Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

"Eh? Ayu, are you going on a trip?"

Miss Joy at the Pokémon Center was a little surprised.

"Yes. Miss Joy, thank you for your care during this time."

Zhang Yu returned to the Pokémon Center, took Zou Cao for a check-up, and said goodbye to Miss Joy.

"Your walking grass is very healthy. It has plenty of grass-type energy. It should evolve soon."

"Evolution..."

Zhang Yu picked up the walking grass and looked around. Indeed, the leaves had become more vibrant than before.

"Duo?"

"Don't worry, Miss Joy said you'll be evolving soon. Do you feel anything special?"

Zou Zou Cao shook his head, indicating that he didn't feel anything.

"Hahaha, don't be anxious. Evolution requires an opportunity. Maybe you will evolve when you wake up. Just let nature take its course." Joey smiled.

"Since you are going to travel, you will inevitably have Pokémon battles. It is possible that the walking grass will evolve during the battle."

Zhang Yu had seen Pokémon evolve in the breeding house. At that time, it was a Metapod that evolved. It was a transformation of the life level, not only a change in body size, but also an increase in all-round capabilities.

"Okay, thank you Miss Joy. I won't bother you for now. See you later if we have the chance."

Zhang Yu took back the walking grass and said goodbye to Joey.

After coming out, Zhang Yu planned to buy things needed for the trip first.

The three essentials for Pokémon travel: sleeping bag, food, and healing medicine.

Zhang Yu came to the department store while flipping through the trainer's manual.

"Welcome, what can I do for you?"

"I can take a look at it myself." Zhang Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need help.

Sleeping bags are a must when traveling. A good sleep quality determines whether the trip can be sustained for a long time.

Zhang Yu picked and chose for a long time, and finally chose the Circle Bear brand sleeping bag, which also came with a pair of hiking boots. It cost 800 Poké Coins.

"Being a trainer is really a waste of money..."

The Pokémon world is not actually full of trainers. Many people just have one or a few Pokémon and live with them.

In addition to having a deep bond with the Pokémon, a true Pokémon trainer must also pass an annual trainer review, which includes but is not limited to Pokémon battles, wilderness survival assessments, gym badges, etc.

Sometimes we also have to assist the alliance in its work.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious, free treatment opportunities at the Pokémon Center once a day, and benefits such as previous accommodation.

Compared to ordinary people, trainers have more opportunities to make money. Those who are good at fighting can become coaches, those who are good at training can become trainers, and so on...

Zhang Yu currently has 5200 Poké Coins on him (not counting the 800 he just spent), and Sister Mei gave him a full in bonuses at that time.

"By the way, do you accept paralysis powder or something like that?"

Zhang Yu asked the clerk.

"Yes, but the price is not high because there are a lot of stocks. Now, it's 10 Pokécoins per gram."

He took out a few bottles of powder from his backpack, weighed them, and sold them to the clerk for 1000 Pokécoins—all of which Zhang Yu had collected during training. It took him more than a month to collect them.

In this way, he still has 6200 in savings, and then he can buy food and medicine.

I simply bought some cooking utensils, compressed food, and a map of the Orange Islands. The total cost was 500 yuan.

Afterwards, Zhang Yu went to the pharmacy.

"No, it's so expensive."

"A bottle of medicine costs 200 yuan!"

Zhang Yu was somewhat shocked.

Perhaps noting the customer's hesitation, the clerk explained.

"Trainers and Pokémon often get injured while traveling. If they are in a town, it's okay, but if they are in the wild, it will be very dangerous if the wound is not treated in time."

"There was once a trainer who became disabled because he did not receive timely treatment."

"I can guarantee that our medicines for injuries contain nutritious eggs produced by Jili Egg, and the healing effect is very good!"

Zhang Yu also agreed. Indeed, it is not always possible to get to the Pokémon Center for treatment in time during travel, so medicine is essential.

Finally, he bought 5 bottles of medicine for injuries, 3 vitality capsules, and a bottle each of antidote and antidote.

After taking several kinds of medicine, his wallet was shrunk by more than half. Yuanqi capsules were extremely expensive, 800 per capsule. These medicines cost him 4000 Pokémon coins in total.

There were still 1700 yuan left. The Poké Balls were cheap, 100 each. Zhang Yu bought 4, plus the 2 he got as a gift for becoming a trainer, now he had 6 Poké Balls.

"Save where you can and spend where you can. If you lose money, you can always earn it again."

Zhang Yu adhered to this idea and didn't feel too distressed.

Where to go next?

Open the map and look at the markers.

"Actually, I want to capture a water-type Pokémon so that I can travel on it. It saves me the money of taking a boat."

"But it seems that there aren't many large water-type Pokémon..."

Zhang Yu was a little confused.

"Forget it, it's more important to evolve the walking grass. Let me see... Hey, there is a Scyther forest to the east of Markote Island."

"Why not... go there for special training!"

After Zhang Yu determined his target, he headed towards the Scyther Forest.

He had heard from guests before that there were many insect-type Pokémon in the Scyther Forest, and there were often some insect-catching boys who went there to catch green caterpillars and the like.

The Sly Mantis is a group living inside this forest, which is why the forest got its name.

"drop--"

"Scyther, the praying mantis Pokémon, uses its sharp sickle to catch prey, and can sometimes flap its wings to fly."

The mechanical illustration voice introduced.

"Hmm... they look very powerful. I'd better try not to provoke them and just train outside the forest."

-

We followed the path to the Scyther Forest.

Walking Grass followed Zhang Yu in a skipping manner, looking around and seemed curious about everything.

"We are here, walking on the grass."

I stopped at the intersection and took a look. The forest was dense, and some young insect hunters were coming out of it, talking and laughing.

"The weather is nice, let's go in."

After entering the forest, the air became fresher and Zhang Yu saw quite a few caterpillars eating leaves on the trees.

There were some Metapods hanging on some trees, and occasionally a little Rattata jumped out from the grass, but when Zhang Yu turned around, it disappeared in a flash.

"What a great training environment! Great! Let's get ready for a great fight!"

Zhang Yu clenched his fist and shouted with great force.

"Duo! (.?`w′?)"

Walking Grass also responded

The green caterpillar on the tree looked at them, then turned back and continued eating.

"Look, there's a lone Spearow walking on grass. Disguise yourself as a normal plant and wait for it to get close to you. Then use paralysis powder, poison powder, and hypnotic powder. Three in one, and finally use the Flying Leaf Sharp Blade."

Zhang Yu and Zou Zoucao hid in the bushes behind Lie Que and discussed a plan.

"Duo~"

Walking Grass said it understood, but it always had an inexplicable sense of moral decline.

But it didn't think much about it in its little head. It burrowed into the soil with a "whoosh" and moved slowly in the soil with the help of grass-type energy.

"Knot..."

The Spearow was still looking for small insects to eat on the ground, and had no idea that danger was approaching.

"?"

Looking at a large grass that appeared in front of it at some point, it felt a little confused.

Suddenly, a piece of colorful powder burst out from the grass leaves and covered the face of Lieqiao.

"Knot!"

When it reacted and wanted to take off, its body was out of control and its head was dizzy. Two green blades of light broke through the smoke and hit the wings of the Spearow.

"Now! Impact!"

The walking grass instantly jumped out of the soil and hit the Spearow in the chest.

"结..." (sneak attack, can't afford to play...)

A set of smooth combos made Lieque unable to take care of himself. He fell to the ground from mid-air, with circles in his eyes.

"Nice job walking on the grass!"

A Yu came out from the bushes and happily high-fived Zou Xingcao.

"I've been wanting to try the 3-in-1 powder for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so effective!"

The poor Spearow didn't know who attacked it until it lost consciousness.

Looking at the Spearow lying on the ground, Zhang Yu felt a little conflicted. He actually didn't really want to capture this Pokémon.

"Well... When a trainer does not want to capture a Pokémon that has lost consciousness, he needs to remove the negative status of the Pokémon, such as poisoning, burning, freezing, etc., to prevent the Pokémon from losing its life."

After closing the trainer's manual, Zhang Yu took out the antidote and fed some to Spearow.

"Oh, that's a bit of a loss. Next time, I'll just use the paralysis powder and hypnotic powder. I'll use the poison powder depending on the situation."

Watching the purple bubbles on the Spearow slowly disappear and its breath calm down, Zhang Yu placed it in the grass. Just wait for it to wake up naturally. It shouldn't be a big problem.

"Well, today's goal is to get 10 wins!"

“Duo!!”
