Fifth Vision

[Well, this is somewhat familiar. Wataru is yet again walking out of a building, except this time it's the Violet City Gym instead of the Pokécenter.

Also, he is grinning from ear to ear. Getting your very first badge can do that. Similarly, his Croconaw is marching by his side, looking rather pleased with himself.

There is also no way this sudden challenge was taken up just because his fellow travelers both got their badges on their first tries before him nope.]

It looks like we really did just need to train a bit more to beat him this time! It wasn't easy, but... We still won!

[Despite his happiness at winning, a thought occurs to him and it fades a little.]

Though... has anyone else noticed that the gym leader was awful strong for the first boss? When I played the games in my world, the first gym leader was way easier than that.

Be careful not to underestimate him. He's tougher than he looks!

Yeah. This place has different Pokémon and trainers and locations, but I didn't think the gym leaders would be that much tougher.

Mm, I won't. We've been training for some time in preparation.

I see. Are there other... large differences that you've noticed?

Hmmm... I've heard people talking about berries, but I haven't looked for any. Also, I think there's a couple of new Pokémon types that weren't in the games.

I seem to recall reading something about the berries in the handbook... Oh! But I do know they're not safe for humans to eat. [She's seen... more than a few entries on the gear to that effect.] And you mean the elemental types?

[Nod.]

My Croconaw has an attack called "Bite" that was a Normal type in the game, but now it's Dark. They didn't even have that type in the game, either.
