Pokemon: Reborn As Ash, I'll Conquer Every League

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Blackthorn Gym, The Final Badge (Part 2)

Chapter 250: Blackthorn Gym, The Final Badge (Part 2)

After Charizard came out, Ash immediately used Aura to communicate: ”Charizard, the opponent is a bit weak. Take it easy; if you knock it out instantly, you won’t have any fun.”

Charizard glanced at Dragonair and nodded in agreement with Ash’s words.

”Charizard, use Flamethrower!”

Charizard opened its mouth and unleashed a torrent of flames. Facing this fire attack, Dragonair dived headfirst into the water, attempting to avoid the damage.

”Charizard, increase the power output!”

Hearing Ash’s command, the temperature of Charizard’s flames soared. A large amount of steam was produced in the pool; as the water level dropped, the water temperature gradually rose.

Hiding in the water, Dragonair felt like it was about to become boiled fish, so it seized an opportunity to bolt out of the pool.

”Dragonair, use Hyper Beam.”

”Charizard, use Dragon Dance to dodge the attack.”

Dragonair fired a Hyper Beam from the horn on its head, while Charizard spread its wings, twisting its body to perform Dragon Dance while dodging.

Dragonair fired three consecutive Hyper Beams, all of which Charizard dodged one by one.

”Dragonair, use Thunder Wave.”

”Charizard, use Flame Vortex.”

The two skills collided again, canceling out the damage.

For some reason, seeing the power of the skills Charizard was using, Ash had the illusion that he was watching Pikachu slacking off; its acting skills had truly improved.

”Strange, is Ash’s Charizard really this weak?”

On the sidelines, Liza was now doubting Charizard’s strength.

She clearly remembered that back at Charizard Valley, Ash’s Charizard could often hold its own against multiple opponents; why was it taking so long against just one Dragonair now?

She seriously suspected that Charizard was holding back, but she wasn’t sure if it was Charizard’s own intent or if Ash had instructed it to do so.

”Charizard, use Flamethrower.”

”Roar!”

Charizard aimed at the airborne Dragonair and unleashed another fire attack.

”Dragonair, use Safeguard!”

As the flames approached, a green light shone from Dragonair, and the flames were nullified.

”Very good. Dragonair, follow up with Iron Tail.”

”Ha~”

Dragonair stared intently at Charizard, its tail glowing with white light, ready to strike.

”Charizard, use Dragon Claw.”

Charizard’s claws also extended with energy blades.

As Dragonair’s tail lashed out, Charizard blocked with one claw and reached directly for Dragonair’s weak spot with the other.

Startled, Dragonair plummeted rapidly to avoid the damage, with Charizard following closely, continuously swinging its claws at Dragonair.

”Dragonair, use Dragon Rage.”

The orb at Dragonair’s neck glowed with white light, and a current of air mixed with lightning appeared around Dragonair.

The electric current made Charizard feel a tingling sensation.

”Charizard, use Flame Charge to grab it, then use Seismic Toss!”

The flames at the tip of Charizard’s tail spread across its entire body. It then pushed through Dragonair’s Dragon Rage and managed to grab hold of Dragonair.

Dragonair, its technique interrupted and still dazed, was taken into the air by Charizard and swung in a circle.

After spinning a few times, Dragonair’s eyes became dizzy, and it was finally slammed heavily onto the ground by Charizard.

”Dragonair is unable to battle; Charizard wins. Since the Gym Leader’s three Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner of this challenge match is Ash from Pallet Town!” Kaburagi announced the final result.

After recalling Dragonair, Clair said solemnly: ”Ash, you are truly strong. I look forward to you achieving victory at the Silver Conference. This is the Rising Badge; please accept it!”

”Right, I will do my best to win the championship at the Silver Conference!”

Ash put the badge away.

After the Gym match ended, Liza had to return to Charizard Valley, and Ash handed Charizard’s Poké Ball back to her.

Ash said: ”Ms. Liza, please continue to help take care of Charizard!”

”Mhm, don’t worry! I will take good care of him. However, there is something I would like to discuss with you, Ash. I would like to have Lisa and your Charizard mate to see if they can produce even better offspring.” Liza asked.

”For that, Ms. Liza, you should ask Charizard himself!”

Ash naturally knew that Charizard liked Liza’s Lisa, so he didn’t feel right interfering in such matters, even though he was Charizard’s Trainer.

Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Liza’s face: ”Alright, I know what to do!”

After saying goodbye to Liza and Charizard, Ash and his group learned from Clair that the Silver Conference would not be held for another three months, so they chose not to head to Mt. Silver immediately. However, they needed to return to New Bark Town to register for the tournament.

Consequently, after lingering in Blackthorn City for a day, the group set off on the journey back to New Bark Town.

They had been walking for less than three hours.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, it signaled that it was Brock’s cooking time.

Less than 800 meters away from Ash and his group, the Team Rocket Trio could only look on longingly, smelling the aroma of the food while eating sour, unknown fruits.

Also watching Ash’s group eating lunch was a blue Pokémon.

”Eevee?”

Eevee, who was just about to enjoy its lunch, looked up in confusion toward a patch of bushes.

The bushes rustled a few times, which undoubtedly piqued Eevee’s curiosity, and she approached it.

”Pika?”

Pikachu saw Eevee stop eating to explore the bushes and felt puzzled, so he slowly followed.

Misty noticed Pikachu and Eevee’s movements and said: ”Ash, Pikachu and Eevee have both run over there; aren’t you going to check it out?”

”No need. That little guy in the bushes has been following us for quite a while and doesn’t have any malicious intent; perhaps it’s just hungry,” Ash explained.

Since leaving Blackthorn City, he had sensed a Pokémon with an Aura very similar to Wobbuffet following behind them; if he wasn’t mistaken, it should be a Wynaut.

”A little guy that’s been following us for a long time? What kind of Pokémon is it?” Brock also asked in confusion.

Ash smiled: ”Hmm... you’ll know in a moment.”

He had great confidence in Pikachu’s social menace capabilities.

Sure enough, less than three minutes later.

Pikachu and Eevee dragged back a smiling blue Pokémon.

Upon seeing this Pokémon, Misty exclaimed: ”Wow, it’s a Wynaut!”

[Pokémon: Wynaut] [Type: Psychic] [Gender: Male] [Level: Elite Senior] [Ability: Shadow Tag (Pins the opponent’s shadow, preventing them from escaping or switching out)] [Potential: Elite] [Skills: Mirror Coat, Splash, Counter, Destiny Bond...]

”Pika Pipi Pikachu.” (Ash, I brought it back.)

Pikachu said to Ash, expecting praise.

”Well done.”

Ash reached out and ruffled Pikachu’s head.

”Little guy, how about you come with me?”

Jessie’s Wobbuffet could withstand attacks from Legendary Pokémon, and Ash quite envied that, so when he sensed this Wynaut, he had the urge to catch it.

Even if this Wynaut wasn’t as strong as Jessie’s, it might have miraculous effects when used to protect others.

If all else failed, he could leave the Wynaut at home to keep his mom company.

Wynaut looked at Ash seriously, then its gaze shifted to Pikachu and the others’ food.

Clearly, Wynaut was asking Ash if room and board were included.

”Little guy, as long as you join us, all your meals and lodging are covered, and I can even make you stronger!” Ash tempted it.

Hearing this, Wynaut was silent for two seconds, then decisively chose to join the group.

Ash took the opportunity to take out a Poké Ball and tapped it against Wynaut.
