The amusement park in Vermilion City had a large 'Closed for Business' sign posted at its entrance today.

As the only pair of visitors in the amusement park, Gary couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.

"I didn't expect it to be closed today. Good thing Sister Lorelei, you know someone," Gary said, shrugging his shoulders in relief.

"Uh~ I don't really know anyone. I just booked the entire place for today," Lorelei said with a lazy smile.

"After all, my status is special. If I were to go to a crowded place like an amusement park, it would probably cause a stampede."

Gary raised an eyebrow. Even as a rich second-generation, all he could say about this kind of operation was that Lorelei was truly wealthy...

After last night's moonlight dinner, Gary was preparing to bid Lorelei farewell. He still had to continue his journey.

Lorelei, being understanding, nodded in agreement. However, after checking her schedule,

Lorelei excitedly discovered that she still had one day of vacation before she had to return to Indigo Plateau to report for duty.

So~

Wearing black plain glasses, a white shirt, and a hip-hugging skirt with black stockings, the mature woman leaned pitifully on the counter, holding up one finger to Gary: "One day, just one more day with me, okay? I can't remember the last time I went out to play..."

Gary shook his head and sighed. Who could resist that? A charming, mature older sister just wanted to go to an amusement park once. What was wrong with that? Of course, he agreed to her request...

And so, today's trip to the amusement park came to be~

"Alright, all of this is ours today. Which one do you want to start with?" Lorelei turned around, and all the amusement park rides lit up.

Gary tilted his head, thinking. Had he forgotten something important? "Never mind, who cares? I want to ride the roller coaster first!"

...At the Vermilion Gym, Lt. Surge stood amidst a pile of cigarette butts, rubbing his hair and roaring, "Motherfucker! That kid Gary actually dared to stand me up! Where is he, and with whom! I'm going to kick that kid's ass right now!"

A subordinate below him said, "Uh, that kid is currently at the Vermilion City amusement park. Lorelei of the Elite Four booked the amusement park, and the two of them are currently playing. Boss, should I bring the brothers to pull their power switch?"

Lt. Surge's expression changed. "You shut your trap! As Gym staff, how can you be so unreasonable! You go wait at the entrance. When that guy is done, then you tell him about the Vermilion Gym's invitation."

The subordinate froze in place. "Huh? Boss, since when have we been so reasonable...?"

Lt. Surge's mouth twitched. He slapped the subordinate hard, then flexed his right bicep, which had a new tattoo.

It was in the writing of the Akana Region, with the character for 'reason' on it: "I've always been one to convince people with reason, do you understand? Understood?"

The subordinate covered his face, feeling wronged, afraid he would cry too loudly... "Got it, Boss, I'll go now."

Watching the subordinate walk out the door, Lt. Surge finally breathed a sigh of relief. "When Lorelei goes crazy, not even Lance can stop her. I'm not going to court disaster. Hmph~"

..."Ah!!!" Accompanied by Lorelei's screams and Gary's cheers, the roller coaster soared into the sky.

_(??」)vomit... Jynx, sitting in the back, threw up on the first loop.

"Yahoo! That was amazing!" Coming off the roller coaster, Lorelei was as excited as a little girl: "How about it, Encore?"

Gary looked at Jynx, whose face had turned pale, and shook his head speechlessly. "Let's go on the drop tower instead."

Jynx stiffened all over and decisively pulled out her poké ball, slamming her head into it.

"Alright, it looks like Jynx isn't very interested in amusement rides. Let's just the two of us play," Lorelei said with an indifferent smile, pulling Gary along to continue experiencing life.

As the central amusement park of Vermilion City, the rides here were indeed diverse.

Gary and Lorelei rode the drop tower, the pirate ship, and the log flume.

Honestly, in the log flume's pool, those Poliwag, don't think I didn't see you intentionally spraying Water Gun on my back!

The two of them went wild all morning. At noon, they simply ate some of the amusement park's specialties, cotton candy and caramel shortbread, and each had a latte. They sat by the artificial lake and went fishing.

"Mmm So comfortable It's been a long time since I've been this relaxed," Lorelei purred like a kitten, sitting lazily on her small stool.

"Are you very busy? The work of an Elite Four?" Gary asked, watching his fishing bobber.

"Hmm~ How should I put it, most of the paperwork is handled by specialized administrative staff, but the Kanto Region's location is too special.

The rampant Team Rockets need us to suppress them, the regional touring exhibition matches, the annual Master Tournament, the Champion League, the ranking battles... so there's not much chance to really have fun," Lorelei counted her workload on her fingers.

"It feels like you guys are busier than the Champions of other regions," Gary laughed.

"Isn't that the truth~" Lorelei sighed. The Kanto monster house, indeed. In fact, each of the Kanto Elite Four has strength infinitely close to a Champion. However, it's a chain reaction, and no one can sweep the other three.

Because of this, the Kanto Region is jointly administered by the Elite Four, and there isn't a Champion to take charge.

You know, the Elite Four of other regions are much more comfortable. The Hoenn Champion is even so idle that he can dig pits all over the world looking for stones. The Kalos Champion is also a famous actress...

"You've worked hard~" Gary said, shaking his head with a smile.

"Not hard, just a hard life~" Lorelei waved her hand.

"When will a brilliant genius appear, with enough strength and a good mind, who can defeat all four of us in one go and take up the scepter of Kanto? Then our Kanto Elite Four will be at ease~"

Gary raised an eyebrow, his tone calm: "Well~ It will happen. Trust me."

Looking at Gary winking, Lorelei, for some reason, felt that this young man could really do it.

Splash~ Suddenly, Gary's hand felt heavy!

"It's hooked, pull it up quickly!" Lorelei said excitedly.

Gary shook his head, both amused and exasperated. "In the park's artificial lake, it's probably just a Magikarp, it's not like I caught a Kyogre~"

"Oh, come on, hurry, we'll know when we see it," Lorelei patted Gary's shoulder, urging him.

"Alright, I know. Sister Lorelei, you stand back a bit, don't get hit in the face by a flailing Magikarp~" Gary reminded her while pulling the fishing line.

He still remembered when he was young, Gary went fishing outside of town. Before he even reached the river, he saw Ash being repeatedly slapped six or seven times by a Magikarp.

Gary used this incident as a joke, mocking Ash for a year...

"Quack~" As the Pokemon beneath the water surfaced, Gary couldn't help but be bewildered.

A yellow, chubby duck with three tufts of hair on its head waved at Gary, even blowing a flirtatious wink...

"What the heck? Did that Psyduck just wink at me?" Gary asked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Uh... it seems so," Lorelei also looked curiously at the Psyduck in front of them.

Seeing Gary frozen there, the Psyduck hanging on the fishhook couldn't help but thrash around. Then its eyes turned blue, and a blue glow enveloped its body. It floated directly up and came before Gary.

Then, this Psyduck put one hand behind its back and the other on its chest, performing a perfect noble bow: "Quack [Are you, my destined Trainer?]"

Gary was completely dumbfounded. Was that telepathy just now?

Damn it, wasn't telepathy a skill that only Pokemon with extremely high psychic power, and intelligence and emotional intelligence above normal levels, could possibly use?

Why would a Psyduck use it? Shouldn't Pokemon of this species be muddled and idiotic?

Looking at Gary's surprised expression, the Psyduck spread its hands in a human-like gesture. In Gary's mind, the voice sounded again: "I think I can explain. Now, can you get me a poké ball first? I'd like to take a nap~"

Lorelei nodded at Gary. This kid was definitely special. Catching him would definitely not be a bad thing.

Gary thought the same way. So, he took out an empty poké ball and placed it in front of the Psyduck.

The Psyduck looked at Gary, nodded in satisfaction, and gently tapped the button, entering the poké ball.

Leaving Gary and Lorelei to look at each other.
