Third Person POV

???: "Hyoudou, you really gotta stop doing this"

It was a bright daytime, with the sun casting its warm rays through a window, illuminating a cozy room where two individuals were seated at a table, facing each other.

The first person was a bespectacled young woman, exuding an air of intelligence and grace. She possessed a slender figure, complemented by her sleek black hair styled in a chic bob cut. Her captivating violet eyes were accentuated by a pair of stylish glasses.

Seated across from her was a teenage boy who had been a source of constant frustration for her over the past week. Despite his average stature, his short spiky brown hair added a touch of energy to his appearance. Two distinct locks of hair framed his head, lending him a distinct charm. His light brown eyes displayed a mixture of mischief and curiosity.

The boy sighed.

Boy: "Stop being such a stick in the mud, Prez"

Hearing this caused the girl to raise her eyebrow in both confusion and slight anger.

Girl: "Excuse me why do you think I'm a stick in the mud? your the one at fault here, Hyoudou!"

The boy's name was Issei Hyoudou, an ordinary high-school student with no particularly remarkable qualities. He resided in a quaint town called Kuoh, located at a considerable distance from Tokyo. Though not densely populated, Kuoh boasted a few notable landmarks.

One such place was the town's plaza, a bustling hub surrounded by a multitude of restaurants, shopping malls, and a grand clock tower at its center. It served as a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.

Kuoh also boasted a picturesque park adorned with lush trees, verdant grassy fields, and serene ponds teeming with various creatures such as ducks, fish, and other aquatic life.

In addition, there was another park featuring a small playground equipped with slides, chin-up bars, swings, benches, and everything a child could enjoy.

For those seeking entertainment, there was a gaming center where people could gather to play video games and socialize. Adjacent to it was a karaoke establishment, allowing visitors to showcase their vocal talents.

Notably, there was an aquarium that housed a diverse array of marine life. While relatively small in size, it offered a pleasant atmosphere for visitors to explore and admire the wonders of the underwater world. Additionally, a street in the town led to several adult-oriented hotels, catering to a different clientele.

Undoubtedly, the heart of the town revolved around the esteemed Kuoh Academy, named after the town itself. Originally an all-girls private school, it underwent a significant transformation, becoming a co-educational institution with the construction of a new school building.

Kuoh Academy comprised various divisions, including the primary division, high school division, and even a college division, catering to students of different age groups.

Issei: "Come in, Prez. Can't you overlook this incident just this once?"

The girl let out a sigh, as Issei and two others were infamous throughout the school as the "Perverted Trio" or, more accurately, the enemies of all women. This group of mischievous boys took pleasure in peeping on the girls, particularly targeting the Kendo Girls group.

Girl: "You know I cant, Hyoudou. Your already on thin ice as it is"

Issei: "This isnt fair!"

Issei slammed his fist onto the desk, taking the girl aback by his sudden outburst because she fully expected him to get on his knees and beg for her to not do anything like suspend or expell him.

Issei: "I didnt even do anything, I was just watching a cool stunt video!"

This caused the girl to raise an eyebrow, that wasn't what she was told. She was told that Issei was peeping in the Kendo girls again, yet here he is saying that he was only watching a stunt video?

Girl: "Show me your phone"

Issei, reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He handed it to the girl as it turned on, showing YouTube and in fact, there was a stunt video on it which was only at 30 seconds out of 20 minutes.

Girl: "So you aren't lying..."

Issei: "Why would I lie!?"

The girl gave him a expression that said "Really" as she handed the phone back to the boy.

Girl: "I'll be having a world with the Kendo Girls but that diesnt give you any pass to peep on other girls"

Issei sighed.

Issei: "Yeah, yeah. Can I go now?"

The girl stared at the boy, wondering why did he have to be so perverted. Like she believes that if he wasnt and actually studied, then he could become the talk of the school. By appearance stand point, he didnt look so bad. In fact, the girl will admit that if she and him met each other as childhood friends than she would probably fall in love with Issei.

While yes, she doesn't have any feelings for him.... probably. She will say this, out of all of the boys in the school, Issei would definitely be a good fit for a boyfriend since he seems like the type to actually care for a girl and give them a fun experience, not the bed type but an actual one.

Unfortunately, all he was is a perverted boy who only thinks of woman's breast. This has definitely dropped his chances of getting a girl to the negative department.

The girl sighed.

Girl: "Hyoudou, can I ask you something"

Issei, who was ready to leave the room looked at the girl while tilting his head a little.

Issei: "Yeah, Prez?"

Girl: "Why are you so perverted?"

Issei was confused, but he soon smirked.

Issei: "Because I'm gonna be thr Harem Ki-"

Girl: "No!"

Issei blinked.

Issei: "No?"

Girl: "Tell me.... the real reason"

Issei was taken aback by this, the real reason for his actions at achool. The real reason why he is the way he was, why he decided to become the enemy of all woman.

Issei: "The real reason...."

He sighed.

Issei: "I guess it has to do with thr fact that... I'm scared"

Hearing this confused the girl, Scared? why was Issei scared?

Girl: "Scared?"

Issei nodded his head, his gaze moving away from her and onto the window that was next to them as it showed the front of the school, many students chatting and hanging out with their friends.

Issei: "I'm scared that when I die, it will be for nothing.... like my life had no purpose to it"

He looked back at her.

Issei: "I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was...."

The brown-haired boy then chuckled a little.

Issei: "If my legacy has to be me being a perverted lover than... I'm fine with that"

The girl fell silent, no words dared to come out of her mouth was her thoughts were going into overdrive from what Issei had jusy told her. This whole time, the real resson why he is the way that he is now, is because he feels being forgotten.

A terrifying memory, one that many have at some point though about. No one wants to be forgotten, but not many can leave their mark on the world so they do whatever they can to be remembered by those around them.

Whatever it takes....

Girl: "I see, you scared of being forgotten..."

Issei nodded.

Girl: "Well, that is certainly a reason why you are a pervert, but I want you to know something, Hyou-no Issei...."

Issei looked at the girl, who grew a small gentle smile as her violet eyes gazed into his brown ones.

Girl: "You are destined for something greater and you know it too, you just haven't found it yet"

Issei's eyes widen from the words, him? destined for something greater? no, this had to be a lie because there's no way that he could be right.

Issei: "R-really? you really think so?!"

Girl: "I do..."

She then pointed at him.

Girl: "You just need to find your fire..."

Issei: "My fire...."

(Time Skip Brought to you by me wondering what the fuck I just made)

Blood.

Pain.

Agony.

The night was cold, the sky that was once bright blue had now turned into one of pure darkness. The only source of light that filled the endless black abyss was the few stars that dotted around.

Things weren't going well for Issei Hyoudou  as he was experiencing so many things at the same time, all while he layed upon the ground with a gaping hole in his chest, his own crimson-red liquid pouring out like a raging waterfall.

Why? why was this happening to him? Where did it all go wrong? he didnt do anything and now he was dying, and to think it was taking place in his own date.

(Flashback)

The bell had rung, signaling the end of school times. Issei packed up his things into his backpack and started to make his way out of school.

He waved goodbye to his two friends as they went their separate ways, while it sucked that they lived in different parts of the town he was glad that he can see them whenever he desires.

As Issei was walking toward his home, he made his way onto a bridge. He soon stopped when he noticed someone up ahead of him. The person was a beautiful young girl with black hair and violet eyes.

Issei: 'Woah, she's beautiful'

However, something about her didn't feel right to Issei. He wasn't sure why, but her uniform looked pretty strange. He didn't recognize it at all, plus as far as he can recall there was only one school within Kuoh and that was Kuoh Academy. Unless this girl attended a school outside of the town, the chances of that are highly unlikely.

It just didn't seem right to Iseei.

???: "E-Excuse me, are you Issei Hyoudou from Kuoh Academy, right?"

Issei: "Um, yeah. That's right"

Issei was taken aback by this sudden revelation, how the hell could this girl know his name? last time Issei checked he wasn't popular at all so that was out of the question, maybe she knows about his name because he and his friends were pretty Infamous.

The girl smiled at Issei, at first glance one could not tell if the girl was giving a fake smile or a genuine one.

Yuuma: "Well, my name is Yuuma, and...I have been hearing a lot about you"

Issei: "Really?"

Yuuma nodded.

Yuuma: "Yeah, a friend of mine has told me that you were quite smart. Looking at you in real life, I can clearly say that you look pretty handsome"

Issei couldn't help but blush slightly from the black-haired girl's words, he wouldn't call himself handsome. After all, a certain pretty boy named Kiba takes that cake and turns it up to twenty. Great, now Issei feels like he needs to bleach his brain for thinking that.

But it felt nice hearing himself being called handsome by someone else, besides his mother.

Issei can't recall the number of times he has heard his mother called him her "Handsome Young Man" or "Handsome Baby", those were totally embarrassing.

Issei: "Um, thanks. But I take there is more to this?"

Yuuma giggled slightly.

Yuuma: "Well I was just wondering if you would want to take me out on a date this Sunday?"

When she said those words, Issei's eyes widen to the point that they nearly popped right out of his skull. Those words totally caught him off guard, those were the words he never expected a woman to say to him.

With him being a pervert and all to try and not be forgotten, he always had thought that he would be unpopular with women forever, like it will be his curse to steer women away from him. But to hear someone wanting to take him out was surprising, Issei was so shocked that he had no idea what to say.

Unfortunately, before he could do any logical thinking his dumb hormones, and pervertedness took control of the situation.

Issei: "Totally!"

Yuuma smiled and thanked Issei, she then told him that they would meet at the Kuoh Park on Sunday. With that she left, Issei didn't have a single clue on why someone like her would want to go on a date with a pervert like him.

But he wasn't complaining.

(Flashback End)

Issei: 'I was such a fool...'

Issei coughed as blood escaped from his mouth, he could feel his life slowly fading away.

Issei: 'Am I really going to die like this? Alone and pathetic and a giant virgin?'

Those were Issei's first thoughts as he was dying, the fact that he was a virgin. If he knew that this was his last day he would have done anything to lose his V-card before now.

Issei slowly raised his hand up, seeing that crimson red covered his hand.

Blood.

His Blood.

His hand began to tremble as his body started to go into shock. What kind of messed up way to die was this? Here he was, a gaping hole in his chest. Courtesy of his girlfriend, or should he call her his former girlfriend now? She had stabbed him after all.

It hurt so much.

The weird thing was, that wasn't the weirdest thing about her. She may have stabbed him, and sure she was a bitch for doing so, but she had stabbed him with some mysterious spear of crimson light.
But that was nothing compared to what happened before that, she grew a pair of black wings. Issei remembered every inch of those wings, the color of them was as black as the night sky.

Now that he thought about it, they weren't devil wings as he originally first thought upon seeing them. They were more angelic than anything, however, they had been pitch black, not pure white as one would expect from an angel.

Maybe a Fallen Angel?

Issei: 'Fallen Angel...sounds perfect for her'

A small chuckle escaped from Issei's mouth. Suddenly, his hand collapsed down to his side splattering in blood pool around him. His chest burned as it heaved trying to take in air but with his current punctured lung, that wasn't going to happen.

Issei: 'S-shit...'

Tears welled in the corners of his eyes, he didn't want to die, he was scared that no one will remember him once he dies. He was scared that everyone he kniws and loves will just move on, without giving a single care about him.

But everything hurt so much, he just wanted the pain to stop. The intense burning that was in his chest stopped as his body began to feel cold, really cold. He felt so cold that his breath could become visible to others if anyone decided to show up.

Issei grimaced as he looked up at the afternoon sky above and as the remainder of his strength began to leave him and his vision began to darken, it looked like it was now his time.

Time for him to die.

Issei: 'I Guess this really is my end...'

With that, Issei's eyes closed shut and he allowed the darkness to take him away. Maybe it was for the best, maybe when he is reborn he will have a better life where he won't make the same mistake as he did in his previous one.

He wasnt sure what was installed for him, but maybe it will be the purpose he had been seaking. Maybe it will be the "Something Greater" that Sona mentioned at school, who knows.

Something greater....

....

....

....

???: "Awaken, Issei Hyoudou...."

Issei's eyes instantly shot open as he sat up in a cold sweat, coughing heavily into his hand as some remnants of blood landed on his palm. The brown-haired boy began to breath as much as he could, his eyes darting around the area with a mixture of confusion and fear in them.

Did he just die? was this heaven? no, was it all a dream? No, it couldn't of been a dream because his current location wasn't his room. In fact, he didn't know how to describe what he wws currently looking at.

He found himself on top of some stairs, thousands upon thousands of pillars scattered across his field of view as he noticed clouds moving through them. One thing for certain was that it wasnt Kuoh, nor was it his bedroom because he could physically feel the stoney ground beneath his hand.

Issei didnt dare utter any words, unsure what to say as his thoughts came rushing back to him. He immediately chest his body and to his surprise, there was a large scar where he had been pierced by Yuuma's spear, this caused the boys body to tremble in fear as it was all true.... he had died.

This was Heaven....

He was no mo-

???: "Issei Hyoudou...."

Freezing in place, the young boy slowly turned his head in the direction of the booming voice, his heart pounding with anticipation. As he shifted his gaze, he found himself face to face with an extraordinary being beyond his wildest imagination.

Before him stood a creature of magnificent splendor, a sight that left him awestruck. Towering at an impressive height of approximately 10 feet, the creature commanded attention with its regal presence. Its body, predominantly white in color, was adorned with ornate golden plates and intricate rings, adding an air of opulence to its form. The creature possessed a sleek and graceful quadrupedal physique, with slender legs that terminated in elegant hooves, speaking of both strength and grace.

The creature's head was a sight to behold. Adorned with a prominent golden cross-shaped feature, it extended upward to form a crown-like structure, further emphasizing its majestic nature. As the boy's gaze shifted downward, he noticed a long, flowing mane cascading down its back, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the creature's already resplendent appearance.

The creature's eyes, bright blue and filled with depth and wisdom, seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. They captivated the boy, drawing him into their profound gaze. At the center of its abdomen, a large, golden wheel-like object commanded attention. Adorned with four mesmerizing green jewels, the wheel enhanced the creature's divine-like aura, radiating a sense of otherworldly power.

In that moment, the boy's world expanded, as he stood in the presence of a being that defied his understanding of reality. Every detail of the creature's appearance, from its majestic stature to the intricate embellishments, spoke of a being of unparalleled beauty and grandeur.

Issei: "W-what the fu-"

???: "Thou, not be afraid. I am no threat to you, Issei Hyoudou"

Issei silently gulped as he took a step back, almost falling down the stairs which seemed to stretch for miles downward.

Issei: "W-who are you!? where am I?!"

???: "You are in the Hall of Origins, my domain and for who I am..."

The creature lowered its head to Issei.

Arceus: "My name is Arceus, The God of Pokémon"

The.

God.

of.

Pokemon?

(Before anyone ask, I'm having it so Pokémon isn't a thing in this world)

Issei: "P-pokémon? what's that?"

Arceus: "You will learn in time, but for now I must deal with you"

Issei silently gulped to himself.

Issei: "S-so, why am I here? arent I dead?"

Arceus nodded.

Arceus: "You have died, indeed. But it isn't your time, you still have much to do..."

Issei: "M-me? but I'm nothing but a no good perve-"

Arceus: "Enough!"

Issei was taken aback by Arceus sudden outburst as everything ground the boy began to shake and rumble, the deities booming voice echoing throughout the air.

Arceus: "You were unpopular, not because of selfishness but because you feared something that many do. You feared that you would not leave a mark on the flow of history, that nothing you do would create a tale of your legacy"

Arceus gaze soon softened.

Arceus: "Which is why I shall give you a new life, a new beginning to make your own legacy"

Issei's eyes widen.

Issei: "W-what, seriously!?"

Arceus nodded.

Arceus: "Indeed, normally I wouldn't do this for a human but...."

Arceus looked away for a moment, his soft gaze still laid upon the boy before him.

Arceus: "I owe a favor to someone who helped me long ago, to this very moment I pondered how to help that being..."

Issei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, someone helped a God?

Issei: "Someone helped you? who?"

Arceus: "His name was-"

???: "Its been a while, Arceus..."

Perking up at the new booming voice, Issei's attention was immediately captured as a raging inferno materialized behind him, seemingly out of thin air. Instinctively, he swiftly moved away from the intense flames, shielding himself to prevent any potential harm. However, to his astonishment, nothing happened. The flames did not scorch him, nor did he feel any heat.

Perplexed, Issei slowly lifted his gaze, his eyes fixated on the source of the inferno. Through the roaring blaze, a pair of mesmerizing glowing green eyes pierced through the chaos, captivating his attention. As the flames subsided, a colossal figure emerged, surpassing even the legendary Arceus in height and magnitude.

Before him stood an awe-inspiring creature—a massive western dragon of unimaginable proportions. Its body was adorned with dark crimson-red scales, gleaming ominously under the light. Gray horns adorned its head, accentuating its fierce and majestic countenance. The dragon's eyes, a glowing shade of yellow, seemed to hold ancient knowledge and wisdom. A light brown underbelly provided a subtle contrast to its otherwise dark exterior, while a long, whip-like tail swayed gracefully behind it, adding an enigmatic touch to its formidable presence.

Issei's eyes widened in disbelief as he beheld the sight before him. It was undeniably a dragon—a magnificent, awe-inspiring creature of legend. The enormity of the situation hit him, and he couldn't contain his astonishment. "A fucking dragon," he exclaimed, his voice filled with equal parts disbelief and awe.

The extraordinary encounters he had experienced so far—a Fallen Angel, a God—had already pushed the boundaries of his understanding. But now, confronted with the sheer reality of a literal dragon, Issei's day had taken an even stranger turn, leaving him in a state of bewilderment and wonder.

Arceus: "Ah, Ddraig. Its certainly good to see you again... Old Friend"

Ddraig: "It's good to see you as well, how's your children?"

Arceus: "They are well, but Palkia misses you"

Ddraig sighed.

Ddraig: "You know, for the Pokémon of Space. She certainly doesn't know when to give me mine!"

Arceus couldn't help but chuckle.

Issei blinked for a moment, very confused about what was going on. Arceus said that he was gonna give the boy a second chance at life because he owed someone a favor.... was this dragon named: Ddraig that being?

Issei looked at Arceus.

Issei: "Um, who is this?"

Arceus: "His name is Ddraig Y Goch otherwise known as the Welsh Dragon, a old friend of mine"

Ddraig looked down at Issei.

Ddraig: "So, you were to be my partner, gotta say your kinda smaller than my previous ones"

This gained Issei's attention as he looked at the dragon.

Issei: "Partner? what do you mean by that?"

Ddraig: "That's right, you dont know yet. Can't say I blame you...."

He let out a small sigh.

Ddraig: "To put it simply, the supernatural world is real and lives side-by-side with the humans, Boy"

Issei: "W-wait, so Yuuma isnt the only thing out there!?"

Ddraig nodded his head.

Ddraig: "Yes, she isnt. There are also regular angels and Devils too, something you will have to worry about. Actually, you would of had to worry about them but...

Ddraig's gaze moved from Issei to Arceus, staring into the divine beings blue eyes.

Ddraig: "I take that you have other things planned?"

Arceus: "Thou, be correct, old Friend"

Ddraig chuckled as Issei turned to the God of Pokémon.

Issei: "Wait, does this tie into my second chance?"

Arceus: "Yes, Issei Hyoudou. Because you will have a new life.... in the world of Pokémon"

Issei was shocked, he was being reincarnated into a whole other world. He was basically being Isekai'd, except he doubts he'll be one of those overpowered types that he keeps seeing.

Ddraig shook his head with a smile before he looked at Arceus with a look of seriousness.

Ddraig: "So, the fact that your helping my partner is because of the favor you owed me.... I guess this means your still full of rage"

Arceus remains silent as he looked away from the two for a moment, that was all tbat Ddraig needed to hear as he sighed.

Ddraig: "Even after a thousand years, you still haven't changed. Your so full of rage, anger, and fury that I can feel it from here..."

Arceus: "My friend, please..."

Ddraig exhaled a puff of smoke, raising one of his arms and rubbed the back of his head.

Ddraig: "Alright, I wont continue since your doing this for the boy.... but there's one condition!"

Arceus: "And that is"

Ddraig pointed at Issei.

Ddraig: "I'm coming with him"

Both Arceus and Issei's eyes widen from Ddraig's words, the duo had their own reasons for this sudden action. Issei was surprised that he was gonna have a huge bloody dragon coming with him on his little Isekai adventure, maybe this will be his "Overpowered" ability.

Arceus wad shocked because he's trying to wrap his head around the fact that Ddraig either forgotten or just doesn't care about his current situation, he wasnt the same welsh dragon he met a thousand years ago. Arceus can tell, since he is with Issei.... Ddraig is no longer alive, well to put it in better terms, he no longer has a physical body.

Ddraig was just a spirit or rather a ghost, his soul inhabited something which was keeping him from fading out of existence. The God of Pokémon wasn't sure hoe this happened to his old friend, but he guessed that those so-called "Three Factions" had something to do with it.

Arceus: "Ddraig, thou can't be serious. With your current situation, yo-"

Ddraig: "Arceus, you know what you had missed over the past thousands years?"

Arceus shook his head as Ddraig let out a small sigh.

Ddraig: "I have spent a thousand years, going from host to host and doing the same thing over and over again. I bet my rival, I lose to my rival...."

Issei: "You've grown bored, have you....?"

Ddraig nodded his head.

Ddraig: "Yes, normally I sleep but I question.... is this my legacy? is this all I shall be remembered for?"

Issei: "I know the feeling...."

Ddraig looked down at Issei.

Issei: "I was a pervert, I peeped on girls. Many automatically assume because I am just evil but... I was scared, scared of being forgotten. I was scared of not leaving my mark on the world, but...."

The brown-haired boy looked back at Arceus.

Issei: "Arceus is giving me a chance, a second chance at life...."

Issei turned and looked at Ddraig, the boys eyes filled with determination as a smile grew on his face.

Issei: "I'll wanna the very bes- No, since you gonna join me..."

He then held out his fist.

Issei: "WE'RE be the very best, like no one ever was!"

Ddraig stared at the boy, a small chuckle escaping his throat as he grew a grin which revealed his sharp teeth. He returned Issei gesture, the duo fist bumping one another.

Arceus stared at the two and couldn't help but smile at the beautiful sight before him, maybe he wont regret doing this....

Arceus: 'Maybe I should let go of what happened all those years ago....'

....
