Bai Yu stared at the panel before him.
In that instant, he quickly selected a region:
Hoenn!
A region with two Champion Trainers.
Among many cities, it was also one of the few with high popularity.
Most importantly, the Pokémon Bai Yu wanted all came from the Hoenn region.
Pelipper, Torkoal, and other Pokémon all came from the Hoenn region.
A region with unique advantages, it could be considered…
"Please select the Pokémon to bring~"
Just after Bai Yu selected the region to go to, another message appeared on the panel.
All the Pokémon Bai Yu currently possessed appeared on the screen.
Seed Ball lv: 24, Houndoom lv: 30, Magneton lv: 20, and the rest of the Pokémon were all around level 10 or so, with only Geodude reaching level 15.
As for the other Pokémon Bai Yu had, it was best not to mention them.
"From now on, I only need these three as the foundation for my main force."
"There is no need to bring the rest of the Pokémon."
Bai Yu quickly made up his mind and abandoned the original owner's previous Pokémon.
He selected only three Pokémon and immersed himself in the game.
Bai Yu felt the scene before him change, and his figure appeared in a forest.
"The only forest in the Hoenn region is Petalburg Woods, right?"
"The Gym Leaders in Petalburg City are considered quite strong among Gym Leaders."
According to the in-game strength rankings, Bai Yu currently doesn't qualify to challenge the Petalburg Gym.
The difference in strength between them is completely incomparable.
His main focus during this period is improving the strength of his Pokémon
and finding the Pokémon he needs.
"The first gym is also near Petalburg Woods."
"The place where I fell isn't bad."
Bai Yu didn't think much of it, took out his Pokédex, and after confirming his approximate location,
headed towards Rustboro City.
"Judging from your appearance, you must be a Trainer!"
"Let's have a close match!"
Just as Bai Yu took his first step, a boy rushed out of the grass.
He was clearly dressed as a bug catcher, and his eyes showed a hint of fighting spirit! "Bug catcher~"
"If you hadn't come out, I would have forgotten that this is a game."
Bai Yu didn't refuse and took out his Poké Ball.
He found a relatively wide area and threw the Poké Ball.
A white light flashed, and Bai Yu could clearly see the level of his Pokémon.
Level 25!
"It's your turn, Wurmple!"
The bug catcher was surprised to see the unfamiliar Pokémon in front of him.
However, he didn't think much of it and threw his Poké Ball directly.
Wurmple, one of the house bugs of the Hoenn region, appeared in front of Bai Yu.
A level 4 towering above its head.
"Seed Ball, use Iron Head!"
In the game, a single level difference can drastically alter a player's strength.
Let alone a difference of twenty-one levels.
"Spiky Tail Bug, use Silk Shot!"
The insect-catching boy shouted fearlessly.
Seed Ball charged forward, completely ignoring the silk's obstruction.
A single Iron Head slam sent the Spiky Tail Bug flying.
Dizzy, it instantly lost its ability to fight.
"What a powerful Pokémon, I lost."
The Bug Catcher said dejectedly, taking out his Poké Ball and recalling his Wurmple.
Bai Yu looked at the Bug Catcher, and a voice echoed in his mind.
"Seed Ball experience points +15.
" "Just like in the game, you gain experience in battles, which makes leveling up much easier."
Bai Yu nodded silently. The experience needed to level up a Seed Ball wasn't much.
Even without encountering wild trainers or wild Pokémon,
a day's experience gain was far greater than what he gained from battles at the Pokémon Center.
"Big brother, you're so strong! With your strength, you could definitely defeat the Petalburg Gym!" The Bug Catcher,
though somewhat dejected, still had great confidence in Bai Yu's abilities.
He walked up to Bai Yu, excitedly saying this. "
Hmm?"
Bai Yu looked at the Bug Catcher.
In the game, could the Bug Catcher proactively approach and talk to him? Bai Yu was somewhat surprised. The Bug Catcher's demeanor, speech, and manner of conversation were somewhat similar to those in the game, but the fact that he proactively approached was different.
"Is it in the direction of Petalburg City?"
Bai Yu pointed to the location he had just seen on the Pokédex, confirming with the Bug Catching Boy in front of him.
"Yes, big brother."
"However, I still suggest you catch a Fighting-type Pokémon."
"Fighting-type Pokémon have a natural advantage against the Petalburg Gym."
"Big brother, you can head in that direction; there are Fighting-type Pokémon there."
The Bug Catching Boy pointed to the forest not far away, a hint of longing in his eyes.
It seemed he himself also wanted to catch a Fighting-type Pokémon.
Unfortunately, his Wurmple was too weak.
He simply couldn't beat that Pokémon.
"Fighting-type Pokémon?!"
Bai Yu didn't have a deep impression of Fighting-type Pokémon.
The only relatively good Fighting-type Pokémon, besides Lucario from Aura Kingdom, Urshifu, and Blaziken, one of the Hoenn starter Pokémon, were few that he could use.
Apart from that, the only Fighting-type Pokémon he could use were the pseudo-legendary and legendary Pokémon.
"Let's go take a look. If we can defeat a wild Pokémon, it'll boost Seed Ball's strength."
Without much thought, Bai Yu walked in the direction the Bug Catcher pointed.
The Bug Catcher stood there, watching Bai Yu's figure, lost in thought.
"I must become the strongest Bug-type Trainer in the Hoenn region,"
the Bug Catcher muttered to himself, taking his Poké Ball and heading towards the Pokémon Center.
He only had one Wurmple; without it, he couldn't continue battling.
"A game~"
"It doesn't seem like a game at all, more like reality."
"But~ the last thing the other said sounded like it was spoken by an AI."
Bai Yu was also a little confused about whether the scene before him was real or virtual.
However, even if it was reality, as long as it could boost his Pokémon's strength,
these things didn't matter.
"Let's go take a look. If we can beat Rustboro City, Seed Ball can also reach level 30."
"It'll be evolving into Ferrothorn soon."
Bai Yu was particularly looking forward to Ferrothorn.
High defense and special defense, combined with moves like Gyro Ball.
As long as no particularly strong opponents emerge, we can remain invincible.
