Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

After watching the match between Toki and Sabrina, Ash's fighting spirit has been ignited.

Tokito thought for a moment, then took out the brand-new, gleaming golden badge with three sharp claws engraved on it from his pocket and handed it to Ash, saying, "Here, Ash, you can take this first."

"Eh?"

Xiaozhi was stunned.

Shidou explained, "This is a brand new gold badge. Although the League stipulates that the old gold badge that Sabrina has is still valid this year and can be used to participate in the Indigo League Conference... there is no doubt that the 'value' and symbolic meaning of this brand new Fighting-type gold badge that you can get from me are completely different."

Shi Dou spoke with confidence, but not with arrogance.

The news of Tokito's victory over Sabrina last night has already spread throughout Kanto. Tokito has become famous overnight, and the badge obtained by defeating him naturally represents a higher level of difficulty and stronger recognition of his strength.

Ash looked at the cool-designed badge, then opened his jacket to reveal four glittering badges pinned to the inside.

The grey badge of Dark Grey City, obtained from Xiao Gang.

The blue badge of Cerulean City was obtained from Misty and her sister.

The orange badge of Vermilion City, obtained from Lt. Surge after a difficult victory over Raichu.

And finally, the Golden Badge of Golden City, after a long and winding journey, was finally obtained from Miss Sabrina.

These guild leaders record Ash's journey.

Ash looked at Tokito's new golden-haired Gym Leader, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes, but he firmly shook his head and said loudly, "Thank you, Mr. Tokito. But no need! I still prefer to rely on my own strength to challenge Mr. Tokito's Gym fairly and squarely, and then personally obtain this badge from you!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu also stood on Ash's shoulder, clenching its little fist in support.

Shidou paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly and approvingly. He put away the badge, patted Ash on the shoulder, and said, "That's good too. That's more like you, Ash! Well then, I wish you good luck in your Rainbow City Gym challenge, good luck!"

"Yes!" Ash nodded emphatically, then his eyes blazed with an even brighter fire. Pointing at Tokito, he said confidently, "Mr. Tokito, just you wait! Once I've collected all eight badges, I'll definitely go back to Saffron City and challenge you again!"

"It's a word."

Toki accepted the challenge with a smile, even though he knew in his heart that by the time Ash collected all eight badges, given his own growth rate, he would probably be able to turn the entire Kanto region upside down.

But this does not prevent him from respecting and looking forward to the agreement.

The two smiled at each other, bumped fists forcefully, and made a promise to fight each other in the future.

Before parting, Shidou seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression becoming somewhat subtle. He leaned closer to Xiaozhi and lowered his voice to remind him, "By the way, Xiaozhi, here's a little tip for you from Celadon City... um... never upset the girls, especially about the things they like. Don't say anything or complain about them, or the consequences could be serious."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Ash looked completely bewildered, failing to grasp the deeper meaning behind Shi Tiao's words.

"Well... you'll probably find out later. Anyway, keep that in mind and take care of yourself."

Shi Dou revealed a mysterious smile, one that seemed to hint at amusement.

Tokito clearly remembers the original work...

Ash and his friends arrive in Celadon City. Misty and Brock are drawn to a perfume shop and want to buy some perfume. Ash is unhappy about this, saying that perfume is meaningless and he doesn't need it.

This angered the perfume shop manager, Rika, and she was kicked out.

Ash then went to the Celadon Gym alone to challenge it, but was refused entry because he had said something bad about the perfume before...

In the end, they relied on a clever trick from Team Rocket, dressing up as women to sneak into the gym and challenge it.

This "dark history" is quite interesting.

Although the world may change because of his arrival, Ash's stubborn and inflexible personality is unlikely to change, so it's always good to give him a heads-up.

With a slight worry about what his friends might face in the future and a touch of mischievousness, Tokito waved goodbye to everyone. Ash, on the other hand, with a longing for the badge and a hint of doubt about Tokito's warning, headed towards the Rainbow Gym to prepare for his next challenge.

Before officially leaving Yuhong City, Shidou thought about it and decided to visit the famous Yuhong Department Store.

As the largest general store in the Kanto region, it has a wide variety of goods, making it a perfect place to buy some necessities to take back to the Gym in Saffron City.

After browsing around the mall, Shi Dou's shopping cart was soon filled with all sorts of things.

High-grade energy cubes and special-flavored Pokémon food that Pokémon like, tools and decorations needed for the daily maintenance of the gym, and some personal items he uses.

When he arrived at the checkout counter, the young cashier glanced up at Shi Dou between scanning the items. She paused for a moment, then her face quickly flushed with surprise.

"You, you're Mr. Tokito?! The new gym leader who defeated Miss Sabrina in the arena yesterday?!" The cashier exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.

"It's me, hello." Shi Dou nodded with a smile.

"Oh my god! I really admire you so much! I watched your match live, InCarlos is so handsome! Could, could you please sign my autograph? And take a picture with me?" The cashier clasped her hands together, her eyes full of anticipation.

Faced with the girl's enthusiastic request, Shi Dou naturally wouldn't refuse, as he has always been very friendly to his fans.

Shi Dou readily accepted the pen, signed his name on the back of the shopping receipt handed to him, and then posed for a photo together.

"Thank you! Mr. Tokito, I wish you all the best at the Saffron City Gym!" The cashier thanked her with satisfaction and quickly packed his goods.

Just as Tokito was about to leave, his gaze was drawn to a striking poster next to the cashier. The poster depicted various Fighting-type Pokémon battling fiercely, with the words "Fighting-type Pokémon Battle" written at the top.

P1 Fighting Tournament!

"Excuse me, what is this P1 fighting tournament?" Tokito asked curiously, pointing to the poster.

The cashier explained enthusiastically, "Oh, this! This is an annual Fighting-type Pokémon tournament held in a small town next to Celadon City! It attracts many powerful fighters and their Pokémon, it's very lively!"

P1 Fighting Tournament... Tokito immediately remembered.

Should we add a mode where players can challenge the Seer's Boss or use a space capsule to gain experience? What do you all think?

Or do you have any other suggestions? Feel free to write them down!

Chapter 82 Energy from Outer Space, Fusion Begins, Iyoda!

P1 Fighting Tournament...

Isn't this the same competition Ash participated in with his exceptionally talented Primeape from the original series?

In the story, Ash seems to have entered the competition to help a little girl named Aimei get her father, who is obsessed with fighting games, to come home.

In the end, Primalmon defeated the top seed Hitmonlee to win the championship, and then... Fantawild, who had never beaten Primalmon before, actually suggested that Ash keep the champion Primalmon by his side for "training"?

And Ash actually agreed?!

Thinking of this, Shi Dou was speechless.

Ash's Primeape is already a Fighting Champion without any training. Does it need you, its defeated opponent, to train it? What's the difference between this and a top student being tutored by a poor student?

That's pure thuggery!

If that Primalmon had stayed with Ash and been properly trained, it could have evolved into the powerful Forsaken in the future, how strong would that have been!

What a waste of natural resources!

Tokito wasn't particularly interested in participating in the competition itself, since, judging from the original work, the upper limit of this competition was only Ash's wild Primeape.

Whether it's Gager's "Instant Kill Fist" or Incaros's "Vacuum Thousand Fierce Break," participating in this "Baby Cup" is simply a matter of being outclassed; it's purely bullying children and offers absolutely no challenge.

Unless... the next Pokémon that Shidou summons happens to be a Fighting-type Pokémon and not very high level, then it might be worth considering taking it to level up and maybe even win the championship prize money.

After keeping this information in mind, Shi Dou smiled and said goodbye to the cashier, Xiao Mei, then walked out of Yu Hong Department Store carrying large and small shopping bags.

As he drove his car and watched the Yuhong City streetscape gradually recede from the window, Tokito felt relaxed and expectant.

………………

After driving for an hour, Tokito finally returned to the familiar Goldenrod City. However, when he dragged his luggage and, filled with excitement about officially moving into the dojo, walked to the street where the fighting dojo was located, the scene before him instantly petrified him, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

"Wait... what's going on?!"

The once spacious street was now filled with long queues!

A long, winding line of trainers stretched out from the entrance of his Fighting Dojo, which was adorned with a brand-new "Official Certification" sign, turned a corner, and even reached the entrance of the neighboring Sabrina Psychic Dojo!

The place was bustling with noise and discussion; it was quite a lively scene!

Just then, the gym door was pushed open with a bang, and the gym assistant, Bulbasaur, stumbled out. Her once neat uniform was now wrinkled, her hair was disheveled, and she had dark circles under her eyes. Upon seeing Tokito, she looked at him as if he were her savior, and tears streamed down her face as she rushed towards him, sobbing.

"Senior brother!!! You're finally back!!! Help! Please come and help us! We can't handle this anymore!!!"

Shi Dou quickly helped her up and said softly, "Bu Miao, don't rush, don't rush, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

Sobbing, Bubba explained rapidly, "Ever since the news spread yesterday that you defeated Sabrina and our gym received official recognition, challengers have been flooding in like a tidal wave since early this morning! They all want to challenge you as soon as possible to get the new Golden Badge! The gym has been completely overwhelmed the day you weren't here!!!"

"I'm doing all three of these at once: registering the challenger, acting as the referee, and even the acting gym leader! After registering one challenger, I have to immediately run to the battle arena to read out the rules, and then run to the gym leader's command post to direct the Machokes and the others in battle... I... I'm exhausted!!!"

Bu Miao pointed to herself, gesturing with a wronged expression.

Seeing that Bu Miao was almost exhausted, Shi Dou felt guilty and quickly said, "I'm so sorry! It was my oversight. I didn't expect it to be so popular. Thank you for your hard work, Bu Miao!"

Shidou hurriedly followed Bumino into the gym.

Upon entering, an even more astonishing scene unfolded:

Beside the battlefield, Ursaring and Machoke, the two main fighters, were slumped on the ground with their backs against the wall, staring blankly at the ceiling, their chests heaving violently, and even their tongues were hanging out, looking completely drained.

Around them lay a circle of Fearless Kids and Arm Wrestlers, all panting heavily and too exhausted to move.

Clearly, as the strongest fighters in the gym, Ursaring and Machamp took on the vast majority of the gauntlet battles, completely draining their last bit of energy...

"Everyone, you've worked hard! I'm back, leave the rest to me!" Tokito quickly stepped forward to reassure everyone, then turned to Bumino and said, "Bumino, you just take care of the registration, I'll handle the battles!"

Bu Miao felt like she had been granted a pardon, nodded vigorously, and quickly ran to the front desk to sit down.

Tokito took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and strode towards the gym leader's command seat. Meanwhile, Bumino picked up the registration book and, with his last ounce of strength, shouted outside:

"Next challenger, please come in!! Mr. Hiroshi!"

The gym doors opened again, and a young trainer who looked energetic walked in, his eyes filled with a desire for battle and admiration for the Gym Leader.

Hiro?

Shi Dou remembered.

He is Ash's friend and rival at the Indigo League, and he helps Ash retrieve the Pokémon that Team Rocket took away.

In the round of 16, Hiroshi battled Ash in a Pokémon battle, but Ash's Charizard lost its fighting spirit, and Hiroshi narrowly defeated Ash to advance to the quarterfinals of the Indigo League.

Later, in the quarterfinals, he fought Lily until the last Pokémon. However, his Raine was no match for Lily's Bulbasaur, and he was defeated by Lily, thus failing to reach the semifinals.

It reappears in the Johto region and later joins Ash and his friends to rescue Lugia, who has been captured by Team Rocket.

It is said that Hiro's character design was based on Red from the game version, and he was created using some of Ash's unused settings. However, in reality, his strength is much weaker than the real Red.

If the blueprint is Red, then the three main Pokémon should be Pikachu, Charizard, and Snorlax, and they should ultimately win the Indigo League!

But these are just my true feelings.

Tokito looked at the first official challenger he had personally greeted and gave him a serious smile. "Welcome to the Saffron City Fighting Dojo. I am Tokito, the dojo master. You must already know the rules."

With excitement and nervousness on his face, Ahong nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Master Shidou, I watched your match with Miss Sabrina on the live stream. It was amazing! I will challenge you with all my might!"

Exhausted and nearly asleep, Bucat mustered its strength, raised the flag, and announced: "Saffron City Fighting Gym, Gym Challenge, rules 3vs3, the match ends when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle! Challengers can freely switch Pokémon, but Gym Leaders cannot! The match... begins!"

"It is my vanguard! Go, Garger!"

Shidou sent out that young boxer.

"My first one is—Babby!"

Ahong threw out a Poké Ball, and a flash of light appeared, revealing a Butterfree flapping its beautiful wings.

Bobby? This naming style... is quite unique.

Shi Dou couldn't help but sigh.

"Babby, strike first, use the hypnotic powder!"

Ah Hong gave the order first.
