Chapter 65 The Poké Ball That Can Capture Everything in the World!
Sabrina arrived at the Gym's backyard.
There weren't many Pokémon in the Gym's backyard; they were all Bai Yu's main Pokémon. The rest were cared for by Professor Oak Azure, and Bai Yu would visit them occasionally.
The Pokémon that the original owner had raised were rarely used in Gym battles due to their lack of strength.
As Bai Yu's main Pokémon improved, he gradually brought those Pokémon back to use in Gym battles.
"You seem quite relaxed. There aren't many people challenging the Gym today?"
Sabrina had just returned from Goldenrod City, bringing with her the item Bai Yu wanted.
As for the Thrust Helmet that Bai Yu had asked about last time, Sabrina had searched for it but couldn't find it anywhere. Even the shopkeeper in the department store hadn't heard of such an item.
"It's alright. There are more trainers challenging the Gym today than usual."
"They're all here because of the videos in the Pokédex."
Bai Yu hadn't expected that his match with Gary would attract so much attention.
Martha City had suddenly become a popular spot for many trainers.
Bai Yu also shifted from his previous tactical system to a strategy of facing opponents of equal strength, half-heartedly handing over his badge.
He didn't challenge any of the eight gyms in the Gym Leader Tournament.
The Macha Gym was still the same as usual, only with more people, making it much more lively.
If Xiao Shi and Shinji had known that the gym badge was so easy to obtain,
they wouldn't have challenged the Macha Gym so early, instead being tormented by Bai Yu all day.
"What is it doing?" Sabrina pointed to the Aggron not far away.
This Steel-type Pokémon had never appeared in either Kanto or Johto.
Sabrina knew that the Pokémon was abundant in the Hoenn region; she was just curious why Aggron was constantly carrying stones back and forth, its actions causing the entire backyard to vibrate.
"It's a way to enhance my strength, and incidentally, it also increases my explosive power." Bai Yu understood that the game wasn't reality.
A win in the game might not be possible in reality.
He might be able to beat Daigo in the game, but facing Daigo's shiny Metagross in reality would require considerable effort, and he might even lose.
"Boss~"
Aggron carried a large rock, moving forward steadily. The longer it used this weight, the more powerful its attacks would become, and its own strength would also increase.
When not in a match, Aggron would find an open space to strengthen itself.
Aggron's speed was relatively slow compared to most Pokémon, but its attack and defense were outstanding, especially its defense.
Against melee Pokémon, it could perfectly defend and seize opportunities to attack.
However, Bai Yu didn't want Aggron to just defend; Aggron also wanted to attack, so he used this method to compensate for its speed weakness.
The same applies to the other Pokémon. Bai Yu uses his memories to improve any shortcomings in their talents, bringing his Pokémon closer to perfection.
Besides daily training, Pokémon also need nutritional supplements. Ordinary food provides sufficient nutrition when not training, but after training, they need Energy Cubes to replenish the fatigue and
effectively convert training results. With Bai Yu's limited funds, he only conducts such training two or three times a week.
"Sigh~ that guy still consumes the most energy," Bai Yu said, looking at Aggron with some distress.
The Aggron is much larger and more developed than a typical Aggron, requiring 1.5 times the nutrition of other Pokémon.
That means if Houndoom eats two Energy Cubes, Aggron needs three.
Sometimes, Aggron even needs four or five.
No wonder it's a Pokémon raised on heavy metals; with such an appetite, if it weren't for the fact that leveling up in the game doesn't require energy replenishment, Bai Yu would have spent enough money to buy two gyms in real life to feed it to this stage.
"Just tell me if you need money." Sabrina took out her Pokédex. "The more Pokémon eat, the more their strength improves."
"That's a good thing~"
Sabrina was right, it was indeed a good thing. He couldn't keep asking Sabrina for money every time he was short.
It seemed he needed to find a new business to improve his meals. Judging by the timing, Team Rocket should be making their move against Goldenrod City soon.
Bai Yu had just seen a notice yesterday that Silph Corporation had developed a brand-new Poké Ball capable of capturing all Pokémon in the world, named the Master Ball.
Even the trainers who came to challenge yesterday were talking about this news, and Bai Yu believed that Giovanni would definitely not let this opportunity slip by.
He probably still lacked a Poké Ball capable of capturing the artificial god.
Once he obtained that Poké Ball, it would be equivalent to perfectly controlling that artificial god.
...
Somewhere in Viridian City.
In a dark and narrow alley, wisps of smoke rose.
Although located in the city, it seemed abandoned, nestled in the deepest part of the city.
Under the bright yellow lights, a group of trainers wearing black t-shirts walked into the alley.
They all had the letter 'R' written on their backs, and in the dim light, the red lettering was as dazzling as blood.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol, and one or two small purple mice were also scurrying around in the alley.
Suddenly!
A flame struck the two small purple mice, and the flame corroded their bodies.
The squeaking sounds gradually subsided, and the flames dissipated, leaving the two Rattatas roasted alive like dried rats.
This once bustling town in the Kanto Region, home to the strongest Gym Leader, seemed shrouded in an invisible darkness.
"Two troublesome creatures."
A man in a white suit, his tall figure accentuated by his snow-white gloves, stared at the two dead Rattatas, his eyes filled with disgust.
Even after dealing with the two Pokémon, he still felt nauseous.
This man was Apollo, one of the four generals of Team Rocket.
Having just returned from Vermilion City, he was looking for something to vent his frustrations on.
"The League... those guys are still as disgusting as before."
"But... if it weren't like that, it wouldn't be fun."
A maniacal glint appeared on Apollo's face, his eyes filled with a sinister glint.
If things were simple, he wouldn't have bothered; it was precisely because of the complexity that things became interesting.
"Ding~"
Apollo took out his Pokédex, which displayed a passage of text.
"Is Giovanni going to take action against Silph Corporation?"
"Is it for that Poké Ball?"
Apollo's pupils widened; this was the first time he'd heard Giovanni make a move.
He hadn't seen his boss in action for years.
Goldenrod City.
The most bustling town in the Kanto Region.
Apollo remembered that the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City seemed to be a member of Team Rocket.
He had cooperated with him once before.
In this world, there are two ways to teach Pokémon moves: one is through instruction, and the other is through TMs. If you like reading about Pokémon daily life, I can write more about that. Regarding the point of using Pokémon as tools, I don't think I've written the abandonment plot yet.
