69 Chapter 69

A few days on the road quickly passed after meeting Gary. Despite what the games would have you believing, Vermillion City really was not anywhere close to Cerulean City.

I would have been quicker heading to Saffron City or Lavender Town. But Lavender Town did not have a gym as far as I know, and fuck going to Saffron City.

Sure, it apparently has two gyms according to what little I can find, a fighting type gym and a psychic type gym. But, the second one was the real problem.

And fuck going anywhere near that place until I either have an army of dark types, or Ash fucks up Sabrina.

The few days that have passed since meeting mister smell you later though, have been interesting.

Because for some reason, the guy keeps texting me.

I paused mid-sip of my lovely vanilla protein shake, now that I'm a millionaire, I can eat whatever the fuck I want after all.

The reason why I paused mid-sip, being the alert sound my phone gave off to signify a text.

Or rather, the short, sweet and crisp catchy tune I'd long replaced my alert sound with.

'You were thinkin' I died, bitch, surprise! I still got them double thick thighs-'

Since it was just a text and not a call, it only went through basically the first verse unlike my ring tone, but hey, still ear catching.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone and opened up my texts. It was a picture of Gary, a fishing rod in hand with an unconscious Seadra dangling from the line.

-Just Caught A Seadra!- The caption on top read.

Then a split moment later, my phone vibrated as another message came through. Another picture.

-Now It's A Kingdra! Pay2Win Bitch!-

I rolled my eyes and snorted at the second picture. It was of Gary standing beside a pokemon floating in the air beside him, like Seadra it was a blue sea horse like pokemon, but this one was much larger, and in one hand, Gary held a up a bunch of TM discs between his teen fingers, as if they were weapons, hell his arms were crossed up over his chest pointing into the air, the fucker was outright dabbing at me in the picture.

He must have caught the Seadra a little while ago, loaded it up with TM's and then evolved it using a Dragon Scale, then probably loaded it up with some more.

Evolution in a lot of ways multiplied the original strength of the pokemon that evolved, so some quick boosts from TM's before evolving it would have been the smart play and what I would have done.

Huffing, I quickly replied, 'A whole lot of bragging for a guy who skipped going to Vermillion City after I whooped his ass to go for an easier gym, bet you don't have the stones to go after Sabrina.'

It was Gary who had informed me about the fighting gym in Saffron City being an actual thing and that there were a whole lot of gyms in Kanto beyond the main eight, it was only that the main eight were generally the stronger ones.

Sans Pewter City for the most part. Brock apparently had potential, but he had the responsibility foisted on him too quick and hadn't grown into himself yet, his father was the original gym leader.

And from what I did actually find of Flint on on the league website, I was actually really lucky to catch Brock instead of him. A shit head failure of a father or not, his known pokemon when he was the active gym leader was stacked.

Golem, Rhydon, Onix, Magcargo, Lunatone, Barbaracle.

And that was his old team, his profile hadn't been updated since he returned to taking over for Brock. So who knows what shit he has now, he probably has a Rhyperior at least.

But yeah, apparently, my kicking Gary's ass was enough for him to decide to not go to Vermillion and take on Surge and instead go after the weaker fighting type gym in Saffron.

He wanted to get stronger before taking on the main gyms. Which is funny, because you won't see anyone with a Kingdra playing through the games deciding they need to wait before taking on gyms.

My phone vibrated again as Gary replied, 'Heh, I'll smell your salty tears from all the way over here once you go get your shit put in by Surge, he's on a whole other level from Brock and those slutty sisters in Cerulean.'

Hey now, that was rude. Only one of them was a slut. I actually quite liked Lily, she was pretty cool in our battle and pretty tough.

'Again, tough talk for somebody who didn't bother battling those sisters.' I replied.

From what he'd told me over the past few days, the only one of the main eight gyms Gary had went after, was the Pewter one and only because of the leader being Brock and not Flint.

When the only reply he sent was an emoji of a middle finger being stuck up, I smirked and put my phone back in my pocket.

And immediately lost my smirk and sighed.

Flint wasn't the only leader I'd looked into lately. I'd checked the profile for Surge just the other day. If Flint's team was kind of stacked, then Surge's was the full on whooty booty of electric squads.

On top of that, Surge had way more than just six pokemon. He had a few that stood out above the rest, but he had dozens of pokemon. Dozens of Voltorb, Pikachu, Magnemite and shit.

But the main ones that stood out above the rest?

Raichu, Alolan Golem, Ampharos, Electrode, Magnezone, Manectric, Jolteon, Lanturn and fucking Electivire of all things.
