Kanto Region, Pallet Town, Oak Laboratory.
At this time, Professor Oak was studying the data in front of him when a teleportation machine beside him made a whistling sound.
The sound caught Professor Oak's attention, so he stopped what he was doing and looked towards the teleportation machine.
"Who sent a Pokémon here?" Professor Oak wondered aloud as he operated the teleportation machine.
"It turns out that Gary sent it back!"
Soon, the computer on the machine displayed Gary's information and the Poké Ball that was teleported, and Professor Oak showed an understanding expression.
"Let me see, what Pokémon is in this Poké Ball?"
Professor Oak was very interested in the Poké Ball that Gary teleported, so he opened it directly without machine testing, and soon a gray figure appeared in the laboratory.
"This is... an Aerodactyl!"
After seeing such a precious ancient Pokémon as the Aerodactyl, Professor Oak's eyes immediately lit up, and he even began to think about how he should study the Aerodactyl next.
However, just as Professor Oak was immersed in his fantasy and research plans, the Aerodactyl that was knocked unconscious by Gary slowly opened its eyes.
The Aerodactyl, upon opening its eyes, immediately noticed Professor Oak, who was still grinning. Although it didn't know where it was or who Professor Oak was, the Aerodactyl, which still maintained its ancient habits, looked at Professor Oak.
After a roar, it pounced on Professor Oak.
Because Professor Oak didn't notice it, a cry of surprise soon came from the research institute.
The villagers passing by were not curious after hearing the scream. After all, this kind of thing always happens, so they had long been accustomed to it.
Back to Gary and the others, since the Aerodactyl was resurrected, Gary had no reason to stay and was more worried about the condition of the Aerodactyl.
So after saying goodbye to Mr. Stone and Steven, he left Devon Corporation with Rosa and Hilda and returned to the Pokémon Center where they were staying.
After returning to the room in the Pokémon Center, Gary immediately contacted his grandfather, Professor Oak, who was far away in the research institute, by phone because he was worried about the condition of the Aerodactyl.
"Hello, Gary!"
However, when Gary saw the image of Professor Oak on his phone, he immediately showed an incredulous look.
"Grandpa, what happened to you?"
Looking at his grandfather's white coat and red shirt, which were completely gone, and only a few white and red strips of cloth were left on his body.
"This..."
After hearing Gary's question, Professor Oak was a little embarrassed for a while and couldn't say it.
"Could it be... because of the Aerodactyl!"
Gary knew his grandfather well, and after careful thinking, he came to a conclusion.
"Grandpa, didn't you check the teleportation machine before releasing the Pokémon?"
"That's it."
After being discovered by Gary, Professor Oak also showed an awkward but polite smile.
"Forget it."
This is already a common occurrence for his grandfather, so Gary didn't continue to pursue it.
"Grandpa, how is my Aerodactyl?"
Gary shifted the topic to the right track and asked about the status of the Aerodactyl.
"Your Aerodactyl still has a lot of ferocity, so it needs more training,"
After a pause, Professor Oak continued: "In addition, its body is a little weak, so it also needs some nutrition."
"Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa."
Gary knew his grandfather's ability very well, so he entrusted the Aerodactyl to him.
"No problem."
How could Professor Oak refuse his grandson's request?
"But where did you get your Aerodactyl?"
This is also what Professor Oak is curious about.
"I accidentally got an Old Amber with Aerodactyl genes, and then resurrected the Aerodactyl through the fossil resurrection machine of Devon Corporation."
Gary also briefly introduced the source of his Aerodactyl.
"Is that so? No wonder it is so fierce!"
Hearing this, Professor Oak also understood Gary's Aerodactyl.
"By the way, Grandpa, I have another thing to ask you."
After talking about the Aerodactyl, Gary talked about the next thing.
"Oh, what is it?"
Hearing this, Professor Oak became a little interested in Gary's affairs.
"Grandpa, is there any way to increase the number of Pokémon I can carry? I feel that six Pokémon are too few."
This is also what Gary has always been concerned about, because the number of Pokémon captured recently is too large, resulting in many Pokémon that cannot be taken care of in time and are teleported back to the Oak Research Institute.
"Well, this is more difficult. After all, the league has regulations that the trainer's ability to take care of Pokémon is already at the maximum!"
Professor Oak was also very embarrassed about Gary's request.
"I think, with my ability, I can take good care of my Pokémon."
Gary also knew what Professor Oak was worried about, so he patted his chest and said.
"This..."
Just when Professor Oak was still hesitating, Gary interrupted him directly.
"I think, with Grandpa's ability, it should not be a problem!"
At this point, Gary also began to compliment his grandfather.
"You!"
After hearing what Gary said, Professor Oak shook his head helplessly.
"With your grandfather's ability, I can only allow you to add six more Pokémon, so..."
Before Professor Oak finished speaking, Gary nodded impatiently: "Add six more Pokémon, that's it."
Gary didn't think much, and with the current twelve Pokémon, it should be able to meet his requirements.
"Well, let's start the operation here, and don't forget to align your Pokédex with the Pokémon transfer machine in the Pokémon Center."
Since Gary's request has been agreed, Professor Oak began to use his authority to operate.
"Okay."
In the following time, Gary also went through the order his grandfather said, came to the Pokémon transfer machine in the hall of the Pokémon Center, and operated it.
With the help of Professor Oak, the number of Pokémon that Gary carried increased from six to twelve.
After completing these, Gary decisively teleported the few Pokémon originally stored in the research institute back.
"That's all."
(Gary currently holds the following Pokémon: Blastoise, Arcanine, Umbreon, Shiny Metagross, Electabuzz, Pupitar, Lairon, Shiny Magikarp, Aerodactyl)
