an isolated corner and … beat his meat, twice….
"Huff now I can think clearly, okay let's see, I just defeated the champion….and then my pc exploded, how classic and I somehow ended up here…is this some kinda reward for nuzlocking kaizo?"
Nicholas then just stared at the sky for a while, seeing the pidgins fly by led by a pidgeotto...…
"WAIT A PIDGEY?? Is this the Pokémon world....HELL YEAH"
Now suddenly energised again he got up
"I gotta gather some basic information, whoever gave me this opportunity, I can't waste it, and the first step is a plan"
With that he stared wandering the city, trying to look less suspicious and trying to figure out where exactly he was.
