Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

"Let's go buy some necessary supplies, then go back and call BBA and we can be on our way."

No plans to stay in Vermilion City overnight.

The news that she took Zapdos to attack the Vermilion Gym has probably spread, and there's no guarantee that there aren't members of Team Rocket guarding the Pokémon Center.

Even in this situation, the original plan to use the exchange machine to evolve Haunter is inconvenient.

So it’s better to run away first.

Just wait for Lars and Ali to buy everything they need and go back to the Pokémon Center to take a look.

Iselin was found lying limply in the seating area, looking extremely depressed.

"what happened?"

Could it be that Team Rocket has targeted Metagross and Team Rocket has already attacked it once?

"What Team Rocket?" Isaiah's voice was also soft.

But what else could it be if not the Rockets?

It can't be that I can't sleep well, right?

"...I really can't sleep well."

Iselin turned over and rubbed her temples.

He tried to get up, but quickly gave way again.

"Actually, I've had that feeling since leaving Ziyuan Town, but this time it's especially severe."

"I feel like I had a nightmare. I did a lot of exercise in the dream, and my back and waist are sore. Don't worry, I can just lie on the Metagross to rest on the way."

Lars & Ari: "..."

Is this really okay?

Kanto Region: Chapter 49: The Insect Catcher and the Giant Beedrill

Forest, forest, and forest.

We walked along the coast until we were completely away from it. It took two or three days, and all we could see were trees.

I can't quite see the end.

"Ah, why do you have to be a savage in the wild? Isn't there a highway from Vermilion City to Golden City?"

"If we took the main road, we should have reached Jinhuang City by now!"

There were no mining sites along the way, and Ali's mental state became more and more depressed day by day.

Now it has reached the point where I can't help but complain.

Trees, trees, trees. She was already sick of seeing such a sight. She wanted to see stones, special stones!

"Who said we were going to Golden City?"

Lars flipped through the map and said, "It's almost there. We'll be in Rainbow City in about half a day."

"That should be Yuhong City, right? Rainbow City!"

Yali pointed at Las without any hesitation, poking him with her fingers.

"Who's teaching you geography? You don't even know where Rota City is! That's Yuhong City! Yuhong City!"

It can be seen that this mining girl has become mentally ill.

Look at the BBA on Metagross’ head, folks.

A limp one.

Uh.

"No, I just don't want to get up. I haven't had nightmares since I left Vermilion City. I'm in great shape."

Iselin replied.

My spirit is indeed much better than when I was in Kuye City.

So, was it because of a prank played by a ghost Pokémon in Vermilion City?

Is that the Gengar that Ash captured during his journey?

Lars felt something was wrong. It was unlikely that Gengar would leave the house. It was the same experience that Ash had.

Forget it, I won’t think about the things I can’t figure out for now.

Let's continue training with the Pokémon while traveling, and slowly move to Yuhong City.

The pressure training idea in Vermilion City was very successful.

Not only did my training improve significantly, but I also discovered that although the sense of pressure was strong, it could be overcome.

Although it is impossible to be completely immune to the influence of oppression, it is possible to reduce the impact of oppression. Charmeleon was the first to do this. During training, he gradually reduced the impact of oppression from Zapdos so as not to distort his operation.

I estimate that it is almost at the level where it can evolve, and it just needs that last bit of push.

"So beating the Jade Rainbow Gym should allow it to evolve, right?"

Lars pondered, but it didn't seem right.

The Yuhong Gym itself is not among the strong gyms, and its grass attribute is restrained by Charmeleon, so it is difficult to put pressure on Charmeleon.

Let's take it slow and follow the plan..

Oh, it seems that ever since we left Pallet Town and met that bug-catching boy on Route 1, nothing has gone according to the original plan.

"Hey?!"

There was a cry of surprise from the distance. Lars looked over and saw the classic straw hat, vest, shorts and butterfly net, with a Butterfree following him.

The outfit must be familiar, it’s the classic combination of the insect catcher.

But when I got closer and found that the person looked familiar, I couldn't hold my breath.

I was just reminiscing about the past of Route 1, and now the key figure in the memory of Route 1 is here, right?

"Brother, long time no see. I didn't expect to run into you here."

The insect-catching boy smiled shyly, with fresh scars of various sizes on his body.

Russ: ?

He frowned, curious about the wounds.

"Oh, I was tracking a powerful giant beedin and got scratched by accident."

The insect-catching boy didn't care about the wounds on his body, but was more excited to talk about how he had discovered a very special giant hornet.

They met in Viridian Forest, and wanted to capture each other and make it their own Pokémon, so they ran all the way from Viridian Forest to here.

"By the way, big brother, do you know where this is?"

I'm completely lost.

"The forest near Yuhong City."

Lars was speechless. Seeing that Butterfree looked dejected beside the insect-catching boy, he handed over a few energy cubes.

Then the sharp-eyed Charmeleon immediately stopped training and shouted a few times, attracting all the wild Pokémon nearby, who stared eagerly at Las as he prepared his meal.

"..."

Every time the energy cube box is taken out, the most active one is Charmeleon!

When did this guy become good friends with so many wild Pokémon? They all came over after just a few shouts.

But, are the wild Pokémon that came here really wild in this area?

Lars, why do a lot of them look familiar? I must have seen them a few days ago!

No, why are there a few Pokémon that only appear on Routes 12 and 11? That Diglett isn't staying in its burrow either. When did it get here?!

Las said nothing, but just scattered a large number of energy blocks for them to scramble for.

Anyway, there is an unlimited supply of energy blocks. Feeding your own Pokémon is feeding, and feeding wild Pokémon is also feeding. It's all the same.

"So that's why Beedrill left Viridian Forest."

What's more curious is this.

Most Pokémon will appear in the same place, basically that place is suitable for the survival of that type of Pokémon.

Unless they are captured by a trainer, most Pokémon will not choose to leave the group unless there are other special circumstances.

He even ran so far, from the Evergreen Forest to the vicinity of Yuhong City.

"Is it possible that we've been being followed?" Yali lay on top of Las, her hands reaching into Las's backpack.

Touching the Dragon Slate.

"I thought I was being targeted by some weirdo, so I kept running."

"It's probably not my fault." The bug catcher thought seriously. "It seems Beedrill is always looking for powerful trainers to challenge. When I found it, it had already defeated all the trainers in Viridian Forest."

"Along the way, I often saw Beedrill challenging trainers."

Las and Yali looked at each other and suddenly felt a little unsure what to say.

"What about you? Have you been challenged?" Then Iselin said.

This is a heavy question.

Those who want to conquer are chasing after him, while those who want to challenge the strong completely ignore the little tail behind them.

"No!"

The insect-catching boy didn't care at all.

"I will work hard to get Beedrill's approval!"

When this sentence came out, Lars nodded.

If nothing goes wrong, this insect-catching boy will definitely succeed.

"Would you like to rest here with me now? Your Butterfree isn't in great shape."

Lars pointed at Butterfree, who was almost unable to fly.

No one knows how this insect catcher tracked the Pokémon all the way, and he exhausted his Pokémon partner.

On the contrary, he himself didn't look tired at all.

"Is it okay? Thank you so much, big brother!" the insect-catching boy shouted excitedly.

His energetic appearance made Lars wonder if he was a Super Tokiwa.

Or does this anime world also have something like Tokiwa's power?

"Come to think of it, why don't you guys just introduce yourselves by name?!"

Yali was speechless and complained.

After chatting for a long time, she still didn't know the insect catcher's name.

As a result, now we have to rest together, but there is still no one to introduce her to someone. It's really difficult.

"Oh, come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself to Big Brother yet!"

"My name is Shinichi, I was born in Viridian City. My dream is to catch all Bug-type Pokémon. It would be even better if I could become a Bug-type Pokémon Master!"

"Currently tracking Beedrill!"

The insect-catching boy wiped his nose and introduced himself excitedly.

Lars nodded and gave a brief self-introduction.

This made Yali even more speechless.

How can we chat so well when we don't even know each other's names?

"By the way, is that the giant beedrill you were talking about?"
