Mr. Auctioneer informed Jenny about what happened at the auction, and Jenny took the initiative to come over to thank Gary.
"You must be Gary, right? I've heard about your deeds in Varidian City. Thank you so much this time, otherwise there might be casualties."
"Miss Jenny, you're too polite. This is what a citizen should do." Gary said politely.
Jenny didn't stay for long, and asked people to take the members of Team Rocket away, leaving some police officers here to guard to prevent any more emergencies.
"Mr. Auctioneer, it's okay, we'll leave first." Gary saw that nothing was wrong and planned to leave. After all, he didn't meet the Pokémon he liked. Not only did he run in vain, but he also encountered the little trouble of Team Rocket.
"Please stay." Mr. Auctioneer stopped the two and said, "You two have helped us so much at the auction, and I haven't thanked you yet."
Gary and Sabrina were stunned. It seemed that the other party was going to give them a gift. How could they refuse it?
Although they really wanted a thank-you gift, they still had to be polite verbally.
"Don't thank us too much. If we don't do it, Team Rocket will do it to us." Gary said.
"No, thank you is a must." Mr. Auctioneer said without hesitation: "You two must have come to the auction for Pokémon. You can tell me what kind of Pokémon you need. It will be a thank you gift."
Gary and Sabrina looked at each other. They didn't expect to get a Pokémon for free at the auction.
"Since it's a Pokémon, I won't hesitate, Mr. Mr. Auctioneer. I want a Pidgey or Pidegeotto with gym potential." Gary said.
"I want Slowpoke, gym potential or above." Sabrina said.
"Ah... Pidgey and Slowpoke...!"
Mr. Auctioneer wondered if he had heard it wrong. He was going to spend a lot of money, but the Pokémon Gary and Sabrina wanted were so ordinary.
"Any questions?" Gary asked. Although the Pokémon that Gary wanted was not available at this auction, it can be seen that the strength of this auction house is not bad. The Pokémon he wanted was not a rare Pokémon, so it should be something that can be presented.
"No problem, it's just that the Pokémon you want is too common. You can increase the rarity. I can find it here." Mr. Auctioneer said.
"Increase the rarity...then Beldum." Sabrina said.
"Miss Sabrina, don't be ridiculous. Beldum is a Pokémon that is prohibited from being sold. Our auction is formal." Mr. Auctioneer said embarrassedly.
I let you increase the rarity a little, but I didn't let you increase it to a quasi-god.
"Then Slowpoke." Sabrina said.
"Okay, that's it. I'll try to find one with higher potential." Mr. Auctioneer said.
"Then Mr. Auctioneer, when can you bring the Pokémon?" Gary asked.
"I'll ask auctions in other places. Leave a phone number first. When I find it, I'll notify you, Mr. Gary." Mr. Auctioneer said. "Okay."
Then the two exchanged phone numbers, and Gary and Sabrina left the auction.
Originally they planned to stay in Vermilion City on Saturday and Sunday, but now that the problem with Pidgeot has been solved, Gary decided to go to the next city, Celadon City.
...!
Early the next morning.
Gary and Sabrina rode their mountain bikes towards Route 6, which is also the road back to Saffron City, but with a fork in the middle.
Gary and Sabrina planned to go to Celadon City from the fork, which is closer, and they will pass through a small town called Lewis Town, which also has a gym.
There are more than 8 gyms recognized by the Alliance in the Kanto Region. In the original plot, when Ash collected 7 badges, Gary collected 10 badges.
Moreover, these 10 badges overlap with the badges collected by Ash for only three badges, and the remaining 7 badges are gyms that have not appeared in the animation.
Gary also plans to collect a few more badges, mainly for the purpose of brushing system tasks, since challenging the Cerulean gym will trigger the tasks issued by the system.
Then other gyms must be OK, it is impossible that the strength of those gym masters is not as good as that of the Cerulean gym.
Moreover, according to the rules set by the Pokémon Alliance, a region can only have a maximum of 18 gyms that can be recognized.
As long as you get 8 of the badges, you can participate in the Alliance Conference held in that region.
However, there are not yet 18 gyms in the Kanto Region. For example, there are two private gyms in the Dark City, competing for the quota of official gyms.
Lewis Town is not too far from Vermilion City. Gary and Sabrina arrived at dusk.
Gary did not rush to challenge the Lewis Gym. The next day, he went to the public training ground to find a few Trainers to inquire about the situation in LewisTown.
From the people in the town, I learned that the owner of the Lewis Gym is Leo, who uses Normal Pokémon and is very strong. At least the Trainers in the town are not Rival of Leo.
"Normal type, it's quite rare."
There are very few Normal type gyms, because Normal type has no advantage in Attribute, so there are relatively few Normal type gyms opened in each region.
However, as long as there is a Normal gym, the gym owner is quite strong, because Normal Pokémon has few shortcomings, so the strength is quite average.
Speaking of Normal Pokémon, Gary doesn't even have a Normal attribute Pokémon.
Gary doesn't have a Fighting Pokémon, so he is destined to have no advantage in this gym battle.
After finding out the basic information of Lewis Gym, Gary took advantage of the afternoon break to go to Lewis Town Gym to see if he can trigger the system release task.
When Gary arrived at Lewis Gym, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! Release task: Get Lewis Gym Badge/Reward: Intermediate Rare CandyX10, Permanent Skill Learning Device Mega Kick, Top-quality Silk Scarf (Normal skill power increased by 50%)X1. ]
"Oh my god, 10 intermediate candies, a skill device with a power of 120!" Gary was shocked.
After challenging the gym several times, Gary also knew that the system rewards were completely determined by the strength of the gym owner. It can be seen that Leo's strength is higher than that of Lt. Surge.
After all, when Gary challenged Sabrina, the reward was also intermediate candy, of course, this is related to Sabrina being a Psychic.
Leo is not a Psychic, his strength is real, and he deserves 10 intermediate candies. The level of Pokémon in Leo's hand should be above level 30.
"Do you need to use props to upgrade it?"
Gary felt that it was not safe and wanted to upgrade Wartortle.
Wartortle is now level 31, and the specific evolution level is only 5 levels away, so only 5 intermediate candies are needed.
It's not that Gary is worried about losing, but after losing, he will have to spend another day here.
