————————————————————
The rain outside fell without end, the water droplets sliding down the glass window gave the impression that the long rainy night was just beginning.
Inside the luxurious but not overly extravagant room, a young man lay on his bed with his Nintendo Switch. Despite his pale skin and seemingly weak body, the young man still wore a smile on his face.
"Just one more to complete the Pokédex!" the young man exclaimed, his smile growing brighter. Throughout his life, he had completed every game from famous franchises like Pokémon, God Eater, Final Fantasy, and many others. His anime catalog was just as impressive; in his 17 years, he dedicated every second of his life to games and anime.
To outsiders unaware of his life, they initially thought he was just a lazy kid living off a rich family:
"Of course life is easy when you're born rich!" his neighbors would say.
But that perception changed dramatically.
"He has cancer!"
That single phrase changed the neighborhood's view of the boy.
His name? Ryoung, a young man who wouldn't live past 18, thanks to the cancer diagnosed when he was just 10 years old. From that moment on, already knowing the likely date of his death, his parents allowed him to enjoy each day as if it were his last.
And sadly, today was that day.
Still sitting in bed playing Pokémon, Ryoung felt a sharp pain in his chest. Placing his hand over it and massaging in hopes of easing the discomfort, he felt something wet running down his nose.
"Blood..." he said, wiping it and seeing the red liquid staining the back of his hand.
"I kinda expected this already," he smiled, looking at the screen where his Pokédex showed the numbers: 400/400.
Despite death being so close, there was no regret in his eyes—only relief at having completed his final mission. Ryoung had no doubt he had lived a life many grown men would envy—those who had to give up their hobbies to support their families in adulthood.
Closing his eyes, he waited for the inevitable end. But the pain he was expecting never came.
1... 2... 100... 24000...
Time passed, yet the pain refused to arrive. Opening his eyes, Ryoung found himself in a strange white room. In front of him, a beautiful woman was enjoying a cup of tea. Her gaze was soft and gentle, like a mother seeing her son return from war.
"You've arrived, little one~!"
Her gentle voice echoed in Ryoung's ears like Beethoven's melodies— a beautiful symphony, almost unreal.
'A Goddess!' That was the first thought that came to Ryoung's mind.
The beautiful woman, with her long silver hair flowing like a waterfall and black clothes reminiscent of a babydoll, radiated divine energy. Her very presence soothed Ryoung's mind and soul. Staring into her gorgeous eyes that shone like obsidian, he noticed the pair of crystal-like horns sprouting from the top of her head.
"Nibel!" she said.
Caught off guard, Ryoung fixed his eyes on hers. After a few seconds appreciating such beauty, he asked, still confused, "Nibel?"
Looking at the confused Ryoung, the beautiful woman—now called Nibel—showed a dazzling smile that could bring entire kingdoms to ruin.
"Yes, Nibel, that is my name," she repeated.
"...Ryoung," he replied, his eyes still fixed on her horns.
'This woman isn't human...' he thought.
"FuFu... I really am not~!" she said in a languid voice while rising from her chair and walking toward Ryoung.
'She read my mind!?'
Watching the beautiful woman slowly approach him, Ryoung's mind swirled with questions. When Nibel reached him, she extended her hand and placed it over the small glowing orb that he had become.
Just as Ryoung was about to protest, he heard her gentle voice comforting him like a mother:
"You must be very confused right now, but your questions will be answered in time."
Without waiting for a response, she wrapped the small glowing sphere in a strange metallic shell, which quickly took the shape of an ostrich egg. Still holding the egg with tenderness, she kissed the surface of the shell. From her red lips, a faint light emerged, fusing with the crystal egg. Taking advantage of the remaining glow shimmering on the shell's surface, she brought her index finger to her lips and bit lightly, letting a few drops of blood fall onto the egg.
"I await your return, my precious child~!" Nibel said, gazing at the crystal egg in her hand. Then, a strange portal opened beneath her, and she let the egg fall through it.
Looking at the dark hole that had opened in the floor of the room, Nibel tucked a lock of her silver hair behind her ear, a soft smile forming on her beautiful face.

First person…
I feel something warm touching my skin but… Wait!? Where is my skin!?
Where my skin should be, I see strange silver scales with a bit of gold here and there.
I try to examine my surroundings, and soon I see a strange wall wrapping around me.
Is this an egg?!
I'm trapped inside an egg?? Let's see—scales, a strange liquid bathing my body, and a cocoon-like oval shape…
Did I reincarnate as a lizard??
Inside a strange cave, a silver-shelled egg rested atop a small stone altar.
Crash!!
Tiny cracks formed on the egg's surface, and within seconds, a small fragment broke off, revealing to the world a small reptilian eye filled with curiosity and fear.
Nearby, a strange creature moved in a part of the cave untouched by the faint light. As it emerged into the glow, its body was fully revealed—and in the newborn lizard's view, it appeared in all its glory.
'Pheromosa??' That was the first name that came to the little lizard's mind.
In front of him stood a beautiful anthropomorphic creature that nearly reached the cave's low ceiling. Her body, though slim and delicate, exuded a raw power that left the little lizard intimidated. On her head, a shining golden crown gave her a regal air. Two long antennae drooped from her head, passing through the crown and nearly touching the ground. Combined with the white membrane resembling a woman's hair, she looked otherworldly. Her large eyes, like violet gems with blue irises, captivated the small lizard even more.
She drew closer to the egg, causing a wave of panic inside the newborn. But noticing that her eyes held no hostility, his heart calmed. Once she reached the egg—now shattered completely—Pheromosa gently caressed the head of the small creature that had just hatched. As an Ultra Beast herself, she naturally felt a certain affection toward the tiny one before her.
That little lizard was, in fact, Ryoung, now awakened.
Pheromosa's gentle actions left him momentarily entranced.
He had really become a Pokémon? Even better—an Ultra Beast?
But what were Ultra Beasts exactly?
They are a rare type of Pokémon from a different dimension called Ultra Space.
Little is known about the beings that inhabit Ultra Space.
What is known is this: Ultra Beasts are extremely powerful, transcending human understanding.
And Ryoung? He was now one of these creatures.
Enjoying Pheromosa's affectionate touch, Ryoung decided to test this new reality. Like any reincarnated person, he tried the obvious:
'System!' he shouted in his mind.
But even after a while… nothing happened.
'So I don't have a system?'
Even without one, he wasn't too disappointed. Pokémon are extraordinary beings, and as an Ultra Beast, he shouldn't be inferior. Maybe, with a little training, he could reach great heights—even without a trainer.
'It would be easier if I at least knew what kind of Pokémon I am.'
As that fleeting thought passed through his mind, a familiar ding echoed in his head.
[Ding! Skill acquired – Biological Pokédex: allows the user to analyze all previously registered Pokémon.]
Looking at the strange screen in front of him, Ryoung tried again to reach out to his system.
'System?! Hellooo??'
After a while with no response, he gave up.
It seemed his supposed "system" wasn't like the ones from novels or manga.
Strangely, this comforted him. Having a system that hands everything over easily would make this new life lack real purpose.
'As an Ultra Beast, I refuse to grow using rare candy!'
he shouted internally—but his attention quickly returned to the strange Pheromosa now holding him like a newborn baby.
'When did I end up here???'
he screamed in his mind, now staring at the cave ceiling within reach.
'She really is tall…'
Focusing his eyes on Pheromosa, he activated his new skill:
[Pheromosa]
A lifeform from another world. Its body is slim and flexible, yet it possesses great power.
Type: Bug/Fighting
...
'That's it?' Ryoung thought, disappointed by the limited information floating in the air on the translucent screen.
Ignoring Pheromosa—who was now tenderly stroking his cheek—he activated the ability again.
[Ryoung (temporary name)]
No data!
Type: Dragon/Fairy/Psychic
...
"What the hell!?" Ryoung shouted, his eyes locked on the information.
Despite his outburst, all Pheromosa heard was a cute little growl, which she interpreted as a joyful response to her affection—only making her eyes shine even more brightly.
Soon, Pheromosa began walking toward the exit of the cave, still holding the stunned Ryoung in her arms.
'I'm a Dragon-Fairy!?'
he thought, utterly overwhelmed.
Unbeknownst to either of them, a strange fissure was beginning to form in the air—one that would soon mark the beginning of Ryoung's true journey in the world of Pokémon.
