"The rules of the gym challenge are 3v3. The gym owner sends out Pokémon first, and the challenger attacks first!"
"During the battle, only the challenger can change Pokémon!"
"When all Pokémon of either side lose their combat ability, they are considered defeated. Now, the battle begins!"
On the referee's stand, the sweet girl wearing a shop assistant uniform waved her hand to announce the official start of the gym battle.
Erika took out a Poké Ball and threw it elegantly!
"Get ready for battle, follow the monster!"
Tangela, blue qualification, level Iv.25
Tangela's appearance is like many vines entangled together, that is, the two-dimensional style looks good.
At this moment, it is somewhat curious in Ash's eyes!
It must be said that Erika, this beautiful woman, seems to have a "wild" appearance of the grass-type Pokémon she captured!
Tangela's level is only Iv.25, and the blue qualification is at the same level as most wild Pokémon.
Obviously, this is a benefit that Erika, as a gym leader, prepared for him. Usually, only Rookie Trainers can enjoy it.
When facing Rookie Trainers, qualified gym leaders always start with easy ones and then go to difficult ones. After finding out the level of the challenger, they will increase the difficulty appropriately.
After all, the purpose of setting up gyms by Alliance is mainly to test Trainers, and gym leaders have no pursuit of winning or losing.
If the performance of the Trainer exceeds expectations, the gym leader will not fight you to death.
And even if the level is a little worse, as long as you can perform well in the gym battle, you can also get the recognition of the gym leader.
There is a chance to get the badge issued by the gym leader!
"Get ready for battle, Charmeleon!"
Ash released Charmeleon!
The level Iv.39 Charmeleon is much higher than Tangela
"This Charmeleon is very strong, it should be not far from evolution!"
As a Grass Type gym leader, Erika undoubtedly encounters the most fire Pokémon when accepting challenges.
The first time she saw Charmeleon, she was sure that this Charmeleon must be extraordinary.
The aura emanating from his body is more fiery than many Charizards!
"Thank you for the compliment from the gym leader. It is indeed not far from evolving."
"But when it evolves depends on its own will!"
"Okay, respect Pokémon, Ash you are very good!"
Erika already had a good impression of Ash, and now she has a better impression of him!
Many people say they like and love Pokémon, but there are very few Trainers who can really accept that their Pokémon will not evolve.
After all, evolution is the simplest and crudest way to greatly improve the strength of Pokémon.
Some people even use the method of forcing Pokémon to evolve in order to make Pokémon stronger quickly.
In comparison, Ash's approach is too gentle!
In order to respect the ideas of Pokémon, Captivate, which has strong combat power in the final form, can be abandoned.
If Charmeleon alone is not enough, then the Pikachu standing on his shoulder can prove this point even more!
Of course, Ash and Erika's thoughts are not the same as Mikey's. Not to mention that his Pokémon have excellent talents, even if they don't evolve, they still have perfect offensive props given by the system!
"Charmeleon, Flamethrower!"
"Tangela, Razor Leaf!"
The battle between Charmeleon and Tangela is about to start.
With the huge level gap and attribute restraint, Tangela has been at a disadvantage from the beginning.
After two rounds, the blazing flame attack burned its Vine Whip to a charred black, and a Dragon Claw resolved the battle!
Tangela basically did not pose a threat to Charmeleon!
Seeing Charmeleon easily defeat Tangela, the amazing flame attack may be stronger than some of its evolved counterparts!
It is definitely a very difficult challenger!
At this moment, Erika also put away the mentality of testing Ash.
She put Tangela back into the Poké Ball and then released her second Pokémon, Weepinbell!
Weepinbell, Level Iv.35, Artisan: Purple!
Its strength is much higher than Tangela. Although it has not yet evolved into Victreebel using Leaf Stone, its strength cannot be underestimated under the command of Erika, a Grass Type Specialized Trainer.
"Charmeleon, Flame Vortex, trap it!"
Erika confidently sent out Weepinbell, but it was defeated by Ash's Charmeleon in less than a minute.
This overwhelming momentum made her have some illusions for a while.
Was she challenging the gym, or Ash!
As the gym leader, she was easily defeated by him.
Although it was restrained by Attribute, Ash's Charmeleon was still unscathed after defeating her two Pokémon.
At this rate, it's normal to defeat three at once!
No, I can't let him push the team!
Subconsciously, Erika wanted to send out her main Pokémon to save the situation a little.
At least she had to defeat this Charmeleon. She was in charge of the Rainbow Gym, and her strength was at the quasi-elite level. Some of her Pokémon were already over level 50, entering the Elite level...
Sending any one, even with Attribute restraint, should be able to defeat Ash's Charmeleon.
But in a flash, she gave up the idea.
Ash was just a Rookie Trainer. It was his ability to train Charmeleon so well!
Erika never forgot the responsibilities of a gym leader!
Just push the team!
Gym battles are mainly for assessment!
Since it's an assessment, there must be a fair standard!
With a wry smile, Erika threw out the third Poké Ball.
A Vileplume at level iv.38!
This Vileplume is the main Pokémon of her second team, and is usually sent out only when facing a challenger with extremely high potential.
Normally, it is enough to deal with more than 90% of Rookie Trainers!
However, facing Charmeleon, who has attribute restraint and a higher level, and Ash, who has exquisite tactical command and can perfectly seize the opportunity, and is not like a newly debuted Rookie Trainer. Erika is rarely confident.
Suppress the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart!
" Vileplume, Sleep Powder!"
Erika commanded Vileplume to use Sleep Powder.
Vileplume is large enough and has accumulated enough pollen!
After receiving Erika's order, the overwhelming Sleep Powder immediately covered Charmeleon.
"Charmeleon, jump up to avoid the Flamethrower!"
Relying on amazing explosive power, Charmeleon leaped high into the air before the powder spread, and a blazing flame came out of his mouth!
"Protect, Vileplume2.3!"
Erika had already experienced the power of Charmeleon's fire skills.
Naturally, he didn't dare to let Tangela take the Flamethrower head-on!
Vileplume raised his hand to support a blue energy barrier to isolate the flames.
At the same time, Charmeleon landed smoothly on the field outside the coverage of Sleep Powder.
And at the moment of landing, Charmeleon exerted force with his legs and rushed towards Vileplume like a rocket!
The body was quickly covered by blazing flames!
"Oh?"
"Is it Flare Blitz?"
Ash stared at Charmeleon in surprise as he rushed towards Vileplume with flames.
He didn't expect Charmeleon to learn a new skill in the battle!
It was a physical skill of the fire type!
Just like that, the cyan barrier just disappeared, and Vileplume, who had no time to react, was knocked out of the field by Charmeleon.
The whole body was charred, and white smoke came out of his mouth!
