Day Two

Professor Oak's Lab

The protagonist finally reached Pallet Town again, Professor Oak's package in tow.

Professor Oak:

"Great, you got my package. That's wonderful. Now ol' Professor Oak can plant his tree wherever he wants, with no need to worry about little saplings sprouting up.

Say, kid, I need you to do me another favor. The government is hounding me to actually show them some completed research, and I'm in a bit of a jam. Would you please go around the entire world and finish cataloguing all known species of Pokemon? I would have done it myself, but I've been... 'busy'. Lot of fine women in this town, know what I mean?

Thanks.

But just so you know, in the extremely likely event that you might fail, I've also called my son... er, I mean 'grandson', in here to do the bulk of the work. Probably."



Gary Oak:

"As long as I can borrow the car. I ain't walking, and I was going to cruise around looking for babes anyway."



Professor Oak:

"That's my boy.

All right, all you kids clear out of town for at least a month, and don't come back until you've found all 150.... I uh, mean, 151 species of pokemon. And if you do manage to find them all, there's probably more in other places across the ocean, so maybe buy a steam ship ticket or something."


Gary Oak:

"All right! I'm going to leave you in the dust. Hey, you never know, maybe someday you can afford a bicycle or something.

Probably the best you can hope for is running shoes! Hahahaha!!!! Smell you later, dingus!"

Route 22


Our hero decided that the patch of grass just to the west of Viridian City, on the path to Victory road, would be a good stop to pick up some more pokemon before heading to Pewter City. But as soon as they tried to get to the second patch of grass, a familiar face appeared.

Gary Oak:

"Well, well, well. Look who it is, again so soon. What are you doing out here anyway? Don't you realize I'm going to become the Champion of all Pokemon trainers? Not just in Kanto, but in the entire world.

Give it up, kid. I've got the looks, I've got the raw talent, I've got the connections, and I've got the bucks. I also have a bulk discount card at the PokeMart and I even know a guy in Viridian City who can give me access to a pokeball that will capture literally anything. Not to mention my sweet sports car that I can drive even though I'm only 10.

...what, still not convinced? Well color me surprised. I knew you wouldn't learn your lesson from our first battle. And I've been feeding my pokemon a metric ton of rare candies that fell off a truck. You wanna challenge me? Come and get some!"

Charizard

Gary Oak:

"Go, Charizard! Use Fire Blast!!!"

The ever-silent protagonist fumbled with their pokeballs, and threw out one at random, hoping that the creature could tank the hit.

And so, leading the fight against Charizard was....
