{author note: just to let you know, I did make some adjustments to the last chapter, so if you've read it I would recommend rereading it}
Location Ash house
< Ryuga Pov>
Ryuga: [sigh] ' If you're wondering why I was straightening my jacket and why I may appear nervous or why my hands feel a little clammy, it's because of this man in front of me.' I thought while looking directly at the man who appears to be decently height wearing a simple leather red jacket blue jeans a pair of sneakers with his famous hat if you haven't guessed who then I'll say one more thing he is the myth the legend the one person we all speculated to be Ash's father Red yeah I know it's cliche but it just makes the most logical sense even if it didn't does it matter? I'm standing right in front of them.
Red: "You must be Ryuga Ash's friend, he's in the back."
Red: "You must be Ryuga Ash's friend, he's in the back." He said, tilting his head towards the backyard, wearing a slight smirk at the corner of his lip that shows he might be amused.
Ryuga: "ye..yes im Ryuga has Gary arrived?" Ryuga said while stuttering and slightly shifting his left foot and leaning more of the right, and showing that he's nervous
Red: "No, he has not arrived yet. If you're still around during lunch time, you're more than welcome to join us," he said, slowly turning around and walking back to the house. Ryuga slowly follows and heads to the back, where he can hear Ash. It's not his first time in this house, he's been to both Ash's house as well as Gary's also been to his house; they've been childhood friends ever since they were babies literally
We can see Ash running around in the backyard, seemingly the be playing tag by himself until he spots are protagonist and runs over, only stopping a few inches away from our MC jumping around with his Boundless Energy that he is known for
Ash: "Hey, Ryuga, let's play tag. Gary is probably going to be late like always." he said before sprinting away without giving Ryuga the chance to say anything. he turns his head while running and says, "Oh, one more thing, you should join us for lunch. Mom's making a delicious." Before he can even continue what he was saying, he trips over a root and face plants... let's take a moment of silence for the Fallen.
While the MC goes and helps Ash up, let us take a peek at what Red is doing inside the bedroom, shall we?. If we were to go up the stairs we would be able to see pictures of red when he was younger pictures with his Pokemon friends and family lots of pictures while going upstairs if we were to look down the hallway we would be able to see three doors on the right and one door on the left assuming we take a logical guess the one and only door that is closed at the very end of the hallway on the right side should be their room so let us silently find out what they could be doing shall we.
We are slowly approaching the door. There seems to be some sort of muffled sound, but if we were to look inside the room, what we would see would be quite surprising, considering their kids are just in the backyard.
Red: heavy breathing "you like that huh, don't you"
Delia: choking "!@!ye%$+÷yes#@*"
Ryuga: 'Why do I feel like something just happened? That I shouldn't know about' I thought, looking around suspiciously, but before I could get two caught up in my thoughts, I was rudely interrupted by a high-pitched arrogant voice which could only belong to.
Gary: "What's up losers, the king of fun has arrived," Gary said, being fashionably late. I sweat drop at the thoughts of him break dancing, such a random thought begone.
Ash: "You're late and you're not the king of fun if you're the King of Anything, you would be the king of losers," Ash said, sticking out his tongue and running away instantly while laughing because Gary starts chasing after him
Gary: "Ash!!!! Come back here."
Ash: "hahaha"
Ryuga: 'I look around and surely wonder if this chaos is truly my friends? I couldn't have done better, look around at the chaos surrounding me well...what's the saying again if you can't beat them join them right?' I grinned
Now that we're backed to POV 3 we can find them having fun and playing around Ryuga is finally acting his age he's had a shoulder a burden since he's come to this new world he's not been getting a lot of sleep lately because of his dreams which you might be asking what dreams well I will show you it's time for flashback no Jutsu
#1 Flashback
We see the mc in his bed tossing and turning stretching curling up his face is scrunched up he's sweating like a pig about to be slaughtered signs of a nightmare I'm sure if we were to dive into his dreams what we would see might be surprising he seems to be surrounded by a completely black void one might even think he's by himself but if you look closely you can notice that not that far in front of him there is an entity shrouded in mystery that has the same body shape no that isn't correct it should be said that he may have the same body shape but he gives us a completely different vibe like a predator hunting his prey and the MC is that prey
Mc: "why do I keep being dragged here every time I go to sleep lately I can't get one good night" I shouted Into the Dark Void "I'm getting so fucking! Fed up with this" 'I know someone's there' "Come out!! I feel you every time I'm in this place." It's as if I'm being watched.. no, it's more like I'm being hunted evaluated
???: "You are pathetic, you are not worthy of the title Dragon Emperor. Do you truly believe you have what it takes to live up to our Legacy,"
I turn my head left right up down no matter where I look I can't see who's talking damn it you don't know me you do not know me
Mc: "Where are you? Come out and stop hiding, coward. You don't know the first thing about me. You think saying all of that, scares me?" I said we'll continue to look around my body tensing as if prepared to fight
???: "On the contrary, I do know you. I know everything about you. I've seen your memories. A poor, sad excuse of a person. All you ever amounted to was bringing pain to your family. Being pathetic, you couldn't even end your own life. Died by eating a sandwich? Haha." The voice mockingly laughs at me
???: "you can't do anything correctly you have no worth everything you've ever did was given to you in this life and the next life have you ever truly worked for anything? how do you expect to become the Dragon Emperor when you can't even do anything by yourself the Dragon Emperor is more than just a title it's a decoration of who you are who you will be and who you will become you're supposed to stand at the top with no equals and yet you think you can become the dragon emperor without effort without struggle without blood or sweat without the struggle those are all a part of what means to become a Dragon Emperor you don't truly understand what it means you might have the appearance you might have knowledge about this world but you don't truly understand what it means to be the Dragon Emperor!!."
Mc: "Yeah, and why do you think you know so much about being the Dragon Emperor, huh? You're a fragment of my imagination, this is all just a dream anyway!!" I said Well, slowly turn towards a Direction and see a figure slowly walk out of the Fog, but the figure I saw was not what I expected. It was..
???: "It's funny really you claim to be a fan yet you don't even recognize the voice of that person you're trying to impersonate, so much you truly disgust me, and I'm not just a mere fragment or imagination, you're the one who asked for me didn't you Donovan."
The person in front of me is Ryuga, the real living breathing Ryuga? But how
Ryuga: "Does it matter how you're the one who asked for it? Didn't you want to be me so badly? Don't you remember he said there will be consequences, and yet you accept it because of your native.
In fact, what's stopping me from taking over this body and becoming whole?" he said, smirking the bastard
Mc: "You!"
Ryuga: "me"
To be continued

Arthur note I'm being honest I don't know if I will do the MC personality combined with Ryuga because I don't think I'm talented enough for that unless I can think of something I have a slight idea but I don't know I would love for some suggestions though tell me your thoughts about this chapter
