Bab 1: Unconcentual Isekai
Inspired by "This Bites" by Xomniac, "Streamer in the Omniverse" by Calleum_Artori, "Exposing One Piece With QNA" by GarudaTranslation and "Pokémon: Tears of a new Start" by CaioCoia. Great works that I recommend and wanted to try my own. I don't own pókemon, please let me keep my kneecaps.

"Haaaah…"
The waves crashed steadily against his legs. He can feel the horror that is sand getting to places that should not be in. He would usually jump in the water or get up to cleanse the tiny grains of conceptual pain in the ass, but his situation wasn't something that is catching up to his brain.
Last time he checked, he was in a air conditioned room, on a bed, wrapped in blankets like a burrito, sleeping.
So why in the nine realms of Mortal Kombat was he under a bright sun in a clear blue sky, sand scratching and sticking to his skin, water lapping at his lower half and is that a FUCKING KRABBY!?
Indeed a crustacean was basking the sun light on his stomach. His bare stomach. How can he tell it was a krabby? It's two comical eyes staring off into the ocean. Last time he checked, crabs have two beady black eyes that reflect the abyss of its morality. Not big white ones with black pupils.
Wait a minute…bare stomach?
Lifting his head, he was greated to the sight of his his entire body being naked except for a pair of black swim trunks. With a white pokeball symbol on the right leg.
"Excuse me my fine shellfish friend. Your shell looking practically shiny today. Can you get off for a bit? I wish to stand up." He asked, questioning if this is reality or a dream. He made a small note that his voice is also a decibel higher but still had a mature tone to it.
His answer was the Krabby slightly blushing and nodding, with its entire body, and scuttled off to the side. Great. Call him Mrs.Puff for he be rizzing up crabs.
Slowly he raised himself up and looked at himself. His body was younger for one, his chest hair, or what he can barely grow, was gone and he was skinner. Just how he was when turning eighteen. He was mid twenties, what kind of isekai bullshit is this?
"This is a dream right? A lucid dream! There's just no way!?" The reality of his situation was catching up to him. Looking around he was hit with a spray of salt water hitting his face. The slight sting in his eyes telling him that what he's in was all real.
Was he really Isekaied!? Did he die in his sleep!?
[Answer. No.]
…
He looked up slowly to find a blue screen floating in front of him.
Please…please don't tell him-
[Congratulations Indigo. You have been chosen out of over 8 billions souls to be reincarnated. Please hold as we find a system compatible with you.]
"Wait a second! My name isn't Indigo! I didn't want this! What happened to asking for consent!?"
[Irrelevant. Analysis complete. Most compatible system has been found.]
"I don't even get to choose what system I get!? I don't even want one!"
[Uploading Podcast System.]
Podcast ? What the hell do you mean Podcast!? Shouldn't it be gamer?
[Due to your extensive knowledge of the topic known as Pókemon, and of various types of media. Your lack of fitness, the minimum of fights you been in. Podcast has been chosen.]
"Your calling me a pussy in lowercase aren't you?"
[Mayhaps.]
Indigo eye twitched, deadpanning at the floating screen.
[please hold as system finish assimilation. If you have questions, ask them now.]
"Where the hell am I?"
[Find out yourself.]
Wha-oh come! Throw me a bone here! "Am I in the pokemon world?"
[Ask the Krabby.]
Prick. "What region am I in?"
[None.]
Oh this is starting to sound so much fun! If I was a god damn masochist! "Am I even near any civilization!?"
[Define near.]
"As in, is any region actually close to where I am at? You know? Whenever I need to leave for another place? A port, city or even a small settlement of some kind?"
[Cloest region is Orre. Farthest region is Paldea.]
Orre? As in Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD Gales of Darkness? What kind of spawn did he land on? "What's the timeline?"
[Three Days before Ash Ketchum gets Pikachu.]
The beginning of the anime? Well at least he has something to work with. "Why…Indigo?"
[A name fitting for a color master.]
"Color master? As in Red, Blue, Green, Gold? Those guys?" The color masters were known, lore wise, to be the best of the best. Red alone being known as the pokemon master and many say that he alone can probably beat all the champions if he wanted too. Not to mention he is the FireRed protagonist. If they exist Lucas might be Diamond, Dawn could be Platinum, Hilbert and Hilda could be Black and White. May could now be Sapphire, god help us all against that feral women, and more!
Essentially, their strongest counterparts and also the danger of manga that follows them.
Shit, was this world both anime, games and the manga?
[Correct.]
"That only gives me more questions."
[System has been assimilated. Thank you for the wait and enjoy your new life.]
Oh come on!
"Wait-", he couldn't stop the screen before a wave of nausea hit him making him fall to his knees. Why? Why was this happening to him. He was finally done his second year of college, he was gonna celebrate his moms birthday in a week. He doesn't even get to say goodbye? 'Damn it all…', was his final thought before he fell unconscious.
Who knows what's instore for this young man. A young man who despite what many say, doesn't seek the experience of being away from his family, doesn't wish to be alone. Thankfully, he made a friend today.
A friend that would stick by him through thick and thin, sea and salt.
——————Prolouge End-———————
"I don't recognize this ceiling." The first thing Indigo noticed was the rocky texture of the ceiling. Instead of his usual ceiling of his room, or even the sun, the ceiling was all rock.
Slowly getting up he noticed a weight on his stomach slightly keeping him down. Looking down, he saw the familiar shell of the Krabby. It was sleeping, making little bubbles from its mouth, without a care in the world.
"Kookie?" A rugged sound sounded out from his right. It's when he really took in his surroundings. He was in a cave…of crabs. All around him was crustaceans of all kind.
Krabbys, Kinglers, Dwebbles, Crustles. Hell he can see a Clauncher and a Corphish playing in a pond to the side. A Kingler scuttled up to him, it was four feet tall(1.3m), the average size for its kind. It looked at the Krabby on my stomach amused before reaching down with its smaller claw to shake the Krabby awake.
"Koo?" The little crab woke up blinking lazily. When it looked up to Indigo staring at it, it woke up quickly. "Kookie!" It cheered and eye smiled up at him. What a cute little fella. "Alright get off you. I got work too do."
The crab nodded again and scuttled off but stayed by his side. He sat up fully, wincing from his back slightly cracking. Sleeping on a rocky surface was not good for the body. "So it's all real huh?" He took the sight of the many crab pokemon in the cave. Thankfully most aren't hostile in fact are friendly and react to his presence as if he was just another day to day occurrence.
"A possible island of crab pokemon? I don't think something like this place exist or brought up in the anime or manga." He scratched his hair, it felt wet but dry. It was short with most of his hair being on top and thin everywhere else.
"Thats right I got a system of something right? I don't know much about them, only Solo Leveling and that one cooking manhua stands out to me the most." He thought outloud. Solo Leveling is what a gamer system done right is. The cooking one wasn't anything crazy, mostly it's showed the mc the ratings off dishes and ingredients. He read many stories with systems but some fall short but some do shine in the sea of them.
Though how would a podcast system work? Especially when he's on a island of crabs of all things. "So how do I even use this thing?" Systems were like game UIs right? So he just have to find the word to open them.
"Status." Nothing.
"Menu." Nada.
"System?" What are you, stupid?
"Pause." It's not a actual game.
"How do you Start Up this stupid thing!?"
A flash of light blinded him, he almost fell back but the Kingler held him up with its massive claw. It seemed to draw entertainment from this weird two legged creature.
Indigo rubbed his eyes to remove the spots that floated around his vision before looking up to see a floating screen.

So the key word or words are Start Up? Odd choice he got to amit. When let's see what's he's rocking with. Stats.
Stats:
Aura- same as every average joe
Psychic- same as every average joe
Physical- Do you even lift
Mental- you can fix a car engine not build one
Charisma- Maidenless
"Well fuck you too!" Indigo spar out closing the stats screen. Who you calling maidenless!? I had a girlfriend for two years I'll have you know! Unfortunately she moved too Europe and would be busy with her own studies. So we broke it off due to the struggle of balancing out college, paying off student dept and being so far from each other. We still video chat whenever we had the free time for do it.
Time zones weren't helping either.
"Whatever. So I can possibly use aura and be a psychic. Aura is the life force in everyone and every pokemon. Humans who can harness and control aura are called Aura Guardians and Pokemon who can use Aura are the Lucario line, Medicham, Togakiss and basically any Pokemon that can use Aura Sphere. Aura can be used to even read the minds and emotions of anything around them. But the drawback is using Aura is like using sound waves. It can be disrupted like normal sound by outside interference." He thought outloud not noticing his growing audience.
"What else? Oh Aura can also be used to make attacks and barriers if one's control is strong enough. Pretty sure it can also be used to talk to the dead or something. Do ghost types count? Oh I think it can also be used to talk to pokemon. Is that how N was able to understand Pokemon? Or is that just heightened empathy? Sheesh if I knew i was gonna be Isekaied to Pokemon I would research it more." He scratched his head in thought.
"Now for Psychic stuff it's pretty much in the name. Only that it's more along the lines of your brain. It can do the same stuff as Aura with telepathy, empathy, sensing, etc. only thing I can think of that's exclusive to Psychics who be precognition. I think Sabrina has it and can see up to three years into the future. And also whatever she does to turn people into dolls. Wait doesn't Olympia make a gravity field or something? Oh and teleporting! Now that something I wouldn't mind learning. Though how does one train to be psychic? Sabrina said anyone can technically become a psychic but never how." Aura was more in tune with the spiritual and physical state of the body and soul. Psychic was all mental and maybe a little spiritual if the Hex Maniacs have a say.
Truly Pokemon power is quite the package deal. "Though I'll have to seen if I can find a fighting type and a psychic type to train with. Just not the Hatterene line. They would literally kill me just casue I was a little sad. Fuck that."
"Indeed. The Hatterene family can be quite the handful."
"No kidding. I think I read somewhere that they would attack you for being too loud of all things."
"Unfortunately, it is true. I've seen good Pokemon fall just by being near one. I can only pray for anyone foolish enough to bother one."
"Yeah no kid…wait who am I talking too?" Indigo asked turning around and was greated to the sight of a pink stomach with yellow markings going down under. Looking up he was met with the amused eyes of a Slowking.
"Oh thank god your not the Galarian one."
"Ah you mean my poison counter part. Yes they too can be a quite the nuisance."
Indigo got up, noting that he was the same height of the Slowking, and held his hand up. "I didn't realize I would meet someone like you here. You wouldn't be related to the Slowking guarding the shrine of the legendary birds would you?"
The Slowking let out a short chortle and accepted the handshake. "Of course not. That fossil has been alive longer I have been out my egg! Us wild Slowking sometimes like to communicate with one another and always welcome a newly evolved one with that fossil always being the first to welcome them."
The Slowking spoke without moving his lips or made any noice. No doubt speaking through telepathy. Indigo gave Slowking a smile. "My name is Indigo. It's great to meet you Slowking."
"Likewise Indigo. I don't have a name so just continue calling me Slowking. Little Krabby and her father dragged you into our home when you fell unconscious. Gave her quite the scare."
Oh so that's how he ended up in the cave. He smiled, making sure not to show his teeth as some creature find that as a threat, to the father dauther duo. "Thank you two. I would of ended with a nasty sunburn if you left me on the beach."
The duo blinked before giving him eye smiles. They don't have lips so expressing emotions are mostly through the eyes. "Koo koo koki!" The little Krabby chanted at Indigo.
"Uhhh."
"She says, she would accept payment by sleeping on your stomach. Your quite warm."
Indigo blinked but shrugged. "Sure why not. The least I can do." The little Krabby jumped in excitement, little bubble spewed from its mouth to express it's happiness. The Kingler made a noice similar to a chuckle as it watched its child celebrate.
"Demoted to a heat rock. What has my life come too?"
"Haha! One can say it's a upgrade for some. Now than, you have quite to say about Aura and the Psychic. If you like I wouldn't mind being your teacher in the Psychic arts."
"Oh really? You just met me though, aren't I suspicious or a threat to the eco system by being here?" He knows that most pokemon are like real life animals. Humans can be more harmful to a animals habitat and unintentionally ruin their way of life.
"Not really. You see, most pokemon that live on this island are water type pokemon. Our food are mostly plant life on the sea floor or some low hanging berries. I would only ask don't over pick and replant any plants you pull up."
A island of water pokemon? Like the island of Squirtles? "Well good to know I made it to a friendly island. Do you know the nearest area of humans?"
The Slowking placed a paw on its chin in thought. "Let's see here. I believe a human boat passes by here every month. Heading from the east to west. The last one was a week ago. So I'd say about a month travel from here to either the east or west."
The system did say he was near the Orre region. A region known for no wild pokemon, but they get shipped Pokemon from Kanto, Johto and Hoenn. So the closest region would one of those three. God he wished he had a world map.
"Thanks, now uh give me a second." Indigo didn't know how to explain to use the system to a Pokemon even as intelligent as Slowking.
Slowking titled his head confused but nodded anyway. He turned around and faced back the floating screen.
Now then. Emails.
Emails:
-Getting Started
-One Free Gift
-Rewards
-Studio
Well good too see he he wasn't completely dicked over. Open Getting Started.
-Getting Started^
Welcome Indigo to the Podcast System. This system is based on creating Podcast that is shared through out the world. You can talk about anything and everything. With more people tuning in, you'll gain milestones as rewards to further improve your experience. Milestones can be simply gaining a thousand listeners to sharing a specific topic of interest. Also, depending on what topic you talk about, you'll get a stat increase based on what you discussed. Note that, you can also improve other people, pokemon or areas if you wish for it as a reward. Finally, you can invite people of interest to interview or share a discussion/debate with. The island your on is also your 'stage' in simple terms, you can invest to upgrade it from increasing landmass or boosting the vitality of the area around. It'll be where all your interviews will take place. That is all. Good luck Indigo.
So the island was created for him? Did the system love crabs or something? Or did this island exist and was chosen to be my stage?
So many questions but no one to answer. Well guess he'll figure it out as he goes. Open One Free Gift.
-One Free Gift^
Making a Podcast will require people to understand you. Not just people but Pokemon. This gift is made to not only for you to understand Pokemon but also speak with Pokemon. Yes, you can now interview Pokemon with anyone listening being able to understand them only through the podcast.
-Gained Póke-Translator
Oh that's actually sounds fun. I can interview pokemon and get to talk with them about the expirence of being a pokemon. He share exclusive content of a pokemon perspective! That'll definitely draw in a audience, well if he can convince a Pokemon to talk about their lives. So they find privacy important like humans do? Food for thought. Open Rewards.
-Rewards^
Rewards vary in wide broad of choices. You get three choices in every successful session and can offer to give away the rewards or keep them for yourselves. The more successful the session is, the more choices you get.This ranging from stat points, skills, items, pokemon, or even mystery gifts. Mystery Gifts are rare rewards that can span from a Water Stone to Bringing a Pokemon from one of your games. All random but worth. Note that once you accept the gift you have to open them no matter what. Whatever you receive from them, be it money or a world event, it will be accepted. No redos. Rewards can also be gained from Missions and Milestones so keep a eye out on your mission tab.
A Pokemon from my games? Any game? He slapped a hand onto his mouth, stiffiling a maniacal laugh that almost erupted from him. Oh he'll gladly accept that. After all, he beat all the main games. Who's to say he can't grab from fan games? He played it all. Radical Red, Insurgance, Uranium. All Drayanos games.
Reborn, Rejuvenation, and Desolation.
Oh shit, what about infinite fusion!? Actually maybe not. He doesn't know what the world react if he just summons a fused pokemon.
And he can possibly pull a Pokemon from them?
Okay maybe being send to this island isn't so bad. Wait no! He must stay focused! He must not be tempted by such things. He's in a Pokemon world to he has no clue what iteration it could be. Other than anime, if the Manga is involved this world is much harder than he perceives it.
Besides, as much as he would love to pull out Dialga or something, he doubt he can take care of it. He would need to check if the Island out before making major choices like that. He'll be playing survival until he can make a stable food source.
Finally, Open Studio.
-Studio
To make a Podcast, you'll need a place to perform them. By completing the first mission granted to you, you'll get a studio token. This token will spawn in a basic studio with basic living essentials and a room to take place your sessions. This'll be your base of operations so choose a place you wish to live by carefully.
Oh, he did wonder how'll he would make Podcasts. He'll have to find a place that isn't occupied by Pokemon before using the token. He would love to live by the beach!
Indigo nodded and knocked a fist onto a palm. "Yosh! First I'll explore the island! Than I'll find a good place for me to live and start working on setting up my first podcast!" He said, the power of you-he means determination shining brightly inside him!
Slowking smiled and nodded. "That is fine. Though you'll have to make sure where your putting your studio isn't occupying someone's home."
"Yeah. I would like to live by the beach, but I'm not gonna force any pokemon to move…out." Indigo slowed his words at the end when it hit him. Slowly he turned to see Slowking simply smiling at him, absolute mirth and amusement can be seen in his eyes.
"First lesson. Making sure to hide your thoughts. If you plan on ever talking with a fellow Psychic you'll need to to prevent others from reading your mind. Come, I'll be your guide of the island. I can't wait to see what you'll bring." Slowking said, placing its paws behind his back and began walking out the cave.
Are all Slowking like this?
"No, I believe it's just my great personality."
"Your name is now Dumbledore." Indigo said before following Slowking. The way he just takes things in stride and finds everything amusing just reminds him of the old wizard from Harry Potter.
"Ha! I like it. Call me Dumbledore from now on. Now come my student, we'll find a good place for you."
As they headed out, the little Krabby followed behind. Curious what they were up too.
And so the unlikely trio of a Slowking named Dumbledore, A Isekaied guy named Indigo and a spirited Krabby set out the cave to explore the island. What does the future hold for this wayward man? What changes will be brought by a outsiders knowledge.
Only the future can tell with this trio.
————————————————————
Originally I was gonna make this entire chapter just a prologue but wanted to throw out a full chapter since the actual podcast won't start for another chapter. Also why crab pokemon? Cause of Chrismas Island. On the island millions of migrating crabs will cross the island to head to the ocean. And because they were the first aquatic pokemon that I thought of that aren't a bunch of jerks. And the island of squirtles already exist.
Have a good day~
