That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Gym Leader

Twenty-nine-year-old Ethan Kelly is your average discord moderator, who is content in the satisfaction of harnessing imaginary power to his own disposal, save for his missed opportunities to lock down even a single meaningful relationship throughout his life. In addition, he is a shut-in, who are often ostracized and looked down upon by society.

On his weekly run to the convenience store, he found the resolve to attempt something heroic--saving a kid from being run over by a drunk driver at the cost of his own life. However, in a twist of fate, he awakens in the Pokemon world as Gary Oak, the grandson of the revered Kantonian Professor Oak.

Preserving his memories and knowledge acquired from his previous life, Ethan quickly manages to adapt to his new environment and circumstances. With the mind of a grown adult, Gary's typical behavior and personality are drastically transformed, differing from his usual demeanor known from the Pokemon anime and games.

As Ethan's second chance at life begins, he tries to make the most of his new opportunity while conquering the shortcomings of his previous unfulfilled life. And perhaps, one day, he may capture the one thing that eluded him in his own world--love.
