Let you make animations and develop virtual Pokémon? Chapter 082

To know, in the version of “Pokémon: Origin of Dreams”, the initial three starters all had their own type moves, but Chikorita in the second game didn’t!

Of course, this definitely couldn’t be the game planners specifically targeting Chikorita; the other two starters certainly wouldn’t have type moves either.

“Chikoori…”

However, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.

Chikorita heard what Taozi said and immediately thought the other party disliked it. It involuntarily lowered its head, the leaf on its head drooped, and its round eyes welled up with tears.

Taozi then realized her slip of the tongue and quickly squatted down to hug the little fella.

“Oh, little fella, I didn’t mean to dislike you!”

Chikorita heard this, and although its head was still lowered, the leaf on its head lifted a few points.

Taozi continued hastily, “Really, really! If we don’t have type moves, then we’ll work hard together! I guarantee, by my name as an elite trainer! You’ll quickly learn powerful Grass-type moves!”

“Chikoori~!”

Hearing Taozi’s words, the tears in Chikorita’s eyes hadn’t completely faded, but they had already rekindled their sparkle.

“But, I really didn’t expect that my Chikorita is actually a girl.” Taozi stroked Chikorita’s head.

“Chikoori~~”

Chikorita rubbed affectionately against Taozi’s palm, letting out a joyful cry.

…

No matter what, Taozi was a player who had obtained 8 badges in “Pokémon: Origin of Dreams”.

In beginner Pokémon battles, she was naturally at ease.

Somewhere on Route 29.

A gentle breeze rustled through the grass. Taozi was calmly directing her Chikorita to battle a wild Rattata.

This was already Chikorita’s third battle.

Compared to the first two battles, Taozi and Chikorita’s teamwork had significantly improved.

“Chikorita, finish it with Tackle!”

Chikorita heard the command, and the tender leaf on its head drew a emerald green arc in the sunlight, forcefully crashing into Rattata.

“Bang!”

With a dull thud of impact, Rattata was knocked rolling two times on the ground, losing its ability to battle.

At the same time, a faint light suddenly emanated from around Chikorita.

[Your Chikorita has leveled up to Level 6 and learned a new move: Razor Leaf!]

Hearing this prompt in her mind, Taozi was pleasantly surprised.

“What? Razor Leaf! Did I hear that right?!”

In her memory, Bulbasaur in the “Pokémon” series had to reach at least level ten or more to learn this move, but her Chikorita learned it at just level 6!

What surprised her even more was that the system actually actively prompted the skill learning message. You know, in previous games, trainers had to constantly open the Pokémon’s data panel to discover new skills.

“This change is so thoughtful!”

Chikorita also seemed to feel Taozi’s joy, happily shaking the leaf on its head.

Before Taozi could walk a few steps, a faint “hoo-hoo” sound suddenly came from the treetop ahead.

She looked up and saw a plump bird Pokémon standing on one leg on the branch.

Its balloon-like round body slightly rose and fell with its breathing, its toes firmly gripping the branch, maintaining balance.

“Is this a Pokémon from a new region?”

Unfortunately, Taozi didn’t have a Pokédex right now, so she couldn’t know the detailed information about this Pokémon.

“Never mind, let’s not disturb it for now. We’ll do the mission and get the Pokédex first.”

Taozi whispered to herself, carefully.

About ten minutes later, she walked west along the road. The trees gradually thinned out, replaced by an increasingly rich floral scent.

When the last tree shadow faded, the full view of Yoshino City suddenly appeared before her eyes.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying the scent of flowers.

“So fragrant.”

The moment Taozi stepped into the city, she exclaimed, “The people in this city really love flowers!”

On both sides of the streets, in front of residential houses, and even on lampposts, hung blooming flower baskets. Pink, yellow, and purple flowers swayed in the gentle breeze.

“Chikoori~~”

Chikorita in her arms let out a joyful cry.

“Right, Chikorita is a Grass-type Pokémon, so it must like being in this environment.”

This city gave Taozi an idea. She planned to return home later and create a sea of flowers for flower-loving Pokémon like Chikorita to live in.

Taozi didn’t stay long in the city but continued to follow the map’s guidance, departing from the northern suburbs of Yoshino City and proceeding along Route 30.

Compared to Route 29, the natural environment here was more expansive, and the ecosystem was richer.

In the forests along the way, in addition to common first-generation Bug-type Pokémon, one could also see Spinarak weaving shimmering silver webs between the treetops, and Ledyba flying in groups among the flower bushes.

Amidst this, Taozi vaguely saw a person with a green name above their head battling wild Pokémon in the distance.

Presumably, it must be a player.

But Taozi still didn’t stop. Her steps were hurried, and she headed straight for the Pokémon Grandpa’s residence.

Twenty minutes later, a luxurious wooden house appeared in Taozi’s field of vision.

She gently pushed open the wooden door, and what greeted her eyes was Professor Oak and an old man in a brown suit sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

“Hey! Taozi, it’s good to see you after all these years.” Professor Oak put down his teacup and stood up.

Compared to the “Pokémon: Origin of Dreams” era, Professor Oak had a few more wrinkles around his eyes, and the gray hairs at his temples had visibly increased.

“Hello, Professor. I’ve missed you too,” Taozi replied, following his words.

“Taozi, how have you been these past few years?” Professor Oak asked with concern.

“Quite well.” Taozi nodded. “What about Red and Green?”

“That boy Green is now a Gym Leader in Viridian City.” Professor Oak showed a relieved smile, then frowned slightly with a hint of worry. “As for Red… that child’s whereabouts are uncertain; even I rarely get news of him.”

Beep beep beep…

Just then, an urgent phone ring sounded. Professor Oak pulled out his phone from his pants pocket, and the screen displayed a call from “Professor Elm.”

“Hello, Elm?”

“Something big has happened! Has Taozi arrived there yet?”

“She just arrived.”

“I need her assistance; the Pokémon at the lab are missing!”

Professor Elm’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line, and the image of the red-haired boy from before suddenly flashed through Taozi’s mind.

Could it be him?

“Calm down first. I’ll inform Taozi.”

Professor Oak responded calmly. After hanging up the phone, he quickly walked to the incubator by the window, carefully took out a Pokémon egg, and handed it to Taozi.

“Taozi, it’s urgent. Professor Elm’s side has some issues. Take this egg and quickly go back to the lab to check it out.”

“Okay!”
