The road outside the gym was previously blocked by dead trees and branches.
This is a small test set by the gym leader in advance for the trainers who come to challenge him, to see how they can successfully reach the gate with their own abilities.
But recently, an unknown tree-cutting maniac appeared in Vermilion City, and he cuts down every tree he sees.
They even chopped down all the dead trees and branches in the entire Vermillion City, exposing the gym's gate.
The news media in Vermillion City immediately took advantage of the situation and promoted a new wave of green and sustainable development concepts: "If you want to get rich, plant trees first."
"Rattata, hold on and don't die, you have always been my best friend!!!"
At this time, a young man who looked like a novice trainer ran out of the gym gate.
His expression was a mixture of anxiety, anger, and regret, and he ran and roared.
In his arms, he was holding a little Rattata that was unable to fight. It looked so miserable, burnt on the outside but tender and meaty on the inside.
He paid no attention to Satoshi and the other two, but just kept encouraging his Rattata. He soon passed by the three of them and disappeared at the entrance of the Vermilion Gym.
"You must make it to the pokemon Center! This way I can save a Vitality Shard!"
Even from far away, you can still hear his shouts.
The three of them couldn't help but swallow their water when they saw the miserable appearance of the little Rada.
It's completely different from the state of being unable to fight and being whipped endlessly.
"ash, this gym owner might not be a good person."
"Definitely more cruel than our two gyms."
Hearing this, ash did not dare to delay. He took a deep breath and then pushed open the door of the Dead Leaf Gym.
As a future Pokémon master, he is not afraid of anything!
As soon as he entered, a beam of dazzling light shone into his eyes, making him squint like Xiao Gang next to him.
Small eyes have their advantages.
A rather deep and rough male voice came from inside, with a tone of self-complaint in the voice.
"Why is there another challenge?"
"I don't know who cut down my tree, and now all kinds of cylx are challenging me."
"Damn it."
The lights faded, and ash and the other two regained their sight.
Unexpectedly, the interior layout of this gym is not as fancy as the previous two gyms, with rocks and large pools.
The vermilion Gym is just an ordinary, standard empty training ground with some spectator seats around it.
A sturdy man with a complexion between ash and brock was standing in front of him.
He has strong muscles and is nearly 2 meters tall, like a small mountain.
"!"
The huge shadow loomed over ash, and its imposing manner was so overwhelming that the latter could not help but take a step back.
"Ahaha, you newbie again? Go defeat the weak Cerulean and pewter gyms next door first before you challenge me. I won't show any mercy! Ahahaha!"
The man couldn't help laughing, his expression arrogant.
brock, misty: "!"
I was offended.
Then the two of them slapped their palms on ash's shoulders and said in a deep voice:
"ash, don't give me face."
"ash, quickly borrow Charizard from your friend and teach him a lesson!!"
ash: "."
He put his arms aside, pressed his hat slightly, and looked at the man head on.
"This is my fight, I won't borrow the power of others!"
Although Red Brother is powerful, he is ultimately just an external force, and those Pokémon are just outsiders' Pokémon.
Maybe he will consider using those Pokémon once he gets rid of Red Brother.
red:"."
Or maybe if Brother red is liberated by a monk one day, I can legitimately inherit his inheritance.
Or if I meet a monk in the future, I can pretend to be a scammer and bump into him on purpose?
Then the other party can use the Great Power Heavenly Dragon on him?
It is said that there are many monks in the Johto area.?
red:"?"
Could you please wait till I fall asleep before considering these operations?
ash raised his head and saw the man in front of him with blond hair and a crew cut, wearing a dark green military uniform. He wondered to himself, are trainers now also part-time soldiers?
"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, the future Pokémon Master, and I'm here to challenge you!"
He showed no sign of weakness and shouted with great vigor.
The man nodded slightly, temporarily acknowledging ash's courage to face the challenge.
"It's still better than the previous few stupid guys. Since it's a challenge, I'll follow it."
Before he could finish his sentence, the tall man suddenly widened his eyes.
He saw the Pikachu beside ash's legs, as if he had seen some rare and exotic beast.
"Let me see, it even has an electric mouse with smooth fur, full of electric air bags, and a tail with four standard bends. You have raised a very good Pikachu!"
"It's just that it's a little too fat. Can it still walk fast and use the collision attack with this body size?"
Upon hearing this, aah became unhappy and quickly raised his hand to pad Pikachu, wanting to show that his Pikachu was not too heavy.
But I just lifted it up and I wasn't used to the weight, so my arms pressed down slightly.
Yes, it has sunk again.
But that's not the point.
"My Pikachu is extremely fast! Even a flash of lightning is much faster than others!"
He quickly explained.
"Pika!"
Pikachu said that ash was right and also raised his fist.
"Yes, yes, I recognize you. My name is lt surge, and I am an honorary member of the Electric Mouse branch of the Vermilion City Pokémon Club!"
lt surge suddenly stretched out his broad palm and gestured for a handshake.
ash was stunned. He indeed saw a Pokémon Club next to the Pokémon Center.
He thought it was the Rockets trying to trick people.
Is it popular among rough men to have girlish hearts now?
"If so, let's have a competition of raising electric mice."
ash: "?"
Why do I feel like the plot is developing in a strange direction?
Next, lt surge throws his own Pokémon.
Bang!
This is an electric mouse that is several times larger than Pikachu. Its skin is yellow and black, and its ladder tail has turned into a long, thin tail with a lightning logo.
He looks combative and ready to fight.
"Beep. Raichu, the evolved form of Pikachu, has improved physical strength and electrical power, but its appearance has been lowered. It ranks in the top three of this year's top ten Pokémon that want to degenerate just after evolution."
ash's illustrated book automatically announced.
lt surge: "?"
Raichu: "?"
ash quickly stuffed the illustrated guide back into his pocket.
"Haha, this illustrated book is old-fashioned and likes to talk nonsense, don't mind it"
He was really afraid that this atlas would be torn down one day.
Although this Pokémon called Raichu doesn't seem to be that cute anymore.
For no reason, ash imagined that his Pikachu evolved into Raichu with the help of the Power Amplifier and then crushed his shoulder.
Well, it can't evolve!
Stay away from power amplifiers in the future.
lt surge quickly followed up with an explanation:
"Ahem, although the Vermilion City official blog did rank Raichu in the top three of the list of the top ten Pokémon that want to degenerate after evolution, these are all malicious negative reviews from haters who are unhappy with their lives. In fact, there are many people who like Raichu!"
ash frowned. There actually is such a list.
I'll have to check it out when I get back, to avoid making mistakes later.
"Pika Pika."
Pikachu also noticed the sudden appearance of Raichu, narrowed his eyes, pointed at the latter with his little finger, and couldn't help but bend over with laughter.
What a fat electric mouse!
It's fatter than me! ?
Still black!?
"Pikapi."
ash quickly squatted down and blocked Pikachu's mouth.
Others are Raichu, which is a standard body shape. Don't use your Pikachu's body shape to measure others.
Scallion duck!
They are all good at talking, but how come each one is better at taunting the other! ——
(Trivia: In the game, the entrance to the vermilion Gym requires a one-stroke cut, and the Pokémon Club is next door)
