"May, what Pokémon did you get from Professor Birch?" Norman asked with concern. Receiving their Starter Pokémon is of great significance to a Trainers development no matter what position they are in.
"Yeah, May, what Pokémon did you chose?" Max was also very curious and envied that his sister was finally old enough to get a Pokémon and become a real Trainer.
After coming all the way here, the Bond Value between May and Torchic has gradually increased. She took out her Poké Ball and said, "Come out, Torchic!"
"Ah... you got is Torchic. I think Treecko is much cooler than Torchic!" Max just lay down in front of Torchic, saying something bad about it.
These words almost made Ash want to cover his face, he really deserves a good lesson, he is really so shameless!
Sure enough, after hearing this, Torchic couldn't bear it inside of him. He immediately pecked him until Max began to beg for mercy, and he even jumped on him and stepped on his face hard.
Even May's parents ignored him and instead invited Ash, "Ash, do you want to have lunch with us?"
Food is a must for him, Ash quickly agreed to them, "Okay, thank you, Auntie!"
The food prepared by Caroline was very delicious, it felt like he was still at his home. "Ash, are you traveling out all the time?"
"Yes, I have already been to many places, and now I just began my journey into the vast Hoenn Region!" Ash replied while holding a sandwich in has hand.
"It must be amazing to travel to so many place at such a young age!" Caroline could see that Ash was very reliable form the aura he was radiating off of him, and in such a short journey, May had already learned a lot from of the basics from him. She really hoped that Ash and May could travel together and build up a bond.
If this is the case, she and her husband can be rest assured knowing that they put their daughter with someone trust worthy.
Ash smiled and said, "I have always traveled with my friends before, and I also have Pikachu and my other Pokémon's that accompany me all the time!"
"That must be fun. I'm so envious that you can travel with yours friends while I can't even go out!" Max always murmured something to himself when Ash was talking, and now he was even trying to get closer to Ash's Poké Balls.
Ash glanced at him and said, "How can I help you?"
No one in the family paid attention to Max's shenanigans. May looked at her dad and said, "Dad, Ash is here to challenge the Gym, but he has only just arrived in the Hoenn Region."
Hearing this, Norman asked Ash, "Ash, the rules of the Petalburg City Gym are three versus three. Since you are the Champion of the Silver Conference, how about teleporting the previous Pokémon?"
Ash was almost full and nodded, "I have the same idea, but Mr. Norman, I hope that after I capture new Pokémon in Hoenn, I can come back here to challenge you again to test my training limits!"
"Okay, I'm always here for a good challenge from you!" Norman agreed without any hesitation.
Ash now has his Pikachu and Dratini by his side, so he went to the Pokémon Center to teleport his Tyrouge and his Phanpy to him.
Originally, when Ash set out for Hoenn, he had thought about taking them with him.
But after all, since they had to take a long boat ride, and there is no chance for them to train on the boat. It is better to leave them in the backyard of the Laboratory and let his Annihilape, Rhyperior and Tyranitar train them for their upcoming evolution, more so Phanpy than Tyrouge because he still hasn't decided to evolve yet.
"Wow, big bro, you have a lot of Pokémon!" When Ash hung up the phone and turned around with his two newly added Poké Balls in his hands, he saw Max's envious eyes.
"Who is your big brother? I'm not your big brother!" Ash didn't even have the patience to pay attention to him anymore.
He returned to the Gum and got ready to challenge Norman immediately.
"Okay then Ash, let's start our battle, this is my first Pokémon!" According to the rules of the Gym Challenge, Norman has to go first, "Come out, Slakoth!"
Slakoth can be said to be one of the more famous Normal-type Pokémon's in the Hoenn Region. Its final evolved form, Slaking, has a Species Strength that surpasses that of many mythical beast, although it is only in game and does not reflect into this real world, it is still a very powerful Pokémon among the regulars. However, due to its atrocious ability, it has to wait a turn every time it hits, making it very hard to use compared to other better options.
And it just happens that Norman's Trump Card is also a Slaking, which is enough to prove his power!
The Slakoth in front of him didn't look like he had the will to fight, and his eyes were very sleepy, but Ash didn't dare to underestimate him.
"Stand by for battle, Phanpy!" Ash didn't plan to let Pikachu battle this much weaker Slakoth, so the first Pokémon he sent out was his young Phanpy!
"Wow, it's so cute!" May and Caroline were immediately fascinated by Phanpy's cute appearance.
"Let's roll, Rollout!" As soon as he entered the battel, Ash became more serious. Phanpy is now receiving some basic training from his Tyranitar and his newly evolved Rhyperior these past few days, and because of this, his Rollout attack is getting more sharper!
Norman frowned when he saw Ash using this trick.
But he didn't give the order and let his Slakoth sway his body to avoid Phanpy's Rollout. The longer the Rollout attack lasts, the more powerful it becomes and he didn't want that to happen.
"Slakoth, use the Shadow Ball!"
So he then launched an attack and hit Phanpy to disrupt its Rollout form increasing its power too much. In order to make up for the lack of speed, both the timing and angle of the attack had to be very precise, which shows Norman's training ability. Training such a lazy Pokémon into this obviously takes a lot of effort from its Trainer.
"Move out of the way!"
Ash gave a slight grin to it. Phanpy's Rollout was trained under Rhyperior's large Rock Throws. It can now avoid boulders falling from the sky when he is in the middle of his Rollout. How can such a slow Shadow Ball hit him?
"Big brother and his Phanpy are so cool, he just avoided that Shadow Ball from dads Slakoth like it was nothing!" Max said in deep admiration when he saw Ash still looking like he was at such ease when facing the person he admired the most.
"Max, why do you call Ash your big brother?" May beside him asked confused as they haven't even known each other for more than a couple hours.
"I decided to call him my big brother because he is strong. From now on, he will be my goal to surpass and then dad!"
After hearing Max's words, Caroline smiled happily.
Rollout was constantly being avoided by the Slakoth using his strange moving ability, but he is always able to maintain it, even if by barley, even though Phanpy was getting faster and faster, and more and more powerful.
"Mr. Norman, this Slakoth of your is very well-trained and uses its own characteristics to full power."
It can work so many times because of its reaction speed, but how many times can it be avoided with the increasing speed?
As Asg said, Norman had to change his tactics, "Slakoth, use Hidden Power!"
Several white energy light balls circled towards Phanpy. It was indeed difficult to avoid, but there was no need to avoid it when you could just take it!
Rollout, which has accumulated a large amount of power, attacked directly towards Norman's Slakoth. After activating such a skill, it was absolutely impossible for Slakoth to make any of his evasive actions. Now his his speed and reaction speed was in its weakest point!
"Go ahead, Phanpy!"
Ash has full confidence in his Phanpy!
Now it's a head-to-head encounter. He wanted to see whether or not his Phanpy's Rollout would be defeated by the Hidden Power first, or whether or not Slakoth is knocked down by Phanpy's Rollout!
Boom!
Hidden Power exploded on Phanpy, but it failed to ultimately stop Rollout. It rushed out of the smoke and hit the Slakoth hard!
Suddenly the Slakoth fell to the ground and lost his ability to fight!
————————————————————
Leave me a good review, thanks.
This is the extra chapter I promised because we hit our goal of 300 Power Stones.
But can we get to 450 Power Stones?
————————————————————
"How can it be like this? Dad's Slakoth actually lost so easily..." But Max suddenly changed his saddened look and glanced at Ash with pure admiration, "He definitely deserves to be my big brother, he is so awesome! "
Seeing Max's stat-stuck appearance, May said amusedly, "Max, who do you even support in this match?"
"Of course I support both sides. I won't be sad no matter who wins or loses this battle!" Max said this without thinking.
"Ash, your Pokémon's are quite powerful. I could see that your Phanpy is still a newbie at these kind of battle!" Norman looked at Phanpy who was already panting, "Then for my second Pokémon, let's go, Vigoroth!"
This Vigoroth is the evolution of the previous Slakoth!
The evolution of Pokémon is so wonderful. The lazy Slakoth was a very lazy guy, but after evolving, he became an ape that is in full excitement all day long and couldn't stop at all.
But after Vigoroth evolved, it changed it's ability. When it evolved into a Slaking, it too will lose his current ability and be forced to have Truant as its only ability.
But such a team of three Pokémon definitely brings out a sense of discomfort to the challenger in terms of the battle rhythm, which is the test that Norman made for his Gym!
"Come back, Phanpy!" Ash decided to take back his Phanpy for now. It didn't have the physical strength to continue fighting for now so it is better to take him back to rest up for a future battle. "Stand by for battle, Tyrouge!"
Ash happily introduced his Fighting-type Tyrouge. After being trained by his Annihilape, his potential was constantly being transformed into real power!
Tyrouge's Fighting-type suppresses the Normal-type Vigoroth in front of it.
After not seeing each other for the past few days, Ash found that his Tyrouge's condition was not quite right, he felt a little absent-minded and preoccupied on something.
"Tyrouge, let's finish the battle first!" Hearing Ash's call, Tyrouge's eyes suddenly became firm on something.
"Then let's begin!" Norman saw that Ash and his Tyrouge were finishing up their adjustment, so he then launched the attack, "Vigoroth, use Slash!"
Vigoroth's claws are known to be very sharp, you can tell the sharpness of of this skill just by looking at its claws shining. However, Ash and Tyrouge both smiled after seeing the crazy movements that Vigoroth was making.
"Double Team!"
Tyrouge's figure transformed into more than ten different figures, all of them now surrounding Vigoroth!
But obviously Norman already has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of situation, "Vigoroth, use Fury Swipes!"
Vigoroth's speed was very astonishing. He defeated three of Tyrouge's clones with one swing of its claws. Then he flashed his figure and swung his claws even more wildly than the previous times. Tyrouge's clones were constantly being reduced in number!
"What speed!"
However Ash did take notice that his Tyrouge was about to be hit by the attack, but he didn't give any orders because he could feel what Tyrouge was feeling!
He saw the last three gathered together in the blink of an eye, and he also saw Vigoroth's claws hitting him all over the face. Tyrouge jumped up and jumped to a height of more than three meters!
"Mega Kick!"
This is a skill that Tyrouge has honed over time under his Annihilape's training. It landed from the sky and hit Vigoroth's body with the force of all of its fall!
"Vigoroth, Flamethrower!"
Seeing Tyrouge leaping into the air again after landing taht hit, Norman decisively launched a Special Attack, and it turned out to be a Flamethrower!
"Jump Kick!"
It was impossible to avoid the Flamethrower's attack in the air. Tyrouge gritted his teeth, his knees were shining with the light with Fighting-type energy, and he decisively rushed towards Vigoroth with the flames on his body!
This scene really shocked May, and she even couldn't help but tremble, "How could this happen? Why do I have a very strange feeling that's something is going to happen very soon?!"
Max's blood was already boiling, "It's so awesome, May, did you see it? That Tyrouge didn't hesitate at all when facing Vigoroth's Flamethrower, and instead rushed over according to Brother Ash's order!"
Tyrouge gritted his teeth, Ash's words echoed in his mind, the Fighting-types was born for fighting, and all it has to do is keep fighting, no matter what happens!
"TY!!!"
It roared against the flames, and finally got closer to Vigoroth, kicking it away!
"Vigoroth loses the ability to fight, Tyrouge wins this battle!"
Vigoroth was hit by the very powerful and super effective Fighting-type move in addition to all the previous damage he was inflicted with, so he naturally lost his fighting ability. At this time, Tyrouge was also seriously injured.
But it dragged its thin body and came to Ash's side step by step, and then knelt down on one knee.
"Tyrouge?"
Ash could clearly feel that it seemed to have something on its mind, so he stopped fighting with Norman and squatted in front of it, "Did Slowking talk to you about that?"
Bulbasaur, who didn't want to evolve before, suddenly came back as an Ivysaur after Slowking talked to it.
Slowking and Ash pretty much have the same mind. Although Ash has decided to respect Tyrouge's ideas and spend more time training Tyrouge to use all of its hidden talent. Now Annihilape is specifically responsible for this. Tyrouge's growth also made Ash very satisfied with him.
But Slowking most likely still had a conversation with Tyrouge as his senior. In fact, it often communicated with Ash's Pokémon and matched them with different training targets to let them increase their power and their control.
Ash didn't know what Slowking said to him, but obviously some of the words touched Tyrouge's heart!
Tyrouge was silent and just knelt in front of Ash. After a moment, he looked up at Ash's powerful gaze, and suddenly his eyes flashed, as if he had finally realized something.
Then, it began to emit a bright light, its size continued to increase, and its body became stronger!
"It's evolving?" Max's eyes shined brightly. This was the first time he saw the light of evolution! For people who love Pokémon, this is one of the most touching moment no matter how many times they have seen it!
Ash's eyes also lit up considerably, he could understand Tyrouge's thinking because of the bind they shared and his Psychic Imprint. He finally gave up his persistence in not wanting to evolve, in order to get stronger power and helping his Master accomplish his dream!
It's not that he has lost his confidence and determination to become stronger in this form, but that it wants to gain stronger potential in an evolutionary form to became an even more effective Pokémon for Ash! Everything is for Ash!
But its evolution makes Ash a little worried. Tyrouge has three evolution forms, Hitmonchan who is good at boxing, Hitmonlee who is good at kicking, and Hitmontop who is good at being a Beyblade.
With its current skill set, it is obvious that the more offensive Hitmonlee is more suitable for him. It would be a big loss if it evolved into a Hitmonchan or a Hitmontop.
Fortunately, the light of evolution dimmed down, revealing its evolved form!
The height of 0.85 meters reaches a full 2 meters, which is now taller than Ash himself.
In terms of appearance alone, this Pokémon in front of him is definitely the best looking of the Hitmon Trio in Ash's impression. It has no head, two eyes looking menacing and the eyes were very deep, but it has also had no mouth. Both hands and feet each have a part of the shape of a spring, which can expand and contract freely.
Tyrouge had evolved into a Hitmonlee now!
The shockingly tall Hitmonlee shows how effective Ash's previous training with Tyrouge went!
"Thats so cool. I didn't expect Ash's little Tyrouge to be so tall after evolving. This is a much taller Hitmonlee than the ones that the data book talked about!" Max was shocked in a good way. This simply surpassed all his impression of Hitmonlee!
Ash looked at the evolved Hitmonlee and said, "Congratulations, you deserve it, Hitmonlee!"
Hitmonlee: 240/255
