"Gary, thank you. I had a lot of fun today." Sabrina took the skewers from Gary and thanked him sincerely.
This is the first time Sabrina has been so happy since she was a child. Although it is very close to Vermilion City, Sabrina has never been there. It is also the first time she has seen the sea.
"Just be happy."
Gary is the same. Although he is Professor Oak's grandson, he basically stayed in the town when he was a child. He only stayed in Cianwood City for three years when he was learning martial arts, but he was practicing martial arts during those three years and never had a good time.
"So when do you plan to challenge the gym?" Sabrina asked.
"Tomorrow morning."
Today is only Thursday.
The auctions in Vermilion City are held on weekends. There is nothing to do tomorrow, so let's go to the Vermilion gym.
"Are the Pokémon you have captured not enough?" Sabrina asked.
Sabrina also knew that Gary was going to go to the auction. The auctions here are naturally auctioning some rare Pokémon or high-potential Pokémon.
But Gary has too many Pokémon. Even if he wants to capture new Pokémon, he should at least let the current batch of Pokémon grow up before breeding new Pokémon.
"Not enough. I plan to capture a Pidgeot. I want to see if there is one at the auction." Gary said.
"Pidgeot, can't you just catch it in the wild?"
Sabrina thought Gary needed to capture rare Pokémon, but it was just Pidgeot. There are also Pidgeys in the wild that can evolve into Pidgeot.
"Forget about the ones in the wild." Gary waved his hand.
Gary did think about catching a Pidgeot directly in the wild. After all, the potential of a Pidgeot that grows up in the wild is definitely not bad.
But Pidgeot is a social animal. When Pidegeotto evolves into Pidgeot, it will occupy the forest as the king and protect the surrounding Pidgeys and Pidegeottos.
Once the Pidgeot in this group is captured, the entire group may collapse, because Pidgeot and Fearow are naturally hostile.
After Pidgey evolves into Pidegeotto, it will basically live alone and can be easily killed by Fearow. Although Fearow and Spearow also eat insects, they will also attack Pidgey. Before Pidgeot appeared, Pidgey and Pidegeotto were not the rivals of Fearow and Spearow at all.
Gary knew this very well, so he did not go to the wild to subdue Pidgeot. Moreover, with Gary's current strength, even if he went to the wild, he might not be the rival of wild Pidgeot.
After all, the Pidgeot that can evolve in the wild is basically above level 40, and with Pidegeotto and Pidgey around Pidgeot, it is not certain that he can defeat it.
Sabrina did not ask more questions. After a day of fun, Sabrina thought it was good to try something new. In the past, she only practiced Psychic all day in the gym, but she did not expect that there were so many fun things outside.
...!
The second day.
In the morning.
Gary and Sabrina came to the entrance of Vermilion Gym.
The Vermilion Gym was built in a modern style, with various lightning-shaped decorations on the facade. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was an electric gym.
"Another one."
"Ah~! I hope he's not too badly hurt."
People passing by whispered something when they saw Gary and Sabrina.
As people from Vermilion City, they knew very well what kind of person Lt.Surge was.
His fighting style was rough, and he would defeat any challenger with a rough fighting style, which also caused the challenger's Pokémon to be seriously injured.
The Pokémon Center here was also busier than the Pokémon Center in other cities.
[Ding! Quest released: Get Vermilion Gym Badge/Rewards: Low-level Rare Candy X5, Intermediate Rare Candy X5! Permanent Skill Learning Device Thunderbolt, Top-quality Magnet (Electric Skill Power Increased by 50%). ]
What? How is it given? Rare Candy has two types: low-level and intermediate. Does this mean that Lt. Surge's strength is between low-level and intermediate?
After several quest releases, Gary also figured out that the system quest rewards will be determined according to Rival's strength. Before, only low-level Rare Candy was rewarded, but when he arrived at the Saffron Gym, the reward was intermediate candy.
From this point of view, the next four gyms are not weak, and the rewarded Rare Candy must be above intermediate, and even high-level Rare Candy will appear.
Then this low-level Rare Candy must be used sparingly, because there is no way to get low-level Rare Candy later.
Gary walked to the door, looked around, and did not see the doorbell, so he pushed open the gym door directly.
What came into view was an empty battle field, which was very dark inside. At the end stood several men and women wearing biker costumes.
The people here were dressed fiercely, and ordinary children would be scared when facing this group of people.
The bikers also looked at Gary and Sabrina, not knowing what they were doing here.
"Hello, I'm here to challenge the gym. Is the owner of the gym, Lt. Surge, here?" Gary asked.
Hearing that Gary was here to challenge the gym, the bikers present all showed contempt.
"Gym owner, another victim has come." A male biker turned around and said.
"Humph, there are still people who dare to challenge, let me see who it is." In the shadows, a tall and strong figure stood up. Because it was too dark, the other person's face could not be seen clearly.
When the other person came closer and came under the light, it was clear that the other person was a blond European and American strong man, wearing only a jacket with the zipper open, showing his two well-developed chest muscles and abdominal square muscles.
"So strong."
Although Gary knew what Lt. Surge looked like, he was still frightened by his figure when he saw him for the first time. This figure could only be compared to the wrestling monsters in WWE.
"Welcome to Vermilion City!"
Lt. Surge opened his arms and hugged Sabrina directly.
In an instant, Sabrina's eyes shone with blue light, and a force of impact sent Lt. Surge flying out.
"Gym owner, are you okay?"
"What are you doing?"
When the bikers saw Lt. Surge being suddenly knocked out, they all questioned Sabrina's meaning and why she attacked Lt. Surge.
"I don't like strangers touching me." Sabrina warned coldly, her eyes emitting blue light, and a heavy pressure fell on the shoulders of the bikers, instantly unable to move.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless, please stop." Lt. Surge also saw that Sabrina was a Psychic, and immediately apologized.
After hearing Lt. Surge's apology, Sabrina lifted the Confusion suppression.
The bikers also realized that the black-haired girl in front of them was not a normal person, so they immediately put away their Power Trip demeanor and stayed aside obediently.
Lt. Surge looked at Sabrina and asked seriously, "Who are you?"
"My name is Gary, from Pallet Town, and I'm here to challenge the gym."
" Sabrina."
Gary and Sabrina both responded.
