Pokemon: This Gary is Very Different

---

"The teacher they are talking about is, of course, me."

Just when Gary and Rosa were guessing the identity of the teacher leading the team, a familiar voice came from their ears.

After hearing this voice, Gary and the others immediately turned their heads and looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a graceful girl waving at them with a smile.

Looking at the familiar black dress and red pantyhose in front of them, there was no doubt that the person who came was Roxanne, the teacher of the Pokémon School in Rustboro City and the Gym Leader of the Rustboro Gym at that time.

"Long time no see, Gary and Rosa."

Roxanne, an old friend of Gary and Rosa, walked towards them while greeting them.

"Long time no see, Roxanne!"

Rosa was also very happy to see Roxanne.

"Roxanne, what are you doing here? Why are you on the streets of Rustboro City with the children?"

After Gary greeted Roxanne, he asked her because he was curious about why Roxanne and the children appeared on the streets of Rustboro City.

"That's because we are taking an outdoor practice course now."

Before Roxanne could answer, the children around her answered in unison.

"Outdoor practice course?"

This was the first time Rosa had heard of this course.

"It's to take the children out and have close contact with the trainers and Pokémon passing by."

Roxanne also gave a brief introduction to this.

"I see!"

After hearing what Roxanne said, Rosa immediately understood.

"By the way, Gary, Rosa, I remember that you have already got the badge of Rustboro Gym. Why did you return to our Rustboro City?"

Roxanne was curious about Gary and the others reappearing in Rustboro City, and at the same time, she was also full of curiosity about Hilda, whom she met for the first time.

"And this lady, is she your new partner?"

After saying that, Roxanne turned her eyes to Hilda, who was beside Gary.

"She is my best friend, Hilda, who is from the Unova region like me."

After seeing Roxanne focus on Hilda, Rosa happily introduced her best friend to Roxanne.

"Hello, I am Hilda."

Since Rosa had introduced her, Hilda also greeted Roxanne politely.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

This was Roxanne's reply.

"Hilda met us in Slateport City."

Gary followed Rosa closely and said, "One of the things we did when we returned to Rustboro City this time was that Hilda wanted to challenge your Rustboro Gym."

"I see."

After hearing what Gary and Rosa said, Roxanne also nodded.

"Just now, Gary, you said it was Miss Roxanne's Rustboro Gym?"

And Hilda quickly grasped the key words in Gary's words.

"Didn't I tell you?"

After hearing Hilda's question, Gary looked at Hilda with a surprised look.

"What are you talking about?"

Although Hilda knew every word Gary said, she couldn't know its meaning when they were combined.

"Actually, Miss Roxanne is the Gym Leader of the Rustboro Gym."

Before Gary could reply, Rosa on the side answered first.

"Is that so?"

After listening to Rosa's explanation, Hilda subconsciously looked at Roxanne.

"Yes, I am the Gym Leader of the Rustboro Gym."

With Roxanne nodding in acknowledgment, Hilda also knew that Roxanne was the Gym Leader.

Gary and Rosa also confirmed that they had not mentioned this matter before.

"Miss Roxanne, I am going to challenge the Rustboro Gym. I wonder when you have time?"

Since it was confirmed that Roxanne was the Gym Leader, Hilda directly asked about her challenge to the gym.

"I have to go to class today, so I'm afraid I don't have time."

After thinking for a while about the challenge from Hilda, Roxanne lowered her head and said, "I wonder if it's possible tomorrow?"

"Of course."

Since the time has been determined, Hilda has no objection.

"Since Roxanne still has to teach these children, we won't bother you. Let's make an appointment and see you tomorrow!"

After agreeing on the gym battle, Gary and the others did not stay to bother Roxanne and the others, so they said goodbye.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

After saying goodbye to Roxanne and the children, Gary and the others walked towards the Pokémon Center in Rustboro City.

---------------------------------

...Dividing line...

After resting at the Pokémon Center for a night, Gary brought Rosa and Hilda, who was ready to challenge the gym, to the Rustboro Gym the next morning.

There is no need to say more about what happened next. Hilda defeated Roxanne's two Pokémon with her outstanding strength and won the Stone Badge of the Rustboro Gym in one fell swoop.

"Gary, are we going to leave Rustboro City and go to Petalburg City next?"

After leaving Rustboro Gym, Rosa asked Gary about the next itinerary.

"It's not time to leave Rustboro City yet."

Gary shook his head and refused.

"Do we have anything else to do?"

Looking at Gary, who was not going to leave, Hilda, who got the Stone Badge, also set her sights on Gary.

"It's like this,"

After sorting out his thoughts, Gary began to explain: "I got an Old Amber with ancient Pokémon genes before, and I want to revive it through the fossil resurrection machine."

"In other words, Rustboro City has a fossil resurrection machine."

After listening to Gary's words, Hilda quickly understood.

"Where is this fossil resurrection machine in Rustboro City?"

Rosa looked up and asked Gary beside her.

"Could it be..."

The smart Hilda soon came up with an idea.

Seeing Hilda had guessed the answer, Gary smiled slightly, and the following words also confirmed this point.

"There is a fossil resurrection machine in the Devon Corporation in Rustboro City."

"But how can we get the opportunity to use it?"

Although I know that the Devon Corporation has a fossil resurrection machine, this opportunity should be rare. How can Gary get it?

This is what Rosa is more concerned about at the moment.

"Don't worry, before coming to Rustboro City, I have already contacted Mr. Steven, and he told us to go directly to the Devon Corporation."

Looking at Rosa's concerned look, Gary gently touched Rosa's bun and explained with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Steven is the son of the Devon Corporation."

Hearing Gary's words, Rosa instantly remembered that Steven was the son of the Devon Corporation.

"So let's go to Devon Corporation now!"

After explaining clearly, Gary called Rosa and Hilda and went to Devon Corporation together.

Just after Gary and his friends arrived at the bottom of Devon Corporation, someone walked towards Gary and his friends.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
