Humming a tune and strolling along, Gary walked leisurely behind Scyther, his head tilted.

With a Scyther-brand lawnmower, traveling in the wild was incredibly easy.

He could already hear the rustling sound of waves crashing on the beach, which meant Gary was not far from the lighthouse, his destination.

"Woof woof!" Suddenly, a dog's bark caught Gary's attention.

"Eevee, are you learning a foreign language?" Gary asked, looking curiously at the Eevee on his shoulder.

"Eevee..." Eevee blinked its big eyes innocently. "It wasn't me..."

"Woof woof~" This time, Gary heard it clearly; the sound came from the bushes.

Curiously, Gary pushed aside the bushes and was almost blinded!

"Wow! A Golden Legend!!" The appraisal light flashed madly, and Gary couldn't help but exclaim.

A Growlithe lay weakly in the bushes. Judging by the wounds on him, he had likely been bitten by a Raticate's Hyper Fang.

It seemed that a newly adult Growlithe had inadvertently provoked a Raticate pack.

To escape with such severe injuries also showed that this dog's combat power should not be underestimated.

Seeing Gary, Growlithe cautiously closed his mouth. Perhaps due to his natural affinity for humans, he didn't show any aggression, only quieted down and licked his wounds.

"This little guy is quite reserved." Gary squatted down and quickly rubbed Growlithe's head.

"Woof... woof ow woof (No! Don't... don't stop...)" Growlithe's expression changed rapidly, but in the end, he succumbed to instinct.

Eevee pouted beside him. Considering that this guy was injured, she wouldn't bother with him today. How dare he compete for affection with her, this was outrageous~

After petting the dog's head for a while, Gary saw that Growlithe had relaxed. He took out a Potion spray to treat Growlithe's wounds: "It might sting a bit, bear with it."

"Woof~" Growlithe nodded, his tail wagging wildly... smack...

Eevee, standing behind Growlithe, was almost swept away by a tail. She shook her little paws in dissatisfaction, flailing wildly in the air, finally feeling appeased.

Eevee:  ̄へ ̄, This dog looks honest, but he's actually a bootlicker!

After spraying Potion on all of Growlithe's wounds and bandaging the exposed ones, Gary tied a bow with the bandage on Growlithe's head, then clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Perfect~" Gary nodded, looking at his masterpiece.

"Pfft Eevee" Eevee covered her mouth, giggling.

Growlithe, however, didn't mind. He weakly stuck out his tongue and licked Gary's hand.

Gary immediately felt his heart melt. Who could refuse a warm, brave, and charming big dog~

"In your current state, it's too dangerous in the wild. How about it, would you consider becoming my dog?" Gary asked, stroking Growlithe's head.

"Woof~ woof!" Growlithe's eyes sparkled as he looked at Gary, nodding vigorously.

"Done~" Gary took out a poké ball and gently tapped it on Growlithe's head. The little guy obediently entered the poké ball, and the warning light didn't even flash.

"I caught a Growlithe~" Gary winked at Eevee happily. Eevee jumped back onto Gary's shoulder and rubbed against his cheek to assert her dominance.

Eevee: ( ̄▽ ̄) As long as I'm alive you all are mere concubines

"Alright, let's keep going. Let's try to reach Bill's Research Institute before dark."

Speaking of which, Bill and Gary had some history.

It was when Gary went to the Indigo Plateau to get his scholar certification, and Bill happened to be there to get his doctorate.

After seeing Gary's thesis, Bill was immediately amazed, insisting on giving his doctorate to Gary.

Finally, after much persuasion from Gary and the two becoming sworn brothers, Bill finally calmed down.

After walking through the last stretch of forest path, the view suddenly opened up. The pristine white beach and azure waves were refreshing.

Not far away, a lighthouse had already lit up, its glow illuminating the distant horizon.

"Woohoo Bill really knows how to enjoy life, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming. This geographical location is absolutely amazing" Gary took a deep breath and exclaimed.

"I appreciate it, but could you help me first before marveling at my Research Institute..." A familiar voice came from under Gary's feet.

"What the heck, Bill...?" Gary exclaimed, looking at a Krabby blowing bubbles on the beach.

"Ptooey ptooey~"

Spitting out the foam, the Bill-brand Krabby shook his claws and awkwardly continued: "I accidentally swapped bodies with a Krabby during an experiment... That machine needs to be operated from outside, so... hurry up and help me switch back!"

"Okay, okay~" Gary nodded, suppressing a laugh: "No problem, so, should I carry you back to the lighthouse?"

The Bill-brand Krabby was furious: "No need! I walk sideways very fast!"

With a sudden drift, Bill the Krabby's legs scuttled quickly, and he vanished in a flash.

"Goodness~" Gary nodded in surprise. This speed was indeed faster than Bill himself...

Arriving at the lighthouse, Gary skillfully entered the access code and pushed the door open.

Bill, walking beside Gary's feet, grumbled: "You're as familiar with my Research Institute as you are with your own home."

Gary shrugged: "That's how it is between good brothers. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine..."

Bill: "What? Do you believe I'll spray foam all over your face?"

Gary said indifferently: "As you wish, as long as you're not afraid of me hunting you down with a poké ball."

Bill broke out in a cold sweat: You're ruthless...

If he were to be swapped into a Krabby and then caught by Gary, Bill felt that this incident would be a laughingstock in the academic world for a year...

Arriving at Bill's laboratory, there were two huge sealed tanks. These were the original prototypes of the Pokemon transfer devices currently used in the Kanto and Johto Regions.

Bill had also won his doctorate and a large sum of League prize money with this device.

"Alright, get in quickly." Gary opened an empty sealed chamber and gestured for Bill to enter. In the other sealed chamber, the human-form Bill, who was a Krabby, was staring curiously and pawing at the glass of the sealed chamber.

Krabby: Heh heh, this feeling... is so strange!

"Um, the transfer button is yellow, don't press red, and whatever you do, don't activate the transfer system..." Bill rambled worriedly.

"Or you do it?" Gary rolled his eyes, speechless.

"Ahem... Fine, I'm going in. Gary, don't mess things up, okay?" Bill sighed, a resigned expression on his face, and crawled into the sealed chamber with his crab legs.

Gary activated the system and slapped his right hand on the yellow button: "Come out. I choose you, Bill!"

Hiss!! The sealed chambers simultaneously injected a large amount of steam. At the same time, blue light swirled and flashed within both sealed chambers.

This was the life energy leap, Bill's greatest invention!

Click!! The sealed chambers opened again. The human-form Bill coughed twice and walked out: "Um, don't tell anyone about this, okay?"

Gary raised an eyebrow: "That depends on your performance."

Bill was on the verge of tears: "Tell me, what do you want!"
