What?!
Was sothing wrong with his ears?
Wasn't Ash's Charmander supposed to be the one he had taken in?
Sam stared at Ash in shock, his mouth slightly open.
Brock didn't understand why Sam was reacting so strongly to the news, but he still explained kindly,
"Ash was really lucky. He actually ran into a wild Charmander during his journey."
A wild Charmander… I see.
Sam shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say anymore. In the end, he could only sigh at the terrifying power of the protagonist's luck.
"Battling is fine," Sam said with a smile. "My Charmander hasn't fought in a while either."
He was also genuinely curious about the strength of Ash's Charmander, so he readily agreed to the challenge.
"Great!!!"
When Ash heard Sam accept, he nearly jumped into the air with excitent. To him, nothing in the world was more thrilling than a Pokémon battle.
Seeing Ash's blood boil with excitent, Misty imdiately poured cold water on him.
"Don't get too excited, Ash. If you get carried away, you won't even finish the match once you lose."
"No problem, no problem!" Ash said proudly.
"I've already earned two Badges!"
Watching Ash puff himself up again, both Brock and Misty were left speechless.
Others might not know, but you should know better. How exactly did you get those two Badges?
"Then I'll be the referee," Brock said, stepping forward to take the role.
Looking at Ash's smug expression, Brock secretly hoped Sam would teach him a proper lesson—one that would remind Ash that his strength wasn't enough to make him complacent.
Ash had won many battles recently, but in Brock's eyes, there was nothing to be proud of.
Most of the Trainers Ash had defeated were beginners who had just started traveling, and so hadn't even properly set out yet.
Winning against opponents like that didn't an much.
Brock and Misty both understood this clearly, but Ash had obviously grown overconfident after his winning streak.
They were worried, yet too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Today finally gave Brock the perfect opportunity—an opportunity to completely wake Ash up.
This opponent was different from the weak Trainers Ash had faced before.
Sam would make Ash realize the gap between them.
Did Ash know how strong Sam really was?
Yes, he did.
But blinded by consecutive victories, Ash believed that even if Sam was strong, he wasn't weak either.
Besides, both of them were using Charmander—Pokémon they had only recently caught. Ash didn't think he would lose.
"Then it's your turn, Charmander!"
Ash shouted enthusiastically as he threw his Poké Ball.
"Detective Eye."
[Pokémon]: Charmander
[Type]: Fire
[Strength]: Ordinary mid-level
[Potential]: Elite
The protagonist's luck was truly terrifying—he could encounter Pokémon with elite potential at any ti. Unfortunately, he didn't always know how to make proper use of them.
"Char!!!"
The mont Ash's Charmander entered the field, it stared at Sam's Charmander with burning fighting spirit.
Just like its Trainer, its recent string of victories had made it unable to properly judge its own strength.
Sam stretched lazily and looked at Ash and his Charmander with a faint smile.
Today, he would teach Ash a lesson.
"It's your turn, Charmander."
Sam's Charmander, which had been waiting impatiently for a long ti, finally heard the call it had been longing for.
It opened its mouth wide and stepped onto the battlefield, one step at a ti. Everyone present could feel the excitent surging from it.
It was clear—it had been waiting for this battle for a long ti.
"Is that… Charcoal?"
Brock's sharp eyes imdiately spotted the item hanging around Sam's Charmander's neck.
His eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Such a precious item, given directly to Charmander… this guy really trusted his Pokémon.
Neither Brock, who was acting as referee, nor Ash, who was facing Sam, raised any objections.
After all, Pokémon carrying items in battle was completely normal—even official tournants allowed it.
Both sides were ready.
Brock raised his hand and announced the start of the match.
"Charmander, use Ember!" Ash attacked aggressively as always.
"Charmander, dodge it—then move in," Sam replied calmly.
He had no intention of using Fire-type moves as well. Fire resistance between Fire-types was high, and Sam wasn't foolish enough to choose that approach.
"Honestly… Ash is still this reckless."
Misty covered her face, unable to watch.
Using Fire-type moves against another Fire-type Pokémon—seriously, Ash?!
