Ash who was looking forward to shooting a Aura Sphere readily accepted the task.
"Still 1v1 like before?"
Misty nodded.
Ash reached for the PokéBall belonging to Gyarados on his waist.
Accompanied by an overbearing almost deafening roar.
Gyarados slammed his body into the pool occupying almost half of the water field.
The water level which was still some distance offshore suddenly rose.
A lot of water overflowed from it.
The entire venue became soggy.
The three sisters were startled by Flash Gyarados and exclaimed.
As the Cerulean gym leaders they are no strangers to Gyarados.
When they were children they even had close contact and played with the Gyarados raised by their parents.
However after seeing Ash's red Gyarados that was more than twice the size of the Normal Gyarados.
The ordinary Gyarados who used to be quite domineering and vicious in their eyes has become a little temperless kitten.
Will Misty face such a powerful Pokémon trainer?
Can she do it?
Knowing that Misty had some psychological shadow on Gyarados due to childhood reasons the three sisters quietly tightened their fists.
They looked worriedly at the thin figure on the battle stage.
Although she was mentally prepared Misty still was little scared when she faced against a Gyarados from leader's perspective.
But she didn't have the nerve to show it in front of her sisters.
She was holding on to her legs which were a little soft and felt like noodles which was about to break anytime.
Released her Gym Battle Trump Card—— Starmie.
Even though she really wanted to win she didn't shy away from using the few powerful Pokémon left behind by her parents.
Only your own Pokemon can be considered as fair fight!
[Pokémon: Starmie, Level: Lv29]
It can be seen that Misty's Starmie is used as her main Pokemon.
Although she was a little scared when facing Ash's Gyarados she quickly overcame her inner fear.
The small body stood on an ice floe trying to compete with gaint Gyarados in terms of momentum.
Waiting for instructions from her trainer Misty.
..........
Are you about to become an pesudo gym level Starmie?
It's a pretty good Pokemon.
Ash nodded secretly and congratulated misty for raising a strong Pokemon.
The gap between his Gyarados and Starmie on the field is not as big as others think.
In terms of level Gyarados is 4 levels lower than Starmie.
In terms of Attribute Gyarados is water plus Flying Type.
Starmie is water plus Psychic Type.
The two sides are evenly matched and there is no Attribute restraint.
And since it was his first time playing there was no room for his Gyarados' overconfident Ability to show off.
In terms of Ability it even has a certain disadvantage.
Coupled with the limited size of the venue it is definitely not as flexible as the petite Starmie.
This battle is going to be very interesting!
If it weren't for the system mission requirement to use only Water type Pokémon to battle.
Ash would have sent Pikachu directly.
One shot of thunder bolt can be carried away directly.
It's just that the mission requires it so there's nothing we can do about it.
Who made Ash eager to awaken the power of Aura in advance?
"Starmie, use Swift."
Misty took the lead in commanding Starmie to break the atmosphere of confrontation.
Swift's power is a Normal type but its hit rate is very high.
In addition Misty's Starmie has the ability to glow and the size of the venue limits Gyarados' dodging range.
This first move is almost guaranteed to hit!
Misty plans to try it out with Swift first.
Generally speaking except that the difference in strength is too great.
The battle between Pokémon does not start at a high level.
It is always accompanied by various tests and small tactics to understand the opponent's weaknesses or flaws.
Seize the opportunity and defeat the enemy with one blow.
"Gyarados carry it down and use Leer plus Bite."
Gyarados' body is very strong and with exploratory skills like Swift's it will do minimal damage to it.
Coupled with the limited space it is impossible to dodge effectively.
Ash simply let it come down hard and then used the classic combo of Leer and Bite.
Gyarados's menacing visage works wonders when using Leer.
Starmie was inevitably affected and her defense level dropped.
Even the reaction movements are slower than before.
After using Leer Gyarados opened his mouth wide and bit Starmie.
"Starmie, jump in the water."
Misty's command was timely and did not let Gyarados' Leer plus Bite combo hit.
After seeing Starmie jump into the water,l Misty patted her cheast and then thought to herself that there is still a chance.
With the small space and Starmie's flexibility there might be a chance to counterattack.
"Gyarados with your tail use twister."
Ash is waiting for this.
Naturally he would not think that basic small combos like Leer and Bite could defeat the opponent.
His real intention was behind Gyarados' tail.
When activating Leer he quietly prepared Gyarados to attack
Facing Bite and Leer combo Misty will most likely make Starmie jump into the water to avoid it.
Then in the water he took advantage of his small size to fight against Gyarados with its easy mobility.
And when it jumped it happened to fall right into Ash's trap.
At this time a waterspout was seen in the field.
After everything calms down.
Starmie floated up from the water into circles.
It seems that she has lost her ability to fight.
The three sisters who were watching the battle shuddered: Sure enough these tactical players have sneaky strategies.
Fighting is not fun at all!
Water ballet is still interesting!
After handing over the Cerulean Gym Badge to Ash Misty stomped her feet angrily after seeing the performance of the three "waste" sisters.
She tried her best to have good fight with Ash.
In addition to maintaining the dignity of the Cerulean Gym she also gave Ash some combat experience.
She still want to see if she could inspire the fighting spirits of the "waste" sisters through this battle.
Even though their command level is still low.
At least don't be so perfunctory about gym battles or even give away Badges without fighting.
Who knew that the three of them were still unable to hold themselves up the wall.
This gym will be disbanded sooner or later if they continue like this.
Just counting on the flashy water ballet and the prestige of their dead parents.
How long can it last like this?
Misty sighed softly and tightened the backpack she had loaded with Gyarados secret training manual.
Putting the incapacitated Starmie back into the pokeball.
She was not in the mood to say goodbye to the her three sisters so she asked ash and brock to leave as soon as possible.
Prepare to go to the Pokémon Center to recover Starmie before heading to the next stop.
Daisy, Violet, and Lily were left looking at each other at the same time the back of their annoyed sister Misty.
