Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Professor Oak's face showed a proud yet nostalgic expression as he lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, it's my old buddy Dragonite that recently had a baby. And it's a very strong one, an extremely strong baby!"

Professor Oak specifically emphasized "very strong" twice.

Relevant information flashed through Shidou's mind instantly.

Professor Oak was a powerful trainer in his youth, and one of his main trainers was a Dragonite with champion-level strength.

This Dragonite appeared in the anime special "Pokémon the Terrifying" and possessed terrifying moves such as the powerful Hyper Beam. The talent and potential of this Dragonite's offspring are unimaginable!

Professor Oak continued, "That child has inherited the excellent bloodline of its parents, and I feel that leaving it in the lab is a waste of its fighting talent. I've observed your command and training of Pokémon, and I think you might be able to give it a better stage. Of course, it's different from Clefairy; once it's handed over to you, it will be your Pokémon, and you will have full authority to train it."

Upon hearing this, Shi Dou's heart stirred.

His original plan was to build a team of pure otherworldly Pokémon and use information asymmetry and unique skills to overwhelm them. However, the temptation of a direct descendant of a champion-level Dragonite was just too great!

A champion-level Dragonite hatchling... with absolutely top-tier talent. Furthermore, in the current version, Dragonite has undergone Mega Evolution, becoming the Mega Winged Dragonite with a base stat total of 700, already stepping into the realm of high-level Pokémon.

After all, in Seer, a base stat total of 700 is quite good, and it's definitely qualified to be one of the main characters.

and……

This was all for free.

Even if it turns out to be unsuitable for the main team, having it serve as the gym's goalkeeper or training partner alongside Ursaring would still be a top-tier setup!

With that thought in mind, Tokito no longer hesitated and solemnly nodded in agreement, saying, "Thank you very much for your trust, Professor Oak. It is my honor to have the opportunity to raise a Dragonite baby. I will do my best to live up to your and this Dragonite's expectations!"

Professor Oak smiled with relief when Tokito agreed: "Good, that's great! I believe the child will thrive here with you. I'll make the arrangements as soon as I get back, and I'll have someone deliver it safely to you in a few days."

Hearing this, Gary finally couldn't hold back any longer. He tugged at Professor Oak's sleeve and asked with a mix of grievance and expectation, "Gary, what about me? I want a Dragonite too!"

Professor Oak glanced at his grandson, deliberately putting on a stern face: "You? You need to rely on your own efforts and fate to catch powerful Pokémon! That's the path to becoming a trainer!"

Xiaomao: "???"

He looked incredulous, as if he had been adopted.

Seeing Shigeru's embarrassed expression, Tokito and Seida couldn't help but laugh.

After exchanging some more insights on Pokémon breeding, Professor Oak, filled with satisfaction and anticipation for the new Pokémon Clefairy, and the joy of having reached an agreement, prepared to take his leave.

Before leaving, Shigeru earnestly said to Tokito, "Gym Leader Tokito, I've lost again this time, but I won't give up so easily. Once I collect all eight badges and become stronger, I will definitely come back to challenge you!"

Gary already considers Tokito to be one of the strongest Gym Leaders in the Kanto region. Once he has collected all eight badges and qualified to participate in the Indigo League, he will seek out Tokito to test his strength.

Shi Tou looked at the young man before him, who was still proud but whose eyes now held a hint of composure and determination, and smiled as he replied, "Very good, I'm always ready. I look forward to your next performance."

Watching Professor Oak and Gary's figures disappear at the end of the street, Tokito's heart was filled with anticipation for the future. A Champion-level Dragonite offspring was undoubtedly a major boost on his path to becoming a powerful Gym Leader.

"Dragon-type Pokémon..."

Shi Dou muttered to himself, his mind involuntarily expanding with the concept of "dragon".

In this world, Dratini is the starting point and symbol of the Dragon type in the Pokédex. But in another world of Time Travel Memories, in the universe of Seer, when one speaks of "dragon," the first thing that comes to mind is that supreme king—

Hammerett!!

Hamorlet is the first Dragon-type Pokémon in the game "Seer". He is originally a Dragon Prince and is now the Dragon-type Pokémon King.

In the animation, Hamorlet is the prince of the Karan Dragon Clan. His home planet, Hamorlet, was occupied by the evil dragon army and the space pirate group Obi Organization. He lost his memory due to excessive grief.

With the help of Little Sel, Prince Hamo not only regained his memories but also drove away the space pirates, successfully reclaimed Hamo Star, and became the new leader of the Dragon Empire.

Later, when the Seer robots fought against evil forces, the dragons led by Hamorlet helped the Seers a lot.

As the king of the dragons, Hamorlet's strength is top-tier in both the game and animation settings. He possesses terrifying power capable of shaking the stars and can even rival the Holy Spirit King Puni. He is one of the ultimate partners that countless players dream of.

Its juvenile form is Hamo, its super evolution is Haxus, its true dragon awakening is Dragon God Haxus, its complete form is King Hamo, its war dragon form is War Dragon Hamo, and then it obtains the power of the dragon god to become Dragon God Hamo.

A divine dragon descends, summoning the gods in times of peril. The ancient dragon god, amidst a whirlwind of chaos, rises. The dragon treads on crimson mist, its voice echoing across the heavens. As if chaos had just been separated, and the primordial world had just begun to divide, the dragon god, Hamo, fearlessly and relentlessly descends!

Its base stats...a whopping 750!!

If Hamorlet could be summoned, it would be a true power comparable to a legendary Dragon-type Pokémon. Compared to Hilda and Julian, who had just arrived, Hamorlet's very existence was a deterrent.

However, Shi Dou also knew that it would take accumulating a huge amount of popularity to have any chance of summoning this super rare Dragon-type Pokémon King.

Chapter 42 Since we're all just sitting around doing nothing, let's all come out and get beaten up!

"Master of the Time Fighting Hall".

A crisp sound interrupted Shi Dou's reverie.

It's a sundae.

Sundae gave a slight bow, preparing to take her leave, and said, "Thank you very much for taking care of me these past two days. I should continue my journey to collect badges."

Sundae's current goal, like Shigeru's, is the Indigo League.

Tokito snapped out of his reverie, his gaze falling on the two exquisitely crafted ship tickets in his hand, a thought flashing through his mind. He looked up at Seida and spoke naturally:

“Sundae, wait. Since we have two tickets, how about... we go to the St. Anne together?”

"Huh?... Ah?!"

Sundae was visibly startled for a moment, then a blush spread visibly from her cheeks to her ears. She looked away somewhat flusteredly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, and said shyly:

"Let's go together? This... this is the legendary... date?"

Seeing Sundae's shy demeanor, so different from her usual model student image, Tokito found it somewhat amusing, but also belatedly realized that his invitation might easily lead to misunderstandings.

So he cleared his throat and explained in a calm tone, "Ahem, don't misunderstand. You see, if I go to a party, the gym can't be left unattended, and Bulbasaur and the others have to stay and guard it. I just think it's a waste to waste a precious ticket, and as a top student, you should be able to gain a lot of valuable experience by going there and exchanging ideas with trainers from all over the world. So, are you willing?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling!"

Sundae seemed to have her secret exposed, and immediately raised her head to retort:

"Since it's to gain battle experience and observe Pokémon from different regions, and as someone whose goal is to become a Pokémon Master, it's my duty to do so! Okay, I'm willing to go!"

As soon as she said it, Yuto Seidai seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit excessive, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended to straighten her not-so-messy skirt.

Seeing Sundae's attempt to cover up her misunderstanding, Tokito smiled slightly, glanced at the date on his ticket, and said, "The party is tomorrow. Shall we meet at the gym tomorrow morning? Then we can head to Vermilion City together."

"Yeah, no problem."

Sundae nodded vigorously and said quickly.

After Professor Oak and Gary left, the gym returned to peace.

Today is just another typical gym challenge day.

Several trainers who had come to challenge Shidou challenged him. In order to balance the difficulty of the gym and to gain experience, Shidou sent out Julian, who was currently the lowest level in his team.

In several battles, Julian performed exceptionally well, defeating his challengers cleanly and decisively.

The continuous battles brought rich experience rewards. Shi Dou could clearly feel that the energy within Julian's body was surging, and he would soon be able to break through his current strength and evolve into a more powerful Balus.

In contrast, Hilda's growth was much slower.

As one of the three Pokémon destined to become legendary, Hilda possesses unparalleled potential. Once it evolves into its final form, Incaros, its power will be comparable to many legendary Pokémon in this world.

But precisely because of this, Hilda's path to evolution is more difficult, requiring a much larger and purer accumulation of energy, and perhaps some special opportunities as well.

After dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the gym's backyard in a warm orange-red hue. Tokito didn't let this tranquility last long; he took out a Poké Ball, and a red light flashed.

"Since you're just idling around anyway, come out and get a beating, Circle Bear."

"Roar--!!"

The large, grumpy bear that we tamed in the forest yesterday landed with a thud. As soon as it appeared, it habitually stood up, brandishing its claws and letting out a deafening roar that proclaimed its power and discontent.

The roaring sound startled the entire fighting arena.

However, before its roar had completely subsided, suddenly, as if an invisible hand had gripped its throat, the volume plummeted, eventually turning into a few hesitant and... cowardly low growls.

Because the Circular Bear saw that beside Tokito, the taciturn Hilda, with arms like sharp scythes, was quietly "watching" it with her cold compound eyes.

The fear of being dominated by those scythes yesterday instantly surged into my heart.

Tokito pretended not to see the Ursaring Bear's sudden collapse in spirit and instructed Hilda, "Hilda, it will be your training target tonight. Pay attention to controlling your strength, and focus on practicing your combo rhythm and weakness detection."

Hilda silently stepped forward, her scythe-shaped forelimbs reflecting a cold light in the setting sun.

Circle Bear: "..."

It's this guy again! Can't we get someone else?!

Circle Bear said that the only thing they couldn't beat in the entire dojo was this strange praying mantis.

Haoli, who was exercising by lifting stone weights nearby, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene, and even grinned.

Hao Li thought with relief that he had finally found a more resilient "punching bag" and could finally escape the miserable fate of being "specially trained" by Hilda every day, which meant being beaten up one-sidedly.

However, before Hao Li's smile could last three seconds, he heard Tokito's voice, which sounded like a devil's whisper:

"Hawkward, don't just stand around either. Your opponent is Julian. Practice your close combat skills, but also be careful of Julian's water-based moves. Remember, strength isn't the only way to win."

Haoli's smile froze instantly, and the stone block in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud." Looking at Julian, who was already in a fighting stance, surrounded by a damp aura, Haoli felt a wave of dizziness wash over him; the sky seemed to have fallen. He thought a scapegoat had come, but it turned out he couldn't escape his fate of being subjected to special training!

After arranging the Pokémon's nighttime training, listening to the somewhat disheveled roars of Ursaring, the clear sound of flowing water from Julian, and the shouts of Machamp struggling against the attack coming from the backyard, Tokito nodded in satisfaction and turned back to his room.

As night deepened, the sounds of the elves training outside the window could be faintly heard, which only made the room feel more tranquil. Shi Dou sat at his desk and opened the [Pogaman TV] live streaming platform.

When the interface lit up and Dou saw the number displayed on his personal homepage, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Number of followers: 82,567

With less than 20,000 followers remaining to reach the goal of 100,000, Tokito's wish to obtain a third spirit from another world is within reach.

He browsed the comments section below the video and the live stream recording's bullet comments, and found that the most popular discussion point was still the tactics he had previously employed.

"It seems that unconventional tactics are the fastest way to attract popularity. If we can reach 100,000 followers in the next two days... I wonder what the third Pokémon will be?"

Shi Dou seemed to be deep in thought.

Chapter 43 Art is the Big Bang!

To increase his fan base, Shi Dou started his live stream tonight.

As soon as the screen lit up, the long-awaited barrage of comments flooded in.

[The streamer my grandma follows is finally live! What are we playing today?]

[Speaker Master, we've been waiting for you for so long!]

[Hurry up and bring it up, I can't wait to see the new dish!]

[Should I use cocoa butter to climb the ranks today, or develop a new strategy?]

Shi Dou looked at the lively comments and smiled reassuringly, "Good evening, everyone. Don't rush. Since this is an entertainment segment, we'll still play with completely random lineups today and see what cards the system will give us."

As he spoke, Shi Dou moved the mouse and lightly clicked the "Random Team" button on the game interface.

Swah——

The images of the six Pokémon are frozen on the screen.

The core four are: Coalossal, Dragapult, Indeedee (male), Incineroar, and two others: Forretress and Erangel.

The comments section immediately started to buzz:

[This lineup... Coalossal is ridiculously slow, Dragapult and Incineroar are fast, but they don't seem to coordinate well?]

Is the Constable a mind generator? It created a spatial dimension for the giant Coal Mountain? Doesn't that render the Dragapult useless?

[Hey streamer, how do you play this? It looks like it's going to fail.]

Your team composition looks a bit odd.

Shi Dou glanced at the lineup, a confident smile playing on his lips. "The lineup looks a bit contradictory, but that doesn't mean it can't be played. This time we're playing a doubles mode with four picks, which allows for some skillful maneuvering. Let me demonstrate how to make a seemingly random lineup work."

When Shi Dou clicked to match an opponent, the system quickly found a player.

Match successful! Opponent ID: Plain and simple is true happiness.

"Oh? Looks like a friend who values ​​stability." Shi Dou smiled. "Let's see if his 'plainness' is more powerful, or our 'randomness' is stronger."

Meanwhile, the town of Jinhui in the Padiya region is enveloped in a tranquil night and warm lights.

A man dressed smartly, but with his suit jacket casually draped over his arm, dragged his heavy steps into the town's famous "Bao Canteen".
