★★★
He had spiky brown-yellow hair, a handsome face with a hint of rebelliousness, and wore a black short-sleeved shirt and purple trousers, exuding a strong aura of sharp confidence.
Green!
The first Champion in the history of the games!
Anyone who played the original Pokémon games as a child would never forget him.
That rival from the first generation, the Professor Oak's grandson, the final opponent!
When you stepped onto Victory Road to challenge the Elite Four, you defeated Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, and finally Lance.
And Lance would tell you that before you, someone had already defeated all four of them to become the new Elite Four Champion!
To truly win, you had to defeat him again.
Yes, it was this person, named Green!
The first Elite Four Champion in the true sense of Pokémon history, Green!
He was also known as the Champion with the shortest tenure in history.
Well, after all, he hadn't even warmed his seat before he was pulled down.
There have been many protagonists and rivals throughout the game series, but the most memorable ones are only Red, Green, this pair of bros.
Green was the rival Champion of the first generation, and in the Gold and Silver series, Green became the Viridian Gym Leader and also appeared in subsequent series.
After Red defeated Green and became Champion, he gave up the Champion position for better training and climbed alone to the summit of Mt. Silver, also serving as the final hidden boss in the Gold and Silver series.
Yes, this pair of bros can be said to be special mainstays.
Besides their own game series, they often make guest appearances in other game series.
"It's Green, huh."
Ryuga looked at the young man with the sharp and arrogant demeanor, a slow smile spreading across his lips.
This was truly… such a pleasant surprise!
Green has three versions: the top genius in the game who became Champion in one year; Gary, who was equally arrogant in the anime but lacked the matching talent and later became a researcher after being defeated by Ash and Gary, the calm breeder in the special chapter.
Aside from the anime, Green and the special chapter's Gary are both geniuses among geniuses, as the special chapter's Gary was originally modeled after Green.
And the one in front of him, his aura wouldn't lie.
This arrogant and wild demeanor definitely belonged to Green.
But Ryuga could feel that unique aura of a strong person and the will of a Champion.
This young man in front of him was a Champion Trainer!
"If he's a Champion, that means he didn't just start his journey."
Ryuga narrowed his eyes slightly.
Green was indeed an undeniable top genius.
His ability to become a Champion in one year was no joke.
But even a genius has limits.
It was February now, and new Trainers had only been on their journey for a little over a month.
Becoming a Champion Trainer in just over a month?
How could he not fly to the heavens?
But last year at the Indigo League, there was no mention of a person named Green, which meant that Green had been training all last year and did not participate in the Indigo League.
And at this moment, in the arena.
Aside from Green, standing opposite him was a mature middle-aged man in an expensive black suit, who was none other than the Viridian Gym Leader Giovanni.
On the sidelines was a purple-haired, glasses-wearing beauty in an OL uniform, Giovanni's secretary Matori.
"Gym Leader Giovanni, it's been a long time."
Green's handsome face held a hint of a wild smile as he spoke to Giovanni.
He knew Giovanni because he had also challenged Giovanni during his training last year.
"It has indeed been a long time. It seems you're planning to participate in the Indigo League this year."
Giovanni held a polite smile, smiling at Green.
"That's right. After a year of training, I've chosen the Pokémon most suitable for me. This year at the Indigo League, I, the great one, will win!"
The smile on Green's lips deepened, and he slightly raised his chin, saying arrogantly, with astonishing confidence and wildness!
He had always been this kind of person.
He possessed the most excellent talent!
He was Professor Oak's grandson!
From a young age, Green had followed Professor Oak, absorbing and learning Pokémon knowledge, because his dream was extremely pure!
He, Green, wanted to become the world's number one Trainer!
It was this pure and persistent dream that led him to where he was today!
"Tsk tsk~ What an arrogant young man."
Hearing Green's words, Karen couldn't help but click her tongue.
Such a young person, fearless like a newborn calf, was truly ignorant and unafraid.
And, this wild temperament, why did it feel so familiar?
Karen glanced at Ryuga.
Indeed, there was a resemblance.
"Heh heh~ Then this year's Indigo League will be very lively. So, you're here today to challenge me for my badge?"
Giovanni did not lose his composure due to Green's arrogant words, maintaining his mature and polite smile, his voice full of magnetism.
Because he knew that Green wasn't being arrogant!
He had met this young man, who had just started his journey last year, and Giovanni had always had only one attitude towards Green.
Monster!
Yes, a monster!
The word 'genius' was no longer enough to describe this proud young man.
As the Gym Leader of Viridian Gym, Giovanni had indeed seen geniuses, but he had never seen a monster as terrifying as Green.
When Green came to challenge him in the middle of last year, he was still an Elite, but now he was already a Champion.
Just one year!
Becoming a Champion-level Trainer in just one year!
His knowledge of Pokémon, his battle strategies, his flexible and varied tactics, his speed in Pokémon breeding, etc., were all-around excellent to the point of being unmatched.
And the most terrifying thing was that, despite being such a rare monster, Giovanni had seen three of them last year!
Yes, three!
Aside from Green and the young man from the same town as him, the remaining one was…
Giovanni turned his gaze to Ryuga, who had just walked in, the smile on his lips seeming to deepen slightly as he nodded to Ryuga.
"Yes, I didn't defeat you last year, and that's one of my regrets, so my first badge this year must be from the Viridian Gym."
Green pulled out a Poké Ball.
He had been waiting here for several days to challenge the Viridian Gym!
Because Giovanni had been out for a while, he had no choice but to wait.
His travel progress had even been surpassed by that annoying Red.
"I'm truly sorry, but my main Pokémon suffered varying degrees of injury during my last outing. If you want to challenge, I can only use my second-string team to battle."
Giovanni pondered for a moment, a hint of helplessness on his mature face, as he slowly spoke to Green.
Of course, he wouldn't use his true main team to face challengers.
Usually, he also used specialized Gym battle Pokémon for fights.
"If it's not the main team, then this Gym battle won't be challenging."
Green frowned slightly.
Although he was proud, he was also a man of principles.
He wanted to defeat Giovanni in his 'peak state.'
Fighting a second-string team?
Who was he looking down on?
"Tch~ Then I'll come back to challenge you tomorrow."
Annoyed, Green put away his Poké Ball, but Giovanni had already said his main team was being treated, so there was nothing he could do.
"If you don't mind, I can have someone substitute for me to battle you. If you win, it can also count as defeating me."
Seeing that Green was indeed preparing to give up the challenge as he had expected, Giovanni's deep eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile.
"Oh? Gym Leader Giovanni, you should know that ordinary Trainers are no match for me, the great one."
Green raised an eyebrow, looking at Giovanni in surprise.
The reason he wanted to battle Giovanni at full strength was because, among the Kanto region Gyms, only Giovanni could somewhat pique his interest.
If he just found some weaklings, Green wouldn't bother wasting his time.
"Heh heh~ You can rest assured, such an excellent Trainer like you deserves to battle only an equally excellent Trainer."
The smile on Giovanni's face deepened, also carrying a hint of deeper meaning.
As he spoke, Giovanni turned his gaze to Ryuga.
A monster can only be countered by a monster!
These were the words Giovanni had said to Matori a while ago, and this was also Giovanni's thought.
Green and the other young man, Red, both of them were true monsters!
But his Team Rocket also had monsters!
"Interesting." Green's eyes showed interest upon hearing this, and he looked towards Ryuga.
Clearly, the person Giovanni was referring to was this one.
Ryuga: "…"
He was enjoying the show so well, and then suddenly trouble found him?
Originally, he had been very much looking forward to the duel between Giovanni and Green.
The three people accompanying Ryuga, Marnie, also froze.
"Uncle Giovanni, isn't that inappropriate?"
Ryuga and Green exchanged glances, then Ryuga looked at Giovanni, amused.
"Green is a true genius, and you, Ryuga, are also a true genius. I think you two will definitely find common ground."
Giovanni replied gracefully.
To outsiders, his image had always been that of a polite, mature, and stable excellent entrepreneur.
"Ryuga, is it? Interested in a battle with me, the great one?"
Green also perked up at this moment, actively challenging Ryuga.
His intuition told him that this young man in front of him was very strong!
It was a sudden feeling, inexplicable yet so natural.
"Tsk tsk~ It's truly like a novel's development. Ryuga, since he's said so, why don't you accept?"
Karen's beautiful face held a smile as she egged Ryuga on.
Someone challenging Ryuga, she was happy to see it happen.
Of course, she didn't think Ryuga would lose, but if someone gave Ryuga trouble, she felt quite comfortable.
After all, someone as disdainful of weaklings as Ryuga, being pestered by an arrogant young Trainer, would surely be very annoyed, right?
"In that case, let's play."
Ryuga shrugged and didn't refuse.
After all, if the opponent was Green, he was quite interested.
"I hope you don't disappoint me. I have a little expectation."
Green looked at Ryuga, who was slowly walking to Giovanni's original position, and showed a rebellious expression, slowly taking out a Poké Ball.
"Of course, I also hope you don't put me to sleep."
Facing Green's provocation, Ryuga chuckled, retorting without hesitation.
Green raised an eyebrow, the Poké Ball in his hand spinning faster and faster.
How interesting, truly too interesting.
Among his peers, aside from that annoying Red, no one had ever given him this feeling of an accelerated heart rate.
This was excitement!
Green's eyes grew brighter as he looked at Ryuga.
He was truly looking forward to it!
Matori pushed up her glasses, took two steps forward, glanced at both sides, and raised a small flag.
"The Viridian Gym battle will now begin! Acting Gym Leader Ryuga versus Green from Pallet Town! The battle rules are 3-on-3!"
"When all three Pokémon of one side are unable to battle, the other side wins!"
"Now, let the battle begin."
With that, Matori retreated outside the battle arena, her eyes fixed on both sides.
Green was a one-in-a-million genius.
Being constantly by Giovanni's side, she naturally knew this, as Green had indeed left a deep impression on her.
And Ryuga was also a super monster.
A duel between two monsters, even she was extremely excited.
"Although it's not strictly Gym rules, since I'm the acting Gym Leader, I'll make the first move."
"This will be it for me."
Ryuga swung the Poké Ball in his hand twice, then threw it back.
"Tyranitar! Prepare for battle!"
"Tyranitar~!"
Accompanied by a low growl, the terrifying green-armored behemoth landed heavily on the battlefield.
Under its immense weight, the entire arena seemed to tremble slightly.
"Tyranitar… Is he serious about this?"
Looking at the fierce and menacing Tyranitar on the field, Karen was startled and looked at Ryuga with some surprise.
Tyranitar was Ryuga's true ace.
"Of course, he's serious. Green is no ordinary Trainer."
Giovanni said with a faint smile, looking at Karen strangely.
He didn't know Karen, but it seemed these three were all familiar with Ryuga.
"Green is a true genius. He only started his journey last year, and now, Green is already a Champion Trainer."
Matori added, as if these people didn't have an accurate understanding of Green.
Karen: "…"
Will: "…"
Marnie: "…"
Karen and Will frowned in surprise, while Marnie was truly speechless and disheartened.
She had just arrived in Kanto, hadn't met many people, and then, one Champion Trainer after another?
Damn it, is Kanto that terrifying?
Are there Champion Trainers everywhere?
