"Little Red's vision was completely black!"

The three Pokémon completely disregarded the rules of trainer battles, swarmed in, and began a brutal gang fight.

Water guns, wind, and poison needles rained down on the mosquito coil frog.

"No! You—"

Chi Hong was so angry that she became incoherent, pointing at the screen and accusing him.

Xiao Huang looked at him with concern, her voice soft.

"Little Red... calm down..."

"Serves you right."

Qinglu couldn't hold back any longer, trying hard to suppress her laughter while casually adding insult to injury.

"Will you fill out this again next time...? It's very simple?"

In the video, the lone mosquito coil frog, under the suppression of its hierarchy and the encirclement, symbolically puts up a few resistances before finally collapsing unwillingly.

"Red has no Pokémon left to battle."

"Little Red was defeated and lost 3600 RMB..."

"..."

"Little Red's vision went completely black!"

Red rushed to a Pokémon Center to prevent his exhausted Pokémon from suffering further damage...

The scene shifts, and Red appears in the bright lobby of the Pokémon Center in Viridian City.

Accompanied by the unique and soothing music that plays when a Pokémon recovers, Nurse Joy, with a professional and sweet smile, returns the Poké Ball.

"Nurse Joy: Your Pokémon is fully healed now. Welcome back next time!"

"Three thousand six hundred! A whole three thousand six hundred dollars! Little Chi! You owe me my hard-earned money!"

Before Crimson could process his frustration, Little Blue had already launched into a tirade. He opened his mouth, but faced with his sugar daddy's wrath, he was too embarrassed to refute and could only blush and make a promise.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely win the money back! I'll win it back double!"

He hadn't experienced that feeling of being crushed by superior level, outnumbered, and physically kicked in the butt for a long time.

After reluctantly replenishing his healing items at the shop, Akane resolutely stepped into Viridian Forest.

He wasn't in a rush to get to the next city; he wanted to level up and take back everything he had lost!

Just as I stepped into the edge of the forest, a boy holding an insect net suddenly darted out from the dense grass beside me, a carefree, even a little silly smile on his face.

A striking exclamation mark instantly appeared above his head.

"Bug Catcher: Since we've hit it off, let's have a Pokémon battle!"

"Hmm? Trainer Challenge?"

Crimson was furious, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Then don't blame me for being impolite! Go, Charmander!"

"Awoo!"

The little dragon leaped out with high spirits and faced off against the armored pupa sent by the insect-catching boy.

Crimson immediately unleashed its full firepower.

"Sparks! Continuous sparks!"

As the command was given, the movement of Xiao Chi became smoother.

The insect-catching boy had never seen anything like this before.

As an experience booster for newbies, his level 7 Metapod only knew one move: Harden...

The scene was once so horrific that it was almost unbearable to witness.

"The little dragon has gained 80 experience points!"

"Charmander's level has increased to 16!"

Red: Hmm? Looks like a little fire dragon!

Suddenly, a dazzling white light covered the little fire dragon's body.

In the white light, its body rapidly lengthened and grew taller, its limbs became stronger, and flames burned fiercely on its tail, undergoing a dramatic change in form.

"The little Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon!"

"Little Red has defeated the bug-catching boy!"

"Xiao Chi received 300 yuan as a reward from the insect-catching boy."

"It's evolved! Charmeleon!"

Red looked at the Charizard on the screen, its head held high and full of energy, and its joy was palpable, all the frustration from before vanishing.

Xiao Lan's focus was completely different; her eyes instantly turned into the shape of a dollar sign.

"We beat him up and even got to steal money? Quick! Let's beat him up again! See if he's hiding any other good stuff!"

"This...this isn't really appropriate, is it?"

Looking at the insect-catching boy lying on the ground with a resentful expression on his face on the screen, Xiao Huang felt a little sorry for him.

"Challengers must be prepared to lose at any time."

Qinglu crossed her arms and said coldly:

"It is only natural for challengers to pay the price for their defeat, just like in real life. Not everyone will waste their precious time to accept your challenge request. This is a reasonable game mechanism."

"Go! Go! Look over there! There are several more lurking in the bushes! Go and rob them of all their money! That way I'll forgive you for your mistake for now!"

Little Blue excitedly directed Crimson.

"And another one! There's a glimmer of light inside the hollow of that big tree on the left! Don't miss it!"

"Okay!"

Having just won a resounding victory, Charmander has evolved, and Red has rallied its forces. With its morale soaring, Red, now in control of Red, launches a fierce sweep through Viridian Forest.

The harvest was truly plentiful!

Not only did they train their Pokémon and collect many items, they also found a precious TM item—Fire Spin—under a hidden tree root.

Red didn't hesitate to give Charizard the gift.

However, learning a move is not as simple as just clicking and using it.

The system prompts that the player needs to train moves, which means that the player must use the wilderness camping set and have Red personally accompany and guide Charmeleon in training after setting up camp.

The campfire was lit, and the tents were set up.

Watching the lazy, dozing mosquito coil frog and the Charmander huddled around the campfire, diligently practicing new moves against an imaginary target, a warm smile unconsciously appeared on his crimson face.

He said softly:

"This feeling... reminds me of when we traveled together."

"Hmm... the immersion is indeed very well done."

Qinglu nodded in agreement, a rare occurrence, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

After successfully accompanying Charmeleon through its Flame Vortex training, they didn't linger and continued exploring deeper into the forest.

The deeper you go, the dimmer the light becomes, and the more tranquil the atmosphere grows.

Suddenly, a muffled rumbling sound came from underground, followed by a violent ground tremor.

"Waaah—"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The surrounding small Pokémon, such as Caterpie and Pidgey, scattered and fled like startled birds, screaming.

"What's going on?"

Crimson, alert, immediately drew a conclusion.

"A powerful Pokémon is active nearby!"

Without a second thought, he manipulated Little Red to lie in wait and cautiously approach the center of the tremor.

Finally, after parting a patch of grass, he finally saw the culprit.

"Kangaroo Lv.46"

"Characteristic: Spiritual Power (By relying on the mind, one will not flinch in the face of an opponent's attacks)"

A brown behemoth, over two meters tall, with bulging muscles and bloodshot eyes, was wildly waving its claws, indiscriminately attacking everything around it.

It doesn't seem to have a clear goal; it's more like it's desperately trying to protect something, while being driven by immense pain and chaos to destroy its surroundings.

The towering ancient tree was snapped in half, and the ground was torn into deep ravines. The force of the claws alone caused the corner of Little Red Robe to flutter in the distance.

"Something's not right with the Kangaskhan."

Qinglu frowned, calmly analyzing the current situation.

"It's Outrage. This Kangaskhan is confused. It's a high-level Pokémon, not one we can handle right now. My suggestion is to leave first."

Red nodded and controlled Little Red to prepare to quietly retreat from the side.

But just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a small, thin figure lying among the broken branches and fallen leaves out of the corner of his eye!
