On the outskirts of Viridian Forest, Gary encountered a Scyther of excellent aptitude.

"Swoosh!" As expected of a born warrior, the Scyther's entire aura became incredibly sharp once it entered battle!

Although trembling from hunger, its scythes still whirled with formidable power.

Clang! A transparent crescent-shaped airwave flew towards Charmander; this was Scyther's Supersonic attack.

"Charmander, Smokescreen!" Gary didn't want to engage Scyther in close combat, as Charmander's physique was still slightly inferior.

"Waaah!" Charmander opened its mouth, and a cloud of black smoke enveloped Scyther.

The latter showed no panic, crossing its two scythes over its chest, preparing to use Swords Dance.

This move could both disperse the smoke and increase its attack power, which was undeniably very well-executed.

However, Gary wouldn't give it that chance. I wonder if anyone has noticed that Koffing's Smokescreen, when it encounters fire, can cause an explosion.

Gary had experimented with this before; the black smoke contained a large amount of flammable gas, just needing a small spark~

"Charmander, Smoke Burn!" Gary snapped his fingers.

Crack! Charmander's mouth closed, then a spark flew out as its teeth bit together.

Boom!! The entire Smokescreen ignited.

"Swoosh!" Scyther was instantly engulfed in flames. It quickly swung its scythes and rushed out of the fire's encirclement.

However, already dizzy from hunger, and now roasted by the flames, Scyther was at its last gasp.

"Swoosh!" Scyther suddenly flapped its wings with force, its sharp scythes thrusting towards Charmander.

This Quick Attack was its last remaining strength.

"Charmander, Dragon Claw!" Gary naturally wouldn't disappoint the warrior's spirit, confronting Scyther's final attack head-on.

Bang! Charmander spread its claws, and green energy transformed into giant Dragon Claws, which it swung fiercely in a cross pattern.

Boom!! A cloud of dust exploded directly in the center of the two.

Crack!! Suddenly, a clap of thunder echoed in the sky, and rain began to fall over the forest.

Gary looked up at the lightning in the distance; it seemed Ash was done. He needed to speed up too.

As the dust settled, Gary looked towards Charmander.

He saw Charmander and Scyther lying together, both injured.

"To still end in a one-for-one trade, even with such a huge difference in stamina," Gary nodded. This Scyther indeed had a lot of guts.

Without further hesitation, he directly threw a poké ball at Scyther.

Snap, Scyther turned into a wisp of red light and was drawn into the poké ball.

"Alright, let's go too."

After putting away the poké ball, Gary returned Eevee and Charmander to their poké balls. He then walked along the main road.

After two hours of walking, by the late afternoon when the sky was faintly red, the entrance to Viridian City appeared before Gary's eyes.

"That's it?" Gary didn't understand how anyone could get lost on such a straight road.

"Hey, hey, hey, you, you, you, stop right there!" Suddenly, a Growlithe darted out, followed by a police officer who came before Gary.

"Officer Jenny, hello." Gary proactively took out his pokedex.

"You know me?" Officer Jenny was surprised.

"Who doesn't know that the Jenny Family is a police Family? Maintaining world peace depends on you all," Gary spread his hands.

The two most famous female families in the Alliance, the Jenny and Joy Families, respectively controlled the Alliance's public safety and medical positions. They could be said to be the most influential families.

The reproductive ability of these two families, almost like copy-pasting, was also a topic of much discussion.

No matter what the father looked like, if a daughter was born, she would definitely have an identical appearance, like a mold. One could only say that the chromosomes of the Jenny and Joy Families were truly amazing...

"Let me see, this pokedex~" Jenny took the pokedex and fiddled with it for a while, and the identity information popped up.

"This pokedex is issued to Gary of Pallet Town. Please note, if it is lost or damaged, it cannot be reissued temporarily." Professor Oak's voice came from the pokedex.

Gary pouted, "Lies, there are clearly several spares in the drawer at home~"

"Very good, identity confirmed. You may enter the city." Returning the pokedex to Gary, Officer Jenny said kindly.

"Has anything strange happened recently? Why are there checkpoints at the entrance?" Gary asked curiously.

"That's because a group of Pokemon thieves has recently arrived in the city, so don't run around after dark," Officer Jenny reminded him.

"Alright, thanks for the reminder, I'll be going now." Thanking Officer Jenny, Gary walked into Viridian City without looking back.

A regular Team Rockets squad, generally speaking, consists of a squad leader and three to five members.

The average level of the Pokemon held by the members is around level 18, while the squad leader's is around level 25. If Gary were to encounter them now, he would find it troublesome.

However, the Team Rocket Trio were an exception. After all, it was not easy for a training camp to produce both Jessie and James, these two 'Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks', at the same time.

With level 18 Koffing and Ekans nurtured by Team Rockets, they were somehow defeated by a Caterpie.

No one would believe it if you told them!

Therefore, Gary was very welcoming of these three experience babies.

While it was still early, Gary deliberately detoured to take a look at the Viridian Gym.

The magnificent ancient Greek architectural style, coupled with the Spartan warrior guards at the entrance, showed that our boss Giovanni was still very wild at heart.

However, for Gary to challenge this Gym now, Gary expressed that it was unacceptable; he couldn't challenge it at all... Not to mention the possibility of a Mewtwo popping out, even Giovanni's Pokemon, which were often level 40 or 50 and above, were not something Gary could challenge now...

Unless his own grandpa was willing to provide him with the three powerful 'crossing-the-river dragons' from his backyard for the battle, otherwise Gary didn't want to go seek abuse from Giovanni at all...

While the sun hadn't yet turned red, Gary arrived at the Pokémon Center just in time.

He registered his Pokemon for express recovery and, during the waiting period, called Professor Oak to report his safety.

Buzz Buzz The video connected~

A beaker containing instant noodles came into view...

"Grandpa~!" Gary called out, annoyed.

"Oh dear, the camera is reversed!" Professor Oak gave an awkward smile and quickly switched the screen.

"How are you, my dear grandson? Where are you now?" Professor Oak tried to cover up the fact that he was cooking instant noodles in a beaker.

"Come on, I saw it." Gary squinted towards the corner.

Professor Oak scratched his head awkwardly: "Well, you know, when I'm researching, I don't like to run around, and besides, I've washed the beaker..."

"Sigh~ Grandpa, putting aside whether cooking instant noodles in a beaker is rigorous or not, it's not healthy! Didn't I buy you a lot of frozen food?" Gary said earnestly.

"Hahahaha, alright, I know, I'll go cook some dumplings later." Professor Oak quickly stopped Gary from talking, otherwise, he didn't know how long he'd be lectured...
