As I left my last class for the day, I decided to walk home.
Life has been getting too boring for me. Everyday, I have to go to my college , learn, and go home to study or do homework. It'll all be worth it though in the end.
I miss the days when I was a kid. Just wondering around without a clue, having all the time in the world. I kinda resented myself as a kid for not training any particular skills.
As a kid, if you put your mind to something to learn a skill, by the time you're an adult, you would probably have mastered the skill.
As I made it home, I got on my Pc and began indulging in my most favorite franchise, "Pokemon".
Ever since I was a little boy, I have been in love with Pokemon. I still remember the day my late father bought me Pokemon FireRed as a Christmas gift.
I played with it for months. It would have taken me less time but I got stuck in places like Rock Tunnel. Not having Flash was a nightmare.
I finished the game the week before the next Christmas, which was when my father than brought me Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire..
Ever since then, I have been following the franchise all the way until Scarlet and Violet. It's pretty much a tradition to play through the games. It was like my way of remembering my dad.
Pokemon definitely had fallen off in terms of enjoyment for me. I guess I just got older and the easy game-play doesn't satisfy me. My favorite game had to be Pokemon Black and White 2.
It was challenging and had a great story while also having a fun post game. The Pokemon World Tournement, featuring past region's great trainers was fun to play.
The Pokemon anime also ended on a high note. Ash finally became the World's strongest trainer, finally putting an end to the 26 year old series.

After hours, having spend enough time on my computer, I decided I was done with today and went to bed to sleep.
I got into bed and tried to get comfortable. As my mind drifted to sleep, there was only one thing on my mind. It was Pokemon.
It only took a few minutes for my mind to fully drift to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll have to go to school all over again. Or will I?
_________
As I woke up, I felt unnaturally dizzy. I don't remember drinking last night, so what happened to me?
As I got up, I gained a sense of panic. This wasn't my room. More importantly though, I wasn't myself.
My room was big as hell. It was highly decorated and just gave off "generational wealth" vibes. One thing I noticed was a crazy amount of Pokemon plushies I had in my room.
The other crazy thing is this was not my body. I hadn't looked in a mirror yet but I didn't need that to know I wasn't normal. My height, and the small proportions of my body made me 100% look like a kid.
I was freaking out. I wanted to think this was a dream but it just didn't feel like it. I pinched myself over and over to no avail.
" Aster, can you please come down", an unidentified voice echoed through the house and into my room.
A pain jolted coursed through my head. I clutched my head with my two hands, falling down onto my knees. Memories were flashing in my head with unrivaled speed, giving me an extensive biography.
I was Aster Morningstar. My father, Darren Morningstar is the current owner of Silph Co. We were one of the richest families in the world. I was currently 5 years old.
We live in Kanto, more specifically in Saffron City. My father always wanted to be as close as he can to the heart of his company. The big thing I got from this though, is I'm in the Pokemon world.
As I got up, the weight of this really hit me.
Being in the Pokemon world would be kind of scary. The wilds being roamed by such strong beasts are insane. It's like a world full of cryptics with mystical powers. I still want to be a trainer though. It seemed like the old Aster didn't want to.
No need to worry about spilled milk. I need to pull myself together and at normal to my new parents.
I got dressed before walking downstairs to my parents. Our house really was huge as hell. Way better than my old poor life.
It seems I inherited the memories of Astar Morningstar. It's just that the oldest memories hurt to think about. That came in clutch with knowing the house layout.
I made it to the living room in which I saw my two parents.
My dad, Darren Morningstar look very imposing, but not in a strength way.
He was a very tall man, capable of towering over the normal adult. He already had his jet black suit on when it was only 8:00 in the morning. His white hair was slicked back, and it made him look all the better.
Everything about the man exuded confidence and badassery.
My eyes wandered over to my mom.
My mom, now Bella Morningstar, was much younger than my dad. She is now 31 years old . Her jet black hair suited her the most, as it added another layer of intrigue to her. Her obsidian colored dress hugged her curves perfectly. Truly a beauty for all eyes.
The age difference between the two was palpable, but from my memories, I could tell they were a match made in heaven. Two of the most intimidating people I have ever seen.
" Aster, we wanted to talk to you about something", Bella decided to talk out first to me, smiling widely." Your father and I have an announcement to make".
My eyes were lit with suspension. What could it be?
" Your father has finally decided..... to let you shadow him at Silph Co. and all his endeavors", My mother shouted, putting his hands up in the air in some grand gesture.
"Not in those clothes, you aren't", my father coldly added in.
I guess this is my new life now.
Dad said we were going to depart Silph Co at noon, and that I should get dressed well. in preparation for that. So until then, I got this whole big house to explore.
First I decided to get some breakfast. Walking into the enormous kitchen, I was greeted by the personal chef of the family. This whole house was littered with these paid servants.
After ordering a full English, containing beans, tomatoes, eggs from a Torchic, and sausages and bacon from a Lechonk. It was my first time eating Pokemon and stuff from Pokemon but it was good.
I ate my food quickly, wanting to get to the coolest part of the house. The food was delicious, way better than any of my old life food. Being rich is too amazing.
Finishing scarfing down my food, I made my way to my favorite place of old Aster Morningstar's memories. Our Backyard.
Going into our Backyard, I marvel at the size. It was the biggest backyard I have ever seen. I wasn't here just to marvel at the size. I was here for the beasts inside of it.
It seems like my mom was a dog person, or lover to be exact, as she liked to collect these canines from all over the world.
As I ran onto the grass I was rushed by these animals. I wasn't worried or scared about these Pokemons, because from my memories, they're really gentle with me.
The first one of these was Arcinine, the only Kanto native dog here. Arcanine's fur is a vibrant shade of rich orange, reminiscent of a blazing flame.
The fur appears to ripple with energy and intensity, giving it a fiery and dynamic quality.
The next dog I saw was Houndoom. Houndoom possesses a lean and imposing figure that exudes power and malice.
Its body is cloaked in midnight black fur, adding to its ominous allure. The darkness of its form seems to absorb the light around it, further emphasizing its connection to the depths of evil.
I saw a Manetric.This electrifying feature stands out against its blue fur, creating a captivating contrast. Its face showcases a pair of keen, amber-colored eyes that glimmer with intelligence and intensity.
The Pokémon's most striking feature is the pair of large, pointed, lightning bolt-shaped tufts that extend from its cheeks.
I also saw a Stoutland, Fufrou, and Boltund. All these Pokemons were the least of my favorite of the dogs as they were not that memorable to me.
My favorites of these were from the region of Aloha. It seemed like my mother got 2 versions of them.
Lycanroc, the mid day form, resembles a quadrupedal, light brown wolf. It has a white underbelly that extends up around its muzzle and eyes in a mask-like marking. It has pointed ears with dark brown tips and pink insides, big blue eyes, and a triangular, dark brown nose.
In it's midnight form, my favorite of the two, Lycanroc instead resembles a slouched, bipedal wolf or werewolf. It has short red fur with white on its lower legs and a white streak that covers its face, underbelly, and tail.
The dogs were tossing me around, and I landed on Arcanine's back. I rode on the Arcanine as she rode across the whole backyard, the other dogs following close behind.
I played with the dogs, almost forgetting that I have to get dressed for Silph Co. My first time with Pokemon, as magical as I could ever have imagined. I'm so lucky I crossed over to this world.

After playing with those Pokemon, I went over to my room to get dressed in my best clothes.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw my well dressed figure.
I was a small, skinny 5 year old boy with snow white hair. I wore a jet black suit just like my father. I dress my best because in all honesty, I wanted to impress my dad.
As I walked downstairs, I headed to my intimidating father's whereabouts ,which was the living room.
"You finally came down. Took you long enough. Straighten your back, your slouching", my father hastily said, which I complied immediately.
I followed him outside of the house to his car, which was a very old car. Guess he had that since forever.
I got into one of the only two seats in the car. Strangely enough, he didn't start the car and just waited. After a while, he started to talk.
"Once we get there, I need you to be on your best behavior. We have a reputation to uphold. If you do that, you may get something nice", my father told me.
" The Morningstar family, it's a big name. But I know you can rise up to the expectation. You are my son after all", he continued.
I guess I had to lock in. I need to get used to this rich life.
As dad started driving to Saffron, he began to talk more.
"Silph Co is the biggest company in the world. In Kanto, you will see our influence all over and in other regions, you will still see it.", Darren continued, letting me know all the details.
For the whole ride to Saffron, he let me know all about Silph Co.
He did not overstate Silph Co's power. We develop the most commercially used Pokeballs, including Great Balls, Ultra Balls, and soon enough, the Master Ball. All other variations are made from companies such as Devon Corps and the Poke Ball Factory in Kalos.
We are the only manufacturers of Potions and Repels though. That includes Super , Max Potion and Repels.
We are also always the biggest sponsor of any big tournaments like the Indigo League and the World Coronation series.
I also noticed while we were driving, we were followed by these black cars. Dad filled me in and said those were his bodyguards. I wonder how strong they are?
It didn't take us long to get to Saffron, Kanto's biggest city, a metropolis. Everything here is big.
After a couple more minutes of traffic, we made it to the Silph Co Hq, the head of the largest snake of a company there.
We got out of the car, dad tossing his keys to a man in the front of the building to take care of it.
I mentally psyched myself, trying to mirror all of dad's body language in an attempt to merely make a small copy of his presence.
Let's make a good impression.

If I get 5 power stones and 25 new collections, I'll give 2 bonus chapters for today.
