The dream of becoming a Pokémon master

"Who exactly are you?" Shiba asked Kyosuke, coughing up blood as he detached himself from the wall and lay on the soft cushion.

He sensed a conspiracy, a conspiracy against him. Had the League been infiltrated, his secret mission exposed, and the enemy already aware of his 4:30 PM training habit, deliberately sending someone disguised as a rookie trainer to approach and assassinate him? But where did the enemy find such a powerful individual? The League had no record of it. Could it be human modification?

Shiba's thoughts drifted further and further away. As Kyosuke put away his three Pokémon and walked towards him, his thoughts drifted further and further away, as if death was drawing ever closer. His heart was gradually filled with despair.

If only I had brought a main Pokémon with me, I wouldn't be in this awkward situation. If I survive this, I must always have a main Pokémon with me from now on. Not bringing a Pokémon was my biggest mistake right now. Shiba was on the verge of tears.

Then Kyosuke walked right past Shiba without even glancing at him.

Shiba didn't feel much emotion at being reborn; instead, her doubts grew, and she finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who I am?"

"Fighting King Shiba, huh? It's so obvious, and you didn't even try to hide it." Kyosuke casually remarked.

"So you didn't come here to kill me?"

"Why would I kill you? Just because you provoked me? I'm not that petty."

"Then, who exactly are you?!" Shiba asked the ultimate question of the day.

Upon hearing the question, Kyosuke stopped and turned around, replying seriously, "A rookie trainer passing by, remember that!" Then he continued walking out of the gym through the main gate.

Finally, Shiba also learned why he had walked in his direction.

……

"Oh dear, I was just trying to train my body peacefully, but I ended up running into the Elite Four. Is something big going to happen in Viridian City? But I'm still a kid, so I'd better grab my badge and get out of here. This kind of event is not for me to get involved in." Back in his room, Kyosuke released his three Pokémon, placed the incubator with the eggs next to his computer, and then sat back down at the computer, searching for information while complaining about what had just happened.

Although Kyosuke himself is very strong, he still believes that since he has become a trainer, Pokémon-related matters can only be resolved by the trainer, while interpersonal matters can be handled by him.

As a new trainer, focus on earning badges and participating in the League Tournament; don't be too overly ambitious.

Moreover, this is the time to collect information.

The forums that Kyosuke frequents are mainly the "Kanto General Forum" and the "National Exchange Forum".

Despite his exceptional physical abilities, Kyosuke only has basic computer skills. Therefore, he can't access other regions to search for information and can only browse local forums. "National Exchange" is actually a small forum, perhaps more accurately described as a "Chuunibyou Gathering Society," a place where boastful individuals from various regions gather to chat and joke.

When Kyosuke was looking for information, he naturally opened the news section of the Kanto Headquarters first.

"The dragon envoy visited Chengdu and established a new link of peace and friendship between Northeast China and Chengdu."

"Pokémon League strikes with iron fist: A large number of members of the evil Team Rocket organization are arrested."

"The 30th Pokémon Psychic Tournament in Saffron City was a complete success."

"Things are still peaceful lately," Kyosuke remarked, looking at the pile of messages pushed by the official channels.

Of course, he knew this would be the scene before him, and he was already getting visually fatigued.

"As expected, gossip is my only true love." Kyosuke closed the news and opened his favorite gossip section.

A flood of messages came rushing in.

"The pretty girl next door that I like is going on a trip tomorrow, and I'm only eight years old. What should I do? I need help urgently!"

Why do my Poké Balls never hit Pokémon that are already unable to battle?

"Family fortunes have declined; the family heirloom master-crafted ball is practically giving away for free. Come to my door with your offer; serious inquiries only!"

Kyosuke glanced at it and first opened a few continuously updated pinned posts.

Legendary Pokémon Sighting Records Compilation

Interesting Urban Legends You've Heard (Mythical Beasts Edition)

If you had the chance to tame a mythical beast, which one would you want? And how would you do it?

Kyosuke is a loyal fan of these three posts, and challenging mythical beasts is his pursuit. He will definitely want to try it whenever he has the chance.

He opened the first post.

In the Kanto region, there are only three legendary Pokémon: Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, and most of the sighting records in the posts are about them. However, most people's replies are things like, "I saw XX bird when I looked up last time, so cool!", which doesn't help Kyosuke at all. On the other hand, many people saw Ho-Oh flying over Viridian Forest last time, and some even took pictures.

Ho-Oh sightings have been recorded in various locations, but there are more in the Chengdu area. This is probably because Chengdu was also a historical location.

Kyosuke flipped directly to the last page to see the latest news.

There are three that are considered highly credible.

Some people saw lightning and thunder at the unmanned power station, but dared not approach. When the lightning finally disappeared and they tried to get closer, they saw a Zapdos fly out. However, since it had already flown away, Kyosuke didn't bother to go and see.

Someone claimed to have encountered a blizzard while climbing a snow-capped mountain, but was saved by an Articuno. This aligns well with common knowledge about Articuno. Kyosuke also asked the original poster which snow-capped mountain it was, but the poster remained silent. Kyosuke had no choice but to keep it as a backup target, paying more attention to snow-capped mountains in future trips.

Finally, there's a record of a Moltres sighting on Cinnabar Island. Apparently, someone tried to find and challenge the legendary Cinnabar City Gym, but failed. Disheartened, they went to check out the volcano on Cinnabar Island, and just then, they saw Moltres fly out of it.

Although the story was rich and engaging, it drew a lot of criticism, mostly from people on the southern islands. They argued that Moltres was their region's iconic Pokémon and would never go to a run-down place like Cinnabar Island. Once regional discrimination took hold, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the flame war escalated until people were banned.

But this didn't affect Kyosuke. He was planning to challenge the Crimson City Gym anyway. It was a good opportunity to look for the legendary Moltres along the way.

Close the eyewitness post, open Urban Legends, and well, there's still no update this week.

Next, let's open the final amazing post: "The King of Talk: We Can All Capture Mythical Beasts" series.

However, there were still many serious answers, such as the top-voted answer: No matter what legendary Pokémon it is, just throw a Master Ball at it.

Although most of the posts are unrealistic fantasies, many of the methods are still worth learning from. For example, Kyosuke's plan to capture legendary Pokémon is based on the idea of ​​capturing baby legendary Pokémon.
