In fact, the previous greeting lightning was just like an appetizer.
Compared with now, the difference is like a drop in the ocean!
Koga and Crobat, who faced Pikachu's move head-on, experienced it deeply.
"Get out of the way, Crobat!!"
"Crack!"
Without Koga saying anything, Crobat flapped its wings and quickly flew to avoid the lightning.
However~
"Pika~~~Qiu!!!"
Pikachu, with full firepower, doesn't care whether you use the [Quick Dodge] dodge skill or not.
Even if the opponent is very fast and flexible, so what?!
Ash taught it a winning move specifically for this kind of situation!
"That's full fire coverage!!"
Ash stretched out his arms and clenched his fists: "Just cover the entire battlefield with Thunderbolt!"
"No matter how hard you dodge, you can't avoid this move!!"
Well, Ash in the original version also used this move.
When challenging Sabrina at the Saffron Gym, I used this tactic against the lazy Yojira who kept dodging.
But unfortunately, Pikachu had not yet evolved into Pikachu at that time.
The lightning with full firepower coverage is not as powerful as Yongjila's Psychic, and is contained by Yongjila's Confusion.
But it must be said that this is a very good combat strategy.
Now Ash puts it into practice, and...
"The current Pikachu's lightning is not something that Normal Pokémon can handle!!"
He looked at Crobat, who was hiding in the field like a headless fly, and his mouth corners gradually rose:
"At least, this Crobat can't do it!"
"Shhh!!"
As Ash finished his words, Crobat's X-shaped body inadvertently swept across a bolt of lightning with its wings.
In an instant, its entire body was enveloped by the Minister of Thunder.
then.
"hill!!!"
All the lightning gathered and hit Crobat head-on!
"Crobat?!!"
Koga's face suddenly changed. Ninja's calmness and composure were gone. He shouted "shit" anxiously.
However, in response to him,...
boom!!
The violent explosion created a cloud of thick smoke in the air.
Crobat's limp purple body was Sky Dropped directly onto the Ground.
Pah.
The mosquito coil's circle of eyes was clearly presented in front of everyone.
"As expected, the enemy was defeated in one move..."
Looking at this scene, Koga let out a long breath.
There was no unexpected surprise in his voice, nor a sigh of defeat.
Some are just a slight sigh and amazement.
"Today's young people really open my eyes..."
Koga's face showed a rare smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Crobat, come back."
After collecting Crobat with the Poké Ball, Koga walked directly towards Ash who was celebrating with Pikachu:
"It seems that my vision is correct. You are indeed the best Trainer I have seen in all these years."
At this moment, his eyes were full of admiration: "This level of excellence is even beyond my expectations!"
"Youth is really something to be feared!!"
Koga reached back and took out a scroll from somewhere.
The scroll opened, revealing a pink heart-shaped badge hanging inside.
"This pink badge is yours."
Koga presented it as proof of victory in the gym challenge: "You are fully qualified to get it.
"Thank you Mr. Koga!"
Ash smiled and thanked him, then took the proof of his strength from the scroll:
"Pink Badge, I got it!!"
"Pika Pika!!"
Each person and each Pikachu once again showed their victory posture.
"This time, I got another Badge!"
"Well, I have collected six badges. I only need two more to participate in the final Alliance Indigo Plateau Conference!!"
Misty and Xiaogang were there and were happy for Ash again, and were always concerned about his progress.
Judging from this trend, there will be absolutely no problem for Ash to attend the Indigo Plateau Conference!
"I also look forward to you achieving great results in the Indigo Plateau Conference.
Koga also gave his blessing when Ash pinned the Badge on his lapel.
"I will try my best~~~"
Ash was very polite and humble and said: "I will try my best to get a higher ranking."
"Reaching the semi-finals is considered a success."
Well, compared to the previous multiple quarterfinals, the four-rope race can indeed be considered a success.
Hmm...why doesn't it count?
Compared to the original Ash, who was always in the top eight every year... ahem, it's already an improvement.
Of course, having said that, Ash's goal this year is not just to be in the top four.
He is already working on the Elite Four's Rival!!
Well, the winner of every Pokémon Alliance competition will have a chance to challenge the Elite Four.
"You are too modest."
Koga smiled and said, "I accept defeat wholeheartedly this time."
"At the Indigo Plateau Conference, you must show your strength to me in this battle, which is almost the same!!"
He has already assumed that Ash is good enough to participate in the Indigo Plateau Conference, and the subsequent Gym Badge Challenge will not be a problem!
"I will, Koga-san!!"
After making promises with Koga, Ash and his crew waved goodbye to the Fuchsia Gym deep in the mountains, wearing pink badges.
They continued their journey again.
"They're great, aren't they?"
After watching Ash and his group walk away, Koga still looked in the direction they left and spoke softly.
"He is indeed much better than me."
My sister Aya beside me also nodded slowly, "So, I have to keep working hard, no, I have to work twice as hard as before!"
"Have you decided?"
Koga didn't look back, but he could sense his sister's firm resolve:
"Well, I plan to go to the Pokémon Ninjutsu Academy to study hard!"
Aya made a solemn decision.
Pokémon Ninjutsu Academy is located in the Johto Region Region. Just from the name you can tell what it is mainly used for.
Many Trainers and their Pokémon come here to learn Ninjutsu.
"X10?b?..."
Koga nodded slightly: "It just so happens that I also graduated from that academy before, and I have quite a few connections there."
"THE..."
Thinking of the invitation from the Pokémon Johto Region Alliance, Koga felt that it was time for him to move.
But one cannot be complacent in cultivation and stay in this isolated environment forever.
His younger sister went to Johto Region, so he went there too, and was able to take better care of her.
What's more, Koga also has a feeling.
He will never miss the excellent Rookie Trainer Ash or the Region Force!
They might have a chance to meet again in Johto Region Region~!!
Ash and his group left the Fuchsia Gym and continued on their way to their next destination.
Of course, there will be scenery, wonderful adventures and opportunities along the way.
Just today, they also came to a special place.
"Beep, Tauros, a bull Pokémon, will feel unhappy if he doesn't Thrash often. When there is no Rival, he will hit the big tree and calm down by knocking the tree down."
The Rotom Pokédex reported the Tauros herd running across the endless grassland ahead.
If you watch it from such a close distance, it is indeed very spectacular.
"This is the first time I've seen so many Tauros..."
Even Xiaogang was surprised by the scale of this.
However, as a Pokémon breeder, he has more concerns:
"To be able to allow so many Tauros to live in groups, they must be living a good life.
"Coupled with this natural environment, this place is..."
"This is a Pokémon sanctuary!"
A beautiful figure riding a flaming horse came galloping over quickly.
"It's the law. It's expressly forbidden to catch Pokémon here. You can't have any bad intentions towards Tauros!!"
Pokémon Sanctuaries are areas where Pokémon can grow normally in nature.
It's similar to the wildlife sanctuary in the previous life.
"If she continues to grow naturally, she will definitely be a great beauty in five years...
Xiao Gang's focus shifted once again to the beautiful figure who was speaking:
"Excuse me, beautiful lady, may I ask your name?
"Hey~!!"
Bang
"xx....7..."
Xiaogang did fall several times in the same place, but he refused to repent and continued to make the same mistake again.
It's really like "I know this will happen, but I will dare to do it next time~"
But Gengar still didn't spoil him, and Gengar even regarded it as his job.
The Poison Jab paralysis meal was served directly, and he was already very familiar with the process.
And I am also happy to do this kind of work~~~
"My name is Lara, Lara Laramie... Uh, is he okay?"
The beautiful figure introduced her identity, and at the same time did not forget to pay attention to the squinty-eyed hedgehog-head who was lying on the ground and twitching.
Although his behavior just now was indeed very rude to her.
"Don't worry about him. We are used to it. He will be fine after a while."
Misty Solaceon waved her hands to indicate that it was nothing. "Your name is Lara Laramie? Laramie..."
"They are the nomadic people of this Pokémon sanctuary, the Laramie."
Lara Laramie explained that she was just about to introduce her tribe when she heard ~
"That's a nation that protects Pokémon from growing in nature..."
Ash smiled and briefly explained this ethnic group, "They are a very simple group of people who care about and love Pokémon."
"That's right!"
Lara Laramie's eyes lit up when she heard such praise for her own people.
At the same time, I also began to like this boy wearing Pikachu.
Well, this is obviously much better than the hedgehog-headed, squinting-eyed guy who looked a bit offensive right from the start!
Xiao Gang, who was lying on the ground and twitching, said: "..."
Then, at Lara Laramie's enthusiastic invitation, she took Ash and his group, who introduced themselves, to visit the entire Pokémon sanctuary.
During this time, they also saw the Tauros tribe living here, the Nidorino tribe being taken care of by the Laramie tribe, the Growlithe who served as the park's guards, and the Ponyta ridden by Lara Laramie...
"Beep, Ponyta, the Fire Horse Pokémon
When you are born, it is very difficult for you to even stand up. But the more you run, the more your waist and legs will be exercised, and your speed will increase accordingly.
Well, just by looking at Ponyta's handsome appearance, you can tell that it was bred very well by Lara Laramie.
"Won't you get hot riding like this?"
Misty couldn't help asking as she looked at Lara Laramie riding on Ponyta's flaming hair.
"Don't worry, Ponyta won't let her fire burn the humans who share the same feelings with her."
Lara Laramie explained, and then she saw Ash holding out his hand to Ponyta:
"Be careful~"
She kindly reminded him: "At the beginning, I was scalded. I have experienced this kind of pain before..."
Lara Laramie paused as she saw with her own eyes Ash reaching out his hand and gently stroking Ponyta's body.
There was no sign of being burned at all.
And her Ponyta also looked very comfortable and enjoying herself at this moment.
She even lowered her head and rubbed against Ash affectionately.
"This is the first time I've seen Ponyta be so friendly and approachable to someone other than me."
Lara Laramie was a little surprised, but Ash just smiled.
"It seems that it likes me very much, too."
His ["Silly Thing" (Gold)] attracts Pokémon and has an extra affinity effect, which is quite powerful.
The praise for the Laramie tribe and Ponyta's closeness made Lara Laramie feel good about Ash and his group.
Or rather, just purely towards Ash.
She warmly invited them to join in the celebration of their Laramie tribe.
And what's more, the Laramie tribe is preparing to have a Pokémon obstacle course race tomorrow.
"We plan to compete for the results of Pokémon's growth through competition."
"If you win the championship, you will be recognized as the most prestigious Pokémon home in the Laramie tribe."
As for the competition, Ash certainly wouldn't miss it.
But~
"Lara, I will definitely win tomorrow's game!!"
A guy wearing green ethnic clothes and with a face that looked like he deserved a beating came here on a Dodrio to show off his power.
"That's not necessarily true!"
Lara was not willing to admit defeat: "Pokémon obstacle races are not won by running fast!!"
"I know, just wait and see!!"
After leaving behind a few hateful words, the man named Doliv rode away on Dodrio.
He and Lara are both strong candidates for the championship of this Pokémon competition.
Especially at night, Ash and his group strolled through the Laramie tribe's celebrations.
Seeing so many people supporting Lara, it can be seen that Lara has a greater chance of winning the championship.
This scene was naturally also seen by Doliv who was observing secretly.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to beat her in a head-on collision, so he could only...
"Lara, something bad has happened to the group of Tauros you're taking care of!!"
Lara's Tauros suddenly rioted and started a fight in the reserve.
After receiving the news, Lara could only go to stop it immediately, but on the way to the settlement.
Lara was suddenly attacked by a mad Tauros and fell off the Ponyta.
"My arm..."
Lara's face was filled with pain, and it was obvious that she had been seriously injured.
"Very good!!"
Seeing this, Doliv, who was hiding in the dark, was delighted. "Look at the injured part of Lara's arm. She won't be able to participate in tomorrow's competition!!"
Dolliver, who had used a trick to make Tauros riot, crossed his arms and looked very pleased with himself:
"This time, I'm sure to win!!"
If you can't defeat Lara head-on, then you can only use some conventional means.
It's like playing chess, sometimes the victory or defeat is not on the board, but outside the board.
"But why didn't the Rockets accept my offer? That's really weird..."
A hint of doubt flashed in Doliv's eyes.
He spotted the three members of Team Rocket sneaking into the Pokémon sanctuary today.
To be exact, it is a man and a woman like a Meowth.
Originally, he had heard of Team Rocket's bad reputation and wanted to hire them to deal with Lara.
Who would have known that the three guys would just shake their heads and refuse, saying they would never agree to anything.
It's like a righteous person who abandons evil and follows good, and is irreconcilable with evil~
Therefore, he had to do these things himself.
Dolliver retreated quietly, but he was unaware of it.
Everything he did had been seen by someone.
At the same time, on the other side.
"Meow, are you kidding? Don't think we didn't see that Stephanie riding Ponyta was very close to that little brat!!"
