I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

Professor Oak has encountered countless Pokémon, but because this year is the year when the rookie Trainers of Pallet Town set out, he really hopes to receive Pokémon sent by them.

"So far, I have captured 3 Pokémon," Gary said.

"Ah, only 3 Pokémon... that's too few," Professor Oak said in surprise.

This year, four rookie Trainers set out from Pallet Town. Orange and Yellow have captured more than 6 Pokémon, so why has his grandson only captured 3 Pokémon?

"Grandpa, I plan to take the elite route. I don't like weak Pokémon," Gary said.

"Is that so? Then what are the 3 Pokémon you captured?" Professor Oak was very curious about what kind of Pokémon Gary would capture.

"I captured Metapod, Exeggutor, and Scyther," Gary said.

"Exeggutor... Scyther!!"

The Metapod was normal at the beginning, but how come the two Pokémon captured later are so impressive?

Professor Oak knows very well what kind of Pokémon Exeggutor and Scyther are. For a rookie Trainer, these two Pokémon are definitely top-tier.

"Gary, did you capture these two Pokémon?" Professor Oak couldn't help but wonder.

The starter Pokémon Gary chose is Squirtle, which is at a disadvantage against Exeggutor in terms of type, and Scyther is also a very fast Pokémon.

Gary's Squirtle is still in the novice stage, and its type is not advantageous, so how could he capture Scyther?

"Yes, I captured Exeggutor when it was an Exeggcute. I used a Leaf Stone to evolve it directly. Later, I met Scyther in Viridian Forest and defeated it with Exeggutor," Gary recounted his experience in the Viridian Forest.

Professor Oak broke into a sweat. He didn't expect Gary to have such a smooth start. He captured Exeggcute right away and then met Scyther. He was so lucky.

"Then why did you choose to capture Metapod?" Professor Oak asked.

Gary's captured Pokémon were all strong, and he already had Scyther. It seemed unnecessary to capture another Bug-type Pokémon.

"Because I encountered a Shiny Caterpie and captured it," Gary said.

"What! A Shiny Caterpie, show me," Professor Oak was very excited when he heard it was a Shiny Pokémon.

Even Professor Oak rarely sees Shiny Pokémon.

Especially since this Pokémon was captured by Gary, Professor Oak was even more curious and wanted to study it.

"My Pokémon are in the care of Nurse Joy. I'll show it to you later, Grandpa," Gary said.

"That's a pity. You should do your best in the gym battle," Professor Oak said.

"Well, goodbye, Grandpa."

After the call ended, Gary went to the cafeteria of the Pokémon Center to eat.

Gary planned to take a look at Route 3 in the afternoon to see if he could meet the Pidgey he liked, and also see if he could meet some Ground-type Pokémon.

There are mountains near Pewter City, and there are some Rock and Ground-type Pokémon.

According to the task issued by the system, Gary needs to train a Rhydon, and there may be a Rhyhorn nearby.

In addition to Pidgey and Rhyhorn, Gary also plans to see if he can find Mankey.

Mankey has a second-stage evolution and can eventually evolve into Annihilape. In order to facilitate the fight against Sabrina later, it is necessary to train a Ghost-type Pokémon.

As for training Gengar, Gary also plans to do that, but Gengar naturally has a Poison type. It is said to counter the Psychic type, but it is also weak to Psychic-type Pokémon.

Of course, the same is true for Annihilape, but it is still necessary to train Fighting-type Pokémon.

In the Kanto Region, there are only two Fighting Pokémon with base stats of 500, namely Machamp and Annihilape.

Machamp's base stats are 505, and it is a single Fighting type.

Annihilape's base stats are 535, and it has both Fighting and Ghost attributes.

Comparing the two, anyone who knows would choose Annihilape.

Moreover, at this point in time, the evolution method of Annihilape has not been fully proven, and even many Fighting masters have not figured it out.

According to the evolution method in the game, Annihilape needs to use Rage Fist 20 times in a row in a battle, and it must increase its level while defeating the target before it can evolve.

This evolution method is very troublesome in the game, let alone in reality.

Gary plans to wait for Primeape to master Rage Fist, and then slowly test the evolution method.

Afternoon.

Gary brought his Pokémon to Route 3, looking for the target Pokémon, and also increased the level of Squirtle.

Because he has the Eye of Insight, Gary looks for Pokémon very quickly, but unfortunately, the Pokémon he encountered were all common and elite potential, none of which Gary liked.

He also encountered some wild Pokémon with bad tempers on the way, but Gary solved them all.

"The Pokémon around here are not very powerful, so I'd better give up on capturing Pokémon in the early stage." Gary found that there were few Pokémon with strong potential in the areas where humans were involved, and it was difficult to encounter Pokémon with gym potential.

As for the areas with few people, Gary knew that his strength was not enough, so he should improve his strength first and then capture the target Pokémon.

After thinking it through, Gary planned to go back.

"Metapod, you've worked hard." Gary touched the Metapod he was holding and planned to put it back into the Poké Ball.

For the whole afternoon, Gary put the Metapod outside, hoping to attract Pidgeotto to appear, but he didn't encounter even a Pidgey, but he encountered quite a few Spearows.

"Buzz!"

However, just as Gary was about to take back the Metapod, the Metapod's body suddenly shook.

Gary instantly understood what was going on, put the Metapod on the ground, and looked at the Metapod silently.

"Squirtle!"

"Scyther!"

Squirtle and Scyther also came over to watch.

A few seconds later, the Metapod's body shone with the incandescent evolution light. In the light, the Metapod's form did not change at all, but a pair of butterfly wings appeared on the Metapod's back. As the wings spread, the Butterfree's body also separated from the Metapod.

The evolution light dissipated, and a Shiny Butterfree appeared.

Shiny Butterfree's hands and feet were light pink, including the black and white patterned butterfly wings, the white part also had a little pink, and the eyes were turquoise.

To be honest, after Shiny Caterpie evolved into Butterfree, its appearance was really not as good as the standard Butterfree color.

I really don't know how the pink Butterfree was bred in the plot. It seems that the colors of Shiny Pokémon are not necessarily the Shiny types recorded on the Pokédex.

"Meow~!"

The evolved Butterfree immediately flew to Gary's side. It was able to evolve so smoothly thanks to Gary's help and was very grateful to Gary.
