"Nibby City is up ahead. There's a rock gymnasium there. If you defeat the rock gymnasium trainer, you'll get the gray badge," Wang Yu said to Ash.
"What's the use of the badge?" Ash asked in confusion.
"That's the admission ticket to the Alliance Challenge. You can only participate in the Alliance Challenge if you gather eight badges. Gray badge, blue badge, orange badge, gold badge, rainbow badge, pink badge, crimson badge, and green badge. One badge represents a Gym. Ash, with our current strength, we will only lose if we face any Gym trainer now. However, there's no need to be nervous. We can challenge them to test the waters first. It's fine even if we lose. We can carry out targeted training," Wang Yu explained to Ash.
"I didn't expect Wang Yu to know so much," Misty said.
"Let's go! Let's see the glory of the Rock Gym first," Wang Yu said as he took a step forward.
Then, they met Xiao Gang's father. He still said the same words. Everything seemed to be the same. The only change was that the challenger had changed from Ash alone to two people.
"As a Gym trainer, my duty is to accept the challenge of a trainer," Xiao Gang said.
It was still the same as the original plot. Pikachu's electric shock was useless when he was entangled by Onyx. In the end, he could only shout for a halt.
"Wang Yu, what you said is true. We're still not a match for the Gym trainers. We can still go back and do targeted training." Ash was a little discouraged at first, but gradually, he regained his fighting spirit and prepared to go back to do targeted training.
"Don't panic! Ash! Now's my turn." Wang Yu did not retreat. He planned to fight Xiao Gang first.
"It's my turn now. Come, let's fight."
"The duty of a Gym trainer is to accept the challenge of a trainer. Each side will have two Pokémons. Is there a problem?" Xiao Gang asked.
"No problem. Let's begin." Wang Yu went to the side of the battlefield and stood there.
"Go, Geodude." Xiao Gang took out his first Pokémon, but it wasn't an Onyx. It was a Geodude.
"Since you want to give me points, I'll accept it. Go, Charmander." Wang Yu looked at Geodude and took out the little Charmander. After the battle with Scyther, the little Charmander's level had obviously increased a lot.
"Wang Yu, your little Charmander leveled up a little too quickly," Ash lamented.
The corners of Wang Yu's mouth twitched unconsciously when he heard this. He was speechless. No matter how fast one's level increased, it could not be faster than Pikachu's level. It was almost Level 31. Charmander was only Level 24 to Level 25. It was still a little lacking. However, there was only one match left.
"Let's make the first move. Charmander, use Ember."
"Oh!" Charmander shot out flames and hit Geodude. Geodude was instantly killed.
"Geodude, come back. I didn't expect you to nurture your Charmander well. However, you've lost this battle. Onyx, go." Xiao Gang took out the Onyx. Clearly, he had decided to use it to deal with Wang Yu.
"Charmander, use Flamethrower." Wang Yu commanded Charmander to launch an attack. However, the fire attack did not have much effect this time.
"Onyx, launch a binding attack."
"Charmander, dodge quickly. We can't be tied up." Charmander immediately jumped away.
"Onyx, use Double-edge now." The little fire dragon that was jumping in midair could not dodge and was sent flying.
"Charmander's special attack basically can't break through its defense. Physical damage is also difficult against rocks. Rocks are afraid of water. It's a pity that I don't have a water element. Otherwise, I would be able to fight a wave. It's so difficult that I can only let Lugia fight? Wouldn't that expose Lugia? It will be very troublesome in the future." Wang Yu had mixed feelings. Lugia's superpower should be effective, but it would be exposed if it was used. It would be very troublesome in the future. After all, many people in this world were mainly fighting Legendary Pokémons.
"Forget it, I'll have to collect some water-type Pokémons before coming back." Wang Yu was about to give up.
At this moment, a strong light appeared and enveloped Charmander.
"This is! The Charmander has evolved." Ash and the others were shocked.
The strong light dissipated. The little Charmander had evolved into a Charmeleon. Wang Yu took out the Pokédex and shone it on the Charmeleon.
"Charmeleon: The evolved form of the Charmander. Fire Pokémon. Current Level: 25. Possesses skills: Flamethrower, Fire Vortex, Claw Strike, Rocket Headbutt…"
"There's a chance now." Wang Yu looked at the information in the Pokédex and felt that there was hope of victory.
