Chapter 16 Nibi Gym, Milotic Appears

"Misty, why don't we stop here today!"

"We've only just arrived, there's still a street to go shopping!"

At night, in the commercial street of Nibi City.

Ash and Pikachu looked tired, their eyes were dull, and they were carrying so many things.

Pika～～

Ash and Pikachu looked at each other and both wailed!

If they had known earlier, they would have challenged the Nibi Gym directly!

At night, Misty dragged him out to go shopping. At first, Ash didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Since he was paying, Misty picked out some cheap travel casual clothes and toys such as dolls.

All of these together are not worth much, and the main point is high cost performance.

But this made Ash and Pikachu very tired!

It's okay to be physically tired, but it's mainly mentally tired.

While shopping, Misty kept asking which clothes are beautiful and which toys are cute.

Fortunately, Ash is patient enough now. If he were the stupid guy in the original world line, he would have clamored to go back to the Pokémon Center!

This also made Misty's affection for Ash soar rapidly.

Such a reliable and considerate boy is rare!

Compared with the original plot where she would quarrel with Ash at every turn, Misty's temper has been restrained a lot now.

At least when it comes to Ash!

...

The next day, early in the morning.

The two said goodbye to Nurse Joy and followed Flint's instructions to arrive in front of the Nibi Gym.

This is a square stone building.

Compared with the gyms in the regions behind the original world line, which have distinctive decoration styles and are extremely impressive, it is much worse.

It is understandable that Gon has ten younger brothers and sisters to take care of at home.

After sending Ash and Misty to the gym, Flint stammered and found an excuse and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to Flatter Gon severely, thinking that a Rookie Trainer like Ash would never be able to defeat him.

Ash did not take it to heart.

"Is anyone there?"

Pushing open the heavy stone wall gym door, the two entered the gym

"Is it you who wants to challenge the gym? Or is it the girl next to you?"

A familiar voice sounded.

The lights in the gym turned on simultaneously, barely illuminating the originally dim venue.

Sitting cross-legged on a boulder, the hedgehog-haired boy with squinting eyes swept his eyes over the two people.

He was the gym leader of Nibe City, Xiaogang, one of the protagonists of the original series.

"Hello, gym leader, I am Ash from Pallet Town, who came to challenge Nibe Gym!"

Ash walked forward to the side of the battle site.

Xiaogang shook his head and looked at the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

"This should be your first time to challenge a gym!"

"The gym competition is very different from the small battle on the roadside. It is the official competition of the Pokémon Alliance!"

Bringing Pikachu to challenge him, it can be seen that he is a Rookie who has not learned the attribute restraint.

"Of course I know. The gym battle is set up by the Pokémon Alliance, and the gym leader cannot refuse the Trainer's challenge without reason!"

Ash nodded and chuckled.

"You know a lot. In that case, let's do it."

Brock turned and walked to the other side of the battle field.

Misty, who was standing next to Ash, also noticed the barely detectable contempt on Brock's face when he turned around.

Is this gym trainer looking down on Ash?

He will suffer a big loss later!

Misty secretly complained about Brock's underestimation of the enemy.

Although she had not traveled with Ash for a long time, she was already impressed by his amazing performance in the Pokémon battle.

Although Ash currently has no means to restrain the rock-type Pokémon, if Brock underestimates the enemy and regards him as a rookie Rookie, he will definitely pay the price for it.

"The battle is 2v2. When both Pokémon of either side lose their combat capability, the game ends. The challenger can change Pokémon in the middle of the game!"

On the battlefield, the oldest of Brock's brothers and sisters acted as the referee.

The others cheered for their brother in the audience.

"Then, my first Pokémon to go into battle is this one!"

"Get ready for battle, Geodude!"

Slightly different from the original world line, this time Brock did not send Onix directly, but let Geodude take the lead!

Geodude with Rock and Ground Type.

Geodud, Qualification: Blue, Level: lv.15

This Geodude is of a very low level and has Normal Qualification.

I think it should be the gym battle Pokémon that Brock, as a gym trainer, specially prepared for the Rookie Trainer.

Ash raised his eyebrows and smiled, and moved the brim of his hat slightly!

In that case, I will not show mercy!

After all, this was his first gym battle in the Pokémon world. Although Rival was not strong, Ash was still ready.

He reached out to touch the Poké Ball hanging on his waist.

"From this point of view, it should be Pidegeotto!"

Misty, who was familiar with Ash, whispered.

Among Ash's handheld Pokémon, Metapod and Feebas are not capable of fighting.

Pikachu was standing on Ash's shoulder. He probably released Pidegeotto from the Poké Ball!

Ash reached out and pressed the center button of the Poké Ball to enlarge it.

The originally small red and white ball instantly became the size of a palm.

Then he threw the Poké Ball into the air.

A red light jumped out, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of Ash.

At this moment, Xiaogang and Misty were stunned!

This is Milotic!

Or a different color Milotic!

This beautiful figure is an extremely rare Pokémon in Kanto!

It also shocked Xiaogang, who has been in charge of the Nibe Gym for a long time and is knowledgeable.

Even his squinting eyes opened, even though they still looked like a slit, but he really tried hard.

Now something went wrong. He originally thought it was just a fledgling Rookie Trainer.

Just now he was still thinking about how to defeat it without leaving a psychological shadow on the opponent.

"This Milotic, could it be Feebas..."

Although he could guess, Misty still found it unbelievable.

This is Milotic, a rare Pokémon that many water-type Trainers dream of.

Compared to Magikarp, which is everywhere in rivers and floods

Feebas is rare, and the conditions for evolving into Milotic are also very harsh. There are many versions circulating in the Pokémon world.

It's only been a few days, and Ash actually made it evolve successfully.

Looking at the noble and elegant Milotic in the field.

Misty made up her mind that after the gym battle is over, she must interrogate Ash.

Find out the secret of Feebas' evolution!
