Chapter 8: Charmander, I Choose You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Yu looked at the three Pokémon in front of him, but he was thinking about their strengths and weaknesses.

Squirtle: Water-element Pokémon. It would evolve into Wartortle, and the ultimate evolution form was Blastoise.

Bulbasaur: Grass-type Pokémon. It would evolve into Ivysaur, and the ultimate evolution form was Venusaur.

Charmander: Fire Pokémon. It would evolve into Charmeleon, and the ultimate evolution form was Charizard.

The three Pokémon attributes countered each other. In the early stages, the attribute suppression might cause double damage to the restrained Pokémon. However, it was unknown who would win after training.

All three Pokémon could become very powerful existences. In fact, Wang Yu already knew how to choose. However, it was still very difficult to make a decision. After all, they were all very powerful. After thinking about it, he decided to choose the Charmander.

In fact, it was still influenced by the cartoon. From the initial unsealed chapters to the later versions of Pokémon, aside from Pikachu which had been very active from the beginning, there was also Charizard.

Charizard could be seen in every version. From the weak little Charmander, it slowly became stronger after the battle.

He had fought Entei and defeated Articuno. Although it could not compare to Pikachu who had defeated the God of Creation, Arceus, it was still very powerful. Most importantly, have you seen Master Chi’s Charizard? It was an existence that had defeated Mewtwo.

After Mega evolved, the Charizard defeated Mewtwo with its strength and helped Master Chi subdue it. Wang Yu expressed that he wanted such a powerful Charizard too. (The author also expressed that he wanted it!)

As for Venusaur and Blastoise, to be honest, Wang Yu expressed that he had low confidence in their later stages. Therefore, he compared them and chose the Charmander according to his heart.

After thinking about this, Wang Yu reached out to the Charmander, grabbed the Pokéball, and activated it.

“Charmander, I choose you!”

With a flash of light, Charmander appeared.

“Oh!”

“Charmander! From now on, we’re partners. Together, we’ll embark on the path to becoming Pokémon’s training masters. Let’s work hard together!”

“Oh, oh…!” Charmander seemed to be very happy.

“Let’s go, Charmander!”

“Oh!”

“Thank you, Dr. Oki! We’re ready to go on a trip.”

“This is the Pokémon food prepared! Take it with you.” Dr. Oki took out a pocket and handed it to Wang Yu.

“Thank you so much, Dr. Oki! I was just thinking about what Pokémon would eat.”

“It’s nothing. Let’s go. Oh, I almost forgot about this.” Dr. Oki took out something from the table behind him and handed it to Wang Yu.

“This is a Pokédex. You can collect Pokémons’ information with it. There’s also map information and location inside. It can also send out high-energy warnings. If you encounter danger, the Pokédex will send out an alarm. Bind it quickly. After you bind it, you can record your personal information. You can also video call people.”

“…!?” Wang Yu looked at the Pokédex in his hand and was a little speechless. The Instance Dungeon System had modified this thing. Many functions were integrated into one, making it much more convenient. Wang Yu then tried the Pokédex’s functions. He took out the Pokédex and shone it at the little Charmander. The information about the little Charmander began to be introduced in the Pokédex.

“Charmander, the fire Pokémon is currently level 5. It has the skills Flame and Double-edge.”

“I can actually see the Pokémon’s level!” Wang Yu said in surprise.

“Of course, this is the latest version. The old version was eliminated last month. This is an upgrade I made on the basis of the original Pokédex. Its functions are stronger and more diverse,” Dr. Oki said proudly.

“Professor Oki, you’re amazing!” Wang Yu praised Professor Oki.

“Ah! Haha… It’s just so-so. You have to work hard and collect more Pokémon. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you. Each person can only carry six Pokémon at most. If one has more Pokémon than that, they will be sent to me. I’ll help you take care of them. Don’t worry.”

“Then let’s set off, Charmander!”

“Oh!”

Dr. Oki looked at the two faint figures walking away.

“Young man, work hard to become a master Pokémon trainer!”
