I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

Go to Route 1 and say hello to the Pokémon that are helping out on guard duty.

Yes, Highway 1 is currently only guarded by red and blue guards, which seems to indicate a shortage of manpower.

However, they could ask Pokémon for help. Although they didn't officially capture any Pokémon, the two of them still trained a group of Pokémon.

Pokémon are very simple creatures. If you treat them well, they will remember you for a long time, making it easy to become friends with them.

For this reason, Pokémon have also participated in the work of the forest rangers, so that even if there are only two people managing this place, there is no problem.

Moreover, they don't need to work the night shift, because there are quite a few nocturnal Pokémon nearby, and the first ones to contact them are a few owls.

Its body is brown, with six downward-pointing brown triangle patterns on its abdomen. The area above its eyes, which appears to be eyebrows, is V-shaped, making it look quite handsome.

Noctowl, an owl Pokémon, has eyes with a special structure that allows it to perceive its surroundings even in the dark.

It's like night vision goggles; when it starts thinking, it rotates its neck 180 degrees to improve brain efficiency.

Because he was quick-witted enough, he became a good partner for the Crimson and Green Guards on night watch, and his level was quite good.

Most of them are around level 40, and as long as they don't encounter that big-mouthed bird, they can basically suppress all kinds of emergencies on Route 1.

Even if they encounter such a situation, they can usually inform others in a timely manner.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do with those high-level big-billed sparrows?" Yang Xiying asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

How should the Red, Green, and Crimson birds deal with the big-billed finches? Given their aggressive nature and tendency to attack anyone they see, they seem completely unsuitable for staying here.

“Big-beaked sparrows…?” Upon hearing Yang Xiying’s words, Qinglu was taken aback before speaking, “They are indeed a group of delinquent teenagers in this area.”

"But there's no need to worry too much. Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't do anything to you."

“After all, we have already moved this group to the deepest part of the forest to the left of Route 1,” Green explained the reason.

"—If he can argue with this, then he must be either a red-haired person or someone who has no sense of direction."

"..."

Upon hearing Qinglu's words, Yang Xiying's eyelids twitched. Cangyan Blade Ghost had indeed said that when he confronted the big-eyed sparrow earlier.

We've trespassed into their territory, and walking around there does indeed feel like being deep in a forest...

"Hey, you can talk about the situation with the big-mouthed sparrow, why are you dragging me into this?" Crimson immediately showed a displeased expression.

“Because they’ll come after you the moment you step onto Route 1,” Green said, her dead fish eyes widening. “Even yesterday in Pallet Town…”

"I can still feel the hot wind and thunder coming from the suburbs, which is obviously because you are battling a Pokémon."

"And on Route 1, it seems like only the Spearow and Finch groups could make you put on such a show. Could it be that you also encountered Team Rocket?"

"..." Green's string of words silenced Crimson instantly, but she still spoke with some grievance.

"But this time I really tried my best to avoid the Bigmouth Sparrows, but who knew that I would be intercepted by them after only a short time on Route 1."

"They said their boss was attacked and they wanted to get revenge, but it was Mr. Yang who did it," the red-hatted man directly implicated Yang Xiying.

"..." Yang Xiying was even more speechless, while Qinglu showed an interested expression, "No wonder you asked about the big-beaked sparrow, Yang Xiying?"

The fact that Yang Xiying asked this question suggests that the Big-Mouthed Sparrow clan must have left a deep impression on him... Now both Crimson and the directionally challenged are present.

"But no matter what, those stupid birds were a bit too domineering. They attacked without saying a word just because they trespassed on their territory."

Yang Xiying looked displeased. Could he be blamed for this? These big-mouthed sparrows acted like bandits; it was clearly a sign of their poor upbringing.

"These are Pokémon with a strong sense of territory, and Red's frequent battles with them have made him increasingly aggressive."

Qinglv shrugged, looking like he couldn't do anything about it, then changed the subject, drawing everyone's attention to Owl Night Hawk.

"In short, enough of the gossip has been said. Now that Yang Xiying is a new member of the forest rangers, it would be better for her to get to know the Pokémon that help her on guard duty."

"They will also become your help as a forest ranger in the future, so you all heard that during the time that Red and I were traveling."

As she spoke, Green also addressed the owls perched on the branches, revealing a cynical smile.

"The work of the forest rangers will also be handed over to other people, including some newcomers, such as the black-haired man next to me."

"You should keep a close eye on him. If you want to see if he has the ability to maintain the stability of Route 1, you can fight him."

"Coo coo..." Hearing Qinglu's words, the night owls tilted their heads, and then one of the night owls flew to Yang Xiying.

It hovered around it for a while, and at this time, the red, green and blue leaves unconsciously scattered, which Yang Xiying also noticed.

The owl that had been circling around her was filled with intense fighting spirit. Finally, it came to Yang Xiying's front and then swooped down!

PS: I don't really know what to say this time... Oh, the Gridman universe is out, so the regrets of the first part are finally made up for.

It's no surprise that this is a computer-themed work; the combat power always manages to inflate to an unprecedented level, instantly creating a multiverse...

NO.39 Fire prevention is necessary in forests!

A flock of night owls has appeared!

Go forth, Azure Flame Blade Demon! Hazelnut Ball!

Azure Flame Blade Demon uses the Sword of Regret!

The owl flock has fallen!

"Cuckoo..."

Several mournful cries were heard, and several nightjars lost their balance in the air and fell to the ground, their bodies bearing burn marks.

As they attacked Yang Xiying, the Azure Flame Blade Demon appeared and instantly killed the swarm of Owl Night Hawks with a single group attack of the Regret Sword.

This is not surprising, as a level 60 Azure Flame Blade Demon is enough to cause a level crush, not to mention that the Owl Night Hawk is slower than the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Therefore, they also shrink at an extremely fast speed, turning into streaks of light and disappearing into the air, much like Pokémon returning to their Trainer Balls after a defeat.

"So you guys do manage to catch other Pokémon after all," Yang Xiying said, turning her gaze to the three people hiding to the side.

"—They've all run back into their Poké Balls, haven't they?"

"It's not really about subduing them, it's just about giving them a peaceful and comfortable home," Green said, walking over with Crimson Leaves.

"Poké Balls can still be used as nests for them," and their interiors will evolve into an environment best suited for Pokémon to live in.

"And compared to being subdued by me, they have jobs that are more suitable for them to do," everyone could hear the subtlety in Qinglu's words.

Blue-green needs Pokémon with strong fighting spirit as companions, while Noctowl... they also have their own lives.

However, in Yang Xiying's opinion, Noctowl is indeed not suitable for Pokémon battles, especially Master Battles.

—Because even if you put your head in the toilet, you couldn't figure out what a night owl could do.

"So, am I qualified in terms of practical combat?" Yang Xiying asked Qinglu, who responded directly.

"Of course, it's no wonder they can defeat Team Rocket with just two Pokémon."

Although watching Azure Blade Ghost Fight Owl has a bit of a bullying feel to it, this is the kind of real combat that rangers need to experience.

However, Yang Xiying did a good job. When the Night Hawk came out, he immediately released the Hazelnut Ball.

"Your Azure Flame Blade Demon has excellent control over flames. By concentrating them on the blade, you don't have to worry about burning the surrounding area."

Green continued, "For Pokémon Rangers, fire control is essential knowledge."

Otherwise, before they can even protect the mountains and forests, they'll burn them down themselves. That's why rangers generally don't use Fire-type Pokémon.

Flying-type and Grass-type Pokémon are the most suitable choices, one for navigating the skies and the other for being closer to nature than other Pokémon.

"But I still suggest you catch a Water-type Pokémon," but there are always exceptions, like Yang Xiying now.

"This will also help prevent fires in time, but catching Water-type Pokémon near Pallet Town still requires going to Route 21."

"--But most of them are Magikarp and Agate Jellyfish."

"Their distribution is indeed quite wide."

Yang Xiying nodded subconsciously. In the Pokémon games, the Pokémon that appear in the water are basically these two!

"But in terms of combat power, they are still quite strong, especially Magikarp, once it evolves," Red said at this moment.

"So, from what you're saying, Crimson, you want to catch a Magikarp?" Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow, even though Magikarp was considered food in this world.

But as the saying goes, "a carp leaps over the dragon gate," meaning Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados, and when it comes to Gyarados, there's a lot to say about it.

It can learn a wide range of skills; its Thunderbolt Freeze Beam and Flame Jet are almost like a water-type version of Nidoking.

Unfortunately, it lacks the Force ability, and its stats are similar to Azure Blade Ghost: Attack 125, Special Attack 60, and Special Defense 100.

In addition, its overconfidence almost guarantees that it can only rely on physical attacks, but even so, it won't be too weak.

In addition to its native Water-type moves, it can also learn Ice-type and Ground-type moves, making its coverage quite broad.

This allows it to counter Rock and Electric-type Pokémon, which are the only two weaknesses of Gyarados, a dual-type Water/Flying Pokémon.

Its attack speed-boosting move, Dragon Dance, is enough to make Garchomp envious. Finally, this thing can Mega Evolve.

"Yes, I'm also planning to catch a Water-type Pokémon, and the first gym I'm going to challenge is the Pewter Gym."

Red responded that to collect all eight Gym Badges, one must challenge the Gyms located in various cities and defeat the Trainers there.

They basically use Pokémon of the same type in battles, just like the Pewter City Gym, where all the trainers' Pokémon are Rock-type.

This requires Water, Grass, or Ground/Steel type to counter it, although your own team can also win.

The strategy involves repeatedly using Pikachu to high-five, ambush, and surf, but one cannot always rely on Pikachu; it's better to have a more diverse team.

"And this way we can also fight at the Viridian Gym, which is far from Pallet Town, but the Viridian Gym is often closed, so we have to go to other places first."

According to his travel itinerary, the first place he should have challenged was Evergreen Gym, where the trainers used a ground surface close to rocks.

So it can also use water-type attacks, but unfortunately the gym leader is a very busy man and you can't often see him in the gym.

“The Pyrenees Gym is a Rock-type Gym, so it’s a good place to challenge it with Water-type Pokémon,” Blue Green chimed in at this moment.

"However, the process of Magikarp evolving into Gyarados is very long," Magikarp is not useful for battle at all.

In that case, it will be difficult for it to level up. It might not even evolve into Magikarp by the time it reaches Crimson City.

"Besides, Gyarados isn't an easy Pokémon to get along with," Yezi chimed in, a hint of worry in her eyes.

In her mind, Gyarados was a terrifying Pokémon, and many coastal cities had suffered attacks from this species.

"It's alright. Since I've decided to challenge the Indigo League, I'll naturally have to match the intensity of my training with those powerful trainers."

Crimson didn't care about these issues at all.

"Doesn't Lance, one of the Elite Four, have a red Gyarados? I'm really looking forward to seeing how my own Gyarados compares to his."

—In addition, it can also be used to target Yang Xiying's Azure Flame Blade Demon.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, which Water-type Pokémon are you planning to catch?" Red couldn't help but ask Yang Xiying at this moment, as if something had just occurred to him.

"Is it a Gyarados like me, or a Tentacruel? Or some other Water-type?"

“Emmm…” Crimson’s words also made Green Leaf turn his gaze toward Yang Xiying, and he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Gyarados and my Azure Glaive have somewhat overlapping roles," both are physical attackers with similar resistances and are weak to Rock-type moves.

This makes it difficult to form a defensive alliance. Most importantly, its speed is similar to that of Blaze Blade, so he would rather catch an even slower Pokémon.

There is one Pokémon that suits him perfectly; it has a rather honest and simple appearance, which is very much in line with his kind-hearted Pokémon trainer nature.

If speed is the goal, there are indeed Pokémon in the Pallet Town waters that can match it, so much so that he can rule out Tentacruel.

Even after evolving, the Agate Jellyfish has a base speed stat of 100, and it always falls just short of the mark in everything it does.

It has Swords Dance but its Attack stat is low, its Special Attack is less than 100, and while it has resistances, its bulk is insufficient. It can be easily defeated by common Ground-type moves in battle.

—As a support unit, Hazelnut Ball is still better after it evolves.

"Finally, I also need to consider the difficulty of training Pokémon." Gyarados, that kind of volatile creature, can easily be ruined without the right methods.
