Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Professor Oak, where does Charmander live?" Hao Yan asked Professor Oak.

"Wild Charmander?" Professor Oak's expression clearly showed some curiosity, but he still answered truthfully, "You can encounter wild Charmander deep in Viridian Forest."

"Deep within the Viridian Forest?" Hao Yan frowned slightly.

While in Pewter City, Brock mentioned that in Viridian Forest, he had encountered a Team Rocket executive with Elite Four-level strength.

They had already given up on their plan to go to Viridian Forest in search of white vanilla.

But unexpectedly, the wild Charmander happened to be inhabiting the Viridian Forest.

It seems I have no choice but to go to Viridian Forest this time.

"You want to catch a wild Charmander?" Professor Oak couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes." Haoyan nodded.

That's right, the Pokémon Haoyan wanted to catch during his trip to Kanto was Charmander.

Charmander can evolve into Charizard.

The attributes of fire and flight are quite unique.

Pokémon that combine the Fire and Flying attributes are quite rare.

Charizard's powerful wings allow it to fly for extended periods of time.

Fire-type can fill the attack gaps of Lucario and Gardevoir.

Another point is that Charizard, like Mewtwo, is one of the few creatures capable of Mega Evolution, possessing two different Mega Evolution modes.

A handsome and imposing appearance, coupled with great potential, is exactly what Haoyan needs.

Actually, Haoyan didn't have to go through all this trouble.

Although he was not born in Kanto.

However, as long as he pays 200 million to the league, he can obtain a spot in one of the three starter families.

He spent a lot of money on the skill machine and the vacation before, but he can still afford to spend two million.

But when he saw the Charmander in Professor Oak's breeding facility, he gave up the idea.

Charizards should be unruly.

Even before they evolve, their personality can still reflect some of it.

But here, he couldn't see a trace of wildness in the little fire dragon's eyes.

It's possible that the Charmander in Professor Oak's research facility is intended for use by new trainers.

After careful selection, we chose a gentle-natured little dragon, and then trained it regularly.

This led to a reduction in the wildness that lurked within them.

To put it simply, the little fire dragons here are like flowers cultivated in a greenhouse.

This does not meet Haoyan's requirements.

Each trainer has limited energy and cannot train indefinitely.

Therefore, you must choose carefully.

... ...

Afterwards, Professor Oak continued to show Hirohiko around the rest of the research institute.

Chapter 50 Embarking on a Journey to Viridian Forest

Time flew by, and Hao Yan spent a whole week at Professor Oak's research institute.

During this time, I have been absorbing Professor Oak's research on Pokémon.

Professor Oak was very satisfied with this diligent and studious 'student'.

He selflessly shared a wealth of valuable information with Haoyan.

... ...

At this moment, Haoyan was hunched over a table, flipping through the contents of some documents.

"The beards of the Lada people are not hair, but organs."

"Beards are the most sensitive organs of the Rada's tactile senses, and many sensitive nerves are distributed on them."

"The Lada people use their beards to determine wind direction and location."

"It can even function as radar at night."

“If the beard breaks, then Rada won’t even be able to maintain its balance.” Hao Yan turned to the last page of the document in his hand.

"The Dumbshell Beast has two pairs of eyes, one on its face and another on the shell behind its tail."

"The shell on the tail of the Slowbro is part of its body."

"When encountering danger, the Slowbro will rotate the shell on its tail to check if there is any danger behind it."

"In other words, if the Slowbro wants to, its field of vision is 360 degrees."

"The energy of the Slowpoke was struck in its tail, which is why it uses a hard shell to protect the vital parts of its body."

After Haoyan finished reading the document, he stretched.

Professor Oak has a deep understanding of Pokémon, especially those from the Kanto region, which he studies in great detail because it is convenient for him.

Professor Oak has detailed research records on all the Pokémon that have been discovered in the Kanto region.

Within a week, Haoyan had thoroughly memorized these materials.

“It’s time to say goodbye to Professor Oak and head to Viridian Forest.” A different kind of light appeared in Hao Yan’s eyes.

These days, Haoyan has been reviewing a large amount of information.

Having confirmed the habitat of the wild Charmander, he prepared to go and capture it, completing the most important task of his trip to Kanto.

Just then, Nanami walked over.

He said to Haoyan, "Haoyan, it's time to eat."

After spending these days together, Nanami finally understood why Haoyan, at such a young age, could chat so easily with her knowledgeable grandfather.

Because Haoyan is a self-discipline fanatic!

Aside from my regular exercise, I spend the rest of my time in the research lab, reviewing materials.

Learning is not a pleasant process.

But Haoyan would stay there all day long every day.

Moreover, the learning process is highly efficient.

She admired this immensely.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Nanami." Haoyan stood up and walked out of the research room.

... ...

"Professor Oak, thank you for taking care of me this past week."

"The information you shared has been incredibly helpful to me!" Hao Yan sincerely thanked Dr. Daiki at the dinner table.

Not everyone is willing to selflessly share the results of their hard work with others.

Professor Oak is such a respectable teacher.

"Are you leaving?" Professor Oak asked with regret at Hiroyuki's departure.

Professor Oak has enjoyed his time with Hiroyuki.

Whenever Haoyan encounters a problem he doesn't know how to solve, he will take the initiative to ask questions.

Furthermore, the viewpoints and the direction of the questions were things he had never considered before.

During Hiroki's studies, Professor Oak is also learning from Hiroki.

Learn from his logical thinking in viewing things.

How could a teacher not like a diligent and studious student who can inspire them?

"Okay, I'll go to Viridian Forest first, and then I'll go back to the Hoenn region."

"This trip took quite a while, it's time to go back," Haoyan replied.

"Alright." Professor Oak felt regretful, but he also knew that Hao Yan wouldn't stay long.

In fact, Professor Oak had tried to speak up several times during this period, hoping that Hao Yan would stay in the lab and explore the mysteries of Pokémon with him.

Dr. Oak believed that at this rate, Hiroki would be able to achieve his goal in less than a year, no, in just six months.

Haoyan will definitely be renowned throughout the Pokémon world for his extensive knowledge.

It's a pity that Haoyan's ambitions don't lie in research.

Instead, he wanted to be a trainer at the very top of the pyramid.

Professor Oak sighs whenever he thinks about this.

It's a pity that I only met Haoyan so late.

"By the way, you said you were going deep into the Viridian Forest. Let me remind you, be careful."

"Deep in Viridian Forest, there are many Pokémon that live in groups and have a strong sense of territory."

“Once you step into their territory, they will attack immediately.”

Professor Oak paused for a moment, then said with a hint of anger, "Furthermore, besides wild Pokémon that are more aggressive, you need to be extra careful around people!"

"I've heard more than once that there are evil Team Rocket members lurking there."

"Those scum are capable of anything!"

Haoyan nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I will be careful!"

Although Haoyan had defeated Cuckoo of the Kanaz Gym and Brock of Pewter City before.
