Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

Lars froze for a moment, realizing that he had subconsciously used the doubles match as his starting point.

After all, he had never played formal singles before he crossed over. They were all entertainment singles games like drawing attributes. He only had a general understanding of the training ideas of singles, not in-depth.

In the Pokémon world under the animation worldview, singles is the mainstream, and there is almost no soil for doubles, so it is not suitable to use the doubles thinking.

But now that things have come to this, I can only bite the bullet and think about it now.

Las racked his brains to list all the insects that could be served and might be useful, trying his best to help the insect-catching boy build a main insect team.

Then he focused on insect Pokémon like Vulcano and Gnat, which are suitable for tabletops, and he had insights to share.

"Let me tell you, the Vulcan Moth can pass through..."

Just when he was talking excitedly, Lars accidentally met the eyes of the insect-catching boy.

The look he saw was not what he expected.

That wasn't the look of excitement from hearing about powerful bug Pokémon and team building strategies.

He seemed to have got the wrong idea.

After thinking for a while, Lars adjusted his mood and said:

"Are you dreaming of Bug-type Pokémon from all over the world?"

"Ok!"

The insect-catching boy nodded heavily, then scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Although the combat experiences you shared are great, but..."

"You'd rather hear about different kinds of bug Pokémon, right?"

Lars laughed for no apparent reason, and he didn't know why he was laughing.

Maybe it’s because the insect-catching boy’s heart of Taoism has grown on its own.

It's a good thing anyway.

As for the battle, just tell him about the Bug-type Pokémon champion in the Unova region and let him make his own decision.

Sighing, Lars noticed that the dark cave was slowly becoming brighter.

The sound of rain gradually subsided.

"The rain has stopped."

It's the perfect time to stop, just like the insect catcher who has just overcome the wind and rain and has restored his mind to good health.

The sun always comes after the rain, which fits the mood in many ways.

Not to mention the iridescent toucans that soar amidst the light and rainbows.

"Brother! Look at that Pokémon!"

There is now one more witness to the brilliance of the Shining Toucan.

That's great, but it's a pity that I can't trick Satoshi into aiming to capture Ho-Oh as planned.

"Hey, what is that?"

The insect-catching boy suddenly became confused.

It is natural to have doubts.

Because a strange vortex suddenly appeared in the direction of the Shiny Toucan, and it seemed that something fell out and hit the Shiny Toucan directly!

"It's too far to see clearly..."

Lars glanced at the bug-catching boy, and a lightbulb lit up in his head.

He deliberately exaggerated his movements to let the insect catcher notice that he was taking out his backpack. Sure enough, the moment the insect catcher's attention came over, a telescope appeared in the backpack.

Good cooperation, boy!

"That looks like a person?"

With a telescope, Las finally caught a glimpse of something before the Shining Toucan completely fell out of sight.

There was a humanoid creature, along with several large unidentified scientific instruments, that hit Ho-Oh.

The direction of fall is...

Lars pulled out the map and did a quick comparison.

"It's Viridian Forest."

"Wiki Forest?"

The insect-catching boy suddenly froze, as if he remembered something.

"Big brother, are you looking for a precious Pokémon?"

"Those enormous trees deep in Viridian Forest are home to Pokémon that no one has ever discovered!"

"My dad told me a secret! I haven't told anyone!"

Lars couldn't help but be stunned.

Are there Pokémon that no one has ever seen living in the giant trees of Viridian Forest?

Headbutt.

At this moment, the name of a Pokémon skill popped into my mind.

A second-generation addition with skills that can be used outside of combat. Although this map effect only has this ability in the version related to the Chengdu map, it is not important.

What’s important is that in the fourth generation, which is the remake of Gold and Silver, HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Headhammer tree that can be used with a Headhammer was added to the Viridian Forest in the Kanto region.

Among the Pokémon that can be obtained from those Headbutt Trees, there is a very powerful degenerated Pokémon!

——Have you ever heard the legend that those with a speed below 70 are not worthy of playing Pokémon?

Stay tuned for the story of the cheerful Parasol mushroom!

---

Kanto Region: Chapter 3: Think ahead, this is the treatment you can come up with.

"Thank you for the secret."

Lars took a deep breath and calmed down.

If it weren't for the insect catcher's reminder, I would have really forgotten about this.

The original plan had not included stopping in Viridian Forest.

Right now, it's not easy for Charmander to attack the Rock Gym, and I'm thinking of leveling up to get Metal Claws or Dragon Breath before considering the Rock Gym.

Now it would be great to go directly to Tokiwa Forest to look for the person who fell out of the strange vortex and capture a mushroom at the same time.

I originally thought that only the Hoenn version would allow my colleagues to experience nightmares.

"Viridian Forest, do you want to go with me?"

Lars extended an invitation to the bug-catching boy.

On the one hand, I want him to lead the way, and on the other hand, I can also tell him how to use Butterfree.

You can also get some supplies to use.

"If nothing goes wrong, we might even find some bug Pokémon that haven't been discovered in the Kanto region yet."

Lass remembered that in addition to Mushroom, he also added two bug-type Pokémon from the Chengdu area and the second-generation Rooko.

It can also be considered a way to obtain Pokémon of later generations without leaving Kanto.

"Although Caterpillar has stabilized with Big Brother's help, I want to go to the Pokémon Center to check it out."

"and..."

The insect-catching boy looked at the green caterpillar in his arms with a firm look in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

Lars also understood what he meant.

He was a little kid with a strong sense of self-esteem, no wonder his faith was shattered like this.

"Then let's say goodbye here. You have to rush to the Pokémon Center too."

Las put his hand directly on the insect-catching boy's head and said goodbye.

He had no reason to go to Viridian City.

Putting aside the question of whether Sakaki is in the Tokiwa Gym or not, the initial lineup alone is not enough to fight Sakaki.

It's not applicable to the original version yet, or there's no setting that the gym owner will give the challenger a break based on the number of badges they have - besides, even if there is a setting here, Sakaki, who can let Mewtwo go out to fight the challenger, doesn't seem like someone who would abide by it.

There's no need to humiliate yourself.

"Don't be so embarrassed next time we meet."

"Of course! Next time we meet, I will impress you!"

After saying a brief goodbye to the insect catcher, Lars sent the photo of the shining toucan to Professor Oak and prepared to act according to the plan.

First of all, Viridian Forest is not in a hurry.

He didn't think he could gain the approval of the King of Phoenix, and the mushrooms would not leave their habitat so easily.

"It's difficult. Why don't you just give up on the Divine Beast?"

But when I think about it, before Sword and Shield, Land Cloud had the reputation of being a panacea for singles.

Many players even joked that no matter what team you are considering forming, it is always useful to have a Land Cloud Pokémon first.

Lars didn't want to give up at all.

“Emmmm…”

Forget it, let’s put together a complete team first.

I remember that in the Pikachu short story, Pikachu was raised by a marsupial.

The place where Professor Oak caught Pikachu wouldn't be too far from Pallet Town, so that Biceps is either on Champion's Road or in Viridian Forest. It's a Pokémon worth considering.

Apart from anything else, the name of the boss is still very famous. How to say parent-child love, parent-child love.

Let’s look for it by the way.

With the intention of giving Pikachu a surprise if he had the chance, Las checked the map and planned to bypass Viridian City from an area closer to the Champion's Road.

"Before that, come out, Charmander."

Having released his partner who had been holding back for a rainy day, Lars had something to do with it.

According to the original plan, Lars was planning to collect his effort points while Ash was playing the encounter game.

But an accident that happened along the way completely disrupted his plan.

The more you make plans, the more likely they are to be ruined by various things.

This applies whether you plan to encounter something by chance or not, or whether you plan to stay in Viridian Forest.

"I hope this effort is worth it and there won't be any accidents..."

Russ rubbed Charmander's head and prayed to the sky.

Then...

As expected, an accident happened.

Stop and go along the way, do some simple training, and challenge wild Pokémon when you encounter them.

Normally, Charmander's abilities will grow in the direction deliberately guided by Las.

I just looked at the scan results on the program that I asked Professor Oak to develop. The required ability value has grown, but there is a slight deviation.

Apart from the two abilities that were deliberately cultivated, all of Charmander's other abilities had increased to a certain extent.

It has grown, not only the required ability values ​​have grown, but also the unnecessary ones.

Even physical strength, which is converted into the game value of HP, has the highest increase, which is much higher than the two ability values ​​that are deliberately cultivated.

For a moment, there was a complex feeling that one's cognition was violated, but it was also very reasonable.

Las had mixed feelings.
