Chapter 250

Again like this, the brats of the Black World are even more hateful, actually using us as sparring partners.

The Team Rocket Trio in Mialeishi was furious, fuming, and Musashi angrily slammed the microphone.

Shinjiro also wanted to slam it, but he was holding a camera... he couldn't afford to break it.

Meowth, upon getting angry, got angry a bit.

Besides just being angry, the Team Rocket had no way; even against the not-so-strong-looking White Ash, they couldn't handle it.

Just the Pokémon White Ash currently carries, they can't deal with, let alone Pikachu.

The brat also has a Ninja Frog that can bond-evolve; we're afraid we can't win.

Shinjiro talked about Ash's Pokémon, it seems none of theirs can beat ours.

Meowth sighed, that brat is like using cheats!

Black World—

After Ash's group finished training, they happened to hear that ahead there was a gym claiming to have the world's strongest Pokémon; asking a passerby trainer, they learned the gym had a very strong Big Mouth Gull that knows many types of moves.

They all went to check out the liveliness; a gym that proclaims itself so strong is rare.

Inside came out teenage Anthony and the water-type Poké Ball big-mouth gull, Ash stepped forward and stated his purpose, wanting to battle him.

Pikachu made the first move, opening with 100,000 Volts.

The big-mouth gull had just seen a golden-yellow electric current appear on Pikachu's body; in the blink of an eye, the current struck it, and the current's power was great—it was the first time it had endured such a strong electric current.

The big-mouth gull, being shocked, cried out 'wawa', and its mouth also spat out two Poké Balls—a duck-bill baby and a trumpet sprout—all of which had lost their ability to battle.

?

What's going on?

How did this big-mouth gull spit out two Poké Balls?

Everyone saw the big-mouth gull that had lost its ability to battle, and combined with the situation described by passersby, they guessed that this big-mouth gull couldn't have so many types of moves; it was hiding several Poké Balls in its mouth.

Before, battling those trainers, it hadn't been discovered; now, encountering Pikachu as a tough opponent, it instantly knocked the big-mouth gull out of battle and gave itself away.

After being exposed, Anthony felt regretful, saying he wouldn't take shortcuts like that again and would earnestly raise the big-mouth gull.

The Team Rocket Trio thought poorly of this big-mouth gull's 'fighting style'; they couldn't even fool Ash, and they also couldn't be bothered to pay attention, continuing to think of a good way to defeat Ash.

Ash and his party set off, this time arriving at the special location Kanazi Center; Misty was very interested in the Poké Ball splendid competition, and the party specially bought tickets to go in and watch.

The Poké Ball splendid competition differs from ordinary battles that previously relied on strength to decide victory; it compares the splendor of ultimate moves and the growth condition of the Poké Ball itself.

Misty watched excitedly, especially seeing Huimei's hunting butterfly, she planned to also capture one.

After watching the match, Ash and his party continued onward to Kanazi City.

On the way, hearing Misty want to capture a hunting butterfly, conveniently a sting-tail worm crawled out from the roadside; Misty sent out her fire chick, pecking the sting-tail worm two or three times, and the sting-tail worm lost its ability to battle.

Misty then captured the sting-tail worm.

Having captured the sting-tail worm, Ash and his party finally arrived at Kanazi City, first going to the Poké Ball Center to recover stamina.

Once the companions had all rested, they came to the opened doors of the Kanazi Gym!

"Sister, Black Satoshi is not bad to you, he proactively teaches you Poké Ball battles and also brings you to capture Poké Ball."

Xiaosheng pushed up his glasses, looking as if he had seen clearly: "Feels not ordinary!"

"That's just the Black World..."

Misty was a bit disappointed; Bai Shijie here wasn't as good as the Black World, and at that time Ash was a Poké Ball battle maniac.

The Black Light Screen froze as Ash and his party entered the Kanazi Gym and then dimmed, while the White Light Curtain lit up at this moment.

Bai Shijie and his party then proceeded toward the Kanazi Gym, seeing Ash challenging the Gym, while Misty figured out her own path: that is to become a Pokemon Coordinator Trainer, aiming to participate in the splendid competition, and thus give up the Gym challenge matches.

And Ash, in order to deal with the Cuckoo's north-facing nose, specially trained Pikachu in the Iron Tail move.

The spectators all looked a bit stunned; Black Satoshi's Pikachu had known it for a long time, while Bai Shijie's Pikachu was only cramming at the last minute, desperately practicing just before the Gym battle.

In training Poké Balls, Bai Shijie lagged far behind—not just a little—but young people being restless is normal. Black Satoshi is very diligent, his Poké Balls are also diligent, having mastered many moves.

Thus Black Satoshi was able to quickly obtain the Champion title; similarly, Ash, if Bai Shijie were more diligent and trained Poké Balls like Black Satoshi, even if he couldn't get the Champion, his ranking could still improve.

The Kanazi Gym is a 2vs2 battle; Ash's sent-out Wood Guardian couldn't withstand the high defense of the little fist stone, and instead was repeatedly hit by its million-ton heavy punches, losing its ability to battle.

In desperation, they relied on Pikachu; Pikachu used thunder, turning the entire rocky ground flat, limiting the little fist stone's rolling, and then the little fist stone was defeated by Pikachu.

Then the appearing north-facing nose put Pikachu in a tough battle; Pikachu forcibly used its body to block the north-facing nose's electromagnetic cannon, and then, using its own trait, it caused the north-facing nose to become fully paralyzed.

At the final moment, Pikachu suddenly used Iron Tail, a one-hit KO, winning the match!

Ash and Pikachu obtained the first Badge of the Johto Region—the Stone Badge!
