1 Ch.1 An all too familiar world.
*Bang*
A man slumps to the ground as a well-dressed middle aged man stands over him with a pistol in his hand looking at corpse with disdain.
"Louis, how many are left?" The man asks his assistant.
"Just one left boss, after that the city is yours." Louis says with enthusiasm.
"Good, I'm getting tired of dealing with this shit"The boss says as he pulls out a cigarette as he looks toward the door. "how many did we lose this time?"
"Of the forty that stormed the base with us, we lost seven. Our enemy lost around thirty and we have twenty seven captive. What should we do with them Boss?" Louis says as he pulls out a lighter and lights his bosses cigarette.
"Bring me to them. Make sure the families of our seven brothers are taken care of." The boss sighs as he takes a puff. Louis brings his boss to the captured gang members, who are on their knees with their hands bound behind them. They are watched over by several allied gang members with automatic rifles.
"Well lads, you have two options now. Either you join us, as we eliminate the last gang in the city, receiving our life insurance so in the event of you untimely demise, your family will be taken care of. Or option two. You die here, nobody will find your bodies, you will simply disappear from the world with nothing to show for it. You have until I finish this smoke. If you want to join, stand up. if not stay sitting." The boss says as he take a drag.
Despite the offer, only a handful of the bound men stood up, with the allied gang moved them to the side.
"Shame." The boss says as he finishes.
"Whelp, open fire." The allied gang doesn't hesitate as they turn their guns on the sitting captives, gunning them down.
"Louis, get my car. Boys load up, we have one more stop tonight."
-2 hours later-
In a warehouse in the southern part of the city. A meeting is currently going on between the "hero" of our story and the final opposing gang leader of the city. A Russian man name Dimitri.
"You want what?" Dimitri asks in astonishment.
" I want you to turn over all of your properties, legal and not. I want you to tell your men to stand down and surrender, and I want you to remove your index fingers."The boss says as he sits across of Dimitri.
"Hahaha, what is with you Americans and your arrogance, Now why on God's green Earth would I do that?" Dimitri says as a visible vein appears on his forehead.
"Louis, show him."The boss says towards the man standing behind him.
Louis pulls out a smart phone and opens a Livestream of the family of Dimitri bound and gagged with several allied gang members around them.
"How!?! How did you find them?! They're still in Russia!"Dimitri yells in surprise. This brings a smile to the bosses face.
"They were easier to find than you think, but that's not important. Now, will you submit to my demands?" The boss asks with an almost too wide smile.
"You...you bastard. Fine, I'll do as you say, the properties are yours. I'll have my boys stand down. Give me a knife so we can get this over with " Dimitri says as he slumps further into his chair.
"Louis, give him the knife."The boss says as he leans back in his chair.
"Sure thing boss." Louis says with a glint in his eye. Pulling out a knife out and as he is standing right behind the boss, he doesn't even see it coming. "Die" Louis says as he jams the knife into the neck of his now former boss, catching him off guard
"Urk, Louis... you" Louis doesn't let him finish as he pulls the knife out of the bosses neck, making the wound bigger.
"With your death, the gang will be mine, oh no, during the negotiations this Russian pig managed to stab you when you weren't paying attention, but don't worry." Louis pulls out a gun and
*Bang bang bang*
shoots Dimitri several times.
" And I valiantly avenged yo- oh, you're already gone. Hmph, should have done this years ago." Louis says as he cleans the blood off his hands. Only to hear beeping.
* beep beep beep*
" What's that beeping, its coming from the boss, well,former boss."Louis says as he opens his old bosses coat, only to find a box with the words 'Dead man switch bitches' written on it. Seeing this Louis is understandably shocked."Oh you son of a-"
*BOOM*
The box explodes engulfing the entire building....

"So I died huh?" asked a middle aged man to a being of pure light.
"Indeed you have, and quite the common course of death in your line of work. You can call me R.O.B. most people do." Says a being of pure light sitting across from him.
The middle aged man furrowed his eyebrows."Why aren't I freaking out right now?" said the man.
"That's because I halted most of your emotions. Makes things easier for what's to come. Don't worry, they will return after our little talk." said the being as he takes out a file with the man's name on it.
"Ok, so what do I do now?" Said the man with some trepidation in his voice.
"Well, you don't have to do anything. Almost everything that needs to be done will be done on my side. Now let's see what kind of life you will live next. and no, you don't get to choose your world, this does." The being says as he snaps his fingers and a large roulette wheel appears behind him with hundreds of different names that seemed all too familiar.
"Naruto, MCU, Ninja turtle, Transformers, Elder scrolls....Are all these shows and games actually real?" The man says in astonishment.
"Well...yes and no, they aren't just planets floating out in space. They are more along the lines of dimensions that blip into existence once needed. I could send a hundred souls into the One Piece world and that doesn't mean that there are a hundred more people there, there are a hundred more copies of the world, this is so no reincarnators interacts with another. Even if they reach godhood, they are still locked into that plane of existence unless somebody from outside brings them out." Explains the being. "Now, let's see where you will go"
The deity waves his hand slightly and the wheel spins so fast the the names on it become nothing but a blur.
"Aaaaaannnd stop" The being says as he waves his hand again. The wheel slows rapidly until it has picked one name.
:The World of Pokémon:
"Oooh this is one of my favorites." says R.O.B.
The man raises an eyebrow at this, slowly nodding his head. "I can work with this. I was obsessed with Pokémon since the 90's so I should have a pretty good grasp of it. I've read quite a few stories about reincarnation and I gotta ask... do I get any wishes?" The man asks with a half smile.
"Wishes? you get a couple, but don't go overboard " R.O.B. says as he looks as he reads the file
The man nodded his head, And after a couple of minutes of thinking he came up with a few ideas. "For my first wish I would like to transmigrate instead of reincarnate, Don't wanna live as a baby again, ya know."
"Denied. you must be born into the world. other deities would be able to notice and get rid of you , next wish?"Rob says as he shakes his head.
The man nods as if understanding"I would like to get a character customizer so I can change my looks before I go."
"Pick another, I would have given you that anyway."
Nodding at this the man speaks again.
"Ok, I would like to have psychic talent, I always preferred that over aura in the shows and movies."
"Acceptable, next."Rob says as he writes it into the file.
"I would like to keep my memories from my last life as well as being on autopilot till I'm at least a teenager. Being a kid sucks"The man says
"Now we're talking,You'd be surprised about how many people forget to ask to keep their memories and with that we're done. You won't remember any of this conversation but you will have your memories from before you died as well as memories implanted into you so you aren't a total fish out of water. Now, this is where we must part ways, you will create your character before you wake up in the world " Rob says with a wave of his hand a portal open under the man that sucks him in. As the portal closes another one opens above where the man was sitting, dropping out another person, this time a teenager in a track suit.
"Welcome! You are dead!"
•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•
A screen appears In front of the man that was just sucked into the portal with different text boxes such as:
Height:
Sex:
Age:
Hair color:
etc. etc.
The man goes through filling out the boxes and eventually ends up with a life sized model of what he designed with multiple sliders appearing on the side.
After editing everything, paying some special attention to a *cough* special slider. What we are left with is a handsome man , 6' 4" tall, pale skin and black hair that is slicked back, and yellow eyes that seemed to almost glow.
"This'll work nicely" says the man as he presses ' Finish ' .
As he does this he feels the world darken around him as he loses consciousness.
•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•×•
"Man, that was on hell of a nap, wait...where am I? Oh yeah, I died." The man says as he lays there in a bed in a rundown room, digesting the memories flashing in his mind, or at least the memories made for him by R.O.B., He grew up in the Sinnoh region, in Canalave city to be more specific. So to say he had a rough childhood was an understatement. Due to him being on autopilot he was treated as a fool, being abandoned at the Canalave city orphanage at an early age, and not being adopted due to his almost robotic actions. With today being the day before the new year and the eve of his 16th birthday.
"So my name is Arthur, no last name... Might as well take my last name from my last life...Arthur Kozak. That will work." Arthur says as he sits in bed. Getting up he looks at a mirror on the wall seeing a younger version of the character he created. Looking out his window he sees what looks at what seems to be a metal plate with eyes looking back at him.
"Bronzor use hypnosis" says a gruff voice just out of view.
Swirls of light seem to flow out of the Pokemons eyes and hit Arthur as he falls back onto the bed, asleep yet again.
"Well that was easy" says another,younger, voice.
"Reports says he's essentially the town fool, but as per the agreement, we get all kids 16 and up from the orphanages, even the idiots." the gruff voice says "Now go through the window and get him rookie, Team Galactic needs the cannon fodder."
"Yessir".
