As a Pokémon observer, Tracey is not very interested in other aspects.
However, as one of the top entertainment events in the world, no matter how little Tracey paid attention to it.
Naturally, there will be corresponding media push so that he can see and understand something.
Among them, Ash from Pallet Town performed exceptionally well at this Indigo Plateau Conference.
He had also heard such news and information.
"I've seen your introduction on TV and in newspapers before, no wonder you looked familiar to me...
Tracey was very interested, and then said excitedly,
"I didn't expect to see you here today!!"
It is indeed a rare thing to meet a champion of the Pokémon Alliance Conference here.
However, what this world lacks the most is famous Trainers.
Although Tracey is quite interested in Ash, it is not to the point of motivation.
What he really wanted to know was...
"You're from Pallet Town, so you must know Professor Oak from Pallet Town?!"
He asked with a look of longing.
"Of course."
Misty added: "Ash is the Earl Dervish Pokémon that he received from Professor Oak.
"Besides, we just finished a phone call with Professor Oak."
"We even came to the Orange Islands to help Professor Oak."
"Our relationship is very good!"
"Amazing!"
Tracey was listening carefully there, and after hearing it, she couldn't help but cheer:
"You guys really do know the famous Professor Oak!!"
"I said, an excellent Trainer must be supported by an excellent Pokémon Professor!!"
He was spinning around there in agitation.
Misty didn't understand: "Do you have to be so touched?"
"Of course!!"
Tracey said loudly: "For us Pokémon observers, Professor Oak is our most admired person!!"
"He is quite an amazing person!!"
After saying that, Tracey immediately straightened his head and chest, full of fighting spirit, and nodded heavily to make a decision:
"Okay!! It's decided! I will follow you till the end!!"
Misty02: "???"
No buddy, I just had some alone time with Ash.
I was thinking about whether I should go to the Pokémon theme park and have a good look around!
And you just showed up halfway?!!
"I'm going to ask to see Professor Oak!!"
Not noticing Misty's face that was about to collapse, Tracey said expectantly:
"I want him to see all the information I have collected in the past!!"
"Wait a minute!!"
Misty couldn't hold it in any longer: "Can you please not make the decision on your own?!"
Tracey is completely immersed in her own world:
"I wonder what kind of person Professor Oak is. I'm looking forward to it!!"
Misty:"..."
Why do I feel like this guy has the same special personality as Xiaogang in some aspects?!
Just like that, no matter how much Misty disliked her, Tracey still followed her shamelessly.
Moreover, he also suggested that after Lapras recovered from its injuries, it should be sent back to the sea to find its own tribe.
But~~~
"It's still a child."
Ash gave a classic statement, "At its age, it is difficult for it to survive in the sea.
"It got separated from its companions before. What if it returns to the group and gets separated again?"
"We helped it solve its problem this time, but what should we do if we encounter those three hooligans again next time?"
"↑..."
Tracey had never thought about this and was a little hesitant.
Finally, he looked at Ash: "Then Ash, what do you say we should do?"
"The best solution is to let it follow us first."
Ash smiled and said, "When it grows up and can stand on its own, it won't be too late to return to the tribe."
"Or, even if you encounter your own tribe first, you can try to get their tribe to go with it to a suitable wildlife reserve base or Breeder base.
"In there, they can survive better."
This is not just empty talk. Currently, some regions in the Alliance have already started doing relevant work for Lapras in this regard.
Lapras is a gentle Pokémon with a very cute appearance and is loved by many people.
And because it rarely takes part in fights, it is captured in large numbers, causing its numbers to drop sharply and become endangered.
But I heard that the emphasis on protection has led to it becoming a bit rampant.
It is said that in some sea areas where there are too many Lapras, the number of fish Pokémon has begun to decrease.
Some Alliance Regions near the sea have already begun to make plans to change this situation.
For example, in the Sinnoh Region, the Pokémon Ocean Laboratory, located between Blackthorn City and New Bark Town, has begun studying the Lapras group.
Later, the director and member of the institute, Ms. Cheng Mei, conducted an in-depth study on Lapras's travel songs.
The related papers were also successfully published and received a lot of attention.
In addition, in the Alola Region, Lapras is also an important means of water transportation and has begun to expand the scale of this industry.
The Lapras that Ash captured was obviously not suitable for fighting, both in terms of age and personality.
Moreover, some of the effects of the entries are also somewhat restricted.
But no matter what, I can't release them, not in this lifetime.
Therefore, Ash planned to wipe out the entire Lapras tribe.
By then, through the relationship with Professor Oak, we can get the Lapras of this group in advance.
They will either be arranged to the Pokémon Ocean Laboratory in the Sinnoh Region, or sent to the Alola Region for training.
At that time, you can go to those two regions conveniently and make preparations in advance.
Even if those two places are not accessible, a Lapras protection zone can be set up somewhere in the Kanto Region.
The Squirtle Island that Ash discovered before near Cinnabar Island also had a pretty good environment.
And the Squirtle and Wartortle above, as well as the eldest brother Blastoise, are all very easy to talk to.
They can communicate and promote together, and they can also help each other.
It can be said that there are many places where Lapras can be arranged.
"When the time comes, I will definitely make the best arrangements for you so that you won't have to go through the same experiences as before."
At the pool in the Pokémon Center, Ash stood on the shore, gently stroking Lapras's smooth, wet body.
"FK..."
The latter also lowered his head, humming softly, and rubbed Ash's palm in a slightly intimate manner.
"Lapras is a Pokémon that has a kind heart that can understand human language. I'm sure it also feels Ash's kindness."
Tracey was painting furiously, trying to paint the scene in front of him.
This picture between humans and Pokémon is so harmonious!
"It seems that Ash has captured his first Pokémon since arriving in the Orange Islands!!"
Misty also smiled happily, happy that Ash was able to gain something.
Judging from Lapras's appearance and contest condition at this moment, it is obvious that it has been completely conquered by Ash.
At this point, Lapras has become one of their companions and will travel around the entire Orange Islands with them.
On the blue sea, Ash and his crew had already boarded the Lapras, left Pengxiang Island and began their voyage.
"It has to be Lapras!!"
Sitting on the uneven raised shell, Tracey, who had come to join the team, couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so comfortable to sit on. No wonder so many Trainers who live on the sea want to capture a Lapras!!"
Being able to be classified as a Pokémon that can carry people, Lapras's ability to carry people and its experience are naturally self-evident.
"Indeed, it's much better than Blastoise."
Misty nodded in agreement there as well.
During the time on the sea, Ash also took out the newly evolved Blastoise.
Blastoise's shell is also wide enough, so it can easily carry people.
RTU...
The shell is bigger, but it doesn't have the bumps and bumps like the one used by Lapras.
There are no suitable seats for riding, and in terms of experience and comfort, it is indeed not as good as Lapras.
"Our next stop seems to be..."
Ash sat in the best seat, flipping through the magazines related to Orange Alliance in his hand.
"It's Mikan Island."
Mikan Island is located west of the Orange Islands and north of Shadow Island.
This is the first gym of the Orange Alliance, the location of Natsukan Gym with the Coral-Eye Badge.
It is not too far from Tangelo Island.
Therefore, Ash and his group only had to travel on the sea for a while before they saw an island appearing not far away.
Most of it is covered with forests, and towns are scattered around the edges of the island.
"The gym trainer on Mikan Island is called the Western Star of the Orange Alliance's Southern Thousand Stars.
Tracey introduced the information about the gyms on this island.
After arriving at Mikan Island, the group headed straight to Natsukan Gym.
Natsukan Gym is also easy to spot, even though it is far away from the town on the island.
However, this was converted from a beachfront warehouse with an orange roof.
People walking on the road can see the location of the museum from a distance.
But~~~
"Aren't the traps along the way a little too obvious?"
Ash looked at a seemingly ordinary coconut lying on the side of the road.
He immediately shook his head and walked past.
There is a rope tied to this coconut, connecting it to the coconut tree above and the bucket on the coconut tree.
As soon as you pick it up, the bucket above will be opened and the underwater will be poured out.
Not to mention, there was a little kid with a spiky hair and dark skin hiding nearby.
"Pikachu, there's someone hiding in the bushes next to us. He might be trying to harm us. Give him a Thunder Shock to wake him up.
"Pika~~~Qiu!!"
It's not [Thunderbolt], it's just a simple Thunder Shock, shooting out from Pikachu's body.
But even so, the dark-skinned hedgehog-haired boy still felt very uncomfortable.
"Dian dian dian dian...I'm going to be electrocuted to death!!"
His whole body was crackling with electricity and he rolled out from the grass.
Lying in front of Ash and the others, twitching on the ground.
"Who is this kid?"
Tracey and Misty looked at the little kid who was electrocuted while hiding with a puzzled look on their faces.
"Hey, Ada, why are you here?!"
At this time, a shout was heard from the gym's warehouse in the distance.
"You don't clean when you should, what are you doing?!!"
A cool woman wearing a black tank top and orange summer trousers came from behind.
"Ada, you're…what's wrong with you?!!"
When she got closer, she also found the little boy lying on the ground and twitching, and she was stunned for a moment.
Then he hurried forward and quickly checked on his condition.
"..."
The hedgehog-haired boy called Ada just uttered a stuttering cry.
Fortunately, Pikachu didn't use too much force, and he managed to recover.
"Did I get hit by Electric Type's ultimate move?..."
After a quick check, he found that there was nothing serious wrong with his brother.
Stephanie finally breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and looked at Ash and the Pikachu on him.
Well, the Electric Type skill should be released by this Pikachu.
"....."
Ada said intermittently: "These guys are probably here to challenge us..."
"I'm a Pokémon Trainer, and I'm here to challenge Natsukan Gym."
Ash also stood up at the right time and introduced himself.
"Pokémon Trainer..."
Stephanie looked Ash up and down, then raised her eyebrows:
"I always feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
"May I have your name?"
She asked directly.
"Ash, I'm Ash from Pallet Town."
"Little 363 Zhi? Pallet Town?!"
Stephanie was startled for a moment, then reacted immediately.
"The champion of this year's Pokémon Alliance, Indigo Plateau Conference, the one who defeated six opponents in a row?!"
She blurted out directly, and then looked at Ash closely.
"Yes, he was wearing an Alliance commemorative hat and there was a Pikachu following him..."
Stephanie nodded repeatedly: "No wonder, I was wondering where I've seen you before...
"Indigo Plateau Conference, I watched it too!!"
She suddenly became excited, "I didn't expect that the champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference would come to challenge our Orange Alliance next?!"
Stephanie seemed very happy and felt proud of it.
Even the Alliance Conference Champion of Kanto Region came to challenge us.
This is enough to show that the Orange Alliance's winner's cup has been hung in the hearts of these excellent trainers!
That spiky-haired brat named Ada, now Hideki doesn't even dare to breathe.
Indigo Plateau Conference champion, this is a very prestigious title.
At least, he is a foolish guy who wants to make a trap to measure the challenge of the gym. He can't touch porcelain~~~
"Very good, since it is Ash who is challenging me..."
Stephanie was very enthusiastic, "No problem! I, the Western Star of the Southern Cross, accept your challenge!!"
The Western Star of the Southern Cross?
So, in that case, she is...
"Mikan Island Gym Leader, Cissy, please give me your guidance!!"
Inside Natsukan Gym, on the platform of the fighting field.
Cool Stephanie, also known as Cissy, the gym leader, took out a Pokémon ball and introduced herself.
"Before you came, you should have known that Orange Alliance's challenge is not limited to simple Pokémon duels, right?"
"Of course~"
Ash nodded. "Each gym has its own unique challenges that are different from normal battles~"
He smiled and said, "I just happened to be here. He wants to see me."
"That'll do!"
Cissy clapped her hands there.
Behind him, Ada, the hedgehog-headed kid holding the remote control, stepped forward silently and pressed a few gym buttons.
Beep!
Then, the wall on the left side of the crowd slowly descended, revealing the...
"Empty jar?!"
All I saw were empty cans laid out neatly there.
Then, the battle field in the middle was opened directly.
The blue water area below is revealed.
"It's time to go on stage, where's the Sea Thorn!!"
Cissy was very enthusiastic and took out his Pokémon.
Bang!!
In the blue and white world, Seadra, with sharp eyes and a rising star, appeared in the water venue.
This was a frequent customer that Ash encountered.
After all, the second Pokémon of Rival in the first round of the Indigo Plateau Conference was Seadra.
"Alright, this round of competition will be decided by the Water Gun trick!!"
Cissy introduced confidently.
