Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

"Is it possible that I'm trying to collect useful Pokémon, rather than just collecting Water, Fire, and Grass?"

Lars didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, forget it, I’m too lazy to explain.

"But if you don't have a fishing rod, you can only find that Magikarp uncle to get it."

In the game, it appears at the Pokémon Center at the entrance of the Moon Cave, but in the anime, it first appears on the ship St. Ann.

500 currency a piece is quite a bargain.

Gyarados's strength can be considered quite good, and the most important thing is that Gyarados can fly and move on land.

This is very important in the animation world view!

The mainstream battle venues in the animation are all on land. The strength of water-type Pokémon that cannot move on land will inevitably be discounted.

"I don't really understand you as trainers."

"But if you want a Magikarp, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Come, call me sister and I'll help you catch it."

Iselin patted the giant golden monster under her, and showed off to Las with her head held high.

What can Metagross do?

A voice flashed through Lars's mind: Can I still fish?

Then the performance of the Psychic-Type in the animation popped up in my mind again. Uh, it seems that Metagross can really "catch" fish.

"Sister, help me!!"

Without hesitation, Lars threw himself on Iselin and hugged her tightly!

If you don’t take advantage of the benefits, you are a bastard!

This also made Iselin wonder if she was rewarding Lars instead of deliberately embarrassing him.

Are all the children in this world like this?

After trying several times but failing to get Las off, Iselin was speechless.

"Okay, don't you think you've been out for a little too long?"

After resting in the morning, Las sent the monkey monster out to look for the warlike mushroom.

By the time Las finished his madness with the CD, almost two hours had passed, and the monkey monster still hadn't returned.

You should know that there are not many head hammer trees in this area, and the monkey monster captured by Las is also the one with the best quality in the nearby monkey monster community. It was selected after beating all of them. It will definitely take less than two hours to check the head hammer trees nearby.

"So it was a fight with Mushroom?"

"...Why did you first think of fighting instead of being beaten up?"

Lars gave Iselin a look that said, "Isn't this bullshit?"

"I didn't ask the monkey monster to capture me violently. I just asked it to find me in the form of a challenge, and then capture me once it found me."

"..."

Iselin opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Is this really the case?

In short, the two set out on a journey to find the monkey monster.

Similarly, because the head-hammer trees in this area were not large, the two quickly found the monkey monster.

——It was confronting a mushroom with fierce eyes in the middle of a larger hammer tree.

The arrival of Las Iselin and the other person was like a signal to start a war, and the two sides officially started fighting!

First up, the mushrooms.

Relying on his high position, he swayed his body and sprinkled purple powder, poisonous powder, at the monkey monster from above.

This is to use gravity and airflow to expand the range of the poison powder so that it can hit the monkey monster.

But the monkey monster is not the clear-eyed Charmander. As the most qualified individual in the monkey monster community in this area, his on-the-spot reaction is not comparable to Charmander.

The moment the mushroom sprinkled the poison powder, the monkey monster kicked off with both feet, jumped onto another tree, and continued to climb higher and higher until it was higher than the mushroom.

"Shhhhhh!"

By the way, he also broke off a few branches and threw them out to interfere with the mushroom's possible next actions.

This style of play was obviously the result of thinking after being suppressed by Charmander's firepower yesterday.

It seems that yesterday's battle with Charmander was its first fight with an opponent who mainly played ranged attacks.

"So sure?"

"Of course, on the one hand, there aren't many types of Pokémon in the area where the monkey monster group is located, and on the other hand, it's only behaving like this today."

Russ explained.

Yesterday, Monkey King was suppressed by firepower and was very passive. His counterattack strategy relied entirely on the use of cover. The advantage he gained was due to Charmander's own lack of experience, which led to him taking the initiative to create flaws.

Today is different. Although the monkey monster is still relying on the cover to continuously increase the distance between itself and the mushroom, it will also pick up props on the spot and throw them to harass.

When they see mushrooms, they will release powder. They will not rush to get close to them, but will force and restrict the direction of the mushrooms' movement by throwing branches. The perfection of this tactic can be said to have digested all the losses suffered yesterday.

"But I'm still not very knowledgeable. I can't tell if the mushroom's ability is spores. Since I only have melee skills, the best solution is to actively hit the poison powder. After all, it's a Pokémon with a trainer, so the cost of poisoning won't be as high as it would for wild Pokémon."

Lars sighed, and discovered another advantage that Pokémon with trainers have over wild Pokémon.

But the monkey monster obviously hasn't realized this yet.

"The monkey monster's active collision with the poison powder is a way to circumvent the possible consequences of the spore's properties. But what about the mushroom's active collision with its own poison powder?"

Iselin suddenly asked.

Mushroom, disturbed by the monkey monster's constant throwing of branches, did a strange thing.

It jumped up and spread the poison powder! Then it fell into the poison powder and swallowed it with a big gulp!

Lars was shocked by this operation. How could he be poisoned like this?!

"This is--"

It's too late, it's faster than that!

The poisoned mushrooms burst out with incredible speed, easily dodging the branches thrown by the monkey monster. The speed of their continuous jumping between trees was even faster than the speed of the monkey monster throwing branches!

By the time the monkey monster reacted and wanted to run away to create distance, it was already too late!

The mushrooms were already jumping between the trees with a cover of yellow powder!

The two are very close!

That's Scud! When in abnormal state, the speed ability value increases by 50%. This is the hidden characteristic of Mushroom!

"Jump! Use Glare!"

Several ideas flashed through Lars's mind, but in the end his mouth made a decision faster than his brain.

Choose victory!

The Monkey King on the field did not hesitate when he heard the trainer's voice. Facing the Mushroom covered with paralysis powder rushing towards him, he kicked his feet and glared.

Mushroom's defense is reduced by one level.

But the mushroom hit the tree trunk, and the paralysis powder exploded, eventually sticking to the monkey monster, causing it to enter a paralyzed state.

It's still a bit slow.

"Throw it down on the earth!"

While Mushroom was still struggling to adjust after hitting the tree trunk, the monkey monster grabbed Mushroom with both hands and jumped up again, using Earth Throw - but was paralyzed!

Lars also looked uncomfortable, and unbearable memories filled his mind without permission.

Fortunately, the mushroom has been hugged up. Even without the damage from the earth, it still has to suffer damage from falling from a height of seven or eight meters.

And because it was in the middle of being released from the earth, in this position, Mushroom had to endure the damage from the monkey monster hitting it.

He wanted to struggle and kept using super absorption to recover his strength, but the monkey monster still held him tightly and the handless mushroom couldn't break free at all.

"boom!"

They fell to the ground, both of them were seriously injured.

"Can you move? If you can, give me another blow."

The monkey monster's hands glowed white, and its sharp claws popped out, scratching Mushroom's face fiercely.

At this point, Mushroom finally stopped struggling, rolled his eyes around, and fell to the ground motionless.

Seeing this, the monkey monster breathed a sigh of relief and half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

From time to time, electric currents flashed and exploded a ball of hair, making him look particularly embarrassed.

Ps: When I wrote this chapter, although I remembered that Grass-types are immune to powder, I thought that Poison-types would not be immune to poison powder, so I wrote it like this (vomiting soul)

Then I happened to encounter it once while playing the game, and I found out that the grass immunity powder does not matter the attribute.

I've made some changes, but I'll make do with it! (Red bean paste gomenasa)

Kanto Region: Chapter 9 If You Want It, You Have to Do It Yourself

This short adventure in Evergreen Forest can be said to have brought Las full of surprises.

A monkey monster with very high combat quality and a mushroom with hidden characteristics.

And pulling Iselin BBA to pick the Magikarp carefully from various lake rivers, it can be said that the result was a success, and the basic team was basically formed.

After a little adjustment, it’s time to embark on the journey to the Alliance Regional Conference.

"It's time to get my first gym badge."

After opening the map for the first time in a long time, Lars easily confirmed the location with the help of the positioning function of the atlas.

We have already passed through the Evergreen Forest, and the next intersection will basically take us straight to Pitch Black City, or Nibi City.

"You haven't got a badge yet?!"

Iselin was very surprised by this.

The first-hand baby team is a beginner, but a series of planned actions does not seem like complete beginners.

Iselin thought there should be at least two badges, but there wasn't any.

"Are the gym challenges here very difficult?"

"Not high, I'm just not in a hurry."

Lars shrugged. Among the eight gyms in the original animation, only a few were challenging.

There are even exams that lead directly to the League Conference.

There's really no rush to get started.

Even Lars hadn't looked at the rules of the Kanto Regional Tournament yet. He only remembered that the rules in the original anime were quite abstract.

"But you, it seems, are not at all anxious about traveling to another world."

Seeing this BBA from the Area Zero Expedition traveling with him leisurely, Lass also admired her mentality.

When catching Magikarp, Lars told her that he could introduce her to Professor Oak for help, but she was rejected and even became his travel partner.

“What kind of scientific research spirit is this?”

"The spirit of slacking off."

Iselin did not hide her feelings at all and did not even care about Lars's sarcasm.

"This happened mainly because of the unique environment of Area Zero. I don't think it's easy to find a way back."

"Besides, we're just on the way here."

Drop by?

Las felt a little strange and was about to ask more questions, but he found that Iselin was riding on the Metagross and suddenly accelerated, ignoring the steep slope, and went to Deep Gray City first.

"I'm going to go take a rest first!"

Iselin waved her hand and abandoned her travel companion.
