In the Indigo Plateau Conference Athletes Village.
Tomorrow is the opening day of the Indigo Plateau Conference, but before the opening ceremony, the torch relay will be held first, and the contestants have applied to be torch leaders. Gary did not join in the fun, but stayed in the athlete village and watched the torch relay on TV.
This naturally saw Ash and the other two become torch leaders.
"It's really conspicuous wherever they go." Gary exclaimed.
"Huh? How did Ash and the others become torch escorts?" Sabrina was also surprised.
"Ash always likes to try new things. I guess he met someone on the road who was carrying the torch and asked to be a torch escort." Gary said.
_!
At dusk, Ash and his party arrived at the athlete village.
Gary was naturally in the player village. When he saw Ash, he immediately complained: "Ash, you are so slow. I thought you were going to be late again."
"Gary!"
Ash said: "How could I be late for such an important game? I will definitely fight to the end and defeat you in this game."
Gary smiled and took a look at the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
[LV48 Pikachu/Champion]
The last time I saw Pikachu, Pikachu was only level 40. It has been 8 levels in two months. This improvement speed is not slow. It can be seen that Ash has spent a lot of time training Pokémon in the past two months.
"Really? Then you have to work hard. I'm leaving first." Gary didn't say much and turned around and left.
"Why are you leaving?"
Ash looked puzzled and said: "Strange, Gary usually takes the opportunity to ridicule me, why did he suddenly change his nature?"
"Ash, you are really slow. It's been so long. Don't you see that Gary has been encouraging you?" Misty said.
"Is there?" Ash recalled the past and didn't feel that Gary was motivating him at all. Every time he had a little problem, he would always mock him in a sarcastic way.
"Although Gary did mock, most of the time he was motivating you. Every time you were too distracted, Gary would remind you." Brock interrupted.
"Yes, whether it was in the hot spring town or Cinnabar Island, Gary would point out many problems of yours. Didn't you notice?" Misty said.
Although Ash was slow to react, after a journey and encountering so many things, and after Brock and Misty's reminders, he thought carefully and realized that it was really the case.
"Gary, this guy..." Ash didn't know what to say, but he understood Gary's good intentions.
....!
The second day.
PM: 9:00!
The opening ceremony of the Indigo Plateau Conference began.
A total of 256 contestants participated in the competition. At this moment, all the contestants appeared in the venue of the Indigo Plateau Conference and lined up in an orderly manner.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!!
Fireworks exploded.
A girl with short red hair ran into the venue, holding a torch in her right hand.
"Look, the torch runner is coming. Before this, the torch, which had been passed by hundreds of people, finally arrived at the conference and was heading towards the torch stand in the venue." Host explained.
The girl jogged all the way through the venue, passed every contestant, and climbed onto the torch stand. Just as she was about to throw the torch into the huge torch, two people in ancient Greek costumes appeared on the torch stand and blocked the girl's way.
"Huh?"
The girl was a little confused. She had been told to light the huge torch in the venue, so how could there be two more people suddenly?
Even the Host was confused, but now it was the opening ceremony, and in the face of such an emergency, he had to continue, and forced an explanation: "It seems that there is a woman who is responsible for lighting the fire, and she should give the Holy fire to the other party."
The girl complained in her heart.
This was the Indigo Plateau Conference.
Her family had used a lot of connections to give her the opportunity to become the igniter.
Now that she was robbed in the middle of the game, she was naturally very angry.
But now it was a live broadcast, and the entire Kanto Region would be watching this game.
The girl dared not be willful and could only obediently hand over the Holy Fire to the roadblocker in front of her. "Wait a minute, you can't give the Holy Fire to her!"
At this moment, Ash suddenly ran up to the Holy Fire platform and shouted loudly.
The girl immediately turned around, thinking that there was a turn for the better, but the next second, Jessie grabbed the Holy Fire from the girl's hand. "Too late!"
Jessie snatched the Holy Fire and immediately stepped back, tearing off her clothes at the same time, revealing the Rocket Team's uniform. "So brave."
Gary looked at the Rocket trio that suddenly appeared, and finally understood how the Rocket team in the animation world gradually fell into decline.
This is the Indigo Plateau Conference. The Rocket team is so blatantly making trouble here, which is a slap in the face of Alliance. How can Alliance not cause trouble for the Rocket team?
From this point of view, the Rocket trio cannot be caught, and it may be because of them that the Rocket team in this world is gradually declining.
After careful calculation, the two big money-making projects of the Rocket team in Kanto Region seem to have been ruined by the Rocket trio.
Ash was about to let Pikachu stop the Rocket team, but James released the koffing and stopped Pikachu with smoke. Jessie took the opportunity to throw the torch into the big torch, and Moltres's flame instantly ignited the huge torch.
Immediately afterwards, a giant grasshopper-like robot appeared and carried the huge torch on its back.
"Oh no, something big happened. The holy flame platform was taken away." Host exclaimed.
The audience around was confused, not knowing what was going on. Some of the more creative ones thought it was a performance at the opening ceremony.
However, as the Rockets jumped into the venue with their robots, the audience realized that something was wrong and jumped out of their seats.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt." Ash also ordered Pikachu to attack the Grasshopper Robot, but the Grasshopper Robot had an anti-electric coating on its surface and ignored Pikachu's Thunderbolt°
"Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf " Ash sent Bulbasaur to deal with it, but Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf was burned to ashes by the Holy Fire.
"What!"
Ash didn't expect that the robot made by the Rockets this time was so strong, and the Rockets were manipulating the robot to attack Gary.
"Roar!!"
At this moment, a huge one rushed over.
When the Rockets heard the noise, they saw a giant bipedal beast rushing towards the Grasshopper Robot.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?"
"I don't know."
"I've never seen Meowth before!"
The Rockets couldn't tell what Pokémon was charging at them, but they believed that the robot they had built could definitely withstand the impact.
Dang!!
The giant beast Tackled the Grasshopper Robot, and the robot's body tilted to one side. .
