"Pallet Town's Ash Ketchum, versus Goldenrod City Gym Leader, Whitney!"
"The Pokémon battle with Plain Badge as the reward for the challenger!"
"The number of Pokémon used is 3, is that okay?" The referee announced the start of the battle. When announcing 3VS3, he also looked at both sides.
It's quite convenient, and you can make comments if you have any.
"Brother Ash, come on!" Molly said in support of Ash from the outside.
"Although we have a good friendship going on, I won't hold back, Ash!" After getting along with each other yesterday, Ash and Whitney established a good friendship where they can call each other friends, mainly because Whitney likes Molly too much.
When he returned to the hotel last night, Ash brought some milk and cheese for Brock and Misty, which also received praise from them.
Brock also planned to buy some cheese before leaving to use as cooking ingredients during the journey.
Hearing what Whitney said, Ash responded of course, "I wish I could have it!"
"So, the battle begins!" The referee stated.
As usual, the Gym Trainer attacks first, "Nidorina first, let's go!"
The Goldenrod Gym is a Normal Type Gym, but Whitney sent Nidorina, which is a Poison Type.
But these had no impact on Ash at all, "The battle is yours to take, Quilava!"
The Pokémon around Ash now, in addition to Pikachu and Snorlax, are Quilava, Bayleef, and Heracross, who has been kept by Professor Oak for a long time.
Finally, there is Houndoom, who is used as a mount for Molly.
Professor Oak now has many more research subjects, including his Noctowl, who is very clever and has a special color, and the 28 Unowns that Ash has caught not long ago. . . .
"Nidorina, use Poison Jab!"
"Quilava, Flamethrower!"
The pillar of fire not only swallowed Nidorina's Poison Jab, but also burned Nidorina.
With just one move, Nidorina has lost her ability to fight.
Nidorina was instantly defeated as soon as she came up, but Whitney's expression did not change at all. After taking back Nidorina, Whitney turned to Clefairy beside her.
"Clefairy, use your Metronome!"
Clefairy just came to Quilava, stretched out her little finger and started wagging it from side to side.
This unique move Metronome is very interesting move. You can never predict what kind of special move it will unleash. It is a phantom-like ultimate move. If it is a Water type special attack, such as the high-pressured Hydro Pump, appears, Quilava will definitely be heavily damaged.
Ash didn't direct Quilava to counterattack, but just waited quietly for Clefairy to activate her Metronome.
The result is obvious. If luck is better, Ash will definitely crush Whitney!
The Metronome that I waited a long time to activate turned out to be nothing more than a splashing water jump that wouldn't do anything!
Whitney couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but Ash just smiled funnily, "Quilava, use Flamethrower again!"
The flames engulfed Clefairy again.
Things may seem a little too smooth, but that's just the way it is.
Ash discovered yesterday that Whitney seems to be putting all her energy into her Trump Card!
After defeating her first two Pokémon, the Gym battle truly begins!
"Come back, Quilava!"
Ash took back Quilava, and sure enough, Whitney's last Pokémon was her Miltank!
"Ash, can you beat my strongest Pokémon?" Obviously, Whitney is very confident in her Miltank.
"It's up to you, Heracross!"
Heracross: 160/255
The Hero of the Heracross still has a certain gap in bonding value, but its compatibility towards Ash is very high. Ash believe that as they get along and fight, they will soon be able to use Bind Evolutions!
"It turns out to be Heracross!" Whitney was very confident in her Miltanks secret skills, and didn't care no matter what kind of Pokémon came to challenge her.
"Miltank, Rollout!"
It's Rollout. Ash saw it in the pasture yesterday. Whitney directed Miltank to use the slope of the pasture to exercise its Rollout.
Sure enough, this Rollout is very strong and fast!
Moreover, this is a skill that becomes more powerful the longer it is maintained!
"Get away!"
Facing the Miltank coming with Rollout, Ash just ordered Heracross to run away from it. In this way, but in this way, Rollout's power is getting stronger and stronger!
"Ash?"
Seeing Ash avoid the attack so easily, Whitney suddenly understood, "Ash, you are deliberately making me strengthen the power of Rollout!"
"Hera!"
Feeling Heracross's fighting spirit, Ash smiled slightly but did not answer!
"Then here we go!" Whitney gritted her teeth and ordered Miltank to attack again!
This Miltank is indeed well-trained and can freely control the attack route in its Rollout form. After receiving the order, it attacks Heracross again!
Finally, Heracross assumed a defensive stance.
Ash's eyes lit up, "Heracross, block it!"
Boom!
Miltank hit Heracross hard. Ash believe that if it were a normal Pokémon, it would have been knocked out instantly!
But this Heracross, he is the true Hercules!
Moreover, it has the Fighting type, and it has a restraint on the Normal typing!
"How can it be?"
Whitney really couldn't imagine the scene in front of her. Miltank, which had always been invincible in front of her opponent, was actually forced to stop by this Heracross.
"Lift it up!"
The huge insect horns lifted Miltank and threw it into the air. It landed with a crash and the ground cracked into pieces.
"That's so powerful!" Whitney became nervous, "Miltank, are you okay?"
But now it's too late for her to do anything!
"Focus Punch!"
The Fighting type move, Focus Punch, took away Miltanks fighting ability in one fell swoop!
"Miltank lost the ability to fight and Heracross won, so the winner is Ash from Pallet Town!" Ash won easily in this battle.
It can be said that Heracross perfectly restrained Whitney's Trump Card.
"Awesome, Bug Brother won!" Molly was the first to cheer loudly in the audience.
Whitney put away the Miltank and handed the Plain Badge to Ash, "I lost to you, Ash, please accept this!"
"By the way, Ash, there will be an Bug Catching Conty held tomorrow at the National Park on the outskirts of Goldenrod City. You can attend it if you would like!" Whitney suggested, "We should go to Ecruteak City next, right?"
"Bug Catching Contest?" When Misty heard this, her hair stood on end. Bug type Pokémon was what she was most afraid of.
But Ash was very interested, "Of course I want to participate. It just so happens that I have a Pokémon there that I want to catch!"
