The battle between Red and Blue started.
"Poli use Water Gun!"
Poliwag sends a powerful water attack towards Pidgey.
"Fly and get away from there!"
Pidgey takes flight and the water gun misses.
"Use gust!"
Pidgey generates a small tornado that damages Poliwag and sends him flying.
"Now, quick attack!"
Pidgey rushes towards Poliwag to attack him.
"Batter up Poli! Use pound!"
Poliwag's tail starts to glow and slams Pidgey to the ground. Pidgey falls to the ground and lift itself up but is tired.
"Finish him with a water gun."
"Pidgey! Blind him with sand attack."
Pidgey throws some sand to Poliwags's eyes and he misses the water gun.
"Tackle now!"
Pidgey tackles Poliwag and pushes him back, Poliwag falls back.
"Come on Poli! Get up!" Red tries to motivate Poliwag to move.
"My brother has won." Gary proudly spoke.
"Wrong." Kaori comments.
"But Kaori, isn't Poli is not standing again, doesn't that mean that he has lost?" Ash asked confused.
"Look closely."
As Kaori said those words, Poliwag started to glow. He became bigger, grew some arms and lost its tail.
Poliwag just evolved into Poliwhirl, he now has the power boost necessary to defeat Pidgey.
"All right Poli! Let's do this!"
"Poli!"
Poliwhirl shoots an ice beam from his hand.
"Wow! So cool!" Ash commented.
'It is weird that he learned such a powerful move this early on, how curious.' Kaori.
"Pidgey quick, dodge!" Blue ordered.
Unfortunately for him, Pidgey couldn't react in time due to being tired and received the ice beam. The beam froze Pidgey and he got engulfed by the ice with spirals in his eyes.
"Pidgey can no longer continue, Poliwhirl is the winner, which means that Red won the battle."
"Yeah! We did it Poli!" Red celebrated with his newly evolved Pokémon.
"Tch! You were just lucky." Blue.
"Maybe he was, but in battles, luck is also a major factor that can give you the victory." Kaori comments.
An alarm activates in Kaori's phone and he takes it out. It seemed that Chimchar was about to hatch. Kaori looks at the quartet and asks them.
"Would you guys like to see a Pokémon hatch?"
The kids have sparks in their eye. The group went to a certain part of the lab, inside the incubator, the egg was emitting a red glowing. Kaori takes the egg outside the incubator and puts it in the table with a sheet underneath.
"This is amazing." Gary.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a Pokémon hatch." Ash.
"Now remember, the moment the egg hatches, we have to give the Pokémon some space to not scare it, got it?" Kaori.
"Got it!" Everyone else.
The glow gets brighter and a Pokémon is seen popping out of the egg. Chimchar hatched and everyone inside the room got excited.
"What Pokémon is that. I have never seen one in grandpa's books." Gary.
"That is a Chimchar, a fire-type from the Sinnoh region, I'll talk more about it some other time." Kaori.

'System, is this real?'
[Loading answer given by Lord Wexof: "Hey there newbie, what's the point on having a God as your sponsor, if he cannot give you some OP gifts, don't worry, I won't meddle anymore, or will I?" End of the message.]
'Well, Chimchar can only learn Fake Out and Blaze Kick as egg moves, so thanks.'
Chimchar starts waking up and analyzes his surroundings, he locks eyes with Kaori and lunges at him in an affectionate manner.
"Whoa! Easy there fella, you are a newborn remember." Kaori warns Chimchar, but he clings to him with lovingly.
'System, why is Chimchar acting like this?'
[Answer: To ensure that the host would get his starter, Lord Wexof decided to make him feel some sort of connection to you, sort of like a brother. This effect of course will only last for about a week, so take care of him if you don't want his trust to drop.]
"It seems that it really likes you." Blue.
"Well, I was the one to find it and take care of it, so maybe that's why."
"Why would that matter?" Gary.
"It has been hypothesized that Pokémons can retain some memories about what they have experienced as an egg. An example about this is when a Jigglypuff started to sing in front of an egg and when an Azurill hatched from said egg, it already knew Sing." Kaori.
"How about a battle!" Red.
"Red, he is just a newborn, you'll have to wait for a few weeks before he can battle." Kaori.
"Besides, being a fire-type means that Poli would easily win. You just want an easy win Red." Blue.
"You are wrong Blue."
"Huh?" The group is confused by its statement.
"In a real Pokémon battle, typing is not everything, its how the trainer commands its partner and overcome the situations. I will prove to you 4, in about 3 weeks I will battle Poli with Chimchar, how about that?" Kaori.
"Deal! Come on Poli, we have to prepare for the battle." Red spoke and then left the lab.
"Wait for me Red! I also want to play!" Ash followed behind him.
"What you are doing is nonsensical." Blue also leaves.
"I'll see you in 3 weeks Kaori." Gary leaves.
After everyone leaves, Kaori is left with Chimchar.
"So, Nice to meet you Chimchar."
"Chimchar!"
The weeks passed, Professor Oak came back from Cinnabar Island and started to study Chimchar. The little fella was quite well-behaved during his tests, after the first week Chimchar started to practice some of his moves.
Something Kaori realized was that in this world, there is no 4 moves limit, its just that as long as they remember the move, they can use it. Kaori started to do some training as well to keep his body in shape.
In his previous life he couldn't use his body as he wanted so he is making the most of it this time. Kaori also realized that at difference from the games he could do all sorts of creative attacks, like covering his hands with fire before using Fake Out, or doing a backflip Blaze Kick.
It was the date and it was time for Kaori's first trainer battle, his opponent is none other than the all-powerful Red (In his younger days.).
