Crossing the green grasslands, Ash and his party finally arrived at the location of the third Gym, Goldenrod City.
As the travel brochure says, this is the largest city in the Johto Region, a prosperous large city.
"Molly, come down!" Before entering the city, Ash took Molly off Houndoom's back.
As a promise, Ash made a request to Professor Hale to take her on a trip.
Of course, Molly's journey will only continue until she follows Ash to complete the adventure in the Johto Region, that is, after the Silver Conference ends, she will go back with her dad.
Professor Hale will also come by then, and after the conference, he will take Molly home.
Although they were worried about Molly's sleeping situation, Brock and Misty, both traveling companions, expressed their willingness to support Molly in her journey.
With Brock's care, Ash believe Molly will be healthy.
However, after all, they are just children, and of course they cannot travel long distances like Ash and others, so Ash simply let Molly ride on his Houndooms back and follow them.
After all, she is just a kid, and Houndoom is big enough for her to ride on.
Not only that, Ash also asked Houndoom to bring the Macho Brace that Charizard had used to train its body along the way.
If you want to beat a beast like Charizard, you have to keep training now.
"Molly, hold my hand. There are people coming and going here. Don't get separated!" Ash held Molly's hand. With the power of his Aura, he was not worried about Molly getting lost, he can just find her. But if possible, he wants to avoid it completely from happening.
"I know, Brother!" The little girl smiled sweetly.
"Of course the first thing you do when you go to the city is to go shopping!" Misty couldn't hold back anymore as she looked at the dazzling array of products in the glass display window.
"The first thing you should do when you come to a big city is to go on a date with beautiful girl!" Brock has already been obsessed with the women coming and going beside him!
Ash couldn't help but cover his forehead, "Everyone, after finally arriving in the big city, shouldn't you find a good place to stay and have a good meal?"
That is what makes sense to Ash!
Molly held Ash's hand and smiled.
These two big brothers and sister are so interesting to be with.
The three of them will have a lot of money now. In order to reward Ash for solving the Crystal Tower Crisis, the Pokémon Alliance rewarded Ash with a lot of money and goodies.
Not only that, Professor Oak and Professor Hale also personally sponsored a lot of travel expenses, which of course also included Molly's living expenses.
Therefore, when they came to the big city, of course they wanted to find a high-end hotel and have a good meal.
After eating and drinking, Misty went shopping. In fact, this girl just likes to look around, but she doesn't spend a lot of money on random purchases. That's just one of the things that makes Ash like Misty.
Brock went everywhere to strike up a conversation, even though he would never be successful. I hope his face would be fine when he came back and not with a slap mark.
Of course, he is also responsible for purchasing all the supplies needed for the trip. Now that he has a little girl with them on their travels, he needs even more things. With him here, Ash can really worry less.
Ash and Molly found the Goldenrod Gym, but made a tragic discovery. . . .
The Gym is actually closed and the Gym is on holiday!
"Brother Ash, what should we do?" Molly, who was sitting on Houndoom, was a little frustrated.
Ash ruffled her hair and said, "Don't worry, the Gym won't be on vacation forever. Where do you want to go and see?"
Molly tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Brother, I just saw a kid holding a Poke Doll. Can I have one too?"
Of course, at her age, she has absolutely no resistance to such dolls.
It seems that because the Goldenrod City Gym Trainer often carries a Clefairy with her, she has set the trend, making the children here very fond of Poke Doll even more than any other place he has visited.
Goldenrod City's Poke Doll is also becoming more and more exquisite and lifelike.
"Of course!" Of course Ash would not refuse this request.
He took Molly to the department store and bought the little girl an special Poke Doll, which was just right for her to hold in her arms.
"Thank you, big Brother! Huh?"
As soon as Molly turned around after taking the Poke Doll, her eyes suddenly lit up. She clearly saw a living Clefairy walking past her.
"Clefairy!"
Molly screamed and ran after him.
"Pika!"
Ash, who had just paid, heard Pikachu's reminder and quickly turned around, only to see Molly chasing Clefairy.
"Molly!"
Ash walked quickly and caught up with her in no time. He pressed her little head and scolded her, "You can't leave without telling me, remember?"
Molly smiled, pointed in front and said, "But Brother, Clefairy! It's a real Clefairy!"
It's really a Clefairy, and it also has a Trainer.
A pink-haired girl held Clefairy in her arms and apologized to Ash and Molly, "I'm sorry, my Clefairy is too lively and gets lost!"
"Big Sister, can I play with Clefairy?" Molly stepped forward and asked, which showed that she liked Clefairy very much.
Seeing the Poke Doll in Molly's arms, Whitney nodded immediately, "Of course, but be careful!"
"Hello, my name is Ash, and this is my little sister, Molly! If I'm not wrong, you are the Gym Leader of Goldenrod Gym, Whitney!" Ash stepped forward to say hello.
Whitney looked at him and said, "Yes, I am Whitney!"
"Sister Whitney, Brother Ash came to Goldenrod City to challenge the Gym. Why is the gym on holiday?" Molly hugged Clefairy and asked after hearing the conversation between the two.
"That's really unfortunate, but it's because today is the a day off for all the Gyms!" Whitney pinched Molly's little cheek, "Ash, Molly, in that case, do you want to come to my Miltank Ranch?"
"Miltank Ranch?"
"Molly, the milk of a Miltank is very nutritious. Children who grow up drinking milk from a Miltank can will grow into healthy and strong people!" Ash explained to Molly.
"That's right, Ash, you know it very well! You can go visit and taste it today, if you would like to." It can be seen that Whitney likes Molly very much, and she straight up invited them to go and taste the milk.
Since it was hard to refuse Whitney's hospitality and Molly seemed to want to taste the Milk Drink, Ash did not refuse.
Let Houndoom take Molly and follow Whitney to the outskirts of Goldenrod City. Compared to the prosperous concrete city, Molly seemed more relaxed in this this kind of place.
"Is this Miltank? It's so cute!" Molly noticed that there were many Miltanks just hanging around the Ranch.
"What a cute little girl! Come on, drink as much as you can, it's delicious!" The old man who runs the Ranch came over with a large glass of milk. He must be the person that Whitney gave a call to and asked them to be ready.
In addition to milk, there are also a series of dairy products such as cheese, fresh milk pudding, fresh milk ice cream, etc., which is very enjoyable for the little Molly.
Brock and Misty don't have this pleasure, which is just a pity. . . .
