As Tyson approached the shelf, he noticed that each Poké Ball came with a detailed description of the Pokémon inside.
Although Tyson was relatively new to the Pokémon world, he had learned about the ranking system for Pokémon strength through conversations with others.
From lowest to highest, Pokémon strength was categorized as Beginner, Competent, Excellent, Advanced, Elite, Proficient, Pseudo-Champion, Champion, and Legendary.
Newly hatched Pokémon fell under the Beginner category, and only at the Competent level could they effectively begin training or battling.
The Pokémon on the shelves, primarily at the Competent level, were standard for most Team Rocket members. But Tyson understood the importance of making a strategic choice. A strong Pokémon could significantly impact a trainer's journey.
Determined to find the best option, Tyson ventured deeper into the room.
As Tyson explored, he found Pokémon of even higher quality. Among them were the starter Pokémon from the Kanto region: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.
In the anime, starters often seemed common, but in reality, they were considered strategic assets in every region.
Starters like these offered significant advantages:
Growth Potential: Their development rate was notably high.
Strength: They could easily outperform many other Pokémon.
Ease of Training: Even novice trainers could handle them effectively.
For these reasons, regional alliances tightly controlled their distribution.
Seeing these three on the shelf, Tyson understood that Team Rocket must have invested heavily to acquire them.
Without hesitation, Tyson decided to choose a starter Pokémon. But first, he reviewed their details carefully:

After considering his options, Tyson was drawn to Charmander.
Its inherited skill, Dragon Rush, hinted at a strong dragon lineage. More importantly, once it evolved into Charizard, it would be capable of flight—a valuable asset.
Tyson picked up Charmander's Poké Ball without hesitation.
"I've made my choice," Tyson said as he approached the man, holding the Poké Ball.
The man glanced at him and nodded.
"You understand, don't you? Nothing in this world comes for free. If I'm giving you such a valuable starter, you'll need to prove yourself worthy of it."
The man's stern gaze didn't intimidate Tyson. Instead, it fueled his determination.
"Yes, I understand!" Tyson replied confidently, prepared to face any challenges.
"Good. Rest today and bond with your Pokémon. Remember, a Pokémon isn't just your strength—it's a partner you can trust with your life."
The man paused before adding, "Starting tomorrow, I'll personally train you. Let's see if you can survive."
With that, he smirked as if imagining the grueling trials Tyson would face.
"By the way," he said before leaving, "you can call me Shadow."
"Yes, Master Shadow!"
After being dismissed, Tyson returned to his room and released his Charmander.
A flash of white light revealed the tiny orange Pokémon. Still half-asleep, Charmander looked at Tyson with curious eyes. Its sleepy demeanor melted Tyson's heart.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Tyson's mind.
"System activated. Congratulations on acquiring your first Pokémon!"
A glowing blue panel appeared before him, visible only to Tyson. The system displayed Charmander's details and listed several tasks:
System Missions
Bond with Charmander.
Reward: 5 Task Points
Increase Charmander's skill proficiency to Intermediate.
Reward: 10 Task Points
Enhance Charmander's strength.
Reward: 15 Task Points (evaluation based on improvement)
Excited by the possibilities, Tyson smiled and knelt to Charmander's level.
"Hey there, Charmander. I'm Tyson. Let's work together from now on, okay?"
Charmander blinked at Tyson's outstretched hand, hesitating briefly before placing its small paw in his.
"Ding! Mission completed!"
The notification in his mind brought a satisfied grin to Tyson's face.
Their journey together had just begun.
