Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

The best defense is offense.

Furthermore, Bangilas has another characteristic.

That's big!

An average Bangalore is about two meters tall.

If he develops well, his maximum height could reach 2.5 meters, or even 3 meters.

Its enormous size helps other Pokémon defend themselves.

... ...

On the screen, Tyranitar swept its thick tail, knocking a rock off the mountain in front of it.

Bangilas picked up the large rock and took a bite.

It made a tooth-grinding sound.

This video was clearly filmed from a distance.

Because although Tyranitar is strong, he has a bad temper.

The stronger a Pokémon is, the worse its temper tends to be; this seems to be a theorem.

Tyranitar is so strong, but not many trainers use him.

Besides being bad-tempered and disobedient, he has another flaw.

That means eating a lot.

If you don't have the ability or financial means, you really can't afford to raise a Tyranitar.

Haoyan didn't think these two shortcomings were a big deal.

Even the wild, fire-breathing dragon was tamed and made obedient by him.

As for exploiting this weakness, just take on more bounty missions.

Once he becomes the dojo master, the problem will naturally be solved.

Hao Yan is becoming more and more satisfied with Bangiras.

... ...

The only thing missing now is to find the habitat of the Young Gilas; Haoyan only knows that they appear more often in the Johto region.

However, its exact location is still unclear.

Hao Yan does not intend to directly capture the evolved Tyranitar.

Feelings should be nurtured from a young age.

After closing the data, Haoyan quickly found his contacts.

Send a video to Professor Oak.

Professor Oak is one of the top researchers of Pokémon.

They should know where the Bangia's habitat is.

As soon as Haoyan started the video call, Professor Oak answered immediately, and his face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Professor Oak," Haoyan greeted him with a smile.

"Ah... it's Haoyan." Professor Oak saw Haoyan in the video and felt a glimmer of hope.

There was a lingering worry between his brows.

"Is Professor Oak having some trouble?"

... ...

Chapter 105: A Second Trip to the Kanto Region

Besides looking off, Professor Oak had very dark circles under his eyes.

He looked very tired.

"Professor Oak, what happened?" Haoyan asked him.

At Professor Oak's lab, Professor Oak generously shared a lot of information about Pokémon with Haoyan.

These materials are very valuable.

Therefore, if Professor Oak encounters any difficulties, Hirohiko will not hesitate to help.

"Hehe, it's nothing." Professor Oak forced a smile.

Changing the subject, he said, "By the way, Haoyan, what did you want to see me about?"

Since Professor Oak didn't bring it up, Hirohiko didn't press the issue further.

He replied, "I would like to ask you where the Young Gilas' habitat is, and I would also like to learn more about the different changes the Young Gilas undergo at different stages."

"Okay, I'll send you the information in a bit."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Professor Oak chatted with Haoyan for a few minutes, sent the data to Haoyan, and then hurriedly hung up the video call, as if he was waiting for someone.

... ...

Dr. Oak abruptly ended the video call, leaving Hao Yan no time to ask further questions.

Haoyan pressed a button on his computer and initiated a video call with another person.

This person definitely knows what Professor Oak is worried about.

Soon after, Nanami's face appeared on the screen.

Like Professor Oak, Nanami's brows betrayed an unconcealable worry.

Haoyan went straight to the point and asked the question right away.

"Nanami, has Professor Oak run into any trouble lately?"

"It's...nothing...troublesome."

Nanami seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Hao Yan roughly guessed what was going on.

He shouted loudly to the door, "Xiaolong, Xiaolu, Xiaoou, come in!"

The three Pokémon that were training outside the institute all came to Haoyan's research lab when they heard the sound.

I stood silently behind them.

Nanami on the screen was very surprised, looking at Gardevoir and Lucario, whose auras were much stronger than when she had seen them at the research institute.

Charizard, one of the starter Pokémon in the Kanto region, is very familiar to everyone.

Especially Charizard's wild eyes and gray-black skin are very different from ordinary Charizards.

“Your Pokémon all look really powerful,” Nanami said sincerely.

"So, can you tell me now what trouble Professor Oak is in?" Haoyan asked Nanami.

What could trouble Professor Oak is not an academic issue.

Professor Oak's hasty hanging up of the phone just now clearly showed he was waiting for someone.

It's likely that his grandson, Qinglu, encountered some kind of accident.

On the screen, Nanami slowly spoke, "As you know, Haoyan, I have a younger brother who is traveling and training in the Kanto region."

"To ensure his safety, we always ask him to call us every three days to let us know he's safe."

"But now six days have passed and he still hasn't called."

"And every time we call him, we find that no one answers."

"Later, his phone was simply turned off."

"So, we're a little worried that something might have happened to him."

Just as Haoyan had predicted, it was exactly the same.

"So, do you know where Qinglv last appeared?" Haoyan pressed.

In the video, Nanami shook her head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but the last time he called, he said he was going to check out Shion Town."

"But...maybe he'll be there..."

... ...

As Nanami spoke, a mechanical female voice echoed in Haoyan's mind.

The system has sent a task!

[Mission Objective]: Go to the Kanto region and rescue Professor Oak's grandson, Blue, who is being controlled by Team Rocket.

[Task Reward]: 5000 reward points.

[Punishment for mission failure]: None.

... ...

“Okay, I understand. I’ll head to Kanto right away.” Hao Yan said without any hesitation.

As a matter of course, Professor Oak shared valuable information with him, so it's only right that I help him out.

Personally, the 5000 reward points are crucial for Haoyan!

If he completes this task, he will now have a total of 10000 points.

Once he collects 15000 points, he can exchange them for a Mega Stone, which can be used to Mega Evolve a Pokémon.

... ...

"Really... really okay?" Nanami couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will bring your brother back safely," Haoyan said.

"Yes, it's so great to have your help!" Nanami in the video was visibly more excited and said gratefully.
