Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

"Let's have a fierce battle with me, Gyarados!"

With a powerful roar, a ferocious-looking, blue, serpentine Gyarados with its gaping maw appeared in the water.

Because it is a water-themed gym, the gym's layout is mainly based on water-related areas.

"Gyarados! It looks so fierce!"

Xiao Guang took out his Pokédex and silently scanned the information about Gyarados.

"Come on, Bulbasaur!"

With a flash of red light, Bulbasaur landed steadily on the floating board on the water's surface, calmly facing the seemingly ferocious Gyarados.

"Not bad! Bulbasaur wasn't scared at all when it met my Gyarados!" Yoshino couldn't help but praise Bulbasaur for its calm and composed performance.

"Sunny day!"

Ash simply smiled slightly, then used his right as the challenger to give the order first.

"Dana~"

In just a moment, the plant on Bulbasaur's back condensed a fire-type energy and shot it into the air, instantly turning the air in the entire gym scorching hot.

This surprised Yoshino on the other side. The fact that the Bulbasaur knew Sunny Day meant that the other party was not a newbie.

On a watery field where movement is impossible, the next move is obviously a Grass-type power move.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's have a clash of titans!"

Despite noticing Ash's next move, Yoshinobu intends to confront him head-on.

"Gyarados, Hydro Pump!"

A powerful water cannon erupted from Gyarados's gaping maw, shooting straight at Bulbasaur.

"Sunfire!"

In a daze, Bulbasaur's plant instantly gathered the energy needed for the Sunbeams' Blazing Sun, and suddenly burst out, colliding with Gyarados's Water Gun.

The two attacks collided, and Bulbasaur's Solar Beam crushed Hydro Pump without a doubt, striking Gyarados in the process.

The powerful blow knocked Gyarados to the ground, securing a decisive victory in the first round.

"???"

Seeing this, Ji Xian stared wide-eyed, a huge question mark on his face.

Bulbasaur is so strong!

Xiao Guang covered his mouth, not expecting that Gyarados would be defeated by Bulbasaur in an instant.

“Of course, these are Ash’s earliest companions. Even though they haven’t evolved, they’re still quite strong!” Brock replied matter-of-factly.

"Ahem!" Ji Xian could only cough twice to cover his embarrassment at this result. "Very good, young man, let's move on to the next line!"

Despite being instantly defeated, Yoshinobu, with his thick skin, recalled his Gyarados and prepared to start the next line.

Seeing the other party's actions, Xiaozhi couldn't help but admire Yoshinobu's strong mental fortitude.

Being able to ignore the fact that Gyarados was instantly defeated shows that it truly has exceptional skills.

If it were Ah Li from Veil City who came, he might have a serious doubt about life.

After all, being instantly defeated by Bulbasaur in its initial form would make anyone else question their existence.

Even though the Bulbasaur in front of us is close to level 60 when its strength is converted into levels.

Yoshinobu sent out Quagsire as his second Pokémon, which was a light blue Pokémon.

"Swamp King, Freeze Ray!"

Because of Bulbasaur's ability to instantly defeat Gyarados, Yoshinobu became more cautious and began using Ice Beam for ranged attacks in the water.

Ice-type attacks are twice as effective against Bulbasaur, and can deal fatal damage to it.

"Hold on!"

However, this attack was blocked by the light green shield around Bulbasaur, successfully defending against the attack.

"Swamp King, Blizzard!"

Under Quagsire's control, a series of icy blizzards erupted within the gym, suddenly attacking Bulbasaur.

"Flying Leaf Storm!"

Ash didn't hesitate to retaliate.

"Dana~"

With a tender cry, numerous leaves emerged from Bulbasaur's plant, swept up by a powerful storm and blizzard.

Logically speaking, Ice-type Blizzard should have a certain advantage over Grass-type Leaf Storm.

However, Bulbasaur's strength was slightly superior to the opponent's Blizzard, and with the help of Sunny Day, Leaf Storm quickly defeated Blizzard.

Finally, to Yoshinobu's horrified gaze, a storm of flying leaves swept across the area where Swamp King was located.

The water-and-ground hybrid Swamp King, facing Leaf Storm, used a four-fold counter to Blink, causing Swamp King to fall on the water and securing victory in the second match.

Chapter 162, fourth badge obtained.

"The Floating Weasel, the final evolution of the Swimming Weasel, is adept at hunting prey in the water. Its floatation pouch is therefore extremely well-developed, and once inflated, it can allow a human to sit on it!"

In the audience, Xiao Guang held up his Pokédex and scanned a Pokémon in the pool that looked somewhat similar to Swimsuit, except that the air sac around its neck was larger.

This snorkeling weasel is none other than Yoshinobu's trump card.

Seeing his Pokémon get one after another being defeated, Yoshinobu lost his composure. In order to salvage his remaining dignity, he had no choice but to solemnly release his last Pokémon—FloatWeasel.

Ash, on the other hand, recalled Bulbasaur and sent out Buizel instead.

We can let this kid fight his evolved form first, so he can adapt to future battles.

"Hey hey~"

However, when facing its evolved form, Swimsuit arrogantly beckoned to the other, taking the initiative to provoke it.

Ash opened his mouth in disbelief, then could only helplessly cover his face. He hadn't expected that even after so much time, Swimsuit's arrogant attitude hadn't changed.

"What an arrogant snorkeling weasel!" Yoshino couldn't help but exclaim. "Snorkeling weasel, show them what you're made of!"

"Hello~"

Upon hearing Yoshinori's words, the initially agitated snorkeling weasel quickly calmed down and waited for its opponent's attack.

"Alright, Swim-Weasel, unleash your water jet!"

Seeing the taunting Swim-Itachi, Ash gave the first command to attack.

Call ~

The next second, Swim-Itachi, now in battle mode, had a serious expression. His entire body was enveloped in water as he flew low and charged forward.

boom!

However, without Yoshinobu's command, the Floating Weasel opened the floaters around its neck, inflating them to block the Water Jet Weasel's jet of water and bounce it back.

"Oh, what an interesting defense!"

Ash was impressed by the performance of the Floating Weasel and saw the next training method for the Swim-breathing Weasel.

"Hmph!" As if he had finally gotten his revenge, Yoshino happily put his hands on his hips and said, "Don't underestimate my snorkeling weasel; the air sac on its neck has been specially trained!"

Before Ash could even react, Yoshino gave the order: "Floating Weasel, Sonic Boom!"

As an evolved form, the advantage of the Floating Weasel is its more ferocious offensive methods, capable of unleashing five or six transparent arc-shaped attacks in the blink of an eye.

"Dive!" Ash calmly gave the order.

Without the slightest hesitation, Swim-Weasel nimbly jumped into the water, skillfully dodging the sonic boom attack, and surfaced to harass its opponent with a water gun.

"Chase after them, Floating Weasel!"

The enormous Floatzel also dived down to engage in an underwater battle with Swim-Style. Neither trainer gave any further orders, and the battle proceeded entirely on their own, relying on the Pokémon's abilities.

The main reason is that underwater sound transmission is blocked, which causes a delay in the trainer's commands, so the Pokémon have to rely on improvisation.

As a wild Pokémon, Swimsuit had a stronger ability to fight independently.

So, Swim-breathing Weasel relied on its unique offensive techniques to seize the opportunity and unleash a jet of water that struck the Floating Weasel, knocking it out of the water in one blow.

"What?" Ji Xian was taken aback.

Ash's Inspire Ivory was surprisingly strong, defeating the evolved form, Float Ivory, leaving Yoshino bewildered.

Why are the opponent's initial Pokémon so strong? It doesn't conform to the laws of training at all!

"Swimming Weasel, water jet!"

Just as Yoshino was surprised, Ash's command came, and Swim-Weasel was once again enveloped by the water and rushed towards Float-Weasel at high speed.

Seeing this, Yoshinobu had no choice but to put aside his thoughts and get back into the battle.

"Floating Weasel, use your Ice Beam to freeze the opponent!"

This time, facing the charging Swim-type Weasel, Yoshino changed his strategy, intending to freeze the opponent directly and change their offensive rhythm.
