Chapter 20

Kanto Town.

Misty: "Incredible, that guy Ash actually became so strong."

The Ash in the video looks at most eleven or twelve years old, which means that in less than two years, Ash went from a rookie trainer who relied on handouts to get badges, relied on recklessness for battles, and didn't know the type chart at all, to a Champion-level trainer.

My god, what happened in these less than two years.

Brock: "The world is truly wonderful."

Besides sighing at the wonder of the world, Brock didn't know what else to say.

Ash: "Hehehe, Pikachu, did you see that? The future me is so handsome!"

Pikachu: "Pika Pika."

After proving that the reward was powerful, the system continued to play the video of the black world.

【Three days after Riolu hatched, Ash could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart. For the past few years, he had been training with wild Pokémon in the forest, and the number of times he had battled with trainers could be counted on one hand, which made Ash not have a very clear understanding of his own strength.】

【So this challenge to Giovanni is an excellent opportunity for Ash to correctly understand himself.】

【After checking the condition of his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center, Ash headed straight to the Viridian Gym.】

【Responsible for checking the trainer's challenge qualifications at the entrance of the Viridian Gym were two burly warriors holding giant axes and wearing armor. As the strongest Gym in Kanto, the B-grade of the Viridian Gym is not low.】

【After confirming Ash's identity, the two warriors hammered the ground heavily with their giant axes, and the gate moved open in response.】

【Gloomy, oppressive, this is Ash's deepest impression of the Viridian Gym; this is definitely not a good place to linger.】

【Walking straight into the battlefield, in the field, the Viridian Gym Leader Giovanni was already waiting.】

【Unlike most Gym layouts, the Gym Leader's seat at the Viridian Gym was arranged on the second floor, with Gym Leader Giovanni crossing his legs and petting a cat (Persian), looking down on the challenger entering the challenge seat from high above.】

In a corner of Kanto Town.

James: "Meowth, that's not right, didn't you say that before joining our Team Rocket, you were the Boss's 'Number One Meowth'?"

Jessie: "Yeah, yeah, didn't you say that you were deeply trusted by the Boss at that time?"

James: "Why is it a Persian that appears in the video?"

Jessie: "Did you lie to us?"

Meowth: "This, this, this."

He didn't say anything after a long time, after all, this lie is really hard to round off.

【"I am the trainer of the Viridian Gym, Giovanni."】

【"I am a trainer from Pallet Town, Ash."】

【"Ash? Is it a rookie trainer who has just started traveling?" Giovanni asked casually.】

【"Yes." Ash nodded.】

【"Heh, a rookie dares to challenge the Viridian Gym. Should I praise your courage? Or mock your stupidity?" Giovanni said with a cold smile.】

【"If I could choose, I would still hope you could praise my courage." Ash replied calmly.】

【Giovanni's hand petting the cat stopped, and he laughed, this time a heartfelt laugh.】

【"Interesting fellow, I hope you can give me a pleasant afternoon."】

【After speaking, Giovanni snapped his fingers, signaling the referee to announce the battle rules for the Viridian Gym.】

【"The number of Pokémon used is within three, there is no time limit, the official match begins." After introducing the rules, the referee rang a bell engraved with a red R.】

【"It's up to you, Pidgeotto." Three Pokémon, Riolu is still a child, its role is only to make up the numbers, it's impossible to send it out, Pikachu is the final trump card, you can't play the trump card at the beginning, so the only starter Pokémon Ash can choose is Pidgeotto.】

【Coincidentally, the Flying-type Pidgeotto can also be immune to Ground-type skills, so using Pidgeotto to lead the charge is just right.】

(Fourth update, there are two more updates before twelve o'clock. There have been no flowers, evaluation tickets, or monthly tickets all day today. Please ask for data, data is very important to the author, thank you everyone.)

32: The beginning of a legend, Pikachu called a monster! (Ask for flowers)

【Ash's idea is good, but he forgot a very important thing. In the Kanto region, Rock and Ground are inseparable. Basically, Ground-type Pokémon are attached with Rock attributes. Ash was taught a lesson.】

【Facing Giovanni's Golem, Dark Ash's Pidgeotto's performance was like a replica of Ash's challenge to the Pewter Gym. Pidgeotto didn't play any role and left the field.】

【"If your strength is only this, then I will be very disappointed." Giovanni's eyelids slowly drooped, and he had already lost interest in this match.】

【I thought I met an interesting teenager, but it turned out to be a reckless youth, which is really disappointing.】

Guzma: "Is this the monster in Professor Oak's mouth? Is Professor Oak senile?!"

Professor Kukui: "Guzma, what are you talking about! Pidgeotto is just a Pokémon Ash just captured, isn't it normal to lose to Giovanni?"

Guzma: "Tch. Do you still think that Ash can turn the tables? Don't forget, the Pokémon he has left is Pikachu."

Will: "I agree with Guzma; the Ash in the black world is going to suffer this time."

Will said gloatingly.

Having been slapped in the face so many times, now it's his turn to slap back one by one.

Cynthia: "Don't be impatient, Professor Oak's vision is still trustworthy. Since he calls Dark Ash a monster, there must be a reason. If you want to slander Professor Oak, it won't be too late to slander after the battle is over."

Guzma: "Hmph, then I'll see how Dark Ash slaps my face!"

【Calmly recalling Pidgeotto into the Poké Ball, Ash's performance towards Giovanni's mockery was also very calm. Pidgeotto's failure was within Ash's expectation. The only thing Ash didn't expect was that it lost too miserably. But it couldn't blame Pidgeotto; the type was countered by Golem, and the level was quite different, so losing was normal.】

【"It's time for you to appear, Pikachu."】

【Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and slowly walked into the battlefield.】

【"Heh, are you kidding me?" Giovanni laughed in anger.】

【First Pidgeotto, then Pikachu, next is it going to be that Ralts? What does this little guy take him, Giovanni, for? The Cerulean sisters?】

【"Golem, Rollout!" Giovanni's voice mixed with anger reached Golem's ears. Feeling the trainer's anger, Golem no longer held back.】

【Curled into a ball, rolling at high speed, Golem's speed at this moment was enough to rival a car speeding on the highway. Once Pikachu is hit by it, it will only have one outcome: "car destroyed and people dead."】

【Calm, terrifyingly calm, whether it was Ash or Pikachu in the center of the battlefield, one person and one Pokémon, just waited expressionlessly for Golem's attack to arrive.】

Guzma: "Scared silly? Our monster was scared silly?"

Watching Guzma frantically courting death in the chat room, Kukui was about to explode.

Did this guy eat gunpowder today? Why does he have to go against Professor Oak?

Professor Oak is a leader in the academic world and also enjoys a very high reputation in the Pokémon League. If Professor Oak stands up and vetoes it, his plan to lead Alola to join the League will become a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, which Kukui cannot accept.

Just as he was about to speak again to reprimand Guzma, the battle on the screen suddenly changed.

【When Golem was about to hit Pikachu, Pikachu inserted its tail into the ground, and with the help of the tail's power, it stood up like a Sentret.】

【Facing Pikachu, which was suddenly a head taller, Golem could only change the target of the attack, changing the original target (body) to the tail.】

【Golem thought it could easily knock Pikachu down like hitting a bowling ball, but what it never expected was that even with all its strength, Pikachu didn't move at all.】

【That lightning-shaped tail inserted into the ground was like a pillar supporting the sky, becoming a chasm that Golem couldn't cross.】

【"Next is our turn to attack." Ash smiled faintly, "Pikachu, flick it away."】

【"Pika Pika."】

【After receiving Ash's order, Pikachu slightly relaxed its tail, making it a curved steel bar, and then it suddenly straightened its tail. The elasticity generated at this moment flicked Golem away.】

【Golem hit the first floor of the Gym Leader's battle seat heavily. The violent collision made Giovanni, who was sitting on the second floor, feel the vibration.】

Volkner: "Does anyone know what this operation is?"

Lt. Surge: "Didn't understand it at all, but I was greatly shocked."

Cynthia: "Ash's Pikachu's tail is too perverted."

Her Garchomp couldn't do this level.

Chairman Goodshow: "Is this the Pokémon that can get a monster evaluation from Professor Oak? It really lives up to its reputation!"

Lance: "Professor Oak's vision is really first-class, convinced, completely convinced."

Professor Kukui: "Guzma, what else do you have to say?"

He, Guzma, has nothing to say.

(Still 1500 flowers away from 10000, I hope everyone can help vote more, monthly tickets are also requested, there is one more update today.)

33: Young man, what are you going to do? Steel-like defense!

Kanto Town.

"Still, still can be like this?"

Live and learn, today Ash learned another trick.

"I learned it, Pikachu, let's try it next time we battle."

"Pikachu?"

Are you serious?

Pikachu looked at Ash with the eyes of looking at a fool.
