The immense tornado-like power surged forward, drawing in the Pokémon of the five trainers, swirling them around as if they were caught in a washing machine. The tornado, formed by Dragon Rage, spun wildly, leaving the boys stunned. Some of them couldn't handle the intensity of the situation and collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed. The force of Dragon Rage persisted for quite a while before finally dissipating.
Gyarados' Dragon Rage is vastly different from that of an Axew. Even though it's more potent in water, its power on land is still formidable.
As the storm subsided, several Pokémon tumbled to the ground, their eyes swirling, unsure if they had been knocked out or simply disoriented.
Seeing their Pokémon fall, the boys wore identical expressions of disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just happened. The boy who had been bullied earlier was equally shocked.
In his eyes, any one of these students, who were considered far superior to him, had just been defeated in a five-on-one battle.
Ash, however, wasn't surprised. He knew these boys focused more on memorizing facts about Pokémon rather than on training them properly.
For them, if they understood Pokémon basics and type matchups, they could win most battles.
In simpler terms, they believed that as long as they used a Pokémon with a type advantage or a stronger Pokémon, they would win. For instance, they thought that using a Fearow against a Pidgeotto guaranteed victory.
But for Ash, while that might work in a game, reality was a different story.
"What... what's going on?"
"It must be because Gyarados is at a much higher level than our Pokémon..." The boys were in denial, looking back at Gyarados.
Gyarados is a fierce Pokémon, and none of theirs had evolved yet, so they assumed Ash had simply overpowered them with levels.
"I'm just a Rookie Trainer. I've only been on my journey for a little over a month. Even if Gyarados is a bit higher in level, your five Pokémon combined should surpass it."
Ash chuckled at their excuses. As he spoke, their faces grew even more sour.
"Darn it!" They couldn't find a rebuttal and could only swallow their frustration.
"It's no wonder you had to rely on connections. With your skills, you wouldn't be able to earn eight Badges."
"After all, the Pokémon League spends a lot each year on Pokémon Centers and Gyms across the regions, not to mention investing in research. That's a significant amount of money."
"And there are people like you who have plenty of cash but lack skill. Why not just give them the money?" Ash spread his hands slightly as he spoke, watching their clenched jaws.
Misty, standing by, couldn't help but laugh at Ash's blunt words. Realizing the boys were staring at her, she quickly covered her mouth, though her shoulders continued to shake with laughter.
Though Ash's words were harsh, they were spot-on. Even Brock, who was usually mature and humble, couldn't disagree. He hadn't known much about Pokémon Academy before, but now, after seeing them fight Ash, it was clear that they weren't as good as they thought.
If someone with this level of skill can directly participate in the Pokémon League Conference, they will quickly realize what it means to be humbled by the real world. Yet here they are, using their strength to bully other students.
"You..."
The phrase "people are stupid and have a lot of money" might be new to this world, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out it's not a compliment.
"What's wrong? Are you upset?" Ash noticed the anger in their eyes, and just as they were about to argue back, Gyarados lowered its head slightly, its massive mouth appearing ready to swallow them whole.
"Darn it! You'll pay for this!"
Terrified, they quickly recalled their Pokémon, muttered threats, and fled the scene, leaving only the young boy from before. Ash learned that his name was Joe after they exchanged a few words.
Ding dong!!!
"This concludes today's class in the fog. Tomorrow's class will be held in the snow!"
At that moment, a voice echoed through the air, sending a chill down Ash's spine. The school bell rang, and having been out of school for years, Ash felt a bit disoriented. When the thick fog lifted, he realized they were in a vast playground, facing a classical building that was the Pokémon Academy.
It was indeed a clever trick by the school—creating a dense fog to keep the students in class, even affecting the surrounding forest.
"Ah! Tomorrow it's in the snow! I'm doomed; they'll definitely turn me into a snowman," Joe muttered in fear, lowering his head.
"They're going to bully you again, aren't they?" Misty asked, unable to keep silent.
Ash quietly recalled Gyarados, not out of sympathy for Joe, but because he couldn't stand the arrogant attitudes of those students. He didn't have much affection for Joe, who seemed weak and too scared to fight back when bullied.
"That's just friendship, the whip of love!" Joe stammered, trying to justify their actions with a weak excuse.
"Calling that love is ignorant!" Brock retorted, unable to hold back. Having raised his younger siblings with all his love and care, he couldn't accept the idea of such mistreatment being called love.
"But because of them, I learned that Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto at level 18 and Pidgeotto into Pidgeot at level 36..."
"Then why didn't you say that earlier?" Misty asked, puzzled. If he knew that, why didn't he speak up when they asked him questions before?
"Because that's all I know. If I said anything, they would've just used more of their 'love whips' and asked me other questions."
"My parents worked really hard to get me into this school. Look over there—those Seniors have been here for years and still haven't graduated."
