Chapter 60 This world is truly interesting~ The next morning, Bai Yu and Sabrina also left the resort island by boat.
This trip to the resort island wasn't a loss, as Bai Yu had seen the legendary Pokémon of this world. His only regret was not having a direct confrontation with Zapdos. Bai Yu was very curious about the legendary Pokémon of this world, especially the one Team Rocket had researched, which ranked highly in his mind.
Being in the Kanto Region, he knew it wouldn't be long before Team Rocket researched that Pokémon—a man-made god. Looking at the entire generation, only Team Rocket had taken such a crazy step.
After all, Team Rocket's ideals weren't so grand; it wasn't about purifying, integrating, or reshaping the world. From beginning to end, Team Rocket practiced one ideal: ruling the entire Pokémon world.
This alone was enough to surpass the other villainous leaders who appeared later.
"What? Still thinking about that Zapdos from the resort island?"
Sabrina followed beside Bai Yu, seeing his worried expression the whole way.
She thought Bai Yu was still troubled by not having fought it.
In Sabrina's opinion, that Zapdos wasn't particularly strong. With a prolonged battle to wear it down, once the surrounding lightning field dissipated, Zapdos would be reduced to less than a tenth of its
former power. Sabrina believed Bai Yu could do it, but he wasn't ready yet.
She wondered how Bai Yu had trained Electabuzz.
In just one week, it evolved into Electabuzz, and a day later, into Electivire, its aura no less impressive than those Pokémon he'd trained for years.
To train such excellent Pokémon in such a short time...
Sabrina even suspected Bai Yu possessed the power of Viridian. It was rumored that only the power of Viridian could achieve such a feat. If Bai Yu truly possessed the power of Viridian, then... how did he explain Magnemite?
Sabrina still vividly remembered the scene of Magnemite being thoroughly humiliated by Abra.
"No, I just find this world particularly interesting," Bai Yu chuckled.
"I've already asked you to travel with me, but you insist on staying cooped up in the gym," Sabrina said with a hint of helplessness. "This world is vast, and I don't want you to remain a gym leader forever."
Sabrina wasn't wrong; even Kanto Region seemed small compared to the rest of the world, let alone Bai Yu, who was still in a gym within the Kanto Region.
Unfortunately…
not now!
Bai Yu didn't yet have a single Pokémon he could rely on.
In traditional battles, tactics could allow a Pokémon to unleash 120% of its power, and if used properly, even 170%.
Unfortunately, with a base of 1, even a 200% increase only doubles the power. Against Pokémon with a base of 10 or even 100, any tactic would seem monotonous.
At least… he needed to get a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, a pseudo-legendary that could Mega Evolve. There were many powerful trainers in this world, and many more still developing their skills.
The Kanto Region is considered one of the top regions, largely due to the presence of Red and others. Even trainers from the Johto Region are essentially part of this region.
Besides Red and Shigeru, there's also Yellow, who naturally possesses the power of Viridian, Oak Azure, who stole a starter Pokémon from Professor Oak, and Giovanni's son Silver, among others. These guys all have outstanding potential, but without them, the competitions would be less interesting; one person's growth is ultimately too monotonous.
"With my current strength, staying in Marsh City is the best choice,"
Bai Yu thought, turning to Sabrina and softly sharing his thoughts.
Sabrina listened, pondering the future she had previously foreseen.
The Zapdos that appeared on the resort island didn't appear in her future.
However, her future memories did mention Lt. Surge catching Zapdos at the abandoned power plant.
In reality, the Zapdos escaped and wasn't caught by any trainer.
Even Agatha showed no sign of making a move, and she didn't release her Pokémon until Zapdos disappeared. "Saria, do you have any Razor Helmets in Saffron City?"
In the game, Bai Yu had searched countless shops but couldn't find a single Razor Helmet.
None of Bai Yu's Pokémon had a complete held item; even his previous only held item, Electabuzz, had evolved into Electivire.
He had searched every shop he could find in the entire game, but he hadn't even seen the most common item, Rockhard, which every Geodude carries.
"Razor Helmets? You mean held items?" Sabrina looked confused; she had never heard of 'Razor Helmets' before.
Judging from Bai Yu's expression, Sabrina knew it was a held item.
However, even in the bustling Saffron City, held items were extremely rare, and she had never heard of the one Bai Yu mentioned.
"If you don't have it, Magnet and Charcoal will do." Bai Yu suddenly remembered something; Razor Helmets only appeared in the Unova Region, during the Black and White phase.
How could they possibly be found in the Kanto Region?
"I had my apprentice bring them over; those items are fairly common." Sabrina had seen Bai Yu's lineup before, and equipping him with items to improve his strength was a normal choice.
"Bai Yu, what else do you need? A Pokémon, or…" Sabrina said casually.
Bai Yu suddenly felt like he was being kept, but it was also because Sabrina's family had a high status in Goldenrod City; they were a family of psychic powers, and their resources were beyond imagination. "Ahem, am I that kind of person?"
"As long as it's not a legendary Pokémon, I can basically get it."
"Then forget I said anything."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu glanced at Sabrina again. He knew Sabrina's family was wealthy, but he didn't expect her to be this rich.
Well, it makes sense; she could enter the entertainment industry in the future and achieve something comparable to the Queen of Kalos.
If her family didn't have some money, Sabrina's looks alone might not be enough.
"You're so cheeky~ Tell me, which Pokémon do you want? If you want Pokémon from other regions, that's fine too, but it will take time."
Sabrina could get Pokémon from Kanto Region and Johto Region by contacting the League, but as for Pokémon from other regions, Sabrina would need to spend more time and effort.
"Those two items are enough."
"By the way, see if they have any 'Bump Helmets'."
"As for Pokémon, I'll figure that out myself later."
Bai Yu slowly shook his head. Once he clears the Hoenn Region, Bai Yu can go to the next region to find the Pokémon he wants: Toxapex, Ice-type Ninetales, and those legendary island Pokémon.
That place also has the Dragon-type's nemesis Pokémon. Once Bai Yu catches those Pokémon, Lance—he dares to try using Dragon-type moves? He'll smash his head in.
The Rain Team is mostly complete, only missing a rain setter.
For the Sandstorm Team, besides Aggron, he hasn't caught any others. For
the Sun Team, only Houndoom is usable; even the Stealth Setter Ferrothorn can't be used.
As for other counter-teams, Bai Yu doesn't have a single one.
The only champion he can counter is Steven from the Hoenn Region.
