Chapter 119: The Female Gengars in the City Really Know How to Have Fun
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"Jynx is Unable to Battle! Charmeleon wins!"
After a series of combination moves, the Jynx in the small pit of ruins had been beaten to the point of being completely unable to battle. Its eyes spun as it lay helplessly amidst the rubble, letting out a Wail of Pain.
"Roo..."
On the other side, the Charmeleon who had just executed Seismic Toss was the complete opposite. Its Qi and Blood surged throughout its body in a state of sheer comfort. Accompanied by the surrounding Cheers, it tilted its head to the Sky and spat out streams of Flame, the scorching High Temperature heating up the atmosphere.
"Roar, roar!!"
It beat its chest with its two clawed fists, its aggressive gaze sweeping over the surroundings, clearly looking like it hadn't had enough of a fight.
"Wow, this Charmeleon is so ferocious."
"Can it control its body so skillfully right after evolving?"
"I've decided. I'm going to choose Charmander for my Starter Pokémon Trio in the future."
"Bro, I suggest you pick Rattata for your first. That one's the strongest."
The crowds of spectators on the four surrounding buildings all applauded and cheered, praising the three spectacular Gym challenge matches.
"This Trainer named Ash has got some serious skills."
"Miss Sabrina is so amazing too."
"I heard the people are even more incredible. To be honest, I'd still rather watch the Trainers fight it out themselves."
"Our Saffron City is finally back to how it used to be."
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Sabrina's family and the Silph Co. President all revealed satisfied smiles. This was the greatest significance of them battling here today.
Next, they just had to find a few popular, clickbait-savvy influencers to stir up some publicity, drive the tourism and service industries, and Saffron City would soon be able to restore its former prosperity. The declining GDP from the past few years could also steadily increase.
And all of this was thanks to the Youth before them.
A hint of a smile appeared in everyone's eyes as they looked at Ash.
But Ash wasn't thinking about all that. He didn't even pay attention to the surrounding Cheers, his eyes fixed intently on his own Pokémon.
Seeing his Charmeleon defeat its opponent in such a simple and brutal fashion made him leap with joy, even though it had completely ignored his commands for those last few new moves.
That "Seismic Toss" move, in particular, was so cool!
"You did great, Charmeleon!"
Ash hopped closer, planning to give it a big hug.
Seeing this, however, Charmeleon's gaze turned stern. It hadn't had its fill of fighting and was looking for someone else to beat up.
It naturally wouldn't provoke the Sabrina standing in front of it; the dangerous Aura she emitted was far too intense. At its current level, it would probably be a free kill for her.
But there was no need for such reservations with its own reckless Trainer. Besides, the fact that Ash had bent over to dodge its Flamethrower to the face earlier had left Charmeleon feeling a bit miffed.
"Roar!"
A cunning smile crept onto Charmeleon's lips. It then clenched its right claw into a piercing shape, which became coated in a layer of dangerous Black Energy.
Throat Chop!
The more sinister the expression, the greater the Power of the Dark-type Move!
It thrust its claw straight toward Ash's kidney!
Ash: "?"
Was this Charmeleon's new way of greeting him after its Evolution?
How very enthusiastic.
He subconsciously raised his right Qilin Arm, palm held vertically in front of him. He let the Throat Chop pass through the gap between his middle and ring fingers, then abruptly closed his fingers, gripping Charmeleon's hand.
*Crack.*
The seemingly powerful Throat Chop was stopped dead in front of Ash. Charmeleon's claw was frozen in place, unable to advance or retreat, stuck in an awkward standstill.
Charmeleon: "?"
Its little head was filled with question marks.
"What's wrong, Charmeleon? You still want to act cute with me even after evolving? You're such a child who won't grow up."
He smiled, applying a little force to his arm.
Having its wrist bent back, Charmeleon reflexively dropped to one knee to relieve the pressure on its hand. At that moment, Ash suddenly raised his other arm and wrapped it around its neck in a hug.
"Roar—"
Intense pressure assaulted it, and Charmeleon's breath hitched. Its entire throat felt as if it were clamped by Steel Muscles and Iron Bones, so tight that its eyeballs nearly popped out.
"Really, now. Don't be shy."
Ash tightened his grip and spun it around in place a few times.
After a few spins, Charmeleon successfully lost its ability to battle due to oxygen deprivation. It could only let out a weak cry, all of its previous arrogance and aggression gone.
"Char..."
Seeing this, Ash chuckled inwardly and released his hold on Charmeleon, recalling it to its Poké Ball.
He had, of course, noticed that there was a major problem with this Charmeleon's attitude.
He then turned his head to look at the Bulbasaur in the back, which had been revitalized after being fertilized by Wartortle.
A Bulbasaur that refuses to evolve...
A food-chain lover from a Different Egg Group...
A Metapod that could snap and evolve at any moment, losing its chance to become a Sky Giant Dragon...
An Eevee that detests Humans...
Oh, and a Gengar that had run off to the city to hunt for beauties.
Come to think of it, was his Pikachu actually the most normal one?!
Ash sighed. He decided he had to properly straighten out his Team one day. Now was the best time for a revolutionary struggle; everyone should have the same goal and advance together!
There was great Future Potential.
Just as he thought of his city-slicking, beauty-hunting Gengar, a chill suddenly ran down his spine, as if something unpleasant had passed right through him.
He focused his eyes and saw a chubby, purplish-black Gengar.
At the moment, however, it was all smiles. Its pair of normally sinister and savage blood-red eyes were squinted into crescents. It pounced onto Ash's back, giving him a huge hug.
"Hey, Gengar, why are you so happy?" Ash asked curiously.
Just a while ago, it had been acting like it was on the verge of death over a failed online romance.
"Geng, geng, geng!!"
The Gengar spoke a string of Dragon Language, its two chubby hands forming a "1" and a "0" and crossing them back and forth as it described something with great passion and emotion.
To sum it up in one sentence: As expected of the big city, everyone's on another level!
The female Gengars in the city really know how to have fun!
So many tricks, and so skilled!
"..."
Before Ash could get any details, a sharp gust of wind shot past his cheek. Ash's expression changed, and he quickly raised his hand to catch the incoming Hidden Weapon.
Opening his palm, he saw a coin-like Badge, gleaming gold.
Ash turned his head and found Sabrina watching him with a smile.
"This is proof of your victory at the Saffron Gym, the Gold Badge," Sabrina explained.
Although her voice was still cold and blunt, Ash could detect a hint of gentleness within it.
So, he subconsciously blurted out:
"Is this pure gold?"
Sabrina: "?"
After hesitating for a long time, she explained with a bit of stiffness:
"It's gold-plated..."
It wasn't that their Saffron Gym was stingy; these Badges were all uniformly produced by the League. The cheapskate Pokémon League would naturally never make Badges out of pure gold.
Even the Champion's Trophy from the regional Tournament was just gold-plated.
If it were up to their loaded Saffron Gym, they would use 98K pure gold at the very least!
Sabrina wanted to further explain that it really wasn't because they lacked the money. Her serious and stiff manner made Ash chuckle. He quickly waved his hand, indicating that he was only joking.
A Sabrina like this didn't seem so terrifying to him; in fact, he found her somewhat cute.
Seeing this, Sabrina took a deep breath to compose herself, trying her best to curve her lips upward before extending her hand.
"That was a splendid battle, little Ash..."
"It was a splendid battle. You're also the strongest Trainer I've ever met."
Ash also extended his hand and, without a second thought, grasped her fair one, completely ignoring the suddenly pale faces of Brock and Misty behind him.
Having her hand held by someone of the opposite sex, Sabrina felt a little unnatural. A strange feeling stirred in her heart, but she quickly pulled her arm away.
This was the first time she had ever had direct contact with a member of the opposite sex who was around her age.
With previous Challengers, like Gary, as long as they won, she would use her powerful Telekinesis to blast them, along with a Badge, right out the Gym's main entrance!
As waves of Cheers rose from the surroundings, the Saffron Gym Battle officially came to a close.
