Chapter 25 Beast A.J. Breaks The Winning Streak

"Pidegeotto, use Hurricane!"

Hu~~

The whistling wind blew the Raticate on the opposite side away, and then it fell heavily to the Ground.

On the way to Vermilion City, Ash encountered many passers-by Trainers who challenged him.

The level of their Pokémon was similar to that of wild Pokémon, but the experience points they could provide to Pidegeotto were much higher.

After 20 consecutive wins, Pidegeotto's level increased from lv.28 to lv.30.

Learned new moves Agility and Feather Dance.

Agility can relax the body and make it light, so that Agility can greatly increase its speed.

This move is very important for Pidegeotto who focuses on speed.

The passer-by took back the Raticate who lost its fighting ability.

"Your Pidegeotto is so powerful. If it were you, you might be able to defeat that A.J!"

"Which A.J?"

Misty looked at the passer-by Trainer curiously.

According to him, a trainer named Beast Master A.J. built a gym not far ahead and has been on a winning streak.

"Oh? Really? Then I want to go and see it!"

Ash showed an interested look.

Ding! ! !

Trigger the plot mission: Defeat Beast Master A.J., interrupt his winning streak and make him change his mind and set off on a journey.

Mission Reward: Trump Card Flying Skills (Make Flying Pokémon understand the true meaning of Flying skills and control the wind field)

! ! ! !

Control the wind field, a high-level skill of Flying Pokémon masters.

When Tailwind, Pidegeotto's speed can be faster than usual.

Such a good thing must not be missed.

Ash decisively accepted the task.

The group came to a simple tent beside the road.

The signboard said "98 consecutive wins".

A huge tent and a slightly simple battle field is the so-called Beast Master A.J.'s gym.

"You came just in time. It seems that today is the day to get 100 consecutive wins and start the journey!"

"Really? Then I'm afraid you will never be able to set off!"

Ash looked at A.J., who had a dark green hedgehog head and a long whip in his hand, and laughed.

It's not difficult to beat A.J. At this moment, Ash is still thinking about how to persuade him to leave after defeating him.

Rather than starting to accumulate wins again!

"Huh! You are so arrogant, then give it a try!"

"Get ready for battle, Sandshrew!"

[Pokémon: Sandshrew, Qualification: Blue, Level: lv.26]

The size and skin color of this Sandshrew are very good.

It seems that it should be the Trump Card Pokémon carefully cultivated by A.J.

Although the Trainers on this road are very weak, and some guys' Pokémon levels are not even as good as wild ones.

But being able to win 98 consecutive victories can still prove the strength of A.J's Sandshrew.

"Milotic, play with it!"

In the original world, A.J often asked Sandshrew to Dive.

He wanted Sandshrew to overcome his fear of water with willpower.

Ash planned to approach from this angle.

Let him realize the harm of staying here and working in isolation, and change his mind.

A white light flashed, and Milotic appeared!

Wow~~I've never seen a water-type Pokémon before!

But he was not afraid, because his Sandshrew was no longer afraid of water-type moves after hard work!

Snap!!!

A.J swung the long whip in his hand and lashed it on the ground.

Sandshrew moved upon hearing the news, and it rolled out at high speed after a high Splash and rushed towards Milotic.

"Water Gun!"

Milotic raised his head slightly, and a Water Gun accurately hit Sandshrew in the air and sent it flying.

Bang!!!

Through the mountain~~

Sandshrew fell to the ground and let out a painful Growl.

"What? Sandshrew, cheer up!"

"Haven't you overcome your fear of water-based moves long ago?"

A.J obviously couldn't accept this result.

However, Ash didn't give him a chance to think.

Sandshrew, who had just stood up, was hit by another Water Pulse from Milotic before he could take action.

"Sandshrew, wake up!"

Pah Pah Pah! ! !

This time, no matter how he swung the whip in his hand, Sandshrew, who was in the chaotic Contest Condition, couldn't hear it.

Sandshrew began to attack himself in a daze.

Then he was defeated by Milotic's Water Gun.

From start to finish, the battle was over in less than a minute.

A.J claimed that Sandshrew, who was uniquely not afraid of water, failed to pose any threat to Milotic throughout the battle!

"I lost!"

"You are very powerful, Ash from Pallet Town. It seems that my winning streak will start again!"

A.J wanted to change the sign with his head down.

At this time, Ash called him out: "Wait, do you really think that your so-called training is effective?"

"What do you want to say?"

A.J looked at Ash and frowned.

"As a trainer, you made a mistake!"

"What is it?"

"It is your responsibility to help Pokémon play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Instead of thinking about letting Sandshrew overcome its fear of water, it is better to increase its speed and move power to avoid being hit by the opponent's water Pokémon skills, and then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack!"

Ash explained to him patiently.

In the final analysis, A.J still fell into a misunderstanding.

Even if Ground Pokémon can overcome its fear of water, it does not mean that it can weaken the damage of water skills.

The so-called playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses is naturally to maximize the strengths of Pokémon while preventing the enemy Pokémon from attacking one's weaknesses.

It is okay to do some corresponding special training appropriately, but taking waterproof training as the main course is putting the cart before the horse.

Seeing A.J.'s expression somewhat confused, Ash took advantage of the victory and then changed the topic to "No winning streak, no traveling!" Ash briefly explained the interests to him.

He also pointed out that the level of the passerby Trainer was too low, and such a winning streak was basically meaningless.

After a lot of persuasion, A.J. was finally convinced by him.

He decided to pack up his makeshift "gym" and set off on the journey to challenge the gym Trainer.

Ding! ! ! Successfully defeated the beast user A.J. and persuaded him to embark on the journey.

Reward: Trump Card Flying member skills (make Flying Pokémon understand the true meaning of Flying skills and control the wind field) ! ! ! ! Ash immediately smiled with satisfaction.

After spending so much time with A.J, it was not in vain!
