Chapter 68 - Chapter 68 Another Badge Is in Hand! Psyduck![ Mermaid's Companion]!

"It's a very good grass-type Pokémon for Rookie...

Ash looked the Pokémon up and down.

Although Tangela is small in size, its Species Strength is actually 435.

Species Strength~ is even higher than some final evolutionary Pokémon.

Its defense and special attack values ​​are both over 100 points, making it a very powerful Pokémon for novices.

[Pokémon:Tangela]

[Gender: Male]

[Coach: Erika]

[Attribute: Grass]

[Ability: Leaf Defense (Will not fall into Status Condition when the weather is Sunny Day or Sunshine. Will not cure -Status Condition.)]

[Skills: Absorb, Bind, Stun Spore, Growth...…]

[Carrying things: None]

[Potential: Gym]

[Training suggestions:....

[Entry: None]

Well, it can only be regarded as an ordinary thick monster.

When facing a grass-type Pokémon~

"Charmeleon, you are the one who will relieve your heat!"

Bang!

"Huo Cha!!"

The evolved Charmeleon appeared in the venue with great vigor.

When it stepped onto the battlefield, Tangela on the opposite side shuddered.

When the effect of the term was activated, the strength level of the vine monster dropped by 10%.

But it seems that for a Rival of this level, it doesn't matter even if it doesn't drop~

"Charmeleon,Flamethrower!"

"Huo Cha!!"

Charmeleon, who had been feeling very uncomfortable for a long time, had never experienced a formal battle after evolving, and could only bully Infernape in private, immediately opened fire!

Hoohoo~!!

A huge mouthful of lava flame almost raised the temperature of the entire venue.

"Tangela, get out of the way!!"

Erika was really shocked when she saw this scene, and quickly ordered the Changyan monster to dodge away.

She had never seen such power in a challenger before!!

If Tangela were to be hit head-on with this move...

"Manman~!!"

Erika didn't need to say much, Tangela herself was almost scared to death.

It is a real grass-type, with grass-type vines all over its body.

If you were hit by the flames, you would probably be burned right on the spot!

"Don't panic, Tangela, use Stun Spore!!"

Erika gave the order decisively.

Since we can't deal with it head-on, then attack from the side.

He is very skilled at using moves like Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, and Leech Seed.

This is also her usual move to deal with Pokémon of the same type as Fire, Ice, and Flying.

"Manman!"

Tangela obeyed and did as she was told, dodging and dancing around.

A large amount of red flying powder was also released towards Charmeleon.

But~~~

"Huo Cha!!"

Without Ash's order, Charmeleon increased the force of her spitting.

He burned and swallowed all the flying powder in one gulp.

The second mouthful of spit was directly sprayed onto Tangela who was still spinning and dancing!!

Boom~!!

"Tangela!!"

Erika's face changed drastically and she called Tangela's name again.

However, what responded to her was a pair of eyes that were burnt to reveal dark circles.

Well, it spins and jumps, and it closes its eyes tightly~~~

"Tangela loses her ability to fight, and we win by destroying the dinosaurs!!"

The referee next to him waved a flag, and a group of perfume shop clerks and gym apprentices behind him looked at Ash in surprise.

"I didn't expect this Rookie Trainer to be so powerful?"

"Did he really just start traveling?"

"That Charmeleon is so strong."

"You really can't judge a person by his appearance..."

The sounds of amazement and surprise from everyone also made Xiaogang and Misty, who were standing by, puff out their chests.

Look, this is our friend Ash!!

He will definitely become the best Pokémon Trainer in the future!!

Both of them were very proud of Ash below.

"Sure enough, from the first time I saw you, I realized that you are not an ordinary Trainer..."

Erika took back Tangela, smiling, and her expression gradually became more serious:

"I admit that you are very strong, but my love for Pokémon is no less than your strength!!"

She took out another Pokémon ball and said, "Ash, I'm telling you, don't underestimate me!!"

"Gloom, it's up to you now!!"

"Stinky~"

Gloom lives up to its "stinky" name.

At least after it came on the field, the smell it exuded was unstoppable, making everyone on the field frown.

"Ding, stinky... Gloom, a weed Pokémon, seems to lose its memory if it smells the honey that flows out of its mouth. But there are some fanatical fans who like this smell... Ugh!"

This time, even the Rotom Pokédex can't stand the taste of Gloom.

Clearly, it's not a fan favorite.

[Pokémon:Gloom]

[Gender: Female]

[Trainer: Grass, Poison]

[Attribute:Erika]

[Ability: Stench (When using the move Rival to attack and cause damage, the opponent has a 10% chance to fall into the Contest Condition.)]

[技能:Acid,Absorb,Growth,Sweet Scent,Poison Powder,Stun Spore...]

[Carrying things: None]

[Potential: Elite]

[Training suggestions:.....

[Entry: Very stinky! (purple).]

[Super Stink! (Purple): It emits a stronger stench than a normal Gloom. By releasing a stinky smell, when attacking, there is a 30% chance that Rival will be unable to move, or will fall directly to the ground due to the stench.]

After reading the information about this Gloom, even Ash, who was still able to hold on, was speechless.

Let's not talk about the hidden ability of [Stink], there is also the entry of [Extreme Stink! (Purple)].

No wonder this Gloom is different from Normal's Mikey.

And it seems that Erika's perfume shop's exclusive formula uses the extract of her Gloom as the perfume raw material...

This smell is enough to kill people.

"Huo Cha~!!"

Charmeleon was the first to lose patience.

In the original version, when it was Charmander, it was directly stunned by the stench.

This is a pure biochemical attack, and has nothing to do with skills or moves.

But this time, it did not roll its eyes. Instead, the flame on its tail burned violently.

"Fire~~~Cha!!!"

Puffs of extremely hot air came out of its mouth, like a blazing gale, sweeping away the stench.

"Use [Heat Wave] to blow away the stench? It seems Charmeleon also has its own way of dealing with it..."

Ash's face showed a hint of relief as he looked at Charmeleon, who had grown up and knew how to properly resolve the opponent's attack.

It seems that old Gastly's rich combat experience and teachings are still very useful.

At least, Charmeleon looked like a veteran.

"..."

Instead of affecting the other party, the stench that burst out was blown away by a [Heat Wave], making Gloom extremely uncomfortable.

"Gloom!?"

Seeing that her most proud moves were easily defeated by the opponent, even Erika became a little at a loss at this moment.

"The Last Flamethrower!!"

The trick doesn't have to be new, as long as it works.

Especially the powerful [Flamethrower], which is also a Fire Type signature skill and can easily bring huge damage.

It really works every time!!

"Stinky~!!"

Gloom, who was hit head-on, screamed and fell to the ground, which clearly explained the problem.

"I lost."

Erika sighed and took Gloom back.

"Even Gloom can be defeated easily..."

Erika became more relaxed after she admitted defeat.

She looked at Ash who was walking towards her, her eyes full of admiration.

There was no need to fight a third match. Erika knew that she couldn't win even if she fought again.

This boy named Ash is really exceptional!!

"You are really amazing. I am really looking forward to you getting an excellent ranking at this year's Indigo Plateau Conference!"

Erika smiled and took out the colorful badge.

"This is a recognition of your strength, Rainbow Badge."

"Thanks!"

Ash thanked him and took the badge with a smile.

"Rainbow Badge, I got it!!"

"Huo Cha!!"

"Pika Pika!!"

Charmeleon and Pikachu on the side were happy for Ash.

The audience in the stands also cheered and applauded Ash wholeheartedly.

This outstanding young Trainer and his Pokémon really impressed them.

"So, Ash already has five badges in his hand, right?"

While Xiaogang and Misty were clapping and congratulating, they also did not forget to summarize their current achievements.

"Well, there are stone badges, water drop badges, orange badges, gold badges, and this rainbow badge."

"Ash is only three badges away from the final Alliance Conference!"

"Besides, it's only a matter of time. Ash will definitely get it!!"

They are full of confidence in Ash!!

Therefore, Veilstone was left as the challenge for the Rainbow Gym.

But there was a small episode in the middle.

"Has the [Legendary Perfume] been stolen?"

When Erika said goodbye to Ash and others, she received feedback from the security guard.

"It's a group of two men and women wearing white R uniforms, plus a Meowth, right?"

"Ah, isn't that Team Rocket?"

After hearing the description, the Ash trio who had not yet left recognized it immediately.

"Do you know each other?"

"They are a bunch of bad guys. We have dealt with them many times."

Misty said angrily, Xiaogang also said beside her:

"Do you need our help to get this perfume back?"

[Legendary perfume], you can tell it's a very precious thing just by listening to it.

"That's okay."

Erika smiled after hearing this, "That's just the raw material for making perfume, it contains the purest extract of Gloom.

The purest?

Xiaogang and Misty looked at each other at the same time.

This means that...

"What a stinky smell!!"

"It stinks!!"

"I can't stand it anymore, my nose..."

Inside a water pipe in an open space, the three members of Team Rocket just opened the so-called "Legendary Perfume".

After smelling the first scent coming out of it~

The entire water pipe was so excited that it started moving on the spot.

After dancing for a while, it finally fell limply to the ground.

The trio rolled their eyes in unison and fell straight down, sobbing.

"Why......is this happening?"

"Isn't this perfume..."

"The dream of making money is shattered..."

"Mingming, we have already avoided that little devil~ meow..."

"It's that nasty feeling again."*3.

The tragic journey of the Rockets trio is still continuing.

After Ash and his group got the Rainbow Badge, they did not rush to the next destination.

After traveling for such a long time, you still need to take a good rest.

Rainbow City is very prosperous. The department store, Game Center, Rainbow Building, etc. are all famous landmark buildings.

In Misty's opinion, this place is more like a concrete jungle, which makes people feel suffocated.

Before Ash and his friends had time to go for a walk, they were stopped by Nurse Joy.

"The Pokémon in our center have been acting strange lately...

Led by Nurse Joy, they met the listless Marowak, the wilted Oddish, and even the energetic but useless Magikarp, who was unable to revive.

DXZ....

"And this child."

Nurse Joy picked up a yellow duck with wide, round eyes that looked stupid and innocent.

"I'm constantly worried."

"Psyduck, the duck Pokémon by the water, has been suffering from headaches. When the headache is severe, it will start to use its magical power.

Presented by Rotom Pokédex.

Nurse Joy:"...____

It seems that the worry about this child is unnecessary.

Headache is Kowo's nature.

"Is this child a water type?"

Misty, who had always aspired to become a Water Pokémon Master, couldn't help but stare out loud after hearing this introduction.

She looked at Psyduck, who was holding his head and tilting his head with his eyes blank, with a look of pity on her face:

"What a poor child."

"Quack~"

Psyduck tilted his head and made eye contact with Misty.

[Pokémon:Psyduck]

[Gender: Male]

[Trainer: None]

[Attribute: Water]

[Ability: Weather-independent (When a Pokémon with this ability is present, any weather effects will be invalid. The weather will not disappear.)]

[Skills: Grab, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Confusion...]

[Carrying things: None]

[Potential: Elite]

[Training suggestions:...]

[Entries: Lone Swimmer (gold), Never-ending Headache (gold), Mermaid's Companion (gold).]

[Lone Swimmer (Gold): Unable to learn to swim, but can use his own Confusion to swim in the water. The power of Water Type moves decreases by 10%, and the power of Psychic Type moves increases by 50%. ]

[Never-ending headache (gold): The more severe the headache, the more powerful super powers can be released. As the headache increases, the power of your own Psychic and moves will increase, up to more than 50%.]

[Mermaid's Companion (Gold): As a duck, it only follows the most beautiful mermaid in the water. Following a beautiful female water Pokémon Trainer, its own potential talent, ability limit, training effect, item effect, and skill move power will be increased by one level.]

I have confirmed through eye contact that it is the god in the original version.

Even Ash couldn't help but look sideways at such information.

There were three golden entries, and the last one, which was even more outrageous, was [Mermaid's Companion (Gold)].

What does it mean to follow a pretty female Water Pokémon Trainer?

Such conditions are a bit too harsh.

However, it is precisely because of such harsh conditions that the powerful effect of the entry is achieved.

To be honest, if the direction of this entry wasn't too obvious, Ash would have wanted to collect it.

But it was obvious that this Psyduck had already fallen in love with Misty after looking at her for a moment.

"I think you two get along very well..."

Ash couldn't help but patted Misty's shoulder, "Then you might as well just tame it, Misty.

"ah?"

Misty, who was originally feeling some sympathy, was a little surprised, "But this child is in this Pokémon Center..."

"It's ownerless."

Professor Joy quickly replied: "Someone saw that the child had a headache and sent him here."

"I checked, it's a wild Pokémon."

"X10S..."

Misty couldn't help but look at the dazed Psyduck again.

If you think about it, there is a lot of fate between them.

Although, the child looked dull.

"Misty, aren't you going to become a master of water Pokémon?"
