The dream of becoming a Pokémon master

On television, astronomy professors and experts predicted that the night would be the day of the full moon. Kyosuke left the other Pokémon, including Dawn and Mai, at home and went to Viridian Forest with only Stinger.

As the first major dungeon Kyosuke encountered on his journey as a trainer, he spent a whole month tackling it, so he was naturally very familiar with Viridian Forest.

Sting was originally a native of Viridian Forest, and his father was one of the strongest in Viridian Forest. Because he was interfered with by Kyosuke during his training, he was later entrusted to travel to various places with Kyosuke, but he still always missed this place.

Just as they left the area of ​​Pallet Town and arrived outside Viridian Forest, Stinger suddenly jumped in front of Kyosuke, changing from following Kyosuke to leading the way, and led Kyosuke inside.

Of course, there's also the reason why Poison Sting clearly understands the reason why the directionally challenged thief is so bad.

Seeing how eager Poison Sting was, Kyosuke felt a surge of joy, as if he wanted to jump up even as he walked on the flat ground.

Following behind Stinger, Kyosuke also passed through the territories he had previously "conquered".

Rattata, Beedrill, Butterfree, Primeape...

This time, Monkey and Infernape didn't dare to come up and bother them again.

Both Nidorino and the human instilled fear in them.

Moreover, judging from their direction... it's obvious they're heading towards Nidoking's territory inside Viridian Forest; they wouldn't dare provoke the overlord.

Walking along the road, Kyosuke looked at the familiar Pokémon and forest scenery, as if he had returned to the days when he first started his journey.

The trees and grass were still lush and green, showing no signs that winter was approaching.

Kyosuke then realized that the Viridian Forest was not simple in any way.

As they continued straight ahead, nearing Nidoking's territory, Stinger began to roar loudly.

"Nido! Nido!"

The voice was high-pitched, as if it could pierce the sky.

The sudden shout startled Kyosuke. He was somewhat surprised, as Sting rarely showed such obvious emotion.

However, he did not expect that such a move would make the weak Pokémon in Viridian Forest think that Nidoking was about to start a great purge, and they scattered in fear, causing some minor trouble for the other trainers in Viridian Forest.

As they approached Nidoking's territory, Kyosuke could see its towering form from afar.

From Kyosuke's perspective, it looks like a head suddenly pops out from the dense forest ahead.

There is absolutely no way to hide it.

Once Stinger and Kyosuke had officially entered the dense forest, Nidoking, the overlord, looked at his son, then turned his gaze to Kyosuke, and after a moment of eye contact, nodded: "Nido."

"Brother, it's been a long time." Kyosuke smiled happily.

Without asking why Kyosuke and Nidorino had returned, Nidoking, the Overlord, turned and walked back.

Kyosuke and Poison Sting followed naturally.

As they walked, the dense foliage filtered through the dappled sunlight, and every now and then, Kyosuke would catch glimpses of Nidorino and Nidorino.

Nidorino and Nidonna both looked at Kyosuke's poison sting with envy.

Kyosuke looked at Poison Sting with a proud expression.

Guessing it might be a secret of the tribe, Kyosuke no longer wanted to investigate further and quietly followed behind the overlord Nidoking.

The final destination was a huge, dark rock.

The enemy is estimated to be five meters tall.

The trees also avoided this area, leaving the large rock exposed to the sky.

This place probably gets the best sunlight in the territory, but there's not a single plant in it.

Stinger watched excitedly as Nidoking, the Overlord, jumped and hopped around, barking incessantly.

Nidoking, the overlord, nodded only after Nidoking had grown tired, stopped, and quieted down.

Stinger became excited again and quickly ran to stand on the boulder.

Kyosuke then came to his senses and quickly took out the Moon Stone that Professor Oak had prepared earlier from his bag to hand it over.

The overlord Nidoking quickly stopped Kyosuke's actions.

Now is not a good time to evolve, and besides, the Moonstone is not actually needed.

Now that he had been stopped, Kyosuke naturally took back the Moon Stone and put it back in his backpack.

Kyosuke didn't believe that the overlord Nidoking would harm Stinger, and as the leader of the Nido race, it might know the best way to evolve.

"Should we just let him stay like this?" Kyosuke asked Nidoking, the overlord, as he watched Stinger standing on the rock with a sacred expression.

Nidoking, the overlord, remained silent and walked in another direction, leaving Kyosuke no choice but to follow.

After turning left and right, the overlord Nidoking stopped.

Kyosuke walked over and stood beside it, and realized that he actually remembered this place.

This is the spot where he and the overlord Nidoking clashed before!

I always thought this place was the same everywhere, but I never expected the overlord to bring him back here!

The tree that Kyosuke had previously stuck in has returned to normal. The reason it was still recognizable was because there were still human-shaped marks on the trunks of the two trees that had been pierced through it.

"Want to go again?" Kyosuke looked up at Nidoking, the Overlord.

"Nido".

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to it too!"

Kyosuke and the overlord Nidoking stand facing each other.

Unlike before, this time there were no other Pokémon watching.

At the same time, Kyosuke also became stronger.

Having changed into a martial arts uniform, Kyosuke stretched his body: "You'd better watch out, my growth is not just a little bit."

The overlord Nidoran did not speak, but he became wary.

After all, Kyosuke's power six months ago had already shocked it, let alone its growth over the past six months.

Underestimating your opponent is the worst thing a strong person can do.

"I'm coming!"

As soon as Kyosuke finished speaking, he rushed in front of the overlord Nidoking, jumped up and punched it in the chest!

Nidoking was no pushover either, and immediately used his claws to block it!

This power!

Feeling the force coming from his hand, the overlord Nidoking knew that Kyosuke's physical strength alone was already on par with his own!

But, it's still a little short!

With increased force, the overlord Nidoking pushed Kyosuke back!

Kyosuke slammed into the ground, and Nidoking, the Overlord, thought the match was over, but Kyosuke's voice came again from the dust: "This is just a warm-up!"

Suddenly, a path leading to the sky appeared amidst the billowing dust, and Kyosuke charged out once more!

"I'm not the same person I used to be!"

……

In the end, Kyosuke lost the match.

The reason was that the overlord Nidoking simply couldn't stand Kyosuke, who seemed to have no stamina, and directly defeated him with his moves.

He took Kyosuke to the river for a bath and asked Kyosuke what he planned to do next.

"Can't we just come back and check on Stinger tonight? Well..." Kyosuke floated in the water, but hesitated about where to go next.

Finally, she made a decision: "Take me to the former territory of the Great Sparrow. That scorched land."
