Gan shivered in excitement at the thought of a new region being known. Primeape even had a new evolution that looked so amazing. There were no details on how it was supposed to be evolved, but Gan was certain he'd find out eventually.
"My gosh, Bisharp also has a new evolution, this thing looks crazy!" Gan continued to be shocked by each new Pokemon he saw.
His motivational drive had increased drastically, he felt so excited seeing these new Pokemon.
Next to each name, it revealed a unique note. The note was small and easy to understand since it was direct and straight to the point.
These Pokemon are from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Gan also saw some new forms such as Zoroark—which was called a Hisuian form.
"Hisuian form? This form was a form from ancient times." Gan learned this from the letter's information. At that time, he hadn't received any information about the Paldea region.
This was Gan's first time seeing and hearing about it. His Pokedex had unknowingly updated about this new region at some pokemon in time.
Gengar and Alakazam looked over at Gan silently, wondering what was going on. Gan waved his hand, signaling that it was nothing.
Nonetheless, the expression on Gan's face said otherwise.
"There are so many wonders in this world that need exploring." However, Gan was in deep thought about these Hisuian forms, even Palkia and Dialga had new forms.
"I won't be able to get my hand on some of these forms from that time. There has to be a way, right?"
Gan thought deeply about it when he suddenly had a bold thought on the matter.
"Perhaps, I could subdue Dialga and Palkia. With that, I could go back in time and catch Pokemon of that era. Doing this might work, but won't that affect the time stream?"
However, it was the only way, he had to try it once he reached Sinnoh. Or at least, become the champion of that region.
"Well, these things are some ways away, so I best not dwell on it. For now, I need to worry about filling up this Pokedex."
Gan looked over his Pokedex to see what Pokemon he could evolve but he was left speechless. Both Nidorino and Nidorina needed to reach their late-70s and early-60s to really learn their best moves.
This was for their signature move, Earth Power.
"I might be able to get it as a TM at a Team Rocket base!" Gan suddenly thought. This was the best option, rather than trying to find a tutor.
"It really was a good idea to become a part of Team Rocket." Sometimes he had a bit of regret, but having Team Rocket's support has helped him greatly.
It was the perfect shield to hide behind in these times.
"Earth Power is a TM, so it's possible. " At this point, ninety-five percent of moves were TMs.
Gan didn't care anymore, he'll figure it out later. Right now, he needed to get this Pokedex up. He summoned Nidorina and Nidorino right after.
Gan thought the same for Growlithe, it was possible to get Flare Blitz, Wild Charge, and Play Rough as a TM. For these, Gan wasn't sure if Team Rocket may have them, so he held out on evolving Growlithe—for now.
"I have exactly two Moon Stones to make it happen." Gan smiled before looking at the two, who were looking around curiously.
They both looked at Gengar and Alakazam. Even though they had different appearances, they recognized them.
Gengar gave the two a big wide smile that looked conniving, while Alakazam gave the duo a nod.
"Guys, it's time to evolve you two to the next level. I will evolve you into a Nidoking and you, into a Nidoqueen."
Nido~!
Nido!
When both of them heard this, they danced with joy. Most Pokemon wanted to get strong and reach a higher state of power.
Gan pulled out both Moon Stones, which gave off a resonating response. Both of the Nido's bodies shivered with excitement, it was like their bodies already knew.
Without hesitation, Gan placed both Stones on each of their heads. In the next moment, their bodies flashed with white light. Their light silhouettes grew in size before slightly passing Gan in height.
Gan had to once again block his eyes due to the blinding light.
And just like that, both Nidoking and Nidoqueen were born. They both stood at 5'10, being taller than their standard height.
Since Gan had his Pokedex out, he felt it vibrate from an update.

Both Nidoking and Nidoqueen wanted to hug Gan, but with Nidoueen's ability, he didn't want to. Gan had to explain to her that he was at risk of being poisoned if he hugged her. He also couldn't hug Nidoking because it may come off as favoritism.
Pokemon got jealous too.
Gan cooked some food on the stove for the four of them. Alakazam had seen Gan do this many times as an Abra. It had remembered every single detail and felt like it wanted to try this itself one day.
Gan fed the four of them since he still had plenty of food on him. He could effectively. If his Pokemon were put into the Storage space, it would be like going into stasis.
They wouldn't get hungry or age.
This allowed him to save money, unlike every other trainer who had to constantly feed their Pokemon daily. Gan only kept Growlithe on his waist because he had to be sure to give her her medicine.
He didn't want her in stasis, something that could halt her sickness. After feeding the duo, Gan recalled them before storing them.
"I can evolve Pikachu with a stone, but I don't have a Thunder Stone right now." Gan simply had to head to Celedon to buy these Stones, so he wasn't worried.
The Pokemon I will choose to evolve are Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Horsea. Maybe I can find a Seadra or something, we'll have to see."
Gan on the other hand actually liked the Horsea that he was with. So he may dedicate himself to evolving it instead, he'd have to see.
In any case, Gan had decided to train the little trio to evolve them to their first evolution forms—at least.
Gan summoned the trio of royals, the starters of Kanto. Charmander was obtained in Rock Tunnel, Squirtle was acquired from Oak's lab, and Gan found a better Bulbasaur back in Viridian Forest.
Bulbasaur!
Char Char~!
Squirtle Squirt!
Gan previewed their status for assurance.

"This looks really fun and interesting, I have all the starters and I'm going to use them." Gan stroked his chin while smiling at the trio with a sense of accomplishment.
"These guys will need to be strong. I will also need to capture a decent Rattata and other lowly Pokemon."
Gan would need to pull off his biggest heist yet. This was to rob the Pokemon Daycare of those amazing Ditto. If he could get all of these Ditto, he could learn more about breeding.
This would in term allow Gan to have a steady flow of Pokemon being birthed.
Why? Because Gan wanted to create his own Guild in the future. He would need to give newcomers a starter Pokemon, and he could even sell some.
And what better Pokemon than one that's freshly hatched?
As for the rest, Gan may as well attempt to level up his Rocket team. They were closest to evolving, this meant Grimer, Koffing, and possibly Graveler.
Gan wasn't in a rush when it came to Grimer and Koffing since their evolutions may appear. Weezing was known to appear in the Power Plant. As for Muk, there was a chance for it to appear in the Burnt Mansion.
"My Pokemon will hopefully be evolved by then." The best place to train was in Viridian Forest, for now.
Thinking of this, Gan pulled out his satellite phone and gave Warren a call. He told Warren that the theft of the Museum will begin in two days.
Gan wanted to use this time to rest and train a bit. He wanted to train in Viridian forest for a little to evolve some Pokemon.
Gan didn't recall the trio and let them relax outside of their Pokeballs. He left the room with a basket of dirty clothes.
This Inn had its own laundry room, so he used it to clean his clothes which still cost him money. While his clothes were washing, Gan went back to his room and took a nice hot bath.
After a relaxing bath, Gan dried before putting on some moisturizer. Afterward, he wore some pajamas and left the room. He waited in the laundry room for his clothes to finish washing and drying.
After an hour and a half, all of his clothes were done washing and drying.
"I need to get more sleep these days, I move around a lot. I've done so much in the short time that I've been in this world."
Gan went to his room before taking out some little cushion beds for Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle to sleep on.
Shortly after, he laid in his bed and fell asleep.
