A Real-World Pokemon Life That Began in a Bathroom

Hinata Yume, your average high school student!

While he was in the bathroom, reality and the Pokemon world suddenly merged.

Everyone was thrilled, except him.

Why?

Well, Hinata Yume never had Pokemon in his childhood!

...And later on, as the journey expanded, there was one more person who wasn't happy and was just eating his fill and waiting to die.

His childhood friend could chatter away at him like a nagging mother, slowly fish beneath the glares of a whole bunch of Gyarados, then toss the Golden Magikarp he caught back into the water with a look of disdain, before turning around and asking what they were having for dinner.

“...So even after all this, you still won't stop being an avid fisherman?”

Hinata Yume was at his wit's end. His mouth twitched as he thought back over how things had gotten to this point...

How did it come to this...?

P.S. In a sense, this has two male leads, or perhaps one important male supporting character. A lucky fisherman and an unlucky wisecracking sidekick.

P.S. After reading so many Pokemon-in-the-real-world stories on various sites, I wanted to write one of my own. But to be clear, the protagonist's ambitions aren't that great. This isn't a competitive journey to become Champion, and he's not particularly interested in catching Pokemon. I just want to write a little story about an ordinary person spending time with Pokemon.

P.S. Pokemon in the real world will definitely come with plenty of creative changes (like having more than four moves), so don't assume all the game rules apply!! Updates whenever inspiration strikes.

Theme: At its heart, this is a story about companionship
