Arin Sen awakens in the slums of Fuchsia City, reborn into a world where Pokémon are both a means of survival and a symbol of power. With only his wits, a mysterious pendant, and memories of a past life as a hacker, Arin navigates a society divided by wealth and danger. Determined to rise above poverty, he conceals his talents-both technological and supernatural-while quietly building a new life.

As Arin earns his place among the city’s outcasts, he sets his sights on two unlikely allies: a wounded, overlooked Zubat and a secretive Dratini hidden deep within the Safari Zone. Through patience, empathy, and ingenuity, Arin forges bonds with these Pokémon, all while developing an anonymous social app that begins to shake the region’s digital landscape.

But in a world where secrets are currency and trust is rare, Arin must balance ambition with caution. With the shadow of Team Rocket looming and the truth behind his pendant waiting to be revealed, Arin’s resolve will be tested. Can he protect his friends, outwit his enemies, and carve out a future in a city that never gives second chances?

Thanks so much for clicking on my story-this is actually my very first fanfic, so your support and feedback mean the world to me as I find my footing.


This isn't quite the Pokémon world you might remember. Here, time moves forward for real-characters grow up, friendships and rivalries change, and every choice leaves a mark. People live long lives thanks to Pokémon and modern medicine, so every journey and relationship has a little extra weight.


You'll be following Arin Sen, a techie reincarnator just trying to survive in the rougher parts of Fuchsia City. He'll have to earn trust, make tough decisions, and build bonds with Pokémon who aren't always what they seem. I'm aiming for a story that feels real and patient, where both people and Pokémon get the chance to grow.
