Ash awoke slowly, the gentle rays of the morning sun filtering through the curtains of his bedroom.

For the first time since his reincarnation, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. The chaotic thoughts that had clouded his mind were now distant echoes, replaced by an overwhelming feeling of peace.

As he lay there, wrapped in the warmth of his blankets, he couldn't help but smile. This was the life he had longed for—free from the weight of his past.

"Alright, Ash," he said softly, determination shining in his eyes. "Time to get started."

He climbed out of bed, feeling a newfound energy coursing through him. As he opened the window to let in the fresh morning air, the sounds of Pallet Town filled his ears. The chirping of Pidgeys, the distant laughter of children, and the gentle rustle of leaves painted a serene picture.

Ash took a deep breath, grounding himself in the moment. Today was the first day of his new adventure, and with the Pokémon Master System by his side, he knew he had the tools to make his dreams come true.

After a moment of contemplation, Ash's eyes darted back to his bag, where the two Mystery Gifts awaited. "I need to see what else I can get!" He quickly opened the bag, revealing the two shimmering boxes that pulsed with energy.

With a spark of curiosity, he leaned in closer. "Let's see what's inside!" Ash selected the first box and a prompt appeared on the screen:

Open Mystery Gift? Y/N

He didn't hesitate. "Yes!"

As he clicked the confirmation, a blinding white light erupted from the box, swirling around him before being drawn into his very being.

Ash felt a warm rush as the light enveloped him, causing him to momentarily squint. The sensation was both exhilarating and bewildering.

"What just happened?" he thought, trying to catch his breath.

He quickly glanced back at the screen. His initial excitement was slightly tempered by the realization that both his Psychic and Aura abilities were at the beginner level. "Beginner level?" he sighed, feeling a wave of disappointment wash over him. Well, I guess I have to start somewhere

Suddenly, he heard a ding sound and opened his eyes to see a new mission on the floating window.

"This is it!" he exclaimed, determination shining in his eyes. "I need to practice my new powers right away!"

Without wasting another moment, Ash bolted out of the house, eager to find a place where he could focus on his training.

He knew that mastering his Psychic and Aura abilities would be crucial to his journey as a Pokémon Trainer.

As he stepped outside, the bright morning sun beamed down on him, casting a golden glow over the familiar sights of Pallet Town.

He took a deep breath, feeling the energy of the world around him. It was time to explore his newfound abilities.

"Let's see what I can do!" he thought, excitement bubbling within him.

He wandered to a nearby field, away from prying eyes, and stood in the center, ready to begin his practice.

Ash closed his eyes, visualizing the flow of energy around him. He focused on his breathing, attempting to sense the aura of nature surrounding him.

With a deep breath, Ash reached out with his mind, feeling the gentle pulses of energy from the grass, the trees, and even the distant Pokémon that roamed the area.

This is amazing! he thought, exhilarated by the connection he could feel.

Next, he concentrated on his Psychic abilities, envisioning a small pebble on the ground.

"Alright, let's see if I can lift you!" he said confidently, extending his hand toward the pebble.

At first, nothing happened, and Ash felt a flicker of doubt. But he pushed through, recalling the determination that had fueled him since his arrival in this world. Focus!

With renewed effort, he visualized the pebble lifting into the air. Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy as the pebble wobbled before rising a few inches off the ground.

"Yes! I did it!" he cheered, his heart racing with joy.

Encouraged by this small victory, Ash set his sights on mastering both his Psychic and Aura abilities.

With the new quest fresh in his mind and the sun shining down on him, he was ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime.
