The Volcano Badge with flame-like Normal patterns was obtained by Ash.
At this point, his Badge collection progress has successfully reached seven.
There is only one last gym challenge left!
"Great, Blaine really gave you the Badge!!"
After saying goodbye to Blaine, Ash and his group walked down the mountain, Misty still said happily.
"Of course."
Xiao Gang was also all smiles: "After all, Ash's Pikachu really beat Blaine's Magmar with real weapons.
"To be honest, I didn't expect the strength of that duck-billed fire dragon to be so good."
"I can actually hold on to Pikachu's hand for such a long time...
As Xiaogang was talking, he took out a notebook from his backpack.
"I need to remember which Pokémon can last longer when facing Pikachu."
Well, Blaine's duck-billed fire dragon is really powerful.
Even Ash admitted this.
It may be the most difficult batch of levels since we went out on adventures.
The difficulty level is similar to Sabrina's Yongjila.
It fought with Pikachu for quite a while with its indomitable fighting spirit and perseverance.
Of course, in the end, Charmander still fell under Pikachu's lightning.
There is nothing that a lightning strike from Pikachu can't solve.
If so, two shots!
So, after barely holding on for a while, it finally fell down.
Ash won the game and got the Volcano Badge.
"I plan to keep a record of how long these Pokémon can last in battle against Pikachu, and it would be best if I could also make a ranking!!"
"It's like ranking the Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny in each city… Hehehe!!"
While Xiaogang was recording, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and that obscene smile appeared on his face again.
Ash and Misty: "...
...
Well, sometimes I really want to call the police.
Call the police to Officer Jenny and tell them that someone is trying to get you and take this perverted companion away...
"Eehee!"
Of course, the above are all jokes. Xiaogang naturally has his own special surveillance officer watching over him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gengar."
Ash also did not forget this hero who, although hiding in the shadows, was always alert to his surroundings and provided the greatest sense of security for the team.
Of course, except Xiaogang.
He felt that Gengar's joining the team was sent by God specifically to target and Punish him.
He couldn't feel any emotion here in Gengar.
It's all indifference and cruelty!!
My beloved elder sister...
Hearing Gengar's "Ehey," Xiaogang burst into tears, and all his fantasies disappeared.
"But thanks to you, Ash, and Pikachu's performance, we were able to get Blaine's approval and get a coupon for a suite in the luxurious hot spring hotel run by his friend down there!!"
Misty couldn't help but smile there.
Blaine was really generous and gave them such a present as a gift.
Well, it was mainly because of the fight between Ash and him that caused Volcano to become a little restless, making it temporarily impossible for Shinbo's hotel to open.
Therefore, in order to compensate Ash and the others, Blaine specially arranged for him to stay in a luxurious hotel owned by his friend at the foot of the mountain, so that they could have a good time.
When you come to Cinnabar Island, how can you not experience the hot springs here?!
So, when Officer Jenny began to blockade Volcano, the Rockets trio were struggling to find other ways to do business.
Ash and his group also stayed comfortably in the luxurious hotel below.
Soak in the open-air hot springs and eat the special delicacies there.
It just so happened that I was also in the challenge hotel, and after so many adventures, I relaxed a lot.
Even for many Pokémon, in addition to training and practice, proper relaxation is also necessary.
Ash also gave them all a good holiday.
So, after spending a very comfortable rest time.
When the day of departure came, they prepared to leave the hotel and go to the pier to take a boat to leave the island.
But when they were about to leave...
"Kami~Kawei!!"
Wartortle, who was also out relaxing, hurried to Ash, gesticulating and gesticulating.
Moreover, behind it, there was another Wartortle that looked equally panicked, fearful, and distant.
It's obvious that this one is wild and ownerless.
"It looks like something happened."
Ash squatted down and looked at the two Pokémon: "If you have anything to say, you can talk slowly."
"If anyone needs help, I can certainly help."
Based on Wartortle's simple gestures, Ash and his friends had a general understanding of what had happened.
This wild Wartortle that came to seek help came from an unknown island near Cinnabar Island.
It was a strange island that was not recorded on the map.
And on that island, there were no other creatures living there, only Pokémon like Squirtle and Wartortle.
It's like a magical paradise where only Bulbasaur gather.
That island is the island of Blastoise where the Squirtle and Wartortle gather.
Well, the main leader on that island is Squirtle's final evolution, Blastoise.
But no one knows what happened today. Blastoise and many Wartortles and Squirtles on the island fell into a coma and couldn't wake up.
Fortunately, this Wartortle escaped and ran to the nearest island to seek help.
Then I happened to meet Ash and his group.
"It seems that this island is a small island centered on Blastoise, the King of Tortoises...
Ash and his friends were sitting on a small boat that was being pulled by water-type Pokémon such as Staryu and Starmie.
Ahead, the wild Wartortle is there leading the way.
Soon, everyone saw an island that looked like a turtle in front of the sea level.
"In Wartortle's words, a few days ago, Blastoise went swimming in the ocean and didn't come back for a long time."
"Later, the sea water washed Blastoise onto the beach, and then everyone discovered it and dragged it ashore."
"As a result, one after another, they all fell into a coma..."
It is easy to understand what happened and what went on.
The difficulty of this matter lies in...
"Why did this happen, and...?"
After Ash and others successfully landed on the island, they saw turtle shells scattered on the beach.
And in the center, there is a huge Blastoise shell on a small stone platform.
"How do I wake them up?"
"Ding, Blastoise, a Pokémon with a shell. It is the evolution of Wartortle. Although its huge body does not have the advantage of speed, it has amazing strength. Its hard shell has a very high defense.
The Hydro Pump on its back has extremely powerful attack power.
Rotom Pokédex real-time scan.
"The cause of all this lethargy..."
If Ash remembered correctly, this group of Blastoise and Wartortle fell into a coma.
Having the ability to make Pokémon fall asleep~~~
"That's the Jigglypuff."
After Jigglypuff was able to sing, he also began to travel around.
This time, when I was crossing the sea, I happened to meet Blastoise swimming in the sea.
He also stuck his body between the two cannons on Blastoise's shoulders and fell into a coma.
Then Jigglypuff was still singing unconsciously while he was sleeping.
Just like that, Blastoise fell into a deep sleep.
The Squirtle and Wartortle who had salvaged Blastoise also heard the singing and fell asleep along with it.
This is why there is such a strange scene on the island.
"The reason is easy to figure out, so now we just need to wake them up..."
Ash turned around and took out the [Pokémon Flute] from his backpack.
This is the best way to wake up Pokémon.
"YOU..."
Waves of clear flute sounds were played by Ash.
Then~
"*AND..."
"Kami~"
Then the Squirtles and Wartortles that were curled up in their shells revealed their heads and bodies one after another.
Each of them was beating Yawn, looking like they had just woken up.
"Kami~!"
The wild Wartortle who was leading the way couldn't help cheering happily when he saw his companions all Smelling Salts coming over.
Then, they looked expectantly at their king, Blastoise, who was in the center.
The sound of the flute did not disappoint its expectations. It heard a deep, low hum from inside the tortoise shell:
"..."
Blastoise's head just drooped and popped out.
"...
"
It opened its mouth, yawned loudly, and touched its eyes with its outstretched hand.
He looked sleepy and hadn't woken up yet.
And when two gun-like barrels appeared on its shoulders.
The muzzle of the gun on the right shoulder was obviously blocked by a round pink body.
"That body, could it be..."
"I seem to have a bad feeling..."
Misty and Xiaogang recognized it at first sight and took a step back in unison.
They seemed to vaguely hear the familiar voice they had heard before.
No, not vaguely, but it seems like it is really singing.
"..."
Blastoise's body began to shake again, and Wartortle and Squirtle beside him also started beating Yawn again.
At this time, the simple [Pokémon Flute] can be put away first.
You need an energy source that can refresh and re-energize you!
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"
"Pika~~~Qiu!!"
Suddenly, golden electric currents flashed through the bodies of every turtle.
The entire island of Blastoise was once again in chaos.
Especially the largest Blastoise received special attention.
"Bu Li?!"
The electric current passed through the muzzle, and Jigglypuff's body was shaking.
Blastoise has high defense and high stamina, and its small shell cannot withstand the high pressure of Thunder Shock.
In a few seconds, it fell out from the muzzle in a round shape.
Then he fell to the ground, shaking his body and with circles in his eyes.
"It really is this~"
"Has this Jigglypuff from Neon Town come here?"
As soon as Jigglypuff fell out, Xiaogang and Misty
I instantly understood the whole cause and process of the incident.
Well, the culprit has been found.
The follow-up issues can be easily resolved.
"..."
The Blastoise boss on the island also came over with Smelling Salts.
After the wild Wartortle who led the way gestured and explained, I understood the situation.
He immediately walked up to Ash and the others and thanked them.
Then, it thought about it and hesitated slightly.
Finally, he looked at Wartortle beside Ash, gritted his teeth, and took out something from his shell.
"On..."
It whispered and passed the thing over.
Is this a thank you gift to us?"
Ash looked at the very familiar stone with the central genetic spiral pattern.
His eyes gradually brightened:
"Then I will accept it without hesitation!!"
This is another Mega Evolution Stone!
Moreover, it just happens to correspond to the Wartortle in Ash's hand, no, it should be said that it is the evolved Blastoise!!
The thank you gift that Blastoise handed out was a Mega Evolution Stone, which naturally corresponded to the one that belonged to it.
It's just that I can generously give away my own evolution stones…
"Although it's a thank you gift, it's a bit too generous.
Ash looked at the Blastoise in front of him with interest, who had a flattering look on his face.
"It seems that they are afraid that I will leak the news here to the outside world."
"And, they are afraid that I will subdue them all to someone, so they give me bribes and flattery... "
Ash also checked the information of this Blastoise as soon as possible.
His strength is good, but his qualifications are mediocre and only at the gym level.
Moreover, it doesn't even have an entry, so it must have evolved into Blastoise by sheer luck.
After all, there are no natural enemies of turtles here, so they can live safely here.
Boil can also evolve into Blastoise through long-term boiling.
This can be seen from the fact that Blastoise was unaware of Jigglypuff's entry into the muzzle.
It doesn't look like a Pokémon with keen perception that has evolved after many battles in the wild.
However, this adventure was worth it as I got Blastoise's Mega Evolution Stone.
After saying goodbye to the turtle Pokémon including Blastoise, Wartortle, Squirtle, etc.
Ash also took a small boat back to the dock.
Then we took a boat and left Cinnabar Island.
"Ash, you've already got seven badges, and there's only one left."
Facing the sea breeze and admiring the sea view, Misty did not forget to ask:
"For the last Badge, which gym are you going to go to?"
"Tokiwa Gym, right?"
Ash leaned against the mast, looking out at the sea 5.6 cubic meters in the distance, and spoke out the decision he had made long ago.
"Tokiwa Gym? Oh yes, Ash, the first one you challenged was the Nibi Gym at Gon's place..."
Misty then remembered that there was a gym near the place where they met.
"And the Tokiwa Gym seems to be near your home, Ash..."
After completing the challenge, I can go home and have a look.
QX...
Misty couldn't help but look at Ash again.
It seems that following Ash back to Pallet Town to take a look, it seems to be quite nice...
"But before that, Sister Sakura and the others seem to have organized a new water ballet show, so they asked me to go back..."
Misty thought about it in her mind.
On the one hand, I have been laughed at since I was a child as the ugly duckling among four sisters, and even the baby was left only for me.
On the one hand, Ash, who has been following me on adventures, can also go home with him...
Even a fool knows how to choose!
So, Misty rejected the request of the three Sakura sisters at the Cerulean Gym without hesitation.
Even though the eldest sister called again and said that their gym had not performed any new tricks in the previous water ballet.
As a result, more and more customers began to leave and seldom patronized their performances, causing their popularity to decline further.
In this regard, Misty can only say:
What does your low popularity have to do with me?!
Sister Sakura cried and acted pitifully, and said that she had designed a new mermaid performance specifically for Misty.
Let Misty be the heroine, and the other three will be her supporting roles.
Misty was quite moved when she heard this, but when she thought about the personalities of her three sisters since childhood...
I always feel like they have bad intentions!!
For this reason, Misty thought about it again and again, but still declined without hesitation.
The three Sakura sisters were helpless when they saw Misty's firm attitude.
Since they couldn't call Misty, they could only settle for the next best thing.
