"Amazing, you healed it so quickly!"
Serena hadn't even spoken when a boy's exclamation suddenly rang in her ears.
Serena turned her head and saw a boy about her age, around six years old, wearing a tank top and holding a bug-catching net, like a bug-catching kid you'd see anywhere on the roadside, who had somehow darted in front of the pink and white Sylveon.

"Big brother, what kind of Pokémon is this?"
The "bug-catching boy" approached the Sylveon, shouting and making a fuss.
The Sylveon took two steps back, looking disgusted.
She felt that if she were touched by this kid, she would be infected by his silly personality.
"This scene..."
Looking at the boy with the bug-catching boy vibe and then at the girl who had fallen under the shade of the tree, Su Sheng vaguely guessed what was happening.
"Her name is Sylveon. By the way, little friend, shouldn't you be concerned about the girl, not the Pokémon?"
Su Sheng pointed towards Serena under the shade of the tree.
"Ah? Didn't the big brother's Pokémon already heal her? She's fine now!"
The boy didn't glance at the girl, who, though young, already showed signs of beauty, and excitedly jumped around like a monkey, saying:
"I just found a Poliwag and chased it up here to catch it. Damn it, where did it run off to..."
An extremely excited Ash didn't pay any attention to the young girl behind him, who was about the same age but already showed signs of being a beauty.
Su Sheng slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance..."
Lihua also showed a look of disgust at the steel-straight man, then reached out and helped Serena up.
"Th-thank you, sister..."
Serena, who was shy, said softly.
"It's nothing."
Lihua's expression remained indifferent. She tended to be cold and unapproachable in front of people other than Su Sheng and Su Sheng.
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself."
Ash at this age had a completely opposite personality to Serena. He wiped his nose and introduced himself:
"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and my goal is to become a Pokémon Master. I saw a Poliwag just now and chased it all the way here. Have you seen it?"
Poliwag?
I fell because I was scared by a Poliwag.
Serena thought with some resentment. She pursed her lips and said in a voice barely louder than a mosquito:
"I, I'm Serena... I, I came from the Kalos region to participate in Professor Oak's summer camp."
"I'm Su Sheng, and this is my partner, Huali. Coincidentally, we're also planning to go to Pallet Town."
Su Sheng looked at the young boy and girl in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
The reason why he wanted to go to Pallet Town was not only because it was the starting point of all Pokémon fans' dreams but also for another important reason.
That was this little brother who had been uncrowned for 20 years.
Finally, in the "Journeys" series, he desperately powered up and finally stepped on champions like Daigo, Sister Baicai, and Dan帝 to reach the top.
But the next part... cut! He was banned.
"Mr. Su Sheng, I've never seen your Sylveon before. Usually, when I watch Professor Oak's lectures, I remember that Eevee only has three evolution forms. I remember it's... um, um..."
Ash, who initially had sparkling eyes, gradually stuttered as he spoke and scratched his head, unable to remember.
There was no way around it. After all, until he challenged the Indigo League, Ash couldn't even remember the type chart completely.
"Water, Fire, Thunder."
Serena whispered, "But they also discovered two new evolution branches: Sun and Moon."
"Oh, right, right!"
Ash slapped his forehead and argued:
"Hehe~ I've been too busy lately to watch the lectures, so I forgot. Sorry about that~"
Serena secretly rolled her eyes.
Professor Oak had already mentioned this on the show two years ago, right?
And "lately"...
"Serena, you should be meeting with Professor Oak, right? We're also going to Pallet Town, so would you mind if we go together?"
Su Sheng invited Serena with a smile.
Serena at this age was not used to interacting with strangers, but she was afraid of encountering what had just happened, so she mustered up her courage and agreed.
"This... then, then I'll be bothering you..."
"Let's speed up to Pallet Town, Huali. Let's go meet with Yishu first."
As Su Sheng spoke, he waved at Ash, "Could you please lead the way? Future Pokémon Master."
Hearing Su Sheng's address to him, Ash's eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly, "No problem!"
Saying that, Ash ran forward like he had hyperthyroidism, "Everyone, follow me!"
"Don't rush. We still have to meet another companion."
Su Sheng reminded him.
"Won't he lead us astray..."
Seeing Ash's loud and reckless appearance like a monkey, Serena muttered softly.
"He might be a disaster as a boyfriend, but as a friend, Ash is the best template."
Su Sheng objectively commented.
Although Ash seemed to have amnesia every time he arrived in a new region, forgetting the Pokémon he had caught in the previous region and the companions he had traveled with.
In addition, some of his straight-man actions were really easy to frustrate women.
But as a companion, he was really great, completely without ulterior motives, saying whatever he thought.
If he had Ash's personality, the Ho-Oh might not have left a few days ago.
That shiny Fearow liked this kind of simple and sweet trainer.
......
......
In the suburban area very close to Pallet Town, Su Sheng and the others finally met Professor Oak.
Seeing Serena and the many elementary school students behind her, Professor Oak patted his heart in lingering fear, "You scared me to death! I found a child missing when I was calling roll and was just about to let my Dragonite and the others go out to find her. I didn't expect you to bring her here, A Sheng."
The free activity time had ended, and he found someone missing when he was calling roll, which scared him half to death.
"I just happened to meet her on the way here. I didn't expect there to be an extra reward."
Su Sheng then pointed to Ash, who was being sociable and greeting the other children participating in the summer camp, "I also met him on Route 1."
"Ash! Didn't Mom tell you not to leave town before you have your own Pokémon?!"
Before Professor Oak could answer, a young woman, around 25 years old, who, while not particularly beautiful, had an extremely virtuous and motherly aura, suddenly rushed over, grabbed Ash's ear, and scolded him.
"Ouch! Ouch, ouch, Mom, I won't do it again, have mercy! Have mercy!"
Seeing Ash's face being pulled long and his cowardly appearance, the children standing with Serena all showed gloating smiles.
Su Sheng watched the young mother with great interest.
Although she didn't appear often, this Aunt Huazi had quite a few memes.
"Oh, our future Pokémon Master is out catching Pokémon again? May I ask, what did you catch?"
A boy with spiky brown hair and a sarcastic tone came up to him.
"Damn it, Xiao Mao!"
Ash was furious.
"Your luck is as good as ever. You didn't die at the hands of Arbok or Beedrill,"
Xiao Mao mocked:
"It's common sense for every trainer not to leave the city without their own Pokémon."
"I'm ashamed to be your rival when you don't even understand this."
Ash was already furious because he couldn't catch a Rattata, and now he was mocked by Xiao Mao.
He immediately turned into a powder keg and exploded.
"What did you say?!"
Ash once again used the hungry tiger pounce he had used on Rattata once, knocking Xiao Mao to the ground, and the two of them started fighting in the street.
Aunt Huazi: "Ash, stop it!"
Professor Oak: "Stop it, Xiao Mao!"
These two rivals had been fighting since they had just learned to speak.
Professor Oak and Aunt Huazi, as elders, were basically used to it.
But there were so many people here now, couldn't they be more careful?
At this time, two more boys came running over, forcibly separating Ash and Xiao Mao, who were fighting.
Compared to their mother and grandfather, Ash and Xiao Mao seemed to be more in awe of these two.
Ash: "Uh... Brother Chi Hong."
Xiao Mao: "Qing, Brother Qinglv, it, it was idiot Ash who started it first."
Chi Hong, who had a mute attribute, remained silent, just shaking his head to signal Ash to stop.
Qinglv, on the other hand, gave his stinky brother a chestnut on the head, "Don't embarrass yourself here!"
The two completely opposite attitudes perfectly showed the personality differences between the two brothers.
Okay, the four brothers of Zhenxin Town, right?
"A Sheng, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Zhenxin Town? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Professor Oak refocused his attention on Su Sheng.
"It's nothing special. I just saw on the news that new trainers were encountering accidents in the wild, and I thought it would be good to get the Pokédex out sooner, so I came over."
Su Sheng had already thought of a legitimate reason.
The main reason was that he suddenly remembered that Changpan City and Zhenxin Town were connected by Route 1, and he had promised Ho-Oh to "help humans and Pokémon live in harmony."
So he simply came over and worked with Professor Oak to get the Pokédex out earlier.
"Oh! A Sheng, you have a heart."
Professor Oak excitedly grabbed Su Sheng's hand, "Thank you, thank you! This will definitely bring about a change to the alliance, oh no, to the entire Elf Continent!"
"Professor Oak, you flatter me. I'm just proposing an idea. The follow-up work still depends on you."
Su Sheng smiled.
This thing was originally invented by Professor Oak.
If he hadn't promised Ho-Oh and needed to use him for something recently, Su Sheng wouldn't have bothered to steal Professor Oak's patent.
"Haha, it's not good to be too modest. It's not a bad thing for young people to have some personality."
Professor Oak grinned and laughed.
"Who is this guy? Why is Grandpa trying to please him so much?"
Seeing his most admired grandpa with an admiring, even flattering, expression, Xiao Mao was a little unconvinced.
"He invented the TM."
Chi Hong rarely said a word.
Unlike his brother, who couldn't even remember the type chart, Chi Hong hadn't obtained his initial Pokémon yet.
But he had been tirelessly learning about combat-related knowledge since he was very young.
Xiao Mao's face changed drastically.
Anyone who wanted to be a trainer had to know about TMs.
That was a magical artifact that could allow their Pokémon to instantly learn high-power moves!
"So what? Grandpa is much greater."
Xiao Mao stubbornly retorted.
Su Sheng didn't care about Xiao Mao's words.
As a Pokémon fan in his previous life, he knew Xiao Mao's personality very well, with "This young master" always on his lips.
Before experiencing the disastrous defeat at the Stone League Conference, being educated by an unknown NPC, and being eliminated a round earlier than Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Mao's personality was indeed very annoying.
"Xiao Mao, you must be respectful to Dr. Su Sheng!"
However, Professor Oak, who had always shown a kind image in front of his grandson, now showed an extremely serious expression, with even a hint of anger in his eyes, scaring Qinglv and Xiao Mao, no, even Xiao Zhi and Chi Hong.
Professor Oak solemnly said:
"The Pokédex invented by A Sheng will play a pivotal role in your travels and adventures, and may even save your lives. How can you talk to him like that?!"
This time, Professor Oak was truly angry.
As the inventor of the Pokédex in the original timeline, he knew very well the importance of the Pokédex, which could really save lives.
Once this invention was completed, it would save the lives of countless new trainers.
In Professor Oak's view, the importance of the Pokédex was even greater than that of TMs.
Because this would be a great invention that could save trainers from fire and water.
And Xiao Mao actually spoke rudely to the great scientist who created such a great invention.
If his son and daughter-in-law hadn't left early and his grandsons had been lacking love since childhood, Professor Oak would have wanted to take out his belt and whip them on the spot.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, um, I..."
Xiao Mao was also frightened. Was it, was it that serious? He just casually said something, right?
Qinglv was also a little confused, wondering if Grandpa was overreacting?
"Forget it, Professor Oak, let's talk about business first."
Su Sheng didn't care.
"Even if Dr. Su Sheng doesn't care, I have to teach this kid a lesson."
Professor Oak's address to Su Sheng had unconsciously become an honorific.
Although the other party was almost his grandson's generation, his contribution to Pokémon and the people of this world was far above his own, worthy of such an honorific.
"You're not allowed to eat today. You're punished to stand at the door all night."
After reprimanding Xiao Mao, Professor Oak made a "please" gesture to Su Sheng, "Come, Dr. Su Sheng, let's go to the research institute and talk slowly. Oh, right, Huazi, please take care of these children participating in the summer camp."
Under the leadership of Professor Oak, Su Sheng went to the Oak Research Institute located at the foot of the mountain behind Zhenxin Town.
"Brother Qinglv, is Grandpa overreacting?"
Xiao Mao complained to his elder brother. He usually criticized Xiao Zhi quite harshly, but he hadn't seen Grandpa say anything.
Qinglv pinched his chin, "It can only be said that our grandpa really values him. After all, the TM alone has already benefited countless trainers."
As a genius who would be called the "breeder" by Professor Oak in the future, Qinglv knew Su Sheng's power better than his younger brother.
......
......
In the evening, Professor Oak personally hosted Su Sheng and his group of three for dinner at his home.
As they entered, a girl of similar age to Su Sheng and with an elegant demeanor greeted them warmly:
"You must be Dr. Su Sheng, and Miss Lihua and Mr. Yishu, welcome! Dinner is ready."
Oak Nanami.
The eldest daughter of the Oak family, and the older sister of Qinglu and Xiaozhi (Ash Ketchum).
Many Pokémon fans may not know her.
After all, compared to her two younger brothers, her presence is indeed lower.
But even without her second brother Qinglu's (Gary Oak) monstrous talent, her strength as a Pokémon trainer is still remarkable.
In the original story, she even won the Pokémon Grand Festival championship.
"Thank you."
Su Sheng nodded in acknowledgment.
The Oak family has good genes, and Nanami is clearly a beautiful girl in the making.
"Hurry and eat, Qinglu and Xiaomao (Blue/Gary) remember to wash your hands."
Nanami greeted them gently, while reminding her two younger brothers.
"Xiaomao won't be eating tonight, he's standing outside."
Professor Oak had clearly not forgotten Xiaomao's punishment.
Nanami subconsciously wanted to plead for her third brother, but seeing such a serious expression on her grandfather's face, and guessing that Xiaomao must have done something terrible, she didn't say anything more.
Xiaomao stood outside the window, looking aggrieved.
Lihua went into the kitchen to help Nanami serve the dishes.
Yishu and Qinglu turned on the television.
Professor Oak sat opposite Su Sheng at the dining table and said:
"Actually, to be honest with you, A Sheng, when I was young, I suffered from insufficient information. At the time, I was traveling in the Johto region and encountered Sneasel, the pre-evolution form of Weavile. At the time, I thought this Pokémon looked like a little cat, and wasn't very big, so it should be gentle. I thought about going up to pet it, but it directly used 'Slash' on me, tearing my clothes."
"From then on, I recorded the appearance, habits, and signature moves of the Pokémon I encountered, wanting to compile them into a book to publish, so that those curious new trainers wouldn't make the same mistakes I did. I didn't expect you, this genius, to appear out of nowhere and solve my years of troubles."
Hearing Professor Oak say this, Su Sheng also remembered.
In the original movie, "Celebi: A Timeless Encounter", the young Professor Oak was indeed sketching.
It turns out that he already had the idea of developing a Pokédex from that time.
"You are truly great, Professor."
Su Sheng expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart.
The reason he chose to become a scientist in his previous life was because Su Sheng realized that he really didn't have any martial arts talent.
But he also wanted to hold Hancock in his left hand, Shirahoshi in his right, and have Yamato kneeling in the middle, becoming the best of the best.
So Su Sheng took a different approach, choosing to become a disciple of Dr. Vegapunk and embarking on the path of science.
In the end, Su Sheng's actions were nothing more than for his own selfish desires.
Su Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
But that doesn't stop him from admiring Professor Oak's dedication to the public good.
Other trainers are thinking about how to make their Pokémon stronger and win championships.
But he is already considering how to pave the way for future trainers.
"You're exaggerating, I just had this idea, but you are the one who truly completed it."
Professor Oak said with a smile:
"Tomorrow I'll take you to my laboratory, where I keep the ecological data of Pokémon in the Kanto and Johto regions that I've researched for decades. Once you complete the Pokédex, A Sheng, we can record the data in it as soon as possible."
Just then, the news anchor's broadcast came from the television:
"Three days ago, the massive destruction that occurred in Viridian City, after the Viridian Gym Leader Mr. Sakaki (Giovanni) and many citizens testified, it has been confirmed that this was a tragic event caused by a battle between four legendary Pokémon and a mysterious criminal, the Masked Man. The League has now designated the Masked Man as an SSS-class criminal.
According to the certification of Professor Elm, a Pokémon research scholar in the Johto region, three of the legendary Pokémon are the Suicune, Raikou, and Entei, known as the Three Legendary Beasts of the Johto region. The remaining large bird-shaped Pokémon seems to be called 'Ho-Oh' by the Masked Man, and is suspected to be in a superior-subordinate relationship with the Three Legendary Beasts. This legendary Pokémon named 'Ho-Oh' returned to Viridian City after the incident and helped to heal hundreds of Viridian citizens involved in the battle. It can be confirmed that this is a friendly legend.
Next news, the notorious Team Rocket executive Joker and his two subordinates, Masked Woman and Psychic Fatty, are suspected to have appeared in Kanto. The specific situation still needs further investigation. Please be vigilant in Kanto and Johto. If you find any relevant clues, please call Officer Jenny's number…"
