Such a far-fetched explanation obviously cannot convince Misty who is inspired to become a Water Pokémon master.
As for how Magikarp evolved into Gyarados in the wild there is no definite answer in the academic world.
But it is by no means as simple as Ash said.
But since Ash is unwilling to answer directly there must be a reason.
She is not the kind of person who pryes onto others matter just to make her look like a Karen.
She only gave Ash a look That says"do you think I believe you?"
Ash recreated the classic protagonist's style of touching his nose knowing that this topic has been debunked.
Even if you see through it without saying it you are still a good friend.
"Okay Ash since Magikarp has successfully evolved it must be the main Pokémon your challenge at Pewter City Gym.
Just take advantage of the time on the way to pewter City to hone your combat experience.
I happen to have a secret training manual for Gyarados at home I'll get it for you when we get to Cerulean City.
It's just that I can't give you the manual for your pewter City challenge. "
Misty glanced at Ash who was pretending to be dumbfounded.
Although she doesn't like Gyarados her family has been Cerulean Gym Leaders for generations.
One of my late parent's main Pokémon was also a Gyarados.
Naturally we have summarized a set of effective Gyarados trainer manual.
Ash's Gyarados in addition to being shiny is also much larger than its peers so its talent cannot be wasted.
"Thank you so much Misty I'll treat you to a big dinner another day."
Ash was overjoyed and a little moved in his heart.
In the world Pokémon Training manual are undoubtedly a secret that is not told to others.
Many Trainer families rely on such special Training manuals and methods which have been passed down from generation to generation and have become Alliance's elite class just like Claire from blackthorn city gym leader who specialises in dragon Pokemon who is also cousin of dual region champion lance speaking of lance he didn't know why journey's made lance a side character who was easily lost to diantha he was damn op.
It was the Training secrets that were summarized by a family of water gyms like Misty and her family are sought after by trainers the most.
The value of this manuals are immeasurable!
That's Misty for you.
She inherited the inheritance of the entire gym there are no parents here and the sisters don't care about anything they can make decisions on their own.
Otherwise it would be almost impossible for Ash to obtain such precious Pokemon trainer manual.
Don't think that being a reincarnator means you can be unscrupulous and maintain a condescending attitude toward the natives of the Pokémon world.
In fact in addition to vision ,humble and studious heart there are hundreds of different kinds of little cheats in Pokemon world example attack items, stat increase items.
Ash does not have any more advantages like any other local trainers expect for his system and professor oak.
Just relying on a little knowledge in anime and games it is still too easy to take it for granted to become a trainer.
Apart from anything else just talking about how to raise Pokémon and how to breed them is a huge knowledge.
Most people haven't even figured out how to raise dogs and cats on his previous world.
"Forget it there's no need for a big meal just treat me to something else.
You have just started traveling and there will be many places where you can use your money in the future
I just don't want this Gyarados's talent go to waste "
Misty tried not to let her eyes fall on shiny Gyarados.
She moved away from Ash with her legs that seems like noodles and try to show a strong character infront of Ash.
"Then when we go to celedon City I'll buy some perfumes for you "
Ash is not a brick head like original who doesn't know why misty helping him with her own accord so he won't misuse the trust. So he also wanted to show that he will treat her well by doing what she wants the most.
Although the value of the perfume is only a drop in the bucket compared to the value of the Gyarados training secret manual it still in his heart and he will find a way to repay it in the future for Misty.
Misty, will definitely like his present in the future.
"Then it's settled I want a few more bottles! I also want the Gloom series..."
Speaking of perfume Misty immediately became excited.
Although her face was pale her eyes were bright due to the mention of perfume she may act like a tomboy but in reality she is also a girl and her thoughts already driffed towards celedon City.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you It's so late now it's time go have some good Rest."
When Ash saw Misty's enthusiasm he was afraid that she would continue talking about this topic.
He recalled both the Pokémon except Pikachu back into their pokeballs dragged Misty who was limited to pajamas back to the campsite and stuffed her back into her tent.
Then he returned to his tent and got into his own sleeping bag.
After a busy day he was little tired!
"Pikachu good night~"
"Pika~"
In the cute little sleeping bag with thunder symbol Pikachu was also very sleepy.
Without even opening his eyes he just moved his ears and subconsciously replied.
........... .....
The next morning.
After a night's rest Ash and his gang resumed their journey with renewed energy.
All wild Pokémon encountered on the road that are within the range of his Gyarados are handed over to Gyarados.
It has the ability to be intemidate and its performance is outstanding when facing Bug Type Pokémon that live in groups.
The two Beedrill groups encountered one after another made it difficult to gain combat experience.
Other high-level Pokémon that are beyond the range of Gyarados are left to Pikachu and Pidegeotto to deal with.
As for Metapod it is still in the Poke ball waiting for its evolution.
Ash is not in a hurry about this matter.
It's not that the sooner it evolve the better the will be.
Metapod in the original plot was able to successfully evolve into Butterfree despite using so many skills and fighting several battles.
The energy accumulated during the Catterpie period must be very high.
It is reasonable to spend more time absorbing during the Metapod period.
Anyway Pidegeotto is still some distance away from evolving into a Pidgeot.
Just complete Catterpie's perfect evolution mission before Pidegeotto evolves into Pidgeot.
Just get Pidegeotto's exclusive golden squid feed after metapod evolves.
If that doesn't work Ash can also let Pidegeotto step down a little bit and stop evolving so quickly.
Anyway it's not a big problem!
Several days passed like this and the group finally arrived at the outskirts of pewter City.
On the distant skyline a strong Rock-style city comes into view.
[Pokémon: Pikachu, level: lv30-lv31. ]
[Pokémon: Pidegeotto, level: lv26-lv28. ]
[Pokémon: Gyarados (shiny ✨✨✨), level: lv8-lv24. ]
After several days of field battles and training Pikachu and Pidegeotto's levels were improved by one and two levels respectively.
The speed is not faster than before but it is within the acceptable range.
As the level increases the difficulty of upgrading will naturally become greater.
The further you go the slower the level increases.
And shiny Gyarados is due to the two Beedrill groups alone plus some other sporadic wild Pokémon.
A full 16 levels improved.
Skip the newbie and come to the normal stage.
With Attribute's restraint and its own strong strength it shouldn't be a big problem to challenge Pewter Gym.
"We finally arrived in pewter City Ash let's go to the Pokémon Center I want to take a good bath."
Misty was like a traveler who encountered an oasis in the desert was quite excited.
Ash also nodded in agreement.
In order to level up Gyarados these days the two of them have been sleeping and bathing was rough.
Even when taking a bath Ash would go to the river to fetch water and go to the tent to wipe it off.
(Gyarados spit up the water from his mouth. The two of them were a little uncomfortable with it and they both tacitly agreed not to mention it.)
Not to mention misty like any other pokegirl,who loves to be clean like Ash felt a little uncomfortable after a few days.
After challenging pewter Gym you must be sure to replenish a wave of supplies!!!
Buy two large bathtubs one for each person!
Also the artifacts necessary to capture Fire type Pokémon for heating up the water.
Let Pikachu provide the electricity.
Pikachu:? ? ?
" Do I look like a electricity generator"😒😒😒
