Wanjie: 100 ways to check in from Pokémon

The failure of the first plan to capture the legendary Pokémon was indeed a big blow to Link.

Fortunately, the capture did fail, but Link did not return empty-handed.

Although he did not know why Ho-Oh recognized him, getting a skill for free was definitely something worth celebrating.

Before it got completely dark, Link rushed to the Pokémon Center in Viridian City overnight.

This was Link's second time in Viridian City. The first time he went from Viridian City to Pallet Town, which took him two days on the road, but this time it took him only half a day to return to Viridian City.

As soon as he entered the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, Link saw Satoshi sitting in front of the emergency room, waiting for Pikachu.

Compared to Satoshi who left Pallet Town with high spirits before, it was only more than half a day, and Satoshi, the energetic boy, was like an eggplant hit by frost, and his whole body was listless.

"Hello, isn't this Xiaozhi?"

"It's the big brother from the research institute, you... are here too!"

Xiaozhi, who was forcing a smile, raised his head and greeted Link. Xiaoxia

, who was already acquainted with Xiaozhi, pushed away the silly Xiaozhi when she saw the mature and handsome Link, appeared in front of Link and said,"Hello, I'm Xiaoxia from Cerulean City. Big brother, do you know Xiaozhi?"

""Xiaoxia? I'm Link, a friend of Professor Oak, and a trainer of half of Pallet Town!"

He reached out and held Xiaoxia's hand. Xiaoxia, who was only 10 years old, had a girl's unique delicate and soft palm, which was not like her tomboyish personality. She was worthy of being a girl who was determined to become a water attribute Pokémon trainer.

"That, Brother Link... I was immature and caused Pikachu to be seriously injured. Am I not qualified to be a trainer?"

Because of what happened during the day, Xiaozhi seemed a little discouraged on his first day of debut, and even wavered in his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master.

"Hey... it's not like you to be so discouraged! To be honest, your experience on your first day as a rookie trainer... was quite fantastic. Compared to an outsider like me, it's most appropriate for Pikachu to evaluate you. You two have become partners, haven't you?"

Patting Xiaozhi's shoulder, Link comforted him a little, then came to the communicator and dialed the conversation between him and Professor Oak in Pallet Town.

"Oh, is that Link? You're not slow, just like Xiaozhi, you reached Viridian City in less than a day. What are your plans for the next trip?"

As soon as the screen was connected, Professor Oak, who was sitting in front of the video phone in the research institute, seemed to have just remembered to eat, holding the cup noodles he had just opened in his hand.

""Doctor... you have to take care of your body when doing research. With your status, it shouldn't be difficult to apply to the Pokémon League for a Chansey egg or a Happy Egg to take care of your daily life, right?"

Link found it hard to imagine that the doctor was living such a miserable life eating instant noodles alone. After all, he was the most important researcher in the league.

"Ha ha……"Dr. Oak scratched his head sheepishly, shook his head and said,"I'm used to it. Besides, there's not enough nurses in Jigglypuff, how can I let them use precious medical resources on me just for my own sake?"

"But... even if we don't use Jigglypuff, it shouldn't be difficult to train a monster that's good at cooking.……"Link had more and more respect for Professor Oak. He was a true researcher, so he quickly changed the subject and said,"By the way, I was just about to tell you about my upcoming travel plans!"

Then Link took out his Pokémon Encyclopedia, opened the album, flipped to the photo of the Ho-Oh, and took a photo of the screen where the professor was.

""Doctor, look at this! This is the picture I took above the Changchun Forest... This should be the legendary rainbow Pokémon, Ho-Oh!" On the other side of the screen, Professor Oak suddenly threw the stool and sat directly on the ground, and the cup noodles on the table poured onto his head.

"Hot, so hot, so hot……"

The steaming cup noodles were poured onto Professor Oak's head, and he kept shouting that it was hot. However, his passion for Pokémon research overcame the pain in his body, and soon Professor Oak, with a new hairstyle of wavy noodles on his head, returned to the screen.

""Link, did you really see the Pokémon in the photo?"

Professor Oak's face came up to the screen, and Link could only see the doctor's eyes.

""Doctor, eyes, eyes!" Link shouted helplessly, trying to calm Professor Oak down again,"Well! I even had a close combat with him, and it turns out... my capture was indeed a bit whimsical, so I want to submit a report on the return of the Phoenix King!"

"Alas, Link, young people should not be so youthful and ambitious. As for these legendary Pokémon, we should keep……"Professor Oak looks like an experienced person and is ready to give Link a lecture.

"Well, Doctor, let's stop here for now... I'll send you the report when it's finished. Goodbye!"
