Pewter City Pokémon Center Ash went straight to the counter.
"Nurse Joy please check in for two of us and restore the health of these Pokémon Thank you."
"No problem just a moment."
"Huh? The boy in the hat with Pikachu standing on his shoulder, are you Ash?"
"I heard my sister in Viridian City mention about you who helped to save the Pokémon Center in Viridian City from being destroyed by criminals!"
Maybe it's the effect of the Joy clan's reputation +1.
Nurse Joy from pewter City who looks so clam that no one but Brock and themselves could tell whether they were the same person or not immediately recognized Ash.
"Nurse Joy that's right but can you please hurry up?
My companion and I had been out in the wild for several days and now need a much-needed break. "
"Okay, no problem the formalities have been completed you can go and check in."
"Leave Pikachu and the other Pokemon's to me Just come down and pick them up after you have rested they will be back to health later."
It can be seen that Ash and Misty are really tired and Nurse Joy smiled and expressed understanding.
She quickly completed the check-in formalities for the two of them and then took Pikachu and the other three Pokéballs.
"Thank you Nurse Joy!"×2
Ash and the two thanked Nurse Joy and then arrived at the room provided by the Pokémon Center at the speed of light entered the bathroom and took a comfortable bath.
Don't get me wrong although the accommodations provided by Pokémon Center are single rooms they are also divided into men and women.
At the same time Nurse Joy who released Ash's Pokémon from the pokeball looked little startled.
Shiny Gyarados who managed to curl up so as not to collapse the hall was lost in thought.
Is it a normal Pokemon?
Did I speak a little too early?
Is this a Pokémon that Rookie Trainer can control?
........... ..
Two and a half hours later after taking a good bath and relaxing nap Ash took Pikachu and three other pokeballs from Nurse Joy who looked hesitant to speak.
Went to the cafeteria to eat with Misty.
"Ash when are you going to challenge pewter Gym?"
"Tomorrow it's a bit late today and we have been traveling for several days Not to mention the two of us Pikachu and the others should also relax."
"Pika pika~"
Ash stuffed a spoonful of crab roe mashed potatoes into his mouth and decided to take a day off and challenge pewter City Gym tomorrow.
Pikachu ate the exclusive Pokémon food with ketchup and agreed for the challenge tomorrow.
The few days in Viridian Forest also made him exhausted.
Like Pidegeotto they sometimes rest in the pokeballs.
"Then let's go shopping in pewter City tonight?"
After hearing that Ash decided to challenge pewter Gym tomorrow Misty immediately suggested.
"Sure enough no matter what world or age group shopping is a major hobby for women."
Ash thought to himself and nodded in agreement.
"I will pay for all the expenses tonight."
Misty accompanied her to level up in Viridian Forest she had been sleeping in the open air for so long without saying anything Now that she was in the city she should go shopping with others.
"Pfft haha, thank you so much Mr.Ash"
Misty looked "extremely honored".
...........
"Okay, that's it for today."
In the evening, in pewter City Commercial Street Misty under the hopeful eyes of Ash and Pikachu decided to go shopping here today.
"Phew, it's finally over."
"Pika pika."
Ash and Pikachu breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been saved from this disaster known as shopping.
There were countless things in large and small bags hanging on their bodies.
Since Ash paid the bill Misty bought a lot of things but they were all cheap stuff like dolls.
The total value of all these items is not much the main thing is to have fun.
But it also made Ash and Pikachu very tired while carrying them.
It's not that he's tired Mega Rookie's physique won't be like this.
The main reason is that I am tired because of him suggesting whether it was good looking or not to Misty who was happy during the shopping.
Anyway if I don't have any patience I would already passed out due to exhaustion.
That's Ash now If it were the previous one he would probably not even cared about accompaning misty for shopping and ran straight to gym battle.
Speaking of which it's because Ash is now very reliable against girls if it was Pokemon he would help it without any issue.
Misty's attitude is much better than in the original plot and sometimes she's even a little gentle.
At least that's the case when facing Ash.
For example at this time she specially bought two super luxurious ice cream sundaes to reward Ash and Pikachu who helped her carry her bags.
Since one person and one mouse were covered with shopping bags she also provided feeding services thoughtfully.
It gave Ash a little more comfort in his tired heart.
"Pikaaa~"
(The tomato sundae is delicious.)
Pikachu also enjoyed the treat given by Misty for his hardwork with twinkling eyes.
........... ....
The next morning Ash, Misty said goodbye to Nurse Joy and came to a square stone-style building by asking for directions.
This is the Rock type pewter City Gym that Ash will challenge.
"Is anyone here?"
Pushing open the heavy stone gym door the duo stepped into the gym.
"Are you going to challenge the gym? Is it you or the girl next to you?"
The lights in the gym suddenly turned on, illuminating the originally dark space.
A black-skinned, narrow-eyed, hedgehog-headed boy sitting cross-legged asked.
It was Brock Harrison, the gym leader of Pewter City Gym at this time and one of the protagonists upto sinnoh region.
"You are the gym leader right? I am the one who wants to challenge pewter City Gym for boulder batch"
Ash took a step forward and issued the challenge for the batch.
"In that case, then come with me."
This is another Rookie who just debuted and doesn't understand Attribute restraint Let's be gentler later.
Brock glanced at Pikachu which was on Ash's shoulder and then looked at his overly young face.
When he turned around and led Ash to the battle site he shook his head insignificantly.
Has Brock underestimated Ash in this gym?
You will suffer a big loss today!!!!
Misty who was following Ash was very attentive and was keenly aware of brock's subtle movements.
I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart.
Anyone who treats Ash as a new trainer who has just debuted will suffer a big loss.
Many times even she who had received the Gym leader training since she was a child would be surprised by Ash's inadvertent performance.
What's more Ash also has a powerful shiny Gyarados that can restrain Rock and Ground types.
"The rules of the battle are 2v2 You can win by defeating all two Pokémon in battle the challenger can change Pokémon midway during the battle."
When they came to the battlefield brock's second brother acted as the referee.
A bunch of other brothers and sisters were in the audience like Misty and they were in the audience shouting for their brother to win the match.
