Chapter 129

[A moth larva. Its eyes were sky-blue, and its head was surrounded by five slightly curved red antennae. It had three pairs of black legs, its head and upper body were covered in white fluff, and its lower body was brown.]

[Larvesta.]

[A super rare Pokémon from the Unova region.]

[It is said that Larvesta inhabits the foot of volcanoes. In the past, it was called the larva that stole the sun. People in the past believed its nest was on the sun and considered it a Pokémon born from the sun, once worshipped as a messenger of the sun, but it was alienated by people because it often caused forest fires.]

Alder: "It really is Larvesta?"

Alder couldn't hold it together at this moment; why did he choose Entei? He should have chosen Larvesta!

Diantha: "Nice! Ash!"

Luckily, she wasn't bewitched by Alder and stuck to her first choice; otherwise, she would be crying to death right now.

[Ding! The top three in this prize-winning quiz are Ash, Diantha, and a vacancy.]

[Congratulations to the two participants for winning rewards!!!]

[Participant Ash, reward: Gatomon. (PS: A mysterious creature from the Digital World, its evolved form is Angewomon.)]

[Participant Diantha, reward: Fairyium Z, Z-Ring.]

(Second update, there should be more.)

123: Gatomon said, in front of sexiness, cuteness is worthless!

Lance: "Gatomon? It comes from the same world as the Agumon Ash obtained last time."

Bruno: "No, isn't this Ash completely taking off now?!"

How awesome WarGreymon is, Bruno still remembers vividly. Gatomon's evolved form doesn't even need to be as powerful as WarGreymon; as long as it has 80% of WarGreymon's strength, it's definitely a trump card.

Hiss.

Various phantom Pokémon, legendary Pokémon, and Pokémon from other worlds; Ash is now like someone holding four twos and a trump card in a game of Fight the Landlord; he simply doesn't know how to lose.

If he continues to grow normally, in at most two years, Ash will probably be invincible.

Terrifying, simply terrifying.

Steven: "Gatomon, Angewomon; why do these names sound a bit indecent?"

Wallace: "You're the one who's indecent! What's indecent about the name Angewomon?"

Diantha: "It must be a Pokémon as cute as Gardevoir. Sigh, what a pity, the one who got Gatomon wasn't me. By the way, can anyone tell me what a Z-Crystal is used for?"

Professor Kukui: "Z-Crystals can be used to unleash Z-Moves. As for the power of Z-Moves, I guarantee that once you use one, you will fall in love with it."

Kanto town.

"Great, great, I got Gatomon!"

Ash excitedly lifted the newly obtained Gatomon.

"Meow."

Unlike Agumon, Gatomon's personality seemed very cold; it didn't seem to have any interest in being lifted high, just looking at Ash with indifferent eyes.

"Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika?" (Why does it look not happy at all?)

"Agu." (This guy is just like that.)

Agumon shrugged and said.

"What a cute little kitty; it will definitely become even cuter after it evolves."

Misty said while petting Gatomon.

Cute?

Gatomon smiled.

In front of sexiness, cuteness is worthless. Just wait, after it evolves, it will stun the whole audience!

["That's how it is."]

[Back at the Trainer School, Ash told his partners everything that had happened.]

[Upon learning that Ash had received a bunch of benefits from Entei, everyone couldn't help but show envious expressions.]

[When would they be able to be like Ash, having people give them gifts wherever they went!]

["So this is Larvesta, what a cute little guy." Erika took Larvesta from Ash's arms and began to stroke it gently.]

["Let me touch it too!" Casey squeezed in, wanting to feel Larvesta's texture.]

[Only Misty kept backing away. Another bug, and a moth at that; Misty expressed that she couldn't accept it.]

[Early the next morning, the five of them traveled together to the Violet Gym.]

[After hearing their intentions, Gym Leader Falkner took them to the top of the building, which was the Violet Gym's battle field, a sky battle field designed specifically for Flying-type Pokémon.]

Brock: "The more I look, the angrier I get. We're all Gym Leaders, why is Falkner so rich!!!"

Thinking of their Pewter Gym and looking at the Violet Gym, which owned an entire building, Brock almost cried.]

Blaine: "Yeah, yeah, we're all Gym Leaders, why do we live so poorly and have to find side jobs to support ourselves."

Daisy: "We haven't received the League's subsidy for several months. If it weren't for selling tickets for water ballet, we probably would have gone to the streets to beg for food."

Violet: "Chairman, when will our Gym's subsidy be issued?"

Chairman Goodshow: "Subsidy? Heh, wait until your Cerulean Gym can get rid of the title of the number one weakling Gym in Kanto before you come to me for a subsidy!"

He hadn't revoked the Cerulean Gym's qualifications, which was already giving them face; asking him for money was really being ungrateful.]

Chairman Goodshow: "Also, the Pewter Gym's subsidy is issued on time by the League. Why do you live so poorly? Look for the reasons within yourselves!!!"

Growing boys eat their parents out of house and home; the Pewter Gym has nine such boys, it would be strange if they were rich.]

As for the Cinnabar Gym, he didn't even want to mention it; the total number of challengers in a year is less than 20. For such a Gym, him issuing the minimum subsidy is already giving Blaine face; if it were anyone else, he would have ordered it closed.]

[Brock, Misty, Casey, and Erika had already walked out of the elevator. Just as Ash was about to follow, Falkner called him.]

[Just when Ash thought Falkner had something important to tell him, Falkner said in an envious tone: "Ash, you're really amazing, to actually be able to handle Erika."]

[As the young lady of Celadon City, Erika was very popular. Although Falkner hadn't actively pursued Erika, he had a very good impression of her in his heart.]

[Who would have thought that such a young lady from a wealthy family would be taken by Ash.]

["It's not what you think." Ash wanted to explain.]

[Who knew Falkner would give Ash a look and smile mysteriously: "I understand, I understand, keep it a secret."]

["I am a trainer from New Bark Town, Casey." Challenging a Gym for the first time, Casey was so nervous that even her voice was trembling.]

[Falkner also heard Casey's nervousness and comforted her softly: "A rookie trainer, right? Hahaha, don't be nervous; just treat it as an ordinary roadside battle."]

[Under Falkner's comfort, Casey gradually eased her nervousness. She took a deep breath and took a Poké Ball from her pocket, "Go, Pidgeotto."]

[The first Pokémon Casey caught during her journey was Pidgey; after traveling for this period, it had already evolved into Pidgeotto.]

[Falkner, a bird lover, was very happy to see Pidgeotto; Casey won his approval instantly.]

["Then my partner is this one, go, Doduo."]

Lorelei: "It's here, the walking chicken is here. By the way, Lance, how is your supreme version of the walking chicken doing now?"

Lance: "Do you want to try it? My Zapdos will definitely give you a 'surprise'!"

Diantha: "Lance, I suggest you don't be too arrogant. Your supreme version of the walking chicken is also a Flying-type Pokémon; it might not be able to beat Lorelei's Articuno."

Steven: "Might not be able to beat? It definitely won't be able to beat!!!"

Lorelei is less of a Dragon-type killer and more of a Flying-type killer; she is excellent at fighting Flying-type Pokémon. The supreme version of the walking chicken will definitely not get any favors in Lorelei's hands.]

Lance: "Damn it!!!"

When will he, Lance of Kanto, be able to stand tall!]

[Although Casey is a rookie, don't forget that she has been training with Ash during this time.]

[At the beginning of the battle, Casey was still a bit nervous, but as the battle progressed, Casey suddenly realized that Gym Leaders didn't seem to be anything special. Falkner's Doduo was no match for her Pidgeotto at all.]

["Pidgeotto, give it the final Aerial Ace."]

[After one Aerial Ace strike completely knocked Doduo down, Casey's confidence soared.]

["Alright, let's win in one go!"]

[Casey's old habit flared up again. Having won a battle, Casey took off the baseball bat replica she wore around her neck and hummed a song excitedly.]

["Haha, what a vibrant girl."]

[Falkner didn't think Casey's behavior was impolite; instead, he found her very interesting.]

Chairman Goodshow: "Sure enough, it was the right choice to make Falkner the first Gym in the Johto region."

The first Gym, as the name suggests, is the first-priority Gym recommended for challengers to challenge.]

To become the leader of the first Gym, one's temper must be gentle; only in this way can rookie trainers experience the fun of battling.]

Teaching ability is also very important; only then can rookies grow quickly during Gym challenges.]
