Guan Liyuan was full of expectations when he saw Professor Oak's research institute. He hoped that the Pokémon would be enlarged in the same proportion, and it would be better if it was more "ferocious"...
But obviously his hope was dashed!
[Why is this the only one that is exactly the same as expected! ] Guan Liyuan looked at the cute Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in front of him, and kept roaring in his heart...
"How is it? Aren't they cute creatures? Decide which one you want to choose as your partner?" Professor Oak said on the side.
"..."
"Is it difficult to choose? You can also consider it for a few days before leaving."
This is definitely not the treatment of an ordinary new Pokémon trainer... Before seeing Professor Oak personally bringing Guan Liyuan to select the initial Pokémon, many researchers were wondering whether this young man who seemed to be underage was very important...
[Of course I am very important! I'm not afraid to tell you that I am the legendary "noble administrator"! ] Guan Liyuan said this in his heart.
"Doctor, can't you be more generous? I'm not just an ordinary new Pokémon trainer. Giving me all three and some legendary Pokémon as gifts is the treatment that netizens deserve, right?" Guan Liyuan bargained with Oak. "
Mythical Pokémon? I don't have the information on the legendary Pokémon I want, so where can I find legendary Pokémon for you? As for the initial Pokémon... this is issued by the Quartz Alliance. I also spent a lot of effort to forge your identity to get this one for you. And do you think this is what all 'ordinary' beginners have? Don't underestimate them. If you train them well, they definitely have the potential to reach the top!" said Professor Oak.
Guan Liyuan certainly knew this. Although his impression of the first Pokémon was very faint, he knew that the "Big Three" in each region had the potential to be trained, especially the Big Three in Kanto. As long as they get the corresponding Mega Evolution Stone, they can also undergo another Mega Evolution after two evolutions! "
Even if the initial Pokémon is not possible, don't you have other powerful Pokémon in your hometown?" Guan Liyuan was still not giving up.
"This is a research institute, there aren't any powerful Pokémon here... By the way, I can make an exception and give you the map file function, so you can see the Pokémon types that often appear in your area!" said Professor Oak.
Guan Liyuan thought about it, this is not bad... It's better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish! With a map, he can do it himself...
Guan Liyuan looked at the map function on the map book that looked like a "handheld game console", and then said with a trembling eye: "Professor Oak, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that there are only some common Pokémon branches on it, right?"
"Ahem, that's right, because some of the rarer Pokémon are in the 'protected area', and only powerful trainers recognized by the alliance are eligible to enter... Of course! In fact, there are also some rare Pokémon that live outside the protected area, but the branches are sparse, so they are not marked on the map!" explained Professor Oak.
"Can't I go through the back door?" Guan Liyuan already knew that Professor Oak still had some status in the alliance, otherwise he couldn't forge an identity for himself.
"There's really no way, at least you need to have more than eight gym badges to qualify for the special protected area..." Professor Oak said in embarrassment.
"More than eight gyms?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion. He vaguely remembered that there were only eight gyms in Kanto!
"Oh, right, you don't understand yet? This is a custom in our world. There are many gyms in various places, which recruit trainers and welcome other trainers to challenge... and the strongest gyms will be granted the qualification of "Alliance Gym" by the alliance. Only gyms with this qualification can provide gym badges.
In the Quartz Alliance, there are about 20 Alliance Gyms in Kanto and CD! Because the gym qualifications are re-qualified every year, the number fluctuates. In addition to allowing you to enter and exit special protection areas, gym badges are also linked to the qualification to enter the Alliance Competition!"
Although Guan Liyuan was not impressed by the plot of the first two Pokémon movies, he knew that this was definitely different from what he remembered!
"Only by successfully challenging the gym can you get the badge? The strength of the gym... should be very strong, right?" Guan Liyuan asked.
The twenty or so "official qualifications" that countless "wild gyms" in a region competed for are not something that ordinary rookie trainers can defeat, no matter how hard you think about it, right?
"Of course it's very strong... Do you really want to challenge a gym? Generally, no one would do that unless they are seeking revenge or want to replace them..." Oak said speechlessly.
"How do you get the badges?" "
The gym will designate the appropriate trainer in the gym as your opponent based on the number of badges you already have. Unless you have more than ten badges or want to challenge the gym, the gym owner will not personally take action." Oak said.
Guan Liyuan nodded in understanding...
"So, as an 'online user', I really have no extra advantages?" Guan Liyuan stared at Professor Oak and said.
"This... Don't you have a unique rune skill?"
"That's my own ability... It's not given to me by a 'online user'!" Guan Liyuan continued to stare at him.
Professor Oak's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "By the way! You can communicate with 'Pokemon' telepathically, right?"
"Yes, I have the skill of 'telepathic communication'..."
"Then this may be useful to you!" Professor Oak went to the equipment beside him and took out something that looked like amber. A small piece of stone was wrapped in the yellow amber.
"What is this?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"Amber... amber wrapped with active ancient elf fossils! Preliminary judgment is 'fossil pterosaur'!" Professor Oak said.
"Huh? Give it to me as a souvenir?"
"Of course not, take this and my letter of introduction to the director of the Fossil Museum in Nibi City, Datian, and he will help you use the museum's 'active fossil resurrection machine' to revive the fossil pterosaur in it." Professor Oak said.
"Can fossils really be resurrected?" Guan Liyuan's eyes widened.
"What do you mean by 'really'? Of course it can, but the premise is that it is an 'active fossil', which means that all the Pokémon information and unique spiritual fragments of the Pokémon in its lifetime are preserved, and it cannot be due to death... But let me tell you in advance, the Pokémon information and residual spiritual fragments of the 'fossil pterosaur' in this piece of amber, according to previous analysis, should be an adult fossil pterosaur, which is already very powerful and difficult to be subdued by humans.
Usually after resurrection, it will only choose to leave... So you must try to communicate with its spiritual fragments in advance. If you can't communicate with the spiritual fragments, then don't try to revive it." Oak said.
"I think it's reliable!" Guan Liyuan said after staring at Amber for a moment.
He had just activated the "Telepathic Communication" skill and felt a faint spiritual feedback. Although it was not like the reaction of communicating with normal creatures, it was much weaker and more vague than that, and even the feedback signal was meaningless, but Guan Liyuan knew that as long as he continued to convey goodwill, it should be fine.
"Okay, then you choose the initial Pokémon next." Professor Oak said.
"Then... Charmander!"
As for the Poké Balls, Oak instinctively took out only six ordinary ones at first, but changed his mind under Guan Liyuan's gaze.
In the end, Guan Liyuan embarked on the journey with Charmander, active amber that preserved the fossilized pterosaur, hundreds of Poké Balls of various levels and types, various medicines for Pokémon, compressed biscuits for human consumption, etc.!
"The goal is to become a Pokémon Master... No! It should be 'capture Pokémon suitable for being summoned beasts'!"
