“But there are two of them,” Xiao Zhi said.
"They came together; they are travel companions."
“We’re partners with Gary too,” Ash retorted.
"You think we didn't hear your conversation? You do know each other, but you're just trainers trying to collect badges and spy on battles to find out which Pokémon the Gym Leader will use. Don't think we don't know. Get out of here!" the guard roared.
Ash and his two friends were so frightened that they ran away.
"How stingy! It's just watching a battle. Even Blaine doesn't act like this." Ash complained after they got some distance away.
"Alright, Ash, I'll come back later," Brock said.
“Yes, and what Gary said makes sense. He might be able to defeat the powerful Pokémon of the Viridian City Gym Leader,” Misty said.
"Xiaoxia, what do you mean? Do you think I can't be defeated?" Xiaozhi said, dissatisfied.
“You forgot that Xiao Mao’s strength is greater than yours by 28. He didn’t have as much trouble fighting Xia Bo as you did,” Xiao Xia said.
"The situation in a battle can change in an instant. I just don't have a Pokémon suitable to deal with Fire-type Pokémon. Let me have a battle with Gary, and the outcome is still uncertain," Ash said, unconvinced.
"Fine, fine! You're so great, okay?" Xiaoxia was too lazy to say anything more. When Xiaozhi got stubborn, he was just like an unreasonable child.
...!
[Ding! Mission issued: Obtain the Viridian Gym Badge / Rewards: 10 Intermediate Rare Candies, a permanent Dig TM, and 1 Superior Soft Sand (increases the power of Ground-type moves by 50%)!]
Inside the Viridian Gym.
Shigeru and Sabrina entered the inner battlefield.
Itagi had decorated the Tokiwa Dojo quite luxuriously, with the surrounding walls made of fine marble. He himself was sitting on a sofa in a bleacher behind the command area, with his cat boss next to him.
【LV40 Cat Boss♂/Dojo】
When Shigeru saw the cat boss, he thought that the cat boss was not very strong and seemed to be just a pet that Giovanni usually kept.
"I am Giovanni, the trainer of the Viridian Gym," Giovanni introduced himself in a cool tone.
"I'm Shigeru from Pallet Town," Shigeru replied, introducing himself.
When Banji heard the name, he was startled. He had heard this name quite a few times recently. Yamato and Kosaburo, Musashi and Kojiro had all mentioned Shigeru's name in their reports, and he had even heard of him at the Rainbow Stone arcade.
Giovanni never expected Shigeru to come to the Tokiwa Dojo to challenge him. Well then, he'll settle all the scores from the past and teach Shigeru a lesson.
"You look quite energetic. Alright, I'll accept your challenge," Banmu said with a smile.
The two guards at the entrance were standing in the command area. One of them announced, "The number of Pokémon that can be used is limited to three. There is no time limit. The competition is now officially starting."
"Go, Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.
At the same time, Giovanni took a Poké Ball out of his pocket and threw it: "Go, Golem."
Baton!
【LV40 Golem♂/Quasi-King】
Seeing Golem's level, Gary thought that Giovanni was quite disciplined, as he didn't send out a Pokémon of Gym Leader level or higher.
"Groncho, use Roll," Banmu casually issued the command.
"rumble!"
The Golem rolled directly toward the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Gary didn't understand what Giovanni meant either. He felt that Giovanni was not a qualified trainer at all, and was far inferior to the Giovanni in the special manga.
"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me. Super Iron Tyrannosaurus, use the Horn Drill," Shigeru commanded.
"Roar!!"
The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus also ran forward, the drill on its head spinning rapidly, forming streaks of white vortex light.
boom! !
The two Pokémon collided with each other. Golem was no match for Giganotosaurus. Horn Drill broke through Golem's defense and sent it flying.
Bang! !
Longlongyan was sent flying several meters away and crashed to the ground, immediately losing his ability to fight. He was killed instantly by the Horn Drill.
It's clear that this Golem doesn't have the Sturdy ability and can't withstand one-hit KO moves.
"Gronteid is incapacitated," the guard announced.
"Pretty impressive, let's use this next." As Giovanni spoke, he recalled Golem, then opened a Poké Ball. A ball of white light entered the arena, and when the light dissipated, a Kingler appeared.
【LV40 Giant Claw Crab ♂/Near-King】
"Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex, come back!" Upon seeing Kingler, Gary recalled Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex without hesitation.
"Alakazam, it's up to you!" Gary sent out Alakazam to fight. Although he had Zapdos, it was definitely not suitable to send it out at this time.
Baton!
Hudi makes his appearance.
"Use the giant pincers to hammer the crab claws," Itagaki commanded.
The giant crab charged sideways toward Alakazam, its massive right claw enveloped in a curtain of water.
"Strong mental thoughts."
Alakazam's eyes flashed blue, and the giant crab's forward-moving body suddenly floated up, before being violently flung away by Alakazam's psychic power.
The giant crab, relying on its hard shell, withstood the attack and immediately retaliated by shooting out a bubble beam.
"After teleporting, use Explosive Fist! 753," Shigeru commanded.
Alakazam vanished from its spot in an instant and reappeared behind Crab. It unleashed a powerful punch that struck Crab's shell. The fighting spirit energy entered Crab's body, causing it to shake violently. Crab felt dizzy and disoriented, unable to discern Alakazam's location, and began to sway wildly.
"Very good, use your mental strength to recite."
Alakazam finally defeated Kingler with a single Psychic attack.
Giovanni's trainer skills were too poor; he had no tactics whatsoever, and he didn't even know the nature of these Pokémon or what kind of battles they were suited for.
Gary felt that these Pokémon were raised by others specifically for Giovanni to fight in gym battles, and that Giovanni was far inferior to other gym leaders.
However, the man before him had no interest in ordinary Pokémon; he only believed in overwhelming power, because any schemes, tricks, or tactics were useless in the face of absolute strength.
Giovanni recalled the defeated Kingler and said, "Your strength is not bad, and you are qualified to let me use my strongest Pokémon."
coming!
Knowing that Giovanni was about to use Mewtwo, Shigeru responded, "You're exaggerating. The strongest Pokémon is Arceus."
"...!"
Itagaki was speechless. Of course he knew, but Arceus only existed in legends; after all, no one had ever seen him.
Chapter 128: VS Armored Mewtwo!
"Arceus is just a mythical figure. Now I'll show you what absolute power is."
As Banmu finished speaking, the iron gate below slowly rose, revealing the figure of a humanoid elf.
A humanoid elf emerged from the doorway. The elf was clad in various armors, with armor covering most of its body except for its two thighs.
Anyone who sees Armored Mewtwo wouldn't recognize what kind of Pokémon it is.
[Level 70 Mewtwo/Legendary]
The current Mewtwo is not invincible. It is currently level 70, which is still at the Champion level. In other words, the current Mewtwo has not yet grown to be as powerful as it was in the movie.
Especially considering that the armor Mewtwo is currently wearing is actually used to suppress its power, Gary feels that he still has a chance to fight.
"Grey, this Pokémon is not to be underestimated, be careful," Sabrina immediately warned Ash using telepathy.
From the moment Mewtwo appeared, Sabrina sensed its vast, ocean-like spiritual power, a spiritual power that no ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon could possess.
"According to the rules, you can only use 3 Pokémon in battle, but considering your excellent strength, you are allowed to use all the Pokémon you have," Giovanni suddenly said.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Mao asked.
"Of course I'm sure," Itagaki affirmed.
“Alright, let’s begin, Alakazam, use the bent spoon,” Gary commanded.
"Hu!"
Alakazam immediately bent a spoon to distract Mewtwo.
Mewtwo stood still, and because it was wearing a helmet, its expression was hard to see. It was probably confused and didn't understand what Alakazam was doing.
Hudi bent the two spoons in his hands and then straightened them, then bent them again and straightened them again, repeating this several times.
Mewtwo was bored. Two blue dots flashed from its black eye mask, and a powerful psychic force instantly bound Alakazam.
"Hu!"
Alakazam immediately used his Nen ability to fight back.
Mewtwo was quite surprised. Having fought so many trainers, this was the first time it had felt resistance from an opponent. Previous opponents had been unable to withstand its psychic power, but this Alakazam had done so.
However, Mewtwo didn't use much force at all; he simply increased his psychic power again and sent Alakazam flying.
boom! !
Alakazam slammed into the marble wall and immediately lost consciousness.
Champion-level Pokémon can basically one-shot Pokémon below the Elite Four level, even using moves with the opposite type.
"Good job, you've completed your mission." Gary didn't expect Alakazam to cause any damage to Mewtwo; it was good enough that it managed to use the Bending Spoon.
"Aerodactyl, it's up to you!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball and released Aerodactyl.
"Oh, Aerodactyl!" Giovanni was slightly surprised to see Aerodactyl. Ancient Pokémon were still very precious. Even though Giovanni didn't care about the power of Ancient Pokémon, he knew that Ancient Pokémon had a very high value.
"Spirit attack!" Shigeru commanded.
"Aww!!"
The fossil aeroda roared, and numerous stone blades appeared around its body as it shot towards Mewtwo.
Mewtwo remained stationary, raised one hand, and two blue dots of light flashed again on its black eye mask. All the flying stone blades were frozen in mid-air, and with a wave of its hand, all the stone blades were accelerated and reflected back.
