Chapter 101: 101. Whirlpool
I'm very sorry to say this but Primeape is not evolving in this version. The main character (Luke) came here before ever knowing of Generation 9. Thus he would not know how to evolve Primeape. Thank you for your support and understanding.

This is an extra chapter because we hit 100 Power Stones. For every 100 Power Stones, I will make a new extra chapter.

"Machoke loses the ability to fight any longer and thus making Primeape win, so the winner of this Gym Challenge is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" The referee looked at Primeape with a lingering fear in his eyes after seeing Primeapes rage!
"Pri!"
After beating the opponents Machoke violently, Primeape seemed unable to calm down his anger. Ash gently stroked the white fur on the back of his head, and then he slowly began to calm down from his rage inducing fight.
"Ash, you don't know amazing your Primeape is at being able to control his anger!" Brock looked at Ash and Primeape and couldn't help but admire them.
"Yes, I still remember it so well, when Ash commanded Primeape and when they won at that arena!" Misty added with a smile.
Chuck helped Machoke up who had lost the ability to fight, "Machoke, are you okay partner?"
Machoke was sitting cross-legged on the ground. It was obvious that the injury was not serious enough to make him disabled. He could just go to the Pokémon Center to recover with time and with the help over there.
Chuck patted the muscles of its arm, "Don't worry, I will never forget your braveness!"
"Ash! It was very good head-to-head battle. This battle was really enjoyable for me and my Pokémon's. This is the first time I've seen a Trainer like you!"
"You can communicate with your Pokémon very well, every order you give and how they follow it so perfectly is a very beautiful thing. And with your admirable strength and powerful thinking, you will definitely be able to fulfill your dream and become the Pokémon Master you so desire!"
This is the highest praise that Ash has ever received, coming from a muscular man who has been training all day long!
"Thank you, Chuck!"
"This Storm Badge is most suitable for a Trainer like you! Also, I hope you can accept this gift from me!" Chuck handed over a Badge and also two booklets.
"This first one is the recipe my wife wrote while you were not here but it contains lots of recipes that will help you and your Pokémon exercise and get stronger. It's a precious thing from my wife." He said that in his first breath making Ash and Brock very tankful for this booklet.
"This thing on the other hand is all my experience accumulated over the years of training Fighting-type Pokémon. I hope it's useful to you!"
Ash accepted the booklet seriously. It was a priceless treasure full of friendship!
"Thank you, I don't know how I could ever repay you for all this." Ash said softly.
Chuck, hearing this just laughed it off. "Our battle just now was more than worth it for this thing. I don't need it anymore but it could help you in your future training."
Tonight, Ash and his party stayed in Chuck's Gym/home. Although the layout here is simple, it feels warm and comfortable just like a good home.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ash also accepted a practice match from several apprentices in the gym. Even if the Exchange Points are less, no matter how small it is, it's still has its use. (Right guys??)
And when the number of challenges accumulates, the amount of points will not be small at all.
After the battle, Misty took Molly to the beach for a walk and see the night beach. Brock continued to learn the nutritious cooking from Chucks wife, while Ash called the Olivine Gym, which was just a call away from here.
"Ash, I'm sorry. Although Sparkle is feeling much better after taking the medicine, I'm afraid it will take some time for Jasmine to return to the Gym to battle!"
Indeed, this disease comes like a mountain and goes away like a like that as well. This is the real world and not the version from the game. The one Ampharos has is obviously not an ordinary disease as even the Nurse Joy from Olivine City couldn't heal.
How can he get better immediately after taking medicine? It would be weird if he did tho.
After hanging up the phone, everyone gathered together and they all heard the content of the phone call.
"The Gym Battle in Olivine City has been postponed?" The aunt (Chucks wife) asked gently.
Ash nodded slightly.
"Then, you can go to the Whirl Islands!" Chuck suggested out of the blue.
Ash's eyes lit up after hearing this!
Whirl Islands, when he got the Silver Wing before, he made up his mind to go to the Whirl Islands when he had the time. At the deepest point there, he could use the Silver Wing to summon Lugia.
Of course, Ash had no expectations for this at this time.
Now that the Silver Wing has truly become a collection, and he sent it home, Ash almost forgot about it!
Whirl Islands is a group of small islands between Cianwood City and Olivine City! You just had to take the longer detour to reach there.
"Whirl Islands has many legends since ancient times, and I heard that there is a mysterious Pokémon living there!" Chuck introduced some things he knew about the Whirl Islands after seeing the way Ash lowered his head in thought.
"Mysterious Pokémon?" The little girl had the sharpest ears, "Big Brother, I want to go there, I want to go, I want to see that Mysterious Pokémon!"
Misty was also very interested in this, "Sounds very interesting to me!"
Of course it was interesting to her, it was a small archipelago and it was in the middls of the sea with lots of Water-type Pokémon's!
"Then it's decided, let's go to the Whirl Islands since we have nothing to do in the meantime!" Ash finally made his decision, it is also just in time for Lapras to enjoy the real sea!
The aunt was very considerate and even sent them a few ship tickets to the Whirl Islands, "My husband's belly has started to sag recently. Since he lost to you, he will definitely start his special training starting tomorrow!"
Now Ash and the others understood the reason behind why the aunt wanted Ash to defeat Chuck. It was because she wanted to urge him to lose weight. She just wanted the best for her husband.
Of course Chuck had to undergo special training for this, and this time he will work harder because how Ash crushed him hard.
"You're right, I need to do special training 24 hours a day!"
Hot-blooded youth!
After a comfortable night's rest, Ash and his party decided to travel by Lapras instead of waiting a few days by taking the regular boat on Whirl Islands. The ship they got the ticket for was sunk mysteriously and only did they find where.
The group didn't think about it anymore after learning from Officer Jenny that this ship was actually a secret vessel that a poacher organization used to get Pokémon on and off of the Whirl Islands.
"It seems like the trip that we took to the Orange Islands before!" Misty held Togepi and sat on Lapras' back, looking very nostalgic.
The original Lapras was also in its infancy, and its size was about the same as the current Lapras that had been carefully bred by the new Ash.
As a Trainer, Ash and his team were more willing to cross the sea in this way than taking a boat, so they unanimously approved of this instead of waiting for a new ship.
"Brother, look, it's a whirlpool!" Molly sat in the front and carefully hugged Lapras' neck. With Ash by her side, she was very safe.
"Whirlpool?" Ash and the other two became nervous after hearing this.
It really was a whirlpool, and its momentum is very alarming. If they get caught in it, they will be in danger!
"Lapras, be careful, don't get too close to it!" Ash said to Lapras.
Although Lapras is young and has not yet been trained for battles, after watching his older brothers and sisters fight so many times, he has long wanted to battle by his trainers side. He immediately nodded and swam further away the whirlpool area!
"No, we are going to be sucked in if it continues like this!" However even if they tried, Lapras was still affected by the whirlpool and was unable to move in the water.
On the contrary, Ash remained calm, "It's okay!"
"Control the water, Suicune!"
With the escort of a Water-type Legendary Pokémon, Ash can safely and boldly take his group across the sea on the young Lapras. After all, he is responsible for the group's safety.
Suicune would never let Ash down on something like this, and they quickly left the whirlpool area with Lapras and Suicune.
"Molly, were are you scared?" Ash took back Suicune and patted Molly's head gently.
Who would have thought that instead of being afraid, she smiled and said no. She also comforted the young Lapras, "Lapras, don't be afraid, you don't have to be afraid of anything when Big Brother is here!"
She is like Lapras' sister and has been taking very good care of him.
Seeing this, Ash felt relieved.
"Ash, look, that's a Corsola!"
It was indeed a Corsola. This little guy obviously had a trainer. Under Ash's leadership, the group came to a small boat and met an old acquaintance of them that they haven't seen in some time.
Professor Elm, the Head Professor of the Johto Region!
