Outside Pallet Town.
Looking at the muddy path in front of him, Gary stretched his body, released Deino, and squatted beside it, touching its little head. He pointed to the distance, "Deino, walk on this muddy path, and our adventure will begin. Let's work hard together. Let's go, the target is Viridian City!"
After tidying up his clothes, Gary didn't waste too much time here and walked towards Viridian City. After walking in the forest for a while, Gary looked left and right, as if looking for something.
"It stands to reason that there are many Pokémon in the forest, but why haven't I met any after walking for so long?"
After walking for a while, Gary was a little confused because he didn't meet any Pokémon.
"I don't believe this. I'll just sit and wait. Am I afraid that I won't meet any Pokémon?"
After searching for a long time without any results, Gary was a little tired, so he simply put some food from his backpack under a tree and squatted behind another tree, waiting.
"Squeak, squeak..."
Gary didn't know how long he waited. Just when he was about to fall asleep, a sound came from under the tree where he put the food. This sudden sound scared Gary, and he lost all his sleepiness. However, Gary understood that most of the Pokémon in the nearby forest were ordinary ones with unremarkable abilities. He poked his head out from behind the tree and looked under the tree where the food was placed.
A Rattata was eating his food happily.
"Rattata? As I expected, there are still some Pokémon in this forest, but they are basically not very powerful. However, it is enough for Deino to practice." Hiding behind a tree, Gary held his breath and stared at the Rattata. "This little guy is quite alert, but you always have to relax sometimes. I have been waiting for so long, and I don't need to wait much longer. If it weren't for the fact that the little Rattata is very fast, I would have taken action directly. It's really troublesome."
Looking at the happy little Rattata, Gary originally wanted to make a quick decision, but this little guy was too alert, and the Rattata was very fast. If Gary attacked rashly, it would probably be more trouble than gain. However, the time of waiting for the right moment had paid off, and Gary didn't need to wait much longer. He must seize the opportunity and strive to strike with one blow.
"The opportunity has come, Deino, use Tackle!"
Crouching behind the tree, Gary dared not move, and his legs were almost numb from squatting. But hard work paid off, and the little Rattata finally relaxed gradually.
When the little Rattata relaxed, Gary's eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his hand to his waist, took the Poké Ball in his hand, and released Deino to let it attack directly. After all, this opportunity should not be missed. Deino jumped out of the Poké Ball and landed steadily not far from the little Rattata. Its body sank slightly, and it rushed towards the little Rattata in one step.
The little Rattata felt the danger approaching and turned around to run, but its relaxed state made its movements slower than Deino. It was hit hard by Deino and fainted on the spot, losing its ability to fight.
"Although I know that the little Rattata is not capable, this is too fragile. Deino, you did a good job. Come back."
Walking out from behind the tree, Gary was a little surprised to see Rattata, which had lost its ability to fight. He didn't expect Rattata to be so weak. Helplessly, Gary took Deino back into the Poké Ball.
"Ding."
"Deino defeated Level 1 Rattata and gained 10 experience points."
"The Pokémon Panel is open, and the Pokémon Detection function is open."
After Gary took Deino back into the Poké Ball, the system's exclusive prompt sound rang in his mind without any warning.
"Huh?" Gary was stunned when he heard the system's prompt sound, and then asked, "System, I can understand gaining experience, but what are this Pokémon Panel and Pokémon Detection function?"
"The Pokémon Panel is a panel that records the attributes of the Pokémon owned by the host."
"The Pokémon Detection function is a panel that can detect the attributes of the Pokémon that the host encounters in the wild."
As soon as Gary finished speaking, the voice of the system sounded again in his mind.
"I see. Then open these two panels for me, I need to see."
After understanding the functions of these two panels, Gary was full of curiosity about them and wanted to see what they looked like. Unfortunately, the system could only open the Pokémon panel for him, and as for the Pokémon detection function, it could only be opened when he encounters wild Pokémon.
However, Gary didn't care much. With this thing, he probably wouldn't need the Pokédex.
Then, Gary directly asked the system to open the Pokémon panel belonging to Deino.
''Pokémon: Deino''
''Classification: Irate Pokémon''
''Type: Dark, Dragon''
''Level: 1 [10/50]''
''Next stage: Zweilous [Evolves at Level 50]''
''HP: 300''
''Physical Attack: 60''
''Special Attack: 40''
''Special Defense: 50''
''Defense: 50''
''Speed: 65''
''Ability: Hustle [Increases physical attack, reduces accuracy]''
''Move: Tackle''
After reading the description of Deino in the Pokémon panel and the introduction of various attributes, Gary smiled: "It seems that I did not make a wrong choice. The attributes of Deino look very good among the initial Pokémon."
However, of all the things on this panel, what attracted Gary the most was the level of Deino and the experience bar behind the level. After all, when Deino's level increases, its strength will also be improved, which is extremely important to Gary.
Because of this, Gary continued to wait for the next encounter, wanting to upgrade Deino to level 2 here and see what changes will happen to Deino's panel after the level is upgraded.
"My dear, please don't do this. I just want to upgrade Deino's level. Is it so difficult?"
After waiting for a long time, seeing that no Pokémon were attracted by the food, Gary smiled helplessly, "It seems that because of Rattata's fate, the Pokémon around have become wary. I'd better move forward. I can't always wait for the opportunity like this."
After that, Gary packed his backpack and left the area.
After walking for a while, Gary heard the sound of flowing water. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he muttered, "It seems that there should be a stream nearby. If there is a stream, there should be Water-type Pokémon. It would be great if I could meet Magikarp, Horsea, etc. After all, they are all Pokémon that can eventually evolve into Dragon-type Pokémon. For me, they are undoubtedly the most suitable Pokémon."
"But Horsea should be by the sea, right?" Gary kept muttering as he walked deeper into the forest.
