After that, Lukas used a Poké Ball to capture Gible and succeeded.
He danced around for a while, spouting random nonsense before logging out of the game.
Red, who had been watching Lukas, turned off the screen and put his jacket back on.
After his gym battle with Brock, he had been resting in his rented room while keeping an eye on Lukas.
Leaf had even thought Red was becoming antisocial, so she tried to convince him to go out and play, considering they were still just ten-year-old kids.
But Red declined. After all, watching Lukas go wild and nearly burn down a house was quite entertaining.
Lukas was dumb and chaotic, but it was precisely that which made his reckless strategies so dangerously effective.
He even encountered a Pokémon Red had never seen before—until the system informed him it was the god of life, Xerneas.
And let's not forget the Mega stone Garchompite he got, which wasn't cheap in the shop.
Low IQ but insanely high luck...
[Master! Are you ready?]
"..."
[Judging by your expression, I'd say you are.]
Red put on his cap and walked out of the rented room with a sleepy Pikachu tucked into his shirt.
Leaf, who was chatting with Misty, noticed Red coming out. She waved and smiled.
"Hurry up, Red! I don't want to be late because of you!"
Red quickly ran over, and the three of them gathered together.
"Red, are you okay? Leaf said you've been in your room alone since yesterday afternoon," Misty asked with concern.
Red didn't say anything, but his expression conveyed not to worry.
Misty and Leaf seemed to understand, so the two continued their conversation.
The three of them were heading to Cerulean City, but to get there, they had to pass through Mt. Moon.
The fastest way was to go through the cave in Mt. Moon, where fortunately, many hikers had set up camp.
However, it was still a long journey—they had to travel through Route 3 first, where numerous trainers gathered, and they were pretty eager to battle.
But that wasn't a problem. Both Leaf and Red were quite strong, so defeating all those trainers wouldn't be an issue. In fact, it would benefit Red by increasing his experience and earning some extra money.
[Master, there's something I'm curious about...]
"...?"
[You haven't checked anything—like your skills or Pokémon information—have you?]
Wait, what? There's something like that?
Red looked at the system in confusion, which caused it to sigh, even though it didn't have a mouth.
[Did you forget everything I told you...? No matter, I still have patience.]
The system then guided Red through the process again. Red's information appeared, and it was still the same as before.
The system then instructed Red to tap on "Skills" to read the descriptions.
Bond: Easily create a strong bond between you and your Pokémon that is hard to break. Pokémon may be able to sense their trainer's thoughts, and vice versa.
Currently bonded Pokémon: Pikachu
Understand Pokémon Language: Allows you to understand what Pokémon are saying or their intentions.
Command: Gives you the ability to easily issue commands that Pokémon will understand, no matter how complex or confusing the order.
"...Unnecessary Words!": You don't talk so shut up and be cool.
'Alright, why does that last one feel like it's mocking me?'
Afterward, the system showed Red how to check his Pokémon's information.
[Pikachu Lv.28
Gender: Female
HP: 58
Attack: 40
Defense: 30
Special Attack: 36
Special Defense: 36
Speed: 57
Ability: Static
Held Item: Light Ball (exclusive item that boosts Pikachu's Attack and Special Attack by 2)
Description: This Pikachu was once hurt but has now found someone she wants to protect. Quite stubborn, easily jealous, and lazy when around you. She has very high potential, just like her trainer!]
'The information is quite detailed...'
Red read the details about Pikachu, who was sleeping in his jacket.
He had to admit that Pikachu wasn't considered very strong, her best stat was her speed. However, thanks to the Light Ball, she became significantly more powerful.
[Master, do you understand how to do it now?]
Red nodded, thanking the system. The system felt a bit shy at the compliment, so it said nothing further.
After that, the three of them decided to head through Route 3.
"REDDD!"
But just before leaving Pewter City, someone called out Red's name.
Red turned around, wondering who was calling him.
Oh, it was Brock, the Rock-type Gym Leader.
WAIT, HOW IS HE HERE?!
Brock approached, wearing an enormous backpack. Noticing the expressions on the faces of the three, he simply explained.
"Sometimes I just want to have some fun too, you know?"
"But you're the Gym Leader..."
"Not anymore because I'm a trainer now. I've handed my Gym Leader responsibilities over to my younger brother. It's time for him to show what he's capable of," Brock said, smiling at his Gym.
Brock had thought this through carefully.
Since battling Red, the joy of being a trainer had returned, and he didn't want to lose it.
However, as the Gym Leader, he couldn't abandon his responsibilities for his own enjoyment.
After all, a Gym Leader not only tests trainers who want to enter the Indigo League but also protects the city they serve.
Until he saw a photo of himself at age 10. He had also participated in the League back then
While his rank hadn't been high, it was more than enough for him.
Looking at the picture, his resolve strengthened.
He discussed this thoroughly with his family, and fortunately, they all agreed because his happiness was their happiness.
With the absence of their parents, he was the only one capable of earning money, so he always took care of his younger siblings.
The oldest among them, around 13 years old, often acted as a referee and had gained quite a bit of battle experience.
So, Brock was confident in handing over the Gym Leader responsibilities to his younger brother. He explained everything thoroughly.
After all, he was the eldest sibling and the pillar of his family, so he was very mature.
The three of them exchanged glances, pondering whether or not to let Brock join them.
"I can cook."
"You're invited to the gang," Leaf said, raising her hand enthusiastically for a handshake.
Whatever else, being able to cook was the most important thing.
Brock had officially joined the gang!

Sometime idk who's the mc on this fanfic
Cuckmaster6969: YOYOYO! It's your guy here, do you remember me? If you do, give me a kiss on the cheek, I'll always love those who actually do that.
Cuckmaster6969: And today marks the 3rd day since the game was released, thanks to Arceus Company for bringing us all together!
Cuckmaster6969: So I have a reward. If anyone wants it, just take a picture of your feet, because leg hair is a beautiful memory.
Cuckmaster6969: Oh, armpit hair works too, but I prefer leg hair.
Fairygothgirl: Have you been texting alone at 3 a.m.?
Cuckmaster6969: WHAT?! NO! I'm not lonely! I'm just giving an early announcement. By the way, do you want the reward? Just take a picture of your feet!
Bigantiyellowhair: Just ignore him, @Fairygothgirl, he's gone crazy.
Farmerlily: How do you know that?
Bigantiyellowhair: He spammed my messages at 4 a.m.
Oceanlover: I thought the group leader was just a funny guy, but I didn't expect him to be so gross, sending me a video of how to cook fish.
Birdup: What's so gross about cooking fish??
Oceanlover: It is gross! I can't accept anyone hurting sea creatures! They have lives too!
Birdup: ...so what about creatures that don't live in the sea?
Oceanlover: They make delicious meals.
Bob: At least my brother sends me pictures of girls! Even though it only showed the neck, the fair skin was so beautiful that it made me really curious. Is that your sister, @Cuckmaster6969?
Cuckmaster6969: Oh, that's actually my neck, and thanks for the picture of your leg hair.
Bob has left the group.
Bigantiyellowhair: You're really terrible.
Cuckmaster6969: It's because you guys won't send me pictures of your leg hair.
Bigantiyellowhair: So, why do you need it?
Cuckmaster6969: To complain about the disgusting restaurant I ate at yesterday! When I went there, the food they served had hair in it! So gross!
Bigantiyellowhair: ...so what's the reward?
Cuckmaster6969: A stone.
Bigantiyellowhair: ...a stone?
Cuckmaster6969: Yeah, it's round and looks like the ones kids used to collect and play with, good old days...
Fairygothgirl: I thought you were a pervert who wanted to see other people's feet, but it turns out you're just really dumb and only care about leg hair.
Cuckmaster6969: At least I'm not obsessed with girls. I know what I'm doing.
"...really?" Lily, currently dressed in an idol costume, looked at the messages with a confused expression.
Bigantiyellowhair: So, did Bob receive your REWARD?
Cuckmaster6969: He refused, saying that the picture of the neck was a much better reward.
Farmerlily: Poor guy.
Rey looked at the messages for a moment before turn off.
He looked at the virtual reality headset, intending to put it on right away.
After all, Cyndaquil and Weedle were still waiting for him!
But playing alone is boring; he wanted to play and explore with friends instead...
Oh well, they're all busy anyway; not everyone can just take time off like Lukas.
He stood up, turned on his computer, and checked out the new games.
"Huh?"
The Pokémon game showed a red circle on the left side.
A red circle meant that there was a notification.
He clicked on the game to see the notification.
"Update? UPDATE??? UPDATE!!!"
He shouted excitedly and started reading the update notes.
It's only been 3 days, and the game already has an update; isn't that a bit fast??
But that's good! The faster the game updates with cool new stuff, the better!
The update notes read as follows:
- Gym Boss Update
- More new Pokémon added
- New special items added
- Shop update
- New antagonist added
- Bug fixes
"Quite a lot," Rey thought as he clicked to check out the Gym Boss update.
Gym Bosses are basically checkpoints to test if the players are strong enough; the Pokémon they call out will depend on your level and Pokémon.
New Pokémon? No surprise there, since the game is still in beta, it's not shocking if they add more Pokémon.
Items, on the other hand, are different. Depending on the item, it could unlock a hidden quest or a special piece of equipment for your Pokémon.
The shop update is great! Lately, they've been earning money but didn't know what to spend it on, making the money feel a bit redundant. Now, with the shop update, players can go and spend it.
And the new antagonist is someone who steals Pokémon.
After reading the entire update, Rey couldn't help but feel excited.
There's quite a bit here, especially the item section. If there's equipment for Pokémon, they can make weak Pokémon stronger! (Wrong, except for that Rattata.)
And the most special thing in this update...
The beta now allows more players!
From 5 players, it's now 10!
Not much...
Rey quickly grabbed his phone and texted everyone to let them know.
Bigantiyellowhair: @All, the game just got an update.
Cuckmaster6969: WHAT, FOR REAL?!
Bob: AWESOME, I WANT TO SEE IF THEY ADDED MORE FEMALE CHARACTERS!
Cuckmaster6969: When did you rejoin the group??
Bigantiyellowhair: Oh, and the game now allows 5 more players.
Oceanlover: @Birdup QUICK QUICK QUICK!!
Birdup: Damn it, why right when I'm about to take a bath?!
Fairygothgirl: I'm busy, I'll update later.
Farmerlily: Same here.
Cuckmaster6969: So, it's just us guys, then.
Bob: That's sad; I don't like being around Cuck.
Cuckmaster6969: That hurts my feelings!
***
Updating games made by Arceus Corporation is a bit different.
They have to connect their virtual reality (VR) headsets to their computers since VR headsets are essential.
Oceanlover and Birdup were lucky enough to register in time. A few hours later, their VR headsets were delivered to their doorstep.
They seem to have never played a game made by Arceus Corporation before, just like Lukas, who accidentally registered because he was bored.
After all, the game was free then why not click to register?
So, the group decided to play right away.
They didn't know that updates like this didn't actually change anything, because the "game" they were playing was, in fact, the real Pokémon world.
But that's a story for later, the most important thing is that 5 new players will join.
The locations where those 5 players will appear are three places: Pallet Town, Viridian City, and Pewter City—places Red has already visited.
And all these updates were automatically done by the system.
Since Red is the Admin, his only task is to manage the players.
After summoning 5 new players, the system went back to hibernation.
Red will undoubtedly face more problems caused by these new players...
