Chapter 263: 263. Marshtomp

After descending the mountain, Ash and his team soon arrived at their destination, Mauville City.

This is where Ash could finally face the another one of his Gym battles again.

After getting his previous Gym Badge against Brawly at Dewford Island, their group stayed on Dewford Island for a prolonged period of time, and then they went to Slateport City to participate in their first Pokémon Contest.

Because of all the recent events that has happened, Ash had already begun to miss his easy Gym Battles.

"Ash, come on! You can do it!" Standing in front of the Mauville Gym, May cheered for her boyfriend. She heavily believed that Ash's strength woudl more than earn him his third Gym Badge.

"Big Bro is the strongest, and this is also an Electric-type Gym, and he is an expert in dealing with them." Max talked like he knew Ash more than Ash knew about himself. He was obviously acting like Ash's most loyal fan.

Ash smiled at the encouragement from his girlfriend and stepped forward and knocked gently on the door of the Gym door. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly fell to the ground. They couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "I controlled my powers very well, that absolutely should not have happened… "

As the group walked in and stood on the fallen door to see if they can see anything else. Suddenly, two handrails rose from the door, and the door began to move inward at a very fast speed like a roller coaster!

"What's going on with this Gym?" Max was very happy to be able ride a roller coaster again so soon. "This feels like that amusement park ride we went to!"

They were just having fun riding the door that they almost forgot this was an actual Pokémon Gym.

May was not afraid of things like this anymore. Although the safety facilities were not like a real roller coaster, she had Ash by her side and she knew that he will definitely make sure that he save her.

Ralts and Pikachu seemed to be the ones that were enjoying themselves the most.

Seeing how happy they were having fun, a white-bearded old man in the control room laughed heartily, "This is the reason I build things, just look how much they a re having, hahahaha..."

"Boss, has the power of the machine been improved?" His assistant Watt asked worriedly from the side, but seeing Ash and his group looking very happy on the screen, he felt relieved that his boss wasn't doing too much.

"This is my own welcome to the challengers. Since they came to challenge me, why not make it a fun to begin with. But this time the challengers look like they are preparer, hahaha…" Seeing that Ash and his group not panicking by their situation at all, but were instead laughing, the old man was full of enthusiasm. He was looking forward to the next welcome, he said, "It's almost that time!"

Just after a machine door stopped in front of a door, a Raikou suddenly appeared in front of Ash and his party.

"It's a Raikou!" Max recognized Raikou in an instant. That's right, since he learned that Ash had Legendary Pokémon's in his team. He only knew that Ash had a Suicune, Latias, Celebi, and a Latios in his team.

{Ash's current Legendary Pokémon's includes a Suicune, Raikou, Latias, Latios, Celebi, Entei, Zapdos, before. }

This made Max want to know more about all the previous Pokémon's he had never seen or heard about.

This naturally includes Raikou, a member of the Legendary Beast Trio that Ash's Suicune belongs to.

But even before he needed to use his Aura powerd eyes on it to check, he knew that this was not a real Raikou at all, especially since he owned one and knew what they felt like, "That is a mechanical Raikou, it's actually made very well."

"A Mechanical Raikou?" Max took a closer look at the "Raikou" in front of him and saw some differences with the pictures he saw on the internet. "Yeah, you're right, this is a machine!"

Since it was a mechanical Raikou inside of an Electric-type Gym, there's was no need to be afraid since they could connect the dots left behind.

Maybe this is the Gym Leaders way of welcoming a new challenger, who knows.

Unexpectedly, the robot Raikou roared, and a strong electric current shot up from its body and was ready to hit the group. Pikachu was very alert so he was quickly able to absorb the extra electricity and also hit back the Raikou with a Thunderbolt. This however caused the Raikou to exploded into bits.

Now, the attack power of Ash's Pikachu wasn't really something that any Pokémon can handle casually. They have to be atleast the cream of the crop to withstand a full power strike from him.

Most times Ash has his Pikachu comtrol his powers against weaker opponents to make sure that he really doesn't accidentally kill them.

Finally, one of the side door opened, and the white-bearded man came out with a smile, "Haahah! I'm so happy... I didn't expect that my Electri Raikou Robot No. 2 I built would be so easily destroyed by you! Hahahaha!"

From the looks of it, he obviously wasn't worried about all the money that had just been lost.

"Everyone, welcome to the Mauville City Gym!" Watt said with a smiled, "This guy here is Wattson, the Gym Leader of the Mauville City Gym. And I am his assistant, you can call me Watt!"

Ash and his team also introduced themselves, and the Gym Battle soon began after that.

"I'm going to use a Voltorb, Magnemite and Magneton to fight you. I've been with these guys for a long time!" Before the battle began, Wattson actually introduced all three Pokémon he was going to use to fight against Ash.

Ash nodded by seeing this. This old man really liked to play with Trainers and machinery. So it wasn't a surprise to him that he was very compatible with the Magnemite family and that Voltorb too.

"Then I will use these three Pokémon to fight!" Ash also threw three out three of his own Poké Balls.

They were his Aron, Mudkip and Flygon!

Flygon was there to make sure something crazy just randomly happened in the middle of their battle, he was Ash's safety plan.

Pikachu looked very eager to battle. After all, he was an Electric-type Pokémon. He had already completed the feat of defeating two very powerful Legendary Electric-type Pokémons like Raikou and Zapdos with his own lightning!

Ash gently patted its back gently, "Pikachu, give them a chance to show off. Any you know that you are too powerful for them."

Ralts climbed on top of Ash's head and waved her hands vigorously, as if cheering for the three Pokémon!

"What? Why Mudkip?" May exclaimed when she saw Ash release his Mudkip. She was g the brightest in the head but knew that Mudkip was a Water-type, and wasn't a Water-type Pokémon's weakness the Electric-type?

"Hahaha..." Wattson laughed heartily by seeing Ash too do this, "I haven't met a young man as energetic as you for a long time! Then I'm going to start, first with you, Magnemite!"

Wattson's sent out Magnemite to be his first Pokémon in this battle.

Ash nodded, "Mudkip, stand by for battle!"

Magnemite vs. Mudkip for the first round, Ash is at a huge disadvantage when it comes down to typing, which makes this an even better battle.

"Magnemite, use your Swift attack!" However, Wattson didn't show any signs of letting go by seeing a Water-type Pokémon, and launched the attack without a second thought.

This Swift not only activates extremely quickly, but also has an extremely high hit rate.

However, Ash and Mudkip did not retreat but advanced as this wasn't an Electric-type attack, "Use Mud Shot!"

Mudkip threw a few pieces of mud and that was able it block Magnemite's Swift.

"Mud Bomb!"

The mud thrown by these two skills were different. The mud thrown by Mud Bomb was bigger, harder, more painful when it hits the body, which made this more powerful. The other difference is that Mud Shot is a wide area attack while Mud Bomb is a singular range attack.

"Magnemite, get out of the way!"

The timing of Waytson's order was a bit too late. Magnemite failed to avoid it and was hit by a hard piece of mud, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

This Ground-type skill was very effective against the Steel-type and Electric-type Magnemite!

"Magnemite, use Discharge!" Seeing this, Wattson launched his Electric-type attack decisively, and the electric current hit Water-type Mudkip, which was also super effective!

However, at this moment, Mudkip's body emitted the familiar dazzling light of evolution!

"It's evolving?" May murmured. After Grovyle, this was another Pokémon of Asb that has completed their evolution in a Gyo Battle!

The evolved Marshtomp was much lighter in color than Mudkip. It can now stand on its two legs and walk upright, but its eyes have become a little more dull.

Marshtomp: 180/190

Marshtomp has the new Ground-type along with the previous Water-type, so Magnemite's Discharge will have no effect at all if it hits him.

"I knew it!" Brock reacted, "Ash was just waiting for this moment so he sent out his Mudkip... No, Marshtomp!"

"Does Ash know when a Pokémon might evolves?" May said in admiration for Ash.

The battle still continued like before, and with the completion of his evolution, the battle situation has undergone a real earth-shaking changes.

Ash smiled and gave the order, "Marshtomp, use Mud Bomb again!"

The power of this Mud Bomb was greatly increased by the evolution and the new Ground-type, so the hard mud hit Magnemite even harder.

Marshtomp's dull eyes didn't show any ferocity, but when he moved his hands, he was really merciless.

"Magnemite loses the ability to fight, so Marshtomp wins this battle!"


Chapter 264: 264. Dynamo Badge

Ash's Mudkip had now evolved into a Marshtomp, which also means that two of his three Hoenn Region Royal Starters had completed their first stage of evolution.

But his current Torchic was still young and has not been trained under him for a some time now because of the whole Jirachi fiasco. So, Ash believes that there is still some time before he is ready to evolve into a Combusken.

As Brock sometime say, "Haste makes waste," this is the regency kind of example for it. Now that his little chicken and little dog is receiving training from his Typhlosion and Houndoom while they are receiving training from his Entei under his order, and he had heard from Slowking that he was making very rapid progress.

"Haha... It was a fun battle, don't you think. Ash, looks like you trained your Marshtomp very well!" Wattson took back his defeated Magnamite, which was very injured by Marshtomp more powerful Mud Bomb and lost its ability to fight.

"Voltorb, let's go and use Screech!"

His three Pokémon had already been showed prior to this battle, and now his Votorb rolled onto the battle field in an instant after hearing his commands, making a piercing sound.

Ash figured that Wattson would send out his Voltorb and leave his Magneton to be his ace in this battle, so he wasn't worried about this, "Marshtomp, use Mud Bomb again!"

Since he had just evolved, Ash was going to use him and his Mud Bomb to the end to see how strong he is and what changes he needed to do for his training routine.

Adding to add to all this, this is also an Electric-type Gym, so of course it would be better for him to use a Ground-type Pokémon like him who also knew few of its attacks.

"Voltorb, avoid that!" This was one of few times where Wattson had to be go so passively against a challenger. Maybe he hadn't been able to adapt to the Ground-type that Marshtomp suddenly possesses with his weaker Pokémon's. If Wattson hadn't been this overconfident, he could have used his stronger Pokémon's to fight against Ash's team.

He knew he would lose this battle the moment he played his eyes on that strong and buff looking Flygon.

——————————

Voltorb was successfully able to avoid the mud attacks and headed towards Marshtomp with its high speed, now glowing with white light.

Ash frowned and gave out an order, "Marshtomp, get out of the way!"

However, it was already too late for the much slower Pokémon to dodge such a close range attack. The Voltorb actually activated his Self Destruct attack, dragging Marshtomp down with himself.

May and Max were already stunned because of the sudden explosion.

When the smoke cleared, Ash's Marshtomp and Wattson's Voltorb were both charred and incapable of moving, lying in the middle of the battle field while smoke was rising from them.

"Marshtomp and Voltorb have lost their ability to fight, it's a draw!" Watt held up his referee flag and announced the result of the battle with a stoic tone.

Now Wattson only had his last Pokémon left, while only Ash's newly evolved Marshtomp had lost its combat ability.

There was still his Flygon there to make sure that things don't go south.

"Hahaha... Voltorb, you did really good!" Although he was still had the major disadvantage, Wattson still laughed heartily without having any difficulty, "The next one is our the final battle!"

It was his Magneton, this is obviously Wattson's Trump Card for this battle.

"It's up to you, Aron!" Ash had now sent out his Aron and letting his Flygon sit next to him and get head pats from him and Ralts. He knew he wouldn't have a chance to battle and show of to his new Trainer.

"Very good, then Magneton, let them see some of our real electric skill, use Zap Cannon!" His Aron didn't have the same Ground-type that his Marshtomp had, so Wattson can finally use his beloved Electric-type attacks.

He looked very excited about this.

Hearing this, Ash couldn't help but also laugh a little. When it came to the real electric trick, Ash would have to say that no one in this world knew how to maximize their power better than him.

He could destroy a whole city with a single full power Gigavolt Havoc. Not to mention the stronger Castatropika, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt of his Pikachu.

"Mud Slap!" In this battle, Ash really wanted to use these mud attacks to the very end. This Mud Slap skill was exactly the Ground-type skill that Aron can learn in its early stages.

Even though the power was much weaker than the Mud Bomb from his Marshtomp, it was still more effective against Magneton than most fo other attacks.

Moreover, the weak attack had an advantage to it. Compared with Mud Shot or Mud Bomb, it can be used at a much faster style! Mud Slap was realesed, and this directly blinded Magneton's three eyes, so its Zap Cannon also missed.

As Ash knew that if an attack wasn't 100% accurate, then it's a 50% accurate. And not to mention Zap Cannon, which had an extremely low hit chance.

"That's amazing!" Max was eye-opened again. He didn't expect that this battle would develop to this extent, as Aron's performance was really good compared to the last time he saw him.

However, Brock said, "No, the real power was Aron's trust in Ash's command. He was able to face that Zap Cannon because he believed in Ash, he was able to release his own attack without any dodge because of the last second movement or the left. Although it does help that he had gotten stronger and Zap Cannon isn't the most reliable move. That is the real amazing part!"

"Wow!" May realized this after Brock had explained, and then she realized what Ash's real power was. As for her and Torchic, let alone being able to do this, it would be nice if Torchic didn't run around all afraid of the bright attack.

"Rock Tomb!" Ash's order was becoming increasingly difficult to dodge for Magneton.

He ordered his Aron to use the Rock-type Rock Tomb on the Steel-type Magneton, which were not effective against it. Ash wasn't looking to damage it, but to make it move less.

Seeing rocks falling continuously on the field, Wattson also quickly issued an order, "Magneton, use Flash Cannon!"

Magneton used his Steel-type Special Attack and blasted straight at Aron. In terms of level, Magneton was of a much higher level, and his stats were even more amazing compared to the smaller Aron.

Countless rocks fell in front of Aron, forming a rock wall that offset most of Flash Cannon's power before hitting it.

In addition, there were many rocks falling around Magneton. Wattson suddenly secretly said, "Not good!"

Aron hit the ground sk heavily that he made a small crater on the battlefield.

"Iron Head!"

Ash's order was issued at the same moment, and Aron suddenly opened his eyes with a little something else.

His high-strength armor shone with metallic light, and it rushed toward Magneton on its short legs, in a speed that shouldn't be possible for his weight.

"I understand it now, Ash used all of those Rock Tombs to restrict Magneton's movements and launch a more powerful blow from where it couldn't see!" Brock understands it now.

That's right, since Aron's level was not as high as Magneton's right now, he can only battel it with more tactics than power!

Aron slammed into Magneton's body and immediately knocked him away.

In addition to all of this and who knows how much Mud Slaps, Magneton could no longer fight.

"Magneton loses the ability to fight, and Aron wins! Therefore, the winner is the challenger Ash Ketchum!" Watt announced the result of the battle, and then looked at Ash, thinking that this young man was very talented and strong.

However, at this time, Ash was no longer interested in his battle against the Gym Leader as his Aron was suddenly glowing when he fell on the ground.

In the white light, the small and exquisite form of Aron grew crazily, and there were sounds of metal clashing and expanding!

"Roar!"

Lairon was short in stature and walked on four legs like Aron, but its body was known to be extremely strong and durable. Coupled with the sheet-like steel armor on its back, it gives him the look of a professional predator.

Max looked at May next to him, "Sis, Big Bros Lairon is so big!"

"Yeah, Lairon is much bigger than Aron!" May still didn't understand what Max meant.

Max quickly explained, "No, a normal Lairon is about 0.9 meters tall and weighs 120 kilograms, but Big Bros Lairon is already over one meter tall, not to mention must be much more heavy. Big Brother said that his ability was Heavy Metal, which doubles its weight. In addition, he had been feeding it with high-strength steel ores for a long time. Just look at that armor on its body, it is definitely much more thicker than that of ordinary a Lairon, and its weight should reach 300 kilograms!"

300kg!

What order of magnitude is this? It is already higher than most Pokémon. An ordinary Aggron only weighed about 360 kilograms!

When it evolves into his final Aggron, what a terrifying iron beast it will be!

May was also shocked by this figure after hearing Max talk. 300 kilograms, that's a lot of weight, right?

"Haha, Ash, you are strong, stand proud. I am convinced that I lost, hahahaha!" Wattson was not at all frustrated at losing to Ash as this was part of his job, "This is the Dynamo Badge you deserve, hahahaha!"
