Pokemon: Reborn as Wataru, with Slaking from the Start

A Pokémon fanatic is reborn in a Pokémon world that combines the anime and special editions, and discovers that he has been reborn as Gary Oak from the anime.

By a twist of fate, Gary gets a Slakoth. He swears to learn from the man who once fought Ho-Oh and Lugia one-on-one using a Swinub.

From then on, a man carrying a Huge Power Slaking appears in the Pokémon world, taking down countless legendary Pokémon.

Years later, Gary, who has earned titles like Legendary Pokémon Specialist, Training Maniac, and League Champion, is asked by a reporter:

"What's your greatest achievement?"

"Taking my Slaking and beating that llama. That's my greatest achievement."
