After a call with Professor Oak, Gary reported his progress in arriving at Viridian City.
Professor Oak finally found an opportunity to lecture Gary.
It was said that Leaf and Leaf had already arrived in Viridian City at noon, and since the Viridian Gym was closed, the two had already headed towards Pewter City.
Not only that, relying on their excellent starter Pokemon, they seemed to have caught four or five Pokemon each.
"They probably just caught whatever they ran into, right?" Gary spread his hands.
"Uh… indeed, they're all Caterpie, Weedle, Oddish, Pidgey…" Professor Oak's voice caught in his throat.
"Exactly, I'm on the Superior route, so I have no interest in catching Pokemon indiscriminately," Gary continued to reply.
"Alright, your Scyther is indeed in a league of its own." Professor Oak had to admit that his grandson was as fierce as he was in his youth… "Oh, right! Since you're in Viridian City, why don't you visit Professor Cerise's Research Institute?" Professor Oak suggested.
"Professor Cerise's Research Institute? It seems that director hasn't even gotten his doctorate yet, right?" Gary tilted his head in thought.
"It's said that he recently observed a mysterious large silver Pokemon. Are you interested?" Professor Oak raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm~?!" Gary was surprised: "Could it be the legendary Lugia?"
"As expected of my grandson, his knowledge base is just so broad!" Professor Oak said proudly.
"Alright, you succeeded. I'll go there," Gary nodded.
"Hehe, then it's settled. I'll notify Professor Cerise's Research Institute." Professor Oak nodded: "Take care of yourself out there, bye-bye!"
Professor Oak hung up the phone decisively. Gary rolled his eyes, so eager, it must be because your noodles got soggy, right~
However, the news of Lugia, this thing was indeed worth Gary making a trip.
Just then, the counter called Gary. His Pokemon had finished recovering their stamina.
Retrieving his poké balls, Gary decided to head to Professor Cerise's Research Institute to investigate before it got completely dark.
Boom! A roaring motorcycle drifted directly into the entrance of the Pokémon Center.
Joy's annoyed voice rang out: "This is a medical facility, reckless driving is prohibited!!"
"Oh, don't worry about that first, this child, his Pikachu is seriously injured." Jenny jumped off the motorcycle, revealing a muddy Ash and Pikachu behind her.
"I'm sorry, please save it!" Ash rushed forward anxiously.
Joy frowned and delivered a loving slap.
Slap! A slap stunned Ash.
Joy was a little angry: "Since you've become a Pokemon Trainer, please be responsible for your Pokemon.
How can you let your Pokemon get so injured? Do you really think Pokemon can't die?"
"This child was attacked by a wild flock of Spearow, he tried very hard to protect his Pokemon," Jenny explained.
Ash bowed his head in self-reproach, saying nothing.
"I understand, we'll start emergency treatment immediately, you two wait outside." Picking up Pikachu and handing it to Chansey, Joy also sighed.
Watching Pikachu being taken into the emergency room, Ash looked at the emergency room door, somewhat at a loss.
"Don't worry, this is a Pokémon Center. As long as a Pokemon has a breath left, Joy will save them," a familiar voice sounded in Ash's ear.
"Gary!" Ash turned around in surprise.
"Hey~ what's with that expression, you're not going to cry, are you…"
Gary pouted in disdain: "I'm telling you, if you dare to cry on me, I'll just throw up all over you…"
"Hmph, you're not cute at all!" Ash pouted awkwardly, the tense atmosphere in his heart easing slightly.
"Relax, just wait here. I still have something to do, so I'll be heading off. Remember to call my grandpa and report your travel progress." Patting Ash, Gary turned and left.
"What do you mean, I'll catch up very soon!!" Ash shouted at Gary's retreating back, unconvinced.
The latter waved his hand and left stylishly without looking back…
At Professor Cerise's Research Institute, Professor Cerise, who was not yet a doctor, was preparing to have dinner with his happy family of four.
Although he hadn't yet obtained his doctorate, Professor Cerise's family life was quite happy.
Both a son and a daughter, this was a privilege only for a strong man with a double-door, and Professor Cerise, putting aside other things, no one didn't envy him in this regard!
However, the peaceful night was broken by a sudden attack!
Boom!! A blast, and the Cerise couple watched in surprise as their house's door was blown open.
A man wearing a black baseball cap entered with several others in similar black combat uniforms.
"Who are you?!" Cerise shielded his children behind him and asked with some gravity.
"You are the director of Professor Cerise's Research Institute, right?" The leading man got straight to the point: "We are Team Rockets, and we are very interested in the Pokemon you observed before. Hand over the data."
"What?!" Cerise was shocked. He knew about the dark forces in the Kanto Region, but he didn't expect them to come knocking so soon.
"Dad, are these people bad guys?" Cerise's eldest daughter, Chloe, asked fearfully.
"Don't worry, you and Parker stay with your mother, and be careful." After comforting his children, Professor Cerise turned his head: "I don't have the data you want here."
"Hmph, quite spirited, aren't you." The leading Team Rockets squad leader spat disdainfully.
"Husband, what should we do!" Cerise's wife, Ms. Talia, shielded their children and retreated towards the small back door.
"Don't worry, Jenny will surely arrive soon," Cerise said calmly.
No matter what, his was a registered Research Institute, and after being violently destroyed, an alarm would directly sound at the police station.
Therefore, Cerise deliberately stalled for time.
"Hahahaha Do you really think the police will have time to save you?" The squad leader sneered: "If, at this time, the Pokémon Center is also attacked will Jenny still have time to come here?"
"What?!" Cerise shouted in surprise. He didn't expect anyone to be so foolish as to attack a Pokémon Center.
One must know, attacking a Pokémon Center, what's the difference between that and slapping the Alliance in the face?
"Hmph! Move out!" The squad leader finally finished showing off and waved his right hand.
Three minions behind him walked towards Chloe and the other two with sinister smiles.
"Scyther, False Swipe!" Just as Chloe closed her eyes in fear, a clear, cold voice rang out.
"Argh!!" Three screams! The Team Rockets minions fell to the ground, unmoving.
"Weezing!" The squad leader quickly threw a poké ball, and a huge spherical Pokemon blocked the attack for him.
"Who! Who dares to interfere with Team Rockets' business!" The squad leader shouted sternly.
"Whoosh~!" Scyther took a stance, looking at the opponent.
"I was about to ask you, who gave you the guts to attack researchers in the city?" Gary walked out of the darkness, with Eevee perched on his shoulder.
Four people, it should be the smallest Team Rockets squad. Gary predicted they wouldn't have Pokemon above level 25, so he decisively made his move and took down the opponents first.
"Husband, that child is?!" Yoshino said in surprise.
"Ah, that's right, Professor Oak's grandson, the youngest scholar, Gary!" Cerise nodded.
"Eh~ isn't that person the same age as me?" Chloe looked curiously in Gary's direction.
"So cool!" Chloe's younger brother, Parker, couldn't help but praise.
"So~ shall we continue?" Gary looked at the opponent coldly.
Click! Scyther's scythes gleamed, its hunting eyes fixed on Weezing.
"Hmph, Weezing, use Smokescreen!" The opponent waved his hand, Weezing released a cloud of smoke, then retreated with his defeated subordinates.
Seeing the opponent retreat, Gary breathed a sigh of relief. He had gambled correctly.
The opponent must have accidentally gotten news of the legendary Pokemon Lugia, which is why they took such a risk, coming to extort, hoping to make a big score.
If Team Rockets headquarters had sent people, for intelligence of this value, the people who came would probably not be someone Gary could deal with now.
"Thank you very much for your help, you are Professor Oak's grandson, Gary, right?" Cerise stepped forward.
"Ah, my grandpa said there's some information he needs me to verify." Gary nodded: "If the observation results are real and valid, then I think your doctorate should be awarded early."
"In that case, please follow me." Cerise wasn't pretentious and immediately invited Gary into the undamaged room of the Research Institute.
Opening the computer and unlocking a top-secret file, a video appeared before Gary's eyes.
In the sea off the Viridian City suburbs, a huge silver phantom flashed across the land monitor.
After slowing it down twelve times, Gary nodded in confirmation: "It can be confirmed, it is the legendary Pokemon, Lugia! This discovery is incredibly important.
Your hypothesis, the ocean current circulation between Kanto and Johto, can be established!"
"Excellent!" Cerise couldn't hide his excitement. As long as this project was established, Cerise could officially obtain his doctorate!!
"Given this Team Rockets incident, I think it would be better for you to move to another city with your family, what do you think?" Gary suggested.
After all, it was the sea god Lugia. If Team Rockets lost their minds and came back, this family of four wouldn't be enough for Team Rockets to harm.
"I was just thinking the same thing. A new Research Institute has been prepared in Vermilion City, which is also my hometown, and security issues are not a concern. We are preparing to move back to Vermilion City," Mr. Cerise said seriously.
"Since you've already decided, I won't say more. I still have to continue my Trainer's journey, so I won't bother you further." Gary nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, it's so late, Gary, why don't you stay with us for the night?" Ms. Talia, Cerise's wife, warmly invited him.
"No need, I want to head to Pewter City early, so I won't trouble you, thank you for your kindness." Gary shook his head and walked out of the Cerise home.
Watching Gary's retreating back, Parker looked at his sister: "Sister, if you don't chase him now, he'll be far away~"
Chloe's face flushed, and as if making a decision, she chased in Gary's direction.
"Chloe?!" Cerise was stunned, Yoshino held her husband's hand, smiled, and shook her head: "It's alright, our daughter has grown up~"
Cerise put his hands on his hips and sighed: "Ah how did she grow up in an instant"
