20. Dark gray is a dark gray color that is as hard as a rock!
Nibi City, also known as Dark Grey City!
This is a city at the foot of a huge rocky mountain located in the northwest of the Kanto region, north of the Evergreen Forest, and connected by Route 2!
Backed by Mt. Tsukimi, the birthplace of the Moonstone, and connected to the ancient and vast Viridian Forest to the south, this place is not as mediocre as it appears in the anime TV series in the real Pokémon world!
It can be said to be one of the top cities in the Kanto region!
Mt. Tsukimi is home to a variety of evolution stones, such as Moonstones, as well as many precious fossils.
Based on this, Nibi City has earned the title of the largest mineral and fossil trading city in the Kanto region!
Meanwhile, the Dark Grey Science Museum, located in Nibi, is also one of Nibi's most famous attractions!
Meanwhile, one of the eight gyms in the Kanto region, the Rock Gym, is located in Pewter City and is also known as the Pewter/Pewter Gym!
This is Dark Grey City!
Dark gray is a dark gray color that is as solid as a rock!
...
...
"..."
Red, carrying a backpack and with Pikachu perched on his shoulder, arrived in front of Pewter City.
Standing on a hillside, gazing at this stone city filled with a gray and black aura!
It was at this time.
"Nibi represents gray, the color of stone!"
A middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from below the hillside of Crimson Station: "This city has been famous for its stones since ancient times."
"..."
Although the uncle's voice came out suddenly, Chi Hong was not surprised, as if he had noticed it all along.
He jumped down from the hillside and looked back at the middle-aged man with a red hat, a light yellow short-sleeved shirt, dark green trousers, and wheat-colored skin.
"Did you notice me a long time ago?"
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man paused slightly, and his rough voice, tinged with surprise, rang out: "You really are something else!"
"..."
Crimson ignored him, but instead sized up the man and recognized him.
Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City, the main character of the anime TV series, and one of Ash's first partners, is also Brock's father... Brock!
"My name is Wu Neng. These stones are my products. Would you like to buy some?"
Wu Neng's words confirmed Chi Hong's guess. He glanced at the stone with the price tag next to him and said to Chi Hong.
"Forget it, judging from your expression, you're not going to buy it anyway. Can you tell me your name? I think you're a trainer who's not simple!"
Then, Wu Neng shook his head, stood up, walked behind Chi Hong, and looked at Nibi City and spoke.
"crimson!"
Crimson responded faintly.
"Crimson, what a fine name!"
Wu Neng nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then spoke to Chi Hong:
"As a Pokémon Trainer, you've come to Pewter City, presumably intending to challenge the Pewter City Pokémon Gym, right?"
"..."
Crimson nodded slightly in response.
"Haha, the Gym Leader of Pewter City is a trainer who is skilled in using Rock-type Pokémon. If you have a Water-type or Grass-type Pokémon, you can easily challenge him!"
Upon receiving the reply, Wu Neng laughed a few times, and while walking towards Nibi City, he waved to Chi Hong and said.
"..."
Chi Hong watched Wu Neng leave, then glanced at Nibi City, which was faintly visible in the distance, his eyes filled with contemplation.
Subsequently.
"..."
Red pulled down the brim of his red and white baseball cap, then took Pikachu and headed towards Pewter City.
...
...
"Pikachu?"
Sitting on Red's shoulder, walking with Red through the streets of Pewter City, Pikachu suddenly spotted a supermarket.
And then, seeing the ketchup on the shelf near the door, his eyes lit up, and he called out to the crimson figure, "Pika~ Pika Pika!"
"..."
Looking in the direction Pikachu was pointing, Crimson shook his head speechlessly.
When this little guy was with him in Viridian Forest, he devoured more than a dozen bottles of ketchup, leaving him without any ketchup for the past two days.
This little guy was so bored!
"..."
Red shook his head slightly, bought a bottle of ketchup from the supermarket, and handed it to Pikachu to satisfy its craving.
"Pikachu~~"
Pikachu was overjoyed to receive the ketchup, and sat on the bright red shoulder, enjoying the ketchup with relish.
Red, carrying it, headed towards the Pokémon Center in Pewter City.
...
...
Pokémon Center!
"Please, Miss Joey!"
Red placed Charmander's red and white Poké Ball, along with Pikachu eating ketchup on its shoulder, into the healing dish that Nurse Joy had brought out.
"No problem, please wait patiently for a while while we examine and treat your Pokémon!"
With a sweet smile on her face, Miss Joey said a few words to Crimson, then picked up the treatment tray and walked towards the treatment room.
"..."
Then, Red walked to the phone area, sat in front of a computer, and familiarly entered the number for Professor Oak's lab, making a call.
Ding-dong!
The call was answered instantly, making it hard to doubt that Professor Oak had been waiting on the other end all along...
"Hello, this is Professor Oak's lab. May I ask...?"
"Oh? It's Akane! Long time no see! You finally called me. Are you in Nibi City right now?"
Professor Oak's face instantly appeared on the computer screen, and he greeted the crimson figure in front of the screen.
"In Nibi City, Doctor!"
Knowing the concern in Professor Oak's words, Red didn't reply with "...", but nodded and responded.

21. Head to challenge the Pewter City Gym Leader, Takeru!
"Red, you're the last one to arrive in Pewter City from Pallet Town again! Green arrived just yesterday. I really don't know what's going on with you guys!"
Professor Oak looked at Red with a speechless expression. These two were clearly the most talented, yet they weren't very enthusiastic about catching Pokémon.
However, it's understandable; they're definitely following the elite route, and their requirements for elves are quite strict.
"Never mind, it's good to see you're alright!"
Professor Oak then shook his head, preparing to end the call, when he suddenly remembered something and said to Red:
"Little Red, the things you gave me last time were very helpful, so I prepared a gift for you. You should receive it tomorrow!"
"I think that thing would be very helpful to you!"
"That's all for now, see you next time!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone, and the computer screen went black!
"..."
Red shook his head slightly, pondered for a moment about the gift Professor Oak had mentioned, and then heard the announcement broadcast from the Pokémon Hall.
He got up and walked towards the counter in the Pokémon Hall.
"Thanks, Miss Joey!"
Red walked to the counter, took Charmander's Poké Ball from the healing tray, let Pikachu climb onto his shoulder, and then said to Nurse Joy, who had returned to the counter.
"Thank you for your patience. We have restored your Pokémon to its best condition!"
Nurse Joy put away the healing tray, bowed slightly to Red, and then handed Red a room key to the Pokémon Center.
"This is your dormitory card. You can stay overnight at the Pokémon Center!"
"..."
Chi Hong took the accommodation card, nodded slightly in response, and then left.
After having dinner at the Pokémon Center's restaurant, I went to my dorm to rest and drifted off to sleep...
