Chapter 44 Bullying The Weak, Ma Zhishi
After the relationship was confirmed, Misty did not hide it.
She directly called herself Ash's girlfriend.
They used to walk side by side, but now they hold hands. 80% favorability is higher than many couples who have been together for many years, not to mention 90%.
Xiaogang congratulated the two and still sighed that Ash, who usually spent all his time on Pokémon, had a girlfriend.
When would he be able to get rid of being single? On the way to Vermilion City, Ash did not forget to level up the lower-level Pokémon in the team.
Charmander, the lowest level at present.
There were many levels of wild Pokémon encountered on the road, and they all became experience packs for leveling it.
The potions and berries in Ash's backpack were also decreasing rapidly.
This also made him more eager to have a Chansey.
However, this leveling method of tilting resources on Charmander in the short term also allowed its level to quickly rise from lv.15 to lv.23 and successfully evolve into Charmeleon.
The new moves learned are Dragon Tail, Fire Fang, and Slash.
The evolution level is much later than that of ordinary Charmander.
This is also what Ash requested.
When he followed Damian, that scumbag.
For various reasons, Charmander has a lot of hidden injuries on his body, which need time to adjust.
Ash considered Charmander and postponed its evolution time.
The fact also proved that his training method was not wrong.
The evolved Charmeleon is far superior to ordinary Charmeleon in color and temperature of tail flame!
And in the evening of the day when he arrived in Vermilion City, after some efforts, Charmeleon's level was raised from lv.23 to lv.26.
It is surprising that Pikachu, who only played a few games with the passerby Trainer, also successfully crossed the "threshold" and rose from lv.39 to lv.40.
Its current level is already very high. If it continues to cross the next level threshold, it can be promoted to the quasi-Elite level.
It is almost the same as many gym leaders' main Pokémon.
But since Pikachu reached level 40, Ash obviously found that
The experience that passers-by Trainers and low-level Pokémon in the wild can give it is already very few.
It is definitely unrealistic to want to raise Pikachu's strength to the quasi-Elite level by leveling up like in the past.
Vermilion City Pokémon Center.
Ash and the other two came to Nurse Joy, preparing to restore the Contest Condition for the tired Pokémon.
Nurse Joy apologized and said that there were too many Pokémon injured in recent times due to challenging the Vermilion Gym, and the Pokémon Center was already too busy.
According to the current queue situation, their Pokémon will have to wait a whole day before the Pokémon can be restored.
After all, their Pokémon are just tired, not injured.
Many Pokémon sent for treatment are seriously injured, and they obviously need treatment more.
"Raticate~~"
"Bi~~"
Listening to the miserable Pokémon one after another Growl.
Without saying anything, Ash called Misty and Xiaogang to head straight to the Vermilion Gym.
This guy Ma Zhishi really didn't hold back!
He used his power to bully the Rookie Trainer!
This left a psychological shadow on many Rookie Trainers, causing them to lose confidence in continuing their journey, and even to become devastated.
Watching the three people leaving, Nurse Joy's pretty face was full of worry.
Would these three Trainers want to challenge the Vermilion Gym?
Ma Zhishi, the hot-tempered gym leader, never showed mercy to the Rookie Trainers and especially liked to bully the weak.
The key point was that she saw Ash had a Pikachu!
Ma Zhishi had a Raichu!
"Chancy, go and get me the Thunder Stone that Alliance landed a while ago!"
"Good luck~~"
Chansey nodded and turned to walk towards the storage room.
"Alas, I hope this Thunder Stone won't come in handy!"
Due to the intimacy bonus of the Joy family, the kind-hearted Nurse Joy decided to give Ash the Evolution Stone when he returned from the battle.
Help him defeat the horse warrior in Vermilion City!
...…
"Ash, you must teach that ignorant horse warrior a lesson later!"
On the way to Vermilion City, Misty said with an indignant look
In her opinion, a qualified gym trainer needs to send out Pokémon of different levels according to the strength of the challenger.
Assess the command level of the trainer and cultivate the ability of Pokémon.
At the same time, help the opponent grow in battle.
Especially when the opponent is just a Rookie Trainer, you must act as a guide and mentor.
And this Vermilion City gym leader is completely bullying the weak by using the identity of the gym leader.
"It's really hard to imagine how such a guy passed the gym leader identity assessment!" Xiaogang also looked solemn.
As a gym leader, he thought of more and more complicated things than Misty.
Just now at the Pokémon Center, he saw all the Trainers holding their Pokémon partners who were covered in bruises.
It can only be said that the Alliance's review of Kanto gym trainers in recent years is too lenient.
"Well, don't worry, I will. Such gym leaders are not worthy of challengers' respect!"
Ash nodded, without Misty's words, even if the system does not issue tasks.
He will also teach Ma Zhishi a lesson.
In the gyms in the Kanto Region, he is not the only Team Rocket Executive who hides his identity.
But this guy's unscrupulous behavior is what Ash hates the most.
"Okay, Retaliate for those Pokémon who were seriously injured by him!"
Misty clenched her fists and waved them excitedly.
It was as if she had seen Ma Zhishi's stinky face after his Raichu lost to Ash.
No one would say anything about normal Pokémon challenges!
It is understandable that gym trainers occasionally lose control of the situation and hurt the challenger's Pokémon in fierce battles.
But for gym leaders like Ma Zhishi, who deliberately injures the opponent's Pokémon and enjoys it, the only choice is to fight violence with violence.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the door of the Vermilion Gym.
As soon as they arrived here, Ash saw a short-haired girl holding a Vulpix that was burned black by electricity and crying while running out of the gym.
That pitiful look is really heartbreaking!
"Hahaha!!!"
"You crying waste, a weakling like you is worthy of challenging our Vermilion Gym?"
A Power Trip came from behind Stephanie, a gloating laugh
Hearing this, Stephanie cried even more sadly.
Holding Vulpix, she staggered away from the Vermilion Gym.
