"Phew~" Tetsuya let out a breath.
He had just finished watching a healing movie, and he was feeling a bit down.
Combusken couldn't watch it halfway through and returned itself to its Poke Ball to rest.
He checked the navigation time, and there were less than twenty minutes left.
Tetsuya canceled the automatic navigation and sped up.
The Pidgeot in the sky lazily flapped its wings and followed.
After all, for it, this speed was no different from a stroll. If it were to fly at full speed, it would only take a little over three minutes to fly from Viridian City to Pewter City.
It didn't understand why its Trainer had to spend over three hours on the road; it was simply boring.
Tetsuya didn't know that his Pidgeot was complaining about him. He was still enjoying the thrill of high-speed driving.
It was only because there was no one on the main road; otherwise, something would definitely happen if Tetsuya drove like this.
"Zzz~"
Tetsuya braked the electric scooter to a stop, got off, and returned it to his Spatial Backpack.
He also called Pidgeot down and returned it to its Poke Ball to prevent it from being mistaken for a wild Pokemon and cleared out by the City Guardians of the Gym if they got too close to the city.
Tetsuya strolled towards the entrance of Pewter City.
Pewter City, also known as Ash Gray City, Rock City, or Space City, is located at the junction of Viridian Forest and Mt. Moon.
The surrounding terrain is similar to a basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the forest on one side.
Thanks to its special location, Pewter City has a rich geological environment and is abundant in various rocks, making it the largest rock production area in the Kanto Region.
Not only that, but there are also various Ancient Pokemon Fossils in the Mt. Moon mountain range. Both collectors and Pokemon Researchers have great interest in these fossils.
Complete Pokemon Fossils are treasures for collectors, and their prices can be higher than you can imagine.
Researchers, on the other hand, welcome them all. Through gene extraction technology, they can conduct research in many aspects, regardless of whether the fossil is complete.
Currently, no one has publicly developed Fossil Revitalization Technology, but Tetsuya feels that he can also find a way to collect some first.
Once Fossil Revitalization Technology appears, the price of fossils will definitely skyrocket in the future.
Moreover, Fossil Valley doesn't seem to be known or developed yet. Tetsuya feels that he can find time to make a fortune from it.
For Trainers, the most attractive thing about Pewter City is Mt. Moon, not only because of the Pokemon living there but also because there is an extremely rare Evolution Stone in Mt. Moon – the Moon Stone.
There are a large number of Clefairy in Mt. Moon. Legend has it that Clefairy are creatures from the Moon, and the corresponding Moon Stone is very likely a Meteorite from space, which can evolve them.
A large part of the reason why every Trainer comes here to explore is to obtain a Moon Stone and make a fortune.
Tetsuya, however, knows that there is a Clefairy Tribe in Mt. Moon, and there is a giant Moon Stone that can evolve Clefairy.
However, that kind of place is only something to think about for now. Leaving aside how strong the tribe inside is and whether he can even get close, the Alliance has probably known about it and sealed it off long ago, making it impossible to enter.
At the same time, Pewter City is also famous for its aerospace technology. The only museum in the Kanto Region, the Pewter City Science Museum, has records of Pewter City's past aerospace achievements.
However, later, with the shift in the economic focus, coupled with Mossdeep City in the Hoenn Region also starting related development, Pewter City gradually gave up research on aerospace technology.
Today, only the museum still records the past aerospace glory of Pewter City.
Tetsuya walked on the main street of Pewter City after lunch, looking around. The buildings were all dark gray.
Compared to Viridian City, the people around were younger and more energetic.
Tetsuya has many goals for this trip, the first and foremost being his grand plan to make money.
He also plans to start challenging Gyms, capture and complete his main team of Pokemon, and participate in the Regional Conference.
There are two purposes. The first is to improve his Trainer rank.
The Normal Level certification is very simple. As long as you have one Elite or higher level Pokemon, or two Normal Level Pokemon, you can complete the certification.
Tetsuya completed the certification and became a Normal Level Trainer after his Pidgeotto broke through to Elite.
However, the Elite Level certification not only requires the Trainer to have three or more Pokemon of the same level but also requires the Trainer to have entered the main competition in at least one Regional Conference.
Quasi-Elite Four, in addition to requiring Pokemon levels, also requires the Trainer to have achieved a top four result in a Regional Conference.
As for Elite Four, it requires at least six Elite Four Level Pokemon to pass the certification, and there is no requirement for conference results.
As for the levels above that, Tetsuya is not very clear, but he assumes they are relatively simpler.
High-level Trainers also receive different benefits and are more likely to obtain positions in the Alliance.
Therefore, participating in Gym Battles and Regional Conferences is inevitable.
The second is to obtain investment.
Regional Conferences are actually a stage for Trainers who are not descendants of large families to showcase themselves.
Every year, Trainers obtain investment from others through their performance on this stage, making their Trainer journey smoother.
This is also true for Tetsuya, but according to his plan, Tetsuya will focus on the Johto League Conference two years later.
As for the Indigo Plateau Conference, it will be more casual, because collecting and raising Pokemon still takes time. Tetsuya estimates that he may not be able to gather six main Pokemon by then.
Or rather, if they are not well-trained, he will need to temporarily capture some wild Pokemon to fill the numbers.
Tetsuya arrived at the service hall of the Pokemon Center, ready to start booking his Gym Battle.
One must understand that Gym Battles in this world are not simple matters.
It's not like in the anime from his previous life, where you just walk in, the Gym Leader is there, and you just have to battle.
Gym Leaders are very busy; they not only have to ensure the safety of the entire city's surroundings but also manage various commercial activities and the city's development.
While Gym Battles are their duty, it's not something anyone can just do anytime they please.
First, you have to make a reservation and register your information.
This is mainly to allow the Gym to know the strength of your Pokemon and then use Pokemon of roughly equivalent strength to battle you.
After all, the strength of every official Gym Leader is required to be at least that of a genuine Elite Four, meaning they have a team of six main Pokemon that have reached Elite Four Level.
It's impossible for a Trainer who has just started their journey to have the Gym Leader use their main Pokemon to battle them.
Generally, based on the strength of your Pokemon and your age, they will send out a corresponding Apprentice to battle you.
After completing the reservation, Tetsuya used his premium status to book a single room and put his backpack in the room.
Before the reservation confirmation arrived, Tetsuya planned to explore Pewter City first and enjoy the atmosphere of a city completely different from Viridian City, where he had lived since childhood.
After tidying up his things, Tetsuya went out.
Seeking investments, seeking collections, seeking recommendations!!!
Seeking everything!!
