Chapter 193: Goldenrod City Gym Challenge
"Actually, I have sothing I’d like to ask of you, Whitney," Ash said earnestly.
Looking at Ash’s serious expression, Whitney asked in confusion: "What is it?"
"The purpose of our coming to Goldenrod City is actually to challenge the Goldenrod Gym, so Whitney, I would like to challenge you."
"So that’s why! No wonder your Pikachu and Eevee are trained so well. Turns out you’re a traveling Trainer, Ash! Since you treated to a al, I’ll accept this Gym challenge!"
Whitney had assud Ash and his friends were just ordinary tourists. She hadn’t expected them to be here to challenge the Gym, which really caught her off guard.
"Wait~ Whitney, you’re a Gym Leader too?"
Misty and Brock only just realized this.
"Also?" Whitney caught the keyword. She looked at Misty and Brock suspiciously and asked: "Could it be that so of you are Gym Leaders too?"
"Well, my family runs the Cerulean Gym. Right now, it’s being managed by my older sisters, but they don’t have any intention of being Gym Leaders long-term, so..."
With her own family’s Gym being managed in such a ss, Misty was a bit embarrassed to admit that she would inherit it in the future.
"My family runs the Pewter Gym. I’m currently traveling to beco the world’s number one Pokémon Breeder. The Gym is now managed by my father and my younger brother, Jas," Brock replied readily.
"Ah~ So you’re colleagues from the Kanto region! I really envy you guys for being able to travel. After my grandfather handed the Gym over to , he just disappeared. It’s made it so I can’t leave Goldenrod City for too long," Whitney said with so envy.
However, her last sentence made Ash feel that it wasn’t that she couldn’t leave for too long, but rather that she herself was terrible with directions. If she went too far from ho, whether she could find her way back was another question entirely.
Inside the Goldenrod Gym.
"The match between Ash from Pallet Town and Gym Leader Whitney of the Goldenrod Gym, with a Gym Badge as the wager, now begins! Each side will use three Pokémon," the referee announced according to custom.
"Ash, I won’t go easy on you!" Whitney warned.
Ash smiled. "That’s exactly what I want. Whitney, use your true level!"
"First, go, Nidorina."
Whitney sent out an Excellent-Advanced level Nidorina.
"Nidorina, huh? Alright, Noctowl, I choose you!"
Ash chose the Noctowl he had recently caught.
"Wow, a Shiny Noctowl? It looks well-trained too. Its golden feathers are really pretty," Whitney praised.
"Nidorina, use Poison Sting!"
"Nino-nino~"
Nidorina opened her mouth and spat out a large amount of white energy poison needles.
"Noctowl, use Psychic!"
Noctowl twisted its neck, its eyes flashed with a red light, and then a powerful Psychic force suddenly erupted.
The Poison Sting spat out by Nidorina was scattered in mid-air by this powerful Psychic force.
Even Nidorina was directly incapacitated after being hit by this Psychic.
"Nidorina is unable to battle. Noctowl wins!" the referee shouted.
"This Noctowl has such strong Psychic-type moves! It seems I can’t let my guard down. Clefairy, it’s your turn!"
After recalling Nidorina, Whitney sent out her Clefairy.
"Clefairy, use trono!"
trono involves waving your finger to stimulate your brain, randomly executing any move. This skill relies heavily on luck. If you’re lucky, you can get a god-tier skill; if you’re unlucky, it might be trash.
Ash frowned slightly and warned: "Noctowl, be careful!"
Noctowl flexibly twisted its neck, its eyes fixed on Clefairy’s every move.
However, a dramatic scene occurred.
Clefairy’s finger glowed with a white light as trono activated, and then it started jumping up and down continuously.
Whitney was stunned when she saw this. "Alright, that’s Magikarp’s Splash~"
"Good opportunity, Noctowl, use Psychic."
Before Noctowl could attack, Whitney shouted: "This won’t work, co back quickly, Clefairy!"
Upon hearing this, Clefairy ran directly into Whitney’s arms.
Whitney comforted it: "Good, good girl, you worked hard this ti, Clefairy."
Referee: "Clefairy has lost the will to fight. Noctowl wins!"
"Isn’t this process a bit too codic?" Misty said.
"trono is a skill that relies on luck to begin with. Every ti this skill is activated, it’s full of uncertainty. I think Whitney had already anticipated this," Brock said.
"I wonder what Pokémon Whitney will bring out next to deal with Ash."
Misty looked at Whitney curiously.
After comforting Clefairy, Whitney straightened her expression, took out a Pokémon ball, and said to Ash: "Ash, I’m going to get serious now. Go, Miltank!"
[Pokémon: Miltank]
[Type: Normal]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: Gym Advanced]
[Ability: Thick Fat (Because it is protected by thick fat, the damage from Fire-type and Ice-type moves is halved.)]
[Potential: Elite]
[Moves: Rollout, Tackle, Defense Curl, Heal Bell...]
"Finally going to get serious? Noctowl, fly up."
Hearing Ash’s command, Noctowl flapped its wings and flew up.
"Miltank, use Rollout!"
Miltank curled its body into a wheel shape and began to roll at an extrely fast speed.
"Noctowl, aim at Miltank’s side and use Air Cutter!" Ash shouted.
Noctowl circled around Miltank a few tis, waited for the right mont, and fanned two sharp Air Cutters at the high-speed rolling Miltank.
Before these two Air Cutters could hit Miltank, they were blocked by the airflow generated by its high-speed rolling.
"Ash, the side is a good attacking direction, but relying solely on weak attacks won’t be able to interrupt Miltank’s Rollout move," Whitney reminded with a smile.
Her Miltank had been trained since it was small. This high-speed Rollout technique was sothing she had corrected countless tis, and Miltank had practiced desperately to achieve its current power.
It certainly couldn’t be unbalanced by a re Air Cutter.
Ash also knew that what the other party said was the truth. If his Noctowl’s level were higher than Miltank’s, it might have had a chance, but unfortunately, Noctowl’s level was still not enough.
"Return, Noctowl."
Seeing Ash recall Noctowl, Whitney asked sowhat triumphantly: "What Pokémon are you going to use next?"
"If the side doesn’t work, then I’ll just have to break through from the front. I choose you, Heracross!"
"Kuluo~"
Heracross was full of montum the mont it entered the field.
"Miltank, continue using Rollout!"
Seeing Ash’s choice, Whitney also imdiately called for Miltank to launch an attack.
"Heracross, Super Evolution!" Ash took out the key stone without any hesitation.
With a flash of light, ga Heracross made a brilliant entrance.
"Eh?! What is this thing? Heracross can evolve again?" Whitney looked at Ash in confusion.
