*Vermilion city*
Adam and Noah looked at the gym infront them and prepared themselves for the upcoming battle.
"Lt.Surge uses electric type pokemon so you should use your nidoking." Noah advised Adam as they walked into the gym.
Adam nodded but he was still in a bad mood due to yesterday's event.
'I will kill that bitch if I get a chance.' He was determined to kill her.
As soon as they stepped into the gym they saw a huge brawny man with spiked up blond hair.
Two other trainers were also standing around him.
The brawny man also known as Lt.Surge saw the duo and said:"Oh these guys look more tough than the previous ones.But they're still going to lose."
Adam's bad mood intensified hearing Lt.Surge's goofy laughter.
He looked back and asked Noah:"Are you sure you aren't challenging the gym?"
Noah shook his head and said:"Nah I am not going to the league."
Adam nodded and turned around.
He took out his pokeball and released the Pokemon inside.
It was B.
Lt.Surge expression changed into ridicule as he said:" A gyarados is flying/water type are you dumb? You have already given up huh."
'Didn't this motherfucker lose against a Pikachu with his raichu?' Adam did not reply.
Lt.Surge stopped laughing and sent out his raichu.
"We can make this a one on one battle, you still have time to change your option." He said with a steely gaze.
But seeing that Adam is still adamant on using his gyarados he started the battle.
"Raichu quick attack and thunder."
"B tank it."
The raichu's speed rose as it charged at B with crackling yellow lightning around.
The moment it got close enough it released a devastating thunder onto the gyarados.
B had no change in expression as the thunder hit him.
He looked as good as new.
"Keep tanking all his attacks until I say stop."
The gyarados nodded at his trainer and looked at back the foe.
The raichu felt intimidated seeing the gyarados look down on it menacingly.
"Raichu volt tackle."
Huge amount of lightning crackled around the raichu and it charged at B again with extreme speed.
It crashed into the gyarados but the gyarados was unmoving like a mountain.
The raichu retreated with a dizzy head and looked at the gyarados in fear.
Lt.Surge frowned and commanded his raichu again.
"Raichu use thunder shock."
"Use thunder."
"Quick attack."
"Volt tackle."
"Mega punch."
But nothing worked.
They were hopeless.
Even though the gyarados did not move it still recieved some damage.
B looked at his trainer seemingly conveying something.
"Already done? Wasn't that a bit too fast?" Adam rose his eyebrows in suprise.
He then ordered "B use crunch."
The huge gyarados opened it's mouth and bit down on the raichu's tail and launched it across the gym.
The raichu smashed into the wall and fainted.
Lt.Surge had a helpless smile on his face.
He already knew he was hopeless.
He lost after boasting so much and felt embarassed just thinking about it.
He approached Adam to congratulate him.
But before he could say anything Adam impatiently said:"Just give me the badge and the TM."
Lt.Surge felt furious but did not dare to say anything because he was a gym leader.
He handed over the badge and TM to Adam and watched them leave with his lackeys.
"I should stop overestimating myself." He muttered.
*After half an hour*
"So when are you going to teach me?" Adam asked as he turned around and looked at Noah.
Noah replied:"I will only teach you telepathy nothing else.
We will start after setting up a shelter."
Adam nodded as they continued walking.
Right now they were in route 11 heading towards lavender city.
Adam have already given up his revenge on the blonde woman.
"It isn't worth it." He reasoned in his mind.
They found a suitable place and made two tents and a fire.
Noah sat near the fire while waiting for Adam.
Adam was now in the forest collecting firewood to keep the fire burning.
'I am too impulsive nowadays.' He reflected on his actions while remembering Giselle's and today's incident.
'Am I really a psychopath?If so then why wasn't I like this in my past life?'
He questioned himself and looked up at the night sky.
'If I continue to do this then how will I enjoy this life?'
'I always hated gory sights that I would sometimes see in the hospitals and admired doctors on how they didn't vomit at the sight of it.'
'Then what made me like this?'
'Was it any mind alteration done by a Pokemon or was it because of my reincarnation?'
He looked at A who was standing besides him and asked:"A do you think I am mentally ill?"
A gave him a thumps up and said"Nido!".
'I think he said at least you are self-aware' He mocked himself in his mind.
'But still I need to find the reason for my change in personality.'
His expression changed and he stopped collecting firewood.
'Enough of these useless thoughts, I should return to the camp right now.'
He walked back to his camp's location under the full moon.
