"Don't worry about it. If you want to express your gratitude, could you give me one of these?" Ash said with a smile in response. He then walked to the side and picked up one of the Pokémon enhancers that Shō had made himself.
This item was equivalent to a weight, and all of his Pokémon here were using it. His training was actually very scientific, and this enhancer was well-made. If Pokémon used it, it could indeed enhance their physical fitness.
"That one? Sure, it doesn't take long to make one. Take as many as you want, no problem." Seeing that Ash wanted it, Shō didn't refuse. Instead, he was very happy because Ash wanting that item meant that Ash recognized his training methods.
"I'll just take one." Ash only took one. It has to be said that Shō's craftsmanship was good. This item could be adjusted according to the Pokémon's size, so most Pokémon could use it, provided they were of similar size.
Large Pokémon like Onix wouldn't work, and for bodies like Onix and Gyarados, equipping this enhancer wouldn't have much effect, as their strength was already very high. But for Pokémon like Pikachu and Axew, which are similar in size to Sandshrew, it could be used and would yield very good results.
Although he only had one, and they could only use it in turns, he couldn't possibly carry so many. Although Shō was very enthusiastic, Ash also felt uncomfortable asking for too many.
"So what are you planning to do next? Continue holding this challenge here?" Ash accepted an enhancer, and Misty beside him also asked.
"No, Ash is right. Constantly striving for the goal of a hundred consecutive wins will only make me unable to accept failure. I've decided to leave here and travel, challenging Gyms everywhere!" He had made this decision after returning.
Although he had been training Pokémon here, constantly growing stronger, and had encountered many challengers, Ash's arrival made him realize that there were many other Trainers like Ash outside. The thought made him unable to stay in this place any longer; he wanted to go out and see more scenery.
"Ash, I hope we'll have a chance to meet at the League Tournament in the future. I definitely won't lose to you then!" Shō looked at Ash, walked up to him, and extended his hand. He knew Ash was also a Trainer aiming for the League Tournament, and he also planned to participate.
"Alright! Let's have a decisive battle then!" Ash replied. However, if he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to see him at the Indigo Plateau Conference. He wondered if something happened during the process.
...
"Then we'll take our leave." Everyone came out of the private Gym. Shō locked it up. The scoreboard above remained at the previous winning streak. But Shō didn't turn it off.
He left the number there to remind himself that he lost here, but now he could accept failure calmly. "Unconsciously, we've gained another rival!" Brock looked in the direction Shō left and couldn't help but say to Ash.
"Yeah! That's the most meaningful part of traveling. Let's go too!" Saying that, Ash sped up. "Wait for us, Ash!" Misty, seeing this, quickly shouted from behind and followed.
After leaving Shō's private Gym, the group set off again. Along the way, it was the same as usual: they encountered many challengers, and without exception, Ash defeated them one by one.
Shō didn't get his hundred consecutive wins, but Ash was quickly approaching a hundred consecutive wins on his journey. Unconsciously, night fell. The group stayed another night in the wilderness. After dinner, Ash continued to train with his Pokémon.
Pikachu continued to hone Electro Ball, and Ash also used the Pokémon enhancer on his Pokémon. The effect was still very good. Ash had been training his Pokémon all along, so it wasn't like in the anime where Pikachu would become completely immobile and shrink into a ball after putting it on.
Ash trained until late at night before taking his Pokémon back to rest. Everyone's new moves had improved, especially Pikachu's Electro Ball, which was now even more refined.
He believed it should be completed before reaching Vermilion City. The next day, after Ash finished his morning training, the group packed up and continued on their way. Unconsciously, they entered a forest.
"What's going on? It's been foggy everywhere since we just entered." As they walked, they found the forest filled with dense fog. The forest paths were already hard to discern, and with the fog, it was even harder to tell their location. "Yeah! At times like this, even maps are useless. It seems we're lost."
Brock looked at the map. Although the map showed clear routes, the surrounding routes were obscured, making it impossible to tell which way was the correct route indicated on the map.
"Getting lost during a journey is common. Let's just take our time finding our way! Anyway, we're not in a hurry." Indeed, no matter how much you memorize a map, you can't cope with sudden factors.
"Since that's the case, it's exactly three o'clock now!" Brock looked at the time upon hearing this, then put away the map and his backpack, suddenly speaking. "What's wrong with three o'clock?"
"Three o'clock is snack time! My favorite is coffee brewed with a siphon coffee maker. You kids can just have tea," Brock said, wildly pulling things out of his backpack. Soon, tables, chairs, coffee makers, and snacks were all readily available, so exaggerated that it made one wipe their sweat. This life was truly exquisite.
"You say that as if you're much older than us, but if we're having snacks, I still prefer apple tea!" "No problem, paired with natural spring water from Mt. Moon. But can you two help me find some firewood?"
Brock agreed readily, making Ash secretly think, Brock is truly versatile, he even has apple tea. "Alright! Misty and I will go look." Indeed, the forest was thick with fog now, so it was better to rest a bit until the fog dispersed.
