The same goes for Gary. Although he is Professor Oak's grandson, he spent most of his childhood in town. He only stayed in Cyan City for three years when he was learning martial arts, but he spent those three years practicing martial arts and never had any fun.
"So when do you plan to challenge the gym?" Sabrina asked.
"tomorrow morning."
It's only Thursday.
Auctions in Vermilion City are held on weekends and holidays. I don't have much to do tomorrow, so I might as well take down the Vermilion City Gym.
"Don't you have enough Pokémon to capture yet?" Sabrina then asked.
Sabrina knew that Gary planned to go to the auction, where rare or high-potential Pokémon were auctioned.
But Shigeru has too many Pokémon. Even if he wants to capture new Pokémon, he should at least let the current batch of Pokémon grow up before training new ones.
“That’s not enough. I’m planning to catch a Pidgeot. I’d like to see if there are any at the auction,” said Gary.
"Pigeons, can't you just catch them in the wild?"
Sabrina thought Gary needed to catch a rare Pokémon, but it turned out to be just Pidgeot. Pidgeys that can evolve into Pidgeot in the wild are not uncommon.
"Let's forget about the ones in the wild," Xiao Mao said, waving his hand.
Gary had considered catching a Pidgeot in the wild, since a wild-raised Pidgeot would definitely have good potential.
However, Pidgeot is a social animal. When Pidgeotto evolves into Pidgeot, it will become the king of the forest and protect the surrounding Pidgey and Pidgey.
If Pidgeot in this group is tamed, the entire group may collapse, because Pidgeot and Finch are natural enemies.
Pidgey becomes a solitary bird after evolving into Pidgeotto, making it easy for Finch to kill. While Finch and Spearow also eat insects, they will also attack Pidgey. Before Pidgeot appeared, Pidgey and Pidgey were no match for Finch and Spearow.
Gary was well aware of this, which is why he didn't go to the wild to catch Pidgeot. Besides, with Gary's current strength, even if he went to the wild, he might not be a match for a wild Pidgeot.
After all, Pidgeots that can evolve in the wild are generally level 40 or higher, and with Pidgeot accompanied by Pidgeotto and Pidgey, it's not necessarily possible to defeat them.
Sabrina didn't ask any more questions. After a day of fun, Sabrina felt that trying some new things was pretty good. Before, in the dojo, she only trained her superpowers all day long. She didn't expect there to be so many fun things outside.
...!
Day two.
morning.
Shigeru and Sabrina arrived at the entrance of the Vermilion Gym.
The Vermilion Gym has a very modern architectural style, with various lightning bolt symbols decorating the facade, making it obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that it is an Electric-type gym.
"Here comes another one."
"Sigh... I hope he wasn't seriously injured."
People passing by whispered among themselves when they saw Xiao Mao and Na Zi.
As residents of Vermilion City, they know very well what kind of person Lt. Surge is. His fighting style is brutal, and he will defeat any challenger with a brutal fighting style, which also causes the challenger's Pokémon to be seriously injured. The Pokémon Center here is also busier than the Pokémon Centers in other cities.
[Ding! Mission issued: Obtain the Vermilion City Gym Badge / Rewards: 5 Low-Grade Rare Candies, 5 Medium-Grade Rare Candies! Permanent TM Thunderbolt, Superior Magnet (increases the power of Electric-type moves by 50%).]
What? Why are there two kinds of magical candies given out? Is this to mean that Lt. Surge's strength is somewhere between low and medium level?
After several missions, Gary figured out that the system's mission rewards depend on the opponent's strength. Previously, he only received low-level Rare Candies, but when he reached the Goldenrod Gym, he received mid-level Candies.
Judging from this, the next four gyms are all quite strong, and the Rare Candies they reward will definitely be at least mid-level, and there might even be high-level Rare Candies.
Then you'll have to use these low-level magical candies sparingly, because you won't be able to get any more low-level magical candies later.
Xiao Mao walked to the door, looked around, but didn't see the doorbell, so he pushed open the dojo door.
The first thing you see is a spacious battlefield, which is quite dark inside. At the far end, there are several men and women dressed in biker gang attire.
The people here are all dressed in menacing ways; a child would definitely be terrified if they were in the presence of them.
The biker gang members all looked at Shigeru and Sabrina, wondering what they were doing there.
"Hello, I'm here to challenge the gym. Is Lt. Surge Gym Leader here?" Gary asked.
Upon hearing that Shigeru had come to challenge the gym, the biker gang members present all showed a look of disdain.
"Master, another victim has arrived," a male biker gang member said, turning around.
"Hmph, someone actually dares to challenge me. Let me see who it is." From the shadows, a tall and burly figure stood up. Because it was too dark, his face could not be seen.
As the other person approached and came into view under the light, it became clear that he was a blond, muscular European man wearing only a jacket with the zipper open, revealing his well-developed pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles.
"Wow, you're really strong."
Although Xiao Mao knew what Maslow looked like, he was still shocked by his physique when he saw him for the first time. Only the wrestling monsters in WWE could compare to him.
Welcome to Konoha City!
Ma Xueshi opened his arms and hugged Naz directly.
Instantly, Sabrina's eyes emitted a blue light, and a powerful impact sent Mt. Surge flying.
"Master, are you alright?"
"what are you doing?"
When the bikers saw Lt. Surge suddenly being knocked away, they all questioned Natsumi about what she meant and why she attacked Lt. Surge.
"I don't like strangers touching me," Sabrina warned coldly, her eyes glowing blue. A heavy pressure descended on the shoulders of the berserkers, instantly immobilizing them.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless. Please stop." Lt. Surge realized that Sabrina was a superhuman and immediately apologized.
Only after hearing Maslow's apology did Natsu release her psychic suppression.
The biker gang members realized that the black-haired girl in front of them was no ordinary person, so they immediately put away their arrogant attitude and obediently stayed to the side.
M. Surge looked at Natsume and asked seriously, "Who are you?"
"My name is Gary, I'm from Pallet Town, and I'm here to challenge the gym."
"Nazi."
Both Xiao Mao and Na Zi responded.
Chapter 42: VS Maslow
“Sabrina…! You’re the Saffron Gym Leader!!” As the Gym Leader of the Kanto region, Lt. Surge recognized Sabrina and knew that she was a psychic.
But... why is Sabrina here?
“The Goldenrod Gym is now managed by my father; I am no longer the gym leader,” Sabrina said.
Masze was embarrassed. He had intended to take advantage of Naz, but he hadn't expected to run into a tough opponent. Luckily, he apologized in time, or he would have been in serious trouble.
Although Najun tried her best to hide Natsu's situation, Goldenrod City and Vermilion City are so close that Lt. Surge had heard about Natsu and knew that she was a powerful psychic.
"Can we start the gym battle now?" Shigeru interrupted their conversation.
Xiao Shi didn't want to waste too much time in gym battles; ending them early would allow his Pokémon to start their morning training.
“Alright, then come with me.” Lt. Surge looked at Shigeru. Although he was just a child, he could be with Natsume, so Lt. Surge put away his underestimation of him.
The two arrived at a battleground and stood in the command areas on either side.
Vermilion City Gym is quite advanced, after all, trainers who specialize in Electric-type Pokémon are all tech enthusiasts, so the gym they build is naturally very advanced.
The referees are all handled by an intelligent management system.
"The gym battles will now begin, and the matches will be 1-on-1."
when!
As the bell rang, Lt. Surge threw out a Poké Ball.
"Go, Raichu!"
Baton!
A plump Raichu appears. Compared to other Raichu, Lt. Surge's Raichu is very robust, much like its trainer, and has a fierce expression.
【LV30 Raichu♂/Gym】
Lt. Surge's Raichu has decent potential, but its level isn't very high.
"Scizor, it's yours now." Gary threw out the Poké Ball.
Baton!
"twitter!"
The giant scyther, clad in crimson armor, makes its appearance.
"This kid is indeed extraordinary." Lt. Surge naturally knew about the Pokémon Scizor. Just having Scizor alone made him stronger than most of the trainers who came here to challenge him.
"Game start."
when! ! !
The alarm bells have been rung.
The battle is about to break out.
"One hundred thousand volts!"
"A flash of lightning!"
Both sides issued instructions simultaneously.
Raichu's cheek crackled with electricity as it unleashed a laser beam. Scizor, using Quick Attack to accelerate, easily dodged the lightning, reached Raichu, and rammed it away.
"thunder!"
Raichu, who was sent flying, was very unwilling. As he flew backward, his body emitted arcs of electricity and shot out a golden bolt of lightning.
"Shadow clone."
Scizor immediately used Shadow Clone, causing Thunderbolt to miss, and the clones also surrounded Raichu.
"Slash!" Xiao Mao continued his attack.
The Scizor and its clones rushed toward Raichu, its pincers enveloped in insect energy.
“It will release the electric shock in a scattering manner,” M. Surge immediately shouted.
"thunder!"
