The next day.
Gary and Sabrina came to the door of the River City gym together.
[Ding! Mission released: Get the River Gym Badge/Rewards: Intermediate Rare CandyX10, Signal Beam Permanent Skill Learning Device, Top-quality Silver Powder (Bug Type Skill Power Increased by 50%)X1]
The system released the mission.
The River Gym is owned by a Bug Type gym owner. Judging from the rewards, this gym owner is quite powerful.
The two pressed the insect-shaped doorbell at the door.
After a while, someone came to open the door.
"Yes! It's you!!"
The person who came to open the door was a boy who was normal to Gary, and he was a sturdy little fat boy.
"You are... a Samurai!!" Gary said in surprise.
The little fat boy in front of him was none other than the insect-catching boy Samurai that Gary met when he first entered the Changpan Forest.
"You are... Gary." The Samurai also called out Gary's name.
"Why are you here?" Gary asked in confusion.
Changpan Forest is far away from River City, and this guy actually ran here.
"I... was defeated by the four Trainers from your Pallet Town, so I went out to train, and then came here and worshipped the gym owner as my teacher." The Samurai said.
After being defeated by the four Rookie Trainers from Pallet Town in a row, the Samurai also had self-esteem. After being defeated by Ash, he planned to imitate the Trainers from Pallet Town and embark on a journey.
Along the way, the Samurai deeply felt his own weakness.
There were far more Trainers stronger than him than the four from Pallet Town, which also hit the Samurai hard.
Finally, when he came to River City, he knew that the gym owner of River Gym was a Bug Type Pokémon Trainer, so the Samurai came here to worship.
"Is that so? Then please take me in. I want to challenge the gym." Gary said.
As a gym apprentice, the Samurai knew his mission and took Gary and Sabrina into the gym.
"My master is very strong, you have to be careful." The Samurai reminded.
"Really? That's really worth looking forward to." Gary Solaceon responded.
Seeing Gary so calm, the Samurai didn't say much. The gym battle later would make Gary regret it.
The Samurai didn't know that Gary's current strength was no longer comparable to that of the past. The Samurai naturally knew that Gary had become stronger, but he didn't think about how strong Gary could become.
Soon, the Samurai brought the two to the support ground in the gym, where a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair at the end.
"Master, someone is here to challenge the gym." The Samurai said respectfully.
"I know, you can go down." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
The Samurai immediately stepped aside to watch.
Sabrina also stepped aside, leaving the venue to Gary and the gym owner.
The gym owner stood up from the chair, walked to the command area, and introduced: "My name is Takeo, and I am the gym owner of River Gym."
Takeo? ? ?
Gary glanced at the exhibition area of the gym. The Samurai also had the surname Takeo. The key point was that Takeo and the Samurai looked very similar, just like a pair of father and son.
Are you two sure there is nothing wrong with each other?
"My name is Gary, from Pallet Town." Gary said.
"The rules of the River Gym are 3 vs 3. If there is no problem, we can start." Takeo said.
"No problem, we can start now."
Takeo nodded and took out a Poké Ball and threw it.
"Go, Beedrill!"
Great!
A 1-meter-tall bee appeared, and its Twineedle made people shudder. If you get stabbed by this Twineedle, you're done.
[LV30 Beedrill♂/Gym]
Level 30, the level can only be said to be Normal, but Takeo saw that Gary was young, so the Pokémon he sent out was not strong.
"Your first gym battle, do well." Gary said to the Poké Ball in his hand, and then threw it out.
"Arcanine!!"
A majestic Arcanine appeared.
"What! Arcanine!!" The Samurai was shocked. As an apprentice of the River Gym, the Samurai naturally knew that fire-type Pokémon were very restrained by his own gym, and Arcanine was also a very rare Pokémon, which was basically impossible to catch.
Takeo was also stunned when he saw Arcanine. Being able to own Arcanine showed that Gary's identity was not simple.
"Flamethrower!" Gary launched an attack directly.
Arcanine's body was surging with flames, and a blazing fire gushed out of his mouth, turning into a fire dragon and rushing towards Beedrill.
"Rapidly rise!"
Beedrill quickly rose to a higher altitude to avoid the flames.
However, Arcanine would not give Beedrill a chance to escape. Fireballs were ejected one after another, and followed closely. Beedrill's speed was not fast, and he was hit by a fireball after dodging a few times.
"Ku ... "What! Beedrill was killed in one hit." The Samurai was shocked. He knew how powerful Takeo's Beedrill was, but he didn't expect that he was not a match for him.
Beedrill was limited by its own Species Strength, so its strength was not strong, and there was no outstanding point on its body, but not every Beedrill was the same as Itaki's.
Besides, Takeo knew that he was a Bug Type gym, and he didn't consider letting Beedrill learn Double Team or Agility. It would be very passive when encountering Fire Pokémon, and there was no chance to approach Rival.
"This Arcanine is very strong, and Normal Bug Type Pokémon is not Rival." Takeo thought to himself.
After taking back the defeated Beedrill, Takeo threw the second Poké Ball.
Great!
A green shadow appeared on the field.
[LV35 Scyther♂/quasi-Elite]
The second Pokémon sent by Takeo was Scyther. It looked quite strong, but it was a pity that it had not evolved. If it had evolved, it would be more afraid of Fire skills.
"Flamethrower!" Gary ordered.
Arcanine spit up flames at Scyther.
"Use Double Team after you dodge," Takeo ordered.
Scyther's Dual Wingbeat on his back spread out, his wings vibrated, and he dodged the flames with a flash, while pulling out shadow clones and quickly approaching Arcanine.
"Arcanine, use Extrreme Speed!" Gary ordered.
"Ouch!!"
Arcanine took a deep breath through his nose, and then quickly rushed in one direction, and there was a Scyther in front of him.
"No, use Cross Chop!" Takeo shouted.
All the Scythers made slashing movements.
Bang! !
However, the next moment, with the sound of Tackle, all the clones around disappeared, and Arcanine and the Scyther were seen tackled together, and both were bounced away by the collision force.
But Arcanine, who had landed, sprayed out a mouthful of flames, and the Scyther, who was about to land, vibrated his wings and flew up to Soaring in the sky to avoid the deadly flames.
Although Scyther is not good at flying, it does not mean that they cannot fly, they just cannot fly for a long time.
"Flame Wheel!" Gary ordered.
