I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

Kanto Region.

Where it all began, Pallet Town.

"Gary, why did you get up so early today?" Professor Oak looked at Gary, who had suddenly risen early, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. There was still an hour before the new trainers were supposed to report.

"Of course, today is the day to select a starter Pokémon, so naturally, I have to get up early," said the handsome boy with reddish-brown hair.

"I think you got up so early because you're worried that the Pokémon you like will be chosen by other trainers," Professor Oak said, seeing through Gary's thoughts.

Professor Oak was responsible for the training and selection of starter Pokémon in Pallet Town.

As Professor Oak's grandson, Gary had the advantage of being close to the source.

He had come into contact with the starter Pokémon earlier than other trainers and knew which Pokémon had higher potential.

"Hehe."

Gary smiled slightly and didn't deny it.

He wouldn't say that he came so early to activate the system.

Gary Oak, a time traveler who had journeyed to the Pokémon world, was thrilled to learn that he had been transported to the Pokémon world and had become the grandson of Professor Oak.

Although he was not the protagonist Ash, being Professor Oak's grandson was a perfect start for Gary, a top second-generation scientist.

Since he had become Gary, he was determined to make up for Gary's regrets.

He had ranked 32nd in the Indigo Plateau Conference and 16th in the Silver Conference, eventually giving up his dream of becoming a Pokémon master, abandoning battles to become a Pokémon researcher.

Since he was reborn, Gary would never give up halfway. Even if he wanted to become a Pokémon researcher, he would wait until he won the Pokémon World Championship.

The reason Gary came to Professor Oak's Laboratory so early was not just to be the first to choose a starter Pokémon, but because the system would be activated after selecting a starter Pokémon.

Just last night, the system suddenly woke up and assigned Gary a task.

[Current task: Get the starter Pokémon Squirtle/Task reward: Deluxe gift pack x1.]

According to the original story, Gary did choose Squirtle as his starter Pokémon.

Squirtle is a very good Pokémon, and its final evolution, Blastoise, is also quite powerful. After all, it has Mega Evolution and a unique Gigantamax form, so it is absolutely suitable to be the main Pokémon.

And the Squirtle among the starter Pokémon selected for new trainers this time is definitely not weak, at least it has the potential to be an Elite.

Gary himself also planned to choose Squirtle as his starter Pokémon. After all, after taking care of it for a while, Gary could see that Squirtle was the best among the three starters this time.

An hour later...!

Professor Oak's Laboratory was full of people, most of them were the family members of this batch of new trainers, and only two people were there to actually choose Pokémon.

Professor Oak also welcomed the other two new trainers in. Gary looked at the two trainers, one boy and one girl. The boy was named Orange, and the girl was named Yellow. Like Ash and Gary, they grew up together in Pallet Town.

"Gary, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. It seems that you've already decided which Pokémon to choose. After you choose your Pokémon, let's have a battle," Orange's tone was full of taunt.

Yellow looked like a good girl and didn't dare to speak. She just looked at Gary and Orange silently.

Gary wanted to refuse this meaningless battle, but...!

[Ding! Temporary mission released: Defeat the challenger Orange/Task reward: Low-level Rare Candy x3 (for Pokémon below level 30, level +1.)]

"Okay, then let me give you your first taste of defeat as a trainer," Gary said arrogantly.

"What! You'll be the one tasting defeat," Orange said, unconvinced.

"Then wait and see," Gary was in no mood to argue with a 10-year-old kid.

Gary didn't take Orange and Yellow seriously at all. After becoming trainers, these two had a smooth early stage, but they struggled in the middle stage and gave up their dream of becoming trainers.

How could Gary take someone who hadn't even participated in a Pokémon Conference seriously?

Professor Oak looked at Gary and Orange confronting each other and was helpless, but he didn't dissuade them.

Trainers naturally have to have a temper.

It is common for trainers to have Pokémon battles with each other.

"Then you can have the battle in the backyard later," Professor Oak was very considerate and provided a venue for the two.

"Okay, follow me," Professor Oak took Gary and the other two to the test area nearby, took out three Poké Balls from the pocket inside his white coat, and opened them.

Great...!

"Bulbasaur!"

"Charmander!"

"Squirtle!"

The classic first generation of the three Pokémon appeared.

When Orange and Yellow saw the three Pokémon, their eyes were full of stars.

Even though Gary had taken care of these three little guys, he was still very excited.

"Okay, these are the starter Pokémon provided for you. According to the order of first come, first served, Gary, you choose first," Professor Oak said.

"Then I won't be polite," Gary walked over confidently.

Orange and Yellow became nervous instantly. They naturally had their favorite Pokémon and were worried that they would be chosen by Gary.

Gary walked straight towards Squirtle, stretched out his hand, and said: "Squirtle, come with me, I will let you stand on top of the world."

"Squirtle!"

Squirtle nodded frequently with his round head. He was very happy to follow Gary and hugged Gary's arm directly.

"Hehe, you are my first Pokémon," Gary also touched Squirtle's head lovingly.

"Squirtle! Squirtle!"

Squirtle squinted his eyes and enjoyed Gary's touch.

[Ding! Mission completed, rewards have been issued to the space backpack.]

The sudden system prompt brought Gary back to his senses.

Gary was now very curious about what was in the luxury gift package, but the current situation was not suitable to open it, so he could only wait.

"Okay, it's your turn next, Yellow," Professor Oak said.

"Yes!" Yellow nodded, walked directly to Bulbasaur, lowered her body, and said: "Bulbasaur, come with me."

"Bulbasaur!"

Bulbasaur did not hesitate at all, stretched out Vine Whip on both sides, and started playing with Yellow.

"Okay! Charmander is mine!" Orange said excitedly.

Orange's favorite Pokémon was Charmander. Just now, he was worried that Gary and Yellow would snatch Charmander away.

In this way, the three of them all chose the Pokémon they liked.

"Gary, let's battle," Orange immediately challenged Gary after getting Charmander.

Gary didn't know what to say to Orange.

Are you blind?

Didn't you see that the Pokémon I chose was Squirtle?

Water type beats fire type, okay?

It seems that this Orange doesn't know much about Pokémon knowledge, which is comparable to Ash. No wonder he gave up becoming a trainer later.
