Rumor has it that there is a Red Gyarados in the Lake of Rage. It is said that Team Rocket's experiments forced it to evolve, while another theory suggests that the Red Gyarados evolved out of rage due to humans extensively hunting defenseless Magikarp. The red color of its body is an abnormality caused by its rage devouring humans.
This Red Gyarados is truly the king among Gyarados; every time they appear, they inevitably bring disaster. They will destroy everything they see until the anger within their bodies is completely depleted. But how strong was the bond that allowed this Red Gyarados to control its anger and protect this young man in front of it? This is simply unbelievable, like asking a serial killer to turn over a new leaf and become a waiter.
"Ding, obtained Red Gyarados, rewarded 110,000 points."
"Hmm? What? Obtained Red Gyarados?" Alex Carter was wondering why the strong storm should have hit him by now, yet there was no movement. Then he heard the system's prompt and asked in surprise.
When he turned around, he saw a powerful body coiled around him, protecting him, while a Tentacruel also stood in front, raising a barrier.
At this moment, the Gyarados suddenly lowered its head and gently nuzzled Alex, its large eyes becoming unusually docile. The Tentacruel's tentacles also lightly touched Alex's hand.
"This is? A Gyarados? And it's red?"
Alex was also stunned. He remembered that in the anime of his previous life, this Red Gyarados belonged to the Kanto Region Champion Lance, and Lance only caught it after battling it with his Dragonite and winning. His own, however, evolved on its own from a Magikarp.
"Mandibuzz, Dark Pulse! Fearow, Air Slash!" The man jumped to the ground and began to get serious. He wanted to strike first and end the battle quickly while Alex's Pokémon had just evolved.
"Tentacruel, Light Screen, then only Bubble Beam. Gyarados, counter with Dragon Rage," Alex commanded weakly.
"Damn it, no, if this continues, I'll probably be the first to collapse. I've already expended too much stamina before, I need to finish this quickly," Alex pondered to himself.
"Tentacruel, Gyarados, Double Hyper Beam!" Alex suddenly shouted.
"Not good!" The person heard Alex tell them to use Hyper Beam and quickly mounted Mandibuzz, preparing to escape.
"It won't be that easy to get away," Alex snorted coldly, "Full power attack!"
With two loud booms, two massive energy beams directly struck the person escaping in the air. He didn't even have time to scream before being engulfed by the two powerful Hyper Beams.
At this moment, Alex finally laughed aloud. "Well done, Gyarados, Tentacruel," Alex said, smiling and patting them in encouragement. "However, it seems that Magikarp Uncle also has some issues. And the secrets hidden by these people, why did they attack me? It's a pity I didn't get a chance to have Haunter hypnotize them."
Afterward, Alex leaned on the Gyarados, recalled Haunter and Tentacruel, then patted the Gyarados, signaling it to take him away. After this battle, Alex had already run out of stamina; it was a miracle he had held on until now.
Then, the Gyarados carried Alex, swimming along the river.
Later, a figure suddenly flashed out from deep within the jungle. After looking at the surroundings, he suddenly took out a communication device and contacted someone.
"Hmm? You actually contacted me on your own, what important matter do you have to say?" An impatient male voice came from the device.
"All four people we sent out were eliminated by him. However, those people did not disappoint you. Before they died, they released the Magikarp device. Now that Magikarp is in his hands and has evolved into a Red Gyarados."
The words spoken by this person were actually a cold electronic voice, completely at odds with his appearance. It was the voice of the system that had always accompanied Alex.
"Oh? That's surprising. This kid is quite impressive," the voice on the other end of the device said with a chuckle.
"What should we do next?"
"No rush. He is, after all, Old Man Ethan Carter's son. Being too aggressive might make him suspicious. Let him follow Ash of this world for now, help Ash grow into an impressive Trainer, and have everyone in the organization pay attention. He has certainly made a name for himself in this battle, hehe."
"Ash will help us solve a lot of problems. If the plan fails, he can also be used to restrain that kid."
"Yes, I understand." With that, a gust of wind blew, lifting the person's clothes and revealing a rainbow-colored 'R' underneath.
If Alex were there, he would be astonished, because this person was none other than the Magikarp Uncle who sold him the mutated Magikarp...
"Hiss, that hurts."
Alex rubbed his head and opened his eyes. When he saw the dazzling sunlight, he instinctively reached out to block it. Then he felt pain all over his body, as if it had fallen apart. The pain made Alex grimace, and he couldn't help but want to curse. He hadn't felt so seriously injured before; his body was just too weak.
"You're awake?" A clear voice rang out.
Alex slightly raised his head and saw Officer Jenny, dressed in a police uniform, standing at the doorway, looking at him with a smile.
"Officer Jenny?"
A hint of panic flashed in Alex's heart, and he wanted to avoid her. After all, his identity was special, and she had suspected him before. How could it be good to encounter such a person?
"That's right, it's me. You're a lucky child to have escaped from Team Rocket, and it's all thanks to your Pokémon."
When Jenny was following up on public reports, tracking the possible whereabouts of Team Rocket, she passed by the small stream outside Golden City and saw a Gyarados emerge from it, which startled her greatly. However, after seeing Alex on the Gyarados's back, she understood the seriousness of the situation.
Alex was already unconscious at the time, and his wounds had turned somewhat white after being soaked in the water. Jenny quickly sent Alex to Nurse Joy for treatment. Afterward, led by the Gyarados, she found the unconscious Team Rocket members.
Officer Jenny continued, looking at Alex: "Young man, you are truly amazing, defeating members of Team Rocket by yourself. We mistakenly thought you were with them before, and we are truly sorry."
"Professor Oak has also heard of your deeds, and he is now on his way to visit you. Speaking of which, you and Professor Oak should be very familiar with each other. That Pokédex of yours was given to your father by Professor Oak."
Alex chuckled awkwardly at this, but in his heart, he thought: "Please, big sister, I'm also a member of Team Rocket, you praising me like this makes me very embarrassed. And that Pokédex, I don't need it at all, I have a cheat-like system, hehe."
