Kapitel 14: Chapter 14: The Battle Against Ash
---
Just when Gary was talking with his grandfather, Professor Oak, about his experiences in the Sinnoh region, suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the house, and soon the door of the institute was pushed open.
"Ash, you are still as reckless as ever!"
Gary didn't need to look to know that the one who just violently pushed open the door of the institute was Ash, who loved Pokémon very much, but was very reckless and a hot-blooded idiot.
"I heard from Tracey that you came back from the Sinnoh region, so I came to see you."
After hearing Gary's words, Ash immediately stated his reasons.
"Forget it, since you are here to pay your respects to me, I won't mind."
Gary, who grew up with Ash, also knew his personality, so he didn't say anything more.
"Hey."
Ash knew that his behavior was impolite, so he just said "Hey" to evade the question.
Gary was helpless about this friend, so he didn't say anything more.
Then, Gary changed the subject.
"I heard from Grandpa that you are going to travel to the Hoenn region?"
"Yes, I want to visit Brendan's hometown and challenge the Hoenn League Conference."
When talking about the League Conference, Ash's eyes lit up and he became energetic.
Looking at Ash's enthusiastic expression, Gary shook his head helplessly.
"By the way, Gary, are you going to the Hoenn region too?"
After a burst of excitement, Ash did not forget the main purpose of looking for Gary.
That's right, this time Ash came to Gary, mainly to invite Gary to go to the Hoenn region to challenge the League Conference there.
"You mean the Ever Grande Conference in the Hoenn region,"
Hearing this, Gary touched his chin and said, "I had this plan!"
"That's great!"
After hearing that his rival was also going to the Hoenn region, Ash was very excited.
"Then let's go to the Hoenn region together tomorrow!"
After saying that, Ash looked at Gary who was sitting on the sofa and made an invitation.
"Forget it, I just came back from the Sinnoh region, and I still need to rest for a few days."
When he thought about going to the Hoenn region tomorrow, Gary decisively refused.
He didn't have the stamina of a super rookie like Ash, and he couldn't bear the fatigue brought by long-term travel.
"You should go by yourself, I need to rest for a while."
"Okay."
After seeing Gary's refusal, Ash immediately lost his spirit and looked listless.
"But after you go to the Hoenn region, do you mind having a Pokémon battle?"
Gary looked at Ash who was a little disappointed, so he invited him to a Pokémon battle.
"Pokémon battle? Of course."
Ash never refused Pokémon battles.
"But Gary, why did you ask me to battle?"
Ash was very curious about Gary's asking him to battle, and at the same time he had a guess: "Could it be because you lost to me in the Silver Conference and you are not convinced?"
"You were just lucky."
Gary was a little indignant that Ash always used the strength of the Silver Conference to provoke him.
"You are still not convinced!"
Ash looked at Gary's unyielding expression and then confirmed his thoughts.
"Are you coming?"
Gary was not in the mood to listen to Ash's teasing, and was ready to teach Ash a lesson.
"Come! Why not!"
Just like that, the battle between Gary and Ash started with a few words.
"Then I will be the referee!"
Tracey, who appeared with Ash, stood up and served as the referee.
"That's troublesome."
Just like that, Gary and his group came to the backyard, found a wide place, and started the duel.
"Now it's a battle between Gary and Ash. Both sides can use three Pokémon. When all three Pokémon of one side lose their combat ability, the battle ends."
According to the battle rules agreed in advance, the referee Tracey announced to the two.
"Then the first battle is decided to be you, Pikachu!"
Ash did not exceed Gary's guess and sent out his own Pikachu first.
Pikachu immediately jumped off his shoulder and came to the open space at Ash's call.
Pokémon: Pikachu
Type: Electric
Ability: Static
Gender: Male
Level: 63
Moves: Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, Quick Attack, Double Team, Agility, Volt Tackle, Discharge, Thunder, Electro Ball...
"Good fellow, the qualification is unpredictable, worthy of being called Pikachu."
Gary also showed a surprised expression when the system could not measure the true qualification of Pikachu.
"Then it's you on my side, Metagross, for your debut match!"
But now it's still a battle, so Gary quickly took back this surprise, and then took out his Poké Ball and released the Shiny Metagross that he had just captured not long ago.
After Gary's Shiny Metagross appeared, everyone present showed a stunned expression.
"This is... Shiny Metagross!"
At this time, whether it was Professor Oak or Tracey, the reaction at this moment was the same.
"Gary, this guy, has kept it a secret from Grandpa."
Professor Oak was a little upset that Gary had not mentioned to him about taming Shiny Metagross before.
But there is always an exception, and that person is Ash. After all, he doesn't know about Metagross at all.
"What's wrong with them?"
Ash was very surprised by the reaction of Professor Oak and the others.
"Also, what kind of Pokémon is this? Why is there no reaction in the Pokédex?"
Ash looked at the Pokédex showing unknown Pokémon with a puzzled expression.
"That's because your Pokédex only has information on Pokémon from the Kanto and Johto regions, and Metagross is a Pokémon from the Hoenn region, so it can't be displayed at all."
Gary was speechless about Ash, who was somewhat illiterate, so he patted his forehead and explained helplessly.
"So that's how it is!"
After hearing Gary's explanation, Ash suddenly realized it.
"It seems that Ash's knowledge still needs to be improved!"
Even Tracey felt helpless about Ash's knowledge reserve.
"Pikachu!"
And Pikachu, who had to deal with such a trainer, could only spread his hands and shouted helplessly.
"Okay, let's continue the battle!"
Seeing that the topic was getting further and further away, Gary still pulled it back on track.
"Then let's go first, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"
After the game started, Ash took the lead in attacking.
I saw a golden electric current rising into the air and heading straight for Gary's Shiny Metagross.
"Metagross, Meteor Mash!"
And Shiny Metagross also used Meteor Mash under Gary's command, and swung the fist wrapped with white power at the incoming Thunderbolt.
Shiny Metagross relied on its own strength to split the incoming Thunderbolt in the middle.
"So awesome!"
When Ash saw the side of Shiny Metagross that split Thunderbolt, he was also surprised.
"Metagross, Iron Defense!"
Compared to Ash's surprise, Gary also started to command his side.
