Elf: The Crimson Path of Legend

Page 9

"Yes, Brother Chi, when did you arrive?"

Ash was also somewhat surprised by Red's arrival. He looked at Red with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Just arrived!"

Crimson responded faintly.

"Alright, alright, Ash, I can understand, but I didn't expect you to be the last one to arrive, Red. How is it? How is it?"

"Did you catch a lot of Pokémon, or maybe a really rare one?" Professor Oak pressed his cheek against the screen, looking at Red with excitement and anticipation.

Given Red's strength, the fact that he arrived in Viridian City so late must mean he encountered some rare Pokémon on the way, or caught a lot of Pokémon, which caused the delay!

That must be it...

"They didn't arrest him!"

With those faint, crimson words, Professor Oak's illusions were shattered.

"They...they didn't catch you?"

Professor Oak's lips twitched immediately, and he slid down with a look of disappointment, rubbing the sides of his head with a slight headache.

It's understandable that Ash didn't catch a single one, and I didn't place my hopes on him, but Red, surprisingly...

I haven't finished thinking about it yet.

Snapped!

As Red took out the Pokédex and placed it on the screen, Professor Oak's face was instantly pressed against the screen again.

"This is...this is...this is..."

Professor Oak pressed his cheek against the screen, staring intently at the illustrations in the Pokédex, and spoke excitedly, albeit haltingly.

"Little Red, you must know how rare this thing is, right?"

"..."

Crimson nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then brought up the few data screens in the encyclopedia and put them back on the screen.

He then said, "This is all the data we got from the scan. I'll send it to you along with the images later!"

With that, Red plugged the Pokédex into the computer's data port and, after a few simple operations on the computer, transmitted the data and images to Professor Oak.

"Thank you so much, Akane!"

Upon receiving the data and images, Professor Oak was practically ecstatic. He thanked Red profusely and then hurriedly said goodbye.

"Alright, I'm going to do my research now. Red and Ash, contact me if you need anything in the future, especially if you catch any rare Pokémon!"

"That's settled then!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and the computer screen went dark.

"..."

Seeing this, Crimson shook her head slightly and prepared to get up and leave.

"Brother Chi..."

Ash sat in front of the computer, head down, called out to Red, and said slowly, somewhat dejectedly, "Am I not cut out to be a Trainer...?"

"Pikachu, because I got hurt like this..."

"But Pikachu acknowledges you, doesn't it?"

Ash was slightly taken aback by Red's words. He looked up and gazed into Red's crimson eyes.

"Try to learn more about Pokémon. You're still a new trainer, and many things are just beginning!"

Red shook his head slightly inwardly, indicating that this was probably the most he had ever spoken, but he still patiently spoke to Ash:

"Learn more, learn more, and you too can become an excellent trainer!"

"Okay, I will definitely learn more about Pokémon in the future and become an excellent trainer!"

Ash is indeed Ash; after receiving a rare and insightful encouragement from Red, he immediately regained his confidence.

He's back to being that confident, silly guy!

"Brother Chi, thank you so much..."

Ash stood up abruptly, just as he was about to thank Red.

bump!

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

A sound rang out at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, followed by a girl's cry!

"?"

Red and Ash looked at them with suspicion.

"You were here after all!"

Then a girl with an orange ponytail, wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt and blue shorts, walked over carrying a broken and charred piece of iron. She pointed at Ash and shouted angrily.

This girl is none other than Misty, the youngest sister of the Cerulean City Gym and the female protagonist of the first season of the Pokémon anime!

"Huh? What's with that bicycle?"

"You dare say that? Does it even look like a bicycle? It looks like a fish skeleton that's been eaten and burned to a crisp!"

"If it were a fish, it would definitely seek revenge on you!"

"..."

This is where the classic scene from the anime begins, where Ash transforms into a bicycle vandal.

"..."

Seeing this, Crimson shook her head slightly, ignoring the noisy Ash and Misty, and walked towards Nurse Joy, who had already returned to the counter.

"Thank you for your patience. We have restored your Pokémon to its best condition!"

Miss Nurse took the Poké Ball containing Charmander from the healing tray, placed it in front of Crimson, bowed slightly, and uttered a classic line from the game.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy." Red took the Poké Ball containing Charmander and politely thanked Nurse Joy.

Looking forward to seeing you again!

"..."

After placing the Poké Ball on his Pokémon Belt, Crimson strode away from the Pokémon Center.

Having witnessed Ho-Oh's power, Red now has a completely new understanding of the pinnacle of the Pokémon world!

Currently, he only has one Charmander Pokémon, and its strength is only at the peak of beginner level. It's far from being strong enough to stand alone, and it's not presentable yet...

Therefore, we need to work even harder!

"..."

Crimson shook her head slightly and walked towards the entrance of Viridian Forest...

P.S.: I'm asking for your support! Please give me some data, flowers, favorites, comments, recommendations, and donations! Thank you so much!!!

11. Upon entering Viridian Forest, a familiar call comes through: Pikachu?

The next day, early morning!

The entrance to Viridian Forest!

"..."

Crimson emerged from the tent, yawned, stretched, and gazed at the slowly rising sun.

After releasing the little dragon and having some morning exercise, I washed up, ate breakfast, and tidied up.

With her backpack on and Charmander back in, Crimson headed towards the entrance of Viridian Forest.

Viridian Forest is the oldest and most expansive primeval forest in the Kanto region, or rather, in the entire world of Pokémon.

It contains countless powerful wild Pokémon, and many Pokémon families also live there.

Wild Pokémon that are close to Elite Four members are common, Elite Four members who are dominant Pokémon are not rare, and there are also some Champion-level Pokémon.

Even... those beings who have touched the legendary realm of gods may be hidden within it.

Of course, these things only happen frequently inside and deep within the vast forest.

In the outermost and most remote areas, it's not that scary. The levels of wild Pokémon are mostly beginner, average, elite, and even gym veterans.

The novice and ordinary classes are more common, while the elite classes are rare, and senior dojo members are even rarer.

Of course, the closer you get to the inside and the deeper you go, the more experienced the dojo members will be.

Furthermore, major crises are often accompanied by great fortune.

In Viridian Forest, you may encounter top-tier treasures that are hard to find or obtain elsewhere.

Of course, those top treasures are definitely inside and deep inside, or occupied by those elven overlords or those powerful elven leaders.

In short, if you're bold enough and lucky enough, and want to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, then you can come to Viridian Forest and you might become rich overnight.

But...

In most cases, the likely outcome would be the same as those "predecessors" who shared the same ideas: they would go deep into it and never come out again...

...

...

"..."

Red walked through Viridian Forest, heading towards Route 2 leading to Pewter City, training Charmander and battling wild Pokémon along the way.

At this moment, he was in the forest, commanding Charmander to fight against a Rayquaza juvenile, the infamous Caterpie!

Caterpie is a Pokémon that looks like a caterpillar. It has a green back, a white abdomen, red Y-shaped antennae on its head, a yellow spindle-shaped tail, two pairs of abdominal legs with suckers on them, and yellow ring-shaped markings on both sides of its body.
