I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

"I need a premium Leaf Stone, do you have one here?"

Gary was not one to treat his Pokémon poorly, so he intended to use the best evolution stones available on the market.

The waitress was surprised to hear Gary's request because premium Leaf Stones are very expensive, and regular Trainers usually can't afford them.

"Young man, premium Leaf Stones are very expensive, costing three million each. Are you sure you need them?" the waitress reminded him.

"If I didn't need them, why would I ask? Just tell me if you have them," Gary replied confidently, as if three million was not a big deal to him.

"Of course, we have them. The products in our Pokémon department store are very affordable, but young man, you need to prove to me that you have the ability to buy them first," the waitress said.

The evolution stones in the display cabinet are all standard ones, and premium stones are naturally kept in the safe, not taken out easily for regular Trainers.

Gary shook his head helplessly and took out a black card from his pocket.

The moment she saw the black card, the waitress was dumbfounded because this black card has no spending limit.

Looking at the whole world, not many people possess black cards.

"Please wait a moment. I'll get the Leaf Stone," the waitress said.

"Well, go ahead."

Gary was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Pokémon Department Store here actually had the best evolution stones.

Normal Pokémon Department Stores don't usually have the best evolution stones. It's good to have high-level ones.

Pokémon items like the best evolution stones can be auctioned and often sell for more than three million.

After waiting for a while, the waitress returned with a delicate box, placed it on the counter, and opened it. Inside was a Leaf Stone the size of two adult palms.

Compared to other evolution stones, the Leaf Stone looked very simple, like a leaf fossil.

"In addition to the Leaf Stone, do you have a Fire Stone?" Gary asked.

Originally, he planned to try his luck, but he didn't expect the store to actually have them, so he inquired about the Fire Stone as well.

"Of course." The waitress quickly ran to the room and brought out another box.

Opening the box, there was a crystal-clear stone that looked like a normal crystal. It seemed to store flames inside and was more than twice the size of an ordinary Fire Stone.

"Your Pokémon Department Store actually has top-quality evolution stones. You are really impressive," Gary exclaimed.

"Of course. Although Pokémon Department Store has a dedicated supply channel, our Pokémon supply in Viridian City is invested by Mr. Giovanni," the waitress said proudly.

Hearing that Giovanni had invested, Gary was relieved.

No wonder the Pokémon Department Store here has top-quality evolution stones. It turns out that Team Rocket is helping to supply them.

Giovanni is definitely a well-known figure in the Kanto Region, but no one knows that he is the leader of Team Rocket.

"I want both evolution stones. Swipe the card," Gary said.

"Okay, please wait."

The waitress's eyes narrowed with joy. She could earn a lot of commission just from this order.

After buying two top-quality evolution stones, Gary replenished some supplies, bought some energy blocks that Water and Grass Pokémon like to eat, and then left.

---

In a small garden in Viridian City, Gary sat on a public bench, holding a Poké Ball in his hand, and pressed the button on the Poké Ball.

Great!

Six Exeggcutes with different expressions appeared.

"Exeggcute?" Exeggcute looked around, confused.

Gary had just captured Exeggcute yesterday, and they had met in the evening.

Exeggcute recognized Gary as its Trainer. In the wild, Pokémon would recruit each other. Since it was defeated by Gary, Exeggcute recognized Gary as a leader.

"Exeggcute, I will let you evolve later. Are you ready?" Gary said.

"Exeggcute!!"

Exeggcute was extremely shocked. As a member of the Exeggcute clan, it knew that it needed evolution stones to evolve, but with its ability, it was impossible to get evolution stones in the wild.

These Pokémon that need evolution stones to evolve, when their strength reaches a certain level, can sense the location of the evolution stone and will actively look for it to evolve.

According to normal development, Exeggcute would not look for a Leaf Stone until at least level 30, because it knew that if it looked for it now, it would not be able to compete with other wild Pokémon that need a Leaf Stone.

"Exeggcute~!"

The six Exeggcutes were grateful. They didn't expect that they could evolve in less than a day with Gary. They really followed a good Trainer.

Gary smiled and checked Exeggcute's attributes. He found that Exeggcute's intimacy with him increased by 10 points to 131.

If it evolves, wouldn't the intimacy be close to 200?

According to normal data, intimacy only indicates that the relationship between Pokémon and Trainer is good, but in reality, the higher the intimacy, the more likely the Pokémon may exhibit extraordinary combat power in battle.

"This is the Leaf Stone, let's evolve."

Gary opened the box containing the Leaf Stone, took out the Leaf Stone, and placed it on Exeggcute.

The moment it touched the Leaf Stone, the genes in Exeggcute's body became agitated.

Exeggcute seemed to have a magical connection with the Leaf Stone, and both of them shone with the light of evolution at the same time.

Exeggcute continued to change in the light of evolution, and its body became taller and taller. Its height soon matched Gary's, and its body became flatter and wider, growing two thick legs.

The light of evolution dissipated, and an Exeggutor appeared.

"Exeggutor~!"

The Exeggutor evolved from Exeggcute is not as tall as a normal Exeggutor because it evolved early.

For example, Ash's Charizard, although it has evolved, its size is not quite the same as a normal Charizard.

However, this is not a disadvantage; it just takes time for Pokémon to grow, and after evolving early, it can establish its own fighting style sooner.

For example, Charmander itself cannot fly, but its final evolution, Charizard, can fly. If it does not evolve for a long time and suddenly evolves into Charizard, it will not be able to adapt to air combat and will take time to adjust.

Although Pokémon can awaken powerful skills in their race skills earlier at a low level without evolving, this only applies to ordinary Trainers.

For Trainers like Gary who are not short of money, skills can be learned by spending money.

Even if Pokémon evolves, it only needs to reach a higher level to awaken the race skills.

This is not a problem for Gary at all.
