"Let's see whose Pokémon's Water Gun special move can hit the target most accurately!!"
Facing the Indigo Alliance's Conference Champion, Ash, who has a legendary record of defeating six opponents at once.
Cissy was very prepared and put all her energy into dealing with the situation.
"The style of our gym is to treat Pokémon's special moves as sports for competition."
"My Seadra's special move is really powerful!!"
Cissy smiled confidently, full of energy.
Doduo beep.
At this time, the hedgehog-headed little brother next to him also responded appropriately by blowing out bubbles that floated in the air.
"Seadra, use the Water Gun trick!!"
Whoosh!!
At the command, Spit Up fired water arrows from Seadra's long muzzle.
Clap, clap, clap.
It was easy and precise to penetrate those bubbles one by one.
"Is this a Water Gun trick?"
Ash watched the whole process and nodded slightly: "I roughly understand the process."
"But~~~"
He raised his head, looked at Cissy and said, "My Pokémon prefers to use Hydro Pump. Can I use this trick?"
"sure."
Cissy said, "But you have to think clearly, if it's a Hydro Pump attack, then the hit rate will be even worse."
"What we want to compete is accuracy, not the power of the moves."
The Water Gun's attack hit rate is basically 100%, while the Hydro Pump's hit rate is only 8E.
"Let your Pokémon compete with my Pokémon to Smack Down the empty cans."
Cissy pointed to the row of empty cans.
"Okay~"
Ash nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you, Blastoise!"
He directly sent out the final form of Blastoise that had just evolved.
Bang!!
Blastoise, whose huge body almost took up half of the water venue, entered.
When it fell, there was a splash, creating a splash that could be called the Undella wave.
"Kabei~!"
A deep, heavy, and powerful voice came out of Blastoise's mouth.
"Blastoise?!"
Cissy's eyes froze, "Is it this big?!"
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
In her own hand, she also had a Blastoise from Breeder.
But no matter in terms of body shape, momentum and other aspects.
I always feel that it is quite different from the Blastoise that Ash took out.
"No wonder he was able to win the Pokémon Alliance Conference. He is indeed a Trainer who set a legendary record of six undefeated games on the Indigo Plateau..."
Cissy sighed with emotion, and admired him even more in her heart.
"That's great, let me see how powerful your Blastoise is!!"
"Let's see who has more empty cans in Smack Down!!"
Both sides are in position, ready to go.
"Swish, swish, swish!!"
The water pipe in Seadra's mouth sprayed out water bullets one after another, hitting the cans easily and accurately, smashing them down.
As for Blastoise~~~
"Cut it!!"
Ash didn't need to say anything as the two gun barrels on its shoulders automatically calibrated.
Then~
Boom boom boom!!
One after another, powerful Hydro Pump grenades were fired directly at the tin cans.
Moreover, it hit the center of those empty cans very accurately, causing them to explode directly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!!
Both sides were working hard to spray out their own water-based skills.
But in the end~
Bang!!
After Blastoise easily blew up the last can.
The Seadra's water missile was just about to fly over, but missed.
"The speed and angle of the attack are simply impeccable."
Cissy was surprised. "Even the control of strength is so meticulous and perfect."
If it was her Blastoise, it would be impossible to achieve such a delicate step.
Ash's Blastoise is to condense his Hydro Pump attack into a ball, comparable to a launched grenade.
Logically speaking, such shells should be more difficult to hit the target.
But Ash's Blastoise was able to shoot out easily, one after another.
And they are all located right in the center of the empty can.
Even the firing speed was quite fast, and they were fired very quickly without missing a target.
And look at this Blastoise, it is so comfortable and relaxed.
It even did a slight Yawn there, as if this was no difficulty at all for it.
There is no way to make it serious at all, I feel bored and sleepy.
"Is it so amazing~"? "
While being surprised, Cissy actually felt that it was natural and not that surprising.
"After all, it's Trainer Ash's Pokémon. If it wasn't this strong, it would be unreasonable, right?"
She smiled with interest.
I have to admit that this Blastoise successfully aroused her interest and her competitive spirit.
"My Seadra won't give up so easily!!"
She turned her head and looked at her stupid and foolish brother:
"Next is to attack a moving target, Ada!!"
Hedgehog-headed Ada silently pressed the button again, like a tool without any emotions who could only operate.
Bilibili~
In an instant, the huge wall on the right side of the battlefield expanded directly from the middle.
Towards Ash and the others, the beach outside and the scene of the sea and sky merging into one were revealed.
Before Ash and the others could begin to appreciate it.
Snort sniff~!!
Several red flying discs were launched from the left and right sides.
call out!
Seadra directly spits out stray bullets from her Water Gun [wanting to demonstrate.
But~~~
Bang!!
Hydro Pump grenades came one after another.
Before Seadra's attack came, all the red flying discs were smashed to pieces.
"?!!"
Seadra suddenly turned her head and looked over, staring at Blastoise there with dangerous eyes.
"ON..."
However, Blastoise just stretched out his little paw and rubbed his nose, pretending nothing had happened.
Well, don't forget that this Blastoise once led a group of Squirtle brothers to do a lot of pranks.
Although it no longer has an entry like [Mischievous Heart].
However, those childhood traits were retained and even magnified.
When Seadra saw Blastoise's expression, several red tic-tac-toes popped up on her forehead.
Whoosh!
Hedgehog-headed Ada pressed the button again, and another plate shot out.
Seadra watched closely, concentrating fully, ready to Smack Down at the first opportunity.
And at the moment the plate was shot out, Seadra immediately took action and sprayed out water bullets.
But it's a pity~~~
It tends to always be a step behind on this.
Bang!!
Blastoise's Hydro Pump grenade always hits the target accurately before it.
And it's not a fraction more, just one second ahead of it, so people can easily capture it.
Just like that, Hedgehog-headed Ada shot out several red flying discs in succession, but Blastoise still got there first.
"Let's stop here for this game."
Cissy, who saw it clearly, immediately stopped the competition.
"The winner has been decided."
Seadra:"
It simply turned its head to the side, hiding the lost expression on its face from others.
In fact, even as proud as it is, it knows that it has undoubtedly lost in this game.
After all, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't snatch a frisbee from Blastoise's shells.
What's more, especially when I take it so seriously, the other party ends up not caring at all.
It even seemed as if he didn't even have to use his full strength, but he easily suppressed himself.
In terms of offensive speed, it is completely defeated.
Moreover, the defeat was disastrous, and the gap was overwhelming.
"Thank you for your hard work, Seadra...
After briefly comforting Seadra, Cissy put her back into the Poké Ball.
Then~
"I lost."
She walked up to Ash and openly admitted her failure.
"Congratulations, you have succeeded in the challenge."
"Is this the end?"
Ash asked instead: "Shouldn't the challenge here have two rounds?"
He looked at the floating buoy in the center of the sea outside.
"It seems that you are fully prepared and understand the challenge I am facing."
Cissy smiled and said, "There's no need for a second round."
"Because I know that you are undoubtedly qualified."
Well, mainly because Cissy herself knew that once the second round of competition began, she would probably lose miserably like Seadra.
The second round of the Natsukan Gym competition was a surf competition on the beach behind the gym.
The Trainer needs to surf with the Pokémon to the buoy and then go back around.
There are waves around, and using the waves can make Pokémon go faster.
The first person to come back wins this round.
The one competing in this round is the Blastoise in Cissy's hand.
That is also Cissy's Trump Card Pokémon, with overwhelming power.
In the original storyline, even when attacked by Team Rocket, this Blastoise easily broke free from Team Rocket's capture and used Hydro Pump to knock them away.
But~~~
When compared to Ash's Blastoise, it seems a little underwhelming.
Whether in terms of size or strength, he is obviously inferior to Ash.
As for speed...
The failure of Seadra is a very typical example.
It can be said that my Blastoise is inferior to Ash's in all aspects~~~
Then simply don't bring it out, it will only bring shame upon yourself~
"I have verified your ability. You are definitely capable of challenging for the Orange Alliance Winners Cup."
Cissy also did not forget to speak some official language and praise the Alliance in their own region.
"I feel that if I don't approve of it anymore, I won't be worthy of being a trainer at this gym."
She smiled, and then took out a brightly colored badge from the collar of her shirt.
"This is proof of your victory over me. The Natsukan Gym Coral-Eye Badge is yours."
A pink Sakura shell with the official certification of the Orange Alliance printed on it in blue.
"This is Sakura Shell, Orange Alliance's gym badge, all shells."
After Ash took it, he looked at the very beautiful Badge with regional characteristics and couldn't help but smile.
This kind of Badge craftsmanship art is very valuable even if it is made into a collectible.
"Coral-Eye Badge, I got it!!"
The first badge of the Orange Alliance Winners Cup was also obtained here!
Moreover, it was obtained in such an easy way!!
"Now, things are going to get lively here at Orange Alliance."
After waving goodbye to Ash and the others, I stood at the door of the gym and watched them walk away.
An interesting smile also appeared on Cissy's face.
"The champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference from Kanto Region, Trainer Ash, who has always been able to defeat three or six opponents at once..."
"It seems that this is going to cause quite a stir in the Orange Islands."
"The other gyms will definitely become more lively as well."
"With such powerful Pokémon, he will definitely be able to succeed in the challenge."
"By then, we will surely be able to successfully advance to the challenge of the Victors Cup."
"I am really looking forward to that day coming."
"I just don't know if he will continue to practice his Lucas record of wearing three or six like he did in Kanto Region.
"Will it be that smooth again~~~"
"Isn't this going too smoothly?!"
On the sea, I continued to ride Lapras towards my next destination, Misty, which still felt a little unreal.
"You got the Badge right away?!!"
They had traveled with Ash before in the Kanto Region.
Every time I go to a new city to challenge a gym, there are always things like this.
And along the way, you will encounter many changes and twists and turns.
And like this time, from coming to Mikan Island where the gym is located, to challenging the gym and getting the Coral-Eye Badge.
The time spent in between was less than half a day.
Therefore, Ash, Misty and the others simply had a quick meal and rested at the Pokémon Center.
So in the afternoon, we set off again.
It was so smooth and uneventful that Misty actually felt a little uncomfortable.
"Shouldn't this be a daily routine?"
On the contrary, Tracey, who was writing and drawing there, thought that this was nothing, and even normal:
"On the way to challenge the gym, then challenge the gym, and after success, go to the next destination."
"Isn't this the pattern for all Trainers who go out to challenge others?"
Misty: "Um…
How can I explain this to you?
After all, we encountered many things during our journey.
"But then again, where is our next destination?"
Ash asked leisurely while sitting there enjoying the sea breeze.
"Well, if we are heading in the right direction..."
Tracey flipped through the book and said, "The next destination should be Mandarin Island~"
Mandarin Island, also known as Little Orange Island, is located in the northwest region of the Orange Islands.
This is the most commercially developed island in the Orange Islands, with a large number of high-rise buildings.
"Rather than calling it an island, it's more like a building floating on the sea."
As Lapras approached the destination, everyone saw the tall buildings that first appeared on the other side of the sea level.
"That's right, actually. Mandarin Island is the most famous commercial island in the entire Orange Islands."
"..."
Misty was a little disappointed: "But if this happens, it will lose some of the atmosphere of the South."
"It's not all about local customs and practices~"
Ash is quite open-minded, "A modern metropolis like this is still very important for a region.
"After all, no matter how famous or comfortable the natural environment is, it cannot replace human society."
"People, aren't they more inclined to integrate into the city?"
This is an inevitable trend of human living in groups.
But~
"The city is nice, but... "
Ash rubbed his chin slightly.
As Lapras got closer, they could see more and more tall and densely packed commercial buildings.
Ash also became increasingly aware that something was wrong.
"Why do I feel more and more that someone is secretly watching us?"
At the same time, in a remote location on the island.
Inside the dark room, there are black and bluish electronic screens.
On one of the huge number of electronic screens, the images of Ash and his companions began to appear.
"It's those little devils again?!"
"How did they get here?!!".
