Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

"Hmph, his strength is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he's the man who defeated Shinji!"

Axun, unwilling to accept defeat, put away his Starhawk and then sent out the next Pokémon.

"..."

Ash simply smiled and remained silent.

"Go ahead, Roserade!"

"A battle between Grass-types?" Ash asked, then shook his head.

In his opinion, even Staraptor, a Flying-type Pokémon, couldn't beat his Bayleef, let alone Roserade!

Although Grass-type attacks have resistance, Bayleef, with its sheer power, eliminated Roserade with a final Solar Beam.

"So strong?"

Ah Xun was starting to doubt his life, never expecting to be defeated time and time again by a bay leaf.

"I refuse to believe I can't beat you today!"

As if in a fit of pique, Ashun sent out his last Pokémon, which was also his trump card.

"Nabo~"

Standing on the field is a large penguin similar to Bogarman, which is none other than the final evolved form, Emperor Naboo.

"They actually sent out the Water-type Empoleon!" Ash chuckled, curious as to why the other side dared to send out Empoleon against the type limit.

"Hmph, don't underestimate my trump card, it will definitely beat your Laurel Leaf!" Ah Xun said confidently.

"Emperor Nabo, Water Cannon!"

As if to prove himself, Ah Xun even had Emperor Nabo use a water cannon to attack.

"Forehead……"

Seeing this, Ash didn't even bother to give any instructions, letting Bayleaf take the brunt of the attack.

The powerful jet of water had no effect on the bay leaf; instead, it was like bathwater, giving the bay leaf a thorough soaking.

"Damn it, Emperor Naboo, unleash the Hydroelectric Cannon!"

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Ash refused to believe it and had Empoleon use the ultimate move of the three Water-type starter Pokémon.

"Sunfire!"

Faced with this attack, Ash didn't let Bayleaf take the hit head-on. Instead, he retaliated with a blazing Solar Beam, instantly blasting the Hydro Pump away.

"Laurel leaf, let's have another burst of blazing sunlight!"

Because using Hydro Cannon would result in a stalemate, just like with Hyper Beam, Ash sent Bayleef to press his advantage, and another blazing beam of light hit Empoleon.

"The mountain is overwhelming!"

Finally, Laurel Leaf took a heavy step and leaped high into the air, slamming heavily onto Emperor Naboo, delivering a fatal blow and ending the fight in a simple and brutal way.

Chapter 195 Gym Challenge, Battle Against Ghost-type

After Ash used Bay Leaf to win a three-on-one battle, the three of them separated from Ash and headed to the Pokémon Center.

However, along the way, the three of them continued to discuss Ah Xun's performance, and his peculiar personality only added to the humor of their conversation.

Especially the moment when he was defeated in a three-on-one battle, he was so angry that he shouted things like "Too strong, he must be fined," which left an indelible impression on the three of them.

"So it's Ah Xun, no wonder he's so funny!" After learning his name, Xiao Guang recalled this boy from the same small town.

However, it's all a dark history, which Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang have been revealing extensively.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the three quickly arrived at the Pokémon Center.

After registering for their dorm rooms, the three of them separated for the time being and went about their own business.

Ash went to the communicator and contacted Professor Oak to exchange his Pokémon.

After a brief chat, I successfully obtained the elf I requested and then hung up the phone.

Turning around, he took Pikachu to the backyard to get acquainted with the new member.

……

Soon it was afternoon, and the three well-prepared individuals headed towards the Fate Dojo.

"Ah Xun, are you going to challenge the gym too?"

In front of the gym, Ash bumped into Ash, who had arrived earlier, and couldn't help but ask.

"That's right! But since you beat me, I'll let you challenge first!" Ah Xun patted his chest, showing a magnanimous demeanor.

"Thanks!"

Xiao Zhi was very happy, he didn't expect to receive this benefit.

"But...didn't you say you stayed in Yosuga City for several days..." Hikaru was puzzled, then, as if remembering something, she said with a smile, "Didn't you succeed in the challenge?!"

"Hey... Xiao Guang, give him some face!" She gently touched Xiao Guang's hand, indicating that she should give him some face.

"slightly……"

Xiao Guang realized he had said the wrong thing and stuck out his tongue sheepishly.

Fortunately, Ah Xun didn't care. He just told the three of them to go inside quickly, otherwise he would fine them again.

Upon entering the dojo, they once again encountered Melissa, who was bound with many rice balls.

"Hello, Miss Melissa, I'm here to challenge the gym."

"Hi, boy, it's been a long time! I grant your request!" Melissa responded enthusiastically and accepted Ash's challenge.

Soon, Ash and Melissa stood on either side of the gym, while a referee explained the rules of the match in the middle, and the rest of the people sat in the audience to watch the battle.

"Both sides, please release your respective players!"

Since Melissa is the gym leader, she sends out her Pokémon first.

"Gengga~"

It is a round, chubby purple Gengar, the signature Ghost-type Pokémon, exuding a cold aura, and a mischievous Pokémon.

"Go, Night Hawk!"

Ash sent out his first caught shiny Pokémon, Noctowl.

Although it is not a Psychic-type Pokémon, it can use many Psychic-type moves and has extensive experience in battling Ghost-type Pokémon.

"Cuckoo~"

The moment it appeared, the glittering night owl attracted everyone's attention.

"They're fining us! They even have a Shiny Nighthawk!" Ah Xun shouted enviously. "But I wonder how strong they are?"

"If it's Night Hawk, then we've definitely won this match!" Xiao Gang said confidently after analyzing the situation, recalling Night Hawk's performance at Ecruteak Gym.

"So strong!" Ah Xun was speechless.

"This color of the nightjar is so beautiful!" However, Hikari didn't listen to their conversation; her gaze was drawn to its gorgeous appearance.

Meanwhile, on the field, the match officially began.

"A shiny Noctowl, a very good Pokémon!" Melissa couldn't help but praise it upon seeing it. "Then let me see how strong it is!"

"Nighthawk, Air Blade!"

Ash took the initiative, with Noctowl flapping its dazzling wings in mid-air, sending out sharp, transparent wind blades mixed with a bit of air current straight at Gengar.

"Gengar, shadow ball!"

Melissa's Gengar, showing no sign of weakness, gathered a jet-black energy ball in its hands, which collided with Noctowl's air blades with violent energy.

The evenly matched attacks caused an explosion, creating a cloud of smoke on the field.

"The situation on the field is favorable for Gengar!" Melissa exclaimed with delight as she looked at the thick smoke.

"Not always!"

The next second, the Night Hawk flapped its wings, creating a storm on the field and blowing away the thick smoke.

"Hmm! Gengar is gone!" Dawn exclaimed in surprise as she watched Gengar disappear from the audience.

"It's hidden; that's the talent of Ghost-type Pokémon!" Brock explained.

“That’s right, Gym Leader Melissa’s Pokémon are really too troublesome!” A-Xun, who had been defeated by Melissa, agreed.

"Noctopus, spot it!" Ash calmly commanded the invisible Gengar.

A red light emanated from the Nighthawk's wise eyes, scanning the surrounding area.

In the blink of an eye, Gengar's true form was fully revealed before Noctowl's eyes.

"As expected, these little tricks are useless against the Night Hawk!" Although her invisibility was exposed, Melissa was not surprised.

"Strange light!"

Melissa changed tactics, having Gengar unleash a burst of light from its blood-red eyes to surround Noctowl, attempting to throw Noctowl into a state of confusion.

Fortunately, the night owl was agile and skillfully avoided the attack.
