Unknowingly, Ash had already captured four Pokémon during his time in the Johto Region.
Heracross, Bayleef, Quilava, plus the newly captured Slowpoke, plus Pikachu, Snorlax, and Squirtle that are now with him, Ash's number of Pokémon once again reached 7.
Therefore, Ash decided to teleport Squirtle to Professor Oak's Lab.
Maybe Squirtle felt something during this period. After all, Ash put a lot of energy into the new Pokémon and rarely trained it anymore. Instead, he used it as a sparring partner to help other Pokémon.
Also, Charizard, who traveled with them and quickly evolved to the final stage, gained new powers after arduous training, which made him envious.
In fact, Bulbasaur had accumulated enough power to evolve not long after being caught by Ash.
In Venusaur's mysterious garden, the elder Venusaur wanted to use his power to help the Bulbasaurs evolve.
However, Ash's Bulbasaur refused. It suppressed the power emerging in the body and gave up on evolution.
It wants to prove that even without evolving, you can still gain great power.
But in Kanto's Indigo League challenge, it got beat quite a lot with Squirtle, and also caused Ash to suffer a big losses. Although it was not a big loss to Ash as he could try again in the future, it was still obvious that if they had a stronger body, they would definitely be able to help Ash achieve better results. achievements.
Squirtle has been silently suppressing and not evolving because of the group of younger Squirtles that had been following before being accepted by Ash.
As a Squirtle Legion, doesn't evolution mean betrayal?
However, for Squirtle who voluntarily followed Ash and became his Pokémon, is this considered a double-minded intention?
Now, there are 6 Pokémon around Ash. Even the big eater who only knows how to sleep all day long is also taken by Ash, but he, a former main battler, is teleported back.
After returning to Professor Oak's backyard, Squirtle and Bulbasaur had an in-depth discussion on the issue of evolution, but could not come up with a result.
In fact, they know in their hearts that Ash is willing to respect them and allow them to choose the life they like even if they are not willing to evolve.
Bulbasaur seems to have found a job that he is qualified for. Before he was taken over by Ash, he took care of the Pokémon there in Pokémon Township. Now he manages the backyard of the Laboratory, which is very suitable for him.
But what about Squirtle?
It was willing to follow Ash, but didn't it want to get stronger for him?
. . . . . . .
Of course, Ash, who was far away in the Johto Region, would not know the thoughts of these two Pokémon's.
He was about to go to the mountain behind Mr. Kurt's house to pick a few Apricorn fruits to create Poké Balls with special functions.
The uncle who helped them at Slowpoke Well was none other than the renowned Kurt.
Not only is he an outstanding craftsman who can turn Apricorn fruits into Poké Balls, he is also responsible for guarding the Slowpoke Well in this Azalea Town.
It's a pity that even he has never seen the GS Ball or has any ideas about what it really is.
But after handing GS Ball to Kurt for investigation, Ash and his team's mission was completed.
In order to thank Ash and his group for saving their lives at Slowpoke Well, he not only gave each of the three people a Fast Ball, but also allowed Ash to go to the back mountain to pick some Apricorn fruits to make special Poké Balls for them.
Ash was of course not polite about this and wholeheartedly accepted this arrangement.
As a Pokémon Trainer, who can resist the temptation of special Poké Ball!
"The Apricorn fruit comes in seven colors: white, red, blue, black, pink, green, and yellow, so each Poké Ball made with the fruit has its own individual characteristics!" Kurt's granddaughter introduced the relevant information of the Apricorn fruits to Ash and his party.
In the backyard of his home, only white fruits are grown, so Ash and his team need to go to the back mountain to pick the Apricorn's themselves.
"This is a pink Apricorn fruit!"
Arriving at the back mountain, she pointed to a tree covered with pink fruits and introduced, "The Poké Ball made from this fruit can be used on Pokémon of a different gender than your own!"
Hearing this, Brock immediately thought, "Maybe it will be effective on Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny!"
'Look at the look in his eyes. . . .'
Misty couldn't stand it any longer, so she twisted his ears and interrupted his thoughts.
Ash also twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this guy also someone who can distinguish between the Nurse Joy's and Officer Jenny's from different places around the Pokémon world!
It's a pity that these Apricorn fruits are not ripe yet and cannot be picked.
"Also, don't pick too many at one time, otherwise the tree will die." The little girl gave them her knowledge.
Walking a few steps further, you can see the yellow Apricorn fruit. This is used to create Moon Balls for Pokémon that use Moon Stones to evolve.
Unfortunately, this one was still not ripe yet to be picked, Drake wouldn't mind this at all. He likes them young and ripe.
This is a chance. Ash and his party came here at this time. The fruit is not yet ripe, so it can only be said that they have no chance.
In addition to the Apricorn fruits, various Pokémon seem to live here, guarding these trees from dying.
"That's the green Apricorn tree!"
In front of the group, a large Apricorn tree with green fruits appeared, "That fruit can be made into a Friend Ball!"
After looking at it, she said in surprise, "It should be no problem to pick one of the Apricorns over there!"
Upon hearing this, Ash was about to step forward to pick, but a large group of Beedrill suddenly appeared in front of him.
Beedrill has always been a nightmare for Trainers in the wild. One of them is not that scary, but once you attack back, you will attract an overwhelming number of Beedrills .
"I only picked one!"
In the past, Ash would have immediately turned around and ran away with Misty and Brock.
But this time, blue light color flashed in Ash's eyes, and all the Beedrills stopped moving, unable to move any further.
"This is?"
The little girl was shocked by the scene in front of her. She was so scared that she hid behind Misty, but she found that these two elder brothers and sister did not panic at all when facing these Beedrills, as if this already happened before.
Ash picked a green Apricorn, picked it with Psychic, and returned to Misty and Brock, "Are you ready?"
With that said, he took the lead and ran away holding the little girl in his arms.
The Beedrills behind him broke away from his Psychic and immediately chased the whole group.
Misty's and Brock's expression changed greatly, and they quickly ran away.
Fortunately, these Beedrills did not pursue them very far from the tree. The four people who stopped looked at the green Apricorn in Ash's hand and laughed.
"It's was so exciting, this was amazing!" Kurt's granddaughter happily laughed.
Of course since there is a chance, Ash took Misty and Brock to pick two blue Apricorn and one black tangerine.
Blue Apricorn fruits can be crafted into Lure Balls for catching water-type Pokémon.
The Heavy Ball made from the Black Apricorns is aimed towards Pokémon with a relatively large body weight.
After the production of the Balls was completed, Ash got a Heavy Ball, a Fast Ball, and a Lure Ball.
Misty, a water-based trainer, also received a Lure Ball.
Brock wants to become a breeder, a Friend Ball is certainly the most suitable one. He also captured managed to catch a Pineco in the back mountains that fit his personality.
Professior Oak's mission here is completed, and the drought in Azalea Town has also passed, which is an added bonus.
The Azalea Gym has reopened, and now it's finally time to challenge the Gym.
"Is this really the Azalea gym? It looks like a botanical garden from here." Standing at the entrance of the gym and walking slowly inside, Misty still didn't know what she would face next.
Ash couldn't help but remind her, "Um, Misty, you do know what type of Gym this is, right?"
"What?"
Ash and Brock didn't need to answer, Misty had already reacted.
This Azalea gym is a Bug Type Gym!
Before she could make any move, Catterpie and Metapod suddenly hung down from the tree and appeared directly in front of her.
"There are insects here!!!"
Misty knew it subconsciously, so she threw herself on Ash's back and hid behind his head, not daring to look directly at the Bug Type Pokémon around her.
She has always been close to Ash and her reliance on him his getting more and more.
Ash couldn't help but smile bitterly, Misty was deathly afraid of bug Pokémon, of course they knew that.
However, seeing these Catterpies, he still missed his. Butterfree, who flew away with his girlfriend, he doesn't know what he was doing now.
"I'm sorry, you see my companion is very afraid of insects!"
Gently patting Misty's arm, Ash looked at the boy who appeared from behind the tree.
"It's okay, but don't you think Bug Pokémon is the best Pokémon?" the boy said.
"I think Pokémon in itself is the best. I like insect Pokémon and I also like bird Pokémon." Ash replied.
"No one is qualified to impose his own preferences on others, and force others to agree with his own preferences, right?"
Hearing what he said, the boy took another look at Ash and finally nodded, "Yes, that's true. I should say sorry for this!"
"Hello, I am the Leader of the Azalea Gym, call me Bugsy, I'm the Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia. Please to meet you all!"
"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and I'm here to challenge the Azalea Gym!"
The battle begins like this!
The Azalea gym is very much like a botanical garden. The battle site is in the middle of a dense forest, surrounded by trees. It is obviously very beneficial to bug Pokémon.
"Now begins, the official competition between Azalea Gym Leader Bugsy and challenger Ash from Pallet Town, with the HiveBadge as the challengers prize! The number of Pokémon used is limited to three!"
"Ash, let me tell you something, whoever catches Bug Pokémon can conquers the world. Have you ever heard of this sentence?" Bugsy asked again before the battle began.
'That's too dumb for me to even comprehend, what the heck does it even mean?' Ash was just having his inner monologue.
Until now, the two Gym Leaders in the Johto Region are quite strange. One is obsessed with bird Pokémon and the other is obsessed over Bug Type Pokémon.
But before he could answer, Bugsy had already sent out his first Pokémon.
As a rule of the gym challenge, the Gym Leader must send out their Pokémon first, so that challengers can adjust their strategies based on their first Pokémon.
"The Silent Warrior of Bug Pokémon, go ahead, Spinarak!"
Of course, Ash is very familiar with Spinarak. During his time in that strange place where the Officers of that place had to have a Spinarak as their partner, during that time they also partnered with a Spinarak to arrest the Rocket Trio.
That was also the most comfortable period of Ash's journey.
Coincidentally, Team Rocket was about to break into the Gym when they were caught again by the Bug Type Pokémon in the gym.
"It's up to you, Slowpoke!"
Neither Misty nor Brock expected that Ash would actually send out the the Psychic type Slowpoke that he had just captured.
But seeing this Slowpoke, Bugsy's expression changed, "I didn't expect you to be recognized by the Slowpoke God! Ash, facing you, I must use my full strength!"
The problem is, Slowpoke is a Water-type and Psychic-type Pokémon, and Bug Type attacks are super effective against it!
"String Shot!"
The String Shot attack of the Spinarak easily hit the Slowpoke. No matter how different this Slowpoke was, its speed was still its major weakness.
"You can't move!" Bugsy thought he had a chance to win, "Use Poison Jab!"
"Slowpoke, use Water Pulse!"
Water Pulse did not hit the Spinarak, but was thrown to the ground by Slowpoke. Then, Water Pulse turned into a wave more than two meters high, and turned into a shield to block Poison Jab.
"My turn, Confusion!"
Slowpoke is a water and psychic type Pokémon. Perhaps it was because of Ash's Psychic that he accepted Ash as his trainer.
Its eyes flashed with a pink light, enveloping the Spinarak.
"Spinarak!"
The Spinarak has been unable to move, and Bugsy has nothing to do. It is not good at physical strength and can't break free from the comfort of Confusion!
Bugsy could only watch as Slowpoke smashed his beloved Spinarak to the ground and then lost the ability to fight!
"Ash's Slowpoke is so strong!" Misty compared her Psyduck, both of them knew how to use Confusion, and they both looked dumb. Why is there such a big gap?
"Come back, Slowpoke!"
After all, Slowpoke is still stuck to the web made by Spinarak, and may be much easier to beat in the next battle.
Seeing Ash take back the Slowpoke, Bugsy glanced at him and said, "My second Pokémon is the most proud Shield of Bug Pokémon, Shuckle!"
Ash's expression changed when he saw this Pokémon. For no other reason than Shuckle's species strength distribution was very disgustingly defensive.
The attack and special attack are extremely low, but the defense and special defense are extremely high to the point it has higher defensive stats than most legendary Pokémons.
If paired with another move like Power Trick or Body Press. . .
"So it's a Shuckle, then it's up to you, Bayleef!"
After Bayleef came out, she got used to returning to her trainers side, "Please!"
Of course Ash loves his little Pokémon who also loves him very much.
"Ash, are you looking down on me? Facing my Bug Type, you still dare bring out grass-type Pokémon to challenge me?" Bugsy was a little angry, and Ash took out a Pokémon restrained by Bug Type one after another.
However, Ash shook his head, "Of course I have my own plans for using Bayleef, come on!"
Sure enough, Bugsy's first command was the Psychic skill, "Shuckle, use Power Split!"
This skill can force the attack and special attack capabilities of both the enemy and themselves into an average value.
Shuckle, whose own attack and special attack are very low, suddenly became on par with his Bayleef.
However, Shuckle's defense and special defense have not changed, they are always stupidly high!
However, Ash himself allowed Bugsy to level the attacks of both sides, and at the same time let Bayleef use her move, "Poison Powder!"
The purple powder enveloped Shuckle almost at the same time. No matter how high its defense was and it fell into a poisoned state, its health would continue to be deducted throughout the ordeal!
"I understand, Ash used Bayleef just to poison Shuckle!" Brock finally came to his senses.
I didn't expect Ash to use this stall tactic to defeat his opponent! Ash is no longer the newcomer who only knows how to attack and no other tactics!
In this Bug Type Gym challenge, Ash can be said to be fighting against the typing's to the very end.
The battle continued where Bayleef to just circle around Shucke while it can't do anything because of its low speed.
It got knocked out because of being poisoned at the beginning of their confrontation.
Bugsy didn't like that and looked very pissed.
They both returned their Pokémon to have some rest. Now for the last one.
Facing the third Pokémon sent by Bugsy, Scyther, Ash actually sent out his Heracross, which was also a Bug type.
Instead, the Fire type Quilava had no chance to battle.
However, Scyther is of Bug type and Flying type, while Heracross is of Bug Type and Fighting type, so it has it's advantages there.
"Strike first, Scyther, use Quick Attack!" Bugsy let Scyther take advantage of her speed and rush forward first.
But seeing this scene, Ash smiled instead.
Facing Heracross, Bugsy only used Quick Attack to attack. This shows that this Scyther has no Flying skills at all!
"Heracross, you know what to do!"
Scyther's is also very cool, with two sharp scythes standing upright, turning into a flash and charging towards Heracross.
His Heracross's eyes were fixed on Scyther's figure, and then, his strong arms easily held Scyther's scythe, forcibly fixing its figure.
"How can it be?!"
Bugsy couldn't believe the scene before him, but Heracross's attack hadn't started yet!
"Heracross, use Mega Horn!"
The very first move he used was one of Bug types strongest move. Heracross's big horn flashed with the dazzling Bug green light, knocking Scyther away.
"Scyther loses the ability to fight and Heracross wins, so the winner is the challenger, Ash from Pallet Town!"
"Scyther, come back, you did a good job, but the challenger is too strong for us!"
Bugsy took Scyther back and looked at Ash, "Ash, you are really powerful. One of the strongest I have fought with. This Hive Badge is yours!"
"The Hive Badge is now ours!"
"Pikachu!"
Slowpoke: 135/180
Bayleef: 195/215
Heracross: 145/250
