The Tyrant of Sinnoh (Pokemon: Tyranitar SI)

When you relax and kill time with video games, the last thing you'd expect is to be digitized, sucked into your phone, and transmigrated into the avatar of the game you were just playing.

For three months, I'd like to think I've acclimated well to my new environment: the caverns. While barren of civilization, dark, and damp, it poses no issue thanks to the enhanced physique I inherited in exchange for my humanity.

Life as a Tyranitar is… oddly swell. No bills, no mortgage, no debts, and no societal obligations. Though I occasionally feel a sense of loss, I've long accepted my new reality in this bizarre world as a twelve-foot-tall Godzilla-like creature.

Food? I can eat raw meat—whether it be bugs, bats, mammals, or reptiles.

Sleep? My thick, durable hide makes even the sharpest rocks feel like pillows.

It also helps that potential predators think twice before approaching me. And if one or two are foolish enough to try, a playful smack usually knocks some sanity in their mind.

I didn't eat them, if the carnivores back home are deadly in the long run, then imagine the parasites of another world.

It also helps that it copes well with my morality.

I don't kill unless necessary; this place is empty enough as it is. Unnecessary violence against my neighbors is a fool's errand. Yet, despite the abundance of bats and rock-based species, meat is surprisingly scarce.

Growl…

As my stomach rumbled, I sighed and stood from my rocky bed. The ground quaked slightly under my shifting weight, and my head nearly bumped the stalactites of my narrow dwelling. Letting out a groggy yawn, which came out more like a low growl, I slowly lumbered forward. The natural hallway ahead gradually widened as I exited my humble abode.

Ignoring the scurrying sounds of nearby Pokémon, I headed straight to where my favorite prey resides. After ten minutes of navigating the cave, I arrived in a smaller, more confined system. The density of Pokémon thinned as I approached the western side of the mountain, a promising sign that my quarry was close.

But then, something unexpected happened.

I tilted my head, sensing a disturbance in the modified 'sandstorm' I constantly emitted—a Pokémon had carelessly triggered one of my alarms.

"GARCHOMP!"

The roar was my only warning before the walls around me imploded. Gibles and Gabites burst out, mouths wide and ready to attack.

Lightly swatting the larger ones aside, I ignored their feeble attempts to bite through my armor-like scales. These weren't strangers—they were familiar faces from Pokémon Unite, the very game I was sucked into.

Before I could call out, the leader of the pack—a Garchomp—emerged from the ground beneath me in an explosion of rock and debris. The Gibles and Gabites followed, launching themselves like earthbound sharks.

Caught off guard by the landslide, I slid to the side as they swarmed me. Thrashing, I lightly flung the little ones before I reacted to the Garchomp that charged at me, with its glowing blades aimed at my neck.

With a swift motion, I caught both of its forearms in an X-shape with my one massive hand, halting its momentum effortlessly. With my bulk and amplified Curse Energy rendered its attack futile. I confidently smiled in amusement at its surprise, as I judo-threw the bipedal shark into the air with raw strength. Leaping after it, I noticed the rest of the nest around me hesitate.

The Garchomp recovered quickly, zigzagging towards me with its blades and jaws glimmering with potent Curse Energy. Countering with a shoulder tackle I learned back in my time in gridiron football.

I knocked the wind out of it. Grasping by its waist, my arm engulfed its midsection entirely as my biceps tenses. I spun in a one-eighty and charged forward, deliberately avoiding any more casualties as I dragged the struggling Pokémon with me.

It bit down on my left shoulder, its eerily shining teeth barely denting my hide, as we smashed through towering stalagmites before colliding against the cavern wall with a booming crash.

Standing over the unconscious Garchomp, I scrutinized its battered form. Scarred, malnourished, and lean—it was clear this creature had seen better days.

"GARRRR!"

A Gabite roared behind me, its dorsal fin bearing a noticeable cut. The younger Gibles followed its lead, some managing to unleash flames in a sloppy imitation of Dragon Breath that I oh so recognize from the it's game counterpart. The attack surprised me—not because it hurt, though it does by a fair bit.

Annoyed but relatively unharmed, I crouched to shield the unconscious Garchomp with my body, as I subconsciously activated my Iron Defense to amplify the durability of my hide and muscle. The onslaught lasted a minute or two before the Gibles collapsed, steam rising from their mouths, their energy spent.

The remaining Gabites and Gibles looked to one another in confusion. Before I let out an ear-splitting roar, rushing forward with speed and agility that defied my massive frame. Knocking out the Gabites with a few well-placed smacks, and as always, sparing the children with my rough housing, by the end of it I was left huffing in irritation in this one-sided battle.

Walking away from their cave, I roared outside from the mouth of their nest, a warning to any opportunistic predators. Though I preferred my solitude, I couldn't bring myself to inadvertently wipe out an entire clan over a senseless skirmish.

So I stayed a day or two, hunting a Mamoswine to feed the young. We are barely interacting as most of the time their heads lowered as the sounds of submissive hiss reach my ears made me... Uncomfortable, once the parents recovered enough to defend their territory, I left without a word, never to return.


That encounter, however, taught me a crucial lesson: some techniques can bypass my only defence, and that made me wary. Perhaps... Circling my CE did raise the firmness of my bulk, but it does little to no help against the more... Esoteric kind.

I need to experiment.

Author note: The Mc is not the biggest pokemon fan, thus he has little to no reference to the world of pokemon so any techniques he learned were reference from other franchise... Such as Typing, Aura, and Moves were called Curse Techniques and such.

So if you're confuse with the terminology he used, know that he only knows Pokemon Unite thanks to their similarities to League of Legends.

This looks really interesting for pokemon stories. I'll stick around to see where it goes.

Edit! I'm surprised he did so well against a horde of dragons, even if they were malnourished.

What about pokemon moves that a tyranitar learns instinctively?

There's a three month time skip that I'd gradually reveal during the chapters, as to not add unnecessary filter or destroy the natural flow of my narration.

He already did a modified sandstorm, a tackle, screech, and iron defense in a deferent description to fit the narration.

He's an alpha, not that he knows that as he assumed that it's his species natural mass and weight, in his view; the Tyranitar in the game were adjusted to the game's perspective and functionality, thus it's questionable at best just like the fact that there are more than four skills that he could learn.

Spoiler: Spoiler

He never encountered another Tyranitar since he's somewhere where his species aren't native.

Larvitar need to consume a mountains worth of dirt, rock, ore, etc. to evolve. His species is one of living mountains in the shape of a lizard a few feet tall.

Say, is he gonna keep growing till he reaches the size of those giant pokemon? Would it be possible to improve minimize to the point he can go from a few hundred meters to a few feet tall? What about the opposite?

He did ate those, it's how he excavated his cave to live in and quickly evolves in the span of 3 months.

Alpha versions are just bigger than it's other counterpart, which is 6 ft. While he is a little over 12 ft, despite the fact that he has the power to reshape the mountain he resides, I don't think one could Gigantimax without outside help. Unless there's something I'm not aware of.

Yeah, but are they as big as the anime ones? Like that Dragonite that was larger than a lighthouse on top of a cliff?

Eh, it's a gradual increase that dramatically slow down, not gonna spoil though. Perhaps in the end.

In the anime, that giant Dragonite was centuries old, iirc. I doubt we will be seeing that kind of growth from the MC any time soon.

So at most he'll grow a meter a year?
