...
"Okay, we'll try" – I nodded.
Trying costs nothing, besides...
[A mission has been issued!
Mission: Solve Koharu's problem and catch the Shiny Squirtle.
Reward: 20 Gacha Tickets, movement limit increase from 4 to 5, Koharu's favorability towards you increases tremendously.
Time limit: 1 day]
It seems that the system wants me to help Koharu no matter what, besides, the rewards for doing the mission are extremely good, even the conditions benefit me, but... can you really increase the limit of moves that a Pokémon can use? I thought they could only use 4 moves, just like in video games, besides, in the anime I didn't see a Pokémon use more than 4 moves either, at least that I remember.
[You should forget about all the common sense of anime and video games, right now you are in real life, this is not a video game or any anime, in this world there are no limits on the movements that a Pokémon can use]
So why do most people only use 4 at most?
I mean, so far I haven't seen anyone using more than 4 different moves in a battle.
[That's because they haven't had a chance to do it, in all your fights so far, the trainers and gym leaders have used the moves that could hurt you the most, but if they only have two or three moves that can hurt you, why use the rest? Also, most use only 4 because it's very difficult to remember all the attacks your Pokémon has, but little by little, when you run into more experienced trainers and not limited to the rules of the Pokémon League, they will start using more than 4 moves against you, rest assured]
Curious... but then, why can I only use 4 moves?
Even my Pokémon had forgotten the fifth one in the past.
[The being who sent you here thought it would be fun if you unlocked the skill for your Pokémon to use more than 4 moves as you grew stronger, and since it's not uncommon for people to only use 4 different moves in a battle and add the fact that you're a beginner trainer... No one suspects that you can only use 4 different moves]
I see... Well, at least in the future I'll be able to use all the moves I want, something that will give me an absolute advantage in a battle.
[Well, you must remember that being able to use all the movements you want will not be exclusive to you, besides, many times it is better to use only a few movements so that you can remember them all, but you will discover that as you have more experience, let's say that it is something you have to discover for yourself]
If you say so...
Anyway... I'd better think for the moment about how to solve a problem that I have no idea how to solve...
"Then I wish you good luck" – said Nurse Joy with a smile.
After saying goodbye, the 5 of us head straight to the park where the Squirtles are supposed to appear.
When we arrived, we could see that it was a beautiful park, there was a lot of vegetation and apart from the benches, swings for children and some water fountains, there were no human constructions.
In addition, the park was huge and many people and Pokémon were playing and walking around the area, I could even see a middle-aged man with 5 Lillipup walking quietly.
"What a beautiful park..." – Celeste said impressed.
"Yes, it's incredible that something like this can exist in the middle of such a crowded and large city" – Roxanne nodded.
In all the cities and towns there were parks, but as beautiful as this one... very few.
"Yes, it's beautiful, in fact, Vermillion City is not only famous for its beaches, but also for this beautiful park, I always came here to relax after the academy, at least until..." – Koharu said.
But at that moment, she put on a somewhat depressed look and sat down on a nearby bench.
"What's wrong with you?" – I asked somewhat worried.
"Do you feel bad?" - asked Celeste.
"If you want, we can take you home, we don't mind staying one more day, we can try to solve the problem tomorrow" – Roxanne suggested.
After all, if she felt bad, there was no need to make an effort, our heroes didn't mind staying one more day, well, Ash did, but that was because of the mission.
"No, it's not that, it's just that..." – Koharu said.
Then he looked at me and looked down again.
"It's nothing..." – Koharu said.
But Celeste and Roxanne noticed that what Koharu was going to say was a song she didn't want Ash to hear, so they did what they had to do.
"Ash, why don't you take a walk and look for the Squirtles?" – Celeste suggested.
"Huh?" – I asked without understanding.
"That's right, look for them, we'll keep watch this area, Pikachu will go with you" – Roxanne nodded.
"Pika pi!" - Pikachu nodded happily.
It seemed that the girls wanted to get rid of me, but... I'll accept anyway, after all, I only have one day, so the sooner I start, the better.
"Okay, I'll let you know if I see anything strange, come on, Pikachu" – I said.
Then, I walked away from the girls.
What they didn't know is that the girls were not only going to comfort Koharu, but they were also going to do something else and if all went well, this conversation would change Koharu's life forever and her current worries would disappear without a trace.
…
A bit far from the place.
Since Koharu didn't tell me specifically where the Squirtle would spawn, I assumed that she took us to the spot where they would spawn or at least a nearby spot where we could see them, unfortunately, even after searching for 15 minutes, Pikachu and I couldn't find anything.
"We've been there for almost 20 minutes and we haven't found them, can you tell me what the girls are talking about?" – I wondered.
"Pika pi..." – Pikachu sighed.
"And why do you sigh now?" – I asked without understanding.
"Pika pi" – Pikachu denied.
It's like she's telling me something like "It's a conversation between girls, a guy wouldn't understand", seriously, women are the same whether they're Pokémon or humans.
"Anyway we have to find the Squirtles, any ideas?" – I asked curiously.
There's still a lot of time left, but I'd like to finish the mission as soon as possible.
"Pikapi pi" – Pikachu said pointing to one of my Pokéballs.
It was specifically Mew's.
"Hmm, do you want Mew to use hier invisibility and ability to fly to search for the Squirtle?" – I asked curiously.
And yes, unlike the videogames, Mew has a gender and it's a female, later I will explain you everything so please, be patient until then.
"Pika pi" – Pikachu nodded.
Pokémon are extremely intelligent, I wonder why they can't talk...
"Okay, I will" – I nodded.
Anyway I'm in a place where there's no one, so it doesn't matter.
Quickly, I pulled Mew out of her Pokéball, which lunged at me as soon as she came out and hugged me, resting her small head on my chest.
"Mew!" – Mew said rubbing her little head against my chest.
"Yes, I'm glad to see you too, but for now we need your help" – I said caressing her head with a smile.
"Pika pi" – Pikachu said puffing out her small cheeks.
She also wanted her trainer's caresses and was somewhat jealous.
"Don't worry, then I'll pet you too" – I nodded.
By the way, before I forget, I have to say that, right after I got off the train, I looked at Mew's stats quickly and was surprised by what I saw.
To begin with, and as usual for me, Mew had 31 Ivs in all her stats and as if that were not enough, for some reason that I don't know, she also had Evs in Special Attack and Speed, specifically 252 in each of them and the last 6 in PS, but the strangest thing of all was her ability because it was an ability that did not exist in video games and probably not in anime either, her ability was "Volatile"
