Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

"Who are you going to use when challenging the Vermilion Gym? Gastly or New Leaf?"

With a little curiosity, Iselin squatted down towards Ra's Shadow, trying to lure Gastly out.

The gym that was chosen by Las as the priority among the three gyms must not be particularly strong.

According to Iselyn's understanding of Las, this kind of gym that does not have a powerful gym trainer is usually used to level up Pokémon in the baby stage.

However, the new Leaf Cat was born not long ago, and Iselin guessed that it would be attacked by Gastly.

And while searching for materials on the way, Gastly also successfully learned the only special attack move it could learn before evolving.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lars should want Gastly to accumulate more experience and level up, and evolve first.

But Las' Gastly seemed to hate her. No matter how Iselin tried to seduce him, Gastly would not show up, and even pulled Las' shadow away from her.

A strange scene is formed under the light.

The light was clearly not heading in that direction, but Las's shadow was strangely staying right under the light.

"...Am I really annoying to ghost Pokémon?"

Iselin was a little skeptical.

Even if you don't like her, you wouldn't run away with Shadow, right?

"It shouldn't be that serious, right?" Yali scratched her face.

She tried to lure Gastly with some food.

She was quite successful. As soon as she put the food on Lars's shadow, Gastly came out and rubbed Ali's head.

There was absolutely no sign of resistance.

"So Gastly, you don't like Iselin?"

Lars asked slightly surprised.

Gastly shook his head, denying the question.

Then he simply escaped and went back into the shadow of Las, not showing his head again.

"?"

All three of them couldn't help but question Gastly's performance.

I don’t hate it, but I’m hiding from you. What’s the point?

"Is there some reason you can't tell me?"

Lars recalled several times before when he had felt like someone was watching him.

Ghost Pokémon is quite sensitive in this regard, and it may have sensed something, so it’s hard to say?

Never mind, it doesn't matter. Looking back on my experience, it's just those few legendary Pokémon that might pay attention to me.

This is a good thing.

Only when legends are proactive can there be stories.

Only with stories can he get the opportunity to meet the legend.

Regardless of whether it can be recognized or not, this is a follow-up that can only happen after you meet in person.

Anyway, call back to the Oak Research Institute first.

He needs to adjust the team.

Teleport the Pokémon that don't need to be trained with him for the time being to the Oak Laboratory.

"Lars has arrived in Vermilion City."

"What? Lars has already arrived in Vermilion City?!"

As soon as the call was connected, I found that there was another person talking to Professor Oak.

It’s Xiaozhi.

Judging from his background, he should be at Zhenghui Lighthouse.

Well, Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, and a girl whose expression looked a little unnatural when she saw him.

Yuto Sundae.

Lars raised his brow.

Just as I was about to call Carlos, I suddenly remembered that Serena was no longer at home.

Alas, what a pity.

The loser girl who couldn't bear to see Carlos break down.

"By the way, Lars, do you know what Pokémon Professor Masaki is looking for?"

Xiaozhi didn't notice what Lars was looking at at all, but asked Lars questions in surprise.

Using him and Xiaomao as encyclopedias was a habit that Xiaozhi developed when he was still in Pallet Town.

"Gigantamax Dragonite." Las also answered immediately.

"A Dynamax Dragonite that's seven generations ahead."

"Dragonite..."

Xiaozhi nodded in understanding.

"What kind of Pokémon is Dragonite?"

Professor Oak fell hard.

Lars had expected this and was not surprised by Xiaozhi's reaction.

Ash can only recognize Pokémon that he has seen with his own eyes.

But let's end the topic of Dragonite. It's hard to say what the situation is with this huge Pokémon originally created by MUJI, not to mention that it only appeared once.

There's more important business to do here.

"Doctor, I'm going to challenge the Dead Leaf Gym later. I'll teleport Infernape to your side first."

"You teleported the Chanterelle..."

"Chirp!"

Suddenly, the sound of birds singing was heard from Professor Oak's side.

The lightning bird folded its wings and moved closer, entering the camera's shooting area.

It just stared at Las, and then showed its healthy posture with shiny feathers.

There is no need to say more about what it means.

This is the legendary Pokémon. If you come to fight at the Vermilion Gym, it might be a bit of a waste of its talent.

"Haha, it seems like Zapdos really enjoys fighting with you, Lars."

Professor Oak reached out and smoothed Zapdos's feathers.

Then after a series of crackling sounds, Professor Oak changed his hairstyle to an afro.

Yes, that’s exactly what Professor Oak tastes like.

"Hey! Doc! Isn't that the Pokémon on the slab?!"

"Professor Masaaki seemed to say it was a legendary Pokémon!"

The camera on Xiaozhi's side was focused on the interior of the Zhenghui Lighthouse, where a stone mural of three birds and a wind speed dog hung on the wall.

The Zapdos looked at the mural and immediately held its head high and chest out, indicating that it was indeed the legendary Zapdos.

"But which dog Pokémon is that?"

Zapdos was stunned, and then he realized that there was an out-of-place Arcanine on the mural related to him.

Very angry, he shocked Professor Oak again.

"Why is it me again!" Professor Oak screamed.

Lars couldn't help laughing.

This should be a product that the animation team made without communicating with the game team.

You said that legendary Pokémon are special, that’s right, Arcanine is also a “Legendary Pokémon”.

It makes sense, right?

But unfortunately, "Legendary Pokémon" is a separate label, and none of the Pokémon in it are classified as Legendary Pokémon like Arcanine.

For example, Zapdos is classified as an Electric Pokémon.

Also belonging to this category is Electabuzz.

Well, if you put it that way, why does it feel like Arcanine is a little more noble?

Anyway, while explaining the difference to Ash, Lars also exchanged Pokémon with Professor Oak.

Zapdos still came over, and was even more anxious than Las to attack the gym.

"Xiaozhi, I'll send you a location. Remember to go there when you get to Vermilion City."

In the end, he could only use his maximum strength, and Las was dragged out of the Pokémon Center by Zapdos.

On the way, he almost hit a speeding manual stretcher.

Those were Pokémon sent from the Vermilion Gym, and each one had significant marks of electric shock.

Now Zapdos was even more excited, thinking that the Vermilion Gym Trainer was a strong one and that they could have a thrilling battle.

He looked so excited, nothing like the previous look of being almost autistic after being beaten by the thunder drum.

They also completely ignored the fact that the Pokémon of the challengers sent to the Pokémon Center were all baby-level, such as Rattata, Grunt, and Sandshrew...

Sandshrew?!

Well, according to the animation feature, water intrusion is not only a skill, but also a status.

“Chirp!”

In short, Zapdos is excited and eager to fight with the strong.

"Okay, okay, although you're not needed yet."

Las smiled. There was nothing he could do. Since Zapdos was so excited, the trainer of the Witherleaf Gym would have to suffer.

By the way, what is the name of the trainer of the Vermilion Leaf Gym?

"Oh, finally a worthwhile challenger has arrived this time."

As soon as I walked in the door.

Just like the excited Zapdos, the trainer of the Vermilion Leaf Gym was also excited to see Zapdos.

Although he didn't know Zapdos, his handsome appearance showed that it was not a baby-level Pokémon. What made him happy was its yellow fur and other electric-attribute features.

"It's a big one, but it's a Flying-type Pokémon."

"Flying-type Pokémon may not be able to withstand my Raichu's electric attack."

The lights in the gym were turned on, and his overall outfit looked like a soldier.

His attention shifted from Zapdos to Lars, and he suddenly wilted.

"What? I caught a Pokémon like this, but it's still a baby."

He didn't take Lars seriously at all.

“Chirp!”

Lars had no objection, but Zapdos had a strong one.

An invisible pressure enveloped the gym.

The miscellaneous soldiers dressed as gangsters around them all took a deep breath and dared not breathe.
