Pokemon: Randomizer!

A New Ash Ketchum!

"Ash, wake up. It's morning already," a gentle and soothing voice pulled Ash from his sleep. He stretched, his body adjusting as he slowly sat up in bed.

"I'm up, Mom. I'll be down in a second," he replied groggily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. As he walked to his dresser, he caught his reflection in the mirror. A 13-year-old boy with messy black hair and brown eyes stared back.

Two months ago, Grey, an orphan from the real world, had died and somehow, he had been reincarnated into the world of Pokémon, inside the body of Ash Ketchum. It sounded unbelievable, almost like something out of a fantasy, but Grey knew that reality was often stranger than fiction. And this... this was now his reality.

When Grey died, he didn't immediately wake up in Ash's body. Before that happened, he was summoned to a strange, ethereal realm. There, he met a breathtakingly beautiful woman who introduced herself simply as "Guide." She explained that Grey had been chosen for reincarnation into a random world, not as a hero or with some grand destiny, but merely to "spice up" that world. It was all for the entertainment of higher beings who watched over various realms.

She didn't sugarcoat anything. There was no noble quest or higher calling in his new life. He could do whatever he wanted. Then, she summoned a glowing board, on which the following options appeared:

World:

Effect:

Boons:

System:

The board spun and selected his new world—The World of Pokémon. Not a bad pick, he thought. At least it was a world he was familiar with, even if only from a video game and anime. Next came the "Effect" slot, which landed on Randomizer. At first, Grey thought it was a joke, imagining wild encounters in tall grass shuffling around. But no... this change impacted the entire world in unpredictable ways. Examples of these effects would soon reveal themselves. In the end, he was just glad that it didn't land on other harder options like Radical Red or Emerald Kaizo

When it came to the boons, Grey was allowed to choose three, and he spent considerable time mulling over the options. Finally, he made his decisions:[Advanced Pokédex], [Enhanced Blessing of Viridian Forest] & [Interdimensional Subspace]

[Advanced Pokedex: The advanced version of normal Pokedex that shows detailed information about any given Pokemon from any given region.]

This Pokédex was like a built-in encyclopedia for Pokémon, with full stats, abilities, learnable moves, and background info. But instead of a physical device, Grey had asked for the Pokédex to be integrated into his body. Now, all Ash needed to do was look at a Pokémon, and he could access the information like stats, abilities, moves, and evolutions mentally with a simple command.

[Enhanced Blessing of Viridian Forest: The Blessing of Viridian Forest allows the user to read the emotions of Pokémon and vaguely understand their language as well as heal them. The enhanced version sacrifices the ability to heal Pokémon in exchange for a 50% increase in charm, making both humans and Pokémon naturally more inclined to like and trust him.]

[Interdemnsial Subspace: This boon allows the user to access a pocket dimension, a rift in space that he could mold to his will. It couldn't house living creatures, but it was perfect for storage and growing valuable items.].

The reason behind asking for [Enhanced Blessing of Viridian Forest] & [Interdimensional Subspace] was of course for making it easy for him to train his Pokemon.
