On a quiet afternoon, a young man—an avid Pokémon fan—was walking down the street, headphones in, humming the tune of his favorite battle theme, excited about the upcoming Pokémon game release.
Suddenly, he noticed a little girl unknowingly wandering into the path of an oncoming truck. Without hesitation, he dashed forward, adrenaline surging. In one swift motion, he pushed her out of harm's way—only to be struck himself.
Time seemed to freeze. As he lay in a growing pool of blood, pain numbing his body, he turned his head slightly to see the girl sitting up, unharmed. A faint smile crossed his face. At least… she's safe… he thought. He felt sadness too—not for himself, but for the Pokémon game he'd never get to play. With a bittersweet sigh, he closed his eyes.
But fate had other plans.
What he didn't know was that the girl he saved wasn't an ordinary child—she was a goddess in disguise, sent to test the hearts of mortals. And he had passed. His selfless act had earned him something beyond life: the chance to be reborn… with three wishes of his choice.
