Chapter 9: Step by Step
"SAAUUR!"
After spending a night together, uh, actually sleeping at Mike's house, and then taking a meal of energy cubes after washing up the next morning, the intimacy between Bulbasaur and Mike has increased to 70.
Although it is still far from the limit of 255, it is also a good start.
After breakfast, Mike also took Charmander and Bulbasaur back to the Pokémon game world. This time with Grass Type Pokémon, Mike specially took Bulbasaur to the flower bed in Viridian City.
After walking around, Bulbasaur found a beautiful feather here.
This feather is called Pretty Feather. In fact, this feather is of no use. Both Wingull and Pelipper will carry it. The only purpose of this thing is to be valuable, and it can be sold for 500 Pokédollar.
However, Mike is not in a hurry to sell it now. He can wait until later.
Then he also rode the charged electric car, with Charmander on the back and Bulbasaur in the frame in front, and rode towards Viridian Forest.
Driving through Route 2 again, Mike also focused on letting Bulbasaur practice more and level up it here.
Because after entering Viridian Forest, Bulbasaur is not easy to level up.
Because most of the Viridian Forest is filled with insects, and the bug types are one of the weaknesses of grass types, but they are easily defeated by fire, so Charmander is obviously better at dealing with insects. Bulbasaur mainly has to deal with Pewter City Gym and Cerulean Gym.
After spending more than three hours, Mike returned to Viridian Forest.
After taking Charmander and Bulbasaur back to recover, Mike followed them into Viridian Forest. As soon as he walked in, Mike saw a lot of Catterpie and Weedle, and the same number of Oddish and Bellsprout under the trees.
Soaring in the sky are still flying Pidgey, and there are also many of them.
Mike has actually considered the question of whether to catch a Pidgey. Although Pidgey is not particularly strong, it is still okay. The most important thing is that its final evolution Pigeot can Mega Evolve!
However, after thinking about it, Mike still gave up, because he didn't seem to need Pigeot, because his future Pokémon, Charizard, and Dragonite were inevitable, and the three Legendary birds, he should also be able to catch them, so Pigeot is no use to him.
So now he just glanced at it, and then gave up, focusing on Charmander and Bulbasaur to fight these Pokémon that suddenly appeared.
Of course, the biggest difference between Viridian Forest and Route 1 and Route 2 is that finally there are kids here who want to challenge Mike.
It was like this when he was playing games, and it is like this now. Not long after Mike left, several trainers jumped up to challenge them, but their Pokémon were either level 4 Rattata, or level 3 Weedle, Catterpie, Metapod or something.
Suddenly, Mike encountered a Nidoran♀, and Mike was stunned for a moment before reacting.
However, these trainers Pokémon pose no threat to Mike.
Mike's Charmander is like a duck in water. Basically, there is nothing that cannot be solved by one shot of fire. If there is, then use another shot.
But there are benefits to playing against these trainers. One is that after defeating these trainers Pokémon, Mike's Pokémon will gain more experience points.
Mike's Charmander has almost reached level 12 before noon, and he has learned a new skill, Dragon Breath.
As for Bulbasaur, although it is not the main force, Mike will still let Bulbasaur fight based on the battle on Route 2 and it keeps encountering Rattata or something else, so its level was quickly raised to level 9 and Learned Leech Seed.
Just like that, Mike would pick up some good things from time to time while walking around.
There are a lot of good things in Viridian Forest, not to mention tree fruits. There are almost all the tree fruits that Mike knows...
Mike is doesn't know how to make energy cubes, so he really has no interest in these tree fruits.
So he just pick a few randomly and give them to Charmander and Bulbasaur as snacks.
In addition to tree fruits, Mike picked up more than 20 Poké Balls, more than a dozen bottles of Potion, and an insect-attracting perfume here on the first day alone.
After this perfume is opened, it will attract a large number of Pokémon. However, Mike will not use it here. It should at least be used when fishing for Dratini in the Pokémon Reserve. In addition, he also picked up Several tiny mushrooms.
Tiny Mushroom is very useful in the game, because this thing is for move teaching enthusiasts to let Pokémon recall moves. Pokémon only has four skills in the game, but this is the real world, and Pokémon can use as many skills as they know.
So Tiny Mushroom is really of no use, but Mike still picked it up. Maybe it will useful later. Who knows if the world has become what it is now, and this game will also have some changes!
Soon, as it got darker, Mike was ready to go home and rest.
Although in the game world, Viridian Forest is not big, but in fact, Viridian Forest is extremely big.
In the anime, Ash walked here. Although he stopped the way, it took him eight days to get out of the forest.
Why eight days? Because on the first day, he subdued Catterpie, and then when he fought Team Rocket the next day, Catterpie evolved into Metapod, and then until he defeated the samurai trainer and left Viridian Forest, Metapod evolved into Butterfree.
Metapod transforms into Butterfree. In the game, it relies on experience, but in the real world, it relies on time. In a week, Metapod will evolve into Butterfree.
Although Mike has a small electric car, he has fought more battles than Ash, so in his estimation, he would have to walk for three or four days before he could get out of Viridian Forest.
There is no need to rush this, just take your time. He is not walking alone here, he is also leveling up. It is very likely that when Mike walks out of Viridian Forest, Charmander may have already reached level 16 and is evolved. So Mike is not in a hurry at all.
In this way, the first day passed quickly. Mike took Charmander and Bulbasaur home to recover first, eat midnight snacks, take a bath, and rest.
This kind of life may be a bit boring for a young man, but for an uncle soul like Mike, it is just right!
After a silent night, the next day soon came. Mike was originally planning to continue visiting Viridian Forest today, but his plans were disrupted by a phone call early in the morning.
