Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Bugsy's First PokéMon
Three hours later, the dark clouds dispersed, the heavy rain stopped completely, and the sun shone on the ground again.
The three people in the police station also got up from the office and left, heading for the Azalea Gym.
"The battle rules are 3v3. The two sides are Ash from Kanto Region Pallet Town and Bugsy, the gym owner of Azalea Gym in Azalea Town. If all three Pokémon of either side lose their combat ability, they will be considered defeated, and the gym trainer will release the Pokémon first!"
"The challenger can change Pokémon in the middle of the battle, but the gym trainer cannot!"
On the battle field in the backyard of the Azalea Gym, Officer Jenny, in uniform, held a small flag and announced the battle rules in a serious manner.
Ash and the gym owner Bugsy were stationed in the command areas on both sides of the battle field.
To be honest, among the many gyms that Ash challenged, the battle field and facilities of the Azalea Gym were relatively poor, not much better than many private gyms.
Could it be that Bug Type Pokémon Trainers are generally poor? Even Bugsy, a gym trainer, is no exception.
After all, it is well known that the young bug catchers are poor, unless they have an extraordinary love for Attribute Pokémon.
Anyone with good family resources and money in hand would not specialize in Bug Type Pokémon.
After all, although Bug Type Pokémon are easy to cultivate, evolve quickly and have decent combat power, they have extremely fatal flaws.
That is, the proportion of high-quality Bug Type Pokémon emerging from a large number is really low, and most Bug Type Pokémon do not have a long lifespan.
Many Trainers have finally cultivated their Pokémon to a higher combat power level, but soon face the embarrassing situation of their end of life.
Over time, few people specialize in Bug Type Pokémon, and there are few top Trainers specializing in Bug Type.
Most bug catchers only use Bug Type Pokémon that can be cultivated quickly as a transition in the early stage, and when the conditions are slightly better, they will specialize in other Attributes.
"Well, since not many people challenge the Azalea Gym, the gym subsidy issued by the Alliance is not generous, and most of the gym subsidy issued by the Alliance is used by me to hire people to find high-quality Bug Type Pokémon, so there is not much money to repair the gym, so it is a bit simple, I hope Ash doesn't mind."
Bugsy, who was about to release Pokémon, blushed when he saw Ash's gaze, and Ash explained.
In fact, not only Ash, but also many Trainers who came to challenge before were a little surprised after seeing the facilities of the Azalea Gym.
Some people even doubted the authenticity of the Azalea Gym.
After all, the wild gyms outside that are a little more upscale look much more upscale than the Azalea Gym in front of them! But who makes the probability of high-quality Pokémon individuals appearing in the Bug Type Pokémon population too low? If Bugsy relies on himself, it is difficult to capture enough Pokémon that can be cultivated into the main force or the second team.
He can only spend money to ask someone to find them.
As a result, most of the gym funds issued by the Alliance were spent by him throughout the year.
As a result, the budget for gym construction and infrastructure construction was naturally reduced, which was also a helpless move.
Of course, although it was broken, it did not affect the fact that the Azalea gym was an officially recognized Pokémon gym. The Hive Badge obtained by defeating the Azalea gym could also be used to certify the qualification for the Johto Region Region Silver Conference.
Facing Bugsy's explanation, Ash nodded, indicating that he already knew, and then urged Bugsy to release his Pokémon.
Anyway, get the badge first!
"Come out, Yin Xia!"
With the flashing red light, a Bug Type Pokémon Pinsir, which Ash was very familiar with, appeared in the battle field.
[Pokémon: Pinsir, Level: Iv.32]
Looking at Pinsir with a pair of huge horns in the battle field, Ash's eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes were quite unexpected.
In the original plot, Bugsy used Spinarak, Metapod and Scyther.
Besides Scyther, the levels of the other Pokémon were not high, and Ash's recently captured Cyndaquil was not difficult to deal with.
Unexpectedly, Spinarak had been replaced by Pinsir of level iv.32.
Perhaps it was because he had seen Ash's powerful Pokémon lineup, Milotic, Dragonair, Dragonite, etc., at the Rain Dance in the police station before, and knew that his strength was far from being comparable to those ordinary Trainers who had challenged the gym before, so he used other main Pokémon.
Ash's thoughts flashed, and he soon guessed the truth.
He breathed a sigh of relief. In the case that he could only use Pokémon captured in the Johto Region, facing Bugsy who might be at full power, this gym challenge was a little difficult.
However, this was what he wanted to see.
After releasing Pinsir, Bugsy stared at Ash standing on the opposite command platform with burning eyes, looking forward to what kind of Pokémon Ash would release.
In fact, if he hadn't seen Ash's amazing momentum in the backyard of the police station, he would not have been able to send out an amazing Pokémon lineup that a trainer who has traveled for several years could have sent out.
Facing ordinary gym challengers, he would only send out Spinarak, which he had just captured not long ago.
After all, as an official gym leader of the Alliance, in addition to protecting the town and fighting criminals, one of the most important tasks he undertakes is to coach the challenger (who has paid) when he challenges the gym.
Of course, he cannot use Pokémon that is too much higher in level than the challenger, and most of the time, the Pokémon he uses must be lower than the challenger.
Even so, "with his rich command of Pokémon in battle, few Trainers can defeat him."
Most Trainers who get Hive Badges are those who have performed well in battle command, or those who have made significant progress in the second challenge after failing the first challenge.
In general, Bugsy has always been positive about the distribution of Hive Badges.
Of course, Ash is definitely not an ordinary challenger who needs him to give him a gym badge.
What he is looking forward to now is what kind of Pokémon Ash will choose to send to deal with Pinsir he sent out?
