章 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!"
