Chapter 20: Unexpected Person

---

Under the guidance of Professor Birch's assistant, Gary also came to Professor Birch's current location.

After finding Professor Birch, he discovered that Birch was chatting with a girl with fair skin and beautiful features.

The girl was wearing a blue and white short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, and a thin layer of black pantyhose wrapped around her slender and beautiful thighs in the lower body, matched with a yellow miniskirt, making her look more youthful.

Her bun hairstyle, coupled with the brown double ponytails, plus her striking figure, made it hard for people to look away, and Gary was obviously one of them.

As a Pokémon enthusiast in his previous life, Gary also recognized the identity of the girl in front of him at a glance. She was one of the characters in the very popular Pokémon game, Pokémon Black and White.

When the character Rosa appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of many Pokémon fans, and Gary in his previous life was no exception.

It can be said that Rosa is one of Gary's favorite female characters.

However, what Gary felt sorry for was that Rosa did not appear in the anime TV series in the Unova region later, but only appeared in the promotional video and game of Pokémon Black and White.

So when Gary saw Rosa, his eyes were full of surprise. You know, the world where he was reborn should be the world of the anime TV series, and Rosa should not exist.

However, this only made Gary entangled for a while. After all, even his rebirth happened, and it is not surprising that Rosa appears now.

The assistant also came to Professor Birch at this time and said to the professor, "Professor, Gary you mentioned is here."

After hearing the assistant's words, Professor Birch immediately stopped chatting with Rosa and looked at Gary who had just walked into the room.

The moment he saw Gary, Professor Birch also had a smile on his face.

"Gary, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

After seeing Gary, Professor Birch stopped talking to Rosa and came to Gary, smiling and saying, "I estimated the time and knew that you would come to me today. It seems that I guessed right."

"I am sorry to bother you. I hope you don't mind," Gary replied politely, a little surprised by Professor Birch's enthusiasm.

"It's nothing. I am very happy that you can come," Birch waved his hand gently and didn't care.

Gary was not an exception to Professor Birch's enthusiasm. After all, he also knew Professor Birch. Hospitality was Birch's character.

"Professor, who is this?" Rosa, who was standing aside, was very curious when she saw Professor Birch's enthusiasm. So after looking at Gary, she asked Professor Birch.

"You are talking about Gary," In response to Rosa's question, Professor Birch immediately introduced Gary to her.

"This handsome boy is named Gary. He is from Pallet Town in Kanto. Like you, he is here to challenge the Hoenn League Conference."

After introducing Gary to Rosa, Professor Birch also introduced Rosa in reverse.

"As for this beautiful girl, she is Rosa from Nimbasa City in the Unova region. She is also here to challenge the Hoenn League in the Hoenn region."

"Don't underestimate Rosa. She is the champion of the Unova Nimbasa Conference."

After Professor Birch introduced Rosa's record, Gary was also surprised. He didn't expect Rosa to be so strong.

"It's not bad," Rosa felt a little embarrassed after being introduced by Professor Birch.

"Hello, Gary, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me," Rosa greeted Gary generously.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Rosa," Gary smiled at Rosa.

In this way, Gary and Rosa got to know each other under the introduction of Professor Birch.

"By the way, this is the Pokémon illustrated book you need," Just after Gary and Rosa got to know each other, Professor Birch took out two Pokémon illustrated books, handed them to Gary and Rosa, and said, "Just consider it my gift to you."

After Gary and Rosa looked at each other, they took it together and thanked at the same time: "Thank you, Professor."

"Don't be so polite," Professor Birch waved his hand at the two people's thanks, not caring.

After obtaining the new Pokémon illustrated book, Gary's purpose of coming to Professor Birch's research institute was completed.

However, since Gary arrived at the institute in the afternoon, and considering the time spent in the institute, it was already dusk.

So Gary and Rosa rested in the institute for one night at the invitation of Professor Birch, and set off the next day.

The next morning, because they still had to continue to challenge the Hoenn League, Gary and Rosa did not stay any longer, but said goodbye to Professor Birch and set off for the Hoenn region.

After Gary and Rosa left Professor Birch's institute, they walked on the road in silence.

After all, they had just met for a short time and had few topics to talk about, so the atmosphere was tense for a while.

However, after a period of embarrassment, Gary took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"If I remember correctly, Rosa, you are going to challenge the League Conference of Hoenn."

"That's right. I am going to win the championship of the League Conference of Hoenn," Rosa said, waving her white fists, and said with full momentum.

"That's not an easy thing," Gary said.

After hearing Gary's words, Rosa was also stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand what Gary meant.

"I am determined to win the championship of the Ever Grande Conference," Gary explained with a light smile.

After hearing what Gary said, Rosa understood it instantly, and then stopped and looked at Gary and said, "Then we will be rivals in the future!"

"That's right," Gary nodded, and then looked at Rosa's pretty face, and the words suddenly changed: "But before the Ever Grande Conference, Rosa, do you want to understand the situation of your opponent first?"

After hearing Gary's words, Rosa was a little puzzled: "Gary, what do you mean?"

"Do you want to travel with me in the Hoenn region? This is the best opportunity for you to understand me as your rival," Gary smiled and invited Rosa.

That's right, Gary was attracted by Rosa's beauty and wanted to travel with her.

"Hey! Travel together?" After hearing Gary's words, Rosa didn't know what Gary meant, and was deeply surprised by Gary's sudden invitation.

Then Rosa looked at Gary's handsome face, her face suddenly turned red, and she said a little embarrassedly: "This... of course... is possible."

Although she was a little embarrassed, Rosa finally agreed.

"Then Rosa, please take care of me in the future," Gary said, stretching out his right hand to Rosa.

"Of course you can," Although Rosa was a little shy, she also stretched out her hand and gently held Gary's hand, but after a light touch, she quickly let go.

But Gary didn't care, after all, they had just met not long ago, and there was still plenty of time.

"Then, let's continue to set off next!"

"The goal is the Hoenn League!"

"Okay!"

After confirming that they would go together, Gary and Rosa embarked on a journey to the Hoenn region together.
