Little Satoshi doesn't know much about her. She didn't appear in the game at all, but she had a high appearance rate in special chapters, extra chapters, and some extra comics. Furthermore, her background is not simple.

In the special chapters, she is not a novice trainer. From childhood, she and Silver, one of the protagonists of the second-generation Gold and Silver versions, were kidnapped by a mysterious masked man.

After escaping, she stole Professor Oak's Squirtle. The story in the special chapters is also different from the anime. In the special chapters, Satoshi did not meet Pikachu at first.

Instead, he chose Bulbasaur, while his rival Shigeru chose Charmander, which countered Bulbasaur, according to the game mechanics. Later, Squirtle was stolen by Blue.

In the special chapters, she is a smart, cunning, playful, and cheerful girl, but that is due to being kidnapped and receiving special training.

Later, she took Squirtle and gradually became friends with Satoshi and Shigeru in the special chapters. She began as a trainer from Pallet Town, and together with Satoshi and Shigeru, they resolved many crises.

So, her origin is actually very unclear, but here, Satoshi also understands that she is a native of Pallet Town. Her personality is very cheerful, but not cunning.

This time, she is also officially coming to receive a Pokémon as a novice trainer instead of stealing one.

Satoshi also knows that this world is somewhat different from the anime, but it can't be said to be completely different, after all, the anime didn't mention the other two much. No one said the other two couldn't include Blue.

There is another interesting urban legend about her. Many people say that Blue is actually Tangrowth.

The reason why Blue only appears in promotional images and not in the game is because she drowned at the very beginning. Because she was entangled in seaweed and drowned, her soul transformed into Tangrowth.

However, these are just some urban legends and have no connection to the main story, or even the special chapters. But since he is Satoshi, the worldview of this world should be the main anime storyline.

The anime main storyline leans towards the realistic and bright side, while the special chapters are not suitable for children who love Pokémon to watch, as they reflect the dark side.

In it, not only are there organizations that plot to rule the world, but even Gym Leaders and the Elite Four cannot be trusted.

Satoshi also greeted them separately, and they both warmly greeted Satoshi. The few of them chatted for a while, and soon Professor Oak came out.

"You're here early!" He came out from the stairs, opened the iron door, and smiled kindly at the four people in front of him.

"Morning, Professor!" The few of them greeted him in unison.

"Morning to you too. It looks like you're all ready."

"Of course, Grandpa, quickly let us choose our Pokémon!" The relationship between Shigeru and Professor Oak is needless to say, so he naturally doesn't need to be too polite.

"Alright, come with me!" Professor Oak didn't waste any time. He could see that these children were very eager. He led the four of them into the laboratory, while the others remained outside.

Soon, they entered the laboratory. In a room in the laboratory, three Poké Balls were placed on cylindrical stands. There were three Poké Balls on the stands, and the names of the three Pokémon were also engraved on the surface of the Poké Balls. Looking at the three Poké Balls, Professor Oak turned to look at the three with a slight frown.

"I forgot to tell you something. Regarding the initial Pokémon this time, I didn't expect so many people to sign up this time, so only three initial Pokémon were prepared in the lab." Professor Oak looked at the four people in front of him with some difficulty.

It wasn't just Pallet Town; many places were similar. The number of people who could sign up at one time was not many, so preparing three was completely sufficient. But he didn't expect so many people to sign up suddenly this time.

"Ah! Then… then someone won't be able to get a Pokémon?" Blue asked in surprise upon hearing Professor Oak's words.

"Yes! I'm already handling it. You can take these three initial Pokémon today, but one of you might have to wait a few more days." Seeing them so eager, although he knew it was a bit unfair to them, there was nothing he could do.

The lab would handle it, and other initial Pokémon would be sent later, but it would take a few more days. However, it was clear that all four were planning to leave today.

Suddenly telling them to wait wasn't ideal. But given the current situation, there was no other way. Hearing this, Shigeru and the other boy frowned. Satoshi didn't react much.

"Then… then I'll wait a few more days!" As the only girl, she seemed less eager to leave immediately and chose to yield voluntarily.

"Grandpa, don't you have any other Pokémon here?" Seeing the only girl say this, how could the boys let a girl yield to them like this? Shigeru, seeing this, asked Professor Oak.

"Most of the Pokémon in the lab are being boarded by others. The rest are not suitable for novices. There is one, but that Pokémon doesn't even listen to me.

If you take it out, there might be problems." Although Professor Oak's place is a lab, not all the Pokémon are his.

Most of them were received by trainers here before, and then caught outside and sent back for boarding. There really aren't many Pokémon that belong to the lab.

"I want that one! Is that okay, Professor?" Satoshi immediately spoke up after hearing Professor Oak. "Hmm? It's alright, but you need to think carefully.

If you can't tame it, it could be dangerous!" Professor Oak's eyes lit up when he heard Satoshi volunteer. Satoshi often came to his place these past three years.

Seeing how he got along with Pokémon, if any novice trainer could tame it, perhaps it would be Satoshi. But he still gave him a reminder.

"It's okay, please give it to me!"

"Alright!" Professor Oak stopped talking when he saw Satoshi was so insistent. He took out another Poké Ball.

There was a lightning bolt design on the outside of the Poké Ball. Holding the Poké Ball in his hand, Satoshi felt a restlessness. The thing inside didn't seem to like being in there.

Satoshi felt this aura, and it felt like a pull on his soul. He instinctively threw the Poké Ball out.

PS: Although it says not to release it, there is another question. Does it count for things like Charizard? After all, when going to other regions, they are all kept at Professor Oak's place.

The author doesn't really want to write about someone who cheats and brings dozens of Pokémon.
