There was fire. Screams. Metal twisted into ruin. A final jolt of pain—and then, silence.
That was the last thing Philip remembered before waking up.
When his eyes opened again, he wasn't in a hospital bed, or a mangled airplane. He was in a lavish bedroom larger than any he'd ever seen—sunlight poured in from tall windows, and polished marble floors gleamed under a gold chandelier. Velvet curtains swayed with a gentle breeze, and somewhere in the distance, bird Pokémon chirped cheerfully.
Philip bolted upright in bed. His body felt strange—lighter, smaller. He scrambled to the mirror.
A ten-year-old boy with silver-blonde hair and sharp blue eyes stared back at him.
[System Activated: Welcome, Philip Clark. You have been reincarnated into the Pokémon World.]
A glowing blue interface hovered before him. He blinked in shock, reading through it.

He wasn't dreaming. He had died—and been reborn into the Pokémon world, the son of one of the richest and most powerful families on the planet.
The Legacy of Titans
The doors to his room opened with a soft click. In walked a tall, silver-haired man dressed in a dark battlecoat. His steps were deliberate, and his eyes—cool and calculating—seemed to weigh the strength of everything they saw.
Louis Clark, his father. A global legend. Trainer of six Champion-tier Pokémon:
Salamence, the apex dragon of the skies
Metagross, the tactical iron mind
Tyranitar, the living earthquake
Regigigas, the colossal force of nature
Thundurus, the storm-bringer
Darkrai, the shadow of nightmares
"You've awakened," Louis said, his voice measured. "Your aura is stable. That's good."
Philip didn't know what to say—part awe, part familiarity. The new memories merging with his old ones made it feel… right.
"Your aura is rare, like mine," Louis continued. "That's why it responded to the egg you found."
The Bond Forged by Aura
Three years ago—when Philip was just seven—he had wandered through the Clark family's mountain estate on a solo hike. There, deep in the woods, he found it: a cracked, glowing egg hidden under thick vines. His aura reacted to it immediately.
He brought it home, and days later, the egg hatched into a baby Riolu.
The connection was instant. From that day on, the two were inseparable.
Now, as if on cue, Riolu entered the room silently, standing tall beside his bed. His eyes gleamed with intelligence far beyond his age.

Philip knelt and placed a hand on Riolu's shoulder. "Ready, partner?"
Riolu gave a firm nod.
The Champion Matriarch
Before Philip could say more, another voice floated into the room. Gentle, soothing, yet full of quiet power.
"Don't forget who trained him in the first place."
A woman with flowing golden hair and emerald eyes entered. She radiated warmth, but also the subtle energy of someone used to commanding legends.
Celeste Clark, Philip's mother—known as the Mistress of Grace, and a champion-tier trainer in her own right.
Her team was a blend of power and beauty:
Gardevoir, her loyal psychic guardian
Gengar, a master trickster of the shadows
Lapras, her glacial transport and battler
Dragonite, her sky-splitting ace
Milotic, unmatched in poise and strength
Blaziken, a blazing inferno of martial arts
She knelt to embrace Philip. "Today's your birthday, my heart. And your destiny begins."
Gift from Kalos: Froakie
After breakfast, in the central courtyard, Celeste handed him a Poké Ball wrapped in blue silk.
"From Kalos," she said with a knowing smile. "You always wanted one."
Philip eagerly released the Pokémon.
In a flash of light, Froakie appeared—bubbly and alert, white frills clinging around its neck like foam armor. It tilted its head, analyzing its new partner. Then it leapt onto Philip's shoulder with a satisfied chirp.

Philip laughed, eyes bright. "You're perfect."
One Final Night
That evening, the Clark family sat for one last meal before Philip's journey. The vast dining hall glowed with candlelight as Louis recounted tales of the Kanto region's fiercest gyms, while Celeste shared advice on handling wild Pokémon with empathy.
"You'll be heading to Pallet Town tomorrow," Louis said. "Professor Oak will register you officially."
Celeste added, "Another boy will begin his journey there too—Ash Ketchum. Watch him."
Philip arched an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because," she smiled, "sometimes a spark from the smallest ember can start a wildfire."
Departure
The following morning, the estate gates opened. A sleek black limo awaited him. With Riolu by his side and Froakie tucked comfortably in his scarf, Philip took one final look at the estate.
Louis placed a firm hand on his shoulder. "Power is your birthright. But strength of heart makes it worth having."
Celeste kissed his forehead. "And never forget, love—you're not alone."
As the car pulled away, the system chimed again:
[Main Quest Unlocked – Rise as Kanto Champion]
Bonus: ???
Hidden Quests: 3 (Undiscovered)
Challenge Level: S
Philip looked ahead, eyes sharp with determination.
"I died once. I won't waste this second life."
And so began the rise of Philip Clark, aura-bound prodigy, son of titans, and future legend of the Pokémon world.
