Chapter 148: 148. Dragonair and The Ceremony

Because of Ash's words, the group did eventually accompany Dratini on its journey to molt its skin.

When it was time for dinner, Dratini also stopped what he was doing, and everyone sat down to prepare for dinner. Due to the time constraints, Brock just made some simple meals, but the taste was still good.

"It's so delicious!" Clair bit into the jelly filled donut that Brock made just for her, then took a sip of the drink that Ash had just made, and looked at Ash, "Ash, I've heard everything about you. Lance promised to give you a Dratini. But whether you can really get it all depends on your ability."

Hearing this, Ash's eyes went up to her eyes, "Is there any kind of test that I have to do?"

Clair smiled and said, "If you just want to get a Dratini from here, Lance and I can give you the recommendation, but the condition is that you have to choose it yourself by going inside of the Dragon's Den!"

"The first Gym Leader of the Blackthorn City Gym built the Dragon's Den in the large cave behind the Gym for the Dragon-type Pokémon species to live here for generations! Lance and I got many of our Pokémon's from within Dragon's Den."

"Ash, do you know how difficult this is to follow?" Clair looked at Ash with a very serious expression, "Of course before being able to go inside there, you must first defeat me and get the Rising Badge of the Blackthorn City Gym!"

Misty's eyes lit up, "So, does Ash also have the same opportunity to enter Dragon's Den to practice the same way as Mr. Lance and you had?"

Clair smiled and nodded, "This is an special opportunity that Professor Oak and Lance himself have fought for you to be able to do. Ash, you must work hard and use that opportunity!"

The request for a Dratini was indeed not too much. The difficulty was that Ash wanted to choose it by himself, but Lance agreed to it and tried his best to fight for Ash's decision.

Ash remembered this favor and will do his best to return it in the future.

"Ash, how many Badges have you got now?" Kaburagi asked curiously from the side.

"Grandpa Kabu, look!" Molly opened Ash's backpack and dug out the Badge Collection Box that he always carried with him. Seven different Badges lay quietly inside, each one full of memories and all clean.

"You even got the Glacier Badge, Ash, have you really been to the Mahogany Town Gym?" Kaburagi asked seriously, looking at the seventh Badge in the slot, "I heard the news a while ago that a Red Gyarados was near Mahogany Town. There was some trouble about it in the news, what's going on there now?"

Kaburagi and Pryce definitely knew each other at a personal level, Ash wouldn't believe it if they didn't know each other.

"You don't need to worry about this matter." Brock replied with a smile, "That Gyarados has been tamed by Ash using his Heal Ball, and it has now fully recovered and is training well in Professor Oak's backyard!!"

Of course, Brock doesn't know that Ash's Shiny Gyarados has completely recovered, and has also completed his Bond Evolution with Ash, becoming a real red water dragon!

"I see, no wonder Lance looks at you so differently!" Clair also looked at Ash with admiration, "Now I really am looking forward to the battle that we are going to have!"

"Me too, let's have a battle to remember!" Ash said with a confident smile.

As if feeling the fighting spirit of both Ash and Clair, Dratini, who was resting in the water, began to slowly molt for the last time as a Dratini.

Just then, his whole body began releasing a dazzling light!

"This is?"

Everyone quickly gathered around to witness the moment of Dratini's evolution.

The body in the white light continued to grow until the snake-like body straightened up to more than two meters in height. The evolved Dragonair did not change much in appearance from a Dratini, however the size definitely did.

After evolving, his body length now reaches more than 4 meters, and its whole body is covered with sapphire blue scales. Now it also has a small white horn on its forehead. The original white fins on both sides of its head have evolved into a pair of small white wings. When they fly, these small wings will become much bigger to help them go faster.

The most eye-catching thing is of course the three crystal-like blue beads on its body, one under its neck and two at the end of its tail.

These three beads contain the power to control the weather around it. When its whole body is shrouded in aura, the surrounding weather will completely change. Therefore, Dragonair has been worshiped by people who farm as the one who controls the weather since ancient times.

"Dratini, congratulations, you have finally evolved into a Dragonair!" Clair was very happy to see her partner evolving into a stronger form. The little guy who she had taken good care of for so long finally grew up.

"So beautiful!" Molly leaned forward and gently stroked Dragonair's scales, "It's slippery, haha. It feels nice to the touch."

Dragonair suddenly used its tail to grab Molly onto his back, floated into the air, and rushed upstream again.

Clair quickly followed them, followed closely by Ash and his group!

Under the leadership of Dragonair, everyone came to a waterfall, on which a pair of stone pillars that looked like dragon teeth protruded.

It was dark now, but the bright moon hung high in the sky. Viewed from the front of the waterfall, it fell right between the pair of dragon teeth, giving the entire waterfall a mysterious and sacred atmosphere.

"Dragonair guided us here for a reason. Its destination has been here from the very beginning!" Ash murmured after seeing the sight.

Whether it was Dratini's molt seeking the protection of the waterfall, or Dragonair's other purpose after evolution, Ash looked at Clair and Kaburagi, "Is this the best place to hold a ceremony?"

Only after Ash said this did Clair and Kaburagi react. Kaburagi quickly took off the package and handed the giant Dragon Fang to Clair.

The moonlight was bright and clear, Clair arranged the altar in the water and placed the giant Dragon Fang on it.

"Dragon of heaven, dragon of earth, dragon of water, give peace to all dragons! Give smile to all dragons! Give happiness to all dragons!"

She picked up a handful of water and poured the water from the source onto the Dragon Fang.

Just then, a miracle happened.

The golden light suddenly began to appear on the Dragon Fang, and then the golden light became stronger and stronger. It actually rose from the Dragon Fang, forming a shining ball of light that flew towards the sky.

"ROAR!"

The sound of dragon roars came from the void, and the light ball turned into a giant dragon, hovering in the air, and then turned into stars and dissipated from their sight!

"Big Brother, the light really become a dragon!" Molly was so shocked that her voice changed.

Patting her head gently, "Yes, this is the magic of Pokémon! Traveling and being able to see these kind of things is really great, right, Molly!"

"Hmm, luckily I went on a trip with Big Brother! When I get back, I will tell dad all about it for a long time!" Molly's experience along the way is the most precious treasure to her.

"The Dragon of Light that turns into a star will protect all dragon Pokémon. This is the legend of our place!" Kaburagi explained happily to all of them.

Clair came out of the water and looked directly at Ash, "I, Clair, the Gym Leader of the Blackthorn City Gym, am putting my reputation as a Dragon-type Pokémon Trainer on the line, Ash Ketchum, I'm going to fight you with all my strength! You better give it your all?"

"This is exactly what I wish for!" Ash said back to her.

Back to the Whirl Islands with Maya.

"Ash, I need you." She said in a soft melodic voice.

Chapter 149: 149. First Round

I'm still not breaking my steak, not here or in Duolingo.

————————————————————

"Now lets began, the Official Gym Battle between Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Gym Leader Clair of the Blackthorn City Gum will be held here. A total of three Pokémon can be used in the match by each side! When all the Pokémon used lose their combat effectiveness from a single Trainer, the match will be over and the opponent will be declared as the winner!"

After resting for a night at the Blackthorn City Gym, Ash finally ushered in his last Gym Challenge in the Johto Region!

This last Gym that he has to face is a Gym where they use the powerful Dragon-type, which is perfect for him!

The battle arena at the Blackthorn City Gym is very interesting. It is in the shape of a zigzag, with a large pool in the middle. Apparently Clair's Pokémon also included many Water-type Pokémon, meaning that she is essentially a Water and Dragon-type Pokémon Traiber, and that is one if the types that Ash is most familiar with!

"Ash, go all out or else you will lose!" According to the Gym Challenge rules, the Gym Leader is the first one to send out their Pokémon, "Kingdra, go for it!"

This Kingdra is much stronger than the one Ash encountered in the Whirl Cup. Just the way it floats upright in the water is completely different, with a kind of arrogance unique to a Pokémon that has the Dragon-typing to it.

"Alright, blast them away, Blastoise!"

Ash was not polite and directly sent out the his Poké Ball. The sturdy Blastoise did not jump into the water. It has more possibilities as it is amphibious on land than on water compared to the fast and much more experienced Kingdra.

"Hey, when did Ash exchange his Blastoise from the lab?" Brock was surprised when seeing Blastoise again after some time.

"Just last night when he was talking with Grampa and then some other gir—Aunt Dalia!" Molly almost said something that she was not supposed to say.

"Oh!" Brock came back to his senses and tried to ask her about something but was instantly refused.

"Kingdra, be careful, that Blastoise is not normal at all!" Feeling the momentum that was leaking from Ash's Blastoise, Clair was also surprised by it, and then her fighting spirit burned again. This time she could fight happily!

'That is the same feeling I felt when I was fighting Lance's Gyarados! How strong is that thing?' Clair's mind was full of thoughts about her current opponent.

The battle between these two Triners was no longer just about the Gym Battle at all, it was about Clair comparing her skills against someone that even Lance said that he is not sure whether or not he could beat him!

"Kingdra's types make up for each other's weaknesses. The only true weaknesses of Kingdra are the Dragon and Fairy-types, and maybe Freeze Dry." Ash murmured softly, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Blastoise, let's begin our show with a Dragon Pulse!"

"Blastoise!"

Blastoise roared loudly, and the two metal cannons on his shoulder suddenly condensed with surging Dragon-type energy. This was a move he wad excited to try out!

It was a perfect opening attack. After firing, the two dragon cannons closed together and turned into a bigger and longer purple dragon, hitting Kingdra fiercely before he could even react to Clair's order!

Boom!

Kingdra was hit directly and was already injured as soon as the battle started!

"How is that possible?!" Clair was really shocked by this. She didn't expect that Ash would be able to reach his Blastoise his to learn a move like Dragon Pulse!

She doesn't know about Mega Evolution yet, let alone be able to understand Ash's Bond Evolution power!

Just then, Ash and Blastoise completed their Bind Evolution!

Blastoise began to glow with a royal blue aura surrounding his entire body. The two cannons on the back has now become a single giant metal cannon. There are also one smaller cannon on both of his arms. And in the middle back of his shell, there looked to be a strange wing design on it.

Clair was stunned to see what was going on that she couldn't even worry about her own Kingdra.

Name: Ash-Blastoise

Attribute: Water

Ability: Rain Dish (When it rains, the damage will be slowly recover.)

Mega Launcher (The power of Pulse and Aura moves will increase when this is there.)

Skills: Flash Cannon, Rapid Spin, Water Pulse, Hydro Pump, Skull Bash, Rain Dance, Dragon Pulse, Hydro Cannon, Aura Sphere…

After completing thier Bond Evolutions, Blastoise gained the Ability unique to Mega Blastoise, Mega Launcher.

The power of Pulse and Aura moves will increase significantly when using them, so Ash has his Blastoise learn Dragon Pulse to deal with pesky Dragon-types, and this really caught Claire off guard today!

Even though Blastoise does not have the Dragon-type, his Dragon-type moves are still very effective against even Kingdra!

"Ash, you are really powerful!" Clair assessed Kingdra's current situation, "Kingdra, use your strongest Twister!"

The Twister in the water set off a water hurricane, and the huge whirlpool came towards Blastoise with an astonishing momentum. This is an attack that combined with both the Water and Dragon-tile, and it can be regarded as a specialty skill of Clair's Kingdra!

However, neither Ash nor his Blastoise seemed fazed by it, Blastoise even took out his signature black glasses from somewhere and put it on to look even more coller, "Destroy it, Flash Cannon!"

Because of the two metal cannons on his arms and one large one on his back, Blastoise can learn many cannon-related skills.

Flash Cannon and Hydro Cannon are just two of them.

Flash Cannon is a powerful Steel-type move, while Hydro Cannon is an exclusive move that belongs to the Water-type Starters. It is a real special move. It took Ash a lot of effort to teach his Blastoise how to use it.

Even now, his Feraligatr has not been able to use it proficiently.

Of course, how to use such a move also depends on the Trainer's strategy and their command.

Blastoise roared and blasted out a cannon, and the Steel-type's blow a huge chunk of the whirlpool away!

"Kingdra, use Hydro Pump!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Blastoise had just launched his attack, Clair launched a counterattack just in time. Hydro Pump directly hit Blastoise, but that really did not do any damage to the absolute tank that was Blastoise.

"Skull Bash!"

Ash completely ignored Hydro Pump's minimal damage. With an order, Blastoise used his strong hind legs to support his body upright. With astonishing momentum, he pushed himself towards Kingdra at a speed not visible to the naked eye.

"Get out of the way!"

From now on, the two Pokémon were standing still and firing their skills. Now that Blastoise has moved, Kingdra must also move or else he will lose.

Kingdra moved very fast in the water, seemingly teleporting. He moved to the side and avoided Blastoise's Skull Bash just by a little!

Blastoise fell into the water and was right in front of Kingdra like a fish in water!

"Kingdra, get out of the way from the cannon!" Seeing this, Clair quickly screamed, but it was already too late!

Ahs clenched his fist and said, "Nice one, Dragon Pulse!"

This move was launched very quickly. As soon as Ash finished speaking, the powerful Twin Cannon had already hit Kingdra head-on with the two Dragon Pulse's!

"Kingdra! Are you okay?!"

After the smoke cleared up, it should be said that it was indeed worthy of being a Dragon-type Pokémon. Kingdra resisted this attack and was able to fight without losing his ability to fight!

Kingdra used his Agility at the last second to dodge from most of the damage but still got hit hard.

"Very well, Kingdra, use Agility to distance yourself again!"

Clair's Kingdra is obviously not good at melee combat. All of its offensive moves are either ranged attacks or auxiliary skills, so staying so close to Blastoise is obviously very disadvantageous for him!

"Don't even think about running away, give it the last one!" Ash clenched his fist tightly, confident of winning, "Waterfall!"

The giant turtle transformed into a waterfall, and then bit Kingdra's body with astonishing speed!

"Kingdra loses the ability to fight, Blastoise wins this round!"

Mr. Kaburagi, who served as the referee, announced Blastoise's victory. He turned to look at Clair, "Miss, Ash's Blastoise is really powerful. You must be more careful or things will only get worse from here on!"

Clair nodded, "Ash, you are really powerful, but at the risk of my dignity as a Dragon Pokémon Trainer, I will fight you with all my strength!"

"Come back, Kingdra! Uou did well." She took back the Kingdra, then threw another Poké Ball, "Go, Gyarados!"

"GAY!"

Looking at the roaring Gyarados, Ash also took his Blastoise back to rest.

"Bite them hard, Feraligatr!"
