Chapter 111
【Under Luana's introduction, everyone learned that she is not only the Gym Leader of the Kumquat Gym but also the owner of the most famous hotel and restaurant on Kumquat Island. Her Dragon Hotel is very popular with tourists.】
【A skyscraper twenty stories high. When Luana brought Ash and the others to her hotel, Ash, Misty, and Brock were all shocked.】
【This is definitely the most luxurious hotel they have stayed in since they started traveling.】
Ash: "Really want to go to Kumquat Island quickly; I have never stayed in such a luxurious hotel."】
They have always been traveling on a budget, and they rarely even stay in hotels; usually, accommodation problems are solved at the Pokémon Center.】
Used to youth hostels, Ash also wants to experience a five-star hotel occasionally.】
Misty: "Although it's the second time I've seen it, I still can't help but exclaim. Miss Luana is truly amazing!"】
A woman, not only became the Gym Leader of the Kumquat Gym but also became the president of such a large hotel; Luana is definitely a strong woman among strong women.】
Brock: "Then what are we waiting for? After the quiz is over, let's set off immediately!!!"】
Ash: "Set off? Hey, Brock, did you forget that we have more important things to do?"】
Misty: "We are here to participate in the Indigo League, you idiot!!!"】
Luana: "It doesn't matter, after the Indigo League is over, Ash, Misty, you can come again; then I will take you around Kumquat Island properly."】
Brock: "Hey? Not me?"】
【Gym, hot springs, delicious food, Luana didn't hide anything and took Ash and the others to enjoy all the features of the Dragon Hotel.】
【"Sister Luana is a good person."】
【Under Luana's continuous sugar-coated shells, even Misty's impression of Luana has greatly improved.】
【Soon it was the next day. Early the next morning, led by the hotel staff, the three arrived at the Kumquat Gym's battlefield.】
【Gym Leader Luana had been waiting here for a long time.】
【"Ash, unlike other gyms in the Orange Islands, our Kumquat Gym uses a two-on-two mode. When both Pokémon lose their ability to battle, the match is declared over." Luana carefully explained the battle rules of the Kumquat Gym.】
【"Hmm, I know, Sister Luana." Ash nodded.】
Lorelei: "Sister Luana? The form of address changed too fast, right? Wasn't it Gym Leader Luana yesterday?"】
Diantha: "No way, no one can withstand the offensive of a rich woman."】
Cynthia: "Rich woman? Are you talking about yourself?"】
Diantha: "Ah, you saw through it; we still wanted to cover up my identity as a rich woman."】
Cynthia: "..."】
【Ash already knew about the challenge rules of the Kumquat Gym yesterday. He even specifically called other Pokémon from Professor Oak's lab; he was fully prepared.】
【"My Pokémon are them, go, Marowak, Alakazam."】.
112: What?! Luana ambushed Dark Ash? (Please subscribe!)
Like when battling Ash, the Pokémon Luana used were also Alakazam and Marowak.】
【"Alakazam and Marowak, huh." Ash thought for a moment and made his choice. "Go, Charizard, Venusaur."】
Ash: "Charizard and Venusaur? Not Pikachu?"】
Misty: "Pikachu? Are you kidding? Do you want Miss Luana to die?"】
Dark Ash's Pikachu can even beat Lorelei's Pokémon; it's already a Heavenly King-level Pokémon. If it plays, Charizard doesn't even need to make a move; just watch the show and clap on the side.】
Steven: "I don't know if Dark Ash is proficient in double battles. Double battles are completely different from single battles. If the cooperation between the two Pokémon is not tacit enough, it is very likely that one plus one is less than two."】
Lance: "It's okay, in the face of absolute strength, there is no distinction between double and single battles. If Dark Ash is not confident in the tacit understanding between Charizard and Venusaur, just let each one face one Pokémon, simplifying the double battle into two single battles is OK."】
Wallace: "Don't say, this is really a way. Charizard and Venusaur's respective strength is definitely above Alakazam and Marowak, so in this way, this game is won."】
Dawn: "But this loses the meaning of double battles; I don't think Dark Ash will do this."】
【"Okay, then the game is about to start." Luana smiled slightly and started the attack directly.】
【"Go, Marowak, use Throw on Charizard."】
【"Alakazam, your target is Venusaur, use Psybeam."】
【Luana gave attack commands to the two Pokémon in an orderly manner.】
【After arranging attack tasks for the two Pokémon one after another, Luana looked at Ash; she really wanted to know how Ash would deal with her attack.】
【Luana originally thought that Ash, who had never been exposed to double battles, would be in a mess at the beginning of the battle, but what she didn't expect was that Ash performed very calmly.】
【He didn't act in a hurry, but only gave commands when Marowak and Alakazam launched an attack.】
【"Charizard, hide behind Venusaur, use Sunny Day."】
【Ash attaches great importance to weather-type skills; not only did Charizard learn Sunny Day, but even Pikachu and Venusaur also learned it.】
【With Venusaur as a thick wall for protection, Charizard can open the weather without distraction.】
【Marowak's bone club hit Venusaur's face, but Venusaur didn't make a sound.】
【After the bone club attack ended, Alakazam's Psybeam also came. At this time, Ash also gave the second command.】
【"Venusaur, Protect."】
Steven: "Who said Dark Ash wouldn't do double battles? This cooperation, I'm going, did Dark Ash specifically come to our Hoenn to study double battles?"】
Wallace: "It's you."】
Steven: "..."】
Cynthia: "Letting Venusaur resist the throw that doesn't cause much damage to it, and Protect is used to defend against Alakazam's Psybeam; Dark Ash's thinking is too clear."】
Just a small test, Cynthia praised Ash's performance. Even if she played this game herself, her performance couldn't be better than Dark Ash's.】
Dark Ash's operation is too delicate.】
【"You have some skills." Luana also didn't expect that Marowak and Alakazam's attack would return without success. She collected her emotions and prepared to start the second round of attacks.】
【"My turn isn't over yet." Ash smiled faintly and pointed to the sky.】
【Dazzling light shone from the sky onto the battlefield, and a fireball circled in the sky, constantly injecting solar energy into the battlefield.】
【"It's our turn to attack."】
【"Charizard, Fire Blast, target is Alakazam."】
【"Venusaur, Solar Beam, aim at Marowak for me."】
【"Bad!" Luana secretly thought it was bad.】
【Marowak is a Ground-type Pokémon; if it is hit by Solar Beam, there is definitely no chance of "survival."】
【She hurriedly let Marowak take action. "Take Down, interrupt Venusaur's Solar Beam."】
【"Alakazam, let's use Protect!"】
【"Too naive."】
【Ash shook his head; the outcome was decided.】
【Marowak had only rushed for two seconds, and it was still five or six meters away from Venusaur, when Venusaur's Solar Beam started.】
【The terrifying Grass-type energy instantly swallowed Marowak.】
【On the other side, Charizard's Fire Blast and the protective shield summoned by Alakazam collided.】
【After a burst of crackling glass shattering sounds, Alakazam fell to the ground.】
【?????????】
【"What happened?"】
【Luana was confused; the game is over? Her two Pokémon lost their ability to battle in an instant? What exactly happened?!"】
【"Why is Venusaur's Solar Beam firing speed so fast? Why is Charizard's Fire Blast so powerful?!" Luana frowned, completely not understanding what was going on.】
【Ash smiled and replied: "Hasn't the answer already been told to you?"】
【He pointed to the sky again.】
Leon: "Sunny Day. Under Sunny Day, the power of Charizard's Fire-type skills increased by 50%. As for why Venusaur's Solar Beam firing speed is so fast, it is also because of Sunny Day; under Sunny Day, the charging time of Solar Beam will be greatly reduced."】
Dawn: "Is this a double battle? Barry, why is it a bit different from our double battles."】
Barry: "I, how do I know!"】
Cynthia: "Dark Ash is indeed a tactical master. Charizard and Venusaur's levels are not much different from Luana's Alakazam and Marowak, but relying on tactics, Dark Ash took the game in a crushing posture."】
Diantha: "Got it, next time I meet Dark Ash, I must not double battle with him."】
Bruno: "Lance, abdicate and let the virtuous, I support Dark Ash to be our person in charge, I want to learn double battles with him!"】
Lance: "..."】
【Seeing that Luana couldn't walk out of the failure for a long time and was still in confusion, Ash hurriedly stepped forward to enlighten her.】
【"Sister Luana's Alakazam and Marowak cooperate very tacitly; it can be seen that Sister Luana has put a lot of thought into double battles."】
【Luana nodded slightly. That's for sure; the feature of the Kumquat Gym is double battles, and the daily special training content of her Pokémon is basically for double battles.】
【Ash continued: "Alakazam and Marowak cooperate very tacitly, but I didn't see any tactics from them; what was shown in the battle was only tacit understanding."】
