Ch. 31 - Interesting Headlines

Quickly moving to the PC, excited to check the information of Rhyhorn, I opened the PC.

Ability : Lightningrod (Immune to Electric-Type moves, boosts Sp. Attack if hit by one.)]

"Haha, It seems that even Arceus or Pokemon Professors or whoever is the one in control of this world also knows that it is impossible for me to catch a 31 IV Pokemon on my own."

"I mean, look at it, I got a Magikarp with almost perfect IVs, and now I got Rhyhorn with such IVs."

"Whoever you are, Thank You." I said while looking up.

This Rhyhorn was the perfect Pokemon to use against the Gym Leader of 'Vermilion City' because the Gym Leader of 'Vermilion City' mainly uses Electric-Type Pokemon which are weak to Ground-Type Pokemon like Rhyhorn.

Another advantage Rhyhorn has is his ability <Lightningrod >, which makes him immune to Electric-Type moves, and if hit by one, then it will boost Sp. Attack stat of Rhyhorn.

'Now if I am thinking correctly, if I use Rhyhorn against the Gym Leader of 'Vermilion City', not only will the Pokemon of the Gym Leader be unable to do any damage to Rhyhorn but instead, it will make him strong.'

'Only if everything goes perfectly and the Gym Leader doesn't use any non Electric-Type moves, then theoretically I can have a perfect Gym Run.'

"Only theoretically, In real life things don't go as planned" I said as I switched Abra with Rhyhorn and Oddish with Hoothoot.

"It seems this is where it ends, Little one. I will take you out to the real world or when I am in need of you." taking a final look at the miniature version of Clefairy inside the PC Box, I turned off the PC.

'Now I am done with most of the things in 'Vermilion City', I can now exit the Pokemon World.'

'Tomorrow I should be able to defeat the Gym Leader.'

'Arceus, Just thinking about the puzzle to open that laser door hurts my head.' I groaned while thinking of the hours I had spent on the puzzle when playing the Fire Red game.

'I think I should be able to clear that puzzle much more easily since I know the trick behind it.' I thought as I remembered the trick or rule to be more precise about the puzzle.

'After the Gym Leader, I'll only need to catch some Pokemon and get the 'Item Finder' and I'll be good to go.' I thought as I exited the Pokemon World.

With a sudden shift, I was back in my apartment. Immediately getting out of bed, I picked up my phone to order some food online.

I was so immersed in clearing the S.S. Anne that I forgot to exit the Pokemon World and eat lunch, and because of that as well as from all the running around made me so hungry that I almost felt like I would starve to death.

While I waited for my order to arrive, I couldn't contain my hunger, so I went to the kitchen to look for something to munch on while waiting, but it seemed that I had already run out of Energy Bars and Instant Noodles.

I was like hell waiting for the order. I could have gone to the nearest convenience store to get something to eat, but I was not in the mood to get up and go outside.

Soon the torture ended as the sound of someone knocking on the door entered my ears.

With lightning speed, I opened the door; In front of me stood the delivery man from whom I immediately took my order and closed the door after paying him using an online Cash app.

"Why is the food gone?" I said as I looked at the now-empty food containers which were filled with food just 10 minutes ago.

'I didn't even realize what happened after I closed the door. I practically inhaled the food because for me it is impossible to eat all the food in just 10 minutes.'

Something weird was going on as I was hungry beyond belief when I exited the Pokemon World and now I had eaten so much food so fast that the past me couldn't imagine.

I ignored this as I thought that it might be because of missing lunch and all the running around on S.S. Anne.

After throwing the food containers made of aluminum foil-like substances in the trash, I went for a walk to the nearest convenience store to restock up Instant Noodles and Energy Bars.

45 Minutes later, I was back in my apartment after buying a large amount of Instant Noodles and Energy Bars from the convenience store.

'I still have a lot of money left, most of the amount I received from the 'Pokemon Union' is left unused besides paying the rent, mainly because of the payment I received from my part-time job.'

Remembering the 'Pokemon Union', I decided to open their website to check the public information page.

Looking through the public information page, I didn't find anything interesting besides some strategies about how to defeat the first gym and things like Pokemon types.

Closing the public information page, I opened the form website where I usually find interesting information.

[First Gym Of All Regions]

[Which Starter Pokemon is the Best?]

[All about Starter Pokemons]

[Best way to level up your Pokemon fast]

[Who Is Dipper?]

[Is it possible to cross 'Mt. Moon'?]

Many different headlines appeared in front of me, some of them were obvious click baits but a few caught my eye.

Clicking on the first headline that caught my attention, I looked at its content.

[Which Starter Pokemon is the Best?]

Going through the content of the article, most of which talked about the different typings of Pokemon and how starters from all the regions have the same types.

The article further details how it is possible to have an easy time facing off against the first gym leader of the 'Kanto Region' if you chose the Grass-Type Pokemon as a starter.

After reading the article till mid, I moved on to the next article.

[Best way to level up your Pokemon fast]

This article goes into detail about how you can encounter wild Pokemon in tall grasses, you just have to look for areas with tall grass which is near a Pokemon Center and then you can grind and heal endlessly.

The article also mentioned 'Mt. Moon' whose entrance is close to a Pokemon Center.

Moving on to the next article.

[Who Is Dipper?]

Since this article had my name in its headline, I had to click on it and just as I expected it was a clickbait.

The article goes into detail about how I might be a Young Master from a wealthy family who used his money to hire players in Pokemon World to help me level up my Pokemon. Or I might be some secret agent who used tactics and tricks to quickly make my Pokemon strong and win against Brock.

After closing this article, I opened the last article.

[Is it possible to cross 'Mt. Moon'?]

[Many players from 'Kanto Region' have successfully defeated their first gym leader after watching the mysterious player 'Dipper'. But their happiness was short-lived as after defeating the gym leader, the players had to move to the next city to continue on with their journey]

[But between them and the next city stood an unscalable wall called 'Mt. Moon'. What is 'Mt. Moon' you may ask? 'Mt. Moon' is a cave network which connects the 'Pewter City' where the players are to the next city which is from the sign outside of 'Mt. Moon' is called 'Cerulean City'.]

[So what is the problem? Well, no player has succeeded in crossing 'Mt. Moon' mainly because of the 6-hour time limit as well as the environment inside of the 'Mt. Moon' which is similar to Dark Cave where it is difficult to spot NPC trainers as well as Wild Pokemon before it's too late.]

[Many players have tried but failed and now players are suspecting that it might be impossible to cross 'Mt. Moon' before the 6-hour time limit is removed after the first month is over.]

[The situation is quite similar to how it was when players first discovered 'Viridian Forest' and just like how it was possible to cross 'Viridian Forest', players will surely find a way to cross 'Mt. Moon' within the 6-hour time limit.]
