Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 435 None of this year's rookie trainers are easy to deal with.
"The rookie trainer named A-Xiang who took away Cyndaquil happened to run into the thief and they even got into a fight."

Link, who decided to camp overnight before entering the Dark Caverns, discovered a battle between the Gold and Silver teams on Route 46, northwest of Wakaba Town.

Did Cyndaquil, along with the roadside-collected Tail-Up, Ladybug, Psylocke, Cuckoo, and Geodude, barely manage to defeat Totodile?

Both of them seemed to have something going on.

"Fu?"

Was the thief caught so quickly?
No, Link shook his head. It seemed the thief had immediately recalled his sprite and run away.

The Pokémon in the Pokédex added: "The red-haired boy ran away with a smoke bomb, and it was also discovered that the name on his Trainer Card is Silver."

The given name is simply "Yin," without any apparent surname.

This person is becoming increasingly mysterious.

"Alright, there's no need to worry about them."

Having finally gotten to travel with the elves, Link didn't want to be constantly watching those newcomers.

After setting up camp, he released all the Pokémon, allowing the team, who had been stuck in Poké Balls the whole way, to breathe some fresh air.

The setting sun blazed like fire, bathing the mountains and forests below in golden light. The refreshing fragrance of kiwi leaves brought everyone immense relaxation, and even though they had been resting in their Poké Balls for almost a whole day, they still felt a bit sleepy.

"Jike~"

I wonder how Chikorita, who was chosen as the beginner Pokémon, is doing. Does she feel uncomfortable suddenly being in a foreign land?

That Chikorita wasn't originally a beginner Pokémon and hadn't received any training. It would be terrible if it was rejected by its trainer because it was weak.

As far as it knew, Chikorita was not considered a qualified starter Pokémon by trainers in the Johto region.

"Well, the main problem is that the type is too disadvantageous. It has nothing to do with Chikorita itself. Even if you switch to Bulbasaur, Treecko, Grookey, or something similar, you'll probably still be at a disadvantage."

"Huoxia?" Bulbasaur found it hard to understand.

"Well, to put it simply..."

As we all know, there are more than 8 gyms in a region, but many trainers will challenge the more famous ones or those that are on their way.

The most popular gyms in the Johto region are Flying, Bug, Normal, Ghost, Fighting, Steel, Ice, and Dragon. Three of these gyms are super effective against Grass-type, and four are resistant to Grass-type. Grass-type is neither super effective nor resistant to any of these types.

Besides, Pine Leaf is called a Ghost-type Gym Leader, but he's not much different from a Poison-type Gym Leader, and his Dragon-type move pool is quite deep.

This resulted in Chikorita suffering defeats against 6 out of the 8 Gyms, only managing to avoid significant losses when challenging Normal and Fighting types.

However, those who know Xiaoxi's big breasts understand.

Only A-Si is relatively easy to beat, but that's only in comparison—the strength of this gym might lie with the gym leader.

"Jike..."

Trainer, stop talking, it's dizzy.

"However, the inability to cultivate Chikorita well is also due to the trainer's fault. If it were me, I could easily start from scratch with Chikorita."

Pokémon and their trainers complement each other. While complaining about Chikorita's uselessness, have the trainers actually unlocked its full potential?
If all else fails, you can always use Chikorita leaves to catch a water-type monster...

"Meow~" "Meow~" "Dianyou~"

Leaving aside the Burning Bugs and Metallic Monsters, the Electric Dragon's roar always feels like it's being mocked.

However, they were indeed comforting the chrysanthemum leaves.

The value of elves lies not only in battle, does it?
Even a beginner Pokémon trainer can help a newcomer as young as himself grow up.

Chikorita is a docile Pokémon that dislikes fighting, and it can certainly become a source of emotional support for its trainers outside of battle.

"Jike~"

Let's get down to business. What should we do with Chikorita, who was suddenly mobilized by Fennekin and is yearning for adventure? "That Chikorita is indeed somewhat different from the Kanto region... but compared to the other three beginner Pokémon, it is indeed lacking in basic skills. So I have a good idea. Remember the 'dream learning method' I mentioned before?"

"..."*n
The elves fell silent. Were they really going to do it?

Link shrugged. "Otherwise, simply feeding it gummy candies or awakening candies wouldn't be good for its growth."

"Fuwu~"

There's no other way; this is indeed the most reasonable choice.

So Chrysanthemum Leaf volunteered to teach Chrysanthemum Leaf the music in the dream world.

However, matters concerning the teaching plan can only be left to the trainers to resolve.

It was a piece of cake for Link.

There's still some time before nightfall, so I can just adjust my own chrysanthemum leaf training plan.

Since they had nothing better to do, Fire Fox suggested that everyone continue to watch the trainers' adventures in the parallel world.

But knowing full well that things were about to turn sour, Link didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he decided to leave it for another time.

Why don't we play something?
Just as Link was about to pull out his party game, a rustling sound came from not far away.

A moment later, a boy in shorts with long, light blue hair emerged from the bushes.

"So it turns out that not only wild elves can jump out of the grass, but also humans."

"Oh, I just got lost because I was too excited."

The other person looked like she was about to cry; she was also very troubled, having been lost since noon.

Then, as if discovering a new continent, she recognized the other person's identity: "Ah, it's the former Kanto champion!"

"Why are you adding 'fore' to everything... You seem to be Chris from Wakaba Town, right? This is Route 46, don't you think there's something wrong with your direction of travel?"

Chris smiled awkwardly and explained that she had been lost ever since she set off.

In the end, she decided to climb to a high vantage point and look around to determine the correct direction from an overhead perspective.

"Fu?"

is that really so difficult?
Doesn't the encyclopedia have a map function?

"The encyclopedia has a map function, right?"

"There is definitely a map..."

The main problem was that Chris couldn't distinguish between east, west, south, and north.

Link: "?"

While you were lost, Hibiki spent half a day traveling from New Leaf Town to Flower City, then from Flower City to Route 30 to get Grandpa Pokémon's Togepi Egg, and finally returned to New Leaf Town!

Link could only conclude that the other person was like Ash, the type who could take several days to travel from New Leaf Town to Flower City, a journey that involved many twists and turns.

"Okay, looks like I'll have to ask Dara to help me develop a shady navigation system, otherwise it'll be troublesome if a newbie accidentally wanders into the habitat of wild elves."

“This requirement is not difficult to fulfill,” came the voice of the Porygon through Link’s Pokédex. “I can write, package, and download it to several experimental Pokédexs tonight.”

"This is Polygon. In fact, it helped add many new features to the Pokédex."

"Eh?"

Chris subconsciously looked at the encyclopedia with its built-in artificial intelligence.

"Hello, lady, I'm much better than Rotom."
