"Wow, is this Larousse City? It's amazing!"
After leaving Fortree City, Gary, Ash, and the others took the tram for a while and finally arrived at their final destination, Larousse City.
May walked out of the station and looked at the prosperous city, the bustling crowds, and the advanced technological products around her, and she immediately exclaimed.
"Yes, it's awesome here!"
Ash and Max also looked at the environment of Larousse City with stars in their eyes, expressing their amazement.
"I always wanted to come to Larousse City, but unfortunately, I never had the chance. Now I can finally be here. It feels great!"
Max was also very excited at this time because visiting Larousse City was something he had always dreamed of.
Originally, he could have asked his father, Norman, to bring him here, but unfortunately, Norman, who was the Gym Leader of Petalburg Gym, rarely had time to accompany him, which was a regret for Max.
Now, Max finally came to Larousse City, fulfilling his dream.
"I want to try the food here!"
And May, true to her love for food, immediately began to look for traces of local cuisine as soon as she arrived in Larousse City.
Although Hilda didn't show it so obviously, her slightly raised corners of her mouth also revealed her mood at the moment.
Only Gary and Brock maintained a calm demeanor in the face of such excitement.
"Okay, let's go!"
Looking at May, Ash, and the others who were still admiring the surroundings, Gary reminded them.
"Okay!"
After May, Ash, and the others agreed, they followed Gary and walked out of the station.
Just after Gary and his friends walked out of the station, a huge Magikarp suddenly emerged from a river outside Larousse City.
And from the crown on top of the Magikarp, three figures crawled out. If Ash were here at this time, he would definitely recognize their identities.
That's right, they are Team Rocket, consisting of Jessie, James, and Meowth.
As for the huge Magikarp just now, it was the Magikarp submarine they made.
"Finally arrived in Larousse City, this time we must catch the twerp's Pikachu, Meowth!"
Meowth looked at Larousse City with its tall buildings not far away and made his vow.
"Catch Pikachu, get promoted to executives, and take office as branch heads!"
Jessie and James, who had not taken action at this time, were already lost in the fantasy of becoming branch heads.
Back to Gary and his friends, before they left the station in Larousse City, they saw a robot made of several blocks floating in front of them.
"What is this?"
This was the first time Ash saw this thing, so he turned to look at Gary.
"I think it should be a guidance robot or something like that."
Gary touched his chin and shared his guess.
And the operation of the robot next proved that Gary's guess was correct.
The robot that approached Gary and his friends spoke to them at this time.
"Welcome to Larousse, WELCOME!"
After saying that, the word "WELCOME" appeared on the screen made up of several blocks.
"What a cute robot!"
"What a cute way to welcome!"
May and Max, looking at the robot that greeted them, also shouted in surprise.
"It's worthy of being a high-tech city!"
Ash also looked at the robot in front of him with a shocked face.
"It's a pity that there is no big sister to greet us!"
This is also what Brock is thinking now.
"Come, smile!"
After a welcome, a lens was extended from one of the robot's blocks, and it was first aimed at May.
May was also startled for a moment, so she showed a horrified expression, and this scene was captured by the camera.
Because May was a "role model,"
Gary and the others were also prepared, and they cooperated with the robot very well to complete the task of taking photos.
After completing the task of taking photos, the robot also transmitted the information of Gary, Ash, and others to the central controller of Larousse City, confirming their identities.
After the central controller confirmed Gary and the others' identities, it also successfully issued the card with the photo just taken.
"What is this?"
Hilda looked at the card in her hand and asked the robot in front of her.
"This card is the pass to this city. Please remember to carry this card with you in this city. You can also use this card to buy things!"
With Hilda's inquiry, the robot immediately explained.
Gary and the others who got the pass to Larousse City were very satisfied. The only one who was dissatisfied was May.
"I really want to change it!"
Looking at the horrified picture of herself on the pass, May was speechless.
"It's too late, sister."
After hearing his sister's complaints, Max could only spread his hands and say.
"Okay!"
Because she was powerless to change it, May had to accept it.
"By the way, which direction is the Battle Tower?"
After walking out of the station, Ash didn't even bother to look at his feet and walked in one direction.
"Hey, be careful..."
Gary, who was following behind, saw Ash about to unconsciously walk onto a moving sidewalk. Before Gary finished shouting, Ash had already stepped on it.
"What's going on?"
Ash, who was walking onto the moving sidewalk, also reacted at this time. Seeing that he was being transported farther and farther by the moving sidewalk, Ash had to desperately run in the opposite direction of the moving sidewalk, that is, towards Gary's side.
"I told you a long time ago, be careful!"
Gary also spread his hands helplessly for Ash, who was more reckless.
"Ash!"
And May, as a companion, shouted worriedly at this time.
Unfortunately, no matter how Ash ran, he could only get farther and farther.
Ash's move also made a pair of twin girls who passed by Ash feel amused.
"You can't go against the flow!"
A little boy in a black T-shirt also smiled and looked at Ash who was running hard.
"Haste makes waste!"
The boy in a light blue uniform who followed the first boy also said with a smile.
Fortunately, with the help of the uniformed boy who sent out the Blaziken, Ash returned to Gary and the others.
"Ash, you have to watch the road when you walk in the future!"
Looking at Ash who was already out of breath, Gary chuckled.
"I know."
Knowing that his actions just now were wrong, Ash had to agree.
After teaching Ash a lesson, Gary looked at these familiar people.
"Thank you for your help, who are you?"
"My name is..."
