Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

However, in the Pokémon Hall, they encountered someone they knew.

He has a cold face, purplish-gray hair, and his hands are in his pockets, giving him a cold feeling.

As Ash noticed Shinji, the latter stared at Ash with indifferent eyes and said calmly, "Want to have a battle?"

"I'll skip this one!" Ash waved his hand without hesitation and explained, "I'm going to challenge the Black Gold Gym later!"

The reason he refused Shinji was that the dojo challenge was his excuse.

After battling Chimchar in the Forest of Confusion, he learned that there is a cooldown period for battling Pokémon. If he challenges the same Pokémon within a month, the amount of coins he receives will be reduced to one percent of the original amount.

To maximize his gains, he would not accept Shinji's challenge unless it was two weeks later.

Upon hearing this, Shinji immediately frowned. With his meticulous mind, he naturally understood that this was Ash's reason for refusing the challenge.

But he was determined to avenge his previous defeat, and Shinji, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "What's so great about these gyms that you should challenge them? They're all so weak, they're worthless except for getting beaten up."

Shinji wanted to change Ash's mind, but Ash ignored him.

This only made Xiao Gang, who was standing to the side, frown and look somewhat displeased.

After all, he was a gym leader before, and although he is traveling now, he has not lost his honor as a gym leader.

Unfortunately, the other party's impression of gym leaders was already fixed, and Xiao Gang knew that no matter how much he argued, it would be a waste of breath.

Xiao Zhi, who didn't respond, also understood this principle.

As a Pokémon enthusiast who was fortunate enough to read the special manga, Ash, who was transported to this world and possessed a cheat-like advantage, dared not underestimate the group of Gym Leaders.

Because no one knows better than him how many "old sixes" are hidden among gym trainers in the world.

Take the early Kanto region for example. Can you believe that the first gym right outside Ash's starting village is hiding the boss of a criminal organization?

As the leader of Team Rocket in the Kanto region, Giovanni was the pride of all the people of Kanto before he was discovered, and he won the title of the strongest Gym Leader with his great strength.

Everyone at the time knew that this was a player whose talent was no less than that of champions from other regions.

Based solely on his classification as a ground-based character, he was dubbed "the Sakaki of the Earth" by the people of Kanto.

Similarly, there's Kiwi from Fuchsia City. In the same year that Ash challenged the Johto League, Kiwi successfully completed the Elite Four path and became the Poison Elite Four member of the Johto Elite Four.

Not far from Fuchsia City, on Cinnabar Island, lives the retired Fire-type Elite Four member, Blaine.

Next door, next door... when Sabrina from Goldenrod City set off, she was quite formidable, her overpowered psychic abilities giving Ash the original a severe beating.

If it weren't for the quirky Gastly making the emotionless Sabrina laugh, it's hard to say whether Smart could have gotten the Gold Badge from her.

Moreover, once the emotionless girl Sabrina returns to normal, her strength will definitely experience a surge.

Finally, Lt. Surge, the curator of the neighboring city of Vermilion, is no ordinary man either.

I heard that he is also a veteran, and I don't know why he came to Kuroba City to become a gym owner.

The fact that he became a gym owner right after retiring shows that his true strength has not been fully realized.

Nibi, Cerulean, and Rainbow are all established gyms, but their successors are still relatively inexperienced and have not yet reached their peak strength.

From Misty and Brock's performance in the Sun & Moon series, we can see that Mega Gyarados and Mega Steelix are enough to make new trainers in Kanto go back to their parents.

Let's set aside the Rainbow Gym, whose information we don't know.

From the above gyms, we can see that the gym leaders are a group called the Sixth.

It's not that they can't defeat the trainers who come to challenge them.

They simply take on the responsibility of being gym leaders, feeding these newly grown babies experience points and gradually raising them to higher levels.

Only when their strength is recognized by the gym leaders can these trainers receive badges and eagerly participate in the League Tournament.

Otherwise, do you really think gym leaders are as bad as you imagine?

The fact that they can become Gym Leaders proves that they are geniuses among geniuses in the trainer community.

Moreover, they themselves will definitely grow; they are just agreeing to the league's request and taking on the responsibility of evaluating new trainers.

Moreover, this is only the easy mode gym trainer; Shinji probably hasn't never seen the hell difficulty before.

In this special episode, can you believe that almost any Gym Leader has the ability to go toe-to-toe with an Elite Four member?

Although their strengths fluctuate, each of them is an extremely powerful individual.

The most outrageous of them all is the hidden boss in the Chengdu area, Masked Man Liu Bo.

A small boar in its initial form defeated Lugia, the god of ocean currents, while another messenger bird in its initial form defeated Ho-Oh, the god of Chengdu.

This outrageous move instantly raised the bar for gym trainers.

This also made him very glad that he hadn't traveled into the world of the special episode.

If he were to go to that world, he would have no choice but to cling to the crimson thigh of the fighter, lest he accidentally get killed in a special episode world governed by the Dark Forest Law.

This also proves once again that gym trainers are all the worst.

This also tells us that whenever a champion wants to retire, or a villain wants to hide their identity, they must start by looking for a dojo trainer.

So please remember, never underestimate Gym Leaders, because there's a hidden master among them.

Chapter 33: Challenging the Gym, Hyota's Fossil Pteranodon

"Here I come, Ash!"

Right there in the hall, because of Ash and Shinji, there was a strange atmosphere in the air.

But a light and cheerful voice broke the unique atmosphere.

It turned out to be a girl who had already tidied her hair, and she had put on the white hat with the pink Poké Ball pattern again. With her slightly shiny blue hair, she twirled around and came to Ash.

Unfortunately, the girl inadvertently noticed that besides Ash and Brock, there was also a cool-looking boy dressed in purple in the hall.

It was Shinji from not long ago. Upon seeing the person who had arrived, his beaming smile immediately vanished.

She hates this guy.

Dawn still vividly remembers how Ash kindly helped Paul's Chimchar, but Paul didn't appreciate it.

"Ash, let's hurry up and go challenge the gym."

The girl fully responded to her heart, came behind Ash, put one hand on his shoulder and pushed the boy away.

She didn't want to stay here and see that annoying, expressionless man.

"Xiao Gang, let's go!"

He took the opportunity to enjoy the girl's shoving while calling out to Xiao Gang behind him.

"coming!"

Gon glanced at Shinji, then followed with a somber expression.

"..."

Apart from Miss Joy at the front desk, Shinji was suddenly left all alone in the entire hall.

Shinji paused for a moment, watching the three figures disappear into the distance, but ultimately decided to follow them.

It wasn't that he wanted to keep asking Ash for more; it was just that Ash also needed to challenge the Black Gold Gym.

The location of the Black Gold City Gym is quite unique; it's not a landmark building, but rather situated directly inside a hollowed-out mine.

Aside from Brock, who is also a Rock-type Gym Leader, Ash (who is also meeting this Gym Leader for the first time) and Dawn, the two teenagers, were both slightly surprised.

But through Xiaogang's explanation, they realized that in a city dominated by mining, it's quite normal for dojos to be located inside.

Because the original Pewter Gym was like that too.

The three arrived inside the mine and found a large gate ahead.

The door is open, indicating that the gym leader is inside, ready to accept any challenge from trainers.

"It's so dark here!"

Because it is at the bottom of the mine, light cannot penetrate, so it appears dark.

This caused the girl, who was afraid of the dark, to cling tightly to Ash's right hand.

"Don't worry, there's light coming from the other side of the gate!"

Feeling the touch on his right hand, Xiao Zhi gently comforted the girl and slowly led her to the gate.

"Hello, I'm Ash from Pallet Town, here to challenge the Gym Badge."

Upon reaching the entrance, Ash shouted loudly inside.

A moment later, a handsome young man wearing a red work hat approached Xiaozhi and his two companions, offering a polite smile.

"Welcome, Trainer! Please follow me!"

With a snap of his fingers, the lights in the entire arena suddenly came on, dispelling all the darkness.

At that moment, the girl blushed and let go of her hands, thanked him gratefully, and then went to the audience seats with Xiao Gang.

"Then I'll read the challenge rules first..."

A referee, also wearing a red engineering hat, stepped forward and announced that it was a three-on-three duel, allowing both sides to send out their Pokémon.
