Chapter 15: Arrival In Pewter City

aay is Gary's fourth day in Viridian Forest. If he rides for another morning, he will almost leave Viridian Forest, and he will not have the chance to find the Pidgey he likes.

"It seems that I can only use my money."

Although he did not meet the Pidgey he liked, Gary did not care too much.

There are many ways to capture Pokémon, such as through fighting, making friends, etc., and the most common way is to buy it directly.

Although the Alliance strictly prohibits the sale of wild Pokémon, Pokémon in the breeding house are an exception. The Pokémon in the breeding house are all bred by the breeder himself, and such Pokémon are allowed to be sold.

Many breeding houses will specialize in breeding a certain Pokémon and put it on the market for Trainers to choose.

For some wealthy families, they will go to the breeding house to buy high-quality Pokémon for their children.

There are still many breeding houses that breed Pokémon like Pidgey. Pidgey itself is not a rare Pokémon, so the price will not be too expensive.

Gary did not stay in the Viridian Forest for long. He rode at full speed and arrived at the Pokémon Center in Pewter City at noon.

"Nurse Joy, please excuse me." Gary handed his Pokémon to Joy for examination.

Although the Pokémon were not injured, they still needed to be checked frequently. The Pokémon Center not only provided treatment, but also daily Pokémon care.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gary. If it weren't for you, the Pokémon Center in Viridian City would have a major safety hazard. I will take good care of your Pokémon." Joy assured.

"Thank you."

Gary was not surprised. The Pokémon Centers all belonged to the Joy family, and they were all connected to each other.

What happened in the Viridian Pokémon Center was not a small matter. It is estimated that all the Pokémon Centers in the Kanto Region held a safety meeting because of Viridian City.

Gary walked to the public telephone area and called Professor Oak.

Professor Oak spent most of his time in the Laboratory, specializing in Pokémon research.

"Oh! Gary, where are you? Why did you call me just now?" Professor Oak saw that the person on the screen was Gary, and he felt a little bit of blame.

It has been almost a week since Gary left Pallet Town, and he has not called Professor Oak once.

"Hey, I'm here to report that I am safe." Gary showed the look of a child who made a mistake and interrupted: "By the way, Grandpa, do you know anyone in the police station?"

"Police? Team Rocket is targeting you?" Professor Oak's face was stern and he suddenly became serious.

Gary was surprised.

Professor Oak mentioned Team Rocket, obviously he knew about the situation in Viridian City.

"No." Gary hurriedly shook his head and denied.

"Then why did you ask me if I know anyone in the police station?" Professor Oak was also relieved.

Gary is the only child in Professor Oak's family, and something might happen to him.

"I want to breed an Arcanine, but as you know, wild Arcanine and Growlithe are hard to come by. They are all raised by Interpol. If you want to get an Arcanine, you can only go to Interpol to apply to adopt a Growlithe." Gary explained.

"So you want to breed an Arcanine... I know someone in the police. Wait for me and I'll ask for you."

After that, Professor Oak hung up the phone.

Gary waited quietly.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the public phone rang again.

Gary answered the phone, and Professor Oak's head appeared on the video.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" Gary asked anxiously.

This is related to whether the mission can be completed.

Although according to the original plot, Gary also has an Arcanine, but that Arcanine is too weak.

In the Silver Conference game, Gary's Arcanine was killed instantly by Ash's Snorlax's destructive death ray, which really embarrassed the Arcanine.

So Gary felt that even if he could meet Growlithe in the future, his potential would be quite low.

"I asked for you. A nest of Growlithe was born in the police station of Cerulean City. I applied for you. When you arrive in Cerulean City, just go to the police station to adopt one." Professor Oak said.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

As expected, the famous professor is not Normal, and even the Interpol organization has to give him some face.

"By the way, Gary, where are you traveling now?" Professor Oak began to ask about Gary's situation.

"I have arrived in Pewter City and am planning to challenge the Pewter Gym tomorrow." Gary said.

"You are really fast. The gym leader of the Pewter Gym is not weak. Even if you have an advantage in the Squirtle Attribute, you still have to be careful." Professor Oak reminded.

Is Brock very strong?

Although Brock is a very good gym trainer, the Pokémon he has are Geodude and Big Rock, and their levels are not high.

Of course Gary doesn't know.

The gym leader Professor Oak is talking about is Brock's father, Flint.

In fact, every gym trainer in Kanto Region is not weak, but the acting gym owner messed it up later.

Whether it is Pewter gym or Cerulean gym, the original gym owners are very powerful trainers, and their strength is basically at the quasi-elite level, and some are even elite trainers.

For example, Koga, the gym trainer of Fuchsia City, has elite strength.

In the near future, the top leaders of the Trainer Association will appoint koga the Elite Four of Johto Region Alliance.

Don't think that koga is not strong in the original plot, but that's just his pretense. After all, the task of gym trainers is to test the challenged trainers. If they all fight with their strongest strength.

Few people can collect 8 badges to participate in the Indigo Plateau Conference.

And even if it is called the weakest Cerulean gym, it is not weak.

Misty's father is a very strong trainer who is proficient in water Pokémon. He left several powerful water Pokémon for his four daughters.

But the four daughters were not motivated at all, and none of them could get the recognition of those powerful water Pokémon, and they could not be used in battle, so they gradually became third-rate gyms.

And it is not good for the gym to be too strong, because if the gym is too strong, no one will challenge it.

This can be referred to Blaine of Cinnabar Gym. He used all his strength in every gym battle, resulting in no Trainer to challenge Cinnabar Gym.

Over time, Cinnabar Gym even became a legend, and even people on Cinnabar Island thought that Cinnabar Gym was closed.

It can be said that gyms are quite difficult to manage. The gym owner not only needs to have strength, but also needs to operate the gym. The gym cannot be built too strong or too weak.

"Grandpa, I will be careful." Knowing that Professor Oak was worried about himself, Gary also followed Professor Oak's words.

"By the way, Gary, how many Pokémon have you captured now?" Professor Oak ask.
