Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

With hands clasped together, an unbreakable bond will be forged at this moment!

"Now that you've made your choices, take your Pokédex and Poké Balls." Seeing that the three had finished choosing, Nanami handed them the three Kanto Pokédexs and five Poké Balls each.

These were clearly carefully prepared by her, and she even used red, green and blue to distinguish the illustrations.

Notably, one of Xiao Mao's five balls shows obvious signs of use.

"You must keep it safe... But we'll probably need the Poké Balls soon, right?" Nanami said with a smile, knowing that their other friends were waiting for them outside.

"Thank you, Nanami-neechan~" *2

Thanks, sis!

"By the way, Ash, if you travel to Goldenrod City, you should go to Silph Company." Professor Oak reminded Ash at this time, "The president of Silph has asked for your opinions on the development of the subsequent games. I think you should talk to him directly from now on."

"I understand." Ash nodded. Goldenrod City and Silph Company were indeed on his itinerary.

His years of preparation before the trip naturally included more than just physical training and finding travel partners; developing additional businesses was also a key focus.

As a programmer who is well-versed in all the settings and parameters of Pokémon, it's quite reasonable for him to create a series of Pokémon games, right?

Based on the Pokédex information, importing parameters such as base stats and abilities, and then writing a few lines of code, creating a script is no problem at all.

The remaining task, naturally, is to find partners in Professor Oak's name to conduct formal research and development and sales.

The reason why the doctor went to Silver Company a few years ago was to discuss cooperation on Pokémon games.

Now that Ash has started his journey, the game has reached its second generation – Pokémon Johto. Apart from not introducing the parameters of legendary Pokémon and making slight modifications to the storyline, it is almost identical to the previous game.

Anyway, there's no girlfriend in this world, and no one will send Xiaozhi a lawyer's letter.

It's fair to say that both Professor Oak's lab and Ash himself have made a fortune thanks to this game series.

Furthermore, many professionals have discovered that, in addition to being entertaining, this game can actually draw inspiration from real-world Pokémon breeding and battling!

Base stats and other parameters can well reflect the strength of Pokémon, and a series of tactics derived from abilities are also widely discussed. The level-up and TM system has pointed trainers in the right direction, so they no longer have to blindly combine moves.

Since the game's release, the overall level of trainers in the Kanto region has improved significantly, a welcome change that has made the Kanto League's top management extremely happy.

Lance even presented Professor Oak with a banner inscribed with eight characters: "Education through entertainment, a contribution to Kanto!"

However, the fact that Silver Company is discussing future plans at this point suggests they haven't secured the copyright for the encyclopedia, so they're unsure of what to do next.

The games for Kanto and Johto are already finished, so any new game would have to be for Hoenn, as completing the Pokédex for other regions isn't that easy.

Xiao Zhi really needs to discuss this matter with them.

While Ash and the professor were excitedly discussing the game, a strange light flickered in Blue's eyes.

Silver Company, that was also a place she cared about immensely…

"It's getting late, you should hurry up and get going... I'll be waiting for your good news at the lab!" Professor Oak gave the three his final wishes and watched them leave the lab...

"Professor Oak, where are my Pokémon? Give them back to me right now!" Just as they were leaving, a grumpy-looking guy finally rushed over, just missing Ash.

Ash wouldn't mistake the familiar outfit and disliked expression from his memory.

Choosing to take Charmander with us was the right decision. Otherwise, were we supposed to just watch it get led away by this guy and then risk being abandoned again?!

Ash had no intention of paying attention to NPCs like Daiyu, who were likely to turn into scum. He, Gary, and Blue arrived at the intersection near the research institute, and a whistle summoned several Pokémon that were already waiting nearby.

"Nido~", "Eek!"

Nidoran, now a grown-up, lingered at Blue's feet for a long time, not even having a chance to greet Bulbasaur, before eagerly asking Blue to catch it and score a goal.

On the other hand, Gary used the Poké Ball he had used to catch the Scyther that flew to his side.

That was the Pokémon that had been with him since he was a child; they had even trained together in the Johto region.

As for Ash, there are two Pokémon waiting for him.

"Pikachu, Pocket, come with me~" Ash took out two Poké Balls and successfully caught his two longest-standing and closest companions.

Pikachu is undoubtedly the god of war, and now that Xiao Zhi has personally captured it, it is certainly a unique experience.

As for the small bag, it is a medium-sized Kangaskhan that has not yet completely shed its infant form.

It and Pikachu were childhood playmates. When Pikachu was still Pichu, it happened to meet Pokémon and was then adopted by Pokémon's mother, living with the Kangaskhan's clan.

They later met Ash, who played with them and trained them to act independently from their mother, thus helping to reduce the stress on the Kangaskhan mother.

In the end, he gained the trust of the mother of the dragon, who entrusted both of her children to him!

And just like that, Charizard, Pikachu, and the future ruler of a generation... Ash's starting three Pokémon are simply too luxurious!

Chapter Twelve: The So-Called Destined Pokémon

Having successfully caught their first fish since leaving the research lab, Ash and his friends arrived at the town entrance to find it already crowded with people who had come to see them off.

Almost the entire town came to see them off. They chattered excitedly about the three children's upcoming trip, and some even put up a farewell banner.

Among the crowd, the most eye-catching person was naturally Ash's mother, Hanako.

Ash and his friends rushed over upon seeing this, and Lyra joined the welcoming party as well.

"Mom, why is there such a big fuss?" Xiao Zhi said, scratching his head, somewhat speechless.

It's just that he's ten years old and leaving home; it's not like he's returning in glory. Everyone's enthusiasm is really a bit excessive.

"Well, everyone wanted to see you off," Hanako said with a smile.

"That's right, we came here voluntarily!" "You three have to do your best!" "When you come back, you all have to be amazing trainers!"

The people who came to see them off started shouting all at once, their voices filled with blessings for the three children.

There's nothing they can do; they're just that popular in town.

Gary is Professor Oak's grandson, Blue has a sweet voice and pretty face and is quite popular, and Ash is definitely the perfect child, possessing an almost perfect hexagonal template~

Almost everyone was convinced that they would bring glory to Pallet Town in the future!

Some even hoped that one of them could achieve the same success as Professor Oak's great-great-grandfather, Shin Oak, who ranked 931st in the Ten Thousand Trainers Ranking, leading to the original White Town being named after him.

"Ash, Blue, and Gary, be careful on the road and remember to call home often."

Finally, the time for parting arrived, and Hanako began to give him endless instructions, her worry no longer able to be hidden.

"We'll definitely keep in touch with home regularly," Xiao Zhi quickly and obediently promised. "Lila, you should also stay home and keep your mom company."

"Okay, have a safe trip, Ash!"

"Auntie and Lila, don't worry, we'll definitely be fine!" Xiao Lan smiled brightly, then tugged at Xiao Mao, "Say something, what are you standing there for?"

"Auntie... thank you and everyone for coming to see us off." Having often eaten at Ash's house, Gary couldn't maintain his aloofness in front of Hanako, his aunt.

The current Gary is very different from the original. Because he grew up competing with Ash, Gary doesn't have the flamboyance and immaturity of the original series. Instead, he has a lot of the introverted nature of the Sinnoh era.

So far, the only thing consistent with the original work is that he dated several girlfriends at the same time.

However, instead of accompanying them as in the original story, they joined the crowd as cheerleaders to see them off.

He also didn't ride in the sports car from the original story, intending to be down-to-earth from the very beginning.

Although Gary can be a bit arrogant at times, Ash is willing to call it reasonable pride.

"Mom, we're leaving!"

After saying goodbye to his mother and a group of relatives and friends, Ash and the other two finally set off, officially beginning their journey in Kanto, the three primary colors of red, green and blue!

...

"Come out, Pikachu, Pokémon, Charmander!"

Walking on the main road outside Pallet Town, Ash left all three of his Pokémon outside and also put a special lightning bolt sticker on Pikachu's Poké Ball.

This way, it will be exactly the same as the original Pikachu!

As expected, Pikachu quickly jumped onto Ash's shoulder and settled comfortably there.

Even though they had been exposed to it for several years, Pikachu still didn't like being inside a Poké Ball, and Ash certainly didn't intend to change that.

Seeing Ash's action, Blue and Gary also released their Pokémon at the same time.

This is a very necessary interaction, especially for newly acquired starter Pokémon. Regularly placing them outside can help them quickly improve their bond with their trainer.

At the same time, it can also respond to some unexpected battles at any time.

"Squirtle, use foam!"

Soon, Gary found his first target to capture. Before the Weedle could even react after being hit by the bubble, it was captured and put into a Poké Ball.

Having waited for several years, and now finally becoming a formal trainer, Gary showed great enthusiasm for catching animals, quickly catching a Rattata, a Pidgey, and a Diglett.

By the way, all his captures followed the standard 'battle-throw' process, which is completely different from some players who succeed by simply throwing the ball.

They encountered several more Caterpie, and just as Gary was about to battle and catch them, he realized that he already had six Poké Balls in his hands and no empty Poké Balls left, so he reluctantly gave up.

"Caterpie, what a pity~" Blue seemed to have noticed Gary's embarrassment and said with a laugh, "It's a great Pokémon."

"Indeed, Caterpie evolves the fastest, and Butterfree is also quite strong." Ash nodded in agreement...

"Who said it needs to evolve?" Little Blue immediately shook her head in rebuttal. "Haven't you heard? If you don't let Caterpie evolve, when its power reaches its limit, it will evolve into the legendary Rayquaza!"

"Hmph, that's obviously just hearsay. Only an idiot like you would believe that." Gary scoffed. "Ash, lend me a Pokémon..."

"Hey, I think you actually believed that!" Seeing Gary catch a Caterpie with Ash's Poké Ball, Blue burst into teasing laughter. "By the way... there's a cancel button on the Pokédex, so if Caterpie can't hold it in any longer, you can help it out~"
