Chapter 6 Insect-type Hunter Gary

---

The most beautiful weather is March.

After leaving the Oak Research Institute, Gary hummed a song and followed the path into the periphery of Viridian Forest.

The sun was shining brightly, the air was fresh, and even Gary's mood became excited.

Entering the forest, Gary directly released the two little ones together.

"Wow!"

"Boy!"

Charmander and Eevee came to Gary's feet, one on the left and the other on the right. Gary touched the heads of the two Pokémon one by one. "Starting today, your training will be put on the schedule."

The two little ones also nodded very sensibly, indicating that they would work hard.

"Very good~" Gary looked at the forest in front of him. This section of Joban Forest between Viridian City and Pewter City is actually very easy to walk.

Just follow the avenue in the forest, and you can walk out in forty minutes.

Of course, if you are lost, just pretend I didn't say anything...

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this forest is rich in Bug-type Pokémon resources.

Caterpie, Weedle, as many as you want.

What are these... These are all experiences...

As the most important leveling point before level 20, Gary will not miss it!

Pokémon's skills are all improved in combat. In Gary's opinion, practicing against a target a hundred times is not as good as hitting the opponent once in actual combat.

Therefore, the effect of actual combat training is definitely the best!

**Ding: Novice mission: Reserve Strength.**

Before challenging the first gym, please raise the team's average level to level 18 and have at least 3 Pokémon.

**Reward: 1 Qualification Star Upgrade Card. Normal Pokémon encounters 1 enemy card. Achievement points: 100.**

"This ordinary Pokémon is stuck when it encounters an enemy..." Gary said doubtfully.

**Ding: Qualification Star Upgrade Card: You can upgrade the qualifications of any Pokémon whose qualifications are lower than the championship level by one level.**

Ordinary Pokémon encounter card: After use, you can specify any Pokémon that encounters non-mythical beasts. The Pokémon you encounter have qualifications ranging from king to quasi-god!

Gary took a breath, this was a bit interesting. In other words, using this card, he could encounter a designated Pokémon with the worst qualifications and the King level.

Isn't this just giving out benefits?

The same goes for the Star Upgrade Card. Although it is said that it can be used by those with qualifications below the champion level, anyone with any brain knows that it must be used on a Pokémon with King-level qualifications.

Only in this way can you maximize your strength.

Just do it, Gary first took out the reward from the previous task.

**Skill Upgrade Card x2**

Use it directly for Charmander's Ember and Scratch attacks.

**Ding: Ember skill upgrade—Fire Blast!**

Scratch attack skill upgrade—Dragon Claw!

Suddenly enlightened, Charmander scratched the back of his head, feeling very strange.

"Okay, preparations are complete. Charmander will be the main force for a while. Eevee, if you encounter a flying bird Pokémon, use Thunderbolt to drive it away." Gary hid in the bushes with the two little ones. He patiently explained.

The two little ones nodded in agreement.

With the fire dragon's flames, Gary is not very afraid even if he encounters a group of Beedrill.

But Gary doesn't want to offend the bullies of Viridian Forest and the Spearow group just yet.

After all, these gangsters are all fighting together from sunrise to sunset...

After instructing the two Pokémon to ambush, Gary took out his mysterious magic weapon, a jar of golden honey!

Sweet honey, good for attracting wild Pokémon.

Gary was not polite. He found a tree and applied a thick layer on it.

He casually dodged and hid in the trees on the side.

"Charmander, use Fire Blast!"

In the forest, a scorching flame surged through, leaving behind the figures of four or five Bug-type Pokémon.

"Huh~huh~" Little Charmander breathed heavily and squatted on the spot to rest.

"Okay, Eevee, use Thunderbolt to clean the honey from the tree first." Instructing Eevee to disperse the sweet honey, Gary took out Pokémon food and gave Charmander a snack.

He opened the Pokédex and scanned it, finding that Charmander's level had gone from level 10 to level 14.

Looking at the Caterpie and Weedle lying around, Gary sighed helplessly.

I am almost a Bug-type Thanos, even though there are plenty of bugs in Viridian Forest.

However, the experience provided by a Caterpie now is really too little.

Moreover, using Fire Blast is not like Ember, and it consumes relatively high mana. Charmander's physical strength basically requires a break after twenty rounds.

"It would be great if a large Bug-type Pokémon came here, like a Scyther~" Gary thought while stroking his chin.

"Whoops!!!" A Pokémon with sharp eyes and an emerald green body appeared in front of Gary.

"Ah, yes, yes, this kind of Scyther~" Gary nodded, then suddenly turned his head, "Scyther!!"

"Wow!" Scyther pointed its scythes at the tree trunk and whined at Gary with great dissatisfaction.

As a lone wolf who broke away from the pack, Scyther upheld the spirit of chivalry and did not steal food from other Pokémon in the forest.

The price of maintaining grace is that after nine meals in three days, Scyther feels that his scythes taste like Oran Berry barbecue...

Finally, I smelled an unusually sweet smell today, and Scyther walked through most of the forest to get here without hesitation.

As a result, as soon as he saw the honey, it was dispersed by Eevee's Thunderbolt.

The eyes of Scyther turned red, my honey! How can I live without you~

Gary looked at the hungry and trembling Scyther in front of him, and took a picture of it for identification without any panic.

**[Scyther (Weak - Lone Ranger)**

**Qualification: King-Champion**

**Characteristics: Technical expert**

**Level: 20**

**Height: 1.5 meters, weight: 49 kg.**

**Skills: Double Team, Wing Attack, Slash, Agility, Focus Energy, Pursuit, Night Slash, Quick Attack. High-speed stars.]

Oops, this is an unexpected surprise. Who would have thought that I would find a treasure in Pallet Town.

Gary showed a confident smile: "Hey, are you hungry or thirsty? It's hard work alone~"

"Huh?" Scyther was startled. This human seems to be pretty good~

Bang, a can of high-end Pokémon food was slapped on the ground by Gary: "Two choices, come with me and I'll give you what you want, or I'll beat you until you're subdued, and then I'll feed you."

Although Scyther was drooling, he still put on a fighting posture: "Hey! [A noble warrior will not give in for a full meal!]"

"Yes, I appreciate you." Gary clapped his hands: "Charmander, come on!"

The Charmander, who had just eaten, patted his belly and walked forward boldly and proudly, also opening his arms and getting into a good posture.

"Be careful, Charmander, this guy is a tough guy." Gary reminded cautiously.

"Wow!" The little fire dragon sprayed out a stream of Fire Blast, and the battle began!
