Little Tserab fell in love with his Bellsprout and stopped bothering Pikachu...
Well, isn't this a typical, downright naughty kid?
Stealing Ash's Pokémon ball and trying to capture Ash's Pikachu.
This can't even be described as a naughty child, it should be considered a thief.
And it cannot be described as unreasonable, it is just typical selfishness, only seeing oneself, without considering others at all.
Therefore, Ash was too lazy to pay any more attention to such children.
It will not be like the original story line, where I will visit this school as a trainer and serve as a guide...
"let's go."
After a quick look, Ash shook his head and left with Misty and Xiaogang.
Just when they left~
Coincidentally, the Thief boy named Xiao Xiang also raised his head subconsciously and saw Ash and the others.
"..."
His eyes were immediately drawn to the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
"It's Pikachu!?!"
His eyes lit up and he wanted to rush over with excitement.
"Xiao Xiang, where are you going?!!"
Fortunately, the teacher at the Trainer School discovered his unusual behavior in time and said, "You must keep up with the main group!!"
""
...
As a student, Xiao Xiang could only agree reluctantly, and then looked at the figure of Pikachu that could no longer be seen reluctantly.
I could only helplessly follow the pace of the teacher and classmates.
And the other side.
Ash and his group left the Trainer School and walked into the city center of Violet City.
We came to a tall building that looked like the Tower of Babel and had a purple spiral space style.
"This is Violet's gym~~~"
The three of them looked up at the tall building and said, "After walking for such a long time, we are finally here.
"Yes, yes, I have encountered so many things along the way, and have been through so many towns, and finally I have arrived at the destination.
"Isn't this Violet gym too far away from New Bark Town?!!"
After the three of them expressed their feelings, they couldn't help but complain.
Apparently, the distance between Violet City and New Bark Town is not as close as Nurse Joy said.
"But fortunately, we are here. We will soon be attending the first gym challenge of the Johto Region Alliance."
As they chatted, they thought about walking into a tall spiral building.
But at this moment~
Whoosh!!
In Soaring in the sky, a figure suddenly flashed by and flew towards the top of the gym building in Soaring in the sky.
"Is that a paraglider?"
"It looks like it should be. Is it gliding in this city?"
"It should be someone from the Violet gym. This gym is good at Flying. It's reasonable for a Trainer to behave like this~~~"
As the three of them were talking, they also walked in.
After being received at the entrance and expressing their intention to challenge the gym, Ash and his group were led into the elevator.
"You guys came at the right time. Our gym leader, Falkner, just finished his gliding training and just returned to our gym."
"You came at the right time."
The receptionist politely introduced Ash and the others.
Just finished gliding training?
Misty and Xiaogang looked at each other. It seems that the paraglider they saw outside belongs to the gym leader here, Falkner Flying?
He really is a very energetic gym leader.
From this point of view, he should not be too old, and he is a trainer who can work hard and has a lot of energy....
Ding~
As the elevator reached the top, the door slowly opened.
The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the extremely spacious fighting stadium on the roof.
The Battle Stadium is located on the top floor of a very tall building. Because there is no roof, Flying Type Pokémon can maximize their abilities.
"It looks like this is a venue designed specifically for Flying-Type Pokémon battles.
Xiaogang and Misty looked around.
After coming in, Ash locked his eyes on the gym owner Trainer who had received the news and was already waiting there.
"They are the challengers this time, right?"
Falkner, wearing a blue training suit with an ancient corset underneath, came forward.
Falkner is a young man with a stern face, his bangs hanging down from his forehead, covering his right eye.
"I am Trainer Falkner, the owner of Violet's gym. Welcome to challenge you at Violet's gym."
Falkner said welcome, but the disciples of the gym who were sitting in rows around him waiting to watch the game sat upright.
This made the atmosphere on the entire scene quite tense.
"Hello~"
Ash was not affected at all and continued to smile faintly:
"I'm today's challenger, Ash from Pallet Town.
Ash from Pallet Town?!
Such a name made Falkner raise his eyebrows.
"Are you the Ash who did so well at the Indigo Plateau Conference?"
Falkner couldn't help but look up and asked seriously.
There are many people named Ash in this world, but there is only one person from Pallet Town.
Ash nodded: "It's me."
"It's really you..."
Falkner's originally stern face suddenly showed a smile at this moment:
"I have heard of your great name a long time ago."
"At the Indigo Plateau Conference, each round of battles relied on just one Pokémon, using its superior strength to defeat each round of Rival one after another.
"Then you ascended to the championship throne. I watched your games and deeds all the way to the end."
"I recently heard that you came to our Johto Region Region to challenge the gym. It seems that I have to show my real ability..."
Falkner's exposed eyes suddenly became sharp.
The two sides did not exchange many words and stood on their respective fields.
"There are three Pokémon that can be used…
Falkner's disciple stepped forward to act as the referee, "Are both sides ready?"
"Of course~"
Ash nodded slightly.
"Me too."
Falkner took out his Pokémon ball and looked up at Ash:
"I remember you used Pidgeot at the Indigo Plateau Conference before?"
He said seriously, "That is the most beautiful and handsome Pidgeot I have ever seen."
"I think you must have really liked that Pidgeot, so you bred it so well, right?"
"Pido Fly is so beautiful, and he is very loyal and reliable to his master.
"Pidgeot is the best bird Pokémon."
"A trainer who can do Pidgeot like Breeder..."
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Falkner's face: "I think I should be able to get along well with you."
This performance also made Misty and Xiaogang, who were watching the game, whisper:
"He looks like he really likes bird Pokémon."
"Just like you like Water-Type Pokémon..."
Xiao Gang nodded in approval.
On the field, after the referee announced the official start of the game, Falkner was still expressing his feelings:
"I have always had a yearning for the blue Soaring in the sky."
"Over time, I became obsessed with Fly, the bird Pokémon in the sky.
"I even started flying a glider to learn more about these bird Pokémon."
"So, this is my first Pokémon!"
Bang!
The Pokémon ball opened, revealing the Pokémon inside.
A gray bird with a brown body and a V-shaped beige area on its eyes that resembles an eyebrow is flying in the sky, flapping its wings.
"Tsk, Noctowl, the owl Pokémon, has excellent eyes that can see even in dim light, and soft feathers that don't make any sound when flapping its wings, so it will never let its prey escape in the dark."
The Rotom Pokédex is broadcasting in real time.
"Noctowl? I remember that we should have sent out Hoothoot..."
Ash observed the movements of the owl in Soaring in the sky and it seemed to be well bred.
Apparently, Falkner was serious and not joking.
"In that case..."
Ash smiled, "Johto Region Region's first gym challenge~"
Ash looked at his old comrade on his shoulder: "I'm still counting on you, Pikachu."
"Pika~Pika!!"
Pikachu didn't hesitate at all and jumped up, waving his little fists.
"Pikachu? Electric Type?"
Falkner saw the Pokémon sent out by Ash and raised his eyebrows:
"Although there is a common saying that Flying Pokémon cannot withstand Thunder Shock and will be finished in one go..."
His expression suddenly became serious: "But I will not forgive those who look down on bird Pokémon.
"Even though there are differences in attributes, Pokémon is not that simple!!"
"Therefore, my Noctowl can easily overcome the unfavorable conditions of the Attributes!!"
He was very stylish, and was declaring condescendingly there.
"He really is a guy who says one thing and does another...
Ash said noncommittally.
Granted, Falkner's goal is to be the strongest bird Pokémon Trainer.
And he wants to get as close to Flying Pokémon as possible, so he often flies around on a glider, which is commendable.
However, Falkner has a self-righteous attitude towards Pokémon training.
He also dislikes some Trainers' comments that Flying Type Pokémon will definitely lose to Electric Type.
But somewhat hypocritically, he thought it was a wrong choice for Ash to use Chikorita in the gym match.
Still saying "I can't believe you have bird Pokémon training...
Well, he was the only one who said all the good and bad things.
Or maybe he is just a double standard person~
Ash had nothing to say about this.
"Pikachu, use [Thunderbolt] to end the battle."
"That's too real. And if I use the Electric Attribute trick, will my owl definitely be affected?!"
Falkner said solemnly, "Owl, show them your speed and strength as a bird Pokémon!!"
"Fly high and get out of the way!!"
Phew!
Falkner gave the order and the owl instantly took off into the air, pulling away from the ground.
The distance of the surface.
It has to be said that such an open-air, vast space really provides a good space for Flying Type Pokémon to play.
But~
"You did the right thing, but your Rival..."
Ash smiled slowly: "It's Pikachu."
It was the Pikachu that easily defeated Dragonite, the Pikachu that had gone through two major tournaments and won the highest honors and championships, and the Pikachu that had gone through so long.
Over time, under Ash's training, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has become even more powerful!
If it were any other Pokémon with electrical attributes, it might not be so easy to fight against Falkner's main Noctowl.
But if it's Pikachu~
"...!!!"
Dazzling sparks bloomed from Pikachu's body, interweaving in mid-air and shooting towards the owl in Soaring in the sky!!
"Get out of the way, Noctowl!!"
Falkner's expression suddenly changed. As a gym trainer, he did have some vision.
Even if he says he disdains Electric Pokémon, if he really encounters one, he will have no choice but to avoid it.
Whoosh~!
Noctowl didn't need to hear Falkner's words, it just stood there and watched the incoming lightning.
I already felt the danger, my scalp was tingling and my whole body was covered with goose bumps.
At this moment, all the feathers on its body stood up straight.
Noctowl wanted to dodge the electric currents.
But unfortunately, the current released by Pikachu is now almost comparable to real lightning.
It's not just about power, but also about speed.
Therefore, no matter how the owl flapped its wings to dodge, it was all in vain.
Sizzle!!
A surge of electricity swept through his body, and saffron-colored lightning struck him, charring Noctowl.
He even danced with his body twisted, unable to utter a single word.
Sizzle!
After the electric current swept through, the owl's body could no longer support itself and it fell down weakly.
Click.
Under that pair of faces with spiral mosquito coil eyes is a mouth that keeps spitting out black circles.
"Noctowl is incapable of fighting, Pikachu wins!"
The Violet City gym disciple who served as the referee also rolled his throat when making his judgment.
Their owner Falkner's owl didn't even have time to use a single special move.
He was taken away directly by the opponent's Thunder Shock trick.
The Trainer who came to challenge me today (de de de)... doesn't seem to be as scary as Normal.
The scene was slightly quiet.
"As expected, he is the champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference. His strength is beyond my imagination..."
Falkner broke the silence and spoke slowly, putting Noctowl away:
"Come back, Owl. Thank you for your hard work."
"Okay, I'll use you next!!"
He threw out another Pokémon ball:
"Let them see once again how powerful that bird Pokémon is!!"
Bang!
"Beep~beep!!"
An ostrich-like Pokémon with three heads appeared on the field.
"This Pokémon is... Dodrio?!"
Misty and Xiaogang quickly recognized it.
Well, another familiar face.
"For me, Dodrio is the origin of bird Pokémon. I have the same desire to fly to Soaring in the sky one day.'
Falkner folded his arms across his chest and spoke confidently.
Beep~beep!!
Dodrio followed with a shout, showing his determination.
"I see, we can totally understand your feelings.
Misty and Xiaogang nodded in understanding, "But..."
"This Dodrio, can it fly?"
Although Dodrio has a Flying Type, they usually move by running on their two thighs.
"My Dodrio happens to be able to fly~!"
Falkner closed his eyes confidently, then immediately opened them.
"Okay, just come over here!!"
"No problem~"
Ash simply nodded in response to Falkner's boast, willing to meet his request.
"Since Mr. Falkner said this Dodrio can fly, then as a gym trainer, he must have a reason for saying so.
"After all, to be able to become a gym trainer in a city and be recognized by the Alliance, it must be a group that is not normal~"
Ash showed enough respect in his words, causing the surrounding gym disciples to nod secretly.
However, the next second...
