"Is this the Pewter City Gym? The style is pretty unique!"
3 days later, Ash and Misty came to Pewter City. After the Pokémons were restored, Ash came to the Pewter Gym, which will be Ash's First Stage Fight with an Emperor!
The appearance of Pewter Gym in front of him is that of a huge stone. It looks like the Gym was directly constructed inside this boulder.
According to the data, the Pokémon used in the Pewter Gym are of Rock Attribute!
For now, Ash had no advantages considering the Attributes. After all, he is yet to get a Water Type Pokémon.
He currently has an Electric, Fire, Flying, and Rock type Pokémon.
Coupled with the fact that this battle was with an Emperor Trainer, with Ash Pseudo-Emperor Late Stage Level, it would surely be a very tough battle!
"Ash, won't you think about it once again!!? You have to challenge an Emperor Trainer to obtain the gem version of Badge, but it's not so easy to obtain, plus you don't have a Water Type Pokémon with you, the result of this battle seems obvious." Ash, who looked firm was advised by the worried Misty!
Misty is the successor of Cerulean Gym. Naturally, she knows the power of Emperor Trainer. After all, her Grandmother is an Emperor-class character. From her childhood till now, Misty has rarely seen her grandma ever personally fighting in battles!
"I've decided, don't underestimate my Pokémon, all my training for the past ten years, all the hardships me and my Pokémon have faced! While you don't know any of it, that is the source of my confidence, and I know we will not fail. Believe it" As Misty said, Ash's eyes were fixed on Pewter Gym's door!
(A.N. while writing this part I honestly didn't realize when I went full talk no Jutsu mode... but I overdid it)
"PikaPikaaaa!" ...(*￣０￣)ノ
Pikachu on Ash's shoulder is also full of fighting intent.
Pikachu also knows that his Species' Strength is low and is just a Kanto region Pokémon that can be seen everywhere known as the Electric mouse!
But the cheats of Ash and the training gave Pikachu the belief and reason to work hard. Plus this Pikachu was clearly blessed, after all, he was also the protagonist in the original work!!
Think about it, it is believed simply impossible for a Pikachu to reach the level of Pseudo-Emperor, in all the Regions. Proving how difficult the training has been all these years, but Pikachu still chose to bear it then, and bears them even now!
Ash has always thought that 'I don't fear the talented, I fear the ones who are hardworking because only those who are hardworking can bring out their true potential!'
And Pikachu is both talented, and hardworking.
Kanto doesn't have many Rock-type Pokémon.
Onix, Geodude, Rhydon, as long as you consider these Rock Attribute Pokémon, one can certainly develop a rough plan!
Ash recalled Kanto's Rock Pokémon data in his mind, and wanted to come up with some unexpected Tactics and plans that could reverse the situation before the battle!
After entering the Pewter Gym, Ash saw that it was dark at first, and then the light bulbs in the hallway suddenly lit up.
"Who are you?" A youngster about 1 year older than Ash asked.
"Are you the Brock of Pewter City? I am Ash from Pallet Town. I came here to challenge for a Gym Battle!" The youngster in front of Ash nodded. He is the Gym Trainer named Brock in the previous news!
"This is the first time you have come to Gym to challenge, I advise you to give up, This is a Gym battle, not a game!"
"No need to say more, I'm not a rookie, and I have not come to challenge you, but your grandfather Harlon!" Listening to Brock's tone, Ash could see that he was being treated as a Beginner Trainer, but Ash is not so easy to be bullied!
"Challenge my grandfather!! Are you serious!?" Brock's pupils shrank as he asked Ash surprised.
His grandfather is an Emperor Trainer, no one has dared to challenge him for nearly ten years!
"No need to talk anymore Brock, this youngster is indeed here to challenge me. If I'm right, then Ash or perhaps I should call you Yulong Yezhi!" Just then, an elderly person came slowly!
"Are you Mr. Harlon Harrison? My name is Ash Oak, not the other rubbish you said. I hope you can always remember this!" The old man in front of Ash seemed to emanate a mysterious pressure that only emperor-level beings could possess.
Although Ash knew that there will be a power gap, this gap proved to be wider than Ash imagined. But Ash himself wasn't too bad, able to bear the pressure without showing any weakness.
"People when old, their memory will always be a bit bad. Since you want to challenge me, you must know the rules too. Come with me, Brock. Although your goal is to become a breeder, you would still need to fight someday! And this fight will prove to be a valuable experience"
looking at Ash resisting his pressure, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly and was very amazed at his heart. After all, few youngsters can now face it without a change in their expressions!
Soon, Harlan brought Ash and the others to Battlefield. The Battleground was huge, and about 3 football fields. Don't think it's exaggerated.
The battle of Pokemon is very dangerous, especially for the small-sized Pokemon!
What Ash does not know is that there is a full range of surveillance cameras on the top of the battlefield. There are 2 old people, 2 middle-aged and a youngster observing the battle through the camera!
These people are Yulong Tian, Yulong Kiko, Yulong Shi, Yulong
Zhi, and Ash's elder cousin Yulong Du, they originally intended to watch the recording, but Yulong tian thought that it would be better to watch it live!
(A.N. KONNICHIWA!! stalker kun)
So they came here 2 days ahead of Ash and planned to take a closer look at Ash's strength!
"Pseudo-Emperor Late Stage!" Looking at Ash on the screen, Yulong Zhi only felt as if his throat was stuck!
"Is this my cousin? Damn really strong, in front of him my title of Genius seems to be a farce!" Ash's elder cousin Yulong Du was shocked at Ash's strength!
"He looks very handsome, there is a shadow of my Zhi!"(Yulong Zhi, Ash's dad)
"Samuel Oak, that old fellow no wonder is so arrogant whenever he talks about the level of Ash, even dare to swindle me!"
***
"I don't need to say more about the rules of the game. Three Pokemon will be used. The Trainer can change Pokémon at will during the battle, but Gym Leader can't!"
On the 2 sides of the Battlefield, Harlan said to Ash.
Suddenly releasing a large amount of Emperor Force and gathering his momentum, Harlan called out in an imposing manner-
"Come out, Rhydon!" Wu Xiong moved towards the center of the battlefield and threw a red and white Pokéball. After a burst of white light, a huge Rhydon appeared in front of Ash!
"System, analyze the data!" Seeing Rhydon the next second, Ash immediately told the system to analyze Rhydon's data!
[Ding ~!]
Name: Rhydon
Level: Emperor Middle-Stage
Characteristic Trait: Lightning Rod, stone head
Attribute: Ground & Rock Attribute
Potential: 100% (56% developed)
------------------
"Tch, It's stronger than expected. It seems that this is going to be a tough battle!" Looking at Rhydon's data, Ash recalled the previously analyzed plan in his mind, but the system's data rendered that plan effectless.
"It seems that I will have to go impromptu! Growlithe, come out!"
In the face of overwhelming strength, Ash gave up the analysis and directly threw a golden and white Pokéball, a white light flashed, and Growlithe, a very prominent figure in his class, appeared opposite Rhydon!
..
Hmm, so I take a week's break now? or give you guys a target??
*evil chuckles*. Oh, I am still writing... well not that it matters kek.
but anyway I'll just give you guys some chapters before going on a break before a cliffhanger...something like
What will happen next? Will ash realize that he was overconfident in challenging the Gym Master? Or maybe ash will prove that nothing is impossible and will win this impossible-seeming battle? Let's meet again in the next episode!!
