Chapter 50: Intercepting Ash's PokéMon
"Congratulations, this is a pure white badge, proof of defeating the Lewis Gym."
After the battle, leo walked in front of Gary and handed his own gym badge to Gary.
"Thank you."
Gary took the badge.
[Ding! Mission completed, rewards have been distributed to the space backpack. ]
Gary looked at the badges and found that the badges in the Kanto Region are named after the color of the badge.
The Pewter Gym is the Boulder Badge.
The Cerulean Gym is the Cascade Badge.
The Vermilion Gym is the Thunder Badge
...!
Only the Celadon Gym is a colorful badge, but it is also named after the color.
After the gym battle.
Gary and Sabrina returned to the Pokémon Center to pack their bags and will leave lewis Town tomorrow.
Gary handed Scizor and Blastoise to Nurse Joy, and went to the public training ground to release his Pokémon for Performance training.
Before training, Gary called Exeggutor and Golbat over
Seeing that Gary had kept them, Exeggutor and Golbat thought that Gary was going to change their training method.
"You have reached the level, so I will upgrade you." Gary said, putting his hands on Exeggutor and Golbat, consuming 5 low-level Rare Candy, and raising their levels to level 30.
"Exegg!"
"Golbat!"
The two Pokémon were surprised, feeling that they had been upgraded, and even awakened new skills.
Seeing this, Gary also checked their Attribute changes.
[Pokémon: Exeggutor♂]
[Attribute: Grass, Psychic]
[Level: 30]
[Potential: Quasi-Elite]
[Ability: Chlorophyll]
[Skills: Absorb, Hypnosis, Reflect, Leech Seed, Confusion, Egg Bomb, Bullet Seed. ]
[Teacher's skill: Dream Eater. ]
[Intimacy: 240 (full value 255)]
...!
[Pokémon: Golbat♂]
[Attribute: Poison, Flying]
[Level: 30]
[Potential: Gym]
[Ability: Penetration (can penetrate Rival's barrier or Substitute to attack.)]
[Skills: Absorb, Supersonic, Mean Look, Poison Fang, Cross Poison, Air Cutter. ]
[Intimacy: 170 (max value 255)]
Exeggutor and Golbat are lucky. They have reached level 30 and both have awakened new skills.
Exeggutor has awakened Bullet Seed, which is one of the few grass-type physical attack skills of Exeggutor. Moreover, Exeggutor has three brains, so it is more advantageous to use this skill.
Golbat has awakened Air Cutter. Although the power is not high, it finally awakened a Flying-type skill, giving Golbat an additional attack skill of other types, making up for the shortcomings in attack.
Gary also tried to let Exeggutor learn Mega Kick.
[Ding! Learning failed, this Pokémon cannot master Mega Kick. ]
Gary was a little surprised when he heard the system prompt that learning failed.
Can't Mega Kick be learned if you have legs?
Exeggutor has legs, why can't it learn it?
"Okay, you guys go to training." Gary didn't care much and threw Macho Brace to Exeggutor and Golbat.
The two Pokémon put it on immediately and started today's training.
And Gary was not idle either. He came to Alakazam who was doing Confusion training, touched Alakazam, and taught Alakazam Mega Kick.
This time, the system did not prompt failure.
[Pokémon: Alakazam♂]
[Attribute: Psychic]
[Level: 23]
[Potential: Quasi-Elite]
[Ability: Psychic (Possessing a trained spirit, and will not flinch from Rival's attacks. Also unshaken by intimidation.)]
[Skills: Teleport, Confusion, Psybeam, Reflect, Miracle Eye, Disable. ]
[Professor Skills: Dream Eater, Mega Kick. ]
[Intimacy: 200 (max value 255)]
Alakazam does master Mega Kick, but Alakazam's mastery of this skill does not improve it much.
Alakazam's physical attack Species Strength is only 50, which is similar to the starter form of the three starter Pokémon. It can be used against some weak Pokémon, but it is useless against overly powerful Pokémon.
Mega Kick is only suitable for high physical attack races and heavyweight Pokémon.
However... Mega Kick is a skill given by the system. Since Alakazam can learn it, then learn it. It is always good to have more skills. Moreover, teaching Pokémon skills can also improve intimacy.
The effect of intimacy is just to make Pokémon more obedient to training, but Gary knows that the higher the intimacy, the more Pokémon can break through their own limits in battle and exert unexpected combat power.
It's a pity that Alakazam can learn Dream Eater, but not Hypnosis. Unless Rival actively lets his Pokémon use Rest, Dream Eater cannot be used.
It seems that the skill Hypnosis cannot be taught, and Alakazam also has it in his racial skills. It depends on whether Alakazam can awaken Hypnosis in the future.
After teaching Alakazam Mega Kick, Gary tried to teach Growlithe Mega Kick, but naturally failed. Growlithe was also unable to master this skill.
Helplessly, Gary had to give up and wait for Blastoise and Scizor to recover before teaching them.
The result was... Scizor couldn't learn, but Blastoise mastered it.
...!
One day later.
Gary and Sabrina left Hengbin Town and rode all the way to City.
After a day's long journey, they came to a mountainous area. There were few green plants here, only mountains and rocks.
"Ash's Primeape was captured here." Gary remembered the environment here.
Ash met Primeape in this area on his way to Celadon City. The Primeape's fighting talent was quite amazing, and even helped Ash win the P1 Fighting Competition.
In the end, Ash saw that Primeape loved fighting, so he gave Primeape to Anthony, saying that they would meet in the future. As a result, the finale came, Pidgeot returned, but Primeape did not appear.
The key is that the potential of that Primeape is not low. Gary estimated that it has at least the potential of Elite. It was just given away by a fool. It is a waste of talent.
Fighting competitions can be participated at any time. There is no need to give Primeape away, especially since Primeape can further evolve into Annihilape.
Since Ash is destined to release this Primeape, it is better for Gary to capture this Primeape himself. Gary is currently lacking a Fighting Pokémon.
According to the timeline, Primeape has not evolved yet. It is just a Mankey and usually moves on the mountain roads.
Moreover, this Mankey is not afraid of people. He also accepts the rice balls given by Ash and others. He may often get food from passers-by, so he is not afraid of people.
