Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

As Zhang Feng listened, he came to understand what had happened!

It turns out that this little girl named Xiaoli was a novice trainer who had just turned ten two weeks ago and was eligible to receive her starter Pokémon. She chose Treecko as her starter Pokémon!

However, Xiaoli didn't enjoy traveling; instead, she treated the gecko like a pet, never letting it fight and dressing it up every day!

This made Treecko dissatisfied with his trainer, so he abandoned his trainer and returned to the research lab!

Then, the little girl who had lost her starter Pokémon ran back to the research institute crying!

No, can someone with this kind of personality be a trainer?

Sure enough, being a direct descendant of the alliance, life is so comfortable!

……

Chapter 4 Treecko Abandons Its Trainer!

After learning the whole story, Zhang Feng curiously looked at the Treecko in front of him. With the help of the system, the Treecko's attribute panel appeared in front of Zhang Feng!

Elf: Treecko (Hungry)

clergy: None

Rating: 15

Features: Lush

property: grass

Quality: Purple (Quality ranges from low to high: white, green, blue, purple, gold, red, and rainbow!)

Bond Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Seed Machine Gun, Leaves, Trouble Seeds, Photosynthesis, Quick Attack

Intimacy: 0

Experience: I've encountered numerous failed starter Pokémon selections, and I'm extremely dissatisfied with useless trainers. I'd rather be alone than encounter a useless trainer.

Hobbies: Enjoys spicy food, desires to become stronger

Upon seeing the Wood Gecko's attribute panel, its impressive history, and its purple-level aptitude, Zhang Feng's eyes lit up!

This purple-quality Treecko can evolve twice. So, if it evolves into Sceptile, there's a high probability it will become a gold-quality tree, right?

You should know that ordinary Pokémon usually have white or green aptitudes; these are the most common Pokémon you find on the roadside!

The starter Pokémon prepared for the League's direct lineage are generally blue-quality starter Pokémon, and most of them can eventually evolve to purple quality. These Pokémon can become powerful helpers for trainers!

A starter Pokémon with purple aptitude is indeed quite rare; usually only pseudo-legendary Pokémon start with purple aptitude!

Now that Zhang Feng has encountered one, and it's even a starter Pokémon that actively abandoned its trainer, how could Zhang Feng not seize this opportunity?

With this template and the initial three starter Pokémon, this is definitely the best of the current version!

Moreover, this little guy loves spicy food, which is a good starting point, since he's currently hungry!

Seeing Dr. Birch's troubled expression and Xiaoli's constant crying, Zhang Feng stepped forward and spoke up!

"Doctor, I have an idea that might solve your current predicament!"

For Professor Birch, it was wrong of him to let the starter Pokémon abandon its trainer, since starter Pokémon are usually very obedient!

At least, there won't be any cases of trainers rebelling against their own trainers!

Now, Xiaoli's failure is also a problem for Xiaotianjuan!

After all, as a regional professor, those who can receive their starter Pokémon from him all come from very wealthy families and are direct descendants of the League!

Furthermore, the League also has assessments regarding the relationship between starter Pokémon and novice trainers!

Choosing the wrong Pokémon, giving a Treecko that is too strong-willed to be considered a starter Pokémon to a timid novice trainer!

This can lead to situations where trainers and their starter Pokémon don't get along, and it turns out that Professor Birch is to blame!

This will affect the authority and assessment of regional PhDs!

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Dr. Birch, who had a good impression of him, had no choice but to agree!

"Xiao Feng, do you have any good ideas?"

After hearing what Professor Birch said, Zhang Feng also said!

"Professor, it's simple. Just give her a gentle starter Pokémon. This Treecko seems to have a strong personality and isn't suitable to be a trainer who treats Pokémon like decorative pets!"

Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Professor Birch sighed helplessly.

“I’ve thought about this problem too. As a professor, I can certainly apply for new starter Pokémon, but this Treecko refuses to follow any other trainer. Until I’ve settled things with it, I can’t apply for new starter Pokémon!”

"If I want to get a new starter Pokémon, I need to find a suitable owner for this little guy first!"

"The Pokémon League has regulations regarding starter Pokémon, and they don't want these starter Pokémon to encounter bad trainers and be abandoned. I just didn't expect that Treecko would actually abandon its trainer. This is the first time I've seen this..."

Hearing Professor Birch's words, Zhang Feng was actually quite pleased!

This is truly a golden opportunity!

"So that's it!"

"Doctor, actually, I've always wanted to travel. If possible, could you let me try to catch this Treecko?"

"If we succeed, Professor, you will not only solve Treecko's problem of not being able to find a beginner trainer, but you will also be able to complete your mission. And this little girl can continue to apply and get a satisfactory new Pokémon!"

"And I will also be able to obtain a starter Pokémon and embark on my own travel adventure. If I succeed, I will be extremely grateful to the Doctor!"

After hearing Zhang Feng's words, Dr. Birch couldn't help but start to scrutinize Zhang Feng more closely!

Although Professor Birch initially felt sorry for Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng was sensible and often took the initiative to help others, which made him well-liked by the Pokémon in the research institute, Professor Birch also felt it was a pity that he was eighteen years old and had not yet embarked on the path of becoming a trainer!

But now, upon hearing Zhang Feng mention that he wanted to become a trainer and catch this Treecko, Professor Birch naturally didn't hesitate much!

The fear is that the Treecko in front of us will still be unable to establish a bond with Zhang Feng, which would instead bring harm to both Zhang Feng and the Treecko!

But then Dr. Birch thought about it again, and realized that this was indeed the best solution at the moment!

Furthermore, regional professors are capable of recognizing outstanding trainers, granting them starter Pokémon, and issuing them Pokédex entries!

Since Zhang Feng has this idea!

Until Treecko finds a suitable trainer, Professor Birch will be unable to apply for new Pokémon!

Why not let Zhang Feng give it a try? If it works, everyone will be happy!

Even if it doesn't work out, there are other Pokémon in the research institute. If there really is a Pokémon willing to travel with Zhang Feng, it's not impossible to give this trainer with a dream a chance!

With that in mind, Professor Birch agreed!

Then, Professor Birch handed the Treecko's Poké Ball to Zhang Feng!

Zhang Feng was delighted to see that Professor Tomato had indeed given him this opportunity!

Soon, he took out a spicy tree fruit—the Wuhua fruit—from his system space!

"Little one, this is for you!"

Spicy Berry, a type of spicy berry, can normally restore the stamina of Pokémon with low stamina, but if a Pokémon dislikes spicy flavors, it will cause the Pokémon to become confused!

There were many of these tree fruits in Zhang Feng's system space, so with a thought, he took the Wuhua Fruit from the system space into his own hands!

Originally, Mu Shou Gong also looked down on Zhang Feng!

However, upon smelling the spicy aroma of the shiitake mushroom, the already hungry gecko sniffed and then looked at Zhang Feng!

When Professor Birch saw this, he looked somewhat surprised!

The spicy berry, I never knew before. Zhang Feng had such knowledge, he could tell at a glance that this gecko liked spicy food!

Normally, only Fire-type Pokémon like spicy food, so it's quite rare to see a Grass-type Pokémon like spicy food!

Sure enough, faced with the temptation of food, the gecko reluctantly came to Zhang Feng!

In any case, the little guy is hungry right now!

Since we're hungry, we should eat!

Zhang Feng, holding the Wuhua Fruit in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Wood Ghoul was willing to come over and eat the Wuhua Fruit from his hand!

"Ding-dong, Treecko's affinity with you has increased to 30!"

From this perspective, it's not impossible to capture this proud tree gecko!

Indeed, as long as you don't have malicious intent, knowing their preferences and gaining their friendship seems to be a very simple thing!

……

Chapter 5: Capture Treecko and Simulate Battle!

At this moment, seeing the gecko standing in front of Zhang Feng, happily eating the fruit, Xiao Li stopped crying. Professor Birch and Joshua exchanged a glance, and a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes!

Who would have thought that Zhang Feng might be a trainer with potential?

At the very least, it's not easy to easily understand the preferences of the Pokémon in front of you and gain their initial approval!

Generally speaking, this is something only breeders can do!

Also, how did Zhang Feng obtain the relatively rare tree fruit, the Wuhua fruit?

With some questions in mind, I heard Professor Birch say...

"It seems this gecko is indeed destined for you, Xiao Feng. But, Xiao Feng, where did you get the Wuhua fruit?"

Hearing Professor Birch's question, Zhang Feng replied helplessly!

"To be honest, Professor, I originally planned to go to Petalburg Woods to catch a Bug-type Pokémon and embark on the path of a Pokémon Trainer!"

"As it turned out, I was lucky enough not to encounter any Pokémon along the way, but I did manage to pick a few berries. Since it was getting dark, I had no choice but to go home, thinking I'd go again next time!"

"I came to visit you today, Professor. Thinking back on what happened before, I still feel a little scared. If I had encountered a vicious wild Pokémon, I might not have made it back alive. That's why I mustered up the courage to ask you if you could lend me a Pokémon so I can catch my starter Pokémon!"

As Zhang Feng said this, Professor Birch's face darkened, but when he thought of Zhang Feng's family situation, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Xiao Feng, how could you be so reckless with your safety? If you really want to get your starter Pokémon, you can just come to me directly. Why risk your life?"

Listening to Dr. Birch's ramblings, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile sheepishly!

"Alright, don't do such dangerous things again. I think you and Treecko get along quite well. Treecko, I'm counting on you from now on!"

"I hope that the two of you can help each other succeed. This little guy's potential is far from limited to this!"

After saying that, Professor Birch took out a new version of the Pokédex!

"Here's the Pokédex for you too. You can look up details on all the Pokémon in Hoenn, including those from Kanto and the Orange Islands. Since you've decided to become a Trainer, you'd better work hard!"

"Doctor, I will support you too!"

Zhang Feng thanked Dr. Birch repeatedly for his support!

After obtaining Treecko's Poké Ball, Zhang Feng retrieved it and transferred it directly into the system space!

Soon, after receiving the Pokédex and five Poké Balls from Professor Birch, Zhang Feng bid farewell to Professor Birch and Joshua and left the research institute!

You could say that getting a Pokédex is like getting a certified identity in the Pokémon world!

With him, no matter where Zhang Feng goes, as long as he shows this Pokédex, even if he enters a crime scene, Officer Jenny will not consider Zhang Feng a suspect!

This is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card from the Elf League!

Professor Birch, with his connections and status, guarantees that Zhang Feng will definitely be an excellent and righteous trainer!

After returning home, Zhang Feng had a thought and entered the system space. There, he saw Treecko staring intently at Rayquaza soaring in the sky and letting out a low roar!

It's as if he's saying that he also wants to become such a powerful being!

For Treecko, the last thing he wants is to encounter a useless trainer!

Like that Xiaoli before, if he were to become a costumed pet, he'd rather die!

Now, he has been handed over to Zhang Feng by Professor Birch. It was only because of hunger and the temptation of the Flour that Treekia was willing to stay by Zhang Feng's side for the time being!

But now that he realized that the powerful legendary Pokémon Rayquaza in front of him was also Zhang Feng's Pokémon, Treecko had no further objections!

Feeling the powerful divine beast aura emanating from Rayquaza, Treecko was also filled with excitement!
