Chapter 490

February 1, Sunday.

In the center of the Kanto region, on Route 5 between Cerulean City and Saffron City, a boy with a light brown hedgehog head and a trainer's outfit was riding a bicycle to his next destination.

"Sure enough, just as I thought, Gym Leader Misty of Cerulean City is also a fan of Teacher Yu..."

On the road, Blue recalled the very intense gym battle yesterday, and a few drops of cold sweat couldn't help but flow down his forehead.

Although he only set out on his journey to become a trainer this year, he wasn't a real newbie like Red, who had been helping to take care of Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab since he was a child and thus met his first batch of partners.

Logically speaking, shouldn't he, who owns Arcanine, Alakazam, and Charmeleon, be cutting through everything and getting eight gym badges at the speed of light?

Although his main force is indeed not easy to overcome the Water-type gym, so he could only take out the dirty routine learned from Teacher Yu, let Arcanine quickly cause attrition in the sunny weather relying on Solar Beam, so he could win the battle.

But the result...

The same scene as the previous challenge in Pewter City appeared again.

Because Misty is also a loyal fan of Teacher Yu, his tactics not only failed to work, but he was also tricked by the Azumarill she took out from somewhere.

That's right, the Sap Sipper ability Azumarill...

"WTF, how can anyone not bring Huge Power for Azumarill, but bring Sap Sipper!"

As soon as Blue thought of this, he got angry. If he hadn't finally relied on physical strength to elbow Azumarill and narrowly won the opponent, he would have lost another gym battle.
