Chapter 111: Black Satoshi was careless, didn't dodge!

After having a battle with Xiao Ying, Ash and his companions resumed their journey, heading to Lychee Island.

He heard that the Lychee Gym had double battle rules.

Ash was also curious, so he immediately went to challenge it.

This was still his first time seeing a gym with double battle rules.

He hadn't encountered such a gym in the Kanto region; this time going to challenge it was a good chance to see the rapport between his Pokémon.

Lychee Island was not far away, and the Riding Dragon quickly swam there.

Team Rocket was worried about repairing their machine and didn't come to Lychee Island to cause trouble.

They smoothly arrived at the Lychee Gym, got straight to the point, and found the gym leader Luli.

On the way, they saw the gym's Pokémon training with the latest equipment.

This gym was more luxurious than they imagined.

Following gym leader Luli, they came to the battlefield.

"During the match, each side uses two Pokémon simultaneously; if one Pokémon can't battle, that side loses."

After hearing the gym leader's rules, Ash started thinking about which Pokémon to send out.

No more talk, they quickly entered the battle phase.

Gym leader Luli sent out Hu Ground and Clack Clack, while Ash sent out Charizard and Wonder Frog Seed.

At the start, Wonder Frog Seed jumped onto Charizard's back.

Charizard carried Wonder Frog Seed and flew above, while Clack Clack waved its bone club, hurling it forcefully into the air; however, due to Charizard's astonishing speed, the bone club could only trace an arc in midair before spinning back into Clack Clack's hand.

Hu Ground also refused to yield, using strong psychic power to lock onto Charizard, but Charizard's agile dodge made Hu Ground's attack miss as well.

Wonder Frog Seed steadily stood on Charizard's back, binding it with vines, allowing itself to maintain balance during high-speed flight.

Only seeing Wonder Frog Seed spread its leaves, sharp flying leaves fell like raindrops, forming a dense flying leaf blade attack. Although these flying leaves weren't always precisely aimed, Wonder Frog Seed, thanks to its astonishing attack frequency, made the flying leaf blades almost cover the entire battlefield.

Faced with this sky-covering flying leaf blade attack, Clack Clack and Hu Ground were at a loss. Although they tried to block the attacks in their own ways, the number of flying leaves was simply too many and too fast; they could only watch helplessly as they were ruthlessly hit.

The coordination between Wonder Frog Seed and Charizard became increasingly seamless, their attacks growing stronger. Meanwhile, Clack Clack and Hu Ground gradually lost their ability to resist amidst the sky-full of flying leaf blades.

"This combo move is awesome!"

Brock was about to start recording, "Double battles are played like this, right!"

Celebi looked like fun, and it also wanted to go over and play.

Misty greatly admired Ash's imagination.

"I lost!"

Luli was convinced, this new challenger gave her a lesson, such double battles!

"Wonder Frog Seed, Charizard!"

Ash hugged Wonder Frog Seed, patted Charizard, and laughed, "Great, we won!"

【Luli: I never thought of this fighting style!】

【Ma Zhishi: Not only did you not think of it, I didn't either!】

【Xiba: I didn't even think of it.】

【Kenan: Xiba, it's normal that you didn't think of it; Black Satoshi's imagination is huge.】

【Da Ye: With so many flying leaf blades, you could pile them up and still die; Charizard flies so fast that Hu Ground and Clack Clack can't launch effective attacks—just say Black Satoshi is too good at playing!】

Black World—

After obtaining the Luli Badge, Ash and his group headed to the venue of the Orange League tournament; coincidentally, they noticed a change in the weather, and just then Xiao Mei happened to pass by, letting Ash's group board the ship.

"How did the nice weather turn out like this?"

Looking ahead at the dark clouds, coupled with the fierce storm, Misty felt a hint of unease, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

Ash too, inexplicably felt uneasy; his wave-sense picked up the emotions of the surrounding Pokémon, as if something major had happened.

But Ash couldn't dwell on it; the weather worsened, and their rented yacht was forced ashore on Asia Island.

Here, Ash saw the strangely dressed residents, and those residents were also looking at them.

After a little time getting to know each other, Ash was also considered a legendary trainer, said to be able to go and resolve this terrible weather.

Ash said he could help them, but how should he help?

And the festival's maiden—Fulala—came forward to look at Ash, examining him carefully.

Seeing Ash's anxious expression, Fulala stepped forward and kissed his cheek.

Having been kissed like that, Ash was dazed; it was the first time a girl had kissed him.

"Ah?"

Misty was instantly startled, eyes wide open; this girl was so bold, she had thought she would come forward to clearly tell Ash how to solve the bad weather, but she never expected Fulala to actually kiss Ash.

She gazed at Ash wistfully.

Brock was also startled; looking at the spiky-haired, speechless Misty, he thought, "Surely nothing will happen!"

"This is a long-standing custom."

Fulala acted nonchalant, but it was her first kiss; as maiden she had never encountered such a situation before.

"Um..."

Ash also didn't know what to say, his expression complex.

Tracey hurriedly had Ash's group join the banquet, explaining clearly how to resolve the bad weather.

【Ma Zhishi: By the way, Black Satoshi has wave-sense, so Fulala's move should be avoidable, right? I think Black Satoshi deliberately didn't dodge, just like White Satoshi!】

【Ash: Uncle, why are you talking about me again!】

【Xiluona: Probably not; I see Black Satoshi's attention is fully on how to solve that bad weather problem, so he didn't notice Fulala's move.】

【Yinghua: Hmm, the only thing unchanged is that Misty is still jealous on the side!】
