Ash smiled meaningfully and looked at Whitney.
"Yeah, we originally wanted to challenge the Goldenrod Gym."
Misty didn't know, but she cooperated and said, "But it seems that the Goldenrod Gym is closed today."
"We just met you when we were coming back from the gym."
"I see~~~"
ADVERTISEMENTWhitney immediately understood and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Then, let's go to the gym again.
"But… the gym is not open today.
Misty still didn't quite understand.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go."
Whitney smiled and said, "Actually, today is a holiday, but I will make an exception and accept your Pokémon challenge."
"Thank you so much~"
Ash smiled and said, "Whitney, the head of the Goldenrod Gym."
"Master? Whitney??"
Misty was startled, and Xiaogang also reacted and immediately flipped through the Johto Region Region book in his hand:
"The Gym Leader of the Goldenrod Gym in Goldenrod City is called Whitney!!"
He immediately raised his head and suddenly realized: "So, you are actually the Gym Trainer of the Goldenrod Gym!!"
"Yes!!"
Whitney smiled and waved: "Everyone follow me!!"
"Goldenrod Gym is opening today especially for you guys!!!"
The appearance of the Goldenrod Gym is very much like a huge flower bed and also very similar to a maze.
The representative attribute of the gym is Normal Type. After defeating the gym Trainer, you can get a regular Badge.
"Pallet Town's Ash vs. Goldenrod Gym's Gym Trainer, Whitney...
On the battle field of the Goldenrod Gym, Ash and Whitney had already taken their positions, with the referee in the middle waving a flag and reading the results.
"The Pokémon battle with the Gym Badge as the stakes begins now!!"
The rare female referee looked at the blue cauliflower-haired queen and said seriously:
"There are three Pokémon in use. Whichever side loses its combat ability first will be officially defeated!!"
Whitney put her hands on her hips and said confidently: "I won't hold back, understand?"
"Okay, I'd love to have that."
Ash also raised his hat and smiled.
"Okay, the game officially begins!!"
As Ms. Cauliflower waved the flag, Whitney took out her Pokémon first:
"First up is Nidorina! Go!!"
Bang!!
A white light flashed, and the Pokémon Nidorina, with its head raised and its body covered with blue poisonous stings, appeared on the field.
This is also an old Rival, the Poison Type Nidorina, which is considered the evolution of Nidoran♀.
"547 beep, Nidorina, a poisonous stinger Pokémon, the evolved form of Nidoran♀. When it is with its friends and family, it will retract its thorns to avoid hurting each other. It seems to become uneasy when it is away from its friends."
The Rotom Pokédex floats past the record just in time.
"Go ahead, Houndour."
Ash also threw out his Pokémon directly.
BANG!
"Ouch!!"
The pitch-black hellhound Houndour, who was full of energy and fighting spirit, also appeared in the venue with a roar.
"Nidorina, use Poison Barb to attack!!"
Whitney launched an attack immediately and decisively.
"Houndour, use Flamethrower~!!"
Wow~!!
The burning flames burned all the Poison Barb that attacked them.
Whitney raised her hand and pointed: "Use the impact move!!"
This is the favorite move of Trainers near Indigo Plateau. It seems that they have great trust in the physical strength of Pokémon.
Able to inflict powerful damage to Rival with its impact.
However, for Ash~~~
"Well done!!"
The corners of his mouth slowly lifted up: "I was just thinking about how to get closer, but I didn't expect you to come to my door!!"
Houndour doesn't have speed-type skills like Agility or Quick Attack.
His skills are mainly focused on attack. He can learn the most typical three teeth, the joy of joy and the tooth of destruction.
Ghost Type's Shadow Ball, Ground Type's Mud Shot, Grass Type's Sunshine Blaze, Poison Type's Sludge Bomb, and...
"Houndour, wait for Nidorina to get close and use [Psychic Fangs]!!"
The best counter to Poison Type, Psychic Type, [Psychic Fangs]!!
It can also use the psychic power Bite Rival to attack and destroy Light Screen and Reflect.
The main function of this move is to destroy the opponent's field's Contest Condition-type moves such as Light Screen, Reflect, and Aurora Veil, and attack the target to cause damage.
But here, what Ash values is the Psychic Type damage that restrains the Poison Type!!
"Ooooooooooooooo!!"
A fierce look flashed across Houndour's eyes.
This is the first time that it has been a Trainer's Pokémon and has challenged a Trainer in a battle at a gym!
As the leader of the Houndour clan, she absolutely cannot fail!!
At that moment, its eyes were fixed on the charging Nidorina.
Then, at the moment when it was about to rush over, he quickly adjusted his position and dodged.
Next~~~
Snap!!
The dark mouth opened, and the psychic fangs filled with spiritual power pierced deeply into Nidorina's body.
"More~!!!"
Nidorina let out a painful Growl on the spot.
"Nidorina?!"
Whitney's face suddenly changed, but before she could give the next instruction.
"Just bite Nidorina and use Flamethrower!!"
Ash's calm and even voice followed.
"Ouch!!!"
A raging fire spewed out from Houndour's mouth, and the Nidorina he was biting rushed out with it.
This is a direct hit wrapped in a blazing fire!!
boom!!
The gushing flames hit and enveloped Nidorina, and shot directly onto the edge of the wall.
Only when the flames dissipated did Nidorina's body fall down with difficulty.
Those eyes had already turned into mosquito coil spiral pattern eyes.
"Nidorina is incapacitated, Houndour wins!!"
The referee, Miss Cauliflower, immediately announced the result of the game.
"Come back, Nidorina, thank you for your hard work..."
Upon seeing this, Whitney raised her hand and took Nidorina back.
She didn't seem surprised by this.
"After all, they are Ash's Pokémon. The Pikachu and Gengar seem to be well-breeded. I think the other Pokémon are not bad either....
She couldn't help but exhale, and then looked at Clefairy at her feet:
"Clefairy, it's your turn next."
She smiled and begged, "Please use the same trick you usually use."
"Clefairy~!!"
Clefairy jumped into the venue.
"Well done, Houndour~"
After winning the game, Ash also praised Houndour, who also raised his head high.
She grinned at Ash's praise, and was very pleased.
"Next, let's let the other companions take over."
Ash took out the Pokémon ball and put it back with a smile: "After all, we have to leave a chance for other companions to appear."
"Go ahead, Cyndaquil!!"
Bang!
A white light appeared, and Cyndaquil appeared in the venue with squinting eyes.
Then, the moment it landed, flames appeared on its back.
This is also how it enters the battle Contest Condition.
Well, compared to the loose, procrastinating, and unmotivated Contest Condition at the beginning.
Now that it can enter the battle, it can be regarded as Houndour's influence and teaching by example~~~
After all, although they both survived in the wild before, Houndour's living environment was obviously more cruel and harsher than Cyndaquil's.
He was also very dissatisfied with Cyndaquil's lack of ambition.
Get some practice, you rat!
Since it was not considered meddling in other people's business, Cyndaquil had no choice but to cheer up and ignite the flame of her fighting spirit.
This battle is also its first challenge against a gym Trainer.
Rival is still a harmless-looking Clefairy with a faint smile on his face.
But~~~
"Clefairy~Clefairy~~"
The rapid waving of Clefairy's fingers indicated that what it was doing was not ordinary.
"It's Clefairy's ultimate move, Metronome!"
"It will unleash a phantom-like ultimate move that no one can predict!!"
Misty and Xiaogang at the back were also watching the moves that Clefairy was about to make with great caution.
Metronome skill, randomly select 1 move from almost all moves and use it.
No one knows what moves this Clefairy's Metronome can perform.
Looking at the gym leader on the opposite side, Trainer Whitney, he looked very confident.
Could it be that her Clefairy can increase the probability of using powerful skills with Metronome?!
Misty and Xiaogang were on guard, and Ash was also waiting to see the results of the moves used by this Clefairy.
Even Cyndaquil, because her Trainer had no instructions, followed suit and remained on hold for the time being.
The venue became somewhat quiet for a while.
Then~~~
"Clefairy~!"
Clefairy's two waving fingers suddenly emitted a blue glow, which then immediately disappeared.
Afterwards~~~
Snap, Snap!!
Clefairy's figure suddenly jumped on the spot.
It waved its hands and jumped continuously in the air.
This move is......
Misty, who is proficient in Water-Type Pokémon, looks more and more familiar the more you look at her.
Whitney's smile, which originally showed her confidence in winning, froze on her face:
"It's Magikarp's Water Splash."
It is a special skill that can only jump and has no attacking moves~~~
"Cyndaquil, use the Flamethrower."
Seeing this, Ash couldn't help laughing and immediately ordered Cyndaquil to follow up with the attack.
"Ouch!!"
Cyndaquil opened her mouth and a burning flame of the same temperature and magnitude burst out.
"Clefairy!!"
Clefairy, who was performing Splash, became visibly panicked.
He quickly made a few splashing leaps, barely avoiding the Flamethrower, and then hurriedly ran out of the battlefield.
"Clefairy~!"
She immediately crawled into Trainer Whitney's arms and cried for comfort.
"Okay, okay, good boy, thank you for your hard work this time."
Seeing this, what else can Whitney blame on her lovely Clefairy?
Of course I choose to comfort it.
"Clefairy loses the will to fight, Cyndaquil wins!!"
Middle of the venue
The cauliflower referee lady announced there.
Cyndaquil on the field: "......"
I don't know how it happened, but it seems that I won with just one Flamethrower.
It was in stark contrast to Houndour who just fought against Nidorina.
It was too easy for me to win... It felt like I won without any effort.
Is it the dog that wins by doing nothing? No, Houndour is the dog, and I can barely be considered the rat that wins by doing nothing.
Besides, am I winning by doing nothing?!
I also fired a powerful Flamethrower~~~
Cyndaquil was trying to find reasons for her victory, and then she raised her hands and laughed and cheered.
It was such a great win!!
"As expected of Ash~"
After comforting Clefairy, Whitney couldn't help but look at the figure standing opposite her with admiration.
"On the way back to the gym, I looked up your information, Ash."
"As expected of Ash, he never lost a single round of the Alliance Conference, and never made any Pokémon lose their ability to fight!
"However, if you think that you can defeat my three Pokémon without any harm, then you are too naive!!"
Whitney confidently surrounded her last Pokémon ball:
"With it here, you won't be able to win so easily!!"
"Go, Miltank!!"
She immediately threw the baby ball in her hand away.
book!!
A cow-like Pokémon suddenly appeared on the field.
This Pokémon looks like a pink cow with a black ball at the end of its tail.
"Beep, Miltank, the cow Pokémon, can produce 20 liters of milk every day. The sweet milk is loved by adults and children. People who are not used to drinking milk will make it into sour milk.
Milk for consumption."
The Rotom Pokédex floats by just in time.
Miltank produces 20 liters of nutritious milk every day, and has supported the lives of humans and Pokémon since ancient times.
Moreover, if you don't squeeze fresh milk for it every day, its body will feel uncomfortable.
The better the land is at growing high-quality grass, the more fragrant and delicious the milk it produces will be, and the taste of the fresh milk will also change with the seasons.
The milk squeezed out during lactation contains more nutrients than usual.
This is the best drink for the elderly and the sick.
It is said that children who grow up drinking Miltank's milk will become healthy and strong.
However, this milk is high in calories, "so if you drink it, you will end up like Miltank.
If you drink too much, you may even have diarrhea.
When milking a Miltank, the trick is to squeeze the nipple rhythmically from top to bottom.
People breed them almost exclusively for milking, but because they are quite strong and sturdy, they are also used in combat.
Just like what Whitney is doing now, taking out Miltank.
"It's Miltank indeed."
Ash wasn't surprised at all by the Pokémon Whitney brought out.
In the original version, Whitney sent it to fight Ash at the end of the gym match.
Miltank used Rollout continuously to defeat Cyndaquil, and Ash's Totodile's Water Gun did not slow down Miltank.
Miltank used Rollout again to knock down Totodile, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt was ineffective against it. As a result, Pikachu was also defeated by Miltank's Rollout.
It can be said that this Miltank is very good at Rollout attacks.
"Miltank, use Rollout attack!!"
After Miltank appeared, Whitney immediately launched this ultimate attack with confidence.
"Miya!!"
Miltank responded, and immediately splashed his body, turning into a ball in mid-air, and rolled out towards Cyndaquil.
"Come back, Cyndaquil."
Seeing this, Ash took Cyndaquil back.
The Rollout trick is a Rock Type move, and it is still a restraint against Cyndaquil.
Moreover, after this attack, the user will continue to use Rollout to attack in the next 4 turns, and will not be able to use other moves, use props, replace Pokémon or escape.
The power of the subsequent four attacks is increased by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times and 16 times respectively.
The power is the result of the accumulation of each Rollout attack, plus the Rollout trick that the small country has specially trained this Miltank for.
This also makes its attack and explosive power reach a very terrifying level.
"Logically speaking, to deal with a Miltank with such terrible attack and explosive power, we should use softness to overcome hardness and temporarily avoid the sharp edge~~
After all, the Rollout attack is so powerful that using some Pokémon that are good at dodging and have speed is the best solution.
But~~~
"Need to avoid his edge? I avoid his edge?!!".
