"Is this Viridian City? It's so lively!"
Gary, Rosa, and Hilda, who returned to Viridian City in Kanto from Hoenn, strolled through the streets of Viridian City.
Rosa looked at the bustling crowds on the roadside and the prosperous streets around her and said excitedly, as she is someone who enjoys lively places!
"Although Viridian City is not the most prosperous city in our Kanto region, its vibrancy is quite famous here," Gary, a local in Kanto, smiled and introduced it to Rosa and Hilda.
"Is that so?" Rosa and Hilda nodded, indicating that they understood.
"Then can we explore Viridian City for a while?" This is Rosa's first time in Viridian City, and she still wants to explore it for a while.
"Of course, there's no problem." Since there was nothing urgent at the moment, Gary did not refuse.
"Great." Rosa's face immediately lit up with a smile upon hearing this.
So next, Gary and the two held hands and explored Viridian City together.
They visited various stores and tasted delicious snacks. The whole atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious for a while.
"Hey, isn't this Gary?"
Just when Gary, Rosa, and Hilda were having fun in Viridian City, they suddenly heard an old voice.
Especially after hearing this voice calling out Gary's name, Gary and the two were even more curious.
So Gary and the two turned around with curiosity and saw an old woman holding a bag and looking at them with a smile.
"Who are you?" Hilda looked at the smiling old woman in front of her, feeling a sense of familiarity.
"Ma'am, who are you?" Rosa, who is from the Unova region, still didn't recognize the old lady in front of her.
"Ah," Gary recognized her identity at a glance: "Isn't this Grandma Agatha?"
Yes, the frail old lady in front of them is one of the Elite Four of the Kanto region, the Ghost-type master Agatha.
As the grandson of Professor Oak, Gary has seen Grandma Agatha many times, so they both know each other.
"Long time no see, Gary." Looking at Gary in front of her, Agatha also greeted him with a smile.
Although Agatha didn't like Professor Oak because of some past issues, she had no problem with Gary, the grandson of Professor Oak. Especially since Gary didn't continue on the path of a trainer like his grandfather, Professor Oak, this made Agatha like Gary.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Grandma Agatha." Gary greeted Agatha respectfully after seeing her.
"Gary, this is..."
After hearing the conversation between Gary and Agatha, Hilda had already gotten to know the old lady in front of her.
Even Rosa, who didn't know much about the situation, guessed her identity at this time.
"Grandma Agatha is one of the Elite Four in our Kanto region, the Ghost-type master," Gary briefly introduced Agatha to Rosa and Hilda.
"Grandma Agatha, hello!" After Gary finished the introduction, Rosa and Hilda also greeted her very politely.
"Hello." Looking at the two pretty girls in front of her, Agatha also showed a kind smile on her face.
Then Agatha looked at Gary and said, "Gary, can you introduce these two girls to me?"
"Of course," Gary had planned to do so, and since Agatha had asked, he began to introduce them: "They are Rosa and Hilda from the Unova region, and they are my girlfriends."
"Oh, both of them?" After hearing Gary's introduction, Agatha was surprised.
"Yes." Gary didn't beat around the bush and nodded directly, admitting it.
"You are lucky in love." Agatha was very protective of Gary, a junior and the grandson of an old friend (although the relationship was not good now), so she said with a smile at this time.
"No, no." Although Gary said this, the pride in his words was also very obvious.
"These two children are good kids. Gary, you must treat them well, otherwise, I will not let you go."
Agatha is a person who has experienced many hardships. She could see the character of Rosa and Hilda at a glance, so she also reminded Gary.
"Of course, they are my sweethearts!" Facing Agatha's reminder, Gary nodded very solemnly.
"That's good." Agatha was quite satisfied with Gary's affirmative and unhesitating answer.
After hearing the conversation between Gary and Agatha, Rosa and Hilda on the side also blushed.
"Are you rushing back from the Hoenn region?" After some introductions and acquaintances, Agatha returned the topic to the right track.
"Yes," before Gary could answer, Rosa nodded first, and then asked curiously: "Grandma Agatha, how did you know?"
"Although I am old, I still pay attention to the league conferences, so I also watched the Hoenn League Conference through the broadcast." Agatha answered Rosa's question very kindly.
"That's right." After hearing Agatha's words, Gary and the others understood instantly.
"You three young ones, your performance in the Hoenn League Conference was very impressive!" Agatha looked at the top three of the Hoenn League Conference in front of her, and her eyes revealed an admiring look.
Gary and the other two have Pokémon that have reached the Elite level, especially at such a young age, which, in Agatha's eyes, is a very commendable achievement.
"We still have a long way to go to reach Grandma Agatha's level." Facing Agatha's praise, Hilda also shook her head and said.
It's not that they are modest; they also know their own strength, and they are still far from the Elite Four of the region.
"Don't be modest, when we were your age, our strength was not as good as yours." Hearing Hilda's humble words, Agatha shook her head and denied it.
"You must firmly walk on this path." Agatha continued to advise Gary and the other two, especially focusing on Gary.
"Especially you, Gary, don't follow your grandfather's old path."
"I know, Grandma Agatha." Gary still has some understanding of the things between his grandfather and Agatha, so he nodded.
"By the way, Grandma Agatha, aren't you one of the Elite Four of the Kanto region? How come you are in Viridian City?"
Rosa also remembered something at this time, so she asked Agatha.
