Chapter 115: Winning the Victory Cup of the Orange League, setting Dragonair free!
【Xiao Jian: The crisis has been resolved, but what about that collector who specializes in catching the Legendary Birds? Why haven't I seen him?】
【Ma Zhishi: Not being able to see him is also a good thing.】
No need to say it too clearly, that guy was with the airship; he probably escaped......
【Fulala: Yeah, we need to thank Ash!】
【Ash: Haha, no need for thanks, after all back then I was the only one who met the condition of being an excellent Trainer, so exerting some effort is only natural!】
【Musashi: Tch, still putting on airs.】
【Ash: Cough cough, Team Rocket also pitched in; speaking of which, it feels like the first time I've saved the world together with Team Rocket, whether in the black-and-white world, it all feels very surreal!】
【Kojiro: That shows we have big ambitions!】
【Brock:.......】
【Xiaoxia:.......】
【Xiao Jian:.......】
Black Light Screen dimmed, White Light Screen lit up.
Ash can finally challenge the Orange League.
The Orange League only requires Trainers to, after obtaining four Badges, challenge the Chief Trainer located on Citrus Island; upon success they can obtain the Victory Cup and become an Honorary Trainer.
The first round was Pikachu versus Yongci's Ditto.
It can be said to be a duel between Pikachu and Pikachu; Pikachu still found it somewhat difficult to fight this Ditto, but eventually defeated it.
The second round was Squirtle versus Onix.
Facing a type disadvantage, Yongci specifically boosted Onix's speed, relying on digging holes to dodge attacks, then wrapped around Squirtle.
With a type advantage, plus Squirtle having learned Water Cannon, he could not fully control Squirtle; finally he supplemented with Rocket Hammer to defeat Onix.
The third round was Tauros versus Gengar.
Tauros was thrown into confusion by Gengar.
Then Ash switched to Dragonair, after which both simultaneously lost battling ability.
In the first half, Ash held the advantage; the terrain changed from the original rocky ground to a desert-type field.
In the second half, Yongci sent out Venusaur, while Ash's Tauros was fierce and strongly defeated Venusaur.
Afterwards was Ash's Charizard versus Yongci's Electabuzz; one Earth Throw defeated Electabuzz; looking back at Charizard's Earth Throw, almost no Pokémon can withstand Charizard's Earth Throw.
Yongci's last Pokémon was Dragonite.
And Dragonite instantly achieved a three-for-one, consecutively defeating Charizard, Squirtle, and Tauros.
Water Gun, Ice Beam, Body Slam, Dragon Rage, 100,000 Volts, Mount Tai Press, Thunderbolt......
The moves are truly many, the attack range is broad!
【Brock: Dragonite actually learned this many moves?】
【Yongci: Trainers facing the challenge are all different; we need to learn more moves to cope, after all Dragonite is my trump card, so the attack range must be broad.】
【Yulongdu: Dragonite has been raised well!】
【Ash: This is the first time I've encountered a Pokémon that learned so many moves; back then I was a bit panicked, but my Pokémon are all strong, and I defeated Dragonite.】
Finally, it was the battle between Pikachu and Dragonite.
Pikachu avoided Dragonite's destructive ray with its tail, jumped onto Dragonite's head, used Thunderbolt, and thus defeated Dragonite.
The battle ended, Ash won!
Ash became an Honorary Trainer of the Orange League and obtained the Victory Cup.
After challenging the Orange League, Ash and his party came near Ponkan Island and encountered a group of wild Dragonair.
Xiao Jian inferred that this group of wild Dragonair were the partners of Ash's Dragonair.
But those Dragonair paid no attention to Ash and his group, and even refused to let them find them.
Returning to the island to find Professor Oak, together with Officer Junsha explaining the situation, Ash then learned it was due to the Poaching Gang.
The Poaching Gang had been capturing Pokémon, even using bombs; consequently the Dragonair clan feared humans, so they ignored Ash and his group, and even Team Rocket fell victim to the Poaching Gang's cruelty.
After the Team Rocket Trio told Ash about their experiences, they immediately fled; since Officer Junsha was here, as villains they naturally did not want to be caught by the police.
【Da Ye: Another Team Rocket, an organization not much different from Team Rocket.】
【Musashi: Don't insult our Team Rocket; our Team Rocket isn't that shameless.】
【Xiaomao: Your Team Rocket still can't beat those Poaching Gang; indeed you can't compare.】
【Meowth: It's together with that little troublemaker, and speaking is still as annoying as ever.】
Having obtained news of the Poaching Gang, Ash and his party went to rescue the Dragonair clan.
Xiaoxia brought Water-type Pokémon to control the Poaching Gang, while Ash and Dragonair attracted the Poaching Gang's Tentacruel, aiding the Dragonair clan.
Seeing Ash and Dragonair helping them fall into danger, the Dragonair clan rose up in resistance and froze the Tentacruel.
Afterwards Officer Junsha arrived, arrested the Poaching Gang and Team Rocket, and liberated the Tentacruel.
Team Rocket was still explaining, saying they just came to join the fun, not allied with the Poaching Gang.
The Dragonair clan awaited Dragonair; Ash let Dragonair go with its clan.
Dragonair brimmed with hot tears, recalling the times spent with Ash, reluctant to leave.
The White Light Screen also played back the memories of Ash and Dragonair; one could feel the deep affection between Ash and Dragonair.
Finally, Dragonair bid farewell to Ash and returned to its clan.
