Chapter 1: Rebirth

In a completely white room with nothing more than a small coffee table with tea and snacks, there is a young man looking like he is in his early 20s, is talking to an old man that looks like he belongs to a wuxia novel and is about to beg for forgiveness from his young master.

'Yup that's me, you probably wonder how I got here. Well, I think my name was [Redacted]. And this is what happened.'

Flashback no Jutsu

In a small apartment complex, a young man is seen studying. This is [Redacted] and currently, he is studying for his final exam to finally graduate medical school.

"Ha… finally done studying" as he looked through his window "Not like I need to study, but graduating top of my class wouldn't hurt." He already had enough of a good grade to graduate even if he didn't show up for the final exam, and his photographic memory didn't hurt either.

As he got up and moved to his computer he pulled up his favorite show, Pokemon, a show he grew up with, and even read the manga and played the games, even the harder rom hacks like renegade platinum and radical red.

He pulled up the last few episodes from the anime starting from Pokemon Journeys episode 130 to finally see Ash vs Leon. "Now to finally finish this show before I go to sleep" and thus started his final marathon of the last episodes of the anime.

Hours later. "Finally it's over, and yet it's bitter-sweet" Looking over at his clock. "12:36, it's past midnight I better go to sleep" As he moved to get to bed he thought 'After 25 years, 30-something Pokemon and like 16 Tauros, and 8 regions he is finally champion… and yet he is still 10. Man, and he didn't even catch them all as the original theme songs promised.'

Getting into bed he started to sleep dreaming about what could have been in the anime.

Hours later we can see the same young man running down the street, "Shoot, shoot, shoot, I overslept on the debatable most important day for me to not oversleep. How Ironic" Seeing his college in sight he couldn't help but grin 'Finally after I ace this test I'll finally become a doctor and start my journey

But Unfortunately for him due to a change of destiny, he didn't see a truck coming his way, and when he did it was too late he saw the headlights, then nothing.

________________________________

'And that is how I got into this situation, uhhhh, and on the last day as soon as I was going to finally finish school could you have killed me before school started!?

And finally, the old man started to talk, "No point in delaying it, you're dead and I'm sorry to say you're dead due to my mistake. I was sending my partner to collect someone else and I gave him the wrong person"

"How often does that happen" [Redacted] asked before taking a sip of tea, calmer than anyone else would be in the same situation. "Never, this is the first time this has ever happened." Exclaimed the old man.

"I must say you seem to be calmer than I expected, I half expected you to start cursing me as soon as you found out." Said the old man, "Are you alright, or has the shock left you too stunned to speak"

"Well to be honest if I am dead there is no point in getting mad it's already happened. Besides, not like I had anyone to look over. I'm an orphan, with no significant other, barely had friends at all, that only got into college with scholarships." exhaled the young man, 'but it is annoying, after all that work and the time wasted I'm left here.'

"So is this the part where I go to heaven or something," he asked.

"No, I'm bringing you back to life, after you were destined for many things and because of me that's all over." Explained the old man, "You see I'm actually what you people down on earth call ROB"

"Really, where am I being sent then? '' the man asked, starting to get a little excited.

"Well, you seem to be a big fan of the Pokemon world so that's probably the best spot. And because I ruined your life I'll give you a little something so I won't meet you again anytime soon." Said the old man.

As soon as he said that 3 wheels came out from the coffee table, each with different text written on each. (Author's Note - I actually made these wheels and am spinning on them to see what to do for this story, there is some actual good stuff and horrible stuff on them. The only thing that isn't random is setting)

"These three wheels will decide how and what you go into the world with. First is the setting, which will decide what you would go into. The one after that will decide what talent you have, and the last will decide what item you have." explained the old man.

As [Redacted] looked over the wheels he saw many things like the original, game, manga, and many more. Talents and skills like physic powers, Pokeball creation, and basic Pokemon knowledge. And he saw plenty of items like Golden bottle caps, master balls, and just basic items.

Seeing this he spun the three at the same time. No point in delaying it. The wheels began to spin for a long time. His eyes didn't dare to blink as he stared into the wheels.

'Please be something good, and please don't send him to a world where I'm just going to die, or in one of the evil professors Oak'

The first wheel to stop was the talent wheel landing on knowledge of optimal diet and training for Pokemon. 'Nice' The next stop was the item wheel landing on the incomplete Pokedex upgrade chip.

"What does that do?" he asked in confusion

"Well it seems like it is a chip that you can put in and out of your Pokedex to upgrade it and save how far you are in the national dex" The old man explained," seems like the upgrade is being able to use the PC remotely, and it also updates constantly, not the best thing but no the worst thing you could have gotten."

He was a little disappointed considering it wasn't that good but he couldn't complain. But he looked at the final wheel. This made it or break it, this was the most important wheel if this was bad it was over for him. As it slowed down it landed on Mix Pokemon world(HARD MODE!).

Seeing this a mixture of fear and confusion crept onto both of the men's faces. As the young man asked, "What does that mean, anything that has a hard mode in all capital letters can't be good, can it?"

The old man just looked at him sadly and told him, "It seems to be a mixture of the worlds of Pokemon, that also is much harder." the old man explained, "Think of it as Pokemon Red being the normal world, and Pokemon Radical Red being this one."

Hearing this [Redacted] Felt defeated, falling on the ground he could only think, "That's it I'm done, finished, I am a dead man, a Cornucopia of pain and destruction is coming my way and it is going to kill me".

Seeing this the old man thought of something, "Look I'm only doing this for you because I did kill you so, you can role the talent wheel again, and I'll send you to a place where you'll be safe and be able to learn all you need to to survive" (Author's Note - BTW the second spin isn't Author BS trying to make a Mery sue, there is actually a slot on the wheel saying spin two more times, there is also one on the item wheel it just wasn't spun.)

The young man couldn't help but to look confused and happy, "R-really? Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." He couldn't stop himself as he rolled the talent wheel again.

"Don't thank me yet because of this I'll have to lock you out of using whatever you get until you turn 8" As the old man said that the wheel stood on another slot, "personal dimension space, not bad but also not too useful, at least it is your own inventory where time doesn't move."

"Now it is finally time for you to go" as he held his hand out, "I hope you can live with no regrets, but no offense I don't want you to come back here anytime soon"

Taking his hand the young man says, "Thank you for everything" as he feels himself losing consciousness. But before he closes his eyes he can hear the old man telling him something

"Remember your destiny is your own, if you don't like it then change it"

And just like that the story begins.
