Chapter 424 Miki Sisters, Gym Battle

"Yes, Ash, you are a trainer recognized by Ho-Oh. I think this is the only place in the entire Johto Region that is worthy of you!"

Morty turned his head and responded. It can be seen that he still attaches great importance to all this.

But Ash had already thought that the very special place Morty mentioned might be the bell tower.

"You are too kind!" Ash responded modestly after hearing this.

It should be said that he and Ho-Oh have never had a direct conversation, so it is not to say that he is recognized by him.

"No, although we haven't fought yet, in my opinion, it's not too much to fight with you. Okay, let's go!

Morty shook his head slightly, then turned and walked towards the gate of the bell tower.

The group followed Morty to the gate, and Morty stepped forward and pushed the gate open.

A burst of ancient and vicissitudes of life came to their faces, and when they entered the tower, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Welcome everyone!"

The four people just walked in, and saw several beautiful figures standing in a row in front of them, with their hands clasped together and inserted into the wide sleeves. "When they saw the arrival of several people, they talked a little.

The five girls were wearing kimonos, and this ancient etiquette made them somewhat uncomfortable.

After greeting, several Stephanie sisters slowly raised their heads, and Sundae saw this scene with a slight flash of light in her eyes.

She was very curious about the reason why these Stephanie sisters appeared here!

At this time, Morty also stepped forward. These Stephanie sisters were the five sisters that Morty had met yesterday. Miki, the leader, took a deep breath and looked at Ash. At the same time, the other Stephanie's eyes also fell on Ash.

"Is this kid the Trainer mentioned?" After a moment, Miki looked at Morty and asked.

"Yes, this is Ash. Ash and his family are descendants of one of the families that once served Ho-Oh, just like my family. We are now guarding this tower together!"

"Hello, my name is Ash!" Ash smiled and introduced himself after hearing this.

Sundae and Serena also introduced themselves.

Several Stephanies reported their names, namely the eldest sister Miki, the second sister Kuni, the third sister Zuki, the fourth sister Naoko, and the youngest sister Sakura.

What was a little surprising was that the name of the youngest sister was the same as the eldest sister of Cerulean Gym Misty, but Sakura was the eldest sister in the Kanto Region, but she became the youngest sister here.

However, according to the introduction, they seemed to have a younger sister, but because she was too young, she was not at the stage of performing with them.

Ash also knew that these five Stephanie's background, they still bear the responsibility of the shrine maidens in this era.

It just seems a bit untimely, because Ho-Oh is no longer there, so their dance can only be used for performance.

But in fact, they all seem to have special spiritual power, which can make the Ho-Oh feather and Clear Bell resonate.

At the same time, in addition to being shrine maidens, they are also Pokémon Trainers. Their strength should not be underestimated. When fighting alone, many weaker gym trainers may not be their Rival.

The strongest among them is Zuki, the third oldest. At the same time, her spiritual power as a shrine maiden is also the strongest among the sisters. In the game, she is the main person who communicates with the protagonist and delivers Clear Bell to the protagonist.

"I'm sorry to bother you. We want to watch this game, can we?"

After introducing each other, Miki came forward and asked Ash politely. After all, she was worried that she would affect the other party when she suddenly asked to watch the game.

"It's okay!"

Ash shook his head slightly.

Having someone watching the game wouldn't affect his performance.

He also knew why they came to watch the game, so he didn't need to take it to heart. "Thank you very much!"

After getting Ash's affirmative response, Miki responded politely again.

It was obvious that they took it very seriously and even changed into the kimono of the shrine maiden.

Except for performances and sacrifices, they would not dress like this on purpose. "Okay, let's go!"

Morty said, and then led everyone over.

This tower was built after the Burned Tower, and it still retains its ancient style.

Even with advanced technology, it is not allowed to install elevators, so everyone can walk upstairs. ....

Fortunately, everyone is well-trained, otherwise it would take a lot of effort to climb to the top of the tower.

Soon they arrived at the top floor, but Morty still did not stop, and continued to lead everyone to a big door.

After opening the door, a strong airflow rushed over.

Everyone looked over and could see the whole picture of Ecruteak City at a glance.

"Standing on it, it looks even higher!" Xin Dai couldn't help but sighed as he watched this scene.

"Let's go!"

Morty said to a few people, then walked out, led everyone on the wooden corridor, and soon came to a staircase.

The stairs lead directly to the top of the tower. Going down the stairs, the stairs are all tiles on the top of the tower, which look dazzling.

Soon everyone came to the top of the tower and found that there was a wide open platform on the top of the tower, and there was a shrine in the center of the platform.

There are four bells about the size of two fists tied around the shrine. These bells are very special and look like they are carved from crystal.

The whole platform is square, and four statues of Ho-Oh are carved in the four corners facing the four directions.

Although there is no battle field, there is still a large open space in front of the shrine that is enough to be used as a battle field.

"Ash, let's fight it out here!"

Walking to the front, Morty bowed slightly towards the shrine, Miki and Morty did the same, then Morty turned his head and looked at Ash and said with a rising fighting spirit.

"I've been waiting for a long time, so come on!"

Ash nodded with a smile, the gym battle was about to begin, and the mission rewards would be available soon.

"Then, if you two don't mind, I'll be the temporary referee!" Miki walked over and said to the two of them.

"I'm fine!"

"I'm fine too!" Ash and Morty nodded one after another after hearing this, indicating that they had no problem.
